INTRODUCTION 1.1 This background paper has been prepared to provide further information on the Peckham and Nunhead Area Action Plan (AAP). The document explains our approach to protecting Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs) in Peckham and Nunhead. The paper sets out which sites we are proposing as new SINCs and why. The paper also demonstrates how this has been carried out in conformity with the guidance in the Mayor’s Biodiversity Strategy (2002) (CDR17). 1.2 The Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation background paper is split into the following sections: Section 1 provides an introduction. Section 2 sets out the policy background. Section 3 sets out the research and evidence used to inform our approach. Section 4 provides an explanation of how our approach has been developed. Section 5 sets out our strategy for protecting and improving SINCs. Section 6 sets out how we will implement our strategy. 1.3 Throughout this background paper we have referenced the core documents (CDs) that have informed the AAP and a full list of these documents is in section 7 of this paper. 2. POLICY BACKGROUND 2.1 The policy context for Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs) in Southwark is set out below. NATIONAL National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (March 2012) (CDN1) 2.2 Since the Core Strategy was adopted, the government has published its National Planning Policy Framework. It sets out the government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. It consolidates the previous Planning Policy Statements (PPS) and Planning Policy Guidance (PPG) into a single, concise document covering all major forms of development proposals handled by local authorities. The NPPF sets out the Government’s economic, environmental and social planning policies. The policies apply to the preparation of local and neighbourhood plans, and to development management decisions. 2.3 In terms of biodiversity, the Government’s key objective is to ensure that planning contributes to and enhances the natural and local environment by recognising the wider benefits of ecosystem services 3 and minimising impacts on biodiversity and providing net gains in biodiversity where possible, contributing to the Government’s commitment to halt the overall decline in biodiversity. This includes the establishment of coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures. 2.4 The NPPF (para 113) requires local planning authorities to set criteria based policies against which proposals for any development on or affecting protected wildlife or geodiversity sites or landscape areas will be judged. The NPPF states that distinctions should be made between the hierarchy of international, national and locally designated sites, so that protection is commensurate with their status and gives appropriate weight to their importance and the contribution that they make to wider ecological networks. 2.5 Paragraph 117 of the NPPF requires Local planning authorities to set out a strategic approach in their Local Plans, planning positively for the creation, protection, enhancement and management of networks of biodiversity and green infrastructure. The NPPF states that to minimise impacts on biodiversity and geodiversity, planning policies should: plan for biodiversity at a landscape-scale across local authority boundaries; identify and map components of the local ecological networks, including the hierarchy of international, national and locally designated sites of importance for biodiversity, wildlife corridors and stepping stones that connect them and areas identified by local partnerships for habitat restoration or creation; promote the preservation, restoration and re-creation of priority habitats, ecological networks and the protection and recovery of priority species populations, linked to national and local targets, and identify suitable indicators for monitoring biodiversity in the plan; aim to prevent harm to geological conservation interests; and where Nature Improvement Areas are identified in Local Plans, consider specifying the types of development that may be appropriate in these Areas. 2.6 On a broader scale, paragraph 99 of the NPPF also states that Local Plans should take account of climate change over the longer term, including factors such as changes to biodiversity and landscape. New development should be planned to avoid increased vulnerability to the range of impacts arising from climate change. When new development is brought forward in areas which are vulnerable, care should be taken to ensure that risks can be managed through suitable adaptation measures, including through the planning of green infrastructure. REGIONAL The London Plan (2011) (CDR1) 4 2.7 Policy 2.18: Green Infrastructure: the network of open and green spaces states that the Mayor will work with all relevant strategic partners to protect, promote, expand and manage the extent and quality of, and access to, London’s network of green infrastructure. This multifunctional network will secure benefits including biodiversity. 2.8 Local planning authorities are required to link the delivery of local biodiversity action plans to open space strategies and ensure that through DPD policies green infrastructure needs are planned and managed to realise the current and potential value of open space to communities and to support delivery of the widest range of linked environmental and social benefits. 2.9 Policy 7.19 Biodiversity and access to nature states that the Mayor will work with all relevant partners to ensure a proactive approach to the protection, enhancement, creation, promotion and management of biodiversity in support of the Mayor’s Biodiversity Strategy. This means planning for nature from the beginning of the development process and taking opportunities for positive gains for nature through the layout, design and materials of development proposals and appropriate biodiversity action plans. 2.10 Local planning authorities are required to; a. use the procedures in the Mayor’s Biodiversity Strategy to identify and secure the appropriate management of sites of borough and local importance for nature conservation in consultation with the London Wildlife Sites Board. b. identify areas deficient in accessible wildlife sites and seek opportunities to address them c. include policies and proposals for the protection of protected/priority species and habitats and the enhancement of their populations and their extent via appropriate BAP targets d. ensure sites of European or National Nature Conservation Importance are clearly identified. e. identify and protect and enhance corridors of movement, such as green corridors, that are of strategic importance in enabling species to colonise, re-colonise and move between sites. 2.11 London contains numerous sites of importance for nature conservation. The Mayor expects London’s biodiversity and natural heritage to be conserved and enhanced for the benefit of current and future Londoners. These sites form an integral part of London’s green infrastructure and should be linked to other parts of the network to enhance its value. The Mayor’s Biodiversity Strategy (2002) (CDR17) 2.12 The Mayor’s Biodiversity Strategy sets out the criteria and procedures for identifying land of importance for London’s biodiversity for protection in LDFs and identifying areas of deficiency in access to nature. The 5 land of importance includes Sites of Metropolitan Importance (which include all biological Sites of Special Scientific Interest and further areas of regional importance), sites of Borough and Local Importance, Green Corridors and other local designations. Protecting this framework of strategic importance for biodiversity serves to protect the significant areas of BAP priority habitat in London and most priority species. LOCAL Saved Southwark Plan (2007) (CDL2) 2.13 Strategic Policy 15 Open space and biodiversity requires all developments to, where appropriate, create, preserve and enhance biodiversity. 2.14 Policy 3.28 Biodiversity sets out how biodiversity will be taken into account in the determination of all planning applications and will encourage the inclusion in developments of features which enhance biodiversity, requiring an ecological assessment where relevant. The policy also states that Developments will not be permitted which would damage the nature conservation value of sites of importance for nature conservation (SINCs) and where, exceptionally, such developments

  • Southwark Labour Group of Councillors and Its Representatives from Across Southwark
    Local Government Boundary Commission for England Electoral Review of Southwark Council Southwark Group of Labour Councillors Submission November 2015 1 Introduction The Labour Party in Southwark welcomes the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s review of the warding arrangements in Southwark and their decision that Southwark Council should retain 63 Members for future elections. We now welcome the opportunity to submit evidence to the Commission. Labour has 48 of the 63 councillors on Southwark Council, holds all three parliamentary seats and the GLA seat. This document sets out the thinking of the Southwark Labour Group of Councillors and its representatives from across Southwark. We have used our knowledge of working in communities in every part of the borough to set out our proposals for warding patterns and the communities which make up the details of this proposal. In this paper we set out our joint approach, how that meets the criteria set out in law and information to support these claims. We are very happy to discuss the details of this further with the Commission or provide any additional information that is required. 2 Our approach The Commission set out three statutory criteria to the Council’s Chief Executive in their letter of 8 September 2015. 1. To deliver electoral equality where each councillor represents roughly the same number of electors as others across the borough. The LGBCE’s letter to the Chief Executive agrees the council’s own recommendation that the authority retains its current 63 members. The projected electorate figures mean that each councillor would represent 3,862 electors on average in 2021.
