The site is located at land on the Wentlooge Levels to the west of Hawse Lane, between the villages of St Brides and Peterstone. The grid connection hub is located within a central area of the site and would be well-screened by existing vegetation. It will sit alongside the battery storage area adjacent a large electricity pylon (132 KV pylon). The proposals will be temporary for a period of 40 years after which the site could be returned to its current condition, with a positive legacy of planting and landscape management retained for the benefit of the area. Sheep would be grazed between the panels while providing

    LDP Examination NCC Response Statement – Hearing Session 2

    Newport City Council Local Development Plan Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing 10am – Wednesday 2nd April 2014 Newport City Council – Hearing Session 2: Provision for Housing 1. Housing requirement - Is there a sound rationale for the identified housing requirement of 10,350 new homes over the Plan period? (i) Does the demographic and economic-led housing forecast ( SD55 NLP Assessment of Housing Requirements Paper ) provide a robust and credible basis for setting the Plan’s housing requirement? 1.1 Newport’s housing requirement level was identified using NLP’s HEaDROOM Assessment (SD55). NLP’s HEaDROOM Assessment has been utilised in over 120 authorities throughout the UK and has been found to be robust by Inspectors. 1.2 The HEaDROOM Assessment method tested 5 core scenarios which considered both demographic and economic factors. In addition to this, a range of sensitivity tests relating to unemployment, migration and the impact of the 2011 Census were also undertaken in order to provide a clear understanding of the ways in which alternative variables might impact upon the final dwelling requirement. 1.3 The HEaDROOM Assessment drew upon the latest information available and included consideration of cross-boundary issues. To ensure consistency within the LDP’s evidence- base the HEaDROOM Assessment utilised the same Experian economic forecasting which was used in the Employment Land Review (SD65). 1.4 The LDP’s housing requirement level is based upon an economic -led scenario and seeks to achieve an alignment with Newport’s positive economic growth strategy. In essence this approach seeks to recognise the economic realities at play and will help to ensure sufficient housing is provided to meet likely demand from those working in the area.
