Salford Local Plan Consultation Statement

October 2016

Introduction

1.1 This consultation statement has been prepared having regard to the requirements of Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. For each stage of consultation on the Salford Local Plan that has been undertaken to date it details: • which bodies and persons were invited to make representations under Regulation 18; • how those bodies and persons were invited to make such representations; and • a summary of the main issues raised by those representations.

1.2 There have been two key stages of consultation on the local plan to date: • Call for sites consultation (8 February – 12 April 2013) • Suggested sites consultation (10 January – 21 March 2014)

Statement of community involvement

2.1 The city council’s statement of community involvement (SCI) was formally adopted on 20 January 2010. The SCI aims to increase public involvement in the planning process. It sets out who will be involved, by what method and at what point in the process of document production or in the determination of planning applications. It gives more certainty to those wishing to get involved in the planning process.

2.2 The SCI sets out the council’s policy for community engagement in the production of formal planning documents. Below is a summary of the SCI guidance in respect of consultation at the different stages of development plan document (DPD) production:

Stage 1 This stage includes defining the objectives for the DPD as well as the framework and scope of the sustainability appraisal (SA).

Stage 2 This stage includes evidence gathering and identifying the main issues and options for the DPD, and developing the necessary evidence to support the DPD. It may involve a number of periods of consultation but is a key stage in the preparation of the DPD as it enables people to express their views, put forward their own ideas and to actively participate in developing options before any firm proposals have been drawn up.

Stage 3 At this stage the council will take into account any representations received as a result of the consultation as it prepares the final document. Representations can sometimes be conflicting and therefore

1 the council will have regard to all opinions expressed as the final document is produced.

Local plan – call for sites consultation

3.1 The local plan call for sites consultation was the initial stage of consultation undertaken to inform the local plan. The consultation period ran for nine weeks from 8 February 2013 to 12 April 2013. The purpose of the consultation was to seek suggestions for sites or areas of land in the city that may be appropriate for allocation or designation in the local plan.

3.2 No formal documents were produced for the consultation but a letter was sent to all consultees together with a proforma for comments to be submitted.

3.3 Any consultees or persons wishing to submit suggestions and recommendations for sites were invited to make their comments in any of the following ways during the consultation period: • by email to [email protected] • by post to Local Plan consultation, Spatial Planning, Salford Civic Centre, Chorley Road, Swinton, M27 5BY • by returning forms by hand to the main reception desk at the Civic Centre.

Consultation letter

3.4 The local plan call for sites consultation letter was sent to all stakeholders on the city council’s planning consultation database. The letter is set out at Appendix 1. As the city council had recently ceased work on the production of its core strategy (November 2012), the letter included additional information about why the city council was now progressing with a local plan and what this would do.

Sustainability appraisal

3.5 The consultation letter also referred to the consultation on the proposed methodology for carrying out the sustainability appraisal (SA) for the local plan. This consultation ran alongside the local plan call for sites consultation and the SA scoping report has subsequently been revised having regard to the comments received during the consultation. The revised local plan sustainability appraisal scoping report is available at www.salford.gov.uk/localplan-scopingreport.htm

Consultees

3.6 The local plan call for sites consultation letter was sent to all general and specific consultees. There were a total of 11 general and 43 specific consultees. A list of all general and specific consultees consulted at this stage is set out at Appendix 2.

3

3.7 All of the relevant bodies identified in Part 2 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 as duty to cooperate bodies were also consulted. A list of these bodies for Salford is set out at Appendix 3.

3.8 In addition to the specific, general and duty to cooperate consultees, all stakeholders on the city council’s planning consultation database were notified about the consultation. This included a total of 1,022 individuals and organisations who had previously commented on, or expressed an interest in, one of Salford’s planning documents (including the core strategy which was withdrawn in November 2012).

3.9 Finally, an email was sent to all local councillors informing them of the consultation.

Proforma

3.10 In order to assist local residents and businesses in responding to the call for sites consultation, a proforma was produced for respondents to complete for each proposed site. The proforma required details of the proposed site including its address and a site location plan to be submitted, together with information on the current use of the site, what the respondents considered the site should be allocated or designated for, and why the site would be appropriate for this use. By producing the proforma, it was hoped that this would aid the submission of a fully detailed proposal and ensure that sufficient information was submitted in order to understand the nature of the proposal.

3.11 A copy of the proforma was enclosed with all consultation letters and a copy was also available to download on the local plan webpage.

Internet

3.12 As soon as the city council commenced work on the production of the local plan a dedicated webpage was set up on the city council’s website which explained about the local plan, its purpose and what it would do. A webpage specifically dedicated to the consultation was established which went live for the start of the consultation. This webpage set out briefly the purpose of the local plan consultation, outlined the dates of the consultation including the closing date for comments and also included downloadable copies of the consultation letter and proforma. A copy of the local plan call for sites consultation webpage is set out at Appendix 4.

