Consideration Report for Delegated Decision by Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic

Development 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal

Expected Date of Decision 10 February 2020

Crawley Local Development Scheme 2020 – 2023

Report of the Head of Economy and Planning: Report Number PES/345

1. Purpose

1.1 To approve and adopt the Crawley Local Development Scheme 2020 - 2023.

1.2 The Local Development Scheme (LDS) outlines the number and scope of the Local Development Documents the council intends to bring forward and sets the programme for how these will be progressed over the forthcoming four years.

1.3 This LDS updates and replaces the current adopted Local Development Scheme 2019 – 2022.

2. Recommendations

2.1 The Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Development is recommended to approve the updated Crawley Local Development Scheme 2020 – 2023 (Appendix A to this report) as the adopted Local Development Scheme for the Local Planning Authority.

3. Reasons for the Recommendations

3.1 Crawley Borough Council is required by law to prepare and maintain a LDS, and the Crawley Local Plan Review, and any other Development Plan Documents, must be prepared in conformity with the timetable set out by the scheme.

3.2 The new LDS updates the Local Plan Review timetable which was agreed in November 2019 by Head of Economy and Planning decision. It sets the timetable for the preparation and delivery of an Area Action Plan (AAP) for North Crawley, as established by the Submission draft Local Plan 2020 – 2035 (agreed at Full Council on 16 December 2019).

3.3 The new commitment introduced by Policy SD3 in the Submission draft Local Plan for the North Crawley AAP confirms the council will commence this work within three months of the adoption of the Local Plan. This commitment is expressed, along with setting the detailed timetable for the production of the AAP, in the revised LDS 2020 – 2023.

3.4 With the exception of the commitment to the production of the Area Action Plan, the document remains largely the same as the previous version, with some minor

Page 15 Agenda Item 4 updates to the details of the Local Plan Review programme to reflect the current factual position.

4. Background

4.1 The current LDS was adopted by Head of Economy and Planning in November 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal 2019. It covers the period 2019 – 2022.

4.2 The 2019 LDS agreed the timetable for the Local Plan Review to be carried out in order to maintain an up-to-date Local Plan meeting the government’s requirement for Local Plans to be reviewed every five years.

4.3 In addition, it set the scope and timetable for the remaining planning documents identified to be produced to support the adopted Local Plan.

4.4 Since the approval of the 2019 LDS, the draft Local Plan Review has been considered at Full Council, and received Council approval for its Publication and Submission to the Secretary of State for its independent examination.

5. Description of Issue to be resolved

5.1 Since the adoption of the 2019 LDS, Full Council approval of the Submission draft Local Plan has committed the council to the preparation of an Area Action Plan (AAP) for land in the north of Crawley, south and east of Gatwick Airport which was previously safeguarded for an additional southern runway.

5.2 To prevent unconstrained development of this land (some 613 hectares), the AAP will establish the planning framework for development and land use designations in this area.

5.3 As a Development Plan Document, the timetable for the preparation of the AAP must be set out in the council’s current Local Development Scheme.

6. Information & Analysis Supporting Recommendation

6.1 The draft LDS (2020 – 2023) is attached as Appendix A

Local Plan Review

6.2 The current LDS commits the council to a detailed timetable for the Local Plan Review. To date, this timetable has been met; with Regulation 19 Formal Public Consultation commencing on 20 January for a six week period until 2 March 2020.

6.3 Notwithstanding this, several pieces of critical evidence is still in the process of being undertaken, and it is not considered appropriate to submit the Plan for Examination until some degree of certainty is arrived at in relation to emerging outcomes for these, in particular in relation to Transport Modelling and Viability. On this basis, there is a minor alteration to the Submission date for the Local Plan to the Secretary of State to April 2020. The detailed timetable is now:

Page 16 Agenda Item 4

Key Milestone Date Early Engagement Public Consultation (Reg. 18) July – September 2019 Publication Formal Public Consultation (Reg. 19) January – March 2020 Submission to SoS April 2020 Examination Hearing Sessions (anticipated) July 2020 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal Receipt of Inspector’s Report (anticipated) October 2020 Adoption December 2020

6.4 The timetable maintains the position for an adoption date within five years of the current Local Plan. This is recognised as an optimistic date, and may need to be updated subsequently, in future versions of the LDS, as the dates from the point of submission are out of the control of the council and in the hands of the Planning Inspectorate. Furthermore, depending upon the Inspector’s findings during examination, there may be a further stage of public consultation with modifications required. However, the council will only be submitting a Plan to the Secretary of State for examination that it considers to be legally compliant and sound, and, as such, the dates set out above are the minimum which can be anticipated.

North Crawley Area Action Plan

6.5 In accordance with the Local Plan Policy, the timetable for the AAP has been set to commence three months following the adoption of the Local Plan. The LDS establishes the following initial timetable for its production:

Key Milestone Date Evidence Gathering and Informal Early Engagement Spring – Summer 2021 Early Engagement Public Consultation (Reg. 18) Summer – Autumn 2021 Publication Formal Public Consultation (Reg. 19) Spring 2022 Submission to SoS Summer 2022 Examination Hearing Sessions (anticipated) Autumn 2022 Receipt of Inspector’s Report (anticipated) Early 2023 Adoption Spring 2023

Supplementary Planning Documents

6.6 In addition to the Local Plan Review, the LDS also updates the production and review of a number of supporting planning documents, including the Community Infrastructure Levy, SPDs, Brownfield Land Register, Local List, and the Statement of Community Involvement. Each of the currently adopted SPDs will require review and updating to bring them in conformity with the changes introduced by the Local Plan Review, once this is adopted.

