The Core Strategy sets a target for at least 88% of new housing to be built on brownfield sites but even if all the additional greenfield sites were to be allocated, this target would still be comfortably exceeded. The three proposed sites in the Woodhouse area have potential to deliver about 350 dwellings which equates to less than 2% of the total identified housing land supply in the city. Environmentally sensitive areas within the Junction Road (P00509) and Woodhouse East (P00510) sites will be protected as open space. There is a much greater need for housing land than for land for light industry and the Junction Road site is not in a suitable location for Park & Ride because it is not located on a main arterial road into Sheffield.

If it's cost then the Council or prices since the 'credit crunch' in 2007 and this means that many Government should do something to encourage the developers developments would not provide sufficient profit for the to use the city centre and brownfield sites. Families should be landowner or developer. Consequently, banks are reluctant to encouraged into the city centre and more should be done to lend to the developers. Many of the schemes that were redevelop unused housing and buildings and transform them developed in the period prior to the recession were bought by into decent homes. institutional investors for the private rented market but the institutions now perceive apartments as a riskier investment offering limited potential for capital growth and so have generally ceased buying the properties. Although the Government has provided grants or loans through schemes such as the Get Britain Building Fund to support stalled housing developments, the austerity measures mean there is only limited public funding available to support new development. The Council is using money received through the Government's New Homes Bonus for projects which aim to speed up housing delivery or reduce the number of empty properties. Introduction - General ASAO- Councillor Ian Auckland Disagree Ward Cllrs disagree that allocating greenfield sites Weak economic conditions and bank lending (both of which are No change proposed. comment 330 will solve the state of the housing market; it will just result in loss outside the control of the planning system) are currently of open space and green belt and put pressure on local services suppressing demand for new homes but the economy is such as schools. Existing former school sites (e.g. Matthews expected to recover over time and the Local Plan has to take a Lane) are available and every effort should be made to long-term view.

To be deliverable, the NPPF says sites have to be add to the setting of the Green Belt (e.g. Norton Water Tower). economically viable but our analysis shows that not all the identified sites are likely to be deliverable during the plan period because many of them are concentrated in weaker market areas and there are limits to what the market will deliver in any one area in a single year. The additional sites are needed to increase both the 5-year supply of deliverable sites and the supply to the end of the plan period (2026). The Core Strategy sets a target for at least 88% of new housing to be built on brownfield sites but even if all the additional greenfield sites were to be allocated, this target would still be comfortably exceeded. Windfalls on small sites have been taken into account in the assessment of housing land supply.

The Core Strategy sets a target for at least 88% of new housing to be built on brownfield sites but even if all the additional greenfield sites were to be allocated, this target would still be comfortably exceeded. The three proposed sites in the Woodhouse area have potential to deliver about 350 dwellings which equates to less than 2% of the total identified housing land supply in the city.

The vast majority of local green and open spaces will be designated as Open Space Areas in the Local Plan and will be protected from development.

The household projections for Rotherham include an element of net migration to Rotherham from Sheffield. A large proportion of the land at Waverley already has planning permission for housing - around 3,900 homes are proposed and construction has already started - but those homes will count towards Rotherham's housing growth target and cannot be counted towards Sheffield's figure as well. Many of the people who eventually live at Waverley will, of course, work in Sheffield and/ or will have moved from Sheffield to Rotherham. There are plans to link the Waverley development to Rotherham and via a bus rapid transit link. Introduction - General ASAO- Mrs Anne Eckford Disagree Objects to building on green spaces.

Many brownfield housing sites in the city are not currently economically viable because they are more 4 Document Section Comment Name of individual/ Nature of Summary of Comment Council response Recommendation ID organisation comment expensive to develop and are concentrated in weaker market areas where house prices are lower. The austerity measure mean there is only limited public funding available to support new development but the Council is using money received through the Governments New Homes Bonus for projects which aim to make sites more viable or reduce the number of empty homes. The Need for New Homes ASAO-1 Mr Martin Whelan Disagree In the short term there is probably very little that can be done; The National Planning Policy Framework requires local planning No change proposed. - General comment however the real problem isn't a lack of housing, it's too many authorities to meet objectively assessed housing needs. people. A more balanced, sustainable approach to growth is Although Sheffield's population is projected to continue to grow, needed. much of the need for new homes arises from a projected reduction in average household size which, in turn, is linked to the aging of the population (older people have a greater tendency to live alone). The overall strategy in the Local Plan is about sustainability and transforming the existing urban areas - at least 88% of the planned housing growth in the city is on brownfield sites and the strategy aims to balance social, environmental and economic considerations. The Need for New Homes ASAO-5 Mr Robin Hughes Disagree The SDF should not be encouraging developers to develop sites The National Planning Policy Framework requires allocated No change proposed. - General comment cheaply and generate profits quickly, and prop up an housing sites to be deliverable during the plan period and says unsustainable business model by subsidising it with a supply of that they must, therefore, be economically viable.

Our analysis shows that not all the identifed supply is likely to be deliverable during the plan period because much of the supply is concentrated in certain areas and many sites are not economically viable. We recognise that there is a risk of development being diverted away from brownfield sites, but even if all the proposed additional greenfield sites were to be allocated for housing, over 90% of the land supply would still be on brownfield sites. The Need for New Homes ASAO-57 Mr Matthew Reynolds, Agree All of the additional dwellings can be accommodated on LUTI Then additional site allocation options make up a small No change proposed. - General comment green sites. SYPTE recognise the need for new housing in percentage of the total new homes that are needed in the city Passenger Transport ensuring future economic growth of Sheffield, but would like to over the plan period. Most of the proposed sites are well-served Executive see capacity increased on existing sites in accessible locations by public transport and many are close to the Core Public to help reduce the number of additional sites. Support the Transport Network.

It should be made clear that developing document. The estimated densities reflect the housing density greenfield sites are not always cheaper than brownfield due to policy (CS26) in the adopted Core Strategy and, in light of 'non construction' costs (e.g. provision of access and current housing market conditions, have been based on the contributions to public transport). bottom end of the density range usually required by the policy. Support for the focus on brownfield development is noted. We agree that greenfield development is not always cheaper than brownfield development but there is no need to mention this specifically in the Local Plan. The site allocations do, however, indicate where additional infrastructure (such as public transport improvements) may be needed. The Need for New Homes ASAO- Ms Julie Sulley Disagree Objects strongly to developing greenfield sites and open spaces. Not all the city's housing needs can be met on brownfield sites No change proposed. - General comment 373 More effort should be put into utilising brownfield sites and but only a small amount of greenfield development is proposed. converting empty buildings. The Core Strategy sets a target for at least 88% of new housing to be built on brownfield sites but even if all the additional greenfield sites were to be allocated, this target would still be comfortably exceeded. Many brownfield housing sites in the city are not currentlly economically viable because they are more expensive to develop and are concentrated in weaker market areas where house prices are lower. The Council is using funding from the Government's New Homes Bonus to try and reduce the number of empty properties in the city. We estimate that the housing requirement in the Core Strategy could be reduced by about 650 dwellings by bringing long-term empty 5 Document Section Comment Name of individual/ Nature of Summary of Comment Council response Recommendation ID organisation comment homes back into use. However, around 20,300 new homes are needed over the period 2012-2026 to meet the Core Strategy requirement, so empty homes can only play a small role in meeting overall housing need and demand. The Need for New Homes ASAO- Mr Bernard Little, Green Disagree Before new houses are built empty properties (250 in Broomhill) The Council is using funding from the Government's New No change proposed. - General comment 374 Party Sheffield should be brought back into use and any new homes should be Homes Bonus to try and reduce the number of empty properties for people who can't afford mortgages. in the city. We estimate that the housing requirement in the Core Strategy could be reduced by about 650 dwellings by bringing long-term empty homes back into use. However, around 20,300 new homes are needed over the period 2012-2026 to meet the Core Strategy requirement, so empty homes can only play a small role in meeting overall housing need and demand. There is a significant need for affordable housing but there is insufficient subsidy available (either from the public sector or from private developers) to enable the required number to be built. Furthermore, the Sheffield Housing Market Assessment showed there is a need to provide a mix of market and affordable homes. The Need for New Homes ASAO- Ms Annabel Worrall Disagree Empty properties in the city centre should be utilised first (e.g. in The Council is using funding from the Government's New No change proposed. - General comment 375 the city centre, Park Hill Flats, Fitzalan Square Post Office, Old Homes Bonus to try and reduce the number of empty properties Court House and near Hanover Way).

However, around 20,300 pollution. Consideration should be given to wildlife. new homes are needed over the period 2012-2026 to meet the Core Strategy requirement, so empty homes can only play a small role in meeting overall housing need and demand. The proposed additional site allocation options did not include proposals for development at Wincobank and were generally in areas where few other sites had already been proposed. The impact of development on wildlife and traffic congestion has been assessed as part of assessing the suitability of sites for development. The Need for New Homes ASAO- F and M Wright Disagree Strongly opposes any development on greenfield sites. Not all the city's housing needs can be met on brownfield sites No change proposed. - General comment 376 but only a small amount of greenfield development is proposed. The Core Strategy sets a target for at least 88% of new housing to be built on brownfield sites but even if all the additional greenfield sites were to be allocated, this target would still be comfortably exceeded. Many brownfield housing sites in the city are not currently economically viable because they are more expensive to develop and are concentrated in weaker market areas where house prices are lower.

The Council should stand by the approvals already given Local Plan to meet the housing requirement that has already in the city centre - which is a sustainable location - before other been set by the Sheffield Local Plan Core Strategy. A 5-year sites are allocated. supply of deliverable sites has to be maintained but, to be counted as deliverable, the NPPF says the sites have to be economically viable. Apartments have seen some of the steepest falls in house prices since the 'credit crunch' in 2007 and this means that many developments in the City Centre would not provide sufficient profit for the landowner or developer to make development worthwhile. The additional sites are not designated as Green Belt and are needed to increase both the 5-year supply of deliverable sites and the supply to the end of the plan period (2026). The Need for New Homes ASAO- Mr David Smith, Neither agree There is doubt over the accuracy of population estimates so The annual house building targets have already been set in No change proposed. - General comment 400 National Trust nor disagree meeting specific targets over the next 14 years seems adopted in the Local Plan Core Strategy (2009) and take into unnecessarily precise - economic circumstances will slowly account the household projections that were available at the improve and they do not agree with the pressing need for new time.

Some of the proposed additional sites might be acceptable currently suppressing demand for new homes but the economy to local communities but the community might prefer some to be is expected to recover over time and the Local Plan has to take given the same protection as Green Belt.

The National Planning Policy Framework residents are important and should be taken into account, requires sufficient deliverable and developable housing sites to especially where good landscape and wildlife habitats are be allocated in the Local Plan to meet the housing requirement involved. that has already been set by the Core Strategy. The Core Strategy confirms that no changes are to be made to the Green Belt boundary in the current Local Plan but an early review of the Core Strategy (including Green Belt review) is likely to be needed to take account of the changed economic circumstances and revised forecasts of housing need and demand across Sheffield City Region. The views of local residents have been taken into account, along with other evidence, in deciding which sites should be taken forward in the revised City Policies and Sites document.

Some greenfield sites may need to be released sooner than was originally envisaged because many brownfield sites are in weaker market areas where house prices are lower and development is, therefore, not economically viable. Development will need to comply with policies on car parking and infrastructure provision in the Local Plan. Incentives for householders to use public transport (e.g. free bus passes) are already sometimes used in connection with new developments.

The Wiggan Farm site is a greenfield proposed in relation to site and its development will destroy a central green space, Comment ASAO 278 which is occasionally still used for grazing cows. There will be a negative impact from additional traffic using substandard roads and there are a limited number of services in the village, no shops other than a post office and the buses and the village becomes isolated during bad weather. There is lack of capacity in the local school. Too many houses are proposed on such a small site. There needs to be clarity on the types of construction permissible on the site and there should be full disclosure of the proposed plans to local residents including supporting documents.

