Buckinghamshire County Council – Authority’s Monitoring Report 2011/12

1. Purpose and Context of the Authority’s Monitoring Report

1.1.This is the first monitoring report published by Buckinghamshire County Council following changes to planning legislation made by the publication of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the Localism Act 2011. As such, this document differs from previous Annual Monitoring Reports; it is now referred to as the Authority’s Monitoring Report and covers a wider range of issues. The Localism Act removes the need for the report to be submitted to the Secretary of State, yet the purpose of the report remains broadly the same. The Authority’s Monitoring Report (AMR) seeks to monitor the effectiveness of the Council’s planning policy.

1.2.The AMR seeks to fulfil the requirements of The Planning and Compulsory
Purchase Act 2004 and the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 by providing the following information in relation to the Minerals and Waste Local Development Framework:

 The title of the plans or supplementary planning documents specified in the
Local Development Scheme (LDS), the timetable for the preparation of these documents, and the stage that each of these documents has reached in its preparation.

 A statement of adoption and the date of adoption of any local plan or supplementary planning document included in the LDS that has been adopted or approved during the monitoring period.

 The extent to which policies set out in the local development documents are being achieved, the identification of any policies not being implemented and a statement of reasons as to why, and any steps that the Council intends to take to secure the implementation of these policies.

 Any actions that have taken place during the monitoring period under section

33A of the Localism Act 2011, which relates to the new ‘duty to co-operate’.

1.3.It is important to note that this report is made in an evolving local policy context.
The monitoring period covered by this AMR runs from 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012, at which time the development plan for minerals and waste development in Buckinghamshire comprised of the Buckinghamshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan 2004-2016. However, on 22nd November 2012, the Council adopted the Buckinghamshire Minerals and Waste Core Strategy which will form part of the Buckinghamshire Minerals and Waste Local Development Framework (see below). This replaces some of the existing policies in the Buckinghamshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan 2004-2016.

1.4.The Minerals and Waste Core Strategy contains a number of key indicators which form part of the Council’s strategic ‘plan, monitor and manage’ approach to ensure that the Minerals and Waste Core Strategy is able to respond effectively to change. Policy such as the MWCS enables planning applications for minerals and waste to be determined by the Council in accordance with local priorities and section 70 of the Town and Country Planning Act. Monitoring against key indicators will help to identify the extent to which policies set out in the Minerals and Waste Core Strategy (and in future, the policies set out in the Minerals and Waste Local Plans), are being used effectively, and will be included in future AMRs.

Buckinghamshire County Council – Authority’s Monitoring Report 2011/12

1.5.Although the Minerals and Waste Core Strategy was not adopted until after the
2011/12 monitoring period covered by this AMR, and therefore data had not been gathered specifically in relation to the Minerals and Waste Core Strategy indicators, this AMR still seeks to make reference to these indicators where appropriate and possible. Where data relating to the Core Strategy indicators was found to be readily available for the 2011/12 monitoring period, this data has been included and published in this AMR.

1.6.The 2011/12 AMR therefore provides a commentary of this period of transition.
This AMR also identifies areas where additional information will need to be collected and analysed in future years for inclusion in subsequent AMRs in order to successfully monitor the implementation of new and emerging policies. A full list of Core Strategy Indicators is included in Appendix 1.

2. Progress Report on Local Plans

Minerals and Waste Local Development Framework

2.1.The Development Plan against which planning applications for minerals and waste development in Buckinghamshire are assessed consists of saved policies in the Buckinghamshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan 2004-2016 and the Buckinghamshire Minerals and Waste Local Development Framework. The Minerals and Waste Local Development Framework will eventually replace all of the saved policies in the Buckinghamshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan 2004- 2016.

2.2.The Minerals and Waste Local Development Framework is a suite of documents as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1:   The Minerals and Waste Local Development Framework

2.3.The Local Development Scheme (LDS) sets out the Council’s programme for

preparing the constituent parts of the MWLDF. A revised LDS was published in August 2012, which set out the work programme for the next three years as follows:

Minerals and Waste Core Strategy (MWCS) – setting out the Council’s strategic

policy framework for mineral extraction and waste management in Buckinghamshire to 2026, and including the allocation of the sites most critical to delivering the Council’s waste strategy. Following consultation on the draft Core Strategy in September 2011, submission to an independent planning inspector in November 2011 and subsequent hearings in February 2012, the MWCS was scheduled for adoption in November in 2012 and was formally adopted by the County Council on 22nd November 2012. A copy of the Adoption Statement is included in Appendix 2.

