Hull Local Plan to 2030 Preferred Options October/November 2015 Consultation Statement

Introduction This document provides a summary of the Preferred Options consultation that Hull City Council undertook in 2015 as part of the process of preparing a new Local Plan.

Background Hull City Council is preparing a new Local Plan that will help shape the city over the next 15 years. This will identify land for different types of use and set out policies that will be used to determine planning applications. Once adopted, the Local Plan will be used to guide development in the city up to 2032.

Consultation on Issues and Options was carried out in 2014 and full details can be found in the Report on Consultation on that stage of the plan.

Consultation on the Preferred Options is the second stage in the new Local Plan’s preparation. It sets out the draft planning policies and potential site allocations that the Council believes are appropriate. It also sets out the other potential options the Council considered and the reasons why they were not chosen.

Preferred Options Consultation The Preferred Options consultation took place in October and November 2015 in accordance with Regulation 18 and the Council’s Statement of Community Involvement. As part of the consultation process, the following public events were held:

• ‘Local Plan Forum’ on Wednesday 5 November

• Ward Forums

• Drop in sessions • Tuesday 20th October am: Hull History Centre • Thursday 22nd October pm: Hull History Centre • Thursday 22nd October evening: Hull Central Library

To publicise the consultation and the events listed above, Hull City Council did the following:

• Wrote directly to everyone on the Local Plan consultation database.

• Public notices were printed in the Hull Daily Mail

• Press releases were published, resulting in articles in the Hull Daily Mail and on the websites of local news organisations

• The City Planning Manager was interviewed on BBC Radio Humberside

Copies of relevant letters and articles can be found in Appendix A. Responses to the consultation could be made either in writing, by email, or using an online consultation portal.

Those on the Local Plan consultation database will have received up to three letters informing them of the consultation. The consultee list generated for the Issues and Options consultation was used, updated as per requests. The database as of October 2015 has 391 consultees and agents on it. Anyone who wishes to can request to be added to (or removed from) the Local Plan consultation database.

The document was made available to view online, at the Guildhall, the History Centre, and all the Council libraries and customer service centres.

Copies of the plan, along with the evidence base, were available to view at the Wilson Centre during the consultation period. It was possible to contact planning staff with queries using the direct dial telephone located in the planning reception.

Committees The Preferred Option consultation was taken to the following Hull City Council committees / meetings to receive feedback from elected members:

• Planning, 21 July • Cabinet, 27 July • Wyke Area Committee, 16 December • Riverside Area Committee, 11 November • West Area Committee 21 October • Park Area Committee, 28 October • North Carr Area Committee, 18 November • Northern Area Committee, 26 November • East Area Committee, 3 December

Ward Forums Some wards within the city hold ward forum events. These allow residents to discuss issues of concern with their ward councillors. Many of these forums take place on an adapted bus which visits different locations in each ward.

The policies map was displayed on the bus, along with copies of the Local Plan, and a member of planning staff was available to discuss the plan with members of the public.

Consultation responses and people’s panel surveys were received from these events.

• Friday 9 October: Avenue Ward Forum • Thursday 15 October: Bricknell Ward Forum • Monday 19 October: Newland Ward Forum • Monday 26 October: Derringham Ward Forum • Friday 30 October: Marfleet Ward Forum • Tuesday 1 December: Longhill Ward Forum • Wednesday 2 December: Newington Ward Forum People’s Panel Survey A questionnaire seeking opinions on some of the topics in the Preferred Options consultation was prepared with the Council’s Business Intelligence Unit and circulated via email and at publicity sessions for the Local Plan.

Dear

Consultation on the Hull Local Plan: Preferred Options

We are preparing a new Hull Local Plan that will be used to guide development in the city up to 2030. It will identify land for different uses. Once adopted, its policies will be used to determine planning applications.

The Preferred Options is the second stage in the new Local Plan’s preparation. It takes into account the responses we received to the Issues and Options consultation in 2014. Again, we are seeking the views of people who live, work or have an interest in the city. We would like to hear from you.

The consultation consists of a Policies Document, a citywide Policies Map, and more detailed Inset Maps. The Policies Document sets out the priorities for the city. Chapters are based around key themes and discuss the issues, along with our preferred options and draft policies. Supporting the document and maps is a sustainability appraisal and various evidence base documents, including a draft site selection methodology. You can also comment on these.

Consultation starts on Monday 12 October (noon) and runs for 6 weeks until Monday 23 November 2015 (noon).

The consultation documents are available to view at: www.hullcc.gov.uk/planning. You can make comments online or you can download a response form and return it to: [email protected] or post it to FREEPOST RSJC-KKBE-ABXZ, Planning Policy, Hull City Council, PO Box 15, HULL, HU1 2AB.

Paper copies of the Local Plan are available to view at Hull City Council libraries and customer service centres, plus Guildhall reception (Alfred Gelder Street) and the History Centre (Worship Street). In addition, a Local Plan display and all the supporting evidence base documents will be available to view at the Wilson Centre (Alfred Gelder Street).

