INTRODUCTION 1.1 This representation has been prepared by Hunter Page Planning (HPP) on behalf of Greensquare Group Ltd and Lioncourt Strategic Land in relation to Stroud District Council’s consultation on the Local Plan Review: Issues and Options Paper. 1.2 Greensquare and Lioncourt are the joint promoters of approximately 330 hectares of land at Sharpness which is considered a suitable site for a new growth point in Stroud to meet the needs of the District up to 2036. 1.3 GreenSquare Group is a pioneering housing, regeneration and social investment agency working throughout Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. It is committed to delivering high quality, sustainable homes and customer focussed services for diverse range of people in well balanced, mixed tenure communities. It consistently delivers on its strong commitment to community consultation, place making and social inclusion. The Group manages over 11,700 homes across its operational area and locally through its Gloucester- based subsidiary, Oxbode Housing Association. It has an annual development programme of around 400 homes. 1.4 In addition to homes for sale, GreenSquare Group is a major developer of new affordable housing and a lead development partner under the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) National Affordable Housing Programme (NAHP). 1.5 Lioncourt Strategic Land is one arm of the Lioncourt Group, which comprises Lioncourt Homes and Lioncourt Strategic Land. Formed 10 years ago, they are based in Worcester. Lioncourt Homes is rated as a five-star HBF quality Housebuilder (2015, 2016, 2017) and won the HBF Small Housebuilder of the year award 2016. In 2016, Lioncourt Homes delivered just over 200 new homes. 1.6 The Stroud District Local Plan was formally adopted by the Council on the 19th November 2015 and sets out the strategy for development in the District until 2031. The adoption followed the publication of the Inspectors Report on the Examination of the Stroud District Local Plan (2nd November 2015) which concluded that it provides an appropriate basis for the planning of the district until 2031 providing a number of modification were made to the plan. Representation to Stroud District Council’s Local Plan Review: Issues and Options Consultation On behalf of Greensquare Group & Lioncourt Strategic Land 1.7 One key main modification was the commitment to an early review of the Plan commencing within five years of adoption or by December 2019, whichever is the sooner, and recognise the possibility of considering the need to assist other local planning authorities in the housing market area in meeting their future unmet objectively assessed development and infrastructure needs. 1.8 The Council is now starting the process of reviewing the current Stroud District Local Plan. The Issues and Options version of the Local Plan Review is currently undergoing consultation. This plan presents the opportunity to identify emerging issues and identify ways of distributing and managing future development needs. 1.9 The Issues and Options Paper poses a series of questions and this representation aims to specifically answer the relevant questions raised within the report, with specific reference to the promotion of land at Sharpness. A copy of the site location plan is attached at appendix 1. 1.10 Accompanying this submission are the following documents which further demonstrate the suitability of land at Sharpness as a growth point to meet the needs of the District: Overarching Vision Document for the new settlement at Sharpness Initial Masterplan prepared by Pegasus Transport Strategy prepared by Peter Brett Associates Flood Risk and Drainage Scoping report prepared by Enzygo Ecological Deliverability Report prepared by EAD Ecology Structure of this Report 1.11 Section 2 of this Statement sets out the vision for a new Growth Point at Sharpness. 1.12 Section 3 looks at the overarching policy context for the District, the county and the country more generally. 1.13 Section 4 considers the most appropriate future growth strategy for the area. It is suggested that the land at Sharpness presents a suitable site for a new Growth Point in the District and further details are provided justifying this position. Representation to Stroud District Council’s Local Plan Review: Issues and Options Consultation On behalf of Greensquare Group & Lioncourt Strategic Land 1.14 Section 5 considers the background evidence and information to inform the review of the Local Plan and identifies the work that Greensquare and Lioncourt are undertaking to help inform that process. 1.15 Section 6 provides a summary of the position and conclusion on the site’s suitability to meet the District’s needs.

  • Stroud Labour Party
    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.

  • Keynote 18 Severn Estuary
    Page 1 of 26 AP18 Severn Estuary – August 2015 Purpose This evidence paper has been developed to provide some context as to the Forest of Dean District Council Allocations Plan (AP) and the Severn Estuary SSSI, SPA, SAC and Ramsar (referred to as the Severn Estuary European Site (SEES) in this paper). It provides further background information in supporting the Allocations Plan (AP) Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) in regard to potential recreational/disturbance impacts in the Lydney Harbour area. The Allocations Plan Habitats Regulations Assessment With regard to disturbance effects in the majority of cases the mitigation provided for in the Core Strategy were considered sufficient to address concerns for any potential adverse impacts. However the HRA screening identified that the quantum of proposed development in the Lydney area had, on a precautionary basis, the potential for likely significant affect alone or in combination on the SEES. However the HRA also identified that the potential impacts from disturbance to the Severn Estuary have to be set in terms of the whole of the amenities in the district. The Forest of Dean and Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are a significant tourist attraction with many formal and informal recreation sites attracting large number of visitors and locals. The HRA found that a number of changes should be made to the Allocations Plan to ensure there were no potential significant adverse impacts of the SEES. These included avoidance and cancellation measures, including additional text in the section on Lydney and policy caveats, to demonstrate how adverse effects on site integrity will be avoided.

