Leeds Revised Submission Site Allocations Plan (SAP) Matters, Issues and Questions Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes and Taylor Wimpey Representor ID: PDP22906 Matter 7 Ref: M7/59/2 Leeds Revised Submission Site Allocations Plan (SAP) Matters, Issues and Questions 1.0 Introduction 1.1 This statement has been prepared by WYG on behalf of our clients Barratt Homes, David Wilson Homes and Taylor Wimpey (herein referred to as our clients). 1.2 As you will be aware our clients are two of the UK’s leading house builders, who have a number of site interests across Leeds and are therefore very keen to engage and assist in the preparation of sound Local Plan which is positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent. 1.3 This hearing statement is solely based on matters and issues relating to HG2-124 and BL1-40 (Stourton Grange Farm South, Selby Road - Ridge Road, Garforth). 1.4 This hearing statement should be read in conjunction with our comments upon the Revised Submission Site Allocation Plan (SAP) and our previous examination hearing statements, principally matters 2 (ref:M2/33) and 7 (ref: M7/59) of the SAP as originally submitted. In addition, we also previously commented upon the Pre-Submission Changes in March 2017. 1.5 This response seeks to address the key issues to be discussed at the forthcoming Revised Submission SAP concerning Matter 7A – Selection of Sites Allocated for Development. 1.6 Our clients general position on HG2-124 and BL1-40 is that whilst we support the retention of part of the Site as a phase 1 housing allocation, we remain concerned regarding the amendment of part of the Site to a Broad Location (amendment reference 106). We consider that the whole Site is deliverable as a housing allocation in the SAP. Nevertheless, we consider that the phase 1 housing allocation is a deliverable housing Site in a sustainable location which will make a significant contribution towards the housing requirements for the Outer South East HMCA in the early Plan years. 1.7 The response is structured such that it follows the questions posed in the Matters and Issues agenda. 1 Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes and Taylor Wimpey Representor ID: PDP22906 Matter 7 Ref: M7/59/2 Matter 7a - Selection of sites allocated for development 2.0 Main Issue 1: For each Housing Market Characteristic Area, are the individual sites selected sound? Questions relevant to Outer South East HMCA: 1. Is the approach of undertaking a revised sustainability appraisal justified for this site? What is the justification for splitting site HG2-124 into two sites including a Broad Location (BL1-40)? Sustainability appraisal 2.1 Our clients consider that a revised sustainability appraisal is justified on this site. This is based upon the fact that HG2-124 has effectively been halved in size from that originally proposed, with the remainder of the previous allocation now identified as Broad Location (BL1-40). This is a notable change to the SAP and the Outer South East HMCA and as such it is considered appropriate that it be re-appraised. 2.2 Appendix 1 of the Council’s Sustainability Appraisal Addendum 1 (ref: CDR1/5a) and Addendum 2 (ref: CDR1/5b) clearly demonstrate that the site (HG2-124), as reduced, remains sustainable. Our clients support this statement and highlight that the site is well located within a sustainable location. 2.3 Garforth is the only major settlement within the Outer South East HMCA providing a transport hub for the area and benefitting from a wide range of services and facilities including two train stations, shops, supermarkets, library, medical centre, pharmacy, leisure centre, sports club and banks. HG2-124 has good accessibility to these services and facilities and is therefore referred to as a ‘natural extension’ to Garforth Appendix 2 (ref: CDR1/5a and CDR1/5b). Appendix 1 to this statement provides further details on the proximity of existing local services and facilities to the site. 2.4 The site will also provide significant community benefits and enhance its own sustainability through the provision of services and facilities. These will include the delivery of affordable housing, a 2-form entry primary school, a local centre and community park. 2 Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes and Taylor Wimpey Representor ID: PDP22906 Matter 7 Ref: M7/59/2 2.5 The site is deliverable and will begin delivering within the first five years, following the adoption of the SAP. It will also provide a continuous, reliable and significant contribution towards the Council’s housing requirement over the plan period from the two largest volume housebuilders in the UK. The NPPF, paragraph 47, places significant emphasis upon the need to provide a continuous supply of deliverable housing sites. 