As part of the consultation process, the following events will be held:

• Local Plan Forum on Thursday 5 November between 10am and 12.30pm at the Guildhall, Alfred Gelder Street. An agenda will be sent out nearer the time. • Drop-in sessions at the History Centre on Tuesday 20 October (10am to 12.30pm) and Thursday 22 October (2pm to 4.30pm). • Drop-in session at Hull Central Library, Albion Street on Thursday 22 October (5pm to 7.30pm). You are welcome to attend these events. If you would like to attend the Local Plan Forum, please let us know by Monday 2 November.

The Local Plan shows potential new sites for housing, employment, shopping and open space. If you are aware of other sites that have potential for a new use over the next 15 years, please write to us providing basic site details (location/ size/ potential use). We will contact you after the consultation closes for more information and we will consider it in the future preparation of the Local Plan.

The Hull Local Plan must comply with the ‘duty to cooperate’ that was enacted by the Localism Act 2011 and which applies to strategic planning matters. We have prepared a Duty to Cooperate progress report. If you are a local authority or other prescribed body as defined by the Local Planning Regulations 2012, we ask that you consider this report to ensure that we are fulfilling the requirements. The Progress Report is available alongside the online version of the Local Plan.

Should you need any more information or wish to attend the Local Plan Forum, please contact my Planning Policy Team by: phoning 01482 300300; emailing [email protected]; or writing to us at the above freepost address.

I look forward to receiving your responses on the new Local Plan: Preferred Options version.

Yours sincerely

Alex Codd City Planning Manager

1 Your news What is Payroll Giving? We find out ... We have recently announced the extension of the Payroll Giving contract with GiveHEY, a HMRC Payroll Giving Agency whose unique approach involves raising awareness and take up of the pre-tax Payroll Giving scheme to support local, national and international charities.

We went to speak to Business Manager Stacey Middlewood, responsible for the GiveHEY Payroll Giving service:

What is Payroll Giving? It’s a tax efficient way of giving donations to any charity of your own choice. Donations are deducted from your pay every pay period and tend to be small but over a long period of time.

How do I start my donation? You can fill in a donor form, sign up using the GiveHEY website, or contact us by telephone or email and we’ll send you a simple form which can be returned by email or post. Continue reading more about our Payroll Giving Q & A

Appendix C: Summary of Representations

Response Summaries: Options and Policies

Chapter 1. Introduction

• Plan period should be extended to 2031. • Duty to cooperate is welcomed but must align with Local Enterprise partnership

Chapter 2. Context

• Support for the City Plan Priorities • Importance of heritage and open spaces highlighted throughout • Issue of Hull and East Riding housing market area raised by ERYC

Chapter 3. Hull: the Energy Port City

• General support for vision and objectives subject to minor revisions • More emphasis should be given to economic growth and housebuilding • Concern at how open space is addressed through whole plan • More detail of infrastructure considered necessary

Chapter 4. Climate change

• 4 consultees support the preferred option of integrating climate change policies across the chapters. • Environment Agency would like this chapter to acknowledge the need to build/improve flood defences in the city, and describe the mechanism for funding such work.

Chapter 5. Economic Development

• Bizspace on Chamberlain Road should be allocated for housing. • A flexible approach inherent in maintaining a portfolio of employment sites will require a robust approach to be taken to transport assessments to ensure impacts of all developments are fully understood and mitigation provided. Sites will be modelled for impact on the A63 but this is not available yet. • Advise use of development briefs for employment allocations where there is possible risk to the natural environment and where enhancements can be made. • Strategy for growth in Hull's visitor economy requires us to value and conserve the city's historic and unique heritage. • All development sites should be accessible by a range of transport - not just car. • Emphasise joint position between Hull and the East Riding re ELR / FEA. • Former Birds Eye site should be allocated for housing. • Impossible to determine in the absence of Site Assessment as suggested by the SA Methodology whether site allocations are compliant with NPPF.

Draft Policy 3 – Potential Employment Allocations

• Certain employment allocations could impact on heritage assets – should include development principles / development briefs for these sites. • Shouldn’t replicate the extension into the estuary secued through the application for Green Port in the allocation. While appropriate mitigation is secured through the application, in ordr to allocate the site a full assessment under the Habitat Regulations would be required. • Potential impact on candidate Local Wildlife sites.

Draft Policy 4 – Future use of land within designated employment areas.

• Policy negatively worded that prevents non-employment uses on existing employment sites. Assessment of alternatives should be tested against a much wider range of relevant considerations.

Draft Policy 5

• Support for the policy stance taken to University. Need to support the creation of a defined ‘University Quarter’

Chapter 6. Housing

Policy 6 Housing Demand

• Support by 1 representor (ERYC) but 6 representors (house builders) consider the 760 dwellings pa figure too low, for a variety of reasons relating to the calculation of the housing requirement; • ERYC dispute the definition of the Hull Housing Market Area (HMA) and whether the housing need figure should be demographic based or employment based; • common view that the plan needs to be for a 15-year time period from adoption.

Policy 7 Housing Land Supply

• Regarding specific sites, there are 7 objections to potential housing allocations, in particular at Goddard Avenue (site 212) and Haworth Park (site 757) on the grounds of loss of open space; • A potential housing site is promoted at Chamberlain Road; • A view that site assessments and housing allocations should include considerations of traffic, biodiversity, flood risk, drainage, green network, heritage assets and existing residents; • Need to take account of the impact of development on heritage assets in the Old Town.

