1.1 Welcome to this consultation on aspects of the new Calderdale Local Plan.

1.2 This consultation takes forward some of the policy themes from the Preferred Options of the Core Strategy (2012) but of most interest to many puts forward possible sites for development and these are a prime focus of this consultation. It is NOT the Publication Version of the Local Plan, nor a complete initial draft plan, but 1 provides context for further engagement and plan preparation over the coming months.

1.3 There are emerging draft policies on various aspects as well as the initial suggestions for sites, trying to take account of the evidence and deliver a sustainable future for Calderdale. The draft policies and supporting text show how the Local Plan may develop as it transposes from the Core Strategy to a Local Plan and

progresses towards the Publication version. utumn 2015

1.4 As this is not a draft plan, but rather a consultation we have not undertaken formatting, cross referencing, included pictures or precise statistics as many of these will change. Decisions following this consultation, particularly in relation to the land allocations, will influence the drafting of these parts of the Local Plan. This

consultation appears to be a step back from the "Preferred Options" for the Core Strategy... but it should be dale MBC - A remembered that the Council is now producing a single Local Plan - rather than two separate documents. The process was never going to be as simple as just adding sites to the Core Strategy as they are very different documents, and there has to be significant re-writing of the strategic elements to clearly indicate Calder the outcomes that are being incorporated within the plan. Many of these strategic policies need to reflect more recent evidence and changes to national planning policy and guidance.

1.5 Some of the studies providing the evidence underpinning the Local Plan were not fully completed at the time of writing this consultation document. These include the Strategic Housing Market Assessment 2015 (SHMA), Strategic Flood Risk Assessment 2015 (SFRA), Green Belt Review, Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment 2015, Landscape Study and the SATURN Model considering highways. Further studies, such as a refresh of the Employment Land Review and Retail Needs Assessment and update work, relating to infrastructure, including highways impacts, will be needed as plan preparation continues to ensure the most appropriate and up-to-date evidence is available to support the plan.

1.6 This Consultation is not supported by an updated Sustainability Appraisal (incorporating Strategic Environmental Assessment - SEA) nor appraisals relating to the Habitats Regulations. The Council is fully aware of the need to undertake this work as the plan progresses and to inform choices for the Publication version.

1.7 Consultation on this document will be undertaken from 6 November 2015 to 18 December and comments otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan

on policy, strategy or sites will be welcomed. Copies of the consultation documents and maps are available P to view on line and in printed format at Calderdale libraries and at the Drop In Sessions:-

Your comments on the proposed land allocations will be important to the Council in its considerations as it progresses the Local Plan. 4 Scale of Growth

Scale of Growth Planned

2.1 The amount of growth necessary to ensure that the district caters for the objectively assessed needs of both its current and future residents and businesses up to 2032 has been established through a range of 2 background studies. Whilst a requirement exists for a diversity of development types this section concentrates specifically on those that will require the greatest land designations. It is, however, important to note that Calder just because a form of development is not discussed in this section it does not mean there is no requirement. The types of development to be considered here in the Local Plan will be for jobs, retail and town centres

dale MBC - A and housing. Such needs are interrelated as, for example, employers require a workforce whilst a workforce requires housing. This consultation document deals primarily with housing growth.

Housing

utumn 2015 2.2 The planned housing provision in the Replacement Calderdale Unitary Development Plan (currently an extant plan) was successfully delivered approximately half way through the plan period with delivery subsequently measured against the RSS (2008). Whilst completion levels have reduced over the last few years following the economic downturn, prior to this completion levels were significantly higher than the RSS housing

P requirement figure leading to overall provision being significantly ahead of that planned in the RSS trajectory. otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan Further detail is provided in the Authority Monitoring Report. The latest 2012 Sub-National Population Projections (SNPP) project the population of Calderdale to grow by around 25,000 people (or 12.3%) between 2012 and 2033 at an average rate of around 1,200 persons per annum. This represents a slight increase to the average annual growth of 1,140 persons seen between 2001 and 2011, indicating that the 2012 SNPP expects Calderdale to continue its population growth trajectory.

Local Evidence for Housing

2.3 The Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) undertaken for the Council by Turley(i) assessed the housing needs of the district in accordance with the requirements of the NPPF and PPG. It utilised the latest (2012 based) population and household projections produced by ONS and CLG as well as both the Regional Econometric Model (REM) and the Cambridge Econometric Model. As well as examining future population growth pressures and the future needs of the economy it also examined a range of other factors with the potential to influence the level of housing needed, including historic development levels and any market signals of imbalance between supply and demand.

2.4 The SHMA analysis results in a range within which the objectively assessed needs of the district fall and from which the housing requirement figure for the Local Plan be determined. This range is relatively narrow rising from 872 dwellings per annum at the lower end to 1169 dwellings per annum at the higher end.

2.5 The Local Plan makes provision to meet its objectively assessed needs for housing. In doing so the Council had regard as to whether this was achievable having regard to environmental and other policy considerations (as advised in the PPG)(ii). These are not inconsiderable factors in a district such as Calderdale with the constraints imposed by its topography, large areas of high landscape value and heritage assets (all matters reflected in the previous distribution of the RSS housing requirement). As demonstrated in the SHMA Calderdale is largely a self-contained housing market area (albeit with links to other areas) and therefore, providing that this is achievable, it is appropriate that it makes provision for its own housing needs. Furthermore, it is clear from joint working with neighbouring local authorities that they face similar challenges in meeting their own housing needs making any additional provision not achievable. Local authorities across the Leeds City Region are employing the same methodology as Calderdale ensuring a consistent approach to the assessment of objectively assessed needs.

