Non-Technical Summary

Introduction

This Sustainability Appraisal (SA) Scoping Report forms the starting point for the SA process which will guide the preparation and assessment of the East Riding Local Plan. It will help to ensure that the SA for the Local Plan incorporates the requirements of Strategic Environment Assessment (SEA) and is proportionate and relevant.

The existing SA for the adopted Local Plan included a separate report and framework for each Local Plan document. The new SA framework will be used to inform all future Local Plan documents, except those relating only to minerals or waste management development.

What is SA?

SA is a systematic process that must be carried out during the preparation of a Local Plan. Its role is to promote sustainable development by assessing the extent to which the emerging Plan, when judged against reasonable alternatives, will help to achieve relevant environmental, economic and social objectives. Work on the SA should start at the same time that work starts on developing the Plan.

SA Methodology

The Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) splits the SA process into five stages (A-E). They are:

a) Set the context and objectives, establishing the baseline and deciding on the scope; b) Develop and refine alternatives and assess effects; c) Prepare the SA report; d) Seek representations on the SA report from consultation bodies and the public; and e) Post adoption reporting and monitoring.

This document represents Stage A, the scoping stage, of the process. It has been prepared following best practice and guidance which indicate that the East Riding SA Scoping Report should include:

 A review of relevant plans, programmes and policies;  Baseline information about the East Riding;  Identification of key issues and problems that can be affected by planning policies; and  A sustainability appraisal framework, including a review of the SA objectives and indicators used to assess the Local Plan.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council III Non-Technical Summary

Stage A1- Relationship with other Plans, Programmes and Policies

The Scoping Report provides information on:

 The relationship of the Local Plan with other plans, programmes and policies (PPP);  A summary of the sustainability objectives of the other PPP; and  How the other PPP will be taken into account in the preparation of the Local Plan.

Over 170 PPP have been reviewed, this has helped identify their objectives and targets so they can be reflected in the sustainability objectives of the SA Scoping Report. This should help to prevent conflict between proposals within the Local Plan and other relevant documents, and take advantage of any common objectives in the different documents.

Stage A2 – Baseline

Baseline information on the current state of the East Riding has been presented, focusing on a wide range of social, economic and environmental characteristics. This information has been collected to:

 Identify current baseline conditions in the area;  Find out trends in the data for the area;  Identify sustainability problems and opportunities;  Identify ways of dealing with problems and taking opportunities that exist in the area; and  Inform the development of the Local Plan and predict the likely effects resulting from its implementation.

Stage A3 – Sustainability Issues and Problems

Sustainability issues and problems in the East Riding have been identified from the review of relevant PPP and the baseline data. The issues and problems identified are:

1) Appropriate locations for development 2) High proportion of lower value jobs 3) Support local growth 4) Demand for new and improved infrastructure 5) Unbalanced demographic profile 6) Localised deprivation and social isolation 7) Meeting housing need and demand 8) Compatibility of different land uses 9) Poor accessibility in rural areas 10) Crime and fear of crime 11) Inequality in health and wellbeing 12) Greenhouse gas emissions

IV East Riding of Yorkshire Council Non-Technical Summary

13) Effective waste management 14) Large areas of best and most versatile land 15) Presence of contaminated land 16) Adaptation to climate change impacts, manage coastal change and reduce the risk of flooding 17) Potential of, and constraints on, renewable and low carbon energy 18) Impacts on landscape and built character 19) Pressure on biodiversity assets 20) Pressure on water quality 21) Pressure on greenfield land 22) Pressure on heritage assets

Stage A4 – SA Framework/Objectives

The development of the SA framework is the main output of the Scoping Report. It provides a way for the effects of the policies in the Local Plan and reasonable alternatives to be predicted and evaluated. This includes identifying the significance of any positive and negative effects for each alternative, and whether these effects would be either temporary or permanent.

The SA Framework consists of sustainability objectives which are measured against a series of indicators. These indicators will also be used to monitor the effects of the Plan. The new SA objectives are:

1) To improve levels of health, reduce health inequalities and encourage active lifestyles 2) To create an environment where people are and feel safe 3) To reduce social exclusion and improve equality of opportunity amongst social groups 4) To improve access to key centres, services, facilities and employment 5) To improve housing affordability and provide quality housing that meets the needs of everyone 6) To encourage more efficient use of land 7) To maintain or improve the quality of local water resources 8) To limit greenhouse gas emissions 9) To reduce the impacts of climate change 10) To protect and enhance biodiversity and important wildlife habitats, and to conserve geology 11) To protect and enhance the countryside and landscape quality 12) To conserve and enhance heritage assets and their settings 13) To protect and enhance the built character of existing settlements 14) To minimise the impact of new development on the amenity of the existing community and on existing land uses 15) To support growth of key economic sectors

East Riding of Yorkshire Council V Non-Technical Summary

16) To maintain and strengthen local employment opportunities 17) To support the renaissance of rural areas, towns and the city of Hull 18) To maintain and enhance the vitality and viability of town and district centres 19) To ensure new development is adequately served by infrastructure

Stage A5 – Consultation

Consultation is a key part of the SA process. Comments on the draft Scoping Report were sought from the statutory consultation bodies; Historic England, Environment Agency and Natural England. Parish and town councils, and duty to cooperate bodies (including neighbouring local authorities) were also invited to make representations. Responses were received from 18 organisations resulting in 74 comments. The Scoping Report has been amended following a review of these comments.

VI East Riding of Yorkshire Council Introduction 1

1 Introduction

1.1 This Sustainability Appraisal (SA) Scoping Report forms the starting point for the SA process which will guide the preparation and assessment of the East Riding Local Plan. It will help to ensure that the SA for the Local Plan incorporates the requirements of Strategic Environment Assessment (SEA) and is proportionate and relevant.

1.2 The SA for the adopted Local Plan included a separate report and framework for each Local Plan document. There were separate Scoping Reports for both the Strategy (March 2006) and Allocations (May 2010) Documents. This new SA Scoping Report is intended to update both of these documents resulting in one SA framework for the Local Plan. It considers the previous frameworks and amends them in light of new information, experience and best practice. As such, reference has been made to the SAs for the Local Plan Strategy Document and Local Plan Allocations Document. The new SA framework will be used to inform all future Local Plan documents, except those relating only to minerals or waste management developments which are being prepared jointly with Hull City Council.

1.3 This update has been prepared following best practice and guidance which is set out in:

 Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) – Strategic Environmental Assessment and Sustainability Appraisal (DCLG1, updated 2015)  A Practical Guide to the Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive (ODPM2, 2005) (the SEA Guidance)  Strategic Environmental Assessment: Improving the Effectiveness and Efficiency of SEA/SA for Land Use Plans (RTPI3, 2018)

1.4 These indicate that the East Riding Local Plan SA Scoping Report should include:

 A review of relevant plans, programmes and policies;  Baseline information about the East Riding;  Identification of key issues and problems that can be affected by planning policies; and  A draft sustainability appraisal framework, including a review of the SA objectives and indicators used to assess the Local Plan.

1.5 The purpose of this SA Scoping Report review is:

1. To determine whether the SA objectives for the Local Plan need to be amended in light of:

1 Department for Communities and Local Government 2 Office of the Deputy Prime Minister 3 Royal Town Planning Institute

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 1 1 Introduction

a) New and updated relevant plans, programmes and policies; b) New and updated baseline data; and c) Any changes to relevant sustainability issues and problems.

2. To align the SA framework for both the Strategy and Allocations Document to create a single SA framework that covers the whole Local Plan.

2 East Riding of Yorkshire Council The East Riding Local Plan 2

2 The East Riding Local Plan

2.1 In 2016, East Riding of Yorkshire Council adopted the East Riding Local Plan Strategy Document and Allocations Document. The Plan sets out a vision, objectives and a policy framework that will be used to guide future development and investment decisions in the East Riding. It addresses the needs of the area's local communities in relation to the provision of new housing, economic and employment opportunities, community facilities and supports the delivery of new infrastructure. This is considered alongside measures that safeguard the environment, adapt to climate change and secure good design. The Plan is also a critical tool in guiding decisions about individual development proposals, as the starting-point for considering whether planning applications should be approved.