3.13 A hotlink was also set up on the homepage of the city council’s website, highlighting the consultation and providing a direct link from the city council’s homepage to the local plan consultation page. This was available on the homepage throughout the duration of the consultation.

4

3.14 In addition an article was advertised on the city council’s intranet (the city council’s internal network) for the consultation, inviting comments and providing details of where further information could be found regarding the consultation. This was displayed periodically throughout the duration of the consultation.

Presentations

3.15 A presentation was given to the Shadow Health and Well Being Board on 21 March 2013 to provide information about the consultation and invite them to submit representations. This board had been established in advance of the Salford Clinical Commissioning Group and the city council taking over responsibilities from NHS Salford (formerly the primary care trust for Salford) from April 2013. This meeting was attended by representatives from the Clinical Commissioning Group, Greater Manchester Police, the voluntary and community sector, and the NHS Foundation Trust, amongst others.

3.16 An informal presentation was also given on 5 March 2013 to the Ordsall and Langworthy community committee following a request from an elected councillor.

Representations received and issues raised

3.17 A total of 315 individuals and organisations responded to the consultation, with over 1,100 sites suggested for either some form of development or protective designation. A list of all those who submitted representations is set out at Appendix 5.

Sites suggested for development

3.18 The city council reviewed all of the suggested sites and consolidated these by removing overlapping sites and discounting sites that were below 1 hectare in size1. The city council also reviewed its strategic land assessment work to identify sites which may have potential to accommodate housing or employment development, or where there has been known developer interest previously. This process resulted in a total of 137 sites being identified, to be assessed for their potential to accommodate development.

Sites suggested for local green space designation

3.19 A number of sites across the city were suggested by the local community for designation as local green space. The city council reviewed all of these sites and consolidated them by removing

1 Sites below 1 hectare in size were typically discounted for the purposes of assessment, as the local plan will not generally allocate sites below this size. The exception to this was where a site would require an allocation in order to make it developable in planning policy terms (e.g. where a site was within the green belt). In such instances, sites below 1 hectare in size were also assessed. 5

overlapping sites. It also included any sites which had not been put forward by the community but which the city council considered could meet the criteria for local green space designation. This process resulted in a total of 48 sites being identified, to be assessed against the criteria for local green space designation.

Sites suggested for recreation allocation

3.20 A number of sites across the city were suggested by the local community for allocation for recreation purposes. The city council reviewed all of these sites and consolidated them by removing overlapping sites. This process resulted in a total of 48 sites being identified, to be assessed for their suitability to be allocated for recreation purposes.

Sites suggested for green belt designation

3.21 A number of sites across the city were suggested by the local community for designation as green belt land. The city council reviewed all of these sites and consolidated them by removing overlapping sites. This process resulted in a total of 20 sites being identified, all located within Salford West and predominantly within Little Hulton and Walkden, and Worsley and Boothstown, with a small number in Irlam and Cadishead, and in Swinton.

3.22 Appendix 6 sets out the source of the site suggestion for each of the sites suggested for development. It also sets out the number of representations relating to each site that was proposed for local green space designation, recreation allocation, and green belt designation. Some sites were suggested for more than one type of designation.

3.23 The local plan suggested sites consultation overview document sets out in more detail the criteria against which the sites were assessed and how the final list of sites was derived in terms of those sites for development, for local green space designation, for recreation allocation and for green belt designation.

Local Plan – suggested sites consultation

4.1 The local plan suggested sites consultation ran for a ten week period from 10 January 2014 to 21 March 2014. The purpose of the consultation was to seek views on the sites that had been suggested at the previous consultation stage, and on the city council’s initial assessment of these sites, in order to inform the preparation of the draft local plan. The consultation also presented the opportunity for additional sites to be suggested, either for development, or for protective designation.

4.2 A series of documents were issued for consultation including: • overview document – providing an overview of this stage of consultation, listing all sites that the city council had assessed, together with the methodology for the assessment. • neighbourhood area documents – a separate document was prepared for each of the city’s eight neighbourhood areas (Claremont and Weaste, East Salford, Eccles, Irlam and Cadishead, Little Hulton and Walkden, Ordsall and Langworthy, Swinton, and Worsley and Boothstown), containing all of the sites that have been suggested within that area and the city council’s assessment of them. • green belt assessment document – identifying those sites within the green belt which had been suggested for development, and those sites proposed in submissions to the local plan as possible additions to the green belt. • consultation statement – detailing the call for sites consultation stage.