7. Implications

7.1 Crawley Borough Council is required by law (under Section 15 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, as amended by Section 111 of the Localism Act 2011) to prepare and maintain a LDS, and it is necessary for the Local Plan and any other Development Plan Documents such as the AAP to be prepared in conformity with the council’s adopted LDS. Not adopting an up-to-date LDS would place the council in breach of one of its statutory functions.

7.2 The LDS sets the policy-related work programme for the Forward Planning team over the coming four-year period. This is a legal requirement and sets out how resources will be prioritised to meet the wider expectations and requirements for the

Page 17 Agenda Item 4 council’s policy planning service. Without a comprehensive and up-to-date LDS, the priorities for the council in the delivery of planning documents would be unclear.

7.3 Whilst there is a legislative requirement for Local Planning Authorities to maintain and publish an up-to-date LDS, it is not a document which is subject to public consultation. 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal 7.4 There are no financial implications associated with the adoption of the LDS outside of the provision made within existing budgets. Notwithstanding this, the AAP work has not yet been scoped, and so the detailed financial implications associated with this is currently unknown. A full budget report will be prepared in the future, once the position on the APP through the Local Plan is established.

7.5 The legal implications are addressed in the report.

Executive Summary Crawley’s Local Development Scheme (LDS) covers the period January 2020 to December 2023. 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal It provides a structure for the review of the adopted Crawley Borough Local Plan and the committed North Crawley Area Action Plan, as well as updating the programme to show the preparation of Supplementary Planning Documents and other planning documents. The Crawley Borough Local Plan was adopted by Full Council on 16 December 2015. It covers the period 2015 – 2030 and provides the borough’s full planning policies for the purpose of development management decisions. However, since its adoption, central government initiatives have introduced changes to national legislation, policy and requirements. In particular, the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2017 established the statutory requirement that Local Plans must be reviewed at least every five years, in accordance with legislation set by the Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017. In addition, the revised National Planning Policy Framework was published in February 2019. Alongside this, updates have been made to the Planning Practice Guidance, including introducing the national Standardised Housing Methodology. In order to adequately take account of the national position alongside the local evidence, a review of the Local Plan has commenced. The LDS provides the structure within which the Plan Review will take place and sets the timetable for the review programme. The LDS also:  identifies the supporting evidence required for the Local Plan Review;  sets the timetable for the North Crawley Area Action Plan, committed within Policy SD3 of the Submission draft Crawley Local Plan 2020 – 2035;  details the Supplementary Planning Documents to be prepared by the council during the LDS period;  establishes the accompanying planning documents required to be published and maintained by the council;  considers the position in relation to a review of the Community Infrastructure Levy; and  outlines the existing plans and documents that will continue to be employed until they are replaced or deemed redundant. This LDS updates and replaces the previous version, Crawley Borough Council’s Local Development Scheme 2019-2021, which was adopted by the council in October 2019.

Page 23 Agenda Item 4 Appendix a Crawley Local Development Scheme 2020 – 2023

1. Introduction 1.1 The Local Development Scheme (LDS) outlines the number and scope of the Local Development Documents the council intends to bring forward and sets the programme for how these will be progressed over the forthcoming years. 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal 1.2 Document profiles for each of the planning policy documents are included in this LDS and outline a brief description of the document, its status, the matters it will address and the milestones that the document will be produced against.

2. The Local Plan 2.1 The Neighbourhood Planning Act 20171 clarifies that each local planning authority must identify the strategic priorities for the development and use of land in the authority’s area. Policies to address these priorities must be set out in the authority’s development plan documents. 2.2 For Crawley, this could be in the form of a single Local Plan or Joint Plan with neighbouring authorities, or a suite of documents which together, taken as a whole, cover the policies to address the strategic priorities. This should include the planning policies needed to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development, the allocation of land to deliver the area’s housing requirement along with other types of development and/or land uses. 2.3 Non-strategic policies (such as Development Management and site allocation policies) to guide the determination of applications for planning permission can be included within the same Plan or within a separate focused development plan document. 2.4 The Crawley Borough Local Plan was adopted by resolution of Full Council in December 2015, following the receipt of the independent Planning Inspector’s final report, which concluded that the Plan was legally compliant and ‘sound’. 2.5 The adopted Local Plan provides the council with the planning policy framework to determine planning applications against over the Plan period 2015 – 2030. It sets the housing delivery target to enable the monitoring of the borough’s five- year land supply and allocates a number of sites for development to meet the needs of the borough over the Plan period and designates other sites for protection. 2.6 The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2017 established a requirement for local planning authorities to review their local development documents at least every five years2. The updated National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) introduced the need for the council to consider whether to update the document following each review3. Where it is determined not to revise the document, the reasons for considering that no revisions are necessary must be published4.

