5 Year Review Introduction Five - Year Review - December 2002 Introduction Introduction An introduction to the five-year review Overview In March 1997 the eight Suffolk local-planning authorities (Fig 1) jointly produced Suffolk’s Environment…towards sustainable development. Its aims were to ● characterise the environment of Suffolk; ● identify indicators to provide measures of the environmental effect of development plan policies and proposals; and ● provide a baseline for future monitoring. At the time of publication it was recognised that the document merely represented a starting point: “It must be stressed that the publication of the Report is not Waveney the end of the process. It provides a methodology and a District Council Forest Heath basis for the environmental appraisal of planning policy District Council within Suffolk. Therefore, in order for this document to be of 076864 greatest use and to actively contribute to the aims of sustainable development it must be continually referred to Mid - Suffolk and constantly updated.” District Council Suffolk’s Environment envisaged reporting on the full range of Suffolk Coastal District Council indicators every five years with summary monitoring reports, folk County Council LA Ba incorporating an update of the indicators relating to planning St Edmundsbury Borough Councilber gh decisions, being produced annually. The first annual monitoring District Council IBC report was published in early 1999 and since then a further two annual reports have been published in 2000 and 2001 with IBC=Ipswich Borough Council accompanying summary leaflets being widely distributed. Crown Copyright. Suf c Fig 1: The local planning authorities of Suffolk Introduction 2002 marks five years on from the publication of the baseline report and time for a major review and update of Suffolk’s Environment. The publication of this document forms the outcome of that review. What is sustainable development? (Fig 2) Sustainable development components Social progress which recognises the needs Effective protection of the of everyone environment Sustainable development Maintenance of high and Prudent use of natural stable levels of economic resources growth and employment Introduction The “international” definition of sustainable development, set by the World Commission on Environment and Development (1987) is “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Many other definitions exist, but all incorporate the concept that in planning for a better quality of life, the economic, social and environmental dimensions have to be considered together and that more attention has to be given to the long-term consequences of human decisions and activity. It is only when all long-term consequences are fully taken into account, and reflected in the decision, that sustainable development can be achieved (fig 2). Planning for sustainable development in Suffolk The land use planning system has a key role in assessing the implications of development thereby influencing progress towards a sustainable future. It enables the provision of homes and buildings, investment and jobs, promoting competition whilst at the same time having regard to the environment and amenity. It is frequently the case, in relation to particular development proposals, that several economic, environmental, social and other factors need to be taken into account. This requires a framework that promotes consistent, predictable and prompt decision-making. The role of the planning system in contributing to sustainable development is recognised by the Government in Planning Policy Guidance (PPG) Notes. PPG12: Development Plans (1999) requires all local planning authorities to prepare and keep up to date a development plan containing policies and proposals relating to the development of the whole of their area. The development plans within Suffolk are listed in Fig 3. These plans provide the framework for, amongst other things, the amount and location of new development, identifying the features that should be protected and including measures to improve the quality of the environment. The main aim of the planning system is to balance the social, economic and environmental implications of the development of land. Section 54A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 requires that an application for planning permission or an appeal to be determined in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Introduction (Fig 3) Development Plans in Suffolk Suffolk County Structure Plan 2001 Adopted 2001 Babergh Local Plan Adopted June 1995, Issues Report published January 1999 First Deposit Draft published September 2001 Forest Heath Adopted December 1995 Issues Report published May 2001 Ipswich Local Plan Adopted 1997 First Deposit Draft published 2001 Mid Suffolk Local Plan Adopted September 1998, Review Issues Paper May 2002 First Deposit Draft expected Jan 2003 St Edmundsbury Local Plan Adopted 1998 Review Issues Report February 2000 Suffolk Coastal Local Plan Adopted February 2001 (incorporating the First Alteration) Review Issues Paper expected Winter 2002 Waveney Local Plan Adopted November 1996 Draft Review Plan expected Jan 2003 Broads Adopted May 1997 Suffolk Minerals Local Plan Adopted May 1999 Local planning authorities need to keep their plans up to date and to fully appreciate the impact they are having, and are likely to have, upon their area. This is achieved through the Plan, Monitor and Manage approach. Full appraisals of development plan policies and proposals encompassing economic, social and environmental issues are also expected. Introduction The sustainability appraisal of Development Plans Suffolk’s Environment…towards sustainable development was published in response to the Environmental Appraisal of Development Plans: A Good Practice Guide” published in 1993 by the then Department of the Environment. That document advocated three separate, but integrated, elements of appraisal: ● “characterising” the environment: looking at key assets, threats and opportunities in order to provide a baseline and context for considering the environmental effects of policies; ● ensuring the scope of the plan covers the appropriate range of environmental concerns; and ● appraising policies and proposals to establish their environmental effects. The publication of PPG12: Development Plans updated that guidance, with all authorities now expected to appreciate wider sustainability issues in their appraisals. The Suffolk Inter-authority approach to sustainability appraisal The five-year review has revisited and updated the characterisation of Suffolk and sought to achieve the following aims: ● To expand the characterisation of Suffolk’s Environment to encompass all land use sustainability issues, including social and economic issues. Whilst Suffolk’s Environment reported on some economic factors, for example, economic rates of growth, there has been a fuller inclusion of non- environmental issues that have relevance to land use planning, for example, crime levels. ● To review the 136 indicators contained in Suffolk’s Environment. Prior to 1997 little published work existed on the use of indicators. Certainly Suffolk’s Environment preceded many familiar ”indicator “ documents of today, including Quality of Life indicators and governmental Best Value indicators. Much has been learnt about the need for SMART indicators (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-related) and the five year time span has allowed the inter-authority partnership to appreciate which indicators are effective and SMART and which are not. ● To establish a set of sustainable development objectives that can be influenced by the land use planning system. The local authorities within Suffolk do vary in terms of the character of local communities, geography and development pressures. However through analysing the development plans in place within the county and through reviewing Suffolk’s Environment, an early agreement to a set of common sustainable objectives was possible (Fig 4). Having a common set of objectives has facilitated a more focused review of Suffolk’s Environment. ● To take account of newly developed monitoring systems, both locally and nationally, minimising data collection. With the growing number of indicator and data requirements, particularly at various governmental levels, it is of paramount importance to rationalise and maximise the use of data collected. Examples include Best Value Indicators and the Housing Reconciliation Form at central governmental level, and the evolving Regional Policy Guidance at the East of England regional level At a local level the statutory requirement to prepare and monitor Local Transport Plans has enabled a rationalisation of Transport indicators. Introduction ● To involve additional “expert” partners in the development of, and reporting on, new indicators. Partnerships with the Environment Agency and the County’s Archaeological Service have been built upon, whilst a new partnership with Suffolk Wildlife Trust has furthered understanding in relation to biodiversity. A national award winning partnership with the Suffolk East and Suffolk West Federations of Women’s Institutes has enabled the Suffolk authorities to become uniquely aware of how distinctive local landscapes are changing over time.

