Local Development Scheme March 2015-2018
Local Development Scheme March 2015-2018 Introduction The purpose of this Local Development Scheme (LDS) is to identify new and revised planning policy the Council is preparing to form the Local Plan. Under planning regulations, the Council is required to regularly update this document and post it on its website. The Chorley Local Plan includes all of the local planning policies for Chorley and any planning applications have to be decided in line with it unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The current system was put in place by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 where Local Plans were previously known as Local Development Frameworks. Within this area there is joint working with the Central Lancashire authorities (made up of Chorley, Preston City and South Ribble Borough Councils). This work has included the adoption of a joint Central Lancashire Core Strategy in July 2012 as well as a variety of Supplementary Planning Documents, which form part of the Local Plan. Purpose of the Document This document covers the three year period between March 2015 and March 2018. In relation to Chorley, it supersedes the previous LDS which was published in April 2014. The LDS includes the following information: Local Plan documents to be prepared from March 2015 onwards; and a timetable for their preparation. Details of the progression of the Chorley Local Plan 2012-26 to adoption. The proposed Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Local Plan. Proposed SPDs - Ecology SPD, Householder/Housing Design Guidance SPD A list of remaining ‘saved policies’ from the Chorley Local Plan Review (2003). Resources available within Chorley to prepare Local Plan documents. Potential risks to the timely achievement of the work programme set out in this LDS and how these risks are to be managed. Hierarchy for Existing and Proposed Planning Documents National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) (March 2012) Planning Policy for Traveller Sites (March 2012) Lancashire Minerals and Waste Core Strategy (adopted 2009) Lancashire Minerals and Waste Site Allocations DPD (adopted September 2013) Central Lancashire Core Strategy (adopted July 2012) Chorley Local Plan Review (adopted 2003) Chorley Local Plan 2012-2026 (Partial Report November 2013) Community Infrastructure Levy Charging Schedule LDD (adopted July 2013) Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) (emerging and adopted) Development Plan Documents (DPDs) have the greatest weight in local planning policy. They form the development plan. However, in respect of the Chorley Local Plan, until the Chorley Local Plan 2012-2026 is adopted, some policies from the Chorley Local Plan Review (2003) that comply with the Framework will also remain in use. Local Plan Documents – Update Central Lancashire Core Strategy DPD The Central Lancashire Core Strategy July 2012 is the strategic document of the plan and covers all three Central Lancashire authority areas – Chorley, Preston City and South Ribble Borough. It sets the overall strategic vision for the area, including issues such as setting housing requirements and principles for infrastructure. The need for a review of the Core Strategy will be considered in early 2015. Chorley Local Plan 2012-2016 Each Central Lancashire authority is producing a separate Local Plan. The Local Plan sets out development management policies, and allocates or protects land for specific uses, such as housing, employment or play space. Chorley and South Ribble received their Partial Interim Reports from their inspectors in November 2013 following examination and consultation on the Inspectors Minded Main Modifications. The Chorley examination in public took place in April/May 2013. The Planning Inspector considered all of the modifications presented during the hearings and a further consultation on the Inspectors Minded Main Modifications took place in July/August 2013. All representations received were forwarded for consideration by the Planning Inspector before the Partial Report was issued. The Partial Report covers all matters other than those relating to Gypsies and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople. This matter was examined at a reconvened hearing on 23rd September 2014. The Inspector has indicated that she intends to produce her draft report w/c 13th April 2015. A timetable for the progression of the Local Plan is included in Appendix 1. Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Accommodation Local Plan A Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) was published in January 2014 which identified the need for 5 permanent pitches in Chorley and a transit need of 15 pitches across Central Lancashire. No need for a Travelling Showpeople site was found. In light of this the Council will allocate a site for a minimum of 5 permanent residential pitches in the Local Plan. The Council is committed to producing a separate Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Accommodation Local Plan jointly with the neighbouring authorities of South Ribble and Preston which will address the transit need and address any further need identified in further work on the GTAA. The Council recognises that the Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling Showpeople population can be hard to reach when undertaking GTAAs and that there may