The two proposed proposed in relation to developments are out of scale, creating a 20% increase in Comment ASAO 278. housing and developing almost all the remaining green space close to the village core, which defines Worrall as a village. The impact of these developments is disproportionate, suburbanising the appearance and character of the village. Highways access to the Worrall Hall Farm site could be unsafe, and the Wiggan Farm site is entirely surrounded by other buildings, some such as the barn on Towngate Road being important to local heritage. Historic buildings and their settings would be threatened. Both sites are wildlife havens which are likely to be destroyed. Should the site be allocated for housing, this must be subject to the following conditions: At least one third to be maintained as open space, the total increase in housing and population in the village not to exceed 10%, the garden to building footprint ratio to be similar to the average in the village today, no road access to be created to the Wiggan Farm site from Towngate Road, the historic barn on Towngate Road and heritage farm buildings at Wiggan Farm and Worrall Hall Farm to be preserved, the line of mature trees at Wiggan Farm parallel to Hagg Stones Road to be protected, the appearance of any development to be controlled, both as seen from nearby and from distant views such as Skew Hill, any development to be of varied design using high quality materials with a long design life, with a significant proportion of traditional designs and materials close to the village core.

The reason for allowing developers large sites in the Green Belt are in unsustainable locations. to build in Worrall is that houses in the areas proposed will command higher prices than their inner city counterparts. The developers have scant regard for the needs of the community, i.e., for affordable housing for first time buyers. Other brownfield sites in the north of Sheffield (e.g. Wraggs Brick Factory at Loxley) should not be ignored. Some older residents of Worrall report contamination from anthrax caused by mass burials of infected livestock on both sites. The infrastructure in Worrall would not be able to cope with the number of new houses proposed. Haggstones Road just beyond the entrance to Walshaw Road is a notorious bottle-neck at peak times and the proposals would affect surrounding traffic 'blackspot' areas of Hillsborough, Middlewood and Malin Bridge. The bus service is unreliable, infrequent and, at times, overcrowded with only two buses an hour (not three). There is a lack of local primary school places with children living in Worrall needing to travel, e.g. to Grenoside. The road only just copes with the present level of traffic, Worrall currently has only a Post Office with barely a shop and no doctors surgery. It is a great place to live and hanging onto its identity as a village, which would be destroyed forever if the proposals go ahead.

The Worrall Hall Farm site is close to the Shoulder of Mutton pub (age not known), Fox House (possibly the oldest building in the village), Well House on Towngate Road (built in the 1680s) and also Worrall Hall (built in 1720). The services in Worrall are inadequate for its present population with one very small shop and an inadequate service of 2 buses per hour. It is very likely that there would be a problem with school places, as there might be with GP services. Development would increase road traffic (one reason for refusal of a previous application was traffic problems at the junction of Walshaw Road and Haggstones Road). The sewerage system is currently inadequate to deal with this proposed expansion though it may be possible to overcome this. 10% of the proposed houses to be built are on green field sites in the village of Worrall which is too large an increase. During the planning inquiry into this site it was discovered that part of the land is in fact part of the adjoining Sycamore Park (even though it is separated from the park by a dry stone wall).

The site could provide for the development of a 'Supertram' style link to the City thus removing traffic. The current pedestrian access to the woods is a safety hazard (with two fatalities above the bridge) and parking restrictions should be introduced on the road. 40 houses could add 80 cars to the roads, and increase congestion and pollution. Housing would add to the pressures on the local schools, and the GP practice. There are few local shops and the development would add to shopping and commuting traffic into the city. There is no bus service up Oughtibridge Lane. The elderly a may struggle or be housebound or taxi/car dependent . A bus service in a circuit using Oughtibridge Lane to Grenoside could reduce traffic and pollution.

The site is outside the natural boundary of the village as defined by the railway line and set a precedent for more expansion. Recent housing developments have already stretched the existing infrastructure to a maximum. An alternative and derelict site with less impact on the village is on Station Lane, opposite the Pheasant Inn. However, if the development is needed the following conditions should be met: a new school primary (Oughtibridge) and secondary (Bradfield); redevelopment of the existing roads, including a new bridge over the railway; a new pedestrian crossing by Coronation Park; resurfacing of the roads by the site and throughout Oughtibridge; new walkways on both sides of Station Lane and Oughtibridge Lane and enforced speed limits.Also, public amenities should be enhanced including: a new/extended medical centre; new play equipment for the local parks; an equal area of public open space; a woodland ecology centre funded by the building company; a complete sewerage upgrade; and better access and new paths to the existing woods at Grenoside and Wharncliffe.

All brownfield sites should be used before building on greenfield sites. If this site is allocated, the following issues will have to be dealt with by the developer: the schools, doctors surgery etc. should be enlarged; the roads should be rebuilt; footpaths should be created on Oughtibridge Lane; the bridge should be renewed, with footpath and bridleway path. The road is already very busy in rush hour times and is a short cut to the A61 at Grenoside to avoid the congestion at Hillsborough. More speed limit signs and if necessary speed cameras are needed and better pedestrian safety with the construction of appropriate crossing places. The drains and sewerage systems would also need fully upgrading. The tram shuttle bus service to Middlewood tram stop should be extended; a new woodland ecology centre should be funded by the developer and funds provided towards regeneration of all the local woods in the area. An area of land of the same size should be given to the Wildlife Trust . There has been more than enough housing development in this semi rural area over the last few years and the remaining green space should remain as it is .

Infrastructure has not developed at all with recent development. There is pressure on Oughtibridge primary school such that current Oughtibridge parents cannot always secure a place for their children there, and the local secondary school (Bradfield) already operates above capacity with no unfilled places. The pressure on local roads has risen dramatically from upstream in the valley. This pressure has incrementally changed the quality of life and experience of living in Oughtibridge.

The railway bridge with narrowing road and no footpaths is already a major hazard for pedestrians and additional emerging 24 Document Section Comment Name of individual/ Nature of Summary of Comment Council response Recommendation ID organisation comment traffic would increase the danger. If any development went ahead, there would need to be a number of improvements to this section of the road and bridge. Any development on this site would put additional strain on the staff to pupil ratios at both Oughtibridge primary and Bradfield schools, the doctor's surgery and every other service in the village. Priority should be given to inner city brownfield sites for development. If planning permission was considered, the builders should respond to the neighbouring style of housing and materials. A 14th century Grade 2 star listed building faces the proposed site and development should be sympathetic. Any development should therefore reflect the need for affordable housing.

The existing bridge is already dangerous and must have a safe footpath/bridleway before any development could be built. The access road, Oughtibridge Lane, is already busy with very narrow sharp bends, and another 40 (and potentially more) houses would generate more traffic onto a road not made for it. Development would cause increased traffic in Grenoside, as well as added traffic in Oughtibridge, especially school journeys, as this would probably be considered too far to walk to the primary school. This land is visibly separate from the village when viewed across the valley. It is not previously used, and the railway forms a natural demarcation line.

School places for local Oughtibridge children are hard to come by now and it is not acceptable for children to travel far given the quality of public transport. Drainage is already at capacity. Further development would change the appearance of the village to a small town. There are no footpaths for pedestrians to walk to and from the site, as the road is steep and narrows with a dangerous bend, when travelling towards Oughtibridge. The road passes over an old railway bridge with no pedestrian footpath. There are many mature trees and shrubs on and around the site providing habitats for a variety of birds/ bats and other wild life. The fields provide for natural soak-up for heavy rainwater. The areas below have been identified by the Environment Agency as prone to flooding and any development of the sites would cause runoff into areas where the drains are insufficient to cope with bad weather conditions.

The Sustainability Appraisal concludes that the proposed use would likely cause significantly harm to road safety by increasing the number of residents reliant on unsafe highway connections to the centre of the village for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders. The proposed use would have a negative effect on the attractiveness of the natural environment, could result in soil pollution and would likely negatively impact the local air quality. This site should not have been considered due to its rural location. Large scale housing development in the countryside conflicts with the principles set out in PPS9 and undermines Natural England's principles in conserving and enhancing the natural environment.

The railway bridge is already unsuitable for the volume of traffic now using it. Any development of this size and nature would significantly impact on Oughtibridge's infrastructure. If the site is still allocated then the following conditions should be satisfied: a) The road between Fairholme Heights and Clough Grove to be widened and straightened. b) The bridge over the railway to be rebuilt. c) A new pedestrian crossing by Oughtibridge Coronation Park d) New pedestrian walkways on Oughtibridge Lane and Station Lane e) Major improvement in parking facilities in the centre of the village f) Cost met of enhanced public amenities for the additional 300 - 400 people including a new medical centre, a complete sewerage and drainage upgrade, new play equipment for local parks, the development of new school facilities.

The village cannot sustain the Comment ASAO 471. increased traffic generated on the small roads (i.e. Top Road) and removal of the old stone wall for access would be detrimental. The environmental and visual impact would be harmful to wildlife and ruin local character. There is a small Post Office, no local amenities and a very limited bus service to serve new residents. All local schools have capacity problems without any increases in population. Fox House (6 Top Road) is a listed building and any development would destroy the character of this beautiful dwelling maintained by the owners. Wadsley Park Village consistently has at least 20 houses for sale, 6 of which have never been sold (off Worrall Road). If the site is allocated for housing development there should not be any damage to local history and any designs need to be in keeping with the rural surroundings.

There is a lack of local shops, bus frequency and routes, restricted school places and parking in Worrall, which would increase the need for facilities and disrupt village life. The land has been used for burying diseased animals.

Brownfield sites are available in other parts of the city. Development would detract from the amenity value of the adjoining park. There is inadequate infrastructure within the village to service more development, especially drainage and highways. Top Road is barely wide enough now to handle two- way traffic and there are issues about vehicular access to the site. There are tail backs at the junction of Kirk Edge Road and Worrall Road at peak times. The bend on Haggstones Road is not capable of accepting two-way traffic. Development could cause an increase in surface water run-off, which could cause flooding further down the valley. There are inadequate facilities within Worrall to cope with more population and there is a limited public transport service, which would result in increased car ownership and congestion. The potential increase in population would put pressure on the local primary and secondary schools. It is already difficult to get an appointment at the local doctor's surgery.

The primary school is oversubscribed and the secondary school is full. Access to this site would be difficult especially at peak times. The junction of Top Road and Kirkedge Road has reduced views, school traffic and children crossing the roads. The increase in traffic would pose a safety risk to the school children. Flooding regularly occurs on Long Lane causing traffic to divert back onto Kirkedge Road making even more of a safety risk to pedestrians, especially school children.