I have the following officer comments to make to the second point raised in your email dated 27th January 2017 set out below. Priorities for the franchise specification and Metro delivery to ensure rail services meet the needs of current and future travellers throughout the franchise area, and deliver value for money for both passengers and the taxpayer. Commentary The lack of car parking capacity at Lydney railway station has been an ongoing issue for a number of years. Passengers unable to find a space in the existing car park have parked on the footpath or on the approach road causing a potential hazard to traffic. Lydney is the only mainline railway station in the Forest of Dean. As such it acts as a gateway to the area and is an important piece of transport infrastructure for the wider area. .Lydney is allocated around 1900 houses up to 2026 along with a considerable amount of employment land. Lydney station has seen a 140% increase in passenger numbers over the past 10 years and is key in enabling residents to access employment opportunities as well as encouraging tourism to the Forest of Dean.

  • Hamfallow Parish Council
    DRAFT CONSULTATION RESPONSE TO STROUD DISTRICT COUNCIL’S DRAFT LOCAL PLAN CONSULTATION, NOVEMBER 2019, FROM HAMFALLOW PARISH COUNCIL 1. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your latest version of the Stroud District Draft Local Plan. Hamfallow Councillors have attended the exhibitions and discussions that have been arranged by yourselves and by Ridge, the developer of the proposals for new housing in our area. We have also attended meetings of the local action group, BASRAG, to gauge public opinion on your Plan. 2. In this regard, we would also point out that in our last joint Hamfallow/Hinton Parish Plan, on which we consulted parishioners, less than 2% of respondents favoured clusters of over 100 houses in their parish. As a result, our parishes committed in that Plan to fight large scale developments and to push for sizeable starter/affordable home components in any developments that do take place. 3. Please note that we also commented on the earlier “Emerging Strategy” a year ago and we are very disappointed not to have received any response to the detailed comments we made (attached for ease of reference). None of the concerns we expressed have been addressed in the current draft Plan and so all our earlier comments still apply as comments on the current draft plan. We would like to have proper responses to the issues raised below, and those in our previous response, within 28 days of the close of this consultation. 4. We are very disappointed that the essentials of the new Plan seem almost the same as the previous version we criticised, as in point 3 above.

  • Lydney Cycling Improvements Full Business Case
    Full Business Case Lydney Cycling Improvements COGL43055613 26/10/2018 Executive Summary This report represents the Final Full Business Case for the Lydney Cycling Improvements Scheme. The scheme proposed is a series of interlinking cycling and pedestrian routes, and the package is considered to be appropriate to achieve the agreed aims and objectives of the project as defined by GFirst LEP. The scheme has been developed with the aim of promoting cycle usage and reducing car journeys within Lydney. The scheme will create a pleasant, safe and accessible network of pathways around Lydney linking together Aylburton, Lydney Town Centre, Railway Station, Dean Academy, and residential developments. It is recognised that the proposal does not address traffic issues in Lydney, as had been previously identified in earlier studies, due to the level of funding now available. However, the scheme does represent a significant investment in the town. By focusing on cycling routes to key destinations, the improvements will provide alternative routes that can be taken by bike, rather than by a motorised vehicle. Lydney and the wider Forest of Dean area can benefit by an overall increase in cycling, both for the local residents and by enhancing the offer for cycling tourism in the area and for longer-distance leisure routes. The Business Case explains the process of identifying the final scheme and through the defined processes demonstrates that the proposal represents high value for money according to the Department for Transport criteria, and therefore a sound and justified spend of public monies. The most significant benefit from the scheme is derived from the increase in predicted cycling trips, and the associated health benefits for the users, with the level of benefits far exceeding the cost of the scheme.

  • Lydney Aip Turning the Tide
    AA CommunityCommunity @ StrategicStrategic PlanPlan TURNING THE TIDE Why turn the tide? In 2001 a Market and Coastal Towns Initiative (MCTi) was launched to support communities in towns across the South West of England towards regeneration. The Lydney area was chosen as one of nine pilot projects in the region because a lack of community engagement and partnership working had been identified. At the heart of this initiative was the preparation by each local community of a strategic action plan as a starting point. Communities were given some initial funding to help prepare the plan and achieve “quick win” projects. The strategic plan identifies a clear vision for the area’s future and suggests projects to help to achieve it. The full plan, “Turning the Tide at Lydney”, was developed by a local steering group supported by consultants ‘Sustainable Futures’ and launched at a large community event in September 2002. A copy is posted on the website www.lydney.org.uk, or you can request one by calling 0845 4562513. This leaflet summarises aspects of the plan, and asks you to get involved in helping us achieve the community’s vision for the Lydney area as: "A high quality rural and urban environment celebrating its Severnside location and acting as a gateway to the Forest." To help develop the vision for the Lydney area, and in particular to decide which of the many projects in the plan you really wish to see happening, please send us back the questionnaire on the back. The current shadow board, which is in place until the first elections from our members in spring 2004, is now starting work on the Partnership’s future business plan.
