OVERVIEW OF SPD 1.1 To support the allocation in the Core Strategy of the former Royal Ordnance Factory site as an Energy Park, with priority for renewable and low carbon energy generation and other energy related or complimentary uses, a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) has been prepared. This seeks to define through development principles the role, function and character of the proposed Energy Park with the objective to achieve sustainable high quality development. 1.2 The SPD and the Core Strategy allocation have been informed by the Council’s Economic Masterplan which identified Sedgemoor’s opportunity to become a centre for energy related business, employment and skills, building on the experience of new nuclear build at Hinkley Point, and other initiatives based on renewable energy and technologies. The Masterplan, and subsequently the Bridgwater Vision, identified the former Royal Ordnance Factory site as having the potential for being a focus for renewable and low carbon energy development and contributing to the ambitions of the Somerset Low Carbon Business Cluster. 1.3 In addition to supporting the allocation of the former ROF site in the Council’s Core Strategy, demonstrating that it is broadly deliverable within the Plan period to 2027, the SPD will also have a key role in providing a framework for assessing subsequent planning applications for the site. The Council formally adopted the SPD on 28th March 2012 and this is now a significant material planning consideration when determining applications for planning permission for the site, setting out the key principles that developers will need to follow. The adopted SPD forms part of the Sedgemoor Local Development Framework. 1.4 It should be stressed that the SPD does not set out full details of how the site will be redeveloped, for example detailed building plans, road layouts and known end users. Instead it sets out high level parameters against which detailed schemes submitted to the Council as planning applications will need to be assessed. It should therefore be seen as high level planning tool that sets out the important requirements and considerations that should be borne in mind when preparing planning applications. It does not set out what the site will ultimately look like or who will occupy it – that is the role of subsequent planning applications. 1.5 The emphasis of the SPD is on guidance rather than prescription recognising that delivering the k objectives for the site can be realised in a number of ways and that this will depend on a number of changing factors, for example economic circumstances including market demand. Given the likely long-term scale of the Energy Park Project building in flexibility into the SPD is essential. 1.6 However flexibility needs to be balanced with ensuring development and design principles are established that provide confidence to the local planning authority and local communities that potential impacts of are minimised wherever possible. So the adopted version of the SPD includes specific guidance on a range of issues informed through the public consultations and discussions with technical stakeholders that have taken place during the process of preparing the SPD. 1 2. PURPOSE OF CONSULTATION STATEMENT 2.1 This Consultation Statement sets out how Sedgemoor District Council has involved the community and stakeholders in the preparation of the Puriton Energy Park SPD Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). In doing so the Consultation Statement sets out how the Council has complied with Regulations 17(1)b and 18(4) of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004. 2.2 These regulations require that Local Authorities prepare a statement setting out the following: the names of any persons whom the authority consulted in connection with the preparation of the SPD; how those persons were consulted; a summary of the main issues raised in those consultations; and how those issues have been addressed in the SPD. 2.3 The Puriton Energy Park SPD has been the subject of two stages of consultation and these are detailed in this report alongside the key issues arising and the Council's response to them. This Consultation Statement is published, alongside the final adopted version of the SPD and its accompanying Sustainability Appraisal Report, on the Council's website at www.sedgemoor.gov.uk/energypark 2 3. PREPARING THE PURITON ENERGY PARK SPD 3.1 There have been a number of distinct stages in preparing the Puriton Energy Park SPD, including two stages of consultation. The process and timeline is summarised in Figure 1 below: Figure 1 - Progressing the Puriton Energy Park SPD Preparation of Initial Draft SPD (November 2010 – February 2011) Council’s Executive Approve Draft for Consultation (March 2011) Stage 1 Public Consultation (March – May 2011) Consideration of Representations Received (June - July 2011) Stage 2 Public Consultation (September – November 2011) Consideration of Representations Received and Proposed Amendments (November – December 2011) Council’s Executive Approve Final Draft and Recommend Adoption to Full Council (January 2012) Further Engagement with Puriton Parish Council and Puriton Residents Group (January – March 2012) Council Adopt SPD (28th March 2012) 3 4. SEDGEMOOR STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT 4.1 The Sedgemoor Statement of Community Involvement (SCI), adopted in April 2007, sets out how consultation on the documents of the Sedgemoor Local Development Framework would be undertaken. The aims of consultation as set out in the SCI are as follows. To: Inform people regularly about current planning issues as part of an ongoing programme of awareness raising and information; Invite people to participate in identifying concerns and key issues when undertaking technical research and gathering information on our area; Involve people in identifying issues and concerns when preparing development plan documents and supplementary planning documents; Listen to the results of public engagement, as well as taking in to account technical work and national/regional policy considerations before developing possible policy responses; Notify people of the outcomes of these considerations and how and to what extent these have shaped policy decisions; Motivate people through the use of a variety of consultation techniques to encourage a wide range of participants in the planning process, including those members of the community who traditionally have not participated in the past; Respond to those people making comments, advising them how their views have been taken in to consideration, how this has helped to shape the decision, or explaining the reason why the view has not been accepted. 4.2 The SCI also sets out which groups of people should be consulted and the possible methods and techniques of consulting. 4.3 It has been a main aim of the Puriton Energy Park SPD consultation to fulfil the aims of the Sedgemoor SCI and to follow the procedures set out within it in order to ensure that the consultation accords with the Council's Consultation Policy Statement that states: “We will work with the people within Sedgemoor to ensure the actions of the Council reflect the needs and wishes of the wider community. 4 5. STAGE 1 CONSULTATION 5.1 The Council’s Executive approved the draft SPD for Puriton Energy Park for public consultation on 9th March 2011. The SPD and the interim Sustainability Appraisal Report were subsequently published on the 22nd March 2011 for this purpose initially for 6 weeks. Following requests by those making representations the consultation period was extended to the 31st May 2011. 5.2 A total of 91 formal representations were received during the Stage 1 consultation period. Who We Consulted 5.3 In accordance with the SCI, all persons and organisations on the Council’s Local Development Framework consultation database were notified of the consultation on the Puriton Energy SPD and the dates and venues of the supporting events. Consultees on the LDF database are made up of the following groups: Specific consultation bodies. These are the bodies listed in planning legislation, including parish councils, agencies such as the Environment Agency and English Nature, and utility providers. General consultation bodies. These include organisations and individuals who are active in the area, including voluntary groups, faith groups, disability groups, and groups representing local businesses, Other Consultees. These are persons or organisations that have requested to be kept informed of progress on the LDF or who have been identified through previous consultation activities. This represents a wide spectrum of interests including individual members of the public, developers, landowners and special interest groups. 5.4 In addition to the database, letters of notification were also sent to local residents who had responded to the then current planning application for the solar farm to the east of Puriton village, adjacent to the fence line of the former Royal Ordnance Factory. 5.5 A full list of the persons and organisations that were notified of the consultation (at both Stage 1 and Stage 2) is attached in Appendix A1. How We Consulted 5.6 The consultation material including the draft SPD, Interim Sustainability Appraisal and relevant consultation questionnaire was published on the Council’s website at www.sedgemoor.gov.uk/energypark via the online consultation portal.

    Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2 WWW.SOMERSET.GOV.UK WELCOME TO THE 2ND SOMERSET RIGHTS OF WAY IMPROVEMENT PLAN Public Rights of Way are more than a valuable recreational resource - they are also an important asset in terms of the rural economy, tourism, sustainable transport, social inclusion and health and well being.
