Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing

1. Housing requirement - Is there a sound rationale for the identified housing requirement of 10,350 new homes over the Plan period?

(i) Does the demographic and economic-led housing forecast ( SD55 NLP Assessment of Housing Requirements Paper ) provide a robust and credible basis for setting the Plan’s housing requirement?

1.1 Newport’s housing requirement level was identified using NLP’s HEaDROOM Assessment (SD55). NLP’s HEaDROOM Assessment has been utilised in over 120 authorities throughout the UK and has been found to be robust by Inspectors.

1.2 The HEaDROOM Assessment method tested 5 core scenarios which considered both demographic and economic factors. In addition to this, a range of sensitivity tests relating to unemployment, migration and the impact of the 2011 Census were also undertaken in order to provide a clear understanding of the ways in which alternative variables might impact upon the final dwelling requirement.

1.3 The HEaDROOM Assessment drew upon the latest information available and included consideration of cross-boundary issues. To ensure consistency within the LDP’s evidence- base the HEaDROOM Assessment utilised the same Experian economic forecasting which was used in the Employment Land Review (SD65).

1.4 The LDP’s housing requirement level is based upon an economic -led scenario and seeks to achieve an alignment with Newport’s positive economic growth strategy. In essence this approach seeks to recognise the economic realities at play and will help to ensure sufficient housing is provided to meet likely demand from those working in the area.

1.5 This positive approach is consistent with Planning Policy Wales’ emphasis on promoting economic development and para 7.1.3 of PPW which states that wherever possible LPAs should align jobs and services with housing. It is also consistent with recent Ministerial Statements which seek to increase the supply of housing. Therefore it does form a robust and credible basis for setting the Plan’s housing requirement.

(ii) Does the Experian Business Strategies economic growth forecast of 7,400 new jobs created in Newport between 2011 and 2026 provide a suitably reliable and authoritative basis for estimating economic growth over the Plan period?

1.6 Both the Housing and Employment Evidence bases share a common economic projection, independently prepared by Experian Business Strategies.

1.7 This common evidence base is supported in Planning Policy Wales (Edition 6), which requires a joined up approach to housing and employment evidence (P 7.1.3). PPW requires development plans to try and align economic and housing policies where possible.

1.8 With this in mind the Experian forecast was used to help evidence the proposed number of new homes (and so potential future labour force) but also the ‘base case’ employment targets.

1.9 Experian was used because the Welsh Government no longer provides up to date economic forecasts for Local Authorities. Experian are a widely respected economic forecasting house

Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing

and commonly used in many housing and employment evidence bases. Both NLP (housing evidence) and RTP/PBA (employment evidence) subscribe to the Experian model.

1.10 Before being used, the Experian Forecast was tested to see whether it reflected a reasonable base case economic future for Newport or whether an alternative job forecast should have been promoted. The employment land evidence found that meeting the job forecast was already a ‘step change’ in the economic fortunes for Newport.

1.11 The ELR found that Newport lost jobs over the period 1997 – 2011. Table 5.1 of the ELR (SD65) showed a loss of over 5,000 jobs over the period. The forecasts suggest a reversal of this trend; with around 7,400 new jobs being added to the stock over the plan period.

1.12 Consultations suggested that reversing the decline in local jobs and delivering positive job growth was a significant challenge. Further, any positive job growth would also be hindered by a lack of market viability to bring forward new high quality sites.

1.13 So, with this in mind, a higher (potentially more aspirational) job target was discounted. However the evidence recognises that meeting this base case would be even more challenging if sufficient homes, and new labour was not promoted in the housing evidence. Hence the shared Experian evidence.

1.14 For employment land purposes the Experian forecast is only taken as a base case. The Plan promotes more land but this overprovision has been carefully tested and its continual allocation is the result of a pragmatic approach.

1.15 Most of the land in the Plan is not new and much has already been serviced to make it available. At the time the ELR was undertaken most owners had confirmed that they were still promoting their sites for development.

(iii) Does the evidence constitute a rational basis for departing from the 2008-based WG population and household projections, having regard to the factors identified in PPW at paragraph 9.2.1?

1.16 The LDP’s housing requirement level of 10,350 dwellings is derived from an economic-led scenario (Scenario E in NLP’s HEaDROOM Assessment – SD55).

1.17 This level of housing provision seeks to achieve an alignment with the Plan’s positive economic growth strategy. It reflects the requirements in PPW (para 7.1.3) and aims to provide enough housing for the level of workforce required to attract (and sustain) the Plan’s positive economic growth objective.

1.18 The identified housing requirement is a deviation upwards from the policy neutral, trend- based 2008-based WG projections. Full justification for this is set out in NLP’s HEaDROOM Report (see para. 3.32 – 3.33) in accordance with the PPW para. 9.2.1. In summary,

Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing a) Wales Spatial Plan (WSP, Update 2008) - A deviation upwards seeks to encourage and deliver economic growth. This reflects Newport’s identification as a Key Settlement of National Significance within the WSP. b) WG latest household projections – The WG projections do not take account of specific policy objectives or future economic factors which Newport is striving for, whereas the proposed deviation does take this into account. c) Local Housing Strategies – A deviation upwards will be important in order to provide a range and choice of housing provision for all. This approach will also help to support Newport’s economy and help to ensure commuting patterns are sustainable. d) Community Strategies - A deviation upwards will be important in providing a range and choice of housing provision for all. This approach will also help to maximise the number of new affordable homes and thereby increase opportunities for community regeneration. It will also help align the LDP’s economic and housing strategies to ensure that Newport’s economy is supported and residents have the opportunity to both live and work within Newport – thereby improving the economic and sustainability profile of the City. e) The needs of the local and national economy: Achieving an alignment between housing and employment growth is important in terms of supporting the well- being of any area. The 2008 WG scenario would support less than 3,000 additional jobs – less than 40% of the number that are forecast to be created within Newport over the LDP period. Inadequate infrastructure to support these new jobs – including housing – would undermine the attractiveness of Newport and the potential to deliver future economic growth. It would also undermine the vision for the City. By contrast, the Plan’s housing requirement level draws upon an understanding of the economic future of the City and will help to ensure that sufficient workers can be accommodated to help deliver future employment growth into the City. f) Social considerations (including unmet need): LDP Policy SP10 establishes that Newport’s affordable housing requirement is 8,901 units. Pursuance of an (upward) deviation from the 2008 WG projections will help to ensure that a higher quantum of affordable housing can be delivered. g) The capacity of an area in terms of social, environmental and cultural factors to accommodate more housing : The LDP makes provision for 11,326 dwellings, of which 3,548 are presently on sites which are under construction, 2,767 are commitments and 1,172 are commitments subject to the signing of s106 agreement. This equates to a total of 7,487 units that are already committed – this is close to the level the 2008-based WG projections requirement. In addition, 1,526 dwellings are expected to come forward on allocated sites. Even allowing for the potential non-implementation of some dwellings, it is clear that there is sufficient capacity to meet the identified requirement. h) The environmental implications : The potential environmental issues are capable of being satisfactorily overcome through appropriate mitigation measures. i) The capacity of the existing or planned infrastructure: The analysis that has been undertaken by NCC has indicated that there are no infrastructure

Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing

constraints which would impact upon the delivery of residential development across the City.

1.19 This justification forms a rational basis for departing from the WG projections.

(iv) Do the latest WG projections (expected end February 2014) necessitate any adjustment of the identified Plan housing requirement?

