1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Local Development Plan Wales (2005) paragraph 1.21 states the importance of ensuring that all proposals within the Local Development Plan (LDP) are ‘realistic and likely to be implemented within the Plan Period’ in the interest of avoiding blight. In this respect, all proposals included as land use allocations within the LDP should have sufficient evidence to suggest that they can be delivered within the Plan Period.
1.2 This document sets out the site specific delivery and implementation of the land use allocations contained in the LDP. Each allocation follows a standard pro forma containing basic information, details of which are set out in the following chapter.
3 Delivery and Implementation Background Paper December 2013
2. SITE PRO FORMAS
2.1 A site pro forma has been completed for each allocation within the Plan setting out details of the anticipated delivery and implementation requirements.
GENERAL INFORMATION
2.2 The basic site information is provided, including: site name, LDP reference, proposed use, ward, total area (in hectares), site commentary and site plan are provided for each allocation.
PHASING
2.3 The LDP sets out the proposed development aspirations for Newport for a 15 year period. The phasing of such development is critical in ensuring that the relevant infrastructure and affects will be considered in a timely manner. The plan led system does not deliver development and the impact from the market is one of many critical factors that cannot be overlooked in the consideration of when and how development will be delivered. The information on phasing is based on the best available information and takes a long term view over the plan period. It is acknowledged that this may change over the Plan Period.
2.4 The allocations have been split into three distinct periods:
• Phase 1 – 2011 to 2016 • Phase 2 – 2016 to 2021 • Phase 3 – 2021 to 2026
2.5 Each site outlines the period(s) within which it is anticipated to be delivered.
PLANNING STATUS
2.6 Where planning permission has been granted or an application is being considered, this has been noted. If the site does not have planning permission then it has been noted as ‘identified in the LDP’. If the allocation is noted in another plan or strategy then this has also been noted e.g. Regional Transport Plan.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
2.7 The type of planning requirement for a site will differ depending on its location and proposed use. Where constraints are known they have been noted, they include – flood risk, ecology, landscape and environmental health assessments. Where an allocation has planning permission, the requirements are known and have been outlined in the pro forma. For those remaining sites, information has been collated through consultation with statutory and internal sections of the Council. The list is not exhaustive but gives an indication at this point in time. The relevant planning consideration will be clarified at the planning application stage.
4 Delivery and Implementation Background Paper December 2013
INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS
2.8 Each allocation will have some level of infrastructure requirement. Where this is known, or has been agreed, this has been noted. For the remaining allocations, infrastructure requirements have been based on information provided by relevant organisations and internal departments. The list is not exhaustive but gives an indication at this point in time. The required infrastructure for each site will be clarified at the planning application stage.
IMPLEMENTATION AND FUNDING SOURCE
2.9 The majority of development sites rely on private sector investment and implementation. Where this is the case, private sector developers are expected to fund essential utilities infrastructure, as outlined in the relevant policies of the LDP. Other sources of funding and implementation lie with the public sector, including the Welsh Government and statutory undertakers. The anticipated source of funding and implementation has been noted for each allocation.
5 Delivery and Implementation Background Paper December 2013
3. JUSTIFICATION AND RATIONALE
3.1 The basis for the allocation differs for each development type i.e. housing, employment etc. An explanation for each source is outlined below.
HOUSING
3.2 TAN 1: Joint Housing Land Availability (2006) sets out the national requirement for Local Planning Authorities to undertake an annual Joint Housing Land Availability (JHLAS) survey. Newport’s most up to date published report is for the base date April 2012. During the JHLAS process developer and/or their agents are contacted in order to gain an understanding of the likely timescales involved and any constraints facing the development. This information is set out for consultation to the JHLA study group, members include Home Builders Federation, Welsh Water, Registered Social Landlords, and is also available for public comment as the information is made available on the Council’s website. The consultation responses are considered and are set out in a Statement of Common Ground (SOCG). Where matters of dispute are raised, the LPA mediates and where consensus cannot be arranged it goes to the Planning Inspectorate to consider. For the most recent study (April 2012) there were no outstanding issues of dispute.
3.1 The phasing outlined in this paper has been based on the JHLAS system, due to this being considered as a formal, open and robust evidence base. In addition the Council contacted the landowner or agent for the sites within the Plan in August 2012. Although there was a limited response to this call for information, where it was provided it has been utilised here.
3.2 Table 1 provides a summary of the phasing of development, implementation, funding source and planning status for the housing allocations within the LDP.
3.3 Following the summary table are individual site schedules for each allocation which is anticipated to be delivered within the Plan Period, setting out in detail the proposed site details including planning considerations and infrastructure requirements.

Site Commentary The site is located between the village of Llanwern and the A455 Southern Distributor Road. The site is Greenfield and mainly comprises agricultural land intersected by a network of hedges and other field boundaries. The site is surrounded by mainly agricultural land and woodland with a golf course to the south. Along Cot Hill, which divided the sites, are houses along the northern site. Monks Ditch is approximately 100m East of the site. Immediately to the West of the site, South of Cot Hill, are allotments.
The site is part of the Eastern Expansion Area growth strategy for the Council. The proposed site compromises a residential development of 1,100 units together with a new primary school, village centre, open space and replacement allotments. The proposed development would be a major factor in the economic and sustainable development of the city as a whole increasing its population with a large mixed residential site. The development would also facilitate an integrated transport network for the Eastern Expansion Area linking to the former steelworks site. The site is allocated reflecting the extant planning permission and will deliver 1,100 units over the Plan Period.

Site Commentary The site is adjacent to Usk Way to the south west, Jacks Pill to the south east, Opal students’ residential accommodation to the north west and the River Usk to the north east. The sites has been cleared and remediated.
Permission has previously been granted for the construction of 227 residential units on this site. This permission has not been implemented and subsequently temporary permission for a car park has been granted and implemented. It is considered that as part of a wider regeneration priority for the Council and Newport Unlimited the site is able to supply a residential provision. The previously high density scheme approved on the site has therefore been reduced to allow a density level in line with neighbouring schemes and the delivery is anticipated to be realised in the last five years of the Plan Period.

GYPSY AND TRAVELLER ACCOMMODATION
3.4 Information on the phasing and delivery of Gypsy and Traveller residential sites has mostly been acquired as a result of direct communication between Local Authority Officers and Gypsy and Traveller families and through careful master planning of pitch numbers required over the Plan Period. The numbers are based on the highest possible conception numbers per family over the 15 year plan period. Sites will initially only provide pitches for existing family members. Additional pitches will be created only as a result of natural family growth rather than extraneous migration to the Authority area. Such potential pitch numbers have already been accounted for in the phasing. A transit site of 7 pitches is required as soon as possible in the Plan Period, preferably in the first phase.
3.5 Table 2 provides a summary of the phasing of development, implementation, funding source and planning status for the Gypsy and Traveller allocations within the LDP.
3.6 Following the summary table of individual site schedules, for each allocation, setting out in detail the proposed site details including planning considerations and infrastructure requirements.
