1.0 NON TECHNICAL SUMMARY

1.1 Introduction

Salisbury District is situated in Wiltshire in the South West of England. A Local Development Framework (LDF) is currently being developed by Salisbury District Council (as the Local Planning Authority for Salisbury District). The LDF will replace the existing Adopted Local Plan in setting out guidelines for the future development of the Salisbury District.

As part of the LDF evidence base Gillespies LLP (supported by Alder King, Savills, White Young Green (WYG), DTZ Pieda Consulting and BDOR Limited) has been commissioned by a partnership of Salisbury District Council, Wiltshire County Council and the South West Regional Development Agency to prepare an Area Development Framework (ADF) for Salisbury City Centre entitled the Salisbury Vision. The ADF is intended to feature prominently within the wider Area Action Plan (AAP) being pursued by Salisbury District Council for the whole of Salisbury as part of its emerging LDF. In this respect, the process necessary in conducting an AAP both through the level of consultation required and integral Sustainability Appraisal (SA) has been followed.

SA is a process through which the sustainability of a plan under preparation is assessed. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004) requires Local Planning Authorities to carry out a Sustainability Appraisal of their LDF documents. This is to compel Local Planning Authorities to work towards achieving sustainable development. SA addresses social, economic and environmental issues in an integrated manner.

Under the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations (2004) it is a requirement that plans (setting out a framework for development and likely to have significant environmental effects) are subject to Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). Local Planning Authorities are also required to carry out SEA of their LDF documents under these regulations.

White Young Green Environmental (WYGE) has been commissioned to undertake a combined SA and SEA of the Salisbury Vision ADF. The combined approach to SA adopted by WYGE is simply referred to as SA throughout this Sustainability Report.

1.2 Development of the Sustainability Appraisal Framework

In August 2006 a SA Framework was developed by WYGE. The development of the SA Framework resulted in the production of a SA Scoping Report, which details the outcomes of the following activities:

• Consultation with key stakeholders via questionnaire; • Review of other plans and programmes of relevance to the Salisbury Vision; • Collation of social, economic and environmental baseline data on Salisbury; • Identification of key sustainability issues; and • Development of SA objectives.

The SA Scoping Report was published for consultation (and sent to statutory and non statutory consultees) in August 2006.

1.3 Sustainability Appraisal of the Salisbury Vision Options

Gillespies LLP produced three potential options for the Salisbury Vision ADF following completion of the scoping stage of the SA and consultation with key stakeholders.

The SA Framework developed at the scoping stage was used to appraise the three options for the Salisbury Vision ADF produced by Gillespies LLP and the ‘Business as Usual’ scenario, which represents maintenance of the status quo.

The SA identified a number of likely social, economic and environmental effects associated with the ‘Business as Usual’ scenario and the three options proposed by Gillespies LLP, both beneficial and adverse.

The ‘Business as Usual’ scenario was considered to offer no opportunities to improve or enhance the Salisbury Vision area and ensures only a basic level of protection.

Option 1 was considered to be similar to Option 0 but offers some opportunities to improve the Salisbury Vision area, depending upon its implementation. Potential benefits include improved access to natural greenspace, which could have associated health and recreational benefits, and improvements and enhancement of the landscape of the Salisbury Vision area. However, Option 1 does not propose any significant development, which may encourage development of greenfield land elsewhere. Similarly, Option 1 does not propose provision of affordable housing or new services and facilities, therefore moves away from SA objectives relating to housing and services provision.

Options 2 and 3 offer significant opportunities to improve and enhance the Salisbury Vision area, including addressing issues of affordable housing, transport, provision of green space and improvement to landscape/ecology/rivers in the Salisbury Vision area. But again the outcome will depend upon its implementation. Negative aspects of Options 2 and 3 include potential adverse impacts of development on landscape, biodiversity and geodiversity, and flooding in the Salisbury Vision area.

The findings of the options appraisal were provided to the project team. In addition, the options appraisal was sent to statutory and non statutory consultees.

1.4 Development of the Preferred Option

Following the development of three potential options for the Salisbury Vision ADF a public exhibition was held to determine which was the most preferable. A further workshop was then undertaken in October 2006. The main purpose of the workshop was to use the findings of the public exhibition to aid Gillespies LLP in the development of the preferred option and inform the preparation of the ADF.

1.5 Sustainability Appraisal of the Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework

The SA Framework was used to appraise two options; implementation of the Salisbury Vision ADF as set out by Gillespies LLP and the ‘Business as Usual’ scenario.

The SA identified a number of likely social, economic and environmental effects associated with implementation of the Salisbury Vision ADF. Effects were identified as being of a beneficial, adverse or unknown nature.

Potential beneficial effects of the Salisbury Vision ADF (not an exhaustive list) include:

• Provision of decent, accessible and affordable housing at a number of key sites, which will ensure housing needs are met; • Improvements to the existing public transport network within the Salisbury Vision area, including new services and the development of a new Station Interchange at Salisbury Railway Station; • Implementation of a traffic management strategy intended to re-route circulating traffic around Salisbury City Centre and rationalisation of car parking throughout, which will make the City Centre more pedestrian/cyclist orientated; • Improvements and enhancements to existing natural green space and open space, and provision of new natural green space and open space within the Salisbury Vision area, which will have biodiversity, recreation and health benefits; • Provision of new medical facilities, including key worker housing; • Development of a new Salisbury College within the City Centre, comprising of new quality learning centre and facilities;

• Maximising the use of brownfield land, including the re-use of existing buildings and the use of recycled materials where appropriate; • Provision of additional services and facilities, including retail, cultural uses and office development, which will create new employment opportunities and contribute towards economic development; and • Development of buildings with high standards of environmental design and material specification, which should achieve EcoHomes/BREEAM ratings of at least ‘Very Good’.

Potential adverse effects of the Salisbury Vision ADF (not an exhaustive list) include:

• Potential loss of existing residential homes, resulting in the relocation of existing residents elsewhere. However the ADF acknowledges that there will be a need to find appropriate permanent or temporary relocations for tenants from the Friary to other parts of the City Centre or elsewhere and states that a detailed management plan will be required to address housing issues associated with the development (phasing, decanting, relocation); • Potential for new car parking provision to encourage private vehicle use. However, the ADF states that parking provision should be adequate to meet the needs of the residents and that car parking provision of less than 1 space per unit should be provided where good quality alternatives are integrated and where there is good access to public transport; • Potential for impacts upon biodiversity, in particular disruption of protected species which may be present within the Salisbury Vision area. However, the ADF states that biodiversity and geodiversity will be a key consideration and ecological advice will be sought to determine the ecological potential of the sites and mitigation measures where appropriate. The ADF further states that development on designated sites should, where possible, be avoided, the ADF will also aim to create new/enhance existing habitats. Additional mitigation measures/actions have also been suggested in relation to the SSSI and SAC; • Potential for new development to affect surface water run-off rates and impact upon the floodplain. However, the ADF recognises the need to carefully consider development in the floodplain and the potential impacts of development upon surface water run-off and flood risk (including current and future impacts associated with climate change). The ADF further recognises the need to carefully consider the effect that transforming the watermeadows may have on flood risk; • Potential for development to result in pollution to surface waters and groundwater; • Potential for contaminated land at a number of sites, which could have an indirect impact upon health and biodiversity should contamination be disturbed; • Relocation of existing businesses from a number of key sites within the Salisbury Vision area, including Churchfields Industrial Estate and the Eastern Gateway. However, the Salisbury Vision ADF recognises the need to ensure existing businesses at Churchfields are retained within Salisbury District; and • Potential for impacts upon cultural heritage and archaeology within the Salisbury Vision area, including sites of archaeological importance, Listed Buildings and the Conservation Area. However, the ADF states that development should be considered in relation to views, vistas and landmarks and should be of high quality sustainable design that reflects its surroundings.

Mitigation measures to maximise beneficial effects and to minimise adverse effects of the Salisbury Vision ADF have been developed. These should be incorporated into the development of the Salisbury Vision ADF by Gillespies LLP. The Salisbury Vision ADF presents significant opportunities to make use of best practice sustainable design and construction techniques. This includes maximising the use of brownfield land, the use of recycled materials in construction, the use of energy efficient lighting and heating systems, the use of Sustainable Drainage Systems and provision of facilities for household recycling and composting.

In addition, the Salisbury Vision ADF presents a significant opportunity to encourage use of more sustainable modes of transport through the provision of frequent, accessible and reliable public transport services, and through the development of an integrated network of footpaths and cycle ways within the Salisbury Vision area. The ADF also presents a number of opportunities to maintain and enhance existing green space and open space in the Salisbury Vision area, which will have biodiversity and health benefits.

It should be noted that under Regulation 48 of the Conservation (Natural Habitats &c) (Amendment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2006 (Habitats Regulations) Appropriate Assessment (AA) will be required for any development that may have an adverse effect upon the integrity of the River Avon Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Harnham Watermeadows SAC. It is therefore strongly recommended that consultation is undertaken with Natural England and other relevant consultees as soon as possible to determine the potential need for AA.

A set of targets and indicators have been developed. These should be used to monitor performance of the Salisbury Vision ADF against the SA objectives.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

As part of the LDF evidence base Gillespies LLP supported by Alder King, Savills, White Young Green (WYG), DTZ Pieda Consulting and BDOR Limited have been commissioned by a partnership of Salisbury District Council, Wiltshire County Council and the South West Regional Development Agency to prepare an Area Development Framework (ADF) for Salisbury City Centre entitled the Salisbury Vision. The ADF is intended to feature prominently within the wider Area Action Plan (AAP) being pursued by Salisbury District Council for the whole of Salisbury as part of its emerging LDF. In this respect, the process necessary in conducting an AAP both through the level of consultation required and integral SA has been followed.

Sustainability Appraisal (SA) is a process through which the sustainability of a plan under preparation is assessed. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004) requires Local Planning Authorities to carry out a Sustainability Appraisal of their LDF documents. This is to compel Local Planning Authorities to work towards achieving sustainable development. SA addresses social, economic and environmental issues in an integrated manner.

The SA process undertaken has resulted in the production of this Sustainability Report. The purpose of this Sustainability Report is to present the findings of the SA process in a manner that can be used for stakeholder and public consultation.

This Sustainability Report has the following format:

Chapter 1 Non Technical Summary The non technical summary provided at the start of the Sustainability Report offers a non technical overview of the SA process and its findings.

Report conditions are set out in Appendix A.

3.0 SUSTAINABILITY APPRAISAL PROCESS

3.1 Requirement for Sustainability Appraisal

Sustainability Appraisal (SA) is a process through which the sustainability of a plan under preparation is assessed. SA is described by Office of the Deputy Prime Minister1 (ODPM) (2004) guidance as:

“An iterative process that identifies and reports on the likely significant effects of the plan and the extent to which implementation of the plan will achieve the social, environmental and economic objectives by which sustainable development can be defined.”

Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004) Local Planning Authorities are required to undertake a SA of their Local Development Framework (LDF) documents.

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a requirement of the EU Directive 2001/42 on the Assessment of Certain Plans and Programmes on the Environment more commonly known as the SEA Directive. The objective of the SEA Directive as stated in Article 1 is:

“…to provide for a high level of protection of the environment and to contribute to the integration of environmental considerations into the preparation and adoption of plans … with a view to promoting sustainable development....”

The SEA Directive was brought into effect in the United Kingdom (UK) on 21 July 2004 through the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations. Local Planning Authorities are required to carry out an environmental assessment of their LDF under these regulations.

The Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework (ADF) is intended to feature prominently within the wider Area Action Plan (AAP) being pursued by Salisbury District Council for the whole of Salisbury as part of its emerging LDF. In this respect, the process necessary in conducting an AAP, both through the level of consultation required and integral SA, has been followed in preparing the Salisbury Vision ADF.

Although the statutory requirements for carrying out SA and SEA are distinct it is possible to satisfy both through a single but integrated SA process. Such a joint approach is advocated in ODPM guidance. The combined SA process will identify key social, economic and environmental issues associated with Salisbury and how adoption of the Salisbury Vision ADF will influence them. It will help to ensure that the significant adverse effects arising from the Salisbury Vision ADF are either avoided or mitigated against. The process will also identify requirements (or indicators) for monitoring the implementation of the Salisbury Vision ADF following its adoption. Monitoring will identify any unforeseen impacts and inform the next revision or replacement.

3.2 Sustainability Appraisal Regulations and Guidance

The SA process undertaken by White Young Green Environmental (WYGE) has been developed in accordance with the following regulations and guidance:

• Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. • Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004. • ODPM (2005i) A Practical Guide to the Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive: Practical Guidance on applying European Directive 2001/42/EC on the Assessment of the Effects of Certain Plans and Programmes on the Environment. • ODPM (2005ii) Sustainability Appraisal of Regional Spatial Strategies and Local Development Frameworks: Guidance for Regional Planning Bodies and Local Planning Authorities.

1 ODPM is now the Department for the Communities and Local Government

• English Nature, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Countryside Agency and Environment Agency (2004) Strategic Environmental Assessment and Biodiversity: Guidance for Practitioners. • EC (2001) Strategic Environmental Assessment and Integration of the Environment into Strategic Decision Making. • Environment Agency (2004) Environmental Assessment of External Plans and Programmes.

3.3 Sustainability Appraisal Stages

The SA process involves the following steps, split according to the ODPM (2005ii) guidance stages:

STAGE A Setting the context and objectives, establishing the baseline and deciding on the scope

• Identifying other plans and programmes and sustainability objectives of relevance to the Salisbury Vision ADF. • Collating baseline data and identifying gaps in the current baseline. • Identifying baseline conditions and key sustainability issues and problems on the basis of the baseline data collated. • Developing the SA Framework. • Consulting on the scope of the SA through production of a Scoping Report.

STAGE B Developing and refining options and assessing effects

• Testing the Salisbury Vision ADF objectives against the SA objectives. • Developing the Salisbury Vision ADF development options. • Predicting and assessing the significant effects of the Salisbury Vision ADF development options. • Developing ways of mitigating adverse effects and maximising beneficial effects. • Developing recommendations for future monitoring requirements or indicators.

STAGE C Preparing the Sustainability Report

Subsequent to the publication of this Sustainability Report the following stages of the SA process will need to be undertaken by Salisbury District Council:

STAGE D Consulting on the Salisbury Vision ADF and the Sustainability Report

• Consulting on the Sustainability Report alongside the Salisbury Vision ADF. • Appraising any significant changes to the Salisbury Vision ADF. • Providing information on how the SA and consultation responses were taken into account in preparing the Salisbury Vision ADF.

STAGE E Monitoring implementation of the plan

• Monitoring significant effects of the Salisbury Vision ADF once adopted. • Responding to any adverse effects arising from the Salisbury Vision ADF following adoption.

3.4 Stage A - Scoping Stage

3.4.1 Links with Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report

Stage A of the SA (scoping) has already been undertaken and a SA Scoping Report was produced in August 2006. The Scoping Report details the outcomes of scoping including the

development of the SA Framework to be used in appraising the Salisbury Vision ADF.

3.4.2 Consultation

Consultation Questionnaire

The following statutory and non statutory consultees were contacted during June 2006 as part of the initial round of consultation:

• Countryside Agency • English Nature2 • English Heritage • Environment Agency • Salisbury District Council • South Wiltshire Strategic Alliance • Wiltshire County Council • South West Regional Development Agency • Government Office for the South West

Stakeholders were issued with a letter outlining the background of the Salisbury Vision ADF and asked to complete a consultation questionnaire. A copy of the letter and questionnaire is included in Appendix B of the SA Scoping Report. The purpose of the consultation questionnaire was to:

• Determine what interests consultees had in the Salisbury Vision ADF area; • Identify environmental, social and economic issues that may need to be considered during the SA process; • Identify baseline information which consultees held in relation to the Salisbury Vision ADF area; • Determine whether the list of plans and programmes to be reviewed as part of the SA process was comprehensive; and • Obtain feedback and suggestions on the objectives to be used in the SA process.

Consultation Drop-In Event

Individuals and organisations who were interested in the Salisbury Vision ADF were invited to attend a drop-in event in May 2006, as part of the wider Salisbury Vision ADF consultation. The event was held at the Red Lion Hotel in Salisbury City Centre on the 26th and 27th May 2006.

The outcomes of the drop-in event are detailed in Appendix C of the SA Scoping Report. These outcomes helped to inform the identification of key sustainability issues and in the development of objectives, targets and indicators.

3.4.3 Links to Relevant Plans and Programmes

It is a requirement of the SEA Directive that an analysis of the plan’s “…relationship with other relevant plans and programmes…” (Annex 1a of the SEA Directive) and of “…the environmental protection objectives…which are relevant to the plan or programme and the way those objectives and any environmental considerations have been taken into account during its preparation…” (Annex 1e of the SEA Directive) is undertaken.

During the scoping stage a number of existing plans were identified and reviewed in order to determine any links with the Salisbury Vision ADF. The SA Scoping Report provides further details of the review process including a list of the plans and programmes reviewed.

Key aims and objectives (including sustainability objectives) of each plan were identified and the implications of the plan for the Salisbury Vision ADF identified. In addition to determining links

2 The Countryside Agency and English Nature have joined to become Natural England (An amalgamation of the Countryside Agency, English Nature and the Rural Development Service).

with the Salisbury Vision ADF the review process provided baseline information, helped to identify key sustainability issues and informed the development of the SA objectives.

The review of plans and programmes is provided in Section 4 of the SA Scoping Report.

3.4.4 Baseline and Key Issues

During the scoping stage baseline data was collated and reviewed in order to establish the baseline conditions and to help identify key sustainability issues. The baseline conditions provide the basis against which significant effects of the Salisbury Vision ADF can be predicted and assessed. Detailed baseline data is presented in the SA Scoping Report. Section 5.0 of this Sustainability Report summarises the baseline and key sustainability issues for the Salisbury Vision ADF. Section 5.0 also incorporates any changes following comments raised during consultation on the SA Scoping Report.

3.4.5 Sustainability Appraisal Objectives

At the end of the scoping stage SA objectives were developed. These provide a basis against which to appraise the Salisbury Vision ADF.

