i West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Government introduced a new planning system called Local Development Frameworks (LDFs) under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. This will see the gradual replacement of the Local Plan system over the coming years. In the context of the new planning system, with its focus on the delivery of sustainable development and sustainable communities, monitoring takes on an added importance in providing a check on whether those aims are being achieved.

The 2004 Act introduced mandatory Annual Monitoring Reports and it became a legal requirement for Local Authorities to produce an Annual Monitoring Report every year from 2005 onwards. This is the sixth Annual Monitoring Report to be produced by the Council. The report covers the period 1st April 2009 to 31st March 2010 and must be submitted to the Secretary of State no later than the 31st December 2010. Submission of the Annual Monitoring Report to the Secretary of State by the end of the calendar year fulfils not only a statutory requirement but also meets a Best Value Target BV200c.

This AMR will be used to identify the key challenges and opportunities facing the District and will enable appropriate policy adjustments and revisions to be made. This reflects the Government’s concept of ‘plan, monitor, and manage’, whereby the findings of monitoring feed directly into any review of policy that may be required, giving Local Authorities greater ownership of their planning policies. However, monitoring may indicate the need to address other aspects beyond reviewing the policies set out in the Local Development Framework (or contained in the current Local Plan). For example, it may indicate the need to refine or extend the monitoring framework itself or propose actions in respect to related local strategies and initiatives (e.g. Community Strategies).

The Government White Paper Strong and Prosperous Communities published in October 2007 outlined a new set of indicators that would be introduced, replacing all other Best Value Indicators and Performance Assessment Framework indicators currently in place. These streamline the number of previous indicators and better reflect national priority outcomes for Local Authorities. The new National Indicators came into effect on April 1st 2008, along with an updated set of Core Output Indicators for Annual Monitoring Reports.

During this monitoring period significant progress was made on the formation of a new planning unit for the area known as Central Lincolnshire, in line with recommendations set out in the East Midlands Regional Plan (March 2009) . This mirrors the partner members of the Central Lincolnshire Housing Market Area (HMA) and comprises the Districts of West Lindsey, North Kesteven and the City of Lincoln. Full details of this change are contained in section 2.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS AMR

Adoption The final confirmation of a development plan or Local Development Document having statutory status by a Local Planning Authority.

Annual Housing Supply Assessment (AHSA) An annual survey is conducted every year to assess the level of development of new houses and existing commitments. The assessment is important as it helps to identify the amount of land available to build houses; it now forms part of this Annual Monitoring Report and can be viewed in Appendix 3 of this document. In past years this assessment was called a Housing Land Availability Study.

Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) Part of the Local Development Framework, the annual monitoring report will assess the implementation of the Local Development Scheme and the extent to which policies in Local Development Documents are being successfully implemented.

Area Action Plan (AAP) Used to provide a planning framework for areas of change and areas of conservation. Area Action Plans will have the status of Development Plan Documents.

Best Value The Government has placed a duty of best value on local authorities to deliver services to clear standards - of cost and quality - by the most economic, efficient and effective means available. Best Value Performance Indicators (BVPI’s) have been superseded as of 1st April 2008 by a new National Indicator Framework.

Central Lincolnshire JPU The newly formed Joint Planning Unit (JPU) covering the Central Lincolnshire Housing Market Area (HMA), which comprises West Lindsey, North Kesteven and City of Lincoln. The unit will initially produce a Joint Core Strategy and a revised Local Development Scheme (LDS) is expected in January 2010 which will set out how future Local Development Framework (LDF) documents will be produced.

Core Strategy Sets out the long-term spatial vision for the local planning authority area, the spatial objectives and strategic policies to deliver that vision. The Core Strategy will have the status of a Development Plan Document.

Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) The DCLG sets guidance and UK policy on Local Government, Housing, Urban Regeneration, Planning, Communities & Neighbourhoods, Cities & Regions, and Fire and Resilience. The DCLG subsumes many of the roles and responsibilities of what was the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM*).

* Please note: The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) took over the planning remit of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) on 5th May 2006.

vi West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT 2009

1.0 INTRODUCTION

What are Annual Monitoring Reports required to assess?

1.1 The Government considers that survey, monitoring and review are crucial to the successful delivery of the new Local Development Frameworks and should be carried out on a continuous and pro-active basis. The Annual Monitoring Reports are the main mechanism for assessing the framework’s performance and effects. The Annual Monitoring Report should include an assessment of:

• Whether the timetable and milestones for the preparation of documents set out in the Local Development Scheme (LDS – timetable for the production of the LDF) have been met or progress is being made towards meeting them or where they are not being met or not on track to being achieved, the reasons why; • Whether policies and related targets or milestones in Local Development Documents (LDDs – Development Plan Documents forming part of the LDF) have been met or progress is being made towards meeting them or where they are not being met or not on track to being achieved, the reasons why; • What impact the policies are having in respect of national, regional and local policy targets and any other targets identified in Local Development Documents; • The extent to which any Local Development Order or Simplified Planning Zone, where adopted, is achieving its purposes; • Whether the policies in the Local Development Documents need adjusting or replacing because they are not working as intended; and • Whether the policies need changing to reflect changes in national or regional policy and if policies or proposals need changing, the actions needed to achieve this.

The Format of this Annual Monitoring Report

1.2 Firstly, the AMR will give information on the policy background in West Lindsey and will then update the position in regards to the Local Development Scheme and progress made on the Local Development Framework at 31st March 2010.

1.3 The main body of the AMR will report on the implementation of the existing, or ‘saved’ policies that are set out in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review 2006. The Local Plan Review was progressed under the old local plan system and policies were ‘saved’ for a period of three years from adoption in 2006. During this period new policies were expected to come forward under the Local Development Framework, however it is taking longer than this to create these new Local Development Documents.

In June 2009 the Council submitted a request to the Secretary of State to extend the life of some of the Local Plan policies and subsequently selected Local Plan policies were saved beyond June 2009. These are contained in the Schedule of Policies Saved and Not Saved, repeated here in appendix 4.

1 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

1.4 This Annual Monitoring Report is structured into six key sections which cover the National Local Development Framework Core Output Indicators (Taken from CLG’s ‘Regional Spatial Strategy and Local Development Framework Core Output Indicators – Update 2/2008’, July 2008). These are:

• Development Control Performance • Housing • Business Development/Retail and Local Services • Transport • Flood Protection and Water Quality • Bio-diversity, Renewable Energy and the Built Environment

1.5 This AMR will be used to identify the key challenges and opportunities facing the District and will enable appropriate policy adjustments and revisions to be made. This reflects the concept of ‘plan, monitor, and manage’, whereby the findings of monitoring feed directly into any review of policy that may be required. However, monitoring may indicate the need to address other aspects beyond reviewing the policies set out in the LDF. For example, it may indicate the need to refine or extend the monitoring framework itself or propose actions in respect to related local strategies and initiatives (e.g. community strategies).

The East Midlands Regional Plan (2009) update and impact on this report

1.6 During the period covered by this monitoring report housing delivery targets derive from the East Midlands Regional Plan which was adopted in March 2009. In July 2010, following the General Election, the new Coalition Government announced that the Regional Plans would be abolished and sought to revoke all such plans (with the exception of that for London) with immediate effect.

At that time the Secretary of State advised that Local Authorities should treat this intention as a material consideration in the plan and decision making process. However following a legal challenge, raised by Cala Homes against this decision, the High Court ruled in November 2010 that Councils should continue to regard Regional Plans as part of the development plan. In response the Government has declared that it maintains committed to abolishing Regional Plans and that this will occur when the new Localism Bill is announced in late 2010.

For the purposes of this report and since the status of the East Midlands Regional Plan was not in question during the 2009/10 period, references are made to targets set out within the Regional Plan. As an interim measure it is expected that these would remain in place until the LDF is sufficiently progressed to set new targets. This view has also been supported by the constituent authorities in Central Lincolnshire that make up the new Joint Planning Committee which is explained further in the next section.

2.0 THE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (LDF): 2010 UPDATE

2.1 Work on separate LDFs for Lincoln, North Kesteven and West Lindsey has now stopped following the formation of the Central Lincolnshire Joint Strategic Planning Committee (CLJSPC). The Committee was formed to plan together for Central Lincolnshire’s future by the formulation, submission, adoption, monitoring and review of a single, Joint Core Strategy and associated planning documents.

2.2 The CLJSP Committee was established in October 2009 comprising representatives from the City of Lincoln Council, North Kesteven District, West Lindsey District Council and Lincolnshire County Council. The Committee has agreed a single Local Development Scheme (LDS) setting out the timetable and key milestones, revised June 2010.

This chapter sets out progress towards meeting the Central Lincolnshire LDS. Work on the LDFs for the three partner districts can be considered to have been abandoned.

Central Lincolnshire LDS

2.3 Work has now begun on a joint LDF for the whole of Central Lincolnshire. The Central Lincolnshire LDF will replace the saved policies of the three District Councils. The LDS is the timetable for producing the LDF and outlines what documents will be produced and when.

2.4 A provisional LDS was approved by the CLJSP Committee in January 2010. The LDS was revised in the light of feedback from the Government Office for the East Midlands (GOEM). An updated and revised LDS was approved by the CLJSP Committee in June 2010. The Central Lincolnshire Joint Planning Unit is awaiting endorsement of the revised LDS from GOEM.

The Central Lincolnshire LDS refers to a number of documents. The position of each document is set out below and summarised in Table 1.

Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)

2.5 The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) sets out how and when the CLJSP committee will involve different sectors of the community in the plan making process. The SCI replaces the individual SCIs previously published for City of Lincoln, North Kesteven and West Lindsey District Councils.

The consultation period for the Draft SCI took place over three weeks in June 2010. All comments received were considered during June/July 2010 and the SCI was approved by the CLJSP committee on 19 July 2010.

Core Strategy Development Plan Document (DPD)

2.6 The Core Strategy is a local development plan document that sets out the overall approach to growth and development. It will set out a vision and spatial objectives for the area and forms the context for more detailed planning policies and decisions.

3 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

Preliminary stakeholder engagement to identify the key issues the Core Strategy should address took place in August/September 2010. This provided organisations and community groups with an opportunity to get involved in the preparation of the Core Strategy at an early stage.

Following the period of preliminary engagement, the Issues and Options is the first stage of formal public consultation on the Core Strategy. This ran for a period of 6 weeks from 25th October to 6th December 2010.

Allocations DPD, South East Quadrant Area Action Plan and Gainsborough Area Action Plan

2.7 Preparation of these documents is due to commence in January 2011.

Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP)

2.8 Growth in Central Lincolnshire will need to be supported by an appropriate level of infrastructure. The Core Strategy will be accompanied by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) and will identify what physical, social and green infrastructure is needed to support the vision for Central Lincolnshire over the period covered by the strategy. A topic paper on infrastructure in Central Lincolnshire was prepared by Lincolnshire County Council to support the Core Strategy Issues and Options consultation. The paper, available on-line at www.n-kesteven.gov.uk/ldf, sets out work undertaken so far by the Joint Planning Unit councils' and their partners.

Sustainability Appraisal

2.9 As part of the LDF preparation, the CLJSP Committee is required to undertake a Sustainability Appraisal (SA) of a plan incorporating Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in accordance with The Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004. The SA should be an assessment of the likely economic, social and environmental effects of the new policies in a plan, incorporating SEA. The overall objective of SA is to ensure that the future local planning policies and proposals developed for LDF documents are consistent with the principles of sustainable development.

2.10 The first stage in this Sustainability Appraisal (SA) process is the preparation of a Scoping Report. This sets out the scope of the SA including level of detail, and a framework of SA objectives and decision making questions. An SA Scoping Report for the Core Strategy was subject to a 5 week period of formal consultation on the scope of the SA between 2nd August and 6th September 2010.

2.11 An Interim SA report was published alongside the Core Strategy Issues and Options report in October 2010. This included a compatibility appraisal of the Draft Core Strategy Objectives against 18 SA Objectives. The report also provided updated SA Scoping information, based on the comments received to the SA Scoping Report consultation. Further SA reports will be made available for consultation alongside the later stages of Core Strategy preparation, and will include appraisal work on both the emerging options and the preferred options.

4 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

Schedule of Local Development Framework Evidence

2.12 All LDF documents must be justifiable, founded on a robust and credible evidence base and the most appropriate strategy when considered against the reasonable alternatives. Table 2 sets out a number of key pieces of evidence that will be used to inform the Central Lincolnshire LDF together with details as to whether they are complete or ongoing. Those completed during the monitoring period are highlighted for information.

2.13 The evidence base required to inform the LDF, in particular the Core Strategy and Allocations DPD, is extensive. The evidence set out in the table in Appendix * is presented by geographical area to allow for ease of reference. A number of the Central Lincolnshire evidence base documents are part of the Ecotowns Initiative (see below).

The Ecotowns Initiative

2.14 In order to ensure that growth in Central Lincolnshire is delivered sustainably the Central Lincolnshire Joint Planning Unit is undertaking three Ecotowns Studies and an Ecotowns demonstrator project to consider the viability of applying Ecotowns standards across the area.

The first of these studies ‘Opportunities for Delivering a Sustainable Future for Central Lincolnshire’ is a two part study that aims to:

• understand Central Lincolnshire and the communities within it as places where people live, the roles and relationships between settlements and how residents meet their social, economic and environmental needs; and

• assess the sustainability implications of a range of development distribution scenarios and the development of specific strategic scale sites, being promoted through the Central Lincolnshire Joint Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA).

2.15 The second is an Energy Study which will evaluate the deliverability of new low or zero carbon developments and identify opportunities for providing energy efficiency measures.

2.16 The third study is a Green Infrastructure Study which will identify how 40% of the development area within eco-development sites can be dedicated to green space and how the balance of biodiversity, nature conservation, leisure and tourism can be accommodated on each site, based on an analysis of each site’s particular opportunities and constraints.

2.17 The demonstrator project will consider how eco standards can be applied to both new build and existing properties through effective design and use of energy and water saving technology.

2.18 The Ecotowns principles will also relate to other themes such as delivering sustainable economic growth, infrastructure delivery, improving access to services and facilities and improving the design and quality of new housing stock.

3.0 WEST LINDSEY DISTRICT PROFILE

Characteristics of West Lindsey

3.1 West Lindsey is a large predominately rural District, covering an area of 1,158 square kilometres (447 square miles), located in the north-west corner of Lincolnshire (Figure 1). The vast majority of the District is used for the production of intensively farmed arable crops and like most of Lincolnshire the topography is flat or slightly rolling in nature. However, West Lindsey is punctuated by the high ground of the Lincolnshire Wolds to the east and the Lincoln Edge, which runs north to south across the middle of the District. Another notable natural feature of the area is the River Trent which forms most of the western boundary of the District.

Figure 1 – West Lindsey map and its position within Lincolnshire

3.2 With a population of 88,900 (Office for National Statistics, Mid-2008 Population Estimate), West Lindsey is a sparsely populated rural area dotted with over 150 villages and other settlements of all sorts and sizes, ranging from secluded and beautifully located hamlets in the Wolds to large commuter villages close to Lincoln. The District has a population density of just 77 persons per square kilometre (based on mid-2008 Population Estimates), and the 2001 Census indicates that it is the most sparsely populated Council within Lincolnshire and the East Midlands Region.

3.3 The largest settlement is the market and industrial town of Gainsborough, in the west, which is the main administrative centre and at the time of the 2001 census, had a population of 16,869 (2001 Census, Parish Area Population Figures). In the eastern half of the District close to the Wolds, lie the small market towns of Caistor (2,601) and Market Rasen (3,230). Other large settlements to be found in West Lindsey include Keelby (2,172) in the north-east and Scotter (2,591) in the north- west of the District. Close to the City of Lincoln can be found the large commuter villages of Saxilby (3,679), Welton (3,821), Nettleham (3,514) and Cherry Willingham (2,947) which although they often exceed the population of the towns of Caistor and

11 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

Market Rasen, they lack the necessary range of services and facilities to be classified as towns in their own right.

3.4 Table 3 illustrates that between mid-1991 and the 2001 census, West Lindsey experienced a 3.8% growth in population. Since the 2001 census, West Lindsey’s population has also grown considerably, by a further 11.8% when observing the Mid- 2008 estimates. It is also anticipated, according to 2006-based ‘Sub National Population Projections’, that West Lindsey’s population will increase by 17% over the 10 year period 2006 to 2016 (amongst the fastest in the Region) (Office for National Statistics / Lincolnshire Research Observatory). Consequently, West Lindsey is anticipated to grow at a rate greater than the Regional and National averages over this period; which have been projected at 11% and 8% respectively (Office for National Statistics / Lincolnshire Research Observatory).

3.5 According to the mid-2007 population estimates, 48.9% of the population residing in West Lindsey were male and 51.1% were female. In mid-2007, 22.7% of the resident population in West Lindsey were of retirement age (65 and over for males or 60 and over for females) comparatively higher than the national average which stands at 18.9% (Office for National Statistics, 2007 Estimate). The breakdown of population for West Lindsey (Figure 2) as obtained from the 2001 Census highlights that there is a shortfall of 20-34 year olds. This age group represents the most mobile sector of the workforce, who are typically the most educated and skilled and who find it easier to gain employment and thus leave the area. At 41 years, the average age of the population in West Lindsey is higher than the national average age of 38.6 years for England and Wales (2001 Census).

3.6 Patterns of deprivation show the extent of diversity and disparity between wards within the District. Gainsborough South West Ward has one of its three Super Output Areas (SOAs) in the bottom 20% and one in the bottom 5% thus causing it to be classed as the most deprived Ward in the District. The second most deprived Ward is Gainsborough East which has two of its four SOAs in the bottom 20% and one in the bottom 10%. In contrast, parts of Nettleham and Welton Wards are within the 5% least deprived in the country, with part of Saxilby being in the 10% least deprived. (Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2007).

3.7 The 2001 Census showed that the overall population of West Lindsey (i.e. 79,515) was largely White British (97.6%) which was 10% higher than the national average (Table 4). Non-white ethnic groups accounted for just 0.8% of the population, with the largest ethnic minority group being Asian or Asian British Indian (0.2%). The percentages of non-white ethnic groups are significantly lower in West Lindsey and Lincolnshire, than the East Midlands and England and Wales.

4.0 DEVELOPMENT CONTROL MONITORING

Introduction

4.1 The Council, in accordance with statutory provisions, has a duty to consider all planning applications submitted to West Lindsey. Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 states that all planning applications submitted to the Council must be determined in accordance with the Development Plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Planning appeal decisions and Enforcement are also dealt with in this context.

