INTRODUCTION

This is Council’s eighth Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) and the first since the adoption of the Core Strategy and Policies for Management of Development, Development Plan Document (DPD) in December 2012.

The AMR is required to be produced under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and covers the period 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012. Section 35 of the 2004 Act requires every Local Planning Authority to make an annual report to the Secretary of State containing information on the implementation of the Local Development Framework (LDF). The Act requires this AMR to set out information about progress on the Local Development Scheme (LDS) and the extent to which the policies set out in Local Development Documents (LDD) are being achieved.

The key monitoring tasks the AMR report should undertake are set out in Regulation 34 of The Town and Country Planning (Local Development) () Regulations 2012.

SCOPE AND STRUCTURE OF THE ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT (AMR)

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was published on the 27 March 2012. This replaced the majority of the Planning Policy Statements (PPSs) with twelve core planning principles. These changes were designed to simplify processes and procedures and to emphasise the importance of local decision making. They also place a stronger emphasis on the role of the planning system in fostering economic growth but still having regard to social and environmental factors.

Formal guidance on AMRs was withdrawn in March 2011 and Councils now have much greater freedom to decide what to include in their monitoring reports while ensuring that they are prepared in accordance with relevant UK and EU legislation.

The monitoring data contained within this report is broken down into four sections;

1. An overview of the progress in implementing the Local Development Framework. This includes programmed timeframes and targets set out in the LDS.

2. The Thurrock Context. Contextual indicators establish the social, environmental and economic circumstances of the Borough.

3. An analysis of policy performance and effects utilising Core Output Indicators. The quantifiable physical activities that are directly related to the implementation of planning policies are measured using the national LDF Core Output Indicators. While these indicators were withdrawn by DCLG in March 2011, they remain in use for the Council’s monitoring purposes.

4. An analysis of policy performance and effects utilising Local Output Indicators that are tailored to particular local circumstances as well as the achievement of sustainable development objectives utilising Significant Effects Indicators.

All of the above Indicators types are listed in Chapter 7 of the Adopted Core Strategy. In the sections that follow, any relevant LDF policies are listed under the relevant indicator.

Thurrock Council Annual Monitoring Report 2012 1

Where relevant, the indicators refer to policies in the Local Development Documents (LDD) and to saved policies from the Thurrock Borough Local Plan 1997.

The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 provides for the saving of policies in adopted Local Plans for a period of 3 years from commencement date of the Act. The Act commenced on the 28 th September 2004. Policies in the Thurrock adopted Local Plan (1997) therefore expired on the 27 th September 2007. The Secretary of State made a direction to save policies beyond the three-year period; the saved policies from the Thurrock Borough Local Plan and the County Council First Review Minerals Local Plan are outlined in Appendix 1 of this Report.

INFORMATION SOURCES

A number of sources were used for collecting the contextual and monitoring data. They include technical evidence produced by the Thurrock Strategic Planning Department to underpin the LDF. This includes the Thurrock Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) as well as various other studies that are being produced alongside the LDF.

Other information includes the “Thurrock Local Transport Plan”, produced by the Strategic Planning Transportation Department. Corporate documents, produced by the Council’s Corporate Performance Team, include the Corporate ‘Scorecard’ Indicators.

Thurrock is located on the north of the Thames, twenty miles east of central London and has a population of 158,300 (ONS Mid-Year Population Estimates 2011). The Borough covers 165 sq km and has a diverse range of land uses and associated environmental issues. More than half of the land in Thurrock is designated Green Belt and the Borough has over 18 miles of riverfront.

Much of the riverside area of Thurrock is highly urbanised with a mixture of industrial and residential development at the west and eastern ends of the Borough. The Borough has a number of main settlements including Grays, Stanford/Corringham, and , together with a number of villages in the Green Belt. Thurrock also has the developing community of and the Lakeside Regional Shopping Centre located west of Grays and east of the M25.

Thurrock has a diverse and thriving economy with logistics and distribution and retailing as major employment sectors. The construction of a major port and employment development at the former Shell Haven refinery site is now underway.

Thurrock benefits from a good location in terms of transport. The M25 London Orbital Motorway passes through the Borough, as does the A13 London to Southend trunk road, which connects with the M25 (Junction 30) just north of the Dartford Tunnel (Junction 31) and the Queen Elizabeth Bridge. The Channel Tunnel Rail link also passes through the Borough and the C2C Railway links London (Fenchurch Street) to Southend, with seven stations in the Borough. The existing Port of Tilbury provides international connections for both passengers and freight.

