Foreword 1.1 Barnsley has changed, and will continue to change ……for the better. This document provides local planning policy for the future development of Barnsley up to the year 2033. 1.2 The Local Plan sets out the key elements of the planning framework for Barnsley, and the approach to its long term physical development to achieve the Council’s vision of what sort of place Barnsley wants to become. 1.3 The document reflects the council’s hopes and aims for the people who live, work, run businesses and enjoy leisure in Barnsley. 1.4 Barnsley has a big role to play in the wider City Regions and the Northern Powerhouse initiative being within both the Leeds and Sheffield City Regions, and the council intends to take full advantage of any opportunities that this fortunate position may present. 1.5 The Council Jobs and Business Plan 2014-2017 and the Housing Strategy 2014-2017 will be rolled forward and reviewed as the Local Plan develops and becomes the Statutory Development Plan. A Transport Strategy for Barnsley is in preparation. Barnsley’s new Local Plan sets out the council’s strategic vision and priorities for housing, employment and commercial development, including transport infrastructure and protection of our local environment. To make improvements effectively in relation to our economic priorities we must also ensure progress on other issues such as: Health. Education and skills. Cohesion and community safety. Child poverty. Quality of life and the well-being of Barnsley’s people. 1.6 Only if this is done will the full potential of Barnsley’s economic growth be realised, making the borough a better place to live 1.7 The Local Plan objectives seek to improve the economic prosperity and quality of life for all its residents and those who work here. The Local Plan will have 3 key roles in accordance with the Government's Framework (NPPF 2012) namely economic, social and environmental, and will deliver sustainable development. In order to support Barnsley's ambitions and vision the Local Plan objectives are: Provide opportunities for the creation of new jobs and protection of existing jobs Improve the conditions in which people live, work, travel and take leisure Widen the choice of high quality homes Improve the design of development Achieve net gains in biodiversity 1.8 In particular it will:- Allocate sites for employment land to support our economic needs and aspirations Page 145 3 Local Plan Publication Draft 2016 full council (1) 1 .

Vision and Objectives 2.1 There is clear intention to enhance Barnsley as a location to do business and a place that will improve the quality of life for residents. “Working together for a brighter future, a better Barnsley.” 2.2 To achieve this Barnsley’s Local Plan will provide the spatial framework within which we can deliver substantial and sustainable economic growth for the borough, as well as Leeds and Sheffield City Regions and the Northern Powerhouse, that also respects the needs of local communities. The Local Plan objectives seek to improve the economic prosperity and quality of life for all its residents and those who work here. In order to support Barnsley's ambitions and vision the Local Plan objectives are: Provide opportunities for the creation of new jobs and protection of existing jobs Improve the conditions in which people live, work, travel and take leisure Widen the choice of high quality homes Improve the design of development Achieve net gains in biodiversity 2.3 To be achieved by: Providing the opportunity to grow the economy by 33,000 jobs, including 17,500 additional jobs over the next 20 years Encouraging significant inward investment to generate this additional employment. Providing the space to allow existing businesses to grow. Creating a vibrant and attractive Town Centre Enabling the delivery of at least 20,330 homes that provide housing for all, including affordable housing, and maintaining at least a rolling 5 year deliverable supply of new housing. Enabling the provision of critical infrastructure to support sustainable communities Protecting the natural and historic environment Respecting the cultural identity and local character of Barnsley 2.4 The focus for growth will be within Urban Barnsley and the principal towns, whilst recognising the need to ensure other settlements within the Borough are able to provide appropriate levels of growth and regeneration critical to maintaining sustainable local communities. Maintaining this settlement hierarchy helps to make the best use of existing infrastructure and to achieve sustainable development. The Local Plan will have 3 key roles in accordance with the Government's Framework (NPPF 2012) namely economic, social and environmental, and will deliver sustainable development. The UK Sustainable Development Strategy Securing the Future set out five ‘guiding principles’ of sustainable development: living within the planet’s environmental limits; ensuring a strong, healthy Page 147 5 Local Plan Publication Draft 2016 full council (1) 2 . Vision and Objectives and just society; achieving a sustainable economy; promoting good governance; and using sound science responsibly. This Local Plan aims to provide a stronger and more responsive economy and to ensure a brighter future where people can achieve their potential. A 'better Barnsley' can be achieved by working together with local communities. Page 148 6 Local Plan Publication Draft 2016 full council (1) 3 . Introduction Introduction What the Plan is 3.1 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 introduced a new planning system as a result of which Development Plans were replaced by Local Development Frameworks. In March 2012 the government issued the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) which sets out the government's planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. It provides a framework within which local people and their accountable councils can produce their own distinctive local and neighbourhood plans, which reflect the needs and priorities of their communities. 3.2 The NPPF describes the development plan as including Local Plans, neighbourhood plans, and regional strategies, until regional strategies were revoked (The Regional Spatial Strategy for Yorkshire and Humber was revoked on 22nd February 2013). The Local Plan is the plan for the future development of the local area. 3.3 The Council adopted the Core Strategy in September 2011 which set out the key elements of the planning framework for Barnsley and the approach to its development to 2026. Since its adoption the NPPF has been published and the Regional Spatial Strategy was abolished. Therefore this document is being prepared and takes a more holistic approach in line with NPPF. Once adopted this Local Plan will replace the Core Strategy. It is a requirement that plans are reviewed and updated on a regular basis. (2)A glossary is contained in appendix 1 which explains some of the words and phrases used throughout this document. 3.4 This document, together with the Joint Waste Plan adopted in March 2012 prepared with Doncaster and Rotherham, will be our Local Plan, and once adopted will become the statutory development plan for Barnsley. It deals with Barnsley Town Centre and includes text previously set out in a stand alone document called the Town Centre Area Action Plan, and consulted upon in 2012. It establishes policies and proposals for the development and use of land up to the year 2033. It will be used when considering planning applications and to coordinate investment decisions that affect the towns, villages and countryside of Barnsley. 3.5 Neighbourhood plans are plans prepared by a Parish Council or Neighbourhood Forum for a particular neighbourhood area. They are intended to give direct power to communities to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and deliver the sustainable development they need. The ambition of the neighbourhood should be aligned with the strategic needs and priorities of the wider local area. Neighbourhood plans must be in general conformity 2 The Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) website has a handy guide to the planning system and explains plan making, and how you can get involved.
