Introduction

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 This Statement of Community Involvement has been prepared by Barton Willmore, on behalf of Mulberry Commercial Developments Limited (“Mulberry”), in support of a S.73 Planning Application made by Mulberry and landowners (the “Applicant”) for the proposed development of the Land South of Harworth, North Nottinghamshire (the “Site”).

1.2 As documented in the supporting Planning Statement, the Applicant is progressing amendments to a previous planning application (the “Application”) for the development of a 235,000 sqm Employment Park (Bassetlaw Planning Reference 15/00971/OUT) on the Site. The Site comprises a mix of units and spaces designed to accommodate general industrial and storage and distribution space across the Site. The Scheme has been amended to respond the latest market conditions and deliver significant employment growth and job creation.

1.3 The proposed development has been subject to a programme of pre-application consultation with stakeholders and the local community. The Applicant has adopted a pro-active approach to consultation, involving stakeholders, statutory consultees and the local community in the design development and evolution process up to submission.

1.4 This strategy has provided the opportunity for stakeholders and the local community to help influence and shape the proposals for their local area, and to capture the regeneration benefits which the proposed development has to offer. At the same time, it has provided the chance for any opportunities and constraints to be identified, and to understand and seek to address any concerns prior to the submission of the Application.

1.5 The purpose of this Statement is to provide a commentary on the consultation methods which have been employed by the Applicant during the pre-application process. This includes meetings and public exhibitions. The Statement also documents how the consultation process has shaped the proposals having regard to the comments and feedback received during this process.

30214/A5/DM/SS 1 June 2019 Planning Policy and Legislative Context

2. PLANNING POLICY AND LEGISLATIVE CONTEXT

2.1 There is a strong emphasis on the need for pre-application consultation within national and local planning policy and Government legislation. The following Section documents the key policy and legislative drivers which have helped shape the Applicant’s consultation strategy.

Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and Localism Act 2011

2.2 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 sets outs the requirement for Local Planning Authorities to prepare a Statement of Community Involvement. Further, it outlined how local communities should be engaged in the preparation of Local Development Plan documents and emerging development proposals within their neighbourhood.

2.3 The Localism Act reinforced the need for developers to engage in pre-application consultation with local communities prior to the submission of a planning application (for certain types of development). Guidance published alongside it in February 2011 (Pre-Application Consultation with Communities: Basic Guide) was withdrawn on 7th March 2014 and replaced by guidance contained with the Planning Practice Guidance launched on 6th March 2014. This is documented further below.

2.4 It should be noted at this point that it is not a statutory requirement to undertake pre-application engagement and consultation for the proposed development. However, in view of the scale and nature of the proposed development, it was identified at the outset by the Applicant that early and effective engagement and consultation was vital in order to help shape the future of the area and its residents.

National Planning Policy Framework

2.5 The National Planning Policy Framework (“NPPF”) was introduced by the Government in March 2012 and updated in 2018. The NPPF sets out the Government’s planning policies for and how these are expected to be applied at a local level.

2.6 The NPPF takes forward the legislative requirements of the 2004 and 2011 Acts, stating at paragraph 39 (NPPF 2019) that “early engagement has significant

30214/A5/DM/SS 2 June 2019 Planning Policy and Legislative Context

potential to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the planning application system for all parties. Good quality pre-application discussion enables better coordination between public and private resources and improved outcomes for the community.”

2.7 In view of the above, both the Applicant and Council have had a role to play in the consultation process to shape the proposed development. In addition, the Site has been the subject of public consultation and relevant feedback has been incorporated into the design where possible.

Planning Practice Guidance

2.8 The Government published the Planning Practice Guidance (“PPG”) on 6th March 2014. This effectively provides supplementary guidance to the NPPF in the shape of a web- based resource.

2.9 The PPG (paragraph: 001: Reference ID: 20-001-20150326) reinforces the message that pre-application engagement by developers offers “significant potential to improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of the planning application system and improve the quality of planning applications and the likelihood of success.”

2.10 The PPG goes on to state that this can be achieved by way of the following:

 Providing an understanding of the relevant planning policies and other material consideration associated with a proposed development;  Working collaboratively and openly with interested parties at an early stage to identify, understand and seek to resolve issues associated with a proposed development;  Discussing the possible mitigation of a proposed development, including any planning conditions  Identifying the information require to accompany a formal planning application, thus reducing the likelihood of delays at the validation stage; and  Putting in place a Planning Performance Agreement where this would help with managing the process and agreeing any dedicated resources for progressing the application.