The Salisbury District Council Draft LDF SA Scoping Report produced by Salisbury District Council sets out how sustainable development should be achieved in Salisbury District. It sets out 23 objectives covering social, economic and environmental issues. The Salisbury District Council LDF SA objectives were used as a starting point for the development of Salisbury Vision specific objectives. In addition, consultees were asked for feedback on the relevance of the Draft LDF SA objectives and for suggestions as to any further objectives which should be included. The resulting comments from consultees and the review of plans and programmes were used to inform the development of Salisbury Vision specific objectives. The derivation of objectives is shown in Appendix F of the SA Scoping Report.

Following consultation on the SA Scoping Report the SA objectives were amended. Scoping consultation comments are given in Appendix B.

The SA objectives used to appraise the Salisbury Vision ADF are listed in Table 3.1. These objectives integrate social, economic and environmental considerations. The Salisbury Vision should aim to fulfil the objectives as this will allow it to be consistent with environmental regulations and high level sustainable development policies. However, there may be some objectives upon which the Salisbury Vision ADF will have limited impact or which are in conflict with one another.

3.5 Stages B and C

This Sustainability Report details the findings of Stages B and C of the SA process for the Salisbury Vision ADF. The SA of the Salisbury Vision ADF has been undertaken in relation to the SA Framework developed during Stage A as detailed above. Further details of the appraisal methodology adopted are provided in Section 8.2.

4.0 BACKGROUND

4.1 Salisbury Vision Area

Salisbury is located in Wiltshire in the South West of England. The area covered by the Salisbury Vision ADF is shown in Figure 1. The Salisbury Vision area covers much of the central area of Salisbury, including Salisbury Cathedral and Salisbury Watermeadows.

The northern and eastern boundaries of the Salisbury Vision area are formed by Churchill Way West, Churchill Way East and the Southampton Road Gateway. Salisbury Railway Station is situated adjacent to Churchfields Industrial Estate and the railway line runs parallel to Wilton Road, Churchill Way West and Central Car Park and Maltings. The River Avon runs through the centre of the Salisbury Vision area and links to the River Nadder along the southern boundary adjacent to Churchfields Industrial Estate and Salisbury Watermeadows.

The Salisbury Vision ADF identifies four key sites within the Salisbury Vision area:

Churchfields Industrial Estate - 33 hectares located approximately 1km west of the centre of Salisbury. The site is bound to the north by Churchfields Road and to the east, south and west by the River Nadder. The area west of the site is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC) known as the River Avon System. The site comprises the following current uses: garages, workshops, depots, warehouses, factories, unspecified works and an abattoir. The southern part of the site was a former landfill site and is now an area of open space. In total, the site is currently home to 165 companies employing around 4,500 people.

Southampton Road Gateway - Located to the east of Salisbury City Centre and incorporates the A36 Southampton Road approach and associated land uses. The site is bound to the north by Fowlers Hill, Milford Industrial Estate and the railway line, to the east by Peters Finger Road, to the south by the River Avon SAC and to the west by Churchill Way East. The site comprises the Winston Churchill Gardens, Milford Industrial Estate, Salisbury College, a sewage works and housing. The area south of the site is a SSSI known as East Harnham Meadows. The A36 is a very busy route into Salisbury and a popular through route to Bristol and Bath.

Central Car Park and Maltings - 5.7 hectares located north of Fisherton Street taking in the existing ground level car park owned by Salisbury District Council, the two level decked parking area and Sainsbury’s supermarket, and small retail units including Priory Square and the former C&A building (currently in use as a bargain store), which forms a link with Fisherton Street. In addition it includes the play area immediately north of the Maltings together with the whole of the central channel of the River Avon and Summerlock Stream and the river banks. The site is bound to the north east by the River Avon and Castle Street, to the south by Fisherton Street and to the north west by a railway line.

Guildhall and Market Place - Located within Salisbury City Centre, this site is the most significant public space outside the Cathedral Close. The site is bound to the north by Blue Boar Row, to the east by Queen Street, to the south by New Canal and to the west by Minster Street and Cheese Market. The Market Place is a central focus both for trading, special events and as a meeting place. It holds two charters markets a week and is increasingly used for farmers markets, French Street markets and an annual fair. When not in use as a market or for special events half the site is used for car parking.

The eighteenth century Guildhall is an important Grade II* Listed Building within Salisbury. The building is used for a variety of uses and functions, albeit mainly civic.

4.2 Salisbury District Local Development Framework

Fundamental changes to the planning system have been introduced through the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004) which requires Local Planning Authorities to adopt a LDF in place of their existing Local Plan. The LDF will eventually replace the existing Salisbury District Council Local Plan (adopted in June 2003) as the plan for setting out guidelines for the development of Salisbury District. In the transitional period the Local Plan will retain development

plan status and be saved until the policies within it are superseded by the adoption of LDF documents.

Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 12 sets out the new LDF process. It requires Local Planning Authorities to adopt a spatial planning approach. The LDF will not be restricted solely to land use issues such as identifying where new houses, employment, retail and leisure facilities should be built. It will go beyond traditional land use planning by integrating policies for the development of land with policies that influence the nature of places and how they function.

The LDF will comprise a portfolio of documents including:

• Local Development Documents (LDDs) comprising statutory Development Plan Documents (DPDs), including specific AAPs, and non statutory Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs); • The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI), which specifies how stakeholders and communities are involved: • A Local Development Scheme setting out details of each of the LDDs including timescales and arrangements for production: • An Annual Monitoring Report setting out progress in terms of producing documents and in implementing policies: and • The Core Strategy, which sets out a vision for the district that reflects the views of Salisbury District Council and the community, and which signposts the primary policies for meeting that vision.

4.3 Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework

4.3.1 Development of the Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework

In September 2004 it was agreed by the Cabinet of Salisbury District Council that a more strategic long term and objective view of Salisbury City Centre was required. This view should not only concentrate on how Salisbury will look and work, but also how social, environmental and economic needs will be enhanced for the good of the whole District and sub-regions served by it. On the 15th December 2004 the Cabinet approved the development of a Vision for Salisbury as a key project for 2005. An outline timetable and brief were consequently prepared in July 2005 for the development of the Salisbury Vision ADF.

4.3.2 Aims and Objectives

Gillespies LLP have developed a vision and objectives for the Salisbury Vision ADF.

The Vision for Salisbury is focused on sustainability and how this relates to the social, economic and environmental agenda. The preservation and exploitation of the social, economic and environmental assets of Salisbury are seen as instrumental in constructing a long term aspiration for Salisbury that will ensure its enjoyment for generations to come. Once adopted, the Salisbury Vision ADF will provide a framework for coordinating and achieving the sustainable regeneration of the Salisbury Vision area.

In order to achieve the Vision the following objectives have been set for the Salisbury Vision ADF area:

Diversity: • Encourage development that has a genuine mix of uses, including residential, civic, educational and cultural activities; • Create a place where people want and are able to live, work, shop and enjoy themselves; • Extend the visitor experience in a way that complements the needs of tourists, residents and businesses; • Extend the life of the city in terms of time: creating a vibrant evening and weekend economy and extending the visitor season; • Maximise the use of public spaces through more and diverse activity;

4.3.3 Contents of the Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework

The Salisbury Vision ADF Report first sets the background to the Salisbury Vision ADF process, explains the key drivers for change identified from the baseline analysis and review, and sets out a Vision for Salisbury City Centre. This includes the identification of a set of Vision objectives constituting a series of requirements and aspirations to achieve a sustainable long term Vision for Salisbury City Centre.

The report then sets out a framework that considers the four key sites and the wider City Centre. The framework begins with an acknowledgement of the general principles considered essential in successful place making supported by a set of more specific design principles focused on Salisbury City Centre which should underpin key projects and proposals identified as part of the Salisbury Vision ADF. The Salisbury Vision ADF then sets out general design guidance for the Salisbury Vision area. This guidance is intended to sit alongside guidance identified in the design guide ‘Creating Places’ produced by Salisbury District Council, which covers the whole of the Salisbury District.

Drawn from these elements are three principle strategies within which there are 24 well defined projects. Each project contains a vision, rationale, and a policy statement. A key delivery strategy is also identified for each project, setting out key actions,, timescales funding, priorities and lead agencies. An outline of each strategy and its associated projects are detailed in the following subsection (Section 4.3.4).

The remaining sections of the Salisbury Vision ADF report provide a summary of the SA and consultation process undertaken to date in support of the Salisbury Vision ADF and the next steps necessary in taking forward the Salisbury Vision ADF Framework.

4.3.4 Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework Strategies and Projects

Transport and Movement Strategy

The Salisbury Vision ADF transport and movement strategy is aimed towards developing a sustainable transport system that encourages modes of transport other than the private car, redressing the balance of core streets towards pedestrians, and encouraging new linkages between key destinations.

The strategy identifies five key projects:

Project 1: Traffic Management and Linkages A traffic management strategy intended to create a safe and pleasant environment in Salisbury City. Includes the development of a hierarchy of routes within the Salisbury Vision area that restricts traffic movement, improvements to the streetscape to create an environment which gives priority to pedestrians, the provision of designated coach drop off/pick up points to the north and south of the City Centre, the creation of a Heavy Good Vehicle (HGV) depot outside Salisbury City Centre, and the upgrade/provision of separate cycle routes along all major thoroughfares.

Project 2: Public Transport The provision of a series of public transport stops next to key locations within Salisbury City Centre, the provision of bus lanes along the A36 Southampton Road, the extension of bus and Park and Ride services to Churchfields, improvements to the rail station as a public transport interchange, provision of a new public transport stop on the eastern side of Salisbury and the

provision of a west to east public transport link from Churchfields passing key destinations within Salisbury City Centre.

Project 3: Station Interchange The provision of a station interchange at the railway station, including increased parking spaces to meet the demand from rail passengers, the creation of a space for bus stops within the station forecourt, the potential provision of cycle and taxi ranks within the Station forecourt, the creation of a new station square, and extensions/diversions of bus services to the station.

Project 4: Southampton Road Gateway Transport and design improvements to Southampton Road Gateway. Includes improvements to the A36 Southampton Road, the utilisation of the Southampton Road car park for long stay parking, the completion and implementation of the Petersfinger Park and Ride, rationalisation of access points, decluttering of public realm/inclusion of high quality elements of public realm, and improvements to the local bus frequency for local commuters.

Project 5: Parking Management A car parking management strategy intended to improve the circulation of traffic within Salisbury City Centre. Includes the removal of on street parking from the city centre and the allocation of spaces for the disabled and cyclists, provision of tourist coach parking and layover at Park and Ride sites, the design and implementation of a signage and car park management system, a reduction in the number of spaces at private car parks, provision of new car parking arrangements at the Station Interchange (Project 3) and development of new sources of income to address the loss of parking revenue.

Development Strategy

The Salisbury Vision ADF development strategy is aimed towards providing new destinations within Salisbury City Centre, a mix of uses, contemporary development and creation of attractions that will raise the profile of Salisbury.

The strategy identifies 11 key projects:

Project 6: Central Car Park and Maltings Redevelopment of the Central Car Park and Maltings with a mix of new uses with associated car parking anchored by a new food superstore. This may include new open space to act as a public square adjacent to the Salisbury Playhouse and City Hall. This is a retail led mixed use development with other uses to include residential, leisure, offices, a library and car parking.

Project 7: The Guildhall The refurbishment and re-use of whole or part of the Guildhall following the vacancy created by the move of the Magistrates Court to new premises outside of Salisbury City Centre. New land uses could include civic and/or commercial town centre uses.

Project 8 and 9: Salt Lane and Brown Street Redevelopment of both Salt Lane and Brown Street surface level pay and display car parks for high quality city centre development. This is a residential led scheme that could include live/work or small retail units.

Project 10: Salisbury Bus Station Redevelopment of the bus station as a high quality city centre development. This is a residential led proposal with other associated commercial uses such as A3 retail.

Project 11: Bus Depot Redevelopment of the combined sites of the Toyota Garage and Wilts and Dorset Bus Depot into a new Salisbury College. New land uses could include educational non-residential institution and supporting accommodation.

Project 12: Old Manor Hospital Redevelopment of the Old Manor Hospital site in accordance with the principles established in the existing Development Brief. New land uses should include medical facilities, key worker housing and offices (B1),

Project 13: Chipper Lane/Scots Lane Redevelopment of the Chipper Lane/Scots Lane block through a combination of refurbishment and new build to include the former Post Office, the BT exchange and the Bingo building. This is a residential led development with other uses to include leisure and a hotel.

Project 14: Churchfields Redevelopment of Churchfields Industrial Estate into a new mixed use quarter in close proximity to the Railway Station. This is a residential led development with other uses to include offices, hotel/conference centre and neighbourhood facilities.

Project 15: Eastern Gateway Redevelopment and creation of a major new mixed use quarter at the Eastern Gateway. This is a residential led development with other uses to include offices, community and local retail, retail/bulk goods (plus existing uses including Tesco food superstore). The redevelopment is based on the relocation of Salisbury College to Salisbury City Centre (Project 11).

Project 16: The Friary Redevelopment of the existing council estate to allow for a high quality, mixed tenure replacement residential scheme, intended to contribute towards the achievement of targets for affordable housing in Salisbury District.

Public Realm Strategy

The Salisbury Vision ADF public realm strategy is aimed towards improving the quality of existing spaces, providing new urban squares and parks and focusing on the provision of high quality public realm treatment along connections between key activity nodes.

The strategy identifies eight key projects:

Project 17: The Market Place Creation of a high quality focal space within the Market Place and Cheese Market, including street furniture, planting, lighting, signage and public art. This will include rationalisation of parking to meet just the needs of essential users and changes in surface treatment, planting and highway design to make the space more pedestrian orientated.

Project 18: Fisherton Square Improvement of the existing setting along Fisherton Street and demolition of a part of Fisherton Street to open up a visual link to create a major new square. This will include street furniture, planting, lighting, signage and public art and changes in surface treatment, planting and highway design to make the space more pedestrian orientated.

Project 19: Salisbury Chequers High quality public realm treatment within the streets at the central core of Salisbury City Centre to coincide with those tertiary routes identified in Project 1. This will include street furniture, planting, lighting, signage, public art and changes in surface treatment, planting and highway design to make the streets more pedestrian orientated, and the rationalisation of car parking.

Project 20: Harnham Eco Park Development of a major new eco-park at the watermeadows, comprising new facilities, learning opportunities and new access points from Town Path and Churchfields. This could include raised boardwalks, bird hides and viewing platforms for people to use as part of the learning experience, a learning/education/information centre, which could include A3 uses, and a small urban farm.

This will include a kiosk or refreshment area, children’s play equipment, high quality contemporary public realm elements, interconnected pathways and sound and visual attenuation at the boundary with the Ring Road.

5.0 BASELINE AND KEY ISSUES

5.1 Introduction

The Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive requires the “…current state of the environment…” (Annex 1b of the SEA Directive) and the “environmental characteristics of areas likely to be significantly affected…” (Annex 1c of the SEA Directive) to be identified. This chapter provides a broad overview of the social, economic and environmental features of the Salisbury Vision area. The study area includes the area to be covered by the Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework (ADF) plus surrounding areas which have environmental, social and economic links with the Salisbury Vision area. Figure 1 shows the location in relation to Salisbury District and a more detailed plan of the Salisbury Vision area and key sites.

The Salisbury Vision area falls within the boundary of Salisbury District and comprises Middle Layer Super Output Area (SOA) Salisbury 010, 011, 013 and 01; and Lower Layer SOA Salisbury 010C, 013C, 011A, 014D, 011C, 011D, 010D and 010B, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

SOAs are small areas specifically introduced to improve the reporting and comparison of local statistics. Within England and Wales there is a Lower Layer (minimum population 1,000) and a Middle Later (minimum population 5,000). SOAs are of consistent size across the country. Where data is available at SOA level it has been collected based upon these locations. For some parameters it has been necessary to use baseline information for larger areas (e.g. Salisbury as a whole), as SOA data is not always available.

The following social, economic and environmental parameters have been considered:

Socio-Economic:

• Population; • Quality of Life; • Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour; • Economy and Employment; • Education; • Health; • Tourism and Recreation; and • Traffic and Transport.

Environmental:

• Air Quality; • Biodiversity, Flora and Fauna; • Climate Change; • Cultural Heritage and Archaeology; • Geology; • Waste; • Landscape and Visual Amenity; • Noise; • Water Environment; and • Urban Design.

Key sustainability issues have been identified at the end of each section.

The complete set of baseline data for the Salisbury Vision area (including GIS maps) is presented in the SA Scoping Report. This version has been revised to take into account consultation responses from the SA Scoping Report, which can be seen in full in Appendix B.

