INTRODUCTION 1.1 Knutton & Cross Heath Development Sites Supplementary Planning Document 1.2 The Knutton & Cross Heath Development Sites Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) will form part of the Newcastle-under-Lyme Local Development Framework (LDF) produced by the Borough Council in conjunction with the local community and other key stakeholders. 1.3 The Knutton & Cross Heath Development Sites SPD will form part of the planning framework for Knutton and Cross Heath, which in 2003 was designated an Area of Major Intervention under the Housing Market Renewal Programme. It will specifically relate to the sites to be developed under the Renew North Staffordshire programme and will provide the means for giving greater specific guidance on development matters including securing good design quality. It will amplify the policies set out in the Core Strategy and provide further details of a number of ‘saved’ policies in the Newcastle-under- Lyme Local Plan 20011. It will be subject to rigorous procedures of community engagement in accordance with the Adopted Statement of Community Involvement, August 2006 and will be accorded weight in the determination of planning applications. 1.4 The SPD will focus primarily on the central area of Knutton & Cross Heath comprising the Lower Milehouse Estate, a proposed area for residential development on former industrial land (Collins & Aikman), and connectivity to the adjoining open space areas (the Wammy). Proposals for further specific areas in the surrounding Cotswold Estate and in Cross Heath North and South, and Knutton will be brought forward in subsequent stages. 1.5 Renew North Staffordshire’s strategy, as set out in its first Prospectus (March 2004) and subsequent scheme updates, is to improve the quality of the housing stock, transform the urban form and local environment, and to achieve sustainable neighbourhoods. The role of high quality design is at the core of the housing market renewal agenda, and the production of effective urban design guidance is vital for the realisation of Renew’s strategy. 1.6 The timing of the production of this SPD reflects the commissioning of an Area Regeneration Framework (ARF) by Renew and the need to ensure that there is no impediment in planning terms to the successful implementation of the Renew intervention proposals and so help to realise key objectives in the North Staffordshire Core Spatial Strategy. It will also serve to build confidence by directly involving the community in a process carrying statutory weight. - 2 - 2.0 APPRAISAL METHODOLOGY 2.1 Under section 39 (2) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) England Regulations 2004, local planning authorities must undertake a Sustainability Appraisal (SA) for each of the Local Development Documents (LDDs) included in the Local Development Framework (LDF). The SA process incorporates the requirements of the EU ‘Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive’ (SEA Directive) which requires certain UK plans and programmes – including LDDs – to undergo a formal environmental assessment. In particular, the SEA Directive requires the identification, description and evaluation of the likely significant effects of implementing the plan (the SPD). 2.2 SA involves identifying and evaluating a plan’s impacts on the community, the environment and the economy – the three dimensions of sustainable development. It also suggests ways of avoiding or reducing negative impacts and can make recommendations for strengthening its sustainability performance and in this case will include the likely significant social, environmental and economic effects on some saved policies in the Newcastle- under- Lyme Local Plan. 2.3 Government guidance1 on undertaking SA for LDDs advocates a five-stage process. This process is illustrated in Figure 1. Each stage of the process is divided into subsections reflecting the components of the process that require undertaking and reporting. Stage A: “Setting the context and objectives, establishing the baseline and deciding on the scope” was undertaken in August 2007 in a Scoping Report. 2.4 The Scoping Report identified, through an analysis of the baseline data, a number of key sustainability issues relevant to the area. These issues were developed into a Sustainability Appraisal Framework - a set of Sustainability Objectives with proposed indicators, against which the effects of the SPD could be measured on the Sustainability Objectives. Consultation was undertaken on the Scoping Report, the findings of which are incorporated into this document. (section 3 below). 2.5 Stage B of the SA process has been undertaken in this document, that is, testing the SPD objectives against the Sustainability Objectives, developing and refining options, predicting and assessing the effects, identifying mitigation measures and developing proposals for monitoring. 2.6 The findings of this Sustainability Appraisal will be considered for incorporation into the draft SPD to help ensure that it maximises its contribution to future sustainability and that measures are taken to mitigate significant environmental, economic or social effects. The appraisal will be documented in a ‘Final SA Report’, which will be published alongside the draft SPD for public consultation, see Figure 2 showing how the stages of SA should be integrated into the SPD process. 1 ODPM (2005).

It set out the purpose of the SA, the proposed sustainability objectives, a profile of the AAP area and identified sources of baseline data. The Scoping Report was subject to a five week consultation period and copies were sent to the three statutory consultees, English Heritage, Natural England and Environment Agency. The following organisations were also consulted: • Renew North Staffordshire • Aspire Housing • Bellway Homes • Knutton & Cross Heath Neighbourhood Management Pathfinder 3.2 Comments on the Scoping Report were received from Natural England, the Environment Agency, English Heritage, and the Knutton & Cross Heath Neighbourhood Management Pathfinder which have been incorporated into this document. 3.3 Natural England responded that further indicators needed to be included with regard to the Sustainability Objective “to protect and where possible, enhance biodiversity in the area”. Additional indicators have, therefore been added, which encompass the key biodiversity features in the area (e.g. designated sites, protected species and Biodiversity Action Plan Habitats and Species). The Environment Agency have commented that 2 further policy documents should inform the Sustainability Appraisal – Climate Change: Adaption Through Design (A Guide for Sustainable Communities) TCPA (2007) and Planning and Climate Change – Supplement to PPS1 (2006) currently out for consultation but still a material planning consideration. Observations were also made in relation to the baseline analysis; in particular that risk of flood in the area should be taken into account in the Sustainability Appraisal, with the need for a separate flood risk Sustainability Objective. Other issues raised by the Environment Agency were the need for further objectives relating to the issue of energy efficiency and sustainable building design. English Heritage have considered that a more thorough consideration of historic environment problems, issues and opportunities is required in the baseline analysis with particular reference to the Knutton Housing Typology Study. A specific Sustainability Objective referring to the area’s historic environment is required. 3.4 As a result of these comments, additional baseline issues, sustainability objectives and Sustainability Objectives have been included. Other changes in the wording of the objectives are due to amendments made as a result of suggestions from consultees. - 6 - 4.0 BASELINE CONTEXT, SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES, AND SUSTAINABLITY OBJECTIVES. 4.1 The SEA

All other children will need to stay at home, so we ask that you do not send your child into school from Monday onwards. Please note that this is a national closure – as you may have heard in the news – so while it is a challenging situation, we are not alone. We’ll re-open fully as soon as we can and will let you know when this is by text message. What we’ll continue doing while your child is at home. Your child’s learning is of course important to us, so we’ll continue to help your child to learn. We have / will be posting packs of learning for any absent children and children in school will be taking work home tonight. In addition, there are website links to activities. Please regularly look at the website for updates under the tab Home Learning for school closure. In addition we will text out any updates. information regarding work for the children during the closure.
