The report was written by Roger Tym & Partners with specialist transport input from Peter Brett Associates. 1.2 The Consultants’ brief was to prepare an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which will ensure that the delivery of any development required is not compromised by unrealistic expectations about the availability of infrastructure. The study will directly inform the Council and other service providers to identify and prioritise infrastructure provision as part of an integrated approach to planning and infrastructure development. 1.3 Essentially, the study will underpin the spatial development strategy of the Core Strategy in the face of testing. It seeks to show that the chosen development strategy is robust and ‘sound’ in planning terms. 1.4 Part One seeks to understand, in terms of infrastructure requirements, which of the possible development options that are being considered through the emerging Core Strategy have the greatest chance of being delivered. This considers existing infrastructure surpluses or deficits and the potential to secure mainstream public funding for particular types of development. This is coupled with an assessment of the issues affecting potential developer contribution funding for infrastructure. 1.5 The study brief requires only the following infrastructure items to be considered: . Education – pre-school, primary and secondary . Further Education . Health . Transport . Emergency Services – police, fire, ambulance . Utilities – electricity, gas, telecommunications . Water – potable water and wastewater . Cemeteries 1.6 A list of the consultees in the Part One study is given in Appendix 1. 1.7 Part Two of the study will consider in more depth the infrastructure needs of the Core Strategy Preferred Option. Roger Tym & Partners with Peter Brett Associates September 2009 1 Tendring Infrastructure Study – Part One Final Report 2 POLICY CONTEXT The evidence base that LDF Core Strategies need on infrastructure 2.1 There has been a growing recognition of the link between spatial plans and infrastructure provision in achieving timely and sustainable delivery of spatial growth. This has taken on a greater importance in recent years through planning documents. Local government is required to play an infrastructure co-ordinating role 2.2 The Local Government White Paper on Strong and Prosperous Communities published in October 2006 referred to local authorities playing a positive co-ordinating role in the delivery of infrastructure to ensure that the right infrastructure is provided at the right time. An increased emphasis on ‘place shaping’ was also made. The Planning White Paper, CSR 07 and PPS12 emphasise the need for an infrastructure planning evidence base 2.3 The Planning White Paper 2007 states that ‘local authorities should demonstrate how and when infrastructure that is required to facilitate development will be delivered’. This has also been a major theme in the H M Treasury’s CSR07 Policy Review on Supporting Housing Growth. 2.4 Planning Policy Statement 12 (PPS12) highlights the importance of ensuring that the core strategy of Local Development Frameworks is supported by a robust evidence base on infrastructure planning.1 PPS 12 states that: “The core strategy should be supported by evidence of what physical and social infrastructure is needed to enable the amount of development proposed for the area, taking account of its type and distribution. This evidence should cover who will provide the infrastructure and when it will be provided. The core strategy should draw on and in parallel influence any strategies and investment plans of the local authority and other organisations.” 2.5 The document also notes that: 'Good infrastructure planning considers the infrastructure required to support development, costs, sources of funding, timescales for delivery and gaps in funding. This allows for the identified infrastructure to be prioritised in discussions with key local partners.' 2.6 It states what should be considered as part of the infrastructure evidence base and emphasises the need for the alignment of investment plans of a range of key infrastructure providers. In particularly, PPS12 states that the planning process infrastructure evidence base should take account of: . The scale, type and distribution of development proposed for the area; 1 PPS12 June 2008, paragraphs 4.8 to 4.12 Roger Tym & Partners with Peter Brett Associates September 2009 3 Tendring Infrastructure Study – Part One Final Report . The physical, social and green infrastructure needed to enable the development proposed; . The phasing of development; . The cost, sources of funding and gaps in funding (recognising that the budgeting processes of different agencies could

  • Tendring District Council Local Development Framework
    TENDRING DISTRICT COUNCIL LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK Planning Services Core Strategy Discussion Document Issues and Possible Options Regulation 25 Consultation Report July 2010 IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING SECTION B OF THIS REPORT On 27 May 2010, the Right Honourable Eric Pickles MP – Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government wrote to all chief planning officers in the country regarding the new Coalition Government’s position on the abolition of regional strategies. The letter reads as follows: “I am writing to you today to highlight our commitment in the coalition agreements where we very clearly set out our intention to rapidly abolish Regional Strategies and return decision making powers on housing and planning to local councils. Consequently, decisions on housing supply (including the provision of traveller sites) will rest with Local Planning Authorities without the framework of regional numbers and plans. I will make a formal announcement on this matter soon. However, I expect Local Planning Authorities and the Planning Inspectorate to have regard to this letter as a material planning consideration in any decisions they are currently taking.” This letter has had implications for the content of the Council’s Core Strategy and Development Policies Document particularly sections that relate to policies and targets set out in the East of England Plan (May 2008) and the Single Issue Review on Gypsies and Travellers (July 2009). Furthermore, on 9th June 2010, the Decentralisation Minister Greg Clarke announced the new Coalition Government’s commitment to decentralise the planning system by giving Local Authorities the freedom to prevent overdevelopment of neighbourhoods and 'garden grabbing'.

