Sunderland City Council Travelling Showpeople and Gypsy and Traveller accommodation needs and provision report

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Travelling Showpeople Travelling Showpeople are members of a group organised for the purposes of holding fairs, circuses or shows. Within the city, in particular within the Houghton and Hetton area there is a well-established community of Travelling Showpeople.

1.2 For the purposes of planning the ‘Planning Policy for Traveller sites’ (DCLG, 2015), defines Travelling Showpeople as ‘Members of a group or organisation for the purposes of holding fairs, circuses or shows (whether or not travelling together as such). This includes such persons who on the grounds of their own or their family’s or dependants’ more localised pattern of trading, educational or health needs or old age have ceased to travel temporarily, but excludes Gypsies and Travellers’.

1.3 Gypsy and Travellers Gypsy and Travellers is the term used to refer to all Romany Gypsies and Irish Traveller, there are several Gypsy and Travellers communities, each with different histories and traditions.

1.4 For the purposes of planning the ‘Planning Policy for Traveller sites’ (DCLG, 2015), defines Gypsies and Travellers as ‘Persons of nomadic habit of life whatever their race or origin, including such persons who on grounds of their own or their family’s or dependants’ educational or health needs or old age have ceased to travel temporarily, but excluding members of an organised group of Travelling Showpeople or circus people travelling together as such.’

1.5 Sunderland does not currently have any pitch provision for gypsies and travellers, however within the city unauthorised encampments do arise, temporarily providing a place to stay for gypsies and travellers who are passing through the city, or are here visiting relatives or friends.

2.0 Purpose of report

2.1 The purpose of this report is to set out:-

 The accommodation requirements for Gypsy and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople over the plan period (2015/16-2032/33)  The site selection methodology and criteria used to assess sites  The proposed sites to be incorporated into the draft Core Strategy and Development Plan (CSDP)

1

3.0 National requirements

3.1 Local Planning Authorities are required, through the NPPF and Planning Policy for Traveller sites to set pitch1 targets for Gypsies and Travellers and plot targets for Travelling Showpeople which address the permanent and transit accommodation needs in their area, working collaboratively with neighbouring local planning authorities. In addition to identifying actual plot/pitch requirements over the plan period the local plan process must also ensure that a supply of specific sites are identified to meet the plot/pitch requirements, in order for the plan to be considered deliverable and sound. Identified specific sites should be allocated in the Local Plan. In identifying specific sites, it must be demonstrated that the sites are deliverable, offer a suitable location for development and there is a realistic prospect that development will be delivered on the site within five years.

4.0 Accommodation requirements

4.1 Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Accommodation Assessment 2017 As part of the evidence base to inform the CSDP an update was taken to the 2014 Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling Showpeople accommodation assessment to identify the needs of these groups across the city. This updated assessment was finalised in June 2017.

4.2 The assessment used the following evidence sources:-

 A review of existing secondary data  An online survey of key stakeholders and  Face to face Interviews with Travelling Showpeople households and postal questionnaires from showpeople living on yards in the city  Informal conversations with residents on both the Grasswell and Pearsons Travelling Showpeople’s yards.

4.3 Assessment conclusions Travelling Showpeople- With regards travelling showpeople, the assessment indicated that within the city there are currently 100 plots distributed amongst 5 yards, ranging from small individual/family yards in the Washington and Herrington Burn area, to larger yards accommodating a number of households within the Houghton-le-Spring and Hetton-le-Hole area.

4.4 In terms of needs over the plan period, the assessment specified a requirement for 33 plots over the plan period, broken down into the following time periods:-

1 A ‘pitch’ means a pitch on a ‘Gypsy and Traveller’ site and a ‘plot’ means a pitch on a ‘Travelling Showpeople’ site (often called a yard). This terminology differentiates between residential pitches for ‘Gypsy and Travellers’ and mixed-use plots for ‘Travelling Showpeople’, which may/will need to incorporate space or to be split to allow for the storage of equipment.