Policy 8 Type and Mix of Housing

• House builders (3 reps) consider the policy to be inflexible and not enable developments to respond to localised needs, changing market conditions or viability; • Some question why most new affordable housing should contain only 2 bedrooms.

Policy 9 Housing on Brownfield Land

• Support by 4 reps; • Opposed by house builders (4 reps), on the basis that the policy is not justified, expression of the target as an aim is contrary to the NPPF, and there is no indication that the policy is deliverable; • 1 rep comments that brownfield land with high environmental or ecological value should be excluded.

Policy 10 Affordable Housing

House builders (3 reps) oppose the policy on the basis that the policy is not justifiable, because it is add odds with the Council’s Affordable Housing Viability Assessment (2011), and it is unlikely to be achievable, as evidenced by the Council’s Area Wide Economic Viability Assessment;

• 1 rep (house builder) suggests a variable rate across the city based on viability evidence; • 3 reps consider starter homes should now be included in this policy.

Policy 11 Specialist Housing

• 1 rep considers that specialist housing should be distributed around the city; • 1 rep (a provider of housing for the elderly) notes particular requirements for specialist housing, including proximity to public transport, shops and services, and the suitability of windfall brownfield sites near town or local centres.

Policy 12 Houses in Multiple Occupation

• 2 reps both concerned with the many adverse effects of HMOs on residential areas, particularly in the Spring Bank/ Newland Avenue/ Beverley Road and Boulevard areas, and the need for more controls on them.

Policy 13 Traveller Provision

• Environment Agency states that Traveller pitches should not normally be permitted within Flood Zone 3, and any proposed sites should be subject to the sequential and exception tests; • 1 rep (a traveller organisation) supports the policy; • 1 rep (a traveller organisation) is concerned that the chosen option makes no provision for permanent sites or any site-specific proposals, as required by the Government’s Planning Policy for Traveller Sites. Other issues that need to be addressed include: possible extensions to existing sites; provision for privately-owned sites; provision through section 106 agreements; and securing provision through the duty to co-operate.; • 1 rep (a traveller organisation) doubts that the change in definition of ‘gypsy and traveller’ will lead to a significant reduction in the level of provision required.

Policy 14 Designing for Housing

• 1 rep supports the policy; • House builders (4 reps) oppose the policy on the basis that BfL should be advisory and not mandatory, it would impose significant additional costs on development and it is not justified by the evidence base.

Policy 15 Density

• 4 reps support the policy; • ERYC suggests the policy should also make reference to the efficient use of land; • 1 rep believes the policy is unnecessary and should be deleted.

Policy 16 Housing Space Standards

• 1 rep supports the policy; • 1 rep states that the standards should not be applied to specialist older persons housing; • House builders (4 reps) object to the policy as they believe there is no evidence to support it.

Policy 17 Residential Gardens

• 1 rep would like the policy extended to include communal areas for food growing; • 1 rep believes the policy, if justified, should be in a SPD on residential design; • House builders (3 reps) are opposed to the policy, stating that it is too prescriptive, has no regard to site characteristics or viability and there is no justification for the sizes proposed.

Policy 18 Residential Extensions and Alterations

• Supported by 2 reps; • I rep seeks a specific reference to extensions for disabled people; • Objection by 1 rep owing to the policy being unnecessary since it duplicates Policy 32; any additional guidance should be in a SPD.

Policy 19 Inclusive Housing Design

• 1 rep in support of policy, but questions who will decide feasibility, viability and need; • House builders (3 reps) opposed to policy because it is not justified by evidence, in particular viability is not tested in the Council’s viability study.

Inclusive housing design (paras 6.64-6.75, Policy 19)

• 4 objectors (developers) to the policy, stating: o Policy repeats standards set out in other legislation. o The need for the policy is not justified by the SHMA. o Policy will create additional costs and impact on viability has not been demonstrated by a viability study. o Policy is overly prescriptive. o Likely to render the plan ineffective and unsound. • HAIG ask who will decide what is feasible and viable? • HAIG ask who will demonstrate a need for the M4(3) standard?

Chapter 7. City Centre

Policy 20 – maintaining Vitality & Viability

• Support in principle – but concern over how applied. Too restrictive and prescriptive – not in the spirit of NPPF. Need to recognise the benefits of a wider range of uses. If restrictive policy is to apply Primary Frontages to which policies would apply also need to be more clearly defined so not arbitrarily impacting certain parts of the centre..

Policy 21 – Accommodating future retail growth.

• Need to prioritise reoccupation of vacant properties. • Need to plan for identified retail floorspace to be accommodated out of centre as the plan doesn’t make sufficient provision in the city centre. • Support for continuing reference to Princes Quay as a focus for retail expansion – although need clarity over approach to this location. Policy 22 – Leisure & Tourism

• Need reference to Fruit market. • Should broaden the approach to the Old Twon area – not just L&T. • Need a masterplan for the Old Town as a critical element of the Plan. Uncertainties of the nature and scope of the Heritage Action Zone mean that it shouldn’t be designated within the Plan. Old Town should be given its own section in the City Centre chapter. • The night time economy is critical to the City Centre and adequate parking is needed to support the use of facilities. • This policy should reference the contribution of the area around Myton Street – i.e Venue conference centre and hotel.