1.20 Policy SP10 of the LDP identifies a housing requirement level of 10,350 dwellings between 2011 and 2026. This housing requirement level is a deviation upwards from both the 2008 and 2011 based WG projections and is derived from an economic-led scenario based upon an employment forecast (prepared by Experian Business Strategies). The same forecasts also informed the ELR.

1.21 The 2011 based projections were published very recently and NLP/Newport Council is in the process of obtaining the detailed PopGroup data in order for an update note to be prepared in due course.

1.22 In the interim, a comparison of the headlines between the 2008 and 2011 projections is set out below:

Table 1.1 Comparison between Newport’s 2008 and 2011 Population and Household Projections and Experian Economic Forecast Scenario

2008 2011 Projections Experian Economic Projections Forecast (Scenario E) Population (2011- 15,600 9,133 15,588 2026) Households (2011- 9,950 7,136 7,987 2026) Average Household 2011 2026 2011 2026 2011 2026 Size 2.31 2.20 2.31 2.20 2.31 2.20 Dwellings (4% vacancy 10,320 7,421 8,306 rate) Source: NLP analysis of StatsWales

1.23 The table above illustrates that the 2011-based projections result in a higher dwelling requirement level than the 2008-based projections, but this is still 2,044 dwellings below the Plan’s economic-led housing requirement level.

1.24 The latest projections are policy-neutral and draw upon past trends between 2006 and 2011. During this time, the declining household formation rate is likely to reflect constraints on housing availability and affordability (both through supply-side factors such as house building and demand-side factors such as mortgage availability and household incomes). This will have placed constraints on new households forming in the same manner as observed in previous trends, potentially leading to higher rates of concealed households, higher rates of household sharing and factors such as young adults staying at their parental home for much longer than has been seen historically.

1.25 Over a longer period NLP consider it is likely household formation will begin to ‘pick up’ again, particularly as the wider economy returns to growth, peoples' circumstances improve,

Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing

household incomes increase and there is better access to mortgage finance. Such factors will improve peoples’ confidence and ability to form a new household.

1.26 In spite of this expected future change in household formation, and because they are only trend based, the 2011 household projections anticipate a 38% lower level of increase in the number of households in Wales between 2011 and 2026 when compared to the 2008-based projections. Indeed, Newport is the only authority in Wales where the 2011 projections are shown to be higher than the 2008 based projections.

1.27 The relative levels of household change represent a function of population change and household formation. These factors are considered in turn below.

Population

1.28 The 2008-based projections indicated that Newport’s population would increase by 9,133 people between 2011 and 2026 (6.5% increase); by comparison, the 2011-based projections anticipated an additional 15,588 people in Newport over the same period (10.7% population increase). This difference is driven by variations in the assumed level of net migration, as well as changes in the demographic profile of the area:

Table 1.2 Comparison of Migration Trends in Newport in 2008 and 2011 Population Projections as well as the Experian Economic Forecast Scenario (E)

2008 based 2011 based Experian Economic Forecast (Scenario E) Net UK Migrants -70pa -151 pa +320pa (2011-2026) Net Overseas -39 pa +360pa -39pa Migrants (2011- 2026) Net Migration (2011- -109pa +209pa +281pa 2026)

Source: NLP analysis of StatsWales

1.29 It is clear from the table above that the level of population growth anticipated by the 2011 based projection is in fact very close to the economic led projection that underpins the LDP (a difference of 12 people). This indicates that if positive migration trends continue at the same rate that Newport would be on target to have a population capable of servicing the jobs it is seeking to deliver through its positive economic development policy aspirations.

Household formation

1.30 Despite the 2011-based population projections being significantly higher (70% more) than the 2008 projections, this is not reflected in the household projections. The 2011 household projections anticipate that 7,987 new households will form in Newport over the Plan period (11.7% increase), whilst the 2008-based projections indicate that 7,136 new households will form (11.9% increase). Therefore the significant population increase is not reflected in an equivalent rate of household growth.

Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing

1.31 Basing household projections upon the expected continuation of conditions that were experienced during the recession fails to reflect the Welsh Government’s objectives in respect of increasing the supply of housing and achieving economic growth. It would ignore evidence that shows how formation rates would be expected to rise as a result of economic growth and would thereby result in an underestimation of future household growth. This would conflict with the economic aspirations of the LDP.

1.32 Instead NLP consider that it is more robust to continue to apply the 2008 based household formation rates that are based on a period of economic growth closer that which the Council is aspiring to in the LDP – or at least a partial return to the longer term trends. Indeed this is the approach which has been taken, as the household formation rates used in the LDP economic led projection were derived from the 2008 based household projections.

Summary

1.33 Due to the 2011 household projections being based upon past trends which have been shaped by a period of deep economic decline they should not in NLP’s view be used as a basis for positive policy led projections. Whilst the forthcoming Note will consider the full implications of the recently published 2011 projections, NLP’s initial view is that the current LDP economic led projection remains the most robust basis for planning for future housing demand.

1.34 The 2011-based population projection for Newport closely matches the LDP economic led population projection. The household formation rates used in the LDP economic led projections were derived from the 2008 based household projections. On this basis, if the 2008 based household formation rates are applied to the updated 2011 population projections then the housing requirement figure is likely to be similar to the existing figure of 10,350.

1.35 It is apparent from the 2011-based population projections that there has been a positive change in terms of net in–migration to Newport despite difficult economic circumstances. NLP consider that it is appropriate to distinguish between the positive population projections that align with the Council’s LDP Strategy and the negative household projections that would seek to perpetuate barriers restricting access to the housing market.

(v) Would an overestimation of housing need in the Plan lead to problems in terms of implementation and realistic monitoring?

1.36 The housing requirement level in the LDP is not an overestimation of housing needs. The housing requirement level is derived from an economic-led scenario which is consistent with PPW’s aim to promote economic growth and align jobs with housing. This approach is also consistent with the Minister’s emphasis to increase the supply of housing.

1.37 The Plan requires delivery of 690 dwellings pa in order to meet the Plan’s housing requirement of 10,350 dwellings. This level of delivery is only 10-15% above the rate achieved in Newport in the 2 years prior to the economic recession (628 pa and 609pa). Therefore this approach is entirely appropriate recognising the Plan’s positive economic growth agenda. The LDP should be prepared on the basis that Newport is planning to achieve positive economic growth for the future as well as attract new investment; sufficient housing is required to support this.

Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing

1.38 On this basis, the Plan’s housing requirement level is not anticipated to lead to problems in terms of implementation or monitoring. This is particularly evident when it is noted that 3,548 dwellings (31%) of the Plan’s overall housing supply of 11,326 units are located on sites which are already under construction (as of March 2013). In addition to this, a further 35% of the supply is either already committed (2,767 units) or subject to the signing of a S106 Agreement (1,172 units).

1.39 Session 3 considers matters relating to housing delivery and Session 17 considers Plan monitoring.

2. Spatial distribution of housing provision and site selection

(i) What rationale underpins the Plan’s approach to the spatial distribution of housing provision over the Plan period? What factors have been balanced in coming to this view?

2.1 The spatial distribution of housing in the LDP stems from the Unitary Development Plan (UDP). Work on the LDP commenced within 2 years of the adoption of the UDP, so much of the UDP remained relevant with regard to the formation of the LDP. The LDP is largely a continuation of the UDP Strategy, but the delivery is now particularly evident, as reflected by the high proportion of Newport’s housing need that is met by sites with planning permission and already under construction. Key events that influenced the UDP spatial distribution of housing include:

a. The establishment of the Urban Regeneration Company, (Newport Unlimited) by the Welsh Government as part of a wider growth strategy to regenerate Newport, particularly following the closure of the Llanwern Steelworks; b. Eastern Expansion Area including the redundant part of the steelworks, together with land to the north; c. Brownfield Strategy aimed at developing regeneration sites located within the main urban area of Newport; d. Allocation of a Green Belt on the Cardiff/Newport border; e. Employment allocation to facilitate the growth strategy and job opportunities.