Joint Plan: 2.7 Joint working is now a known priority. The Horsham District Planning Framework (HDPF) Inspector’s Final Report5 commits Horsham District Council

(HDC) to working with Crawley Borough Council and Mid Sussex District 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal Council (MSDC) to, at least, meet the needs of the housing market area within the housing market area, as part of its early review. Joint working is also established in the adopted Mid Sussex District Plan (MSDP)6 and as part of their commitment to prepare a Site Allocations Development Plan Document. 2.8 A Joint Plan may be considered following ongoing joint working with the adjoining authorities, particularly those within the Northern West Sussex Housing Market Area; West Sussex county; and/or the Gatwick Diamond. 2.9 Two Strategic Statements are relevant to Crawley borough:  The Gatwick Diamond Local Strategic Statement has recently undergone a refresh7.  The West Sussex and Greater Brighton Local Strategic Statement; this was updated in January 2016. Crawley Borough Council joined the Strategic Planning Board in April 2017 with observer status, and formally joined as a full member in January 2018. 2.10 Options beyond this may include: a non-statutory, overarching strategic statement; Joint Area Action Plans; or a Strategic Development Plan Document. At a minimum, Statements of Common Ground will need to be secured with the relevant authorities on all strategic, cross boundary matters. 2.11 Work to establish the most appropriate approach is expected to coincide with joint working with HDC for the HDPF Review8 and with MSDC as part of the MSDP Review, in addition to their Site Allocations Development Plan Document9. Interim updates to this LDS will reflect any programmes and timetables as they are agreed. 2.12 Where the government believes a Joint Plan would facilitate the more effective planning of development and use of land in the area of one or more local authority, the Secretary of State can direct two or more local planning authorities to prepare a joint development plan document.

Local Plan Review: 2.13 Notwithstanding the outcomes of joint strategic working, this LDS sets the timetable for the process under which a full Local Plan Review for Crawley borough is taking place. This shows that the review can ensure there is an up-

The remaining Local Plan Review matters are anticipated to be subject to public consultation in early 2020, this will include housing numbers and development sites. 9 The MSDP commits the preparation of the Mid Sussex Site Allocations DPD to an adoption date of 2020, and for the review of the District Plan to commence in 2021 for submission in 2023.

to-date Plan in place five years from the adoption of the Crawley Borough Local Plan 2015 – 2030 (December 2015). 2.14 During the Review process, in assessing the relevance of the existing adopted Crawley Borough Local Plan policies, where these remain in conformity with 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal national policy and local evidence they will be considered to retain full weight. 2.15 The Local Plan Review can be broken into three distinct parts:  Year 1 (2018/2019): monitoring; scoping and evidence gathering;  Year 2 (2019/2020): issues, options, and preferred approach;  Year 3 (2020/2021): submission, examination and adoption. 2.16 In accordance with the previous LDS timetable, the Local Plan Review has already progressed through the first formal stage of public consultation, in accordance with Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. 2.17 This comprised both the high level “issues and options” questions and the publication for consultation of a draft Local Plan. The draft Plan contained the emerging draft strategic and non-strategic planning policies and principles. As a “review” of the adopted Local Plan, it did not seek to start from a blank page. In many cases, the principles and policies of the Crawley Borough Local Plan 2015 remain up-to-date and ‘sound’. 2.18 Therefore, some of the policies were retained from the existing Local Plan; others were suggested to be changed in light of updated evidence or local or national planning positions; and in some cases, the review has provided the opportunity for proposing a new approach and new policies were proposed. 2.19 The Submission draft Local Plan was subsequently approved by Full Council, in December 2019, as the Local Plan the council considers to be legally compliant and ‘sound’, for publication consultation (Regulation 19) and submission to the Secretary of State for its independent examination. 2.20 The formal stage of public consultation commenced on 20 January 2020, in accordance with the timetable established in the previous LDS, for a six week period until 2 March 2020.

Technical Evidence Documents: 2.21 A substantial evidence base was prepared to inform the adopted Local Plan. The Crawley 2030 Key Documents and Evidence Base library forms the most up-to-date technical position to support and explain the Vision, Strategy and Policies within the adopted Plan. Joint Working: 2.22 Many of the key evidence documents were undertaken on a strategic scale, commissioned jointly with the other two authorities which form the northern West Sussex Housing Market Area (Horsham and Mid Sussex District Councils) and with the county council. Updates to the Evidence Base: 2.23 Updates to the technical evidence base will continue to be undertaken to support the Local Plan Review, particularly in relation to housing numbers in light of the government’s standard methodology; economic growth; and land availability. 2.24 The following evidence documents are those which have initially been identified as needed to support the review of the Local Plan.

The Sustainability Appraisal: 2.25 An integral part of producing a Local Plan is the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). The SA/SEA is produced in tandem with the Local Plan and ensures that the Local Plan adopts, as far as possible, the most sustainable options in an environmental, economic and social context having being assessed against all other realistic options and alternatives. 2.26 For the early engagement consultation, a Sustainability Appraisal Scoping and Draft Report was published alongside the draft Local Plan. This was updated following the close of consultation, alongside the amendments to the Local Plan, and the updated version was published for comments as a final draft SA/SEA Report as part of the Publication (Regulation 19) Consultation.

Page 29 Agenda Item 4 Appendix a Crawley Local Development Scheme 2020 – 2023

2.27 The SA/SEA assessed the whole Plan review against any implications caused by the overall Plan strategy and assessed the options and impacts of each Local Plan policy as well as the sites allocated for development.

