Statement of Common Ground July 2019 - Hambleton District Council 1 1 Introduction 1.1 This Statement of Common Ground is published by Hambleton Borough Council as a supporting document to the publication (Regulation 19) of the Hambleton Local Plan (in relation to development plans of neighbouring authorities as set out in Appendix 1: 'Local Authority Plan preparation and housing requirements'). It has been prepared to meet the requirements set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), see paragraph 27, that strategic policy-making authorities, such as Hambleton District Council, should produce, maintain and update one or more statement(s) of common ground throughout the plan-making process. 1.2 A statement of common ground is a written record of the progress made during the process of planning for strategic cross-boundary matters. It documents where effective co-operation is and is not happening throughout the plan-making process, and is a way of demonstrating at examination that plans are deliverable over the plan period, and based on effective joint working across local authority boundaries. For Hambleton District Council, as a local planning authority, it also forms part of the evidence required to demonstrate that we have complied with the duty to cooperate. The approach taken in preparing this statement is in accordance with the requirements of the national Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). 1.3 It is important to note that this is a working document, reflecting the fact that co-operation is ongoing in relation to the issues identified and that this will evolve as plan making progresses across all the local planning authorities identified below. Further iterations of the Statement of Common Ground will be published at key stages of the plan making process.

18 Statement of Common Ground July 2019 - Hambleton District Council 4 Strategic Geography 4.1 The Statement of Common Ground relates to the area covered by the local planning authorities of Hambleton District Council and the adjoining local planning authorities: i. Harrogate Borough Council; ii. Richmondshire District Council; iii. Ryedale District Council; iv. City of York Council; v. North York Moors National Park Authority (The planning authority for the North York Moors National Park covering parts of Hambleton, Redcar and Cleveland, Ryedale and Scarborough); vi. Scarborough Borough Council; vii. Darlington Borough Council; viii. Stockton on Tees Borough Council; and ix. Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council. 4.2 The map below identifies the location and extent of the area covered by the statement. It also shows the extent of North Yorkshire County Council and the extent of the North York Moors National Park and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Statement of Common Ground July 2019 - Hambleton District Council 19 4.3 This area extends over the administrative area of all the plan making authorities that have a common boundary with Hambleton. In doing so it reflects key linkages with the surrounding authority areas as represented by travel to work areas centred on Northallerton, Teesside and York, with strong commuting flows to and from Harrogate, and Housing Market Area relationships with Richmondshire, York and Teesside.
20 Statement of Common Ground July 2019 - Hambleton District Council 5 Strategic Matters 5.1 Joint working to address strategic matters has been ongoing throughout the plan making process and is set out in the Consultation Statement. It is also summarised in Appendix 2: 'Evidence of Joint Working'. This work has identified a number of strategic issues that have the potential to raise cross boundary issues: a. The scale and location of housing development b. The scale and location of employment development c. The scale and location of retail development d. The provision of services and facilities e. Strategic transport infrastructure f. Conservation of the natural environment 5.2 There are no unresolved strategic issues. The position on each of these issues is outlined below.
Housing Development 5.3 Hambleton is considered to form its own housing market area, as set out in the Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment (June 2018) (HEDNA). The HEDNA has identified an annual housing requirement for the district of 315 homes, including a requirement for 55 affordable homes. This translates into a requirement for 6,615 homes in total for the 21 year plan period from 1 April 2014 to 2035. 5.4 Between the base date of the plan and 31 March 2019 the district has had consistently high housing completions, with 2,136 homes being built during this period. 5.5 The supply of sites that have planning permission for residential development and are expected to be delivered during the plan period (making an allowance for the proportion of small sites that are unlikely to be implemented) will provided for 4,013 homes. 5.6 The residual minimum number of homes required from allocations can be calculated by taking the completions to date and the adjusted commitments from the overall need figure. This calculation gives a minimum requirement of 466 homes. 5.7 The total capacity of sites to be allocated for housing development in the local plan is 1,593 homes.