2.2 To be effective Local Plans need to be kept up-to-date. The PPG (Paragraph: 008 Reference ID: 12-008-20140306) states that most Local Plans are likely to require updating in whole or in part at least every five years. In addition, the Local Plan Strategy Document (paragraph 5.20) identifies that a review of the Plan will take place by no later than 2020. The Local Development Scheme (2017-2020) identifies that the first consultation on the review will take place in 2018.

2.3 The SA for the adopted Local Plan was undertaken in distinct stages, one for the Strategy Document and one for the Allocations Document4. These two documents included different, although similar, SA frameworks. Through the update of the SA Scoping Report, a single new SA framework has been prepared for the Local Plan and will be used for any future review of the Plan. The SA Scoping Reports for the adopted Local Plan Strategy and Allocations Documents have acted as a starting point for this update.

4 A separate more locally specific SA was also prepared for the Bridlington Area Action Plan

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 3 3 Sustainability Appraisal Requirements

3 Sustainability Appraisal Requirements

What is Sustainability Appraisal?

3.1 An SA is a systematic process that must be carried out during the preparation of a Local Plan. Its role is to promote sustainable development by assessing the extent to which the emerging Plan, when judged against reasonable alternatives, will help to achieve relevant environmental, economic and social objectives. Section 19 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires a local planning authority to carry out an SA of each of the proposals in a Local Plan during its preparation. Work on the SA should start at the same time that work starts on developing the Plan.

3.2 In terms of the level of detail that is required, the SA should only focus on what is needed to assess the likely significant effects of the Local Plan. It should consider the environmental, economic and social impacts that are likely to be significant. This does not need to be done in any more detail, or using more resources, than is considered appropriate for the content and level of detail in the Local Plan.

When is a Sustainability Appraisal Required?

3.3 The local planning authority must carry out an appraisal of the sustainability of the proposals included within the Plan. This will help to assess how it will contribute to the achievement of sustainable development and applies to any document that will form part of the Local Plan.

3.4 The SA provides evidence for the Local Plan, helps test other evidence and supports the development of potential options. Its preparation is an iterative process that is revised at each stage of Local Plan production. Further details about the SA methodology are set out in Chapter 4 .

What is Strategic Environmental Assessment?

3.5 SAs incorporate the requirements of the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 (commonly referred to as the ‘Strategic Environmental Assessment Regulations’). These implement European Directive 2001/42/EC (known as the ‘Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive’) on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment. The aim of the Directive is ‘to contribute to the integration of environmental considerations into the preparation and adoption of plans and programmes with a view to promoting sustainable development, by ensuing that, in accordance with this Directive, an environmental assessment is carried out of certain plans and programmes which are likely to have significant effects on the environment.’ This SA Scoping Report incorporates SEA and ensures that potential environmental effects are given full consideration alongside social and economic issues.

4 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Sustainability Appraisal Requirements 3

3.6 The PPG5 includes a checklist for meeting the requirements of the SEA Directive when preparing a Local Plan. This has been partially completed through the preparation of the Scoping Report and is set out in Appendix A.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 5 4 Sustainability Appraisal Methodology

4 Sustainability Appraisal Methodology

4.1 The PPG6 includes a flow chart for the SA process which sets out the relationship with the preparation of the Local Plan and is replicated in Figure 1 (below). This report represents Stage A, the scoping stage, of the process. Each sub stage (A1 to A5) is completed in a separate chapter throughout the remainder of this document. The scoping stage must identify the scope and level of detail of the information to be included in the SA report. Its key aim is to help ensure that the SA process is proportionate and relevant to the Local Plan proposals being assessed.

6 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Stage A1 – Relationship with other Plans, Programmes and Policies 5

5 Stage A1 – Relationship with other Plans, Programmes and Policies

5.1 The Scoping Report provides information on:

 The relationship of the Local Plan with other plans, programmes and policies (PPP);  A summary of the sustainability objectives of the other PPP; and  How the other PPP will be taken into account in the preparation of the Local Plan.

5.2 The Local Plan will affect, and be affected by, a range of PPP both from within and outside of the East Riding. Reviewing the relevant PPP has helped identify their objectives and targets so they can be reflected in the sustainability objectives of the SA Scoping Report. This should help to prevent conflict between proposals within the Local Plan and other relevant documents, and take advantage of any common objectives in the different documents.

5.3 Since the SA for the adopted Local Plan was undertaken, a number of PPP have been updated, replaced or become out of date. A comprehensive review has been undertaken of the PPP that are currently considered relevant to the Local Plan, which are presented in Appendix B.

5.4 The SEA Guidance 7 recognises that no list of plans or programmes can be definitive. As a result, this report describes only the key documents that may influence the Local Plan. The most important PPP for the Local Plan are the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), PPG and a number of local evidence base studies.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 7 6 Stage A2 - Baseline Information

6 Stage A2 - Baseline Information

6.1 The SA process requires the collection of baseline information focusing on the social, economic and environmental characteristics of East Riding of Yorkshire. This information is collected in order to:

 Identify current baseline conditions in the area;  Find out trends in the data for the area;  Identify sustainability problems and opportunities;  Identify ways of dealing with problems and opportunities that exist in the area; and  Inform the development of the Local Plan and predict the likely effects resulting from its implementation.

6.2 This chapter provides baseline information on the current state of the East Riding. The sources of all data referred to in this chapter are set out in Appendix C.

Baseline Key Features

6.3 The East Riding is located in the Yorkshire and Humber Region and covers an area of approximately 240,770 hectares (approximately 930 square miles), making it one of England’s largest Unitary Authorities (UA) by area. It is very diverse with four distinct types of area: the coastal strip (85 kilometres long), the Humber Estuary, the Wolds and the hinterlands of the major urban areas of Hull and York.

6.4 The largest town is Bridlington with a population of 35,000 people. The other major settlements are Beverley, Goole, Driffield and the ‘Haltemprice’ settlements to the west of the City of Hull; Cottingham, Anlaby/Willerby/Kirk Ella and Hessle. However, a large proportion of the population lives in rural communities which by their nature are scattered and more geographically isolated.

6.5 East Riding is bounded by: the North Sea to the east; North Yorkshire County (with its constituent District Councils of Scarborough, Ryedale and Selby), the unitary authority of York to the north and the metropolitan district of Doncaster to the west; and North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire to the south, across the Humber Estuary. It also encircles Kingston upon Hull. The location of the East Riding in the wider context of England can be seen in Figure 2 The Context of the East Riding. The Local Plan Key Diagram (Figure 3) below sets out key areas of housing and employment growth identified in the adopted Local Plan, as well as areas of environmental significance.

Social Indicators

Population

6.6 The estimated population of the East Riding is 337,700 (2016 mid-year estimate) and has increased by 7.51 per cent since the 2001 Census. This reflects a slower rate of population growth when compared with England as a whole, which has increased by 12.47 per cent.

6.7 Two major features of the East Riding of Yorkshire population are reflected in its geographical distribution and age profile:

 As a predominantly rural area, the population density is significantly lower in the East Riding (140.5 people per km2) than the Yorkshire and Humber (352.3 per km2) and England (424.2 per km2) averages.  24.9 per cent of the population in the East Riding is aged 65 and over, which has risen by 23.5 per cent since 2001. This is much higher than the increase in the regional (9.5 per cent) and national (10.9 per cent) figure, and may be due to the high levels of people over 65 moving to the area on retirement. There was a net in-migration of 370 people aged 65 and over moving to the East Riding in 2015-16. Across the region as whole, there was a net increase as a result of migration of just 60 people aged 65 and over.

6.8 Both of these factors could have an impact on the economy and the housing market of the East Riding.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.9 Numerous policies in the existing Local Plan encourage a diverse population, by providing a mix of housing (Policy H1), for example for first time buyers and older people, and providing employment opportunities (Policy EC1). Regardless of such policies, it is expected that the population will continue to age and grow at a slower rate than the region or nation, and population density will remain low.

