Role and Function of Settlements in Sedgemoor Was Last Completed in 2010 Sedgemoor District Council Role and Function Review of our settlements services and facilities Planning Policy September 2015 1 Contents Introduction Part A Aims and Objectives Background & Methodology Timescale Research and analysis (a) Settlement Hierarchy (b) Individual Criteria Overview of the scoring matrix Questionnaire to Parish Councils Part B Settlement Profiles Population Mapping Summary and Conclusion (Next Steps) Appendices 2 Introduction The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out the Governments planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. The NPPF requires each local planning authority to Ensure that the Local Plan is based on adequate, up to date, and relevant evidence about the economic, social and environmental characteristics and prospects of the area. Local planning authorities should ensure that their assessment of and strategies for housing, employment, and other uses are integrated, and that they take full account of relevant market and economic signals. Take account of the different roles and character of different areas, promoting the vitality of our main urban areas, protecting the Green Belts around them, recognising the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside and supporting thriving rural communities within it. To be able to do this, the Local Planning Authority must have objectively assessed the needs of its settlements, and communities. A study of the role and function of settlements in Sedgemoor was last completed in 2010. It considered all of Sedgemoor’s settlements with the exception of Bridgwater. Bridgwater is identified as the focus for the district’s housing and employment growth in the Core Strategy 2006 – 2027, adopted in 2011. As we prepare an evidence base in readiness for a review of our Local Plan it is appropriate to review that study and its continued relevance and robustness as we look to assess options for future growth distribution across our district. Sedgemoor is a largely rural district and as such it is essential that we reconsider the role and function of each of the districts settlements to ensure that the Local Plan review is well informed to identify the scope for sustainable development across our district. To do this effectively, an assessment of the services and facilities is essential. 3 Aims and Objectives The objectives of this study are to: Develop a sound methodology to objectively assess the role and function of Sedgemoor’s settlements Develop a settlement hierarchy and classify the settlements on the basis of their services and facilities. This will be used to establish the sustainability of the settlements together with population mapping. Background We currently have a very simple matrix with 15 criteria that each settlement is scored against. Depending on the score achieved it is then placed into one of the following categories; 17 Key Rural Settlements 11 Other Sustainable Settlements The remainder of the district is deemed Countryside. The exceptions to this are Bridgwater, Burnham on Sea and Highbridge that are categorised separately; Bridgwater as the Principal Town and Burnham on Sea and Highbridge as towns. Whilst in principle the concept will remain in terms of a matrix system, we will reassess each of the original 15 criteria, to ensure that the matrix is robust enough to differentiate between the various settlements, and to identify gaps in services and facilities. The intention from here is to produce a robust framework against which all settlements can be objectively assessed. It is important to note that the matrix cannot be exhaustive and its focus will be on services facilities and accessibility only. The findings of this will need to be considered together with a number of additional factors when establishing sustainability. This will include but is not limited to population mapping and environmental factors. The current matrix includes population and points are awarded based on this. This has been excluded from the proposed matrix and it is suggested that the issue of facilities, services and accessibility is looked at independently and then considered alongside population mapping. This will ensure that as the two areas are matched, and any under-provision of services and facilities can be identified. This is essential to ensure that future development within a settlement is sustainable and any gap in the facilities and services is identifiable. 4 The Process Stage One: Desk based research assessing the opportunities for an assessment of role and function the different type and structure of Evaluation Stage Two: Research and produce a comprehensive list of services and facilities to include within the matrix to best represent the sustainability of a settlement Stage Three: Assess these in an evidence document discussing the purpose and benefit of each service/facility to underpin the scoring system. Stage Four: Produce a matrix against which we can assess all settlements Stage Five: Research and establish the various services and facilities contained within each settlement through Parish Council questionnaires, desk based research and site visits. Stage Six: Score each settlement and categorise accordingly. Evaluating the Settlements We need to establish which services and facilities are deemed most essential to support and serve vibrant and sustainable communities within out district, and which are considered desirable and beneficial but not essential. This assessment will inform the scoring system