P00508 - Former Sports ASAO- Mr Alan Bolton Disagree The Save Our Space group of residents have submitted a See General Response E (p 110) Site not proposed for Ground, Bawtry Road, 269 document and a number of appendices, including a petition, to allocation, no change Tinsley set out in detail their objection to the allocation of this site. The needed. document in summary covers the following issues: 1. Access and traffic generation · The adjacent two sports grounds already have difficulties with access to their sites and accommodating parking needs at busy times. · The main entrance to the BOC industrial site will be directly opposite the site entrance. There is already a need for traffic calming on this stretch of Bawtry Road to reduce the potential for conflict between vehicles on Bawtry Rd and large vehicles exiting the BOC site. · Site access is poor and complicated by existing entrances to the Aurora Sports Ground and Sheffield Hallam University Sports Ground. There are existing parking problems especially at weekend when many sporting events take place. Development adding further traffic would make this far worse. · There will be increased traffic through Tinsley, particularly along Bawtry Rd adjacent to the junior school. · Bawtry Rd is a "diversion route" between J34(S) and J33 of the M1 motorway whenever an incident occurs between these junctions or when there is congestion to J34(S) around Meadowhall Shopping Centre. This makes the main road to the access of the proposed site a very congested route. Has SCC taken this in to consideration? · The document is not clear on how the site will be accessed, and whether any additional land has to be acquired 2. Footpaths · There is an existing public footpath around the perimeter of the site accessed at Bawtry Rd and a claimed right of way across the site, these should be retained. The document should refer to these. 3. Gas Pipelines · There are 3 pipelines from the BOC plant which cross the site entrance. There must be a danger of rupturing these pipes. · There is a covenant on the land that requires the pipelines to be rerouted if the site is to be developed. Have BOC have been consulted regarding this? 4. Ecology · The site has a large area of wildlife and plant interest and designated as a Local nature Site. An ecology survey should be carried out to confirm the importance and extent of this area 5. Flooding and drainage · The southern part of the site is subject to regular and extensive flooding. This has a positive impact on the value of the site for ecology. · Concern that development of this site will result in increased risk of flooding for existing properties on Century View. · Concern that the capacity of local public drains and sewers is already insufficient and development of this site will add further pressure · The area indicated as Flood Zone 2 is not sufficient to cover the area that actually floods, this should be reviewed. · If the site were developed who would be liable for any future failure of flood mitigation measures? 6. Open Space · This is the only local area of open space, others sites are restricted for general recreation activity. · SCC has stated that there is a shortage of open space 7. Other brownfield sites · There are other available brownfield sites that should be made available e.g. Tinsley Wire and Outokumpu 8. Not a surplus sports ground · There is no evidence that the site is genuinely surplus for sports use, and that this is supported by Sport England. See also response to ASAO522. 9. Local Amenities and school places · There are limited shops and amenities in Tinsley. The shopping area at Brinsworth is already congested and has limited parking; development will add pressure to this 45 Document Section Comment Name of individual/ Nature of Summary of Comment Council response Recommendation ID organisation comment centre. · Development will increase pressure on limited local doctor and dental surgeries · Local schools are at capacity, developer contributions are unlikely to address the pressures; existing Brinsworth residents may lose out on school places for their children. 10. Social housing · Social housing will increase the risk of crime 11. Bus Services · There is no frequent direct bus service to the city centre; this may increase the number of cars at the site. 12. Air Quality · The area already suffers from poor air quality, and southern part of the site is only 185m from the M1, development of this site will add to this. 13. Site ownership · How did the land come in to private ownership? Why did SCC contact owners of plots on the site to ask what their intentions are? 14. Financial Services Authority · What involvement has there been from the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in authorising development at this site? 15. Site delivery · What is the likelihood of successful delivery without a joint approach? 16. Construction · There will be unacceptable levels of noise and air pollution for Century View and surrounding streets during any build period on the site.

P00508 - Former Sports ASAO- Mr Geoff Moreman, Disagree A group of local residents who have concerns about the See General Response E (p 110) in particular points 1, 2, 3, 4, Site not proposed for Ground, Bawtry Road, 407 Save Our Open Space proposal have come together to comment. The allocation is not 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, &16 allocation, no change Tinsley Group of Residents supported by this group of residents for the following reasons: needed This is the only open space in the area. Since it stopped being used as a sports ground it has developed into a ‘meadow like' area which has attracted a wealth of wildlife. The eastern area of the site frequently floods and attracts migrating birds every year. An ecology study is needed to identify what damage would be caused to the site if it is developed The draft document states that there is a local deficiency of open space, how can this be proposed for development if this is the case? The site will fall within the catchment area of Brinsworth Comprehensive School. The school is already over-subscribed and class sizes are high. This will put pressure on the school and reduce the opportunities for Brinsworth residents to send their children to this school. There are 2 established footpaths that are used by local residents to gain access towards Bawtry Rd and/or the path behind Brinsworth Comprehensive School. It is used on a daily basis by dog walkers. These should be retained. An increase in the local population would put extreme pressure on limited doctor and dentist surgeries in the area. The site is already subject to flooding. This will be made worse by filling the area with concrete. It will put the houses on Century View under greater risk of flooding and may impact on insurance premiums. Access to the site coincides with the entrances to the Aurora Sports Ground and Sheffield Hallam University Sports ground. There is already congestion and parking problems when sporting events take place. An access road to the site will add to this problem There are 3 pipelines that run directly across where access is required. There must be a danger of rupturing these pipes. This issue should be discussed with BOC. New residents are likely to use the shops and banks in Brinsworth, this is already a heavily congested area with poor parking. Development could generate even more use of this centre. There will be increased traffic through Tinsley, particularly adjacent to the junior school. Measures have already been taken to calm the traffic in this area but by increasing the traffic this will make these measures less effective. There will be unacceptable levels of noise and air pollution for Century View and surrounding streets during construction. An element of social housing will increase the risk of crime, and affect home contents insurance premiums. Compensate local residents against this increased risk and cost?

However, Brinsworth is classified as lying within "Rotherham Urban Area" in the settlement hierarchy of Rotherham's Core Strategy which is a main focus for growth, so should site P00508 come forward for residential development it would not conflict with the overall 47 Document Section Comment Name of individual/ Nature of Summary of Comment Council response Recommendation ID organisation comment strategy for this area of Rotherham.

However, the site has informed by its findings, and its potential to accommodate other not been used for formal sports for a long time and the former sports where there is a shortage, should be fully explored. The pitch area is prone to flooding, making it unusable at times. This site background states that the site is underused playing field. would need to be addressed for any new pitches. In addition the There is no explanation as to why it is underused, is this the site is not ideally located, particularly in terms of public transport result of a management decision to prevent the sporting use, or accessibility, especially for junior pitches. There could be other has the playing field fallen out of use due to lack of demand? If sites within the East Community Assembly Area that would be the site is genuinely surplus to sporting need and this can be more suitably located. Our conclusion for this site is that it demonstrated by the Playing Pitch Strategy and that the site should be retained as informal open space based primarily on cannot accommodate any latent demand for other sporting uses, the need for informal open space in the locality, and the fact that Sport England would have no objection to its loss. the site is currently greatly valued as such. The site was abandoned as a sports ground by its former owners at some time before 2003, and despite some intermittent marketing, no new sport user had come forward. The land was sold to a land banking company in 2004 and subsequently sold on to a number of new owners. The fragmented ownership would make it difficult to deliver any comprehensive scheme across this site including land assembly for a new sports ground use. P00508 - Former Sports ASAO- Mr James Hobson, Disagree They do not support the site allocation for the following reasons: See General Response E (p 110) in particular points 6,8,13 & 15 Site not proposed for Ground, Bawtry Road, 529 Signet Planning on It would involve the loss of playing fields which runs contrary to allocation, no change Tinsley behalf of: Unknown advice found in PPG17.

They consider the site could provide a valuable and important local open space to address the deficiencies as set out in the needs assessment study. The site in multiple ownership and land assembly issues will significantly question the ability of the site to come forward and be deliverable.

It will locate residential development adjacent an established community in Brinsworth on a route that benefits from public transport connections and is accessible to local services and facilities. It will deliver housing to meet the requirements of the adopted Core Strategy. The site is identified as a Greenfield opportunity in the SHLAA. The site falls within the former East Housing Market Renewal Area and within the area promoted for new housing covered by Core Strategy policies CS24 and CS25. The vast majority of the site is not within an area of flood risk. The area identified by other comments as being the extent of extreme flooding is associated with existing drains along the south eastern boundary of the site. Development of the site including a new drainage system could help to mitigate this issue. It is not accepted as there is substantive ecological value to this site. There is no evidence to suggest protected species on site at this time should prevent the development of the land. Access from Bawtry Road can be secured. A highways assessment demonstrating an appropriate junction design would be anticipated as part of a detailed development proposal. A detailed planning application can secure suitable infrastructure investment in education facilities at the time of the development should this be necessary.

This could also raise public safety concerns due to added pressure on the local road network. Development will have a negative effect on the attractiveness of the natural environment and could have a minor negative effect on the nearby designated nature conservation site. An ecological survey should be carried out to investigate the ecological value of this site and identify any negative effects on the nature conservation site. If the site were proposed for development conditions will need to be imposed to identify access for residents to sustainable modes of transport as well as reallocation of the lost open space in an area of need. 49 Document Section Comment Name of individual/ Nature of Summary of Comment Council response Recommendation ID organisation comment P00508 - Former Sports ASAO- Ms Janet Whitehouse Disagree The site allocation is not supported for the following reasons: See General Response E (p 110) in particular points 1,4,& 6 Site not proposed for Ground, Bawtry Road, 649 The open space on Bawtry Road is important for wildlife and allocation, no change Tinsley wildflowers, Sheffield values its ‘Britain in Bloom' status and needed. would be criticised for deliberately supporting the destruction of an area of value for wildlife.

East (farmland area) 314 other sites are token figures and on land which is not financially viable to develop. The site is too large and will mean the Woodhouse loses its identity and there will be no clear break between it and Beighton. It's confusing and inconsistent to identify the area as countryside in one document and then subsequently housing. The site would become a isolated community in itself and the provision of a convenience shop would not help. Development sites should not be selected purely on the basis of being financially more viable or because the land is already owned by Sheffield City Council. There are more suitable area for housing such as derelict industrial land in Attercliffe. No other site currently being consulted on is of this scale or is designated as Countryside Area. If a rural/open space feel is a requirement then several smaller scale developments right across the city should be developed. There are plenty of areas towards the Peak District within the city boundary which could be options. Road capacity is already a problem. There would be impact on wildlife. There is not sufficient capacity in local schools and doctor's surgeries. This area already has neighbouring residential institutions which have caused some anti-social problems recently and more social housing will only cause problems. Any new homes should ideally be designed in a way to allow both new and existing residents of Woodhouse consider purchase. These new homes should predominantly be larger for families with good sized gardens and off road parking. The new homes should be affordable to allow existing residents in Woodhouse to move up the property ladder to allow the existing housing stock to be made available for first time buyers, young couples, single parents etc. The new development should most definitely not include flats - Woodhouse has enough properties of this nature and a proposed development on the site of the existing library has already been agreed in principle to be developed as flats. Any new development of this scale should be designed and marketed to promote social cohesion and allow the community to flourish.

Allocating one third of the housing to Woodhouse is disproportionate and sites should instead be spread evenly across the city by first making use of empty properties and then suitable infilling. The Woodhouse East site is arable farmland and is part of a community environmental programme. The land is also a valuable green link between the River Rother and Railway Green Corridors through Linleybank Meadow, Shire Brook Valley to Shirtcliffe Valley and Bowden Houstead Woods. The farmland is also a buffer between Woodhouse and Beighton maintaining the two villages seperate identities. House building on this site will result in the unacceptable urbanisation of Woodhouse. Traffic levels especially at rush hour are a problem in Woodhouse, vehicles for 200 extra houses will seriously add to this problem. A review of Green Belt sites that are brownfield could save more valuable greenfield sites, for example, the Shirebrook School site and its unmanaged playing fields and the former Norton Aerodrome site.

This means that such sites are likely to be delivered more slowly or later than was originally forecast. The market for apartments has been badly affected by the market downturn and more sites are needed that are suitable for family housing. The SDF Core Strategy sets a target for at least 88% of new homes to be built on previously- developed (brownfield) sites over the period 2004-2026. This implies that some greenfield development will be needed to meet the requirement for new homes but, even if all the additional sites were to be developed, the brownfield target would still be comfortably exceeded. The opportunity to purchase individual self-build plots depends on the whether the land owner is prepared to sell plots in that way.

