Doncaster Local Development Framework Assessing Minerals Areas of Search – Stage Two Evaluation

Allocations Development Plan Document: Evidence Base

(Date: October 2012)

0 Assessing Areas of Search Detailed Evaluation Criteria (Part Two)

Part 2: Detailed evaluation of the areas identified in the initial screening under Part 1. Part 2 of the methodology provides a detailed, consistent and comparable appraisal of the areas which have passed through from the Part 1 identification and initial screening process. The aim of this part of the assessment process is to facilitate identification of the most suitable locations for minerals-related development through detailed appraisal, taking into account any identified future requirements as set out within the Core Strategy. This is based around the councils adopted sustainability appraisal criteria, national and local policy guidance.

Stage 2a: Identification of relevant features and designations This stage will identify the main attributes of land in terms of physical and environmental features and designations. A range of relevant decision making criteria relating to the features and designations will be used to assess the areas in more detail. National and local policy and guidance have been used to identify relevant themes/constraints. The range is not intended to be exhaustive, rather it seeks to identify those factors that will enable meaningful comparison of site suitability, sensitivity and potential impacts, bearing in mind that the purpose of identifying areas is to establish ‘in principle’ suitability. A more detailed assessment will take place through the development management process as and when any specific planning applications are submitted. The information included within this broad scoping process is based on sustainability appraisal objectives adopted by the council. In addition to the constraints identified, each area is likely to require the consideration of unique local factors which could affect its designation within the Sites and Policies DPD.

Stage 2b: Mapping and Identification of Additional Features This stage will use a Geographical Information System to identify further features and designations within the areas of search along with the those identified at stage 1. At this stage the methodology will: • Identify local/non statutory features and designations within an Areas of Search; and international/national statutory designations within an Areas of Search • Identify Airport Consultation Zone • Identify Nightjar Foraging Habitat • Identify Local Wildlife and Geological Sites • Identify Listed Buildings • Identify Scheduled Monuments • Identify Parks and Gardens of Special Interest • Identify Parks and Gardens of Local Historic Interest • Identify Conservation Areas

It is important to note any potential interaction between an Area of Search and features/designations will depend significantly on the type and scale of minerals proposal, and would need to be assessed in detail at the planning application stage.

A results table and map of each Areas of Search will be produced as a visual representation of the features and designations identified around each Area of Search. This will be used and expanded upon at Stage 2c of the methodology.

Stage 2c Assessment of Potentially Suitable Areas of Search The purpose of this stage is to assess the potential Areas of Search identified throughout the methodology through the application a range of expert knowledge and local understanding. In addition to the constraints identified in stages 2a & b (above), each area is likely to require the consideration of unique local factors which could affect its designation within the Sites and Policies DPD. Therefore, in addition to the features, designations and associated questions identified through the desk top assessment, specific details relating to local or technical knowledge of the area will also be recorded.

1 A working group of relevant officers will discuss all Areas of Search included at this stage. The working group will draw on expert knowledge and provide a balanced view on applicable considerations. Record of discussions, meetings and emails will be used to inform the inclusion of an area as an ‘Areas of Search’. The process will include consideration of the factors identified as being relevant to each potential Areas of Search such as: • Employment proposals and allocations • Housing proposals and allocations • The main potential adverse impacts resultant from site development; • Any opportunities that may arise as a result of the development (e.g. through contribution to delivery of green infrastructure through the site restoration process), and; • Potential mitigation measures that could be applied. • Landscape Character Capacity Study

Representatives on the working group will include (as appropriate): • Natural Environment (Ecology, Biodiversity, Geodiversity / Geology) • Built Environment (Historic and Cultural Environment) • Development Management • Economy, Housing and Employment • Strategic Transport Unit • Regeneration • Pollution control

Please note all sand and gravel areas of search are within the 13 km Airport consultation Zone and Issues of bird strike would be raised by the airport operator and require mitigation.

Development Management Issues Impact on local amenity Summary The one borehole (NW 59) in the assessment area shows 2.0m of clayey (fine to coarse) sandy gravel . The borehole assessment also identifies 2m of clayey sand and gravel, and sand with scattered pebbles within the Sherwood Sandstone bedrock. There are also potential impacts on local amenity and infrastructure. The council is not proposing to allocate the housing sites identified in this assessment area, so the mineral will be available for safeguarding beyond the plan period.

The council is not proposing to allocate the housing sites identified in this assessment area. There are limited impacts on the natural and built environment but potential impacts on local amenity due to traffic routing and possibly dust effects.

Area to be included as an potential Areas of Search within the emerging Sites and Proposals Development Plan Document (Consultation Version):

Smaller pockets of land within this assessment area maybe suitable for minerals development. An amendment of the boundary excluding the farmstead and the large areas of woodland and the areas of very clayey material maybe a more acceptable search area. This is also where the existing borehole information is located

Housing Proposals None Employment Proposals Approximately ¼ of the area adjacent the airport will be retained for employment. The area has been identified as suitable for air related industrial development.

Transport Proposals The Strategic Transport Unit have stated that any development proposals may be subject to retrospective contributions to FARRRS. Natural Environment (Local Biodiversity, Ecology, Geodiversity) Hurst Plantation, Savage Brook and Marr Flatts Wood (Site ref. 4.32) and Hurst Wood (site ref. 4.31b) Local Wildlife Sites are located on the boundary.

There are no housing proposals within the area and a reduced size employment site will be allocated for employment during the plan period. The assessment area would be available for safeguarding beyond the plan period if not allocated as an area of search

Area to be included as an potential Areas of Search within the emerging Sites and Proposals Development Plan Document (Consultation Version):

It is not proposed to bring forward this area as an area of search. Reasons: Borehole data, proximity to airport, small area to be allocated for airport related employment opportunities and incompatible development.