2.6 Our comments upon the submitted Revised Submission SAP (section 5), and response to the Inspector’s original matter 7 Matters, Issues and Questions clearly articulate that the allocation of HG2-124 is justified and that the site is deliverable. To provide greater clarity upon the delivery of this site a Delivery Statement is appended to this response (appendix 2). 2.7 Given the change in circumstance in relation to this site and the wider HMCA between the SAP as originally submitted and the Revised Submission the Council is justified in undertaking further sustainability work upon this site. Our clients firmly agree with the Council’s conclusions that this site remains a sustainable site which should be allocated within the SAP. 2.8 The sustainability credentials of the site are set out within the Council’s evidence base, the discussion above and our previously submitted comments. Splitting site into two, including Broad Location (BL1-40) 2.9 The Council’s justification for splitting the site into two, including Broad Location BL1-40 is based upon the Council’s approach to the Broad Locations. The rationale for this is set out within CDR1/4b which states; “the Council is seeking to reduce the impact of the SAP on Green Belt release by proposing revisions to the Plan as submitted. These revisions propose to designate some land (for a total of 7,834 homes across 43 sites) as ‘Broad Locations’ instead of housing allocations and safeguarded land designations meaning they will remain in the Green Belt until a further review of the Plan. Once a future housing requirement and government guidance have been clarified, the Site Allocations Plan can be reviewed and sites that are Broad Locations can be released if needed for housing, or retained as Green Belt with the Broad Location designation removed”. 2.10 The impact of this proposed change upon the Outer South East HMCA is to reduce the allocations by 1,422 dwellings. Therefore only 53% of the original SAP housing allocations remain in the Revised Submitted SAP. The Council’s updated SAP Background Paper (Ref: 3 Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes and Taylor Wimpey Representor ID: PDP22906 Matter 7 Ref: M7/59/2 CDR1/4b) identifies that in relation to this site; “Given that there are insufficient brownfield or alternative Green Belt allocations which can deliver at scale within this HMCA to deliver housing numbers required to meet the SAP trajectory to 2022/23, an amount of housing is required to remain allocated as a release from the Green Belt. The site adjoins a major settlement and is in line with the Core Strategy. This will require site to be split into HG2-124 and BL1-40 with amended site requirements for HG2-124. The remainder of the site (BL1-40) will only be required post 2022/23, pending review of CSSR and SAP and is changed to a broad location.” (Appendix 2). 2.11 The rationale for the Council’s decision is understood and our clients support the Council in allocating the site. HG2-124, as defined in the Revised Submission SAP, is a sustainable allocation which will deliver a significant quantum of development in the next five years and over the plan period. The revised site can be successfully developed as a stand-alone allocation. The concept masterplan supporting the allocation clearly identifies how this could be achieved including the creation of a defined and defensible edge to the proposed Green Belt boundary. 2.12 The Inspectors will be aware that our clients have previously objected to the identification of part of the former allocation as ‘Broad Location’ BL1-40, see section 2 of our comments upon the Revised Submission SAP. To aid brevity our comments upon this issue are not repeated here. It does, however, remain our clients’ preference that the whole of the site (HG2-124 and BL1-40) be allocated as a single housing site. This would not only conform with the requirements of the Core Strategy but would also provide much needed flexibility in the Outer South East HMCA, and plan as a whole, should any of the other sources of supply fail to deliver as anticipated, see sections 3 and 4 of our comments upon the submitted Revised Submission SAP. The wider allocation would also have the benefit of an existing hard boundary. 5. Whether the site requirements for transport at HG2-124 are justified, and will this result in the policy being effective? 2.13 Our clients do not fundamentally object to the highway requirements for the site but to ensure that the plan is sound it is recommended that greater flexibility is included within the site requirements. The Revised Submission SAP currently states that; “This site will have a significant impact on the A63 through Garforth and M1 junctions 46 and 47. Possible mitigation is likely to include a southern bypass of Garforth and capacity enhancements at M1 Junctions 46 and 47 as agreed with Highways England.