Compared to the current low traffic levels, 20 dwellings would be a significant increase. An alternative access road would not be a solution, as Evelyn Road would become a through-road, with constant traffic flow. It is ridiculous to consider this site if the reservoir may need to be relocated within the site. This would be costly and cause further disturbance to all the local residents. It would devalue properties, particularly if the new housing is marketed at a lower price, to provide affordable housing.

The transmitting station occupies an area of land mainly outside the site allocation. Within the identified red line area for the site allocation, Arqiva has a satellite receiver compound, vehicular access to the site and also a television receive pole. The satellite dishes in the compound provide various important functions which must be protected to ensure television services remain unaffected. The television pole located within the northwest area of the reservoir has to be retained at that location, as it receives signals as part of the television services broadcast from the site and due to operational reasons, cannot be easily relocated. The broadcast site needs to be accessed 24 hours a day, every day. No objection to developing reservoir land for housing, either through the site allocation process or as a windfall in the housing area. Any such development, including its scale and form, should take into full account the television broadcast site to ensure that terrestrial television broadcasting is not affected by the development. A specific Design Brief may be needed for the site. (I) The satellite receiver area should be removed from the site allocation and a buffer zone around the southern perimeter of the reservoir site is encouraged, to ensure that satellite equipment is not adversely affected by new housing development; (ii) The timber broadcast receive pole within the north west of the reservoir site should be afforded proper protection and might require a buffer zone around the pole to ensure television signals are unaffected - this would require further examination and assessment by Arqiva; (iii) The access to the broadcast site should be retained or provided for, likely separate from any residential estate roads; (iv) The scale and height of new housing development should be limited. Multi- storey housing or tall flatted development could impact on line of sight transmission dish links in/out of the broadcast site and rebroadcast links; (v) The operational broadcast site has various transmission buildings, external plant, cooling apparatus and back-up generators. Proper consideration must be given to the orientation, layout and separation of any new housing development to ensure that residential amenity is protected and there is no conflict between the two land uses.

Japanese Knotweed on the site makes it unsuitable for building. Canterbury Crescent is a very narrow road and if cars park on both sides it is not possible to drive through – with development this would become much worse. The steepness of the site would make it hard to develop and to provide off-street parking and the ability to set buildings a reasonable distance back from the road, verge and footpath.

This is one of the last green spaces in Fulwoos and is an amenity for local residents and the local community. The footpath across it is used by walkers, shoppers, dog walkers etc. I understand the land was an 'open space' until several years ago when the land owner fenced it and allowed it to become weed infested, presumably in the hope of developing the land. Canterbury Crescent is very narrow and difficult for vans and emergency vehicles to get through at one end, which would be worsened with development. Houseprices in this area mean they are unaffordable to first time buyers, so building on this land will not help with the shortfall in''affordable housing''.

Work on the new Local Plan would start work on as soon as the SDF City Policies and Sites document has been adopted (early 2014). It is desirable to adopt the City Polices and Document to achieve comprehensive development plan coverage, before commencing work on a new Local Plan. The Core Strategy Inspector concluded that there was enough land available to meet housing needs during the plan period without the need for local or strategic review of the Green Belt boundary. She recommended the reallocation of some employment land to overcome any shortfall in supply. A significant number of former employment areas have been proposed as housing sites in the draft City Policies and Sites document. Although the latest Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment shows there is a significant shortfall in the 5-year supply, this is primarily due to wider economic conditions, rather than a shortage of land. The ‘credit crunch' and lack of buyers ( effective demand) for new housing has meant that many of the sites with planning permission that were deemed deliverable in the first SHLAA are now unlikely to achievable within the next five years or are likely to be developed more slowly. The additional sites will add to the overall housing land supply and some are deliverable within the next 5 years. However, there is a high risk that releasing Green Belt land would simply divert building away from brownfield sites within the urban areas because there is a limit to the number of homes the market will deliver due to the reduced demand.

103 General Response A

P00497 Lydgate Reservoir, Evelyn Road - This response relates to all of the issues raised and covers issues raised by other objectors to the site allocation.

1. Site no longer allocated - Due to the operational update provided by Yorkshire Water outside the consultation period (see comment ASAO 569), there is no reasonable prospect that this site would be developed for residential development during the Plan period. Therefore the site will not be allocated, although as it will remain in the Housing Policy Area and could come forward as a windfall site. However this is not due to issues raised by any of the consultees’ issues below.

2. Residential Amenity - Any planning application would need to take account of the amenity of current residents and not result in overshadowing, loss of privacy, or harm to living conditions. Therefore these reasons would not prevent development of the site as a whole. Policy F1 has been amended, so that any external lighting resulting from the development would not have unacceptable impacts for people living nearby.

3. Ecology - The ecological value is insufficient to prevent allocation of the site, although Policy G1 require the biodiversity to be improved in the development, healthy mature trees to be retained and any trees that need to be removed would need replacing.

4. Transmitting Station - The owners of the transmitting station (Arqiva) have proposed, following the consultation period, some conditions on development (on the basis that the land levels are not raised) which would ensure that ICNIRP guidelines are met and therefore that there are no health and safety issues in relation to the broadcast mast. The proximity to the mast may affect individual’s decision to purchase, but there is no evidence that this would affect the deliverability of this site, or lengthen the time-period over which the site would be developed. Such conditions would need to be met, if a planning application was submitted, but are not incorporated in the City Policies and Sites Document as the site is no longer to be allocated. The mast at the police station already conforms to ICNIRP standards for general public exposure, so it won’t be an issue if additional housing was to be built at the Lydgate Reservoir site.

5. Parking and access – (ASAO62). Evelyn Road is the standard width for a road of this nature, and would be able to support traffic from proposed development on a site this size. There is no alternative access to consider. As part of the consideration of any planning application, it will be necessary to ensure that bin lorries and emergency services can access the site. If the site had been allocated, a condition of developing the housing allocation would be to require waiting restrictions on one side of the road, and communal visitor parking within the site, which would need to also accommodate any displaced parking of existing residents. The pavement would remain even if the current gates to the reservoir had to be moved, but the street trees and grass verges won’t need affected. If off-street parking is not wide enough on the right hand side, residents can apply to the Council to increase the width of the dropped crossing at their expense. Similarly obtaining consent from the Council for a disabled parking space is outside the scope of the SDF consultation. Any development at the Lydgate Reservoir site should not affect the street trees or the grass verges on Evelyn Road.

6. Construction traffic - a condition would be included in any planning consent which required details of construction traffic movement areas on site along with details of provision for contractor parking.

7. Traffic - If a planning application was submitted on this site for residential development, it is not expected that traffic from a site this size would have a material impact on Lydgate Lane.

8. School Places - The small size of the site means that if the site was developed for housing, the additional pupils from the housing development would be marginal, and would be resolved alongside solutions to accommodate existing school population increases.

9. Dwelling Numbers (ASAO62) - The dwelling capacity is based on the appropriate density of the site (i.e,. 30-50 dwellings per hectare), in relation to Core Strategy CS26. The dwelling capacity will however be reduced to take account of broadcasting station and TV receive pole (see ASAO380), so the land available for housing development is reduced thus affecting dwelling numbers. The broadcasting station restricts development to two storeys on most of the site (see ASAO380) but there are no conditions to be added requiring bungalows.

10. Other Allocations suggested -The draft SDF City Policies and Sites document and Proposals Map (2010) has already proposed allocating a large number of sites for housing (including the Hallam Towers site (P00346) and the Tapton Hall of Residence (P00353). Norton Centre is not a suitable site for a housing allocation due to its location.

11. Housing Land Supply - New student accommodation contributes to the supply of housing and meets a specific need. However, our latest assessments of housing land supply suggest that, because of changes in the housing market, the land supply to 2026 is very tight. More sites are needed that are suitable for family housing and the proposed additional sites would provide more choice for developers, particularly in areas where relatively few other allocated sites have already been proposed.

104 General Response B

P00517 Canterbury Crescent - This response relates to all of the issues raised and covers issues raised by other objectors to the site allocation.

1. Housing Land Supply –The latest assessments of housing land supply suggest that, because of changes in the housing market, the land supply to 2026 is very tight. The site would make a small but helpful contribution to housing supply in a part of the city where there are relatively few other suitable sites. The site is suitable for housing because it is within a housing area, and close to facilities, shops and public transport.

2. Japanese Knotweed - There is non-planning legislation concerning its management.

3. Ecology – Following ecological surveys, the dense vegetation means that there remains some uncertainty as to the extent of badger (protected species) activity on site. However it is unlikely to be sufficient to make the whole site undevelopable and no other wildlife is flagged as a reason for not developing the site. Any development should safeguard protected species and the need for mitigation should be informed by a detailed ecological survey/report. This should include the numbers and status of badger setts and foraging areas that are affected. Development would not be permitted unless it was possible to take steps to ensure the survival of the badgers in their existing range and at the same population status, with provision of adequate alternative habitats if setts and foraging areas are destroyed. The trees and adjacent woodland would be protected during and after the construction process, as required by City Policy G3.

4. Open Space Value of Site Although the land was proposed in previous consultation versions of the SDF Proposals Map as an Open Space Area, both the officer report for planning application 04/2573/FUL and the PPG17 Open Space Audit does not show any evidence that the site has sufficient open space value to be protected under Core Strategy CS47. While the area has an open space shortage, large parts of the site are almost impenetrable and very difficult to walk through, so the site can’t be identified as informal open space. The site’s value appears to be the footpath link through the site to the adjacent Crimicar Lane open space, which is required to be retained, and the site’s visual qualities of green space and attractive mature trees.

5. Affordable Housing - The site is in private ownership and, under the National Planning Policy Framework, the Council is only able to seek that a proportion of the homes built are affordable where it is economically viable to do so. There is a significant need for affordable housing but a range of different housing is required to meet Sheffield’s housing needs, including some higher value properties.

6. Electricity Cable and electric sub-station (not mentioned in this comment)- With regard to the electricity cable, the landowner and developer has not identified any significant constraints affecting the viability of developing this site. The electricity sub-station is proposed to be removed from the allocation boundary.

7. Schoolplaces – The small size of the site means that the additional pupils from the housing allocation would be marginal, and would be resolved alongside solutions to accommodate existing school population increases. We are intending to introduce a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in early 2014, in line with Government legislation. The level of this charge will be determined by viability considerations in the light of a CIL Viability Study undertaken by independent consultants.

8. Traffic, Parking and Road Width – As a standard width road (approx 5.5m), it should be adequate to accommodate the additional traffic likely to be generated. Any planning application will have to provide appropriate levels of on-site parking provision (see City Policy E2) and at the time an application is submitted it may be appropriate to give consideration as to whether waiting restrictions should be provided, however such decisions are not justified until the details of any application are known. A new access road is not necessary.

9. Parking and Traffic difficulties due to Steepness and Drainage – Steepness has not prevented past planning applications meeting off-street parking requirements or distances of buildings from the road, and would not prevent it meeting latest policies. A footway would be required to be provided as part of a planning application.

10. Impact of steepness and drainage on delivery - The developer has not identified that the viability of development would be affected. Steepness does affect the dwelling capacity of the site (see point 11).

11. Dwelling Capacity – As this site is close to high frequency bus route on Crimicar Lane, Core Strategy Policy CS26 would require a density of 40-60 dwellings per hectare. In less accessible locations, a density of 30-50 dwellings is required. The site is surrounded by a mixture of residential densities, with blocks opposite representing between 19 and 27 dwellings per hectare, and an area to the rear having a density of around 68 dwellings per hectare. Due to the steepness of the site and the surrounding trees, a density of less than 30 dwellings would be acceptable and 15 dwellings is a rounded estimate of a realistic dwelling capacity for the site.

105 General Response C

P00367 : Beighton Road - this response relates to all of the issues raised and covers issues raised by other objectors to the site allocation.

