Planning Committee 2.00pm, Wednesday 22 August 2018
Present Councillors Gardiner (Convener), Child (Vice-Convener), Booth, Dixon, Gordon, Griffiths, McLellan, Mitchell, Mowat, Osler and Staniforth.
1. Deputation – The Save Leith Walk Campaign Group
The Committee agreed to hear a deputation from the Save Leith Walk Campaign Group to raise concerns about the process for members of the community to have a say on the future of popular local buildings whether there was an outstanding planning application on them or not. The deputation highlighted the following: Concerns were raised about the future of the building at 106-154 Leith Walk, Edinburgh. Historic Environment Scotland (HES) had considered the building for listing but it did not meet the strict criteria of architectural design or historical significance. However, HES did say that the diversity of buildings on the west side of Leith Walk was significant, which was where 106-154 Leith Walk was located. It was the view of The Save Leith Walk Campaign that cultural, economic and social values should play a part in determining the future of particular buildings in our community. It was acknowledged that there was a new community planning structure being implemented but this would not prevent developers that were refused planning permission to demolish buildings submitting new applications for approval. It was suggested by the deputation that if the Planning Committee agreed that the demolition of a public building was not in the interests of the community, there should be a moratorium on future planning applications for demolitions for 5 years. The deputation also suggested that the Council should consider building maintenance orders to prevent buildings from becoming neglected and falling into disrepair.
The Convener thanked the deputation and invited them to stay in the public gallery for the remainder of the meeting. 2. Minutes
Decision To approve the minute of the Planning Committee of the 30 May 2018 as a correct record. 3. Zero Carbon New Buildings - Feasibility
Planning Committee on the 11 December 2017 agreed a motion to receive a report in 3 cycles that set out the feasibility of introducing an Edinburgh Standard for Zero Carbon New Buildings. Committee considered a report that assessed the feasibility of such a policy and set out how best the Council could ensure that new buildings in Edinburgh achieved zero carbon. Motion To approve a review of the Council’s approach to achieving zero carbon new buildings in Edinburgh as part of the preparation of the next local development plan. - Moved by Councillor Gardiner, seconded by Councillor Child Amendment 1 To approve a review of the Council’s approach to achieving zero carbon new buildings in Edinburgh as part of the preparation of the next local development plan, and therefore to agree to consult as part of the main issues report on how greater sustainability could be achieved in new developments in Edinburgh by requiring new domestic and non-domestic developments to achieve gold or platinum level sustainability criteria in some or all of the 8 aspects set out in the Scottish Building Standards handbook, together with a timetable for achieving this, and consideration of a mechanism to periodically review the standards and the sustainability levels required. - Moved by Councillor Booth, seconded by Councillor Staniforth In terms of Standing Order 21(11), the amendment was accepted as an addendum to the motion. Amendment 2 To approve a review of the Council’s approach to achieving zero carbon new buildings in Edinburgh as part of the preparation of the next local development plan. - Moved by Councillor Mowat, seconded by Councillor McLellan Voting

(Reference – report by the Executive Director of Place, submitted.) 7. Urban Gull Control Options
On 17 May 2018 the Transport and Environment Committee considered a report by the Executive Director of Place on options for the control of urban gulls and work which could be done to tackle the problem of gulls colonising in urban areas of Edinburgh. The report was referred to the Planning Committee for consideration. Decision 1) To agree that the Planning Committee would consider the roof structures on new builds and refurbishments to minimise their attraction to nesting gulls. 2) To agree that a paragraph would be added to the Edinburgh Design Guidance on consideration of the roof structure of new builds to discourage gulls from nesting. 3) To note that a report on Edinburgh Design Guidance would be brought to the Planning Committee in October 2018 and this would make reference to the addition to the Guidance. (References – Transport and Environment Committee 17 May 2018 (item 16); report by the Executive Director of Place; submitted.) 8. Development Plan Scheme
Approval was sought for a new Development Plan Scheme. Planning authorities had to publish a scheme at least once a year to set out their programme for preparing their local development plan. The last such scheme was approved and published in September 2017. Decision 1) To approve the new Development Plan Scheme detailed in Appendix 1 of the report for publication. 2) To refer the report to the Housing and Economy Committee for information. (References – Housing and Economy Committee, 7 June 2018 (item 9); report by the Executive Director of Place, submitted.) 9. Local Development Plan – Elected Member Involvement – referral from the Housing and Economy Committee
On 7 June 2018 the Housing and Economy Committee considered an update report by the Executive Director of Place on opportunities for elected members to be involved in the project to prepare a new local development plan for the city. The Convener ruled that the decision taken by Council on 28 June 2018 to transfer political responsibility for the strategic development (LDP) from the Housing and Economy Committee to the Planning Committee represented a material change in circumstance, as described in paragraph 28(1a) of the Council’s Standing Orders.
Planning Committee – 22 August 2018 Decision 1) To note the earlier decision of the Housing and Economy Committee and endorse the setting up of an elected member forum. 2) To agree that in view of the Council decision of 28 June 2018 to transfer political responsibility for the strategic development (LDP) from the Housing and Economy Committee to the Planning Committee that it would now be more appropriate if the forum comprised the Conveners and Vice-Conveners of the Planning and Housing and Economy Committees, the Convener of the Transport and Environment Committee, and six opposition members (3 Conservative, 2 Green and 1 Liberal Democrat). 3) To note that the Housing and Economy and Planning Committees had been invited to confirm the adjustment to the membership of the elected member forum and that the Convener had ruled that the June 2018 Council decision represented a material change in circumstance. (References – Housing and Economy Committee 7 June 2018 (item 9); report by the Executive Director of Place, submitted.) 10. Supplementary Guidance: Heat Opportunities Mapping
Approval was sought for the finalised Supplementary Guidance on Heat Opportunities Mapping. The Supplementary Guidance (SG) had been prepared in line with the Local Development Plan’s requirement for SG regarding heat mapping and district heating opportunities. Decision 1) To approve the finalised Supplementary Guidance on Heat Opportunities Mapping detailed in Appendix 1 of the report. 2) To note that the Supplementary Guidance on Heat Opportunities Mapping would be adopted as part of the statutory development plan following procedural steps. (References – Planning Committee, 14 March 2018 (item 4); report by the Executive Director of Place, submitted.) 11. Supplementary Guidance: Developer Contributions and Infrastructure Delivery
Details were provided of a report that sought approval of the final version of Supplementary Guidance (SG) on Developer Contributions and Infrastructure Delivery. The SG had been prepared to support the Local Development Plan’s (LDP) policies on infrastructure and developer contributions, and to deliver the infrastructure actions set out in the Action Programme. Decision 1) To approve the finalised Supplementary Guidance on Developer Contributions and Infrastructure delivery detailed in Appendix 3 of the report.
Planning Committee – 22 August 2018 2) To note that the finalised Supplementary Guidance on Developer Contributions and Infrastructure delivery would be adopted as part of the statutory development plan following procedural steps. (Reference – report by the Executive Director of Place, submitted.)
12. Review of Conservation Area Character Appraisals
Approval was sought for an updated programme of review of the existing conservation area character appraisals. The rationale behind the proposed programme based on a prioritisation exercise was explained. Decision 1) To approve the proposed review programme for conservation area character appraisals. 2) To agree that priority would be given to the review of the conservation area character appraisals in the Trinity area and to include Granton Road, Granton Square and Wardie Road as part of the review. (Reference – report by the Executive Director of Place, submitted.)

Recent News Background
Building Standards Improvements
Progress has continued to be made on the Building Standards Improvement Plan. The People Plan has been developed and is focussed on leadership and management, operational performance, employee consultation and engagement as well as developing a workforce fit for needs of the service. The major themes are continuous improvement and supporting employees through this period of change.
In August and September a recruitment campaign was run. This targeted potential candidates for Building Standards jobs via social media including Linked-In, Twitter, Facebook. This has proved successful and it is expected that all vacant posts will be filled.
In addition, in September, three Apprentice Building Standards Surveyors were appointed. In conjunction with their employment, they are working towards undergraduate degrees at Heriot Watt University.
Improvements in performance have been focussed on driving down the backlog of applications that are awaiting first reports. Between mid-July and mid-September 2018, the number was reduced from 320 to 68.
At the same time, 96% of new applications received since the start of July have had first reports issued within 20 days of the applications being received. This exceeds the Scottish st Government’s target which is that 95% of applications shall have 1 reports issue on them within 20 days.