4.2 The data that follows is based upon the PS1/2 statistical returns to the Department for Communities and Local Government. The following types of proposal are NOT included in the statistics:

• Prior Notification of Agriculture & Forestry or Telecommunications Development • Prior Notification of Proposals for Demolition • Trees protected by Tree Preservation Orders • Consultations by Neighbouring Authorities • Applications for Hazardous Substances Consent • Applications for Discharge of Conditions

Determinations

4.3 Table 5 below splits determinations into the groupings used for the monitoring of National Indicators and illustrates the percentages of determinations that have been made each year within the target timescales set nationally.

Table 5 – Determination of applications in relation to BVPI targets

‘Minor’ Applications ‘Other’ Applications ‘Major’ Applications (NI157b) (NI157c) (NI157a) Year Number % Determined Number % Determined Number % Determined Determined within Determined within Determined within 8 weeks 8 weeks 13 weeks 2001-02 394 47% 507 73% 36 17% 2002-03 470 38% 693 68% 51 27% 2003-04 486 75% 790 88% 51 67% 2004-05 451 72% 724 87% 60 70% 2005-06 449 76% 688 89% 37 89% 2006-07 406 74% 698 87% 32 91% 2007-08 410 78% 636 88% 39 77% 2008-09 308 60% 484 78% 32 49% 2009-10 243 66% 457 77% 19 63%

4.4 Due to the increase in delegation of decisions to officers, and the official targets for determining planning applications, there were initially some dramatic increases in the percentage of applications being determined overall within their respective target timescales over the 2001/02 to 2007/08 period. The percentage of determinations within respective target periods is down since 2008 and this has resulted in a substantial review of the planning services at the Council. Improvements to the service, such as the introduction of a pre-application advice service and closer 14 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

monitoring will help ensure that future applications are determined within the target timescales.

4.5 Table 6 gives a more detailed breakdown of determinations over the past monitoring year, with numbers of applications refused and approved by development type. For clarification, Major development is classified by the Town & Country Planning (General Development Procedure) 1995 as:

(a) Development of 10 or more dwellings (or where the number is not stated where a site is 0.5 hectares or more); (b) The provision of a building or buildings where the floor space is 1000 square metres or more (or the site is 1 hectare or more)

The definition of a ‘Minor’ planning application is one which is smaller than the ‘major’ but is not a domestic/general householder related proposal.

4.6 Table 6 illustrates that of the 684 determinations in 2009/10 624 (91%) were approved and 60 (9%) were refused The largest individual category of applications was the ‘householder’ category i.e. for extensions to dwellings and the construction of garages etc (327 or 48%). ‘Major’ applications constituted nearly 3% of all applications determined, with ‘Minor’ applications accounting for 36% and the ‘Other’ category with 61% overall.

Planning Appeal Decisions

4.7 Table 7 illustrates that over the period 1st April 2009 to 31st March 2010, 37 appeals were determined, compared to 59 in 2008/09. In terms of the decisions made, 46% were allowed and 54% were dismissed in 2009/10. Overall there has been a notable decline in the percentage of appeals allowed since the publication of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review - First Deposit Draft in September 2003. This trend has continued further as the weight being attached to the Local Plan First Review policies by Inspectors has increased following the adoption in June 2006 of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review.

Enforcement

4.8 Over this monitoring period, some 305 complaints were received relating to unauthorised developments in the District (Table 8), slightly higher than the number of complaints received last year. Whilst overall enforcement complaints in 2009/10 are 14% higher than 2001/02 levels, it is important to note that the number is 30% less than the peak number of complaints received six years ago, during the 2005/06 monitoring period. Each enforcement case is investigated to assess whether action is required. The Council has issued 6 Enforcement Notices and 17 Planning Contravention Notices in 2009/10.

Introduction

5.1 The provision of housing is one of the central themes of any Development Plan. Provision of housing which meets the needs of the community and the aspirations of individuals whilst paying consideration to environmental factors is therefore key to the aims and objectives of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review.

5.2 Central Government Guidance emphasises the need to ensure the retention and creation of vital and viable rural communities, whilst protecting and preserving the countryside. It suggests the main focus of new development should be on existing settlements, promoting sustainable development by strengthening villages and market towns, protecting open space, sustaining local services and reducing the need to travel.

5.3 New residential development will therefore, generally be directed towards the main settlements of the District which have the facilities and services to sustain their role as service centres for surrounding settlements. In other settlements lacking those facilities and services; new residential development will only be allowed under specific circumstances. Gainsborough in particular, identified as a priority for regeneration in the East Midlands Regional Plan and now with Growth Point Status, is the focus for the majority of new residential development.

Method

5.4 A key element of both the Local Plan and the evidence base for the LDF is to ensure that there is sufficient provision of land for housing. The District Council undertakes an Annual Housing Supply Assessment (now part of this AMR; See Appendix 2) or AHSA which records the extent to which the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review Housing Requirements are being met.

5.5 The assessment reviews planning approvals in the past financial year and outstanding planning permissions to track development completions over the year and produce a list of outstanding permissions. It also provides information for a range of other factors, such as brownfield development rates and forms the basis of the following analysis of Housing Development in West Lindsey and the National Core Indicators below.

Housing Supply

5.6 Following the development boom of recent years, with a high level of completions and permissions being granted, the housing delivery requirement set in the Local Plan has already been passed. That plan provided a total requirement of 5,250 additional dwellings (or 350 per annum) for the period 2001 to 2016. As at 1st April 2010 there have been 5,742 completions since the start of the plan period, representing an over supply against Local Plan requirements of 492 dwellings.

5.7 One of the primary objectives of PPS 3 (Housing), published in November 2006, is to establish housing supply figures which satisfy a five year, ten year, and if possible a 15 year period. The following supply figures are taken from the AHSA: . District Supply (as of the 01/04/2009)

Under Construction 383 Outline Planning Permission 345 Full Planning Permission/Reserved Matters 2,056 Residual Local Plan Review Allocations 847 Estimated Windfall Allowance 2009 -2016 (7 Yrs x 49p.a)* 294 Total Supply 3,925

*Windfall Allowance derived from the realistic potential yield of Previously Developed Land (Urban Capacity Study of 2002).

Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)

5.8 The Central Lincolnshire SHLAA was published in March 2010 and provides Housing market Area’s evidence of its future land supply. Planning Policy Statement 3 – Housing (PPS3) produced in November 2006 suggests that all local planning authorities should undertake a SHLAA to evaluate land availability in their area. SHLAA’s are required to provide the evidence base for the Local Development Framework (LDF) and the Regional Plan process. Information from the 2008 West Lindsey SHLAA was carried forward into the joint review in 2010 and this document will be updated on an annual basis to ensure that the Joint Planning Unit can demonstrate a rolling five year supply of housing land.

5.9 The District supply figures above derive from sites within the current planning process only and do not take in to account additional sites that have been identified by the SHLLA as such locations are yet to be assessed strategically for their suitability to accommodate future growth. The SHLAA does however represent a theoretical study of land that is potentially available and thus it will act as important tool in allocating sites through the LDF process. Further information on the SHLAA and a breakdown of all land recorded in the review can be found on the Council website at www.west-lindsey.gov.uk/shlaa.

Housing Trajectory

5.10 The West Lindsey housing trajectory (Table 9) covers the period from 2006 to 2026 in order to coincide with the plan period for the East Midlands Regional Plan (2009).

5.11 Housing trajectories for the whole Central Lincolnshire Housing Market Area are included in a Central Lincolnshire AMR, available from the Joint Planning Unit. 19 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

5.12 The East Midlands Regional Plan sets a housing requirement of 480 additional dwellings per annum, or a total of 9,600 for the plan period 2006 – 2026. This figure applies to the whole of the district of West Lindsey minus the part of the district that is within the Lincoln Principle Urban Area (PUA). Monitoring of the PUA area is undertaken by Lincoln City Council and summarised in the new Central Lincolnshire Annual Monitoring Report.

5.13 Figures 3 & 4 clearly show that the actual and projected completions easily meet the East Midlands Regional Plan requirement of 480 dwellings per annum until the end of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review period 2015/16. It is also important to note that whilst allocations and commitments are currently projected to be built out by end of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review period, by this time the new Central Lincolnshire Joint Planning Unit will have gone through the process of identifying and allocating new sites for development – and this will therefore ensure sufficient future housing delivery. As such, the trajectory is purely intended to be only an illustrative guide to future development in West Lindsey.

5.14 The further along the trajectory you get, particularly past 2016, the less accurate the projections will be, and the more change is likely to be seen as planning policy evolves and the Local Development Framework progresses. Until further housing sites are identified and allocated, it will not be possible to project future completions beyond the period of the existing development plan. Note: This trajectory does not include sites identified in the SHLAA.

Completions

5.15 The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review has an annual requirement of 350 dwellings per annum and a target to achieve the completion of at least 320 dwellings per annum until 2016.

5.16 Figure 5 shows that the above requirement is quite clearly being met and that the annual requirement of 480 dwellings per annum set out in the East Midlands Regional Plan is also being met. Indeed the average completion rate over the past eight years has been 620 dwellings per year. If this completion rate were to be carried forward into the future the residual EMRP housing requirement to 2026 would actually be achieved by 2021 (subject to supply of sufficient sites).

