These authorities, with the support of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire County Councils, have been working together to produce an aligned set of policies and principles on how the city region can develop between 2011 and 2028. 1.1.2 Previously, 5 authorities1 had been working to produce Aligned Core Strategies. However, following the election of the Coalition Government and their decision to abolish Regional Strategies, including the East Midlands Regional Plan, all the authorities re-examined how they will meet their housing requirements and progress their Local Plans. 1.1.3 Broxtowe, Erewash, Gedling and Nottingham City Councils have reviewed the evidence for the area’s objective assessment of housing needs, including full consideration of the Government’s 2008-based Household Projections. As a result of this exercise, the Councils have concluded that the housing provision, as proposed through the Regional Plan, is supported by available evidence, and remains the appropriate level of housing provision to plan for in the plan area. Broxtowe, Gedling and Nottingham City Councils have therefore prepared this new aligned and consistent planning strategy for their part of Greater Nottingham which is referred to throughout this document as the plan area, and is shown on Map 1.1. Although Erewash Borough Council was unable to publish its Core Strategy at the same time as the other Councils and has therefore published a separate Core Strategy, the methodology and outcome of the review of the evidence for the area’s objective assessment of housing needs is shared. 1.1.4 The policy numbering in the Erewash Core Strategy remains the same as for the Aligned Core Strategies apart from Policy 5 which is omitted (as this does not directly relate to Erewash). Minor adjustments to the policies to make them more locally distinctive were made by Erewash for the submission of their Core Strategy, and the Inspector recommended some Main Modifications to the policies during the course of the Examination. However, the policies of the Erewash Core Strategy remain consistent with the Aligned Core Strategies, except for Green Belt where no Green Belt Review is anticipated in Erewash. 1 As only the Hucknall part of Ashfield District Council falls within Greater Nottingham, the Council will be determining the appropriate level and distribution of development for the District and will be producing their own Local Plan in due course and the Aligned Core Strategies does not include Ashfield. 1 1.1.5 Rushcliffe Borough Council is taking a different approach to determining housing figures for their Borough, and as a result they have produced their own Core Strategy. At the same time, all the Councils have continued to work together to ensure that planning policies of the Core Strategies are consistent across Greater Nottingham. Apart from the approach to housing numbers, this partnership working has resulted in a high degree of alignment between the Core Strategies. The following table sets out all the policies of these Aligned Core Strategies and whether they continue to have strong alignment with Rushcliffe’s Core Strategy. Rushcliffe Core Strategy Has this policy been Aligned Core Strategies Corresponding significantly amended policy to be more locally distinctive? Policy 1: Climate Change Policy 1 No Policy 2: The Spatial Strategy Policy 2 Yes Policy 3: The Green Belt Policy 3 No Policy 4: Employment Provision and Policy 4 Yes Economic Development Policy not included in Rushcliffe Core Policy 5: Nottingham City Centre Strategy Policy 6: Role of Town and Local Centres Policy 5 Yes Policy 7: Regeneration Policy 6 Yes Policy 8: Housing Size, Mix and Choice Policy 7 No Policy 9: Gypsies, Travellers and Policy 8 No Travelling Showpeople Policy 10: Design and Enhancing Local Policy 9 No Identity Policy 11: The Historic Environment Policy 10 No Policy 12: Local Services and Healthy Policy 11 No Lifestyles Policy 13: Culture, Tourism and Sport Policy 12 No Policy 14: Managing Travel Demand Policy 13 No Policy 15: Transport Infrastructure Policy 14 No Priorities Policy 16: Green Infrastructure, Parks Policy 15 No and Open Space Policy 17: Biodiversity Policy 16 No Policy 18: Infrastructure Policy 17 No Policy 19: Developer Contributions Policy 18 No 2 1.1.6 As well as issues of strategic importance covering the whole plan area, the three Council areas making up the Aligned Core Strategies each has its own local issues and priorities (see sections 2.7 to 2.9). The policies of the Aligned Core Strategies have therefore been written in such a way as to address the strategic common issues, and provide a sufficiently flexible framework for part 2 Local Plans, in which Broxtowe, Gedling and Nottingham City Councils will outline their locally distinct approaches to the more detailed delivery of the Aligned Core Strategies. 1.1.7 The first public stage in preparing this document was the Issues and Options consultation, which took place in the summer of 2009. This was followed by the Option for Consultation in February 2010 and later consultation in the summer of 2011 on a Housing Provision Position Paper and Policy 1: Climate Change. Responses to these earlier consultations have helped to shape the current version of the Aligned Core Strategies, which sets out how the Councils think their part of Greater Nottingham should develop over the plan period to 2028. 1.1.8 This document consists of three main parts, Section 1 introduces the concept of Aligned Core Strategies, Section 2 looks at the character of the plan area, now and in the future, setting out a ‘vision’ of what the area will look like in 2028 if the strategy in the Aligned Core Strategies is implemented, together with Spatial Objectives that set out the key principles by which this vision will be achieved.
