INTRODUCTION 1.1.1 This Planning Policy Statement has been produced by Staffordshire County Council to support a full planning application for the Stafford Western Access Route. It considers relevant national and local planning policy and appraises the scheme against these policies. The planning application is also supported by a suite of detailed and indicative drawings and documents including an Environmental Statement, non-technical summary of the Environmental Statement, Statement of Case, Statement of Community Involvement, Design and Access Statement, Utilities Statement and Planning Obligations Statement. 1.1.2 The planning application is for development within the red line boundary (SWAR/PLANNING/02) and includes: • Construction of new highway from Greyfriars Place to Doxey Road and Doxey Road to Martin Drive • Associated demolition of buildings at Saint Gobain • Associated flood compensatory storage within Doxey and Tillington Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest 1.1.3 The highway authority is permitted to carry out improvements within or adjacent to the existing local highway and therefore does not require planning permission for the areas within the blue line boundary (SWAR PLANNING/02). This is in accordance with The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015. This includes improvements and re-alignment of: • Existing Doxey Road between West Coast Main Line and Castle Street, including provision of a new service road • Greyfriars Place to A34 Foregate Street and along A34 Foregate Street to Browning Street 1.1.4 The objective of the Scheme is to: • Provide high quality transport infrastructure required to deliver development in Stafford • Reduce congestion on routes into and around the town centre which act as a constraint on growth proposals • Facilitate improved access by sustainable modes between housing growth areas and the town centre 1.1.5 The delivery of the Stafford Western Access Route will help to deliver Staffordshire County Council’s vision which is: ‘A connected Staffordshire, where everyone has the opportunity to prosper, be healthy and happy’ 1.1.6 It will enable the County Council to achieve its three priority outcomes, in particular the first one: 1 • Be able to access more good jobs and feel the benefits of economic growth • Be healthier and more independent • Feel safer, happier and more supported in and by their community 2. PLANNING HISTORY OF THE SCHEME 2.1.1 Protected road alignments for the Castlefields Link Road and Chell Road Diversion were considered for inclusion in the Stafford Borough Council Local Plan 2001. A significant housing allocation at Castlefields was not included in this previous Local Plan therefore it was not considered appropriate to include these road alignments. There were also concerns about their deliverability and impact on communities in Castletown. Even so, these protected alignments were taken forward as Option C in the 2010 Options Assessment Report appended to the Environmental Statement for this planning application. 2.1.2 A corridor to allow the construction of a new road between Martin Drive and A34 as an alternative to Option C was protected by the County Council in March 2008. This route (Option F) was considered against the other interventions within the Options Assessment Report and in 2010 Option F was identified as the preferred option for the Stafford Western Access Route. 2.1.3 The preferred route has been identified as key infrastructure in the new Local Plan to 2031 ‘The Plan for Stafford Borough’ that was adopted in June 2014. The full route will help to accommodate future development traffic in Stafford and, in particular, it will provide the access arrangements to proposed development sites in the West of Stafford at Burleyfields and Castlefields. 2.1.4 The preferred route has also been identified as a priority in the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Local Enterprise Partnership Strategic Economic Plan and in July 2014 funding for the Stafford Western Access Route was announced in the Local Enterprise Partnership’s Growth Deal. 3. NATIONAL PLANNING POLICY 3.1 National Planning Policy Framework 3.1.1 National Planning Policies are set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), adopted 27th March 2012, which is a material consideration in the determination of planning applications. National Planning Practice Guidance was published on 6th March 2014. NPPF promotes a strong theme of sustainable development and aims to strengthen local decision making and reinforce the importance of up-to-date plans. It replaces numerous National Planning Policy Guidance notes and statements previously issued by central government. NPPF Policies relevant to the Stafford Western Access Route include: • A presumption in favour of sustainable development • Delivering sustainable development – building a strong competitive economy and ensuring the vitality of town centres • Promoting sustainable transport 2 • Meeting the challenge of climate change, flooding and coastal change • Conserving and enhancing the natural environment • Conserving and enhancing the historic environment 3.1.2 The NPPF does not change the statutory status of the adopted Local Plan as the starting point for decision making. It advises that proposed development that accords with an up-to-date Local Plan should be approved without delay, and proposed development that conflicts should be refused unless other material considerations indicate otherwise. 