Introduction

3 Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan: Development Plan Document Consultation Statement

1 Introduction

1.1 The purpose of this Consultation Statement is to set out details of the consultation undertaken during the preparation of the Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan . It has been produced in order to met the requirements of Regulation 28 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004.

1.2 It sets out the responses made during the Regulation 25 consultations (Regulation 28c) and the Pre-Submission (Preferred Option) consultation and representations. It highlights the main issues raised and outlines how these have been addressed in the Area Action Plan that will be submitted to the Secretary of State 1.1 Purpose of the Document

1.3 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 introduced fundamental changes to the planning system. The single borough wide Local Plan was to be replaced by a Local Development Framework, a portfolio of planning documents. One of the main objectives of this new planning system was to achieve effective engagement with the local community and others with an interest in the area early on in the process.

1.4 This Consultation Statement sets out how this engagement has been undertaken from the very outset of the preparation of the Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan. It is a requirement that the Council prepares such a document to accompany the Plan that it is proposing to submit to submit to the Secretary of State. This will help the Planning Inspector carrying out the public examination of the AAP to determine whether the plan is in compliance with the Council’s Statement of Community Involvement and Government guidance. 1.2 Links to the Statement of Community Involvement

1.5 Burnley Borough Council’s Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) was adopted on 5th September 2007, about halfway through the preparation of this Area Action Plan. Although the Issues and Options consultation started in July/August 2006, before the adoption of the SCI, the methods of engagement used at this stage were informed by the emerging SCI.

1.6 Prior to consultation on Issues and Options, there had been a significant amount of engagement in developing a plan for Burnley Wood and Healey Wood. This was not informed by the SCI.

1.7 The Statement of Compliance with the Statement of Community Involvement (Appendix 1) shows how the requirements of the SCI have been met during the preparation of the Burnley Wood and Healey Wood AAP.

1.8 Figure 1 sets out the stages undertaken prior to the preparation and publication of the submission AAP and the dates for each stage:

2 Early Consultation – Pre Issues and Options 2.1 Early Consultation – Pre- Issues and Options Stage

2.1 In 2003, a Neighbourhood Action Plan was prepared for Burnley Wood, to help inform proposals for for the first round of Elevate East Lancashire funding under the Housing Market Renewal Programme. In 2005, a Masterplan was prepared in order to test the ideas in the NAP Preferred Option and to identify any further opportunities for change. During the production of this Masterplan the boundary was extended to include Healey Wood.

2.2 However, as the NAP and Masterplan had not been produced in accordance with the changes to the planning system introduced in the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, work started afresh on the development of an Area Action Plan using the information gathered as the basis for developing the evidence base further and progressing thinking around the issues affecting the area and possible options for addressing these.

3 Issues and Options Consultation 3.1 Regulation 25

3.1 In line with the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, Burnley Borough Council sought early engagement in the Burnley Wood and Healey Wood AAP preparation process. An Issues and Options Report was prepared in July 2006 based on the consultation that had been undertaken in 2005. This highlighted issues and set out a number of options for dealing with these. Its purpose was to stimulate discussion and debate about the issues that the AAP should address and the options for dealing with them. Further suggestions and comments on the content of this document were encouraged and the outcome of this stage of consultation helped to inform the Preferred Option Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan.

3.2 There was a six week consultation period that ran from 24th July – 15th September 2006. This was preceded by a training session for the community and other stakeholders on 10th May 2006. This was run jointly with North West Planning Aid and its purpose was to explain the LDF process, highlight the forthcoming consultation on all of the Area Action Plans being undertaken and indicate how this consultation would influence the final proposals for the area. 88 people attended this event.

3.3 The Issues and Options Report was delivered to every household in the AAP area and a letter was sent to the list of consultees set out in Appendix B1. This letter indicated that the Issues and Options Report and background information was available online, that it was also available for inspection and that consultation on the report was being undertaken from 24 July (see Appendix B2). Those consultees on List 1 also received a copy of the Issues and Options Report itself. 3.2 Consultation Process

3.4 In order to try to achieve effective and inclusive engagement at this crucial stage in the development of the AAP, the Council undertook a range of different consultation methods. As well as sending the Issues and Options consultation documents to all households and businesses in Padiham, there were exhibition/drop in events, online consultation and texting.

3.5 A yellow consultation bus was hired from a community group in Bradford to raise the profile of the consultation drop in sessions. The first was held in St Stephens Church Car park on the morning of 28th July 2006, followed by an afternoon event in Healey Wood opposite Healey Wood School. A further event was held at the Sure Start on Brunswick Street on the evening of 28th July and there was a general event for all of the AAPs that were being prepared at that time. This was held in Burnley town centre on 3 August. Planning officers and North West Planning Aid were in attendance at these events to explain what the AAP was, how people could get involved in its preparation and what would happen next. In addition, there were staff from the Council’s Housing and Green Spaces services and from the registered social landlord, Calico to answer questions specific to their work areas.