1. Amount of development in Woodhouse relative to other areas - even with the additional sites, less than 2% of the housing proposed in Sheffield is in the Woodhouse area and only 8% is in the South East Community Assembly Area. Much higher levels of new building are proposed in are proposed than in the Central, East, Northern and North East Community Assembly Areas. 2. Priority to brownfield sites - there are not enough deliverable brownfield sites to meet the housing requirement to 2026 and even with the additional sites, the supply will be very tight. Housing policy continues to give priority to the development of previously developed sites, which still make up over 90% of the city’s capacity. All potential new sites across the City have already been taken into account and an allowance for a reduction in the number of long-term vacant properties has also been made. However, additional sites are still required and this means allocating more greenfield land, in accordance with Core Strategy policy CS24. 3. Loss of open land/greenfield sites - Development of the site would not erode the open space between Woodhouse and Handsworth and there would still be significant areas of Green Belt that would prevent the merging of any settlements 4. Highways traffic, parking and congestion – national policy indicates that development should only be prevented on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe. The view from the Council’s highway engineers is that all concerns raised can be resolved - there are no issues that would prevent development taking place. Any planning application will require a transport/highways study that will highlight potential issues, including journeys to school, and suggest mitigation. It will be important to ensure all the plots are developed in a joined up way to ensure a holistic approach is taken. The appropriate amount of car parking spaces would be delivered as part of any future development through the planning application process when an application is submitted, in accordance with the Council's policies and guidelines on car parking. 5. Traffic Speeds on Beighton Road - the Council has proposed Speed Indicator Devices on the following roads in Woodhouse ward with the exact locations to be recommended shortly: Handsworth Road where road heads downhill, Retford Road, Beaver Hill Road (around fire training centre), Sheffield Road/Beighton Road, Skelton Lane, Station Road around Brunswick 6. Accessibility to shops, services and public transport - the Council is progressing a new community facility on the Tannery Lodge site in the centre of Woodhouse. A report to the Council's Cabinet on 21st March 2012 outlined the proposal for a new flexible library/community facility, Adult Learning Disabilities Service Day Care and residential development. The Cabinet agreed to the continuation and conclusion of negotiations with the preferred developer leading to the disposal of the site. Library provision and community facilities will be improved, supporting the Successful Centres Strategy and enabling delivery of a modern library service. The site lies on a main road which is a bus route with three buses per hour to the City Centre during the day. It also lies within 800m of Woodhouse District Centre where there is a high frequency bus route.. 7. Access to medical and health services - where a need arises in response to market demand it would be put to the NHS Clinical Commissioning Group and a new service commissioned where appropriate. 8. Potential harm to archaeology/local heritage - a recent independent archaeological survey of the site concluded that there is a low risk that it contains heritage assets that would significantly affect any future development proposals. 9. Potential harm to ecology - a recent ecological survey of the site has not revealed any features that would prevent development although there are hedgerows and trees that are recommended to be retained/improved as part of any development proposals. 10. School capacity issues - 364 dwellings (including sites P00509 and P00510) in the Brunswick catchment equates to a yield of 10-11 pupils per year group. Demand for places at Brunswick is high and forecast to remain so; currently around a quarter of pupils on roll at Brunswick come from out of catchment. Overall demand could be accommodated within schools across the wider area. There is a continuing surplus of places forecast at secondary level in South East Sheffield so no problems are expected, provided that the strategy for expansions elsewhere is implemented. As a matter of course school capacity is taken into account when planning applications are considered and there may be scope for funding for additional capacity from the Community Infrastructure Levy. 11. Proximity to St Anne’s Hospice – the Hospice aims to integrate with the Woodhouse community and although the client group (with addiction and mental health issues) can occasionally mean a certain level of anti-social behaviour, the police and its partners work closely with the staff and service users to keep this to a minimum. There would be no reason not to allocate the site for housing based on this information and ongoing action. The Hospice is not opposed to any new developments that offer the people of Sheffield access to quality housing.

106 12. Land instability due to coal mining - there is no mining legacy present on this proposed allocation; it lies on the surface coal resource. There are mining legacy features on the land to the immediate south of the site including a coal outcrop, mine entries and historic workings. However, this nearby mining legacy should not affect development on this allocation. The Coal Authority has been consulted and has raised no objection to the proposed allocation. 13. Land contamination from Beighton Tip - the Environment Agency have stated that the owners of this closed landfill site are required to comply with standard monitoring conditions (which monitor gas migration and leachates) and so the landfill licence is not yet surrendered. Any developer will need to satisfy themselves of any implications the presence of this closed landfill site has for development of the nearby sites. A Ground Gas Risk Assessment has already been completed on the site and gas migration is monitored by a series of boreholes at the site perimeter. There are currently no known problems with gas migration or leachates from the site. 14. Green Belt review - any review of Green Belt should be strategic and comprehensive rather than piecemeal on an opportunistic basis and needs to take account of options in neighbouring areas. An early review of the Local Plan Core Strategy, including Green Belt review is proposed once the City Policies and Sites document has been adopted Conclusion – none of the issues raised would preclude allocation of this site for housing. However, some issues will need to be reconsidered at the time that any planning application is submitted and this will be informed by the citywide policies in the document and the specific conditions attached to the site.

107 General Response D

P00509 : Junction Road, Woodhouse - This response relates to all of the issues raised and covers issues raised by other objectors to the site allocation. .

1. Amount of development in Woodhouse relative to other areas - even with the additional sites, less than 2% of the housing proposed in Sheffield is in the Woodhouse area and only 8% is in the South East Community Assembly Area. Much higher levels of new building are proposed in are proposed than in the Central, East, Northern and North East Community Assembly Areas. 2. Priority to brownfield sites - there are not enough deliverable brownfield sites to meet the housing requirement to 2026 and even with the additional sites, the supply will be very tight. Housing policy continues to give priority to the development of previously developed sites, which still make up over 90% of the city’s capacity. All potential new sites across the City have already been taken into account and an allowance for a reduction in the number of long-term vacant properties has also been made. However, additional sites are still required and this means allocating more greenfield land, in accordance with Core Strategy policy CS24. 3. Loss of open land/greenfield sites - development of the site would not erode the open space between Woodhouse and Handsworth and there would still be significant areas of Green Belt that would prevent the merging of any settlements 4. Highways traffic, parking, congestion and air pollution – national policy indicates that development should only be prevented on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe. The view from the Council’s highway engineers is that all concerns raised can be resolved - there are no issues that would prevent development taking place. Any planning application will require a transport/highways study that will highlight potential issues, including journeys to school, and suggest mitigation. The appropriate amount of car parking spaces would be delivered as part of any future development through the planning application process when an application is submitted, in accordance with the Council's policies and guidelines on car parking. 5. Accessibility to shops, services and public transport - the Council is progressing a new community facility on the Tannery Lodge site in the centre of Woodhouse. The proposal is for a new flexible library/community facility, Adult Learning Disabilities Service Day Care and residential development. The Council’s Cabinet agreed to the continuation and conclusion of negotiations with the preferred developer leading to the disposal of the site. Library provision and community facilities will be improved, supporting the Successful Centres Strategy and enabling delivery of a modern library service. The site lies within 400m of a medium frequency bus route and Woodhouse railway station. 6. Access to medical and health services - where a need arises in response to market demand it would be put to the NHS Clinical Commissioning Group and a new service commissioned where appropriate. 7. Potential harm to archaeology/local heritage - the site has been surveyed by qualified archaeologists and there is a low risk that it contains heritage assets that will significantly affect any future development proposals. 8. Potential harm to ecology and environmental work already undertaken by local community - an ecological survey of the site has been carried out and environmental work undertaken by local environmental and community groups and individuals is welcomed and supported by the Council. Conditions on development will include protection of the main community regeneration project areas; hedgerows of priority habitat value to be safeguarded; an environmental buffer to the Local Nature Site/Local Nature Reserve to the east of the site; and 3.1ha on- site open space and Green Link to be provided. It is recommended that the central part of the proposed site allocation be deleted and re-designated as Open Space Area. This results in two, smaller housing site allocations. 9. Impact on character and “rural feel” of the area – the size and type of dwellings, and their design and layout, will be determined through the planning application process and must ensure that they do not have an unacceptable impact on the character of this area and where possible enhance it. 10. School capacity issues - 364 dwellings (including sites P00367 and P00510) in the Brunswick catchment equates to a yield of 10-11 pupils per year group. Demand for places at Brunswick Primary is high and forecast to remain so but currently around a quarter of pupils on the roll come from out of catchment. Estimated increased demand could be accommodated within schools across the wider area. There is a continuing surplus of places forecast at secondary level in South East Sheffield so no problems are expected, provided that the strategy for expansions elsewhere is implemented. As a matter of course school capacity is taken into account when planning applications are considered and there may be scope for funding for additional capacity from the Community Infrastructure Levy. 11. Land instability due to coal mining - there is no mining legacy present on this proposed allocation; it lies on the surface coal resource. There are mining legacy features on the land to the immediate south of the site but the Coal Authority has been consulted and has raised no objection to the proposed allocation. 12. 12. Flood Risk and Drainage - The Council’s Strategic Flood Risk Assessment designates the site as being within a Low Probability Flood Zone, and does not show an overland flow path across the site.

108 13. As the site comprises greenfield land, the Council’s planning and drainage requirements state that surface water must be reduced to 5 litres per second per hectare on all sites over 1 hectare. Any developer would have to design attenuation methods to achieve this requirement. This is equivalent to a greenfield run-off rate, therefore there would be no additional run-off from a development on this site. 14. New public sewers have already been laid which are sufficient to support future development in this area and both surface water and foul water from the site would discharge to these new separate systems. The surface water sewer discharges to the Shire Brook and the foul sewer discharges to the sewage treatment works at Woodhouse Mill. In addition, Woodhouse Mill Sewage Treatment Works is currently being upgraded with a scheduled completion of works before the end of 2013. 15. Green Belt review - any review of Green Belt should be strategic and comprehensive rather than piecemeal on an opportunistic basis and needs to take account of options in neighbouring areas. An early review of the Local Plan Core Strategy, including Green Belt review is proposed once the City Policies and Sites document has been adopted 16. Noise from the Railway - any application for development of the site must commission a competent acoustic consultant to identify any potential noise and vibration sources i.e. traffic noise, rail noise, commercial noise and monitor accordingly with an suitable methodology. Sound attenuation works would be recommended and a standard set of planning conditions relating to noise would be applied. Conclusion

As a result of the ecological survey which has revealed the presence of the rare plant, “yellow bird’s nest”, the recommendation of the survey was to exclude an area of the site allocation around this plant along with the adjacent banking and birch-dominated woodland. This recommendation is accepted, with the result that the housing site allocation is in two parts separated by an area designated as Open Space Area.

109 General Response E

Site P00508 – Former Sports Ground, Bawtry Road, Tinsley

1. Access and traffic generation - It is accepted that the access to this site is narrow and poor, and that there is significant congestion on Bawtry Road at Peak times and when the sports grounds are in full use, the access to BOC used by significant numbers of HGV vehicles is also noted. Transport and parking and road safety issues would all be dealt with in detail as part of a planning application. It may require formalising of parking arrangements for sports clubs if needed. Access arrangements will have to accommodate the needs of the site and the two adjacent sports grounds.

A transport assessment would be required and where needed mitigation measures would be required. It would require a duplicate application to both SCC and RMBC, so RMBC could pick up any associated issues at the same time.

The site allocation boundary which indicates the area specifically allocated for development of housing was drawn specifically to exclude the area indicated as important for wildlife which extends up to the only access point at this site. The access can clearly be seen on the underlying base map. Additional land may need to be acquired to take the access over the verge into Bawtry Road, and land ownership for this area has yet to be proven. The developer would be responsible for acquiring any additional land needed to deliver an acceptable access from the main road into this site. Specific access design would be part of any planning application.

