The proposal was assessed against Strategic Plan Environment Policies 1 and 2, which protect the countryside for its own sake, acknowledging the impact of the approved new reservoir (PA 09/0107/B) and…
Environment Policy 1
Requires protection of countryside and ecology unless overriding national need outweighs protection and no acceptable alternative. Officer weighed approved reservoir necessity against temporary countryside impact, finding on-site storage acceptable due to environmental benefits over off-site transport.
Environment Policy 2
Protects Areas of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance unless development does not harm character or location essential. Site in AHLVSS; limited visibility (screened by hedges, 12m from road) on lightly-trafficked road made temporary storage acceptable despite countryside location.
Tied to specific drawings and source material
This permission relates to the storage of material generated from the excavation of the adjacent field for the creation of the reservoir approved under PA 09/0107, as shown in drawings 1101A, 1102A and 1103A all received on 23rd June, 2009.
Time limit and restoration
The material may be stored as approved for a period not exceeding twenty four months following the commencement of works on the new reservoir approved under PA 09/0107 after which time the material must be removed from the site and the original profile of the field restored.
