Welsh Language Wrexham Local Development Plan 2013 - 2028 TOPIC PAPER 11 - FEBRUARY 2016 Welsh Language housing open space employment community transport education www.wrexham.gov.uk / www.wrecsam.gov.uk Welsh Language Topic Paper 1 Introduction This document is one of a series of Topic Papers that has been produced in support of the Local Development Plan Preferred Strategy. The purpose of each paper is to provide supporting evidence to underpin the preparation of Wrexham County Borough Local Development Plan (LDP). Each Topic Paper demonstrates how it links into the LDP vision and relevant objectives, provides an analysis of particular issues that the subject area needs to respond to, including the national policy context, a review of local policy, current circumstances and trends, and finally highlights the implications for the Preferred Strategy and Deposit Plan going forward. There will inevitably be a degree of overlap between some topics and issues, where there are links to other papers this will be highlighted accordingly. All the papers can be viewed on the Council website at www.wrexham.gov.uk/ldp. 2 Context and Characteristics The future wellbeing locally of the Welsh language and its contribution to Welsh cultural heritage is dependent on a variety of key factors such as education, demographic change and community activities as well as economic prosperity. The planning system can take account of the needs and interests of the Welsh language and its wellbeing by preventing development that could have a significantly harmful affect. New development can have both beneficial and harmful effects on the Welsh language. Beneficial effects can occur when development encourages Welsh speakers to remain in their communities, for example affordable housing for local need in a primarily Welsh speaking area, or when it supports the viability of village facilities, such as the school. Providing employment opportunities can help retain Welsh speakers in the area and prevent them from migrating out of Wales. Harmful effects can occur when a disproportionate number of non-Welsh speakers move into a community, when essential services or facilities needed to sustain communities and the Welsh language are lost or there are few employment opportunities. These can often have cumulative effects, for example, by reducing the use of the Welsh language among Welsh speakers. Nationally 19% of the population of Wales can speak Welsh but within the County Borough, this figure is 12.6%1, the main focus for Welsh speaking is broadly within the Ceiriog valley and the Western hill villages (Coedpoeth, Minera, Penycae and Rhosllanerchrugog) with the Welsh speaking population ranging from 18.3% to 47%. Welsh culture transcends language and encompasses national identity, sense of place and community, place names, sport, the arts and history. Locally there is a strong Welsh identity with a population that largely considers themselves to be Welsh2, Wrexham hosted the National Eisteddfod of Wales in 2011, is home to Glyndwr University and the Racecourse Football Ground (host for international football and rugby matches) and the Stiwt cultural centre is in 1 Census 2011 2 Census 2011 National Identity Page 1 of 18 Rhosllanerchrugog. Local landscape assets include the Ceiriog valley, Ruabon Mountain and AONB contribute to the sense of culture and identity. Former coal mining villages retain a link to the historic past, evidence of the past industrial heritage such as coal spoil tips provide a strong visual clue to local identity. Heritage features such as Wrexham Parish Church, Llay Miners Institute, Offa’s and Watts Dyke also contribute to local culture and identity. These cultural assets are mutually supportive of the Welsh language, they can help create a sense of identity and pride and they can support opportunities to speak and promote the language. Page 2 of 18 3 National Policy Context and Supporting Evidence Base The following section summarises the relevant national and local policy context which needs to be considered and taken account of when formulating the preferred strategy and subsequent deposit LDP. National Policy will not be repeated in the LDP, however the key themes to emerge from national policy will be addressed, and issues specific to the County Borough will be dealt with via locally specific policy if required. Sustainability Appraisal Topic Paper 3: Community Wellbeing & Cohesion summarises the key points from national and international policy and guidance relevant to this paper, the key documents are listed below: Primary Legislation Town and County Planning Act (1990); the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act, 2004 – introduced the Local Development Plan system in Wales, a statutory duty requiring the Welsh Government to prepare the Wales Spatial Plan and various reforms to development management provisions in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990; Planning (Wales) Act 2015; Wellbeing of Future Generation (Wales) Act (2015); and Town and Country Planning Act (1990) Primary legislation sets out the law to manage and regulate development of land and establishes Local Development Plans as the statutory development plan for the local area. LDP’s should provide a firm basis for the rational and consistent decisions on planning applications and appeals with planning decisions made in accordance with the plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The LDP should set out a clear vision for the area and have regard to the Wales Spatial Plan. Planning (Wales) Act 2015 The Planning (Wales) Act introduces, for the first time, legislative provision for the Welsh language in the planning system. Taken together, Sections 11 and 31 ensure that the Welsh language is given consistent and appropriate consideration in both the preparation of development plans, and the making of planning decisions. Section 11 of the Planning (Wales) Act 2015 makes it mandatory for all local planning authorities to consider the effect of their Local Development Plans on the Welsh language, by undertaking an appropriate assessment as part of the Sustainability Appraisal of the plan. It also requires local planning authorities to keep evidence relating to the use of the Welsh language in the area up-to- date. Wellbeing of Future Generation (Wales) Act (2015) The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Bill was introduced into the National Assembly for Wales on 7 July 2014. The overall purpose of the Bill is to ensure that the governance arrangements of public bodies for improving the well-being of Wales take the needs of future generations into account. The protection of the Welsh language is intrinsically linked with purposes of the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act through the following Wellbeing goal; Page 3 of 18 A Wales of vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language: A society that promotes and protects culture, heritage and the Welsh language, and which encourages people to participate in the arts, and sports and recreation. National Policy & Statutory Guidance Planning Policy Wales Ed. 8 – Chapter 4 (2016) People, Places, Futures – The Wales Spatial Plan (2008 Update) Technical Advice Note 20: Planning and the Welsh Language (Oct 2013) Technical Advice Note 20: Planning and the Welsh Language (Consultation Jan-March 2016) Planning Policy Wales sets out the land use planning policies of the Welsh Government and is supplemented by Technical Advice Notes. National policy and the TAN’s should be taken into account in the preparation of LDP’s and they may be material considerations in the determination of planning applications. Planning Policy Wales edition 8 (Jan 2016) Local planning authorities must consider the likely effects of their development plans on the use of the Welsh language in the Sustainability Appraisal of their plans, and should keep their evidence up to date. All local planning authorities should include in the reasoned justifications to their development plans a statement on how they have taken the needs and interests of the Welsh language into account in plan preparation, and how any policies relating to the Welsh language interact with other plan policies. It should be the aim of local planning authorities to provide for the broad distribution and phasing of housing development taking into account the ability of different areas and communities to accommodate the development without eroding the position of the Welsh language. Where possible, the planning system should seek to create conditions which are conducive to the use of the Welsh language. Appropriate development plan policies about the broad scale, location and phasing of new development could assist in achieving this aim. Policies relating to affordable housing could also be of benefit. However, policies must not introduce any element of discrimination between individuals on the basis of their linguistic ability, and should not seek to control housing occupancy on linguistic grounds. Considerations relating to the use of the Welsh language may be taken into account by decision makers so far as they are material to applications for planning permission. If required, language impact assessments may only be carried out in respect of major development not allocated in, or anticipated by, a development plan proposed in areas of particular sensitivity or importance for the language. Any such areas should be defined clearly in the development plan. Technical Advice Note 20; Planning and the Welsh Language Provides guidance on how the planning system considers the implications