Table 1 Total Need for Travelling Showpeople Plot Shortfall year 1-3 (2015/16- 6 2017/18) Plot requirements years 4-9 9 (2018/19- 2022/23) Plot requirements years 10-18 18 (2023/24- 2032/33) Total requirement plan period 33 (2015/16-2032/33)

4.5 This results in a short–term 5 year plan period requirement of 15 plots2. The assessment indicates that new yards for travelling showpeople should consider the location of the existing travelling showpeople communities, mainly within the Coalfield area and Washington.

4.6 In terms of plot size, a number of residents with families living on yards within the city indicated that the plots they currently reside on are too small to accommodate a growing family and larger plots would be preferable.

4.7 Gypsy and Travellers - In terms of requirements for Gypsy and Travellers, the assessment indicated that within the city there have been a number of unauthorised encampments over the past four years. 3 However, these have accommodated people stopping off within the city as part of a longer journey, or people visiting family/friends and are short-term in nature. (It should be noted that a number of these encampments have been by local families who reside in bricks and mortar within the city). As such the assessment indicates a need for stop-over provision within the city to accommodate 5 pitches.

2 Which includes shortfall for years 15/16, 16/17and 17/18 prior to plan adoption in 2018. 3 2013 – 14 encampments, 2014 -16 encampments, 2015 -14 encampments, 2016- 17 encampments

5.0 Site requirements

5.1 In terms of plot sizes, yards and plots for travelling showpeople vary in size due to the make-up and needs of the households, with requirements for family plots as well as plots for couples required. The plots normally accommodate a static caravan/chalet, vehicles, possibly a touring caravan for travelling and an area to store and maintain show equipment. This storage space can sometimes be a communal area, however there is usually a preference for them to form part of individual plots for security reasons

5.2 In addition to this travelling showpeople tend to live in close proximity to other family members, albeit, who form their own household and as such a plot/yard size is difficult to specify and therefore yards which could accommodate a mix of plot sizes and allow for family yards to be created have been considered.

5.3 With regards the stop-over site for gypsy and travellers, the size of the pitches should be large enough to accommodate two caravans, two vehicles and outdoor space, with each pitch having an area for the provision of electricity, water, sewerage outlet and toilets. (These will be provided by the use of portaloos, bowsers and generators, which will be brought in each time the site is occupied). The site will be laid out to hardstanding, fenced and gated, with appropriate screening put in place.

6.0 Site selection methodology

6.1 In order to accommodate the need a city-wide search was undertaken to identify appropriate locations for both travelling showpeople and gypsy and travellers. Determining the suitability of each site has been based upon criteria set out within the National Planning Policy Framework and the Planning Policy for Travellers and Travelling Showpeople (DCLG 2015) to ensure any identified site is sustainable economically, socially and environmentally.

6.2 As such, the following site criteria were considered for each site4 :-

 Located in Green Belt  Located so have access to health facilities and schools  Located so as to avoid adverse effects on the wellbeing of site occupiers  Reasonably located where they will not be detrimental to the city's regeneration aims  Located away from any known high flood risk areas  Located so as to avoid sensitive areas (both natural and local environment - noise and air quality)  Located on sites that are appropriate for a live/work lifestyle

4 The full schedule of sites set out against the criteria is included at appendix 1

4

 Located so as not to have any detrimental impact on residential amenities and highway safety  Located so as not to create a significant intrusion into the landscape  Located in areas which are compatible with or/are acceptable against other policies of the LDF

6.3 As sites need to be deliverable (available/suitable and achievable within the next five-years), in the main council owned sites were considered. A number of sites in private ownership were considered, but then discounted due to availability issues.

