We are seeking your comments on the proposals that have been put forward. The Allocations Document is a key part of the East Riding Local Plan (see below) and identifies specific sites and areas for development. When the final version of the Allocations Document is adopted following an Examination in Public (a type of public inquiry), it will be used to determine planning applications and guide investment decisions. The East Riding Local Plan 1.2 The East Riding Local Plan will provide the framework for managing development and addressing key planning issues. It is made up of a number of planning documents, known as Local Development Documents (LDDs): Strategy Document – sets the overall strategic direction for the Local Plan, setting policies to guide decisions on planning applications. Allocations Document – allocates sites for development (such as housing, retail, or industry) or protection (such as open space or land for transport schemes). Bridlington Town Centre Area Action Plan (AAP) – provides specific policies to guide development and contribute to the urban renaissance of Bridlington Town Centre. Joint Waste Plan and Joint Minerals Plan– these will set out the policies used to provide for future waste management needs and mineral extraction. They are being prepared jointly with Hull City Council to cover both authority areas. 1.3 A Policies Map will be published alongside these LDDs. This shows spatially, on a map, the policies of each LDD such as areas of open space or biodiversity assets, and the sites identified in the Allocations Document for particular land uses. Figure 1 illustrates the East Riding Local Plan structure and its relationship to other documents. 6 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Part One 1 Figure 1 East Riding Local Plan Structure 1.4 Once complete, the Local Plan will replace the existing planning policies that cover the East Riding. These are set out in the Joint Structure Plan for Hull and the East Riding (2005), the four Local Plans for the former boroughs of Beverley (1996), Boothferry (1999), East Yorkshire (1997) and Holderness (999), and the Joint Minerals and Waste Local Plans (2004). Appendix A lists those policies that will be superseded by the Allocations Document once it has been adopted. Other documents 1.5 The Local Plan will be supported by Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) that add further guidance regarding the interpretation and delivery of policies within the Strategy Document. These are not subject to independent testing and do not have 'Development Plan' status, but would be subject to consultation in accordance with Government regulations. In addition, some of the draft policies in this document refer to the need to prepare a Development Brief to provide more guidance on how a site should be developed. 1.6 The Council's Local Development Scheme (LDS) provides an outline of the various Local Plan documents and a timescale for their preparation. The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) sets out performance against local indicators and targets from the Local Plan. 1.7 A Town or Parish Council can prepare a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) and can set out a shared vision and planning policies for their area. Once adopted by the Council, NDPs form part of the statutory Development Plan, and would be used to make decisions on planning applications. East Riding of Yorkshire Council 7 1 Part One Document structure 1.8 This document should be read alongside the Strategy Document and Policies Map,which are also subject to public consultation at the same time as this document. The Allocations Document includes three main parts. 1.9 Part One sets out the context for the Allocations Document and how it fits in with the East Riding Local Plan. It outlines how the document has been prepared so far and how the sites were identified and assessed. Importantly, Chapter 4 provides details of how you can get involved and have your say. 1.10 Part Two describes the Settlement Network and Key Employment Sites, which are identified through the Strategy Document. These are the locations where sites for development will be allocated. This part also provides details on the approach proposed for sites that already have planning permission for new development, which are referred to as existing planning commitments. 1.11 Part Three sets out individual policies for the allocation of sites for housing, employment, retail and open space uses. Settlements are presented on a sub area basis and then broken down by their place in the Settlement Network. Each settlement follows a common structure with: An introduction providing a brief description of the settlement and its role that has been set out in the Strategy Document. A summary of the comments made through the previous public consultation exercise. Policies that identify the draft allocations and details of how the policy should be applied. Sites which have been considered but are rejected as allocations together with reasons why they have not been allocated. 1.12 In many instances, a high number of site options have been proposed and considered for each settlement. However, only a small number are required to meet the need for new development that is set out in the Strategy Document.

The first stage was the Potential Sites (May 2010) consultation, which provided a range of site options for consideration. No assessment or prioritisation of sites was made through that document. It attracted over 6,000 individual comments which have been considered in the preparation of this document. Which sites have been considered? 1.15 The sites presented in this document have come from a wide variety of sources. The majority were submitted to the Council by landowners and their agents or other organisations. These are known as 'land bids' and a specific request has been made to the Council to consider their merits for inclusion in the Allocations Document. Undeveloped allocations from the former Local Plans have also been re-considered through this document. 1.16 In addition, other sites have been identified from a range of studies and documents from the Local Plan's 'evidence base', including: The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) - its main purpose is to assess whether there is sufficient land for housing over the lifetime of the Local Plan. The Town Centres and Retail Study 2009 - has identified town centre sites that would help to meet the need for new retail development. The East Riding Infrastructure Study (2011) - has helped to identify potential transport schemes and interventions, as well as highlight the need for additional infrastructure such as new schools and flood alleviation schemes. Various local renaissance and regeneration documents, such as the Hornsea Seafront Investment Plan.