Housing

6.10 The 2011 Census data identified that across the East Riding the average household size is 2.3 people, which is consistent with the regional and national average. According to the ratio of house price to residence based earnings study carried out by the Office for National Statistics, average house prices in the East Riding have risen by 14 per cent in the past five years. This is consistent with the rest of the Yorkshire and Humber region, but lower than the 22 per cent increase seen nationwide. House prices are higher in the Beverley, Hull Borders and Wolds Housing Market Sub-areas, compared to the Holderness, Goole and Bridlington Housing Market Sub-areas.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 11 6 Stage A2 - Baseline Information

6.11 As house prices have increased, homes have become less affordable. In 2011, households would have to earn around 5.8 times the average annual income to be able to afford a home at the lower end (lower quartile) of the market. This had risen to around 6.43 times the average annual income by 2016.

6.12 Average monthly rental costs in the East Riding are consistent with those of the region, but below those of England as whole. They are much higher in the Beverley, Hull Borders and Wolds Housing Market Sub-areas, compared to the Holderness, Goole and Bridlington Housing Market Sub-areas. Whilst rents have risen across the country, the rate of change is higher in the East Riding at nine per cent since 2012, compared with 7.6 per cent across the Yorkshire and Humber region.

6.13 In the East Riding, there is a much higher proportion of larger homes compared with the country as a whole. This is evident by the high number of detached dwellings (34 per cent) and those properties with four or more bedrooms (23.6 per cent). There are fewer smaller properties, such as terraced dwellings (19.9 per cent) and flats (9.9 per cent), as well as those with only one bedroom (6.5 per cent).

6.14 There is also a much higher proportion of home ownership compared with the rest of the country. A significantly higher number of homes are owned outright in the East Riding and there are far fewer rental properties, both private and social rented.

6.15 The East Riding of Yorkshire Strategic Housing Market Assessment 2016-2021 (SHMA) highlights an ongoing need for affordable housing. It identifies that 596 affordable properties need to be delivered annually over a five-year period to meet the backlog and address the arising need for affordable housing. In terms of social housing, 7,000 households are on the Council’s Housing Register, of which 2,183 are in housing need.

6.16 There are currently 66 gypsy and traveller pitches on Council owned sites in the East Riding. This includes 20 pitches at the Westfield Road, Eppleworth site (Cottingham), 22 pitches at the Woldgate site (Bridlington) and 24 pitches at the Woodhill Way site (Cottingham). There are also three authorised private sites in the East Riding with a total of 10 pitches. One site is located in Barmby Moor, one is located in Keyingham and one is located in Snaith/Pollington.

6.17 The relationship between the East Riding and Hull is evident in the migration flows between the two areas. The SHMA reported that 10.3 per cent of moves to the East Riding originated from Hull. This is much higher in comparison with other nearby cities, for example 2.2 per cent from York and 1.9 per cent from Leeds.

6.18 This is also reflected in the gross migration flows, as expressed per 1,000 head of combined population, which are based on ONS 2015 mid-year population estimates

12 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Stage A2 - Baseline Information 6

and annual internal migration statistics. Strategically, the strength of the relationship between East Riding and Hull is evident with 7,945 gross flows per annum (equivalent to 13.34 per 1,000 head of population).

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.19 The Local Plan supports the focus of higher levels of housing growth within Hull. This seeks to reduce population loss from the city into the East Riding and support ongoing housing-led regeneration and investment within the city. It is reflected in the scale and distribution of housing growth set out in Policy S5 of the Local Plan. Without such a policy approach there would be continued high levels of out- migration from Hull which would result in less sustainable patterns of growth across the wider housing market area and detrimentally impact on the city's regeneration priorities.

6.20 If the Council is unable to demonstrate a five year housing land supply, speculative housing development would be likely to take place on an unplanned basis, potentially resulting in a less sustainable pattern of development. It may not meet local needs and the cost of housing could continue to rise and become less affordable. Existing policies to support the delivery of affordable housing, and mix of housing are in place and must continue to be applied.

Education

6.21 It is vital that the capacity of primary and secondary schools are monitored to ensure that they can support additional school places created by new development. Evidence supporting the Local Plan indicates a shortfall in primary school places but a surplus in secondary school places.

6.22 These predictions are supported by the School Capacity report for 2016-17. This reports school capacity, pupil forecasts and the number of new places for which local authorities have firm plans for delivery. There is a forecasted fall in primary school pupils, and a small one per cent rise in secondary school pupils. This reflects the older demographic of the East Riding, compared to the rest of the region and country. As a proportion of the total number of places, 12.6 per cent of the total primary school places are unfilled and 24.1 per cent of secondary school places are unfilled.

6.23 Despite the low forecast of pupil growth, the East Riding has firm plans for an increase of 840 places between 2017-18 and 2019-2020. This is an increase of two per cent and is in line with the forecasted growth in pupil places across the country.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 13 6 Stage A2 - Baseline Information

6.24 A number of allocations in the East Riding Local Plan require additional provision of pupil places. The Infrastructure Delivery Plan forms the starting point for assessing infrastructure needs, including school provision, in each area as well as for individual development proposals. Without such a plan and policies, education facilities may not be provided alongside developments where they are needed. There could be a potential mismatch between supply and demand for education. In addition, people with required skills may not be attracted to the area which would hinder future economic growth.

Crime

6.25 There was a 17 per cent increase in crime in the East Riding between 2016 and 2017, which was higher than the increase recorded nationally or regionally. This is a significant increase when compared with the five year increase of 5.9 per cent in the total number of criminal offences. Across England and Wales, the number of offences (excluding fraud) has risen by 10.6 per cent. While the crime rate has increased in the past five years in the East Riding, it has been a slower rate when compared with the region and country as a whole. However, the crime rate remains much lower in the East Riding than across the Yorkshire and Humber region and nationally. The highest increase in crime was in violence without injury, sexual offences and public order offences.

6.26 The perception of crime in the Humberside Police Force Area is fairly consistent with England as a whole. 10 per cent of the population perceive a high level of anti- social behaviour, while 31 per cent of the population has experienced anti-social behaviour. This data is only available for the whole of the Humberside Police Force area, which also includes Kingston Upon Hull and North and North East Lincolnshire.

6.27 The Indices of Deprivation 2015 (ID 2015) (see following section) includes indices for crime. Areas of Bridlington and Withernsea are among the 10 per cent most deprived areas in the country in terms of crime, taking into account burglary, theft, criminal damage and violence. Other areas with a higher level of crime include parts of Goole and Cottingham, which are among the 20 per cent most deprived areas in the country in terms of this measure.

6.28 The East Riding Local Plan references ‘secured by design principles’. The Development Award is a certificate given to building developments which, following consultation with local police designing out crime officers, are built to Secured by Design guidelines and so reduce the opportunity for crime. This Award acknowledges the physical and environmental security measures that have been put in place within a development or building and is based on the guidance documents created by Secured by Design. In 2016-17, 43,348 dwellings and 153 commercial developments were issued with awards nationally. Prior to 2015, 18 awards were

14 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Stage A2 - Baseline Information 6

issued in the East Riding. However, since 2015, no awards have been issued in the East Riding.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.29 Policy ENV1 of the existing East Riding should continue to be applied, which supports developments which minimise crime and the perception of crime. Without such a policy developments may be designed in such a way which could increase the perception of crime and in some case, the rate of crime may also increase.

Deprivation

6.30 The Indices of Deprivation 2015 (ID 2015) is a measure of multiple deprivation at Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) level. They contain seven domains which relate to Income Deprivation, Employment Deprivation, Health Deprivation and Disability, Education, Skills and Training Deprivation, Barriers to Housing and Services, Living Environment Deprivation and Crime. There are 13 areas within the East Riding in the 10 per cent most deprived LSOAs in the country, which are located in Bridlington, Withernsea and Goole. The most deprived area in the East Riding is ranked 85th out of 32,844 LSOAs in England (where one is most deprived and 32,844 is the least deprived).

