However, the Act maintains an overall duty to monitor and there is clear benefit for the Council in sharing the performance and achievements of the planning service with the local community. 1.1.2 The Regulations were brought into effect on 6 April 2012 and state the Authorities’ Monitoring Report must contain the following information: The title of the Local Plans and Supplementary Planning Documents within the Local Development Scheme and the stage they have reached in preparation; if a document is behind the timetable and if so why it has fallen behind; and if any of the documents have been adopted. If any of the policies contained in the local plan are not being implemented, the reasons why they are not being implemented and the steps (if any) the Council intends to take to ensure that the policies are implemented. The net additional housing and affordable housing delivery in the Borough compared with the target specified in policy: for the period the Monitoring Report covers and the period since the policy was first adopted. If there is a neighbourhood development order or neighbourhood development plan the AMR should contain details of these documents. Information about the implementation of the Community Infrastructure Levy as set out under the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010. Details of cooperation with other local planning authorities or organisations under the Duty to Cooperate. 1.1.3 The report must be published on the Council’s website at least on a yearly basis. Therefore, this Authorities’ Monitoring Report in complying with these regulations covers the period following on from the previous AMR which ended on 31st March 2012, that is 1st April 2012 to 31st March 2013. 1.1.4 Furthermore, this Monitoring Report will act to satisfy the Council’s requirement to monitor CIL collection and expenditure as per the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended). 1.2 Approach to Monitoring 1.2.1 The AMR links the Strategic Objectives of the LDF to the ambitions of the Sustainable Community Strategy, the Council’s Vision and Aims, the Council’s Corporate Strategic Plans and Service Area priorities. The nine objectives (Managed Change; Green Environment; High Quality Design; Safe and Healthy Places; Jobs and Prosperity; Ease of Access; Housing for All; A Vibrant Culture; A Supportive Community) underpin the whole LDF. 1.2.2 For each objective in turn, Chapter 3 of this AMR outlines the overall Redbridge context, highlights important major projects and discusses the performance of policies which are relevant to the objective. Significant achievements and shortcomings are noted and corrective actions recommended where appropriate. 5 1.2.3 Flowing from this, Chapter 4 reports on the current state of the LDF and suggests any changes which may be required to the Local Development Scheme (the work programme for producing DPDs and SPDs). Chapter 5 examines the practical performance of the Council’s Development Management section in dealing with planning applications. 1.2.4 Chapter 6 sets out the Council’s CIL performance in accordance with the monitoring requirements in the CIL regulations 2010 (as amended). 1.3 The “Signs of Success” 1.3.1 In order to monitor the effectiveness of its policies, there are 72 indicators which come from a variety of sources, including the Monitoring Framework for individual adopted LDF documents; regional indicators and so on. Regularly collecting data on these “signs of success” allows comparisons to be made over time and helps show how policies are performing. 1.3.2 Appendix B shows full details for each indicator, including targets and data on performance for 2012/13 and previous years (where available). However, it is not necessary for readers to follow all this background detail in order to understand the findings of the AMR. 6 2 Chapter 2: Headlines 2.1 Signs of Success: Policy Performance Around or No target or About the Going Below target Improving above target mixed result same backwards Note: Indicators are grouped under the LDF Objective they are considered to best relate to. However, some indicators may be used in measuring performance against more than one objective. For full details of performance against the indicators see Appendix B. Indicator Result Around Target?

