1. Context

Purpose of the background paper 1.1 This Background Paper updates and builds on the Bath & North East Somerset Rural Facilities Audit (2015)1. The findings have helped inform the options proposed in the Issues & Options document (Winter 2017). Investigations are ongoing and iterative and further work will need to be undertaken in collaboration with Town and Parish Councils. This audit therefore represents the current evidence base.

Background 1.2 Bath & North East Somerset (B&NES) is preparing a new Local Plan 2016 - 2036 that will guide development up to 2036. The preparation of this Local Plan will be the mechanism by which the Core Strategy and Placemaking Plan will be formally combined and updated into one Development Plan Document. This is being prepared within the context of the emerging West of England Joint Spatial Plan which will provide the strategic context for the new Local Plan, setting the level of housing to be provided in B&NES during the Plan period and the broad spatial strategy.

1.3 The dwelling figure for B&NES in the Publication Joint Spatial Plan (November 2017) is 14,500 of which a substantial portion has already been committed through the Core Strategy as indicated below.

1.4 The majority of housing provision not currently committed through the Core Strategy will be accommodated at Whitchurch and North Keynsham Strategic Development Locations (SDLs) and through Urban Intensification in Bath. The new Local Pan will have a key role in establishing how and where the ‘non-strategic growth’ of around 700 dwellings will be delivered.

1.5 The rural settlements are likely to continue to be expected to accommodate some of the ’non-strategic growth’ dependant on a number of factors including access to local schools, services, facilities and employment, environmental and other impacts of new development, Green Belt policy and the capacity of a settlement to accommodate more development.

1.6 The new Local Plan provides a timely opportunity to review the current approach to providing residential development outside the main urban areas and the SDLs by considering options for how and where future growth necessary to sustain rural communities can be accommodated and meet housing needs up to 2036.

1.7 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) identifies a range of significant considerations in establishing a ‘spatial strategy’ as summarised below: General:  Accessibility of local services reflecting a community’s day to day needs (in particular health, social and cultural well-being).  Managing patterns of growth to make fullest possible use of public transport, walking and cycling.  Focus significant development in locations which are or can be made sustainable.  Balancing land uses to encourage minimisation of journey lengths for employment, shopping, leisure, education and other activities.  Establishing a network of town centres resilient to future economic change. In rural areas:  Local services and community facilities in villages (including local shops, meeting places, sports venues, cultural buildings, public houses and places of worship).  Planning for housing development to meet local needs and locating it where it will enhance or maintain vitality of rural communities.

Current spatial strategy 1.8 The spatial strategy in the adopted Core Strategy, which runs up to 2029, is to locate new development in the most sustainable locations. Its priority is to

steer growth primarily to urban areas of Bath, Keynsham and the larger settlements in the Somer Valley (namely Midsomer Norton, Radstock, Westfield, Peasedown St John and Paulton), with development in rural areas to be primarily located at settlements with a good range of local facilities and with good access to public transport. All these settlements have a Housing Development Boundary (HDB) within which residential development would be acceptable in principle. For Bath, instead of a defined HDB, the urban area is defined by the inner Green Belt boundary.

1.9 In the Rural Areas Core Strategy Policies RA1 and RA2 allow residential development in principle within the HDB in villages not washed over by the Green Belt. The strategy for the rural areas is to enable housing development of around 50 dwellings in villages that meet the Policy RA1 criteria. For those villages which do not meet the Policy RA1 requirements, Policy RA2 applies and limited residential development of around 10-15 dwellings is considered acceptable in principle in those villages. This level of development at RA1 and RA2 villages is in addition to small windfall sites within the housing development boundary and will enable delivery of the 1,120 dwellings for the Rural Areas during the Plan period (up to 2029).

Primary school capacity 1.10 One of the more critical amongst the issues the settlement strategy review needs to address is primary school capacity in rural areas. One of the requirements under Policy RA1 (and Policy LCR3A, primary school capacity) is that the village has a primary school with sufficient capacity or ability to expand.

1.11 However, it is becoming increasingly evident that there is no projected spare capacity at some village schools to provide the further school places needed to cater for children that would arise from future development proposals at the settlement or scope for expansion within the current school site to provide the necessary school places. With this level of uncertainty there needs to be some re-consideration as to whether further residential development should be directed to such settlements.

2. Audit of rural services and facilities

Policy context 2.1 The NPPF (see para 1.7 above) and Core Strategy Policy DW1 (setting out the current district-wide spatial strategy), which requires that development in rural areas is located at settlements with a good range of local facilities and with good access to public transport, provide the rationale for assessing the level of and access to rural services and facilities in all settlements outside Bath, Keynsham and the Somer Valley.

