Pending Applications:
19/01208/FTP – Leigh End Farm, Church Lane, The Leigh. Diversion of footpath ALH16 for planning application 19/00857/FUL. Still pending 16.09.2020. Nothing new on planning portal since 23 Jan 2020. Still pending 16.12.2020. No Decision Issued – Final disposal dated 19.01.2022. New drawing submitted 15.05.2023. Revised drawing on portal 29.11.2023
16/02000/OUT – Elms Park.

Information last updated 10.06.2020 and last two entries refer to the M5 junction 10 upgrade. Information last updated 20.04.21.

Planning Application decisions:
23/00779/FUL: Evington Manor, Tewkesbury Road, Coombe Hill. Proposed stables in the garden of Evington Manor. REFUSED dated 14.12.2023. 1. The proposed development would cause unacceptable and unwarranted harm to the agricultural character of the rural landscape by reason of form, scale, design, re-use of domestic materials and addition of a solar array, which would together have an overtly domestic appearance and similarity to the former Vine Tree Farm, contrary to Policies SD4 and SD6 of the adopted Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031, Policy LAN2 of the adopted Tewkesbury Borough Local Plan 2011-2031, Policy
E1 of the Leigh Neighbourhood Development Plan and to the NPPF.
2. The proposed development does not meet the exception test for siting in the flood zone and does not demonstrate how it would avoid flood risk, in accordance with a risk based sequential approach. Neither does the development demonstrate how it would incorporate sustainable drainage systems. The development is therefore contrary to Policy INF2 of the adopted Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury
Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031, Policy ENV2 of the adopted Tewkesbury Borough Local Plan 2011-2031, Policy F1 of the Leigh Neighbourhood Plan and the NPPF.
3. The proposed development does not demonstrate how it would protect existing ecological assets, including European Protected Species, contrary to Policy SD9 of the adopted Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031, and the NPPF
22/01165/FUL: Evington Manor , Tewkesbury Road, Coombe Hill. Variation of Conditions 1,9,10 of appeal decision 17/00478/FUL to
allow retention of part (comprising former side bathroom, store and hay loft above) of building known as Vine Tree Farm, to form store and bat roost space above, after demolition of remainder, and in lieu of the erection of new bat house (amended description). PERMIT dated 01.12.2023 with 9 conditions.
23/00751/FUL: Fieldview Bungalow, Tewkesbury Road, The Leigh, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, GL19 4AA. Retrospective Planning Application for a fabric structure with internal steel frame for drying out Area for Motorhomes. PERMIT dated 27.11.23 with no conditions
23/00293/OUT: Land at Church Lane, Church Lane, The Leigh. Erection of 2 no. 4 bed dwellings including details of access with all
other matters (appearance, scale, layout and landscaping as reserved matter) reserved. PERMIT dated 21.11.23 with 14 Conditions.
23/00477/FUL: Land to the South of Blacksmith Lane and East of Cyder Press Farmhouse, The Leigh. Erection of a one storey, one bedroom oak framed dwelling. REFUSED dated 19.09,2023. 1. The site does not lie within or adjacent to the built-up area of the settlement of The Leigh, and as such the proposal does not represent infilling within the existing built-up area of a town or village, does not meet any of the other criteria within Policy SD10 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031 (2017), and there are no other specific exceptions/circumstances defined in district or neighbourhood plans which indicate that permission should be granted. The proposed development therefore conflicts with policy RES4 of the Tewkesbury Borough Local Plan 2011-2031 (adopted June 2022), and policies SP2 and SD10 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031 (2017) in that the proposed development does not meet the strategy for the distribution of new development in Tewkesbury Borough and the application site is not an appropriate location for new residential development.
2. The proposal, by virtue of its siting, layout and design would have a harmful impact on the character and the setting of the listed building. A moderate degree of less than substantial harm would be generated and this would not be outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme. As such the proposal would be contrary to Section 66 (1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Policy SD8 of the
Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031 (2017), Policy HER2 of the Tewkesbury Borough Local Plan 2011-2031 (2022) and policies H1 and E3 of The Leigh Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2020-2031 (2022).
3. The scheme would result in the erosion of the open, undeveloped green spaces separating the dwellings to the detriment of the environmental character and the wider landscape when looking into the settlement from wider views. Therefore, the scheme is contrary to policy SD6 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031 (2017), policy LAN2 of the Tewkesbury Borough Local Plan 2011-2031 (2022) and policy E1 of The Leigh Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2020-2031 (2022).
4. The proposed access would have a substandard visibility splay which would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety, and the proposed development would not be in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the local development strategy for the area, accessibility to services and reliance on private motor vehicle. It would fail to accord with the location strategy and accessibility elements of Policies INF1, SD10 and SP2 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031 (2017) and Policies TRAC1, RES3, RES4 and RES5 of the Tewkesbury Borough Local Plan 2011-2031 (2022) and Policy H1 of The Leigh Neighbourhood Development Plan 2020-2031 (2022).
5. The submitted Preliminary Ecological Assessment is considered out of date and therefore insufficient information has been submitted, an updated PEA is required in order to assess the impact of the development on protected species. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to policy SD9 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031 (2017), policy NAT1 of the Tewkesbury Borough Local Plan 2011-2031 (2022) and policy E2 of The Leigh Neighbourhood Development Plan 2020-2031 (2022).
6. Insufficient information has been submitted with the application relating to the impact of the proposal upon the existing trees. A tree survey and an arboricultural impact assessment is required to demonstrate the impact of the proposal. Accordingly, the proposal is contrary to policy INF3 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031 (2017), and policy NAT3 of the Tewkesbury Borough Local
Plan 2011-2031 (2022).
7. The location of the proposed development results in no realistic transport choices other than the private vehicle to gain access to the site and to access local and community facilities. The scheme is therefore contrary to Policy INF1 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031 (2017) and would conflict with the sustainable transport aims of the NPPF.
22/01217/FUL: Paddock Cottage, Church Lane, The Leigh. Change of use of existing paddock to domestic curtilage. Erection of a
carport with home office above. REFUSED dated 01.09.23. The retention of the change of use of the paddock area as residential curtilage and its associated domestic paraphernalia along with the erection of the proposed car port with home office above represents a significant encroachment into the surrounding countryside and discernible harm to the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Policies RES10 and RES11 of the Tewkesbury Borough Local Plan 2011-2031 and Policy SD4 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031
