Morpeth Neighbourhood Plan – 'Made' May 2016 The Morpeth Neighbourhood Plan Morpeth Pegswood Hebron Hepscott Mitford THE MORPETH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2011 - 2031 Made 10 May 2016 www.themorpethneighbourhoodplan.org.uka PREFACE Neighbourhood Plans: Neighbourhood Plans are part of the Government’s reforms allowing local communities to express their priorities with a view to managing change rather than responding to developer pressures. Since the launch of the Morpeth Neighbourhood Plan (MNP), which covers Morpeth, Hebron, Hepscott, Mitford and Pegswood, a large number of residents and stakeholders have identified issues and concerns and taken part in two phases of consultation and very many volunteers have been directly active in researching, and drafting this Plan. Following a consultation exercise in autumn 2013, a draft MNP was prepared with a vision, objectives and policies for managing change in the Plan area for the next two decades. The draft Plan was the subject of a further consultation exercise in January - March 2015, which involved a leaflet giving an overview of the Plan document being distributed to all households in the Plan area. Amendments were made to the Draft Plan taking into account comments received from statutory consultees, other consultees and local residents to produce a Submission Draft Plan which was the subject of further publicity conducted by the County Council. An Independent Examination was undertaken on the Submission Draft Plan. The Independent Examiner recommended that, subject to a number of modifications being made to policies in the Plan, it met the ‘basic conditions’ and could proceed to referendum. The County Council considered those recommendations and resolved to accept all modifications proposed by the Examiner. A Referendum was held on 25 February 2016 and a majority of those voting were in favour of the Plan. This document is the final version of the Plan which was ‘made’ by Northumberland County Council on 10 May 2016. Planning Policies and Community Actions: A ‘neighbourhood plan’ is a plan that sets out policies and proposals in relation to the development and use of land in the whole, or a particular part, of a neighbourhood area. Within this document such land use policies are identified as Planning Policies. Development proposals in the plan area will be determined in accordance with the planning policy framework of the MNP, strategic and national planning policies and any other material consideration. The planning policies of the MNP are intended to meet plan objectives and help realise the vision for the plan area and its communities. Planning Policies are set out in Part A of this document. The MNP also includes wider community actions than those directly relating to the use and development of land. These measures are intended to encourage action and influence decisions taken by relevant bodies to achieve the vision and objectives of the MNP. It is acceptable to include such matters within a neighbourhood plan as they will also help to meet plan objectives and to realise the vision of the plan. These are identified as Community Actions within this document and carry the reference prefix ‘CA’. Whilst community actions are important, in legal terms only the planning policies of the MNP have ‘statutory weight’. The Local Planning Authority will only have regard to the adopted planning policies of the MNP when determining planning applications. It will be the responsibility of the town and parish councils and other appropriate bodies to take forward the community actions. A community action that forms part of an integrated package of policies and proposals and sits within a neighbourhood plan, and which has been the subject of community consultation, is likely to be given greater status by relevant bodies when it comes to securing support and possible funding. Community Actions are set out in Part B of this document. After each planning policy and community action the relevant objectives are identified. b FOREWORD This Morpeth Neighbourhood Plan is our plan for land use in our area – Morpeth and the parishes of Hebron, Hepscott, Mitford and Pegswood, prepared by volunteers and local residents. Morpeth Town Council and the four parish councils are indebted to all the volunteers who gave so unstintingly of their time to help us fulfill our ambition to have a Neighbourhood Plan for the area. Over the next couple of decades, we can expect the population of Morpeth to grow by well over 20% and this Plan helps determine where and how that development will take place. The Plan’s Vision is that our town remains vibrant and our villages retain their individual character so that our new residents identify themselves as part in our communities and our existing residents continue to be proud of where we live. The Plan is designed to enable us to shape the development of our communities over the next two decades without loss of their special and distinctive character.

  • 3.0 Project Pipeline
    3.0 Project Pipeline Following the workshop the project proposals were summarised into a pipeline. This was shared with all attendees for comments and further input and then reviewed by the North East LNP Natural Environment Group and other LNP representatives. The following summary provides an overview of project potential and likelihood of development. It is clear from this that there are potential landscape projects in the pipeline until 2019. Beyond this there is significant potential for further delivery, however the majority of these projects are currently at an outline stage and would require significant work to move towards delivery. This pipeline will be reviewed annually by the 3 North East LNPs to ensure that it remains a current overview of landscape delivery potential and allow partners to focus and align resources to ensure that there is the best approach taken to achieve delivery. It is anticipated that during this process, some projects will be discounted from the pipeline as delivery is unachievable whilst new ideas may be added as new opportunities are presented.

Later than was expected, Highways England has announced the preferred route from Morpeth to Felton. The Green route option has been chosen. This was the most popular route in the public consultation that took place late last year. The majority of the work will be west of the existing A1 highway, most of which will be retained to act as a local road after the scheme has been completed. The new A1 is to be accessed with new junctions close to the existing Hebron Road junction, east of Fenrother and at Westmoor. To maintain existing routes there will be an overbridge at Causey Park and an underbridge at Burgham. Preliminary design work is continuing, with further community consultation in 2018, an examination by the Planning Inspectorate and a Secretary of State decision late in 2019 or early in 2020. It is planned to open this section of the A1 through Pegswood Division in 2023.