5.17 Figure 6 shows the high level of completions achieved in recent years on Allocated Housing Sites and the amount of Windfall Development that has occurred. The high level of completions seen on allocated sites over recent years is due in part to historical permissions being implemented (planning permissions previously lasted up to five years). The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review saw some 70 greenfield sites in the previous Local Plan of 1998 de-allocated. In October 2001 the Council announced its intention not to grant permission on these sites in the light of Government Guidance in PPG3 (Housing). This helped prevent an exacerbation of the current over-allocation in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review, which is particularly acute in the rural parts of the District. In recent years the development boom, especially in Gainsborough, has also seen allocated housing sites (both greenfield and brownfield) in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review being developed that were not being taken up previously.

5.18 For 2009/10 development on windfall sites exceeds development on allocated sites for the first time. This can be attributed to the limited volume of allocated land that remains within the district. Many allocated sites are now either built-out, have an extant permission or are currently under construction (see table 4 of the Annual Housing Supply Assessment appended to this report). If the district is to continue to grow and deliver a supply of new homes then this trend is likely to continue until further allocated sites are identified through the LDF. This represents a potentially large amount of growth that is not currently set-out in any development plan. Careful management of applications will be necessary to ensure that the principles of sustainable growth are maintained and in many rural areas it is likely that this will mean ensuring a ‘needs’ based analysis of development proposals is undertaken.

5.19 Whilst a key aim of the West Lindsey Local Plan is to focus development in the Towns, and some development into the Primary Rural Settlements, Figures 7 and 8 also show that development in Subsidiary Rural Settlements has been quite significant over the 9 year period 2001-2009/10. Total development in the Primary Rural Settlements over this time is actually higher than development in the Towns

23 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

over the same period. For 2009/10 the trend shows that much of the development has occurred in the towns but development in the primary rural settlements has remained at a proportionately high level.

5.20 Dwellings being built and completed under older but still valid planning permissions, were probably granted under the Adopted Local Plan (1998) which did not operate a Sustainable Development Hierarchy but instead operated in presumption of favour of development within settlement boundaries drawn around all the settlements. In the first few years after the current Local Plan was adopted this will have had an effect on the distribution of growth however, only 62 dwellings (or 1% of the total – Figure 8) have been completed in settlements defined as being within the ‘open countryside over the last 9 years. The strict controls placed upon such development in the current Local Plan have therefore achieved their objectives.

Commitments and Planning Status of Major Windfall Sites

5.21 The Annual Housing Supply Assessment in appendix 2 (Table 2) contains information on housing commitments for all individual settlements within the District as of the 1st April 2010.

Progress towards Implementing Development on Allocated Sites

5.22 Appendix 2 – Table 5 contains a schedule indicating the progress that has been made towards implementing proposals for residential development on sites allocated in the Local Plan First Review. The majority of these allocations have been made in the three Market Towns of Gainsborough, Market Rasen and Caistor; some 2325 dwellings. It is estimated that, based on the average of two adults per household the population will rise by 5%, or approximately 4,650 persons when these allocated housing sites have been completed. This will halt the population decline in the three towns and help to achieve the 5% growth target identified in the Local Plan First Review for these settlements (please see the above appendix for information on the progress that has been made on developing Residential Allocations throughout the District in the past year).

Brownfield Development

5.23 Central Government sets a number of targets Local Authorities should aim to reach; including the national requirement to develop 60% of residential development on brownfield land in order to protect greenfield land (PPS3). As the District is deeply rural in nature the opportunities for brownfield development are limited. The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review set a more realistic target of increasing the percentage of new housing development on previously developed land on a year by year basis with the aim of reaching a target of 40% by 2016. The Council also has economic objectives and Best Value Targets (BV 106) to try and meet with regard to the use of previously developed land for new development. The allocation and windfall allowances set out in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review set a housing strategy based upon a brownfield rate of 37.9%.

5.24 Figure 9 quite clearly shows that the West Lindsey Local Plan Review Target of increasing the amount of brownfield land developed year on year to a figure of 40% by 2016 is not being met. The Council has accepted that previous Best Value Targets over recent years have also been overly ambitious (a performance target of 25% for 2009/10 has also not been met). The low brownfield completions figure achieved for this monitoring period is unlikely to improve in future years as West Lindsey is a largely rural district with relatively few brownfield sites. Those large brownfield sites that existed mainly in Gainsborough have either already been developed or are proving very difficult to develop. Elsewhere in the district a number of the residual allocated sites are brownfield and this further demonstrates the difficulty in bringing forward development in such locations within the district.

Affordable Housing

5.25 Central Government sets out its commitment to ensuring the provision of affordable housing in PPS3 (Housing) which amends the definition of Affordable Housing to no longer include low cost market housing. PPS3 also requires targets to be set for social rented and intermediate (non market rented or shared equity) housing. A community’s need for affordable housing is considered to be a material planning consideration and should be taken into account when determining planning applications. West Lindsey is committed to the aim of ensuring that local people have the opportunity of a decent home, which meets their needs locally and at a price or rent that they can afford.

5.26 The 2003 Housing Needs and Stock Condition Survey for West Lindsey identified an annual need for 55 affordable units, out of the 350 dwellings required annually by the Local Plan. Given that this need is likely to rise over the plan period a target level of 25% affordable housing provision on all housing developments was sought to allow current and future levels of housing need to be met.

5.27 This Local Plan policy was later superseded by the more ambitious affordable housing requirements set out in the East Midlands Regional Plan (2009). The plan does not provide the affordable housing requirement as a percentage, instead it states a total number of affordable units that should be delivered up to 2026. Policy 14 sets out the Regional Priorities for Affordable Housing and provides the target on an Housing Market Area (HMA) basis only, rather than by district. The Central Lincolnshire HMA target is additional 11,800 affordable homes in the period 2006 to 2026. This equates to the need to provide an average minimum delivery of 29% affordable units across all developments.

5.28 The Central and Coastal Lincolnshire Housing Market Assessment, published in October 2007, had previously been used as part of the evidence base that informed the West Lindsey LDF. Since this work ceased, and following the decision to produce a Central Lincolnshire Joint Core Strategy, an updated Housing Market Assessment was commissioned with work commencing in April 2010. It is due to be completed by the end of the year in time to inform the emerging joint policies.

5.29 There are two main approaches to affordable housing operating in the District; both secured through a Section 106 Planning Obligation. The preferred option is for on- site provision. In exceptional circumstances off-site provision, via contribution of a sum of money secured through a legal agreement, may be permitted.

26 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

5.30 Figures from the Housing Investment Programme (HIP Return) – Housing Strategy Statistical Appendix (2009/10) show that 143 affordable units were completed during the monitoring period, representing 37% of all annual housing supply.

Vacant Dwellings

5.31 Within the district, particularly in Gainsborough, there remains a large volume of habitable dwellings that are currently vacant. Vacancy rates had reached over 6% in West Lindsey in recent years and this year’s figure is 4.54%; compared to a regional average of just under 2%. Some housing is arguably reaching the end of its natural life but many empty dwellings are habitable and could make a contribution to affordable housing. The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review seeks to reduce the number of vacant dwellings in the District to reflect the national and regional averages by 2016. Table 10 shows that the Council has steadily been reducing the percentage of vacant dwellings over the past nine years.

Dwelling Types

5.32 The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review with its commitment to ensuring the provision of affordable housing will also seek to provide a range of housing provision in all housing schemes, which together will seek to achieve the provision of balanced communities. In general, the needs, likes and level of affluence of households dictate the type and location of housing. Therefore, it is always important in all new housing schemes to provide a choice of properties to target all housing aspirations which will help to create vibrant and mixed communities. The density of proposals is also important to help achieve sustainable development patterns.

5.33 Providing a range of housing types maximises choice, helps satisfy the many differing housing demands and helps to cater for local needs. PPS3 (Housing) is specific in that it states that new housing developments should avoid the creation of large areas of housing of similar characteristics as they do not generally create mixed and balanced communities. The Council seeks to provide a variety of housing types, sizes and densities including the provision of smaller homes as part of every housing development whatever their size (Policy RES 2 of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review).

27 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

5.34 Providing a wider and more balanced range of housing is a key objective of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review. Figure 10 shows that the Council is starting to address the imbalance that has been reported in previous AMR’s. Delivering a greater mix of housing types is also in line with the objectives of the sustainable communities agenda contained in PPS12.

5.35 Last year’s AMR showed that over 85% of all completions were 3 bed or larger, with very few smaller units. During this year there have been a substantial number of affordable dwellings built and this has increased the proportion of smaller units delivered. Combined, dwellings of 3 or more bedrooms still make up 42% of all completions (just under half of last year’s total), however the largest increase has been in the number of two bedroom units which account for 56% of all new build completions.

Contextual Indicators – Housing and Household Profile

5.36 In the 2001 Census there were 32,872 households in West Lindsey and the average size of a household (2.4 people) is in line with the national average of 2.4 people for England and Wales (Census 2001). The number of households in West Lindsey is currently 40,347 (Housing Flows return, 2010). West Lindsey and Lincolnshire have a higher than average figure of homeowners who own outright compared to the regional and national figures, and lower social rented tenures as illustrated in Figure 11.

5.37 Numbers of detached dwellings in West Lindsey are more than double the average for England and Wales. Semi-detached properties fall just under this average, whilst terraced and flat/maisonette properties fall significantly below the national average, as illustrated Table 11.

5.38 Current average house prices in West Lindsey are similar to the national average (Table 12) and generally higher than County and Regional average figures. House prices over the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review period reflect a steady annual increase. With the exception of the national average house price, which has dropped slightly during 2009/10, the other areas shown have all experienced an overall increase. The data shown is based on actual sales prices during the period.