Agreement Local planning authority signatories agree that their respective plans, either adopted or currently being prepared (as set out in Appendix 1: 'Local Authority Plan preparation and housing requirements'), will meet or exceed the objectively assessed level of housing requirement within their respective planning authority areas and that the Hambleton Local Plan is not be required to accommodate any unmet housing requirements.
Statement of Common Ground July 2019 - Hambleton District Council 21 Employment Development 5.8 Hambleton lies within the York, North Yorkshire and East Riding (YNYER) Local Enterprise Partnership. The Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) - ‘Better Jobs, More Homes, New Investment’ for the LEP aims to create 20,000 jobs and deliver £3 billion economic growth. LEP priorities include supporting profitable small businesses and being a global leader in food manufacturing, agritech and bio renewables. The aims and objectives of the SEP and the priorities of the LEP have been incorporated into the The Council’s economic strategy: 'Hambleton A Place to Grow' - Economic Development Strategy 2014-24, which has in turn guided the local plan's outcomes, actions, policies and proposals. 5.9 The Hambleton Employment Land Review (2016) identified the functional economic market areas (FEMA) for Hambleton, concluding that the majority of land and population is within a Northallerton and Thirsk FEMA. However, it was recognised that Hambleton operates in a number of overlapping FEMA including those focused on York and Teesside. 5.10 Employment in Hambleton is concentrated in the health, manufacturing, accommodation and food services, and the public administration and defence sectors. As at 2016 there was about 888,000m2 business floorspace in Hambleton, of which most is industrial and warehousing with just over 10% being office space. 5.11 The Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment (June 2018) (HEDNA) has concluded that the sub region has very low industrial availability that is driving up average rents. As a result more stock is beginning to come forward. 5.12 The HEDNA also concluded that there is an employment land requirement for the plan period of between 64.3ha and 81.4ha, depending on the extent to which provision is made for large scale open storage uses. The total area of sites to be allocated for employment development in the local plan is 77.63ha.
Agreement Local planning authority signatories agree that their respective plans will meet or exceed employment requirements within their respective planning authority areas and that there are no outstanding unresolved strategic issues relating to employment development.
Retail Development 5.13 Hambleton is located close to a range of higher order shopping and leisure locations which offer a more comprehensive range of facilities than is available within the district, notably Darlington, Middlesbrough and Stockton to the north, Harrogate to the southeast and York to the south. Their catchment areas extend into Hambleton and draw trade from the district. Other centres, such as Catterick Garrison, Scotch Corner and Ripon provide further retail and
22 Statement of Common Ground July 2019 - Hambleton District Council leisure choice for Hambleton residents. The retail market has been consolidating into larger units in larger centres and to a more mixed shopping and leisure offer, which could have an impact on the town centres and shopping facilities in Hambleton. 5.14 The Hambleton Retail and Leisure Study (October 2016) and the Hambleton Retail Study Update Note (March 2019) consider the requirements for retail and leisure development in Hambleton for the plan period. They conclude that there is no retail development requirement for either convenience or comparison shopping during the plan period that would require sites to be allocated in the plan.
Agreement Local planning authority signatories agree that there are no outstanding unresolved strategic issues relating to retail development.
Services and Facilities 5.15 Facilities in neighbouring areas have wide catchment areas that cover parts of Hambleton and serve local residents. For example the James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough serves the north of Hambleton. The council will continue to work with service and facilities providers to ensure that issues are addressed and that where opportunities arise for services and facilities to be secured or enhanced through the local plan process these are taken.
Agreement Signatories agree that there are no outstanding unresolved strategic issues relating to the provision of services and facilities.
Strategic Transport Infrastructure 5.16 Transport infrastructure in Hambleton includes strategic road and rail links; the East Coast Main Line and the A1(M) and the A19. Thirsk and Northallerton rail stations provide links to the north and south of the UK. There is a high reliance on the private car, particularly in the more rural parts of the district, where there is a lack of alternative sustainable travel options. 5.17 An increase in traffic volumes as a result of development during the plan period on the strategic road network has been identified. Detailed study work is ongoing to establish whether there will be any need for capacity improvements.