3.6 As well as the online consultation, the Council produced a 3D leaflet, which invited young people to text their address to a Council number. They then received a reply telling them the different options in text format, and inviting them to text back the one they preferred. All those aged under 21 who took part in the initiative were entered into a free draw to win a prize donated by a town centre retailer.

3.7 Although all methods of consultation were well received, the leaflets resulted in very few texts being received. It was felt that this pointed to a need to work more closely with schools and youth agencies to promote consultations. The other consultation events were more successful and the highly visible and accessible yellow bus was found to be very effective.

3.8 In total, 383 responses were received. These responses were shared with the community and other partners at an AAP and general planning awareness raising event called The Planning Factory. This was held on 18 November at the football club to help explain the complex planning process to local residents and over 300 people attended

3.3 Consideration of the Comments Made during Issues and Options Consultation

3.9 A detailed consideration of the comments made at Issues and Options stage is set out in Appendix B3. The key issues raised were:

The issues that gave rise to greatest concern

• Anti social behaviour

• General cleanliness, neglected and poorly maintained properties

• Private Landlords

• The future of Healey Wood School

Options – the main concerns

• The future of the terraced housing within the Grid – should the housing be retained to maintain the community and character of the area, or should the Council finish the job and clear the houses as retention is only delaying the inevitable?

• Where is the Local Centre for Burnley Wood? Should shops and services be focused on Parliament Street or Oxford Road?

• What is the future for Healey Wood? What level of Intervention is necessary to meet residents concerns and aspirations?

• What is the future of existing open space and recreation areas after the opening of the new Neighbourhood Park?

• The area is home to local businesses who provide local jobs and services? Is it sensible to relocate these businesses for new housing? How will the needs of local employers be accommodated?

3.10 Although the response to the consultation on Issues and options had been good, there was little comment from local businesses. Consequently, in March 2007, a survey of businesses in the Burnley Wood and Healey Wood area was undertaken. A total of 38 businesses were sent a postal survey to complete, of which 6 businesses completed and returned the questionnaire. A report detailing the main findings of this consultation exercise is attached as Appendix B4.

3.11 The Council used all of these consultation responses as a basis for further discussions with a number of agencies and stakeholders to inform the formulation of a Preferred Option for Burnley Wood and Healey Wood. These meetings, held in July – Sept 2007, followed a series of discussions held internally at Council-wide officer working group meetings. A number of key issues that the AAP would need to address became evident and are highlighted in the Preferred Option Burnley Wood and Healey Wood AAP (paragraph 2.34)

3.12 Community and other stakeholder support was an important consideration in the development of the Preferred Option AAP. However, it was not the only consideration. The Preferred Option AAP Options evaluation, set out in Appendix 1 of the Preferred Option AAP, sets out a detailed consideration of every option considered in relation to a number of criteria, including community support.

4 Preferred Options Consultation 4.1 Regulation 26 (2004 Act) Consultation

4.1 Before the six week consultation period for the Burnley Wood and Healey Wood AAP started, on January 31 2008, an event was held at the football club. This was again to explain the wider planning context for the AAP and set out how residents could get involved.

4.2 The Council then made the Preferred Option AAP for Burnley Wood and Healey Wood available for consultation from 19 February to 31 March 2008. As before, various methods of consultation were used to try to reach as broad a range of stakeholders as possible, in line with the Statement of Community Involvement.

4.3 Copies of the AAP were sent to the organisations listed in Appendix C1 along with any organisations or individuals who had requested a copy. The covering letter and the letter sent to all other consultees on the Council’s consultation database (see Appendix C2) indicated where the AAP and its associated documentation could be viewed and invited comments during the six week consultation period. The Preferred Option AAP was also summarised in a booklet and delivered to all homes and businesses in the area covered by the AAP.

4.4 Two consultation events in Burnley Wood and Healey Wood were held on the 28th February 2008 and around 20 people attended. In addition a drop in session was held on the evening of 11th March 2008 at St. Stephens Church. The AAP and other documents were also made available for inspection at the following locations:

Planning Reception, Planning & Environment Services, Parker Lane Offices Contact Burnley, Parker Lane Burnley Central Library, Grimshaw Street Padiham Library, Town Hall, Burnley Road, Padiham

4.5 In addition, the Preferred Option AAP and all of its supporting documentation were also made available online using the Council’s Limehouse consultation website.

4.6 A public notice was published in the Burnley Express and the Padiham Express on 15 February 2008 (see Appendix C3)

4.7 A total of 102 responses were received and the consideration of these is set out in Appendix C4. This includes a summary of the comments received and how they have been taken into account in drawing up the Pre-Submission Publication AAP. 4.2 Summary of Key Issues

4.8 A summary of the key issues raised in relation to the Preferred Option AAP is set out below:

Sustainable Transport

4.9 Additional routes were proposed for cycling and walking which have been included within the Pre-Submission Publication AAP where appropriate.