  • Wrexham Unitary Development Plan
    Wrexham Unitary Development Plan Monitoring Report 2004-5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the third Unitary Development Plan Monitoring Report produced by Wrexham County Borough Council, in accordance with the requirements of the Welsh Assembly Government. It covers the year 2004-5 and also looks at the general context and long term trends. Among the key findings of the report are: The Wrexham Unitary Development Plan: the Wrexham UDP, which sets out policies and proposals for the development and use of land in the County Borough up to 2011, was adopted on 14th February 2005. Housing: there were 395 housing completions in 2004-5, slightly below the average since 1996 of 420. The UDP policy figure is 385 dwellings per annum. The County Borough had a housing land supply in 2004 of 7.10 years, well above the minimum of 5 years required by Planning Policy Wales. Employment: the take up of employment land in 2004-5 was 7.1 hectares, compared with the average since 1996 of 6.9 hectares per annum, and the UDP policy figure of 20 hectares per annum. Shopping: Details of the non food retail warehousing scheme on the former Carlsberg Tetley site were approved by the Council in 2004, and the development is now under construction. A major retail development at the Eagles Meadow site in Wrexham was granted planning permission in July 2005. Wrexham is ranked as the third most important shopping centre in Wales, and 101st in the UK. Transport: Construction of the Wrexham Industrial Estate access road was delayed by the decision of the Welsh Assembly Government not to approve the necessary Compulsory Purchase Orders.

  • Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog
    Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust Historic Settlement Survey – Wrexham County Borough Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog 1059621 SJ 2888 3769 Introduction Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog has grown up on the southern lip of the flood plain of Afon Ceiriog as the fast-flowing river drops down off the Berwyn mountain range, at a place where a tributary, Nant y Glog, converges from the south. The church occupies a slightly higher spine of rock which protrudes from the lowest slopes of Pen y Glog towards the river. A number of lanes meet here and the B4500 terminates in the village, some 14km to the west of Oswestry. Though modern housing is now spreading in ribbon fashion southwards up the valley of Nant y Glog, the village core remains compact. This brief report examines the background to Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog up to the years around 1750. For a fuller explanation of the more recent history of the settlement, it may be necessary to examine other sources of information and particularly for the origins and nature of some of the buildings within it. The accompanying map is offered solely as an indicative guide to the historic settlement. The continuous line defining the historic core offers a visual interpretation of the area within which the settlement developed, based on our interpretation of the evidence currently to hand. It is not an immutable boundary line, and may need to be modified as new discoveries are made. The map does not show those areas or buildings that are statutorily designated, nor does it pick out those sites or features that are specifically mentioned in the text.

  • Landscape Technote
    WREXHAM POWER LIMITED LANDSCAPE AND VISUAL EFFECTS Wrexham Power Limited Proposed Wrexham Energy Centre Landscape and visual effects 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. The proposed power station development and associated gas and electricity grid connections will include features that might be visible in the local landscape. Wrexham Power Limited’s application to the Planning Inspectorate for a Development Consent Order will be supported by an environmental impact assessment (EIA) that will consider landscape and visual effects. These effects will be reduced where practicable through the sympathetic design and landscape treatment of the power station and the careful location of infrastructure in the route corridors. 1.2. This technical note is to support preliminary consultation on the power station proposals. It provides an overview of the landscape and visual aspects of the proposed power station site and the grid connection corridors, and explains how these will be considered in detail as the proposals are developed. 2. SITE SETTING 2.1. The potential site for the power station development is off Bryn Lane on the eastern edge of the Wrexham Industrial Estate. Wrexham Industrial Estate is located approximately 2km to the east of the urban edge of the town of Wrexham. The site is within an area of transition from an urban to a rural setting. Beyond the industrial estate to the north, east and south, the landscape is predominantly rural and influenced by the low lying floodplain and river terraces associated with the River Dee and its tributaries. 2.2. The potential route corridors for the connections to the electricity and gas networks leave the site and pass around the eastern and southern edges of the industrial estate, crossing the River Clywedog.