Edinburgh Design Guidance – Post Approval Review
Item number Report number Executive/routine Wards Council Commitments C10, C15, C18, C27
Executive Summary
The purpose of this report is for the Committee to note feedback on the Edinburgh Design Guidance since its approval in October 2017, and to approve some minor updates to the Guidance in response to this feedback.
Report
Edinburgh Design Guidance – Post Approval Review
1. Recommendations
1.1 It is recommended that the Planning Committee: 1.1.1 notes the feedback received about the Edinburgh Design Guidance since its approval in October 2017 following substantial review; 1.1.2 approves the minor updates detailed in Appendix 1 which respond to the feedback received; and 1.1.3 agrees that any future minor updates to the Edinburgh Design Guidance can be dealt with through the Annual Review of Guidance process which is presented to the Committee at the start of each calendar year, until such time as a more substantial review is required.
2. Background
2.1 Scottish Planning Policy (SPP, 2014) states that Planning’s purpose is to create better places and that it should take every opportunity to create high quality places by taking a design-led approach. 2.2 The Edinburgh Local Development Plan (LDP) provides the basis for determining planning applications. Planning guidance documents such as the Edinburgh Design Guidance (the Guidance) interpret the policies set out in the LDP and explains how developments can comply with it. The Guidance is the Council’s key document in setting out how new development can achieve high quality design and successful place making. 2.3 A review of the LDP is currently underway and its replacement, City Plan 2030, is anticipated to be adopted in spring 2021. Any changes to LDP policies as part of its review will need to be reflected in associated planning guidance, once adopted. Likewise, revisions to guidance documents which relate to new matters not currently reflected in the adopted LDP can only be made as part of its review and following its adoption. 2.4 On 12 October 2017, Planning Committee approved substantial revisions to the Guidance in line with policies in the adopted LDP. Due to the substantial nature of the review, the Committee agreed that the Executive Director of Place would submit a report in 12 months primarily to assess the outcome of these key changes on decision making. Feedback could then be used to determine any refinements
Planning Committee 3 October 2018 Page 2
necessary so that the Guidance is being used as effectively as possible. The purpose of this report is to set out feedback following this post-approval review and to propose minor updates to the Guidance.
3. Main Report
3.1 The Edinburgh Design Guidance was reviewed substantially during 2016/17, culminating in its approval by the Planning Committee on 12 October 2017. The key revisions were: 3.1.1 a greater emphasis on place making; 3.1.2 recognising and reflecting changes to policy and guidance nationally, Placemaking (2014) and Low Emissions (2015), and locally, the LDP (2016); 3.1.3 integration and simplification of the Parking Standards which were viewed as overly complex and introducing new content relating to parking design; 3.1.4 introducing new content covering Build to Rent housing, views to the Forth Bridge World Heritage Site and environmental protection which includes matters relating to noise, air quality and odour; 3.1.5 updating content in some sections, notably the water environment section; and 3.1.6 including the Edinburgh Street Design Guidance (ESDG) within the Guidance so it becomes a single point of reference for all design and place making matters. 3.2 This report sets out feedback regarding these key changes following almost 12 months of use and scrutiny since the approval of the Guidance. General feedback on other elements of the Guidance have also been summarised and minor changes proposed. Feedback has been gained primarily through internal officer-led discussions. Appendix 1 of this report sets out the proposed changes to the Guidance. Feedback on key changes Greater emphasis on place making 3.3 The Guidance sets the bar high for the delivery of good quality development and place making. Positive feedback has been received from officers regarding the greater emphasis on place making and therefore no changes are proposed to the Guidance in this regard. Reflecting changes to national and local policy and guidance 3.4 Since the approval of the Guidance, there have been no changes to national and local planning policy and guidance which require to be reflected in this post approval review. No issues have been raised on the emphasis and content of current references to national and local policy and guidance.
Planning Committee 3 October 2018 Page 3
Parking Standards 3.5 The key changes to the Parking Standards as a result of the review included the: 3.5.1 removal of minimum parking requirements for cars and revisions to the quantity of parking required for some use/user types; 3.5.2 inclusion of design principles, technical details and diagrams to guide the design and integration of parking in new developments; 3.5.3 inclusion of a minimum requirement for electric vehicle charge point provision and technical details on charge point infrastructure; 3.5.4 requirement for applicants to submit evidence to support parking strategies, including parking surveys; and 3.5.5 consolidation of the geographic zones to reflect public transport accessibility, and the alignment of the Standards to reflect Planning use classes. 3.6 Since the Guidance was approved in October 2017, transport officers have been consulted on around 460 planning applications. Feedback confirms that developers are generally adhering to the requirements in the Guidance, and where there is non-compliance it can usually be attributed to lack of awareness about what is required. 3.7 Developers are encouraged to engage with transport officers at the earliest opportunity. To assist with this, a comprehensive list of transport requirements has been produced to support the principles in the Guidance, and this is issued to applicants for all relevant proposals at the pre-application stage. 3.8 Compliance with the requirements for electric vehicle charging infrastructure has been positive. Procedures around the management and maintenance of infrastructure are in the process of being explored to ensure that vehicle charging points can be operated effectively. A business case examining maintenance and management procedures has been prepared and will be presented to the Transport and Environment Committee in October 2018. 3.9 For all Planning use classes (other than housing), the Standards require a level of accessible parking for employees with disabilities. This requirement has been questioned as these details can be uncertain at the planning application stage and may change over the lifetime of a development. This requirement was based on a review of best practice from other areas of the UK. On reflection, it is proposed that this requirement remains as it provides the impetus for engaging in site specific discussions around accessible parking provision to ensure that reasonable levels are included in new developments. 3.10 The Standards are set to ensure high levels of cycle parking. Where provision may seem excessive due to scaling (for example a 300 bed student accommodation development would require 300 cycle parking spaces) transport officers work with developers to determine a level of cycle parking that is reasonable and maximises the use of bicycles.
Planning Committee 3 October 2018 Page 4
3.11 Feedback has suggested that garages should be excluded from car parking numbers, as very few garages are used for cars. However there is no proposal to change the Standards as this would increase overall parking provision, contrary to the ethos of the Guidance and the Council’s wider place making ambitions. Garages are still an effective option to help reduce the visual impact of parked cars, especially if developments are designed to limit other types of parking elsewhere. 3.12 The diagrams in the Guidance have been helpful in demonstrating how developments should be designed to minimise the impact of parked cars. However, feedback suggests that the diagram in chapter 2.4 on page 51 showing good examples of parking options within semi-detached dwelling plots shows sufficient parking space for several cars. It is proposed that this diagram be altered to show less space for cars. 3.13 Overall, feedback confirms that the Standards and guidance on parking design have been well received and that there is very little resistance from developers to complying with the requirements. This will continue to be monitored and revisions suggested as required over the lifetime of the Guidance. Build to Rent 3.14 As part of the review, a new section was included in the Guidance to reflect recent innovations in the Private Rented Sector (PRS) and the growth in proposals for the development and long-term management of housing for rent. This type of housing is commonly referred to as Build to Rent (BTR). 3.15 The Guidance acknowledges the role that BTR development can have in expanding Edinburgh’s housing mix, and sets out the key characteristics of BTR housing as informed by recent experiences in Scotland and England. The Guidance also emphasises that BTR is mainstream housing and therefore relevant LDP policies and guidance will apply. 3.16 Since the approval of the Guidance, positive feedback has been received on the inclusion of specific advice for BTR developments, including from the BTR industry. Whilst there have only been a limited number of proposals relating to BTR coming forward in the Planning process since October 2017, most of which relate to amendments to existing applications, those using the Guidance consider that it has been beneficial in providing clarity on the Council’s position and in facilitating meaningful discussions about the delivery of existing and prospective schemes. Overall, the guidance has been welcomed as a positive response to Scottish Government’s call for local authorities to engage positively with the BTR sector. 3.17 During the review process one BTR issue attracted particular comment. The Guidance accepts that, in exceptional circumstances, flexibility in the application of certain design standards could be explored subject to the overall quality of the development. The Scottish Government advocates the use of such flexibility in its Planning Advice Note on BTR. The flexibility set out in the Guidance relates to potential relaxations on internal amenity space standards and the proportion of single aspect units.
Planning Committee 3 October 2018 Page 5
3.18 In terms of flexibility on internal amenity space standards, feedback confirms that the one-bed unit diagrammatic example in the Guidance has been helpful in negotiating limits to the level of flexibility allowed based on the overall quality of the development. Quality has been assessed by looking at matters such as the level of daylight and sunlight entering the unit and the inclusion of on-site shared facilities such as communal lounges, gyms and secure storage. In response to feedback, it is proposed that stronger emphasis on the benefits of delivering a variety of on-site shared facilities is included in the Guidance, as this is one of the key markers for determining the quality of the development. 3.19 With regard to flexibility on the proportion of single aspect units, the Guidance states that open plan layouts which increase useable space and allow light to penetrate more deeply into the units may justify a limited increase in single aspect units over the standard 50%. The Guidance however confirms that developments should still be designed to facilitate a substantial quantity of dual aspect units. Feedback confirms that further detail is required on the importance of and reasoning behind the benefits of providing dual (or more) aspects in dwellings to further support this position. 3.20 Proposed changes to the Guidance to respond to the feedback raised are set out in Appendix 1. 3.21 It is expected that, subject to market conditions, proposals for BTR development will continue to come forward as part of the Planning process. As such, the Guidance will continue to be monitored and any further revisions will be proposed through the Annual Review of Guidance process where appropriate. This continual process of monitoring and review will ensure that the Guidance reflects the city’s growing experience in this type of development. Views to the Forth Bridge World Heritage Site 3.22 No issues have been raised about the protection of key views to the Forth Bridge World Heritage Site therefore no changes are proposed to this element of the Guidance. However, additional clarity is proposed on matters relating to the consideration of developments which may affect the Outstanding Universal Value of either of the two World Heritage Sites (Old and New Town and the Forth Bridge). Environmental protection 3.23 A new section was added to the Guidance under 2.5 ‘Environmental Protection’ covering air quality, noise protection, lighting, contaminated land and odour. No issues have been raised about this content since the approval of the Guidance, therefore no changes are proposed. Water environment Feedback indicated that minor changes in relation to flood mitigation and the design of natural river environments would be helpful. Revisions are therefore proposed to the Guidance within the water environment section.
Planning Committee 3 October 2018 Page 6
Edinburgh Street Design Guidance 3.24 A key revision to the Guidance was the inclusion of the Edinburgh Street Design Guidance (ESDG) within chapter four ‘Designing places: streets’. 3.25 The ESDG provides consolidated guidance on the design of projects that maintain, alter or construct streets (including urban paths) in Edinburgh, by adopting a design approach focused on place making and sustainable forms of transport. 3.26 The ESDG serves to ensure that new development proposals comply with planning policy objectives, while also ensuring the Council’s responsibilities under roads and transport legislation, including the delivery of public realm, comply with government policy. 3.27 Positive feedback has been received on the inclusion of the ESDG into the Guidance from a usability perspective and in strengthening the foundation that the design and planning of streets, buildings and spaces together is fundamental to creating good places. Minor updates to Guidance on other matters 3.28 Feedback has also been received on other matters not relating to the key changes approved in October 2017. These matters are summarised as follows: Sustainable buildings 3.29 LDP Policy Des 6 ‘Sustainable Buildings’ is written to ensure that new buildings in Edinburgh meet the current carbon reduction standards set out in Section 6 of the Scottish Building Standards, with the knowledge that the Scottish Building Standards will rise over the lifetime of the plan, working towards net zero carbon. 3.30 Low and zero carbon technologies can be renewable energy sources such as solar panels and micro-wind, heat pumps, combined heat and power and district heating infrastructure and equipment such as mechanical ventilation and heat recovery which uses fossil fuels but results in significantly lower carbon dioxide emission overall. 3.31 The Guidance requires information from applicants to confirm the sustainability of all developments (apart from domestic alterations and extensions and change of use for local developments) to be submitted using the ‘S1 Sustainability Form’. As the form was aligned to the previous 2013 Building Standards, it will be updated to reflect the new 2017 Building Standards as part of this post-approval review. 3.32 On 22 August 2018, a report on ‘Zero Carbon New Buildings – Feasibility’ was presented to the Planning Committee which recommended that the Council’s approach to achieving zero carbon new buildings in Edinburgh is reviewed as part of the preparation of the next LDP. The Planning Committee approved this recommendation in addition to agreeing that the LDP Main Issues Report should consult on how greater sustainability could be achieved in new developments to achieve gold or platinum level sustainability criteria in some or all of the eight aspects set out in the Scottish Buildings handbook. It was also agreed that a
Planning Committee 3 October 2018 Page 7
mechanism to periodically review the standards and the sustainability levels required should also be considered. Gull and pigeon deterrents 3.33 On 17 May 2018, the Transport and Environment Committee recommended that the Planning Committee give consideration to including guidance within a relevant planning document on designing roof structures on new developments and refurbishments to minimise their attraction to nesting gulls. This recommendation was made in response to the committee report on ‘Urban Gull Control Options’. 3.34 A new sub-section is proposed to be included within section 2.7 of the Guidance under ‘Materials and Detailing’ to confirm that all developments should include roof designs which deter roosting and nesting gulls. The new sub-section also includes pigeons as well as gulls, as pigeons are mentioned elsewhere in the report as requiring the same type of control measures. The proposed changes have been agreed in consultation with the Council’s biodiversity officers. Minimising waste collection and storage infrastructure 3.35 In response to the Council’s ongoing commitment to decluttering streets, this post- approval review is considered a good opportunity to strengthen the emphasis on minimising waste infrastructure. 3.36 Amendments are proposed to section 2.11 ‘Housing mix and size, and supporting facilities’ in relation to new residential developments to confirm that the primary way to minimise waste infrastructure will be via the implementation of underground waste storage systems with above ground collection chutes. This system has been implemented already to some extent in the city and elsewhere in the UK, but it is considered that the emphasis in the Guidance is not currently strong enough to direct developers to this as the first port of call. The proposed wording confirms that unless constraints exist which cannot be overcome, this system should be the primary system for all new housing developments. The proposed wording has been agreed in consultation in with the Council’s Waste and Cleansing Service. 3.37 An amendment is also proposed to section 2.8 ‘Adaptability’, to include a requirement for commercial developments to include sufficient space to store waste within the site, preferably internally, so that it is off public land until it requires to be collected. This amendment will support the principles of the Council’s trade waste policy as part of the Street Scene Project, which precludes the storage of trade waste on public land. 3.38 The minimisation of waste infrastructure will have a positive impact on the appearance of streets and the delivery of high quality places. Daylighting in Public Buildings 3.39 The Education, Children and Families Committee of 14 August 2018 considered a report on the Daylight Impact Assessment of the Central Library. The Committee decided to request that the Planning Committee inter alia considers reviewing the required lighting standards to be applied to planning applications coming forward in
Planning Committee 3 October 2018 Page 8
the future. This report is another item on the agenda for this meeting. In response, it is proposed to make a minor addition to the section 2.10 Daylight, Sunlight, Privacy and Outlook. Cycle Hire 3.40 A cycle hire scheme was launched in September 2018 and is being rolled out across the city. To encourage the provision of cycle hire points within major developments, section 2.4 of the Guidance will be updated to state that all major new developments will be asked to consider the integration of cycle hire points into layouts, taking into account LDP Policy Des 7. Implementation and reinforcement of Guidance 3.41 To achieve effective use of the Guidance, there is a continued commitment to support officers with training and the development of new processes. As part of this, an officer-led internal design review process will be trialled to encourage early discussion about the design and quality of new proposals. This will also help achieve consistency in implementing the principles of the Guidance.
4. Measures of success
4.1 Measures of success will include: 4.1.1 continued effective use of the Guidance to support decision-making to deliver high quality places; 4.1.2 less need for pre-application advice due to the clarity of the guidance presented; and 4.1.3 the submission of high quality planning applications which detail all the relevant information required to demonstrate that proposals are compliant with achieving good design and place making.
5. Financial impact
5.1 The Guidance involves no additional financial commitment, with the costs of publishing the updated Guidance being met from existing budgets.
6. Risk, policy, compliance and governance impact
6.1 This report does not raise any concern in relation to risk, policy, compliance and governance. Where possible, each section of the Guidance is clearly aligned to, and explicitly states, specific LDP policies. This helps to promote adherence to the policies and rigour in-terms of the quality of design.
Planning Committee 3 October 2018 Page 9
7. Equalities impact
7.1 The report has no significant impact on equalities, health, wellbeing, human rights, the environment, sustainability and the economy, as its primary role is to present feedback on the revised Guidance. The minor updates proposed to respond to the feedback received, as set out in Appendix 1 of this report, are not considered to be significant enough to require Integrated Impact Assessments.
8. Sustainability impact
8.1 The proposals in this report will: 8.1.1 reinforce LDP requirements to meet the current carbon reduction standards in line with the Scottish Building Standards 2017; 8.1.2 help achieve a sustainable Edinburgh because whilst the post-approval review will not directly promote social justice, several of the requirements in the Guidance do; 8.1.3 help achieve a sustainable Edinburgh because whilst the post-approval review of the Guidance will not directly promote a healthy and resilient economy, several of the requirements Guidance do; 8.1.4 have a positive impact on environmental stewardship because the updated Guidance will be published in electronic-only format, reducing the use of paper; and 8.1.5 will contribute positively to sustainability including with regard to the protection of the historic and water environment as a result of a number of the minor updates proposed to the Guidance (refer to Appendix 1).
9. Consultation and engagement
9.1 Widespread public and stakeholder consultation and engagement was undertaken as part of the review of the Guidance during 2016/17. Feedback on the content and usability of the Guidance since its approval in October 2017 has been gained primarily through internal officer and elected member discussions, along with some industry feedback. 9.2 There is no need for additional consultation in relation to this report, which is primarily to set out feedback and propose minor updates in response to this feedback.