Employment

4.10 The issue of providing employment opportunities within the neighbourhood was raised. The continued identification of Employment sites is an integral part of the Pre-Submission Publication AAP.

14 Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan: Development Plan Document Consultation Statement

Environment

4.11 Sport England stressed the importance of promoting design that encourages physical activity, improves accessibility and enhances amenity.

4.12 Objections were raised by the Environment Agency in relation to the inclusion of sites at risk from flooding. To overcome this objection, evidence would be needed to show that the proposals in areas at risk of flooding were appropriate in relation to the requirements of PPS25 and appropriate mitigation measures were put in place.

4.13 In response to this, further work on flood risk was undertaken and this informed the content of the Pre-Submission Publication AAP.

4.14 Natural England considered that the AAP should say more about biodiversity, especially with reference to the Council's biodiversity duty in accordance with the Natural environment and Rural Communities Act.

4.15 English Heritage considered that more reference should be made to the area's historic importance on ongoing inititiaves such as the Townscape Heritage Initiative.

Housing

4.16 Concern was raised by residents concerning the toolkit of measures to be included within the TAI policies for Burnley Wood and Healey Wood, requesting that additional information be included to provide more detail around the implementation of the policies. Additionaly questions were asked about how the clearance areas had been determined and when new development is built what form will it take and what tenure of housing will be provided. 4.3 PINS LDF Support Programme

4.17 In view of the uncertainty about the acceptability of preparing an Area Action Plan in advance of its Core Strategy, the Council sought the advice of the Planning Inspectorate through the PINS LDF Support Programme (see Appendix D). The advice received indicated that there did appear to be sound reasons to progress the AAP before the Core Strategy has been finalised. However, the reasons for advancing the AAP should be explicitly set out, including the strategic and policy context on which it is based.

4.18 The Inspector also highlighted the importance of deliverability and suggested that, where external public/private or specific funding is required to successfully deliver the proposals, this should be clearly set out in each AAP. Where the availability of finance or “pump-priming” is critical, this should also be set out, along with the risks if funding does not become available. An implementation and delivery programme could be drawn up to support each AAP. 4.4 Government Office North West

4.19 Comments from Government Office North West in relation to the Preferred Option were generally supportive and there were no suggestions for change. However, GONW did make comments in relation to the Pre-Submission Publication AAP when an early copy was sent to them for comment (see Appendix 5).

4.20 The points made in relation to the AAP by Government Office in June 2010 related to the length of the document, the need for clarity in respect of affordable housing and the title of the AAP, which should be referred to as the ‘pre-submission publication’ AAP. It was also felt that the objectives should be more locally specific and that the AAP needed to be clearer about what expenditure by delivery partners was actually committed. The Council’s attention was also drawn to the Secretary of State’s intention to revoke RSS.

15 Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan: Development Plan Document Consultation Statement

4.21 These comments were taken on board in the preparation of the Pre-Submission Publication Burnley Wood and Healey Wood AAP.

4.22 Under the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2008, the requirement to undertake formal consultation at ‘Preferred Option’ stage of Development Plan Document preparation was removed. Instead, a more flexible approach to public engagement was been introduced through Regulation 25. Public participation is more flexible and not a single event and is aimed at developing alternative strategies with consultation aiding the evaluation process and choosing the most appropriate strategy to bring forward for publication. In relation to the Area Action Plan, it is considered that the approach followed so far in its production would meet the intent of the new Regulation 25.

Dear Sir/Madam

Area Action Plans for Burnley Wood, Daneshouse/Duke Bar/Stoneyholme, Padiham, Piccadilly/Trafalgar and South West Burnley – Consultation on Issues and Options

As part of the preparation of a new planning framework for Burnley, the Council is preparing a number of Area Action Plans to guide new development and co-ordinate regeneration activity. It has produced a consultation report for each of the above areas that provides some background information, sets out some of the issues facing the area and suggests a number of options for addressing them. I am pleased to enclose your complementary copies of these reports.

Consultation on the issues and options is the first stage of public consultation in the Area Action Plan process and the Council would be grateful to receive your comments. Your feedback will be important in helping us to progress these Area Action Plans to their next stage – the identification of preferred option(s).

Comments forms are included with this letter and responses may also be made on line at www.burnley.gov.uk/areaactionplans. or e-mailed to us at [email protected]. Comments should be returned to the Council by 15th September 2006. If you would like to discuss the contents of the consultation reports please contact the Policy and Environment team (see paragraph 1.4.3 of each report for contact details).

I hope that you will take this opportunity to get involved in this important stage of the preparation of the first new Development Plan Documents for Burnley.

Yours faithfully

Margaret Whewell

Policy and Environment Manager

B.4 Business Survey

Burnley Wood Business Survey Results

A survey of businesses in the Burnley Wood area was undertaken as part of the Area Action Plan process during December 2006 and January 2007. A total of 38 businesses were sent a postal survey to complete (appendix A), of which 6 businesses completed and returned the questionnaire. This report details the main findings of this consultation exercise.

