Basildon and Rochford Nitrogen Dioxide Reduction Plan Officer Basildon and Rochford Nitrogen Dioxide Reduction Plan Officer Working Group Terms of Reference March 2018 ToR - Basildon and Rochford NOx Reduction Plan Officer Working Group – V7 1. Background/Context Basildon and Rochford councils are to undertake, as part of the UK plan for tackling roadside nitrogen dioxide concentrations 2017, a Feasibility Study in accordance with the HM Treasury’s Green Book approach. They are required also to identify the option which will deliver compliance with legal limits for nitrogen dioxide in the area for which the authority is responsible, in the shortest possible time. Project must evidence: · That the intervention is supported by a compelling case for change that provides holistic fit with other parts of the organisation and public sector– the “strategic case”; · That the intervention represent best public value – the “economic case”; · That the proposed Deal is attractive to the market place, can be procured and is commercially viable – the “commercial case”; · That the proposed spend is affordable – the “financial case”; · That what is required from all parties is achievable – “the management case”. 2. Strategic Management The three authorities, Essex County Council, Rochford District Council and Basildon Borough Council have set up the joint officer working group to manage the development of the A127 Air Quality Action Plan and agree the package of measures that will result in a reduction in NO2 levels on the A127 in both Basildon and Rochford. Each authority’s decision making processes will require them to take individual decisions on the Strategic Outline Case, and the Outline and Final Business cases. Officers are taking into account the individual policies and strategies of all three authorities. Briefings are scheduled for the separate Cabinet and Portfolio Holders, Directors and Committee Chair and these will be held at regular intervals to ensure an awareness of the issues prior to decisions being required. Where there are any activities that are outside specific policies then these are being raised at an early stage with the respective Senior Officers and Members to ensure that all plans have a consensus across all authorities. In the event of any specific non agreements then these will be raised at the appropriate Senior Officer and Member level and a joint decision will be agreed. A separate overarching Project Board has not been convened as it is considered that the work can be included within the existing Boards and is covered by the duty to cooperate placed on all Local Authorities. The ‘duty to cooperate’ was created in the Localism Act 2011. It places a legal duty on local planning authorities, county councils in England and public bodies to engage ToR - Basildon and Rochford NOx Reduction Plan Officer Working Group – V7 constructively, actively and on an ongoing basis to maximise the effectiveness of Local and Marine Plan preparation in the context of strategic cross boundary matters. A Statement of Common Ground (SoCG) exists between the London Borough of Havering, Essex County Council, Brentwood Borough Council, Basildon Borough Council, Thurrock Council (Thurrock have not signed this), Castle Point Borough Council, Rochford District Council, Southend on Sea Borough Council, TfL and Highways England. The purpose of this SoCG is to inform the Planning Inspectors and other parties of the agreed way forward on any issues that remain outstanding at the point of Local Plan submission. This SoCG focusses on the impact cross-boundary growth will have on strategic routes including the A127 and details how the participating authorities will work collaboratively to address the identified issues. Any work impacting on the A127 as a strategic route will be covered by this statement. The Statement of Common Ground concludes that “All Local Authorities acknowledge that the Duty to Cooperate is not just a mechanism for cross-borough engagement during a Local Plan process. It is an ongoing activity that will continue beyond individual boroughs submissions, and eventual adoption of a Local Plan. All parties remain committed to continue to work together outside of the Local Plan process on these important strategic matters.” 3. Roles and functions of the Working Group · The working group will provide independent challenge to the decisions of the officer group]generally and specifically, against the ‘five case model’ in HM Treasury’s Green Book at each stage of the project through to full final business case. · To develop deliverable measures to reduce the NOx levels to the required levels. · Make available data sources to measure and monitor the air quality at agreed locations. · Recognise the constraints on all partners in delivering measures to manage the local air quality · Monitor the progress towards meeting the 2021 target · Monitor the program budget and expenditure 4. Role of individual group members The role of the individual members of the Working Group · Attending meetings as required and actively participating in the group’s work. · Representing the interests of the respective organisations as appropriate · Review scopes of work · Consider proposals made by officer group and make recommendations · Monitor progress of proposals · Receive progress reports from officer group ToR - Basildon and Rochford NOx Reduction Plan Officer Working Group – V7 · independent scrutiny of the project’s financial and non-financial performance · To review and comment on strategy, plans and resource allocation · Overall, to assess project against the performance and value in terms of both value for money and public health · Request relevant other persons (including officers) to attend working group meetings in order to assist the group in reaching its conclusions. Each member must declare any interests; chairperson must make a written record of these The working group will review the relevance and value of its work and the terms of reference at a frequency it determines appropriate, but at a minimum, at the end of each key stage of the project.

  • Local Plan Duty to Co-Operate Scoping Report Consultation Statement November 2015
    Chelmsford Local Plan Duty to Co-operate Scoping Report Consultation Statement November 2015 Local Plan Duty to Co-operate Scoping Report Consultation Statement Introduction This statement contains details of the representations submitted to the Duty to Co-operate Scoping Report published for consultation with those public bodies that are subject to the legal duty. This includes neighbouring planning authorities, Highways England, Natural England and the Local Enterprise Partnership. The consultation ran from 9 July to 21 August 2015 and posed 15 questions. Summary of Responses In total, 22 different bodies and organisations responded to the consultation. A summary of the main issues raised in the representations and how these will be taken forward through the preparation of the new Local Plan is set out below. The full representations are available to view on the City Council’s consultation portal at http://consult.chelmsford.gov.uk/portal. Question 1 - Do you agree that the correct cross-boundary strategic matters have been identified? Most of the responses to this question agree that the correct cross-boundary matters have been identified correctly. Two argue for slight changes: not appropriate weight or prominence given to further and higher (Writtle College) and green infrastructure should be seen as a strategic matter (Natural England). Essex County Council (ECC) suggest a number of wider South East issues could include: demographic pressures and housing need, supply and delivery; supporting and accommodating economic growth: strategic transport infrastructure (commuter patterns, transport modes, orbital/radial routes, freight; environment (water, energy, waste, minerals, Green Belt, AONB) and public services (health, skills/training).