2.2 Alternative options were considered as part of the Strategic Options Paper in March 2009 (SD39). In particular, the options looked at housing numbers and where housing should be delivered. The Preferred Strategy (SD40) that emerged as a result of the Strategic Options set out the overall direction proposed for the LDP. Key themes include:

o Sustainable development strategy, with a focus on regeneration; o Maximise the use of brownfield land; o Protect Newport’s historic environment; o Meet the City’s housing needs; o Provide for affordable housing needs; o Focus on reusing previously developed land in order to protect the countryside and Green Belt; o Maintain a good supply of employment land.

2.3 As a result, the LDP proposes to build new homes that are located mainly on brownfield sites within the urban boundary. Under this approach, growth will go to locations with a good

Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing

provision of services and facilities, and the strategy seeks to locate key housing and employment development in proximity to each other.

2.4 Over the plan period, 57% of dwellings will be located in the east of the city, 27% will be located in the central area, and 16% in the west (See Appendix 1 of SD51). The largest proportion of residential development is proposed in the eastern expansion area, mainly at Glan Llyn and Llanwern Village. The UDP sought to concentrate development in the eastern area of the City due to the regeneration options at the large area of brownfield land at the Former Steelworks. The continued concentration of development in this area is a reflection of the brownfield led strategy of the LDP.

2.5 The amount of development in the central area is a reflection of the on-going regeneration of city centre. Newport Unlimited produced a Central Area Master Plan (2011) (SD53) which sets out the proposals for the regeneration of the area.

2.6 The smaller percentage of residential development in the western area is a result of the character of the area which includes fewer brownfield sites (with the exception of the Alcan site).

2.7 There is a spread of sites throughout Newport which provides a range of choice of house types and locations. In proposing that new homes should be predominantly developed in the core urban area, the spatial distribution of housing within the Plan is consistent with Planning Policy Wales (PPW). Housing provision with the Plan has been located with the following factors in mind:

a. Reduce the need to travel and increase accessibility by modes other than the private car b. Higher density development is planned near public transport nodes c. Encourage the use of previously developed land d. The location and accessibility to jobs, shops and key services e. The capacity of existing and potential infrastructure f. Physical and environmental constraints on development g. Compatibility of housing with neighbouring established uses

2.8 The spatial distribution of housing has also been considered alongside the spatial distribution of employment land (Section 4.10 of SD53). Overall, the level of housing and employment allocated within each of the district areas of Newport (West, Central and East) are considered to be evenly matched. This will help to create sustainable communities.

(ii) Is there a sound rationale for the level of reliance on brownfield land to deliver the housing requirement?

2.9 Planning Policy Wales sets out the overarching requirement for development to be placed on brownfield sites in preference to greenfield sites. The Plan allocates 82% of housing units on brownfield sites, with the remaining 18% of units on greenfield sites. The LDP is therefore compliant with PPW.

2.10 Chapter 13 of the Plan and the Delivery and Implementation Background Paper 2013 (SD62) set out the background to each site. Anticipated rates of delivery are noted, along with constraints and planning histories. There are not considered to be any significant obstacles with regard to delivering brownfield sites. Newport has been consistent in delivering a high

Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing

proportion of large site completions on brownfield sites. The last five years has seen an average delivery rate of 93% for large sites on brownfield land.

Total number of Total number of Total number of % of brownfield large site Greenfield Brownfield completions as completions completions completions overall supply rate 2008/9 582 units 87 units 495 units 85% 2009/10 362 units 17 units 345 units 95% 2010/11 361 units 0 units 361 units 100% 2011/ 12 367 units 6 units 361 units 98% 2012/ 13 332 units 49 units 283 units 85%

2.11 For further information, an updated version (February 2014) of the Housing Background Paper is provided in Appendix 1.

(iii) What evidence demonstrates that all housing allocations are soundly based on a methodical, consistently applied, robust and objective site selection process, taking into account considerations concerning site suitability, availability and deliverability?

2.12 A key stage in the production of the LDP is the Candidate Site process. In order to satisfy this requirement, the Council set out a three staged approach.

1. Call for Major Candidate Sites (September – October 2008) 2. Candidate Site Criteria (November – December 2008) 3. Call for Candidate Sites (March – May 2009)

2.13 The Candidate Site Criteria was prepared in accordance with Welsh Government guidance and subject to a six week public consultation. The finalised criteria (as listed in Appendix 2 of SD43) was then provided as the level of information required at the call for candidate sites stage in March 2009. This information was used as an assessment tool for the Council to determine which sites should be in the Plan and which should not. In addition, a Sustainability Appraisal was undertaken on the majority of candidate sites and the recommendations of the Sustainability Appraisal were used to form the basis of the site allocation decision making process for the LDP.

2.14 In total, out of the candidate sites which were submitted, 19 development proposals were put forward to the LDP. Two sites were added to the Plan as a result of the Alternative Sites consultation in August/September 2012. The rest of the sites in the Plan came forward either as UDP allocation or windfall sites.

2.15 All sites within the Plan have been subjected to a Sustainability Appraisal, and no significant issues have been raised for the housing sites. In terms of availability and deliverability, the Delivery and Implementation Paper (SD62) and update (see Appendix 2) provide an assessment for each site within the Plan. During the Joint Housing Land Availability Survey (JHLAS), developers and/or their agents are contacted in order to gain an understanding of

Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing

the likely timescales involved and any constraints facing the development. The phasing within the LDP is based on the JHLAS system and this is considered an open and robust evidence base. In addition to the JHLAS process, the Council also conducted an exercise in August 2012 to establish expected development delivery rates. This information has been used in conjunction JHLAS information.

(iv) Do the housing allocations and policies provide a sufficient range and choice of housing sites and opportunities across the Council’s area, in locations consistent with the objectives of the Plan? Is the Plan sound as regards the approach taken to new housing provision in settlements outside the main Newport urban area?

2.16 It is considered that the Plan provide a sufficient range and choice of housing sites. Housing sites within the Plan are located across the City (57% of dwellings will be located in the east of the city, 27% will be located in the central area, and 16% in the west). The locations are within the urban boundary and therefore in close proximity to key services and facilities, thus helping to enhance their sustainability which is in accordance with the objectives of the Plan. The Plan also provides a supply (2,450) of affordable units for a mixture of needs as well as providing a mix of family homes and inner city living to cater for the broad housing market.

2.17 The opportunity to provide homes in more rural locations has been investigated as part of the Strategic Options consultation; however there was no clear evidence to justify expansion to existing settlements. In summary, the Preferred Strategy of the LDP adopts a brownfield approach, in accordance with PPW, focussing development on previously developed land and in areas well connected by public transport. The potential to meet this outside of the Newport urban area is significantly reduced, and consequently no new housing sites are proposed outside of the Newport urban area (with the exception of H1(10) Pencoed Castle, which is enabling development associated with the conservation of a listed building). The Settlement Boundary Background Paper (SD63) describes the process that was undertaken in more detail. National planning policy allows for rural enterprise dwellings and rural exception affordable housing: otherwise additional development in rural settlements is considered to be unsustainable.

