These Regulations require that when a qualifying body (in this case, North Sunderland Parish Council) submit a neighbourhood development plan to the local planning authority, they must also provide a Consultation Statement. Regulation 15(2) describes what is required in a Consultation Statement. This states that a Consultation Statement must: contain details of the persons and bodies who were consulted about the proposed neighbourhood development plan; explain how they were consulted; summarise the main issues and concerns raised by the persons consulted; and describe how those issues and concerns have been considered and, where relevant, addressed in the proposed neighbourhood development plan. 1.2 This Consultation Statement sets out: the background to preparation of a neighbourhood development plan for the three parishes of North Sunderland, Beadnell and Bamburgh, known as the ‘North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan’; A timeline of the publicity, engagement and consultation that has helped to shape and inform preparation of the Plan; Details of those consulted about the Plan at the various stages of plan preparation and the extent to which efforts were made to ensure the Plan was prepared with support and input from the local community; and A description of the changes made to policies as the Plan emerged in response to the pre- submission (Regulation 14) consultation. These details specifically can be found in Appendix B. Examples of documents used for consultation, and the relevant analyses of those consultations 3 November 2017 North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan – Consultation Statement (November 2017) 1.3 The Statement concludes that the process and techniques involved in seeking community engagement and the outcomes achieved through preparing the Submission Draft Plan were extensive and appropriate to the purpose of the Plan. The extent of engagement is considered by the qualifying body to at least meet the obligations set out in the Regulations. The Consultation Statement supports and describes the process of plan making as envisaged through the Localism Act 2011 and the associated Regulations and sets out how it has been applied in the North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan. 1.4 The methods used and outcomes achieved from engagement have resulted in the submission of a plan that, in the opinion of the Parish Council, best meets community expectations expressed during the various stages of plan preparation. 4 November 2017 North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan – Consultation Statement (November 2017) 2.0 North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan – Background 2.1 Following discussions at Bamburgh, Beadnell and North Sunderland Parish Council meetings and with Northumberland County Council, Beadnell Parish Council facilitated a workshop for local councillors and members of the public who were interested to share ideas and become involved in the development of a joint Neighbourhood Plan. This was held on Wednesday 9 October 2013 at Beadnell W.I. 2.2 The meeting was chaired by County Councillor John Woodman and there were speakers from Northumberland County Council providing information on the background, process needed and likely time-table. 28 people, principally parish councillors from Bamburgh/Beadnell and North Sunderland, attended to discuss the implications of developing a neighbourhood plan covering the three parishes. 2.3 After an introduction to the idea and to the detail of neighbourhood plans the group discussed the issues that should be covered and the process for launching and managing the plan. The group was divided into four groups but the conclusions were remarkably similar. All the parish councils had agreed the North Northumberland Coastal Area Plan Steering group terms of reference and agreement to work together. North Sunderland was the qualifying body with approval from Bamburgh and Beadnell. The Parish Councils each selected 3 councillors to join a Steering Committee and the first meeting was held on 28 October 2013. 2.4 The Neighbourhood area was designated on 18th February 2014, and work commenced on the production of a Neighbourhood Plan. The Steering Group have been responsible in the most part for the preparation of the neighbourhood plan. 2.5 There have been regular reports back to each Parish Council, and approval sought from each Parish Council at key milestones throughout the Plan preparation. Membership has changed little over the 4 years since the Steering Group was established. 3.0 Consultation and Engagement Timeline 3.1 The Parish Council have consistently consulted all local businesses, community and voluntary organisations in the Parish, as well as residents and landowners during the plan production. In many cases, due to the size and rural nature of the Parish, the same people may be residents/business owners/voluntary group members. 3.2 It would not be appropriate to make the database of residents consulted available to the public through publication of this Consultation Statement due to data protection obligations. However, in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations, details of publicity undertaken about the plan are described in this Statement and details of all consultation bodies consulted during plan preparation are identified in Appendix A of this Statement. 3.3 The timeline of events in the preparation of the North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan are outlined below. 