i West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Government has introduced a new planning system called Local Development Frameworks (LDFs) under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 which will see the gradual replacement of the Local Plan system over the coming years. In the context of the new planning system, with its focus on the delivery of sustainable development and sustainable communities, monitoring takes on an added importance in providing a check on whether those aims are being achieved.
The 2004 Act introduced mandatory Annual Monitoring Reports and it became a legal requirement for Local Authorities to produce an Annual Monitoring Report every year from 2005 onwards. This is the fifth Annual Monitoring Report to be produced by the Council. The report covers the period 1st April 2008 to 31st March 2009 and must be submitted to the Secretary of State no later than the 31st December 2009. Submission of the Annual Monitoring Report to the Secretary of State by the end of the calendar year fulfils not only a statutory requirement but also meets a Best Value Target BV200c.
The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) is part of the Local Development Framework portfolio and plays a crucial role in assessing the targets and milestones set out in the Local Development Scheme for the production of the West Lindsey Local Development Framework. However, the 2008/09 Annual Monitoring Report will concentrate on the implementation of the existing, or ‘saved’ policies that are set out in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review 2006.
This AMR will be used to identify the key challenges and opportunities facing the District and will enable appropriate policy adjustments and revisions to be made. This reflects the Government’s concept of ‘plan, monitor, and manage’, whereby the findings of monitoring feed directly into any review of policy that may be required, giving Local Authorities greater ownership of their planning policies. However, monitoring may indicate the need to address other aspects beyond reviewing the policies set out in the Local Development Framework (or contained in the current Local Plan). For example, it may indicate the need to refine or extend the monitoring framework itself or propose actions in respect to related local strategies and initiatives (e.g. Community Strategies).
The Government White Paper Strong and Prosperous Communities published in October 2007 outlined a new set of indicators that would be introduced, replacing all other Best Value Indicators and Performance Assessment Framework indicators currently in place. These streamline the number of previous indicators and better reflect national priority outcomes for Local Authorities. The new National Indicators came into effect on April 1st 2008, along with an updated set of Core Output Indicators for Annual Monitoring Reports.
During this monitoring period significant progress was made on the formation of a new planning unit for the area known as Central Lincolnshire. This mirrors the partner members of the Central Lincolnshire Housing Market Area (HMA) and comprises the Districts of West Lindsey, North Kesteven and the City of Lincoln. This move is in line with recommendations set out in the Regional Plan (March 2009) and a number of evidence base projects now underway are being completed jointly.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS AMR
Adoption The final confirmation of a development plan or Local Development Document having statutory status by a Local Planning Authority.
Annual Housing Supply Assessment (AHSA) An annual survey is conducted every year to assess the level of development of new houses and existing commitments. The assessment is important as it helps to identify the amount of land available to build houses; it now forms part of this Annual Monitoring Report and can be viewed in Appendix 3 of this document. In past years this assessment was called a Housing Land Availability Study.
Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) Part of the Local Development Framework, the annual monitoring report will assess the implementation of the Local Development Scheme and the extent to which policies in Local Development Documents are being successfully implemented.

ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT 2009
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Why prepare an Annual Monitoring Report?
1.1 The Government has introduced a new planning system called Local Development Frameworks (LDFs) under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 which will see the gradual replacement of the Local Plan system over the coming years. In the context of the new planning system, with its focus on the delivery of sustainable development and sustainable communities, monitoring takes on an added importance in providing a check on whether those aims are being achieved.
1.2 The 2004 Act introduced Annual Monitoring Reports (AMRs) and it is a legal requirement for Local Authorities to produce an AMR every year commencing from 2005 (Best Value Target BV 200c). It must be based on the period 1st April to 31st March and be submitted to the Secretary of State no later than the following 31st December.
What are Annual Monitoring Reports required to assess?
1.3 The Government considers that survey, monitoring and review are crucial to the successful delivery of the new Local Development Frameworks and should be carried out on a continuous and pro-active basis. The Annual Monitoring Reports are the main mechanism for assessing the framework’s performance and effects. The Annual Monitoring Report should include an assessment of:
• Whether the timetable and milestones for the preparation of documents set out in the Local Development Scheme (LDS – timetable for the production of the LDF) have been met or progress is being made towards meeting them or where they are not being met or not on track to being achieved, the reasons why; • Whether policies and related targets or milestones in Local Development Documents (LDDs – Development Plan Documents forming part of the LDF) have been met or progress is being made towards meeting them or where they are not being met or not on track to being achieved, the reasons why; • What impact the policies are having in respect of national, regional and local policy targets and any other targets identified in Local Development Documents; • The extent to which any Local Development Order or Simplified Planning Zone, where adopted, is achieving its purposes; • Whether the policies in the Local Development Documents need adjusting or replacing because they are not working as intended; and • Whether the policies need changing to reflect changes in national or regional policy and if policies or proposals need changing, the actions needed to achieve this.
The Format of this Annual Monitoring Report
1.4 Firstly, the AMR will give information on the policy background in West Lindsey and will then update the position in regards to the Local Development Scheme and progress made on the Local Development Framework at 31st March 2009. 1 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
1.5 The main body of the AMR will report on the implementation of the existing, or ‘saved’ policies that are set out in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review 2006. The Local Plan Review was progressed under the old local plan system and policies were ‘saved’ for a period of three years from adoption in 2006. During this period new policies were expected to come forward under the Local Development Framework, however it is taking longer than this to create these new Local Development Documents.
Therefore during this monitoring period the Council submitted a request to the Secretary of State to extend the life of some of the Local Plan policies. Subsequently, in June 2009, selected Local Plan policies were saved beyond June 2009. These are contained in the Schedule of Policies Saved and Not Saved, repeated here in appendix 5. For monitoring purposes, however, since this decision was taken outside the monitoring period covered by the AMR it does not impact upon the data contained herein.
1.6 This Annual Monitoring Report is structured into six key sections which cover the National Local Development Framework Core Output Indicators (Taken from CLG’s ‘Regional Spatial Strategy and Local Development Framework Core Output Indicators – Update 2/2008’, July 2008) listed in Appendix 1 as well as other important data and indicators:
• Development Control Performance • Housing • Business Development/Retail and Local Services • Transport • Flood Protection and Water Quality • Bio-diversity, Renewable Energy and the Built Environment
1.7 The Annual Monitoring Report also includes the following sections:
• Policy Background and Implementation; • Local Development Scheme Timetable and Milestones, and; • West Lindsey District Profile
1.8 This AMR will be used to identify the key challenges and opportunities facing the District and will enable appropriate policy adjustments and revisions to be made. This reflects the concept of ‘plan, monitor, and manage’, whereby the findings of monitoring feed directly into any review of policy that may be required. However, monitoring may indicate the need to address other aspects beyond reviewing the policies set out in the LDF (Local Plan). For example, it may indicate the need to refine or extend the monitoring framework itself or propose actions in respect to related local strategies and initiatives (e.g. community strategies).
2 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
2.0 POLICY BACKGROUND AND IMPLEMENTATION
2.1 During this monitoring period the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review 2006 was used for decision making. The East Midlands Regional Plan (EMRP) was adopted at the end of the monitoring period in March 2009. Much of the policy analysis contained in this report is unaffected by this new policy document, however housing monitoring (in section 6) has been adjusted to reflect new EMRP requirements.
2.2 Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, unless expressly replaced by a ‘new’ policy, ‘old’ policies (adopted local plan, unitary development plan and structure plan policies) are saved for 3 years from whichever is the later of: The date of commencement of section 38 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (`the Act’) on 28 September 2004 OR The date the plan was adopted or approved. This means that as the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review was adopted on the June 2006, the policies were automatically ‘saved’ until June 2009 at which time they were subject to review (see paragraph 1.5).
The Local Development Framework (LDF) - background
2.3 Local Plans are being replaced by Local Development Frameworks (LDFs) which are effectively a portfolio of Local Development Documents (LDDs) that will provide the planning policy framework for the District. The West Lindsey LDF was originally intended to be produced within 4 to 5 years of the Adoption of the West Lindsey Local Plan Review. It was therefore anticipated that the new West Lindsey LDF would be completed by 2010/2011 as set out in the Local Development Scheme 2007 and then it would have replaced the Local Plan First Review. However, the decision to undertake a Joint Core Strategy has lead to progression of the West Lindsey Core Strategy being suspended, pending formation of a new Central Lincolnshire Joint Planning Unit to carry out this work.
The Local Development Scheme (LDS)
2.4 The LDF process has began with production of the Local Development Scheme (LDS) which was essentially the project plan for the LDF, outlining what documents will be produced and when. The original West Lindsey LDS was approved by the Secretary of State on the 11th April 2005, and was subsequently approved by the Council and brought into effect on the 25th May 2005.
2.5 Upon the Adoption of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review it was appropriate to prepare the First Revision to the Local Development Scheme, reported in the previous AMR. The revised Local Development Scheme (First Revision) was approved by the Secretary of State on the 6th December 2006, and brought into effect by the Council on the 15th January 2007.
2.6 The revised LDS is now outdated due to the decision to move to produce a Joint Core Strategy for Central Lincolnshire. As a result not only have key milestones not been met, but the contents of the LDS and structure of the DPD’s contained within it will now need to be agreed with the Joint Planning Unit. This had yet to be decided at the time this report was being prepared, but expectations are that this will need to be put in place by early January 2010.
3 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD)
2.7 No new Supplementary Planning Guidance was adopted by the Council during this monitoring period.
2.8 The following Supplementary Planning Guidance has previously been adopted by the Council:
• Lincolnshire Design Guide for Residential Areas (1996) • 25 Conservation Area Appraisals (1977 – 2001) • Tealby Village Design Statement (2003) • Welton Village Design Statement (2003) • West Lindsey Countryside Design Summary (2003) • Off Site Contributions for Affordable Housing (March 2006 with 2008 Tariff Update)
Local Development Orders (LDO)
2.9 There are currently no Local Development Orders or Simplified Planning Zones within the District and the Council is not looking to make any designations at present.
Sustainable Community Strategy
2.10 The Local Government Act 2000 places a duty on local authorities to prepare Sustainable Community Strategies for promoting or improving the economic, social and environmental well-being of their areas, and contributing to the achievement sustainable development in the UK. The requirement to prepare a Sustainable Community Strategy came into force in October 2000. In preparing community strategies, local authorities will need to take account the policies and proposals of the Adopted Development Plan. The new plan-making system, which came into effect under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act, envisages the LDF as providing the land-use and development policy mechanism for delivering the vision set out in the Community Strategy (Community Plan).
2.11 The West Lindsey Local Strategic Partnership (WL LSP) published the first Community Strategy for West Lindsey in 2004. The District Council, together with health agencies, the police and other public, private and voluntary sector agencies, are the main partners on the WL LSP. A review was undertaken and the second Community Strategy re-titled the West Lindsey Sustainable Community Strategy in May 2006
2.12 The West Lindsey Sustainable Community Strategy (2006-2016) contains the following over-arching vision:
The vision is that West Lindsey is seen as a place where people want to live, work, invest and visit.
2.13 The Strategy also contains the following statements of principle:
4 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
• West Lindsey contains a rich mix of urban and rural areas encompassing bustling, historic market towns; thriving, functional waterways and rich farmland. The partnership works to promote the unique advantages of the District for living and working while seeking to protect and enhance its diverse environment. • West Lindsey has a number of distinct benefits in terms of its history and culture – the area is one in which the traditional is blended with the modern. The partnership wishes to facilitate access to the employment and leisure opportunities provided by the District’s fusion of traditional industry – fishing, agriculture, aviation and manufacturing – with exciting new developments such as those in the fields of life-long learning and the arts. • West Lindsey Strategic Partnership is focused on promoting social inclusion by embracing principles of diversity and equality to enable all residents and visitors to participate in sustainable community living.
2.14 The Strategy itself is divided into three sections:
• Healthy Communities • Safer, Stronger Communities • Economic Development
2.15 These headings reflect broadly the priority issues identified through analysis of stakeholder and resident feedback. The purpose of the Sustainable Community Strategy is to improve the quality of life of everyone in the District, for now and for future generations. It is designed to dovetail with the targets and strategies currently helping to shape West Lindsey, including the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review, Corporate objectives.
2.16 The Local Plan First Review has taken into account issues arising from the first Community Strategy (2004) and its subsequent review (detailed above) by addressing priority issues identified through the strategy. Many of the themes and issues from the Community Strategy fall within the scope of the local plan. With there being a close correlation in terms of the overall aims and objectives of the strategy and the Local Plan First Review. The Local Plan Review has taken on board the aspects of the strategy where the Local Plan Review has a key influencing role (for example through Economic Regeneration).
2.17 Future Corporate aims and objectives will also be aligned with those identified in the Sustainable Community Strategy; whilst taking into account national and regional priorities.
East Midlands Regional Plan (2009) – Extract from EMRP, p.8
2.18 The East Midlands Region covers the counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire, and includes the unitary authorities of Derby, Leicester, Nottingham and Rutland. For the purposes of this Regional Plan, the whole of the Peak District National Park, which includes areas outside Derbyshire, is treated as part of the East Midlands Region.
2.19 This East Midlands Regional Plan comprises the Regional Spatial Strategy for the East Midlands for the period up to 2026 under the provisions of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. It replaces RSS8 issued by the Government in 5 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
March 2005 except for paragraphs 1-70 of Section 6 comprising Part A of the Milton Keynes and South Midlands Sub-Regional Strategy (MKSM SRS) which remains extant. It also replaces all policies in adopted structure plans except for the Northamptonshire Structure Plan Policy SDA1 which remains extant. A schedule showing how structure plan policies have been replaced is appended to the Schedule of Proposed Changes published with this Plan.
2.20 The main role of the Regional Plan is to provide a strategy within which local authorities’ planning documents and Local Transport Plans can be prepared. As it forms part of the statutory ‘Development Plan’ it is also material to decisions on individual planning applications and appeals. However, the Regional Plan does not descend into site specific issues or a level of detail more appropriate to Local Development Frameworks and cross refers to, rather than repeats, national policy guidance where there is little to add at the regional level.
2.21 Instead, the Regional Plan provides a broad development strategy for the East Midlands up to 2026. It identifies the scale and distribution of provision for new housing and priorities for the environment, transport, infrastructure, economic development, agriculture, energy, minerals and waste treatment and disposal. The Strategy also provides the longer term planning framework for the Regional Economic Strategy (RES), prepared by the East Midlands Development Agency (emda), and should be used to inform the development of relevant non land-use strategies and programmes in the Region.
Gainsborough (West Lindsey) Growth Point
2.22 In response to the Barker Review in 2004 and the shortfall of housing supply the Government invited Expressions of Interest for New Growth Points. In October 2006 the Government announced the results of 29 New Growth Points across England to complement the existing four Growth Areas. The criteria was based upon achieving an average new housing build rate of at least 20% higher than set in plans as at October 2003, and delivering at least 500 dwellings per year up to 2016. This initiative resulted in 29 places being confirmed to be supported by the New Growth Point status and to share in an initial £40 million fund for infrastructure projects and essential studies to support sustainable growth.
2.23 The Lincoln Policy Area (LPA) was confirmed as a New Growth Point and is a partnership between the City of Lincoln Council, Lincolnshire County Council, North Kesteven District Council and West Lindsey District Council.
2.24 In addition Central Government invited expressions of interest from Local Authorities across England for a second round of New Growth Points by the end of October 2007; an expression of interest for West Lindsey (excluding the LPA), focusing particularly on Gainsborough was submitted. On the 16th July 2008 it was announced that West Lindsey had been successful in its bid which will build upon the Gainsborough Regained Masterplan produced in June 2007.
2.25 In October 2008 the Council published the Gainsborough (West Lindsey) Growth Point Programme of Development. This document outlines the scale and focus of investment required to achieve Gainsborough’s growth ambitions. It provides a basis for New Growth Point funding bids to enable development and will also be used as a project management tool to ensure that sustainable growth is
6 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
delivered within the required timeframe. It is anticipated that significant progress on the growth projects will take place during the next monitoring period and this should therefore be examined in greater detail in future Annual Monitoring Reports.
2.26 One proposal in the Programme of Development for delivering part of Gainsborough’s future growth is to expand the town with three New Neighbourhoods, adjacent to the existing built-up area of the town. There were extensive pre-application discussions through the end of this monitoring period and well into the summer of 2009 for the first of these developments. An Outline planning application followed in October 2009. More details and regular updates on Gainsborough’s growth can be found on the Council’s website together with a copy of the Programme of Development document.
2.27 The East Midlands Regional Plan (2009) noted Gainsborough’s Growth Point status as ‘Provisional’, subject to being tested through a subsequent partial review of that plan. Therefore the housing requirements of the plan do not reflect the additional housing delivery that would be required to meet the Council’s growth aspirations. The plan states; “Gainsborough has provisionally been accepted as a second round New Growth point, subject to the testing of that proposal through the next review of this Regional Plan” (EMRP, 2009. p.24. Paragraph 2.2.12). A partial review of the EMRP is now underway which is expected to review West Lindsey’s housing requirement, however a revised EMRP is not expected before March 2011. Policy 19 of the EMRP does however support Gainsborough as being a Regional Priority for Regeneration stating that future development in the District should be steered towards the town as a means of reviving the area’s economic development and reducing areas of known deprivation.
7 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
3.0 LOCAL DEVELOPMENT SCHEME TIMETABLE AND MILESTONES
3.1 The previous Annual Monitoring Report set-out the proposed move to undertake a Joint Core Strategy for Central Lincolnshire. Since that time significant progress has been made in relation to this and this section outlines the current position. Whilst some of these changes have occurred outside this monitoring period they are entirely significant to the status of the Council’s Local Development Framework and must be understood in order to give context to the progress that has been made in producing new planning policy for the District against the previous Local Development Scheme timetable and milstones. The following information is taken from an Officer’s report that was submitted for consideration to the Development Plans Sub Committee on 27th May 2009.
3.2 The West Lindsey Local Development Scheme (first revision) was published in January 2007. Since then a Memorandum of Intent has been approved by the Lincoln City, Lincolnshire County and North Kesteven and West Lindsey Councils to establish a joint Local Development Framework and in particular a joint Core Strategy for Lincoln City, North Kesteven and West Lindsey – referred to jointly as the Central Lincolnshire area. The Memorandum of Intent will form the basis for detailed working arrangements which are now being worked up.
3.3 A Local Development Framework is largely made up of Development Plan Documents (DPDs); while the Core Strategy is mandatory others are discretionary. A Local Development Scheme sets out when and what Development Plan documents will be produced by a local planning authority. The West Lindsey Local Development Scheme will need to be either replaced by or in some way merged (with appropriate amendments) in to a joint Central Lincolnshire Development Scheme. That scheme will identify those Development Plan Documents which will need to be produced by a new joint development planning committee for the Central Lincolnshire area. The Core Strategy will be the lead joint DPD and other DPDs must be consistent with it. DPDs produced below Core Strategy level could be for the whole of the Central Lincolnshire area or for parts of it where this is desirable and appropriate – for example for Gainsborough.
3.4 A local planning authority can only produce Development Plan Documents that are identified in its Local Development Scheme but can amend that scheme (although this is not easily done). Clearly the move to a joint Central Lincolnshire approach will require changes to the West Lindsey Local Development Scheme but these will take time to formalise. It will not be possible to progress a West Lindsey Joint Core Strategy because there can not be two Core Strategies for an area and it has been agreed in the Memorandum Of Intent that a Central Lincolnshire Joint Core Strategy should be produced.
3.5 In the meantime it is considered desirable to progress local Development Plan Documents where this is supported by other key stakeholders (including for example the prospective members of the new Joint Development Planning Committee). The final stages for a DPD – submission, examination and adoption – will however have to wait for the new Joint Local Development Scheme to be in place (an early task) and for a Joint Core Strategy to become sufficiently advanced for the consistency of emerging lower level DPDs to be demonstrated. Adoption of lower level DPDs will not be possible until the Core Strategy is adopted.
8 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
3.6 This following paragraphs identify actions that can be taken at the local level in relation to the current West Lindsey Local Development Scheme as a result of the decision to move to a joint Central Lincolnshire Core Strategy and potentially other joint DPDs.
West Lindsey Local Development Scheme Documents – Position at 1st April 2009
3.7 The West Lindsey Local Development Scheme (first revision published January 2007) refers to a number of documents - the position in relation to which is as follows:
Statement of Community Involvement
3.8 This has been adopted and will continue until it is replaced by a joint Central Lincolnshire Statement of Community Involvement.
Core Strategy (Development Plan Document)
3.9 A West Lindsey Core Strategy Issues and Options consultation was carried out in August 2007. The outcome of this was reported to the Development Plans Sub Committee with related recommendations in November 2007, and commented upon in the previous Annual Monitoring Report.
3.10 The West Lindsey Core Strategy process can not be taken any further. Some of the matters that were proposed for consideration in the above Issues and Options consultation and the responses received to them will however be able to inform the preparation of a joint Central Lincolnshire Core Strategy but some would be too detailed for the wider area strategic level Core Strategy approach that will now be taken. In addition some of the Issues and Options matters would have a bearing on the Gainsborough Area Action Plan DPD.
Gainsborough Area Action Plan (Development Plan Document)
3.11 A Gainsborough Area Action Plan Issues and Options consultation was carried out in August 2007.
3.12 Because a Gainsborough Area Action Plan would need to be demonstrated to be consistent with the relevant Core Strategy as explained above it will not be possible to progress a Gainsborough Area Action plan DPD to adoption until there is an adopted Core Strategy.
3.13 Nevertheless it is intended that further work could be carried out and it is considered that there should still be a Gainsborough Area Action Plan DPD because of the importance of the regeneration objectives and potential related Growth Point agenda for the town.
Strategic Development DPD
3.14 This DPD would have set out how the West Lindsey Core Strategy would be achieved in relation to land allocations and policies for housing, employment, mixed use, retail, recreation, roadside services, open space, green wedges and
9 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
protected settlement breaks. It would need to conform with the East Midlands Regional Plan and the relevant Core Strategy but whereas the East Midlands Regional Plan was published in March 2009 in its latest revised form there will be no adopted Core Strategy in place in the immediate future for the reasons explained above. The joint Local Development Scheme will establish how and in what sort of DPD strategic allocations will be made.
General Planning Policies DPD
3.15 Again this could not be adopted without a Core Strategy in place. All of the Local Plan policies were originally saved until June 2009 and a request was made to the Secretary of State in December 2008 to save some of the Local Plan policies beyond this period where a case had been made that they are still required and that they were consistent with and do not repeat current national and regional policy. These provide a local basis for development control decisions until such time as they are replaced by the adoption of a Core Strategy with core policies or more local level planning policies. There could still be a role for a locally based DPD to deal with matters of local distinctiveness and other matters below Core Strategy and joint Core Policy level. Any local level policies would not only need to avoid repetition of or conflict with national regional policies, but also Core Strategy policies. This will need to be dealt with through discussions on the content of the new joint Local Development Scheme.
3.16 The decision on Local Plan saved policies was provided by the Secretary of State in June 2009. Although this decision was made outside the monitoring period covered by this report, given the significance, the schedules of policies saved and policies not saved are included in Appendix 5.
Proposals Map
3.17 There must be a Proposals Map but this will now need to be for the Central Lincolnshire Area. Any Gainsborough Area Action Plan map based proposals would be subject to consistency and compliance with the Core Strategy proposals before adoption but as Core Strategy proposals will be at a generally higher level than those for Gainsborough this should not present an issue.
Proposed DPDs currently outside the West Lindsey Local Development Scheme
3.18 In 2008 Council resolved to produce a Gypsy and Traveller Sites DPD. As noted above DPDs can only be produced in accordance with the approved Local Development Scheme and the West Lindsey Scheme does not include such a DPD. The joint production of a new Local Development Scheme will allow this situation to be resolved.
Possible amendments to the West Lindsey Local Development Scheme
3.19 If a West Lindsey Local Development Scheme is to be retained as part of a new joint scheme to deal with DPDs that are not to be prepared jointly for the whole of the Central Lincolnshire Area the current scheme will need to be amended. Alternatively if the West Lindsey Local Development Scheme is to be entirely replaced by a new joint scheme it will have to be abandoned. There remains
10 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
decisions to be made over what joint whole/part Central Lincolnshire area and any local area DPDs should be produced. A Central Lincolnshire Core Strategy is currently the only proposed DPD pending the new joint Committee considering a new joint Local Development Scheme.
3.20 Assuming that joint Central Lincolnshire DPDs are named in one part of the new joint Local Development Scheme and Local Authority area or other local area specific ones in another it is anticipated that the initial arrangement could be as follows:
Proposed Joint area DPDs
3.21 Central Lincolnshire Core Strategy
Proposed Local Level DPDs
3.22 Gainsborough Action Plan including allocations West Lindsey Gypsy and Traveller Sites West Lindsey Local Area Development Control policies/guidance
3.23 The above proposals need to be discussed and agreed with the other Central Lincolnshire authorities who are to be members of the new Joint Committee and also take account of their proposals for joint and local area DPDs. Future AMRs will provide further information as Joint Planning Unit work commences.