for the matrix. We need to develop a robust matrix that will facilitate objective and fair assessment of our settlements. The quantitative method of evaluation will be a points scoring matrix where criteria are graded 1 – 5 dependent on whether they are deemed to be key services, and how broadly they serve a community etc. We also seek to account for combined/mobile/additional services and facilities which will give us an indication of the extent and breadth of facilities and services. This will be to a maximum of 2. There are factors that cannot so easily be quantified, and are more subjective by nature. For this reason there may be further interpretation required, and for this, there should be significant weight given to the views of the parish council and the community. An example of this is how and to what degree a smaller settlement forms a cluster of settlements. Whilst there will be points awarded within the matrix, this will be based at least in part on the commentary/evaluation settlement provided by the Parish Council, as well as assessment of the combination of services and facilities between neighbouring settlements that would suggest an interdependence. This may prove to be significant for when settlements are borderline in terms of the hierarchy category they fit in to and as such strongly support and well evidenced views must be provided. 5 The proposed timescale January – February: Conduct desk based research Compile draft matrix Issue questionnaires to Parish Councils March: Issue questionnaires to Parish Councils Continue with desk based research April: Compile responses and establish site visit requirements Carry out site visit requirements May - June: Compile responses Assess settlements against the scoring matrix Services/facilities mapping Population mapping June - July: Conclude and present Role and Function Report Research and Analysis There are three dimensions to sustainable development; Social, Economic and Environmental. Social: supporting strong, vibrant, and healthy communities by providing housing to meet the needs of both present and future generations; and by creating a high quality built environment, with accessible local services that reflect the community’s needs and support its health, social and cultural well-being Economic: contributing to building a strong, responsive, and competitive economy, by ensuring that sufficient land of the right type is available in the right place and at the right time to support growth, and innovation by identifying and coordinating development requirements, including the provision of infrastructure; Environmental; contributing to protecting and enhancing our natural, built and historic environment; and as part of this, helping to improve biodiversity, use natural resources prudently, minimise waste and pollution, mitigate and adapt to climate change including moving to a low carbon economy. 6 For the purpose of the matrix, we are considering; Well connected – establishing how well connected a settlement is, is not limited just to transport considerations, although this is one part. We should also consider access to public transport, cycling routes, broadband speeds, etc. Connectivity varies enormously across our district, we have some settlements along the M5 corridor that have excellent vehicular and rail links as well as access to superfast broadband. Whilst at the other end of the scale, we have rural and remote settlements that have limited access to public transport, and from where residents need to travel by car/bike to reach essential services and facilities. In addition there are areas of the district with limited mobile signal, as well as restricted broadband speeds. Digital connectivity can have significant implications for a settlement both from an economic and social perspective. It is appropriate to consider a settlements relationship both to larger neighbouring settlements, and where smaller settlements have formed a functional relationship to form a cluster of settlements thus improving their

  • SHAPWICK NEWS Issue 282
    June 2018 SHAPWICK NEWS Issue 282 An Invitation to Gain an ‘Ology’ Are you looking to gain a new skill? Maybe you have never had an ‘ology’! If that is you then we have just the thing for you. This is an excellent opportunity to become a Campanologist! In two of our six Polden Wheel churches, Ashcott and Shapwick, we have six lovely bells that have faithfully rung out, over centuries, for all kinds of occasions. Sunday services, weddings, national events and a regular weekly practice night alternating between the two churches. This is a traditional art, much valued and enjoyed both by those who ring and those who hear the familiar sound. During the 1914 – 18 war some 1400 young men and women who were bell ringers lost their lives in the conflict and 63 of those were in the Bath & Wells Diocese .In 2018 there is a national push to recruit new ringers or inspire lapsed ones to return. Bell ringing is a great thing to do. It is physical but not strenuous, brain teasing if you want it to be and very social as well. We are a friendly group who come together on a Friday to practice and ring the bells Sunday by Sunday for services when we have them. In addition being part of a wider local and national network of bell ringers is great and, as most towns and villages have bells, you can be sure of a very warm welcome at any one of the 5750 towers in the UK. We would love to teach you to master the art of bell ringing and whether you are still at school, working or retired this could be just the thing for you.