6.31 The East Riding has 43 LSOAs in the 10 per cent least deprived category (20 per cent of the East Riding’s total). This includes six in Beverley Rural, one in Cottingham North, seven in Dale, one in Driffield and Rural, one in Hessle, three in Minster and Woodmansey, three in Pocklington Provincial, six in St. Mary’s, six in South Hunsley, one in Tranby and eight in Willerby and Kirk Ella.

6.32 When considering the East Riding’s average score, the area is ranked 195th of 326 local authorities (where one is the most deprived and 326 is the least deprived). However, in 2007 East Riding was ranked 232nd, which means that the level of deprivation in the East Riding is getting worse when it is compared to other local authorities.

6.33 There are considerably higher levels of deprivation in Kingston upon Hull which is important to consider when looking at cross-boundary issues. A number of the most deprived areas of Hull share a boundary with the East Riding, in particular Orchard Park and Bransholme to the north of Hull and Marfleet, Greatfield, Longhill and Bilton Grange to the east of Hull.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.34 There are a number of policies in the existing East Riding Local Plan which seek to reduce deprivation and isolation which should continue to be applied. Without

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 15 6 Stage A2 - Baseline Information

these, the gap between the most and least deprived areas may continue to grow. Development would not be targeted at those deprived areas in need of regeneration. If the East Riding did not have a plan-led five year housing land supply, higher levels of development may be focused on high demand/value areas in the East Riding part of the Hull Housing Market Area. This could result in investment being directed out of the city and hinder the delivery of the Hull Local Plan.

Health and Wellbeing

6.35 The 2011 Census shows that the health of 35 per cent of the area's population is considered ‘good’, and just four per cent is considered ‘not good’, which is in line with the figures for the region and England. The percentage of households with one person with a limiting long-term illness or disability is also in line with the region and England average at around 25 per cent. The percentage of physically inactive adults is slightly higher than the national figure at 26 per cent, which may be due to the higher proportion of older people.

6.36 There is, however, some inequality in the East Riding in terms of health. Five LSOA’s are in the 10 per cent most deprived nationally on health indices, four of which are in Bridlington, and one in Withernsea. Meanwhile, 29 LSOA’s are in the 10 per cent least deprived nationally. The location of these LSOA’s correspond with the least and most deprived set out in the previous section.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.37 Policy ENV1(B6) supports developments that have regard to healthy lifestyles. Without such a policy, section 8 of the NPPF would continue to apply, which promotes healthy communities through, for example, the provision of open space and recreational opportunities.

Economic Indicators

6.38 There have been four Functional Economic Areas identified in the East Riding and wider region: Bridlington & Wolds, Goole & Selby, Hull and York (East). These can be seen in Figure 4 below.

16 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Stage A2 - Baseline Information 6

Figure 4 Functional Economic Areas

6.39 The Draft East Riding Economic Strategy (2018-2022) identifies that the East Riding's economy is relatively diverse and has seen a sustained economic growth since 2012. It also sets out a number of challenges in the East Riding economy, including low productivity, small business growth, below average earnings and skill shortages in some sectors. The two largest sectors in the East Riding in terms of Gross Value Added (GVA) are the ‘Distribution, Transport, Accommodation and Food’, which includes the tourism, and ‘Public Administration; Education and Health’ sectors.

6.40 Productivity, as recorded by GVA, measures how well resources are combined to produce goods and services and is important as it adds value, which in turn pushes up wages and contributes to a higher standard of living. The East Riding economy grew by £469 million (8.5 per cent) over the period 2010 to 2015, which is lower than the regional and national averages of 12.8 per cent and 19.4 per cent respectively. However, the GVA by full time equivalent fell between 2010 and 2015. The GVA by full-time equivalent in Hull is slightly lower than the East Riding.

6.41 The challenge for the East Riding is to understand the area's strengths and how to create more from the resources that are available and reduce the productivity 'gap' that exists compared to the region and England. However, across other measures the East Riding performs relatively well. Just 3.8 per cent of the working age population is unemployed, and one per cent of the population claim Jobseeker’s

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 17 6 Stage A2 - Baseline Information

Allowance (JSA), compared with 1.5 per cent regionally.

6.42 Seven wards in the East Riding have a higher proportion of JSA claimants than the East Riding as a whole. These are Bridlington South, Goole South, Goole North, Bridlington Central and Old Town, South East Holderness, Minster and Woodmansey and North Holderness.

6.43 Job density is lower in the East Riding than the regional average, due to the rural character of the area. However, significant progress has been made in recent years with a net increase of almost 10,000 private sector jobs between 2012 and 2015. Just under half of the workforce is employed within the East Riding, while 30,248 people commute into the area from other local authorities. In total 55,563 people commute out of the East Riding for employment (33,138 people commute to Kingston Upon Hull, 5,464 to York and 2,524 to Selby) resulting in a net out- commuting of 25,315 people.

6.44 The rate of new active enterprises is slower than the rest of the region and nationally. This is based on active businesses, new registrations for VAT and PAYE (births), cessation of trading (deaths), and duration of trading (survival rates). Enterprise survival rates are higher in the East Riding than the Yorkshire and Humber region and nationally at 93.6 per cent after the first year, and at 77.1 per cent after the second year. By the third year, survival rates between the East Riding, Yorkshire and the Humber region and England begin to converge.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.45 The East Riding economy is tied to a number of issues that are not all effected by planning and are largely related to national economic changes. A range of policies in the existing Local Plan seek to support the growth and diversification of the East Riding economy. Without such policies in the revised Plan, investment may be lower and there would be less emphasis on the growth of particular sectors or safeguarding land for employment uses. For example, land with links to the ports or rail network may not be available. New businesses may be located in unsustainable locations where people would have to use unsustainable modes of transport to access jobs.

Town Centres

6.46 Vacancy rates are good indicators of the economic health and performance of Town and District Centres. The vacancy rate of units in the East Riding’s Town and District Centres has dropped between the years 2014 and 2017. There are variations between the different settlements; Goole and Bridlington have quite high vacancy rates compared to the average, while Elloughton cum Brough, Hedon and Pocklington have extremely low vacancy rates.

18 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Stage A2 - Baseline Information 6

6.47 The proportion of retail and non-retail uses within the Primary Shopping Frontage is monitored in order to secure a balance between retail (A1 use class) and non- retail town centre uses (A2, A3, B1a and D2 use classes). The East Riding Local Plan Strategy Document seeks to retain a proportion of retail uses in the main shopping areas. It states that proposals will be supported where the proportion of non-retail (A1) commercial uses within the Primary Shopping Frontages represents approximately no more than:

 25 per cent of a Primary Shopping Frontage within a Town Centre; and  33 per cent of a Primary Shopping Frontage with a District Centre.

6.48 In 2017, all four of Town Centres exceeded the proportion of non-retail commercial uses within the Primary Shopping Frontages. Seven out of nine District Centres met or exceeded the 33 per cent threshold in 2016-17.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.49 Policy EC3 of the existing Local Plan supports the vitality and viability of town centres, and should continue to be applied. The proportion of non-retail uses within the Primary Shopping Frontage may reduce, as would the Primary Shopping Area, within some town centres. Vacancy rates in town centres may increase as focusing retail uses in town centres would be less of a priority.

Minerals

6.50 The draft 2017 Local Aggregates Assessment (LAA) (2015 data) identifies that there are currently six active sand and gravel quarry sites and six active crushed rock (chalk) quarry sites in the East Riding. The area has significant deposits of a wide range of other minerals, of which the most important are industrial grade chalk, clay, and silica sand. There are also potential sources of oil, gas and coal in the East Riding.

6.51 East Riding Local Plan Policy EC6 seeks to protect mineral resources by designating Mineral Safeguarding Areas. Since 2013, 173 applications were granted in a Minerals Safeguarding Area that did not meet the exemption criteria listed in Policy EC6. During 2016-17, 313 applications were granted in a Minerals Safeguarding Area, of which 78 applications (25 per cent) did not meet the exemption criteria. A large proportion of applications consisted of the erection of a dwelling or agricultural buildings.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.52 Policy EC6 of the existing Local Plan seeks to protect minerals resources and should continue to be applied. Without such a policy more development could take place that sterilises minerals resources that may be needed in the future.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 19 6 Stage A2 - Baseline Information

Travel and Transport

6.53 The volume of traffic is steadily increasing in the East Riding (7.7 per cent in the past five years), and at a faster rate than the rest of the region (5.4 per cent) and England (6.4 per cent). Increases in traffic are outstripping background growth and on some routes (A1079, Barmby Moor) is close to nine per cent over the 2013- 2017 period.

