INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION Preparing Newcastle’s Unitary Development Plan 1.1 The Unitary Development Plan will guide land use and transportation planning in Newcastle to the year 2006. It will help to shape public and private sector efforts to regenerate the City, and provide a regulatory framework to safeguard and improve the environment. 1.2 The UDP has completed the following stages: Strategic Guidance In April 1989 the Secretary of State for the Environment issued Strategic Guidance as a framework for UDPs being prepared by the five Tyne and Wear Metropolitan District Councils. During the preparation of this Guidance, the Department of the Environment consulted a wide range of organisations within the Region and nationally. Public Consultation on the Draft UDP Newcastle’s Draft UDP was published in May 1991. Between June and the end of October 1991 wide ranging consultation was undertaken, which resulted in many responses to the Draft Plan. Preparation of the Deposit UDP Following public consultation the City Council examined the response and reconsidered the contents of the Draft Plan. On 10th May 1993 the City Council approved the Deposit UDP. Public Inquiry A Public Inquiry into the Deposit UDP was held between November 1994 and June 1995. The report of the Inquiry Inspector was published in December 1996. Adoption The Plan was formally adopted by the City Council on 28th January 1998. Format of this Plan 1.3 In redrafting the Plan following consultation on the Draft, a simplified structure was adopted. This fulfils the Government’s requirement that the Plan should have three main elements: Part One This sets out the City Council’s aims, objectives and strategic policies. The structure of Part One is provided by three themes - Development, Environment and Transport, within which the City Council’s eight aims are set out. Part Two This sets out detailed policies and specific proposals. Policies included in Part One are repeated and then amplified in certain cases. The reasoned justification for the Plan is within Part Two. Detailed development control policy statements are set out in the final chapter of the Plan. In some cases these statements are complemented by supplementary planning guidance notes, which have been approved by the City Council’s Development Control Sub-Committee. While supplementary guidance does not form part of this Plan it will be a material consideration in determining certain planning applications. Proposals Map This shows the Plan’s proposals on an Ordnance Survey base. An inset map shows proposals for the City Centre at a larger scale. Newcastle upon Tyne Unitary Development Plan Introduction 1 BACKGROUND Background facts 1.4 The factual background to the City’s UDP Strategy is as follows: Economy and jobs 1.5 During the 1980’s growth in the service sector of the City’s economy helped to compensate for some of the employment lost in the manufacturing industries

  • Throckley Leazes Tenants and Residents Group
    Throckley Leazes Tenants and Residents Group Established January 1998 Chairman Jennie Stokell Vice Chairman Secretary Carol Eddy Treasurer Sheila Grey Monday 22 August 2016 David Owen, Review Officer, (Newcastle upon Tyne) Local Government Boundary Commission for England, 14th Floor, Millbank Tower, Millbank, London, SW1P 4QP. Dear Sir or Madam, Ref : City of Newcastle upon Tyne - Draft Recommendations on New Electoral Arrangements - Callerton Throckley I have been asked by our Ward Counsellors to thank you for putting Walbottle back into this electoral ward. My Group are still not happy about this new ward created by apparently adding odd bits of the outer City to Newburn, Throckley, etc, to create a “patchwork” ward with little cohesion along its length once away from the riverside settlements. Our objections are as follows 1. Consultation. My Group are disappointed that the City Council have again failed to publise this consultation about the proposed changes to the ward boundaries and the implications to the people living in the areas. We have found when raising the issue at our meetings and in private conversations, that there is more interest than we would have expected once the whole project relating to the proposed changes around Throckley and Newburn are explained. This interest is across the age ranges of residents, not simply among the elderly who have memories of the Newburn Urban District Council and its governance of the area prior to Newburn, etc. inclusion in the City of Newcastle upon Tyne. Local people are possessive of the long term history of their area and the events which make up their social and cultural heritage.

All of our users have benefited from the outstanding facilities, and we are continually building bridges across the entire North East community to grow our provision, delivery and the opportunities for all interested in sport.

  • Newcastle Conservative Federation
    Newcastle Conservative Federation Newcastle City Council Electoral Review – Draft Boundaries Submission August 2016 This is a response from the Newcastle Conservative Federation to the Local Government Boundary Commission’s draft proposals for electoral ward boundaries within Newcastle upon Tyne. It draws on the views expressed to us by our members and local residents. We have chosen not to submit a full alternative response to the Commission’s proposals but would like to offer some thoughts on some specific ward proposals where we have received feedback from our members or residents. Newcastle Conservatives responded to the original consultation on warding arrangements by expressing its view that the number of councillors should reduce from the current level of seventy-eight. Our original proposal was to reduce the number of councillors to fifty-two representing fifty-two single member wards. However we acknowledged that were the Council and the Commission to continue to divide the number of councillors by three then the reduction should be to fifty-four councillors with three members each representing one of eighteen wards. We set out our reasons for this in detail which we have attached as an appendix to this submission. The strong arguments in favour of a reduction appeared initially to have been accepted by the Commission, however the Commission then changed its mind after protests from the City Council. We remain disappointed that the Commission chose to cave in to pressure from Labour councillors and declined to take this opportunity to reduce the cost of politics in Newcastle and provide the City with an adequate level of representation.

Please reverse the decision on the Dene adn Manor Park ward boundariues decision and choose Newcastle Council’s Option 1 for area C as this is more in line with our communities and services. Thank you, Karon Alderman 1 ‐‐ Jonathan Ashby Review Assistant LGBCE From: Sent: 19 August 2016 13:07 To: reviews <[email protected]> Subject: Draft recommendations for Newcastle City Council Good Morning, I have attached an extract from your document concerning the above issue which is a little confusing - apologies if you are already aware of this.. As I reside in North Walbottle I have always thought that we have little in common with the existing Newburn ward and fully support the creation of a new Chapel ward and North Walbottle's inclusion within it. However, on reading the document, there is an apparent contradiction (which I assume is a simple slip of the pen/keyboard) - I have highlighted the error in yellow, and which should read simply Walbottle and not North Walbottle? Thank you.

Annexe D Surveys and research Annexe E References and acknowledgements 2 1 Introduction 1.1 We need to consider whether we need standards for green spaces in Newcastle. What sort of standards, and how to apply them. 1.2 Without standards there is no baseline against which provision can be measured. It is difficult to make a case against a proposal to build on or change the use of existing open space or a case for open space to be included in a development scheme if there are no clear and agreed standards. 1.3 Standards are used to define how much open space is needed, particularly when planning new developments. Local authority planning and leisure departments have developed standards of provision and these have been enshrined in policy and guidance documents.