4.0 WEST LINDSEY DISTRICT PROFILE
Characteristics of West Lindsey
4.1 West Lindsey is a large predominately rural District, covering an area of 1,158 square kilometres (447 square miles), located in the north-west corner of Lincolnshire (Figure 1). The vast majority of the District is used for the production of intensively farmed arable crops and like most of Lincolnshire the topography is flat or slightly rolling in nature. However, West Lindsey is punctuated by the high ground of the Lincolnshire Wolds to the east and the Lincoln Edge, which runs north to south across the middle of the District. Another notable natural feature of the area is the River Trent which forms most of the western boundary of the District.
Figure 1 – West Lindsey map and its position within Lincolnshire
4.2 With a population of 88,900 (Office for National Statistics, Mid-2008 Population Estimate), West Lindsey is a sparsely populated rural area dotted with over 150 villages and other settlements of all sorts and sizes, ranging from secluded and beautifully located hamlets in the Wolds to large commuter villages close to Lincoln. The District has a population density of just 77 persons per square kilometre (based on mid-2008 Population Estimates), and the 2001 Census indicates that it is the most sparsely populated Council within Lincolnshire and the East Midlands Region.
4.3 The largest settlement is the market and industrial town of Gainsborough, in the west, which is the main administrative centre and at the time of the 2001 census, had a population of 16,869 (2001 Census, Parish Area Population Figures). In the eastern half of the District close to the Wolds, lie the small market towns of Caistor (2,601) and Market Rasen (3,230). Other large settlements to be found in West Lindsey include Keelby (2,172) in the north-east and Scotter (2,591) in the north- west of the District. Close to the City of Lincoln can be found the large commuter villages of Saxilby (3,679), Welton (3,821), Nettleham (3,514) and Cherry
12 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
Willingham (2,947) which although they often exceed the population of the towns of Caistor and Market Rasen, they lack the necessary range of services and facilities to be classified as towns in their own right.
4.4 Table 1 illustrates that between mid-1991 and the 2001 census, West Lindsey experienced a 3.8% growth in population. Since the 2001 census, West Lindsey’s population has also grown considerably, by a further 11.8% when observing the Mid-2008 estimates. It is also anticipated, according to 2006-based ‘Sub National Population Projections’, that West Lindsey’s population will increase by 17% over the 10 year period 2006 to 2016 (amongst the fastest in the Region) (Office for National Statistics / Lincolnshire Research Observatory). Consequently, West Lindsey is anticipated to grow at a rate greater than the Regional and National averages over this period; which have been projected at 11% and 8% respectively (Office for National Statistics / Lincolnshire Research Observatory).

4.5 According to the mid-2007 population estimates, 48.9% of the population residing in West Lindsey were male and 51.1% were female. In mid-2007, 22.7% of the resident population in West Lindsey were of retirement age (65 and over for males or 60 and over for females) comparatively higher than the national average which stands at 18.9% (Office for National Statistics, 2007 Estimate). The breakdown of population for West Lindsey (Figure 2) as obtained from the 2001 Census highlights that there is a shortfall of 20-34 year olds. This age group represents the most mobile sector of the workforce, who are typically the most educated and skilled and who find it easier to gain employment and thus leave the area. At 41 years, the average age of the population in West Lindsey is higher than the national average age of 38.6 years for England and Wales (2001 Census).
4.6 Patterns of deprivation show the extent of diversity and disparity between wards within the District. Gainsborough South West Ward has one of its three Super Output Areas (SOAs) in the bottom 20% and one in the bottom 5% thus causing it to be classed as the most deprived Ward in the District. The second most deprived Ward is Gainsborough East which has two of its four SOAs in the bottom 20% and one in the bottom 10%. In contrast, parts of Nettleham and Welton Wards are within the 5% least deprived in the country, with part of Saxilby being in the 10% least deprived. (Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2007).

4.7 The 2001 Census showed that the overall population of West Lindsey (i.e. 79,515) was largely White British (97.6%) which was 10% higher than the national average (Table 2). Non-white ethnic groups accounted for just 0.8% of the population, with the largest ethnic minority group being Asian or Asian British Indian (0.2%). The percentages of non-white ethnic groups are significantly lower in West Lindsey and Lincolnshire, than the East Midlands and England and Wales.

5.0 DEVELOPMENT CONTROL MONITORING
Introduction
5.1 The Council, in accordance with statutory provisions, has a duty to consider all planning applications submitted to West Lindsey. Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 states that all planning applications submitted to the Council must be determined in accordance with the Development Plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Planning appeal decisions and Enforcement are also dealt with in this context.
5.2 The data that follows is based upon the PS1/2 statistical returns to the Department for Communities and Local Government. The following types of proposal are NOT included in the statistics:
• Prior Notification of Agriculture & Forestry or Telecommunications Development • Prior Notification of Proposals for Demolition • Trees protected by Tree Preservation Orders • Consultations by Neighbouring Authorities • Applications for Hazardous Substances Consent • Applications for Discharge of Conditions
Determinations
5.3 The table below splits determinations into the groupings used for the monitoring of National Indicators and illustrates the percentages of determinations that have been made each year within the target timescales set nationally.
Table 3 – Determination of applications in relation to BVPI targets
‘Minor’ Applications ‘Other’ Applications ‘Major’ Applications (NI157b) (NI157c) (NI157a) Year Number % Determined Number % Determined Number % Determined Determined within Determined within Determined within 8 weeks 8 weeks 13 weeks 2001-02 394 47% 507 73% 36 17% 2002-03 470 38% 693 68% 51 27% 2003-04 486 75% 790 88% 51 67% 2004-05 451 72% 724 87% 60 70% 2005-06 449 76% 688 89% 37 89% 2006-07 406 74% 698 87% 32 91% 2007-08 410 78% 636 88% 39 77% 2008-09 308 60% 484 78% 32 49%
5.4 Due to the increase in delegation of decisions to officers, and the official targets for determining planning applications, there have been some dramatic increases in the percentage of applications being determined overall within their respective target timescales over the 2001/02 to 2008/09 period; most notably for Major applications. The percentage of determinations within respective target periods is down for 2008/09, as expected, due to a substantial review of the planning services at the Council. This has resulted in a temporary but significant effect on performance but enabled the formation of a pre-application advice service that will help determine future applications well within the target timescales. 15 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
5.5 Table 4 gives a more detailed breakdown of determinations over the past monitoring year, with numbers of applications refused and approved by development type. For clarification, Major development is classified by the Town & Country Planning (General Development Procedure) 1995 as:
(a) Development of 10 or more dwellings (or where the number is not stated where a site is 0.5 hectares or more); (b) The provision of a building or buildings where the floor space is 1000 square metres or more (or the site is 1 hectare or more)
The definition of a ‘Minor’ planning application is one which is smaller than the ‘major’ but is not a domestic/general householder related proposal.
5.6 Table 4 illustrates that of the 828 determinations in 2008/09 718 (87%) were approved and 110 (13%) were refused The largest individual category of applications was the ‘householder’ category i.e. for extensions to dwellings and the construction of garages etc (395 or 48%). ‘Major’ applications constituted nearly 4% of all applications determined, with ‘Minor’ applications accounting for 37% and the ‘Other’ category with 59% overall.

Planning Appeal Decisions
5.7 Table 5 illustrates that over the period 1st April 2008 to 31st March 2009, 59 appeals were determined, compared to 37 in 2007/08. In terms of the decisions
16 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
made, 31% were allowed and 69% were dismissed in 2008/09 (the Best Value Target BV204 for 2008/09 was 33% allowed). Overall there has been a notable decline in the percentage of appeals allowed since the publication of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review - First Deposit Draft in September 2003. This trend has continued further as the weight being attached to the Local Plan First Review policies by Inspectors has increased following the adoption in June 2006 of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review.

Enforcement
5.8 Over the period 1st April 2008 to 31st March 2009, some 296 complaints were received relating to unauthorised developments in the District (Table 7). This is fewer complaints than during the same period last year, and is the third year such a decline has been noted (following a sustained increase from 2001/02 to 2005/06). Consequently, overall enforcement complaints in 2008/09 are only 11% higher than 2001/02 levels, and are actually 7% less than five years ago. Each enforcement case is investigated to assess whether action is required. The Council has issued 15 Enforcement Notices and 20 Planning Contravention Notices in 2008/09.

Introduction
6.1 The provision of housing is one of the central themes of any Development Plan. Provision of housing which meets the needs of the community and the aspirations of individuals whilst paying consideration to environmental factors is therefore key to the aims and objectives of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review.
6.2 Central Government Guidance emphasises the need to ensure the retention and creation of vital and viable rural communities, whilst protecting and preserving the countryside. It suggests the main focus of new development should be on existing settlements, promoting sustainable development by strengthening villages and market towns, protecting open space, sustaining local services and reducing the need to travel.
6.3 New residential development will therefore, generally be directed towards the main settlements of the District which have the facilities and services to sustain their role as service centres for surrounding settlements. In other settlements lacking those facilities and services; new residential development will only be allowed under specific circumstances. Gainsborough in particular, identified as a priority for regeneration in the East Midlands Regional Plan and now with Growth Point Status, is the focus for the majority of new residential development.
Method
6.4 A key element of both the Local Plan and the evidence base for the Local Development Framework is to ensure that there is sufficient provision of land for housing. The District Council undertakes an Annual Housing Supply Assessment (now part of this AMR; See Appendix 2) or AHSA which records the extent to which the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review Housing Requirements are being met.
6.5 The assessment reviews planning approvals in the past financial year and outstanding planning permissions to track development completions over the year and produce a list of outstanding permissions. It also provides information for a range of other factors, such as brownfield development rates and forms the basis of the following analysis of Housing Development in West Lindsey and the National Core Indicators below.