6.54 The Local Plan set out a requirement for new development to produce a transport assessment and travel plan, where a significant transport impact is likely. In 2016-17, five Travel Plans were approved for schemes, which is 100 per cent of schemes which required a Travel Plan.

6.55 The East Riding is a largely rural area, which has inevitably led to a reliance on the private car as a mode of transport. This is evident by the proportion of people who drive to work (74.05 per cent) compared to the rest of the region (36.44 per cent) and England (34.92 per cent).

6.56 There is access to public transport across the East Riding, although the reduction in supported bus services has left an increasing area of the East Riding without any public transport options. A regular rail service runs from Beverley, north to Bridlington and south to Hull, with connections west to Manchester, Sheffield and beyond.

6.57 Travel times are longer on public transport in the East Riding, compared with Yorkshire and the Humber and England averages. It takes, on average, 13 minutes to walk or take public transport to the nearest employment centre, and just 70.5 per cent of service users are within 15 minutes of an employment centre, compared to 86.4 per cent across the region. This is also the case with walking and public transport access to primary schools, with just 81.6 per cent of the population within 15 minutes of a primary school by public transport or walking. This may be one of the reasons why there are just 18.1 passenger journeys per head (per year) on local bus services in the East Riding, compared with 82.7 nationally. This will be due to the East Riding being a largely rural area with a large number of small settlements that are not served, or have very limited connections, by public transport.

6.58 The East-West rail, water, and road Multi-Modal Transport Corridor is part of the wider Trans-European E20 corridor, and links together the Key Employment Sites at Hedon Haven, Bridgehead (Hessle), Melton and Goole.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.59 Policy EC4 of the existing local plan seeks to enhance sustainable transport and Policy C1 seeks to provide infrastructure. Without such policies it would be more

20 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Stage A2 - Baseline Information 6

difficult to coordinate and integrate land use and transport and maximise the benefits of development in strategic locations. Opportunities for sustainable methods of transport may not be recognised and developments that increase traffic may take place without adequate mitigation measures.

Environmental Indicators

Air Quality and Renewable and Low Carbon Energy

6.60 The latest Air Quality Updating and Screening Assessment (USA) for East Riding of Yorkshire Council was published in 2015. Four diffusion tube monitoring locations are identified by the report where the annual mean nitrogen dioxide (NO2) objective was exceeded. Three of the sites have not triggered the requirement to designate as an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) as their annual mean concentrations are below the national target of no more than 40μgm-3. At the time of the report, the fourth location was adjacent to one of the main routes from Hull into Beverley town centre. The new Beverley Southern Relief Road has since opened which was considered likely to result in air quality improvement; therefore it has not been designated as an AQMA.

6.61 Total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in the East Riding reduced by 19.35 per cent between 2005 and 2015. This rate of reduction is slower when compared to Yorkshire and Humber (-26.74 per cent) and England (-24.95 per cent) averages. The biggest source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the East Riding is from industry and commercial uses (1514.45 kt CO2), followed by transport (792.41 kt CO2) and then domestic properties (636.47 kt CO2). In total, East Riding of Yorkshire produces more CO2 emissions per 1000 people, when compared to the regional or national averages.

6.62 At the end of 2016, the East Riding had a total installed capacity of 499.4 MW of renewable electricity. Almost 80 per cent of this is from onshore wind (397.26 MW). According to RenewableUK, East Riding of Yorkshire has the highest density of wind turbines operating in the Yorkshire and Humber region. The East Riding Annual Monitoring Report 2016-17 reported a fall in the number of planning application approvals for wind turbines, however there was a significant increase of 34 per cent in overall additional operational renewable capacity.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.63 There are a number of policies in the existing Local Plan that seek to improve air quality, such as EC4 and ENV5. Without such policies, development that increases air pollution could potentially take place, for example through increased traffic, without any mitigation measures being required. A reduction in air quality in some areas may result in AQMAs being implemented.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 21 6 Stage A2 - Baseline Information

6.64 Policy EC5 of the existing Local Plan supports the energy sector, including renewable and low carbon energy development. Without this policy, such developments would not be encouraged. It could contribute to a reliance on fossil fuels and a lack of fuel security, as well as a potentially impacting on the local economy which places importance on the renewables sector. Lack of support for the sector could contribute to global warming and increases in extreme weather events.

6.65 The impacts of renewable and low carbon energy developments may not be fully considered, resulting in inappropriate development that may impact on, for example, amenity and landscape value.

Waste and Contaminated Land

6.66 The East Riding has the highest household recycling and composting rates in the country (65.4 per cent). It has significantly higher recycling rate than the region and England as a whole, in terms of both household and municipal waste. However, the East Riding rate has fallen for the first time since 2000 in the past year, while it has continued to rise regionally and nationally.

6.67 As of May 2015 there was a remaining landfill capacity of 7,770,080m3 in the East Riding. The Environment Agency reports the latest number of waste facilities and the most common waste facility in the East Riding are treatment facilities. When compared with the facilities reported in the 2004 Joint Waste Plan (data from April 2002), it shows that the number of waste facilities has not significantly altered between those two dates. However, the way that sites are classified and the waste is dealt with has changed. Most notable is the decrease from 30 landfill sites in 2002 to nine in 2016.

6.68 Three sites in the East Riding are included on the Contaminated Land Public Register. These are sites which have been formally determined as contaminated and a remediation notice has been issued. It does not relate to sites that are potentially contaminated due to a previous use. Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (‘Part 2A’) makes it a statutory duty for every local authority to inspect its area from time to time to identify contaminated land. To date the Council has identified over 32,000 sites of potentially contaminated land, based solely on potential sources of contamination from current or historic land-use.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.69 The Joint Waste Plan will have a more significant impact on waste issues. However, developing in sustainable locations is likely to support waste management. Without relevant Local Plan policies there could be increased development in less sustainable locations which reduces the efficiency of kerbside waste collections and

22 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Stage A2 - Baseline Information 6

use of household waste recycling facilities. In addition, contaminated land would not be prioritised for development and remediated.

Rights of Way

6.70 There is a statutory duty on East Riding of Yorkshire Council to look after the public rights of way network. The percentage of rights of way open and available for use rose from 50 per cent in 2015-16 to 76 per cent in 2016-17, exceeding the target of 75 per cent.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.71 Policy S8 of the existing Local Plan looks to connect people and places, including by enhancing and protecting Public Rights of Way. Without such a policy, development could take place without making provision for new or enhanced Public Rights of Way.

Natural Environment

6.72 The East Riding has a rich and varied biodiversity that is nationally and internationally important and gives the area its sense of place. As such, a number of areas and sites have been given statutory protection, by both national and international legislation. These sites have been set out in Table 1 below. The total area of each site has been given, however some designations overlap (e.g. Lower Derwent Valley) and sites may extend beyond the boundary of the East Riding (e.g. The Greater Wash SPA).

6.73 There are several European sites which are part way through the designation process; however these have the same policy protection under UK law as formally designated sites:

24 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Stage A2 - Baseline Information 6

 Flamborough and Filey Coast pSPA  Southern North Sea cSAC

6.74 The condition of the SSSI land in England is assessed by Natural England. There are six reportable condition categories: favourable; unfavourable recovering; unfavourable no change; unfavourable declining; part destroyed and destroyed. Of the 50 SSSIs in the East Riding, 95.91 per cent are in favourable or recovering condition. No sites have been assessed to be ‘partially destroyed’ or ‘destroyed’. The condition of each SSSI is assessed for each unit and there are often several units on each SSSI. Those sites where the majority of the area of the site is ‘unfavourable - no change’ or ‘unfavourable – declining’ are:

 Beckhead Plantation (lack of regeneration has not been addressed)  Hoddy Cows Spring (site is chronically under grazed and needs investigation in hydrology and water quality)  Hornsea Mere (this unit fails on water quality and abundance of filamentous algae)  Newbald Becksies (Full Common Standards Monitoring not carried out. Bryophyte survey undertaken in Jan 2017)  Pocklington Canal (assessment largely based 2007 survey. This indicated continuing decline in macrophyte diversity. Reasons for this not clear cut.)

