Abstract: We generalize the well-known zero bias distribution and the $lambda$-Stein pair to an approximate zero bias distribution and an approximate $lambda,R$-Stein pair, respectively. Berry Esseen type bounds to the normal, based on approximate zero bias couplings and approximate $lambda,R$-Stein pairs, are obtained using Stein's method. The bounds are then applied to combinatorial central limit theorems where the random permutation has the Ewens $mathcal{E}_{h}eta$ distribution with $heta>0$ which can be specialized to the uniform distribution by letting $heta=1$. The family of the Ewens distributions appears in the context of population genetics in biology.
