Making Spaces for Growing Places Making Spaces for Growing Places Local Plan Document for Gateshead Submission Draft Plan October 2018 Making Representations on this Plan The Making Spaces for Growing Places (Site Allocations and Development Management Policies) Submission Draft Plan is the version that, subject to minor amendments, is intended to be submitted to the Secretary of State for public examination. This Plan takes account of all the evidence that has been prepared and the comments received in previous consultations. This final round of consultation is different from earlier consultation on the draft MSGP. This is the Plan that the council considers is ready for examination and this is your opportunity to consider and comment on MSGP’s soundness, legal compliance in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and compliance with the Duty to Co-operate before it is submitted to an independent Planning Inspector to be examined. It is extremely important that representations are presented in a way that is most helpful for the Planning Inspector. We are therefore asking that all representations are made using the consultation response form. It is preferred that the consultation response form is completed via our online consultation portal at: https://consultation.gateshead.gov.uk/kms/dmart.aspx?noip=1&strTab=Pu blicDMart Details of consultation events and copies of the Plan and supporting documents are set out on our website https://www.gateshead.gov.uk/article/3476/Have-your-say- on-planning-policy. You can view paper copies of the Plan and supporting documents at Gateshead Civic Centre and Gateshead Central Library. The period to make representations will run for 6 weeks from 29th October until 9th December 2018. Next Steps All comments received throughout the various stages of plan preparation, along with a copy of the Plan, and any proposed modifications, will be sent to the Planning Inspector appointed to examine the soundness of the Plan. The Planning Inspector will consider whether it meets the tests of ‘soundness’ as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (paragraph 35) which requires that it must be • Positively prepared; • Justified; • Effective; and • Consistent with national policy. If you need assistance using this system please contact a member of the Spatial Planning and Housing Strategy Team at Gateshead Council who will be happy to assist you by email: [email protected], or by telephone: 0191 433 3415 . Foreword by Councillor Martin Gannon Leader of the Council Gateshead has a reputation for being ambitious and visionary and over the last few years we have also shown resilience that we will continue to build on in the future. Despite facing many challenges, we have continued to plan and develop innovatively, including pioneering schemes such as the Gateshead District Energy Scheme. In 2015, in partnership with Newcastle City Council we adopted parts 1 and 2 of the Local Plan, ‘Planning for the Future Core Strategy & Urban Core Plan’ which outlined our vision to ensure Gateshead is a prosperous, sustainable and distinctive place, where people can reach their full potential. We were delighted that the work undertaken by both Councils was recognised by the Royal Town Planning Institute as we received the North East Regional Awards for Planning Excellence 2015. We have shown our commitment to delivering excellent planning services for our communities and this is the next important stage in this process. This document will form a key part of Gateshead’s Local Plan, and will be essential in delivering the vision of the Core Strategy, helping to ensure that the right development occurs in the right place. Planning applications will be assessed against the policies detailed in the plan and it will provide certainty to both developers and residents about the kind of development which will be acceptable and where. This plan for Gateshead continues to demonstrate our ambition and vision for the borough. It will help us to achieve economic prosperity, place shape to deliver healthy sustainable communities and tackle climate change, whilst also allowing us to protect those aspects valued by our communities, including our natural environment, wildlife, historic buildings and recreation areas. We have shown over the last three decades the positive impact regeneration can have on our neighbourhoods and our achievements have been significant. Trinity Square has given local people access to a European style public square alongside a mix of retail, food and leisure establishments, while the developments in Birtley, Blaydon, Felling and Ravensworth Road have vastly improved facilities available to local communities. We produced an award winning Supplementary Planning Document on hot food takeaways which will contribute to improving the health of Gateshead residents. We have also supported the Land of Oak and Iron Landscape Partnership which is promoting the outstanding natural and historical features along the Derwent Valley. This project will benefit Gateshead in numerous ways including new tourism attractions, improved access to woodlands and opportunities for education and volunteering. However, we know over the next 10 years we need to encourage continued regeneration of our town centre, Felling and Chopwell. We have also recently announced exciting plans for a new multi-million pound, state of the art entertainment arena and conference and exhibition centre which will revitalise a key site on Gateshead Quays. However, it’s important to remember that this isn’t just the Council’s Plan, we will continue to work closely with local people across Gateshead to develop this plan and make sure it is the best it can be for the borough. We would like to encourage as many people as possible, including residents, visitors and businesses alike, to get involved and give us their views so we can make the plan right for Gateshead.

  • Rutter Carroll RYDER to Maintain Consistency of Output Over 60 Years of Practice Is a Tough Call
    RYDER Rutter Carroll RYDER_ To maintain consistency of output over 60 years of practice is a tough call. We have PREFACE never tried to change; we have simply tried to improve the quality of our surroundings, and in doing so, the quality of people’s lives. PETER Looking back there is a remarkable consistency of approach, and in many ways this interests us more than the product. After all, the product is a product of the approach, BUCHAN it kind of looks after itself. The ‘what’ of ‘what we do’ is about simplicity, usefulness, elegance. To continue to improve this we have become increasingly obsessed with the ‘how’ of our architecture. The ‘how’ is about developing the best people and creating organisations that allow them to grow and contribute, to achieve what we collectively define as excellence. It has been quite a journey, and it is only in hindsight that one begins to read the patterns. Most of the time we are so committed to dealing with the present and considering the future that there is a little opportunity, or indeed desire, to reflect on the past. The connections to the two postwar pioneers, Gordon Ryder and Peter Yates, seem tenuous and potent in equal measure. In turn, their own connections to the legacy of Berthold Lubetkin and Le Corbusier seem now equally tenuous yet potent. There is something powerful in the collective memory and culture of an organisation; sometimes carried forward by individuals, often at times by a surge of a whole group. It shapes what we do. This is why we have been so taken up with the ‘how’, and we have striven to build a collective, a shared culture and vision that runs through the whole organisation, wherever its people are located.