Agreement Highways England and Hambleton District Council agree to continue to work together to resolve any capacity issues on the strategic road network that may occur as a result of development during the plan period. Any identified mitigation requirements to the Strategic Road Network within Hambleton, will be outlined within the Infrastructure Delivery Plan, with appropriate funding mechanism(s) identified for their delivery.
Statement of Common Ground July 2019 - Hambleton District Council 23 Conservation of the Natural Environment 5.18 The North York Moors National Park (NYMNP) lies to the east of the local plan area and partly within the Hambleton District Council area. The statutory purposes of national park designation are ‘to conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the national park’ and ‘to promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the park by the public’. The Hambleton Local Plan seeks to ensure that development within the local plan area does not adversely affect, and where possible supports, the delivery of these statutory purposes. The Forest of Bowland AONB is located in the west of the county, no part of it lies within Hambleton. 5.19 The North Yorkshire and York Local Nature Partnership aims to see the natural environment of North Yorkshire conserved, enhanced and connected for the benefit of wildlife, people and the economy. The North Yorkshire and York Local Nature Partnership Strategy defines a green infrastructure network on a strategic geography that covers Hambleton as well as adjoining local authorities including Harrogate, York, Richmondshire, Ryedale and Scarborough. 5.20 Three areas of outstanding natural beauty (AONBs) have been designated in North Yorkshire. Hambleton includes approximately a quarter of the Howardian Hills AONB in the southeast of the district with the remaining part falling within Ryedale. A small part of the Nidderdale AONB lies within the west of the district, while the majority of the AONB lies within Harrogate. 5.21 The Habitats Directive 1992 and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 require plans such as the local plan to be agreed only after having ascertained that the plan will not adversely affect the integrity of internationally important nature conservation sites, through a process known as Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA). There are a number of sites that requirement assessment that lie within the sphere of influence of the local plan: Heathland/Bog Sites: North Pennine Moors SAC located 3.9km from the district boundary North York Moors SAC located within the district boundary. Strensall Common SAC located 3.1km from the district boundary. Heathland Bird Sites: North Pennine Moors SPA located within 3.9km of the district boundary North York Moors SPA within the district boundary. Mountain Hay Meadow Sites: North Pennine Dales Meadows SAC at its closest located 8.8km from the district boundary (Richmond Meadows SSSI). Riverine Sites: River Derwent SAC located 8.7km from the district boundary Estuarine/ Coastal Sites: Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SPA located 9.6km from the district boundary Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast Ramsar located 9.6km from the district boundary
24 Statement of Common Ground July 2019 - Hambleton District Council 5.22 The HRA process has recommended some amendments to the initial draft local plan, but subject to these being made concludes that the plan will not adversely affect the integrity of the internationally important nature conservation sites.
Agreement Signatories agree that there are no outstanding unresolved strategic issues relating to conservation of the natural environment.
Statement of Common Ground July 2019 - Hambleton District Council 25 6 Upper Tier Authority 6.1 North Yorkshire County Council is the upper tier authority for the Hambleton Local Plan area. This includes its role as the Local Highway Authority, Local Education Authority and Local Planning Authority for Minerals and Waste. 6.2 North Yorkshire County Council and Hambleton District Council are actively and constructively engaging in Duty to Co-operate discussions on the preparation and delivery of the Hambleton Local Plan. There are a range of infrastructure and service issues relevant to the Hambleton Local Plan. The following strategic matters have been identified as the starting point for discussing and agreeing a Statement of Common Ground: Infrastructure Services Environment and Planning
26 Statement of Common Ground July 2019 - Hambleton District Council 7 Governance Arrangements 7.1 The contents of this Statement of Common Ground will be agreed and signed off by all parties prior to the Regulation 19 stage for the Hambleton Local Plan.