Housing Supply
6.6 Following the development boom of recent years, with a high level of completions and permissions being granted, the housing delivery requirement set in the Local Plan has already been passed. That plan provided a total requirement of 5,250 additional dwellings (or 350 per annum) for the period 2001 to 2016. As at 1st April 2009 there have been 5,359 completions since the start of the plan period, representing an over supply against Local Plan requirements of 109 dwellings.
6.7 It should be noted that the East Midlands Regional Plan (2009) sets a higher requirement than the Local Plan, and this is subject to a partial review to be potentially increased further still, in order to reflect Gainsborough’s Growth Point status.
6.8 One of the primary objectives of PPS 3 (Housing), published in November 2006, is to establish housing supply figures which satisfy a five year, ten year, and if possible a 15 year period. The following supply figures are taken from the AHSA: . District Supply (as of the 01/04/2009)
Under Construction 420 Outline Planning Permission 765 Full Planning Permission/Reserved Matters 2,257 Residual Local Plan Review Allocations 871 Estimated Windfall Allowance 2009 -2016 (7 Yrs x 49p.a)* 343 Total Supply 4,656
*Windfall Allowance derived from the realistic potential yield of Previously Developed Land (Urban Capacity Study of 2002).
Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)
6.9 The West Lindsey SHLAA was published in March 2008 and provides the District’s evidence of its future land supply. Planning Policy Statement 3 – Housing (PPS3) produced in November 2006 suggests that all local planning authorities should undertake a SHLAA to evaluate land availability in their area. SHLAA’s are required to provide the evidence base for the Local Development Framework (LDF) and the Regional Plan process. The West Lindsey SHLAA should be updated on an annual basis to ensure that the Council has the ability to demonstrate a rolling five year supply of housing land.
6.10 The District supply figures above derive from sites within the current planning process only and do not take in to account additional sites that have been identified by the SHLLA as such locations are yet to be assessed strategically for their suitability to accommodate future growth. The SHLAA does however represent a theoretical study of land that is potentially available and thus it will act as important tool in allocating sites through the LDF process. The 2008 SHLAA identified a possible 11,099 further ‘deliverable’ dwellings that are not currently within the planning process.
6.11 A review planned for 2009 will be carried out jointly with the neighbouring North Kesteven and Lincoln City Councils, so that one document can be produced reflecting the supply of housing land for the entire Central Lincolnshire HMA. 20 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
Housing Trajectory
6.12 The Housing Trajectory (Table 7) is shown on the next page. It covers the period from 2006 to 2026 in order to coincide with the plan period for the East Midlands Regional Plan (2009).
6.13 The East Midlands Regional Plan sets a housing requirement of 480 additional dwellings per annum, or a total of 9,600 for the plan period 2006 – 2026. This figure applies to the whole of the district of West Lindsey minus the part of the district that is within the Lincoln Principle Urban Area (PUA). Monitoring of the PUA area is undertaken by Lincoln City Council and reported in their Annual Monitoring Report.
6.14 Figures 3 & 4 clearly show that the actual and projected completions easily meet the East Midlands Regional Plan requirement of 480 dwellings per annum until the end of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review period 2015/16. It is also important to note that whilst allocations and commitments are currently projected to be built out by end of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review period, by this time West Lindsey will have gone through the process of identifying and allocating new sites for development, which will therefore form part of future delivery. As such, the trajectory is purely intended to be only an illustrative guide to future development in West Lindsey.
6.15 The further along the trajectory you get, particularly past 2016, the less accurate the projections will be, and the more change is likely to be seen as planning policy evolves and the Local Development Framework progresses. Until further housing sites are identified and allocated, it will not be possible to project future completions beyond the period of the existing development plan. Note: This trajectory does not include the SHLAA sites detailed in section 6.10 above.

Completions
6.16 The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review has an annual requirement of 350 dwellings per annum and a target to achieve the completion of at least 320 dwellings per annum until 2016.
6.17 Figure 5 shows that the above requirement is quite clearly being met and that the annual requirement of 480 dwellings per annum set out in the East Midlands Regional Plan is also being met. Indeed the average completion rate over the past eight years has been 667 dwellings per year. If this completion rate were to be carried forward into the future the residual EMRP housing requirement to 2026 would actually be achieved by 2020 (subject to supply of sufficient sites).

6.18 Figure 6 shows the high level of completions achieved in recent years on Allocated Housing Sites and the amount of Windfall Development that has occurred. The high level of completions seen on allocated sites over recent years is due in part to historical permissions being implemented (planning permissions used to last up to five years). The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review saw some 70 greenfield sites in the previous Local Plan of 1998 de-allocated. In October 2001 the Council announced its intention not to grant permission on these sites in the light of Government Guidance in PPG3 (Housing). This helped prevent an exacerbation of the current over-allocation in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review, which is particularly acute in the rural parts of the District. In recent years the development boom, especially in Gainsborough, has also seen allocated housing sites (both greenfield and brownfield) in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review being developed that were not being taken up previously.

6.19 Figures 7 & 8 also show that whilst a key aim of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review is to focus development in the Towns, and some development into the Primary Rural Settlements; development in Subsidiary Rural Settlements has been quite significant over the 8-year period (2001-2008/09); whilst development in the Primary Rural Settlements is actually higher than development in the Towns over the same period.
6.20 The settlement hierarchy approach and the direction of the vast majority of residential housing allocations to the most sustainable locations (i.e. the towns and larger settlements of the District) was not entirely working in the first few years of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review. However, as planning permissions in the past lasted up to 5 years, the dramatic change of policy stance between the Adopted and the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review will have taken some time to take effect on the ground and with Gainsborough, Market Rasen and Caistor (with construction on site C7 having recently started) the only locations left with large un-developed allocations a shift will take place in coming years (as in 2008/09) from completions in other areas to the Towns.

6.21 Dwellings being built and completed under older but still valid planning permissions, were probably granted under the Adopted Local Plan (1998) which did not operate a Sustainable Development Hierarchy but instead operated in presumption of favour of development within settlement boundaries drawn around all the settlements. However, only 40 dwellings (or 1% of the total – Figure 8) have been completed in the open countryside over the last 8 years. The strict controls placed upon such development in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review are clearly working.

Commitments and Planning Status of Major Windfall Sites
6.22 The Annual Housing Supply Assessment in appendix 2 (Table 2) contains information on Housing Commitments for each settlement in the District as of the 1st April 2009.
Progress towards Implementing Development on Allocated Sites
6.23 Appendix 2 – Table 5 also contains a schedule indicating the progress that has been made towards implementing proposals for residential development on sites allocated in the Local Plan First Review. The majority of these allocations have been made in the three Market Towns of Gainsborough, Market Rasen and Caistor; some 2325 dwellings. It is estimated that, based on the average of two adults per household the population will rise by 5%, or approximately 4,650 persons when these allocated housing sites have been completed. This will halt the population decline in the three towns and help to achieve the 5% growth target identified in the Local Plan First Review for these settlements (please see the above appendix for information on the progress that has been made on developing Residential Allocations throughout the District in the past year).
Brownfield Development
6.24 Central Government sets a number of targets Local Authorities should aim to reach; including the national requirement to develop 60% of residential development on brownfield land in order to protect greenfield land (PPS3). As the District is deeply rural in nature the opportunities for brownfield development are limited. The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review set a more realistic target of increasing the percentage of new housing development on previously developed land on a year by year basis with the aim of reaching a target of 40% by 2016. The Council also has economic objectives and Best Value Targets (BV 106) to try and meet with regard to the use of previously developed land for new development. The allocation and windfall allowances set out in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review set a housing strategy based upon a brownfield rate of 37.9%.

6.25 Figure 9 quite clearly shows that the West Lindsey Local Plan Review Target of increasing the amount of brownfield land developed year on year to a figure of 40% by 2016 is not being met. The Council has accepted that previous Best Value Targets over recent years have also been overly ambitious (a performance target of 25% for 2008/09 has not been met). The low brownfield completions figure achieved for this monitoring period is unlikely to improve in future years as West Lindsey is a largely rural district with relatively few brownfield sites (those large brownfield sites that existed mainly in Gainsborough have either already been developed or are proving very difficult to develop).
Affordable Housing
6.26 Central Government sets out its commitment to ensuring the provision of affordable housing in PPS3 (Housing) which amends the definition of Affordable Housing to no longer include low cost market housing. PPS3 also requires targets to be set for social rented and intermediate (non market rented or shared equity) housing. A community’s need for affordable housing is considered to be a material planning consideration and should be taken into account when determining planning applications. West Lindsey is committed to the aim of ensuring that local people have the opportunity of a decent home, which meets their needs locally and at a price or rent that they can afford.
6.26 The 2003 Housing Needs and Stock Condition Survey for West Lindsey identified an annual need for 55 affordable units, out of the 350 dwellings required annually by the Local Plan. Given that this need is likely to rise over the plan period a target level of 25% affordable housing provision on all housing developments was sought to allow current and future levels of housing need to be met.
6.27 This Local Plan policy is now superseded by the more ambitious affordable housing requirements set out in the East Midlands Regional Plan (2009). The plan does not provide the requirement as a percentage, instead giving a number of affordable units that should be delivered. Policy 14 sets out the Regional Priorities for Affordable Housing and provides the target on a Housing Market Area (HMA) basis only, rather than by district. The Central Lincolnshire HMA is given the target of delivering an additional 11,800 affordable homes in the period 2006 to 2026, which translates to 29% affordable units on all developments.
6.28 At present the Central and Coastal Lincolnshire Housing Market Assessment, published in October 2007, is used to inform the policies and strategy of the future West Lindsey LDF. An update to this study is now planned and it is anticipated that a new Central Lincolnshire Strategic Housing Market Assessment will be completed by March 2010.
6.29 There are two main approaches to affordable housing operating in the District; the preferred option is for on-site provision achieved by planning condition or secondly in exceptional circumstances by an off-site provision via contribution of a sum of money secured through a Section 106 Planning Obligation.
6.30 Figures from the Housing Investment Programme (HIP Return) – Housing Strategy Statistical Appendix (2008/09) show that 112 Housing Association units were completed during the monitoring period.
27 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
Vacant Dwellings
6.31 Many habitable dwellings, especially in Gainsborough are currently vacant. Vacancy rates have reached over 6% in West Lindsey in recent years (this years figure is 4.95% compared to a regional average of around 1.90%). Some housing is arguably reaching the end of its natural life but many empty dwellings are habitable and could make a contribution to affordable housing.
6.32 The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review seeks to reduce the number of vacant dwellings in the District to reflect the national and regional averages by 2016. Table 8 shows that the Council has generally been reducing the percentage of vacant dwellings over the past eight years. As of the 1st April 2009 vacant dwellings made up 4.95% of the dwelling stock in West Lindsey; this compares with 1.90% for the East Midlands region and 2.08% for England (Housing Strategy Statistical Appendix as of 1st April 2007). 8 dwellings were demolished during the monitoring period 2008/09 (WLDC Building Control, 2009).

Dwelling Types
6.33 The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review with its commitment to ensuring the provision of affordable housing will also seek to provide a range of housing provision in all housing schemes, which together will seek to achieve the provision of balanced communities. In general, the needs, likes and level of affluence of households dictate the type and location of housing. Therefore, it is always important in all new housing schemes to provide a choice of properties to target all housing aspirations which will help to create vibrant and mixed communities. The density of proposals is also important to help achieve sustainable development patterns.
6.34 Providing a range of housing types maximises choice, helps satisfy the many differing housing demands and helps to cater for local needs. PPS3 (Housing) is specific in that it states that new housing developments should avoid the creation of large areas of housing of similar characteristics as they do not generally create mixed and balanced communities. The Council seeks to provide a variety of housing types, sizes and densities including the provision of smaller homes as part of every housing development whatever their size (Policy RES 2 of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review).
28 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
6.35 Providing a wider and more balanced range of housing is a key objective of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review. Figure 10 shows that the Council is starting to address the imbalance that has been reported in previous AMR’s. Last year’s AMR showed that over 85% of all completions were 3 bed or larger, with very few smaller units.
6.36 This year there has been a reduction in three bed and four bed plus units being built, down to 32.4 % and 31.5% respectively. One and two bedroom units have increased from 0.4% and 13.8% to 0.9% and 35.2% respectively – delivering a greater mix of housing types in line with the Local Plan objectives and the sustainable communities agenda contained in PPS12.