5.2 Socio-Economic Baseline

5.2.1 Introduction

This section sets out the existing situation in the Salisbury Vision area with regards to population, quality of life, crime and anti-social behaviour, economy, employment, education, health, tourism, recreation, and traffic and transport. The baseline has been established with reference to:

• Gillespies Salisbury Vision Baseline Report (2006) • National Statistics website (www.statistics.gov.uk) • NOMIS Official Labour Statistics (www.nomisweb.co.uk) • Salisbury District Council website (www.salisbury.gov.uk) • Audit of Crime and Anti-social behaviour and Drug Misuse in Wiltshire and Swindon (2004) • DCLG Best Value Performance Indicators (www.bvpi.gov.uk) • Floor Targets Interactive website (www.fti.neighbourhood.gov.uk) • Salisbury City Community Plan • Salisbury Vision Consultation Drop-In Event (2006) • South Wiltshire Community Safety Strategy • Wiltshire and Swindon Intelligence Network website (www.intelligencenetwork.org.uk) • Salisbury Economic Development Strategy • Salisbury and South Wiltshire Economic Development Strategy • Salisbury District Council Adopted Local Plan • The Office for Standards in Education website (www.ofsted.gov.uk) • Community Strategy for Salisbury and South Wiltshire • Land Register Online (www.landreg.gov.uk) • Salisbury District Council Homelessness Strategy • Salisbury District Council Housing Needs Survey (2001) • Salisbury District Council Private Sector Housing Renewal Strategy (2003-2004) • Salisbury Destination Benchmarking Visitor Survey (2004) • Strategy for Sport and Recreation in Salisbury and South Wiltshire 2002-2006 • Visit Salisbury Stonehenge Visitos Guide website (www.visitsalisbury.com) • Cycling Strategy for Salisbury and Wilton • Salisbury District Council Local Transport Plan • Salisbury District Council Parking Strategy • South West Observatory website (www.swo.org.uk) • Wiltshire and Dorset Bus Company (www.wdbus.co.uk) • Wiltshire County Council Local Transport Plan 2 • English Nature (2004) State of Nature: Lowlands – Future Landscapes for Wildlife • South Wiltshire Strategic Alliance (2006) Social Inclusion Strategy for South Wiltshire – Draft Consultation Document • The Wiltshire Strategic Board (2004) ‘Staying Safe, Feeling Safe’, a Strategy for Reducing Crime and Combating Drug Misuse in Wiltshire (2005-2008) • Salisbury District Council Tourism Strategy for South Wiltshire

5.2.2 Population

In 2004 the population of Salisbury District totalled 116,100 people. Since 2000 Salisbury District’s population has increased steadily, shifting from 113,800 in 2000 to 116,100 in 2004. These figures are in line with the South West but strongly over perform England. The population density of Salisbury District however is lower than the national average; in 2001 there were 1.14 people per hectare, in comparison with 3.77 people in England.

The population of Salisbury District could be considered elderly when compared to national averages. The percentage of the population of Salisbury District aged 45-64 years old was 24.68% in 2001, in comparison to 23.75% in England. Similarly, the percentage of people aged 65 and over in Salisbury District was 18.1% in 2001, compared with 15.89% in England. In contrast, the percentage of the population aged 0-4 years, 5-15 years and 16-19 years in

Salisbury District was lower than in both Wiltshire and England. This raises concerns about outward migration of young people from Salisbury District.

Population projections indicate continued population growth ahead of national rates. Salisbury District’s total population is forecast to increase by 13.3% in the next 20 years. This compares with a 9.5% increase in England and an 8.2% increase in the United Kingdom over the same time period. However, Salisbury District is characterised by an ageing population, and it is predicted that the population structure will continue to become older, with a lower proportion of the total population of working age. This change in age structure is expected to lead to significant changes in the working age ratio.

5.2.3 Quality of Life

The Department of the Communities and Local Government (DCLG) produce Indices of Deprivation to identify areas of social and economic deprivation in England. The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) incorporates various measures of deprivation including income, employment, health, education, barriers to housing, living environment and crime. The lower the rank/percentile the more deprived the area is.

Salisbury District was ranked 264 out of 354 Local Authorities nationally (74th percentile) in the IMD in 2004, which indicates that Salisbury District is in the top third of the least deprived areas in the country for overall deprivation. Salisbury District is also significantly less deprived than the surrounding area of Wiltshire County; ranked 139 out of 354 (39th percentile) in 2004. This means that Salisbury District has few pockets of deprivation. At a lower level, in 2004 7 out of the 10 Lower Layer SOA in the Salisbury Vision area were ranked above the 39th percentile. Lower Layer SOA 014D however, was ranked 5,904 out of 32482 (18th percentile), which is significantly more deprived than the surrounding local area.

5.2.4 Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour

Crime in Salisbury District is significantly below the national average; the overall crime rate in 2004 was 32.6 per 1,000 population compared to a national average of 64.0 per 1,000 population. However, the overall crime rate in Salisbury District has been reducing at a slower rate than the national overall crime rate.

While specific crime data is not available at the SOA level, the Indices of Deprivation for Crime is recorded at the SOA level. This indicator is based on burglary, theft, criminal damage and violence levels, and can be used to determine whether these types of crime are a problem. The 2004 results show that six of the Lower Layer SOAs in the Salisbury Vision area are ranked above the 51st percentile. However, two of the Lower Layer SOAs are placed below the 26th percentile, indicating that crime is a problem in these areas; specifically SOA 14D, which is ranked 5,398 out of 32,482 placing it in the 16th percentile.

Public surveys suggest that many people in Salisbury District have a disproportionately high fear of crime. In the Wiltshire ‘Peoples Voice’ Survey (2004) adults rated burglary and supplying hard drugs as the two crimes that people saw as the top priorities to tackle, and vandalism and drink related disorder as the most damaging types of anti-social behaviour. According to the Peoples Voice 20% of adults and 38% of 11 to 18 year olds felt unsafe or very unsafe in their home area after dark.

5.2.5 Economy and Employment

The economic activity rate in Salisbury District is significantly above the national average; the economic activity rate in 2005 was 88 compared to 83.8 in Wiltshire and 78.7 in England.

The industry sectors employing the largest proportions of residents in Salisbury District in 2005 were public administration, education and health (34.6%), banking, finance and insurance (18.6%), distribution, hotels and restaurants (14.7%) and manufacturing (9.8%).

The employment rate (% of the working age population) in Salisbury District is relatively high when compared with the south west and England. From April 2004 to March 2005 the employment rate was 81.6% in Salisbury District, compared to 74.9% in England. Salisbury District is further characterised by low unemployment; the unemployment rate (% of the working age population) in 2005 was 3.4% in comparison to 4.7% in England. However, although this is relatively low the rate has increased by 0.8% since 2004, whereas the rate of unemployment in the south west and England has roughly remained the same.

In 2004 five of the Lower Layer SOAs in the Salisbury Vision area were ranked above the 50th percentile in the Indices of Deprivation for Employment. However, Lower Layer SOA 011A was ranked in the 22nd percentile and Lower Layer SOA 014D in the 13th percentile, which indicates that employment could be a problem in these areas.

Despite employment growth being higher than the national average, Salisbury District has experienced significantly lower rates of business formation than other areas in Wiltshire. In 2004 Salisbury District experienced a modest decline in the total number of VAT registrations from the previous year. Salisbury District also experienced a notable reduction in total business stock. This suggests that the economy of Salisbury District has not been transformed to any significant degree since 2000.

5.2.6 Education

Wiltshire County Council is the Local Education Authority for Salisbury District. In Salisbury District children’s educational attainment levels vary considerably. Attainment at Key Stage 2 English and Maths is significantly lower than at the county, regional and national level. In 2004, 71% of 11 year olds in Salisbury District were achieving Key Stage 2 English, in comparison with 78% in England. Similarly, in 2004 66% of 11 year olds in Salisbury District were achieving Key Stage 2 Maths, in comparison with 74% in England. The level of attainment of 11 year olds in these two subjects has been decreasing slowly since 2002. In addition, the percentage of schools in which at least 65% or more of pupils are achieving Key Stage 2 English and Maths in 2004 was considerably lower than the national average.

In contrast, attainment at Key Stage 3 Science, English and Maths is significantly higher than the national average. In 2004, 71% of 14 year olds were achieving Key Stage 3 Science, in comparison with 66% in England, and 75% of 14 years olds were achieving Key Stage 3 English, in comparison to 71% in England. Attainment at Key Stage 3 Maths in Salisbury District is also significantly higher than the national average; however this figure is lower than the county average. In 2004 75% of 14 year olds achieved Key Stage 3 English in Salisbury District, compared to 77% in Wiltshire. 55.9% of 16 year old children achieved 5+ GCSE grades A* to C in 2004 in Salisbury District, compared to 53.7% in England.

Salisbury District’s working population has a relatively high level of qualifications. In 2004 only 10.9% of the workforce had no qualifications, compared to 11.1% in Wiltshire and 14.8% in England. Salisbury District over performs both the South West and England in terms of the working age population having qualifications at NVQ level 2, 3 and 4+. Similarly, the work based learning success rate for persons aged 19+ was 73% in 2004.

In 2004 seven of the Lower Layer SOA’s in the Salisbury Vision area were ranked above the 60th percentile in the Indices of Deprivation for Education Skills and Training. Lower Layer SOA 014D however was ranked 7,470 out of 32,482 (23rd percentile), which indicates that education, skills and training could be an issue in this area.

5.2.7 Health

Life expectancy in Salisbury District is significantly above average. In 2003 female life expectancy in Salisbury District was 82 years old, in comparison to 80.9 years old in England. Similarly, male life expectancy in Salisbury District was 78.3 years old in 2003, compared to 76.6 years old in England.

The level of mortality due to circulatory diseases and cancer in Salisbury District is considerably lower than the national average. In 2003 the mortality rate for circulatory diseases in Salisbury District was 66.5, compared to 84.9 in England, and the cancer mortality rate was 112.4 in Salisbury District, in comparison with 121.6 in England. In contrast, Salisbury District has a higher suicide and undetermined injury mortality rate (8.8) than the national average (8.6).

The general health in the Salisbury Middle Layer SOAs 010, 011and 014 is significantly higher in comparison to the national average. 2001 Census data shows that over 70% of residents described their health as ‘good’, compared to a national average of 68.76%. The percentage of people with a long term limiting illness is also considerably lower; in 2001 15.78% of the population had a long term limiting illness, in comparison to 17.93% in England. In Middle Layer SOA 013 however, only 67.84% of residents described their health as ‘good’, which is lower than the local, county, regional and national average.

In 2004 six of the Lower Layer SOA’s in the Salisbury Vision area were ranked above the 44th percentile in the Indices of Health Deprivation and Disability. However, Lower Layer SOA 011A was ranked 6,984 out of 32,482 (22nd percentile) and Lower Layer SOA 014D was ranked 6,577 out of 32,482 (13th percentile), which is significantly lower than the local surrounding areas.

5.2.8 Housing

Housing affordability is a key issue in Salisbury District. According to the Land Registry, the average house price in Salisbury District in 2006 was £232,765, compared to £198,952 in the south west and £192,745 in England and Wales. Overall, house prices in Salisbury District have increased by over £74,000 since 2002, which reflects the desirability of the area. The South Wiltshire Strategic Alliance indicates that houses in Salisbury cost 11% more than the Wiltshire average and 17% more than the South West. Salisbury is the most expensive district for semi- detached, flats and terrace houses. This can be linked to the figures for housing supply by council tax band, where it is shown Salisbury has proportionally more houses in the higher bands than Wiltshire and the South West.

Salisbury District has the highest ratio of house prices to incomes when compared against Wiltshire and the South West, indicating significant problems of affordability in the District. According to the Wiltshire and Swindon Intelligence Network in 2003 the house price to income ratio in Salisbury District was 5.18, in comparison with 4.31 in Wiltshire and 4.66 in the South West.

Owner occupancy in Salisbury District is higher than the national average; in 2001 31.48% of households were owner occupied in Salisbury District, compared with 29.19% in England. In addition, the percentage of housing rented from Salisbury District Council, Housing Associations or Registered Social Landlords was lower in Salisbury District (15.93%), in comparison with England (19.26%), but higher than Wiltshire (14.33%) and the South West (13.53%). The percentage of housing privately rented in Salisbury District (16.89%) was significantly higher than Wiltshire, the South West and England in 2001.

The overall condition of dwelling stock in Salisbury District is above average. In 2004 2.9% of total dwelling stocks were unfit, compared to 5.6% in England. Similarly, 0% of Local Authority dwellings were classified as unfit, in comparison to the national average of 0.5%, and 3.4% of owner occupied and private rented dwellings were classified as unfit, compared to 4.3% in England.

The Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for energy rating of dwellings is a calculation of a building’s energy efficiency. SAP ratings are scored on a scale from 1 to 100, where 1 is the worst and 100 indicates no heating/hot water cost. According to the South Wiltshire Strategic Alliance the average SAP rating for Salisbury is 43. This compares with a national figure of 44 and an average for the South West of 45, despite there being a much larger number of pre-1919 properties constructed with solid walls in the Salisbury District.

In 2004 all eight Lower Layer SOAs in the Salisbury Vision area were ranked above the 40th percentile in the Indices of Deprivation for Barriers to Housing and Services.

According to the DCLG in 2005 the total number of people sleeping rough on a single night in Salisbury District was 5, compared to 3.6 people in England. In addition, 169 households were accepted as homeless in 2005.

5.2.9 Tourism and Recreation

Tourism is an essential part of the Salisbury District economy. According to the South Wiltshire Strategic Alliance tourism activity in Salisbury District accounts for £158 million of total business turnover. The local tourism industry sustains some 4,339 jobs or 8% of total employment.

Key attractions in Salisbury District include Salisbury Cathedral, Old Sarum and Stonehenge. Salisbury City Centre is also a popular and well-used shopping centre and has a number of specialist independent shops and national name retailers. Twice weekly markets held in the Market Place attract a significant number of visitors. The Market Place is also home to the annual Salisbury International Arts Festival and the Salisbury Food and Drink Festival.

Salisbury has a range of arts and entertainment facilities, including Salisbury Arts Centre, Salisbury Playhouse Theatre, Studio Theatre and the City Hall. In addition, there are four museums, a multi-purpose cinema and a purpose built entertainment venue. Leisure and recreation facilities include Salisbury Leisure Centre, Durrington Swimming and Fitness Centre and the Five Rivers Leisure Centre. Salisbury also has a series of sports walls around the City Centre, including Fisherton Recreation Ground and Harnham Recreation Ground.

Access to open space in Salisbury District is good. The area surrounding Salisbury is predominantly rural and walk programmes have been set up in three areas of the District. Salisbury has several local parks and allotment sites located throughout the City. The Harnham Watermeadows to the south, the open space around the Cathedral and green space around the Arts Centre are important open spaces that people are able to use within the City Centre. In 2003 73% of residents in Salisbury District were satisfied with local parks and open spaces in Salisbury District, compared to 58% in Wiltshire and 72% in England.

The former English Nature developed an Accessible Natural Green Space Standard to guide the creation of green space which recommends:

• An Accessible Natural Greenspace less than 300 metres (in a straight line) from home; • Statutory Local Nature Reserve (LNR) provided at a minimum level of one hectare per 1,000 population; • At least one accessible 20 hectare site within 2 kilometres of home; • At least one accessible 100 hectare site within 5 kilometres of home; and • At least one accessible 500 hectare site within 10 kilometres of home.

5.2.10 Traffic and Transport

Road Network

The Salisbury Vision area is predominantly bounded by main roads; the A3094 Netherhampton Road, the A338, Churchill Way East, Churchill Way West, the A36 and Wilton Road. There are six main strategic entry points into the city centre; the A338, A360, A345 and A30 in the north, the A3094 and the A36 Southampton Road Gateway. The County of Wiltshire spans major east/west transport corridors including the M4 London to South Wales Motorway and the A303 Trunk Road. The County also has north/south links via the A36 (currently in the process of being de-trunked), the A350 and the A338/A346 Primary Routes.

The Wiltshire Local Transport Plan 2 identified that road safety is a problem both within Salisbury City Centre and the surrounding road network. The speed and volume of traffic is too high in a number of areas, including Brown Street, Wilton Road, and the A360, which makes it dangerous

to walk or cycle in these areas. Within the city centre the narrow lanes, congestion and parked cars frequently cause problems with visibility and create difficulties for pedestrians and cyclists.

In 2004 the number of people killed and seriously injured (per 1,000 population) in Salisbury District was 0.9, compared to 0.7 in Wiltshire and 0.6 in England. Similarly the number of children killed and seriously injured (per 1,000 population) in 2004 was 0.5 in Salisbury, significantly higher in comparison to Wiltshire (0.3) and England (0.3).

Mode of travel in Salisbury District is predominantly by private vehicle. In 2001, 62.67% of people aged 16-74 years old travelled to work driving or as a passenger in a car or van in Salisbury, compared to 61.03% in England. However, a greater number of people walked and cycled to work in Salisbury than England as a whole. In 2001 14.3% of people walked and 3.91% cycled to work in Salisbury District compared to 9.99% and 2.83% in England respectively. The proportion of people who travel to work by bus, coach or minibus in Salisbury District is however lower than the national average; in 2001 4.18% of people travelled to work by bus, minibus or coach, compared to 7.51% in England.

Car ownership in Salisbury District is higher than the national average. In 2001 74.14% of households in Salisbury District owned at least one car or van, compared to 72.74% in the south west and 67.25% in England. In addition, the percentage of households with more than two cars or vans is significantly higher than the national average: 29.34% of households in Salisbury District have more than two cars or vans, in comparison to 23.56% in England.

Car Parking

Car parking is available at 11 off-street car parks in and around Salisbury City Centre; Brown Street car park (East and West), Central (North) car park, College Street car park, Culver Street multi car park, Lush House car park, Maltings/Central (South) car parks, Market Place car park, Millstream car park, Salt Lane car park and Southampton Road car park.

The total number of public off-street parking spaces in Salisbury is 3017 of which 1606 are commuter parking for people working in the city who need to park all day. In addition, privately owned public off-street parking for 620 cars is provided at Old George Mall Multi-storey car park. There are nine residential parking zones in Salisbury City Centre.

At present there are significant parking problems around Churchfields Industrial Estate. The visual impact of on-street and off-street car parking is considered to be poor.

Public Transport

The majority of bus services in Salisbury District are provided by a single major operator, the Wilts and Dorset Bus Company Limited. Main bus routes operate frequently in Salisbury City Centre. However, bus services to surrounding road areas are more infrequent and do not run evening services. No bus services currently operate along Churchfields Road, which is frequently congested.

There are four bus Park and Ride sites in Salisbury serving all the main approaches to the city: Wilton (to the west), Beehive (to the north), London Road (to the north east), and Britford (to the south). A fifth Park and Ride is still in the planning stage, due to be located near Petersfinger. This site will serve commuters approaching Salisbury on the A36 east from Southampton.

Currently there are about 120 taxis and 100 private hire vehicles licensed within Salisbury District, most of which operate in Salisbury City Centre. It is recognised that at present taxi services contribute to, and suffer from congestion problems in Salisbury City Centre. There are also often large queues for taxis late at night as a result of a lack of night bus services.

Salisbury Railway Station is located close to Salisbury City Centre, north of Churchfields Industrial Estate. Since 1991 rail use and the number of train services has increased. However, the location of Salisbury Railway Station on the edge of the City Centre, plus the

closure of other stations means that the rail network is not particularly accessible, either as an access mode to the City of for picking up services to other destinations.