Policy 23 – Office based businesses

• Support focus of office development in the city centre – although offices need to be of a scale that suits the fabric of the centre.

Policy 24 – City Centre Living

• Support for the principle of the policy – particularly for bringing greater activity to the centre bringing greater footfall and extending hours – supporting more businesses to locate in the centre. Need to make sure homes are fully accessible where these are on higher levels.

Policy 25 - City Centre Development Sites

• Development principles should be sets out in the plan. While supportive text sets a context to the function of various sites the policy is ineffective in providing sufficient support and guidance to encourage investment. – Development briefs should be supplementary and not substitute for policy. • Various comments specific to the details that should be considered in development of each site. The impact of city centre sites will be assessed through the infrastructure study and meso model when this becomes available, and HE should be notified of details at earliest opportunity.

Chapter 8. Shops, Services and Community Facilities

General Comments • the plan needs a specific policy limiting food and drink uses in certain centres • ignoring the proposed expansion at Kingswood Retail Park is ‘ineffective’ and ‘unsound’ as it is not considering the implications for other designated centres • the Preferred Options document should define a Primary Shopping Area and Prime Frontage for Kingswood Retail Park

Policy 26: Defining the Centre Hierarchy • Kingswood Retail Park does not currently function as a district centre or serve local needs. It requires non-retail services and community facilities development to justify its re-designation (3 comments objecting to its re- designation) • the owner of Kingswood Retail Park supports its re-designation • support for the proposed Retail Hierarchy, especially the inclusion of neighbourhood centres

Policy 27: Ensuring the vitality and viability of centres • the policy should emphasise that district centres should provide a wide range of non-retail services and community facilities • the policy should set a minimum walking distance between residential areas and outlets selling fresh food and seek to protect public houses as valuable community assets

Draft Policy 28: Applying the sequential and impact tests • the policy should clarify that the need for an impact test will only be a requirement for out of centre retail development and/or sites not allocated for main town centre uses in the local plan • the policy will encourage large floorplate retail park type developments in unsustainable locations and undermine the city centre • point 4 of the policy will allows changes to the city centre and district centres boundaries without due consultation

Draft Policy 29: Retail Warehouses • some support for the policy • the policy only gives sequential preference to parts of the city centre, then existing warehouse locations rather than other designated centres

Draft Policy 30: Promoting Healthy Eating • some support for the policy • one comment questions the evidence or justification for linking the location of A5 uses near youth facilities with poorer health outcomes

Draft Policy 31: Encouraging and protecting new and existing community facilities • the policy should specifically name public houses as a community facility to be protected

Chapter 9: Design & Heritage • Generally supportive of polices, with suggested refinements. • Commented that policies on local distinctiveness, shop fronts and advertisements are not necessary. • One extensive objection that heritage policies are not sufficiently robust

Chapter 10. Transport

• Support for road improvements ,park and ride ,and control of long stay car parking provision proposals • Should identify the new England Coast Path on local plan map • Desire to see sites for new rail stations protected even if they annotate delivered during the plan period • Give greater recognition of the growing demand for bus services.useage increased 30% since 2002. • Future development should help link up disjointed parts of cycle network. Further cycle routes should be identified. • Remaining capacity on the A63 should not be absorbed ahead of port related developments. • Manor Property Group wants plan to include new access from A63 to its Manor Quays site at west end of St Andrews Quay. • Need for a new large coach park in the city centre • Support for residential parking standards based on number of bedrooms. • Objection to increased useage of high level rail freight lines as having detrimental impact on nearby residents. • Also support for greater rail freight serving Hull's docks • Need a specific policy for provision of cruise terminal. Likely to have significant impact on Humber estuary a European , later national site of natural environmental importance • Need to develop linkages between walking and cycling with health and access to green infrastructure and heritage assets

Chapter 11: Water Management • Extensive comments from the Environment Agency and Yorkshire Water. Issues raised in relation to the need for the updated SFRA to inform the plan, areas of search and the decision to not include a waste water policy. • General support for approach. • Linking sustainable drainage to open spaces and biodiversity frequently raised;

Chapter 12. Open space

• Objection raised by Sport England – HCC does not have an up-to-date Playing Pitch Strategy and does not have a Built Sports Facilities Strategy. • Sport England would like policies on protecting built sports facilities and on the community use of education facilities. • Several responses in support of allowing community groups and individuals to grow food on derelict / underused land. Issues about whether such sites require designation.

Designating and allocating open space sites (paras 12.6-12.10)

• 3 consultees support preferred option B – show all open space sites down to 0.1 hectares on the Policies Map.

Open space standards (paras 12.11-12.23, Policy 60)

• 2 consultees support the preferred option. • Natural England suggest considering their Accessible Natural Greenspace Standards. • Yorkshire Wildlife Trust note that the Hull accessibility standard to natural/semi-natural greenspace is double what they are campaigning for. • Sport England note that national planning policy no longer mentions standards in relation to open space and repeat that the city’s playing pitch strategy is out of date.

Protecting open space (paras 12.24-12.34, Policy 61)

• 1 consultee in support of the preferred option.