(v) What risks or problems has the Council identified associated with the level of reliance on brownfield sites – and how does the Plan seek to deal with these?

2.18 As noted above, Newport has been consistent in delivering a high proportion of housing completions on brownfield sites, therefore the reliance on brownfield sites is acknowledged, but it is not considered a significant risk. It is accepted that it is good practice to allow for unknowns and the need for flexibility within the LDP. In Newport’s case, the majority of housing supply has planning permission or is being progressed. Therefore this fact in itself reduces the risk further. However, the LDP does have a 9% oversupply and this is considered appropriate to enable the LDP to cope with any uncertainties which may arise over the plan period.

2.19 In addition to the 9% oversupply, the LDP has a section on housing monitoring targets (Chapter 12) which are designed to ensure that there is an adequate supply of land for housing. If housing targets are not being reached, then this will trigger further investigation and ultimately a review of the LDP if necessary.

3. Land supply

Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing

(i) What evidence demonstrates that the allocated sites are capable of yielding the identified housing target?

3.1 Over 80% of sites within the LDP have a planning permission or permission subject to Section 106 agreement. Therefore development layout plans exist for most sites which have been used to estimate the overall housing numbers. There have been some changes to dwelling numbers as a result of amendments to permissions. These are outlined in Appendix 1 (Section 6 LDP Housing Supply).

3.2 There are 8 sites within the LDP which do not have a planning permission or permission subject to Section 106. These are: a. H34 East Usk Yard b. H49 Mill Street c. H50 Herbert Road and Enterprise House d. H51 Whitehead Works (extensive pre-application discussions, application imminent) e. H52 Old Town Dock Remainder (extensive pre-application discussions, application imminent) f. H53 Bideford Road g. H55 Woodland Site, Ringland h. H15 Victoria Wharf (Post LDP Submission, this planning permission has lapsed and the site is now a Housing Proposal)

3.3 Site yields for these sites have been estimated by the Council. Average densities have been used, influenced by adjoining land uses. The developable area has been considered, shape of the site, plus any other constraints. The site yields are not a precise science and are subject to fluctuation, but the figures provided are considered to be a good indication of what can be expected.

(ii) Does the Plan identify with sufficient clarity how it makes provision for 11,622 units in order to deliver the Plan requirement of 10,350 units – have dwelling completions on large sites from 1.4.11 to 30.9.12 (518 units) been excluded from the H1 existing commitments site schedule?

3.4 As a result of updated information (Appendix 1), the Plan now makes provision for 11,326 dwellings in order to deliver the requirement of 10,350 units. The Delivery and Implementation background paper (SD62) and update (see Appendix 2) sets out when these sites will be delivered. The number of units is 9% greater than the housing requirement, providing flexibility.

3.5 In relation to the 518 units (large sites under construction = 330, and whole large sites completed = 188), this figure has been excluded from the H1 existing commitments site schedule on page 65 of the LDP.

3.6 Page 67 of the LDP lists the sites of 10 or more dwellings that were under construction at 1/10/12. There were 4 housing sites which have been completed within the plan period but are not shown in table H1 because they have no units remaining. These sites are:

o Great Western Wharf – 25 units o Clarence Place – 66 units o Viaduct Way – 82 units

Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing

o Corporation Hotel – 16 units (Incorrectly calculated as 15 units for the Deposit LDP)

These four sites result in a total of 188 units that were completed between 1/4/11 (start date of the Plan) and 30/9/12, they are noted in the summary table of H1 but site specific details are not shown within any of the H1 tables as there is no remaining capacity on these sites.

3.7 Full updated tables to 1st April 2013 in line with the latest JHLA Study and further clarification are provided in the updated Housing Background Paper in Appendix 1.

(iii) How have questions of housing mix and density on allocated sites been approached? What assumptions regarding this are reflected in the identified allocated site capacities?

3.8 The LDP provides for a mix of family homes and inner city living to cater for the broad housing market. It also provides a supply of affordable housing. Policy H3 Housing Mix and Density notes that a range of housing type and densities should be provided. Therefore the range and choice of housing opportunities available to people should be as comprehensive as possible.

3.9 As noted above, most housing sites within the LDP already have planning permissions in place or permission subject to S106. Therefore a range of housing mixes and site density will have been agreed with developers on a site by site basis. For the 8 sites which do not have permission, the Council has estimated the yield based on a number of factors, but in particular, the housing densities of similar sites or adjoining land uses.

(iv) On what basis has the anticipated yield of each site been calculated?

3.10 Please see answers to question 3i and 3iii.

(v) Have significant site-specific constraints (eg: flooding; ecological or environmental constraints; topography; access/infrastructure requirements) been properly taken into account in each case? What evidence demonstrates this?

3.11 Yes. Over 80% of housing sites within the Plan have planning permission or permission subject to Section 106. During the planning application process the site specific constraints have been considered and addressed.

3.12 Site specific issues have been considered for each of the remaining housing proposals that do not have planning permission. The table below sets out the assessments that have been undertaken and lists relevant supporting documents (see table below).

(vi) Is policy H1 sufficiently clearly worded as a housing site allocation policy? Are the anticipated total capacities/unit yields for each site identified in policy H1 intended to operate as maxima, or simply best estimates? Does policy H1 need to be clearer on this?

3.13 The tables in policy H1 can be updated as per the latest information in Appendix 1. This should help to provide further clarity on issues. The anticipated total capacities/unit yields identified in policy H1 are mainly taken from existing planning permission, however where no permission exists, best estimates are used. They are not intended to be a maximum figure but are considered to offer a realistic position in terms of appropriate density. This clarification can be added to the policy by amending the Housing Proposals Table on page 68 of the submitted LDP (SD3). To clarify this matter, we suggest that the table heading is amended to read:

1. BACKGROUND

1.1 This update on the Housing Background Paper provides a factual account of house building trends in Newport over the first 2 years of the LDP period. The paper goes on to provide an indication of land supply pre and post adoption of the Local Development Plan.

2. COMPLETIONS

2.1 The completion rate achieved in Newport over the first 2 year period of the LDP is set out below: Period Completion Rate 2011 -2012 402 2012 -2013 403 TOTAL 805

COMPLETIONS BY WARD

2.2 The large site completions (those sites of 10 or more units) over the first 2 years of the plan period took place across 13 of the 20 wards of Newport. The majority (69%) have occurred in 4 ward areas, namely Lliswerry [East Newport] (29%), Pillgwenlly (13%) [Central Newport], Graig [West Newport] (12%) and Victoria [Central Newport] (15%).

SMALL AND LARGE SITE COMPLETIONS

2.3 A small site is a site containing less than 10 units. On average over the last 5 year period of the UDP (2006-2011) small sites accounted for 44 units per annum. For the first two years of the LDP period the total number of small site completions totals 106 units (35 in 2011/2 and 71 in 2012/3).

3. HOUSING LAND 5 YEAR SUPPLY

3.1 The 2012 JHLAS report showed a 7 year housing land supply (based on the past build rate calculation method for a 10 year completions average.).

3.2 The 2013 JHLAS study has been undertaken and is with the Planning Inspectorate to resolve a dispute on the method of calculation to be utilised by the study. It is NCC’s opinion that, in accordance with the Welsh Government (WG) guidance note on JHLAS study, the correct calculations method for this study should be the past build rate methodology. There are no disputes over the build rate of the sites within the study 1. Therefore on the basis that the land supply calculation is based on the past build rate, as set out in WG guidance, the unpublished supply for 2013 is set at 7.4 years.