The City of York Draft Local Plan Incorporating the Fourth Set of Changes was approved for Development Management purposes in April 2005 (DCLP). Whilst the DCLP does not form part of the statutory development plan, its policies are considered to be capable of being material considerations in the determination of planning applications where policies relevant to the application are consistent with those in the NPPF as revised in February 2019, although the weight that can be afforded to them is very limited. The preparation for a new Local Plan for York started in 2012 and the Publication Draft City of York Local Plan (2018) was submitted for examination on 25 May 2018. 29 30

2 For LDF development plans this is the date of adoption of the Core Strategy. There may be more recently adopted plans. Appendix 2: Evidence of Joint Working 2.1 The council is committed to the duty to co-operate and has sought to meet its obligations by: a. Responding to consultations from adjoining planning authorities and North Yorkshire County Council on the preparation of their policy documentation and evidence base; b. Continuing to work in a collaborative way with other local planning authorities and statutory bodies [any examples?]; c. Engaging with other local planning authorities and statutory bodies through participation of the following strategic planning forums: i. Tees Valley Development Plan Officer’s Forum ii. North Yorkshire and York Spatial Planning and Transport Board iii. The York, North Yorkshire, East Riding and Hull Development Plans Forum (previously known as the North Yorkshire Development Plans Forum) iv. The York, North Yorkshire, East Riding and Hull (YNYERH) Directors of Development Group v. The York, North Yorkshire, East Riding and Hull (YNYERH) Heads of Planning Group vi. York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership 2.2 There has also been ongoing dialogue with duty to cooperate partners through regular contact with partnering organisations. These discussions have informed the preparation of the local plan from commencement of the process. It is possible, however, to identify two particular stages of plan preparation where officer resources have been focused on duty to cooperate meetings: In advance of the Issues and Options consultation (April, September and October 2015); and In advance of the Preferred Options Consultation (April to May 2016). 2.3 Details of these discussions are set out in the Consultation Statement 2019, prepared as a supporting document to the Local Plan. 2.4 In addition duty to cooperate bodies were consulted on a draft version of the local plan prior to the Publication stage in March and April 2019. This was an opportunity for key consultees to comment on what was intended to be a finished draft plan. Feedback from most consultees confirmed that there was considered to be no significant issues. However, the plan was amended to better reflect the requirements of national planning policy with regards to historic environment and heritage assets; to be clearer about requirements for biodiversity net gain and a series of minor amendments for accuracy and to aid clarity. 2.5 Cooperation with partners has also involved meetings of elected members. The council has hosted workshops with members from neighbouring local authorities in North Yorkshire and Tees Valley during the preparation of the new Local Plan. Members from the council have also attended member duty to cooperate meetings that have been hosted by other neighbouring local authorities. Again, details of these discussions are included in the Consultation Statement.
Statement of Common Ground July 2019 - Hambleton District Council 31 York, North Yorkshire, East Riding and Hull Spatial Framework: A Vision for Growth 2.6 The Local Government North Yorkshire and York (LGNYY) Leaders Group, including Hambleton District Council, have agreed to the principle of preparing a long term non-statutory Spatial Framework for the York, North Yorkshire, East Riding and Hull area. The authorities involved are: East Riding of Yorkshire Council; Hambleton District Council; Harrogate Borough Council; Hull City Council; North Yorkshire County Council; North York Moors National Park; Ryedale District Council; Scarborough Borough Council; Selby District Council; City of York Council; and Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority. 2.7 The agreed spatial framework approach details the context of strategic planning covering economic, environmental and social aspects. It also sets out a series of sub areas and identifies specific priorities for them. However, the main part of the spatial framework is the identification of the development corridor approach to future growth. In total six development corridors have been defined, of which the ‘Central’ A168 Corridor covers an area in the centre of Hambleton including Thirsk. Two other corridors, the ‘Harrogate Line’ Corridor and the York Growth Zone fringe into the southern most part of Hambleton and along the boundary with the City of York respectively. 2.8 The spatial framework has broad support from all authorities involved and is currently in a final round of approval. In the short term authorities have agreed to continue working to develop the spatial framework to: a. test the emerging approach/ narrative/ evidence base and develop a better understanding of delivery and infrastructure constraints and opportunities; b. continue to feed into the Spatial Framework development process the preferred strategies for growth arising from emerging local plans and plan reviews; c. locally assess and further develop the Strategic Development Zones as part of the partnership based approach; and d. keep a watching brief on the assessment of housing needs, particularly with regards to the national standard methodology.