Sector

The majority of respondents to the Burnley Wood Business Survey operate within the manufacturing and construction sectors, and all are SME businesses.

Local trade

All but one of the respondents trade regularly / supply to another firm in Burnley or East Lancashire. The one company that responded that they had no local trade was BAAS Construction, and this is an issue for the company. In their comments they made it clear that they are unhappy with the local Councils in East Lancashire as they believe that they should be one of their main clients. However as it is at the moment the company has no work in east Lancashire at the present or in the foreseeable future. The cost of transporting their staff to Manchester and Leeds, where most of their work is based, is not efficient and has led to a drop in the local workforce. BAAS Construction cite the same reasons for why they do not see themselves operating out of their current location in five years time.

Size of company

Respondents to the survey varied in size from two to sixty employees. The smallest firm was Brentwood Supply Co. and the largest firm was BAAS Construction. The majority of their companies employees are local and live in Burnley, with two firms stating that their workforce is made up entirely of people from Burnley. The survey results indicated that the majority of employees use the car to get to their place of work

Skills

The respondents stated that there was a wide mix of skills across the workforce, but that they had difficulties recruiting people with the right trade skills.

Premises

Half the businesses own their property, two are in rented property and the remaining one business leases their premises.

The majority of businesses did not answer the question regarding the size of their premises, possibly indicating that they are not aware of the floor areas of their premises.

The length of time that a business has occupied their current premises varied considerably from two years to 88 years. The longest serving respondent was the Burnley Miners W.M. Social Club.

Operations

The businesses that responded to the survey gave a mixed view of how well they believe they are trading, although there was a slight skew towards the negative with half the business stating that their operations are either declining moderately or declining significantly.

Public Sector Assistance

179 Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan: Development Plan Document Consultation Statement

Half of the respondents stated that they would like further assistance from the public sector to help their company grow. Northern Blue Buses requested financial assistance, Elite 04 requested financial assistance as well as marketing advice and BAAS construction requested advice regarding employment.

Future Plans

BAAS Construction did not have plans for future expansion of their company, stating one of the reasons for this is that the Council do not use local contractors but source work from outside the area. Elite stated that they planned to continue a strategy of steady growth to encompass more work from different industries. No other respondents gave an indication of their future plans.

One third of respondents stated that within five years they did not believe they would still be operating out of the Burnley Wood area. These were Northern Blue Buses, stating a possible move to Hyndburn, and BAAS Construction, stating that there are no local work opportunities and most of their contracts are now in Manchester and Leeds.

Satisfaction of current site

Of those businesses that replied to the question regarding their satisfaction with their current site, all gave positive feedback stating that they were either very happy, or satisfied with their current location. Reasons for this included easy access for vehicles and a convenient location for their workforce.

Local Area Ratings

A major issue for the businesses in Burnley Wood is security, with concerns surrounding vandalism, anti-social behaviour from young people in the area, and general security of buildings and vehicles. Signage and local environment quality also scored poorly, with businesses stating that the area is very run down and in need of investment.

Figure B.1 Local Area Ratings

180 Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan: Development Plan Document Consultation Statement

Burnley Wood Retail Survey Results

A survey of retail businesses in the South West Burnley area was undertaken as part of the Area Action Plan process during December 2006 and January 2007. A total of 66 businesses were sent a postal survey to complete (appendix B), of which 13 retailers completed and returned the questionnaire. This report details the main findings of this consultation exercise.

Length of time trading

The majority of businesses (62%) that responded to the Burnley Wood Retail survey were well established in the area, having operated for over 10 years. There were no new start-up businesses that responded to the survey, with all respondents having operated in the area for over a year.

Figure B.2 Length of Time Trading

How is the business fairing?

All the respondents to this question stated that their business was fairing ‘moderately’ or better. One company, Belfields fish & chip shop, stated that their business was performing ‘very well’ while five companies stated that their business was fairing ‘well’.

181 Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan: Development Plan Document Consultation Statement

Figure B.3 Business fairing

How has the business grown since opening?

Again, results to this question were largely encouraging with nearly 50% of respondents stating that their business had either ‘Grown significantly’ or ‘Grown moderately’ since opening in the area. This compares to nearly a quarter of companies that stated their business had ‘Declined moderately’ or ‘Declined significantly’. Parliament Street PO and RDA Trading are the two businesses that stated their business has declined significantly since they opened in the area.

182 Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan: Development Plan Document Consultation Statement

Figure B.4 Business Growth

Rating of local facilities

The chart below shows that many of the responses to the local facilities and security issues in the area were negative, with only accessibility by bus and quality of the shops scoring satisfactorily. The respondents rated safety & security, vandalism, environmental improvements and attractiveness all very poorly. Parking availability and location was also highlighted as a problem.