  • Lockdown Miscellany', June 2020
    G & K U3A History Group 'LOCKDOWN MISCELLANY', JUNE 2020. During the Coronavirus Lockdown the usual meetings and visits of the History Group were suspended. This Miscellany arose out of Zoom and email exchanges when members were sharing thoughts about local features of interest. Additional relevant information about the topics was found online. Peckfield Colliery Disaster, commemorated in Micklefield churchyard. Lizzie M. ‘I went for a walk where I’d not been before and came across Pit Lane. I got talking to someone about some lovely big old houses along there and was told they were the pit manager’s house and some of the workers’ houses. I asked where the pit used to be and from there Googled the information and found out about the disaster.’ Pat D. ‘Ashley Land is very knowledgeable about the Peckfield disaster. He has maps and history of the men who lost their lives. He was able to show me my Great Grandfather’s statement on retrieving his father’s body from the mine which was very moving.’ The Peckfield pit disaster was a mining accident at the Peckfield Colliery in Micklefield, which occurred on Thursday 30 April 1896, killing 63 men and boys out of 105 who were in the pit, plus 19 out of 23 pit ponies. The disaster is commemorated at Micklefield Church. Peckfield Colliery was owned by Messrs. Joseph Cliff and Sons, with Mr. Joseph Cliff being senior partner of the Micklefield Coal and Lime Company. Mr. Charles Houfton had been the manager since the colliery opened, and Mr. William Radford had been employed as the Under Manager for 17 years.

  • PNW00193 Outer North East No Agree with Proposed Use? HMCA
    Ref: PNW00193 HMCA\Topic: Outer North East Subject: New site suggestion Address: Agree with proposed use? No Soundness Consider the plan sound? No Test of soundness addressed: Positively prepared Effective Justified Consistent with NPPF Comments on soundness: There is too little consideration of other projects in adjoining areas, as well as developments not covered by LCC. Specifically in the Garforth area, the developments in adjoining Parishes as well as Network Rail and HS2/3 planned developments do not seem to link together - in fact it stuns me that STILL we see maps coming out with potential sites for house building that appear to conflict with other plans from other agencies. Changes required to make sound: I have no issues with Garforth and the surrounding area being expanded but Garforth is at the centre for all such developments PLUS Garforth is the nearest town centre, has the closest railway station which serves fast trains as well as stopping services, PLUS it provides the significant connectivity between the M62/M1/A1/A64. Micklefield, Aberford, Kippax and other PCs may expand but if Garforth is the closest town with the closest amenities then the infrastructure needs significant investment and the abstraction of treating Aberford and Barwick as totally separate to Garforth and Kippax does not help. Suggestions: Create a new zone "Leeds East" consisting of Kippax & Methley, Garforth & Swillington, and Harewood ward south of the A64 such that Garforth is the central conurbation (see https://ukelect.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/leeds-v2.png) for illustration. At present Garforth is dependent on the M1 (2 junctions) and three other roads forming a triangle: Aberford/Wakefield Road, Ridge Road and the A63.

  • Having Read Leeds City Council's Response to Comments Received On
    Having read Leeds City Council’s response to comments received on the traffic modelling I feel strongly I have to respond once again. Their response in my view is dismissive, disingenuous and actually postitively mis-leading in a number of areas. 1. "issues of soundness” and 2. “No party challenges,…the robustness of the modelling.” Parlington is a peculiar setting in that it’s almost land-locked and is isolated without any major roads leading to it and no roads cutting in and out of it with already overburdened rail provision and inadequate bus provision in the neighbouring township and villages. Whilst it has a bridlepath this is unlit and just a mud path basically. So it is currently unsuitable as a general commuting cycle path having dark unlit tunnels, being muddy underfoot and difficult to traverse in winter and as it is so isolated it's worrying to one’s personal safety as a lone walker or cyclist. The entrance to Parlington between Barwick and Garforth is from a rural road without paths and with a narrow bridge where traffic has to take turns to cross. This road then crosses over the M1. So the route from the proposed site is around 3 miles to Garforth railway station along an unlit road and is on-road. It’s neither practical nor sensible to walk along that road from Parlington to Garforth railway station - it would take an hour at an average walking speed (so too long for a walk to the local railway station). The transport modelling and LCC talk about infrastructure improvements being encouraged only by a very large development such as this but actually dismisses the difficulties the particulars of the terrain and roads around this proposed site.

