As a consequence of the Inspectors Post-Hearing Procedural Note (EX72a) this is no longer considered to be a necessary action. 2. Provide note on UDP housing sites where work not yet commenced together with explanation why the Council remains confident the sites will come forward.

Add Leeds Inclusive Growth Strategy (including Digital Communications Strategy) to evidence base. The Council has provided this information – see EX49. 10. Provide copies of judgements referred to (to be provided by Friday 20 July 2018). The Council has provided this information – see EX39a to i. 2 of 199 Week Commencing 16 July 2018 11.

Carry out SA of identified sites where pp expired or UDP allocations not implemented (including EG1 and EO1 sites). (Timescales to be confirmed in note to Inspectors) w/c 23 July 2018 The Council has carried out further consultation on an SA of these identified sites from 14th August until 11th September 2018. 34 representations and 2 late representations were received. The consultation material alongside a summary of the consultation responses is provided at Appendix 1. 17. Consider Main Modification to delete / withdraw MX2-30. See table of Main Modifications to follow. 18. Up-date EX2c with the most up to date information at April 2018 (for HG1 sites where planning permission has expired and UDP sites) See Appendix 2 and in relation to UDP sites, EX45. Modifications proposed in Appendix 2 shall follow. 3 of 199 19. Consider Main Modification to allocation MX2-9 to clearly indicate what education provision is required. The Council has considered this, but do not propose a modification in this regard. Site requirements for education provision are deliberately non-specific so as to allow for flexibility in considering actual education needs at the time of dealing with specific planning applications. As the Updated Infrastructure Background Paper (EX51) explains “All the circumstances, at the time the school provision needs to be brought forward, will need to be appraised afresh” (paragraph 3.7) and “This approach should ensure the authority is not left with a strategic shortfall of provision, but proposals will only be brought forward where the demand is confirmed” (paragraph 3.9). 20. Provide plan to demonstrate the location of East Leeds Orbital Route in relation to HG2-119. See Appendix 3. 21. Provide details (in SoCG with Johnson Mowatt) of planning proposal being prepared on land in East Leeds Extension area. See Appendix 4. 22. HG2-168 & HG2-169 (OSW) – clarify relationship with implementation of site requirements and the adjacent Kirklees area See table of Main Modifications (Outer South West) to follow. 23. HG2-153 – consider Main Modification to site requirements relating to public right- of-way and traffic calming measures. See table of Main Modifications (Outer South West) to follow. 24. Provide clarification in relation to public footpath(s) within sites HG2-204 & HG2-206. See table of Main Modifications (Outer West) to follow. 25. Consider Main Modification to provide clearer sign-posting to drainage requirements. See table of Main Modifications to follow. 26. Clarify current position on site and site capacity expressed in planning permission on HG2-72. There is no current planning application or permission on site HG2-72, Tyersal Court, Tyersal, Outer West HMCA. Capacities in the Plan Paragraph 2.42 of the Plan (CD1/1) explains that ‘The capacities listed in the Plan against 4 of 199 each site use a standard methodology used for the Council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)…The approach estimates the potential housing capacity of a site by applying a standard density multiplier to the net area of the site. The density multiplier varies according to the location of a site, a higher multiplier being applied to City Centre sites to lower in more rural locations. The capacities can only be an indication of what could be achieved on a site – when a detailed planning application is submitted, this may be higher or lower, depending on the specific details of the application.’ The Council has checked that this site is correctly categorised in line with the approach to the rest of the Plan. For clarification the site falls within an area where a density of 30 dwellings per hectare has been applied. School extension land provision The Council has applied a standard, consistent methodology to calculate the land required for school extensions. For sites where a one form entry extension is required to an existing school to provide a two form entry school, 0.84ha has consistently been applied to sites as a reserve area for the extension. However, the Council recognises that its methodology may underplay the potential capacity of sites as it applies a 75% net developable area calculation before land for schools is accounted for. To that end, the capacity for HG2-72 is proposed to be modified as follows: Calculation used for HG2-72 Therefore, in the case of site HG2-72, the calculation was: 2.89 (total site area) x 30 (dph) x 0.75 (net developable area of 0.75 is assumed, to allow for provision of greenspace etc) = 65. From a capacity of 65, 25 is deducted for the school provision (0.84 x 30 = 25), resulting in a broad capacity of 40. Revised Calculation proposed for site HG2-72 The Council propose to revise the calculation, to take the area needed for school provision off from the total site area at the start of the calculation, to ensure a net capacity figure for the site overall results: 2.89 – 0.84ha required for school extension = 2.05. 2.05 x 30 x 0.75 = 46 The Council therefore propose a main modification to the Plan to amend the capacity of HG2-72 from 40 to 46 (modifications to follow). The Council will apply the same revised methodology to similar sites, where this occurs, and propose modifications (to follow) accordingly.

I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.

DEFINING THE HOUSING REQUIREMENT 2 3. MEETING HOUSING NEED 6 4. STRATEGIC SITES 12 5. MILL LANE, LYMM 18 6. CONCLUSIONS 26 Introduction 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This representation has been prepared by Barton Willmore on behalf of our Client Anwyl Land Ltd and Anwyl Construction Company Ltd (“the Client”) in response to the Preferred Development Option of the Warrington Local Plan currently subject to consultation by Warrington Borough Council (“the Council”). 1.2 The Local Plan will define the strategic approach to development within Warrington Borough between 2017 and 2037. This includes establishing a new housing and employment requirement, as well as the identification of new sites for development to meet these requirements in full. 1.3 The consultation provides a first view of the Council’s proposals for the new Local Plan, further to the conclusion of key evidence gathering exercises which took place in 2016. 1.4 The preparation of a new Local Plan in Warrington follows the successful High Court Challenge of the proposed housing requirement of the Core Strategy which saw this being quashed. This left the Council without an up-to-date housing requirement on which to plan for new sites and monitor housing supply. 1.5 Further to a review of the consultation document and supporting evidence, these representations have been structured to consider the “soundness” (as defined in Paragraph 182 of the NPPF) of the Local Plan in response to the following matters: • Defining the housing requirement (Section 2); • Meeting housing needs (Section 3); and • Sites for Development (Section 4).