New public open space requirements (paras 12.35-12.41)

• 1 consultee in support of the preferred option. • Food4Hull express concern about the preferred approach. Would prefer a set of criteria that ensures a coordinated green infrastructure network across the city.

Chapter 13. Natural Environment

Planning positively for green infrastructure (paras 13.3-13.20, Policy 62)

• 10 consultees support the preferred option / policy, commenting: o Effective GI will contribute to effective surface water management. o Term “close proximity” in part 2 needs a tighter definition – 200 metres is recommended. o Hull’s Green Network should use similar criteria as East Riding’s. o RSPB & YWT would like “and enhance” added to part 3 of the policy. o Food4Hull object to the omission of food growing in part 3. • Environment Agency would like greater emphasis placed on the River Hull corridor. E.g. a policy that strongly encourages development sites adjacent to the river to incorporate space for flood defences and transport corridors. • It was recommended that we consider opportunities for buffering important wildlife sites. • Woodland Trust would like the policy to include street trees and small areas of woodland. Recommends use of their Access to Woodland Standard.

Planning positively for biodiversity and wildlife (paras 13.21-13.33, Policy 63)

• 5 consultees support the preferred option / policy, with the following comments: o Slight modification needed to the “in combination” test in part 1. o Amendment to part 3 requested to protect ancient woodland and trees. o Add Humber Nature Partnership to the list of organisations in part 6. o Environment Agency recommend adding “commensurate with the scale of the development” to part 6 of the policy. o Yorkshire Wildlife Trust suggest adding a further policy to protect biological networks.

Tree protection and replacement (paras 13.34-13.41, Policy 64)

• 3 consultees support the policy, with the following comments: o Should be 2 replacement trees for every one that is felled. (option D rather than C). o Replacement trees should be native British trees of local provenance. Chapter 14: Environmental Quality • Natural England generally supportive but suggest additional references to Humber protected and designated sites. • Environment Agency highlight linkages between contaminated land and water supply. • Environment Agency consider Hazardous Substances policy should be reworded to better reflect the legal position of the Council as Hazardous Substances Authority.

Chapter 15. Energy and utilities

Renewable and low carbon energy (paras 15.1-15.10, Policy 70)

• 4 consultees support the policy with the following comments: o Particular support for the recognition of biodiversity impacts from renewable schemes. o Odour should be added as a potential impact. o Woodland Trust would like to see greater emphasis on the use of woody biomass crops rather than agricultural crops. • Heat generated by Spencer’s energy from waste site should be used in a district heating scheme. • Council should discuss with the University how tidal energy can be taken forward. • All schools and public buildings should be investigated for potential for solar panels.

Wind turbines (paras 15.11-15.18)

• 3 consultees express concern about impact of wind turbines on birds using the Humber. RSPB and YWT suggest a 600 metre wind turbine exclusion zone around the Humber. Response Summaries: Potential Allocation Sites

Housing Site 212: South of Goddard Avenue, East of Chanterlands Avenue 131 Responses, 120 objecting, 8 supporting, 3 neutral comments Objections Site should be designated it should be Urban Green Space, Local Wildlife Site & Green Network (areas retained and enhanced) and not housing. Object to the loss of this important green space. Development would involve loss of part of the green network and ‘green lung’, an amenity greenspace, a recreation facility (including future alternate recreation uses), natural/semi natural landscape/open space, woodland/meadow, natural habitats and biodiversity, an educational facility (area to learn about biodiversity), mental and physical wellbeing, family play space, the drainage capacity of the site in times of flood, aesthetic pleasure, natural surveillance and somewhere for dog walking. Development would reduce air quality and increase noise pollution. Development would contribute to the existing greenspace deficit in the area. Development would remove a community social hub. Adjacent open space is mostly private sports provision, cemeteries or allotments. Development would have impact on the health and wellbeing (detrimental) of the community, including create fear and loneliness. Fears that development would increase crime levels Development proposed is too dense. Parts of area have homes with small gardens require the existing public open space. Development would result in a loss of privacy and additional noise from development and traffic. Development doesn’t have access. There isn’t drainage capacity. Additional traffic and a new junction would be a danger to residents of the adjacent care home and local residents/school children. Existing traffic is very busy. Additional traffic and any new junction would result in more congestion and more accidents. There are enough empty homes in Hull. Use brownfield for new Homes. Local schools are oversubscribed, not enough places.

Comments General: • Future surface water disposal must follow surface water hierarchy. • Site is Flood Zone 3 a(i) – Any development should comply with Hull CC SFRA. • This site does not appear to affect any known archaeological remains.

Support Site should be allocated for housing. Site is viable, long term vacant and available for development. Site is a sustainable location to accommodate some of the City’s housing need. Site has high levels of connectivity. Site will be high quality design. There are more than enough existing greenspaces in the area. Cricket use at the field ended 15 years ago. In this time the site has suffered anti-social behaviour. The clubhouse and equipment were destroyed.

Petitions Two petitions were received objecting to the use site 212 for housing (Approximately 400 signatures). Employment Site 26/103: Former Birds Eye Factory, Hessle Road Objections The Land owner’s agent submitted a representation for the use of the land for Housing. Figures were provided detailing their understanding of the need for employment land within Hull, the supply position within Hull and its Western Corridor. Land take up and details of larger sites were provided. 19 Residents and 2 Councillor supported use of site for housing development (including 2 as potential mixed use)

• Waiting list for affordable housing • Employment would impact on value of existing properties • Potential for mixed use on site – Employment/Housing • Employment transport requirements would be detrimental to local environment.

