Introduction

1.1 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 makes it a requirement for local planning authorities in Wales to prepare a Local Development Plan (LDP) for their areas. The Isle of Anglesey County Council and Gwynedd Council have decided to prepare a single Plan (the Plan) for Anglesey and Gwynedd Planning Authority areas.

1.2 The Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development was formally adopted on 31 July 2017 and the majority of decisions on planning applications in the two Planning Authority areas will be based on the contents of the Plan.

The benefit of joint working

1.3 The Plan deals with Anglesey and Gwynedd, but parts of Gwynedd within the Snowdonia National Park are not included. Map 1 shows the Plan area. It is neither a sub-regional nor a formal administrative area but whilst every area has its own special character, both Councils believe that there is a strong cross-boundary relationship between them in terms of function, economy, infrastructure and policy. This means that collaboration on a development plan made planning and economic sense.

1.4 Working together will enable both Councils to tackle complex issues together and it may provide a stronger voice for them when discussing issues with their partners. A review of information available has shown important cross-boundary issues which provide a robust base for preparing a Plan for the area in question. These are:

 Jobs - The demand for and supply of jobs create strong travelling patterns between Anglesey and north Gwynedd.  Jobs – decommissioning work at Trawsfynydd (over 650 workers) and the electricity generation and decommissioning work at Wylfa (over 600 workers) completed during the Plan period – projects that employ workers from across the Plan area.  Wales Spatial Plan (2008) – identifies 6 Zones, which were developed by the Area Groups following extensive collaboration and research. Each Zone approached the issue in different ways, which reflects their agreed regional priorities. The Plan area lies within 2 of the 6 Zones and further information can be seen in Chapter 2 of the Plan.  Anglesey Energy Island Programme - a collaborative approach between a number of stakeholders in the public and private sectors (including the UK Government and the Welsh Government) to place Anglesey at the forefront in terms of energy research and development, generating and servicing, which will be a means of influencing major infrastructure projects bringing economic and social benefits to the Island and north west Wales.  Road and Railway networks - Important elements of the road and railway networks cross the administrative boundaries of both areas.  Cross- boundary Housing Market Areas which have common influences.  Shopping – Bangor’s influence as a sub-regional shopping centre.  Infrastructure – the capacity of the road network, energy transmission network, the sewerage treatment network and works and water supply.  Landscape – the relationship across the Menai Strait.

The policy context (national and local)

2.1 There are several plans, strategies and national, sub-regional and local policy statements which provide a framework for development in the Plan area. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act makes it a requirement for local development plans to be prepared and that they address these documents. This part of the Plan summarises legislation and national planning policy that are relevant to the Plan area.

National

Planning Policy Wales (Edition 9, November 2016)

2.2 Planning Policy Wales is the Welsh Government’s policy document and it describes the land use context for using land sustainably. The document supports every strategy published by the Welsh Government and it is supported by a variety of Technical Advice Notes. It recognises that planning and the way land is used contributes to economic development, to maintaining Wales’ natural assets and to health, well-being and the quality of life of individuals and communities. In essence it describes how the land use planning system fulfils the Welsh Government’s objectives.

2.3 If national policy is sufficient, no local policies are included. If national guidance requires local interpretation, this is provided in the Plan.

Wales Spatial Plan: People, Places, Futures: 2008 Update

2.4 The Wales Spatial Plan introduced a strategic framework for directing development and policy interventions in Wales in the future. Anglesey and North Gwynedd is part of the North-West Wales Area: Eryri a Môn. Its vision for this zone is:

“A high-quality natural and physical environment supporting a cultural and knowledge-based economy that will help the area to maintain and enhance its distinctive character, retain and attract back young people and sustain the Welsh language.

A spatial profile

3.1 The Plan area includes the Unitary Authority of Anglesey and the Gwynedd Local Planning Authority. It shares its boundary with the Snowdonia National Park (but this Plan does not cover the Snowdonia National Park Authority area), Conwy County Borough Council and the Councils of Denbighshire, Powys and Ceredigion – see Map 4: spatial context. It is an area of approximately 3,260km2 in size. According to the 2011 Census, which is the most recent source of information about population and household totals for different Councils, Anglesey had a population of 69,700 and there were 121,900 across the whole of Gwynedd. It was recorded that there were 30,600 households in Anglesey and 52,450 households in Gwynedd. A statistical profile of the Plan area is included in Appendix 3: Statistical Profile.