183 Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan: Development Plan Document Consultation Statement

Figure B.5 Rating of Local Facilities

Improvements to the local area

Of those businesses that replied to this question the general feeling was that any change would be either neutral or positive on the area. Very few of the respondents felt any of the suggestions put forward would impact negatively on the area, although increased pedestrianisation and restrictions on out of town shopping were met less favourably. Environmental improvements, more specialist stores, free parking and more tourists / visitors to the area were all greeted with more positive responses.

184 Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan: Development Plan Document Consultation Statement

Figure B.6 Improvements to the local area

Further comments / suggestions

The respondents to the survey were asked for their further comments or suggestions, the majority of which fell into the following areas:

A general clean-up/tidy of the area Face-lifting to property Parking restrictions should be removed to assist businesses, with better & cheaper parking put in place. It was noted by a number of the respondents that there is an issue of anti-social behaviour in the area Remove derelict property and improve the remaining properties. New housing required to support retail companies. A restriction on rented housing was also suggested. Grants/low-cost loans to be made available for improving property. New business park signage Speed controls Environmental improvements required, including new planting, lighting and litterbins.

More specifically the following comments were received:

- Remove one side of Branch Road (even no’s) to disperse the anti-social behaviour.

Jonathan Office for the February 2008 enclosing the Preferred Healey Pennick North West Options Area Action Plans and associated documents of the above

mentioned for comment. As you will be W aware, we have provided comments to ood

the Council on a number of occasions Area both formally and informally during the

preparation of the Development Plan Action Document (DPD) so far and hope that our comments will help you to submit a

sound DPD during the forthcoming Plan: stages of the DPD process.

Our comments are set out below, but I Development thought I would take the opportunity to advise you about the approach to be taken in the examination of the AAP. The responsibility rests with the Local

Planning Authority to ensure that Plan submitted documents are "sound" and

enshrine the principles of front-loading, Document community engagement and the testing of alternative options as part of sustainability appraisal. If these

principles have not been addressed Consultation adequately at early stages of document preparation, it may be too late to put things right at the submission stage. Without prejudice to the Secretary of

State's role later in the process, we will Statement try to help Local Planning Authorities minimise the risk of submitting unsound 21 1 212 Burnley Full Name Organisation ID Policy/ Response Officers' Recommendation Outcome Details Proposal W

documents by making appropriate ood comments at earlier stages of document preparation, particularly at the Preferred and

Options stage. Healey To do this, we look for evidence that the nine tests of soundness (as set out in

PPS12 and explained further in W guidance from the Planning Insectorate) ood have been addressed. We will seek Area further clarification where evidence of soundness is not immediately clear. At Action this stage, we do not propose to get into the merits of detailed policy wording

because it is the overall soundness of Plan: the strategy and approach to document

preparation that we need to consider Development first, before documents are formally submitted. In previous correspondence between Burnley Council and GONW I expressed

the view that the Preferred Options Plan documents do not clearly indicate that

the current 6-week consultation period Document provides an opportunity to gather views on all the options presented within the document. However in the light of these

comments I am satisfied that the action Consultation Burnley Council have taken outlined in your letter dated 29th February addressed to all consultees in receipt of the AAP, to be an acceptable approach

in the circumstances. In proceeding to Statement Burnley

Full Name Organisation ID Policy/ Response Officers' Recommendation Outcome W Details Proposal ood and submission, you will need to satisfy

yourself that all options have been Healey sufficiently aired, and that consultees have been given an appropriate

opportunity to comment on them. W I would be happy to recommend that ood

you consider the PAS self-assessment Area toolkit as part of your consideration of

the document against the DPD tests of Action soundness. The importance of such self-assessment throughout the DPD

preparation process is stressed in the Plan: recent PINS LDF "Lesssons Learnt"

Inspector’s Summary Note

1. Key areas where advice sought

• Submitting 5 AAPs in advance of Core Strategy

• Core Strategy – consultation on housing issues and options

• Strategic context for AAPs

• Demonstrating deliverability, including external funding

• Examination process, including order of examination

2. Current position

2.1 Burnley is currently preparing 5 Action Area Plans (AAPs) for publication in July 2009 and submission to the Secretary of State in November 2009. These AAPs cover various areas of central Burnley which are in need of regeneration, particularly housing renewal, including Piccadilly/Trafalgar; Burnley Wood/Healey Wood; Daneshouse, Dukes Bar & Stoneyholme; South West Burnley; and Padiham. Consultation on Housing Issues & Options for the Core Strategy is envisaged in March 2009, but the Core Strategy itself is not scheduled for publication until January 2010, with submission in June 2010. Other DPDs in the latest LDS (Dec 2008) include the Burnley Town Centre AAP, Site Allocations DPD & Development Control Policies DPD, but these are not scheduled for publication until August 2011. The Burnley Local Plan was adopted in April 2006, with policies saved until April 2009, and the Council has requested that these policies be saved for a further period. The North-West RSS was approved in September 2008, replacing all but one policy in the former Joint Lancashire Structure Plan.