General Comments Flood zone 3ai – requirements of SFRA should be met. This area suffered from surface water flooding in 2007, this must be taken account of when undertaking an FRA. This development plot does affect known or potential archaeological remains. Any development work within this allocation plot would need to be undertaken subject to an archaeological and/or architectural recording condition that could be granted on any permission for development. Existing water mains, sewers and any trade effluent discharge infrastructure may require protection/investigation prior to development. Surface water discharges may be subject to discharge restrictions.

Open Space Site 1: Land to the west of Booker Objection Land owner Agent objects to the proposed allocation – it should be allocated for mixed use retail/business development. Manor Property dispute the findings of the Employment Land Review in relation to this site, and consider that the site remains available, suitable, deliverable and sustainable for redevelopment for a variety of purposes. Details provided

Support Environment Agency - Fully support the proposed use of this land as urban greenspace as this portion of land sits on the wet-side of the flood defences and therefore does not benefit from protection from the defences:

• site could be flooded to up to a depth of 2m; and • could be classified as ‘Danger to All’ in some parts of the site.

Public support: • for the allocation, ideally as a Local Wildlife Site; • for creation of a large continuous area of natural / semi-natural green space along the western part of the Humber foreshore • for consideration of an appropriate long-term habitat management plan - opportunities for nature tourism. • It is important that the land is recognised as a strategic part of the green network, creating an important buffer for rare habitat on the Humber (Humber SSSI/SPA/SAC).

Housing Site 757: Haworth Park Playing Fields

Total 305 reps: 1 support, 2 neutral, 302 object (comprising 7 organisations, 127 residents via councillors and 168 residents independently)

Support:

• By landowner: The site is available, suitable and achievable, which demonstrates the site is deliverable.

Neutral:

• Environment Agency: In flood zone 3aiii – requirements of SFRA should be met; this site suffered from surface water flooding in 2007, this must be taken account of when undertaking an FRA. • Yorkshire Water: There is sewerage apparatus within the site boundary as well as a water main. It is essential that the presence of the infrastructure is taken into account in any future site layout. It may be possible to divert the infrastructure. If other methods of surface water disposal are not viable and subject to providing satisfactory evidence as to why they have been discounted, curtilage surface water discharges to the public sewer will be restricted to the level of run-off - i.e. same rate of discharge - to that from the existing use of the site less a minimum 50% reduction in the existing discharge. Any discharge of surface water from the site should discharge to similar points of connection to that of the existing use of the site.

Objections

7 organisations object on grounds of:

• Impact on Hull Green Corridors Living Landscape (YWT) which has high ecological importance, also Biodiversity Opportunity Area (Y&H Biodiversity Forum 2009). Allocation should require incorporation of biodiversity into the design, in order to increase the ecological connectivity of the green network and strengthen its ability to function as a wildlife corridor. This would be in accordance with proposed Policy 63(6) and with paragraph 118 of the NPPF. (Yorkshire Wildlife Trust) • Boundaries should be redrawn to avoid mature and veteran trees to the N and SNCI to the SE. (Hull BAP) • The Council has not demonstrated that these playing fields are surplus to the community’s need for playing pitches, as required by the NPPF (para.74) (Sport England) • Adverse impact on setting of Grade II* Listed Building; previous applications in 1990s refused on appeal. (Georgian Society) • Site assessment will need to consider impact of development on Grade II* Listed Haworth Hall. Local Plan needs to set out the measures by which any harm might be removed or reduced or, if this is not possible, then the site should not be allocated. (English Heritage) • Adverse impact on setting of Listed Building and loss of sports ground. (Hull Civic Society) • Archaeological evaluation needed (Humber Archaeology Partnership)

127 reps submitted by Cllrs McCobb and Mathieson who state that over 20% of residents on Haworth Park estate have contacted councillors regarding the proposed housing allocation and all object to the proposal. By contrast residents near the Bird’s Eye site on Hessle Road want housing to be developed on this site, but this has been rejected. Wish to see the Haworth Park site zoned for greenspace in the next draft of the Local Plan. Object on grounds of:

• Loss of urban greenspace • Flood risk • Impact on residential amenity • Risk to protected trees • Loss of sporting facilities • Impact on Grade II* listed building • Traffic and congestion

Additional 168 (approx) reps by residents, who object as above plus:

• Inadequate access roads • Loss of wildlife • Brownfield sites should be developed instead • Previous apps have been refused and this has been supported at appeal (in 1971 & 1991)

Housing Sites 861 & 862: Danby Close, Sutton

Total 21 reps: 2 support, 3 neutral, 16 object (comprising 4 organisations and 12 residents)

Support:

• By 2 landowners/ developers.

Neutral:

• Yorkshire Water: Foul water – local public sewer network unlikely to have adequate capacity to accommodate discharge from the proposal; Surface water – strategic surface water management plan for Holderness Drain would be needed; Water supply – reinforcement of the local water supply network could be required. • Environment Agency: Partly in flood zone 3aiii – requirements of SFRA should be met; Holderness Drain cannot take any further surface water discharge – alternative solutions should be considered.