6.75 The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) define Local Sites as 'sites designated locally for their substantive nature conservation importance, either for wildlife or geology'. LWS are present within all areas of the East Riding and represent a comprehensive network of sites of substantive nature conservation value. There are 229 designated LWS in the East Riding (as of August 2017). Some may be deleted from the register and other new sites added following survey and consideration. There are also 13 Local Nature Reserves in the East Riding, examples include Danes Dyke, Eastrington Ponds and Howden Marsh.

6.76 Sites in positive conservation management are defined as those sites which are being managed in order to conserve their nature conservation interest. As of 31 March 2016, 34 per cent of Local Sites were in active management, with no change from the previous year. The East Riding of Yorkshire Biodiversity Action Plan (ERYBAP) (2010) is prepared and implemented by the East Riding of Yorkshire Biodiversity Partnership. It identifies Biodiversity Priority Areas (Figure 5), which are broad habitat networks.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 25 6 Stage A2 - Baseline Information

Figure 5 Biodiversity Priority Areas

6.77 A number of ‘blue-green’ infrastructure features and corridors were identified in the Local Plan Strategy Document (2016). Blue-green infrastructure incorporates a broad range of features and functions (e.g. landscape including rivers and other water bodies, heritage, and recreational assets) and is based on the idea that these provide important services and benefits (i.e. as with other infrastructure) that enable economies, communities, and the environment to thrive. The services and benefits derived from blue-green infrastructure that are particularly important to the East Riding include climate change adaptation, flood attenuation, habitat provision, place making and urban regeneration, contribution to local character, and improving access to nature and recreation (particularly between urban areas and the surrounding countryside). The National Character Area profiles8 set out the ecosystem services provided in each of the areas. These have been summarised in Table 2.

Figure 6 Blue/Green Infrastructure Corridors

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.79 Policies ENV4 and ENV5 in the existing Local Plan look to conserve biodiversity and geodiversity and strengthen blue/green infrastructure respectively. Without such policies, unplanned development would increase the potential of direct and indirect adverse effects on habitats and species. This would be through direct habitat loss, disturbance and fragmentation, as well as reducing the potential benefits of green infrastructure.

Coastal Erosion

6.80 Coastal erosion has a significant geological and social impact on the East Riding of Yorkshire, with average losses of 1.5-2.5 metres per year experienced along much of the coastline. In some areas erosion rates are much higher, with Holmpton seeing an average loss of 4.03 metres per year, although some areas have seen upwards of 20 metres lost in a single event. The total number of properties at risk between 2018 and 2025 is 29, and 26 of these are dwellings.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 29 6 Stage A2 - Baseline Information

6.81 In the East Riding, 10.3km (12 per cent) of the coastline is protected by coastal defences; 9.7km of the defences belong to the Council and 0.6km are privately owned. Coastal defences, such as sea walls and groynes, tend to be expensive and short-term options which have a high impact on the landscape or natural environment. For these reasons, it would be unsustainable and inappropriate to defend all 85 kilometres (53 miles) of the coastline against coastal erosion.

6.82 The East Riding Local Plan designated a Coastal Change Management Area (CCMA) where developments are likely to be affected by coastal change (see Figure 8). ENV6(F) sets out the circumstances in which proposals will be supported within the CCMA. For example, a proposal may be supported if it is a temporary development, involves the relocation or roll back of an existing development, or is safe from the risks associated with coastal change for its intended lifespan. In 2016- 17, two proposals were approved in the CCMA, however both complied with policy.

6.83 In 2016-17, no properties were granted roll back approval due to coastal erosion. Since monitoring of this data began in 2013-14, six properties (located in Ulrome, Tunstall and Skipsea) and 200 caravan pitches (located in Ulrome, Barmston and Withernsea) have been granted roll back approval.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.84 Policy ENV6 of the existing Local Plan sets out how development likely to be affected by coastal change will be proactively managed by designating a CCMA and sets out where proposals would be supported within the CCMA. Without such a policy, the CCMA would not be updated based on current monitoring. Development may take place in inappropriate locations as the area covered by the CCMA changes due to the removal of privately owned, unauthorised sea defences and the continued erosion of the coast. This could be dangerous and result in loss of homes, businesses and potentially life. It would impact on people’s homes and the economy, particularly the tourism/accommodation sector.

Landscape

6.85 Much of the East Riding’s landscape is shaped by agriculture and there are significant areas of high quality agricultural land. Natural England’s Agricultural Land Classification defines the best and most versatile agricultural land and identifies almost half of the East Riding's agricultural land within the top two grades of land (three per cent Grade 1 'excellent', and 44 per cent Grade 2 'very good'). This is a much higher proportion in comparison to the rest of the Yorkshire and Humber region (one per cent Grade 1 and 19 per cent Grade 2 respectively).

30 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Stage A2 - Baseline Information 6

6.86 Five National Countryside Character Areas cover the East Riding: Yorkshire Wolds; Vale of York; Humberhead levels, Holderness and Humber Estuary. They provide a context and framework for managing development, safeguarding and, where possible, enhancing natural environment and landscape values. The East Riding Landscape Character Assessment (2005) subdivides the five nationally identified National Character Areas further into 23 Landscape Character Areas.

6.87 The findings of the Landscape Character Assessment highlighted a number of important landscapes in the East Riding (see Figure 7). Developments in these areas are monitored to identify any allowed on appeal, which were originally refused on the basis of detrimental impact on these landscapes. Since this began being monitored in 2013, 13 appeals have been allowed within the Important Landscape Areas. In 2016-17 there was one appeal allowed for a wind turbine development that was originally refused on the basis of a detrimental impact on Important Landscape Areas.

6.88 The East Riding is a tranquil area, with little disturbance by noise and visual intrusion. Just 896.84km2 are disturbed, which equates to 35.92 per cent of the area. This has increased slightly from 34 per cent in the early 1990s. Across the Yorkshire and Humber region, only North Yorkshire County is considered more tranquil; where just 26.8 per cent of the area is disturbed. Areas most disturbed by noise and visual intrusion in the East Riding are urban/built up, which includes those locations near the boundary with Hull. Areas around major roads, in particular the A63/M62 corridor and the A1079, are also disturbed by noise and visual intrusion.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 31 6 Stage A2 - Baseline Information

Figure 7 Important Landscape Areas

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.90 Policy ENV2 in the existing Local Plan promotes a high quality landscape. Without this policy, development could have a greater adverse impact on the landscape quality, particularly in locally important landscapes and areas where the Local Plan seeks to prevent the coalescence of settlements. This damage could be irreversible.

Water Quality and Flooding

6.91 In the East Riding, there are 86 defined surface water bodies (rivers, canals, lakes, reservoirs, and estuarial and coastal waters) and eight groundwater bodies, as specified in the Environment Agency's Humber River Basin District Management Plan (RBMP) 2009.

6.92 Water quality in the Hull and East Riding Management Catchment is marginally better than the Humber River Basin District as a whole, with 4.76 per cent with a ‘poor’ status, compared to 5.6 per cent across the Humber River Basin District. All areas of bathing water are classed as good or excellent in the East Riding. Defra supports a Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) to managing the water environment. This approach involves collaborative working at a river catchment scale to deliver cross-cutting improvements, including those focused on meeting the Water Framework Directive obligations. The Hull and East Riding, Yorkshire

32 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Stage A2 - Baseline Information 6

Derwent and Humber catchment partnerships drive CaBA in the area.

6.93 A significant proportion of the East Riding is at risk of flooding from tidal, fluvial, surface water and groundwater sources. This includes elements of the area's social, economic, and environmental assets. The low lying, flat landscape around the Humber Estuary and River Hull is particularly susceptible.

