It goes on to suggest that around 4,300 of these new Throckley is a large village in the outer west of Newcastle, approximately 11km from the City Centre. The site, identified as homes will need to be accommodated within the villages around Newcastle and Gateshead’s urban areas. Part of the rationale behind this is the need to ensure the long term Throckley North, is positioned directly to the south of the main A69 and to the north of the existing houses along Hexham sustainability of key local services and facilities and to provide a more diverse range of type of housing within the areas, complementing the existing provision. This will, in turn, Road.

Site.A The land at north Throckley (Site A) is proposed by Newcastle City Council to be allocated for new housing over the plan The allocation of Site A (and B) for housing sits at the heart of the Core Strategy’s spatial strategy to promote sustainable neighbourhoods and give everyone the opportunity period. Site B is proposed to remain in the Green Belt. to live in a high quality, well designed home within inclusive and mixed communities that they can afford. Newcastle City Council has robustly demonstrated a shortage of available land within the city to meet its objectively assessed The village of Throckley has been identified by Newcastle City Council (Strategic Land Review (SLR) 2012) as being one of the most sustainable locations for growth and having housing needs. Existing Green Belt boundaries are drawn tight around the city and, on this basis, a review is necessary to the potential to be able to accommodate new housing development. Site A is identified as being able to accommodate around 550 new homes. Site B could potentially provide a ensure that the city can meet both its 5 year housing land supply requirement and the requirements of the Core Strategy to further 550 dwellings. identify housing land over the plan period. While it is recognised that the Council have sought to allocate only the land it needs to meet their objectively assessed needs and to support the longer term sustainability of the settlements beyond the Urban Core, a far longer term view is crucial to Accessibility and impact on local services and facilities ensuring housing development on deliverable sites beyond the plan period or to trigger the release of alternative deliverable and sustainable housing sites (via an appropriate mechanism) should other housing allocations fail to come forward within the The sites are in close proximity to Local Schools, with the primary school being within 5 minutes walking distance from the south eastern corner of the site and 15 minutes plan period. The masterplan provides a further option for consideration on this basis, to include Site B as, in essence, a from the north westernmost parts of the site. Accessibility could be potentially be enhanced through the creation of a footpath link to the south-east of the site. This is shown Safeguarded site. on the preliminary masterplan drawings. Paragraph 83 of the National Planning Policy Framework advises that, at the time of review of the Green Belt boundaries, the In addition, the majority of the new homes would be within 2 kilometres (20 minutes walk or 5minute cycle) of the nearest secondary school (Walbottle Campus). Local Planning Authority should consider the boundaries having regard to their intended permanence in the long term, so that they should be capable of enduring beyond the plan period.

Dear Sir or Madam, Ref : City of Newcastle upon Tyne - Draft Recommendations on New Electoral Arrangements - Callerton Throckley I have been asked by our Ward Counsellors to thank you for putting Walbottle back into this electoral ward. My Group are still not happy about this new ward created by apparently adding odd bits of the outer City to Newburn, Throckley, etc, to create a “patchwork” ward with little cohesion along its length once away from the riverside settlements. Our objections are as follows 1. Consultation. My Group are disappointed that the City Council have again failed to publise this consultation about the proposed changes to the ward boundaries and the implications to the people living in the areas. We have found when raising the issue at our meetings and in private conversations, that there is more interest than we would have expected once the whole project relating to the proposed changes around Throckley and Newburn are explained. This interest is across the age ranges of residents, not simply among the elderly who have memories of the Newburn Urban District Council and its governance of the area prior to Newburn, etc. inclusion in the City of Newcastle upon Tyne. Local people are possessive of the long term history of their area and the events which make up their social and cultural heritage.

Please reverse the decision on the Dene adn Manor Park ward boundariues decision and choose Newcastle Council’s Option 1 for area C as this is more in line with our communities and services.

As I reside in North Walbottle I have always thought that we have little in common with the existing Newburn ward and fully support the creation of a new Chapel ward and North Walbottle's inclusion within it. However, on reading the document, there is an apparent contradiction (which I assume is a simple slip of the pen/keyboard) - I have highlighted the error in yellow, and which should read simply Walbottle and not North Walbottle? Thank you.

    Local bus links in Newcastle Designing a network to TYNE AND WEAR meet your needs INTEGRATED TRANSPORT AUTHORITY Public consultation 15 March - 4 June 2010 Local bus links in Newcastle Designing a network to meet your needs Public consultation People in Newcastle make 47 million bus journeys annually - that’s an average of more than 173 journeys a year for every resident! Nexus, Newcastle City Council and the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority (ITA) want to make sure the network of bus services in the area meets residents’ needs. To do this, Nexus has worked together with bus companies and local councils to examine how current services operate and to look at what improvements could be made to the ‘subsidised’ services in the network, which are the ones Nexus pays for. We have called this the Accessible Bus Network Design Project (see below). We want your views on the proposals we are now making to improve bus services in Newcastle, which you can find in this document. We want to hear from you whether you rely on the bus in your daily life, use buses only occasionally or even if you don’t – but might consider doing so in the future. You’ll find details of different ways to respond on the back page of this brochure. This consultation forms part of the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority’s Bus Strategy, a three year action plan to improve all aspects of the bus services in Tyne and Wear. Copies of the Bus Strategy can be downloaded from www.nexus.org.uk/busstrategy.