New Arrangements for Funding Third Sector Delivery
Partners
Item number Report number Executive/routine Wards All Council Commitments 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
Executive Summary
This report seeks Committee approval to change how the planning service funds third sector delivery partners. To better reflect the nature of Planning’s direct relationship with these important implementation partners, it is proposed to move from a system of annual grant awards to three-year service level agreements (SLA). This will provide more budgetary certainty for partners and help ensure their delivery activity is fully aligned with Council objectives and outcomes. This new approach would apply to the two largest recipients of funding - Edinburgh World Heritage and Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust – for the period 2019-22. It is also proposed to cease awarding small grants and instead enter into SLAs agreements with several third sector organisations who also help to maintain and improve Edinburgh’s built and natural heritage for future generations. A further report will be presented to Committee in the February 2019 seeking approval to enter into detailed three-year SLAs.
Report
New Arrangements for Funding Third Sector Delivery Partners
1. Recommendations
1.1 It is recommended that Committee: 1.1.1 agrees to change the funding basis for third sector delivery partners from annual grant awards to three-year service level agreements; 1.1.2 agrees to enter into service level agreements for the period 2019 to 2022 with the two largest funding recipients: Edinburgh World Heritage (EWH) and the Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust (ELGT); 1.1.3 notes that service level agreements will be entered into with the recipients of smaller levels of funding, including the Cockburn Association, the Edinburgh Access Panel, and existing arrangements will continue with Planning Aid for Scotland and The Wildlife Information Centre; 1.1.4 notes that funding for Archaeology Scotland and the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland will cease but as a transitional arrangement these bodies will continue to be funded for one further year; and 1.1.5 notes that a report will be presented to Committee in February 2019 detailing draft service level agreements with EWH and ELGT, for approval.
2. Background
2.1 For many years, grants have been awarded on an annual basis to support a range of third sector organisations. The aims and objectives of these organisations were well-aligned with Council’s planning and placemaking objectives to protect and enhance Edinburgh’s built and natural heritage. 2.2 The total funding available is limited, amounting to £86,000 in financial year 2018/19. Of this, grants to the two largest organisations accounted for 90% of the available funds. 2.3 The renewal of grants to third sector organisations under £25,000,is delegated to the Head of Service.
Planning Committee – 3rd October 2018 Page 2
3. Main report
3.1 Planning has operated a limited grant programme since 2010. In 2018/19 the vast majority of this fund - some 90% - was awarded to two partner organisations: Edinburgh World Heritage (EWH) (£46,000) and Edinburgh and the Lothians Green Space Trust (ELGT) (£25,833). EWH works in partnership with the Council and Historic Environment Scotland to help implement the Edinburgh Old and New Town World Heritage Site Management Plan, fulfilling the collective obligation to UNESCO and the World Heritage Centre. ELGT delivers projects that enhance the quality of life for Edinburgh’s communities by improving their local environment; it works with the Council, communities, agencies and partners to create sustainable, well-managed and accessible green spaces. It is also an active member of the Edinburgh Biodiversity Partnership. The Trust is currently drafting a new Strategy for the period 2019 to 2023. 3.2 In 2018/19 small grants were also awarded to the Cockburn Association (£6,000), the Edinburgh Access Panel (£630), the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland (£700) and Archaeology Scotland (£475). 3.3 The Cockburn Association manages the Civic Forum on behalf of the planning service as well as delivering Doors Open Day. The Edinburgh Access Panel works with the planning service to deliver improved access for disabled people to buildings, transport, streetscape and services in Edinburgh. An example of recent engagement includes consultation as part of the “Connecting our City, Transforming our Places” project. 3.4 Given the relatively small levels of funding and the strong partnerships developed to directly deliver Council and planning objectives with EWH and ELGT, as well as some of the smaller grant recipients, there is strong justification that financial support for these organisations should remain in place. 3.5 However it is considered that the grant mechanism which requires applicants to bid for funds is not the most effective way for planning to work in partnership with these third sector organisations and a move to service level agreements (SLA) with these organisations would be more appropriate. SLAs are a standard method of procurement, which the Council adopts when working with third sector organisations who support and deliver Council service objectives. Three-year SLAs, which are consistent with the Council corporate approach to third party funding, will give partner organisations much more budgetary certainty, an outcome they have sought for some time. They will also give the Council the reassurance that there will be continuity in the provision of these important delivery services. SLAs will be drawn up in consultation with these organisations before they come to committee. This approach will be reviewed again in three years’ time. 3.6 An example of where this has already been working successfully is with the Wildlife Information Centre (TWIC) whom the Planning service engage, through an SLA, to manage ecological data and undertake site assessment. A level of service is also agreed with PAS, through a subscription arrangement; This year this involved
Planning Committee – 3rd October 2018 Page 3
working with schools, during the ‘Year of Young People’, to engage them in the preparation of the City Plan 2030. Other organisations receiving grants 3.7 It is proposed to discontinue funding for the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland and Archaeology Scotland as they are not working as directly with the Council to deliver planning outcomes. However, as a reasonable transitional arrangement, it is proposed to support both organisations for one further year, in financial year 2019/20. The amounts are not large: £700 and £475 respectively.
4. Measures of success
4.1 The Council will enter into SLAs with the identified delivery partners in time to enable funding for financial year 2019/20. SLAs will commit the funded organisations to deliver actions and measurable outcomes fully aligned with Council planning and placemaking objectives. 4.2 This arrangement will be reviewed every three years.
5. Financial impact
5.1 For the next three financial years it is assumed the total available for third party SLAs will continue to be around £86,000 per year, which is the sum available in 2018/19. A report will be presented to Committee in February 2019 setting out specific SLA funding amounts, following approval of the Council budget for 2019/20.
6. Risk, policy, compliance and governance impact
6.1 There are no identified risks associated with approval of the report as recommended. There is a risk to partner organisations if funding is not put in place.
7. Equalities impact
7.1 No infringements of rights or negative impacts on equalities have been identified. Supporting these third sector organisations increases the ability of people in Edinburgh to participate in the operation of the Council.
8. Sustainability impact
8.1 Supporting the identified organisations as proposed will have a significant positive impact on the environment and people’s understanding of and engagement with Edinburgh’s built and natural heritage.
Planning Committee – 3rd October 2018 Page 4
9. Consultation and engagement
9.1 All grant recipients were advised during negotiation for the 2018/19 grant that a review would be taking place with regards to future funding arrangements. Further discussions have taken place with regards to the proposed new arrangements and will continue following this Committee meeting.