Object on grounds of:

• Impact on Scheduled Monument (Historic England) • Archaeological evaluation needed (Humber Archaeology Partnership) • Impact on Hull Green Corridors Living Landscape (YWT) which has high ecological importance, also Biodiversity Opportunity Area (Y&H Biodiversity Forum 2009); development will increase habitat fragmentation; conflict with Draft Policy 63(6) ‘Promoting Biodiversity Improvement’. (Yorkshire Wildlife Trust) • Holderness Drain Corridor offers a unique opportunity to develop a multi- benefit solution to flood risk management, including biodiversity, amenity, recreation, through wetlands habitat for flood storage; housing development would be a challenge to such a scheme. (RSPB) • Increased flood risk, inadequate road access and increased traffic congestion, local facilities at capacity or limited (schools, doctors, local shops), loss of open land and wildlife, loss of privacy and views, increased noise and disturbance; should use brownfield land in Hull instead.

HULL LOCAL PLAN PREFERRED OPTIONS FORUM SESSION 5TH NOVEMBER 2015

Following on from previous events, a Forum event was held at the Guildhall. This was open to anyone with an interest in the city: the attendance list is attached.

It took the format of presentations on topics contained within the Local Plan, followed by an open question and answer session.

SESSION 1: ECONOMIC GROWTH, TRANSPORT AND SHOPS & CENTRES

John Morfin Referred to pavement works in the city centre. Hasn’t seen an aspiration from the council to improve arterial routes to improve appearance for visitors as they arrive and as they move around the city. Is Council identifying these and planning to do anything about it?

Alex Codd: Yes. Looking at Clive Sullivan Way with Highways England as it is a trunk road. Council is also looking at arterial routes but has limited powers to improve properties. In limited circumstances can issue s215 notices to require improvement.

Stephanie Wilson, Avenues Residents Association Would have liked to have seen more emphasis on increasing footfall in the Old Town and more improvements to walkways along the River Hull

Alex Codd: The plan refers to establishing a Heritage Action Zone in the Old Town. The River Hull walkway is being addressed in terms of both accessibility and flood defences. Ideally, this will work on improving the link between The Deep and the Old Town and Museums Quarter. This will particularly be an issue if the cruise terminal berths at The Deep. There is a challenge as to how far up the River Hull access work goes.

Roger Gray: The plan does show public realm routes linking to the Old Town.

Carl Mitchell, Riverside Housing Group Accepting need to attract national retailers, does Council have plans to incentivise independent retailers to move into areas such as Whitefriargate?

Alex Codd: It is easier to do this where the Council is land owner. The Council has been in discussion with landowners to encourage use of buildings. It is very difficult to focus on independent retailers only due to limitations on the support that can be offered.

Chris Holt-Miller Is there a start date for the A63 footbridge? Has been ongoing for a very long time.

Neville Brown: Works to start February 2016, completion April 2017.

Alex Codd: Historically, footbridge has been taken alongside with road. Decision taken fairly recently to separate footbridge from road scheme. Footbridge does now have permission, but is complex with the range of issues around a trunk road. Aware that would not be in place for start of 2017 but will for start of summer events.

There is a poor provision of public toilets in the city centre.

AC: Council is aware as an issue. Is being reviewed and how it can be addressed.

Hessle Road: mix of users and arcades along this street.

AC: Council does not control users. Satisified with having open shops rather than vacant.

John Scotney (Hull Civic Society) Location of offices and shops often have a symbiotic relationship. Development of offices outside of centres breaks this connection and this harms both.

Sustainable transport means buses and walking: have a bus lane policy on radial roads but the bus loop is being paved over in city centre. Disadvantage in new loop being further away from shops. Too much pedestrianisation which will clog the other streets and harm the shops. Concern that people will only shop in close proximity to St Stephens.

Roger Gray: Humber Quays was part of wider scheme, hopefully Fruit Market will bring more facilities in proximity to those offices. It is a reality that some companies do want to work from Priory Park type offices and that not everyone works in the city centre.

JS: Should offices go near to centres on radial roads?

RG: Needs to be some control over location. City Centre offices could go on mixed use sites identified in the plan.

Alex Codd: Consultation work was carried out on the public realm work in terms of what went where. Retailers and land owners were involved in that discussion and not everyone can be satisfied. Bus station was on Bond Street during interchange development. Albion Street has car park which is most heavily used. No evidence that distance is deterrent to people. Discussion has been held about the extent of pedestrianisation with land owners.

David Osler, Action for Hull Concerned about a number of unused and derelict buildings such as on Bond Street. Many buildings are decent: surely something can be done with them. These buildings are dotted around the city. Council seems content to let buildings deteriorate until demolition is necessary.

Alex Codd: Council has no ownership of mentioned buildings. Council has considered acquiring building and costs have not been reasonable in the past. Council has issued s215 notices to improve, but powers are limited to boarding and vegetation removal. Only when condition very poor can demolition be required. There are misconceptions about Council ownership and controls. Council is very concerned about issues and tackles them where possible.