3. Submission of AAPs in advance of Core Strategy

3.1 Burnley intends to publish and submit the 5 priority AAPs before the Core Strategy has been finalised and published. However, to provide a more up-to-date context in terms of housing, consultation on Issues & Options for housing is scheduled to take place in March 2009. Guidance on preparing AAPs in PPS12 (2008) confirms that AAPs should be used in areas where significant change is envisaged, including stimulating and delivering regeneration initiatives. Similar guidance is given in the PAS web-based guidance . However, PPS12 suggests that the Core Strategy should normally be the first DPD to be produced, except where there are up-to-date saved policies and the LDS confirms the priority for preparing other DPD(s). As PINS guidance points out, the correct sequence of preparing DPDs is important, especially where the Core Strategy is controversial, and subsequent DPDs/AAPs need a sound strategic policy framework. However, where there is a particular housing need or where regeneration is urgently needed and there is an existing higher-level policy framework to set the scene, it may be appropriate to consider lower-level DPDs in advance of the Core Strategy .

3.2 In this instance, there is a recently approved RSS, which confirms the priority given to housing regeneration. Burnley’s AAPs relate to areas where urgent housing regeneration is needed, and have their basis in work and initiatives stemming from neighbourhood action plans prepared in 2003. The Local Plan is recently approved, and has been produced in a form which reflects the new LDF requirements, with a spatial vision and objectives. It includes spatial elements, and also highlights the need to give priority to housing regeneration. Its policies are saved until April 2009 and there is

264 Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan: Development Plan Document Consultation Statement

every possibility that the most relevant policies will be saved for a further period beyond that date. In this instance, there is clearly a case to progress the AAPs in a timely manner in order to provide a sound and up-to-date basis for the regeneration proposals and other required action in these areas.

3.3 Burnley has set out some key reasons why these AAPs should be advanced before the Core Strategy has been finalised, including:

• AAPs cover areas in need of regeneration, where substantial change is envisaged through Housing Market Renewal programmes, including HMR Pathfinder (Elevate) programmes;

• Need to progress the AAPs to ensure early resolution of clearance and environmental actions already initiated and provide a sound basis for determining planning applications, CPOs and land assembly, including site assembly for redevelopment and maximising HMR funding;

• The areas are showing signs of further decline and need urgent action;

• Need to ensure that resources and allocation of land are prioritised;

• Need to give certainty and confidence to the areas and the communities;

• AAPs will inform the Core Strategy, showing how the priorities of the Sustainable Community Strategy will be delivered;

• Comprehensive evidence base has been drawn up, including housing and employment land monitoring (SHLAA, SHMA, ELR, SFRA, Economic Development Strategy, Community Plan, Housing Market Restructuring Framework, Retail Study, Infrastructure Delivery Programme, etc);

• Awaiting the finalisation of the Core Strategy would delay the progress on these AAPs by at least 9 months;

3.4 In these circumstances, there seem to be sound reasons to progress these AAPs before the Core Strategy has been finalised. However, the reasons for advancing these AAPs should be explicitly set out in each AAP. More particularly, each AAP should clearly set out the strategic and policy context on which it is based, using relevant policies in the RSS and adopted Local Plan, along with any other policy frameworks, programmes, plans and initiatives. Furthermore, the AAPs should not be finalised until an up-to-date housing context has been established and consulted upon, in order to ensure there is a sound basis in housing policy terms to progress these AAPs. The various implementation bodies and agencies, including regeneration, development and housing partners, should also be involved and, if possible, support the proposals in the AAPs and assist in demonstrating deliverability. Community support is also helpful in successful implementation of the proposals.

4. Core Strategy – consultation on issues and options

4.1 Burnley proposes to consult on Housing Issues & Options in March 2009, to establish the housing context for the AAPs. The current draft consultation document explains the process, summarises national and regional/sub-regional policy, sets out a spatial portrait of Burnley, identifies spatial issues and sets out a spatial vision with objectives. It also identifies options for the spatial strategy, sets out the background to housing in the Borough, including current issues, housing supply/requirements, and policy issues, and invites responses to several specific questions. Although the draft document is a good start, it lacks a spatial element and does not yet include the identification of specific sites. It gives little idea about the distribution of new housing across the Borough or the relationship between housing clearance/ regeneration in the AAPs and the requirements for new housing in the RSS. It also provides few details of how the overall housing strategy will be implemented. Although alternative strategy options are set out, it does not indicate any preference for a particular strategy. It should also indicate the evidence base for the housing strategy, and include relevant factual material. If this consultation is to provide a meaningful context for the AAPs, it should address these current shortcomings.

265 Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan: Development Plan Document Consultation Statement

4.2 The forthcoming consultation at Core Strategy level only relates to housing issues and options. Before drawing up the Core Strategy, further consultation will be required on other policy options (for example, employment, retail and town centres, leisure and recreation, open space and Green Belt). This should be built into the future LDF programme and confirmed in the LDS.