3.3 The housing land supply for the Plan period will be judged against the housing need as set out within the NLP report Assessment of Housing Requirements February 2013. This report evidences a housing need for 10,350 units from 2011-2026, this equates to 690 units per annum.

3.4 To calculate the land supply for the LDP it is also appropriate to include those windfall sites anticipated to be built over the plan period. This would mean an additional 75 units pa would be included with the JHLAS figure, including unsigned Section 106 sites, to total a supply of 4070 available units (see table 3.1 for details).

Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing

3.5 The LDP land supply will need to be calculated using the Residual methodology as set out in TAN 1. The following section sets out the land supply utilising those figures agreed by the 2013 JHLAS study group (see site schedule within Appendix 1) and provides a calculation based on the following four scenarios:

Scenario 1 Land supply, including small sites, without Section 106 sites and Table 3.2 Windfall, pre adoption of LDP Scenario 2 Land supply, including small sites, with Section 106 sites, Table 3.3 excluding windfall sites, pre adoption of LDP Scenario 3 Land Supply, including small sites, without Section 106 sites, pre Table 3.4 adoption of LDP with windfall Scenario 4 Land Supply, including small sites, with Section 106 sites, pre Table 3.5 adoption of the LDP with windfall

3.6 Table 3.2 provides a calculated land supply of 4.6 years based on the agreed 2013 JHLAS figures (including small sites), excluding both those unsigned Section 106 sites and windfall sites. These figures also exclude those Housing Proposals from the LDP.

3.7 The calculation of Total Land Available, is based on the following figures:

4. HOUSING LAND SUPPLY - POST LDP ADOPTION

4.1 The calculations set out in Section 3 do not take into account the Housing Proposals of the LDP or those new sites approved since the base date of the Housing information set out in the Revised LDP December 2013 (base date = 1/10/12).

4.2 The current JHLAS has a number of sites included due to their allocation within the Unitary Development Plan (UDP). Once the LDP is adopted these sites will need to be allocated within the LDP to remain within the JHLAS process. Table 4.1 below sets out the situation for those sites currently within the UDP and how they will be affected by the adoption of the LDP.

Table 4.2 sets out the Housing Proposal Table from the Deposit LDP and sets out which allocations are contained within the JHLAS process due to them gaining planning permission since the 1 st October 2012 and which sites will be included due to their designation as Housing Proposals on adoption of the LDP.

4.4 The table concludes that for the JHLAS following adoption of the LDP 1234 units will be noted as Development Plan allocations of which 432 units are anticipated to be delivered in the next 5 years. It is for the group to establish the delivery rates of these sites, based on previous JHLAS rates an estimated supply for the next five years is set out within table 4.2

5. LDP Housing Supply.

5.1 The Housing section of the Revised LDP December 2013 is based on a housing study undertaken on 1 st October 2012. Since this date a number of changes have occurred from new permissions, permissions lapsing and the replan of committed site, which all together result in an additional 557 units. These changes are set out in the tables below.

5.2 Policy H1 within the Revised LDP (December 2013) will need to be updated. The following tables illustrate how Table H1 in the LDP would be amended if the base date was moved forward to reflect the estimated delivery rates as set out by the JHLAS dated 1 st April 2013. The tables reflect those planning permissions granted by the LPA up until 31 st January 2014. The updated position provides Newport with a 9% flexibility rate.

2 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 This is a statement of common ground (SOCG) prepared by Newport City Council, the Home Builders Federation and study group in respect of the 1st April 2013 Joint Housing Land Availability Study (JHLAS) for Newport.

1.2 The SOCG has been prepared in accordance with the Welsh Government guidance and has been designed to assist the Welsh Government and Planning Inspectorate in preparing and finalising the JHLAS for Newport.

3 2. STUDY GROUP

2.1 The Study Group for the JHLAS process consists of the following members:

Lindsay Christian Newport City Council Mark Hand Newport City Council Richard Price Home Builders Federation Elise Coalter Linc Cymru Rhidian Clement Dwr Cymru/Welsh Water John Millard Melin Housing Association Rhys Parry Fairlake Housing Association Ben Cook St Modwens (regarding Llanwern site) Tim Gent Savills (regarding Llanwern site)

2.2 The HBF involved its members and comments from individual house building companies are made through the HBF or sent on an individual basis.

4 3. PROCESS TO DATE

3.1 Following the completed housing survey, undertaken by NCC, the site schedules were completed with an update of progress on each site and estimated completion forecasts. The study group was then supplied with the site schedules and a report setting out the developers’ intentions. The site schedules and detail report can be viewed in Appendix 1.

3.2 The consultation on the site schedules was undertaken between 24 July 2013 to 20 August 2013. The initial consultation response is set out in Appendix 2. The study group were asked to respond outlining if they disagreed with the proposed forecast figures and to provide alternative suggested forecast rates. Following this consultation period a study group meeting was undertaken on the 28 August 2013, where those outstanding disputed sites were discussed. The minutes of the meeting and the resolution to the actions from the meeting are set out in Appendix 3. The agreed construction rates from those disputed sites are set out in Appendix 4.

3.3 The comments received from the consultation period and study group meeting have been taken on board. The study group have agreed within the proposed development rates set out at the Steering Group Meeting or through emails following the meeting. These anticipated rates make up the figures and land supply calculations within this SOCG.

3.4 The SOCG was sent out to the study group for comment. The responses are set out in Appendix 5.

3.5 The final Schedule Schedules for the April 2013 study are set out in Appendix 6 of this report.

5 4. AGREED MATTERS

COMPLETIONS

4.1 The number of new residential units completed from the 1 st April 2012 to 31 st March 2013 is outlined below.

Large Sites Small Sites Total (10 or more units) (Less than 10 units) Completions Completions 201 2/201 3 332 71 403

AGREED SITES

4.2 The majority of sites within the site schedule were agreed by the study group. Where disputes were raised in the first instance amended figures or additional details were supplied to the objector. The initially disputed sites have all been agreed by the objectors. The disputes and subsequent amendments are set out in Appendix 2 and 3 of this report.

4.3 The final site schedule where agreement has been reached for all this sites can be found within Appendix 6.

METHOD OF CALCULATION

4.4 The method of calculation for this survey is a matter of dispute.

4.5 The calculation, agreed by NCC and the majority of the study group, has been made using the Past Build Rate Method as outlined by Technical Advice Note 1 (TAN1) (2006).

4.6 During the SOCG consultation the HBF and Boyer Planning have raised concerns over the methodology proposed for the calculation of land supply. The proposed method of calculation is a version of the residual method using the most up to date evidence. In this case the proposal is to take into account those units not delivered within the UDP period plus the requirement as evidence for the forthcoming LDP. Their comments are set out in detail Appendix 5.

6 5. CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE LAND

5.1 The methodology by which the land supply is calculated is the past build rates (although this is a matter of dispute). The amount of available land available to undertake the land supply calculation is set out in the table below. For information it is assumed that the small site completions will contribute 206 units over the next 5 years. This figure is based on the average completion rate for the previous 5 years.

Agreed Small Sites Total Sites Available Land 3169 206 3375

5.2 The following table outlines the land supply position using the past build rates method of calculation. It is important to note that in accordance with the recent amendments to TAN 1 the annual completion rate has been calculated over a ten year period.

Available Annual Approved Land Land Supply in Completions Available Years NCC & Study 457 3375 7.4 Group

5.3 The following table outlines the land supply position using the residual methodology as championed by HBF and Boyer planning.