Contextual Indicators – Housing and Household Profile
6.37 In the 2001 Census there were 32,872 households in West Lindsey and the average size of a household (2.4 people) is in line with the national average of 2.4 people for England and Wales (Census 2001). The number of households in West Lindsey is currently 40,027 (Housing Flows return, 2009). West Lindsey and Lincolnshire have a higher than average figure of homeowners who own outright compared to the regional and national figures, and lower social rented tenures as illustrated in Figure 11.
6.38 Numbers of detached dwellings in West Lindsey are more than double the average for England and Wales. Semi-detached properties fall just under this average, whilst terraced and flat/maisonette properties fall significantly below the national average, as illustrated Table 9.

6.39 Current average house prices in West Lindsey are generally similar to the County and Regional figures but lower than the national average (Table 11). Price rises over the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review period reflect a steady annual increase however the current economic climate can be attributed to the recent down-turn in sales and falling property prices. These are likely to further continue to a greater extent in the coming year.

Gypsy and Traveller Sites (Core Output Indicator H5)
6.39 No additional pitches were allocated in this monitoring period. The District currently has 13 transit pitches and 27 permanent pitches.
6.40 The East Midlands Regional Plan (2009) sets out a minimum net additional pitch requirement under Policy 16 – Regional Priorities for Provision for Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople. This information is derived from the Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) which the Regional Plan also recommends should be updated regularly in order to continually maintain an up to date record of local needs in this respect. West Lindsey is given the target of delivering 22 additional pitches in the period 2007 to 2012 with further provision thereafter if identified as necessary by the GTAA at that time.
6.41 During 2008, in part to help deliver this supply of pitches, the Council resolved to produce a Gypsy and Traveller DPD – see section 3.18 for more information.
Building for Life Assessments Design (Core Output Indicator H7)
6.40 This authority does not currently employ a fully trained Building for Life assessor and as such no formal Building for Life assessments have been made. In 2009 an application was submitted to CABE for training in this respect.

Introduction
7.1 A key aim of Central Government Guidance is to encourage continued economic development in a way which is compatible with environmental objectives. It is essential that there is a balance between environmental, social and economic factors. The Council is therefore keen to promote the continued economic development of the District by allocating a range of the most appropriate sites for employment development for developers wishing to invest in West Lindsey.
7.2 The Council has intentionally allocated a range of employment sites both in terms of size and location, although the majority of employment land has been focused on the three towns of Gainsborough, Market Rasen and Caistor as these are considered to be the most sustainable locations. The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review also focuses most of the Residential Development Growth, at these three towns; therefore there will be an increase in population, and thus the provision of local employment is of key importance to ensure there is ample opportunity for job creation. 32 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
7.3 The three towns are well established employment centres with an existing industrial and commercial base; which are accessible for journey to work purposes from a wide rural hinterland and have a sizeable labour pool. Gainsborough has been named a new Growth Point and is also identified as a Regional Regeneration Priority in the East Midlands Regional Plan (2009). The current West Lindsey Local Plan First Review has allocated the Heapham Road employment site which is by far the largest employment allocation within the District (36 Ha). It plays a strategic role in ensuring the economic viability of the District and the Planning Authority sees that it is vital that the site is developed as planned.
7.4 Land has also been allocated in a number of smaller rural locations to allow for a better spread of local investment opportunities across the District and to secure economic activity at a local level for these communities. Many of the smaller rural employment sites will provide much needed employment opportunities for local people and contribute towards the longer term sustainability of such locations that may otherwise struggle to attract investment or make businesses viable. Appendix 3 gives an overview of the status of allocated employment sites as at 1st April 2009, including details of any currently unoccupied allocated employment sites which future development should be steered towards.
7.5 An Employment Land Review commenced during this monitoring period and is expected to conclude towards the end of 2009. Initially this piece of work is being undertaken at District level and once complete it will be combined with studies underway for the City of Lincoln and North Kesteven to produce a single Employment Land Review for the Central Lincolnshire area. The next AMR will report on the key findings of this review which should provide an up to date reflection of the current and future needs of the district.
Method
7.6 This is the fifth year that West Lindsey have undertaken an employment development survey. The monitoring exercise is generally concerned with the development of land for employment purposes and changes of use of known significance. Significant extensions on existing sites are also monitored. Information was gathered through a combination of desk based assessment of the Council’s planning applications database, Building Control records and site visits.
7.7 For this years Annual Monitoring Report the employment development survey has provided information in order to: -
(i) Complete the Local Development Framework Core Indicators for Business Development (see below); (ii) To assess progress towards Regional requirements; both those outlined in the Regional Plan and the Regional Economic Strategy. (iii) To assess progress on Local Plan Allocations; and (iv) To provide information on any loss of employment land (this is no longer a Core Output Indicator but its monitoring is considered good practice).
The information contained within this section was also provided to the East Midlands Regional Assembly in August 2009 for the Regional Annual Monitoring Report return.

This is also in line with the requirements of the 2009 Regional return. The Core Output Indicators – Update 2/2008 (p.7) states that data in AMR’s should be consistent with other returns and in this respect the same thresholds have been used. Note: Indicators 1b & 1e – Losses of employment land in (i) employment regeneration areas and (ii) local authority area (in terms of floorspace and hectares) has been removed under the Core Output Indicators – Update 2/2008.
Regional Requirements
7.8 The East Midlands Regional Plan (2009) advises that Local Authorities, the East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA) and sub-regional strategic partnerships should work together in housing market area groups to undertake and keep up to date Employment Land Reviews to inform the allocation of employment land in strategic locations. As such it does not seek to set targets for future provision (this work is now underway as stated in paragraph 7.5 above).
7.9 The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review has not imposed targets for the provision of employment land, but it has allocated 39.83Ha of land in Gainsborough, 3.62Ha in Market Rasen, 11.00Ha in Caistor, 10.98Ha in the Lincoln Policy Area and 31.7Ha in the Rural Sub-Area. These figures provide a useful indication of what the planning authority thought was necessary for the three towns and the rest of the District in terms of employment land provision. Appendix 3 provides the current status of all sites allocated in the Local Plan First Review.

Introduction
7.11 National Planning Policy in PPS6 (Planning for Town Centres) seeks to promote the vitality and viability of town centres and ensure the existence of a wide range of facilities, services and retail outlets. In particular there is emphasis on a sequential approach for selecting sites for development for retail and commercial, leisure and other key town centre uses.
7.12 The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review seeks to strengthen the town centres of Gainsborough, Market Rasen and Caistor as primary shopping and service locations, by promoting and enhancing their retail and service functions. Small scale retail development is also allowed in the Primary Rural Settlements of the District because of their service function and to a lesser extent in other settlements within the District. Retail development in the open countryside is unacceptable; because of its affect on the character of the countryside, due to it being unsustainable since it will have to be accessed by private car and because it is unlikely to prove viable.
7.13 Policies in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review were informed by a ‘Retail and Commercial Leisure Study’ produced by Drivas Jonas in 2001. A revised version of this study is underway and will be available in the next monitoring period to inform the Local Development Framework.
Method
7.14 This is the fifth year that West Lindsey have undertaken a Retail Development Survey of planning applications. Information was gathered through a combination of desk based assessments of the Council’s planning applications database and building control records and site investigations. However, during this monitoring period there were no developments found to exceed the minimum size thresholds as described under the National Core Indicator table on the next page.

Progress towards Implementing Development on Allocated Sites
7.15 Only one specific Retail allocation was designated under the Local Plan First Review at Sudbrooke because of its poor retail provision. The Council considered that the Primary Rural Settlement of Sudbrooke which had a population of 1,604 (2001 Census, Parish Area) suffered from a lack of shops and services and required a specific allocation of land to made for the purpose of providing additional facilities. A small mini-market and hairdressers was completed on the site during the 2004/05 monitoring period.
7.16 Although the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review only allocated one specific Retail Allocation the majority of mixed use sites allocated under the Plan had A1, A2 and A3 uses specified under their site development requirements. Two of these sites took major strides forward during this monitoring period. The completion of Britannia Works, Gainsborough, G(M)4 (April 2007) has created one of the most significant retail schemes in West Lindsey over recent years. The mixed use development, named ‘Marshalls Yard’ includes over 13,011m2 of retail and leisure floorspace and 4,647m2 of business accommodation.
7.17 The commercial and industrial floorspace statistics (Table 11) indicate that as of the 1st April 2005 (the last date for which this information is available), West Lindsey had some 91,000m2 of retail, 62,000m2 of office and 597,000m2 of factory and warehouse floorspace. At the same time, 9% of all commercial and industrial premises to be found in West Lindsey were considered to be vacant.

Contextual Indicators (Parts 1 & 2) – Education, Skills & Employment Profile
7.18 West Lindsey forms part of the Lincolnshire Local Education Area. In the academic year 2006/07 (the last year for which data was readily available), 64.7% of pupils achieved 5 or more grades A* - C at GCSE or equivalent (slightly down on the figure achieved for 2005/06 (64.9) but up significantly from 61.8% in 2004/05), compared to 64.4% in Lincolnshire, 58% in the East Midlands and 60.4% in England (Office for National Statistics, 2008). The population of West Lindsey as a whole however, is below the national average for Level 3 and Level 4/5 qualifications as illustrated in Table 12 and Figure 13, however it should be noted that this information is based upon 2001 Census figures and it is likely that the actual figures may differ.

7.19 Employment rates in West Lindsey, as illustrated in Table 13, are higher than the average for England and Wales as well as both those of Lincolnshire and the East Midlands. Unemployment (Claimant Counts) for West Lindsey, standing at 2.3% of the population, is marginally less than the national average of 2.5%, equal to that of the Region, and a little higher than the figure for the whole of Lincolnshire (2.1%) (Office for National Statistics, Local Area Employment Data 2007).

7.21 More specifically Figure 15 and Table 14 detail the types of employee profile and occupations in the District. The employment profile in West Lindsey is generally weighted towards public administration, education and health, over other employment types. This is also reflected in the types of occupation, whereby skilled trades, process and elementary occupations are higher than the national average, and occupations such as managerial and professional occupations are below the national average.