Gypsy and Traveller Sites (Core Output Indicator H5) and policy update

5.39 As at 1 April 2010 the Gypsy and Traveller site provision in the District comprises; 20 Authorised Pitches, 28 Pitches with temporary permission due to expire during 2010/11, 5 Unauthorised pitches and 4 Authorised or tolerated pitches. These figures are from a report presented to the Council’s Planning Committee on 26th May 2010. No additional pitches have been allocated in this monitoring period.

5.40 The East Midlands Regional Plan (2009) sets out a minimum net additional pitch requirement under Policy 16 – Regional Priorities for Provision for Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople. This information is derived from the Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) which the Regional Plan also recommends should be updated regularly in order to continually maintain an up to date record of local needs in this respect. West Lindsey is given the target of delivering 22 additional pitches in the period 2007 to 2012 with further provision thereafter if identified as necessary by the GTAA at that time.

5.41 During 2008, in part to help deliver the supply of additional pitches, the Council resolved to produce a Gypsy and Traveller DPD. This has not been carried forward by the new Joint Planning Committee and the Central Lincolnshire Local Development Scheme does not specifically name such a Development Plan Document as a separate study. It is therefore anticipated that pitch provision will now be determined through the Core Strategy. For the interim period, ahead of the adoption of the Joint Core Strategy, the Council has approved an interim guidance to use as a means of determining any applications for additional pitches that it receives and to assist with the sites where temporary permissions exist.

Building for Life: Design Assessments (Core Output Indicator H7)

5.42 The authority now has two trained Building for Life assessors however no formal Building for Life assessments have been made during this monitoring period. In 2010 an application was submitted to CABE for further officer training.

This is also in line with the submitted 2010 Regional return. The Core Output Indicators – Update 2/2008 (p.7) states that data in AMR’s should be consistent with other returns and in this respect the same thresholds have been used.

Regional Requirements

6.1 The East Midlands Regional Plan (2009) advises that Local Authorities, the East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA) and sub-regional strategic partnerships should work together in housing market area groups to undertake and keep up to date Employment Land Reviews to inform the allocation of employment land in strategic locations. As such it does not seek to set targets for future provision and therefore an Employment Land review for Central Lincolnshire was completed during this monitoring period.

6.2 The West Lindsey Local Plan First Review has not imposed targets for the provision of employment land, but it has allocated 39.83Ha of land in Gainsborough, 3.62Ha in Market Rasen, 11.00Ha in Caistor, 10.98Ha in the Lincoln Policy Area and 31.7Ha in the Rural Sub-Area. These figures provide a useful indication of what the planning authority thought was necessary for the three towns and the rest of the District in terms of employment land provision. Given the change in circumstances at the Council, with the planning policy team responsibilities having transferred to the new Central Lincolnshire Joint Planning Unit, no review of the employment land allocations took place during this monitoring period.

6.3 National Planning Policy in PPS6 (Planning for Town Centres) seeks to promote the vitality and viability of town centres and ensure the existence of a wide range of facilities, services and retail outlets. In particular there is emphasis on a sequential approach for selecting sites for development for retail and commercial, leisure and other key town centre uses.

6.4 The West Lindsey Local Plan seeks to strengthen the town centres of Gainsborough, Market Rasen and Caistor as primary shopping and service locations, by promoting and enhancing their retail and service functions. Small scale retail development is also allowed in the Primary Rural Settlements of the District because of their service function and to a lesser extent in other settlements within the District. Retail development in the open countryside is unacceptable; because of its affect on the character of the countryside, due to it being unsustainable; requiring access by private car and because viability is unlikely. Policies in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review were informed by a ‘Retail and Commercial Leisure Study’ produced by Drivas Jonas in 2001. A revised version of this study was published in September 2008 and will inform the emerging Central Lincolnshire Local Development Framework.

6.5 During this monitoring period there were no developments that exceeded the minimum size thresholds (detailed under the National Core Indicator table below).

Contextual Indicators (Parts 1 & 2) – Education, Skills & Employment Profile

6.6 West Lindsey forms part of the Lincolnshire Local Education Area. In the academic year 2006/07 (the last year for which data was readily available), 64.7% of pupils achieved 5 or more grades A* - C at GCSE or equivalent (slightly down on the figure achieved for 2005/06 (64.9) but up significantly from 61.8% in 2004/05), compared to 64.4% in Lincolnshire, 58% in the East Midlands and 60.4% in England (Office for National Statistics, 2008). The population of West Lindsey as a whole however, is below the national average for Level 3 and Level 4/5 qualifications as illustrated in Table 13 and Figure 13, however it should be noted that this information is based upon 2001 Census figures and it is likely that the actual figures may now differ.

6.7 Employment rates in West Lindsey, as illustrated in Table 14, are higher than the average for England and Wales as well as both those of Lincolnshire and the East Midlands. Unemployment (Claimant Counts) for West Lindsey, standing at 2.3% of the population, is marginally less than the national average of 2.5%, equal to that of the Region, and a little higher than the figure for the whole of Lincolnshire (2.1%) (Office for National Statistics, Local Area Employment Data 2007).

The employment profile in West Lindsey is generally weighted towards public administration, education and health, over other employment types. This is also reflected in the types of occupation, whereby skilled trades, process and elementary occupations are higher than the national average, and occupations such as managerial and professional occupations are below the national average.

For District-wide (Parish) analysis, see below.

Settlement Services and Facilities Audit.

6.10 During 2006, West Lindsey District Council carried out an Audit to provide up-to- date information on the services and facilities to be found in Settlements defined in Policy STRAT 3 – ‘Settlement Hierarchy’ of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review 2006, and in the wider Parish areas of the 124 Rural Parishes that make up West Lindsey. The audit did not consider the services and facilities contained within the three towns of Caistor, Market Rasen and Gainsborough, as was intended that these areas will be subject to separate audits.

6.11 This work built on, and updated a less detailed audit undertaken in 2004, and was subsequently amended in December 2007 in order to take account of the announced rationalisation of Post Office services across the Country, and to allow the addition of a new settlement in the form of the privatised housing adjacent to RAF Scampton. The 2006 Audit (incorporating the 2007 amendment) forms a key component of the Evidence Base for the emerging Local Development Framework, by identifying those areas that lack key local services and facilities, and those locations which are likely to prove more sustainable. Key points from the audit are:

The Positives…

• 51% or just over half of all rural Parishes have a Village Hall. • 42% of Parishes have a Public House. • 85% of Parishes have access to a Place of Worship. • 63 Parishes have access to Library services through the provision of mobile and fixed services.

36 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

The Negatives…

• 71% of Parishes do not have a Village Shop/Convenience Store. • Nine Parishes with a 2001 Census population of over 500 do not contain a Village Shop/Convenience Store. • Only 28% of Parishes have a Rural Post Office. • There are only 16 Garages selling petrol across the entire District (excluding the towns of Gainsborough, Market Rasen and Caistor). • 66% of Parishes do not have access to recreation facilities in terms of playing fields. • 86% of Parishes do not have a locally based GP/Doctors Surgery. • There is only one Bank in the District located outside of the three towns and only 10 Parishes have access to a Cashpoint.

6.12 It is clear that there is a continuing problem of access to services and facilities in the rural parishes. The problem of accessing services and facilities that meet resident’s day to day needs is a situation that needs to be addressed, and in recent years has been acknowledged by European, National and Local Government, who have made resources and funds available to tackle the problem of rural accessibility.

6.13 The 2006 (including 2007 amendment) Audit tables in Appendix 4 obviously show that there is a strong relationship between the population size of a particular Settlement/Parish and the likelihood of there being for instance a Village Shop, Post Office, Petrol Station or any of the other facilities surveyed in the Audit. In essence, Settlements/Parishes with small populations are less likely to have an adequate range of facilities meeting daily needs, compared with those Settlements/Parishes with larger populations. Nevertheless, the Audit does quite clearly show some often dramatic differences in the provision of services and facilities in Settlements/Parishes with roughly the same population.

6.14 The Audit highlights that a growing and positive trend over recent years with services being combined in order to continue to survive. There are numerous examples of this across West Lindsey, but most notably in Corringham, where the Post Office is housed in a Butchers Shop and the Village Shop/Convenience Store is to be found in a Petrol Filling Station. Mobile services such as libraries, Hairdressers and shops also provide facilities to the more remote Parishes of the District while keeping costs to a minimum.

Accessibility Audit

6.15 The West Lindsey Accessibility Audit was completed in May 2007. It is intended to accompany the Services and Facilities Audit, and provide a snapshot of the modes of transport available to the settlements and Parishes of West Lindsey. As such, the Audit provides a broad indication of the accessibility of the different settlements and Parishes (in terms of alternatives to the private car), which will in turn inform the debate on the Settlement Hierarchy as the Local Development Framework progresses. It should be noted that whilst the Audit looks at the transport opportunities in settlements/parishes, it does not provide detail about the frequency of such transport opportunities, which is evidently a key factor in how accessible services and facilities are outside of local communities, and particularly pertinent for those residents who do not have access to a private car. More details of the findings of the Accessibility Audit are provided in Section 7 - ‘Transport’.