30214/A5/DM/SS 3 June 2019 Planning Policy and Legislative Context

2.11 The PPG outlines the need for pre-application engagement to be tailored to the nature of the proposed development and the issues to be addressed.

2.12 Turning to those parties to be involved at the pre-application stage, the PPG sets out the need for a collaborative process between applicants and other parties. These may include the following:

 The Local Planning Authority;  Statutory and non-statutory consultees;  Elected Members; and  Local people.

2.13 There is recognition that the parties involved at the pre-application stage will vary on a case-by-case basis, and the level of engagement should be proportionate to the nature and scale of a proposed development. Each party is identified as having an important role to play in ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of pre-application engagement.

2.14 As part of the engagement process, the PPG states that a Planning Performance Agreement (PPA) can be a useful tool to focus pre-application discussions on the issues that will need to be addressed throughout the course of preparing and determining a planning application, and the timescales and resources that are likely to be required.

2.15 As part of this application, the Applicant has discussed the benefits of using a PPA with Bassetlaw Council and a draft PPA is being progressed with the Council.

30214/A5/DM/SS 4 June 2019 Consultation Methodology and Programme

3. CONSULTATION METHODOLOGY AND PROGRAMME

3.1 This Section sets out the Applicant’s consultation strategy. It provides details on the Applicant’s methodology, timescales, and the stakeholders, statutory consultees and local community groups with whom they have engaged during the pre-application process up to submission of the Application.

Methodology

3.2 It was identified early in the process that the main objective of the consultation process would be to communicate the “vision” for the Site and the Applicant’s development proposals to key stakeholder parties, with a view to securing their written and verbal feedback to shape the scheme moving forward.

3.3 The Applicant recognised at the outset that there would be a need to adopt a range of proactive engagement and consultation methods, including arranging and attending meetings, hosting public exhibitions, and using other effective engagement tools (such as social media, internet) to raise awareness of the proposed development and to encourage interaction and involvement.

3.4 The methods adopted by the Applicant have involved the following:

 Arranging and attending meetings with Officers at Bassetlaw District Council and Harworth & Town Council;  Engaging in pre-application discussions with a number of statutory consultees;  Arranging and hosting of 2 x public exhibitions to present details of the proposed development to the local community; and  Correspondence with Ward / Parish Council Members.

3.5 Each of the above are discussed in further detail below.

Timescales and Programme

3.6 The following table provides details of the pre-application engagement and consultation strategy adopted by the Applicant, all of which has helped to shape the proposed development:

3.7 The Applicant and their consultant team have established a constructive dialogue with Officers at Bassetlaw District Council during the pre-application process.

3.8 The valuable dialogue undertaken with Officers at Bassetlaw District Council has served to inform the development proposals now subject to this Application. This process also served to identify other key stakeholders and consultees with whom to consult at the pre-application stage.

Neighbourhood Engagement

3.9 The Applicant has recognised the importance of engaging with representatives of the local community from very early in the design development process.

3.10 Accordingly, the Applicant has engaged with members of Harworth and Bircotes Town Council and provided briefing information in relation to the Applicant’s aspirations for the Site. Invitations were also sent to Blyth Parish Council and to local Ward Members to discuss the application.

3.11 The Applicant also engaged with representatives of surrounding Parish Council’s that may be affected by the proposed development including Styrrup with Oldcotes, Ranskill and Scrooby Parish Councils.

30214/A5/DM/SS 6 June 2019 Consultation Methodology and Programme

Local Community Engagement

3.12 Community engagement was identified at the outset by the Applicant and their consultant team as a fundamental component of the consultation strategy. As a major development, the proposed development has the potential to positively transform the Site and the local area, delivering new job opportunities including flexible, full time and part time roles of various job types.

3.13 In order to help shape the proposed development, having regard to the aspirations and needs of the local community, the Applicant and their consultant team arranged two public exhibitions at which details of the amended development were presented to the local community. In advance of the event, an invitation letter was distributed to local residents together with a plan identifying the location of the Site, as shown in Appendices 1 and 2. The exhibition was also advertised within the Doncaster Free Press local newspaper on two consecutive weeks: 23rd and 30th May 2019. (Appendix 3).

