The Plan sets out a broad development strategy for the region for the period up to 2021. It covers Northumberland, County Durham, Tyne and Wear and the Tees Valley and addresses matters such as the scale and distribution of provision for new housing, priorities for the environment such as countryside and biodiversity protection, transport, infrastructure, economic development, agriculture, mineral extraction and waste treatment and disposal. The Plan incorporates the Regional Transport Strategy (RTS) to ensure the integration of land use and transport planning. The Plan is part of the statutory Development Plan, as described in the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. Local planning authorities prepare the other components of the Development Plan, Local Development Frameworks (LDFs), which should be in general conformity with the RSS. Local Transport Plans (LTPs) should also reflect the Regional Transport Strategy. The North East of England Plan and accompanying documents are available for public inspection at local planning authority offices across the region, and in local branch libraries, during normal opening hours. They can also be viewed and downloaded on the Government Office web-site at www.go-ne.gov.uk and on the North East Assembly website at www.northeastassembly.gov.uk National planning policy and procedure for regional planning is set out in a national Planning Policy Statement (PPS11). This, and the Planning Policy Statements on other subjects, can be viewed on the Communities and Local Government website at www.communities.gov.uk How the Plan was developed Existing Regional Planning Guidance for the North East (RPG1) became the statutory RSS in September 2004 when the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act came into force. The Plan replaces RPG1. In line with its statutory responsibilities, the North East Assembly (NEA) prepared a draft revision to the initial RSS called VIEW: Shaping the North East, which was issued for consultation in December 2004. The Draft Revision was submitted to Government by the North East Assembly in June 2005 and, following public consultation, an Examination in Public was held before an independent panel in 2006 to test the soundness of the draft RSS. The report of the Panel was published in August 2006. This report recommended a number of changes to the submission draft. Two rounds of consultation then followed in 2007 and 2008 and the Plan has been finalised after careful consideration of responses to those consultation exercises. ii The North East of England Plan Regional Spatial Strategy to 2021 Introduction and Consultation Arrangements Sustainability Appraisal and Environmental Assessment The region has over 30 nature conversation sites of European importance. In order to assess the potential impact of development proposals on these sites preparation of the Plan has been informed by Sustainability Appraisals and Habitat Regulations Assessments and by a Strategic Environmental Assessment. These reports are available on the CD-Rom accompanying this document and on the Government Office web-site at www.go-ne.gov.uk Further Information For further information about the North East of England Plan please contact the Government Office Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) team on 0191 2023528 or e-mail [email protected] The North East of England Plan Regional Spatial Strategy to 2021 Contents Contents 1 Shaping the Region 1 Role of RSS 1 RSS Structure 1 Vision 3 Achieving the Vision 4 Sustainability Appraisal, Strategic Environmental Assessment and Appropriate Assessment 5 Regional Characteristics 6 Key Challenges 8 International Planning Context 10 National Planning Context 10 Regional Planning Context 13 Neighbouring Strategies 14 RSS Growth Assumptions 15 2 Development Principles and Locational Strategy 17 Planning Principles 17 Renaissance in the North East 17 Sustainable Development 18 Climate Change 20 The Sequential Approach to Development 23 Phasing and Plan, Monitor and Manage 24 Locational Strategy 27 Connectivity and Accessibility 32 Protecting and Enhancing the Environment 35 City-Regions and Rural Areas 39 The North East of England Plan Regional Spatial Strategy to 2021 Contents Tyne and Wear City-Region 39 Tees Valley City-Region 54 Rural Areas 67 3 Delivering an Urban and Rural Renaissance 74 Theme 3A: Delivering Economic Prosperity and Growth 74 Introduction 74 Key Objectives 75 Sustainable Economic Development 75 Brownfield Mixed Use Locations 77 Supporting Further and Higher Education 79 Information and Communications Technology Networks 80 Culture and Tourism 81 Casino Development 83 Employment Land Portfolio 84 Office Development Outside of City and Town Centres 89 Key Employment Locations 90 Airports 92 Ports 95 Chemical and Steel Industries 97 Theme 3B: Delivering Sustainable Communities 98 Introduction 98 Key Objectives 98 Delivering Sustainable Communities 99 Urban and Rural Centres 100 Metrocentre 101 Out-Of-Centre Retail and Leisure Developments 102 The North East of England