Ken Smith, Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) Policy 31 relates to community facilities. NPPF specifically mentions pub, local plan does not. CAMRA concerned about wider loss of pubs in the city. Would like to see policy amended

Alex Codd: It’s more complicated in city than in rural areas as that is where pubs are often the only community facilities so loss has greater impact. There is greater accessibility in city so do not feel there is a need to protect city pubs. If there isn’t a market, there is only so much Council can do.

KS: CAMRA has viability test, Council could use this. Some pubs have been designated as ACV (Rising Sun and St John’s Hotel) and CAMRA are looking to promote more. Policy should be strengthened.

AC: Will be addressed in consultation response

John Netherwood, Hull Civic Society Plan should be welcomed, but not for transport. Feels like anti-car and previous plans been rehashed. Transport section is contradictory to other elements of plan. Fails sequential test, restricts opportunities for companies to invest, plan doesn’t recognise direction of travel in terms of air quality in terms of electric vehicles. Pollution could be minimised by increasing speed of access and ability to park quickly.

Neville Brown: Detailed comments should be submitted as a response.

SESSION 2: HOUSING, ENVIRONMENT & DRAFT SITE METHODOLOGY

John Netherwood, Hull Civic Society Environment policy Hull has few natural features, drains are a natural feature but very underexploited for use.

Philip Reese: Agree drains are an asset. Path has been created along parts of Holderness Drain which has improved access and Council is exploring options to enhance further.

Is quality of life included in the indicators?

Neville Brown: Transport chapter needs work and identifying new cycling and walking routes

Roger Gray: In terms of site assessment, it is about criteria for appraising sites against each other. But potential to include as monitoring indicator.

NB: Will have to add targets and monitoring indicators to the plan.

Hilary Hamer Pleased to see about garden size policy. Who is in charge of how gardens work and control over hardstandings?

Chris Cumberlin: Will be garden sizes for individual houses. Down to individual householders how they will use gardens

Philip Reese: Do have policies supporting biodiversity gain, could look at how this is implemented.

CC: Also a requirement for open space to be provided in housing development

Karen Tozer, Groundwork How will Right to Buy changes affect affordable housing policy

Chris Cumberlin: Legislation is changing and implications of new announcements will have to be assessed.

Matthew Good: Home Builders Federation Housing figure: how does that take account of job creation targets and what is happening in East Riding. Parts of Hull struggle for viability and a number of requirements are included in plan. How has this been considered?

Chris Cumberlin: Viability work looks at cumulative effect of requirements. Housing numbers: more detail in plan and in the evidence base. Complicated by East Riding being in a number of Housing Market Areas. Job creation aspirations are that existing unemployed people will be able to access those jobs. Roger Gray: Housing and employment evidence bases have worked together and have considered scenarios. Employment scenarios are not based on population growth.

Neville Brown: Viability is a factor in the policies and there are links to Community Infrastructure Levy. Further work will take place on viability. Have worked closely with ERYC as they have gone through their examination

Chris Holt-Miller Cllr Lunn promoting signs to reduce drinking and urinating. Hope this is extended. Cycling on pavements is an issue and fly tipping is an issue.

Neville Brown: Many of the issues covered are not addressed by the Local Plan as issues are outside plan.

Karen Tozer, Groundwork Chanterlands Avenue/ Goddard Avenue site: draft allocation for housing would appear to contradict open space, biodiversity and wellbeing concerns.

Neville Brown: Site was put forward in call for sites.

Roger Gray: Sites are shown as potential allocations. Site assessment methodology will consider these issues. This may or may not result in allocations

Chris Cumberlin: Have to recognise that the majority of housing sites will have to be allocated to meet the housing target.

RG: Failure to meet housing need could result in unsound plan

Relationship to neighbourhood plans: what if it contradicts?

Roger Gray: Neighbourhood Plan must be in conformity with the Local Plan.

Arabella Murray-Nay Works have taken place in street and cobbles have been replaced with tarmac.

Neville Brown: Not controlled by planning authority.

Hilary Byers, Friends of the Earth Has reuse of housing been taken into account?

Chris Cumberlin: Yes. There is a housing need figure which then takes into account demolition and change of use which gives the requirement. Have also included a windfall figure in the housing figure which includes an allowance for change of use to housing over the plan period.

Ian Smith, Historic England Approach to Old Town – why is it included in a policy on leisure and recreation? Why does it not have its own policy?

Jennifer Downs: Will be reviewed in the next plan.

David Ostler, Action for Hull Open spaces and cemeteries: cemeteries largely well kept but smaller ones in poor condition. Are there any plans to make them better? Lack of care when disposed of.

Philip Reese: Agree and some do have community groups which are improving them.

David Longthorpe: How do you manage a cemetery and for whose benefit? Sculcoates Cemetery has notice board with details. The majority of the cemetery is there and is actively maintained.

Chris Holt Miller: Various monuments throughout cemeteries, value of which should be recognised.

Peter Shipp EYMS

Lots of transport related issues. Keen to support vibrant city centre. Issues need to be reviewed as a whole as more congestion means less reliable services which encourages people to use cars. Keen to discuss in detail.

Neville Brown: Noted

Hilary Hamer Potential for increased use of upper floors.

Roger Gray: Plan does acknowledge potential for 2500 new dwellings in the centre. These could be located on upper floors of buildings.