3.14 The first of these exhibitions at Barnby Memorial Hall on Blyth, was held on Wednesday 5th June 2019 between the hours of 3pm and 6:30pm, at which the Applicant’s initial plans for the Site were put on display across a series of display boards (Appendix 4). Representatives from the Applicant and consultant team were on hand to discuss the proposals with attendees, and to answer many of the questions which local residents sought clarification on. A total of 20 people attended the exhibition. Questionnaire forms were made available on the day for attendees to complete, or alternatively take away and return to Barton Willmore (Appendix 5). A summary of the feedback received is documented in Section 4 of this Statement.

3.15 The second public exhibition was held at The Information Centre, Harworth, on Thursday 6th June 2019, again between the hours of 3pm and 6:30pm. As before, the exhibition was advertised by the Doncaster Free Press (Appendix 3). Letters were also issued to the Local Ward Councillors and Parish Councillors (with a Poster for advertisement) (Appendix 6). Display boards illustrating the latest proposals were again made available for attendees to view.

3.16 The second exhibition was attended by 15 people. The general feedback from the exhibition was one of support and encouragement for new jobs, subject to addressing

30214/A5/DM/SS 7 June 2019 Consultation Methodology and Programme

some infrastructure concerns. Details of the feedback provided by members of the public across the two public exhibitions are documented in Section 4 of this Statement.

Other Statutory Consultee Bodies

3.17 To inform the proposed development and the preparation of the supporting technical documentation (including the scope of the Environmental Statement), the Applicant and their consultant team have actively engaged with a number of statutory consultee bodies at the pre-application stage. Details are provided in the accompanying Environmental Statement.

30214/A5/DM/SS 8 June 2019 Consultation Feedback and Findings

4. CONSULTATION FEEDBACK AND FINDINGS

4.1 During the course of the pre-application engagement and consultation process, a range of feedback has been provided by the various consultees. Details of the comments and feedback provided are documented below.

Community Engagement

4.2 As documented in Section 3 of this Statement, the Applicant has held two separate public exhibitions to provide the local community to engage in the application process. This has provided the opportunity to review the emerging development proposals and afforded the local community the chance to shape the future of Harworth South.

4.3 Two public exhibitions were held; the first on the 5th June 2019, and the second on the 6th June 2019. Details of the number of attendees, responses to the comments form, and general comments at each of the exhibitions are provided below:

4.4 Just six feedback forms were received. The responses to the questions contained on the comments form are tabulated below:

Questions Yes No 1. Do you agree with the creation fo new jobs ar 5 1 Harworth Bircotes?

Yes No 2. Do you support the proposed development? 0 6

Yes No 3. Do you consider that the revised proposed 1 5 development has been appropriately designed to take account of its surrounding and wider context?

4. Do you have any comments in relation to the None None received indicative development Masterplan? How do you received think it could be improved?

4.5 Overall, attendance and the level of interest was very low, with just 35 people attending the events over the two days, held at Barnby Memorial Hall in Blyth and at

30214/A5/DM/SS 9 June 2019 Consultation Feedback and Findings

Harworth Town Council hall. Representatives from Harworth and Bawtry Town Councils attended but not Blyth Town Council. Those present cited the following concerns:

• HGV movements – along Blyth Road; • HGV movements – In general around the area (incl Bawtry and Blyth village); • Height of proposed buildings; and • Need for landscape bunding / planting to mitigate to the south of the site.

Of those that attended, we received just six feedback forms in the comments box. Of these six forms the following is noted:

• out of those respondents, 5 supported the creation of new jobs in Harworth; • None supported the project (this is not surprising given that those that filled in the form were the immediate neighbours), although notably one wrote that they didn’t support the scheme, but did consider that the design took appropriate consideration of the site and wider context; and • The main concern cited on the feedback forms was the existing traffic speeds.

Other individual comments included: • A1(M) congested at times • Noise and vibration concerns in Blyth village • Type of jobs need to be broad range • Localised landscape impact concern • Impact / disturbance to dogs in the kennels (Specific resident comment)

30214/A5/DM/SS 10 June 2019 Conclusions and Next Steps

5. CONCLUSIONS AND NEXT STEPS

5.1 This process has ensured that the local community, the Parish Council’s, community groups, Ward Councillors, and other consultee bodies have been kept informed of the proposed development. Given the contribution of the proposed development to the future of Harworth South, the Applicant has recognised from the outset the role of good and effective consultation to encourage participation in the planning process and to listen and take on board the feedback received.

