Derby City Local Plan Derby City Local Plan - Part 1 Core Strategy: Proposed Modifications September 2016 We have produced this track-changed version of the Core Strategy so that the changes to the plan can be seen in context. The proposed Main Modifications are those which the Inspector considers are necessary to make the plan sound and/or legally compliant. Proposed Main Modifications are clearly shown in red, with the Main Modification number shown next to the relevant text. Where new text is proposed it is shown in bold, where text is proposed for removal it has been struck through, as set out below. Minor Modifications, those changes needed that do not affect the soundness of the plan but seek to factually update the plan or correct errors, are also shown in the same way but in black. Minor modification do not form part of the current consultation. Any representations should relate to whether the proposed Main Modifications satisfactorily address matters of soundness and/or legal compliance.

Peak District. It’s a city which is passionate about progress and continues to grow, punching above its weight in terms of its contribution to the UK economy. A city that is home to prestigious global brands such as Rolls-Royce, Bombardier and with close links to Toyota, with a highly Councillor Martin Rawson skilled workforce specialising in the manufacture of planes, trains and automobiles. A city with excellent road and rail links close to a rapidly expanding regional airport. Derby is an attractive city where people want to live and work and where people come to shop, to be entertained and to spend their leisure time. Derby is a city which, despite its rapid growth, retains its heritage and has valued areas of green space and high quality townscape; a city that has a World Heritage Site at its heart. The challenge for the future is to meet the demands for economic prosperity while retaining the qualities that make Derby such a special place. We need to solve existing and emerging problems and to establish Derby as a sustainable city fit for the 21st century. Our best chance to meet these existing and future challenges and keep Derby as a place we can all be proud of, is to plan for them. The Core Strategy sets out how Derby City Council intends to meet these challenges up to 2028. It will not be easy, the future will demand that we make things happen in the right way and we may have to adjust our plans in response to changing times and world events. This consultation provides an opportunity for people to comment on whether the Plan is legally compliant and whether it has been prepared in a sound manner, before it is submitted to the Secretary of State to be ‘Examined’ by an independent Planning Inspector. Once the Plan has been found to be prepared in a ‘sound’ manner and to be legally compliant, it will be adopted by the Council and will be used to shape the future of Derby. The preparation of this plan has only been possible through the extensive engagement and dialogue with the wide range of individuals, organisations and interest groups. The amount of feedback received and the way this has shaped the plan has reflected how much people care about this City and its future. I would like to thank all those involved in the preparation of this document and look iv Derby City Local Plan, Part 1 - Core Strategy Format of the Core Strategy: The Core Strategy is divided into eight chapters: • Learning, Health and Community • Delivering a Sustainable Transport Network Chapter 1 sets out the context underpinning the Core Strategy. It provides information about how the document has been prepared Chapter 6 is entitled ‘Areas of Change’ and includes policies that and outlines what evidence has been used to inform the policies; relate to specific areas of the city where regeneration and growth is being promoted.

Concessions are also designed to bring much needed private capital into the rail industry. The success of competitive tendering in achieving these outcomes depends critically on the way risks are assigned between the government and private train operators. It also depends on the transparency and durability of the regulatory framework established to protect both the public interest and the interests of concession holders, and on the incentives created by franchise agreements. This report examines experience to date from around the world in competitively tendering rail services. It seeks to draw lessons for effective design of concessions and regulation from both of the successful and less successful cases examined. The work RailServices is based on detailed examinations by leading experts of the experience of passenger rail concessions in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.