Plan Regional Spatial Strategy to 2021 Contents Improving and Increasing the Housing Stock 102 Delivering and Managing Housing Supply 110 Improving Inclusivity and Affordability 113 Theme 3C: Conserving, Enhancing and Capitalising Upon the Regions Diverse Natural and Built Environment, Heritage and Culture 117 Introduction 117 Landscape Character 119 Historic Environment 121 Biodiversity and Geodiversity 123 The Aquatic and Marine Environment 126 Flood Risk 129 Trees, Woodlands and Forests 131 Air Quality 132 Sustainable Energy Use 134 Renewable Energy Generation 136 Planning for Renewables 138 Onshore Wind Energy Development 140 Overall Minerals Strategy 142 Aggregate Minerals Provision 143 Other Minerals 145 Sustainable Waste Management 146 Waste Management Provision 147 Special and Hazardous Waste 154 Theme 3D: Improving Connectivity and Accessibility within and beyond the region 156 Introduction 156 Key Objectives 158 International Gateways 159 The North East of England Plan Regional Spatial Strategy to 2021 Contents Regional Transport Corridors 161 Regional Public Transport Provision 164 Strategic Public Transport Hubs 166 Demand Management Measures 168 Parking and Travel Plans 170 Accessibility Within and Between the City Regions 172 Accessibility in Rural Areas 174 Sustainable Freight Distribution 176 Major Regional Transport Priorities 178 4 Implementation, Monitoring and Review 188 Introduction 188 Strategy Assumptions 188 RSS Scope 188 RSS Implementation Plan 188 Targets and Indicators 189 Arrangements for Monitoring 190 Review 190 Community Participation 191 5 Maps 192 Key to Major Transport Scheme Proposals 193 Key Diagram 194 Inset (N) 195 Inset (S) 196 Information Map - Environment 197 6 Abbreviations 199 7 Glossary of Terms 203 The North East of England Plan Regional Spatial Strategy to 2021 Contents Table of Policies Policy 1 - NORTH EAST RENAISSANCE 17 Policy 2 - SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 18 Policy 3 - CLIMATE CHANGE 22 Policy 4 - THE SEQUENTIAL APPROACH TO DEVELOPMENT 23 Policy 5 - PHASING & PLAN, MONITOR AND MANAGE 26 Policy 6 - LOCATIONAL STRATEGY 31 Policy 7 - CONNECTIVITY AND ACCESSIBILITY 35 Policy 8 - PROTECTING AND ENHANCING

  • Slave Trade and Slavery
    Remembering Slavery Slave trade, slavery and abolition: the north east of England connections By John Charlton 2. Introduction It is two hundred years since Parliament ended British involvement in the slave trade. As part of the national commemoration of this important moment in history, a group of local archives and libraries in the north east established a project to search their collections for material connected to the slave trade, slavery and the movements for abolition. The Remembering Slavery 2007 Archive Mapping and Research Project led by the Literary & Philosophical Society (Lit & Phil) appointed Sean Creighton as Project Officer. Sean assembled a group of volunteers to search the collections. This brief guide indicates the areas covered and summarises the fully referenced guide or resource pack which will be lodged at the four participating institutions. In addition to this, Hidden Chains: the Slavery Business and North East England by John Charlton will be published by Tyne Bridge Publishing in Autumn 2008 ISBN 9781857951233; for further details, see www.tynebridgepublishing.co.uk.

  • Foster History
    Foster History A compilation of information extracted from published research about Foster ancestors. Various researchers published works on Foster ancestors, some credible some not. This paper endeavors to iterate the significant, along with some interesting portions from a number of those works in a more condensed version for those not inclined to study this subject in depth. My objective is to impart knowledge about people who lived in the past named Foster, and may be ancestors, for entertainment or as a primer to subsequent generations if they endeavor to take up the quest. Foster families unlikely to be connected to the Irving family are mentioned only in passing or omitted. I include some material to explain terms and historical facts for context that other authors assumed the reader had prior knowledge. Some researchers make assumptions they shouldn't; my approach is to point out possible disconnects or questionable assumptions as indicators to where additional research is necessary. To help the flow of the story some material is set aside into Appendices. Numerous hyper-links to source information found on the Internet are included. The links were valid when this report was authored, but websites, addresses and pages change, so some links my no longer be valid. I refer the reader to the original texts authored by professional historians and researchers for information in their own words (see bibliography). I recommend you read this paper on a computer connected to the Internet to avail use of embedded links to referenced material. It might also help if you have a map of England and Scotland available if you are not familiar with the geography of the United Kingdom.