5.2 The Applicant and their consultation team have adopted a proactive approach to consultation throughout, and they remain fully committed to engaging with those same parties up to and post the determination of the Application.

5.3 The Applicant considers that the engagement and consultation strategy which they have adopted during the pre-application process has responded positively to the guidance contained within national and local policy and has sought to capture as many members of the community as possible.

5.4 The Applicant looks forward to continuing to engage with the aforementioned parties as the Application progresses.

APPENDIX 4 PUBLIC EXHIBITION DISPLAY BOARDS

INTRODUCTION

Today’s exhibition provides information Why do we need a new application? on the work that Mulberry Property Planning permission for the Site still exists and can Developments Ltd has been carrying be implemented, however, as explained within this out in order to progress plans to deliver presentation, in order to market the Site to potential an employment business park on land occupiers, it is necessary to make some changes to the way the Site is developed. The planning system allows between Bawtry Road and Blyth Road, to for applications (called S.73 Variation of Condition the south of Harworth (the Site). Applications) to make adjustments to schemes which already have planning permission. The Site, which is shown on the plan below, was granted outline planning permission as an industrial and logistics park in 2017. Mulberry Property Developments Ltd is planning to make a revision to this outline planning approval, by July this year, to further refine how development on the Site will be brought forward.

The following banners provide a summary of the progress made so far, presenting an emerging Illustrative Masterplan and Development Parameters that will help you understand the plans for the Site.

STRATEGIC LOCATION

SITE LOCATION REVISED PARAMETERS

The Section 73 application will be underpinned by a revised ‘Development Parameters Plan’ that will set a broad framework for the future redevelopment of the Site. This approach will provide a suitable level of design flexibility to future design stages. The Parameters Plan is shown below.

DEVELOPMENT PARAMETER PLAN

How have the Parameters Parameter underpinned by changed? ongoing Site Analysis

Minor changes to the previously approved Parameters Mulberry Property Developments Ltd has instructed a Plan are as follows: comprehensive team of built environment consultants, largely comprising members of the technical team • Alterations to the ground levels to create two main that gained outline planning consent at the Site. The plateaus. team has re-assessed the Site to identify opportunities • Removal of the proposed link road, connecting and constraints in relation to Topography, Highways, Bawtry Road and Blyth Road. Landscape, Ecology, Drainage and Flood Risk, Air Quality, Noise, and Cultural Heritage. • Alteration of the proposed development area. • Allowance for a different range of building heights across the Site. REVISED ILLUSTARIVE MASTERPLAN

Mulberry Property Developments has 15 years’ experience in the delivery of commercial property across the wider Midlands. This experience has informed a revised masterplan for the Site. The masterplan is illustrative, and future more detailed design stages may be able to offer alternative approaches provided they follow the parameters (as outlined on the previous banner). The key change necessary to deliver the scheme to market is to enable flexibility in the parameters to deliver a wide range of the building sizes. The Illustrative Layout shows how space can be maximised through the provision of 5 larger units, but could comprise a number of smaller units if the market demanded.

ILLUSTRATIVE MASTRPLAN

Superb access to Yorkshire, the North-East, The Illustrative Masterplan the , Lincolnshire, and the East Coast ports via the A1(M) Mulberry Property Developments Ltd has developed a revised Illustrative Masterplan to demonstrate the ability of the Site to accommodate 5 large, dual-fronted State-of-the-art, large scale warehouse warehouse units with associated service yards. The space on either a leasehold or freehold basis floor space provided by the units is as follows:

• Unit 1: 450,00(ft2) Strategically positioned in an established • Unit 2: 800,00(ft2) industrial location with nearby businesses • Unit 3: 700,00(ft2) • Unit 4: 400,00(ft2) Flexible build-to-suit opportunities ranging from 100,000 sq ft – 1 million sq ft • Unit 5: 100,00(ft2)

The Revised Masterplan has been informed by a more detailed understanding of commercial market requirement and demand. MULBERRY DEVELOPMENTS LTD.
