Draft Neighbourhood Plan 0 Rossington – Draft Neighbourhood Plan 2016-2032 Rossington Parish Council January 2019 1 FOREWORD On behalf of the Parish Council, I would like to welcome you to the Rossington Draft Neighbourhood Plan. Over the next fifteen years, the Parish will change significantly as it faces massive housing, economic and other forms of development and growth. We hope that the Neighbourhood Plan will give residents a greater say in planning and other decisions over the next 15 years. We are very keen that local issues be addressed by those who live in the area and who would potentially be affected by decisions made. Every resident has had the opportunity to get involved in the making of this Plan. We have undertaken a range of consultation events aimed at residents of all ages. The Plan has been developed by a small working group comprising parish councillors, Doncaster MBC ward councillors, other members of the community, the Parish clerk and Neighbourhood Plan consultants, AndrewTowlertonAssociates. The photographs have been kindly proved by Andrew McAteer and others. I would like to thank all those who have worked on or contributed to the development of this Plan, and we hope that the policies we have proposed, stand the test of time and help ensure the Parish of Rossington continues to be the great, distinct and proud community it is.

The Plan has been drawn up and championed by Rossington Parish Council (the Plan’s ‘Qualifying Body’) working closely with officers and members of Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council (Doncaster MBC), the local community and others with an interest in how Rossington develops over the coming years. Neighbourhood Plans were introduced under the 2011 Localism Act. They are a powerful document, which provides communities with the power to establish their own planning policies to shape future development in and around where they live and work. It means that they have a greater say on where homes, shops and offices should be built, what should look like and what infrastructure should be provided. As the National Planning Policy Framework (2012)2 states, “Neighbourhood planning gives communities the power to develop a shared vision for their area. Neighbourhood plans can shape, direct and help to deliver sustainable development, by influencing local planning decisions as part of the statutory development plan” (Para 29). In preparing a Neighbourhood Plan, a community is not working from ‘a blank piece of paper’. There are rules and regulations that must be followed in its preparation. Based on strong evidence gathered from the consultation and statistical sources such as the 2011 Census, the Plan, once adopted forms part of the Doncaster Development Plan. It will be kept under review and may change over time in response to new and changing needs and requirements. The Plan area accords with the boundary of Rossington Parish. While every effort has been made to make the Plan easy to read, the wording of the actual policies is necessarily more formal. This is so that it complies with statutory requirements. It is also important to note that when using it to form a view on a development proposal or a policy issue, the whole document and the policies contained in it should be considered together. 1 The terms Rossington, Rossington Parish and the Parish of Rossington are all used interchangeable they all refer to the parish of Rossington unless indicated otherwise. 2https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/733637/National_Pl anning_Policy_Framework_web_accessible_version.pdf Rossington Neighbourhood Plan – Regulation 14 Draft Plan - January 2019 5 1.1 WHY WE HAVE DECIDED TO PRODUCE THE PLAN Rossington Parish is undergoing massive and potentially transformational change. A key milestone was a new road linking Rossington to Junction 3 of the M18. This, the Finningley and Rossington Regeneration Route Scheme (FARRRS), was completed in February 2016. It has opened up hundreds of hectares of land in the north of the Parish for housing, employment and other forms of development. Planning permission has already been secured for 1200 homes, together with commercial buildings, food and retail outlets, a school and a health centre on the site of the former Rossington Colliery. Work is also underway on Doncaster IPort a regionally important regeneration project. This will comprise a Strategic Rail Freight Interchange or Inland Port, a rail terminal and 562,000 sq. m of rail and road served distribution units for the logistics industry. The overall site area is 379 ha, with 171 ha being the main development site and the remaining being an access corridor and countryside area for landscaping and ecological mitigation. Beyond the FARRS scheme, there are many other developments proposals under construction or in the pipeline. Notable, is a proposal for a major new world-class golf course together with leisure facilities and 500 ‘luxury’ homes at the 500-acre site at Rossington Hall, in addition to the many other smaller development proposals across the Parish. Rossington in twenty years is likely to be very different than it is now. The consultation shows that the local community understands the need for, and the benefits of development and the important role the Parish has in the economic, social and cultural success of Doncaster and the wider area. Some of these benefits are already being felt; employment growth, the regeneration of run-down sites and improved accessibility to the area. That Rossington is changing and likely to be very different in the future than it is now was a major and recurring theme of the consultation. The community have concerns about the significant growth which is taking place and is planned for Rossington and the negative impact that this might have on the distinct character and identity of the Parish, if not managed appropriately. It is important to the community that development is undertaken with an appreciation of Rossington’s distinctive history and sense of place. The potential impacts on local infrastructure, especially roads and services such as schools, medical facilities and open spaces is also of concern. Ultimately, the community of Rossington wish to have a greater say in the development that takes place in the Parish. Local people are often best placed to understand what works well in their community. The Plan is an opportunity to ensure that any future development protects the attributes of the area that the community value and positively addresses the Rossington Neighbourhood Plan – Regulation 14 Draft Plan - January 2019 6 current and potential social, environmental and economic issues identified during the process. It sets out a vision and process for how community wishes to see Rossington develop over the next fifteen years in a manner that best meets and addresses the local need, makes sense for local people and make Rossington an even better place to live, visit and do business in. 1.2 HOW THE PLAN FITS INTO THE PLANNING SYSTEM The Government’s intention is for communities to have a greater say and role in the system by shaping future development in their area. However, all Neighbourhood Plans must be prepared to comply with a set of ‘Basic Conditions’, outlined as follows: • Have regard to national planning policy, notably the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF); • Generally, conform with the strategic policies contained in the development plan for the area; • Contribute to the achievement of sustainable development; and • Not breach, and otherwise be compatible with EU obligations. The Plan has been prepared to conform with these rules and regulations governing the preparation of a Neighbourhood Plan. The Plan does not duplicate national or borough (i.e.

