    Chelmsford Local Plan Evidence Base Document Duty to Co-Operate Compliance Statement May 2018

    SD 010 Chelmsford Local Plan Evidence Base Document Duty to Co-operate Compliance Statement May 2018 Local Plan 1. Introduction 1.1 Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) are required under Section 110 of the Localism Act 2011 (which added section 33A of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004) to engage with relevant local authorities and specified bodies on strategic matters through the preparation of development plan documents (DPDs) and other activities in connection with strategic matters which affect more than one area. The duty requires ongoing constructive and active engagement on the preparation of development plan documents and other activities relating to the sustainable development and use of land in connection with strategic infrastructure. 1.2 Paragraphs 178-181 and 156 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) outline the relevant planning policy issues to be considered under the duty to co- operate. It states that ‘public bodies have a duty to co-operate on planning issues that cross administrative boundaries, particularly those which relate to the strategic priorities’. It also states that ‘Local planning authorities will be expected to demonstrate evidence of having effectively co-operated to plan for issues with cross-boundary impacts when their Local Plans are submitted for examination’ (Paragraph 181). 1.3 This Duty to Co-operate Compliance Statement accompanies the Submission of the Chelmsford Local Plan demonstrating that the requirements of the Duty have been met. It follows the suggested format contained in the August 2015 Planning Advisory Service Duty to Co-operate Statement Template. It sets out the strategic context for Chelmsford, the bodies relating to strategic issues and how the strategic approaches and policies have resulted from effective co-operation and joint working.

Hello and welcome to this month’s edition of VisionRayleighWickford. Has anyone else noticed it’s light at 4.30am these days? I reckon the demand for blackout blinds is right up there with England flags and disposable barbecues. While we’re doubtless all hugely frustrated by the extension to the current lockdown restrictions, we can at least rely on the day’s glorious wake-up call as light, air and energy come flooding into our homes. This is why I love the summer. The days feel impossibly long, the nights Nik Allen, Editor only give way to darkness as we’re thinking about bedtime, and each day feels full of optimism. For me, it’s the time of the year when I can change my habits, such as getting up as the sun rises in order to sample the peace and tranquillity. But the trick is to extend that positive frame of mind into other things - to go for a walk, to talk to the neighbours, to undertake new work targets and initiatives. Of course, we still have challenges, but the vaccine is here, the sun is out, and the sense is the world is opening up again with positivity and confidence, as fear ebbs away.
  • Chelmsford Local Plan Examination in Public

    Chelmsford Local Plan Examination in Public

    Chelmsford Local Plan Examination in Public _______________________________ Hearing Statement on behalf of Croudace Homes _______________________________ Week 1 Matter 5 – Spatial Strategy November 2018 AM-P Ref: 15024 Hearing Statement On behalf of Croudace Homes INTRODUCTION 1. This Hearing Statement has been prepared by Andrew Martin – Planning (AM-P) on behalf of Croudace Homes. 2. Croudace controls a total of 77.7 hectares (ha) of land to the north, east and south of Rettendon Place. Just under half of this land (approximately 38.3 ha), to the north and east of the settlement, is designated as “countryside” (rather than Green Belt) and is considered to have potential for development in the foreseeable future. Further details regarding the site and Croudace’s proposals for a sustainable new development can be found in the Planning Promotion Document at Appendix 1. 3. Despite featuring in two of Chelmsford City Council’s (CCC’s) three spatial options at the Local Plan Issues & Options (EB115) stage in 2015, the site was not included as a preferred growth location when CCC published its Local Plan Preferred Options (EB116) in 2017 or its Local Plan Pre-Submission document (SD001) in 2018. 4. This Hearing Statement supplements Croudace’s formal representations from March 2018 and considers the Inspector’s Issues and Questions in relation to Week 1 Matter 5 of the Examination. MATTER 5 – SPATIAL STRATEGY (Q.28) Does the proposed settlement hierarchy reflect the role and function of different settlements and is it justified by robust and up-to-date evidence? Should the hierarchy include smaller settlements (smaller villages and hamlets) within the Plan area? Would this approach be effective, justified and consistent with national policy? 5.
  • Have You Missed Me?

