Local Plan for Sefton April 2017 Local Plan for Sefton April 2017 FOREWORD TO THE SEFTON LOCAL PLAN Sefton is a diverse borough that contains towns and villages with distinct identities and communities. Sefton is also home to areas of open countryside and a coastal area that helps make Sefton an attractive location where people choose to live, work and visit. Whilst Sefton’s varied character and landscape is its strength, it also provides challenges in planning for its future growth. The Council has worked to address these during the preparation of the Sefton Local Plan. The key challenge we have faced is how we best meet our economic and social needs whilst protecting our natural and built environment, much of which is nationally and internationally protected and is highly valued by residents and visitors. The Local Plan sets out how we will meet our future housing and employment needs to 2030. Sites have been identified through a thorough and rigorous process, with an emphasis on identifying sites within the urban area as far as possible. We have also sought to meet needs as close as possible to where they are arise, taking account of the many constraints that affect where development can take place. This approach was endorsed by the Inspector who examined the Local Plan. Some of the decisions we have had to make have not been easy and getting to this stage has been long and sometimes contentious. However, the Council believes the Local Plan for Sefton provides a framework for the Borough to grow in a positive and balanced way so that everyone will have the opportunity to live a successful, active and valued life. I would like to thank the many thousands of residents who have taken time to make comments at various stage of the Local Plan process, Community Groups, Council officers, Organisations, fellow Councillors and others who have been involved in preparing the Local Plan. Councillor Daren Veidman, Cabinet Member: Planning and Building Control.

It provides a positive approach to planning for Sefton which combines the desire to be aspirational with a challenging national economic context. 1.2 The Local Plan sets out: How development will be provided in order to meet the needs of Sefton’s communities The policy framework for making decisions on planning applications The strategic policy framework for Neighbourhood Plans, and Priorities for investment in employment, housing and infrastructure, including site allocations. 1.3 The Local Plan has a start date of 2012 as this is the date of the latest population projections which must be taken into account in preparing the Plan. KEY INFLUENCES ON THE LOCAL PLAN 1.4 The key elements which have influenced the shape of the Local Plan are: The National Planning Policy Framework (‘the NPPF’), especially its emphasis on: The need to boost significantly the supply of housing Facilitating sustainable development. The NPPF notes that “Sustainable development is about positive growth – making economic, environmental and social progress” (Ministerial Foreword), and has at its heart “a presumption in favour of sustainable development, which should be seen as a golden thread running through both plan-making and decision- taking” (paragraph 14). Sefton’s role within the sub-region: With the abolition of the Regional Spatial Strategy in May 2013, the main regional/ sub- regional influences on the Plan are Sefton’s role within the Liverpool City Region. The ‘Combined Authority’ has added a formal dimension to working in partnership and provides a strategic framework to bid for government funding for City Region-wide priorities. The Local Enterprise Partnership identifies ‘transformational actions’ which reflect the key economic aspirations for the City Region. ‘Nature Connected’ (the Local Nature Partnership) is a partnership focusing on a City Region-wide approach to environmental matters. Sefton’s role in these initiatives is covered later in this chapter: ‘Duty to Co-operate’. Evidence: The Local Plan takes account of a range of evidence and studies that have been undertaken either by Sefton or in partnership with the Liverpool City Region authorities. Many of these documents can be viewed online at www.sefton.gov.uk/planningstudies. The Local Plan is supported by a Sustainability Appraisal Report (including a Strategic Environmental Assessment). The Report includes a detailed assessment of options considered and how each policy has been assessed against a range of social, economic and environmental criteria. The Local Plan also incorporates the findings of the Habitats Regulations Assessment which is required under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 as amended. 1 SEFTON LOCAL PLAN CHAPTER ONE - INTRODUCTION AND DUTY TO CO-OPERATE Early consultation: There has been extensive consultation with a wide range of partners, organisations and the wider community The comments received have helped to shape the content of the Plan although these must be considered in the context of what the Government requires local authorities to do through the NPPF. PREPARING A LOCAL PLAN FOR SEFTON 1.5 The Local Plan has been prepared over a number of years. The key stages are as follows: Issues stage - 2009: o consultation on a range of issues facing Sefton o the possible need to use Green Belt land to meet housing needs was not considered at that stage, as this was before the regional layer of Government was abolished – at that time it was expected the Green Belt would be reviewed at a sub-regional level before a Plan was prepared for Sefton Options stage - 2011: o three options consulted on – ‘urban containment’ / ‘meeting identified needs’ / ‘optimistic household growth’ Preferred Option stage – 2013: based on the strategy of meeting identified needs Publication Draft Plan – 2015: this is closely based on meeting identified needs, adjusted to take account of the then latest (2012-based) population projections.