6.94 The Environment Agency reports the number of properties at risk of flooding from rivers and sea. The Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea (RoFRS) product is a national flood risk assessment produced using modelling and local expertise. The modelling takes flood defences and their condition into account. In the East Riding, 22.87 per cent of residential properties and 25.61 of commercial properties are at risk of flooding. However, just 0.33 per cent of residential properties and 1.32 per cent of commercial properties are at high risk9 of flooding from rivers and sea.

6.95 The risk of surface water flooding is also significant in many parts of the East Riding. Analysis of the national flood risk map for surface water shows that approximately 11 per cent of the area’s residential properties (16,486) and 22 per cent of commercial properties (3,086) are at risk of surface water flooding. There are 65,380 properties at significant risk of flooding across Yorkshire and Humber and 484,753 at significant risk in England.

6.96 Since 2013-14, 120 flood risk management schemes have been implemented and 8,859 properties protected. In 2016-17, 25 flood risk management schemes were completed, with an estimated 20 properties protected. This is a significant reduction in the number of properties protected from that recorded for 2015-16 (8,266). This reflects the fact that many of these schemes focus on maintaining assets or informing studies.

Figure 8 Environmental Hazards

6.98 The Local Plan states that Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are to be incorporated into ‘major development proposals and proposals at risk of flooding, unless it is demonstrated to be inappropriate’. The Allocations Document identifies 66 sites which require comprehensive SuDS. As of 31 March 2017, two of the 66 sites have been completed.

6.99 Policy ENV6 of the existing Local Plan looks to manage environmental hazards, including flooding. Without such a policy, the risk of flooding is likely to increase over time. However, the NPPF would still apply including the application of the sequential and exceptions test, which would limit inappropriate development in areas at high risk of flooding.

6.100 The policy also manages groundwater pollution, without which inappropriate development may take place in Groundwater Source Protection Zones (SPZs) and affect water quality.

Heritage

6.101 The East Riding has a rich and diverse historic environment, containing outstanding buildings of national importance, such as Beverley Minster and Burton Constable Hall, alongside more local landmarks that act as place makers. One of the defining features of the flat landscape of the Holderness area and of the Yorkshire Wolds are their church towers and spires. These landscapes may be affected by development proposals. The extensive prehistoric ritual and settlement landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds with its concentration of archaeological features is under threat from intensive arable cultivation and may be affected by new development proposals, such as wind farm developments.

6.102 Many assets are recognised as being of particular significance and are protected by their designated status, such as Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, Registered Parks and Gardens, a Registered Battlefield and Conservation Areas. In 2016, 142 of the 2,753 listed heritage assets in the East Riding have been included on the Historic England at Risk Register, which identifies the following entries:

 125 Scheduled Monuments;  12 Listed Buildings and Places of Worships;  2 Registered Parks and Gardens;  2 Conservation Areas; and  The Registered Battlefield at Stamford Bridge.

6.103 The number of sites on the Heritage at Risk Register has reduced by 30 per cent over the past five years, from a total of 203 at risk in 2011. Unfortunately a number of the sites on this list have continued to deteriorate. Of the two Conservation Areas at risk, both are considered to be in ‘very bad’ condition. Goole Conservation Area is deteriorating significantly, but the Bridlington Conservation Area is improving.

6.104 Of the Scheduled Monuments at risk, 90 per cent are continuing to decline. A large proportion of Scheduled Monuments are at risk from arable farming, with other causes including animal burrowing, coastal erosion, unlicensed metal detecting, waste dumping, tree and scrub growth and draining/dewatering. The Registered Battlefield at Stamford Bridge has been identified as being a highly vulnerable asset at risk and the Registered Parks and Gardens in Londesborough and Cottingham are also continuing to deteriorate. Of the 12 Listed Buildings at risk, only the boat hoist on south side of south dock, Bridge Street, Goole has a repair scheme in progress.

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.105 Policy ENV3 of the existing Local Plan supports valuing the heritage of the East Riding. Without such a policy, designated assets would maintain their status and protection under relevant legislation. However, the protection afforded to non- designated assets could be greatly reduced, particularly as there would be no local definition/criteria to identify such assets.

Open Space

6.106 The East Riding has a wealth of open space, linked by a network of public rights of ways. There is, however, a recognised need for the provision of good quality open space on new developments. 'Open space' refers to accessible spaces that provide amenity and/or recreation value to the public, such as parks and gardens, picnic areas, woodland, playgrounds, playing pitches, allotments, and amenity green spaces within residential developments. There are 206 play areas in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and 61 open spaces have been adopted by the Council. There is a high level of satisfaction (94 per cent) with local parks and open spaces.

6.107 In 2012, East Riding of Yorkshire Council carried out an Open Space Review which measured the quality and quantity of open space. The Playing Pitch Strategy involved a similar activity, covering the key pitch sports of football, cricket, rugby union, rugby league and hockey.

 The Open Space review identified that at the time of the report there was 3,258ha of open space available to the community. However, 96 parishes were identified as having no equipped play provision (at the time of the report). Six of these are the urban areas of Hedon, Hutton Cranswick, Kirk Ella, Nafferton, Preston and Willerby.

 The Playing Pitch Strategy identified a total of 396 hectares of playing pitch land available for community use.

6.108 The East Riding has one of the lowest percentages of woodland cover in England (2.6 per cent compared with 8.4 per cent nationally) and, in particular, has very little ancient, or semi-natural woodland. Therefore, where woodland is present it often makes an important contribution to the amenity of the landscape and landscape character, and can also provide valuable outdoor space for recreation. Equally, despite their past loss due to intensive land management for agricultural production, hedgerows are the dominant field boundary feature in the East Riding and make an important contribution to landscape character by contributing to the strengthening of landscape pattern.

36 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Stage A2 - Baseline Information 6

Likely evolution without a Local Plan review

6.109 Policy C3 of the existing Local Plan supports the provision of public open space for leisure and recreation. Without such a policy it is unlikely sufficient new open spaces of the right type will be provided alongside new development. It is unlikely that new open spaces would meet the appropriate standards or address shortfalls in supply. It could also result in the uncontrolled loss of existing open spaces.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 37 7 Stage A3 – Sustainability Issues and Problems

7 Stage A3 – Sustainability Issues and Problems

7.1 The SA process requires the identification of environmental, economic and social issues affecting the East Riding of Yorkshire. This is informed by a range of sources of evidence, including:

 Issues and objectives identified in relevant PPP (see Chapter 5);  Baseline data for the East Riding of Yorkshire (see Chapter 6); and  Stakeholder consultation (see Chapter 9).

7.2 The issues and problems identified have informed the development of the SA framework. The issues and problems that have been identified are set out in Table 3. Further details on how these could be reflected in the Local Plan are set out in Appendix D: Key Sustainability Issues and Problems.

8 Stage A4 – SA Framework / Objectives

8.1 Development of the SA framework is the main output of the Scoping Report. It provides a way for the effects of the policies in the Local Plan and reasonable alternatives to be predicted and evaluated. This includes identifying the significance of any positive and negative effects for each alternative, and whether these effects would be either temporary or permanent.

8.2 The SA framework consists of sustainability objectives which are measured against a series of indicators. These objectives and indicators may be revised throughout the SA process, for example, as baseline information is collected, new sustainability issues and problems are identified, or following consideration of consultation responses. The framework will also be used to monitor the effects of the Plan. Appendix E: Relationship between SA objectives and Key Issues and Problems sets out the relationship between the new SA objectives and the key issues and problems.

Objectives

8.3 Sustainability objectives provide a way of ensuring proposals in the Local Plan consider the sustainability needs of the East Riding in terms of their social, environmental and economic effects. The SEA topics identified in Annex I(f)11 of the SEA Directive are one of the key considerations when determining SA Objectives. However, wider social and economic issues are also considered.