Definition of a rural settlement 2.2 The Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Defra define all settlements with a resident population of less than 10,000 as rural2. It further sub-divides the rural settlements into three groups, which are: rural town and fringe areas; villages; and hamlets and isolated dwellings. Outside the urban areas the rural settlements can be broadly divided into four distinct groups by population3. Therefore in terms of B&NES, all settlements outside Bath, Keynsham and Midsomer Norton, Radstock and Westfield can be classified as ‘rural’ using this definition. The following section explores this further.

Rural settlement profile by population 2.3 Peasedown St John, Paulton and Saltford are by far the largest rural settlements with parish populations in excess of 4,000 people.

Parishes with a population between 1,000 and 2,700 people: Batheaston Chew Magna Pensford Bathford Clutton Temple Cloud Bathampton Farmborough Timsbury Bishop Sutton High Littleton with Hallatrow Whitchurch

Parishes with populations of fewer than 1,000 people: Camerton Freshford South Stoke Chew Stoke Hinton Blewett Shoscombe Claverton Hinton Charterhouse Stanton Drew Combe Hay Kelston Swainswick Compton Martin Marksbury Tunley Corston Monkton Combe Ubley East Harptree Newton St Loe Wellow

Settlements to be audited 2.4 The audit of services and facilities has only been undertaken for each settlement with a Housing Development Boundary (HDB) including those washed over by the Green Belt.

2.5 The Placemaking Plan examining Inspector recently endorsed the Council’s approach to defining HDBs in her Report4: They are defined not only having regard to delivering housing but also the need to protect the character of settlements, avoid development in areas that would cause harm and maintain other uses (e.g. employment uses, recreational facilities etc.) that are important for the vitality, viability and sustainability of settlements. Overall, the strategy for determining HDBs is sound.

2.6 Outside settlements with a HDB the approach is generally one of restraint in line with Government guidance and any development needs would be met primarily through the conversion of existing rural buildings and rural diversification. This includes those hamlets with a population of fewer than 100 people. The promotion of development in these locations would be contrary to the aims of sustainable development, and increase the need to travel for nearly all purposes. In some cases it would adversely affect the character and setting of the settlement. On this basis these settlements have not been included within this assessment.

Services and facilities to be audited 2.7 The NPPF advances that in order to deliver the social, recreational and cultural facilities that communities need, planning policies should plan positively for local services and community facilities in villages (including local shops, meeting places, sports venues, cultural buildings, public houses and

places of worship). This applies as much to rural settlements as it does the urban areas.

2.8 It is clearly not economically possible or desirable for every settlement to have all key facilities and services necessary for it to be relatively self- sufficient. It is acknowledged that the majority of rural settlements will share more centrally placed facilities in neighbouring settlements which act as local centres.

2.9 An extended list of services and facilities to be audited was created based on those in Rural Facilities Audit (2015), see below. Those added to the list are shaded in grey. The purpose of this is to get a better understanding of the current range of services and facilities in each of the settlements surveyed.

Meeting places centre Petrol station Public houses Bed & Breakfast/hotel Petrol station nearby Community centre/hall Other Mobile delivery service Places of worship Other Other

2.10 The Parish Councils also participated in the audit by providing an update of the services and facilities in their respective parishes. It should be noted the information gathered is at a parish level and therefore some services and facilities may not necessarily be within a settlement, but on its outskirts.

2.11 The summary results of the audit of the level and range of services and facilities for each settlement are set out in tabular form at Annex 1.

Results of the facilities audit 2.12 For the purposes of this exercise four benchmark indicators (broad, moderate, limited and very limited) have been used as a starting point for grouping settlements according to the level and range of local services and facilities within or immediately adjacent to each settlement. These benchmark indicators and brief explanation are set out below. The facilities/services listed under the ‘broad range’ are considered to be the minimum needed to allow a settlement to be relatively self-sufficient in terms of access to day to day goods and services allowing it to function as a local centre.

Broad range Settlements that have at least all of these key services/facilities:  Primary school  Convenience shop  Post office/bank/ATM  Public house and/or community meeting place  GP practice/pharmacy  Plus at least two shops and at least two of the following:  Pre-school provision  Dentist  Information hub (e.g. library)  Place of worship

Moderate range Settlements that have at least all of these key services/facilities:  Primary school  Convenience shop  Public house and/or community meeting place Plus at least two of the following:  Other shops  Post office  Bank/ATM  Pre-school provision  GP practice/pharmacy  Dentist  Information hub (e.g. library)  Place of worship

Access to Services & Facilities in the Rural Areas Background Paper - November 2017 7

Limited range Settlements that have at least three of the following services/facilities:  Primary school  Convenience shop  Other permanent shops  Post office  Public house and/or community meeting place  Pre-school provision  GP practice/pharmacy  Information hub (e.g. library)

Very limited range Settlements that have fewer services/facilities than the ‘Limited Range’.