2.28 The SA is an overarching document and in most cases will apply to the 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal subordinate documents, such as the SPDs. However, for any emerging documents, including neighbourhood plans, an assessment will be carried out to ensure the requirements of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Regulations have been met.

The Local Plan Map: 2.29 The council’s Local Plan Map is a Local Development Document. It indicates spatially:  local, national and international designations;  the allocation of land for particular land uses; and  areas to which specific planning policies apply. 2.30 The Local Plan Map is always brought forward in conjunction with the production of other Local Development Documents. Therefore, a specific document profile is not included for the Local Plan Map. 2.31 The Local Plan Map will be updated to reflect new site allocations, designation and boundary changes. This will primarily be created by the adoption of new Local Plan Documents (including the West Sussex Minerals and Waste Plans, both of which have recently been adopted10), but may also be caused by new environmental data such as the SSSIs, Local Wildlife Sites and Ancient Woodland. 2.32 The Local Plan Map will need to be updated in light of the Crawley Borough Local Plan Review and, in due course, the North Crawley Area Action Plan, to reflect any new site allocations or designations created as a consequence of updated evidence.

The Authority’s Monitoring Report: 2.33 The council’s Monitoring and Implementation Framework establishes the process for monitoring the successful implementation of the strategy and planning policies set out in the Crawley Borough Local Plan 2015 – 2030. Annual assessments against the indicators established by the Monitoring Framework led to the establishment of the adopted Supplementary Planning Documents and advised the approach being taken forward through the Local Plan Review. 2.34 The Authority’s Monitoring Report (AMR) will be published at least annually, with updates provided where further information is available sooner. This report will contain the following information:  Progress on the preparation of Local Plans or Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD) specified in the council’s Local Development Scheme (LDS);  Details of any policies in the Local Plan which are not being implemented;  The delivery of net housing against the annualised average housing number and the total since the adoption of the Policy and including the council’s ongoing performance in terms of the government’s Housing Delivery Test;

10 West Sussex Waste Local Plan (2014) WSCC & SDNP; Minerals Local Plan (2018) WSCC & SDNP

Page 30 Agenda Item 4 Appendix a Crawley Local Development Scheme 2020 – 2023

 The calculation of the borough’s Housing Land Supply against the five year housing land supply requirement;  The delivery of net affordable housing against the annualised average

affordable housing requirement and the total since the adoption of the 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal Policy;  The employment land supply established within the updated Employment Land Trajectory;  Details of any Neighbourhood Plans being progressed within the area;  Details of the borough’s performance against the council’s self-build and custom housebuilding register.  Reporting on the implementation of the Community Infrastructure Levy, where the Charging Schedule is in place;  Actions undertaken to meet the Duty to Cooperate.

Title: Crawley Borough Local Plan Review

Role/Subject: The review of the Local Plan will assess the extent to which the Local Plan policies remain up-to-date in light of new evidence (including the standard methodology for establishing objectively assessed housing need) and changing government legislation and policy. The Local Plan Review will cover all aspects of the Plan. Justification: The planning system is plan-led; and planning law requires that applications for planning permission must be determined in accordance with the development plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. As a minimum, each local planning authority must ensure that there is a plan which addresses the strategic priorities for their area. Crawley Borough Council adopted the Local Plan in December 2015. This forms the council’s up-to-date, ‘sound’ Local Plan for the purposes of Development Management decisions. Local Plans are required by legislation to be reviewed at least every five years in order to maintain an up-to-date plan.

Area Coverage: Crawley Borough Document Status: Development Plan Document Chain of Conformity: General conformity with National Legislation, Regulations, and Policy Guidance including the National Planning Policy Framework.

Local Plan Map

The Local Plan Map will be revised, formulated and adopted in conjunction with the adoption of the Local Plan and the West Sussex Minerals and Waste Plans. Any changes to the allocations and designations for sites within Crawley in policies established through future examinations of these Plans will result in correlating updates being carried out to the Local Plan Map. The Local Plan Map will require updating as part of the Review.

Future Development Plan Documents: 2.35 In terms of DPD production, through Policy SD3 in the Local Plan Review, the council is committed to the preparation of an additional DPD in the form of an Area Action Plan (AAP) for the area currently safeguarded by the adopted Local Plan for the purposes of a potential additional runway at Gatwick Airport. The document is to be the North Crawley AAP. Policy SD3 commits the council to commencing work on the preparation of the AAP within three months of the adoption of the revised Local Plan.

Title: North Crawley Area Action Plan

Role/Subject: An Area Action Plan is proposed by the draft Local Plan in order to properly plan for the land to the north of Crawley, between the town and Gatwick Airport, previously safeguarded for the purposes of an additional wide- spaced runway at Gatwick Airport.

Justification: The removal of a long-established policy constraint frees up a significant area of land. However, not all of the land is needed or suitable for development. Detailed assessment of the needs for the future growth and operational requirements of the airport alongside other development and infrastructure needs is necessary, as well as identification of heritage, environmental and landscape assets which merit protection. Detailed policies will need to be prepared and site allocations considered for a range of uses. The submission draft Local Plan commits the council to producing a dedicated Area Action Plan to direct sustainable development and protection of this area.

If monitoring indicates that the Area Action Plan is not being implemented; or circumstances change or new planning policy guidance emerges, the Area Action Plan, or elements of it, may be reviewed. Any significantly different government decisions which impact more on planning for the future of this area of Crawley may require a review of this LDS.