Thurrock has more than 70% of its land in the Green Belt. Some of the Green Belt throughout Thurrock is also of considerable nature conservation and landscape value. The Borough has sites of international and national importance for nature conservation including a Ramsar site and 12 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). There are 7 Conservation Areas and 241 Listed Buildings.

CORE OUTPUT INDICATORS

The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) national set of LDF “core output indicators” are used to monitor how successfully planning policies are being implemented. While these indicators were withdrawn by DCLG in March 2011, they remain in use for the Council’s monitoring purposes and were included in LDF Core Strategy Adopted in December 2011.

The Core Indicators are listed under the following headings:

• Business development and town centres • Minerals • Housing • Waste • Environmental quality

In this section, the saved policies relating to each indicator are listed along with policies from the Adopted LDF Core Strategy as well as the Issues Options stage of the Site DPD. Many saved policies do not have a specifically measurable component and do not necessarily relate well to the indicators. Time-series data is shown where this is available in order to provide an indication of whether a situation is improving or getting worse. Where data is not available, or is not complete, this is stated.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND TOWN CENTRES

Indicator BD1: Total amount of additional employment floorspace – by type.

Relevant Policies: Local Plan Saved Policy E1 - Development within Primary Industrial and Commercial Areas E2 - Land for New Industrial and Commercial Development in Primary Areas E3 - Development within Secondary Industrial and Commercial Areas E4 - Land for New Industrial and Commercial Development in Secondary Areas LDF Core Strategy Policy CSSP2 - Sustainable Employment Growth CSTP6 - Strategic Employment Provision LDF Site DPD Policy SAP4 – Industrial and Commercial Areas SAP5 – Land for Industrial and Commercial Development

There was a net loss of employment floorspace developed during 2011/12 of 2,802 square metres. This was owing to the fact that there were only two sites on which employment development was completed during the year and that one of these involved a net loss of warehousing floorspace.

The amount of land that was considered to be readily available, or which was available but subject to constraints (hectares) in April 2012 was 392.6 hectares. The amount of land available in 2012 showed an increase over the previous year because of changes in the sites allocated in the LDF. The sites that make up this total are listed under LDF Site DPD Policy SAP5 – Land for Industrial and Commercial Development.

HOUSING

H1: Plan period and housing targets

Relevant Policies: Local Plan Saved Policy H3 - Redevelopment of Non-Residential Land for Housing LDF Core Strategy Policy CSSP1 - Sustainable Housing and Locations CSTP1 - Strategic Housing Provision LDF Site DPD Policy SAP1 – Land for Housing Development

The Plan period and the overall housing targets are shown in the table below:

Start of Plan period End of Plan period Total housing Source of plan Required Target 01/04/2001 31/03/2026 23,250 (18,500 Adopted LDF Core 2001 to 2021 plus Strategy and RSS 4,750 to 2026 and beyond)

H2(a): Net additional dwellings – in previous years H2(b): Net additional dwellings – for the reporting year

Relevant Policies: as in H1above

There were 343 net additional dwellings during 2011/12. The total number of net additional dwellings since 2001 is 5,669. The annual figures are shown in the chart below:

The average number of dwellings provided per annum since 2001 is 515. This is below the annual average provision of 925 per annum 2001-2021 required to meet the LDF dwelling provision targets.

Thurrock Council Annual Monitoring Report 2012 19

H2(c): Net additional dwellings – in future years H2(d): Managed delivery target

Relevant Policies: as in H1above

The level of net additional housing expected to come forward in future years is shown in the Housing Trajectory chart and table shown on the following pages and in the tables shown in Appendix 2.

The chart shows: 1. Dwelling completions since 2001 2. Dwelling completions expected to come forward on deliverable sites in the first five years 3. Dwelling completions on developable sites up to and beyond the end of the current plan period in 2026.

Dwelling completions on developable sites up to and beyond the end of the current plan period in 2021

LDF Core Strategy Policy CSTP1 provides that the total number required to be built between 2001 and 2021 is 18,500 and up to a further 4,750 dwellings to meet provision to 2026 and beyond. The dwelling targets may be considered in terms of the two scenarios set out below:

A. The period to 2021. The total number of completions between 2001 and 2012 was 5,669. This leaves a residual of 12,831 still to be built between 2012 and 2021. The annual average rate of completions required to achieve this residual by 2021 would be 1,426.