For District-wide (Parish) analysis, see below.
Introduction
7.22 The Rural White Paper highlighted the importance of retaining local services and facilities within villages. Settlements containing a range of services and facilities are arguably more sustainable than settlements without. In recent years some areas have suffered from a decline in services and facilities. This is largely thought to be a result of the increased numbers of large supermarkets offering competitive prices and broader product ranges whilst being easily accessed by the private car, in addition to home owners using other services and facilities outside of their local settlements. Retaining life services and facilities in smaller communities is essential for those residents who are unable to access services and facilities elsewhere. Facilities such as convenience stores, public houses and post offices to name but a few are fundamental not just to the quality of every-day life for residents of rural settlements, but also to the vitality and viability of the settlements themselves, often providing a focal point in the community.
7.23 Another basic social requirement for residents of the District is the provision of recreation and community facilities. The planning system has a key role to play in assessing the opportunities and needs for sport, recreation and community facilities, and the safeguarding of open space with recreational value. Through Local Plans (and subsequently, Local Development Frameworks) adequate land and water resources should be allocated for both organised sport and informal recreation.
7.24 There are currently no Core indicators for Local Service provision, however useful information is still available, and is worth analysing in order to give an indication of the current situation within West Lindsey. 40 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
Settlement Services and Facilities Audit.
7.25 During 2006, West Lindsey District Council carried out an Audit to provide up-to- date information on the services and facilities to be found in Settlements defined in Policy STRAT 3 – ‘Settlement Hierarchy’ of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review 2006, and in the wider Parish areas of the 124 Rural Parishes that make up West Lindsey. The audit did not consider the services and facilities contained within the three towns of Caistor, Market Rasen and Gainsborough, as it is intended that these areas will be subject to separate audits.
7.26 This work built on, and updated a less detailed audit undertaken in 2004, and was subsequently amended in December 2007 in order to take account of the announced rationalisation of Post Office services across the Country, and to allow the addition of a new settlement in the form of the privatised housing adjacent to RAF Scampton. The 2006 Audit (incorporating the 2007 amendment) forms a key component of the Evidence Base for the emerging Local Development Framework, by identifying those areas that lack key local services and facilities, and those locations which are likely to prove more sustainable.
7.27 The 2007 amendment, being only minor in nature, was incorporated only into the Appendices of the 2006 Audit (see Appendix 4), and thus the main body of the document and its associated analysis remained unchanged. As such, when assessing these updates to the Appendices of the 2006 Services and Facilities Audit, the following key points can be identified:
The Positives…
• 51% or just over half of all rural Parishes have a Village Hall. • 42% of Parishes have a Public House. • 85% of Parishes have access to a Place of Worship. • 63 Parishes have access to Library services through the provision of mobile and fixed services.
The Negatives…
• 71% of Parishes do not have a Village Shop/Convenience Store. • Nine Parishes with a 2001 Census population of over 500 do not contain a Village Shop/Convenience Store. • Only 28% of Parishes have a Rural Post Office. • There are only 16 Garages selling petrol across the entire District (excluding the towns of Gainsborough, Market Rasen and Caistor). • 66% of Parishes do not have access to recreation facilities in terms of playing fields. • 86% of Parishes do not have a locally based GP/Doctors Surgery. • There is only one Bank in the District located outside of the three towns and only 10 Parishes have access to a Cashpoint.
7.28 It is clear that there is a continuing problem of access to services and facilities in the rural parishes. The problem of accessing services and facilities that meet resident’s day to day needs is a situation that needs to be addressed, and in recent years has been acknowledged by European, National and Local Government, who have made resources and funds available to tackle the problem of rural accessibility.
41 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
7.29 The 2006 (including 2007 amendment) Audit tables in Appendix 4 obviously show that there is a strong relationship between the population size of a particular Settlement/Parish and the likelihood of there being for instance a Village Shop, Post Office, Petrol Station or any of the other facilities surveyed in the Audit. In essence, Settlements/Parishes with small populations are less likely to have an adequate range of facilities meeting daily needs, compared with those Settlements/Parishes with larger populations. Nevertheless, the Audit does quite clearly show some often dramatic differences in the provision of services and facilities in Settlements/Parishes with roughly the same population.
7.30 Even though it is never going to be possible to provide a comprehensive range of essential facilities in a District as large and as sparsely populated as West Lindsey (with some Parishes having a population of less than 50 and some hamlets having only a handful of people), there is hope that service provision can be extended in the future. The Audit has however highlighted a growing and positive trend over recent years with services being combined in order to continue to survive. There are numerous examples of this across West Lindsey, but most notably in Corringham, where the Post Office is housed in a Butchers Shop and the Village Shop/Convenience Store is to be found in a Petrol Filling Station. Mobile services such as libraries, Hairdressers and shops also provide facilities to the more remote Parishes of the District while keeping costs to a minimum.
7.31 As mentioned previously, the information included within the 2006 Services and Facilities Audit (incorporating the 2007 amendment) is therefore intended to provide vital evidence to inform the preparation of the West Lindsey Local Development Framework (LDF), and in particular will help inform the debate in the future on the Settlement Hierarchy approach to the location of new development within the District, in order to ensure growth takes place in the most sustainable locations, where there are sufficient local services and facilities to support such growth. This is particularly important when having regard to the rural nature of West Lindsey, and the unrealistic prospect of providing such facilities across the breadth of the District.
Accessibility Audit
7.32 The West Lindsey Accessibility Audit was completed in May 2007. It is intended to accompany the Services and Facilities Audit, and provide an up-to-date picture of the modes of transport available to the settlements and Parishes of West Lindsey which can be utilised to access services and facilities outside of local communities. As such, the Audit gives a broad indication of the accessibility of the different settlements/Parishes (in terms of alternatives to the private car), which will in turn inform the debate on the Settlement Hierarchy to be prepared as part of the West Lindsey Local Development Framework. It should be noted that whilst the Audit looks at the transport opportunities in settlements/parishes, it does not provide detail about the frequency of such transport opportunities, which is evidently a key factor in how accessible services and facilities are outside of local communities, and particularly pertinent for those residents who do not have access to a private car. More details of the findings of the Accessibility Audit are provided in Section 8 - ‘Transport’.
42 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
Open Spaces and Recreational Allocations
7.33 Open spaces within a settlement are as important as the buildings in giving a settlement its unique character and form. They provide welcome breaks in the street scene and many allow views of the surrounding open countryside to be enjoyed within the settlement. In order to ensure the character of settlements is retained and to prevent development cramming, 191 areas of Important Open Space have been allocated across the District.
7.34 These areas of Important Open Space often protect existing playing fields and recreational areas, but the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review has also allocated six specific areas of land for Recreational Area Allocations (and 3 settlements where the provision of new recreational facilities is connected with the development of allocated housing sites). The sites identified do not necessarily require facilitating development to occur in order for them to be developed. They have been identified as schemes that the local communities are already developing. Allocating land is the first step in allowing schemes to move forward and often aids grant funding.
7.35 The Council intends to progress an Open Space Study in line with the requirements and guidance set out in PPG17 (Planning for Open Space, Sport and Recreation) in the near future, in order to inform policy production in later Development Plan Documents as part of the formulation of the Local Development Framework.

Introduction
8.1 An increased use of public transport and other modes would reduce the number of vehicles on the road, resulting in a reduced level of congestion and pollution. Although, in West Lindsey it is arguably difficult to be fully reliant on public transport due to the widespread, sparsely populated, rural nature of the District.
8.2 The aim of both the Council and Central Government is to encourage the use of environmentally friendly transport, and promote alternative modes of transport to the private car where available, creating a more sustainable transport system.
8.3 Through the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review the Council wishes to maximise the use of alternative modes of transport by locating the majority of new development in or adjacent to existing urban areas where a greater range of transport modes exists to allow for transport choice.
8.4 There are no longer any Core Indicators to report on for Transport / Accessibility to services and facilities, nevertheless, it is important to analyse such information, particularly within the context of a rural District.
8.5 Whilst the Council’s policies contained within the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review do not restrict major development to the three market towns of Gainsborough, Market Rasen and Caistor, these locations may often be the preferred choice due to the existing range of transport modes serving these settlements and the proximity of the probable workforce/users. These three towns as evidenced in sections 6 & 7 are where the Council is aiming to focus the majority of new residential, employment and retail development as they have the widest range of life services to sustain residents without the need to travel.
Car Parking Standards
8.6 Planning applications in West Lindsey are considered against Appendix 9 Vehicle and Cycle Parking Standards of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review in order to ensure a consistent standard is applied across the District. 44 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
West Lindsey Accessibility Audit (2007)
8.7 The West Lindsey Accessibility Audit was completed in June 2007. The purpose of the Audit is to provide up-to-date information on the transportation services available in the Settlements defined in Policy STRAT 3 – ‘Settlement Hierarchy’ of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review 2006, and in the wider areas of the 124 Rural Parishes that make up West Lindsey. The information included within the Audit is intended to provide vital evidence to inform the preparation of the West Lindsey Local Development Framework (LDF), and in particular will help inform debate on the Settlement Hierarchy approach to the location of new development within the District amongst other issues. The Audit does not consider the transportation services available to the 3 towns of Gainsborough, Caistor and Market Rasen, as it is intended that these areas will be subject to separate audits in the near future.
8.8 The Accessibility Audit 2007 should be read in conjunction with the Services and Facilities Audit 2006 (including 2007 amendment). As set out in Section 7 (Part 3) the Services and Facilities Audit acknowledges the importance of the provision of services close to where people live, contributing to a sustainable pattern of development which is a core principle of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review, and will be carried forward into the Local Development Framework. The Accessibility Audit adds to the Services and Facilities Audit by looking at how accessible settlements are to each other (and therefore their service and facilities) without the use of, and reliance upon a personal car.
8.9 The results from the Accessibility Audit 2007 highlight the continuing problem of a lack of access to regular scheduled bus services for many of the small rural settlements across the District - although the study does also highlight that there are other frequent and flexible services available to residents across much of the District. There were instances however of settlements not having access to any form of public transport or taxi service.
8.10 The main points to come out of the 2007 Study were:
• 64% of Settlements has access to a scheduled Stagecoach service. • 36% didn’t have access to a scheduled Stagecoach service, however of these 36%, 71% had an alternative bus service , i.e. Call Connect or Interconnect. • 3% of settlements had no access to any public transport of any description or taxi service and had to rely on walking or cycling to access other settlements. • Saxilby was the only settlement that had a rail service (although other settlements could access Gainsborough and Saxilby rail services by walking, cycling or bus. • 15% of settlements were not within walking distance of another.
When looking at this Audit in conjunction with the Services and Facilities Audit 2006, it becomes apparent that many of these settlements do not have an adequate range of facilities to meet the inhabitant’s daily needs, and also do not have the means to access those available in other settlements without the use of a private car. Furthermore, frequency of services is not considered in the Audit, so it is also important to note that whilst it may appear that some settlements have relatively good access to other settlements, the frequency of the available transport may not improve accessibility a great deal if services are particularly limited. 45 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
Contextual Indicators – Transport Profile
8.11 Choice of transport to work in West Lindsey is predominantly by car (Table 15). This illustrates the rural nature of the district and the reliance on private transport rather than the use of public transport options. West Lindsey has an average 9% higher use of private car and van use than the national figure and generally shows under-average use of public transport alternatives.

Introduction
9.1 Flood Risk has become increasingly important given the expected rise in sea levels, possible increases in storm activity and other changes in weather patterns arising from anticipated climate change. PPS25 (December 2006) has also increased the need to consider this issue as a key element of sustainability, and flood risk is a material consideration in decision making on planning applications.
9.2 Built development in flood risk areas may impede or divert the flow of floodwater, also development on or adjacent to floodplains can reduce the capacity of the floodplain to manage floodwaters, and have the potential to adversely affect water quality. The Council will allow development in areas of actual flood risk only where it is necessary for regeneration purposes or where it can be shown that it must be located in the flood risk area (and in both cases a clear mitigation strategy is in place). On advice from the Environment Agency the Council will impose conditions requiring the most rigorous flood defence measures.

9.3 The Council takes due regard of the advice provided by the Environment Agency concerning flooding and takes a strong line in respect of development likely to be at risk or to exacerbate flooding concerns.
9.4 Full information on flood risk is contained within the West Lindsey Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA, 2009) carried out by AECOM. The assessment covers the whole of the district and represents the most up to date and reliable
47 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
information on development and flood risk that is available in the District. It can be viewed at the Council’s main office or online at www.west-lindsey.gov.uk/sfra. The assessment was created in partnership with the Environment Agency and a number of other key stakeholders including neighbouring local authorities. A review of the Lincoln Policy Area SFRA is also currently underway, due for publication in 2010. There will be some overlap in the area covered in this document with the West Lindsey SFRA and therefore both Councils are working together to ensure consistency.
9.5 A Level One SFRA has been carried out for the entire district with a more detailed Level Two assessment for four specific study areas. PPS25 states that Level Two studies (which also take account the future effects of climate change) are necessary where development is planned or for sites of strategic importance. To this end, Gainsborough, Market Rasen, Saxilby and Bardney were selected for Level Two assessments. The first two were selected due to their township status and known presence of flood risk. Future development in each of these areas is likely and some of the existing allocated sites, notably the brownfield sites adjacent to the River Trent in Gainsborough, have particular flood risk issues.
9.6 Saxilby and Bardney were selected as two further study areas for Level Two assessments to ascertain whether further developments in these areas would be acceptable on flood risk grounds. This will inform site selection process at the next allocations stage and help guide where an exceptions test is required.
9.7 A West Lindsey Water Cycle Study is recommended in the SFRA and such a study is also a requirement for Growth Point locations. A study is therefore due to commence in the next monitoring period.