Local Plan Map

The Local Plan Map will require updating as part of the Area Action Plan.

2.36 In addition to this AAP DPD, the potential for a Joint Plan may be considered and explored in relation to any significant area of search for strategic development identified on Crawley’s administrative borough boundaries. 2.37 The council will continue to monitor on an annual basis, as part of the LDS reviews, the requirement for new DPDs and will include them in a future LDS as appropriate.

3. Supplementary Planning Documents 3.1 Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD) are produced to supplement policies in the Local Plan (or other DPD) by providing greater detail on the policy topic, the delivery of the policy, or the detailed design, layout and masterplanning of a site allocated in the Local Plan in order to assist applicants bringing forward successful development proposals. These may amplify guidance through providing examples of good practice or technical information, or may provide more detailed information in relation to a smaller geographical area. 3.2 Since the adoption of the Crawley Borough Local Plan 2015 – 2030, five topic- based Supplementary Planning Documents11 have been progressed and adopted to support the policies within the Local Plan (along with the already adopted Manor Royal Design Guide SPD). In addition, two Development Briefs12 and five Conservation Area Statements13 have been adopted. 3.3 The documents currently used for development control purposes are listed in Appendix 1. The intentions for where these are to be replaced, deleted or reviewed are indicated in the Appendix under each document. Each of the currently adopted SPDs will require review and updating to bring them in conformity with the changes introduced by the Local Plan Review, once this is adopted.

Page 35 Agenda Item 4 Appendix a Crawley Local Development Scheme 2020 – 2023

3.4 As part of their preparation, Supplementary Planning Documents will all be subject to a period of public consultation and scrutiny in accordance with Regulations14 and the council’s Statement of Community Involvement. They will

be adopted by the council through its formal processes as established by the 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal Constitution. They will all be publicly available following adoption on the council website and, by request to the council, in paper format. A Consultation Statement will be published alongside draft documents for consultation purposes and for consideration as part of adoption. 3.5 New supporting planning documents anticipated to be prepared over the life of this current Local Development Scheme include:  Review of existing Supplementary Planning Documents;  Development Briefs to support specific site allocations, where considered helpful and necessary;  Development Principles Statements;  Technical Guidance Notes;  Conservation Area Statements for the remaining more recently designated Conservation Areas;  Refresh of existing Conservation Area Statements. 3.6 The details of the currently proposed SPDs are set out in the profiles below. These may be subject to review as the documents are progressed and any changes will be articulated in annual updates to the LDS.

Conservation Area Statements: 3.7 There are currently 11 designated Conservation Areas in Crawley, which are represented by six independent resident-led Conservation Area Advisory Committees (CAACs). Every Conservation Area will have a Conservation Area Statement that identifies its special architectural or historic features, which it is desirable to protect or enhance, as well as setting out planning guidance for the Conservation Area. The council is currently working alongside the CAACs to update the original Conservation Area Statements where these have become outdated, and to produce new statements where Conservation Areas have been recently designated. 3.8 As the Conservation Area Statement work is being led by the CAACs, a definitive timetable cannot be set out. However, the groups are working with the council to have Conservation Area Statements in place.

Development Briefs: 3.9 Development Briefs are often used as a means for the council to support and provide additional guidance for a particular development site to deliver a successful scheme. This is mostly useful where there are complicated planning issues to be resolved and technical information or broad principles can be established to enable development to go ahead, without having a lengthy or contentious application process. 3.10 The council committed to producing three of these through adopted Local Plan Policy H2, to build on the criteria set out within the Policy and supporting text. Of these three Development Briefs, two have been adopted by the council. The remaining document is currently under preparation. 3.11 The principle of housing development has been established on each of these sites already. However, they remain to have other land use considerations, including open space, noise, traffic and transport, biodiversity and heritage.

Justification: The Airport Master Plan 2019 proposes significant increases in passenger throughput at the airport, with additional development. It also seeks changes to the airport boundary which will be addressed through the Local Plan Review. The subsequent SPD will provide additional detail as to how the council will implement Local Plan policies in dealing with planning applications, consultations and other planning matters at the airport. Its aim will be to support growth at the airport subject to satisfactory environmental safeguards and adequate infrastructure being in place. It is anticipated a new Legal Agreement will be agreed between GAL, CBC and WSCC. Area Coverage: The Gatwick Airport boundary as defined on the Local Plan Map.

4. Community Infrastructure Levy 4.1 A CIL charging schedule was introduced to support the implementation and delivery of the adopted Local Plan for Crawley borough. This was adopted by Full Council on 20 July 2016, with an implementation date of 17 August 2016. Community Infrastructure Levy Evidence Base 4.2 The key pieces of evidence which supported the Community Infrastructure Levy included:  Viability Assessment  Infrastructure Plan  Housing Implementation Strategy  Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment  Strategic Housing Market Assessment  Transport Modelling  Green Infrastructure Plan  Climate Change policies Supporting Documents 4.3 The CIL Charging Schedule is supported by a list of infrastructure priorities (known as the ‘Regulation 123 List’). This regulation requires the council to publish a list of infrastructure that the council intends to fund through CIL and those areas where a S106 Planning Agreement or S278 Highways Agreement will be sought. This will ensure that a developer/landowner is not charged twice for the same piece of infrastructure. This document will be reviewed annually to ensure the contributions are directed towards the most relevant and necessary infrastructure. 4.4 Additional guidance has also been prepared to clarify the role and application of planning obligations and S106 agreements in light of the adoption of CIL. This is provided in the form of informal guidance.