Housing Land Audit and Completions Programme
2018
Item number Report number Executive/routine Wards All Council Commitments
Executive Summary
The Housing Land Audit and Completions Programme (HLACP) is a monitoring tool used to assess the performance of Strategic Development Plan (SDP) housing land policies and targets. The HLACP records the amount of land available for house building, identifies any constraints affecting development and assesses the adequacy of the land supply against the housing supply target and housing land requirement set by the SDP. Edinburgh’s 2018 HLACP has been completed. Completion rates have been increasing over recent years with completions of affordable housing accounting for nearly 50% of all completions between 2011 and 2015. Over the last two years, the number of affordable completions have remained high and private market completions have increased. Total completions are now back to pre-recessions levels with the 2018 figure the highest recorded since the millennium. The HLACP examines both the supply of land (an input) and the expected delivery of new homes (an output). The report demonstrates that there is more than sufficient housing land, free from development constraints, to meet the housing land requirement set by the SDP. The report also demonstrates that the five year completions programme, previously referred to as the five year effective land supply, is above the five year completions target.
Planning Committee – 3 October 2018 Page 2
Report
Housing Land Audit and Completions Programme 2018
1. Recommendations
1.1 It is recommended that Committee: 1.1.1 notes the findings of this report including Appendix 2, 'The Housing Land Audit and Completions Programme 2018'; 1.1.2 agrees the actions proposed in paragraphs 3.24 and 3.25 to help continue to increase delivery of new homes; 1.1.3 agrees to refer this report to the SESplan Project Board for its information; 1.1.4 agrees to refer this report to the Scottish Government to assist in the ongoing development of planning practice in relation to housing delivery and measuring the availability of land; and 1.1.5 refers this report to the Housing and Economy Committee for information.
2. Background
2.1 The SDP for Edinburgh and South East Scotland was approved by Scottish Ministers in June 2013. SESplan supplementary guidance on housing land was approved in 2014 and sets the Housing Supply Target for the City of Edinburgh Council area. 2.2 Scottish Planning Policy (SPP) requires local authorities to maintain a five year supply of effective housing land at all times to ensure that the housing land requirement is met. The annual HLACP is used to monitor the effective housing land supply. It will also be used to inform infrastructure decisions through the Local Development Plan (LDP) Action Programme. 2.3 On 6 October 2016, the Planning Committee considered a report on the 2016 housing land audit that utilised a new approach to auditing land for housing and housing delivery. Previously, the housing land supply was measured in terms of the anticipated output or completions programme. The report recognised that: 2.3.1 Land for housing is an input to a process; 2.3.2 The delivery of new homes is an output from the process; and 2.3.3 Housing land and the delivery of new homes should be measured as separate things.
Planning Committee – 3 October 2018 Page 3
2.4 The report concluded that although there was sufficient effective housing land to meet the housing land requirement set by the SDP, the anticipated delivery of new homes was below the five year completions target. The report acknowledged that there was a need to increase delivery of new homes in the short term and set out several ways that the council was seeking to do so. 2.5 On 12 October 2017, Planning Committee considered a report on the 2017 housing land audit which further enhanced the audit process by identifying the steps need to increase housing delivery on a site by site basis. 2.6 This report provides an update on the supply of housing land and the delivery of new homes based upon the findings of the 2018 HLACP and assesses the adequacy of the land supply against the housing land requirement set by the SDP.
3. Main report
3.1 In order for a housing site to be considered ‘effective’, it must be free of all constraints that would prevent development. Sites are considered against a range of criteria set out in Planning Advice Note 2/2010 “Affordable Housing and Housing Land Audits” (PAN 2/2010). These criteria include ownership, physical (e.g. slope, aspect, stability, flood risk, access), contamination, deficit funding, marketability, infrastructure and land use. PAN 2/2010 also states that “The contribution of any site to the effective land supply is that portion of the expected output from the site which can be completed within the five year period”. 3.2 The report considered by Planning Committee in October 2016 used an alternative approach to measuring housing land supply and delivery. The new approach recognises that delivery of new homes can be affected by many economic and demand factors unrelated to the supply of effective land available for development. The anticipated completions programme, therefore, is not the only assessment that the Council considers to measure the adequacy of the land supply. Land supply is also considered in terms of the capacity of unconstrained land available for development. A revised approach is supported by the SESplan Joint Committee which at its meeting on 14 December 2015, noted 'the difficulty in maintaining the five year effective supply in Edinburgh is not related to a shortage of unconstrained land in that area'. 3.3 The 2018 HLACP is attached as Appendix 2. The contents of the 2018 HLACP, including the programmed delivery rates, have been discussed and agreed as reasonable with Homes for Scotland. Housing Land Supply 3.4 As at 31 March 2018, there was sufficient land free of planning constraints and available for development for 22,153 houses. In addition to this, there was land for a further 8,143 houses on sites where there is currently a constraint preventing development. Whilst there are many factors that affect the rate of development on particular sites, constrained sites are those where no development can take place
Planning Committee – 3 October 2018 Page 4
without some form of remedial action. Schedule 4 in Appendix 2 lists the housing sites that are currently regarded as constrained and notes the nature of the constraint that is currently preventing development from taking place. 3.5 The effective land supply is varied in type, size and location. It is spread over a range of locations and includes brownfield (54%) and greenfield (46%) sites. 3.6 The locations and status of housing sites making up the established housing land supply in the City of Edinburgh is shown on the map attached as Appendix 1. Housing Land Requirement 3.7 The housing supply target for the City of Edinburgh is set by the South East Scotland SDP (approved 2013) and its supplementary guidance (2014). The housing supply target was set at 22,300 units from 2009 to 2019 and a further 7,210 from 2019 to 2024. The LDP Report of Examination (June 2016) recommended extending the housing supply target to 2026, increasing the target by a further 2,884 houses. Taking account of completions to date, this results in a housing supply target of 15,805 for the period 2018 to 2026. Adding in a 10% ‘generosity’ margin to help ensure that the target will be met, the housing land requirement is 17,386. The 2018 HLACP identified an effective land supply of 22,153 units; more than sufficient to meet the requirement. Housing Delivery 3.8 Following the steep decline in the housing market brought about by the credit crunch and subsequent recession in the mid 2000’s, a recovery has been taking place. The number of new homes completed has more than doubled over the last five years from 1,191 in 2012/13 to 2,651 in 2017/18. The number of completions recorded in 2017/18 is the highest since the millennium. 3.9 The forward programme of anticipated construction is also the highest it has been since the early 2000s. 12,155 houses are programmed to be built over the next five years – an average of 2,430 houses per year. 3.10 Emerging from the recession, the delivery of new housing was helped by an increase in the building of affordable homes. Prior to the recession, affordable tenures accounted for around 17% of all houses built in the city but for the period 2011 to 2015, the proportion increased to nearly 50%. Over the last two years the number of affordable completions has remained high and along with the recovery of the market completions, the total completion rate is now back to the pre-recession level. 3.11 Delivery of new homes is not solely dependent on the supply of effective land. The housing market will react to both local and national changes in the economy causing completions rates to increase and decrease according to fluctuations in demand. 3.12 The housing supply target is the policy view of the number of homes that will be delivered over the LDP period to 2026. This is set by the SDP and its Supplementary Guidance, extended to 2026 by the LDP Report of Examination. To
Planning Committee – 3 October 2018 Page 5
ensure that the target can be met, additional land must be made available to allow for flexibility of range and choice. An additional 10% is added to the target to obtain the housing land requirement. 3.13 The five year completions programme, previously referred to as the five year effective land supply, is the anticipated number of houses to be delivered from the land supply of the following five year period. 3.14 The completions target 2018 to 2023 is the target number of new homes to be delivered over the next five years and is derived from the housing supply targets set by the SDP, accounting for completions that have already taken place. 3.15 The effective housing land supply and anticipated output from the supply are summarised, alongside the housing land requirement and five year output target, in Table 1 below.