Methodology Requirement Residual (13 Five Annual Boyer 5 year (15 years of years) Year Requirement Planning figure LDP period) Requirement Land minus Supply completions 2011-2013) UDP shortfall 10,896 10,087 3,880 776 3375 4.3 (546) plus NCC evidence of housing need and demand (10,350)

Appendix 2 – Initial Consultation Responses.

Objector Site Response NCC Response 2nd Response HBF General General Comments Note d. N/A

Recently the Minister released a statement outlining a package of measure to help the house building industry in Wales (attached). Within this statement the Minster clearly outlines his concern with the lack out house building in Wales and states that increasing housing supply is his main goal. In this respect, given the Minister's comments, we do not believe it is suitable for such overly optimistic delivery rates to be assumed on the sites in this schedule. We believe the Ministers comments warrant a much tougher stance on sites that have absolutely no evidence to substantiate their potential delivery, in order to ensure the sites within the authority are indeed genuinely available for development. We believe that ensuring we have ample evidence to demonstrate deliverability is the best way to ensure the Minister's aims for increasing housing supply are achieved and as such, we would urge the Authority and the Inspectorate to take our comments below on board. HBF Belmont Last year we were told that this site will be progressed before the The developer is not yet Steering Group agreed to Lodge end of 2012, with completions in 2013. However the site is now known. The permission amend delivery to 20 units each proposed to start in 2015. We are also unsure who the developer has been implemented year from 2015 onwards is. with the provision of the We would welcome clarification from the Council on this site. access to the site. It is thought that the development will follow the current development of lodges at the site. The site will remain under review and next year we should know the

The comment has always been that the Discharge of conditions The Steering group considered Castle castle needs to be restored before development and the agent are currently being it appropriate to amend the site does not anticipate a start within 5 years. This position has not considered by NCC. The that there are 6 units in 2016 changed and therefore we see no reason for this site to now be in Developer for the site is and 2017 respectfully. the 5 year supply. unknown The site should be moved to 3(i). The need to ensure sites are deliverable and genuinely available is particularly pertinent, considering the Minister's recent statement as mentioned above.

RP queried when permission was granted. LC informed the group that it was in August 2012. HBF Eastern ALL DISCISSIONS OVER THIS SITE WILL BE HANDLED AT The minutes of the Response from Turleys: Expansion THE FORTHCOMING MEETING meeting can be viewed Following discussions with Area in Appendix 3 Gallaghers I can confirm the revised figures for the JHLAS are: 2014-0, 2015-40, 2016-80, 2017- 120 & 2018-120. HBF Farmwood We do not believe it is appropriate to include these 10 units as UC.

HBF Former Please could the council clarify the position here. It seems there The site has two N/A Floors 2 Go has been a section 106 signed on the current application, but a permissions - the one for new application is being considered? 12 units is not expected to be implemented. The application for 10 units is but is subject to a section 106. Therefore the site has been placed in 3(i)

HBF Former ALL DISCISSIONS OVER THIS SITE WILL BE HANDLED AT The minutes of the “Glan Llyn . The site is split into Llanwern THE FORTHCOMING MEETING meeting can be viewed three separate areas to reflect Steelworks in Appendix 3 the two onsite developments of Charles Church and Persimmon and the remaining units. Glan Llyn – Greenacres . AC provided an update to the site. The group agreed that the 2014 figure should be reduced to 20 units and the 10 units added in 2018. Glan Llyn – Parklands . AC provided an update to the site. The group agreed that the 2014 figure is increased to 40 units and 2017 figure reduced to 8 units. Glan Llyn – Remainder . TG provided an update to the site.

12 Phase 2 is on its way with RM application in for western area infrastructure. The developer is St Modwens. They are expected on site in 2014. The remainder of the group did not agree that any units would be provided within 2014 so suggested the following figures: 2014- 0, 2015 – 50, 2016- 100, 2017 – 150 and 2018 – 150. TG relayed that the site would have a number of developers on site and anticipates a higher number of completions. He would need to go back to St Modwens to discuss the suggested figures and feedback to the group.”

Then we:

Reluctantly agree to zero in JHLAS year 2014 (13/14). I actually think with the assistance of the Council, we can be delivering by the end of the JHLAS year

Agree to 50 for 2015 (14/15). Request a rise to 150 in 2016 (15/16). My notes of the meeting show that this was agreed by the group. At the meeting I indicated that this year might be boosted by another phase or a

13 special residential user scheme. This is reasonable as the park will be fully established, we should have the first phase of the local centre in place by then and we should also be on site with the primary school (we met with Amanda Davies and Hayden on Thursday last week). We should have a mature Welsh Government sponsored assisted buying scheme by that time too (although that may kick in in 14/15) Agree to 150 in 2107 Agree to 150 in 2018 by that time we should have accelerated again.

Through continued discussion between HBF and Savills the following has been agreed:

I have just rechecked the minutes and we did agree the following:

2014- 0, 2015 - 50, 2016 - 100, 2017 - 150 & 2018 - 150.

Tim Gent is happy to go to 125 units at 2016 as long at the remaining 2 years are set at the 150pa as per the minutes of the meeting.

So can you agree the following: 2016- 125 units With the remaining two year at 150pa - as agreed at the meeting. HBF Pirelli Please could the council clarify who the developer is. The site developer is N/A Seren who are launching the site in two weeks. The site is a 50% affordable scheme. Anticipated completions in 2014.

3 The group was asked if there were any other sites to discuss. Two sites were LC to provide information on mentioned: application and numbers. a. Old Town Dock Remainder . The site is being developed by Sennybridge in line with NCC and Newport Unlimited development brief. Group wanted more information on the developer and current numbers with the planning application. b. Land adj Mcreadys . The developer is on site clearing the site. 4 Three large sites were noted by HBF for specific discussion at the meeting. a. Novelis . TG provided an update on the site. Section 106 has been signed since the 1 April base date. Expected on site in 2014. The group agreed that there would be 50 in 2015, and 80 from 2016 onwards.

24 Actions and Responses

The responses to the actions for the steering group meeting were sent to the study group on 19/9/2013. Responses and comments were asked to be provided by 27/9/2013. None were received and therefore the SOCG was updated to reflect these amendments.

Action Response

Farmwood Close NCC NCC to contact Land Registry We have contacted the landowners (Sparkle Developments) who have confirmed that they are selling the land through the Savills office in Cardiff. They didn't see the 108 apartments being implemented and indicated that a new scheme would need to be provided. I suggest we keep it as it is and check with Savills next year as to the progression of the site.

Whitehead Works Welsh Government. NCC to contact WG to try to obtain more detail I can confirm that the site will be brought forward within the 5 year period. on prospects for Whiteheads It is proposed to submit an outline planning application for a comprehensive scheme for residential development and associated community facilities as soon as possible.

Negotiations and pre-application discussions are on-going with your Authority on a regular basis to progress the scheme. Once an application is submitted –end of 2013/early 2014 work on remediating the site will commence on receipt of outline planning consent/relevant RM consents. It is envisaged that construction of the first phase of the development will commence in 2015.

A developer has been selected to deliver the scheme but you will appreciate that at this stage commercial sensitivities require that I cannot provide you with further information in relation to this point.

However, a press announcement will be made in the near future by WG outlining the scheme proposals in detail. Old Town Dock Remainder NCC NCC to provide information on application and numbers.