Walking and Cycling

According to 2001 Census data, 9.99% of people walked and 2.83% cycled in to work Salisbury District. By 2011, the Salisbury Transport Plan aim to increase this by 10%. In addition, Salisbury District Council has adopted an overall target to quadruple the number of cycle trips (on 1996 figures) by 2012, in line with national cycling targets.

Salisbury District has an extensive cycle network of cycle lanes, cycle tracks and bridleways. The Salisbury Cycle Route Network was created in 1996 and comprises of approximately 23 miles of cycle routes. National Cycle Route 24 and 45 are also currently being developed by Sustrans, which will pass through Salisbury City Centre. There are also a number of footpaths and Public Rights of Way in and around Salisbury City Centre. These include footpaths along the River Avon and Harnham Watermeadows, Salisbury Cathedral and Churchfields Industrial Estate.

Although pedestrian and cycle access to Salisbury City Centre have been improved, linkages between outlying areas are constrained by the lack of a comprehensive network, concerns over personal security and the severance effect of Churchill Way. Cycle lanes are segregated at present and do not link fully with the cycle network. Road safety is also a key issue.

5.2.11 Key Sustainability Issues

The key sustainability issues relating to the existing socio-economic situation are:

• The ageing population of Salisbury; • Pockets of deprivation in some areas of Salisbury; • The need to manage crime and anti-social behaviour in Salisbury City Centre, including graffiti and litter; • Low levels of economic growth and attraction of businesses in comparison with the surrounding area; • Decreasing employment rate associated with Salisbury Districts ageing population; • Absence of developable employment land; • The need to address the conflicting uses and poor condition of Churchfields Industrial Estate; • The need to improve educational attainment; • The unsatisfactory performance of further education establishments; • The need to improve health in certain areas of Salisbury City Centre; • Lack of affordable housing, particularly one and two bedroom properties; • High house price to income ratio; • Levels of homelessness in Salisbury; • The need for a mix of housing to meet local needs, including housing for first time buyers, the elderly and the disabled; • The importance of tourism to Salisbury District; • Potential loss of visitors due to the development of other sub-regional centres; • The need to maintain and improve access to open space and natural greenspace; • The need to improve the frequency and reliability of bus services, particularly to rural areas; • High levels of Heavy Goods Vehicles travelling through Salisbury City Centre; • Traffic congestion in Salisbury City Centre; • The need to improve road safety for pedestrians and cyclists; • The poor condition of the road network; • High levels of private vehicle use; • Lack of parking facilities for the disabled and families with young children; • The need to increase the use of Park and Ride facilities; • The need to improve access to Salisbury Railway Station, particularly for public transport, cycling and pedestrians; • The need to improve linkages between footpaths and cycle ways in Salisbury City Centre, to ensure a comprehensive network; and

• The need to provide good quality and safe facilities for cyclists in Salisbury City Centre.

5.3.2 Air Quality

Since the First Round of Review and Assessments of Air Quality in Salisbury in 1999 five discrete Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) have been declared in Salisbury City Centre; Fisherton Street, Brown Street, Milford Street, Minster Street and Exeter Street. These were declared with respect to the Government’s annual mean objective for nitrogen dioxide, which is 40ug/m3 (micrograms per cubic metre) or 21pbb. The air quality on all of these roads is of concern.

The Salisbury District Council Local Air Quality Management Updating and Screening Assessment undertaken in 2006 concluded that the mean objective for NO2 was exceeded at Wilton Road and South Western Road and to a lesser extent at Blue Boar Row, London Road and Fisherton Road (outside the current Fisherton Street AQMA). Salisbury District Council must therefore undertake a detailed assessment of these areas.

Air quality objectives for carbon monoxide, benzene, 1,3 butadiene, lead, sulphur dioxide and PM10 have been met in Salisbury District.

5.3.3 Biodiversity, Flora and Fauna

Statutory Sites

The Salisbury Vision area comprises two SSSI (i) East Harnham Meadows and (ii) the River Avon and its tributaries.

According to English Nature 32% of East Harnham Meadows is in an unfavourable condition, of which 13% is unfavourable with no change and 19% is unfavourable and declining. 95% of the River Avon SSSI is in an unfavourable condition, of which 89% is unfavourable with no change and 6% is unfavourable and declining.

In addition to being designated a SSSI the River Avon and its tributaries (and part of East Harnham Meadows) are designated a SAC under the Habitats Directive due to the presence of the following internationally important habitats and species:

• Floating vegetation of Ranunculus of plain and submountainous rivers habitat • Sea Lamprey Petromyzon marinus an Annex IIa species • Brook lamprey Lampetra planeri an Annex IIa species • Atlantic salmon Salmo salar an Annex IIa & Va species • Bullhead Cotto gobius an Annex IIa species • Desmoulin’s Whorl Snail Vertigo moulinsiana an Annex IIa species

The Environment Agency produced a Salmon Action Plan in 1997 to address the declining numbers of salmon stocks in the catchment. This document is currently under review.

Under Regulation 48 of the Conservation (Natural Habitats &c) (Amendment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2006 (Habitats Regulations) it may be necessary to undertake an Appropriate Assessment (AA) for any development proposed within the Salisbury Vision area that may have an adverse effect upon the integrity of the River Avon SAC and Harnham Watermeadows SAC. It should also be noted that development outside of the SAC could have an adverse affect on the conservation value of the SAC, for example through groundwater contamination.

Non-Statutory Sites

East Harnham Meadows and the River Avon and its tributaries are also designated in the Local Plan as Areas of High Ecological Value.

There is one County Wildlife Site within the Salisbury Vision area; Harnham Watermeadows County Wildlife Site. This site is located adjacent to the southern boundary of the Salisbury Vision area east of Churchfields.

Key Habitats and Species

The Wiltshire Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) identifies local and national priority habitats. It also sets targets for their conservation and outlines mechanisms for achieving these. Several habitats listed in the Wiltshire BAP occur within the Salisbury Vision area, most importantly urban areas within Salisbury City Centre and the River Avon system. There is an 11 hectare area of broadleaved woodland adjacent to Churchfields Industrial Estate.

According to the Wiltshire and Swindon Biological Records Centre the Salisbury Vision area is the home a number of protected species, including Water Vole, Otter, Brown Hare, the Common Pipistrelle Bat, the Greater Horsehoe Bat, Snipe and Barn Owl. Protected flora within the Salisbury Vision area includes Serotine, Yew, Green-Flowered Helleborine, Tubular Water Dropwort and Bucks Horn Plantain. A full list of protected species and habitats is given in Section 5.11.5 of the SA Scoping Report.

It should be noted that brownfield land can often support protected habitats and species, including those listed in the BAP, and can often be of greater value than greenfield land.

5.3.4 Climate Change

Climate change is one of the greatest global environmental threats. The South West Climate Change Impacts Partnership have examined future climate scenarios and identified the key impacts upon the region.

It is likely that climate change will mean summers become hotter and drier, placing greater strain on the region’s water resources and altering natural habitats. Rare and endangered habitats including ancient woodland, soft coastal habitats, floodplain marshes, and chalk rivers, have been identified as particularly vulnerable to climate change. This will in turn impact on landscape character. Winters will become wetter, resulting in increased flash flooding and storm damage, with potential implications for historic buildings, homes, businesses and infrastructure. Relative sea level will continue to rise and extreme sea levels will be experienced more frequently, leading to increased risk of coastal flooding and erosion. Climate change could also bring opportunities, for example warmer temperatures and longer growing seasons could lead to increased productivity, and new business opportunities may arise for the leisure and tourism industry.

There is a need to reduce energy demand and use of fossil fuel resources, increase energy efficiency, curb the growth in transport emissions, and increase the amount of energy produced from clean, renewable sources. It is also important to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change through tackling dispersal of development, promoting sustainable design and use of resources and identifying areas and infrastructure vulnerable to change.

5.3.5 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology

Designated Archaeological Sites

There are four Scheduled Ancient Monuments (SAM) within the Salisbury Vision area. In addition, there are two SAMs located just outside of the site boundary north of Southampton Road. SAMs are shown on Figure 7 of the SA Scoping Report.

Listed Buildings are buildings of special architectural or historic interest recognised by the Government as being worthy of protection under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. There are around 2,969 Listed Buildings in Salisbury District, which represent an important part of Salisbury’s architectural heritage. The Guildhall is a designated Grade II* Listed Building; therefore is considered to be of outstanding interest.

English Heritage keep a Buildings at Risk register which brings together information on all Grade I and II* Listed Buildings and Scheduled Monuments known to English Heritage to be ‘at risk’. There are five buildings in Salisbury District on the Buildings at Risk register, 3 of which are classified as being in ‘poor condition’, and two which are classified as being in ‘fair condition’.

English Heritage also keep a register of Historic Parks and Gardens which are of historic interest and make a significant contribution to the diversity and pattern of the national landscape. There is one Historic Park and Garden in the Salisbury Vision area, the North Canonry in Cathedral Close.

An Extensive Urban Survey of Archaeology in Salisbury was published in 2004, which details the extent of archaeology and built heritage in Salisbury and known archaeological events that have taken place. From the period 1966 to 2004, 101 archeological events and interventions have taken place in Salisbury. There are 153 known archaeological sites in the Salisbury Vision area, and the entire Salisbury Vision area is designated an Area of Special Archaeological Significance.

There is potential within Salisbury for archaeological sites and areas of cultural heritage to exist that are currently unknown and so are not specifically designated.

Conservation Areas

Conservation Areas are designated areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character of which is important to preserve. The Salisbury Vision area is situated within the Salisbury Conservation Area, which covers the entirety of Salisbury City Centre. This Conservation Area is an amalgamation of five previous Conservation Areas within Salisbury City Centre.

Salisbury District Council commissioned Forum Heritage Services to undertake a review of the Salisbury Conservation Area in June 2006. The review is expected to be completed by late February 2007.

5.3.6 Geology

Geology and Soils

Salisbury District is mainly underlain by Upper Chalk, with Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous deposits to the west of Salisbury and Tertiary deposits to the east and south. Salisbury is built on Alluvium overlying Valley Gravels at the confluence of the Rivers Avon, Nadder and Bourne. In the more recent periods the city has extended up onto Upper Chalk and Plateau Gravels towards Old Sarum in the north and Harnham Hill in the south.

Contaminated Land

Contaminated land is defined in Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 as: “Any land which appears to the Local Authority in whose area it is situated to be in such a condition by reason of substances in, on or under the land, that (a) significant harm is being caused or there is significant possibility of such harm being caused (b) pollution of controlled waters is being or is likely to be caused’.

WYGE undertook a review of historical maps for the four key development sites in 2006. The assessment concluded that there is a moderate to high potential risk for ground contamination associated with approximately 15 historic land uses supported by the key sites. The risk is principally related to the potential for the presence of contamination within the soils beneath the sites.

5.3.7 Waste

Wiltshire County Council is currently the waste planning authority for Salisbury District. The amount of household waste collected per person in Salisbury District is lower than the national average and decreased by 137 kg per head between 2001-2002 and 2004-2005 respectively. The District also has a high recycling rate compared to the national average. From 2004-2005 17.4% of household waste was recycled in Salisbury District, compared to 15.2% in England. However, the recycling rate has reduced by 3.3% since 2001-2002 in Salisbury District. Salisbury District has a significantly low composting rate compared to county and national averages. From 2004 - 2005 only 1.2% of household waste was composted, compared to 8.7% in Wiltshire and 6.5% in England.

In 2004 - 2005 98% of the population of Salisbury District was served by kerbside collection or was within 1 kilometre of a recycling centre. This is significantly higher than the national average (91.1%).

Wiltshire County Council and Swindon Borough Council are in the process of preparing a Minerals and Waste Development Framework, comprising of a number of DPDs and SPDs and a LDS and SCI. Once complete, this will replace the existing Wiltshire and Swindon Minerals and Waste Local Plans. The Minerals and Waste Development Framework together with any existing saved plans and the RSS for the South West will provide the basis for future minerals and waste planning in Wiltshire and Swindon.

5.3.8 Landscape and Visual Amenity

Landscape

The Salisbury Vision area falls within the Countryside Agency Landscape Character Area 132: Salisbury Plain and West Wiltshire Downs. The southern end of the Salisbury Vision area also borders the Countryside Landscape Character Area 134: Dorset Downs and Cranborne Chase. The key characteristics of these areas are given in Table 5.1.

Table 5.1 Landscape Character Areas

Landscape Key Characteristics Character Area • Extensive open, rolling Chalk plateau dominated by large arable fields Salisbury Plain and • Scattered copses and shelterbelts West Wiltshire Downs • Woodland confined mainly to valleys and steep slopes • Unimproved chalk grassland of high nature conservation value • River valleys with common settlements and narrow floodplains, dominated by former floated flood meadows and meandering rivers • Steep scarps with unimproved grassland and woodland • Abundant older buildings of cob, thatch, brick, Chilmark Stone, flint and clunch. • Outstanding prehistoric ritual landscape with widespread earthworks and monuments prominent in an open landscape, especially Stonehenge • Military structures, airfields, tracks and signs.

Landscape Key Characteristics Character Area

• A rolling, chalk landscape with dramatic scarps and steep sided, sheltered Dorset Downs and valleys Cranborne Chase • Scarp slopes with species-rich grassland, complex combes and valleys, spectacular views, prominent hillforts and other prehistoric features • Open, mainly arable, downland on the dip slope with isolated farmsteads and few trees • Very varied valleys with woodlands, hedged fields, flood meadows and villages in flint and thatch • Distinctive woodlands and deer parks of Cranborne Chase.

Visual Amenity

A preliminary landscape and visual study of the Salisbury Vision area has been completed by Gillespies LLP. The results found that the general visibility of the Salisbury Vision area is contained to a large extent by a combination of intervening elements including topography, built form and vegetation. Areas of existing visual sensitivity do however exist.

The four key sites within the Salisbury Vision area are crossed by several key visual corridors that focus towards Salisbury Cathedral and the City Centre. These corridors need to be considered in the context of future development as they provide both constraints and opportunities. It is important to note however that further detailed visual analysis for each key site would need to take place in order to inform specific development proposals.

5.3.9 Noise

It is expected that high background noise levels in Salisbury would principally be associated with transport corridors. Late night noise and tourism are also a potential source of noise pollution in Salisbury City Centre. The Salisbury City Community Plan identified the need to reduce noise and disturbance in Salisbury City Centre when people move from bars and clubs, particularly at closing time.

5.3.10 Water Environment

Surfacewater

The Salisbury Vision area lies within the Hampshire Avon Catchment area. The main rivers in the Salisbury Vision area are the River Avon and the River Nadder. The River Avon flows south from Devizes, through the Salisbury Plain and joins the River Nadder at the southwestern corner of Harnham Watermeadows. The River Nadder flows westwards, from its source at Donhead St Mary to meet the River Avon.

The River Avon and the River Nadder are highly valued for their nature conservation, ecology and landscape. The River Avon and the River Nadder are also used extensively for recreation purposes, including fishing.

According to data held by the Environment Agency the stretches of rivers in Salisbury District have very good chemical and biological water quality. Overall the percentage of river water quality graded as having ‘Very Good’ chemical water quality has increased by over 25% from the period 2001-2003. Table 5.2 of the SA Scoping Report details the Environment Agency river water quality data for Salisbury District.

The Environment Agency has highlighted that there is the possibility during flooding that pollution could be spread over a wide area if transported by flood water. There are numerous sources for pollution in the Salisbury Vision area, including contaminated land and industrial uses. Churchfields Industrial Estate, for example, is at risk from flooding and has contamination issues associated with it (see Section 5.3.6). Flooding from the River Avon at Churchfields Industrial Estate could create new pathways to spread contamination away from the pollution source.

Groundwater

The Salisbury Vision area is covered by Sheet 52 Southern Hampshire of the Environment Agency Groundwater Vulnerability Map. This shows that the Salisbury Vision area is generally located over a Major Aquifer with soils of high or intermediate leaching potential.

Part of the Salisbury Vision area lies within Groundwater Source Protection Zones, as designated by the Environment Agency. These zones show the risk of contamination from any activities that might cause pollution in the area (the closer the activity, the greater the risk). The northern and eastern ends of the Salisbury Vision area, adjacent to Churchill Way West, Churchill Way East and Southampton Road Gateway, are designated as Zone 1 (Inner Protection Zone). A small band south of Zone 1 is designated Zone 2 (Outer Protection Zone).

Water Resources

Wessex Water provides water supplies in Salisbury District. There are currently 23 surface water abstraction licences granted within 250m of the site boundaries. These are used for general industrial purposes, potable water supply, and general irrigational and farming purposes.

The Hampshire Avon Catchment Abstraction Management Strategy (CAMS) highlights that the Hampshire Avon is currently over abstracted and there is no additional groundwater available. The River Avon and River Nadder are both water dependant and therefore vulnerable to drought.

The Environment Agency is currently undertaking a Review of Consents for existing permissions in the Hampshire Avon catchment. This was originally scheduled for completion in March 2006, however due to the size and complexity of the catchment, the review will now be completed in March 2008. The outcomes will inform decisions for water resource management over the next few years. Where abstractions are found to be damaging European nature conservation sites, including the River Avon SAC, there is likely to be a requirement to reduce the amount of water abstracted, or for other improvements to be made.

Flood Risk

According to the Environment Agency the last major events which severely flooded the Hampshire Avon catchment occurred in 1994/95 and 2000. Further significant flood flows occurred in 2003. During the winter 2000/2001 flooding, prolonged heavy rainfall occurred and the elevated water table was considered to be the most significant cause of flooding.

Damages due to flooding average approximately £8 million per year in the Hampshire Avon catchment, with over 7, 700 commercial and residential properties potentially at risk. A flood warning system is in place and improvements to the telemetry network are ongoing. Approximately 20% of officially listed flood risk properties within the Hampshire Avon catchment currently receive a flood warning. The primary source of flood risk is to people, property and infrastructure in developed areas on the edge of the floodplain.

