Amber Valley Borough Local Plan Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report ClearLead Consulting Limited, The Barn, Cadhay, Ottery St Mary, Devon, EX11 1QT, UK +44 (0) 1404 814 273 4th May 2020 By Email Only Dear Sir / Madam Amber Valley Borough Local Plan: Sustainability Appraisal - Scoping We are writing to you in order to gain your opinion on the enclosed Scoping Report which sets out the proposed scope and level of detail of the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) of the forthcoming Amber Valley Borough Local Plan. Amber Valley Borough Council (AVBC) formally resolved in May 2019 to withdraw the Submission Local Plan (March 2018) to enable the Spatial Vision, Strategic Objectives and Spatial Strategy Policies to be reviewed. At the Full Council meeting held in November 2019, the Borough Council agreed to prepare a new plan through to adoption by 31 March 2023, with a plan end date of at least 2038. The new Local Plan, when adopted, will replace the saved Local Plan policies of the current adopted plan. ClearLead Consulting Ltd has been appointed by AVBC to undertake the SA and as well as a parallel Habitats Regulations Assessment. Scoping Report The Scoping Report is the first output of the SA and provides baseline information on the environmental, social and economic characteristics of the plan area, including the likely evolution of the baseline position which would occur without the plan. The Scoping Report also sets out a methodology and framework for the assessment of the Local Plan and its alternatives at later stages of the Local Plan preparation process. It also identifies the significant effects that the assessment will need to focus on. Consultation This Scoping Report will be consulted on for a minimum of five weeks, in accordance with statutory requirements, and consultation will commence from Monday 4th May 2020 and extend to 4.30 pm on Wednesday 10th June 2020. This will include both direct consultation with statutory consultees1, as well as with a range of other key stakeholders. Please see the questions presented in the table below to guide your responses. 1 Natural England, Environment Agency and Historic England ClearLead Consulting Limited, Registered in England & Wales No: 9191734 VAT No: 195 5561 70 www.clearleadconsulting.com Registered Office: 5 Sandy Court, Ashleigh Way, Plympton, Plymouth, PL7 5JX, UK. Questions to guide responses: 1. Have we included all the relevant plans and programmes that are important to the Amber Valley Borough Local Plan and to sustainability? 2. Can you suggest any other information/facts and figures that may be suitable for inclusion in the baseline information collected for the Amber Valley Borough Local Plan? 3. Have we correctly identified the main sustainability issues? 4. Do the SA objectives set out in the SA framework ask the right questions of the plan and therefore define the appropriate scope of the assessment? 5. Does the scoping report provide sufficient information to ensure that an appropriate SA can be carried out?

The Planning Practice Guidance1 states that: “The sustainability appraisal should only focus on what is needed to assess the likely significant effects of the Local Plan. It should focus on the environmental, economic and social impacts that are likely to be significant. It does not need to be done in any more detail, or using more resources, than is considered to be appropriate for the content and level of detail in the Local Plan”. The review of PPP has therefore focused on the documents that could have an influence on the Amber Valley Borough Local Plan and is not an exhaustive list of documents prepared in the UK under each topic. Documents have been reviewed to identify key messages, objectives and targets which are relevant to the Amber Valley Borough Local Plan. The reviews are presented in Table A1.1 by topic similarly to the way that baseline data has been presented in the main Scoping Report. 1 https://www.gov.uk/guidance/strategic-environmental-assessment-and-sustainability-

  • Updated Duffield Area Profile
    Area Profile: Duffield Spatial Outline The settlement of Duffield is located to the south of Amber Valley Borough at its boundary with Erewash, approximately 5 miles north of Derby and 15 miles west of Nottingham. The area is linked to several transport corridors including the A6, the Derwent Valley Railway line and the River Derwent runs north-south through its boundaries. The village centre of Duffield is situated in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site Buffer Zone. The village benefits from being surrounded by rolling countryside and the River Ecclesbourne and River Derwent flow through it, with land either side of the River Derwent within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. There are a number of good access roads and public transport links, with train and bus links to the north and south. The area has close connections to settlements in Holbrook, Quarndon and cross boundary links within Derby City and Erewash. Key Characteristics Population: 5046 Number of Households: 2028 Population Density: 6.4 people/hectare Approximate Area: 786 Hectares Source: Census 2011 1 Improving Places and Meeting Community Needs Land Area: Duffield covers 786 Hectares.

    Public Agenda Item No. 4(h) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING OF CABINET MEMBER – JOBS, ECONOMY AND TRANSPORT 30 September 2014 Report of the Strategic Director – Economy, Transport and Environment CONSULTATION ON PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE AMBER VALLEY LOCAL PLAN PART 1 CORE STRATEGY (1) Purpose of the Report To agree the County Council’s response to Amber Valley Borough Council’s (AVBC) public consultation on its Proposed Changes to the Amber Valley Local Plan Part 1 Core Strategy (Proposed Changes). (2) Information and Analysis The Amber Valley Local Plan Part 1: Submission Core Strategy (Submission Core Strategy) was submitted to the Secretary of State by AVBC on 20 December 2013. An Examination in Public (EIP) of the Plan was subsequently conducted by a Government Inspector (Roy Foster) between April and May 2014, on a number of key soundness issues identified by the Inspector, particularly that the housing target for both the Borough and wider Derby Housing Market Area (HMA) was too low and should be increased to meet the objectively assessed housing needs (OAHN) of both areas. He also raised concerns about the deliverability of the sites identified by AVBC in its five-year housing land supply. Specific issues and concerns relating to the Strategic Growth Sites in the Plan were also examined, particularly the proposed large urban extension sites north of Ripley and East of Codnor, and the need for the associated A610 Relief Road. The Inspector published his conclusions and recommendations on the EIP hearing sessions on 14 May 2014, and (particularly) recommended suspension of the EIP for a period of six months to allow AVBC further time to address his soundness concerns on these matters, with further evidence and collaborative working.