2. Footpaths - It is agreed that there should be specific reference to the existing footpath, the claimed right of way and the need to accommodate pedestrian access and through routes at this site. Any development proposals will be expected to address the need for footpath routes, and this would be dealt with in detail at the planning application stage.

3. Gas Pipelines - The pipelines are buried, live and fully operational. BOC have been consulted, any development plans should be discussed with BOC before applying for planning permission. If development were proposed offset distances from normally occupied buildings would be required, any road crossings above them would need to be in accordance with approved BOC designs.

The pipelines are already as close to the northern boundary of the site as possible, in order to minimise any impact on future development. It is unlikely that the pipes would be relocated, and any development at this site would have to make allowances for them and accommodate their needs.

4. Ecology - This site has been appraised by the City Council Ecology team. The eastern part of the site has importance as a wetland with associated pond and scrub habitats. The boundary as shown on the Draft Proposals Map is confirmed. It also indicates that a buffer area should be maintained as a foraging area for wildlife, the extent of this area is shown on a plan. The study is available to view on the Council's website.

5. Flooding and drainage - It is agreed that the wetland which results from the regular flooding contributes to the wildlife value on the site.

There is limited desktop information about drainage at this site. In order to find out what is causing the flooding and how it possibly could be addressed a full detailed geotechnical study would need to be undertaken, this would be done as part of a planning application. As part of the site is within Flood Zone 2 and it is over a hectare in size a Flood Risk Assessment and drainage study would be required from the developer and necessary mitigation measures identified. This would need to demonstrate that the site can be properly drained, that drainage and sewer capacity is available or will be provided, and that protected ecology is not adversely affected. It should also be noted that addressing the drainage issues that result in site flooding may also permanently remove the wetland areas.

National policy on flood risk is contained within the NPPF (paragraph 100.) and the Core Strategy in CS67. The Flood Zone was identified by the Environment Agency as part of the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment which supports this policy and any review would have to be discussed and evidenced to them.

If the site was developed and Century View properties did suffer from flooding, then the question of who would be liable would depend on the source of the flooding. If flooding occurred due to natural overland flow (e.g. water running from higher to lower ground) then no one is liable for this. If flooding occurred due to say, flooding from a pond, soak away or blocked stream for example, then the owner or management company would be held liable.

6. Open Space - An open space assessment has been conducted to look at the available amount of open space locally. The assessment does indicate a large amount of formal open space (as the site is surrounded by private sports grounds) but a severe shortage of informal open space. It is concluded that this site is needed as open space in an area of significant informal open space shortage, and that the area is currently greatly valued as such.

7. Other brownfield sites - Our assessment of land supply is based on a comprehensive assessment of all vacant land. The assessment of total supply is based on what could be developed on brownfield sites and underused/ vacant greenfield sites in or at the edge of the built-up areas. We are already proposing to reallocate some land that was allocated for employment uses in 110 the UDP (e.g. at Oxclose; near Meadowhall, along the Canal at Attercliffe and at Stocksbridge). However, many other brownfield sites would be unsuitable for housing, for example, because it is isolated from other residential areas or located close to industrial areas, and residential amenity would be poor. Land is also needed for employment uses and the plan also has to provide for expected employment land, and supply for this is already tight.

8. Not a surplus sports ground - As a former sports ground it has not yet been formally declared surplus to needs and could provide an opportunity to remedy a sports pitch deficiency identified in the Playing Pitch Strategy. However our conclusion for this site is based primarily on the need for informal open space in the locality.

9. Local Amenities and school places - It is agreed that presently there are limited facilities in Tinsley, but new residents may choose a variety of places to do their shopping, or stimulate the creation of additional facilities. If there is a need for additional health facilities as a result of new housing development then this would be assessed by the NHS Clinical Commissioning Group and a new service commissioned where appropriate.

Normally the need for school places and requirement for developer contributions would be assessed as part of a planning application. However, by the time the document is adopted Sheffield will have a Community Infrastructure Levy that will replace this (known as S106 contributions); this will be supported by proposed City Policy A1. Provision for schools where there is evidence of insufficient local space for demand arising from new development will be a priority area for the levy.

10. Social housing - Core Strategy policy CS41 specifically promotes housing developments that meet a range of housing needs including types of tenures. The planning process is expected to secure a proportion of affordable housing as part of all new housing developments where it is practicable and financially viable. Affordable housing is needed by a wide range of people, and a mix of people from all levels of the community helps to create vibrant and safe communities.

11. Bus Services - It is agreed that there is no high frequency bus service that would serve this site. If there is a need for additional public transport to serve new housing then measures could be taken by the PTE and bus operators to mitigate the shortage, e.g. by rerouting of bus services or new services where viable.

12. Air Quality - As poor air quality is nearly always due to traffic movements in this area and the whole city is within an Air Quality Management Area, any development proposal would be expected to show how any additional impact would be mitigated.

13. Site ownership - The site has always been in private ownership, the site was sold by previous owners DC Cook to a land banking company.

Agents acting for landowners at this site had made comments about the designation of this site at the Preferred Options Consultation in 2010. Sites that the City Council were aware of were put forward for further consultation at the Additional Options and it would have been unreasonable not to look at it alongside the other identified sites as part of a general search to identify more housing land.. It is normal practice to consult landowners about the future use of their land and all known landowners have been consulted for sites allocations proposed for the local plan.

14. Financial Services Authority - The FSA do not authorise development of land. They do though regulate and authorise schemes that may be ‘Collective Investment Schemes' and investigate cases where there may have been a breech of rules. The City Council has passed on all its knowledge of this site to the FSA for their information

15. Site delivery - The fragmented ownership would, admittedly, make it difficult to deliver any comprehensive scheme across this site

16. Construction - This would be dealt with as part of a planning application by placing conditions on hours of work/delivery and other construction issues such as the need for wheel washing/dust dampening as needed.

111 General Response F

P00502 Wiggan Farm - This response relates to all of the issues raised by this objection and covers issues raised by other objectors to the site’s allocation.

1. Highways traffic and site Access - National policy indicates that development should only be prevented on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe. Although the impact is not expected to be severe enough in this location to preclude allocation, any planning applications will require a transport/highways study. This would highlight potential issues including journeys to school and suggest mitigation to address problems that are identified.

2. Accessibility to shops, services and public transport - The increase in the number of customers created by the development will tend to support the financial viability of local shops and services. The bus service is one every 30 minutes; the frequency of service required in rural areas (see policy C1) is lower because there are fewer potential passengers, affecting the viability of services.

3. Access to medical and health services - The Primary Care Trust have indicated that provision of GPs’ and dentists’ surgeries is in response to market demand. Any capacity issues will normally be brought for consideration by local GPs and dental practitioners to the Clinical Commissioning Group for consideration. They should not preclude housing site allocations and allocations would provide advance warning of future increases in demand to be provided for.

4. Potential harm to archaeology/ local heritage - A recent independent archaeological survey of the site concluded that there is a low risk that it contains heritage assets that would significantly affect any future development proposals.

5. Potential harm to ecology - A recent ecological survey found that the site’s pasture is ecologically poor though it is used by birds such as barn swallow and house sparrow as a foraging area. Further surveys will be required, e.g. to determine implications for bats or amphibians, at the planning application stage but none of the findings precluded housing development in principle.

6. School capacity issues - In terms of primary school capacity, demand for places at Oughtibridge fluctuates in relation to the population, with alternatives limited by rural location in years where demand exceeds supply. An additional 105 dwellings in the Oughtibridge catchment area would be expected to yield three additional pupils per year. On current population trends, it is possible that in some years, additional capacity would be required but not on a scale that could not be managed and not enough to preclude allocation of the proposed sites. In terms of Secondary School capacity, Bradfield is to be expanded from 180 places per year to 210 from 2015/16. As a result, it is likely that the 4-5 pupils per year group implied by these developments could be accommodated within the new school with its capability to accommodate future limited expansion built in, though there are uncertainties about the implications of current proposals for a 6th form. As a matter of course, school capacity is taken into account when planning applications are considered and there may be scope for funding for additional capacity from the Community Infrastructure Levy.

7. Flooding/Drainage/Sewerage infrastructure - The area is within an area with a low probability of flooding and any flooding issues local to the site caused by increased surface water run-off can be addressed by development by use of sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) as required by Core Strategy policy CS67b. It is already proposed that a condition of the allocation requires the sewer pipe capacity serving the site is increased.

8. Housing policy issues - Housing policy continues to give priority to the development of previously developed sites (‘brownfield’ land), which still make up over 90% of the city’s capacity. However, there is a significant shortage of deliverable housing land available in the City to meet its housing needs. All potential new sites across the City have already been taken into account and allowances for vacant properties and properties that are on the market have been made. However, additional sites are still required and this means allocating more greenfield land, in accordance with Core Strategy policy CS24. To help create a mixed community, the development should increase the mix of housing types in the local area, which could include a range of house types. As the site has capacity for more than 15 new homes, Core Strategy policy CS40 and policy D3, requires a contribution towards affordable housing up to the target level of 40%, subject to an assessment of financial viability.

9. Biological land contamination - Further investigation has revealed no evidence of claims of infected animals buried on the site but in order to verify such claims, an invasive land contamination survey must be undertaken prior to a planning application, supervised by the DEFRA Animal Health team. The results will inform a Biological Land Contamination report to be submitted in support of a planning application suggesting any necessary mitigation.

10. Open Space policy – Although the site is greenfield, it has no recreational value and it was included in a Housing Area in the Unitary Development Plan. The opportunity remains to include open space in response to conditions about character.

112 11. Loss of privacy and views - detailed proposals will be scrutinised at the planning application stage to ensure that there is no overlooking or loss of privacy to adjacent residents through poor design and layout (see policy C2). However, the right to a private view is not a material planning consideration.

12. Harm to village character - It is accepted that the estimated number of dwellings was too high given the site’s characteristics but this number was only indicative and would not be stated in the allocation itself. The configuration of the site may constrain density. The condition should extend to respecting distinctive site characteristics when detailed designs are prepared. Policy G5 also contains safeguards for area character.

13. Agricultural land protection - Current policy would prevent development on the best and most versatile agricultural land or that would seriously harm agricultural activities or the viability of a farm. The best and most versatile land is defined as land classified by DEFRA as grade 1, 2, and 3a but the site is classified as only grade 4

14. Green Belt – Although Worrall, Oughtibridge and are surrounded by Green Belt, they are not within it and therefore sites within their boundaries (including this site) are not subject to the high level of protection that would apply beyond the village boundary.

Conclusion – none of the issues raised would preclude allocation of this site for housing. However, some will need to be reconsidered at the time that any planning application is submitted and this will be informed by the citywide policies in the document and the specific conditions attached to the site.

113 General Response G

P00517 Canterbury Crescent - This response relates to all of the issues raised and covers issues raised by other objectors to the site allocation.

See general response to Comment ASAO 186 - see points 1, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11. Also,

1. Uptodate national policy - the National Planning Policy Framework has now replaced previous national planning policy guidance, although both require the Council to ensure that sufficient sites are allocated in the forthcoming SDF City Policies and Sites document to meet the housing growth target already set by the SDF Core Strategy (adopted in 2009).

2. Economic Situation on Market Demand - In order to comply with the National Planning Policy Framework, the Council needs to ensure that sufficient sites are allocated in the forthcoming SDF City Policies and Sites document to meet the housing growth target already set by the SDF Core Strategy (adopted in 2009). Even if market conditions mean that allocated sites are not developed by 2026, it is important to reserve land for long-term needs to make sure that it is not taken for other uses (preventing houses from being built) and to enable people to know what changes are likely to happen (or not happen) in their neighbourhoods.