6.4 A desk-top assessment was undertaken initially, with each site assessed against the criteria points with existing UDP policies and green space audit work also considered. A conclusion was then reached as to whether the site was considered acceptable and then categorised into either red, (unsuitable sites), amber (site could go ahead but not the most suitable location/costly/other land use), or green (suitable site). Site visits were undertaken on all of the green and amber sites and a number of the red sites (red sites for clarification purposes).

6.5 Overall 117 city-wide sites were assessed (22 in Sunderland North, 21 in Washington, 31 in Sunderland South and 43 within the Coalfield area). Of these 117 sites, 74 were discounted and categorised as red following the initial assessment, due to being unsuitable or undeliverable (as land not in council ownership). A further 38 were then discounted, due to reasons such as, location not being very accessible, being visually intrusive or highway safety issues.

6.6 As the site search for both Travelling Showpeople and Gypsies and Travellers has been constrained to council owned land to ensure deliverability, a wider call for sites for these land uses will also be undertaken as part of the Local Plan consultation exercise to ensure any further private sites which may be available can also be considered.

7.0 Conclusion of site selection

7.1 Travelling Showpeople The site selection process identified two sites which could be allocated for travelling showpeople within the Coalfield area, of which both would be required to accommodate short-term needs. Longer term, broad locations have been identified around the wider Pearson’s and Market Place Industrial Estate areas.

7.2 The sites proposed to accommodate the travelling showpeople yards are:-

5

7.3 Open space to the rear of Pearson’s Industrial estate, Hetton-le-Hole (site 107)

7.4 Site description The site which is an area of open space, is located to the north of Pearson’s Industrial Estate. It has no vehicular access to the site and pedestrian access is via a footpath to the northern edge of the site. The site is adjoined to the north by a tree belt and the Hetton Burn, with industrial units to the far north. To the east lies Hetton Lyons Country Park and allotments adjoin the site to the west. To the south of the site are existing travelling showpeople’s yards which are located within Pearson’s Industrial Estate. It is at this point that vehicular access to the site would need to be taken, due to it being land locked (for vehicles) from all other directions.

7.5 Accessibility The site is within close proximity of local shops, schools and health facilities and transport links at Hetton–le-Hole centre.

7.6 Site conclusion This area of open space is used infrequently due to the close proximity of Hetton Lyons Country Park, which is adjacent. The area itself has an abundance of open space and is above city levels in terms of green space quantity. However, the northern part of the site will remain as open space due to flooding issues from the Hetton Burn, restricting the area of land that can be used for caravan/chalet type accommodation. In terms of noise and disturbance from working on machinery, as the site is not adjoined by general residential properties it is not considered that the use of the site will be detrimental to existing residents. As the site is in council ownership it is considered deliverable, subject to agreement over access.

6

7.7 Council depot at Market Place Industrial Estate, Houghton-le-Spring (site105)

7.8 Site description The site, which is located on the edge of Market Place Industrial Estate is currently in operation as a council depot and is allocated as employment land. It is adjoined to the north by open space, to the west by both open space and industrial uses (vehicle repair unit adjoin the site). To the south, separated by an access road, lie a mix of industrial uses and the rear of residential properties which front Lake Road. Allotments adjoin the site to the west. Both vehicular and pedestrian access to the site is taken from Lake Road/Gravel Walks.

7.9 Accessibility The site is within close proximity to facilities at Houghton-le-spring Town Centre and has schools nearby. Local facilities are also available nearby.

7.10 Site conclusion Due to the peripheral location of this site in relation to the industrial estate, it is not considered that the existing uses on the estate will be detrimental to the amenity of proposed residents of the site. Screening could also be put in place between the existing industrial estate and the proposed site. It is also considered that any noise impact on existing residential properties to the south at Lake Road and to the west will be limited as fairground equipment could be stored and maintained to the eastern most part of the site. The depot is programmed for closure within the next 2 years and as such is considered available. The loss of employment land for a site of this size and in this location is not considered to be detrimental to the overall employment portfolio in this area.

