North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan 2011 - 2032 Pre-Submission Consultation Draft (July 2017) North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan 2011 - 2032 Pre-submission Consultation Draft (July 2017) NORTH NORTHUMBERLAND COAST NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2011 -2031 Pre-submission Consultation Draft - July 2017 [July 2017) 1 North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan 2011 - 2032 Pre-submission Consultation Draft (July 2017) FOREWORD This area is special because of the natural beauty and isolation of the landscape combined with our cultural history. But over the last few years it has been damaged by unsuitable development that in many cases has been in conflict with, rather than responding to, these characteristics. It is crucial that further development does not do further damage. These characteristics drive the economy of the area as well as deserving protection in their own right. The area also faces the problems resulting from the success of the visitor economy: house prices are high and many jobs are seasonal. These factors are why the three parish councils of North Sunderland, Bamburgh and Beadnell have come together to develop this draft neighbourhood plan. Although Northumberland County Council’s emerging local plan does provide some guidance for this area, we believe that we should set out specific planning policies and aspirations. Things don’t stand still: further development will come to the area, and it is important for the economy and the residents that it does so. But it is also important that development matches the aspirations of those of us who live here. The area faces some contentious current and potential planning applications. This plan is of necessity neutral on individual applications but sets out principles of good design which respect the neighbourhood. They will not have planning weight unless the plan is adopted but we hope future applications take the principles into account. This pre-submission draft plan has been based on consultation with residents, businesses and other stakeholders. This is your chance to contribute to and comment on a complete draft. I hope you take advantage of this opportunity – and note that comments in support of any aspects are just as important as suggested changes. Once this stage is complete and by the end of September 2017, we will start the formal consultation process with the County Council.