4.3 Any consultees or persons wishing to make representations were invited to do so in any of the following ways during the consultation period: • by email to [email protected] • by post to Local Plan consultation, Spatial Planning, Salford Civic Centre, Chorley Road, Swinton, M27 5BY • by returning forms by hand to the main reception desk at the Civic Centre

Consultation letter

4.4 A letter was sent to all stakeholders on the city council’s planning consultation database to advise them of the suggested sites consultation and how to make representations. A copy of the consultation letter is set out at Appendix 7.

Consultees

4.5 The suggested sites consultation letter was sent to all general and specific consultees, as at the call for sites consultation stage. The list of these consultees is set out at Appendix 2. Similarly, all of the Duty to

7

Cooperate bodies as identified in Part 2 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, were consulted. These bodies are listed at Appendix 3.

4.6 In addition to the specific, general and duty to cooperate consultees, all stakeholders on the city council’s planning consultation database were notified about the consultation. This represented a total of 1,258 individuals and organisations being notified, including all those who submitted representations at the local plan call for sites consultation stage.

4.7 An email was also sent to all councillors to inform them of the consultation, and the city council’s neighbourhood managers were encouraged to circulate details of the consultation across their own network of community contacts and via social media.

Proforma

4.8 A proforma was prepared to assist consultees in making representations. In addition to this, the proforma from the call for sites consultation was also made available in order to provide the opportunity for any additional sites to be suggested. Both proformas were made available on the city council’s website, and hard copies of the proformas were enclosed with letters which were mailed out as part of the consultation, and were also made available at all deposit locations.

Internet

4.9 A dedicated webpage for the suggested sites consultation went live on the city council’s website which from 10 January 2014 to coincide with the start of the consultation period. This webpage set out the purpose of the consultation and also included downloadable versions of all consultation documents including the proformas, the overview document and the consultation statement. A copy of the suggested sites consultation webpage is set out at Appendix 8. Associated with this, a webpage featuring an interactive map was created, identifying all sites across the city that were suggested for inclusion in the local plan and providing a direct link to each relevant site assessment. The interactive map has remained live for reference purposes following the end of the consultation period.

4.10 In addition, an item was included on the city council website homepage as a rotating news item for defined periods during the consultation, to prominently highlight the consultation to visitors to the city council’s website. A snapshot of the website homepage showing the link to the local plan consultation is set out at Appendix 9.

4.11 During the consultation, information was collated about the number of views of the suggested sites consultation webpages. There were a total

8

of 3,727 unique pageviews (the number of sessions during which that page was viewed one or more times) over the course of the consultation period, with 500 of these occurring on the first day of the consultation.

Additional publicity

4.12 The following additional activities were undertaken to publicise the consultation period and engage with stakeholders.

4.13 An article was included within the December 2013 issues of LIFE IN Salford. This is a partnership magazine for the city, produced four times a year which is distributed to every home and business in the city by Royal Mail and a door-to-door distributor, and is also available on the city council’s website. The LIFE IN Salford article is set out at Appendix 11.

4.14 Salford’s City Mayor published a press release on 17 December 2013 to publicise the local plan suggested sites consultation. This is set out at Appendix 12.

4.15 City council officers attended three community committee meetings during the consultation period, to provide an overview of this stage of consultation and answer any questions posed by the local community: • Irlam and Cadishead community committee – 16 January 2014 • East Salford community committee – 23 January 2014 • Worsley and Boothstown community committee – 12 February 2014

Representations received and issues raised

4.16 A total of 380 individuals and organisations responded to the consultation, with many respondents making representations on multiple sites. Of the 380 respondents, 34 of these had previously put forward sites at the call for sites stage. A list of all those who submitted representations is set out at Appendix 12.

4.17 Representations provided comments on the city council’s assessment of the suggested sites, and in some cases provided additional evidence in this regard. In addition, a number of respondents suggested additional sites which they considered should be allocated for development, or be given some form of protective designation. As part of this: • 22 additional sites were suggested for development • 16 additional sites were suggested for local green space designation • 3 additional sites were suggested for recreation allocation

4.18 In addition to the above, three other sites were suggested including one for the protection of existing allotments at Dixon Street (Irlam), one to designate land at City Airport and Heliport for the continuation and

9

protection of the existing airport facility, and one to designate Salford Quays/Media City UK as a strategic location for growth suitable for a range of development consistent with its role as a major creative/digital industries, educational, residential, business and visitor destination.

Additional sites suggested for development

4.19 Of the additional 22 sites suggested for development, 13 were below the 1 hectare threshold for allocation within the local plan. These smaller sites were considered for identification within the city council’s Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA). The 9 sites which exceeded the 1 hectare threshold were subject to the same assessment process as those sites which were consulted on at the suggested sites consultation stage. In addition, a further 4 sites were assessed for development, reflecting those sites put forward via the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework call for sites in January 2016 which had not previously been assessed.