Map 4: Spatial context

3.2 The A55, which is part of the Trans European Road Network (TERN), and the North Wales coastal railway line connects parts of the area with the remainder of North Wales and beyond, which means that goods and people can move quickly in and out of the area. The port of Holyhead provides a ferry service with Ireland and is the main road and rail link between Ireland and North Wales, the midlands and the North of England for the transfer of people and cargo. Although improvements have been made to parts of the road network to South Wales, the journey is not so easy. There are plans to improve additional sections across Gwynedd, e.g. the A487, which will improve links with the A55 as well as routes down to mid Wales – see Map 5: the main transport routes.

Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan (31 July, 2017) 31 5.0 The Strategy

5.0 The Strategy

Overview

5.1 This chapter sets out the overall Strategy to deliver the Plan’s vision and objectives. Figure 3 describes the main element of the Vision and what must occur (the themes and the objectives) to bring about this change.

5.2 The vision, themes and objectives have been developed into a land use planning strategy to guide the future development of the Plan area up to 2026. It sets out the broad intention for managing change, provides a framework for more strategic and detailed policies and indicates the level of provision to be made for housing, employment and other major land uses, the broad locations that such development will be directed to and the areas subject to general protection from development.

5.3 Overall the Strategy responds to the clear evidenced need to make provision for new homes and jobs as well as the protection of the area’s unique social, cultural and environmental character. It accommodates land uses that are required for a time-limited period, facilitating alternative policy compliant legacy uses in the long term. It sets a level of growth considered to represent the most robust, balanced and appropriate approach, taking into account all relevant factors, including work undertaken by independent housing and economic forecasts.

The Spatial Strategy

5.4 The spatial element of the Vision broadly describes how the Plan area will look by 2026. It sets out what the Vision means on the ground. The Spatial Strategy says where development should or should not go. The aim is to get the right type of development in the right place which meets the requirements of the communities.

5.5 Previous chapters in the Plan have described the rurality of the Plan area. It has a dispersed settlement pattern of towns, villages and other groups of buildings and high levels of private car usage, therefore the need to reduce carbon and greenhouse gas emissions is challenging. Evidence points to five broad categories of settlements within the Plan area as reflected in the spatial element of the Plan’s Vision. These are:

i. Sub regional Centre ii. Urban Service Centres iii. Local Service Centres iv. Villages v. Clusters

5.6 The Strategy defines what role the Sub regional Centre, Urban Service Centres, Local Service Centres, Villages, Clusters and countryside will play in achieving the Plan’s Vision. The amount, type (particularly in housing terms) and distribution of new development will be determined largely by the roles set out in this Strategy. The strengthening of existing roles and evolution of new ones will take time and will be cemented through the strategies of the Councils and other partners and particularly through market forces.

5.0 The Strategy

. In order to respond to the area’s opportunities and challenges and to achieve the Plan’s overall Vision and bjectives the following spatial strategy has been adopted for distributing development across the Plan area. It ensures that development is directed to locations that are sustainable in terms of their sie, function, character, facilities, transport linages, social and environmental capacity. It supports the use of policies that encourage the level of development most appropriate to each settlement.

The Strategy will aim to disperse development proportionately around the Plan area whilst focusing on those locations that provide the best opportunities for achieving sustainable development.

The Strategy proposes:

 an emphasis on developing the Sub Regional Centre and the Urban and Local Service Centres shown on Diagrammatic Map 8 and 9, where environmental, social and infrastructure constraints allow;  an appropriate amount of development in Villages, with a focus on Service Villages shown on Diagrammatic Map 8 and 9, which have a better access to services and public transport;  some development in Clusters, identified because of their functional links with Villages or Centres, and in the countryside

. It sees to establish a strong networ of settlements that mae the Plan area more selfsufficient in terms of access to jobs, affordable homes, and services such as education and training, shops, and leisure. The priority will be to meet needs as locally as possible and to retain as much benefits as possible from investment locally, recognising that the magnitude of investment in ylfa ewydd has the potential to benefit areas beyond the Plan area. The Plan balances the importance of sustaining rural economies with the need to protect the countryside, including the natural environment. full list of settlements, where they sit in the settlement hierarchy and the implications is included in ppendi .

6.1 SAFE, HEALTHY, DISTINCTIVE AND VIBRANT COMMUNITIES

WELSH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE

6.1.1 Context

• National planning policy advises that local planning authorities should consider whether they have communities where the use of the Welsh language is part of the social fabric, and where this is so, it is considered appropriate that this be taken into account in the formulation of land use policies. • Promoting the Welsh language and culture is one of the principles that is central to the Single Integrated Plan.