25 There has been an application submitted for environmental screening for up to 350 units on the site.

Glan Llyn Savills Savills to agree figures with St Modwens My notes show that the HBF etc was prepared to accept 150 from “other Llanwern” in 2016, and then continue at that rate.

TAKING YOUR NOTES OF THE MEETING (REPEATED BELOW) AS THE START:

“Glan Llyn. The site is split into three separate areas to reflect the two onsite developments of Charles Church and Persimmon and the remaining units. I. Glan Llyn – Greenacres. AC provided an update to the site. The group agreed that the 2014 figure should be reduced to 20 units and the 10 units added in 2018. II. Glan Llyn – Parklands. AC provided an update to the site. The group agreed that the 2014 figure is increased to 40 units and 2017 figure reduced to 8 units. III. Glan Llyn – Remainder . TG provided an update to the site. Phase 2 is on its way with RM application in for western area infrastructure. The developer is St Modwens. They are expected on site in 2014. The remainder of the group did not agree that any units would be provided within 2014 so suggested the following figures: 2014- 0, 2015 – 50, 2016- 100, 2017 – 150 and 2018 – 150. TG relayed that the site would have a number of developers on site and anticipates a higher number of completions. He would need to go back to St Modwens to discuss the suggested figures and feedback to the group.”

Then we: a) Reluctantly agree to zero in JHLAS year 2014 (13/14). I actually think with the assistance of the Council, we can be delivering by the end of the JHLAS year b) Agree to 50 for 2015 (14/15). c) Request a rise to 150 in 2016 (15/16). My notes of the meeting show that this was agreed by the group. At the meeting I indicated that this year might be boosted by another phase or a special residential user scheme. This is reasonable as the park will be fully established, we should have the first phase of the local centre in place by then and we should also be on site with the primary school (we met with Amanda Davies and Hayden on Thursday last week). We should have a mature Welsh Government sponsored assisted buying scheme by that time too (although that may kick in in 14/15) d) Agree to 150 in 2107

26 e) Agree to 150 in 2018 by that time we should have accelerated again.

NCC I have gone through the comments and its seems that we have one dispute left. The only area of dispute is over Glan Llyn.

HBF want the following: 2014- 0, 2015 - 50, 2016-100, 2016-100, 2017-150 St Modwens want the following: 2014- 0, 2015 -50, 2016-100, 2016-150, 2017-150

So there is a difference of 50 units in 2016.

HBF You have 2016 down twice in the email. What about this as a compromise - 2014 – 0 2015 – 50 2016 – 100 2017 – 125 2018 – 150

NCC I have just rechecked the minutes and we did agree the following: 2014- 0, 2015 - 50, 2016 - 100, 2017 - 150 & 2018 - 150.

Tim Gent is happy to go to 125 units at 2016 as long at the remaining 2 years are set at the 150pa as per the minutes of the meeting. So can you agree the following: 2016- 125 units with the remaining two year at 150pa - as agreed at the meeting.

HBF I’m not sure what is being proposed here, I thought HBF wanted 2014 - 0, 2015 - 50, 2016-100, 2017- 100, 2018-150 at the meeting. However, if the minutes reflect that we all agreed to 2014 - 0, 2015 - 50, 2016-100, 2017-150, 2018- 150, let’s go with this.

27 NCC The minutes reflect: 2014 - 0, 2015 - 50, 2016-100, 2017-150, 2018-150

However, St Modwens wanted 150 in 2016. However, Tim is happy to go with 125 in 2016.

Therefore the final figures would be: 2014 - 0, 2015 - 50, 2016-125, 2017-150, 2018-150

Llanwern Village (Eastern Expansion Area) Turleys Turleys to provide update and agreed figure Following discussions with Gallaghers I can confirm the revised figures for the JHLAS are:- with Gallaghers. 2014-0 2015- 40 2016- 80 2017- 120 2018- 120

In this regard our comments are informed by the recent updated to make the process clearer. Ministerial Statement on increasing house building which provides a new context for TAN 1. 2. Following the steering group meeting, actions were undertaken to clarify the Site Schedule build rate at Llanwern. These figures were 1. We cannot follow the logic of the schedules included within the draft SoCG. In their discussed between the HBF and Savills present form they are misleading and do not take account of the reclassifications that and an agreement was made based on were made and agreed during the meeting. Accordingly, the land supply figure of 3,375 these discussions, which is set out above. is incorrect. Based on the matters raised and agreed at the meeting the figure would be The objection from Boyer is noted and the 3,141 (including small sites). SOCG has been updated to reflect this disagreement. 2. We continue to disagree with the re-classification of Llanwern without any credible evidence (as was noted at the meeting). The classification that was agreed (2014 - 0, 3. Noted. 2015 - 50, 2016-100, 2017-100, 2018-100) at the meeting was optimistic given the continued and prolonged failure of the site to deliver completions at the levels envisaged. 4. TAN 1 and the WG Guidance Note concerning the JHLAS process sets out 3.Indeed, in the 2007 JHLAS it was forecast to contribute 800 dwellings by 2012. In the methodology for calculating the reality by April 1st 2012 there were no completions recorded and by April 1st 2013 just Housing Land Availability. For Newport, 35 completions, therefore the land supply has been artificially inflated by the inclusion of the past build rate methodology is the the site for a prolonged period. This can only have had a damaging impact upon housing required calculation method because the supply within Newport and all of the adverse impacts associated in terms of economic Council does not have an up to date growth and social considerations. If the classification from the meeting was taken adopted development plan. forward then the supply would fall to 3,016. 5.

The LDP process is the Eastern Expansion area. Indeed, the Council envisage nearly 300 completions per separate and will be considered annum on two sites in very close proximity however, this is a location where there have when adopted. been just 35 completions in recent years. 6. This process is to calculate the 5.With the exception of the classification of Llanwern we defer to the site classification current situation, to discuss the comments of the HBF. LDP and its figures is not appropriate. The LDP process is Land Supply Calculation separate and will be considered when adopted. 6. There is no value in including a calculation based on past build rates. Indeed, this is 7. The UDP residual figure is entirely misleading and disregards the failures of the UDP strategy to deliver the amount challenged by NCC. The residual of new housing that it required. We consider this approach to be entirely counter to the for the UDP plan period is actually Ministerial statement on improving the supply of land for housing. Indeed, this gives the 546 not 1142. The figure of 1142 illusion of a land supply over 5 whereas in reality one cannot be considered to exist. is the undersupply for the final 5 years of the UDP, not the plan 7. If the LDP requirement (10,350) is taken in addition to the shortfall from the UDP period as the methodology sets period (1,142) then there exists in reality a total requirement for 11,492 between 2011 out. This updates the resulting and 2026. If completions between 2011 and 2012 are discounted, then there would be a calculations. total residual requirement of 10,683.

Therefore the land supply as agreed by the 8. Given the land supply of 3,141 against a 5 year requirement of 4,110 there would be group is 3169. The calculations in a land supply of just 3.8 years. It is plainly the case that the four new proposed LDP the SOCG reflect this. allocations would not be sufficient to remedy this 5 year shortfall. This is in our view a highly unsatisfactory land supply position and entirely contrary to the requirements of the Minister of the Welsh Government to increase house building. Given that PPW (4.2.5) requires that all available evidence should be made available to decision makers, it is our view that this supply calculation is fundamentally important to increasing the supply of land for housing and must form part of the JHLAS for it to have any level of credibility.