8.4 The SAs for the adopted Local Plan Strategy and Allocations Documents included separate objectives. These have been reviewed, taking into account the relationship with the objectives of other PPP, the review of the baseline information and particularly the issues and problems that have been identified through this Scoping Report. Where issues cross local authority boundaries the impacts of proposals on the wider areas will be considered.

8.5 As set out in Chapter 1, the SA objectives for the adopted Local Plan Strategy Document and the adopted Local Plan Allocations Document are slightly different to each other. This Scoping Report outlines the preparation of a single SA framework that will be used for the whole East Riding Local Plan12.

8.6 The new SA objectives are set out in Table 4 which also identifies decision making guidance to explain in more detail what each objective covers. This should ensure consistency when making decisions on how well proposals meet the objectives.

11 ANNEX I(f): ‘the likely significant effects(1) on the environment, including on issues such as biodiversity, population, human health, fauna, flora, soil, water, air, climatic factors, material assets, cultural heritage including architectural and archaeological heritage, landscape and the interrelationship between the above factors;’ 12 Excluding separate minerals and waste local plans

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 39 8 Stage A4 – SA Framework / Objectives

8.7 Some decision making guidance could reasonably be considered under more than one objective. However, they have only been listed, and would be considered, against the most relevant objective. This will ensure the decision making guidance are not double counted and, as a result, the assessment is not skewed to a particular strand of an objective. Objective 1, which aims to ‘improve health, reduce inequalities and encourage active lifestyles’ and objective 3 which aims to ‘reduce social exclusion and improve equality of opportunity amongst social groups’ are exceptions to this approach. They would be achieved through a wide range of decision making guidance for other objectives, such as improved infrastructure, providing quality housing, reducing social exclusion, improving health, providing quality housing, supporting renaissance and improving accessibility by walking and cycling. Whilst these are not repeated under the decision making guidance for Objectives 1 and 3, all other decision making criteria will need to be considered when undertaking an assessment against these objectives.

8.8 The objectives are relevant to the Local Plan as a whole. Some objectives may be scoped out for individual Local Plan documents or policies, for example, if the policies concerned are not likely to have an effect on the objective or the approach to a particular objective is the same for all of the policies being considered.

8.9 Appendix F: Likely compatibility of SA objectives assesses the new objectives against each other to ensure that there are no insurmountable conflicts. This considers the likely implications of working towards each objective. However, it is important to acknowledge that the impacts will depend on how the objectives are implemented and, therefore, some issues may not be apparent at this time. The assessment shows that that the majority of issues are either compatible or not linked.

8.10 Subject to the scope of a Local Plan review, it may be appropriate to revise the adopted Site Assessment Methodology. This identified a number of questions used to assess the suitability of potential development sites for allocation. Each question was linked to the SA objectives of the adopted Allocations Document, and would need to be re-assessed in light of the new Local Plan SA Scoping Report.

48 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Stage A5 – Consultation on the Scope of the Sustainability Appraisal 9

9 Stage A5 – Consultation on the Scope of the Sustainability Appraisal

9.1 Consultation is a key part of the SA process. At the draft scoping stage, the Council was required to seek comments from the statutory consultation bodies, Historic England, Environment Agency and Natural England, which is set out in Regulation 4 of the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004. Other key consultees such as town/parish councils, neighbouring authorities and duty to cooperate bodies were also consulted.

9.2 Engagement took place between 11 December 2017 and 5 February 2018 and 18 responses, resulting in 74 comments, were received. The full responses are published on the Council’s website alongside the final scoping report. A summary of the main comments is set out below:

 It was considered that the report largely set out an appropriate framework to assess the impact of policies and proposals, subject to some amendments;  Suggestions were made regarding additional documents that should be considered in the review of relevant plans, programmes and policies;  A range of amendments to the baseline were suggested;  Amendments to the SA objectives were proposed;  It was identified that the SA should more clearly recognise that future trends are an important part of SA and that the consideration of the impact without a plan should mean without the Local Plan review, not without a Local Plan;  The need for further clarity on how effects of policies and proposals will be measured was identified;  The need to have greater consideration of cross boundary issues with other local authorities, particularly Hull was raised;  The RPTI published guidance on carrying out SA/SEA during the consultation. Some consultees refereed to how the draft scoping report could be amended to reflect this non statutory best practice guidance;  Most comments related specifically to the consultees area of expertise though some were broader;  Most parish councils that responded were happy to rely on the technical expertise of East Riding of Yorkshire Council officers on such technical issues.

9.3 Appendix I: Summary of Responses and Officer Comments summarises the responses and provides officer comments.

9.4 A number of changes have been made to the Scoping Report following the review of the comments. Amendments to the baseline have resulted in some changes to the issues and problems that needed to be addressed, which has in turn resulted in some amendments to the SA objectives. To aid understanding the objectives were

Appendix H: Assessment of Effects

Appendix H: Assessment of Effects

This appendix sets out how the SA will be carried out using the agreed framework.

Assessment of the Objectives

The objectives of the plan will need to be tested against the SA objectives to identify both potential synergies and inconsistencies. This information may help in both developing alternatives during the development of the plan, and refining the objectives of the plan or programme itself. It may also be helpful to test the plan objectives against each other, as inconsistencies can give rise to adverse effects, including cumulative effects. The compatibility of the plan objectives with each other and with SEA objectives will be tested using the framework set out in Table 5.

Developing Strategic Alternatives/Options

Each option will need to be tested against the SA objectives, with positive and negative effects considered, and uncertainties about the effects noted. This may be an iterative process, with alternatives and effects being revised. Options can include a ‘business as usual’ or ‘do nothing’ approach, i.e. continuing with the existing Local Plan policy or having no policy on a particular issue, if there is not currently one. The assessment options will be summarised in a table to allow comparison. Table 6 is an example table.

Uncertain outcome (could be used alongside another score e.g. ++/-) - Minor negative outcome -- Medium negative outcome --- Major negative outcome Were appropriate a distinction will be made between short, medium and long term effects.

Predicting the Effects of the Local Plan Policies

A more detailed assessment will be required for the policies themselves. It will consider both direct and indirect effects, including appropriate synergetic and cumulative effects. The SEA Directive 21 gives criteria for determining the likely significance of effect. It requires the characteristics of the effects and the area likely to be affected to be considered, having regard, in particular to the:

 Probability, duration, frequency and reversibility of the effects;  Cumulative nature of the effects;  Transboundary nature of the effects (scale);  Risks to human health or the environment (e.g. due to accidents);

21 Annex II

East Riding of Yorkshire Council 175 Appendix H: Assessment of Effects

 Magnitude and spatial extent of the effects (geographical area and size of the population likely to be affected) (scale);  Value and vulnerability of the area likely to be affected due to: o Special natural characteristics or cultural heritage; o Exceeded environmental quality standards; o Intensive land-use; and  Effects on areas or landscapes which have a recognised national or international protection status.

Table 6 shows an example of a policy assessment table. Risk to human health and the environment; value and vulnerability of the area likely to be affected and effects on areas or landscapes are not covered by specific columns in the table as they will be considered through the relevant SA objectives.

Cumulative, secondary and synergistic effects

These may include the following:  Secondary or indirect effects that are not a direct result of the Strategy, but occur away from the original effect or as a result of a complex pathway. Examples of secondary effects are a development that changes a water table and thus affects the ecology of a nearby wetland; or construction of one project that facilitates/ attracts other developments.  Cumulative effects arise, for instance, where several developments each have insignificant effects but added together have a more significant effect; or where several individual effects of the plan (e.g. noise, dust and visual impacts) have a combined effect.  Synergistic effects interact to produce a total effect greater than the sum of the individual effects. They often happen as habitats, resources or human communities get close to capacity. For instance, a wildlife habitat can become progressively fragmented with limited effects on a species until the last fragmentation makes the areas too small to support the species at all.

Cumulative, secondary and synergistic effects will be assessed for preferred options at the preferred options SA stage.

East Riding o YorkshireEast Riding o Council 195 Sites often have multiple designation such as SAC and SPA with almost all of SAC/SPA also being SSSIs, so summing the total of SAC/SPA and SSSI will give a false total that is much (up to 3 times) higher than the real figure.