5. Strategic context for the AAPs

5.1 At present, the current drafts of the AAPs set out a spatial portrait and vision for each area, identify key issues, explain the relationship with other plans and programmes, and set out policies and proposals for specific sites, areas and policy elements, with details of phasing and implementation. However, there needs to be a sound strategic context for each AAP, with specific regional and local policies indicated (including from the RSS and Local Plan) to provide the “strategic hooks” on which to hang the policies and proposals for each AAP. References to the Lancashire Structure Plan are now somewhat out-of-date, since this has been superseded by the new RSS. At present, it is not clear where the strategic and policy context for the AAPs is in terms of the provision and distribution of housing to each AAP and its relationship to RSS housing policies and requirements. This housing context should be clearly established before the AAPs are finalised, including the relationship with the SHLAA & SHMA . In addition, some of the AAPs include provisions for employment land and other land-uses, and the strategic policy context for these elements also needs to be established. Proposed/preferred land uses (including housing) should be fully justified. Otherwise, it appears that the “tail is wagging the dog” and the AAPs are proceeding without any higher-level strategic context.

5.2 The AAPs should be related to other key strategies and programmes which are relevant to the delivery of its proposals. This could include regional housing regeneration bodies and key delivery/developer stakeholders, along with any relevant multi-area and local area agreements and initiatives. Economic Development and Housing Strategies may also be relevant. If the overall strategy, vision and objectives established in the adopted Local Plan is to be followed, this should be confirmed, along with specific “policy hooks”. If there are no “strategic hooks” to provide the policy context for the AAPs, there could be a risk in terms of soundness. However, from what I have seen, heard and read, it seems that most of the necessary strategic and local policy context could be found in the latest RSS and adopted Local Plan, together with other relevant plans, programmes and initiatives. Each AAP could establish a succinct yet comprehensive “audit trail”, covering all relevant strategies, plans, programmes and initiatives. It should be clear how the plans in the AAPs have evolved, from the Neighbourhood Action Plans through to the current proposals. The draft audit trail appears very comprehensive and thorough, but is possibly too detailed and repetitive. The evidence base should include all the relevant supporting documents.

6. Demonstrating deliverability

6.1 Deliverability is one of the key tests of soundness in the new LDF regime, as confirmed in PPS12 . Each AAP should have a section explaining how the policies and proposals will be delivered, with evidence strong enough to withstand independent scrutiny. This includes the provision of the necessary infrastructure, with close engagement with delivery stakeholders, including physical and social infrastructure agencies, to confirm how the necessary services and facilities will be put in place for the proposed development to proceed. Each AAP should be based on sound infrastructure delivery planning, including the investment plans of infrastructure providers, and ensure that there are no regulatory or other policy barriers to implementation. Key deliverability stakeholders, renewal agencies and development partners essential to the implementation of the proposals should be signed up, with explicit support for the proposals in each AAP at publication stage.

6.2 Where external public/private or specific funding is required to successfully deliver the proposals, this should be clearly set out in each AAP. Where the availability of finance or “pump-priming” is critical, this should also be set out, along with the risks if funding does not become available. Background evidence could consider “what-if” scenarios. It may be appropriate to draw up economic viability reports where this is a key consideration, and the Council may be required to justify these reports if the contents, assumptions, figures and approaches are challenged at publication stage. It may not be appropriate to base economic viability and deliverability solely on current assumptions, in view of the present economic climate, but a range of economic scenarios could be considered in

266 Burnley Wood and Healey Wood Area Action Plan: Development Plan Document Consultation Statement

the background evidence. Economic evidence, though important in demonstrating deliverability, should be robust and proportionate to the proposals being advanced in the AAPs. An implementation and delivery programme could be drawn up to support each AAP. Key stakeholders and development partners should be involved in this work and could be called upon to assist in demonstrating how the plan will be delivered.

7. Examining the AAPs

7.1 The examination starts as soon as the AAPs are formally submitted to the Secretary of State and ends when the fact-check report is submitted to the Council. Inspectors now spend much more of their time (often more than 50%) in preparation and initial assessment of DPDs before the oral sessions (or hearings) commence. The Pre-Hearing Meeting is an important event, before which the inspector will have drawn up the draft programme for the hearings and identified the main matters and issues to be discussed, along with the participants involved. Only those who have made representations at publication stage are normally involved in the examination process and, of those, only those who consider the plan should be changed in some way have a right to participate in the hearing sessions. However, the inspector can invite relevant bodies/people to attend the hearings, but exercises discretion in this matter. If the Council wishes particular bodies or representatives to attend the hearing sessions, either individually or as part of their team, they should confirm this at an early stage with the inspector. These could include representatives of key stakeholders and delivery agencies. The hearing sessions normally only take a few weeks of the programme, depending on the nature and scale of representation and participation and the number of issues/AAPs being examined. The inspector normally only considers the representations made at publication stage, and does not specifically take into account representations made at earlier stages of consultation.