    Aldborough Hatch Defence Association Redbridge Local Plan 2015-2030: Pre-Submission Draft Strategic Head of Planning & Building Control London Borough of Redbridge FREEPOST RLSR-JACE HSUG Town Hall High Road ILFORD, Essex IG1 1DD 25th September 2016 Dear Sir, Redbridge Local Plan 2015-2030: Pre-Submission Draft Representations from the Aldborough Hatch Defence Association 1. The representations of the Aldborough Hatch Defence Association relate primarily to Section 3 of the Draft Local Plan (Promoting and Managing Growth) and to Policies LP1 and LP1B (Land South of Billet Road opportunity site 99). The representations also relate to paragraphs 2.2 (Table 2), 3.8.3, 3.8.4, 3.8.5, 6.1.6, 6.1.7, 6.1.9, LP 36 (C). 2. It is considered that the Draft Local Plan is not legally compliant and is not ‘sound’. It does not justify the aspirations in draft policies LP1 and LP1B, relying on erroneous evidential documentation or misinterpretation of such and in many areas the Draft Local Plan is not consistent with National and Regional policies. 3. Redbridge has put forward the Outer North East London Strategic Housing Market Assessment, prepared by Opinion Research Services, as justification for removing land south of Billet Road (Willow Farm) from Green Belt designation. It suggests that since the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment demonstrates that there are insufficient potential sites to meet the housing needs numbers for Redbridge for the period of the Local Plan, and as referred to in the Outer North East London Strategic Housing Market Assessment report, this demonstrates ‘exceptional circumstances’ to justify removing from Green Belt designation various parcels of land around the Borough, including the LP1B lands.

  • Statement Regarding Wardell Armstrong Report Green Belt Review Addendum – LBR 2441 – Feb 2017
    Save Oakfield Society R01088/01-05 Statement Regarding Wardell Armstrong Report Green Belt Review Addendum – LBR 2441 – Feb 2017 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 My name is Howard Berlin. I practice under the name of Howard Berlin Chartered Surveyors. I give my professional qualifications as a Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. I am a RICS Registered Valuer. I am also a Member of the Institute of Revenues Rating and Valuation (Honours) and a Member of the Chartered Institute of Building. 1.2 I specialise primarily in valuation but part of my work involves planning issues. 1.3 I was instructed on behalf of Save Oakfield Society on the 22nd July 2016 to prepare a Green Belt Review into the London Borough of Redbridge plans to declassify Oakfield Playing Fields from the Green Belt (Metropolitan Open Land). Wardell Armstrong have prepared a new report (February 2017) and I make the following points by way of rebuttal. 2.0 PPG2 / NPPF ASSESSMENT 2.1 It should be noted that the original Green Belt review carried out in 2010 (Stage 3 PPG2 Assessment dated May 2010, (LBR 2.4.1.a) (4.1.1 Page 9) stated that both Hainault Fields (GB13) and Fairlop Plain (GB14) scored 12 points. This is the correct methodology in advising if green belt land should be declassified. It should be noted that nothing has happened in the location to alter the score. Neither has there been any change to this in NPPF Policy. There is no evidence of any material change from Wardell Armstrong (WA) or London Borough of Redbridge It should be further noted that 12 points is the highest score for any Green Belt land in London Borough of Redbridge.

  • Wanstead Flats
    WANSTEAD FLATS Individual Site Plan Date 08/01/2020 Version Number V4 Review Date Author Fiona Martin/Geoff Sinclair Land Area 187 ha Compartment Number 38 Designations Epping Forest Land (1878 Act) Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) Registered Park and Garden Archaeological Priority Area Site of Metropolitan Importance Locally Important Geological Site Green Belt Wanstead Flats Wanstead Flats INDIVIDUAL SITE PLAN SUMMARY Wanstead Flats forms the largest of the thirty-eight management compartments that comprise Epping Forest. It is an area of open acid grassland, sports pitches, heath, scrub, woodland, scattered trees and waterbodies, located at the southern end of Epping Forest; owned and managed by the City of London Corporation (COL). Wanstead Flats has a number of statutory designations and is a hugely important resource for the people of northeast London, both for its provision of sporting facilities and also for the opportunity to experience a natural environment within urban surroundings. It is one of the few breeding sites for Skylark (Alauda arvensis) in London and is a notable stop-off for migrating birds. It has a long and well-documented history, from the historical right of commoners to graze cattle and the inception of Epping Forest as a legal entity in 1878, through to World War II and modern times. Significant predicted housing growth is planned in the local area with consequent additional visitor pressure. This Individual Site Plan lists current management considerations but also presents a strategic work programme to ensure a sustainable future for the conservation and heritage interest of Wanstead Flats, along with its immense recreational value.