be a need resulting from overcrowding on existing sites, concealed households or those living in bricks and mortar which the January GTAA has been unable to identify. A timetable for the production of the Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Accommodation Local Plan and additional GTAA work is included in Appendix 2. Saved Policies from Chorley Local Plan Review (2003) A full list of policies saved from the Chorley Borough Local Plan Review (2003) to be replaced by the Chorley Local Plan 2012-26 can be found in Appendix 3 of this document. Appendix 4 lists all those that were replaced by the Core Strategy. Other Documents Statement of Community Involvement The Council’s Statement of Community Involvement was adopted in September 2014. Supplementary Planning Documents Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) offer local planning authorities the opportunity to add guidance on specific policy areas. The purpose of SPDs is to provide guidance on the interpretation and implementation of relevant planning policies, particularly those in the Central Lancashire Core Strategy. They form part of the Local Plan. The following Central Lancashire SPDs have been adopted: Affordable Housing – Oct 2012 Controlling Re-Use of Employment Premises – Oct 2012 Rural Development – Oct 2012 Design Guide – Oct 2012 Access to Healthy Food* – Oct 2012 Open Space, Sport and Recreation – Sept 2013 The following Chorley SPD has been adopted: Renewable and Low Carbon Energy SPD The following SPDs are proposed: Ecology SPD Householder/Housing Design Guidance SPD Information on the content of these SPDs and proposed timescale for completion is set out in Appendix 5. *The Access to Healthy Food SPD was adopted in October 2012, however, after consideration at the Chorley and South Ribble Local Plan Examinations, the SPD and proposed Local Plan policy with their references to a 400m exclusion zones was not considered robust and the SPD has been suspended pending a review which will inform whether it is revised or withdrawn. Annual Monitoring Report Chorley Council produces an annual monitoring report. The latest report was produced in November 2013. It is intended that this will be updated in June 2015. Resources The following in-house resources will be made available: Planning Manager Team Leader Principal Planning Officer 2 x Planning Officers 1 x Planning Assistant In addition, joint working between the Central Lancashire teams is coordinated through a Central Lancashire officer working group. There is also a Joint Advisory Committee made up of members from the three Central Lancashire authorities and Lancashire County Council. The Planning Policy team can draw on additional resources from other teams within Chorley Council for expertise on areas such as; Housing Neighbourhood management Environmental health Economic development Property services Sports development Parks Corporate policy Lancashire County Council has a strategic planning function. Chorley Council can draw upon their expertise in the following areas; Transport and highways Ecology Minerals and waste Cross-boundary issues Health Education Consultants are engaged on specific projects where there is a lack of expertise or capacity in-house, for example the production of evidence base studies such as the GTAA. Risk Assessment of Delivering LDS Programme In preparing the LDS, the main risks to programme slippage are: • Staff turnover/absence – This potential problem has been mitigated by the allocation of responsibility for production of the LDF to all members of the planning policy team, to allow for cover if required. Also the authority has established good working relationships with consultants with a view to employing them from time to time, subject to mutual agreement and financial arrangements. • Political delay – The potential for delays due to the political process is increased by the requirement for joint/aligned documents (such as some of the SPDs) to be endorsed by the relevant decision-making structure of each Central Lancashire authority. This has been mitigated by involving Members from all three authorities in a Joint Advisory Committee informed by LDF working groups in each district authority enabling Members to be fully involved at an early stage. • Joint Working – Although there are considerable benefits in joint working, there are risks in terms of programming work and political decision making. The three authorities are minimising this risk through a memorandum of understanding. • ‘Soundness’ of DPD – Joint and independent working, this risk will be minimised by liaising closely with relevant partners and agencies, neighbouring authorities and having regard to the soundness toolkit and procedural implications. • Changing Legislation – The risk of changing legislation during the preparation of the LDF is a challenge. This impact will be minimised by attending events, liaising with the relevant Government department, keeping up-to-date with new policy and legislation and assessing how this may impact on the LDF. This is largely out of the authority’s control. • Finance/Resource Availability – Finance and resource availability will be a significant challenge in the forthcoming years. This will need to be considered by the authority and assessed on an annual basis. The risk of lack of finance has been mitigated by advance budgeting and joint working savings.