  • Housing Character Assessment
    GARFORTH TODAY HOUSING CHARACTER ASSESSMENT Introduction, Historical background and over-view Page 2 Area 1 - West Garforth Page 10 Area 2 - Church Garforth Page 17 Area 3 - Fairburn and Longmeadow Estates Page 21 Area 4 - East Garforth Page 26 Area 5 - Lotherton Industrial Estate Page 29 Area 6 - Oak Estate, Station Fields, The Crescent and The Oval Page 33 Area 7 - Main Street and Barrowby Lane Page 39 LAND CHARACTER ASSESSMENT Map of Areas Surveyed Page 51 Area Reports Page 51 to 66 Page 1 Garforth Housing Character Assessment Introduction This assessment attempts to record and express the character of Garforth as evidenced by the buildings, streets and pathways, topography and visual appearance of each area of the township. The origin of the name ‘Garforth’ is a choice between two accepted possibilities, both based on Norse roots. The first part comes either from ‘geirl’, meaning a triangular piece of land or from the name of a man, ‘Geir’, ‘Ger’ or ‘Gaer’. The second part refers unequivocally to a ford. The stream forded is today known as Sheffield Beck and was later bridged near that point – hence Garforth Bridge. The entry in Domesday Book (1086) was ‘Gereford’ and this or ‘Gerford’ was the way it was spelt during the 13th and 14th centuries. In the 15th century it became ‘Garford’. In 1559 it was ‘Garfurthe’, in 1603 ‘Garfurth’ and, finally, since 1632, ‘Garforth’. Wakefield Road Milestone Between 410 A.D. and 627 A.D. Garforth was a settlement of about 1000 acres in the Kingdom of Elmet just off The Magnesian Limestone Ridge - “The Cliff”.

  • 18/06182/FU Construction of 52 Dwellings on Vacant Land
    Originator: J.Bacon Tel: 0113 2224409 Report of the Chief Planning Officer NORTH AND EAST PLANS PANEL Date: 16th May 2019 Subject: 18/06182/FU Construction of 52 dwellings on vacant land; removal of Plot 99 and substitution of house types to Plots 98 and 100 of adjacent development at land off Kennet Lane, Garforth LS25. APPLICANT DATE VALID TARGET DATE Redrow Homes 12th October 2018 TBA Electoral Wards Affected: Specific Implications For: Garforth and Swillington Equality and Diversity Community Cohesion Yes Ward Members consulted Narrowing the Gap (referred to in report) RECOMENDATION: TO CONTEST THE APPEAL that has been made against the non- determination of the planning application for the following putative reasons: 1. Development of this proposed greenspace designation would be (unacceptably) premature, contrary to the advice given by the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) at Section 21b Paragraph 014. The Development would be contrary to a new greenspace designation in the (very advanced) Site Allocations Plan (SAP). The proposal would have an undermining and prejudicial effect upon the SAP with regards to designating greenspace, because it would predetermine decisions about the quantity and location of greenspace provision in the major settlement of Garforth. Even if the Development were not ‘premature’ for the purposes of the PPG, it would nonetheless be contrary to emerging policy under the SAP, having regard to paragraph 48 of the NPPF. 2. The proposed development would result in the loss of a significant area of greenfield land which plays an important visual, amenity and ecological role in an otherwise built up area. The proposal is not considered to adequately compensate for the loss of green space and results in a significant loss in area of the Leeds Habitat Network, adversely impacting on its integrity and connectivity.

It's a bit garbled but basically I think the issue with the Parlington plan is that it doesn't seem to fit into a masterplan that covers the surrounding area. 3.3. Why you think the Plan is sound / unsound: There is too little consideration of other projects in adjoining areas, as well as developments not covered by LCC. Specifically in the Garforth area, the developments in adjoining Parishes as well as Network Rail and HS2/3 planned developments do not seem to link together - in fact it stuns me that STILL we see maps coming out with potential sites for house building in east Leeds that appear to conflict with other plans from other agencies. 3.4. Change(s) you consider necessary to make the Plan sound: I have no issues with Garforth and the surrounding area being expanded provided green space is maintained to preserve the distinct identities of each settlement, but: * Garforth is at the centre of all such developments and will function as a hub * Garforth is also the nearest town centre * Garforth has the closest railway station which serves fast trains as well as stopping services * Garforth provides the significant connectivity between the M62/M1/A1/A64.