    Have You Missed Me?

    Have you missed me? Current situation …………………… Well, I’ve had a holiday from producing the AVN for a few months and I can’t promise that it will be back every month because it will depend on whether there is enough information to make delivery worthwhile. However, I have been able to put the AVN on the council website (minus advertisements) so at least it will be available for some villagers. To find it on-line, type in ……www.althorneparishcouncil.co.uk and scroll down until you reach the AVN symbol. There may be people who have left the village, but still keep in touch, and would be interested in knowing that the AVN is on-line, so please pass the word around. It doesn’t look as though anything will be returning to pre-coronavirus normal yet and with the cooler weather coming on we won’t have the advantage of being in the garden. We might have to be a bit inventive when it comes to keeping our morale up. Perhaps we can arrange an open air books and jigsaw puzzle stall. Any suggestions please? Please carry on trying to have a chat with a lonely neighbour and making sure that everyone in the village is OK. Now is your chance to perhaps thank friends and neighbours who have been kind and helpful during lockdown. Has anyone got any funny stories to cheer us up? I will kick this off by thanking Shaun and Mark for doing my shopping until I felt happy to do my own, for arranging a socially distanced afternoon tea for VE Day and for sneaking into my garden to arrange an Easter Egg hunt which cheered us up at a miserable time.

The networks are part of the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs). • At this stage we are only asking your views on the shape and extent of walking and cycling network of routes, not on specific infrastructure enhancements to improve safety and make it easier to walk or cycle. • There will be a further stage of consultation on specific schemes which will follow in early summer 2021. This stage of consultation is called Active Travel Fund (ATF) consultation. • We are really keen to hear your views on these proposed networks. We want to know if you think they are broadly correct. Are there any gaps or routes which you consider should be extended? Details of the proposed walking and cycling networks for Basildon, Braintree, Chelmsford and Colchester are included in this document Stage 3 Cycling and Stage 4 Walking. This LCWIP consultation should be seen as the first stage of a process to implement LCWIPs by Essex County Council. They ensure that a long-term approach can be taken to develop local cycling and walking networks, ideally over the next 10-year period, and form a vital part of the Government’s strategy to increase the number of trips made on foot or by cycle.

    Appendices for Leisure, Arts, Culture and Tourist Accommodation In

    APPENDICES Leisure, Arts, Culture and Tourist Accommodation in Basildon District and an Update of Prospects for Retail Sector Capacity For Basildon District Council APPENDIX 1 Appendix 1: Health Check Assessment: Introduction July 2010 ______________________________________________________________________________________ HEALTH CHECK ASSESSMENTS INTRODUCTION Planning Policy Statement 4 (PPS4) ‘Planning for Sustainable Economic Growth’ emphasises the need for the local authorities to monitor the ‘health’ of their town centres and how they change over time. It also indicates that town centres which benefit from higher levels of vibrancy and vitality foster a sense of civic pride and local identity and can contribute towards the aims of sustainable development. The health checks contained within this Appendix provide a ‘snap shot’ assessment of the vitality and viability of the main centres within Basildon District as of April 2008, in accordance with the then PPS6, but now updated to reflect the subtle changes that have appeared in PPS4. The health checks thereafter feed into a broader consideration of the function and performance of these centres and how they can be managed, through policy, to achieve appropriate outcomes. THE IMPORTANCE OF TOWN CENTRES The five centres of Basildon, Billericay, Wickford, Laindon and Pitsea form the focal point for the community and provide a hub for retail, employment, leisure, education, transport and civic activities. Since the late 1990’s, town centres nationally have witnessed high levels of vitality and viability with strong retail sales growth and the implementation of major town centre redevelopment schemes. Despite the ongoing growth of out-of-centre retail development there has been resurgence in development activity within established centres, primarily linked to the ambitious expansion plans of national department stores and key retailers such as Debenhams, Next, and Primark.
