  • Lewes District Local Plan Part 2 Submission and It Sets out How the Duty to Cooperate Has Been Met in Preparing This Plan
    Lewes District Local Plan Part 2 – Site Allocations & Development Management Policies Duty to Cooperate Statement December 2018 Contents Introduction 3 Context 4 Cross Boundary Strategic Planning Priorities 4 Key Relationships and Ongoing Work and Outcomes 7 Appendix – Statements of Common Ground 10 2 1 Introduction 1.1 The Localism Act 2011 places a duty on local planning authorities and other prescribed bodies to cooperate with each other on strategic planning matters relevant to their areas. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) reiterates this duty and requires an independent inspector to assess whether the plan they are examining has been prepared in accordance with the duty. 1.2 This statement has been prepared as a supporting document to the Lewes District Local Plan Part 2 submission and it sets out how the Duty to Cooperate has been met in preparing this plan. 1.3 The Duty to Cooperate requires ongoing constructive and active engagement on the preparation of development plan documents and other activities relating to sustainable development and the use of land. In particular it applies to strategic planning matters where they affect more than one local planning authority area. 1.4 Most cross-boundary issues affecting the district were dealt with in the recently adopted Local Plan Part 1and do not fall to be re-opened. Local Plan Part 2 is not a strategic plan; rather it is the detailed implementation of the existing strategic plan – the Local Plan Part 1. 1.5 In the Report on the Examination into the Lewes District Local Plan Part 1 – Joint Core Strategy1 published on 22nd March 2016 the Inspector confirmed in his assessment of the duty to cooperate: “The Councils have established effective and on-going working relationships with neighbouring and nearby local planning authorities, particularly through the East Sussex Strategic Planning Members Group and the Coastal West Sussex and Greater Brighton Strategic Planning Board.

  • Rother District Council
    Rother District Local Plan – Inspector’s Report Section 9 – Employment Developments on this single track railway would necessarily be relatively infrequent and there is a lack of evidence before me to support assertions that the operation of the railway would destroy the peace or tranquillity of the valley or that the previous extension to Bodiam had such an effect. The low embankments and suitably-designed river bridges would have a limited visual impact on what is a large scale open landscape. 9.55 However it is more difficult to predict the visual impact of the works that would be necessary to cross the various roads since these crossings have not been designed. If, as appears likely (see below), the relevant authorities would only sanction a bridge crossing of the A21 and B2244, that would require considerable engineering structures to take the road over the railway or vice versa. These works would include the bridge itself and necessary associated cuttings or embankments. Embankments appear to be the more likely given the location of the crossings within the river flood plain where cuttings could take the road or railway below the level of the water table. To achieve the necessary clearance, embankments would probably be significantly taller and wider than the original railway embankments with a greater landscape impact. However the actual impact on the AONB cannot be predicted without a designed scheme. Impact on farming operations and on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers 9.56 Subject to detailed consideration at the planning application stage, I consider that the proposed route is likely to be sufficiently remote from residential property that the noise or other emissions from the railway would not be unacceptably harmful to the living conditions of the occupiers.