Review 4.5 The government has published revisions to the CIL Regulations. The council has considered the implications of the changes to Regulations on the approach taken. As part of the Local Plan Review, an Annex will be prepared to establish the planning obligation requirements associated with the Planning Policies. 4.6 An Annual Infrastructure Funding Statement will be published by the council from December 2020. This will include the Infrastructure List, replacing the council’s CIL Regulation 123 List in due course. 4.7 The Viability Evidence supporting the Local Plan Review may also require an amendment to the Charging Schedule for CIL. It is anticipated that through the Whole Plan Viability evidence work CIL-related choices and judgements will be

Page 45 Agenda Item 4 Appendix a Crawley Local Development Scheme 2020 – 2023

raised and questioned, which could lead to a CIL review. The timetable for this will be set out in a future updated LDS. 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal 5. Brownfield Land Register 5.1 Local Planning Authorities are required to produce a Brownfield Land Register indicating the sites of previously developed land within the administrative area which are considered to be suitable for housing or housing-led development. 5.2 Crawley Borough Council’s initial Register was published in November 2017, and is required to be annually updated thereafter. Accordingly, it was modified in November 2018. This involved minor changes to reflect the granting of new planning permissions for housing sites and the removal of sites from the register where development had commenced, and are no longer available. 5.3 The Register consists of two parts, with the initial focus having been on Part 1: the basic register. Sites for inclusion in Part 1 must meet the following criteria:  Land area of at least 0.25ha or the site have capacity to support at least 5 dwellings;  Must be available (capable of development within 15 years)  Must be achievable (landowner has the intention to develop or a developer has indicated such an intention, or the local authority does not consider there are any issues relating to the ownership of the land or legal impediment which might prevent residential development of the land taking place). 5.4 For the site to be considered suitable for housing development, it may be allocated in the Local Plan; have planning permission for residential development; or be considered suitable by the local planning authority, when considering adverse impact upon the natural or built environment or the amenity of occupiers or neighbouring properties, in having regard to the Local Plan policies and NPPF. On this basis, sites which have not been otherwise subject to a formal planning process could be included in Part 1 of the Register. A period of consultation will be undertaken should additional sites be identified for their inclusion on the register. 5.5 The Register must include a Part 2, even if there are no entries. Sites included in Part 2 are granted “Permission in Principle” for residential development. This is a different process to the existing Local Plan allocation and planning application procedures. 5.6 Any site the council is considering for Permission in Principle, through the inclusion in Part 2 of the Brownfield Land Register, is subject to specific requirements for consultation which are similar to those used for planning applications. Decisions to grant Permission in Principle are made in accordance with the same constitutional processes as equivalent planning applications.

6. Local List 6.1 The council has an approved Local List which supports the National List of Requirements against which planning applications are validated. This was recently updated to incorporate the adopted Policy requirements established by the Crawley Borough Local Plan and implications of the new NPPF. It was adopted on 21 November 2018.

Page 47 Agenda Item 4 Appendix a Crawley Local Development Scheme 2020 – 2023

6.2 The NPPF requires the Local List to be reviewed at least every two years15. However, consideration will be given to the timing of the Local List review in line with the Local Plan Review adoption, as this is anticipated to create new

requirements and expectations for planning applications through new and 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal revised policies. Its production alongside the reviews of the Supplementary Planning Documents will ensure all requirements for the submission of valid planning applications are reasonable, proportionate, clear and consistent.

7. Statement of Community Involvement 7.1 A Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) sets out the mechanisms a council will employ to consult on their local planning policy documents and who will be consulted and at what stage. The SCI also outlines how representations 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal received on local planning policy documents will be taken into account. 7.2 The council has an adopted SCI. This was updated and subject to a period of public consultation during November and December 2016. It was adopted by Crawley Borough Council in February 2017. 7.3 A minor update of the SCI was subsequently undertaken (November 2019) to ensure it is fit for purpose in preparing the Local Plan Review and future Supplementary Planning Documents. 7.4 All planning documents produced by Crawley Borough Council are required to be prepared in accordance with the requirements set out by its adopted SCI. This legislative requirement applies to those documents set out in this LDS as well as any others subsequently produced. 7.5 The timetables shown in the document details for each of the planning documents in this LDS have been determined in line with the expectations of the adopted SCI. Should consultation lengths for particular types of documents be amended through the review of the SCI, this will be reflected in the consultations undertaken for emerging documents and the LDS will be updated accordingly.

8. Local Development Scheme Risk Assessment 8.1 The risks to the delivery of the LDS programme have been identified as:  Neighbouring Authorities and the Duty to Cooperate.  Political climate nationally and locally.  Economic climate nationally and locally adversely affecting ability to meet Local Plan development delivery targets.  Further national revisions to planning policy with implications of a significant and fundamental scale to adopted local Policy.  Staffing levels in the Strategic Planning Team.  Studies/assessment commissioned to inform DPD and SPD production are not delivered on time for reasons outside of the council’s control.  Neighbourhood forums seek support from the Strategic Planning Team to prepare Neighbourhood Plans. 8.2 The risks outlined above are varied in their nature and essentially contingency exists through prioritising budgets, prioritising resources and prioritising elements of the LDS programme. Once a risk has been identified the council will work swiftly to address the risk and prioritise the most critical elements of the LDS programme.