3. Planning Policy on Brownfield Development - The overall approach for accommodating future growth is to focus new development within the existing urban areas and the SDF Core Strategy states that at least 88% of new homes should be built on previously-developed (brownfield) sites. Applications for development on greenfield sites (including on this site) were, in the past, refused permission whilst the Council was able to demonstrate a 5-year supply of deliverable brownfield sites. However, the 5-year supply is now significantly below the required level and our latest assessments of housing land supply show that not all Sheffield’s housing needs can be met on brownfield sites and, because of changes in the housing market, the land supply to 2026 is very tight. House prices have fallen and many of the brownfield sites already identified for development are currently not economically viable or are concentrated in certain areas. This means that such sites are likely to be delivered more slowly or later than was originally forecast. The SDF Core Strategy’s target of at least 88% of new homes to be built on brownfield sites over the period 2004-2026 implies that some greenfield development will be needed to meet the requirement for new homes. Even if all the additional sites were to be developed, the brownfield target would still be comfortably exceeded. The draft SDF City Policies and Sites document and Proposals Map (2010) has already proposed reallocating a large amount of land that was previously allocated for business or industrial uses for housing. However, not all vacant or derelict land is suitable for reuse for housing and some land still needs to be reserved for employment and other uses.

4. Loss of Open Space across the city- If all the additional sites were developed, it would lead to the loss of 6 hectares (0.2%) of land identified as open space in the Sheffield Open Space Audit and 20 hectares of other greenfield land (either in agricultural use or not recorded by the Audit). Development of the sites would potentially lead to the creation or improvement of 8.5 hectares of recreational open space (this would be a condition of development for several of the proposed sites).

5. Views - City Policy G10 would prevent problems of overlooking and loss of privacy. Loss of views to individual properties and the impact of development on adjoining property values are not valid planning considerations. Retaining the views here generally would not be a sufficient reason to prevent any development here.

114 General Response H

P00505 Platts Lane/Oughtibridge Lane, Oughtibridge - This response relates to all of the issues raised by this objection and covers issues raised by other objectors to the site’s allocation. Please note: the site has now been joined with sites P00267 and P00442 and renamed to form the single site allocation P00521 Platts Lane/Oughtibridge Lane in the Pre-submission City Policies and Sites document.

1. Highways, traffic and site access issues - National policy indicates that development should only be prevented on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe. Although the impact is not expected to be severe enough in this location to preclude allocation, any planning applications will require a transport/highways study. This would highlight potential issues including journeys to school and suggest mitigation to address problems that are identified.

2. Accessibility to shops, services and public transport - The increase in the number of customers created by the development would tend to support the financial viability of local shops and services. The site's allocation as part of a larger site (P00521 also including P00267 and P00442) enables the provision of a bridleway bridge across the railway line as conditioned on the allocation, in consultation with Network Rail, making access to the village centre and local bus stops safer while providing safe access to the countryside for all.

3. Access to medical and health services - The Primary Care Trust have indicated that provision of GPs’ and dentists’ surgeries is in response to market demand. Any capacity issues will normally be brought for consideration by local GPs and dental practitioners to the Clinical Commissioning Group for consideration. They should not preclude housing site allocations and allocations would provide advance warning of future increases in demand to be provided for.

4. Potential harm to archaeology/ local heritage - A recent independent Archaeological survey of the site concluded that there are no recorded sites or monuments within this allocation. The site is close to Oughtibridge Hall (possible medieval origins) and appears to have remained undeveloped. A desk-based assessment would be required at the planning application stage and an evaluation may then be needed.

5. Potential harm to ecology – The pasture is considered to be of little ecological value though this would be followed up in relation to specific proposals when any planning application is received.

6. School capacity issues - In terms of primary school capacity, demand for places at Oughtibridge fluctuates in relation to the population, with alternatives limited by rural location in years where demand exceeds supply. An additional 105 dwellings in the Oughtibridge catchment area would be expected to yield three additional pupils per year. On current population trends, it is possible that in some years, additional capacity would be required but not on a scale that could not be managed and not enough to preclude allocation of the proposed sites. In terms of Secondary School capacity, Bradfield is to be expanded from 180 places per year to 210 from 2015/16. As a result, it is likely that the 4-5 pupils per year group implied by these developments could be accommodated within the new school with its capability to accommodate future limited expansion built in, though there are uncertainties about the implications of current proposals for a 6th form. As a matter of course, school capacity is taken into account when planning applications are considered and there may be scope for funding for additional capacity from the Community Infrastructure Levy.

7. Flooding/Drainage/Sewerage infrastructure - The area is within an area with a low probability of flooding and any flooding issues local to the site caused by increased surface water run-off can be addressed by development through the use of sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) as required by Core Strategy policy CS67b.

8. Housing policy issues - Housing policy continues to give priority to the development of previously developed sites (‘brownfield’ land), which still make up over 90% of the city’s capacity. However, there is a significant shortage of housing land available in the City that is deliverable to meet its housing needs. All potential new sites across the City have already been taken into account and allowances for vacant properties and properties that are on the market have also been made. However, additional sites are still required and this means allocating more greenfield land, in accordance with Core Strategy policy CS24. To help create a mixed community, the development should increase the mix of housing in the local area, which could include a range of house types. As the site has capacity for more than 15 new homes, Core Strategy policy CS40 and policy D3, require a contribution towards affordable housing up to the target level of 40%, subject to an assessment of financial viability. 9. ]No point 9]

10. Open Space policy – Although the site is greenfield site, it has no recreational value and it was included in a Fringe Industry and Business Area in the Unitary Development Plan and open space policy would not prevent the site’s development.

11. Loss of privacy and views - detailed proposals will be scrutinised at the planning application stage to ensure that there is no overlooking or loss of privacy to adjacent residents through poor design and layout (see policy C2). However, the right to a private view is not a material planning consideration.

12. Harm to village character - Proposals must comply with Local Plan policy relating to the area’s character (see policy G5).

115 13. Agricultural land protection - Current policy would prevent development on the best and most versatile agricultural land or that would seriously harm agricultural activities or the viability of a farm. The best and most versatile land is defined as land classified by DEFRA as grade 1, 2, and 3a but the site is classified as only grade 4.

14. [No point 14]

15. Employment – There is a specialised market for industrial uses in the rural area of Sheffield and although it has provided jobs within the rural area, manufacturing businesses in Oughtibridge have chosen to relocate in preferred locations for such businesses in the Dearne, Upper Don and Lower Don valleys. Designating the land for industry once it has become surplus to requirements and there is no market demand would not be a sustainable use of the land especially as there is an acknowledged shortage of housing land in Sheffield.

16. [No point 16]

17. Railway station provision – development should respect the setting of Oughtibridge station and the proposals for a heritage railway link via this route should provide for existing pedestrian links as conditioned on the allocation. However, the proposals are not yet firm enough to justify a requirement for land to be safeguarded for a station or a station car park within the site.

Conclusion – none of the issues raised would preclude allocation of this site for housing. The site would be physical joined with the site P00267 and P00442 to encourage a more holistic and sustainable approach to development. Some issues may need to be reconsidered when any planning application is submitted; and their re-examination will be informed by the citywide policies in the document and the specific conditions attached to the site.

116 General Response I

P00507 Worrall Hall Farm - This response relates to all of the issues raised by this objection and also covers issues raised by other objectors to the site’s allocation.

1. .Highways, traffic and site access issues - National policy indicates that development should only be prevented on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe. Although the impact is not expected to be severe enough in this location to preclude allocation, any planning applications will require a transport/highways study. This would highlight potential issues including journeys to school and suggest mitigation to address problems that are identified.

They should not preclude housing site allocations and allocations would provide advance warning of future increases in demand to be provided for.

4. Potential harm to archaeology/ local heritage - A recent independent archaeological survey of the site concluded that there was no evidence that it should not be allocated. Further investigation would be needed when a planning application was submitted to establish the presence/absence, significance and condition of any heritage assets at the site. A staged evaluation may be necessary which should be supported by a Heritage Statement that includes an assessment of the impact of the specific development proposals.

5. Potential harm to ecology – The pasture is considered to be of little ecological value though this would be followed up in relation to specific proposals when any planning application is received.

6. School capacity issues - In terms of primary school capacity, demand for places at Oughtibridge fluctuates in relation to the population, with alternatives limited by rural location in years where demand exceeds supply. An additional 105 dwellings in the Oughtibridge catchment area would be expected to yield three additional pupils per year.

To help create a mixed community, the development should increase the mix of housing types in the local area, which could include a range of house types. As the site has capacity for more than 15 new homes, Core Strategy policy CS40 and policy D3, require a contribution towards affordable housing up to the target level of 40%, subject to an assessment of financial viability.

9. Biological land contamination - Further investigation has revealed no evidence of claims of infected animals buried on the site but if verified an invasive land contamination survey would be undertaken at the time of a planning application, supervised by the DEFRA Animal Health team, in order to determine what type of mitigation is necessary.

10. Open Space policy – Although the site is greenfield, it has no recreational value and it was included in a Housing Area in the Unitary Development Plan. The opportunity remains to include open space in response to conditions about character.

11. Loss of privacy, daylight and views - detailed proposals will be scrutinised at the planning application stage to ensure that there is no overlooking or loss of privacy to adjacent residents through poor design and layout (see policy C2).

14. Green Belt – Although Worrall, Oughtibridge and Wharncliffe Side are surrounded by Green Belt, they are not within it and are therefore not subject to the high level of policy protection that would apply beyond the village boundary.

Conclusion – none of the issues raised would preclude allocation of this site for housing. However, some will need to be reconsidered when any planning application is submitted; and their re- examination will be informed by the citywide policies in the document and the specific conditions attached to the site.

118 General Response J

P00503 Former Sports Ground, Greaves Lane, Stannington - This response relates to all of the issues raised by this objection and also covers issues raised by other objectors to the site’s allocation.

1. Highways, traffic and site access issues - National policy indicates that development should only be prevented on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe. Although the impact arising from this proposal is not expected to be severe enough to preclude allocation, any planning applications would require a transport/highways study. This would highlight potential issues and suggest mitigation measures to address problems that are identified. A new vehicular access will be required to serve the development.

2. Accessibility to public transport, shops and services – The site is well served by a high-frequency bus route and local shops and services in Pond Close Neighbourhood Centre and is therefore a sustainable location for development. The small increase in the number of customers created by the development would tend to support the financial viability of local shops and services.

3. Access to medical and health services - The Primary Care Trust have indicated that provision of GPs’ and dentists’ surgeries is in response to market demand. Any capacity issues will normally be brought for consideration by local GPs and dental practitioners to the Clinical Commissioning Group for consideration. They should not preclude housing site allocations and allocations would provide advance warning of future increases in demand.

4. Potential harm to archaeology/ local heritage - A recent archaeological survey of the site concluded that a desk-based Archaeological Assessment would be needed before any planning application is submitted and the application should be supported by a Heritage Statement that includes an assessment of the impact of the specific development proposals.

5. Potential harm to ecology – An ecological survey has been undertaken to identify any issues that would prevent allocation of the site. It produced no evidence to preclude allocation but it recommended a full mammal survey to be submitted with any planning application that identifies issues and suggests mitigation.

6. School capacity issues - In terms of primary school capacity, the Education Authority’s view is that an additional 50 dwellings in the Stannington area would be expected, yielding between 1 and 2 pupils per year group. This is unlikely to be an issue in terms of school capacity. In terms of Secondary School capacity, Bradfield is to be expanded from 180 places per year to 210 from 2015/16. As a result, it is likely that the 4-5 pupils per year group implied by these developments could be accommodated within the new school, which has the capability to accommodate future limited expansion built in though there are uncertainties about the implications of current proposals for a 6th form. As a matter of course, school capacity is taken into account when planning applications are considered and there may be scope for funding for additional capacity from the Community Infrastructure Levy.