Additional sites suggested for local green space designation

4.20 16 additional sites were suggested for local green space designation. All of these sites were assessed using the same assessment process as those sites which were consulted on at the suggested sites consultation stage.

Additional sites suggested for recreation allocation

4.21 3 additional sites were suggested for recreation allocation. All of these sites were assessed using the same assessment process as those sites which were consulted on at the suggested sites consultation stage.

4.22 Appendix 13 sets out all of the additional sites assessed following the suggested sites consultation. For those sites assessed for development, the source of the site suggestion is identified for each site. For those sites assessed for local green space designation or recreation allocation, the number of representations relating to each site is identified.

Select Language ▼ Local plan suggested sites consultation The city council is currently consulting on sites that have been suggested by landowners, developers and the local community for development or for protective designation through the local plan.

In February 2013 as part of the initial stage of consultation on the local plan, the city council invited people to suggest sites or areas of land in the city that they thought may be appropriate to be allocated for development or given some form of protective designation.

A large number of sites across the city were put forward both by individuals and organisations. Sites were suggested for development, such as housing, offices, or industry. Sites were also nominated for some form of protective designation, such as local green space, recreation or green belt.

The city council has carried out an initial assessment of each of the sites, and some sites have been assessed for more than one type of designation.

We would welcome your views on the sites that have been suggested so far, and the city council’s initial assessment of them. If you consider there is additional evidence that we need to take into account in our assessment of the sites, then we would welcome this information. This is also an opportunity to send us details of any additional sites that you think we should be considering, which have not already been put forward.

How to find out which sites have been suggested A separate document has been prepared for each of the city’s eight neighbourhood areas, which contains all of the sites that have been suggested within that area and the city council’s assessment of them. These documents can be downloaded below.

57

Alternatively, you can use the interactive map to see all of the sites that have been suggested. This enables you to search for a specific address or postcode, or zoom to a particular area. If you click on a site on the map, this will take you to the city council’s initial assessment of the site.

In addition to the eight neighbourhood area documents, the city council has also prepared a number of other documents. The overview document sets out the methodology the city council has used in carrying out its initial assessment of the sites. The green belt assessment document contains the assessments for all sites that have been suggested for green belt designation. The consultation statement sets out details of the previous stage of consultation and how site suggestions and comments have been taken into account. These documents can be downloaded below.

All of the documents are available to view in each of the city’s libraries during normal opening hours.

Making comments If you wish to make comments or provide additional information in relation to the sites that have been assessed, please complete the comments form.

If you wish to suggest an additional site that has not already been put forward then please complete the additional sites form.

Both forms are available to download below.

All comments should be received by the city council no later than 4.30pm on Friday 21 March 2014.

What happens next? The city council will consider all comments that are submitted through this consultation and these will be taken into consideration in informing the preparation of the draft local plan. It is anticipated that the draft local plan will be published for public consultation in autumn 2014. This will be the first point at which the city council sets out its preferred approach for Salford’s future development.

250 sites earmarked by residents

More than 250 sites across Salford have been suggested for development or protection by the city’s residents.

Earlier this year, residents, businesses, landowners and developers all came forward with suggestions for sites in Salford for development or protection.

Council officers have now carried out a full assessment of each one – totalling more than 250 sites across Salford.

Residents will soon have a further chance to offer their thoughts on the sites that have been suggested – to take the city closer to putting together its planning guidance for the next 20 years.

It is all part of the Local Plan – which will be in place until 2032.

A new 10-week consultation kicks off on January 10, with residents being able to make suggestions, present more evidence on sites, or to suggest other sites.

Salford’s Assistant Mayor for Strategic Planning, Councillor Derek Antrobus, said: “Residents have a real chance to shape the future of how their city will look.

“We need new housing and employment sites to cope with the city’s rapid growth. Local residents must be part of that process.

“We must first filter out any suggestions that are unachievable. Then we have to make tough choices that balance our housing requirements and our wish to maintain green spaces.

“No choices have yet been made and everyone will have the chance to have their say when the consultation on choices takes place next Autumn.”

Notes:

The Salford local plan suggested sites consultation will run for a 10 week period from 10 January to 21 March 2014. Details of all of the sites which have been suggested and the city council’s assessment of them are available on the city council’s website at www.salford.gov.uk/lp- suggestedsites

All of the documents are also available in each of the city’s libraries. Comments should be submitted no later than 4.30pm on Friday 21 March 2014 for them to be taken into consideration.

The next stage of consultation on the local plan will be in Autumn 2014, when the city council publishes its proposed approach and identifies which sites it considers should be allocated for development or for protective designation.