The three Parishes of Bamburgh, Seahouses and North Sunderland and Beadnell decided to produce a joint Neighbourhood Plan covering all three Parishes. MaP 1: The Neighbourhood Area [July 2017) 4 North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan 2011 - 2032 Pre-submission Consultation Draft (July 2017) The North Northumberland Coastal Area Neighbourhood Area, designated for the purposes of 61G(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, comprises the three Civil Parishes of North Sunderland, Bamburgh and Beadnell. Northumberland County Council formally designated the three Parishes as a Neighbourhood Area on 18th February 2014. The Neighbourhood Plan relates only to these Parishes, and to no other Neighbourhood Areas and is the only Neighbourhood Development Plan in the designated area. The Plan has been prepared by a steering group comprising members of all three Parish Councils, and supported by neighbourhood representatives, with input from Northumberland County Council and other consultees. This consultation (Regulation 14 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012) is a statutory 6 week consultation which will take place between 18th July 2017 and 1st September 2017. This consultation also includes a consultation on the Environmental Report produced in relation to the Strategic Environmental Assessment of the North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan, and the Habitats Regulations Assessment Report of the North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan. The pre-submission consultation draft plan incorporates a number of recommendations made in the Habitats Regulations Assessment Report1. The consultation includes a number of 'open days' consisting of an initial 'launch' in Seahouses, followed by events in Bamburgh and Beadnell, where people will have an opportunity to look at maps and plans for the area, and comment on policies proposed in the Neighbourhood Plan. Why have a Plan for the North Northumberland Coast? The three parishes have some of the highest second home ownership in the country and average house prices are almost twice that of the rest of north Northumberland. The Neighbourhood Plan provides a platform for community led planning allowing issues that are important to the community to be addressed, including delivery of housing for people to live permanently in the local community; employment and business development; as well as the protection of the special local environment, much of which is within the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). With so much emphasis on the tourist economy, the community want to see a re- balance in how this area develops, with a focus on three key themes: 'people', 'place' and 'prosperity'. The North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan (hereafter referred to as “the Plan”) has locally specific planning policies which will provide clear guidance as to what kind of development will and will not be supported. It also defines settlement boundaries for each of the settlements in the Neighbourhood Area and identifies sites to be designated as 'Local Green Space'. The Plan policies seek to ensure that new housing development contributes to sustainable communities, by ensuring that it is for permanent occupation only (known as 'principal occupancy' housing), to 1 Report to inform the Habitat Regulations Assessment of the North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan [AECOM] May 2017. [July 2017) 5 North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan 2011 - 2032 Pre-submission Consultation Draft (July 2017) redress the imbalance between permanent housing and second homes, and re-vitalise local communities. The Plan will also contain a series of ‘Community Projects’ which will cover those issues raised by the community which cannot be dealt with through town planning policies. These are non-land use proposals which are listed in Chapter 4 of the Plan, and will be brought forward by the relevant Parish Councils. What evidence are we using to prepare the Plan? First of all, the community were consulted about what issues were important to them. A multitude of other evidence has been used to support our policies, and a list of this evidence is included in Appendix B. All these documents, as well as the results of the public consultation, form the Evidence Base for the Plan. What consultation has taken Place? The Steering Group has engaged throughout the process with the local community, through consultation events, questionnaires and newsletters, and have consulted with both local residents and local businesses and other local groups and organisations. The results of that consultation have led the Steering Group to produce a Neighbourhood Plan that contains policies that seek to steer development in the way that local people want. More detail on the consultation undertaken is provided in the Community Consultation Statement which will be submitted with the Plan for examination. What haPPens next? Consultation on this pre-submission draft Plan is your chance to influence the final version of the Plan before the Plan is submitted to Northumberland County Council. The Parish Councils would like to invite written comments on all aspects of the Plan. All responses must be made by 1st September 2017. Background supporting documents, the Habitats Regulations Assessment and a copy of the Environmental Report2, as well as this version of the Neighbourhood Plan are available on the Parish Council websites: www.northsunderlandparishcouncil.co.uk/parish www.beadnell.parishcouncil.co.uk www.bamburgh.org.uk 2 Being consulted on in accordance with the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 [July 2017) 6 North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan 2011 - 2032 Pre-submission Consultation Draft (July 2017) A printed copy of the Plan and the Policies Map can be viewed at the following locations – Seahouses Sports and Community Centre Beadnell WI Bamburgh Pavilion Reponses to the consultation can be emailed to the following address: [email protected] Postal responses should be sent to: The Hub, Seahouses Development Trust, Stone Close, Seahouses, Northumberland NE68

    Berwick-upon-Tweed Borough Council Election Results 1973-2007 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

    Seahouses Westfield Double Ditched Enclosure Cropmark Local List Code: SE3001 (ARCH) ​ ​ HER Site Name: Westfield double ditched enclosure cropmark HER Number: 5904 OS Location: NU2066131974 Description: Cropmarks of a double ditched oval enclosure, possibly a defended site, recorded from the air in 1977 at NU206320. The features comprise a nearly circular ditched enclosure, about 82m across, the ditch being about 10m wide. Placed concentrically within this is a second enclosure, 52m across, indicated by what appears to be a palisade slot. A further concentric palisade slot has also been identified outside the main ditch on the N, but probably continued all the way around. There is an entrance through the inner and the outer ditch on the SE side and outside this two further, short lengths of palisade slot define a forecourt area. Traces of a further ditched feature at this entrance possibly provided additional defensive strength at the entrance. Another potential entrance is visible to the W. The site is undated but morphological parallels suggest a date in the early part of the first millennium BC, making the site Bronze Age, though other sources suggest that the site could be Iron Age. Criteria for inclusion: ● 4e - Archaeological Merit: Area of high archaeological potential Broad Road Crop Mark Enclosure Local List Code: SE3002 (ARCH) ​ ​ HER Site Name: Broad Road crop mark enclosure HER Number: 5906 OS Location: NU2110031900 Description: Crop marks variously described as an irregularly oval or sub-rectangular ditched enclosure, potentially a farmstead, measuring 76m by 55m.