Introduction
10.1 In recent years there has been an unprecedented development pressure on the traditional landscapes and wildlife habitats found in the natural environment. The realisation that so much has been lost, in terms of landscape quality and ecological value has resulted in a growing awareness of the need to safeguard the natural beauty of the countryside for its own sake. Not only in the specially designated areas (these are the areas where the landscape is considered particularly special, including The Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and areas identified to be of Great Landscape Value). The protection and improvement of the environment has great relevance for the countryside which in terms of area is by far the majority of West Lindsey.
10.2 The Council aims to protect and enhance the natural environment by affording protection to Biodiversity through mechanisms such as the Lincolnshire Biodiversity Action Plan. It also seeks to protect woodlands and wider landscape character.

10.3 Aside from West Lindsey’s partnership working in relation to the Lincolnshire Biodiversity Action Plan, there is no system currently in place to monitor change in habitats and species by type (a previous indicator which has now been removed from the Core Output Indicator set). At present there is no baseline data, and no immediate prospect of providing data to show a change over time in this field.
49 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
Landscape Designations
10.4 Within the District there is part of the designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB); The Lincolnshire Wolds. The AONB, designated in 1973, covers about 156 square kilometres (60 square miles) of the eastern part of the District to the north-east of Market Rasen and east of Caistor. The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CRoW Act) created a new statutory duty for all AONB Local Authorities to publish and review AONB Management Plans. The Lincolnshire Wolds AONB Management Plan (2004-09), complements policies in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review and helps to formulate partnership policies, and action for protecting and enhancing this special place. The Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service are currently undertaking a review of the AONB Management Plan (to take it forward to 2009-14) in order to ensure that this document continues to be the key reference point when undertaking work or strategies within or adjacent to the AONB.
10.5 The Countryside within West Lindsey consists of a variety of landscapes, which when combined together; produce a landscape of unique character and pattern. Outside of the statutorily designated Lincolnshire Wolds AONB there are a number of landscape elements within the District which are of particular long-standing importance to the District. Areas of Great Landscape Value (AGLV) were first designated in the 1952 Lindsey County Development Plan and have been carried forward ever since in subsequent development plans. In order to justify the retention of this local designation West Lindsey commissioned a Landscape Character Assessment in 1999 (amplified further into the Countryside Design Summary supplementary planning guidance published in 2003) which provides a thorough and robust justification for retaining this local landscape designation. The AGLV includes the Lincoln Cliff, land adjoining and extending north and west from the AONB and the land to the north, east and south of Gainsborough.
10.6 Central Government aims to protect Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSl’s) and National Nature Reserves (NNR’s) in order to meet international obligations for nature conservation, and to sustain or enhance the bio-diversity of the wider countryside. SSSI’s have been afforded statutory protection under British law; such is their national importance that the Council believes that development should only be permitted in exceptional circumstances, where there is a national interest which cannot be met in another location. Fourteen SSSI’s have been designated in West Lindsey, being mostly woodland in the south-east quadrant of the District, but other habitats, e.g. ponds and quarries are included. Only one of these SSSI’s has also been designated as a National Nature Reserve within West Lindsey, the Bardney Lime Woods (Wickenby Wood) which is in a favourable condition according to Natural England when it was last surveyed. The latest figures compiled by Natural England in 2008 show that in West Lindsey, 81.3% of the land designated as SSSI is in either ‘Favourable’ or ‘Recovering’ condition. This represents a slight improvement from figures calculated in previous years.
10.7 Planning and other legislation enables the designation of various categories of sites of nature conservation; this includes international, national, regional and local. Local Designations do not have the benefit of statutory protection; however the Council is of the view that the protection of only statutory sites would not be sufficient to enable the satisfactory protection of wildlife interest in West Lindsey. Since the 1970’s Sites of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCIs) and Local
50 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
Nature Reserves (LNRs) have been identified by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and others on the basis of good knowledge, but without assessment against any formal criteria. Many of these sites have not been visited for at least twenty years. There are also nine identified Regionally Important Geological or Geomorphological Sites (RIGs) and forty two Ancient Woodlands within West Lindsey, which have been designated by Natural England.
Local Wildlife Sites Review
10.8 The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review 2006 identifies 166 locally designated sites (SNCIs & LNRs etc), which are now referred to as ‘Local Wildlife Sites’ (LWSs) in accordance with national guidance produced by the Department of the Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). Planning Policy Statement 9 ‘Biodiversity and Geological Conservation’ includes a recognition of the need for Development Plan Policies and planning decisions to be based on up-to-date information about the environmental characteristics of an area, and a requirement for the identification of Local Wildlife Sites on Proposals Maps in Local Development Plans Documents.
10.9 Of the 166 sites shown in the Local Plan First Review; 43 were surveyed in 2004/2005 under previous projects. In February 2007, a two year contract was awarded to consultants ‘White Young Green’ to review the remaining 124 ‘Local Wildlife Sites’ in West Lindsey. The sites are being surveyed over 2007 and 2008, with a final report expected in late 2009. PPS 9 requires all surveys to be completed by 2010.
10.10 The surveys follow guidelines produced by the Wildlife Sites Review Group (a sub- group of the Lincolnshire Biodiversity Action Plan Partnership) in 2006. These guidelines are currently being reviewed. Once the sites have been surveyed and reviewed they will also be put before the Local Wildlife Sites Panel’s selection process.
The Lincolnshire Bio-diversity Action Plan
10.11 The Second Lincolnshire Bio-diversity Action Plan (BAP) was launched in November 2006 with the aim of conserving the most threatened species and habitats in the historic County of Lincolnshire (includes North and North East Lincolnshire). The BAP is a document containing 41 habitat and species action plans that set targets to safeguard and restore some of the counties declining wildlife. The action taken in this plan contributes to the achievement of national targets for biodiversity conservation. As outlined previously, the BAP Partnership also aids in the assessment and monitoring of Local Wildlife Sites as designated in the Local Plan.

This figure represents a decrease in emissions from 9.50ktco2 from the previous year.
Introduction
10.12 Through the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review the Council seeks to reflect the recent international thrust to conserve energy and embrace renewable energy creating methods in order to tackle climate change. Although the Council encourages the development of renewable energy resources, no development is without environmental impact. Full consideration of the natural and built environment must be fully assessed against any proposal. This is particularly important in terms of wind farms, which are primarily restricted to those areas of the highest most reliable wind speed. In West Lindsey these areas are found in the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where the environmental impact of these structures is likely to be high.
10.13 The last available estimates of Co2 emissions for West Lindsey, published by DEFRA in 2006, show a total emissions per capita figure 8.93 ktco2. This represents a 6% decrease in emissions on the previous year estimate of 9.50ktco2.

10.15 Update on the previous AMR: The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review allocated an area of 0.70 hectares at Church Farm, Harpswell for a Bio-mass Renewable Energy demonstration project (reference Hp[M]1). However at a meeting of the Planning Committee held on 12th November 2008 the application was refused on the grounds that part of the proposal lay outside the allocated site Hp(M)1 and as such constituted development in the open countryside. It was also not demonstrated to be essential to the needs of agriculture or forestry.

Introduction
10.16 PPG15 (Planning and the Historic Environment) and PPG16 (Archaeology and Planning) deal with specific issues relating to the historic and archaeological environments. The East Midlands Regional Plan (2009) advocates that new development in the natural and built environment should reflect regional and local distinctiveness, and the protection, management and enhancement of the East Midlands should be integral considerations in decisions on development.
10.17 The Council through the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review aims to protect Conservation Areas, Listed Buildings, archaeological remains and the built environment generally. There are currently no National Core Indicators in respect of the Built Environment.
Conservation
10.18 The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act empowers the Council to designate Conservation Areas which are specific areas that are considered to be of special architectural interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. The District contains 25 Conservation Areas, where the Council will ensure that any development is appropriate, well designed and sympathetic to the character of the area. All 25 conservation areas have adopted Conservation Area Appraisals in the form of Supplementary Planning Guidance, although only three of these are up-to-date at present, with more currently under review during the 2008/09 monitoring period. All Conservation Area Appraisals will be reviewed in a rolling programme to ensure they are up-to-date in line with BVPI (219b) targets.
10.19 The Council has a duty to consider the desirability of preserving and enhancing Listed Buildings. The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act
53 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
defines the grades of Listed Building. Grade 1 buildings are of exceptional interest and nationally account for only 2% of all Listed Buildings. Grade 2* buildings are important buildings which are of more than special interest. The remainder are Grade 2 and are of special interest. There are 810 Grade 2 listed buildings in West Lindsey and of these, 36 are included on the ‘Listed Buildings at Risk Register’.
10.20 There is a relatively high number of sites containing archaeological interest in West Lindsey reflecting the rich history of the District. Some sites are considered to be of special importance because they are a fine or interesting example from a particular period. Such sites or structures are known as Scheduled Ancient Monuments (SAMs) of which there are 102 within the District. As well as the SAMs, there remain many other sites which are of archaeological interest and it is the Council’s intention to protect West Lindsey’s archaeological heritage by offering protection to not just the SAMs but to other sites of varying importance within the District.
10.21 English Heritage maintains the statutory list of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest. In addition, the Council has undertaken research and identified a further list of parks, gardens or other formally laid out areas in the District. Whilst these areas may not have the special historic interest that is attached to those identified by English Heritage, they are important to the District because of their local historical significance and/or visual effect of their formal layout. The Council will not permit development which would harm the character, appearance, setting or features of the 4 English Heritage designated and 52 locally designated Historic Parks and Gardens in West Lindsey.