Several designated sites within the Salisbury Vision area, including the River Avon SAC/SSSI, are also affected by water level/flow. Appropriate and sensitive water level management is seen as a crucial part of managing these designated sites in order to meet the needs of conservation and flood defence. Designated conservation sites at risk of flooding are outlined in Table 5.2.

In addition, 42 SAMs within the Hampshire Avon Catchment are in, or within 100 metres of the floodplain, or to known areas of groundwater flooding. The Environment Agency highlight that more information is required on the effect of changes in water level and flow at the sites of the SAMs as permanent inundation may help preserve them or have a detrimental impact upon their condition.

A large part of the Salisbury Vision area is classified as floodplain, which comprises Churchfields, the Watermeadows, adjacent to the southern boundary of the Salisbury Vision area, and extends outwards towards the Southampton Road Gateway in the south east of the Salisbury Vision area. The floodplain covers Salisbury Close, including Salisbury Cathedral and extends as far as High Street and Malmesbury House. Flooding could also occur to a smaller extent along the River Avon tributaries flowing south through Salisbury, including through the Maltings and Central Car Park. The Environment Agency considers the chance of flooding in this area each year to be 1.0% (equivalent to 1 in 100 years or less). In addition, there is a small pocket of outlying area adjacent to the Watermeadows which is likely to be affected by a major flood, with up to a 0.1% (1 in 1000) chance of occurring each year. The remaining area with the Salisbury Vision area is outside the extent of the extreme floodplain. This means that the chance of flooding each year is 0.1% (1 in 1000) or less. According to the Environment Agency depths of flooding, in and around Salisbury City, are estimated to be mostly in the range of up to 2.0 to 3.0m, though generally less than 0.5m near properties.

The Environment Agency is currently producing a Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP) for the Hampshire Avon catchment. The CFMP is a large scale, long term (50 to 100 years) strategic planning framework the integrated management of flood risks to people and the development and natural environment in a sustainable manner. The CFMP will present recommended objectives for the catchment and outline flood risk management policies within a supporting framework that will aid future decisions. The plan is scheduled for completion in June 2007.

It should be noted that any development within the floodplain will require a detailed Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA). Salisbury District Council is currently in the process of organising the production of a SFRA for the catchment areas of the River Avon and River Stour.

5.3.11 Urban Design

Salisbury City Centre has many of the attributes that define good urban design and place making. The original Chequers street pattern still exists on the eastern side of Salisbury City Centre, around the Market Place, Fish Row, Brown Street, Pennyfarthing Street, Winchester Street and Milford Street. The Chequers grid is based on perimeter block development with clear definition between public fronts and private backs.

However, there are areas within the Salisbury Vision area which reflect poor urban design. Typically these areas are large blocks of development, physically constrained by poor access and/or strategic routes. Areas of poor urban design include Central Car Park, Churchfields Industrial Estate and Southampton Road. The built form associated with these sites is out of character with the type of development found within the historic core, and these areas do not exploit the potential of their setting.

5.3.12 Key Sustainability Issues

The key sustainability issues relating to the environment are:

• The need to improve air quality in the AQMAs and other areas where air quality objectives have been exceeded; • The need to reduce traffic congestion emissions; • The need to protect and enhance the River Avon SSSI and the East Harnham SSSI and improve their condition; • The need to protect and enhance the River Avon designated SAC; • The need to protect and enhance non statutory sites designated for nature conservation, including the Harnham Watermeadows County Wildlife Site; • The need to protect habitats and species, particularly those listed in the Wiltshire Biodiversity Action Plan; • The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; • Potential climate change impacts upon Salisbury; • The need to protect archaeological and cultural heritage resources in the area; • The need to protect Listed Buildings within Salisbury City Centre; • The need to maintain the character of the Conservation Area covering Salisbury City Centre; • The need to protect known and unknown archaeological sites and finds in Salisbury City Centre; • Potential for contaminated land in Salisbury City Centre; • The need to increase the proportion of waste that is recycled or composted; • The need to reduce the amount of waste produced; • The need to protect and maintain key views across Salisbury; • The need to protect the landscape character of Salisbury and surrounding areas; • The need to protect and enhance the visual amenity of Salisbury City Centre; • Noise pollution around transport corridors in Salisbury; • Late night noise pollution associated with bars and clubs in Salisbury City Centre; • The need to protect and maintain the water quality of rivers in Salisbury; • The need to protect groundwater, particularly within Source Protection Zones; • Potential restrictions on availability of additional water resources; • Flood risk, and future flood risk associated with climate change; • The need to maintain and enhance the historic urban character of Salisbury City Centre; and • The need to improve areas of poor urban design.

5.4 Summary of Key Sustainability Issues

The SEA Directive requires an analysis of “…any existing environmental problems which are relevant to the plan…” (Annex 1d of the SEA Directive). Key sustainability issues that affect the Salisbury Vision were identified through an analysis of the baseline conditions and through the review of plans and programmes. These key issues identified in the previous sections are summarised in Table 5.3. Table 5.3 also shows whether the issue is social, economic, environmental or cross cutting (covers more than one category). It identifies the implications for the Salisbury Vision and the potential degree of influence that the Salisbury Vision will have on the issue.

6.0 SUSTAINABILITY APPRAISAL OF THE SALISBURY VISION OPTIONS

6.1 Introduction

Throughout the development of the Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework (ADF) consultation has been undertaken to inform the Salisbury Vision process and to identify key issues in the Salisbury Vision area. Following the scoping stage (Stage A) of the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and consultation stages in June 2006 Gillespies LLP held an initial options workshop to begin the process of developing options for the various areas and sites included within the Salisbury Vision area. Further options workshops were then undertaken with consultees and the project team to establish in greater detail suitable options for the Salisbury Vision area. Subsequently Gillespies LLP produced three potential options for the Salisbury Vision ADF.

6.2 Sustainability Appraisal of the Salisbury Vision Options

Stage B of the SA involved an appraisal of the options developed by Gillespies LLP and the ‘business as usual’ option. The appraisal was undertaken using the SA Framework developed in the scoping stage and accounting for consultee comments on the SA Scoping Report.

The SA compared the social, economic and environmental effects of the following options:

• Option 0: ‘Business As Usual’; • Option 1: Enhancement; • Option 2: Consolidation; and • Option 3: Step Change.

The following sub-headings give a brief summary of the potential options. Options 1 to 3 are shown in greater detail in Gillespies LLP Options Summary Report (2006).

6.2.1 Option 0: ‘Business as Usual’

The ‘Business as Usual’ option represents maintenance of the status quo. For the purposes of the SA, baseline conditions are assumed to be the ‘status quo’ for the Salisbury Vision. Implementation of the options will result in either an improvement to or deterioration in this baseline. Under the ‘Business as Usual’ option there would be no improvement or deterioration in the baseline. However, in reality this would not occur due to the operation of natural and social processes.

6.2.2 Option 1: Consolidation

Option 1 is focused on consolidating existing land uses in the Salisbury Vision area. This includes public realm improvement through better lighting, public art, planting and seating, along with decluttering of un-necessary highway and service elements. Improved links to key destinations are proposed at Southampton Road Gateway, Central Car Park and Maltings and Churchfields Industrial Estate. River frontage improvement is proposed along the River Avon at Southampton Road Gateway. Pedestrian orientated crossing points are included at various locations along Churchill Way and improvements would be made to the transport interchange near Salisbury Railway Station. Minor development infill and connection improvement would be undertaken at Southampton Road Gateway.

6.2.3 Option 2: Enhancement

Option 2 is focused on enhancing existing land uses, the economic profile within Salisbury and the environmental offer. This includes high quality public realm treatment, including lighting, public art, street planting and seating. Limited mixed use development is proposed on key sites such as Central Car Park and Maltings, Churchfields Industrial Estate and Southampton Road re-branded respectively as Western Chequers, Churchfields and Eastern Gateway. Collectively, this would comprise of retail and leisure, residential, learning and business. Environmental improvements to green space, rivers and public gardens is also proposed including contemporary riverside

gardens, and improved leisure and recreation facilities at Churchill Gardens. A green necklace of avenue planting and green space would be created bordering Churchill Way and the Salisbury Vision area with the aim of defining a carbon neutral zone. New and improved links to key destinations are proposed at the Eastern Gateway (Southampton Road), the Western Chequers (Central Car Park and Maltings), Churchfields (Churchfields Industrial Estate), across the Watermeadows and to communities bordering the Salisbury Vision area north and south of Churchfields Industrial Estate. Transport improvements are also proposed, including a new arrival space and interchange improvement at Salisbury Railway Station and an area of pedestrian focus around the core of the City Centre.

6.2.4 Option 3: Step Change

Option 3 is focused on creating a step change in existing land uses, the market and economic profile within Salisbury and the environmental offer. This includes high quality public realm treatment to streets, squares and spaces in the Salisbury Vision area. Major mixed use development is proposed on key sites such as the Eastern Gateway (Southampton Road Gateway), Churchfields Industrial Estate and the Western Chequers (Central Car Park and Maltings), including an expanded development area to include Fisherton Street and Castle Street. Collectively, this would comprise of hotel/conferencing, residential, offices, retail and leisure, and education.

In addition, Option 3 proposes improvements to the Friary housing estate in the south west of Salisbury, including a new high quality link across the Friary towards Salisbury Cathedral in the west and Southampton Road Gateway in the east. Significant new and improved high quality links are also proposed across the Western Chequers (Central Car Park and Maltings) and the Market Place, and at Churchfields Industrial Estate and the Watermeadows. A number of transport improvements are also proposed within the Salisbury Vision area, including a bus station/interchange at the Western Chequers, a significant pedestrian orientated zone across Salisbury City Centre and development of new car parks located close to the ring road at Salisbury Railway Station and the Western Chequers (Central Car Park and Maltings).

Option 3 proposes environmental improvements to green space, rivers and gardens within the Salisbury Vision area, including the development of an environment and ecology learning centre and sustainable water park as part of a green tourist attraction within the open space south west of the city core. A new cultural hub is proposed at the Western Chequers (Central Car Park and Maltings), comprising a theatre and library, and improvements to the Art Centre would be undertaken, including the development of a sculpture/portrait park. A green necklace of avenue planting and green space would be created bordering Churchill Way and the Salisbury Vision area with the aim of defining a carbon neutral zone.

6.2.5 Sustainability Appraisal Methodology

The options appraisal enables the social, economic and environmental acceptability of the potential options to be determined. The SA of the options has been presented in the form of appraisal matrices. These appraisal matrices are presented in Appendix C.

For each option it was determined whether the option would move towards or away from achievement of each SA objective. In some cases the options had no influence on the objective or it would depend on how the option is implemented as to whether it was moving towards or away from achievement of an objective. This was illustrated through the use of symbols in the options appraisal matrices.

Commentary was provided in the appraisal matrix to explain the likely effects that have been identified. In addition, where necessary, changes to the options or mitigation measures have been recommended to reduce any potential adverse effects, or maximise those that are beneficial.

6.3 Outcomes of the Options Appraisal

The SA of the options identified a number of potential effects associated with the ‘business as usual’ option and the three options proposed by Gillespies LLP, both beneficial and adverse. The outcomes are summarised as follows.

Option 0 offers no opportunities to improve or enhance the Salisbury Vision area and ensures only a basic level of protection. In particular this option may limit opportunities to address issues of affordable housing, social inclusion and vitality of the Salisbury Vision area. Option 0 may further limit opportunities for the protection and enhancement of the landscape and ecology/rivers in the Salisbury Vision area.

Option 1 is similar to Option 0 but offers opportunities to improve the Salisbury Vision area, depending upon its implementation. Similar to Option 0, Option 1 does not propose provision of affordable housing or new services and facilities within the Salisbury Vision area, therefore moves away from the Salisbury Vision SA objectives on housing and services provision. The potential development of land north of Churchfields Industrial Estate for car parking moves away from the achievement of SA objectives on sustainable transport and air quality because increasing car park provision may encourage private car use, which has associated traffic congestion, road safety and air quality impacts. Option 1 is considered to move away from the achievement of the SA objective on social inclusion because although public realm improvements are proposed, these aspects may not address the needs of the young and elderly, the disabled and diverse groups. Option 1 also moves away from the SA objective on the efficient use of land. This is because no significant development is proposed in the Salisbury Vision area, which may encourage development of Greenfield land elsewhere.

Options 2 and 3 offer significant opportunities to improve and enhance the Salisbury Vision area, including addressing issues of affordable housing, transport, provision of green space and improvement to landscape/ecology/rivers in the Salisbury Vision area. But again the outcome will depend upon its implementation. The potential benefits of Options 2 and 3 can be maximised for example by ensuring that a high percentage of new housing is affordable, and ensuring all new developments achieve Eco-home and BREEAM ratings of at least ‘Very Good’, or ‘Excellent’ where possible.

Negative aspects of Options 2 and 3 include potential adverse impacts of development on landscape, biodiversity and geodiversity, and flooding in the Salisbury Vision area. Where these aspects are of concern mitigation measures must be implemented. For example, with regards the SA objective on water quality, the Salisbury Vision should ensure best practice is adopted during development design and construction to avoid pollution. Construction should be in accordance with best practice guidelines – Environment Agency Guidelines and Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 23: Planning and Pollution Control. New developments should incorporate Sustainable Drainage Systems and water conservation measures. Appropriate Assessment (AA) will be needed for any development that could adversely affect the River Avon Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and the Salisbury Vision should afford protection to the River Avon in all cases.

The findings of the options appraisal were provided to the project team. In addition, the options appraisal was sent to the three statutory consultees (Environment Agency, English Heritage and Natural England) and Salisbury District Council, Wiltshire County Council, the South West Regional Development Agency and the Government Office for the South West. The consultation responses are given in full in Appendix D.

6.4 Development of the Preferred Option

Following development of the options a public exhibition was held in late September 2006. Participants were given an introduction to three options and asked to complete a questionnaire, where possible indicating what they considered the most suitable option.

Of those people making a direct choice between the three options, 61% chose Option 3: Step Change. The outcome of the exhibition is given in full in the Vision for Salisbury Options Exhibition Results Report (2006) produced by BDOR Limited.

A further workshop was then undertaken in October 2006. The main purpose of the workshop was to use the findings of the public exhibition to aid Gillespies LLP in the development of the preferred option and to inform the preparation of the ADF. The workshop highlighted the need to ensure that the key issues of deliverability, design quality, consultation and the roles of key partners were addressed. These final outcomes informed the preparation of the Salisbury Vision ADF.

It should be noted that the options appraisal was a tool to inform Gillespies LLP in the decision making process. No priority was given to social, environmental or economic factors and as such the role of the options appraisal was to highlight sustainability implications rather than to recommend appropriate options for implementation.

6.4.1 Reasons for the Dismissal of Options

The SEA Directive requires the “reasons for selecting alternatives…” to be identified. The following paragraphs detail the consultant team’s reasons for the dismissal of options.

Options 1 and 2 have been dismissed almost solely in response to the results of public and stakeholder consultation. As highlighted in Section 6.4 both these options were presented as part of the public exhibition in September 2006 alongside Option 3. These were:

• Option 1: Consolidation. • Option 2: Enhancement.

Exhibition panels were produced for all three options. Each was introduced and described, partly in text and partly as a plan. This was followed by notes on the implications and possible pros and cons. As part of the exhibition the design team had included a medley of photos from other places around the UK (and Europe) to prompt reactions and stimulate discussion.

Around 400 peoples signed in to the options exhibition. Some 243 completed questionnaires were received, along with some letters. There were no significant discernible variations in response according to age, gender or residential location.

Of those people who made a direct choice between the three options, rather than offering variations or ticking ‘none’, 61% chose Option 3: Step Change.

The reasons for dismissing Options 1 and 2 were as follows:

Option 1: Consolidation

Many people felt that the ideas within Option 1 should already form part of Salisbury District Council’s management of the City at present. Positive change was also considered essential if the City was to compete with surrounding centres and that not recognising the opportunity for change would mean ignoring the inevitable occurrence of new development.

The general consensus was that Salisbury has problems relating to poor quality public realm, dominance of traffic within the City Centre and unfulfilled greenspaces and rivers. Option 1 was simply papering over the cracks and providing superficial solutions to these problems which needed a greater level of intervention to solve them. It was equally felt that this option was very short-term without offering a longer term view of how the City Centre could progress in the next 15-20 years. Equally it was thought that it failed to provide enough influence to affect the future direction of the wider City and District. This has added resonance for the concern over lagging further behind neighbouring towns and cities in terms of economic growth and attractiveness.

Option 2: Enhancement

The main concern expressed over Option 2 was that despite development proposals on a number of the key sites, such as Central Car Park, and more limited change on Churchfields, this option did not go far enough and was only considered a ‘75% solution’. It was seen as not fulfilling the real potential of a number of the key sites where comprehensive change was needed in order to make a genuine difference in economic, environmental and visual terms.

The lack of significant ambition and greater scale of change also had implications for not providing a holistic solution to city finance using the sums of money generated by greater development to subsidise other parts of the Vision.

A lower level of development was also seen as producing more difficulty in addressing critical issues of providing affordable housing, better social inclusion and improved City Centre vitality, key issues identified within the Baseline.

Overall, the exhibition found a higher level of support for Option 3 which was clear and strong to the point where people suggested that it did not go far enough in its level of ambition. The general reasons given in favour of Option 3 support those given for the project in the first place, namely concerns over loss of status in relation to neighbouring places, piecemeal approaches adopted in the past and tackling key problem sites together in a more comprehensive way.

7.0 COMPATIBILITY TEST

The Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework (ADF) objectives are detailed in Section 3.4.5. In order to determine whether the Salisbury Vision ADF objectives are in accordance with sustainability principles it is necessary to test their compatibility against the SA objectives.

The compatibility matrix in Appendix E identified areas where conflicts may arise. Suggestions for improving the compatibility of the Salisbury Vision ADF objectives with the SA objectives have been made. The finalisation of the Salisbury Vision ADF objectives should take into account these suggestions. This will enable Salisbury District Council to ensure that the Salisbury Vision ADF objectives are in accordance with sustainability principles.