7. Flooding/Drainage/Sewerage Infrastructure - The site is in an area with a low probability of flooding and compliance with Core Strategy policy CS67b will ensure that sustainable urban drainage methods are used in order to prevent surface water flooding locally.

8. Housing policy issues - Housing policy continues to give priority to the development of previously developed sites, which still make up over 90% of the city’s capacity. However, there is a significant shortage of deliverable housing land to meet the City’s needs. All potential new sites across the City have already been taken into account and allowances for vacant properties and properties that are on the market have also been made. However, additional sites are still required and this means allocating more greenfield land, in accordance with Core Strategy policy CS24. To help create a mixed community, the development should increase the mix of housing types in the local area, which could include a range of house types. As the site has capacity for more than 15 new homes, under Core Strategy policy CS40 and policy D3, a contribution towards affordable housing will be required, up to the target level of 40%, subject to an assessment of financial viability.

9. [No point 9]

10. Open Space policy – There is an acknowledged shortage of open space in the area. Although the site currently contributes to the area’s open space supply, it is not accessible. Allocating the site for development, will enable half of it to be developed as usable and accessible open space and the allocation is conditioned to ensure the open space is provided.

11. Privacy and views - detailed proposals will be scrutinised at the planning application stage to ensure that there is no overlooking or loss of privacy to adjacent residents through poor design and layout (see policy C2). However, the right to a private view is not a material planning consideration.

12. Harm to area’s character - Proposals must comply with Local Plan policy relating to the areas character (see policy G5).

119 Conclusion – The loss of this open space, which is not publicly accessible, will be compensated for by provision of accessible open space on site and provision of new homes in a sustainable location. None of the issues raised would prevent conditional development of this site for housing.

General Response K

P00506 Hawthorn Avenue, Stocksbridge/Coppice Close - This response relates to all of the issues raised by this objection and also covers issues raised by other objectors to the site’s allocation.

1. Highways, traffic and site access issues - National policy indicates that development should only be prevented on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe. Although the impact is not expected to be severe enough in this location to preclude allocation, any planning applications would require a transport/highways study. This would highlight potential issues including journeys to school, bus stops and the condition of surrounding roads, and suggest mitigation to address problems that are identified.

2. Accessibility to public transport, shops and services - The increase in the number of customers created by the development would tend to support to the financial viability of local shops and services. The frequency of public transport serving this part of Stocksbridge is less than desirable, but frequencies and routes are commercial decisions made by bus service providers. Their decisions reflect levels of patronage and building new homes tends to support improvements to bus services.

3. Access to medical and health services - The Primary Care Trust assures us that GPs and Dentists surgeries are run as small businesses, reacting to market demand. Any capacity issues will normally be brought for consideration by local GPs and dental practitioners to the Clinical Commissioning Group for consideration, and should not be a material factor concerning proposed housing site allocations.

4. Potential harm to archaeology/ local heritage - A recent independent archaeological survey of the site found that there are no recorded sites or monuments in the vicinity. However, the site is close to early mill sites on New Hall Brook and appears to have remained undeveloped. A desk-based assessment would be required to inform a heritage statement to support a planning application.

5. Potential harm to ecology – An ecological survey has recommended a 15-metre buffer between New Hall Wood and any built development. This effectively reduces the capacity of the site by reducing its developable area.

6. School capacity issues - In terms of primary school capacity, housing proposals are not currently expected to cause problems. However, continued development or an increase in the local population could change this. In terms of Secondary School capacity, developer contributions are being sought from three developments to address a single year deficit forecast for 2018/19. There may be scope for additional funding from the Community Infrastructure Levy to enable development to proceed. The issue would be checked out when any planning application is received.

7. Flooding/Drainage capacity – The steep slope of the area and the position of existing drainage connections create challenges for the design of a suitable drainage system but they can be solved at a cost to the developer, including by use of sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) as required by Core Strategy policy CS67b. The area is within an area with a low overall probability of flooding and any flooding issues local to the site, e.g. Manchester Road, can be partially solved by the development not contributing to existing problems by use of sustainable design techniques. Requiring a developer to solve existing flooding issues that are not an impact of the development would be unreasonable.

8. Housing policy issues - Housing policy continues to give priority to the development of previously developed sites, which still make up over 90% of the city’s capacity. However, there is a significant shortage of housing land available in the city that is deliverable to meet its housing needs. All potential new sites across the city have already been taken into account and allowances for vacant properties and properties that are on the market have also been made. However, additional sites are still required and this means allocating more greenfield sites like this one, in accordance with Core Strategy policy CS64. To help create a mixed community, the development should increase the mix of housing types in the local area which could include a range of house types. As the site has capacity for more than 15 new homes, Core Strategy policy CS40 and policy D3, require a contribution towards affordable housing up to the target level of 40%, subject to an assessment of financial viability.

9. [No point 9]

10. Open Space policy – Although the site is greenfield, it has no recreational value and it was allocated as a Housing Site in a Housing Area in the Unitary Development Plan. Open space policy would not prevent the site’s development. The requirement for an environmental buffer to protect the ecology of New Hall Wood and provide open space for new residents will result in open space on site.

121 11. Loss of privacy and views - detailed proposals will be scrutinised at the planning application stage to ensure there is no overlooking or loss of privacy to adjacent residents through poor design and layout (see policy C2). However, the right to a private view is not a material planning consideration.

12. Harm to the area’s character - Proposals must comply with Local Plan policy relating to the area’s character (see policy G5).

13. Agricultural land protection - Current policy would prevent development on the best and most versatile agricultural land or that would seriously harm agricultural activities or the viability of a farm. The best and most versatile land is defined as land classified by DEFRA as grade 1, 2, and 3a but the site is classified as only grade 4.

14. Green Belt – This site is not in the Green Belt, but is within the boundaries of Stocksbridge where its development is not constrained by Green Belt Policy.

Conclusion – none of the issues raised would preclude allocation of this site for housing. However, some will need to be reconsidered when a planning application is submitted; and their re- examination will be informed by citywide Local Plan policies and the specific conditions attached to the site.

122 General Response L

P00510 : Woodhouse East (farmland area) - this response relates to all of the issues raised and covers issues raised by other objectors to the site allocation.

1. Amount of development in Woodhouse relative to other areas - even with the additional sites, less than 2% of the housing proposed in Sheffield is in the Woodhouse area and only 8% is in the South East Community Assembly Area. Much higher levels of new building are proposed in are proposed than in the Central, East, Northern and North East Community Assembly Areas. 2. Priority to brownfield sites - there are not enough deliverable brownfield sites to meet the housing requirement to 2026 and even with the additional sites, the supply will be very tight. Housing policy continues to give priority to the development of previously developed sites, which still make up over 90% of the city’s capacity. All potential new sites across the City have already been taken into account and an allowance for a reduction in the number of long-term vacant properties has also been made. However, additional sites are still required and this means allocating more greenfield land, in accordance with Core Strategy policy CS24. 3. Loss of open land/greenfield sites - development of the site would not erode the open space between Woodhouse and Handsworth and there would still be significant areas of Green Belt that would prevent the merging of any settlements. 4. Highways traffic, parking, congestion and air pollution – national policy indicates that development should only be prevented on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe. The view from the Council’s highway engineers is that all concerns raised can be resolved - there are no issues that would prevent development taking place. Any planning application will require a transport/highways study that will highlight potential issues, including journeys to school, and suggest mitigation. The appropriate amount of car parking spaces would be delivered as part of any future development through the planning application process when an application is submitted, in accordance with the Council's policies and guidelines on car parking. 5. Traffic speeds on Beighton Road - the Council has proposed Speed Indicator Devices on the following roads in Woodhouse ward with the exact locations to be recommended shortly: Handsworth Road where road heads downhill, Retford Road, Beaver Hill Road (around fire training centre), Sheffield Road/Beighton Road, Skelton Lane, Station Road around Brunswick 6. Accessibility to shops, services and public transport - the Council is progressing a new community facility on the Tannery Lodge site in the centre of Woodhouse. The proposal is for a new flexible library/community facility, Adult Learning Disabilities Service Day Care and residential development. The Council’s Cabinet agreed to the continuation and conclusion of negotiations with the preferred developer leading to the disposal of the site. Library provision and community facilities will be improved, supporting the Successful Centres Strategy and enabling delivery of a modern library service. The site lies on a bus route with service frequency of at least three buses per hour to the City Centre during the day. 7. Access to medical and health services - where a need arises in response to market demand it would be put to the NHS Clinical Commissioning Group and a new service commissioned where appropriate. 8. Potential harm to archaeology/local heritage - the site has been surveyed by qualified archaeologists and there is a low risk that it contains heritage assets that will significantly affect any future development proposals. 9. Potential harm to ecology and environmental work already undertaken by local community - an ecological survey of the site has been carried out and environmental work undertaken by local environmental and community groups and individuals is welcomed and supported by the Council. Conditions on development will include protection of the main community regeneration project areas; hedgerows of priority habitat value to be safeguarded; an environmental buffer to the Local Nature Site/Local Nature Reserve to the east of the site; and 3.1ha on-site open space and Green Link to be provided. 10. Impact on public rights of way – public rights of way and desire lines will be preserved and enhanced as part of the development of the site. 11. School capacity issues - 364 dwellings (including sites P00367 and P00509) in the Brunswick catchment equates to a yield of 10-11 pupils per year group. Demand for places at Brunswick Primary is high and forecast to remain so but currently around a quarter of pupils on the roll come from out of catchment. Estimated increased demand could be accommodated within schools across the wider area. There is a continuing surplus of places forecast at secondary level in South East Sheffield so no problems are expected, provided that the strategy for expansions elsewhere is implemented. As a matter of course school capacity is taken into account when planning applications are considered and there may be scope for funding for additional capacity from the Community Infrastructure Levy. 12. Land instability due to coal mining - there is no mining legacy present on this proposed allocation; it lies on the surface coal resource. There are mining legacy features on the land to the immediate south of the site but the Coal Authority has been consulted and has raised no objection to the proposed allocation. 13. Agricultural land protection – the land is a mixture of Grade 2 and 3a agricultural land which is classed as 'best and most versatile land' under the national classification. Although national planning policy favours the development of lower value agricultural land, the overriding need for additional housing land is judged to outweigh its loss.

123 14. Flood Risk and Drainage - the Council’s Strategic Flood Risk Assessment designates the site as being within a Low Probability Flood Zone, and does not show an overland flow path across the site.

As the site comprises greenfield land, the Council’s planning and drainage requirements state that surface water must be reduced to 5 litres per second per hectare on all sites over 1 hectare. Any developer would have to design attenuation methods to achieve this requirement. This is equivalent to a greenfield run-off rate, therefore there would be no additional run-off from a development on this site.

New public sewers have already been laid which are sufficient to support future development in this area and both surface water and foul water from the site would discharge to these new separate systems. The surface water sewer discharges to the Shire Brook and the foul sewer discharges to the sewage treatment works at Woodhouse Mill. In addition, Woodhouse Mill Sewage Treatment Works is currently being upgraded with a scheduled completion of works before the end of 2013.

15. Green Belt review - any review of Green Belt should be strategic and comprehensive rather than piecemeal on an opportunistic basis and needs to take account of options in neighbouring areas. An early review of the Local Plan Core Strategy, including Green Belt review is proposed once the City Policies and Sites document has been adopted. Conclusion – none of the issues raised would preclude allocation of this site for housing. However, some issues will need to be reconsidered at the time that any planning application is submitted and this will be informed by the citywide policies in the document and the specific conditions attached to the site.
