Draft Purton ~ Planning for the Future December 2017 Draft Purton ~ Planning for the Future December 2017 A BRIEFING PAPER This paper reviews how Purton’s population could change over the period of the Neighbourhood Plan to 2026 and how that could translate into a future housing requirement resulting from natural This paper reviews how Purton’s population could change over the period of the Neighbourhood Plan changes (births and deaths) and from migration. Based on the projected changes, it considers if the future needs for Purton can be meet from within the settlement boundary or if there may need to be some limited development outside to achieve both the numbers and types of housing. The number of new homes identified in the Briefing Paper August 2015 has been updated to reflect the number of new homes required from 2017 to 2026. Analysis of the housing sites has been updated to include the potential impact of development on the heritage assets and local biodiversity. 1 PURTON ~ Planning for the Future CONTENTS ABBREVIATIONS ................................................................................................................................ 3 RELATED DOCUMENTS ..................................................................................................................... 3 OVERVIEW ........................................................................................................................................ 4 DO WE NEED HOUSES? ..................................................................................................................... 5 HOW MANY HOUSES? ...................................................................................................................... 5 WHERE? ............................................................................................................................................ 6 Annex 1 Affordable Housing (and what it means) ........................................................................... 8 Annex 2 Wiltshire Core Strategy Policies on Affordable Housing .................................................... 9 Annex 3 Population Growth ........................................................................................................... 12 Annex 4 Types of Houses ................................................................................................................ 18 Annex 5 Analyses of Infill Developments (types and sizes of houses built) since 2000 ................. 21 Annex 6 Sustainable Development ~ where next? ........................................................................ 23 Annex 7 Potential Housing Locations and their Assessment ......................................................... 25 Annex 8 Individual Assessments for the SHLAA Locations ............................................................. 33 Annex 9 Individual Assessments for the Employment Locations ................................................... 83 Annex 10 Local Biodiversity ............................................................................................................ 87 Annex 11 Local Heritage ................................................................................................................. 91 Annex 12 Distinctive Landscapes and Views .................................................................................. 95 2 PURTON ~ Planning for the Future ABBREVIATIONS CLG (Department for) Communities and Local Government GFR General Fertility Rate ISNPP Interim Sub-National Population Projections LSOA Lower Layer Super Output Area MSOA Middle Layer Super Output Area OA Output Area ONS Office of National Statistics SHLAA Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment SOA Super Output Area TFR Total Fertility Rates RELATED DOCUMENTS a) Housing Land Supply Statement (Update) published March 2017) (Wiltshire Council) b) National Planning Policy Framework, 2012 c) Purton Housing Needs Survey January 2012 (Wiltshire Council) d) Purton Neighbourhood Plan Second Statement of Consultation (2017) (Purton Parish Council) e) Purton Neighbourhood Plan Statement of Consultation (2016) (Purton Parish Council) f) Purton Neighbourhood Plan Statement of Regulation 14 Consultation (2017) (Purton Parish Council) g) Purton Parish Plan, 2014 (Purton Parish Council – Parish Plan Group) h) The Taylor Review of Rural Economy and Affordable Housing - Living Working Countryside i) Transforming Purton Parish (January 2013) (Purton P and Qs) j) Wiltshire 2012 Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) (Wiltshire Council) k) Wiltshire 2015 SHLAA (draft) (Wiltshire Council) l) Wiltshire Core Strategy January 2015 (Wiltshire Council) m) Wiltshire Housing Site Allocations Plan (Pre-submission draft) June 2017 (Wiltshire Council) 3 PURTON ~ Planning for the Future OVERVIEW 1. The Localism Act 2011 gave communities under the Neighbourhood planning legislation the right to have a greater say in the type of development for their local community (i.e. how many houses should be built, where they should be built and what should they look like) though any such plans for a local community must still meet the needs of the wider area as defined under the Wiltshire Core Strategy1,2. 2. Purton has been working to develop a Neighbourhood Plan. 3. As part of that plan, we need to decide: Do we need houses and if so, How many and, crucially, Where? 4. Housing Need generally is determined at a larger (county) scale with some sort of fairly coarse economic/demographic that seeks to set some economic growth target for an area and then looks at the number of houses needed to house the people to do work that generates the required level of economic output. The general direction of the Wiltshire Core Strategy (Core Strategy) is that growth will be centred on the existing larger settlements, those with plenty of facilities to support a growing population. The major towns are the generally preferred choice for Wiltshire Council and is quite sensible and logical. Some growth is then spread among the community areas. Again, the logic is that such growth should be at locations capable of supporting the “growth”. In our community area, the Core Strategy identifies Local Service Centres3 as being capable of supporting some limited housing. 