5

Buckinghamshire County Council – Authority’s Monitoring Report 2011/12

Minerals Local Plan (MLP) – will identify Preferred Areas for mineral extraction to take place, and contain detailed Development Management Policies to guide the determination of planning applications for mineral extraction and associated development within the county. Preparation is due to commence in 2013, with adoption timetabled for December 2014.

Waste Local Plan (WLP) – will contain site allocations for certain waste management facilities and provide the detailed Development Management Policies to guide the determination of planning applications for waste management and associated development within the county. Preparation is currently due to commence in 2014 with adoption timetabled for February 2016.

2.4.Also included in the Minerals and Waste Local Development Framework is the

Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) adopted in 2007, which sets out the

Council’s standards and approach to involving the wider community in Buckinghamshire in the production of the Minerals and Waste Local Development Framework and in the consideration of major minerals and waste planning applications. Since the SCI was adopted in 2007, a number of changes to the guidance and requirements around consultation have been made, including the introduction of the Planning Act 2008, the Localism Act 2011 and the publication of the Local Planning Regulations (2012). In light of these changes, the County Council intends to review and update the existing SCI with input from the relevant Cabinet Members. This review will be included in the forthcoming revision to the Council’s Local Development Scheme.

2.5.Figure 2 below shows the actual progress of developing the MWCS against the key milestones set out in the both the June 2011 LDS and the revised August 2012 LDS. This shows that the majority of key milestones set out in the June 2011 LDS for the progression of the MWCS were met at their target dates. Exceptions to this occur post Examination and can be attributed to the need to consult on a number of Proposed Changes as a result of discussions which took place at the hearing sessions. This consultation took place between May and June 2012 and was accounted for in the revised LDS published in August 2012.

the Council proposed a number of changes necessary to ensure the soundness of the plan, requiring further consultation to be carried out and resulting in a delay to the programme outlined in the 2011 LDS.

2.6.The preparation of the MLP is now commencing. The current timetable for progression of both the MLP and WLP is set out in the August 2012 LDS, which has been reproduced and included as Appendix 3 of the AMR. However, the Council is currently reviewing its programme for the production of the MLP and WLP in light of recent legislative changes and internal resource demands, and therefore intends to publish a revised LDS in 2013. This revised timetable will also make reference to the Council’s intention to review its existing SCI.

Duty to Cooperate

2.7.The Localism Act 2011 introduced the ‘duty to cooperate’ which requires Local

Authorities to actively engage throughout the plan making process (although not necessarily agree) with certain bodies and organisations prescribed in the Act and in the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012.This obligation applies to all plans submitted to the Secretary of State after 15th November 2011. As the Minerals and Waste Core Strategy was prepared prior to this, the duty to cooperate was deemed not to have been applicable to its preparation.

2.8.The MWCS was prepared in full compliance with the Council’s adopted SCI and also exceeded the minimum consultation requirements set out in the previous local planning regulations. This included carrying out extensive consultation with statutory and non-statutory consultees, including local and neighbouring authorities. The consultation on the Minerals and Waste Core Strategy Submission Plan took place from 5th September to 21st November 2011 and included the Environment Agency, English Heritage, Natural England, the Secretary of State for Transport, the Homes and Communities Agency, the Coal Authority, the Health and Police Authorities, District and Town/Parish Councils both within the County

and adjoining it, neighbouring County Councils, utilities, interest and amenity groups, education establishments, voluntary organisations, the minerals and waste industry. Other business interests, planning consultancies, land agents and individuals, generating a total of 381 representations.

2.9.A full list of the consultation methods, consultation bodies, and the Council’s response to the representations made were included in the Consultation Statement submitted to the Planning Inspector prior to the hearing sessions. The Consultation Statement is available through the Minerals and Waste Core Strategy Examination Library, referenced as document numbers CS 1.7 and CS 1.8. The Examination Library contains all documents submitted by both the Council and other interested parties during the examination hearing sessions and can be viewed on the Buckinghamshire County Council Website using the following link:

http://www.buckscc.gov.uk/bcc/waste_mineral_plans/mwcs_library.page.

2.10.

During the preparation of forthcoming plans, the Council will engage with other authorities in accordance with the requirements of the Localism Act 2011. In addition, the Council attends regular meetings with the South East England Aggregates Working Party (SEEAWP). This is a body of local mineral planning authorities and representatives of the minerals industry. The Council’s forthcoming annual Local Aggregate Assessment will be submitted to SEEAWP for consideration in order to ensure that the annual supply requirement for Buckinghamshire is compatible with local and regional demand.

2.11.

The Council similarly also attends regular SEWPAG (South East Waste
Planning Advisory Group) meetings, which help to ensure that strategic waste planning issues are dealt with consummate regard to the duty to cooperate.