2.13 Based purely on the application of these benchmark indicators to the findings of the audit (Annex 1), the rural settlements can be classified in terms of their current provision of services and facilities as listed below and indicated on Map 1. It is considered that this represents a more refined classification than the Policies RA1/RA2 approach in the Core Strategy, better reflecting the varying level and range of services and facilities available.

Settlements with a broad range of services & facilities  Batheaston  Saltford  Chew Magna  Temple Cloud  Paulton  Timsbury  Peasedown St John

Settlements with a moderate range of services & facilities  Bathampton  Freshford  Bathford  High Littleton  Bishop Sutton  Pensford  East Harptree  Wellow  Farrington Gurney

Settlements with a limited range of services & facilities  Chew Stoke  Hinton Charterhouse  Clutton  Marksbury  Corston  West Harptree  Farmborough  Whitchurch

Settlements with a very limited range of services & facilities  Camerton  Monkton Combe  Claverton  Newton St Loe

Access to Services & Facilities in the Rural Areas Background Paper - November 2017 8

 Combe Hay  Priston  Compton Martin  Shoscombe  Englishcombe  Stanton Drew  Hallatrow  Swainswick  Hinton Blewett  Tunley  South Stoke  Ubley  Kelston

2.14 NB In no way is this initial classification intended to indicate a settlement’s suitability for further development. It represents a factual basis for further debate and consideration in identifying the most sustainable locations for accommodating non-strategic growth. Further work will be undertaken in investigating the most appropriate spatial strategy and suitable sites and locations in collaboration with Town and Parish Councils. This will be informed by the assessment of the sites listed in Housing and Economic Land Assessment (HELAA) published alongside this Options document.

2.15 Three options for a spatial Strategy are presented in the Local Plan Options document for discussion but the Council is not committed to any of these at this stage.

Current primary school capacity 2.16 The issue relating to primary school provision is highlighted above (paras 1.12-1.13). One of the key sustainability related and infrastructure requirements for residential proposals in villages outside the Green Belt is the existence of the primary school. Map 1 provides a snap-shot of which primary schools are currently at capacity and/or with no physical scope to extend, plus those schools predicted soon to be at capacity (spaces to be filled with children arising from approved residential proposals) and with no further scope to expand. Lack of this particular element of infrastructure, unless remedied, could have a significant impact on whether further residential development can be accommodated even in those settlements with a ‘broad’ level of services and facilities. This is a crucial part of the debate in considering a suitable strategy for the location of further growth in the rural areas.

Public transport provision 2.17 An assessment of public transport provision and frequency serving settlements in the rural areas has been undertaken. A similar range of benchmark indicators (very frequent, frequent, moderate, limited and very limited) was used to provide an overview of current public transport provision in and through the rural areas.

Access to Services & Facilities in the Rural Areas Background Paper - November 2017 9

Very frequent Monday to Saturday daytime frequency of at least every 30 minutes in both directions; peak services enabling commuting to and from workplace; daily shopping/ leisure service: evening service; Sunday service

Frequent Monday to Saturday daytime frequency of at least hourly in both directions; peak services enabling commuting to and from workplace; daily shopping/ leisure service: evening service. Sunday service.

Moderate frequency Monday to Friday less than hourly in both directions. Enabling commuting to and from workplace; daily shopping/ leisure service but with some car reliance.

Limited frequency One or two days a week in both directions. Car reliant community

Very limited frequency Very few opportunities. Car reliant community.

2.18 Using these benchmark indicators the public transport bus routes across the District have been broadly categorised using the travel information on Traveline South West’s website5.

2.19 Map 1 indicates the level to which rural settlements are currently supported by public transport which has an obvious impact on local communities’ ability to access key facilities/services and employment opportunities.

Summary and next stage 2.20 Over 90 % of the District is classified as rural and with nearly 47,5006 residents living in villages, hamlets and other locations in the countryside, it is essential that economic and social vitality is sustained in order to provide for balanced communities and to address social exclusion.

2.21 The findings of the audit confirm that villages in the rural areas have varying degrees of accessibility to services, facilities and employment areas and many with poor public transport provision.

Access to Services & Facilities in the Rural Areas Background Paper - November 2017 10

2.22 It is recognised that even though a settlement may have a broad range of services and facilities there is no guarantee that members of the local community will necessarily take advantage of them. It is also evident that the level of facilities in a settlement does not necessarily correlate with the size of its population (for example Clutton and Farmborough).

2.23 An outcome of the new Local Plan’s emerging Spatial Priorities should be to provide choice and/or opportunity to shop, go to school, meet etc. locally and reduce the need to travel by private car, with the overall aim of creating more balanced communities. 2.24 The findings of the audit the initial classification of settlements will help inform policy direction, the formulation of the spatial strategy and the selection of locations for further growth and sites for allocation at the next stage in the plan preparation process.

2.25 It is appreciated that that this audit may need to be reviewed following the Issues and Options Phase 1a consultation and the Rural Faculties Audit 2015 republished.