Appendix 2: Consultation and Adoption Process for Planning Documents The LDS makes clear the distinction between the different levels and types of documents produced by the council for the purposes of development control. These are subject to different pressures (for example speed of preparation to ensure the 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal most appropriate level of responsiveness, flexibility and adaptability). Legislation dictates how some of these documents must be adopted and local decisions determine the remainder (these are both combined and set out in the council’s Constitution and Scheme of Delegation). The council’s Constitution confirms that documents within the Local Development Scheme are to be approved and adopted in the following manner: Full Council via Cabinet:  Development Plan Documents (includes the Local Plan) for Submission Consultation and Adoption16;  Joint Development Plan Documents for Submission Consultation and Adoption;  Community Infrastructure Levy Charging Schedule17. Cabinet Member Portfolio Responsibilities18:  Local Development Scheme  Supplementary Planning Documents  Statement of Community Involvement  Brownfield Land Register Part 1  Local List for Validation Requirements  High Weald AONB Management Plan Planning Committee:  Brownfield Land Register Part 2 Head of Service Officer Decision19:  Operational Documents: o Authority’s Monitoring Report  Factual Updates and Minor Amendments to the following documents: o Local Development Scheme o Supplementary Planning Documents (in consultation with Portfolio Holder) o Statement of Community Involvement (in consultation with Portfolio Holder) o Brownfield Land Register Part 1 o Local List for Validation Requirements o CIL Regulation 123/Infrastructure List o Brownfield Land Register Part 2 (in consultation with Portfolio Holder and Planning Committee Chair)  Consultation of all draft planning documents (with the exception of the Submission Local Plan) (in consultation with Portfolio Holder)

Definition of Planning Documents: The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 differentiates between ‘development plan documents’ (DPDs) and ‘local development documents’ (LDDs). Part 2 of the Act confirms that DPDs are a sub-set of LDDs. 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal Planning Documents are defined, in accordance with the provisions of the Act, by the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (as amended).

Supplementary Planning Documents: Supplementary Planning Documents are any document which falls into the definition set out in Regulation 5(1)(iii): “a document which is prepared by the local planning authority which contains statements regarding… any environmental, social, design and economic objectives which are relevant to the attainment of the development and use of land… ….which the LPA wish to encourage during any specified period…” On this basis, for the purposes of the council’s Constitution Scheme of Delegation, “Supplementary Planning Documents” include all of the following:  Topic Based SPDs  Development Briefs  Conservation Area Statements  Heritage Statements  Design Guides  Area Character Appraisals  Planning Obligations Guidance Documents

Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (as amended) Extracts:

Regulation 2:

(1) In these Regulations– […] “local plan” means any document of the description referred to in regulation 5(1)(a)(i), (ii) or (iv) or 5(2)(a) or (b), and for the purposes of section 17(7)(a) of the Act these documents are prescribed as development plan documents; […] “supplementary planning document” means any document of a description referred to in regulation 5 (except an adopted policies map or a statement of community involvement) which is not a local plan; […]

Regulation 5 concerns ‘Local Development Documents’ and provides:

(1) For the purposes of section 17(7)(za) of the Act the documents which are to be prepared as local development documents are–

Page 57 Agenda Item 4 Appendix a Crawley Local Development Scheme 2020 – 2023

(a) any document prepared by a local planning authority individually or in cooperation with one or more other local planning authorities, which contains statements regarding one or more of the following– 4ConsiderationReport:CrawleyLocal (i) the development and use of land which the local planning authority wish to encourage during any specified period; (ii) the allocation of sites for a particular type of development of use; (iii) any environmental, social, design and economic objectives which are relevant to the attainment of the development and use of land mentioned in paragraph (i); and (iv) development management and site allocation policies, which are intended to guide the determination of applications for planning permission;

(b) where a document mentioned in sub-paragraph (a) contains policies applying to sites or areas by reference to an Ordnance Survey map, any map which accompanies that document and which shows how the adopted policies map would be amended by the document, if it were adopted.

(2) For the purposes of section 17(7)(za) of the Act the documents which, if prepared, are to be prepared as local development documents are–

(a) any document which–

(i) relates only to part of the area of the local planning authority; (ii) identifies that area as an area of significant change or special conservation; and (iii) contains the local planning authority’s policies in relation to the area; and

(b) any other document which includes a site allocation policy.

Regulation 8:

Crawley Borough Council

Consideration Report for Delegated Decision by Chair of the Cabinet 5ConsiderationReport:Calculationo

Expected Date of Decision 5 February 2020

Calculation of the Non-Domestic Rates Income for the Year 2020/2021

Report of the Head of Corporate Finance – FIN/494

1. Purpose

1.1 The purpose of this briefing note is for the Chair of the Cabinet to exercise his delegated authority to approve the Non-Domestic Rates Income for 2020/21.

2. Recommendations

2.1 The Chair of the Cabinet is recommended to approve the calculation of the non- domestic rating income for 2020/2021

3. Reasons for the Recommendations

3.1 The calculation required by statute has produced a non-domestic rating income of £124,349,722; the central share has been calculated at £62,174,861; and the relevant precepting authority’s (WSCC) share as £12,434,972. The regulations provide that in the current year this authority must make the calculations by 31 January 2020.