8.0 SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS OF THE SALISBURY VISION AREA DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

8.1 Introduction

It is a requirement of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive that an analysis of the “likely significant effects on the environment, including issues such as biodiversity, population, human health, fauna, flora, soil, water, air, climatic factors, material assets, cultural heritage including architectural and archaeological heritage, landscape and the interrelationship between the above factors is undertaken…” (Annex 1F of the SEA Directive) is undertaken.

The SEA Directive also requires “…measures envisaged to prevent, reduce and as fully as possible offset any significant adverse effects on the environment…” (Annex 1G of the SEA Directive) to be considered.

The Sustainability Appraisal (SA) of the Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework (ADF) has been undertaken in relation to the SA Framework developed during the scoping stage (detailed in the SA Scoping Report). The predicted effects of each project proposed within the Salisbury Vision ADF are detailed in relation to each of the SA objectives in the Appraisal Matrices in Appendix G.

For the purposes of the SA the baseline conditions are assumed to be the status quo for the Salisbury Vision area. Implementation of the Salisbury Vision ADF will result in either an improvement to or deterioration in this baseline. If the Salisbury Vision ADF is not implemented (business as usual) then it must be assumed that there will be no change to the current baseline conditions. In reality this would not occur as natural and social processes would continue to operate.

It should be noted that this SA has been based precisely upon the information provided in the Salisbury Vision ADF Report. Therefore, if any of the specifics within the Salisbury Vision ADF change, the potential significant effects may also change. In this event, the Salisbury Vision ADF will need to be reassessed to determine significant effects.

The methodology for assessing significant effects is detailed in the following sections.

8.2 Appraisal Methodology

8.2.1 Nature and Duration of Effects

The social, economic and environmental effects of the Salisbury Vision ADF have been predicted in relation to each of the SA objectives developed at Stage A as detailed in Table 3.1. The effects have been quantified in terms of their nature and duration of effects.

Effects may be of the following nature:

• Adverse or beneficial • Direct or indirect

Effects may be of the following duration:

• Temporary or permanent • Short or long term

The magnitude of effects has been quantified based upon the changes to the baseline conditions which are predicted to arise from the Salisbury Vision ADF taking into account the likelihood and scale of change. Table 8.1 details the methodology used for determining the magnitude of effects.

Table 8.1 Methodology for Determining Magnitude of Effects

Magnitude of Description Effect Effect resulting in a considerable change in baseline conditions with Major undesirable/desirable consequences on the receiving environment

Effect resulting in a discernible change in baseline conditions with Minor undesirable/desirable consequences that can be tolerated

No effect No discernible change in baseline conditions

Table 8.2 details the methodology used for determining the sensitivity (or the importance) of receptors. Sensitivity is determined in terms of geographical extent and/or the importance of a receptor based on statutory designations. For example if a river is designated a SAC at a European level then it is considered to be more sensitive than if it was an ordinary watercourse as shown in Table 8.2. Receptors such as individual persons or properties are generally considered to be of local importance.

Table 8.2 Methodology for Determining Sensitivity

Sensitivity Examples of Receptors

International Special Area of Conservation

Site of Special Scientific Interest National Scheduled Ancient Monument Major Aquifer used for potable water supply

County Wildlife Sites Minor Aquifer used for general water supply purposes Regional Sites and Monuments Record Regional transport network Single property or group of properties Local Ordinary watercourse

8.2.2 Assessment of Effects

Following the prediction of effects, as detailed above, an assessment of the significance of these effects has been undertaken. The factors described above (magnitude and sensitivity of the receptor) have been considered in order to determine significance. Table 8.3 gives an indication as to how magnitude and sensitivity are combined in order to determine significance.

Table 8.3 Methodology for Determining Significance

Magnitude Sensitivity Significant?

International 9

National 9 Major Regional 9

Local 9

Magnitude Sensitivity Significant?

International 9

National 9

Minor Regional 9

Local 8

In certain cases an impact of minor significance could be considered to be of great importance by local residents and deserves further consideration. The appraisal matrices show how significant adverse effects represent a move away from a SA objective and significant beneficial effects represent a move towards a SA objective. Effects which are unknown should be considered to be significant until further assessment can clarify their nature.

8.2.3 Level of Confidence

Given that predictions can only be as accurate as the data they are based on it is important to attribute a level of confidence to which the significance of effects has been assessed. Table 8.4 defines the confidence levels referred to in the SA of the Salisbury Vision ADF.

Table 8.4 Impact Prediction Confidence

Confidence Level Description

The significance of an effect is an informed estimate likely to be based on reliable High data or subjective judgement with reference to similar situations. Further information would not result in any change to assessment of significance.

The significance of an effect is a best estimate likely to be based on subjective Low judgement without reference to similar situations. Further information would be needed to confirm assessment of significance.

8.3 Significant Effects of the Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework

This section gives an overview of the beneficial and adverse effects associated with each of the projects proposed in the Salisbury Vision ADF. Full details of the effects of the Salisbury Vision ADF in relation to each of the SA objectives are given in Appendix F.

Section 8.3.1 provides a summary of the overall effect of the Salisbury Vision ADF in relation to economic, social and environmental factors. In addition, Section 8.3.2 provides a summary of the effects of each individual project, including a summary table highlighting these effects in relation to social, economic and environmental factors. The percentage figure in each table indicates the proportion of adverse/beneficial/unknown effects that each individual project is likely to have based upon the appraisal matrices presented in Appendix F. Table 3.1 identifies whether the SA objectives address social and/or economic and/or environmental considerations; with objectives often addressing more than one consideration. The relationships identified in Table 3.1 form the basis for determining the effects of the Salisbury Vision ADF.

It should be noted that the percentages presented in each summary table may not always reflect whether an individual project is truly adverse or beneficial. The nature of a project may sometimes prevent it from interfacing with a particular objective. For instance, a project regarding public realm is unlikely to contribute towards the performance of school children or the number of houses being built on brownfield land. This does not mean the project is particularly adverse. The summary tables should therefore be read in conjunction with the appraisal matrices and the associated text in Sections 8.3.1 and 8.3.2.

8.3.1 Overall Effects of the Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework

Implementation of the Salisbury Vision ADF is likely to have a number of social, economic and environmental effects.

The Salisbury Vision ADF proposes provision of decent, accessible and affordable housing at a number of key sites in the City Centre. In addition, the ADF states the need to ensure development is accessible, meets the needs of local communities and contributes to creating balanced communities. It is therefore likely that overall the ADF will have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 2: To ensure that everybody has the opportunity of living in a decent and affordable home, and to reduce homelessness, and a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 3: To reduce poverty and social exclusion and close the gap between the most deprived areas in the Salisbury Vision area and the rest of the District. Development proposed at two sites within the Salisbury Vision area may, however, result in the loss of existing residential homes. Residents currently living in these areas may need to be relocated elsewhere.

The Salisbury Vision ADF recognises the importance of creating good quality, direct connections throughout Salisbury City Centre and acknowledges that high quality connections from outside Salisbury City are fundamental to overcoming the barrier of the Ring Road and to encourage people to walk and cycle (Design Principle 1: Improved Connectivity). Improvements to the existing public transport network are proposed within the Salisbury Vision area and new public transport services will be provided, including the development of a new Station Interchange at Salisbury Railway Station. In addition, the ADF proposes a traffic management strategy that re- prioritises the City Centre core towards pedestrians and cyclists, and improvements to the public realm. Car parking will be rationalised in the City Centre and a number of car parks will be closed. It is therefore likely that the ADF will have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 7: To improve transport choice, including sustainable transport solutions, provide affordable and accessible transport to surrounding areas, and improve safety and reduce congestion on roads, SA Objective 18: To improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and SA Objective 6: To improve provision of and accessibility to all services and facilities.

New car parking provision within the Salisbury Vision area may, however, encourage private vehicle use, which moves away from SA Objectives 7 and 18. However, in most instances the ADF states that parking should be adequate to meet the needs of the residents and car parking provision of less than 1 space per unit will be provided where good quality alternatives are integrated and where there is good access to public transport. These measures should minimise potential adverse impacts associated with the provision of car parking.

The Salisbury Vision ADF proposes a number of general design principles that will contribute towards addressing crime, the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour in the Salisbury Vision area. The ADF states that crime, the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour should be a key consideration in development design, including the adoption of Secured by Design Principles, and states that development should provide balconies, verandahs and articulate frontages and promote surveillance around public spaces and streets, which should help to prevent/reduce crime and anti-social behaviour. In addition, the ADF proposes a number of public realm improvements, including high quality lighting, which, depending on its application, may also be of benefit. It is therefore likely that the ADF will have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 5: To reduce crime, the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour including noise, disturbance, graffiti and littering. Secured by Design Principles should be adopted for all new development and consultation should be undertaken with the Police Architectural Liaison Officer to determine how to best integrate crime prevention into the design of the development.

Overall, it is likely that the Salisbury Vision ADF will have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 4: To improve the health and wellbeing of the population and reduce inequalities in health. The Salisbury Vision ADF proposes improvements/enhancements to existing open space/green space and the provision of new open space and natural green space within the Salisbury Vision area. These measures may have an indirect benefit upon health and wellbeing. New medical facilities are also proposed within the Salisbury Vision area, which will provide additional health services for the Salisbury District. Development of the new city park will,

however, result in the loss or relocation of existing medical facilities in the proposed Confluence Park area.

The Salisbury Vision ADF proposes development of a new Salisbury College within the City Centre, comprising of a new quality learning centre and facilities. This will have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 19: To raise educational attainment levels and develop opportunities for everyone to acquire the skills to find and remain in work. In addition, businesses occupying new office development may provide new training opportunities so that people can acquire new skills to help them remain in work. The ADF should seek to include facilities for adult education and community activities and it will be important to ensure that the new college is accessible to everyone.

The Salisbury Vision ADF is likely to have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 3: To reduce poverty and social exclusion and close the gap between the most deprived areas in the Salisbury Vision area and the rest of the District. The ADF acknowledges the need to ensure that development has no adverse impact upon social exclusion and states that development should also look at ways of improving social exclusion within the District. In addition, the ADF states that the design and layout of development will be expected to take into account the needs of every member of the community, including young people, the elderly and those with disabilities. The ADF further recognises the need to ensure that development meets the needs of local communities and development is accessible to everyone.

Development proposed within the Salisbury Vision area may have an adverse effect upon SA Objective 13: To conserve and enhance the biodiversity, in particular BAP habitats and species, and geodiversity of the Salisbury Vision area, and SA Objective 14: To ensure no adverse effect on the integrity of the River Avon designated under the Habitats Regulations (through AA), in particular potential loss and disturbance of habitats and species as a result of development and pollution impacts associated with construction and use. However, the ADF recognises the need to preserve and enhance the natural environment and the ecosystems that exist within it (Place Making Principle ‘Protecting the Environment and Biodiversity’, and therefore proposes general design principles and measures which should ensure that development has a beneficial effect in relation to SA Objectives 13 and 14. The ADF states that biodiversity and geodiversity will be a key consideration in development design for all projects. In addition, the ADF states that ecological advice will be sought from a qualified ecologist, and ecological surveys will be undertaken where appropriate. The ADF also states that development on designated sites should be avoided and acknowledges that careful consideration should also be given to the development of brownfield sites (as these may also support protected species and habitats). Development should also aim to create new/enhance existing habitats and integrate areas of green space within development.

Under Regulation 48 of the Conservation (Natural Habitats &c) (Amendment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2006 (Habitats Regulations) Appropriate Assessment (AA) is required for any development that may have an adverse effect upon the integrity of the River Avon SAC and Harnham Watermeadows SAC. It is therefore strongly recommended that consultation is undertaken with Natural England, as soon as possible, to determine the potential need for AA for the Salisbury Vision ADF.

The majority of development proposed within the Salisbury Vision area is on previously developed brownfield land. In addition, the ADF states that development should encourage the use of brownfield land, including the re-use of existing buildings, and re-use recycled materials from buildings where appropriate. The need to minimise waste to prevent further environmental degradation is also recognised within the Place Making Principle ‘Protecting the Environment and Biodiversity’. It is therefore likely that the ADF will have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 10: To use land efficiently, where appropriate, maximising the use of brownfield land, including the re-use of materials from buildings, and encourage urban renaissance and a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 16: To reduce pollution and waste generation and increase levels of re-use and recycling.

The Salisbury Vision ADF recognises that good environmental design should focus upon the enhancement of green spaces (Place Making Principle ‘Protecting the Environment and Biodiversity). The ADF proposes development of a new city park and improvements to existing natural green space. A new eco-park is also proposed within the Salisbury Vision area, which will improve access to a significant area of natural green space in the City Centre. In addition, for a number of sites the ADF states that development should integrate areas of green space within development and create new/enhance existing habitats. It is therefore likely that the ADF will have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 9: Improve accessibility to natural green space in the Salisbury Vision area and to the surrounding countryside. These aspects will also have health and biodiversity benefits; therefore have a beneficial effect upon SA Objectives 4 and 13. The ADF should consider higher density development where appropriate, to release areas of land which can be retained as green/open space. Natural green space should be maintained and enhanced in accordance with the English Nature Space for Nature Guidelines.

Mixed use development, including housing, office, retail and other uses is likely to lead to an increase in energy consumption, e.g. energy use associated with buildings. However, the Salisbury Vision ADF also presents significant opportunities to increase energy efficiency, in particular in new buildings. The ADF states that all development should achieve EcoHomes/BREEAM ratings of at least ‘Very Good’ and further states that buildings should achieve high standards of environmental design; and material specification/energy management should demonstrate responsible environmental design principles. The need to include elements such as solar design, natural heating systems and alternative energy sources to prevent further environmental degradation is also recognised within the Place Making Principle ‘Protecting the Environment and Biodiversity’. The Salisbury Vision ADF is therefore expected to perform well in relation to energy efficiency and will have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 11: To increase energy efficiency including that of buildings and to promote the generation of energy from renewable resources.

Development proposed in the Salisbury Vision area may have an effect upon SA Objective 15: To reduce the risk of flooding. A number of sites are located within the floodplain; in which the chance of flooding is considered to be 1 in 100 years or less. Development proposed outside of the floodplain may also affect surface water run-off rates, which could impact upon the floodplain upstream or downstream. However, the ADF recognises the need to carefully consider development in the floodplain and the potential impacts of development upon surface water run- off and flood risk (including current and future impacts associated with climate change). The ADF further recognises the need to carefully consider the effect that transforming the watermeadows will have on flood risk. The watermeadows are within the designated floodplain and are key in reducing flood risk in Salisbury. There is also potential for the watermeadows to support Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) for Churchfields, which will benefit SA Objective 15.

Salisbury District Council is currently in the process of organising the production of a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) for the catchment area of the River Avon and the River Stour. This will determine the mitigation measures necessary to ensure that development in the Salisbury Vision area will not result in any additional flood risk. It will be important to ensure that overall flood risk is reduced in accordance with PPS 25: Development and Flood Risk for all development proposed.

Mixed use development proposed within the Salisbury Vision area could increase water consumption and the amount of waste for disposal. However, it also presents significant opportunities to make use of best practice sustainable design and construction techniques which may help to minimise waste production and water consumption. The ADF states that development should seek to re-use existing buildings and re-use/recycle materials from buildings where appropriate. These measures should help to reduce waste generation therefore will have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 16: To reduce pollution and waste generation and increase levels of re-use and recycling. In addition, the ADF states that new development should incorporate water conservation measures and achieve BREEAM/EcoHomes ratings of at least ‘Very Good’. The need to include elements such as water recycling and sustainable water management is also recognised within the Place Making Principle ‘Protecting the Environment and Biodiversity’. Development proposed within the Salisbury Vision area is therefore likely to

have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 17: To maintain and improve the water quality and quantity of the Salisbury Vision areas rivers, particularly the River Avon, and to ensure that water efficiency measures are implemented.

There is the potential for development to result in pollution, in particular given the close proximity of the River Avon and the watermeadows to a number of the sites. All development proposed within the Salisbury Vision area is located over a Major Aquifer with soils of high permeability. Five Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA) have also been declared within the Salisbury Vision area, within which air pollution is of concern.

The potential for pollution can be mitigated by ensuring best practice is adopted during development design and construction, for example installation of pollution prevention systems (e.g. interceptors/oil separators/filtration systems). The ADF should employ contractors registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme. Constructors that register with the Scheme are monitored against a Code of Considerate Practice, designed to encourage best practice on site. For example, constructors registered with the Scheme make a commitment to monitor emissions from commercial transport to and from the site and ensure water pollution prevention measures are put in place. Such measures can help to reduce the potential impact of development. The relevant Environment Agency Pollution Prevention Guidance Notes (see the Environment Agency website: www.environment-agency.gov.uk) should also be adhered to, and restrictions should be placed on new development to protect groundwater, as detailed in the Environment Agency guidance on the Policy and Practice for the Protection of Groundwater.

There is also the potential for contaminated land at a number of sites, associated with former contaminative land uses. Development on contaminated land could result in pollution impacts and could have an indirect impact upon health and biodiversity should the contamination be disturbed. Contaminated land should be remediated in accordance with best practice guidelines – Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 23: Planning and Pollution Control and the Environment Agency Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination (CLR11).

Development proposed within the Salisbury Vision area will help to facilitate economic growth and is therefore likely to have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 20: To facilitate sustainable economic growth, development and competitiveness of new and existing businesses in the Salisbury Vision area. However, development may result in the loss of existing businesses at a number of sites. These businesses will need to be relocated elsewhere, which may have an adverse effect upon SA Objective 20. There is a need to ensure proposed development has no adverse impact upon existing business and employment and that careful consideration is given to the relocation of the existing businesses, prior to redevelopment, to ensure that the existing businesses are situated in another appropriate and accessible location.