7.2 Normally, each AAP would be examined separately, particularly where discrete representations have been made to particular policies and/or proposals of a specific DPD. However, where there are similar issues or topics raised, which are relevant to more than one AAP, a joint/general session could be arranged. General issues related to, for example, the housing regeneration strategy, could be discussed first before moving on to specific issues relevant to each DPD. If the Council has any thoughts on the approach that could be adopted, these should be made known to the inspector at an early stage, well before the PHM when the programme is being determined. Before formally submitting the DPDs, the Council will need to produce a Regulation 30 statement, outlining the main issues raised in the representations. However, the examination is into the overall soundness of each AAP, rather than simply discussing and responding to representations.

8. Other matters

8.1 Affordable housing - PPS3 confirms that the economic viability of any affordable housing targets should be assessed. The Blythe Valley High Court judgement confirmed that targets and policies for affordable housing must be supported by clear evidence. Any targets must be rigorously tested, showing the basis for them, with a full justification, taking account of all material considerations. An informed assessment of the economic viability of the affordable housing targets and thresholds should be tested and undertaken prior to the examination of the AAPs. If targets/thresholds are included in the RSS, these cannot be used on their own to justify local targets. If the targets in the adopted Local Plan are to be used, they have to be justified and assessed. Note that the latest version of PPS3 establishes a revised definition of affordable housing (excluding low-cost market housing), and this should be considered when setting provision levels, targets and thresholds for affordable housing. A SHMA will undoubtedly be required.

8.2 Since these AAPs involve demolition and clearance of existing housing, the relationship to the regional housing requirements in the RSS in terms of replacement housing and assumptions about demolitions should be confirmed with the Regional Planning Body (4NW) before the AAPs are published. The RPB will also need to confirm that the AAPs are in general conformity with the approved RSS.

8.3 Since these DPDs involve AAPs, they should include Proposals Map(s) clearly illustrating the precise sites and boundaries of proposals, including land-uses. Information on alternative policy and site options should be provided in background evidence, with a clear indication of why the preferred option was chosen (including any necessary Sustainability Appraisal work).

8.4 The AAPs are important for delivering corporate and community aspirations in the context of the RSS, and should be closely aligned to the Sustainable Community Strategy. The strategy in the AAPs should be justified, effective and deliverable, should be the most appropriate strategy when considered against reasonable alternatives, and be backed up by research and other relevant evidence. The AAPs should clearly show:

• what is to be delivered

• where it is to be delivered

• when it is to be delivered

• how it will be delivered

8.5 Other basic advice:

• Supporting evidence base should be comprehensive, but proportionate, relevant and up-to-date, complete at publication stage and submitted with the AAPs at submission stage;

• Evidence does not need to be complex or over-detailed, but needs to fully support and relate to the strategy. The information does not necessarily need to be included in the AAP itself, but can be set out in supporting technical documents and topic papers;

• Each policy in each AAP should be critically examined for its justification and the analysis/facts/evidence that support it;

• Sustainability appraisal is a legal requirement and should clearly set out how each AAP has been assessed at the various stages and how the preferred option was selected;

• The AAP should show how it relates to and implements the objectives of the Sustainable Community Strategy;

• Undertake a Self-Assessment of Soundness before publication/submission using the PAS toolkit [http://www.pas.gov.uk/pas/core/ page.do?pageId=85656];

• PINS should be consulted immediately before submission to ensure that all the necessary documents are being submitted;

• Don’t try to invent/re-invent the wheel; look at other authorities’ web-sites where they have a sound DPD; look through the documents produced for the examination (including the inspector’s schedule of matters/issues), and discuss experiences with planning officers.

Some thoughts on the SBWT and Padiham AAPs.

Many of the comments made on the other AAPs apply ie:

- it would be useful to look at ways of reducing the length of these documents

- clarity is needed about how (and how much) affordable housing will be delivered (viz PPS3)

- these documents should be referred to as "pre-submission publication" AAPs

- all the AAPs seem to have very similar objectives. In most cases the vision is locally referenced; the objectives should deliver the vision so ideally should link directly back to that and therefore be more specific to each AAP. (This has been done to a certain extent but could go further).

- the AAPs need to be clearer about what expenditure by delivery partners is committed, and where it isn't say so. Any ambiguity about the commitment of partners/availability of funding should be avoided as far as possible.

Two other points:

The Padiham AAP includes a brief analysis (p.29) of the wider housing context in terms of the borough-wide 5 year supply and total housing requirement which could usefully be reflected in the other AAPs.

Finally, you will no doubt be aware of the recent announcement by the Secretary of State of his intention to revoke RSS (his letter to LA Leaders of 27 May). You should also read a PINS response to this:

www.planning-inspectorate.gov.uk/pins/advice_for_insp/rs_forthcoming_abolition.pdf

Whilst we understand that you may wish to take stock in the light of this development, we do not feel that it should necessarily require any change to your proposed timetable. I'd be happy to discuss futher.