3.4 There have been various stages and methods of consultation, including the statutory Pre- Submission Consultation stage. There have been extra consultations with local businesses, landowners, and younger people in the parish as part of, and alongside these consultations. 5 November 2017 North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan – Consultation Statement (November 2017) 3.5 The whole process has taken just over 3 years from start to Draft Plan stage, and the timeline below covers each stage of consultation: 2014 – Launch Events 3.6 An initial Launch Event would be held on 21 January 2014 in Seahouses Sports and Community Centre and this was publicised through the Village News newsletter, produced by Seahouses Development Trust and distributed to 2000 households in the area, and the Parish Council meetings. Details also appeared in individual parish newsletters, on local noticeboards and in local shops. Display boards were produced for Beadnell Christmas Lights social evening and an A4, eye-catching, coloured leaflet was distributed to every house in the three parishes. 3.7 In addition to the main event held at Seahouses Sports and Community Centre on 21 January, 7pm -8pm there followed a series of drop-in events at Seahouses Methodist Church, Main Street, Seahouses, 28 January 10am – 3.30pm, Castle Inn, Bamburgh, 25 January 10am – 11am and Beadnell WI, 25 January 2pm – 3pm. At all of these there were similar displays and Steering Group members to explain the plan and how people could become involved and respond to the consultations. 3.8 A website was set up to provide information coastalnplan.blogspot.com and later a Facebook page and a Twitter account was used to publicise events and consultations. Local people were also encouraged to speak to their parish or county councillors or contact the group by email [email protected] or phone. 6 November 2017 North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan – Consultation Statement (November 2017) 3.9 Volunteers contact details and the roles they were interested in were recorded at all the initial meetings. These proved very useful later when the Steering Group were looking for people to deliver leaflets, experienced people to analyse statistics or to help write the plan. Displays at the events covered: Maps and census details of the Parishes of Beadnell, North Sunderland and Bamburgh Details of existing housing in the different Parishes The difference between a Neighbourhood Plan and a Parish Plan Consultation on where any future development should be and where should it not be What people like about living in the area What in your area could be improved? Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Policies 7 November 2017 North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood Plan – Consultation Statement (November 2017) 3.10 Approximately 120 residents attended the events. Photographs were taken of the interactive maps, comments were listed and Steering Group members who were present recorded their views and impressions immediately after the events to capture any other feedback or comments. 8 November 2017 North Northumberland Coast Neighbourhood

  • Northumberland Coast Designation History
    DESIGNATION HISTORY SERIES NORTHUMBERLAND COAST AONB Ray Woolmore BA(Hons), MRTPI, FRGS December 2004 NORTHUMBERLAND COAST AONB Origin 1. The Government first considered the setting up of National Parks and other similar areas in England and Wales when, in 1929, the Prime Minister, Ramsay Macdonald, established a National Park Committee, chaired by the Rt. Hon. Christopher Addison MP, MD. The “Addison” Committee reported to Government in 1931, and surprisingly, the Report1 showed that no consideration had been given to the fine coastline of Northumberland, neither by witnesses to the Committee, nor by the Committee itself. The Cheviot, and the moorland section of the Roman Wall, had been put forward as National Parks by eminent witnesses, but not the unspoilt Northumberland coastline. 2. The omission of the Northumberland coastline from the 1931 Addison Report was redressed in 1945, when John Dower, an architect/planner, commissioned by the Wartime Government “to study the problems relating to the establishment of National Parks in England and Wales”, included in his report2, the Northumberland Coast (part) in his Division C List: “Other Amenity Areas NOT suggested as National Parks”. Dower had put forward these areas as areas which although unlikely to be found suitable as National Parks, did deserve and require special concern from planning authorities “in order to safeguard their landscape beauty, farming use and wildlife, and to increase appropriately their facilities for open-air recreation”. A small-scale map in the Report, (Map II page 12), suggests that Dower’s Northumberland Coast Amenity Area stretched southwards from Berwick as a narrow coastal strip, including Holy Island, to Alnmouth.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

Our over- riding aim is to develop and support active and effective local councils. This requires local councils to be aware of local needs and concerns, and to find a way of addressing them, whether by taking direct action themselves or by encouraging others to take the lead. Local councils have unlimited powers to raise money by precepting on the Council Tax, and this is an opportunity which can be used enthusiastically but prudently to support local initiatives and services.