There are a number of Listed Buildings and known sites of archaeological importance within the Salisbury Vision area. In addition, a significant part of the City Centre is designated as a Conservation Area. There is also potential for unknown sites of archaeological importance. Development proposed in the Salisbury Vision area may have an adverse effect upon SA Objective 24: To protect, maintain and improve the built and physical environment and cultural heritage of the Salisbury Vision area including Salisbury Cathedral, Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings if inappropriately developed. However, the ADF states that the scale, massing and height of any proposed development should be considered in relation to that of adjoining buildings, the topography, the general pattern of heights in the area, and views, vistas and landmarks. A visual corridor to Salisbury Cathedral must also be maintained. The ADF further highlights the need to ensure high quality sustainable design which takes into account the existing character. These measures should prevent potential adverse impacts upon cultural heritage and archaeology associated with development. The Salisbury Vision ADF should afford protection to key assets, in particular Salisbury Cathedral, the Conservation Area and Listed Buildings.

Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas are protected under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Listed Building Consent may therefore be required for any works to Listed Buildings prior to development commencing and Conservation Area Consent may be

required for any demolition works undertaken within the Conservation Area. It is recommended that consultation is undertaken with English Heritage and the Local Authority Conservation Team regarding cultural heritage and archaeology issues.

8.3.2 Effects of Individual Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework Projects

Project 1: Traffic Management and Linkages

The proposed traffic management strategy is intended to re-direct circulating traffic around the City Centre, maximising the use of the road network for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport. Project 1 will have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 7: To improve transport choice, including sustainable transport solutions, provide affordable and accessible transport to surrounding areas, and improve safety and reduce congestion on roads, and is also expected have a beneficial effect upon air quality and social inclusion in the Salisbury Vision area. The ADF should ensure provision of safe accessible bus stops and pedestrian/cycle crossing points and integrated footpaths/cycleway networks to encourage the use of more sustainable modes of transport. The ADF should also ensure public transport services meet local needs/deficiencies and make sure they are accessible, frequent and reliable. Suggested bus services are every 15 minutes at peak times and every 30 minutes at all other times between 7am and 10pm at a minimum.

Project 2: Public Transport

Provision of a series of transport stops next to key locations and the extension of services to Churchfields and Salisbury Station will help to improve transport choice. Project 2 will therefore have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 7: To improve transport choice, including sustainable transport solutions, provide affordable and accessible transport to surrounding areas, and improve safety and reduce congestion on roads and SA Objective 6: To improve provision of and accessibility to all services and facilities. The provision of sustainable transport solutions is also expected to improve accessibility, which will have a beneficial effect upon social inclusion, and could have an indirect benefit on air quality resulting from a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions associated with private vehicle use. The ADF should ensure provision of safe accessible bus stops to encourage the use of public transport. The ADF should also ensure public transport services meet local needs/deficiencies and make sure they are accessible, frequent and reliable. Suggested bus services are every 15 minutes at peak times and every 30 minutes at all other times between 7am and 10pm at a minimum.

Project 3: The Station Interchange

The development of a Station Interchange at Salisbury Railway Station will help to improve transport choice and accessibility within the Salisbury Vision area, therefore will have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 7: To improve transport choice, including sustainable transport solutions, provide affordable and accessible transport to surrounding areas, and

improve safety and reduce congestion on roads and SA Objective 6: To improve provision of and accessibility to all services and facilities. Public transport improvements will also improve accessibility within the Salisbury Vision area, which will have a beneficial effect upon social inclusion, and could have an indirect benefit on air quality resulting from a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions associated with private vehicle use. However, the ADF proposes new car parking provision; which may encourage private vehicle use. This moves away from SA Objective 7. Careful consideration should therefore be given to the provision of car parking spaces at the railway station. In addition, the ADF should further seek to ensure provision of safe and accessible bus stops and pedestrian/cycle crossing points and integrate footpath/cycleway networks to encourage use of more sustainable modes of transport.

Project 4: Southampton Road

The redevelopment of Southampton Road transport corridor, including the provision of bus/cycle lanes and increased local bus frequencies, may help to reduce traffic congestion and encourage use of more sustainable modes of transport. Project 3 will therefore have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 7: To improve transport choice, including sustainable transport solutions, provide affordable and accessible transport to surrounding areas, and improve safety and reduce congestion on roads. Transport improvements will also improve accessibility within the Salisbury Vision area, which will have a beneficial effect upon social inclusion. The ADF should provide safe accessible bus stops and pedestrian/cycle crossing points and integrate footpaths/cycleways to encourage use of more sustainable modes of transport. The ADF should also ensure public transport services meet local needs/deficiencies and make sure they are accessible, frequent and reliable. Suggested bus services are every 15 minutes at peak times and every 30 minutes at all other times between 7am and 10pm at a minimum.

Project 5: Parking Management

The proposed closure of a number of car parks within the City Centre and removal of on street car parks from the City Centre will help to encourage use of more sustainable modes of transport and may help to improve road safety and congestion. In addition, the ADF proposes a reduction in the number of spaces at private car parks. Project 4 therefore will have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 7: To improve transport choice, including sustainable transport solutions, provide affordable and accessible transport to surrounding areas, and improve safety and reduce congestion on roads. The ADF should provide safe accessible bus stops and pedestrian/cycle crossing points and integrate footpaths/cycleways to encourage use of more sustainable modes of transport.

Project 6: Central Car Park and Maltings

Proposed retail led mixed use development, including retail, residential, leisure, offices and a library, will help to facilitate economic growth and development, and will contribute towards the provision of affordable housing and services/facilities in the Salisbury Vision area. Project 6 will therefore have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 20: To facilitate sustainable economic growth, development and competitiveness of new and existing businesses in the Salisbury Vision area and SA Objective 2: To ensure that everybody has the opportunity of living in a decent and affordable home, and to reduce homelessness.

Redevelopment may, however, require the relocation of existing businesses. This may have an effect upon SA Objective 6: To improve provision of and accessibility to all services and facilities and SA Objective 20: To facilitate sustainable economic growth, development and competitiveness of new and existing businesses in the Salisbury Vision area. The ADF should ensure careful consideration is given to the relocation of existing land uses prior to redevelopment to ensure that existing facilities are situated in other appropriate and accessible locations.

There is the potential for development to have an adverse impact upon biodiversity and upon the integrity of the River Avon SAC if inappropriately developed, in particular given the close proximity of the River Avon. Protected species records are also held for the site (water vole, bullfinch and otter). However, the ADF proposes a number of measures that should help to protect and enhance biodiversity within the site and the surrounding area, including the need for development to consider the relationship and effect of development upon the SAC and SSSI. The ADF further states that development on designated sites should be avoided. Overall, Project 6 is therefore expected to have a beneficial effect upon SA Objectives 13 and 14. The ADF should afford protection to the River Avon SAC in all cases. AA will be required for any development that may have an adverse impact upon the SAC.

Project 7: Guildhall

The ADF proposes the refurbishment and re-use of whole or part of the Guildhall. New land uses within the Guildhall could potentially include civic and/or commercial town centre uses. Project 7 is therefore likely to have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 6: To improve provision of and accessibility to all services and facilities, and SA Objective 20: To facilitate sustainable economic growth, development and competitiveness of new and existing businesses in the Salisbury Vision area. Project 7 will also contribute towards the development of tourism and culture in the Salisbury Vision area.

The ADF states that refurbishment of the Guildhall should have due regard to the Listed status of the Guildhall, its architectural integrity and historic context. In addition, the ADF states the need to establish a 10 year maintenance programme to preserve the building. Project 7 will therefore have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 24: To protect, maintain and improve the built and

physical environment and cultural heritage of the Salisbury Vision area including Salisbury Cathedral, Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings.

Project 8 and 9: Salt Lane and Brown Street

Projects 8 and 9 propose development of affordable housing. These Projects will therefore have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 2: To ensure that everybody has the opportunity of living in a decent and affordable home, and to reduce homelessness and SA Objective 3: To reduce poverty and social exclusion and close the gap between the most deprived areas in the Salisbury Vision area and the rest of the District.

Project 10: Bus Station

Project 10 proposes development of affordable housing. It will therefore have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 2: To ensure that everybody has the opportunity of living in a decent and affordable home, and to reduce homelessness and SA Objective 3: To reduce poverty and social exclusion and close the gap between the most deprived areas in the Salisbury Vision area and the rest of the District.

The redevelopment of the Bus Station will require closure of the station and dispersal of its current function between public transport stops within the City Centre and the proposed Station Interchange. This may have a negative impact upon communities in the immediate vicinity of the Bus Station who may have to travel further to access current services, and will result in the relocation of an important central facility. This therefore moves away from SA Objective 6: To improve provision of and accessibility to all services and facilities. There is a need to ensure that existing service provision at the Bus Station can be distributed and catered for in appropriate, accessible locations. Replacement bus services should be connected appropriately to ensure there is no adverse effect on accessibility.

Project 11: Bus Depot

Project 11 proposes development of a new Salisbury College, including high quality learning centre facilities. In addition, the ADF states that development should facilitate links between business and education in Salisbury District. Project 11 will therefore have a major beneficial

effect upon SA Objective 19: To raise educational attainment levels and develop opportunities for everyone to acquire the skills to find and remain in work. The new College will also contribute towards provision of services and facilities in the Salisbury Vision area and may help to reduce social exclusion and isolation, and to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in the Salisbury Vision area.

Project 12: Old Manor Hospital

Project 12 the redevelopment of the Old Manor Hospital site in accordance with the principles established in the existing development brief for the site. New land uses will include medical facilities, key worker housing and offices. Project 12 will therefore have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 4: To improve the health and well being of the population and reduce inequalities in health and SA Objective 6: To improve provision of and accessibility to all services and facilities. Project 12 will also have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 2: To ensure that everybody has the opportunity of living in a decent and affordable home, and to reduce homelessness and SA Objective 3: To reduce poverty and social exclusion and close the gap between the most deprived areas in the Salisbury Vision area and the rest of the District. The development also maximises the use of brownfield land.

Inappropriate development could impact upon cultural heritage and archaeology; a number of Listed Buildings exist within the development site, and the site is located within a Conservation Area. However, the ADF acknowledges the need to ensure the retention of, and have regard for, Listed Buildings and the ADF states that the scale, massing and height of any proposed development should be considered in relation to that of adjoining buildings, the topography, the general pattern of heights and the area and views, vistas and landmarks. Project 12 is therefore expected to have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 24: To protect, maintain and improve the built and physical environment and cultural heritage of the Salisbury Vision area, including Salisbury Cathedral, Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings.

Project 13: Chipper Lane/Scots Lane

Project 13 proposes development of affordable housing, therefore will have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 2: To ensure that everybody has the opportunity of living in a decent and affordable home, and to reduce homelessness and SA Objective 3: To reduce poverty and social exclusion and close the gap between the most deprived areas in the Salisbury Vision area and the rest of the District.

Inappropriate development could impact upon cultural heritage and archaeology; a number of Listed Buildings and known sites of archaeological importance exist within the development site, and the site is located within a Conservation Area. However, the ADF acknowledges the need ensure the sensitive conversion of any Listed Buildings, preserving and enhancing their character, and states that the scale, massing and height of any proposed development should be considered in relation to that of adjoining buildings, the topography, the general pattern of heights

and the area and views, vistas and landmarks. Project 13 is therefore expected to have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 24: To protect, maintain and improve the built and physical environment and cultural heritage of the Salisbury Vision area, including Salisbury Cathedral, Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings. Consultation is recommended with English Heritage and the Local Authority Conservation Team with regards the Listed Buildings, sites of archaeological importance and the Conservation Area.

Project 14: Churchfields

Project 14 proposes development of affordable housing on the Churchfields estate. The project will therefore have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 2: To ensure that everybody has the opportunity of living in a decent and affordable home, and to reduce homelessness and SA Objective 3: To reduce poverty and social exclusion and close the gap between the most deprived areas in the Salisbury Vision area and the rest of the District. The proposed development is also expected to have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 12: To conserve and enhance the landscape of the Salisbury Vision area and surrounding areas, in particular the River Avon and the Watermeadows and contributes towards the economic regeneration of the area. HGV traffic travelling through the centre of town to the site also has a significant impact upon air quality. The removal of current businesses elsewhere will therefore have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 18: To improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Project 14 is also expected to have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 11: To increase energy efficiency including that of buildings and to promote the generation of renewable energy sources and SA Objective 17: To maintain and improve the water quality and quantity of the Salisbury Vision area rivers, particularly the River Avon, and to ensure that water efficiency measures are implemented. In addition to the ADF’s commitment to meet BREEAM/EcoHomes of at least ‘Very Good’ the ADF further proposes that grey water recycling, combined heating and power units and other renewable energy sources will be implemented across at least 50% of the Churchfields site.

The redevelopment of Churchfields, will, however, require the relocation of existing businesses and requiring a considerable amount of land to be identified elsewhere, which may have an adverse impact upon the local economy, and could result in the development of greenfield land. Existing uses are, however, considered inappropriate to their location and the principal landowners have expressed positive interest in the redevelopment of the site. The ADF also acknowledges the need to ensure that existing businesses are retained in the Salisbury District.

The ADF should ensure careful consideration is given to the relocation of the existing land uses prior to redevelopment to ensure that existing facilities are situated in appropriate and accessible locations. The ADF should also seek to ensure priority is given to more sustainable modes of transport to discourage use of the private car and provide safe and accessible bus stops and pedestrian/cycle ways as part of development.

There is the potential for development to have an adverse impact upon biodiversity and upon the integrity of the River Avon SAC if inappropriately developed, in particular given the close proximity of the River Avon. Protected species records are also held for the site (water vole, snipe and bats). However, the ADF proposes a number of measures that should help to protect and enhance biodiversity within the site and the surrounding area. Overall, Project 14 is therefore expected to have a beneficial effect upon SA Objectives 13 and 14. The ADF should afford protection to the River Avon SAC in all cases. AA will be required for any development that may have an adverse impact upon the SAC.

Project 15: Eastern Gateway

Project 15 proposes development of affordable housing at the Eastern Gateway. The project will therefore have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 2: To ensure that everybody has the opportunity of living in a decent and affordable home, and to reduce homelessness and SA Objective 3: To reduce poverty and social exclusion and close the gap between the most deprived areas in the Salisbury Vision area and the rest of the District. The proposed development will also contribute towards the provision of services/facilities in the Salisbury Vision area.

Redevelopment will, however, require the relocation of existing services and facilities to other areas around the city requiring a considerable amount alternative land to be identified elsewhere. This may have an effect upon SA Objective 6: To improve provision of and accessibility to all services and facilities and SA Objective 20: To facilitate sustainable economic growth, development and competitiveness of new and existing businesses in the Salisbury Vision area. The ADF should ensure careful consideration is given to the relocation of existing land uses prior to redevelopment to ensure that the existing facilities are situated in other appropriate and accessible locations.

There is the potential for development to have an adverse impact upon biodiversity and upon the integrity of the River Avon if inappropriately developed, in particular given the close proximity of the River Avon SAC. Protected species records are also held for the site (water vole, otter and brown hare). However, the ADF proposes a number of measures that should help to protect and enhance biodiversity within the site and the surrounding area. Overall, Project 15 is therefore expected to have a beneficial effect upon SA Objectives 13 and 14. The ADF should afford protection to the River Avon SAC in all cases. AA will be required for any development that may have an adverse impact upon the SAC.

Project 16: The Friary

Project 16 proposes development of affordable housing. The project will therefore have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 2: To ensure that everybody has the opportunity of living in a decent and affordable home, and to reduce homelessness. Housing development proposed at the Friary will, however, result in the loss of existing residential homes. Residents currently living in the Friary will therefore need to be relocated elsewhere either permanently or temporarily. There is also the potential that new housing to be sold may not be affordable for people already living in the local community, who might have to sell their homes to make way for the new housing development. The ADF does, however, acknowledge that there will be a need to find appropriate permanent or temporary relocations to tenants to other parts of Salisbury City Centre or elsewhere as they prefer. In addition, the ADF states that a detailed management plan will be required to address issues of phasing, decanting and relcation. Existing residents should be given priority over new residential development. In addition, a mechanism should be put in place so that

existing home owners in the Friary will be able to buy new homes within the Salisbury Vision area once the redevelopment is complete.

Project 17: The Market Place

Project 17 proposes the improvement and enhancement of the Market Place with the aim of creating a high quality focal space. This is intended as a lively and active space in which people can interact and will contribute to economic regeneration and the development of tourism/culture in the Salisbury Vision area. Improvements to the Market Place are therefore likely to have a beneficial effect upon a number of SA objectives, including SA Objective 8: To ensure a fully inclusive environment, including addressing the needs of the young and old, those with disabilities and diverse groups and SA Objective 20: To facilitate sustainable economic growth, development and competitiveness of new and existing businesses in the Salisbury Vision area. The ADF further proposes rationalisation of parking and measures to make the area more pedestrian orientated. These measures will have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 7: To improve transport choice, including sustainable transport solutions, provide affordable and accessible transport to surrounding areas, and improve safety and reduce congestion on roads. The ADF should ensure the provision of safe and accessible bus stops and pedestrian/cycle crossing points. Such measures will help to encourage use of more sustainable modes of transport.

Project 18: Fisherton Square

The development of a new city square and associated public realm improvements is likely to have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 8: To ensure a fully inclusive environment, including addressing the needs of the young and old, those with disabilities and diverse groups and SA Objective 20: To facilitate sustainable economic growth, development and competitiveness of new and existing businesses in the Salisbury Vision area.

Development of the new square will, however, require demolition of a part of Fisherton Street, which may result in the loss of existing residential properties. Residents may therefore need to be relocated elsewhere and there is potential that new housing to be sold within the Salisbury Vision area may not be affordable for people already living in the local community. No new residential development is proposed at Fisherton Street as part of the project. The project therefore moves away from SA Objective 2: To ensure that everybody has the opportunity of living in a decent and affordable home, and to reduce homelessness and SA Objective 3: To reduce poverty and social exclusion and close the gap between the most deprived areas in the Salisbury Vision area and the rest of the District. The ADF should ensure that a suitable relocation plan is put in place and existing residents should be given priority over new residential development. In addition, a mechanism should be put in place so that existing home owners in Fisherton Street will be able to buy new homes within the Salisbury Vision area once the redevelopment is complete.