Introduction 6.1.2. The Welsh language plays an important role in the social, cultural and economic life of the Plan area’s residents and visitors. In 2001, 60% and 69% of Anglesey and Gwynedd’s (County) population, respectively, were Welsh speakers. The use of the language varies in communities. The first tranche of information released from the 2011 Census about the Welsh language reveals lower levels of Welsh speakers in both Counties: 57% and 65% in Anglesey and Gwynedd, respectively. 6.1.3. Where development is proposed, consideration must be given to the enhancement and protection of the language and culture. Key to this is sustaining existing communities. The Plan, along with national planning policy and guidance, offers a number of policy approaches that although not directly referring to the Welsh language, along with other partner initiatives, will have a positive impact. The strategy recognises that a large proportion of the existing population live in rural settlements and therefore supports rural as well as urban communities. 6.1.4 Probably of most importance to sustaining local communities and strengthening the language is the need to promote healthy local economies. This approach provides opportunities for people to remain within the Plan area rather than seeking jobs elsewhere. The Plan includes a series of Policies that will facilitate this objective, encouraging economic opportunities close to where people live which will have a positive effect on the vibrancy of the community and the Welsh language. Additionally, it is expected that any retail, industrial or commercial development demonstrates an understanding of the linguistic composition of the area where the planning application relates and recognition of the status of Welsh as an official language in Wales. There should be a commitment to treat Welsh and English on an equal basis. Policies will help ensure that the right level and type of need is met and that the rate at which the development comes forward allows the development to be absorbed without damaging the character of the community. Additionally policies will aim to retain existing community facilities and facilitate replacement facilities or new facilities, as appropriate. Supplementary Planning Guidance will reinforce policies by providing guidance on the type of information or assessment that will be required at planning application stage to inform an assessment of the impact, any potential damage, and the potential need for mitigation and/or measures to promote positive effects. 6.1.5 Strategic Policy PS 1 sets the context for the assessment of the potential impact of proposals upon the language and culture and will also inform the scale and location of new development as proposed within the settlement strategy.

STRATEGIC POLICY PS 1: WELSH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE The Councils will promote and support the use of the Welsh language in the Plan area. This will be achieved by:

1. Requiring a Welsh Language Statement, which will protect, promote and enhance the Welsh language, where the proposed development falls within one of the following categories: a. Retail, industrial or commercial development employing more than 50 employees and/or with an area of 1,000 sq. m. or more; or b. Residential development which will individually or cumulatively provide more than the indicative housing provision set out for the settlement in Policies TAI 1 – TAI 6; or c. Residential development of 5 or more housing units on allocated or windfall sites within development boundaries that doesn’t address evidence of need and demand for housing recorded in a Housing Market Assessments and other relevant local sources of evidence. 2. Requiring a Welsh Language Impact Assessment, which will set out how the proposed development will protect, promote and enhance the Welsh Language, where the proposed development is on an unexpected windfall site for a large scale housing development or large scale employment development that would lead to a significant workforce flow; 3. Refusing proposals which would cause significant harm to the character and language balance of a community that cannot be avoided or suitably mitigated by appropriate planning mechanisms; 4. Requiring a bilingual Signage Scheme to deal with all operational signage in the public domain that are proposed in a planning application by public bodies and by commercial and business companies; 5. Expect that Welsh names are used for new developments, house and street names.

POLICY PCYFF 1: DEVELOPMENT BOUNDARIES

The Plan identifies Development Boundaries for the Sub-regional Centre, Urban Service Centres, Local Service Centres, Service Villages and Local / Rural / Coastal Villages. Proposals within Development Boundaries will be approved in accordance with the other polices and proposals of this Plan, national planning policies and other material planning considerations.

Outside the development boundaries development will be resisted unless it is in accordance with specific policies in this Plan or national planning policies or that the proposal demonstrates that its location in the countryside is essential.