3.1.3 Central to the NPPF is a presumption in favour of sustainable development and the need for the planning system to support economic growth. NPPF’s overarching policies seek to integrate the needs of planning and transport whilst focusing development in the most appropriate locations, thereby protecting and enhancing the environment. 3.1.4 There are three dimensions to sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. These dimensions give rise to the need for the planning system to perform a number of roles: • An economic role: contributing to building a strong, responsive and competitive economy, by ensuring that sufficient land of the right type is available in the right places and at the right time to support growth and innovation; and by identifying and coordinating development requirements, including the provision of infrastructure • A social role: supporting strong, vibrant and healthy communities, by providing the supply of housing required to meet the needs of present and future generations; and by creating a high quality built environment, with accessible local services that reflect the community’s needs and support its health, social and cultural well-being • An environmental role: contributing to protecting and enhancing our natural, built and historic environment; and, as part of this, helping to improve biodiversity, use natural resources prudently, minimise waste and pollution, and mitigate and adapt to climate change including moving to a low carbon economy 3.1.5 The Stafford Western Access Route has been considered in the context of these three dimensions as part of the Stafford Western Access Route Major Scheme Business Case (2015). The outcome of the appraisal is detailed in the Statement of Case provided with this planning application and a summary is provided in Table 3.1. 3 Table 3.1: Sustainable Development Assessment Summary Sustainable Overall Assessment of the Stafford Western Access Dimension Route Economic • Facilitates the delivery of The Plan for Stafford Borough Impact and reduces town centre congestion • Provides substantial benefits amounting to £94.2 million over a 60 year appraisal period mainly due to travel time savings • Provides high value for money with a Benefit to Cost Ratio (BCR) of 2.67 • The inclusion of journey time reliability benefits and inter- peak benefits would increase the BCR to 3.61 Environmental • National air quality strategy objectives will not be Impact exceeded • There will be a negligible increase in noise for local residents • There will be landscape benefits and a neutral impact on the Site of Special Scientific Interest • The potential impact on archaeological remains is low • Evidence suggests the impact on water can be mitigated Social Impact • There will be large journey quality benefits • There will be a reduction in accidents, generating benefits of £1.8m • Facilities will be provided where severance has been identified for pedestrians • Complementary sustainable transport measures will be provided in the town following completion of the scheme Distributional • There are no concerns about how benefits will be Impact distributed between social and vulnerable groups 3.2 National Legislation 3.2.1 The Environmental Impact Assessment has been completed taking into account appropriate national legislation. All relevant legislation is listed in Appendix 3.1 and a detailed appraisal against this legislation has been completed in the Environmental Statement provided as part of this planning application. 4 STOKE-ON-TRENT AND STAFFORDSHIRE LOCAL ENTERPRISE

  • Once Upon a Time There Was a Small Town in a Bend of a River and A
    Further Electoral Review of Stafford Borough Council Submission by Councillor Robert Stephens and Neil Thomas Introduction This is an independent submission by Councillor Robert Stephens (who represents the Milford ward on Stafford Borough Council) and Neil Thomas, a Doxey parish councillor and political journalist who has previously made submissions to the LGBCE and its predecessor concerning the last two reviews of Staffordshire County Council’s electoral arrangements. Councillor Stephens made a representation to the Commission at the preliminary stage on council size. Mr Thomas did not. Neither of us supported a reduction in the size of the council but since the Commission is minded to do so we are making what we regard as a constructive submission. Council size For reasons we explain in more detail below, we believe it is more practical to reduce the number of councillors to 44 than to 40 as proposed by Stafford Borough Council. The main reason for this lies in the difficulty inherent in dividing Stafford town into meaningful wards represented by 19 councillors – the number required if the total number is to be only 40. We contend coherent boundaries are more easily achieved if Stafford town were to be represented by 21 councillors. Inevitably, the need to achieve a good degree of electoral equality requires that Stone town should be represented by six councillors and the countryside surrounding both towns by 17 – one more each than is proposed by the borough council. The average number of electors per councillor with 44 members would be 2,315. Our submission would reduce the number of councillors by more than 25%, compared with the 32% advocated by the Conservative and Labour parties in their submissions.