37 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

Open Spaces and Recreational Allocations

6.16 Open spaces within a settlement are as important as the buildings in giving a settlement its unique character and form. They provide welcome breaks in the street scene and many allow views of the surrounding open countryside to be enjoyed within the settlement. In order to ensure the character of settlements is retained and to prevent development cramming, 191 areas of Important Open Space have been allocated across the District.

6.17 These areas of Important Open Space often protect existing playing fields and recreational areas, but the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review has also allocated six specific areas of land for Recreational Area Allocations (and 3 settlements where the provision of new recreational facilities is connected with the development of allocated housing sites). The sites identified do not necessarily require facilitating development to occur in order for them to be developed. They have been identified as schemes that the local communities are already developing. Allocating land is the first step in allowing schemes to move forward and often aids grant funding.

6.18 Work on the West Lindsey Open Space study that was outlined in the previous AMR has now stopped following the formation of the Central Lincolnshire Joint Planning Unit. A Central Lincolnshire based study will now be progressed by that team but a date is yet to be put forward to suggest when that work might commence.

Car Parking Standards

7.1 Planning applications in West Lindsey are considered against Appendix 9 Vehicle and Cycle Parking Standards of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review in order to ensure a consistent standard is applied across the District.

West Lindsey Accessibility Audit (2007)

7.2 The West Lindsey Accessibility Audit was completed in May 2007. It is intended to accompany the Services and Facilities Audit, and provide a snapshot of the modes of transport available to the settlements and Parishes of West Lindsey. As such, the Audit provides a broad indication of the accessibility of the different settlements and Parishes (in terms of alternatives to the private car), which will in turn inform the debate on the Settlement Hierarchy as the Local Development Framework progresses. In particular it will help inform the debate on the approach to the location of new development within the District. The Audit does not consider the transportation services available to the 3 towns of Gainsborough, Caistor and Market Rasen, as it is intended that these areas will be subject to separate audits in the future.

7.3 The Accessibility Audit 2007 should be read in conjunction with the Services and Facilities Audit 2006 (including 2007 amendment). As set out in Section 6 the Services and Facilities Audit acknowledges the importance of the provision of services close to where people live, contributing to a sustainable pattern of development which is a core principle of the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review, and will be carried forward into the Local Development Framework. The Accessibility Audit adds to the Services and Facilities Audit by looking at how accessible settlements are to each other (and therefore their service and facilities) without the use of, and reliance upon a personal car.

7.4 The results from the Accessibility Audit 2007 highlight the continuing problem of a lack of access to regular scheduled bus services for many of the small rural settlements across the District - although the study does also highlight that there are other frequent and flexible services available to residents across much of the 39 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

District. There were instances however of settlements not having access to any form of public transport or taxi service.

7.5 The main points to come out of the 2007 Study were:

• 64% of Settlements has access to a scheduled Stagecoach service. • 36% didn’t have access to a scheduled Stagecoach service, however of these 36%, 71% had an alternative bus service , i.e. Call Connect or Interconnect. • 3% of settlements had no access to any public transport of any description or taxi service and had to rely on walking or cycling to access other settlements. • Saxilby was the only settlement that had a rail service (although other settlements could access Gainsborough and Saxilby rail services by walking, cycling or bus. • 15% of settlements were not within walking distance of another.

When looking at this Audit in conjunction with the Services and Facilities Audit 2006, it becomes apparent that many of these settlements do not have an adequate range of facilities to meet the inhabitant’s daily needs, and also do not have the means to access those available in other settlements without the use of a private car. Furthermore, frequency of services is not considered in the Audit, so it is also important to note that whilst it may appear that some settlements have relatively good access to other settlements, the frequency of the available transport may not improve accessibility a great deal if services are particularly limited.

Contextual Indicators – Transport Profile

7.6 Choice of transport to work in West Lindsey is predominantly by car (Table 15). This illustrates the rural nature of the district and the reliance on private transport rather than the use of public transport options. West Lindsey has an average 9% higher use of private car and van use than the national figure and generally shows under-average use of public transport alternatives.

In West Lindsey, 45.6% of the population own one car or van which is similar to the national average of 43.8% for England and Wales. The number of people who do not own a car is significantly below the national average (at 17.4% and 26.8% respectively), whilst the percentage of the population owning 2+ cars is again, generally higher than the national average (2001, Census).

Introduction

8.1 Due consideration of fluvial and surface water flood risk is an important part of the planning process given the expected rise in sea levels, possible increases in storm activity and other changes in weather patterns associated with climate change. PPS25 (December 2006) underpins the need to consider this issue as a key element of sustainability, and flood risk is a material consideration in decision making on planning applications.

8.2 Built development in flood risk areas may impede or divert the flow of floodwater. Development on or adjacent to floodplains can reduce the capacity of the floodplain to manage floodwaters, and have the potential to adversely affect water quality. The Council will allow development in areas of actual flood risk only where it is necessary for regeneration purposes or where it can be shown that it must be located in the flood risk area. In both cases a clear mitigation strategy must be in place and the sequential test elements of PPS 25 passed. On advice from the Environment Agency the Council will impose conditions requiring the most rigorous flood defence measures and Sustainable Urban Drainage systems (SUDs).

Flood Risk and the West Lindsey Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA)

8.3 The Council takes due regard of the advice provided by the Environment Agency concerning flooding and takes a strong line in respect of development likely to be at risk or to exacerbate flooding concerns.

42 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

8.4 Full information on flood risk is contained within the West Lindsey Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA, 2009). The assessment covers the whole of the district and represents the most up to date and reliable information on development and flood risk that is available in the District. It can be viewed at the Council’s main office or online at www.west-lindsey.gov.uk/sfra. The assessment was created in partnership with the Environment Agency and a number of other key stakeholders including neighbouring local authorities. A review of the Lincoln Policy Area SFRA has also been completed during this monitoring period.

8.5 A Level One SFRA has been carried out for the entire district with a more detailed Level Two assessment for four specific study areas. PPS25 states that Level Two studies (which also take account the future effects of climate change) are necessary where development is planned or for sites of strategic importance. To this end, Gainsborough, Market Rasen, Saxilby and Bardney were selected for Level Two assessments. The first two were selected due to their township status and known presence of flood risk. Future development in each of these areas is likely and some of the existing allocated sites, notably the brownfield sites adjacent to the River Trent in Gainsborough, have particular flood risk issues.

8.6 Saxilby and Bardney were selected as two further study areas for Level Two assessments to ascertain whether further developments in these areas would be acceptable on flood risk grounds. This will inform site selection process at the next allocations stage and help guide where an exceptions test is required.

8.7 A West Lindsey Water Cycle Study was recommended in the SFRA and such a study is also a requirement for Growth Point locations. During this monitoring period two Water Cycle Studies were completed. Combined, these studies cover all parts of the District and were produced in parallel to ensure consistency. The Gainsborough Water Cycle Study covers the town and a small number of adjacent villages. The Central Lincolnshire Water Cycle Study covers the remainder of the District as well as the whole of North Kesteven District and the City of Lincoln. As with the SFRA, the Water Cycle Studies were developed in partnership with neighbouring Local Authorities, the Environment Agency and with detailed input from both Anglian Water and Severn Trent Water.

8.8 The Environment Agency objected to three applications on grounds of Water Quality during the 2009/10 monitoring period of which two were granted with conditions.

8.9 Table 17 shows that the Environment Agency objected to a total of 24 applications on Flood Risk (defence) grounds during 2009/10. Of these, 8 were subsequently withdrawn by the applicant. Out of the remaining 16; one application has yet to be determined; one was dealt with as an informal enquiry, and three were refused.

8.10 Eleven applications were granted consent (all with conditions) contrary to the initial objections from the EA. Of these a total of nine applications received objections because a site-based Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) had either not been submitted with the application at all or because the FRA submitted was not to the required standard.

8.11 The remaining two applications that were granted consent contrary to EA advice were on grounds of ‘risk to the development’ in the case of application number 123392 (an application for a caravan site) and because the sequential test set out in PPS25 had not been completed to the EA’s satisfaction.

8.12 Flood risk therefore remains a prominent planning issue and the sharp increase in objections made by the EA indicates that the tighter controls introduced by PPS 25 are being well implemented by the EA. There is a clear need for developers to improve the quality of site specific Flood Risk Assessments that are submitted with applications where flood risk is present. A ‘Developers Guide’ is planned for production during the next monitoring period which will be produced by the EA and assist developers in submitting the correct level of information with planning applications. This would have clear benefits for Planning Officers and also reduce the likeliness of delays in the determination process.

Introduction

9.1 In recent years there has been an unprecedented development pressure on the traditional landscapes and wildlife habitats found in the natural environment. The realisation that so much has been lost, in terms of landscape quality and ecological value has resulted in a growing awareness of the need to safeguard the natural beauty of the countryside for its own sake. Not only in the specially designated areas (these are the areas where the landscape is considered particularly special, including The Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and areas identified to be of Great Landscape Value). The protection and improvement of the environment has great relevance for the countryside which in terms of area is by far the majority of West Lindsey.

9.2 The Council aims to protect and enhance the natural environment by affording protection to Biodiversity through mechanisms such as the Lincolnshire Biodiversity Action Plan. It also seeks to protect woodlands and wider landscape character.