.2.21 The above tables contain both demand and opportunity figures for the whole of the ounty of Gwynedd. To provide a Plan area figure the type and location of the Technologies have been considered. The figures in the tables have been adusted to reflect the fact that a large biomass scheme (i.e. the rthios scheme) is located in olyhead Anglesey and there are limited Tidal opportunities along the coastline of the Snowdonia ational Par. n this basis the identified level of opportunities from these technologies is recorded for the Plan area. n relation to the other technologies it is considered reasonable to tae account of the fact that a proportion of the Plan area’s population (10.4%) reside within the National Park. This level of reduction is also applied to the proected demand figures. n this basis the Plan therefore aims to facilitate renewable energy development to address 222.(GWh) of electricity potential being 21% of the electricity needs and .(GWh) of heat potential being .1% of the heating needs of the Plan area by 202.

.2.22 All the resources and opportunities were considered together in order to gain an understanding of the renewable energy potential in the two counties. All in all Policy PS Policy A 1 Policy A 2 Policy A as well Policy P 5 provide a framewor to promote the use of renewable energy or low carbon technology as part of individual developments or through provision of standalone euipment. onitoring these policies will show how the Plan will contribute to meet national reuirements. t will be necessary to eep in mind that how much can be achieved ultimately depends on eternal factors e.g. national policy household behaviour change.

NATIONAL SIGNIFICANT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS AND RELATED DEVELOPMENTS

6.3.1 Context

 The UK has a legally binding target to cut emissions by 80% by 2050, with an interim target of at least 34% below base year levels by 2020 (Climate Change Act 2008).  A key aim of national policy is to improve the country’s energy security.  National Policy Statements establish the need for particular Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs – as defined by the Planning Act 2008), including specifically for power generation.  A site adjacent to Wylfa has been selected by the UK Government as a potentially suitable site for construction of a new nuclear power station. Such a project would be an NSIP, as would be the separate National Grid proposal to provide transmission lines from the new nuclear station.  These NSIPs could have major infrastructure implications for the Plan area in the form of new electricity transmission lines and associated development

Introduction 6.3.2 NSIPs are large-scale projects of national importance such as new trunk roads, airports, ports, power stations (including nuclear), electricity transmission lines, waste water treatment works and chemical works.

6.3.3 Local authorities or other statutory bodies are the decision maker for associated or related development not included within the main Development Consent Orders application, and national policy will be a material consideration as appropriate. Where associated or ancillary development is related to the construction or operation of a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project, these proposals will be considered under the relevant policies in the Plan as well as Strategic Policies PS 8 – PS 12 where applicable.

6.3.4 The applications for new Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects development will be examined using the criteria on national need, benefits and impacts as set out in relevant Policy. For energy infrastructure this will include the relevant National Policy Statements (NPS) for Energy Infrastructure (EN-1-6). The energy NPSs set out national policy against which proposals for major energy projects will be assessed and examined. In accordance with the National Policy Statements, other matters that are important and relevant to its decisions may also be considered, including the existing land use development plan, the Anglesey Energy Island Programme, Destination Management Plans, Single Integrated Plan, New Nuclear Build Supplementary Planning Guidance and other relevant documents. In terms of a Development Consent Order application, a local authority’s role is set out in the Planning Act 2008 (as amended by the Wales Act 2017); they will be invited to assess the adequacy of consultation and local impacts and report on these in a Local Impact Report. Similarly, applications may be made to other statutory bodies. The local planning authorities are the determining authorities for some development related to the Wylfa Newydd Project.

6.3.5 The scale and impact of NSIPs and related development will be mitigated through an appropriate package of planning permission conditions, planning or highway agreements, DCO requirements, and CIL receipts (if a CIL charging schedule is implemented).

6.4 SUPPLY AND QUALITY OF HOUSING

SCALE OF HOUSING

6.4.1 Context

 A key aim of national planning policy is to create sustainable mixed communities for current and future residents.  Local planning authorities must ensure that sufficient land is genuinely available or will become available to provide a 5-year supply of land for housing.  Local planning authorities, in partnership with the community, including the private sector, must develop policies to meet the challenges and particular circumstances evident within specific locations in their areas.  The purpose of the Single Integrated Plan and each Council’s Strategic/ Corporate Plan is to promote economic, social and environmental wellbeing in Anglesey and Gwynedd.  Through their Strategic/ Corporate Plans and their Housing Strategies, each Council seeks to facilitate the provision of an adequate amount of housing to satisfy the needs of local communities in terms of type and affordability.

