The document will provide the basis for future planning decisions in Crawley. The Crawley Borough Local Plan 2015 – 2030 follows feedback from residents, businesses and other stakeholders to the various stages of consultation and engagement throughout its production. The Local Plan provides a clear indication of the council’s approach to the development of the town, including character, economic growth, housing, environment, infrastructure and Gatwick Airport. It provides the strategic planning policies for the borough. Councillor Peter Smith Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Development Crawley Borough Council CRAWLEY 2030: CRAWLEY BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN 2015 – 2030 4 CRAWLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL DECEMBER 2015 Crawley’s Local Plan 1.1 Planning affects us all. The homes we live in, the places we work, the open spaces where we relax and the roads we travel on are all a result of planning decisions that have been made. Crawley Borough Council has now developed a new Local Plan that will help to guide development in Crawley over the 15 years from 2015 – 2030. 1.2 This document forms the Crawley Borough Local Plan (referred to as the “Crawley 2030”), and comprises a ‘sound’, and legally compliant, Plan1. It contains the strategic planning policies and principles to help shape the future of the town. 1.3 This Local Plan replaces the Core Strategy (2008) and the saved Local Plan policies (2000). It sets out the strategic priorities for Crawley and the strategic policies to deliver: • Homes and jobs • Provision of retail, leisure and other commercial development • Provision of infrastructure for transport, telecommunications, water supply, wastewater, flood risk management, and energy • Provision of health, security, community and cultural infrastructure and other local facilities • Climate change mitigation and adaptation • Conservation and enhancement of the natural and historic environment, including landscape2 • Control of Gatwick Airport. Preparation of Evidence Base & Previous Stages of Consultation 1.4 The Crawley Borough Local Plan is based on the results of technical studies and the views of residents, businesses, statutory consultees and other interested parties gathered through previous consultation. Evidence Base 1.5 It is essential that, to meet the requirements set by national guidance, the Local Plan is underpinned by an adequate, up-to-date and relevant evidence base3 about the economic, social and environmental characteristics, needs and prospects of the area. In light of this, extensive studies have been carried out to ensure Crawley’s Local Plan will reflect the locally distinctive issues, challenges, and opportunities, unique to the town. These include the following: • Deliverability of the Local Plan: Viability Assessment; Sustainability Appraisal; Infrastructure Plan. • Housing Needs: Housing Implementation Plan; Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA); Locally Generated Housing Needs Assessment and Objective Assessment of Crawley’s Housing and Employment Needs; Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) and Housing Trajectory; Urban Capacity Study; At Crawley Study. 1 A ‘sound’ Plan is: Positively Prepared; Justified; Effective; and Consistent with National Policy; National Planning Policy Framework, paragraph 182 (2012) DCLG 2 National Planning Policy Framework, paragraph 156 (2012) DCLG 3 National Planning Policy Framework, paragraph 158 (2012) DCLG CRAWLEY 2030: CRAWLEY BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN 2015 – 2030 5 CRAWLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL DECEMBER 2015 • Employment Land Requirements: Economic Growth Assessment (EGA); Employment Land Review (ELR) and Employment Land Trajectory (ELT); Retail Capacity Study; Town Centre Retail Update. • Constraints and Assets: Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA); Baseline Character Assessment; ASEQs and Locally Listed Buildings Heritage Assessment; Noise; Safeguarding; Built-Up Area Boundary; Landscape Character Assessment; Historic Parks & Gardens Review; Open Space Study and Review; Green Infrastructure Plan; Transport Modelling. 1.6 More detail regarding the technical studies is included within the topic chapters, where appropriate, supporting the context and justification for the policies and a full list can be found at the end of this document. The evidence base studies are available alongside the Local Plan to support the implementation of the policies. Consultation 1.7 Six stages of public consultation informed the preparation of Crawley’s Local Plan. Each of these sought to consider the wide range of issues and opportunities associated with the future development and potential growth of Crawley over the next 15 years. Four separate stages of consultation took place as part of the ‘early engagement’ to inform plan preparation, with a statutory stage of formal consultation taking place prior to the submission of the Plan for independent examination. A final, focused, stage of consultation was undertaken during the Examination to allow scrutiny of the council’s proposed modifications. Issues & Options: 1.8 The council began the first stage of consultation for the Core Strategy Review (‘Issues and Options’) in May 2009. The consultation invited feedback on 13 topic papers that summarised key issues facing Crawley over the coming years. As part of the consultation, a Stakeholder Workshop was held in May 2009. 1.9 To reflect changes that occurred since 2009 a further six-week period of public consultation was carried out in January and February 2012. This involved events across the borough including holding an exhibition in every neighbourhood, the town centre, the main town leisure centre (K2 Crawley) and in a supermarket (Tesco), during which local residents, employees and visitors were offered the opportunity to feedback their views on a series of themed questionnaires. In addition to this, the use of social media and the local press, and the council’s own website offering internet-based questionnaires, evidence

  • Electoral Review of Crawley Borough Council
    Electoral Review of Crawley Borough Council Pattern of Wards April 2018 INTRODUCTION The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) are conducting a review of the electoral arrangements of Crawley Borough Council during 2018. The Commission monitors levels of electoral equality between Wards within each local authority and conducts reviews where changes in population lead to a reduction in the levels of electoral equality. The aim of a review is to establish Ward boundaries that mean each Borough Councillor represents approximately the same number of voters. The electoral arrangements for Crawley were last reviewed in 2002. Development in the Borough since that time, particularly in the Three Bridges Ward has led to electoral inequality between Wards and the review by the LGBCE will address this inequality. The review covers • The number of Councillors to be elected to the Council (Council size) • The number, names and boundaries of Wards • The number of Councillors to be elected for each Ward The Commission has announced that it is minded that Crawley Borough Council should have 36 Borough Councillors and has invited proposals on a pattern of electoral Wards to accommodate those Councillors. This document sets out Crawley Borough Council’s response. The Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 sets out the criteria that the LGBCE must have regard to in conducting electoral reviews. The Council has developed a proposed pattern of Wards which offer the best balance of these statutory requirements which are: • The need to secure equality of representation • The need to reflect the identities and interests of local communities • The need to secure effective and convenient local government BACKGROUND TO CRAWLEY Crawley is a vibrant town which sits in the heart of the Gatwick Diamond sub region.