  • Suffolk's Framework for Growth
    Suffolk’s Framework for Growth 1 Foreword Suffolk’s local authorities are working together to address our residents and businesses’ future needs and deliver our growth plans in an inclusive and integrated way. Responding to the Government’s ambitions to increase the nation’s overall prosperity and recognising past growth has not always benefitted all communities equally, our Framework sets out how we will utilise Suffolk’s potential to ensure we plan and achieve the growth that is right for us and our communities. A Framework provides a mechanism to bring together work across teams; including local planning, economic development, skills, and housing; alongside our partners at the University of Suffolk, Suffolk Chamber of Commerce and New Anglia LEP. It sets out how we are working across our administrative boundaries and with our key partners to deliver our physical development (homes, employment sites, public and private buildings) in a way that matches our communities’ aspirations for growth and ensures we can match this with the investment in our infrastructure both now and in the future. The Framework includes links where you can find further, more detailed information. It builds on our conversations with Government, our partners and our communities, which started with our proposals for devolution and have been built on through our responses to both the Industrial Strategy and the Housing White Paper. It will provide the mechanism for monitoring our successes and realigning work that is not achieving the outcomes we anticipate. This Framework has been agreed by all Suffolk Local Authority Leaders and the joint Suffolk Growth Portfolio Holders (GP/H).

  • Site Improvement Plan Waveney and Little Ouse Valley Fens
    Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan Waveney and Little Ouse Valley Fens Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS). Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the site(s) and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIPs are based on Natural England's current evidence and knowledge. The SIPs are not legal documents, they are live documents that will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as actions get underway.

    DAVID TYLDESLEY AND ASSOCIATES PLANNING, LANDSCAPE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS Habitat Regulations Assessment: Breckland Council Submission Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Document Durwyn Liley, Rachel Hoskin, John Underhill-Day & David Tyldesley 1 DRAFT Date: 7th November 2008 Version: Draft Recommended Citation: Liley, D., Hoskin, R., Underhill-Day, J. & Tyldesley, D. (2008). Habitat Regulations Assessment: Breckland Council Submission Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Document. Footprint Ecology, Wareham, Dorset. Report for Breckland District Council. 2 Summary This document records the results of a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) of Breckland District Council’s Core Strategy. The Breckland District lies in an area of considerable importance for nature conservation with a number of European Sites located within and just outside the District. The range of sites, habitats and designations is complex. Taking an area of search of 20km around the District boundary as an initial screening for relevant protected sites the assessment identified five different SPAs, ten different SACs and eight different Ramsar sites. Following on from this initial screening the assessment identifies the following potential adverse effects which are addressed within the appropriate assessment: • Reduction in the density of Breckland SPA Annex I bird species (stone curlew, nightjar, woodlark) near to new housing. • Increased levels of recreational activity resulting in increased disturbance to Breckland SPA Annex I bird species (stone curlew, nightjar, woodlark). • Increased levels of people on and around the heaths, resulting in an increase in urban effects such as increased fire risk, fly-tipping, trampling. • Increased levels of recreation to the Norfolk Coast (including the Wash), potentially resulting in disturbance to interest features and other recreational impacts.