Introduction

6.4.2 The Plan is expected to deliver one of the Government’s key housing goals that aims to ensure that more housing of the right type be provided and that more choice should be provided. The creation of a healthy and balanced housing market is also a key objective of both Councils, and together with other strategies and programmes being undertaken by the Councils and other organisations, the Plan should ensure the use of land supports the delivery of sustainable communities which in turn helps to sustain or strengthen the well-being of the Welsh language. Failing to do this will undermine the Councils’ economic strategies and restrict our ability through the planning system to secure affordable housing to meet the very acute needs of many communities.

6.4.3 Local authorities can identify the number of homes needed, but the number actually built each year will be heavily influenced by factors outside their control. The Plan period (2011 – 2026) includes a time of continued economic and financial uncertainty. Market conditions continue to be weak and this is likely to mean that house building in the short term will remain subdued. To help progress housing delivery in the short term each Council and their partners are exploring and/ or implementing local initiatives.

6.4.4 Nonetheless, parts of the Plan area are anticipated to experience significant employment opportunities during the latter part of the Plan period (post 2018) as a result of the proposed investment in Wylfa Newydd, decommissioning of Wylfa A and other major infrastructure projects. Wylfa Newydd can be expected to provide employment opportunities for existing residents in the Plan area, adjacent communities and beyond. The Plan gives consideration to the linkages between economic and residential development. Our target, which is 7,184 new homes during the Plan period, is based on an analysis of the best available demographic projections and factors that impact on the local housing markets. It is accepted that this is an issue that needs close monitoring and will be reviewed as necessary under the Local Development Plan (Wales) Regulations.

STRATEGIC POLICY PS 16: HOUSING PROVISION

Based on the level of anticipated housing need, balanced against deliverability, environmental and landscape constraints, economic and demographic prospects, and potential demographic profile, the Councils will make provision for a requirement for 7,184 housing units between 2011 and 2026. This requirement will be met by identifying opportunities for around 7,902 housing units to enable a 10% slippage allowance.

A constant minimum 5 year supply of housing land will be maintained by allocating land and facilitating development on windfall sites and by using existing buildings.

This level of growth is distributed in accordance with Strategic Policy PS 17 and Policies TAI 1 to TAI 6 and will be monitored on an annual basis via the Joint Housing Land Availability Studies and the Annual Monitoring Reports.

aravans and other forms of nonpermanent accommodation are generally considered to be unacceptable as permanent homes within the lan area owever they may have a part to play in providing short term low cost accommodation for specific households provided that there is an

essential need and the high uality of the environment of the lan area is safeguarded and there are no overriding safety obections

CONSERVING AND ENHANCING THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

6.5.1 Context

 A key role of the planning system is to ensure the natural environment is protected effectively by managing the type, design and location of development.  The planning system has an important part to play in meeting biodiversity objectives by promoting approaches to development, which create new opportunities to enhance biodiversity, prevent biodiversity losses, or compensate for losses where damage is unavoidable.  It is important that biodiversity and landscape considerations are taken into account at an early stage in the development plan preparation and the development control process.  The Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 places a duty on every public authority, in exercising its functions, to have regard, so far as is consistent with the proper exercise of those functions, to the purpose of conserving biodiversity.  Both Councils have prepared Local Biodiversity Action Plans.  Local Authorities have a statutory duty to have regard to the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’s (AONB) purposes, which is the conservation and enhancement of their natural beauty.  There is duty to have regard to National Park and AONB purposes applies to activities affecting these areas, whether those activities lie within or outside the designated areas.

Introduction

6.5.2 Nature Conservation: Habitats and species of principal importance for the purpose of conserving biodiversity are covered under Section 42 (Wales) of the NERC Act (2006). In the Plan area, there are many important biodiversity and geodiversity assets. Numerous sites of international importance have been designated as Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protection Areas under the EC Habitats Directive and EC Birds Directive, as well as a number of Ramsar sites designated under the Ramsar Convention. There are also numerous Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphologic Sites (RIGGs), which are areas of national importance for nature conservation and geology. A number of species within the Plan area are protected by law, which also includes provision for habitat enhancement. Some habitats and species have a local importance to the Plan area, which have been highlighted in the Local Biodiversity Action Plan. These are the sites that haven’t been listed as statutory designation; however, they do have high ecological value. These are recognised as Local Wildlife Sites, which are non-statutory designations of high nature conservation value that are based on a sound formal scientific assessment.