B. The period to 2026. Taking into account the completions since 2001, leaves a residual of 17,581 still to be built between 2011 and 2026. The annual average rate of completions required to achieve this residual over the whole period to 2026 would be 1,256.

The Assessment of the supply of sites

The Council has adopted a Managed Delivery policy approach that essentially takes full account of current and projected market conditions, based on information from the local development and construction sector in respect of their estimates of future housing completions and phasing of development on their sites.

The main source of information for this assessment is the Thurrock SHLAA. Thurrock’s first SHLAA was published in March 2010. This established the potential for accommodating new housing in Thurrock over a 15-year period from a base date of December 2009. The position in the published SHLAA is being currently being updated.

The Five Year Supply of Sites for Housing

The five year supply of sites for housing is shown in detail in the table below.

A schedule of the sites that are considered to be deliverable within 5 years is shown in Appendix 2. The total supply of deliverable sites is estimated to be 4339. This represents an average supply of 868 per annum. This is lower than the RSS requirement of 950 per annum. The Council is also looking at a 20% buffer. This will be addressed in a Proposed Focused Core Strategy review.

Housing Supply to the end of the Plan period

The tables and charts on the following pages show the expected dwelling completions on deliverable sites in the next five years as well as the capacity of developable sites available to meet the housing targets to the end of the Plan period.

Beyond the first five years the Council has identified an estimated capacity for 8615 dwellings in 6 to 10 years (2018 onwards) and 4541 dwellings in 11 to 15 years (beyond the end of the Plan period). The Housing Trajectory illustrates the projected gradual recovery in the local housing market over the five years. The Trajectory assumes the sector will gradually recover to levels of completions commensurate with levels achieved at the height of the previous housing boom.

Although, the Housing Trajectory shows that there is unlikely to be a sufficient supply of deliverable sites to meet the RSS target by 2021, the Council have identified more than sufficient site capacity to meet the RSS target to 2021 as well as the target for the whole Plan period to 2026. Information about the sites that are available in the longer term will be detailed in the Site Specific Allocations and Policies Local Plan and the SHLAA Update.

H5: Gross affordable housing completions

Relevant Policies: Local Plan Saved Policy H5 - Affordable Housing LDF Core Strategy Policy CSTP2 - The Provision of Affordable Housing

In 2011/12, 28 affordable houses were completed on the following sites:

Schoolfield Road, Arisdale Industrial Estate (Factory 1 And 2 Blue Star Engineering Ltd), South Ockendon

The proportion of affordable housing in relation to the total number of dwelling completions on large sites is shown in the table below.

The low percentage of affordable housing during 2011/12 was partly owing to the fact that the affordable housing element of the development that took place on three housing sites was not counted during this year: • development took place on two housing developments where the affordable housing element has not yet been recorded (Land at Drapers Yard London Road, South Stifford and at Grays Athletic FC, Bridge Road, Grays). It is likely that these will form part of next year’s totals. • the affordable housing element of the development at the Former Sports Ground, North Road, Purfleet was provided at the front end of the development.

LDF policy provides that the Council will seek the minimum provision of 35% of the total number of residential units built to be provided as Affordable Housing.

H6: Housing Quality – Building for Life Assessments

Relevant Policies: Local Plan Saved Policy None LDF Core Strategy Policy CSTP22 - Thurrock Design PMD2 - Design and layout

Policy PMD2 of the Council’s Adopted Core Strategy and Policies for Management of Development DPD requires developers to consider the Building for Life criteria set out by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) in designing residential development and confirms that the Council will use the criteria to evaluate the proposals. Where the Council considers that the proposed development site has the potential to meet all the criteria, the Council will require residential development to meet the ‘silver’ standard, and from 2016, the ‘gold’ standard. Because of the downturn in development activity generally and in particular on larger sites which offer the greatest potential to meet the criteria there have been no proposals submitted to the Council in the last year which were considered to have the potential to achieve the ‘silver’ standard.

Additional Indicator : Percentage of new dwellings completed, by density

Relevant Policies: Local Plan Saved Policy None LDF Core Strategy Policy CSTP1 - Strategic Housing Provision

In 2011/12 there were 332 dwellings built on sites of 10 dwellings or more. 100% were developed at a density of above 50 dwellings per hectare.

Adopted LDF Policy CSTP1 provides that a density of at least 60 dwellings per hectare would be appropriate in urban locations with high public transport accessibility. In suburban locations, a density range of between 30 and 70 dwellings per hectare would be more appropriate.