APPENDIX 1 – LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK CORE OUTPUT INDICATORS*
Introduction
*Taken from CLG’s ‘Regional Spatial Strategy and Local Development Framework Core Output Indicators – Update 2/2008’ (July 2008). Refer to Update 2/2008 for the detailed definitions underpinning the Core Output Indicators listed below.
Unless specified, figures are monitored for the whole Local Authority area. They are measured on an annual basis for the period 1st April to 31st March in terms of new development, schemes or production occurring (where such schemes are either approved or completed/developed). In many components of the West Lindsey Annual Monitoring Report, the required Core Output Indicators are supplemented by additional information (and other National Indicators) in order to give a more detailed picture of ‘spatial planning outcomes’ in the District over the monitoring period.
The recent revision of Core Output indicators in Update 2/2008 is predominantly limited to the rationalisation, clarification and update of indicator definitions to reflect current government guidance, and the establishment of a new set of National Indicators. Whilst published outside of the current monitoring period, Update 2/2008 should be taken into account, where possible, in the 2007/08 AMR. The majority of changes should have minimal impact on existing data collection and reporting processes. Of course, the removal of indicators from the Core Output Indicator set should not prevent their future collection and reporting within the AMR where they are necessary to monitor the implementation of spatial strategies or to reflect requirements of other government guidance. Indeed, useful information based on previous Indicators is still provided in the Transport and Local Services sections of the West Lindsey AMR for example. Nevertheless, the key changes in the July 2008 update are set out at the end of this appendix for reference purposes:
Business Development and Town Centres
• BD1: Total amount of additional employment floorspace – by type; To show the amount and type of completed employment floorspace (gross and net) (Floorspace should be measured in ‘gross internal’ square meters). Employment floorspace type is defined by the Use Class Orders B1 (a), B1 (b), B1 (c), B2 and B8. • BD2: Total amount of employment floorspace on previously developed land – by type; To show the amount and type of completed employment floorspace (gross) coming forward on previously developed land (PDL) as defined in Annex B of PPS3 (express as percentage). • BD3: Employment land available – by type; To show the amount and type of employment land available (hectares). Land available should include (i) sites allocated for employment uses in Development Plan Documents, and (ii) sites for which planning permission has been
56 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
granted for employment uses, but not included in (i). Employment land and uses are defined as Use Class Order B1 (a), B1 (b), B1 (c), B2 and B8. • BD4: Total amount of floorspace for ‘town centre uses’; To show the amount of completed floorspace (gross and net) for town centre uses within (i) town centre areas (as defined by Local Planning Authorities) and (ii) the local authority area. Town centre uses are defined as Use Class Orders A1, A2, B1a, and D2.
Housing
• H1: Plan period and housing targets; To show the planned housing period and provision. This should identify the source of the housing target used in the housing trajectory and the total amount of housing planned to be delivered over the period. Where there is more than one plan applying across the housing trajectory, details should also be provided. • H2(a): Net additional dwellings – in previous years; To show recent levels of housing delivery. Figures should be provided annually for the previous five year period or since the start of the relevant plan period, whichever is the longer. • H2(b): Net additional dwellings – for the reporting year; To show levels of housing delivery for the reporting year. ‘Net additional dwellings’ are calculated as new build completions, minus demolitions, plus any gains or losses through change of use and conversions. A dwelling is defined (in line with the 2001 Census definition) as a self contained unit of accommodation. • H2(c): Net additional dwellings – in future years; To show likely future levels of housing delivery. This aspect of the trajectory should illustrate the level of net additional housing expected to come forward over at least a 15 year period or up to the end of the plan period, whichever is the longer. The 5 year period starting after the current monitoring year should set out the net additional dwellings expected to come forward each year over the period, from ready to develop sites identified as part of the plan’s approach to housing. This information should be accompanied by the (i) area (in hectares) and (ii) the annualised plan target applying to each of the five years. The remaining period of the 15 year trajectory should identify the net additional dwellings expected to come forward each year, from developable sites and (where appropriate) broad locations identified as part of the plan’s approach to housing. • H2(d): Managed delivery target; To show how likely levels of future housing are expected to come forward taking into account the previous years performance - The net additional dwellings expected to come forward each year over the remaining plan period to meet the overall housing requirement set out in the relevant development plan document. This should take into account the previous delivery of net additional dwellings since the start of the plan period. • H3: New and converted dwellings – on previously developed land; To show the number of gross new dwellings being built upon previously developed land (PDL). This indicator should report only those gross completions (new build dwellings plus gains from change 57 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
of use and conversions) on PDL as a total of all gross completions (express as percentage). • H4: Net additional pitches (Gypsy and Traveller); To show the number of Gypsy and Traveller pitches delivered. Transit and permanent pitches should be identified separately. Only authorised pitches should be counted. • H5: Gross affordable housing completions; To show affordable housing delivery (total supply of social rent housing and intermediate housing, as set out in PPS3 – ‘Planning Policy Statement 3’) Affordable housing is measured in gross terms i.e. the number of dwellings completed, through new build, acquisitions and conversions. This does not take account of losses through sales of affordable housing and demolitions. • H6: Housing Quality – Building for Life Assessments; To show the level of quality in new housing development. The number and proportion of total new build completions on housing sites reaching very good, good, average and poor ratings against the (CABE) ‘Building for Life’ criteria. A housing site should only be included where it involves at least 10 new dwellings that have been completed.
Environmental Quality
• E1: Number of planning permissions granted contrary to Environment Agency advice on flooding and water quality grounds; To show numbers of developments which are potentially located where (i) they would be at risk of flooding or increase the risk of flooding elsewhere and, (ii) adversely affect water quality. This information should only include unresolved objections from the Environment Agency. • E2: Change in areas of biodiversity importance; To show losses or additions to biodiversity habitat. This should include Sites of Special Scientific Interest, Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation and other local sites. • E3: Renewable energy generation; To show the amount of renewable energy generation by installed capacity and type. Installed capacity (megawatts) should be reported for (a) renewable energy developments / installations granted planning permission and (b) completed renewable energy developments / installations. Only on- shore renewable energy developments / installations should be reported. This does not include any developments / installations permitted by a general development order.
Minerals (For Mineral Planning Authorities and RPBs only)
• M1: Production of primary land won aggregates by mineral planning authority; Figures should be provided in tonnes, and aggregates broken into categories. • M2: Production of secondary and recycled aggregates by mineral planning authority; (in addition to primary won sources). Recycled aggregate is construction, demolition and excavation waste recycled for use as aggregate.
58 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09
Waste (For Waste Planning Authorities and RPBs only)
• W1: Capacity of new waste management facilities by waste planning authority; To show the capacity and operational throughput of new waste management facilities as applicable (cubic meters, tonnes or litres). • W2: Amount of municipal waste arising, and managed by management type by waste planning authority; To show the amount of municipal waste arising and how that is being managed by type (tonnes).
Key Changes in the 2/2008 Update to Core Output Indicators:
Removed Indicators:
• 1e Losses of employment land in (i) employment/regeneration areas and (ii) local authority area. • 1f Amount of employment land lost to residential development • 2c Percentage of new housing densities • 3a Amount of completed non residential development complying with car parking standards • 3b amount of new residential development within 30 minutes of key services • 4c Amount of eligible open spaces managed to green flag award standard • 8 (i) change in priority habitats and species by type

APPENDIX 2 - WEST LINDSEY ANNUAL HOUSING SUPPLY ASSESSMENT
INTRODUCTION
West Lindsey occupies the north-western corner of Lincolnshire. It is a large district covering an area of 1,156 square kilometres (447 square miles) of predominantly open countryside, much of which is arable land. West Lindsey has a sparsely populated rural landscape of some charm, which includes areas of recognised landscape beauty and 100 or so villages of great variety. The largest settlement is the market and industrial town of Gainsborough, in the west, with approximately 20,000 inhabitants. In the eastern part of the District, lie the two smaller attractive market towns of Caistor and Market Rasen. Adjoining the southern boundary of the District is the City of Lincoln.
For the purposes of allocating land for housing, in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review, the Council’s strategy was to concentrate most large-scale new residential development in the urban areas. In terms of the Annual Housing Supply Assessment these areas are: Gainsborough, Caistor and Market Rasen (inc. Middle Rasen).
This approach is designed to promote full and effective use of land within the urban areas to assist in their regeneration, as well as relieving pressure for development in the countryside. It does however allow for modest new housing development in the villages, to help sustain rural communities and their services and facilities, whilst seeking to protect the best of the environment and areas of character. It will help ensure that jobs and homes are reasonably close to each other.
Prior to the 2001 study the Housing Provision figures for the district of West Lindsey were broken down into 3 policy sub-areas as follows: Towns – Gainsborough (including Morton and Lea), Market Rasen (including Middle Rasen) and Caistor; the parts of West Lindsey included in the Lincoln Travel to Work Area (TTWA); and the rest of the district, being called the Rural Area in this document.
Since 2001 the policy sub area split has been the Towns, but no longer including Lea and Morton, the Lincoln Policy Area and the Rural Area. The Lincoln Policy Area differs from the TTWA in that it is more closely focussed upon the hinterland of the City. For ease of reference the following tables and schedules have been re-organised into these policy sub- areas.
60 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09 Housing Supply in the District
The appropriate methodology for assessing housing supply used to be set out in an annex of Planning Policy Guidance 3 (PPG3) – Housing. However this is no longer the case under the new Planning Policy Statement 3 (PPS3) – Housing which was published in December 2006.
This Housing Supply Assessment sets out the supply against the following example scenarios:
1 Adopted Local Plan Review requirements;
2 Recent average build rates; and
3 The Draft Regional Plan requirements. Note: These were the latest available figures at the start of the 2008/09 monitoring period. This was subsequently replaced in March 2009 with the publication of the East Midlands Regional Plan. Further details are contained with example 3

Example 2 - Assessment against average build rates 2001 – 2008/09
Towns Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2008/09 (8 Years) have been 229 dwellings. The remaining supply of 2,815 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 12.3 years supply.
Caistor Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2008/09 (8 Years) have been 11 dwellings. The remaining supply of 358 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 32.5 years supply.
Gainsborough Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2008/09 (8 Years) have been 149 dwellings. The remaining supply of 2,110 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 14.2 years supply.
Market Rasen Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2008/09 (8 Years) have been 70 dwellings. The remaining supply of 347 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 5.0 years supply.
Lincoln Policy Area Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2008/09 (8 Years) have been 268 dwellings. The remaining supply of 1,288 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 4.8 years supply.
Rural Area Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2008/09 (8 Years) have been 173 dwellings. The remaining supply of 553 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 3.2 years supply.
District Wide Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2008/09 (8 Years) have been 667 dwellings. The remaining supply of 4,656 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 7.0 years supply.

Example 3 – Assessment against Draft Regional Plan Requirements
For consistency with the previous Annual Housing Supply Assessment, below is an assessment against the requirements proposed in the Draft East Midlands Regional Plan.
At the end of this monitoring period, in March 2009, the East Midlands regional Plan was published. Regional housing requirement figures in the published version differed to those outlined in the Draft.
The new housing requirement figure for West Lindsey does not include contributions from parts of the PUA (Principle Urban Area) that lie in the District (including completions, commitments, urban capacity and potential urban extensions). Instead, a combined total is provided for the PUA. The Regional Plan states that the PUA total must be redistributed within the Central Lincolnshire Housing Market Area; which is comprised of West Lindsey, North Kesteven and the City of Lincoln.
To date there is yet to be an agreed split on the PUA total to break it down to Local Authority levels. Therefore, it is currently not possible to establish a definitive annual requirement for the District as a whole. It is anticipated that by the 2009/10 monitoring period this will have been resolved and this section of the next Annual Housing Supply Assessment will be replaced with an assessment against the agreed District requirement.
Against the superseded Draft Regional Plan supply is as follows:
District Wide
The Average Annual Requirement proposed in the Draft RSS8 is 552 per annum. Therefore the supply of 4,656 dwellings would represent 8.4 years supply. (NB 2001-2008/09 supply has been above this emerging profile so there would be no shortfall/backlog to address).
Lincoln Policy Area
The Average Annual Requirement proposed in the Draft RSS8 is 170 per annum. Therefore against the Lincoln Policy Area supply of 1,288 dwellings would represent 7.6 years supply. (NB 2001-2008/09 supply has been above this emerging profile so there would be no shortfall/backlog to address).

Notes:
All completions in the District are either on sites allocated in the West Lindsey Local Plan, or they are completions on windfall sites.
Figures in the Change of Use/Conversion, Brownfield and Replacement columns are subset figures drawn from both the allocated and windfall categories for information purposes only and do not form part of the Housing Land Availability calculation.
LPA - Lincoln Policy Area, this area differs from the Travel To Work Area and is in line with the current work on the Lincoln Policy Area Alteration to the Replacement Lincolnshire Structure Plan.
Brownfield land is the sum of completions in the Change of Use/Conversion, replacement and vacant previously developed land categories.

2001 – 2001 Census Figures for the Population of Parish Areas; this is the lowest level which information is available.
2006 Estimate – Based upon housing completions for each settlement 2001-2006 multiplied by 2.1 persons per household it is possible to give an unofficial estimated 2006 population for the base date of the LDF. It is important to emphasise that this is an unofficial estimate as it does not take into account any population decline which may have occurred during this period as that information is not available.