Introduction 1.1 This Community Engagement Plan has been produced to support the emerging Southport Town Investment Plan. Its purpose is to outline the key engagement activities that have been undertaken to date with stakeholders, including elected members and representatives of the local community, and to detail the planned engagement and consultation prior to finalisation of the Southport Town Investment Plan. 1.2 This document is structured to provide: • An introduction to Town Deals and Town Investment Plans • Details of the engagement activities carried out to date and the proposed Engagement Plan and Programme • The proposed next steps 1.3 This Community Engagement Plan has been informed by information set out in the ‘Towns Fund Prospectus’ published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) in November 2019. The Prospectus is included as Appendix 1 to this document. 1.4 The Community Engagement Plan has been produced by Turley on behalf of Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council (SMBC). It will be published by SMBC to ensure transparency over the engagement process to inform preparation of the Southport Town Investment Plan. 1 2. Town Deals 2.1 In November 2019 the Local Government Secretary invited 101 towns, including Southport, to develop proposals for a Town Deal with the Government, each one potentially receiving up to £25 million investment from the national £3.6 billion Towns Fund. 2.2 While Government has entered into a number of ‘City Deals’ to stimulate growth in large urban areas, smaller towns have been overlooked by that process and not always benefitted from economic growth even where located in close proximity to more prosperous areas.

This report contains our final proposals for the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley's boundaries with the City of Liverpool, the Metropolitan Borough of St Helens, the District of West Lancashire in Lancashire, the Borough of Halton in Cheshire and part of its boundary with the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton. Our recommendations in respect of the review of the Borough of Sefton are contained in Report No. 664. We shall be reporting on the City of Liverpool's boundary with Sefton and Wirral separately. 2. Although during the course of the review we considered the possibility of radical changes to Knowsley, including its abolition, our final proposals involve major change only in relation to the Parish of Simonswood which we are proposing should be transferred to Lancashire. The remainder of our final proposals involve minor changes to Knowsley's boundaries to remove anomalies and defacements. 3. As required by Section 60(2) of the Local Government Act 1972, we have carefully considered all the representations made to us at each stage of the review.

It has developed out of a well-established and successful Management Scheme and, since its inception, attempted with varying success to develop a ‘working partnership’ which has sustainable management at its heart and which is responsible for conservation and the needs of the local community. The history, function and structure of the SCP are described together with the problems that emerged as the partnership developed. Keywords: ICZM, partnership, sustainable management, Sefton. 1 Introduction The coastal zone is hugely significant in terms of sustainable management since this is where human activities affect and are inseparable from marine and terrestrial processes and environments both in developed countries and the Third World. Integrated management therefore requires a holistic, geographic approach and, in order to be successful, action at the local and regional level which is supported by the national government. This paper introduces the Sefton Coast Partnership as an example of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) in WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, Vol 84, © 2005 WIT Press www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3541 (on-line) 476 Sustainable Development and Planning II, Vol.

  • Former Philips Factory Balmoral Drive / Rufford Road Southport PDF 180 KB
    Report to: PLANNING COMMITTEE Date of Meeting: 6th June 2018 Subject: DC/2017/01325 Former Philips Factory Balmoral Drive / Rufford Road Southport Proposal: Outline planning application for demolition of existing buildings and construction of approximately 147 new dwellings, roads and open space Applicant: Catalyst Capital LLP Agent: Mr Trevor Adey Savills Ward: Meols Ward Summary This application, as amended, seeks outline approval for the erection of approximately147 dwellings following the demolition of existing buildings. Only the principle of the development and access to the site are to be considered at this stage. As this is an allocated housing site within the Local Plan and the indicative layout demonstrates that approximately 147 units can be accommodated and provides sufficient amenity and housing mix, the principle of development can be supported. The provisions of ‘Vacant Building Credit’ means that no housing which meets affordable housing needs can be provided as part of the scheme. However, a contribution is being made towards the provision of education facilities. Heritage and ecology matters have been addressed satisfactorily. It has been demonstrated that the proposal can be accessed safely and will have less impact upon highway capacity than the existing lawful use of the site. It is recommended that the development be approved subject to a section 106 legal agreement and to conditions. Recommendation: Approval subject to S 106 Agreement and Conditions Case Officer Steve Matthews Email [email protected] Telephone 0345 140 0845 (option 4) Application documents and plans are available at: http://pa.sefton.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=OTCF66NWIJF00 Site Location Plan The Site The site subject to this application was designated as a primarily industrial area in the now replaced Unitary Development Plan and has historically provided accommodation and areas for business and general industry, including occupiers such as Philips.