The density of development completed in the last five years is shown below:

Density of new dwellings completed (on sites of 10 dwellings or more) less than 30 between 30 and above 70 dwellings per 70 dwellings per dwellings per hectare hectare hectare April 07/April 08 0 (0.0%) 237 (37.2%) 400 (62.8%) April 08/April 09 0 (0.0%) 44 (42.3%) 60 (57.7%) April 09/April 10 0 (0.0%) 23 (40.4%) 34 (59.6%) April 10/April 11 0 (0.0%) 92 (38.0%) 150 (62.0%) April 11/April 12 0 (0.0%) 157 (52.7%) 175 (42.3%)

The above figures only include developments of more than 10 dwellings. Gross site areas have been discounted in order to estimate the net developable area of the sites.

W2: Amount of municipal waste arising, and managed by management type by waste planning authority

Relevant Policies: as in W1 above and WM6: Residual household waste recycled and composted

In 2011/12 there were 68,888 tonnes of municipal waste arising. Of this, 42.84% was sent for reuse, recycling or composting, and 31.03% was sent to landfill. The tonnage and percentage of each management type for the last three years is shown in the table below.

The figures from 2010/2011 onwards show the improvement in recycling rate following the roll- out of the Council’s 1-2-3 recycling scheme, along with a change in waste disposal contracts, resulting in more waste being sent for Energy from Waste rather than landfill. It is likely that this trend will continue with targets for further increases.

LOCAL OUTPUT INDICATORS & SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS INDICATORS

These indicators enable information to be collected about locally significant issues that are not covered by the Core Output and Contextual Indicators. These indicators are listed in Chapter 7 of the Adopted Core Strategy.

EMPLOYMENT

BD5: Number of VAT registrations for businesses

VAT registered business stock in the Borough increased steadily from 2,940 businesses in 2001 to 3,620 in 2007 (Source: NOMIS). This represented a growth of 23.1%. There is no further published information since 2007. However, there has been a global economic restructuring that has affected parts of Thurrock’s economy. The indications from regional forecasting are that Thurrock’s economy will continue to grow over the long-term period to 2021 with retail, transport and communications, health and public administration being the key growth sectors.

SOCIALLY INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES

SIC4: Participation in culture- use of public libraries (does not include use for work, full time education or volunteering)

The table below shows the number of people that have visited a library per 1000 population.

This table indicates that there has been a decline in the number of people visiting libraries since 2009. The numbers fell short of the Council’s target of 7022 for 2011/2012, although this still account for over 1 million visitors annually.

SIC6: Adult participation in sport (including light exercise)

The table below shows that there has been an increase in the number of residents that participate in sport for at least 30 minutes 3 times a week. However, Thurrock is still below the average for England.

This table indicates that after a drop in 2009 there has been a rise in the number of working age people who are qualified to Level 2 or higher. The number of people qualified to Level 3 or higher has continued to rise from 2009. However, there has been a slight drop in the numbers of people qualified to Level 4 or higher.

The figures for people qualified to Level 2 or higher and 3 or higher have exceeded the Council’s targets for 2012.

MONITORING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FUTURE

This AMR does not monitor some Core Output Indicators. These gaps are highlighted within this report. It does not, as yet, include local output indicators or significant effects indicators. It is clear that these additional indicators will need to be implemented into the monitoring scheme for the future.

Thurrock Council’s Strategic Planning Service is continuing to reviewing its’ information systems in order to enable on-going improvement to monitoring. It is also collaborating with Essex County Council through monitoring groups in order to ensure consistency in the collection and analysis of information. This enables a consistent approach to be taken in measuring and monitoring change.

APPENDIX 1

Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (Transitional Provision) the policies in the Local Plan (Adopted 1997) were automatically saved for three years. The saved Local Plan Policies will be gradually replaced by Thurrock’s emerging Local Development Framework including the Core Strategy and Policies for Management of Development DPD, Site Specific Allocations DPD, Minerals and Waste DPD once adopted. Some of the policies are also supplemented by various Supplementary Planning Documents. The Local Policies are not replaced by like for like policies but have either been fully or partly absorbed by various Core Strategy Policies. Some polices have not been carried forward.

The table below is taken from Appendix 7 of the Adopted LDF Core Strategy and shows the list of saved Local Plan policies and how they will be replaced.