The report sets out the background and concludes that only qualified support can be given at this time. 6. Recommendations That: (a) the Council offer its qualified support to FARRRS for the reasons given in the report, and (b) a copy of this report is forwarded to Councillor S. Wright as Rotherham’s representative on the CCC. 7. Proposals and Details At the Coalfields Communities Campaign (CCC) meeting on the 21 January 2005, Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council (DMBC) asked for the support of CCC for DMBC’s efforts to secure funding and planning approval for the Finningley and Rossington Regeneration Routes Schemes (FARRRS). Members asked for more information before taking a view and a briefing note was subsequently issued by DMBC (attached at Appendix A). The FARRRS project will provide a link road from junction 3 of the M18 motorway into Rossington and on to the Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport.

    ROSSINGTON PARISH COUNCIL QUESTIONNAIRE VISION We want Rossington to be a prosperous and successful place to live, work and play 187 local residents responded to the questionnaire with 169 (90%) feeling this did sum up the vision for Rossington with 18 (10%) disagreeing or offering their own vision. VISIONS OFFERED • We need to make Rossington a place that we are happy to live in and people want to visit. This would generate spending and contribute to improvement on a continuous basis. • We want Rossington to be a safe, attractive, cleaner and better place to live, work, visit and play. • Rossington, a safe, caring community enabling self and others to thrive and prosper in every area of life. • Rossington should be a safe and healthy place to live, not what it is becoming - an overcrowded and gridlocked mayhem of stagnation and council bureaucracy. • We want Rossington to be a place where residents can prosper and live in peace. COMMENTS • I've lived in Rossington since November 1998 and love it here (moving up from down south). Loads of improvements have been made, especially in the last 8 years, all for the better. • Whilst I agree with the above statement, I cannot see it being achievable until more jobs are created that give a decent wage, along with more affordable housing. • Depends which are you live in. King George’s Road could be better. • Rossington must be as big as Armthorpe and yet Armthorpe has many more shops and 2 banks whereas Rossington has very few shops and no banks. As Rossington is expanding I thing he priority should be more facilities.