Demolition of part of Fisherton Street may also result in the loss of existing businesses, which will need to be relocated elsewhere. This moves away from SA Objective 6: To improve provision and accessibility to all services and facilities and may also have an effect on economic regeneration and tourism. The ADF should ensure careful consideration is given to the relocation of the existing businesses prior to the redevelopment to ensure that they are relocated to another appropriate and accessible location.

There is potential for development to have an adverse effect upon biodiversity, in particular the demolition of old buildings, which may provide a suitable habitat for bats. The Wiltshire and Swindon Biological Records Centre hold a record for Pipistrelle bat on the site. However, the ADF proposes a number of measures that should help to protect and enhance biodiversity within the site and the surrounding area.

In addition, development may have an adverse effect upon SA Objective 24: To protect, maintain and improve the built and physical environment and cultural heritage of the Salisbury Vision area including Salisbury Cathedral, Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings, in particular demolition works proposed. There are a number of Listed Buildings and known sites of archaeological importance along Fisherton Street, the site also is located within a Conservation Area. There is potential for unknown sites of archaeological importance. Consultation is recommended with English Heritage and the Local Authority Conservation Team with regards the Listed Buildings, sites of archaeological importance and the Conservation Area.

Project 19: Salisbury Chequers

Project 19 proposes high quality public realm treatment within the streets at the central core of Salisbury City Centre to coincide with those tertiary routes proposed in Project 1, including measures to make the streets more pedestrian orientated and rationalisation of parking. These measures should help to encourage use of more sustainable modes of transport and will help to facilitate economic growth and tourism. Project 19 is therefore expected to have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 7: To improve transport choice, including sustainable transport solutions, provide affordable and accessible transport to surrounding areas, and improve safety and reduce congestion on roads, SA Objective 20: To facilitate sustainable economic growth, development and competitiveness of new and existing businesses in the Salisbury Vision area and SA Objective 22: To promote sustainable tourism and cultural activities in the Salisbury Vision area.

Project 20: Harnham Eco-Park

Project 20 proposes the reinvention of the Watermeadows into an eco-park, including boardwalks, and provision of a learning/education/information centre and A3 uses (food and drink), and a small urban farm. This will contribute to the development of sustainable tourism in Salisbury and will improve access to natural green space. Project 9 is therefore likely to have a

major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 9: To improve accessibility to natural green space in the Salisbury Vision area and to the surrounding countryside and SA Objective 22: To promote sustainable tourism and cultural activities in the Salisbury Vision area. The proposed eco-park is also expected to have education and health benefits and may also help to encourage social interaction.

The installation of buildings and increased public access to the Watermeadows may have an adverse effect upon SA Objective 13: To conserve and enhance the biodiversity, in particular BAP habitats and species, and geodiversity of the Salisbury Vision area and SA Objective 14: To ensure no adverse effect on the integrity of the River Avon designated under the Habitats Regulations (through Appropriate Assessment). The ADF does, however, recognise the need to ensure sensitive design and location and acknowledges the need to undertake consultation with the Environment Agency, the Harnham Watermeadows Trust and Wiltshire Wildlife Trust to understand more fully the implications of the development on the Watermeadows. In addition, the ADF recognises the need to complete more detailed baseline surveys. These measures should mitigate against any potential effects upon the River Avon and the Watermeadows. The ADF should afford protection to the River Avon SAC and the Harnham Watermeadows SAC in all cases. AA will be required for any development that may have an adverse impact upon the SAC. Consultation with statutory consultees (in particular Natural England and the Environment Agency) is recommended as soon as possible.

The installation of buildings and other infrastructure associated with the eco-park may result in loss of green space at the Watermeadows. The ADF should maintain existing natural green space in accordance with English Nature’s Space for Nature Guidelines. In addition, there is a need to ensure that greenfield land is not used for inappropriate development, e.g. A3 uses. Buildings and associated infrastructure should link to existing built form on the edge of the Watermeadows as opposed to stand alone development.

Re-invention of the Watermeadows could have an adverse effect upon SA Objective 15: To reduce the risk of flooding. The Watermeadows are designated floodplain and are a key area in reducing flood risk to Salisbury. The ADF does, however, recognise the need to carefully consider the effect that transforming the Watermeadows will have on flood risk and the need to undertake consultation with the Environment Agency. These measures will help to mitigate any adverse effects upon flood risk. There is potential that the Watermeadows may support a SuDS for Churchfields, which will have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 15.

Project 21: The Green Necklace

Project 21 proposes the creation of a green necklace around the City Centre comprising of boulevard planting linking to areas of open space in the south. The project is expected to help offset emissions produced by cars, thereby helping to improve air quality. The green necklace will also support biodiversity and will have an beneficial effect upon the landscape of the Salisbury Vision area. Project 22 is therefore likely to have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 18: To improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, SA Objective 12: To conserve and enhance the landscape of the Salisbury Vision area and surrounding areas, in particular the River Avon and the Watermeadows and SA Objective 13: To conserve and enhance the biodiversity, in particular BAP habitats and species, and geodiversity of the Salisbury Vision area. The green necklace should also have indirect health benefits associated with air quality improvements.

Project 22: Confluence Park

Project 22 proposes the creation of a new city park, a significant area of which will be green space. Project 23 therefore will have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 9: To improve accessibility to natural green space in the Salisbury Vision area and to the surrounding countryside. Project 22 will also help to encourage social interaction and may contribute towards improving air quality, which also has associated health benefits. The new park will further improve and enhance the existing landscape and will contribute towards economic growth and tourism.

However, the development of the new city park may result in the loss of existing buildings, including NHS Medical facilities, which will need to be relocated elsewhere. This moves away from SA Objective 6: To improve provision and accessibility to all services and facilities and SA Objective 4: To improve the health and well being of the population and reduce inequalities in health. The ADF should ensure careful consideration is given to the relocation of the existing businesses prior to the redevelopment to ensure that they are relocated to another appropriate and accessible location. Medical facilities should be provided elsewhere to compensate for closure of existing facilities on the site.

The proposed new park will be a significant green element, providing a more sensitive setting for the River Avon, which may have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 13: To conserve and enhance the biodiversity, in particular BAP habitats and species, and geodiversity of the Salisbury Vision area and SA Objective 14: To ensure no adverse effect on the integrity of the River Avon designated under the Habitats Regulations (through AA). The new park could, however, have an adverse effect upon SA Objectives 13 and 14 if inappropriately developed, in particular the proposed expansion of the watercourse to improve the waterside experience. The Wiltshire and Swindon Biological Records Centre also hold protected records for otter and water vole on the site. However, the ADF proposes a number of measures that should help to protect and enhance biodiversity within the site and the surrounding area, and the ADF acknowledges the need to consider the potential effect of development upon the SSSI and SAC, including the expansion of the watercourses. Overall, Project 22 is therefore expected to have a beneficial effect upon SA Objectives 13 and 14. The ADF should afford protection to the River Avon SAC in all cases. AA will be required for any development that may have an adverse impact upon the SAC.

Development of the new park may have an adverse effect upon SA Objective 15: To reduce the risk of flooding. The proposed new park is located adjacent to the River Avon, the banks of which are designated floodplain. The expansion of the watercourse may also have an adverse effect if inappropriately developed. However, there is potential that the new park may reduce surface run- off rates, which will have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 15. Overall flood risk should be reduced in accordance with PPS 25: Development and Flood Risk.

Project 23 proposes improvements and enhancements to Greencroft Gardens that will complement the role of the adjacent Arts Centre as a new cultural attraction and destination. This will include new artistic installations and inclusion of high quality contemporary public realm elements. Project 23 is therefore expected to have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 22: To promote sustainable tourism and cultural activities in the Salisbury Vision area. The project will also contribute towards economic growth and tourism and may help to encourage social interaction.

Improvements and enhancements to Churchill Gardens, including the provision of new sports and recreation facilities and playing fields is likely have a major beneficial effect upon SA Objective 4: To improve the health and well being of the population and reduce inequalities in health. Project 24 further proposes the creation of a system of interconnected pathways, which will help to improve access to the natural green space. This will have a beneficial effect upon SA Objective 9: Improve accessibility to natural green space in the Salisbury Vision area and to the surrounding countryside. Project 24 may also help to encourage social interaction and will contribute towards economic growth and tourism.

8.4 Mitigation

8.4.1 Introduction

In order to maximise the beneficial effects and minimise the adverse effects of the Salisbury Vision ADF, a series of mitigation measures have been developed. These should be implemented by Salisbury District Council as part of the Salisbury Vision ADF. It should be noted that these are suggested mitigation measures only and that Salisbury District Council will determine their implementation.

The following hierarchy is used when determining mitigation measures for adverse impacts:

• Prevent impacts as far as possible by designing out or using preventative measures during the construction process. • Reduce impacts as far as possible by using preventative measures to minimise effects. • Offset impacts to compensate for unavoidable effects that cannot be further reduced.

Mitigation measures can be incorporated at three stages of the development:

• During preparation of the Salisbury Vision ADF in order to design out or reduce adverse impacts, and to maximise beneficial impacts. • During construction in order to minimise adverse impacts/maximise beneficial impacts arising during the construction process. • Following development in order to minimise impacts/maximise beneficial impacts arising during the post implementation phase.

8.4.2 Mitigation Measures for the Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework

The Salisbury Vision ADF presents significant opportunities to make use of best practice sustainable design and construction techniques. This includes maximising the use of brownfield land, the use of recycled materials in construction, the use of energy efficient lighting and heating systems, the use of SuDS and provision of facilities for household recycling and composting. Developments should achieve BREEAM/EcoHomes ratings of at least ‘Very Good’ and ‘Excellent’ where possible. In addition, the Salisbury Vision ADF presents a significant opportunity to encourage use of more sustainable modes of transport through provision of frequent, accessible and reliable public transport services, and through the development of an integrated network of footpaths and cycle ways within the Salisbury Vision area. The Salisbury Vision ADF further presents a number of opportunities to maintain and enhance existing green space and open space in the Salisbury Vision area, which will have biodiversity and health benefits.

Suggested mitigation measures (not an exhaustive list) are given below. Detailed mitigation measures are presented in Appendix G in relation to each of the SA objectives.

• Ensure there is adequate housing provision to accommodate existing residents in those areas where redevelopment is proposed and ensure these residents are given priority over new development. • Ensure a suitable housing relocation plan is put in place prior to redevelopment of those sites which may require the relocation of existing residents. • Ensure a mechanism is put in place so that existing home owners in those areas where redevelopment is proposed will be able to buy new homes within the Salisbury Vision area once development is complete. • Ensure transport services provided meet local needs/deficiencies. • Ensure bus services are frequent, accessible and reliable. Suggested bus frequencies are every 15 minutes at peak times and every 30 minutes at all other times between 7am and 10pm at a minimum. • Ensure adequate access to/provision of key services and facilities that suitably meet the needs of a vibrant, balanced community. • Undertake consultation with the Police Architectural Liaison Officer to determine how best to integrate crime prevention into the design of development.

• Ensure careful consideration is given to the relocation of existing businesses prior to redevelopment to ensure that these facilities are situated in appropriate and accessible locations. • Provide safe and accessible bus stops and pedestrian/cycle crossing points and integrated footpaths/cycleway networks. • Provide lockable cycle storage as part of new development and space for cycles within residential homes. • Give careful consideration to the provision of car parking and ensure focus is placed upon encouraging use of more sustainable modes of transport. • Maintain and enhance existing natural green space in accordance with English Nature Space for Nature Guidelines. • Ensure development maximises use of brownfield land, including the re-use of existing buildings, and re-use/recycling of materials from buildings where appropriate. • Consider higher density development, to release areas of land which can be retained as green space. • Ensure that greenfield land is not used for inappropriate development e.g. A3 uses. • Ensure development on the watermeadows links closely to the existing settlement, as opposed to stand alone development. • Make best use of insulation and energy efficient heating systems. • Ensure that dwellings are orientated so that main living spaces face within 45° of south. • Undertake a renewable energy feasibility study and implement renewable energy in line with the study’s recommendations. • Install energy efficient light fittings within buildings and street lighting. • In homes, provide white goods which are ‘A’ rated under the EU Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme. • Seek landscape advice from a qualified Landscape Architect at the start of the detailed design process, to minimise potential adverse effects of development upon landscape/townscape and to maximise the potential benefits. • Seek ecological advice from qualified ecologists at the start of the detailed design process to minimise potential adverse effects of development on biodiversity and maximise the potential benefits. • Undertake ecological surveys where appropriate. • Ensure careful consideration is given to the potential impact of development on surface water run-off and flood risk, including the current and future impacts associated with climate change. • Reduce overall flood risk in accordance with PPS 25: Development and Flood Risk. • Adopt best practice during development design and construction, including the incorporation of SuDS. • Place restrictions on new development to protect groundwater, as detailed in the Policy and Practice for the Protection of Groundwater. • Ensure contaminated land is remediated in accordance with best practice guidelines - PPS 23: Planning and Pollution Control and the Environment Agency Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination (CLR11). • Ensure the relevant Environment Agency Pollution Prevention Guidelines are adhered to. • Install rainwater collection systems and/or greywater recycling systems. • Install toilets with 6/4 litre or 4/2 litre cisterns and showers with flows of less than 9 litres per minute. • Provide a home users guide including information on water consumption and tips on how to reduce water use. • Ensure the provision of accessible waste disposal and recycling bins within new development and provide at least three bins for each house in a dedicated position (internal) for storage of recyclable waste. • Implement water conservation measures to reduce water demand and thus protect groundwater resources as detailed in the Policy and Practice for the Protection of Groundwater. • Install low NOx emitting boilers in new buildings. • Employ contractors registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme.

• Ensure the provision of appropriate information and computer technology infrastructure to support business. • Support appropriate sustainable cultural activities and sustainable tourism related development. • Undertake an archaeological watching brief, and, if necessary, mitigate as recommended by a qualified Archaeologist. • Consult with English Heritage and other relevant consultees regarding the potential impact of development on cultural heritage and archaeology.

Under Regulation 48 of the Conservation (Natural Habitats &c) (Amendment) (England and Wales) Regulations 2006 (Habitats Regulations) AA will be required for any development that may have an adverse effect upon the integrity of the River Avon SAC and Harnham Watermeadows SAC. It is therefore strongly recommended that consultation is undertaken with Natural England and other relevant consultees as soon as possible to determine the potential need for AA.

9.0 IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING

9.1 Next Steps

The next steps of the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and associated steps of the Salisbury Vision Area Development Framework (ADF) are detailed in Table 9.1.

9.2 Links to the Planning Process

As detailed in Section 4.2 Salisbury District Council (as the Local Planning Authority for Salisbury District) are currently in the process of developing a Local Development Framework (LDF) for Salisbury District. The LDF will replace the existing Adopted Local Plan in setting out guidelines for the future development of the Salisbury District.

As part of the LDF Salisbury District Council intend to produce an Area Action Plan (AAP) for Salisbury City. This will be a statutory Development Plan Document (DPD) under the LDF and will contain policies and proposals that are specific to Salisbury City. The AAP will focus upon implementation, providing an important mechanism for ensuring development of an appropriate scale, mix and quality for key areas of opportunity, change or conservation.

It is anticipated that the Salisbury Vision ADF is intended to feature prominently within the wider AAP being pursued by Salisbury District Council for the whole of Salisbury as part of its emerging LDF.

9.3 Proposals for Monitoring

Monitoring is an important part of SA because it ensures that the process is ongoing and does not simply end once the Salisbury Vision ADF has been adopted. Monitoring will enable Salisbury

District Council to determine whether the implementation of the Salisbury Vision ADF is working towards achievement of the SA objectives.

A set of targets and indicators have been developed which could potentially be used for monitoring purposes. These were determined using the SA objectives, the key issues identified and the review of plans and programmes. Targets and indicators for each SA objective are presented in Appendix G. It should be noted that these are suggested targets and indicators only and that Salisbury District Council will determine the exact nature of monitoring for the Salisbury Vision ADF.

This report is prepared for the proposed uses stated in the report and should not be used in a different context without reference to WYGE. In time improved practices, fresh information or amended legislation may necessitate a re-assessment. Opinions and information provided in this report are on the basis of WYGE using due skill and care in the preparation of the report.

This report refers, within the limitations stated, to the environment of the site in the context of the surrounding area at the time of the inspections. Environmental conditions can vary and no warranty is given as to the possibility of changes in the environment of the site and surrounding area at differing times.

This report is limited to those aspects reported on, within the scope and limits agreed with the client under our appointment. It is necessarily restricted and no liability is accepted for any other aspect. It is based on the information sources indicated in the report. Some of the opinions are based on unconfirmed data and information and are presented as the best obtained within the scope for this report.

Reliance has been placed on the documents and information supplied to WYGE by others but no independent verification of these has been made and no warranty is given on them. No liability is accepted or warranty given in relation to the performance, reliability, standing etc of any products, services, organisations or companies referred to in this report.

Whilst skill and care have been used, no investigative method can eliminate the possibility of obtaining partially imprecise, incomplete or not fully representative information. Any monitoring or survey work undertaken as part of the commission will have been subject to limitations, including for example timescale, seasonal and weather related conditions.

Although care is taken to select monitoring and survey periods that are typical of the environmental conditions being measured, within the overall reporting programme constraints, measured conditions may not be fully representative of the actual conditions. Any predictive or modelling work, undertaken as part of the commission will be subject to limitations including the representativeness of data used by the model and the assumptions inherent within the approach used. Actual environmental conditions are typically more complex and variable than the investigative, predictive and modelling approaches indicate in practice, and the output of such approaches cannot be relied upon as a comprehensive or accurate indicator of future conditions.

The potential influence of our assessment and report on other aspects of any development or future planning requires evaluation by other involved parties.

The performance of environmental protection measures and of buildings and other structures in relation to acoustics, vibration, noise mitigation and other environmental issues is influenced to a large extent by the degree to which the relevant environmental considerations are incorporated into the final design and specifications and the quality of workmanship and compliance with the specifications on site during construction. WYGE accept no liability for issues with performance arising from such factors

This is helpful to all with an interest in the City to have a single, holistic and comprehensive framework to help guide its future and to assist in decision making, at all levels, which needs to be made along the way.