5. The Core Strategy was adopted in January 2015 and has since become the Development Plan Document for Wiltshire. In general terms it identifies that a total of 42,000 homes will need to be built within the plan period (2006 to 2026). Some 16,385 of these have already been completed with a further 20,269 identified as permitted development which leaves an indicative remainder of 5,346. This is the number that needs to be built throughout Wiltshire to make up the 42,000. From the remaining 5,346, the Royal Wotton Bassett Community Area4 is required to accommodate some additional 113 houses (excluding Royal Wootton Bassett itself as it has its own allocation). The latest Wiltshire’s Housing Land Supply Statement Update 2017 indicates that no more houses (zero) need to be identified in the Royal Wootton Bassett and Cricklade Rural Area. This includes Purton parish. Latest figures are zero. 6. The Core Strategy has re-affirmed that Purton, as a Large Village, it is not required to support strategic housing5 and as such does not consider it necessary to identify strategic sites (that is, not specific to a settlement) at Purton. Also of interest is that, currently, the Core Strategy 1 http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/planninganddevelopment/planningpolicy/wiltshirecorestrategy.htm 2 Also known as the Local Development Plan 3 Cricklade is a Local Service Centre 4 Includes parishes of Braydon, Broad Town, Clyffe Pypard, Latton, Lydiard Millicent, Lydiard Tregoze, Lyneham and Bradenstoke, Marston Meysey, Purton, Tockenham, and the two towns of Cricklade and Royal Wootton Bassett 5 Strategic means catering for people from outside the immediate vicinity 4 PURTON ~ Planning for the Future does not consider that there is any evidence to warrant any further western extension to Swindon in Wiltshire. 7. The conclusion is that there is no housing required at Purton other than to satisfy local need. Information on affordable housing is provided in Annex 1 and the Core Strategy’s polices on affordable housing are provided in Annex 2. DO WE NEED HOUSES? 8. With the development at Ridgeway Farm for 700 houses approved November 2012 it would be simple to assume that there would provide plenty of houses to meet Purton needs. 9. Not really. Firstly, the location is on the far eastern edge of the parish adjacent to Swindon thus could hardly be considered as “part of the village”. 10. Secondly, there is no “local person” preferential allocation so there is no guarantee anyone from Purton wanting a house there could purchase one. Thirdly, the development is so far removed from the village that it has no functional relationship with it or its facilities. 11. At the nearby development of 250 houses at Moredon Bridge (now known as Moulden View) when canvassed for the recent Purton Parish Plan survey, residents did not know they were in the parish of Purton and even then did not participate in the survey (even with reminders) since they felt no connection. 12. Furthermore, both Ridgeway farm and Moulden View developments are viewed by Wiltshire and Swindon Core Strategies as meeting the needs of Swindon, not Wiltshire, even though they are both situated in our parish. 13. In 1831, the population of the Parish comprised 1,714 persons and since then has grown on average 5% every decade to 20116 by which

  • Swindon & District Directory Extract 1928 Purton
    Swindon & District Directory Extract 1928 Purton PURTON is a large village, with a station on the Gloucester branch of the G.W.R., is 4 miles from Cricklade, 4 from Wootton Bassett, and 6 from Swindon, and is in the Chippenham Division of Wilts, Union and Petty Sessional Division of Cricklade and Wootton Bassett, County Court District of Swindon, and Diocese of Bristol. The Church dedicated to St. Mary, is an ancient structure with modern additions, and was once a chantry to Malmesbury Abbey. Its register dates from 1558. One notable feature in the building is the existence of a tower at the west end, and a lofty spire rising from the intersection of the nave and chancel. Only two other churches of this kind exist in the country – at Wanborough, Wilts, and Ormskirk, Lancashire. The living is a vicarage of the annual value of £455, in the gift of the Earl of Shaftesbury. The excellent Parochial Schools are a standing memorial of the zeal and interest shown by the late Rev. D. O. Coates, to whose energy their success is largely due. In the central part of the village stands a handsome building erected by Mr. and Mrs. James Sadler, of Lydiard House, as a memorial to the deceased sister of Mrs. Sadler, for the purpose of a coffee tavern and reading room. Mr. Sadler has presented the institution to the parishioners, the trustees being the Parish Council. Mr. Sadler, who is the President of the Purton Cricket Club, generously purchased the Cricket Field from Miss Russell in 1911, and presented it to the parish.

  • 1 | Page 1. My Name Is Richard Pagett, I Hold Two Science Degrees and Am
    Land at Widham Farm, Purton Evidence provided by Dr Richard Pagett, Huntersbrook House, Hoggs Lane, Purton, Wiltshire SN5 4HQ 1. My name is Richard Pagett, I hold two science degrees and am a Chartered Biologist, a Chartered Water and Environmental Manager, a Chartered Environmentalist and a Chartered Scientist. I have been a resident of Purton since 1986 and I live in Hoggs Lane and so am not directly affected by the proposed development. I am a former chairman of the Purton parish council and retired from leading the Purton Sustainability Group, Ps and Qs earlier this year, after nearly twenty years. 2. I appreciate the need to avoid repetition where possible and, in the interests of brevity, I will restrict my observations mainly to those commenting on the 253 pages of Mr Harris’ proof of evidence, particularly those parts referred to as Propositions 1 – 6. In general, I will also adopt Mr Harris’ text headings to assist orientation between his proof and my commentary. Growth of Purton 3. The Proof considers that additional growth at Purton can assist in achieving the fourth bullet point of paragraph 28 of the National Policy Planning Framework (the Framework) which is to “promote the retention and development of local services and community facilities in villages, such as local shops, meeting places, sports venues, cultural buildings, public houses and places of worship”. Of course, this is not an argument for housing at Widham itself, merely for housing and so could apply equally in almost any rural village. This is critical to understand because it is widely recognised that some housing in Purton to meet Purton’s need may be desirable.