* Previously referred to as the 5 year effective land supply 3.16 The table demonstrates that there is sufficient land, free from development constraints, to meet the remaining housing land requirement in the city. The table also demonstrates that anticipated output from the five year completions programme is more than sufficient to meet the five year completions target. 3.17 This is the first year since the SDP was approved and the housing supply targets set that there has been both a sufficient supply of effective land to meet the housing land requirement and a five year completions programme (previously referred to as the five year effective land supply) above the five year completions target. 3.18 At current build rates, based upon the agreed five year completions programme, there is sufficient effective housing land in Edinburgh to last for nine years. 3.19 Homes for Scotland are consulted during the preparation of the HLACP and they give their advice on the likely delivery rates for each site. As well as agreeing the likely output for each site, factors that could increase the delivery rates were also
Planning Committee – 3 October 2018 Page 6
agreed. The 2017 HLACP was the first audit to include an assessment of factors that could accelerate delivery and this approach has been continued for 2018. The factors are not intended to be viewed as solutions in themselves to increasing delivery, rather they should be viewed as identifying the steps that would need to be taken in order for the agreed delivery rates to be accelerated. In many cases, the site may already be being developed at an acceptable rate. Twelve different actions were identified and applied on an individual site by site basis. The 12 factors can be broadly grouped as; - factors relating to ownership or control of a site; - factors related to the planning system and other regulatory processes; and - factors related to the development industry 3.20 Chart 2 shows the numbers of units (excluding small sites) affected by each of the 12 delivery factors. For each factor, the graph shows the number of units programmed for completion within five years as light blue and units programmed beyond five years as dark blue. Constrained sites are not programmed at all and are shown on the graph as red. Chart 2. Factors affecting housing delivery
3.21 Sites categorised as affected by factors related to the development industry have a greater proportion of units programmed within the next five years than sites affected by other factors. These sites are already in the control of house builders with planning consent secured and in many cases, are already under construction. Most
Planning Committee – 3 October 2018 Page 7
of the completions programmed beyond 5 years relates to the last phases of large scale developments. 3.22 Sites affected by factors related to the planning system are fewer in number than those affected by development industry factors but, due to uncertainty around the issuing of planning permission/legal agreements, have a higher proportion of units programmed beyond the five year period. In total, there are 4,760 units programmed beyond the five year period on effective sites affected by factors related to the planning system. 3.23 Finally, there are around 4,170 units programmed beyond the five year period on effective sites affected by factors related to ownership or control. These are largely allocated sites that are not yet in the control of a house builder or sites for which a planning application has yet to be submitted. In addition, there are a further 7,370 units on constrained sites that are affected by ownership or control of the site. The majority of constrained sites are categorised as affected by ownership/control with only 830 constrained units categorised as being affected by other factors. Increasing Housing Delivery 3.24 On 24 August 2017, Council approved its five year business plan. The plan sets out an objective to build 20,000 new affordable homes in the city over the next ten years. The Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) sets out the delivery plan for new affordable homes and is approved by Housing and Economy Committee each year. Around half of the sites included in the SHIP are in the control of private sector landowners and developers. Delivery of affordable housing is, therefore, dependent upon private sector housing delivery and the Affordable Housing Policy. The housing supply target and the housing land requirement that are being monitored by this report are not split between tenures. These targets are discussed in paragraph 3.7. However, changes to Scottish Planning Policy since the approval of the first SDP will require future housing supply targets to be made separately for market and affordable housing. This is discussed in paragraphs 3.29 to 3.33 below. 3.25 Ownership/Control: 3.25.1 As part of the 2017 report, a long list of sites was identified for potential intervention by the council. This list was further considered and 12 sites with a total capacity of nearly 6,000 homes were identified as suitable for potential intervention through: 3.25.1.1 Engaging with owners to understand intentions and delays in sites being brought forward for housing development; 3.25.1.2 Working with house builders and RSLs to find ways to unlock development; and/or 3.25.1.3 Acquiring sites for housing development; including statutory intervention in cases where owners are unwilling to bring forward development.
Planning Committee – 3 October 2018 Page 8
3.25.2 This move towards a more interventionist approach was covered in the report ‘Delivering Land for Affordable Housing’ reported to Housing and Economy committee on 22 March 2018. Progress with delivering sites for affordable housing will be reported to Housing and Economy Committee in November 2018 as part of the annual report on the SHIP. 3.25.3 There are now fewer sites identified as requiring the submission of a proposal of application notice than last year with such notices having been submitted in some cases. With one exception, the sites remaining in this category are all council-owned and will be brought forward for development in due course. The owner of the remaining site has confirmed that it will be brought forward as part of a larger neighbouring development. Planning/Other Regulatory Systems 3.26 Some housing capacity is awaiting the determination of pending planning applications. This will always be the case for an audit carried out at a single point in time. The need to determine applications timeously is already well established, with identified targets and use of processing agreements to support efficiency. Of the nine sites (2,240 units) previously identified as awaiting determination of a planning application, seven sites accounting for 1,750 units have now been determined. Nevertheless, it is proposed that the appended HLACP analysis be provided to development management team managers to help identify where any issues may exist. 3.27 As last year, there is a significant amount of housing capacity that is the subject of minded to grant planning applications which are awaiting the conclusion of legal agreements. However, research has shown that this is mostly due to new applications rather than long delays in processing S75 agreements. Of the five sites identified as awaiting S75 resolution in 2017, only a single site (HSG 29: Brunstane) is still coded as such. It is proposed to continue to work towards meeting the six month target for processing legal agreements. Development Industry 3.28 Although anticipated completions of new homes are now sufficient to meet the target delivery rate, the analysis shows that there is still some scope for increased delivery. However, for the relevant sites, the time taken to commence development and the delivery rates of market housing are not unusual. It is not proposed to take action regarding these at this time. Any sites still awaiting commencement of development in next year's audit may need to be investigated further with the relevant parties. Future Housing Supply Targets 3.29 The second Strategic Development Plan (SDP) for South East Scotland was submitted to Scottish Ministers for examination in 27 June 2017. Once approved, it will set new housing supply targets for Edinburgh and the other SESplan council areas. The examination has now concluded and the Planning and Environmental Appeals Division (DPEA) of Scottish Government submitted its report of
Planning Committee – 3 October 2018 Page 9
Examination to Scottish Ministers on 20 June 2018. The report recommends a number of changes to the proposed plan, including amended housing supply targets. The target date for approval by Scottish Ministers is two months from the issue of the report of examination. 3.30 Unlike the current housing supply target which takes no account of tenure, the new targets, once approved, will set separate targets for market housing and affordable housing. Future HLACPs will monitor delivery of market housing and affordable housing against their respective targets separately. 3.31 Overall, the reporter’s recommendations increased the housing supply targets for the City of Edinburgh above the targets in the proposed plan. However, it is important to note that the period for which the targets are to apply was also increased. The proposed plan set targets for the period 2018 to 2030. In making the recommended changes, the reporter increased the total target but set the period for the targets to be 2012 to 2030 – six additional years. This was to ensure that all need and demand for new housing is met and any shortfall in delivery that may have occurred since 2012 (the base date of the need/demand estimate calculation) is accounted for. 3.32 Assuming that the reporter’s recommendations are accepted by ministers, the new housing supply targets for the City of Edinburgh beyond 2018 are set out in table 2 below. Table 2. Housing supply targets by tenure: 2018 to 2030 Market Affordable Total Housing Supply Target 2012 to 2030 (Reporter's recommendation) 17,892 28,944 46,836
Completions 2012 - 2018 (HLACP) 7,753 4,363 12,116 Annual average 1,292 727 2,019
Housing Supply Target 2018 - 2030 10,139 24,581 34,720 Annual average 845 2,048 2,893
3.33 The table demonstrates that should the reporter’s recommendations be accepted by ministers, further significant increases in delivery of new homes will be required in order to meet the targets, especially for affordable tenures. As noted at 3.24, delivery of affordable housing is dependent upon private developers bringing forward sites for development. Options for how the targets emerging from the second SDP can be met will be explored through the main issues report of the second local development plan, City Plan 2030. Conclusions 3.34 There is more than sufficient effective land available for development in the City for Edinburgh to meet the current housing land requirement set by the first SDP for the
Planning Committee – 3 October 2018 Page 10
periods 2009 to 2019, 2019 to 2024 and 2024 to 2026. New targets for 2030 will be set when the second SDP is approved. 3.35 For the first time since the current housing supply targets were set, the five year completions programme (previously referred to as the five year effective land supply) is above the five year completions target. 3.36 Delivery of new homes is affected by many economic and demand factors unrelated to the supply of effective land available for development. The council will continue to assess the adequacy of the land supply both in terms of the amount of land available for development and also in terms of the rate of delivery of new homes, seeking ways to increase it when necessary.
4. Measures of success
4.1 The statutory development plan and national planning policy are implemented, resulting in housing need being met without unnecessary adverse environmental, social and economic impacts. Infrastructure is used efficiently. Council programmes are fully aligned to achieve desired outcomes.
5. Financial impact
5.1 This report and its recommendations have no financial impact on service or Council budgets.
6. Risk, policy, compliance and governance impact
6.1 The HLACP is a strategic planning policy monitoring tool. The risks associated with this area of work are not considered significant in terms of finance, reputation and performance in relation to the statutory duties of the Council as Planning Authority, Roads Authority and Education Authority.
7. Equalities impact
7.1 There is no equalities impact arising as a result of this report’s analysis and recommendations. SESplan undertook an Equality and Rights Impact Assessment as part of the process of preparing the Edinburgh and South East Scotland SDP.