7

7.11 Gypsy and Travellers The site selection process identified three options for the stop-over site for gypsy and travellers, two within Sunderland South and one within the Coalfield. Three site options have been put forward to accommodate the stop-over site for gypsy and travellers, however due to the low numbers of need only one site will be required. It should be noted that residents of the stop-over site will be restricted to a maximum stay of 7 days with the possibility of extensions should circumstances warrant an extended stay. Residents will be prohibited from returning to the site within a three month period. The site will be gated and a nightly tariff will be in place for those wanting to stay on the site. As the site requirement is for stop-over provision and not permanent, the criteria in relation to access to schools was not seen as crucial.

7.12 The options are as follows:

8

7.13 Hendon Road East, on the perimeter of the industrial estate (site 101)

7.14 Site description This site is located within an industrial estate and takes the form of open space, which is used for horse grazing from nearby stables. The site is part of a wider stretch of open space which adjoins the site to the south and is required for the proposed future port access road. (The proposed location of this site does not affect this future road proposal). To the north, east and further south are employment uses, mainly in the form of reclamation yards. The site has vehicular access in place to the north east corner of the site and is fenced off to Hendon Road East.

7.15 Accessibility The site is located within walking distance to nearby facilities at Hendon and the wider City Centre facilities and can be easily accessed for vehicles north bound from the A19 via the Southern Radial Route.

7.16 Site Conclusion The use of this site for a stop-over gypsy and traveller site is considered to be acceptable in principle. The loss of open space in this location is not considered to be detrimental to overall amount of open space available in this area. As the site is not intended to be used as a permanent facility, the impact from users of the site from neighbouring industrial uses is not considered to be unreasonable.

9

7.17 Sandmere Road, Leechmere Industrial estate (site 111)

7.18 Site description This site, which is laid out to hardstand is located within Leechmere Industrial estate on a vacant plot of land, which has not been in use for some time. It is positioned at the head of a cul-de-sac within the industrial estate and is adjoined to the north by a care home. The landscaping in place between the site and the care home is at such a level that it forms a very good natural screen and the site is not visible from the care home or the nearby roads. To the south of the site the employment uses are a mix of storage and distribution uses with trade counters.

7.19 Accessibility The site is within close proximity to local facilities. The site is easily accessible via Toll Bar Road or Leechmere road, which can both be accessed easily via the southern radial route when travelling north bound on the A19.

7.20 Site conclusion The use of this site for a stop-over gypsy and traveller site is considered acceptable in principle due to the location being on the edge of the industrial estate and very well screened with existing landscaping. The site also has very good vehicular access already in place and is currently laid out to hardstand, making the site deliverable. Local health, shops and school facilities are located within the immediate area of this site.

10

7.21 Car park at Hetton Lyons ponds (Stephenson Lake – site 94)

7.22 Site description This site is located on an existing car park which serves Stephenson Lake at Hetton- Le-Hole. The site is surrounded by woodland to all boundaries, with the nearest industrial unit to the west being a wholesale distribution warehouse, albeit it is separated from the site by a tree belt. Stephenson Lake lies to the north of the site and is accessed by footpath from the car park. (Other pedestrian footpaths accessing the pond are in place from the north). Vehicular access to the site is from Colliery Lane/Parkgate. Being a car park vehicular access and hardstand is already in place.

7.23 Accessibility Local facilities at Hetton-le-hole and Easington Lane can be easily accessed from the site. For vehicles wanting to make use of the site, it is easily accessible from the A19 via the B1285 through Murton.

7.24 Site conclusion The site is considered acceptable in principle due to its location being away from the main built up area, yet easily accessible to local facilities. The existing screening in place reduces any amenity issues in relation to the nearby industrial estate. The site is currently in use, however should this be the preferred location for the Gypsy and Traveller stop-over site alternative arrangements will have to be put in place for car parking. Consideration could be given to only utilising part of the site to allow a smaller area of car parking to remain.