  • Item 7 Report Plus Appendix 1 to Report: Strategic
    THE EXECUTIVE – 24 June 2009 Item 7 REPORT TO THE MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE 24 JUNE 2009 PORTFOLIO: OVERALL STRATEGY AND POLICY DIRECTION REPORT FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE SUBJECT: STRATEGIC COUNTYWIDE ECONOMIC AND HOUSING ISSUES 1 DECISION BEING RECOMMENDED 1.1 To endorse the report prepared by the Essex Chief Executives’ Association on behalf of the Essex Districts and Boroughs, with involvement from the two Unitaries, as a means of engaging with Essex County Council, the sub regional and regional bodies that exist, and Government, to ensure that a consistent, collective message is given in terms of issues and priorities facing Essex. 2 REASON/S FOR RECOMMENDATION 2.1 It is important that the Essex local authorities, who have a statutory responsibility for housing and economic development in the County, are able to deliver a consistent and collective message in terms of the issues faced, the resources required and the priorities for the County, particularly at a time when the national and regional landscape might change and the level of available public expenditure is predicted to decline over a period. 2.2 Without such an approach, it is likely that Essex will not be seen as “punching its weight” and many of the key issues highlighted for resolution will not be addressed. 3 ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED 3.1 Not endorsing the report would mean that the opportunity is likely to be lost around building a platform of consensus between the Authorities on what are the key issues and priorities facing Essex. 4 OTHER SALIENT INFORMATION 4.1 A copy of the Strategic Countywide Economic and Housing Issues Paper is attached as Appendix 1.

For a laugh I usually write ‘he he magazine. This time the updates seem to he’, for a chuckle I just use the word but for have messed around with the advertisements. You don’t need to check, the others? I loathe the face symbols (can't - remember what the terminology for them is) advertisers, they are all there or they that the younger generation - and some of should be! The ‘updating’ process has the not so young! - use but I do see that caused some adverts to be invisible . What they convey what is being thought. I just has happened? I spent about two whole don't like them and in any event it takes me days trying everything I could think of to find ages to scroll through them to find the one I them then decided to print them out to work want and I can't be bothered half the time to out which ones were missing and lo, behold do that.

  • POSSIBLE HOUSING SITES Suggestions from Third Party Landowners and Developers for Possible Housing and Mixed-Use Development Sites
    Planning and Regeneration Services POSSIBLE HOUSING SITES Suggestions from third party landowners and developers for possible housing and mixed-use development sites. October 2011 2 CONTENTS Introduction 5 Using this Document 6 Alresford 9 Ardleigh 13 Beaumont 23 Bradfield 25 Brightlingsea 31 Clacton 35 Elmstead 55 Frating 63 Frinton & Walton 67 Great Bentley 85 Great Bromley 91 Great Oakley 97 Harwich 101 Lawford 111 Little Bentley 115 Little Bromley 117 Little Clacton 119 Little Oakley 133 Manningtree 139 Mistley 141 Ramsey & Parkeston 151 St. Osyth 155 Tendring 163 Thorpe-le-Soken 169 Thorrington 179 Weeley 189 Wix 207 Wrabness 211 Please note: this document has been formatted for double-sided printing. 3 4 Introduction As part of the preparation of a new district plan for the Tendring area which, amongst other things, will need to identify sites for housing development to meet the needs of a growing population, the Council invited landowners, developers and the general public to put forward their ideas and suggestions for which sites could be earmarked for housing or mixed-use development. This document includes the suggestions that were put forward, of which there are 167 in total (so far). It is very important to point out that, at this stage, the Council has not approved any of these proposals for inclusion in the new district plan, but it is highly likely that some (but certainly not all) of these sites will be needed to deliver the number of new homes needed over the next 15-20 years. The Council will be undertaking two detailed assessments of each of these proposals: The Sustainability Appraisal (SA) – which will assess each site for the likely social, economic and environmental impact if it were to be developed; and The Strategic Housing Land Availability (SHLAA) – which will assess each site to see if it would be suitable for housing development, available for development if we need it and achievable in reality, taking into account the economy, the housing market and the costs involved in making development viable.