1. INTRODUCTION
The Housing Land Audit and Completions Programme (HLACP) 2018 is an assessment of the housing land supply in the City of Edinburgh Council area as at 31 March 2018. The audit attempts to programme expected housing completions over the audit period, 2018 to 2023 and details completions that took place over the year April 2017 to March 2018.
Sites included in the HLACP are housing sites under construction, sites with planning consent, sites in adopted or finalised Local Plans and, as appropriate, other buildings and land with agreed potential for housing development. All new housing development, redevelopment, conversions and subdivisions are included but rehabilitation of existing housing is excluded. The HLACP gives a detailed picture of the supply of housing land in terms of the number of housing units that it can accommodate. It also sets out a programme of expected completions over the next 5 years and in the longer term.
The HLACP comprises schedules for each housing site with four or more units. Smaller sites are not detailed individually but are included as an aggregate figure only. The estimates of programmed completions are prepared by the City of Edinburgh Council in consultation with Homes for Scotland, other private sector house builders, Housing Associations and public agencies. A summary of the housing land supply, site details including delivery programme, details of units completed over the previous 12 months and a list of constrained sites are contained in schedules 1 to 4 at the end of this report.
2. HOUSING LAND SUPPLY
Established Land Supply
The established land supply is all land identified for housing including sites allocated in the local development plan, sites which have been granted planning consent for housing and other land with agreed potential for new house building. The established land supply is made up of “effective housing land” - land free of all constraints that would prevent development taking place and “constrained” sites - sites which cannot be developed without some form of remedial action.
As at 31 March 2018, the established land supply in the City of Edinburgh Council area was 30,296. This included land free of all planning constraints for 22,153 houses and land for a further 8,143 houses on sites that are currently considered constrained.
Effective land supply
In order for a housing site to be considered effective, it must be free of all constraints that would prevent development. Sites are considered against a range of criteria set out in Planning Advice Note 2/2010 “Affordable Housing and Housing Land Audits” (PAN 2/2010). These criteria include ownership, physical (e.g. slope, aspect, stability, flood risk, access), contamination, deficit funding, marketability, infrastructure and land use.
When assessed against the criteria contained in PAN 2/2010, there is land free of planning constraints for 22,153 houses in the City of Edinburgh Council. This includes 6,445 houses on sites currently under construction, 9,863 houses on sites with planning consent but where development has not yet started and a further 5,545 houses on sites that have not yet received planning consent – mostly sites allocated in the Local Development Plan. The remaining 300 houses are on small sites that are not listed separately in the audit.
Figure 1 below shows how the established land supply in Edinburgh has changed over the last ten years. Prior to 2016, only units programmed for development over the first 5 years were considered to represent the effective land supply. Since 2016, the HLACP considers the supply of land separately from programmed delivery and defines land as either:
‘Effective’. Land free of development constraints and available for the construction of houses; and ‘Constrained.’ Land on which development cannot currently take place without remedial action.
The chart, therefore, shows three categories of land up to 2015 - the effective land supply programmed for development over the next five years, effective land supply programmed in the longer term and constrained land. From 2016, only two categories of land are shown – effective and constrained.
The five year effective land supply fell dramatically following the credit crunch in 2008/09. As reduced credit availability affected both the development industry and house buyers, the rate of development slowed, reducing the five-year programme of development intentions. Fewer new applications were submitted on windfall land, resulting in the reduction of the overall land supply as completions on land already partially developed, outstripped new land entering the supply. Between 2009 and 2012, the five-year effective supply fell to around 5,200 (1,050 per year) – around half the level of the previous three years. The effective land supply has been increasing in recent years and the allocation of new land in the local development plan for over 8,500 houses brought the effective land supply to the highest it has been for over 10 years with the exception of 2010. There was a large increase in land supply in 2010 caused by local plan allocation and an application for around 18,000 units at Leith Docks. As the consent was not issued, the site was moved from the long term effective supply into constrained in 2011. Following a change in Forth Ports’ intentions to concentrate on port-related activities and changes to the national and local planning policy context, a large part of the area around Leith Docks was removed from the housing land supply entirely in 2014, reducing the capacity from 18,000 to around 5,600. This has been reduced further in 2016 to 2,700 following the publication of the LDP report of examination.

30000 Constrained 25000 Long Term Effective 20000 5 Year Effective 15000 Effective (post 2015) 10000 5000 0
Constrained Land
Constrained sites are those on which development cannot take place without some form of remedial action. Such constraints include: • Ownership: the site is in the ownership or control of a party which can be expected to develop it or to release it for development. Where a site is in the ownership of a local authority or other public body, it should be included only where it is part of a programme of land disposal; • Physical: the site, or relevant part of it, is free from constraints related to slope, aspect, flood risk, ground stability or vehicular access which would preclude its development. Where there is a solid commitment to removing the constraints in time to allow development in the period under consideration, or the market is strong enough to fund the remedial work required, the site can be included in the effective land supply; • Contamination: previous use has not resulted in contamination of the site or, if it has, commitments have been made which would allow it to be developed to provide marketable housing; • Deficit funding: any public funding required to make residential development economically viable is committed by the public bodies concerned; • Marketability: the site, or a relevant part of it, can be developed in the period under consideration; • infrastructure: the site is either free of Infrastructure constraints, or any required infrastructure can be provided realistically by the developer or is committed to by another party to allow development; • Land use: housing is the preferred use of the land in planning terms, or if housing is one of a range of possible uses other factors such as ownership and marketability point to housing being a realistic option.
Map 1 below shows the land supply in terms of effective and constrained sites and a schedule of constrained sites, including the nature of constraint, is included as appendix 4.
Map 1. Housing Land Supply 2018
Greenfield / Brownfield analysis
10,045 units of the remaining capacity (21,960) of effective sites are categorised as being on greenfield land. This represents 46% of the total. The proportion of effective greenfield sites is the highest ever recorded. Ten years ago, less than 10% of the effective land supply was greenfield. The Local Development Plan allocated over 8,500 units on greenfield land and this has been a major factor in increasing the overall proportion of greenfield sites in the city.
3. HOUSING DELIVERY
Completions
Mirroring the situation with changes to the effective land supply, the effect of the credit crunch and subsequent recession was followed by a steep decline in the annual number of completed dwellings. There has been an increase in completions over the last 4 years and the rate is now almost back to the pre-recession high.
The recovery in the housing market is expected to continue and the number of completions over the next 5 years is expected to average 2,430 homes per year. The number of completions could actually be higher as there will likely be some additional housing completions on windfall sites. Figure 2 below charts historic housing completions and programmed completions for the next 5 years.

Factors Effecting Housing Delivery
Delivery of new homes is not solely dependent on the supply of effective land. The housing market will react to both local and national changes in the economy causing completions rates to increase and decrease. This was particularly noticeable following the credit crunch in the late 2000s. Reduced credit availability affected both purchasers’ ability to obtain a mortgage, thus vastly decreasing real demand for new homes and also developers’ ability to secure loans to enable development to take place. With no real change to the availability of effective housing land, delivery rates fell to less than half of previous rates. Figure 3 below shows the effective land supply, the five year completions programme (previously referred to as the five year effective land supply) and the number of completions that actually took place over the period 2003 to 2018. As the land supply and five year completions programme relate to a period of five years and the number of completions refers to a single year, they are shown against different scales on the chart.

5 Year completions programme Effective Actual completions
Affordable Housing
Affordable housing tenures account for 26% of the current established land supply (8,030 units). Whilst the remaining land supply reflects the 75/25 split intended by the affordable housing policy, historical completion rates have varied. Between 2001 and 2011, affordable tenures accounted for 19% of all dwellings completed in Edinburgh. Over the last few years, affordable completions have accounted for a much higher proportion, averaging over 38% of all houses completed since 2011. Numerically, affordable housing completions have increased in recent years but the large proportional shift is more a consequence of a reduction in market completions. The number of market completions has increased markedly over the last two years, from 890 in 2014/15 to 1,651 in 2016/17 and 1,927 in 2017/18.
Accuracy of Completions Programme
Estimating future completions for the delivery programme is not an exact science – some sites will be built out faster than anticipated and some slower. Further, some sites may not be developed at all or be developed for uses other than housing and additional windfall sites will provide completions not anticipated at the base date of the audit. Figure 3 below compares the number of completions programmed for the following five year period to the number of completions that actually occurred for each audit year since 1995.

During the mid 1990s to early 2000s, far fewer units were programmed than the number of completions that actually took place. This may be due to development taking place at a faster pace with many windfall sites gaining consent and being built out in the five year period in question. From 2003 until 2008, the audit programme was much closer to actual completions. The programme was actually slightly higher than actual completions, the difference increasing up to 2008. This period of time included the credit crunch which caused a steep decline in completions which wasn’t anticipated when the audits were programmed. The opposite effect can be seen for 2009 and 2010 when anticipated completions were low, but as recent completion rates have started to increase once more, the five year completions count is higher than was anticipated at the base date of the audits. It should also be noted that the only land allocated for housing at any given year is programmed in the above figures – the actual completions figures will include additional windfall sites that come forward in future years.
4. HOUSING SUPPLY TARGET AND HOUSING LAND REQUIREMENT
SPP defines the Housing Supply Target as “a policy view of the number of homes the authority has agreed will be delivered in each housing market area over the periods of the development plan and local housing strategy, taking into account wider economic, social and environmental factors, issues of capacity, resource and deliverability, and other important requirements ...”
The housing supply target for the City of Edinburgh is set by the approved 2013 Strategic Development Plan (SDP) and its supplementary guidance on housing land (SG). The SG sets the housing supply target for the city at 22,300 units for the period to 2019 and a further 7,210 for the period to 2024. The LDP Report of Examination recommended extending the supply target by an additional 2,884 for the two years to 2026. To ensure that the target can be met, additional land must be made available to allow for flexibility of range and choice. An additional 10% is added to the target to obtain the housing land requirement. The annual average supply target for the period up to 2019 is considerably higher than for the periods beyond 2019. This is due to two factors:
• The Housing Needs and Demand Study identified a significant backlog of households currently in need of affordable housing which should be addressed early. This backlog is on top of newly arising need and demand and is all added to the housing land requirement of the first period. • House building during the first period has been affected by the credit crunch and subsequent recession resulting in lower completion rates than required. The shortfall is added to the remaining requirement of the first period raising the annual average needed even further, to a level nearly 15% above the highs achieved in the early 2000s.
Table 1 below compares the supply of effective land available for housing in the City of Edinburgh to the remaining housing supply target. The table also shows the 5 year delivery programme compared to the output target for the next 5 years.
Table 1: Effective housing land supply against requirement by period
Housing Supply Target 2009 to 2019 22,300 Housing supply Target 2019 to 2024 7,210 Housing Supply Target 2024 to 2026 2,884 Completions 2009 to 2018 16,589
Housing Supply Target 2018 to 2026 15,805 Land Supply Delivery Output
Housing Land Requirement Supply Target 2018 to 2023 17,386 11,479
Effective Housing Land Supply 5 year completions programme 2018 to 2023* 22,153 12,155
* Previously referred to as the 5 year effective land supply
The table demonstrates that there is sufficient land, free from development constraints, to meet the housing land requirement in the City. The table further demonstrates that there is also more than sufficient housing units programmed for development over the next five years to meet the five year delivery target.
Increasing Housing Delivery
Further to identifying constraints that prevent delivery of new homes, HLACP2018 also attempts to identify the actions that would be required to increase the delivery rates on effective sites. These factors affecting delivery were discussed and agreed with Homes for Scotland alongside the programmed delivery rate. These factors are not intended to be viewed as solutions in themselves to increasing delivery, rather they should be viewed as identifying the steps that would need to be taken in order for the agreed delivery rates to be accelerated. In many cases, the site may already be being developed at an acceptable rate.12 different actions were identified and applied on an individual site by site basis. The 12 factors can be broadly grouped as; • factors relating to ownership or control of a site • factors related to the planning system • factors related to the development industry
Figure 4 below shows the numbers of units (excluding small sites) affected by each of the 12 delivery factors. For each factor, the graph shows the number of units programmed for completion within 5 years as a lighter shade and units programmed beyond 5 years as a darker shade.
Figure 4. Factors affecting the delivery of homes
Sites categorised as affected by factors related to the development industry have a greater proportion of units programmed within the next 5 years than sites affected by other factors. These sites are already in the control of house builders with planning consent secured and in many cases, are already under construction.
Sites affected by factors related to the planning system are fewer in number than those affected by development industry factors but, due to uncertainty around the issuing of planning permission/legal agreements, have a higher proportion of units programmed beyond the five year period. In total, there are 4,760 units programmed beyond the five year period on effective sites affected by factors related to the planning system.
Finally, there are around 4,170 units programmed beyond the five year period on effective sites affected by factors related to ownership or control. These are largely allocated sites that are not yet in the control of a house builder or sites for which a planning application has yet to be submitted. The majority of constrained sites are constrained by factors relating to ownership or control of the site, especially sites that are still in use for other uses and sites that are not being promoted for housing development by the land owner.