NATIONAL CORE INDICATORS Biodiversity April 2009 – March 2010 E2: Change in areas of biodiversity No up to date information available importance (landscapes designated for for 2009/10 their intrinsic environmental value including sites of international, national, regional, sub-regional or local significance i.e. SSSI/SNCI’s etc)

Landscape Designations

9.3 A large part of the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is within the District. The AONB, designated in 1973, covers about 156 square kilometres (60 square miles) of the eastern part of the District to the north-east of Market Rasen and east of Caistor. The Countryside and Rights of

45 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

Way Act 2000 (CRoW Act) created a new statutory duty for all AONB Local Authorities to publish and review AONB Management Plans. The Lincolnshire Wolds AONB Management Plan (2004-09), complements policies in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review and helps to formulate partnership policies, and action for protecting and enhancing this special place. The Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service are currently undertaking a review of the AONB Management Plan (to take it forward to 2009-14) in order to ensure that this document continues to be the key reference point when undertaking work or strategies within or adjacent to the AONB.

9.4 The Countryside within West Lindsey consists of a variety of landscapes, which when combined together; produce a landscape of unique character and pattern. Outside of the statutorily designated Lincolnshire Wolds AONB there are a number of landscape elements within the District which are of particular long-standing importance to the District. Areas of Great Landscape Value (AGLV) were first designated in the 1952 Lindsey County Development Plan and have been carried forward ever since in subsequent development plans. In order to justify the retention of this local designation West Lindsey commissioned a Landscape Character Assessment in 1999 (amplified further into the Countryside Design Summary supplementary planning guidance published in 2003) which provides a thorough and robust justification for retaining this local landscape designation. The AGLV includes the Lincoln Cliff, land adjoining and extending north and west from the AONB and the land to the north, east and south of Gainsborough.

9.5 Central Government aims to protect Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSl’s) and National Nature Reserves (NNR’s) in order to meet international obligations for nature conservation, and to sustain or enhance the bio-diversity of the wider countryside. SSSI’s have been afforded statutory protection under British law; such is their national importance that the Council believes that development should only be permitted in exceptional circumstances, where there is a national interest which cannot be met in another location. Fourteen SSSI’s have been designated in West Lindsey, being mostly woodland in the south-east quadrant of the District, but other habitats, e.g. ponds and quarries are included. Only one of these SSSI’s has also been designated as a National Nature Reserve within West Lindsey, the Bardney Lime Woods (Wickenby Wood) which is in a favourable condition according to Natural England when it was last surveyed. The latest figures compiled by Natural England in 2008 show that in West Lindsey, 81.3% of the land designated as SSSI is in either ‘Favourable’ or ‘Recovering’ condition. This represents a slight improvement from figures calculated in previous years.

9.6 Planning and other legislation enables the designation of various categories of sites of nature conservation; this includes international, national, regional and local. Local Designations do not have the benefit of statutory protection; however the Council is of the view that the protection of only statutory sites would not be sufficient to enable the satisfactory protection of wildlife interest in West Lindsey. Since the 1970’s Sites of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCIs) and Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) have been identified by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and others on the basis of good knowledge, but without assessment against any formal criteria. Many of these sites have not been visited for at least twenty years. There are also nine identified Regionally Important Geological or Geomorphological Sites (RIGs) and forty two Ancient Woodlands within West Lindsey, which have been designated by Natural England.

This figure represents a decrease in emissions from 9.50ktco2 from the previous year.

Introduction

9.7 Through the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review the Council seeks to reflect the recent international thrust to conserve energy and embrace renewable energy creating methods in order to tackle climate change. Although the Council encourages the development of renewable energy resources, no development is without environmental impact. Full consideration of the natural and built environment must be fully assessed against any proposal. This is particularly important in terms of wind farms, which are primarily restricted to those areas of the highest most reliable wind speed. In West Lindsey these areas are found in the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where the environmental impact of these structures is likely to be high.

9.8 The last available estimates of Co2 emissions for West Lindsey, published by DEFRA in 2006, show a total emissions per capita figure 8.93 ktco2. This represents a 6% decrease in emissions on the previous year estimate of 9.50ktco2.

Introduction

9.11 The Council through the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review aims to protect Conservation Areas, Listed Buildings, archaeological remains and the built environment generally. There are currently no National Core Indicators in respect of the Built Environment.

Conservation

9.12 The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act empowers the Council to designate Conservation Areas which are specific areas that are considered to be of special architectural interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. The District contains 25 Conservation Areas, where the Council will ensure that any development is appropriate, well designed and sympathetic to the character of the area. All 25 conservation areas have adopted Conservation Area Appraisals. All Conservation Area Appraisals will be reviewed in a rolling programme to ensure they are up-to-date in line with BVPI (219b) targets.

9.13 The Council has a duty to consider the desirability of preserving and enhancing Listed Buildings. The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act defines the grades of Listed Building. Grade 1 buildings are of exceptional interest and nationally account for only 2% of all Listed Buildings. Grade 2* buildings are important buildings which are of more than special interest. The remainder are Grade 2 and are of special interest. There are 810 Grade 2 listed buildings in West Lindsey and of these, 35 are currently included on the ‘Listed Buildings at Risk Register’.

9.14 There are a relatively high number of sites containing archaeological interest in West Lindsey reflecting the rich history of the District. Some sites are considered to

48 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

be of special importance because they are a fine or interesting example from a particular period. Such sites or structures are known as Scheduled Ancient Monuments (SAMs) of which there are 102 within the District. As well as the SAMs, there remain many other sites which are of archaeological interest and it is the Council’s intention to protect West Lindsey’s archaeological heritage by offering protection to not just the SAMs but to other sites of varying importance within the District.

9.15 English Heritage maintains the statutory list of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest. In addition, the Council has undertaken research and identified a further list of parks, gardens or other formally laid out areas in the District. Whilst these areas may not have the special historic interest that is attached to those identified by English Heritage, they are important to the District because of their local historical significance and/or visual effect of their formal layout. The Council will not permit development which would harm the character, appearance, setting or features of the 4 English Heritage designated and 52 locally designated Historic Parks and Gardens in West Lindsey.

APPENDIX 1 – LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK CORE OUTPUT INDICATORS*

Introduction

*Taken from CLG’s ‘Regional Spatial Strategy and Local Development Framework Core Output Indicators – Update 2/2008’ (July 2008). Refer to Update 2/2008 for the detailed definitions underpinning the Core Output Indicators listed below.

Unless specified, figures are monitored for the whole Local Authority area. They are measured on an annual basis for the period 1st April to 31st March in terms of new development, schemes or production occurring (where such schemes are either approved or completed/developed). In many components of the West Lindsey Annual Monitoring Report, the required Core Output Indicators are supplemented by additional information (and other National Indicators) in order to give a more detailed picture of ‘spatial planning outcomes’ in the District over the monitoring period.

The recent revision of Core Output indicators in Update 2/2008 is predominantly limited to the rationalisation, clarification and update of indicator definitions to reflect current government guidance, and the establishment of a new set of National Indicators. Whilst published outside of the current monitoring period, Update 2/2008 should be taken into account, where possible, in the 2007/08 AMR. The majority of changes should have minimal impact on existing data collection and reporting processes. Of course, the removal of indicators from the Core Output Indicator set should not prevent their future collection and reporting within the AMR where they are necessary to monitor the implementation of spatial strategies or to reflect requirements of other government guidance. Indeed, useful information based on previous Indicators is still provided in the Transport and Local Services sections of the West Lindsey AMR for example. Nevertheless, the key changes in the July 2008 update are set out at the end of this appendix for reference purposes:

Business Development and Town Centres

• BD1: Total amount of additional employment floorspace – by type; To show the amount and type of completed employment floorspace (gross and net) (Floorspace should be measured in ‘gross internal’ square meters). Employment floorspace type is defined by the Use Class Orders B1 (a), B1 (b), B1 (c), B2 and B8. • BD2: Total amount of employment floorspace on previously developed land – by type; To show the amount and type of completed employment floorspace (gross) coming forward on previously developed land (PDL) as defined in Annex B of PPS3 (express as percentage). • BD3: Employment land available – by type; To show the amount and type of employment land available (hectares). Land available should include (i) sites allocated for employment uses in Development Plan Documents, and (ii) sites for which planning permission has been granted for employment uses, but not included in (i). Employment land and uses are defined as Use Class Order B1 (a), B1 (b), B1 (c), B2 and B8.

51 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

• BD4: Total amount of floorspace for ‘town centre uses’; To show the amount of completed floorspace (gross and net) for town centre uses within (i) town centre areas (as defined by Local Planning Authorities) and (ii) the local authority area. Town centre uses are defined as Use Class Orders A1, A2, B1a, and D2.

Housing

• H1: Plan period and housing targets; To show the planned housing period and provision. This should identify the source of the housing target used in the housing trajectory and the total amount of housing planned to be delivered over the period. Where there is more than one plan applying across the housing trajectory, details should also be provided. • H2(a): Net additional dwellings – in previous years; To show recent levels of housing delivery. Figures should be provided annually for the previous five year period or since the start of the relevant plan period, whichever is the longer. • H2(b): Net additional dwellings – for the reporting year; To show levels of housing delivery for the reporting year. ‘Net additional dwellings’ are calculated as new build completions, minus demolitions, plus any gains or losses through change of use and conversions. A dwelling is defined (in line with the 2001 Census definition) as a self contained unit of accommodation. • H2(c): Net additional dwellings – in future years; To show likely future levels of housing delivery. This aspect of the trajectory should illustrate the level of net additional housing expected to come forward over at least a 15 year period or up to the end of the plan period, whichever is the longer. The 5 year period starting after the current monitoring year should set out the net additional dwellings expected to come forward each year over the period, from ready to develop sites identified as part of the plan’s approach to housing. This information should be accompanied by the (i) area (in hectares) and (ii) the annualised plan target applying to each of the five years. The remaining period of the 15 year trajectory should identify the net additional dwellings expected to come forward each year, from developable sites and (where appropriate) broad locations identified as part of the plan’s approach to housing. • H2(d): Managed delivery target; To show how likely levels of future housing are expected to come forward taking into account the previous years performance - The net additional dwellings expected to come forward each year over the remaining plan period to meet the overall housing requirement set out in the relevant development plan document. This should take into account the previous delivery of net additional dwellings since the start of the plan period. • H3: New and converted dwellings – on previously developed land; To show the number of gross new dwellings being built upon previously developed land (PDL). This indicator should report only those gross completions (new build dwellings plus gains from change of use and conversions) on PDL as a total of all gross completions (express as percentage).