I trust that this will be reflected in the submission made to the Inspectorate. HBF Method of calculation Method of Calculation TAN 1 and the WG Guidance Note We are not convinced that calculating the supply on past build rates provides an concerning the JHLAS process sets out accurate picture of the current land supply position. We do not believe it is appropriate the methodology for calculating the for the Council to continue to plan future development levels based on past building Housing Land Availability. For Newport, rates, particularly given the guidance provided within the new Ministerial Statement from the past build rate methodology is the Carl Sargeant. As we stated within our comments to the individual sites, the Minister has required calculation method because the a clear aim to increase housing supply going forward and therefore, we believe the Council does not have an up to date Council should now look to alternative sources of evidence with which to identify a adopted development plan. suitable housing requirement within the JHLAS. NCC also note that the first email sent The latest JHLAS guidance (2012) suggests that in circumstances where there is no around with the 2013 information the development plan coverage, past build rates is ‘likely’ to be the most appropriate method method of calculation was noted. I did of calculation. However, it is evident that there is more detailed and up to date evidence on the need and demand for new homes available, (e.g. the 2008 household projections not receive any objections to this and and also the evidence produced by the council for the LDP), which if utilised in the land neither was it brought up in the steering supply calculation, would result in a much lower land supply than the currently proposed. group meeting. As such, in our view, given the Ministers recent comments we do not believe it would be appropriate to calculate the land supply on past build rates. Disputed Sites

In light of the above, we believe the land supply calculated on past build rates results in Where reference to Appendix 2 is made, an overly inflated land supply that does not exist in practice and therefore, we believe the please note that the final site schedule is land supply should be calculated based on more up to date evidence on future needs set out in Appendix 6 of this SOCG. For and demands. In our view, the 2008 household projections for Newport would be a far Bankside, Coverack Road the study group more suitable basis with which to consider an appropriate housing requirement for use noted that the site was to be set in 3(i) and within the JHLAS. this is reflected in final site schedule.

Disputed Sites There are no disputed sites in the April 2013 study. Paragraph 4.2 states that the disputes and subsequent amendments are set out in Appendix 2 of this report. However, despite the results of the meeting in Appendix 3, the sites within Appendix 2 have not been altered.

For instance:- Belmont Lodge – The agreement on this site was for 20 per year from 2015, however this is not reflected in the schedule in Appendix 2 Farmwood Close – This site remains in the 5 year supply, however, there were still questions over this site that remain unanswered? Pencoed Castle – The agreement was for this site to have 6 units in 2016 and 2017, however this is not reflected in the schedule in Appendix 2. Floors to Go – The agreement was for this site to be moved to 3(i), yet in the schedule in appendix 2 it remains in the 5 year supply? Pirelli – The agreement was that the number should reduce to 25 units in 2015 and 25 in 3(i), however this is not reflected in the schedule in Appendix 2. Glebelands - The agreement on this site was for 51 in the last 3 years, however this is not reflected in the schedule in Appendix 2. Former Tredegar Park Golf Course - The agreement on this site was for 30 from 2015 until the end of the 5 years, however this is not reflected in the schedule in Appendix 2. 53 Cresc Road - The agreement on this site was to move the figures to 2016, however this is not reflected in the schedule in Appendix 2. Bankside Coverack Road - The agreement on this site was to move the figures to 2016, however this site is reflected in the 5 year supply in the schedule in Appendix 2. Glan LLyn - all sites – none of the comments at the meeting on these sites are reflected in the schedule in Appendix 2. We believe that the comments from Andrew Crompton should be followed with respect to these sites, as we discussed through our previous e-mail discussions. Eastern Expansion Area – The agreement on this site was for 2014 – 0 2015 - 0, 2016 - 60, 2017- 80, 2018 - 80. However, this is not reflected in the schedule in Appendix 2.

In light of the above, it would seem that there still remains some disagreement on the sites in question. We would welcome clarification on this.

Boyer Planning Aas noted we were not aware that further discussions had taken place between yourself, The actions from the meetings were sent (cont) the HBF and site promoter regarding the Llanwern site. Clearly we were disappointed to the study group. HBF was sent the not to be party to this given the historic problems with the delivery of the site, its SOCG draft and asked to send it to all relevance to land supply and the significant shortfall from the UDP period that remains members. outstanding.

Given the discussions that went on we will withdraw our request that the classification Noted. should revert to that of the meeting. However, it is plainly important that in light of these problems, the contribution that this site makes will need to be regularly reviewed.

We also feel that it is important to draw further attention to the importance of accurately reflecting the discussion that took place at the meeting in the SoCG. Indeed, considerable concern was expressed by the group over the ability of the site to deliver at the levels required given historic problems and the feasibility of potentially having a large number of volume house builders operating in extremely close proximity to deliver a significant number of completions per annum (on Llanwern and the Eastern Expansion area). Given the low level of existing interest and lack of detailed RM approvals this would require a major step change in demand for the site in a very short space of time.

HBF & Boyer We had included in our comments to you an alternative calculation in text but I set it out This calculations has been reflected in the Planning below in table format. Both myself and Richard (HBF) agree that this is suitable. SOCG, and has been updated in line with the UDP residual figures and non-disputed For instances where an Authority has no Adopted Development Plan, as is the case in land supply. Newport, PPW is clear at 4.2.5 that “all available evidence” should be taking into account by decision makers on planning applications. Given the points raised within our earlier comments (in respect of the Ministers Statement), this is clearly highly material evidence to any consideration of land supply.

I also note that the guidance that accompanies TAN 1 indicates that past build rates are only “likely” to be an appropriate starting point. There are clearly circumstances, as in this case where other methods can be used. It is our view that this is to ensure that robust and accurate assessments of land supply can be made and not simply reflect a supply that does not exist in practice.

In terms of your concerns with using LDP figures in the land supply calculation, we must point out that within our suggested calculation, we have used the latest evidence created by the Council on housing need and demand in Newport. It is a standalone piece of evidence that the council considers to be sound and robust and therefore, the fact that it is being used to inform the LDP should be largely irrelevant.

Persimmon Persimmon Homes requested that their comments made at the steering group minutes: Comments have been noted and th Homes Accurately reflecting what was said at the meeting held on the 29 August – As you will responses are the same as noted above. recall, there were a number of discussions over the concentration of housebuilding near Llanwern and the Eastern Expansion Area. Some 300+ units per annum are included in the Council’s figures, where only 35 units have been completed in recent years. 300 units per annum would require a concentration of national house builders to be involved (in addition to local developers) to achieve anywhere near this level per annum. In comparison, our annual internal projected forecasts for Persimmons large strategic sites across South Wales (covering the next 5 year period) in Barry, Cardiff and Bridgend range from 25-45 per ‘outlet’. Using a middle figure of 35 units per outlet, this would require some 9+ outlets to be operational year on year to deliver 300+ units at Llanwern / EEA. I would suggest at best, such sites would cope with 4 outlets (from all developers), bringing a maximum of 140 units per annum assuming few problems during construction (infrastructure delays, ground contamination remediation etc).

I recall the classification agreed in August’s meeting was the following: 2014 – 0 units 2015 – 50 units 2016 – 100 units 2017 – 100 units 2018 – 100 units

It was expressed that even the above figures were optimistic given the infrastructure / contamination and need to ‘ramp up’ development from a zero / low base.

You will note that the above comments are broadly similar to those made by the HBF / Boyer Planning in Appendix 5 of the Statement.

The impacts of artificially high land supply (7.4 years), will result in lower housing completions than should be the case, and resulting impacts on economic growth, affordability and social issues, each of which should be aspirations and aims of the LDP to tackle and deliver upon over the plan period.