Executive Summary
The Committee agreed that an independent daylight impact assessment be undertaken for the Central Library to provide information on the potential daylight levels impact of the Cowgate development. Malcolm Hollis Independent Building Consultants were instructed to undertake this work and have completed a report highlighting the impacts and some recommendations for mitigation.
Report
Daylight impact assessment Central Library
1. Recommendations
1.1 That the Education, Children and Families committee; 1.1.1 note the findings of the daylight impact assessment.
2. Background
2.1 A proposed development adjacent to Central Library (as detailed in planning application15/04445/FUL) is for a mixed-use scheme including a hotel, gym and retail units. The development site includes what is currently India Buildings on Victoria Street and an undeveloped gap site situated between the Library and Cowgate Free Church. 2.2 At the Education, Children and Families committee on Tuesday 6 March 2018, there was a motion by Councillor Claire Miller on the Central Library Daylight Impact Assessment.
Committee: Notes that the planned development of the Cowgate gap site to the rear of the Central Library may affect daylight enjoyed by library staff and users.
Calls for an independent daylight impact assessment report for the Central Library in one cycle, including but not limited to, recommendations on how to maintain lighting levels in the library. 2.3 Malcolm Hollis independent building consultants was instructed by the Council to determine the impact on the lighting amenity of Central Library arising from the adjacent development.
3. Main report
3.1 The proposed adjacent development is detailed in the planning application 15/04445/FUL and is for a mixed-use scheme including a hotel, gym and retail units. The development site includes what is currently India Buildings on Victoria Street and an undeveloped gap site situated between the Library and Cowgate Free Church. 3.2 Malcolm Hollis Independent Building Consultants assessed current and estimated post-development lighting levels on the library ground Floor (from George IV Bridge) and the floors below this: Level B1/B2 (the mezzanine floor and adjacent
Education, Children, and Families Committee – 14 August 2018 Page 2
music room); B3 housing the Edinburgh & Scottish collections; B4 which houses the Resources team; B5 which is level with the Cowgate. 3.3 The report concludes that four of the levels assessed are not compliant with Building Research Establishment (BRE) guidelines in terms of maintaining daylight to existing buildings. This is because the reduction in daylight is over 20% from the current baseline position and will therefore be materially noticeable to occupants Level GF Library: The reduction in daylight with the proposed development in place is 8%. This is BRE compliant as the reduction will not be materially noticeable to occupants. They note that the existing Average Daylight Factor (ADF) level is less than it would ideally be at 1.9% and so supplementary electric lighting is likely to be required.
Level B1/B2: The reduction in daylight with the proposed development in place is 22% and therefore not BRE compliant, albeit the level of non-compliance is marginal. The existing level of daylight is relatively low at 0.97% and supplementary electric lighting is required in the existing and the proposed condition.
Level B3: The reduction in daylight with the proposed development in place is 31% and therefore not BRE compliant because the reduction will be noticeable to occupants. The existing level of daylighting is good and despite the reduction post development, the absolute level of daylight will be in excess of 2%.
Level B4: The reduction in daylight with the proposed development in place is very high at 82% and therefore not BRE compliant. The existing level of daylight is relatively poor at 0.65% and supplementary electric lighting is required in the existing and the proposed condition, albeit this space will be very gloomy post development.
Level B5: The proposed development will limit all daylight and is therefore not BRE compliant. However the existing level of daylight to this area is very poor at 0.18% and therefore even limited development will have a significant impact.
(Malcolm Hollis report, 3 May 2018, p.7)
3.4 They note that current daylight conditions to four of the non-compliant areas is currently below optimal. 3.5 In terms of recommendations on how to maintain lighting levels in the library, they note that there is no specific threshold for daylight to libraries in the Edinburgh Design Guide (2017). “The Building Research Establishment (BRE) Guide and British Standard 8206 – 2: 2008 advise that:
If electric lighting is not normally to be used during daytime, the Average Daylight Factor (ADF) should be not less than 5%. An ADF of 5% will provide a well daylit space.
If electric lighting is to be used during daytime, the ADF should be not less than 2%. Education, Children, and Families Committee – 14 August 2018 Page 3
An ADF of 2% will provide a partially daylit space. If the ADF is below 2% the room will look dull and electric lighting is likely to be turned on”. Malcolm Hollis report, paragraph 3.1.4 p.6. 3.5 They note that it would be possible to introduce measures to mitigate the loss of daylight and improve daylight received to the Library, post development.
3.6 The principal recommended mitigation measure would be to maximise reflected daylight. This would be achieved by ensuring that the materials to the façade of the proposed development were of a light colour or that a reflective material was specified. This will increase reflected light into the Library; and the impact of this can be measured subject to confirmation of the surface finishes to the proposed development.
4. Measures of success
4.1 That customers and staff report that the loss in daylight is sufficiently mitigated through improved electric lighting and light colour or reflective materials on the building façade of the proposed development .
5. Financial impact
5.1 Potential for increased energy costs to support additional lighting.
6. Risk, policy, compliance and governance impact
6.1 There is no identified risk.
7. Equalities impact
7.1 Some people have a sensitivity to the high frequency sound waves generated by some neon light starter motors. Any additional lighting should take this into consideration as far as possible. 7.2 It will be essential in providing additional lighting that this creates optimum conditions for reading print and digital information.
8. Sustainability impact
8.1 There are likely to be increased energy costs in providing additional lighting.
Education, Children, and Families Committee – 14 August 2018 Page 4
9. Consultation and engagement
9.1 It may be possible to carry out a consultation with customers as to the design and type of lighting preferred although this may not be wholly practicable. There would need to be engagement with customers during the development to advise them of the changes and ensure that impact on daylight is adequately mitigated through additional electric lighting.

1. Executive Summary
1.1 Scope
1.1.1 We have been instructed by City of Edinburgh Council to determine the impact on the daylight amenity of Edinburgh Central Library, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh EH1 1EG which may arise from an adjacent development.
1.2 Assessment Criteria
1.2.1 To ensure that this assessment can be appropriately evaluated against Edinburgh City Council’s planning policy, daylight and sunlight calculations have been undertaken in accordance with following documents:
Edinburgh Design Guidance (published 2017). Building Research Establishment Report ‘Site Layout Planning for Daylight and Sunlight – A Guide to Good Practice’ 2nd Edition, 2011(the “BRE guide”). British Standard 8206 – 2: 2008 – ‘Lighting for Buildings – Part 2: Code of Practice for Daylighting’.
1.3 Summary of Effect of Proposed Development on Edinburgh Central Library
1.3.1 A daylight assessment has been undertaken to three library areas and two office areas.
1.3.2 Four out of the five areas assessed are not compliant with BRE guidelines in terms of maintaining daylight to existing buildings. This is because the reduction in daylight is over 20% with the proposed development in place. This level of reduction is noticeable to occupants.
1.3.3 It should be noted that existing daylight conditions to three of the non-compliant areas is currently below optimal levels and that supplementary electric lighting is required during daytime. The proposed development will further reduce daylight.
1.3.4 It would be possible to mitigate the impact of the proposed development on daylight to the Library through the use of appropriate building materials to the façade of the proposed development. This is discussed at section 3 below.
Daylight Report 2 Ref. 67407/BTM/SJK Edinburgh Central Library, George IV Bridge, 03 May 2018 Edinburgh EH1 1EG
2. Introduction
2.1 Scope
2.1.1 We have been instructed by City of Edinburgh Council to determine the impact on the daylight amenity of Edinburgh Central Library, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1EG which may arise from an adjacent development.
2.1.2 The proposed adjacent development is detailed in planning application 15/04445/FUL and is for a mixed use scheme including a hotel, gym and retail units. The development site includes what is currently India Buildings on Victoria Street and also an undeveloped gap site situated between the Library and Cowgate Free Church.
2.2 Assessment Criteria
2.2.1 To ensure that this assessment can be appropriately evaluated against Edinburgh City Council’s policy; daylight and sunlight calculations have been undertaken in accordance with following documents:
Edinburgh Design Guidance (published 2017). Building Research Establishment Report ‘Site Layout Planning for Daylight and Sunlight – A Guide to Good Practice’ 2nd Edition, 2011(the “BRE guide”). British Standard 8206 – 2: 2008 – ‘Lighting for Buildings – Part 2: Code of Practice for Daylighting’.
2.2.2 We note that Edinburgh City Council’s planning policy and the Edinburgh Design Guidance are principally concerned with residential daylight amenity and not daylight to offices, shops and other commercial or administrative uses.
2.2.3 The standards and tests applied are briefly described in Appendix A.
2.2.4 Average Daylight Factor (ADF) assessments have been undertaken. The Edinburgh Design Guide sets out the variables that are to be used for these assessments, which are:
Daylight to existing buildings (ADF calculation) variables
Transmittance of double glazing - 0.65 Correction factor for dirt, curtains etc. - 0.9 Net to gross area of window - 0.7 Average reflectance of room surfaces - 0.5
2.2.5 These values have been used in this assessment, except that all the Library windows assessed are single glazed. Therefore a value of 0.8 has been used for transmittance, in accordance with British Standard 8206 – 2: 2008.
2.2.6 The baseline for the daylight assessment is the topography and layout of the site as it currently is. The assessment calculates daylight received in the baseline condition and compares this to daylight received with the proposed development in place. The results of the assessment have been reviewed in accordance with the criteria of the Edinburgh Design Guidance and the BRE Guide.