52 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

• H4: Net additional pitches (Gypsy and Traveller); To show the number of Gypsy and Traveller pitches delivered. Transit and permanent pitches should be identified separately. Only authorised pitches should be counted. • H5: Gross affordable housing completions; To show affordable housing delivery (total supply of social rent housing and intermediate housing, as set out in PPS3 – ‘Planning Policy Statement 3’) Affordable housing is measured in gross terms i.e. the number of dwellings completed, through new build, acquisitions and conversions. This does not take account of losses through sales of affordable housing and demolitions. • H6: Housing Quality – Building for Life Assessments; To show the level of quality in new housing development. The number and proportion of total new build completions on housing sites reaching very good, good, average and poor ratings against the (CABE) ‘Building for Life’ criteria. A housing site should only be included where it involves at least 10 new dwellings that have been completed.

Environmental Quality

• E1: Number of planning permissions granted contrary to Environment Agency advice on flooding and water quality grounds; To show numbers of developments which are potentially located where (i) they would be at risk of flooding or increase the risk of flooding elsewhere and, (ii) adversely affect water quality. This information should only include unresolved objections from the Environment Agency. • E2: Change in areas of biodiversity importance; To show losses or additions to biodiversity habitat. This should include Sites of Special Scientific Interest, Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation and other local sites. • E3: Renewable energy generation; To show the amount of renewable energy generation by installed capacity and type. Installed capacity (megawatts) should be reported for (a) renewable energy developments / installations granted planning permission and (b) completed renewable energy developments / installations. Only on- shore renewable energy developments / installations should be reported. This does not include any developments / installations permitted by a general development order.

Minerals (For Mineral Planning Authorities and RPBs only)

• M1: Production of primary land won aggregates by mineral planning authority; Figures should be provided in tonnes, and aggregates broken into categories. • M2: Production of secondary and recycled aggregates by mineral planning authority; (in addition to primary won sources). Recycled aggregate is construction, demolition and excavation waste recycled for use as aggregate.

Waste (For Waste Planning Authorities and RPBs only)

53 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

• W1: Capacity of new waste management facilities by waste planning authority; To show the capacity and operational throughput of new waste management facilities as applicable (cubic meters, tonnes or litres). • W2: Amount of municipal waste arising, and managed by management type by waste planning authority; To show the amount of municipal waste arising and how that is being managed by type (tonnes).

Key Changes in the 2/2008 Update to Core Output Indicators:

Removed Indicators:

• 1e Losses of employment land in (i) employment/regeneration areas and (ii) local authority area. • 1f Amount of employment land lost to residential development • 2c Percentage of new housing densities • 3a Amount of completed non residential development complying with car parking standards • 3b amount of new residential development within 30 minutes of key services • 4c Amount of eligible open spaces managed to green flag award standard • 8 (i) change in priority habitats and species by type

New Indicators:

APPENDIX 2 - WEST LINDSEY ANNUAL HOUSING SUPPLY ASSESSMENT

INTRODUCTION

West Lindsey occupies the north-western corner of Lincolnshire. It is a large district covering an area of 1,156 square kilometres (447 square miles) of predominantly open countryside, much of which is arable land. West Lindsey has a sparsely populated rural landscape of some charm, which includes areas of recognised landscape beauty and 100 or so villages of great variety. The largest settlement is the market and industrial town of Gainsborough, in the west, with approximately 20,000 inhabitants. In the eastern part of the District, lie the two smaller attractive market towns of Caistor and Market Rasen. Adjoining the southern boundary of the District is the City of Lincoln.

For the purposes of allocating land for housing, in the West Lindsey Local Plan First Review, the Council’s strategy was to concentrate most large-scale new residential development in the urban areas. In terms of the Annual Housing Supply Assessment these areas are: Gainsborough, Caistor and Market Rasen (inc. Middle Rasen).

This approach is designed to promote full and effective use of land within the urban areas to assist in their regeneration, as well as relieving pressure for development in the countryside. It does however allow for modest new housing development in the villages, to help sustain rural communities and their services and facilities, whilst seeking to protect the best of the environment and areas of character. It will help ensure that jobs and homes are reasonably close to each other.

Prior to the 2001 study the Housing Provision figures for the district of West Lindsey were broken down into 3 policy sub-areas as follows: Towns – Gainsborough (including Morton and Lea), Market Rasen (including Middle Rasen) and Caistor; the parts of West Lindsey included in the Lincoln Travel to Work Area (TTWA); and the rest of the district, being called the Rural Area in this document.

Since 2001 the policy sub area split has been the Towns, but no longer including Lea and Morton, the Lincoln Policy Area and the Rural Area. The Lincoln Policy Area differs from the TTWA in that it is more closely focussed upon the hinterland of the City. For ease of reference the following tables and schedules have been re- organised into these policy sub-areas.

Housing Supply in the District

The appropriate methodology for assessing housing supply used to be set out in an annex of Planning Policy Guidance 3 (PPG3) – Housing. However this is no longer the case under the new Planning Policy Statement 3 (PPS3) – Housing which was published in December 2006.

This Housing Supply Assessment sets out the supply against the following example scenarios:

1 The West Lindsey Local Plan (2006) requirements;

55 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

2 Recent average build rates (average against all completions since 2001; and

3 The East Midlands Regional Plan (2009) requirements. Note: This plan was revoked by Central Government in July 2010. The housing requirements set out in that plan will now be tested through the emerging Central Lincolnshire Joint Core Strategy. They are included here as a ‘baseline’ which it is planned will form the starting point of the Core Strategy consultation.

Example 2 - Assessment against average build rates 2001 – 2009/10

Towns Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2008/09 (8 Years) have been 226 dwellings. The remaining supply of 2,291 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 10.1 years supply.

Caistor Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2009/10 (9 Years) have been 10 dwellings. The remaining supply of 345 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 34.5 years supply.

Gainsborough Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2009/10 (9 Years) have been 148 dwellings. The remaining supply of 1,659 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 11.2 years supply.

Market Rasen Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2009/10 (9 Years) have been 69 dwellings. The remaining supply of 287 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 4.2 years supply*.

Lincoln Policy Area Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2009/10 (9 Years) have been 252 dwellings. The remaining supply of 1,241 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 4.9 years supply*.

Rural Area Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2009/10 (9 Years) have been 160 dwellings. The remaining supply of 431 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 2.7 years supply*.

District Wide Average Annual Completions Rates 2001-2009/10 (9 Years) have been 638 dwellings. The remaining supply of 3,963 dwellings, based upon that average build rate, represents 6.2 years supply.

* Note; these parts of the district have already experienced an over-supply against Local Plan requirements, e.g. by 1st April 2010 the total number of completions had exceeded the total required for the whole 2001-2016 Local Plan Period. Therefore growth in these areas may be constrained to ensure a balanced delivery of housing is achieved across the district.

59 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

Example 3 – Assessment against Regional Plan Requirements

For consistency with the previous Annual Housing Supply Assessment, below is an assessment of supply against the requirements of the East Midlands Regional Plan, adopted March 2009.

Following this monitoring period, in July 2010, the Regional Plan was revoked by the Secretary of State. The housing requirements set out in that plan will now be tested through the emerging Central Lincolnshire Joint Core Strategy. They are included here as a ‘baseline’ which it is planned will form the starting point of the Core Strategy consultation which will commence in October 2010.

The housing requirement figure for West Lindsey set out in the Regional Plan was not however a ‘whole of the district’ figure. It did not include contributions from parts of West Lindsey which are within the Lincoln PUA (Principle Urban Area). Only a very small part of the district lies within the PUA and the figures below have been adjusted so that supply against the Regional Plan requirements can be calculated.

The total supply across the district at 1st April 2010 is 3,963 dwellings, of which 374 dwellings would be delivered within the PUA. 3,589 dwellings is therefore the supply for the whole of the district minus the PUA.

Against East Midlands Regional Plan (2009) requirements, supply would be as follows:

Supply in West Lindsey* 3,589 (*total supply for West Lindsey minus the part of the district in the PUA)

East Midland Regional Plan Requirement 480 dwellings per annum

= 7.5 years supply

POPULATION: 85 West Lindsey District Council Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10

2001 – 2001 Census Figures for the Population of Parish Areas; this is the lowest level which information is available.

2006 Estimate – Based upon housing completions for each settlement 2001-2006 multiplied by 2.1 persons per household it is possible to give an unofficial estimated 2006 population for the base date of the LDF. It is important to emphasise that this is an unofficial estimate as it does not take into account any population decline which may have occurred during this period as that information is not available.