6.5.3 There are valuable biodiversity assets to be found in both the rural and urban settings of the Plan area, which are outside the formally designated areas. Vacant brownfield land can provide an ideal habitat in which wildlife can thrive. Parks, green spaces, roadside verges and rivers are examples

200 Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan (31 July, 2017) 7.0 Monitoring and Implementation

7.0 Monitoring and Implementation

Monitoring and implementation

7.1. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act requires authorities to keep under review those matters that may affect the planning and development of their areas. Monitoring is therefore an important part of evidence based policy making in order to assess whether the Plan’s policies are achieving their objective and the Plan’s strategy is being delivered. A monitoring process involves the regular, continuous and systematic collection and analysis of information. A monitoring system is a key mechanism in developing a fuller understanding of the key issues that impact upon communities.

7.2. Local planning authorities are required to develop a monitoring framework to enable the collation of valuable information to measure and assess the performance of a Plan’s objectives and policies. The monitoring framework will allow an ongoing assessment of whether they remain valid or whether the prevailing economic, social or cultural circumstances have significantly altered. The framework set out below comprises a series of indicators, targets and triggers for further action in relation to each theme and its objectives. It will form the basis for assessing the effectiveness of policies at a local and wider level and whether policies and related targets have been met or progress is being made towards meeting them. It also indicates the linkages between the plan themes, objectives (incorporating sustainable development and SEA requirements) and policies. This will provide a basis for the annual monitoring report (AMR) – see below.

7.3. Regulation 37 prescribes the following two indicators that must be included in the AMR:

 the housing land supply taken from the current Housing Land Availability Study (TAN 1); and  the number of additional affordable and number of net additional general market dwellings built in the Plan area (TAN 2).

7.4. The indicators have therefore been established to include the above and where possible other core indicators referred to in the “Local Development Plan Manual”. Additionally, a range of local indicators are included to relate to the specific requirements of individual policies and objectives, and the Sustainability Appraisal/ Strategic Environmental Assessment (see paragraph 7.6 below).

7.5. The Councils have attempted to avoid risks to the delivery of the Plan by adopting a proactive approach to removing constraints and a thorough assessment process. Application of the Candidate Sites Assessment Methodology has ensured as far as it is possible to do so that the sites can be developed and that any constraints to their development can be addressed. Topic Paper 1 published alongside the Deposit Plan records the assessment process and identifies any known factors that need to be considered on a site by site basis. Should any issues arise with the deliverability of allocated sites this will be picked up through thresholds in the monitoring and addressed accordingly through the Annual Monitoring Report (AMR).

7.6. The Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Assessment (SA/ SEA) Scoping Report identifies the indicators that will be used to monitor progress on sustainability issues and more specifically sustainable development. These are set out in the Sustainability Appraisal Report and where possible have been integrated into the framework set out in the Plan.

7.7. The information gathered through the monitoring framework set out below will be reported in the annual monitoring report (AMR). Local planning authorities are required to produce AMR’s following the adoption of LDPs in order to review the plan’s progress and to assess the effectiveness of its

Appendix 1: Tests of Soundness

Preparation Requirements:

 Has preparation complied with legal and regulatory procedural requirements? (LDP Regulations, CIS, SEA Regulations, SA, HRA etc?)

Test 1: Does the plan fit? (i.e. is it clear that the LDP is consistent with other plans?)

Questions • Does it have regard to national policy and WSP • Does it have regard to Well-being Goals • Does it have regard the Welsh National Marine Plan • Is it consistent with regional plans, strategies and utility programmes? • Is it compatible with the plans of neighbouring authorities? • Does it reflect the Single Integrated Plan (SIP) or the National Park Management Plan (NPMP)?

Test 2: Is the plan appropriate? (i.e. is the plan appropriate for the area in the light of the evidence?)

Questions • Is it locally specific? • Does it address the key issues? • Is it supported by robust, proportionate and credible evidence? • Can the rationale behind plan policies be demonstrated? • Does it seek to meet assessed needs and contribute to the achievement of sustainable development? • Are the vision and the strategy positive and sufficiently aspirational? • Have the ‘real’ alternatives been properly considered? • Is it logical, reasonable and balanced? • Is it coherent and consistent? • Is it clear and focused?

Test 3: Will the plan deliver (i.e. is it likely to be effective?)

Questions • Will it be effective? • Can it be implemented? • Is there support from the relevant infrastructure providers both financially and in terms of meeting relevant timescales? • Will development be viable? • Can the sites allocated be delivered? • Is the plan sufficiently flexible? Are there appropriate contingency provisions? • Is it monitored effectively? (Local Development Plan Manual – Edition 2 – August 2015)