3.1.3 Average Daylight Factor (ADF) assessments have been undertaken to the areas detailed above.
3.1.4 There is no specific threshold for daylight to libraries in the Edinburgh Design Guide; and more generally there is no UK wide standard for daylight to libraries. However the BRE Guide and British Standard 8206 – 2: 2008 advise that:
If electric lighting is not normally to be used during daytime, the ADF should be not less than 5%. An ADF of 5% will provide a well daylit space. If electric lighting is to be used during daytime, the ADF should be not less than 2%. An ADF of 2% will provide a partially daylit space. If the ADF is below 2% the room will look dull and electric lighting is likely to be turned on.
3.1.5 In this assessment the impact on existing daylight levels is being assessed, rather than the absolute level of daylight. In line with the BRE guide, a reduction is daylight is not materially noticeable to occupants if it is less than 20%. Therefore if the daylight level to an area is 80% or more of its former value with the proposed development in place, then this is deemed to be compliant with the BRE guide and City of Edinburgh Council planning policy.
3.1.6 The full ADF test results are shown in full in Appendix D. Below is a summary of our findings:

3.1.7 We comment as follows:
Level GF Library: The reduction in daylight with the proposed development in place is 8%. This is BRE compliant as the reduction will not be materially noticeable to occupants. We note that the existing ADF level is less than it would ideally be at 1.9% and so supplementary electric lighting is likely to be required. Level B1/B2: The reduction in daylight with the proposed development in place is 22% and therefore not BRE compliant, albeit the level of non-compliance is marginal. The existing level of daylight is relatively low at 0.97% and supplementary electric lighting is required in the existing and the proposed condition. Level B3: The reduction in daylight with the proposed development in place is 31% and therefore not BRE compliant because the reduction will be noticeable to occupants. The existing level of daylighting is good and despite the reduction post development, the absolute level of daylight will be in excess of 2%. This is considered to be appropriate for library use. Level B4: The reduction in daylight with the proposed development in place is very high at 82% and therefore not BRE compliant. The existing level of daylight is relatively poor at 0.65% and supplementary electric lighting is required in the existing and the proposed condition, albeit this space will be very gloomy post development. Level B5: The proposed development will limit all daylight and is therefore not BRE compliant. However the existing level of daylight to this area is very poor at 0.18% and therefore even limited development will have a significant impact.
3.1.8 In summary, four out of the five areas assessed are not compliant with BRE guidelines in terms of maintaining daylight to existing buildings. This is because the reduction in daylight is over 20% from the current baseline position; and will therefore be materially noticeable to occupants.
3.1.9 It should be noted that current daylight conditions to three of the non-compliant areas is currently below optimal levels and that supplementary electric lighting is already required during daytime.
3.1.10 It would be possible to introduce measures to mitigate the loss of daylight and improve daylight received to the Library, post development.
3.1.11 The principal recommended mitigation measure would be to maximise reflected daylight. This would be achieved by ensuring that the materials to the façade of the proposed development were of a light colour or that a reflective material was specified. This will increase reflected light into the Library; and the impact of this can be measured subject to confirmation of the surface finishes to the proposed development.

Appendix A
Tests to be Applied
Introduction
The main purpose of the guidelines in the Building Research Establishment Report “Site Layout Planning for Daylight and Sunlight – a guide to good practice 2011, 2nd Edition” (“the BRE guide”) is to assist in the consideration of the relationship of new and existing buildings to ensure that each retains a potential to achieve good daylighting and sunlighting levels. That is, by following and satisfying the tests contained in the guidelines, new and existing buildings should be sufficiently spaced apart in relation to their relative heights so that both have the potential to achieve good levels of daylight and sunlight. The guidelines have been drafted primarily for use with low density suburban developments and should therefore be used flexibly when dealing with dense urban sites and extensions to existing buildings, a fact recognised by the BRE Report’s author in the Introduction where Dr Paul Littlefair says:
‘The Guide is intended for building designers and their clients, consultants and planning officials. The advice given here is not mandatory and the guide should not been seen as an instrument of planning policy; its aim is to help rather than constrain the designer. Although it gives numerical guidelines, these should be interpreted flexibly since natural lighting is only one of many factors in site layout design…… In special circumstances the developer or planning authority may wish to use different target values. For example, in a historic city centre, or in an area with modern high rise buildings, a higher degree of obstruction may be unavoidable if new developments are to match the height and proportions of existing buildings…..’
In many cases in low-rise housing, meeting the criteria for daylight and sunlight may mean that the BRE criteria for other amenity considerations such as privacy and sense of enclosure are also satisfied.
The BRE guide states that recommended minimum privacy distances (in cases where windows of habitable rooms face each other in low-rise residential property), as defined by each individual Local Authority’s policies, vary widely, from 18-35m1. For two-storey properties a spacing within this range would almost certainly also satisfy the BRE guide’s daylighting requirements as it complies with the 250 rule and will almost certainly satisfy the ‘Three times height’ test too (as discussed more fully below). However, the specific context of each development will be taken into account and Local Authorities may relax the stated minimum, for instance, in built-up areas where this would lead to an inefficient use of land. Conversely, greater distances may be required between higher buildings, in order to satisfy daylighting and sunlighting requirements. It is important to recognize also that privacy can also be achieved by other means: design, orientation and screening can all play a key role and may also contribute towards reducing the theoretical ‘minimum’ distance.
A sense of enclosure is also important as the perceived quality of an outdoor space may be reduced if it is too large in the context of the surrounding buildings. In urban settings the BRE guide suggests a spacing-to-height ratio of 2.5:1 would provide a comfortable environment, whilst not obstructing too much natural light: this ratio also approximates the 250 rule.
1 The commonest minimum privacy distance is 21m (Householder Development Consents Review: Implementation of Recommendations – Department for Communities and Local Government – May 2007)
Daylight
The criteria for protecting daylight to existing buildings are contained in Section 2.2 and Appendix C of the BRE guide. There are various methods of measuring and assessing daylight and the choice of test depends on the circumstances of each particular window. For example, greater protection should be afforded to windows which serve habitable dwellings and, in particular, those serving living rooms and family kitchens, with a lower requirement required for bedrooms. The BRE guide states that circulation spaces and bathrooms need not be tested as they are not considered to require good levels of daylight. In addition, for rooms with more than one window, secondary windows do not require assessment if it is established that the room is already sufficiently lit through the principal window.
The tests should also be applied to non-domestic uses such as offices and workplaces where such uses will ordinarily have a reasonable expectation of daylight and where the areas may be considered a principal workplace.
The BRE has developed a series of tests to determine whether daylighting levels within new developments and rooms within existing buildings surrounding new developments will satisfy or continue to satisfy a range of daylighting criteria
Note: Not every single window is assessed separately, only a representative sample, from which conclusions may be drawn regarding other nearby dwellings.
Daylighting Tests
‘Three times height’ test - If the distance of each part of the new development from the existing windows is three or more times its height above the centre of the existing window then loss of light to the existing windows need not be analysed. If the proposed development is taller or closer than this then the 250 test will need to be carried out.
250 test – a very simple test that should only be used where the proposed development is of a reasonably uniform profile and is directly opposite the existing building. Its use is most appropriate for low density well-spaced developments such as new sub-urban housing schemes and often it is not a particularly useful tool for assessing urban and in-fill sites. In brief, where the new development subtends to an angle of less than 250 to the centre of the lowest window of an existing neighbouring building, it is unlikely to have a substantial effect on the diffuse skylight enjoyed by the existing building. Equally, the new development itself is also likely to have the potential for good daylighting. If the angle is more than 250 then more detailed tests are required, as outlined below.
VSC Test - the VSC is a unit of measurement that represents the amount of available daylight from the sky, received at a particular window. It is measured on the outside face of the window. The ‘unit’ is expressed as a percentage as it is the ratio between the amount of sky visible at the given reference point compared to the amount of light that would be available from a totally unobstructed hemisphere of sky. To put this unit of measurement into perspective, the maximum percentage value for a window with a completely unobstructed outlook (i.e. with a totally unobstructed view through 90o in every direction) is 40%.
The target figure for VSC recommended by the BRE is 27%. A VSC of 27% is a relatively good level of daylight and the level we would expect to find for habitable rooms with windows on principal elevations. However, this level is often difficult to achieve on secondary elevations and in built-up urban environments. For comparison, a window receiving 27% VSC is approximately equivalent to a window that would have a continuous obstruction opposite it which subtends an angle of 25o (i.e. the same results as would be found utilising the 250 Test).
Where tests show that the new development itself meets the 27% VSC target this is a good indication that the development will enjoy good daylighting and further tests can then be carried out to corroborate this (see under).
Through research the BRE have determined that in existing buildings daylight (and sunlight levels) can be reduced by approximately 20% of their original value before the loss is materially noticeable. It is for this reason that they consider that a 20% reduction is permissible in circumstances where the existing VSC value is below the 27% threshold. For existing buildings once this has been established it is then necessary to determine whether the distribution of daylight inside each room meets the required standards (see under).
Daylight Distribution (DD) Test – This test looks at the position of the “No-Sky Line” (NSL) – that is, the line that divides the points on the working plane (0.7m from floor level in offices and 0.85m in dwellings and industrial spaces) which can and cannot see the sky. The BRE guide suggests that areas beyond the NSL may look dark and gloomy compared with the rest of the room and BS8206 states that electric lighting is likely to be needed if a significant part of the working plane (normally no more than 20%) lies beyond it.
In new developments no more than 20% of a room’s area should be beyond the NSL. For existing buildings the BRE guide states that if, following the construction of a new development, the NSL moves so that the area beyond the NSL increases by more than 20%, then daylighting is likely to be seriously affected.
The guide suggests that in houses, living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens should be tested: bedrooms are deemed less important, although should nevertheless be analysed. In other buildings each main room where daylight is expected should be investigated.
ADF Test –The ADF (Average Daylight Factor) test takes account of the interior dimensions and surface reflectance within the room being tested as well as the amount of sky visible from the window. For this reason it is considered a more detailed and representative measure of the adequacy of light. The minimum ADF values recommended in BS8206 Part 2 are: 2% for family kitchens (and rooms containing kitchens); 1.5% for living rooms; and 1% for bedrooms. This is a test used in assessing new developments, although, in certain circumstances, it may be used as a supplementary test in the assessment of daylighting in existing buildings, particularly where more than one window serves a room.
Room depth ratio test - This is a test for new developments looking at the relative dimensions of each room (principally its depth) and its window(s) to ensure that the rear half of a room will receive sufficient daylight so as not to appear gloomy.