4. Background

4.1 The Non-Domestic Rating (Rates Retention) Regulations 2013 require a billing authority, by 31 January in the preceding year, to: a) Calculate its non-domestic rates income for the relevant year; b) Calculate the amount of the central share of its non-domestic rating income for the relevant year; c) Calculate the amount of each relevant precepting authority’s share of its non- domestic rating income for the relevant year; and d) Notify the Secretary of State and any relevant precepting authorities of the amounts calculated.

4.2 The non-domestic rates income is used to calculate the level of grant receivable by the Council through the Business Rates Retention Scheme introduced from April 2013. There is now a direct link between the non-domestic rates income receivable in the year and the level of grant receivable by the Council.

Page 59 Agenda Item 5

5. Information & Analysis Supporting Recommendation

5.1 A summary of the calculation is reported in NNDR1 (National Non-Domestic Rates Return) which is attached in Appendix A. This shows:

5ConsiderationReport:Calculationo (a) non-domestic rates income (part 1 line 12) £124,349,722 (b) amount of the central share £62,174,861 (c) amount of West Sussex County Council share £12,434,972 amount of Crawley Borough Council share £49,739,889

5.2 All business properties are valued by the District Valuer and assigned a rateable value. In order to arrive at the non-domestic rates payable for the year, the total rateable value is multiplied by the small business non-domestic rating multiplier (0.499 for 2020/21).

5.3 Mandatory reliefs. These are available to certain classes of ratepayer (e.g. charities). The mandatory relief for charities and community amateur sports clubs is 80% of the rates due. It is estimated that that the total cost of mandatory reliefs for 2020/21 will be £1,881,417 (2019/20: £1,773,247).

5.4 Unoccupied property relief. Some empty properties qualify for 100% relief. In 2020/21, the total cost of unoccupied property relief will be £4,630,508 (2019/20: £3,458,287).

5.5 Discretionary reliefs. The Council has the power to give relief to certain classes of ratepayers. In the case of charities and community amateur sports clubs, the Council can top up all or part of the 20% rates not covered by mandatory relief. It can also grant up to 100% discretionary relief for not for profit organisations. For 2020/21 it is estimated that the total cost of discretionary reliefs will be £411,066 (2019/20: £404,860).

5.6 Discretionary reliefs funded through S31 grant. These are reliefs that have been announced by the government and, whilst the Council has full discretion over whether to apply them, the cost of providing the reliefs are fully compensated by the government. The estimated cost of the reliefs in 2020/21 is £1,149,417 (2019/20: £926,838). Changes to reliefs in 2020/21 means that the figure provided is not directly comparable to the 2019/20.

5.7 Losses in collection. It is proposed that for 2020/21 the provision for bad debts be set at 0.5% of net rates collectable, £649,423 (2019/20: 0.8%, £1,047,084). This has been based on the level of losses in recent years. The vast majority of bad debts are as a result of insolvencies.

5.8 Allowance for cost of collection. This is an allowance that is paid from the Collection Fund to the Council and is set each year by the government. For 2020/21 it has been set at £212,640 (2019/20: £212,145).

5.9 Adjustment for estimated change due to appeals. It is proposed that this will reduce the rates income by £3,896,538. This figure has been estimated from assumptions used by the government.

5.10 Other figures. There are a number of other figures in the return. These are either zero, because they don’t apply in Crawley at the moment or relatively small technical adjustments.

Page 60 Agenda Item 5

6. Implications

6.1 The Council’s share of the non-domestic rates income is estimated to be £49,739,889. However, the Council has to pay a tariff of £42,592,432 which would

result in net funding of £7,147,457. The Council’s funding target is £3,642,926. Any 5ConsiderationReport:Calculationo losses in funding are limited to 7.5% below the funding target (i.e. £3,369,707). The rest of the loss is met by the Government making a safety net payment. A levy of 50% is payable on any funding above the funding target. The total funding receivable through non-domestic rates is therefore £6,343,834. The following table sets out the funding after other adjustments:

Council’s share of non-domestic rates income 49,739,889 Tariff -42,592,432 Levy -2,329,854 S.31 Grants 1,262,413 Rates on renewable energy 5,120 Surplus/deficit from previous years 258,698 Total scheme funding 6,343,834

6.2 The above funding has been incorporated in the Council’s budget for 2020/21. At the end of the year, the actual non-domestic rates income collectable will used to make an adjustment: these are expected to be applied to future periods (2021/22 and 2022/23).

6.3 Sensitivity analysis. There are a number of uncertainties in predicting the non- domestic rates income, particularly in the current economic climate. The impact of appeals also has a high degree of uncertainty. The following table shows the impact on the Council’s finances if rates are 5% higher or lower than projected:

+5% -5% Council’s share of non-domestic rates 52,226,884 47,252,894 income Tariff -42,592,432 -42,592,432 Levy -3,573,351 -1086,357 S.31 Grants 1,262,413 1,262,413 Rates on renewable energy 5,120 5,120 Surplus/deficit from previous years 258,698 258,698 Total scheme funding 7,587,332 5,100,336 Difference +1,243,498 -1,243,498