2.6 Based on the analysis in the SHMA, together with a number of other factors and policy considerations, the figure of 946 dwellings per annum (or 15,082 dwellings over the plan period) is included in the Local Plan as the most appropriate objectively assessed need figure to meet the district's housing requirements. Setting the housing requirement at this level represents a balanced approach which will boost housing supply, make a significant contribution to meeting affordable housing need and support growth in the labour force (around 300 jobs annually) allowing growth in the economy. The SHMA cautions against relying on the higher figures produced by the economic forecasts since the levels of net in-migration to support job growth would be unprecedented, certainly for a sustained period of time, whilst there are also varying assumptions around the extent to which greater use may be made of the existing labour force. The Single Transport Plan currently

i Shaping the Housing Future of Calderdale - Strategic Housing Market Assessment,Turley, September 2015 ii Planning Practice Guidance, para 2a-005 Scale of Growth 5

in preparation is likely to make commuting easier around West Yorkshire over the plan period with consequential effects for the commuting ratios used in employment forecasts. In providing for the housing needs of the district it is also important to minimise any adverse effects on the character of the district, including the features which make it an attractive place in which to live and work and indeed which are attractive to businesses. Making provision for any point in the range of objectively assessed needs is 2 challenging as demonstrated by the work to identify land allocations for housing where a number of Green Belt sites have had to be allocated along with sites making more limited contributions to the objectives of sustainable development. Should provision be made at the upper end of the range and the economic forecasts not be fulfilled, there would be the risk that housing growth take place without associated job growth leading to unsustainable patterns of growth with negative effects on the environment and landscape that cannot be

repaired and greater out commuting. Consequential effects include less cohesive communities undermining utumn 2015 the social objectives of sustainability and increased house prices as commuters travel to better paid jobs elsewhere reducing affordability for existing local residents.

2.7 The planned level of housing provision should also be viewed in the context of housing requirement figures set in earlier plans. These were much lower with the RCUDP figure being 450 dwellings per annum and the dale MBC - A RSS being 500 stepping up to 670 dwellings per annum. Levels of delivery have never consistently achieved

the objectively assessed needs range with the latest 11 year average being 806 dwellings per annum (ranging Calder from 385 to 1,399 dwellings gross) and covering periods of higher and lower economic activity. This clearly illustrates that the Plan is making attempts to significantly boost housing supply in Calderdale. Delivering this level of housing will be a major challenge for the Local Plan. Work is being undertaken at the Leeds City Region level to understand and increase the role small and medium sized house builders play in housing provision, with a recognition that this sector has diminished over recent years leaving house building consolidated in a small number of volume house builders. A report by the Leeds City Region (unpublished) notes, with reference to earlier research, that whilst these have a role in housing provision their ability to deliver substantial growth is limited by their vulnerability to market volatility and by their business strategies. It is not the role or purpose of private house builders to provide the socially optimum level of new homes. Their business strategy is to manage risk and maximise sale price by building out large sites gradually and not flooding the market with new homes. It is clear that small and medium sized builders will need to make a much greater contribution to provision if the Plan’s level of housing provision is to be met and the work commencing by the City Region should assist this process over the plan period. The level of provision therefore represents a balanced approach which meets housing needs, supports growth in the economy, recognises the environmental and social implications of development and whilst clearly ambitious, this ambition is tempered by the challenges of delivery.

2.8 Clearly when looking so far ahead it is impossible to predict the factors which will influence the housing needs otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan of the district with any certainty, particularly given that household projections represent the outcome of P complex social and economic processes. Should circumstances indicate that these factors have changed this will be reflected through the 'Plan, Monitor and Manage' approach to which the Local Plan will be subjected with the housing requirement figure reviewed at appropriate intervals throughout the plan period.

2.9 The housing requirement figure should also be viewed in the context of the intention to meet need from the base date of the projections and not the plan base date raising the requirement to 1038 dwellings per annum (see below) and levels not achieved consistently before along with with the conservative assumptions made about supply e.g. where the windfall allowance has been set well below historic rates (see Thematic Section on Housing). These factors could be seen to offset the need for the higher figures under the employment scenarios with the requirement clearly set at a suitable level to significantly boost growth.

2.10 In order that a potential constraint on delivering housing provision is avoided delivery has not been phased in the Local Plan. However, the reality is that delivery in the early part of the plan period will be depressed due to effective demand being suppressed by both a slow recovery from the economic downturn which took place around 2008, and the more stringent conditions now being imposed by mortgage lenders. It is anticipated that improved economic circumstances later in the Plan period will give rise to both demand created by people moving to the district to take up jobs and also to allow a release of pent up demand created by people finding it difficult to access housing in the early part of the Plan period. However, the reality in terms of how this will influence demand will become clearer over the plan period as a combination of high house prices in relation to incomes along with the difficulties in obtaining mortgage finance (including the level of deposits required by lenders) may temper effective demand for market housing throughout the Plan period. Whilst housing provision overall is not phased actual land allocations will come forward at different points in the plan period due to site specific factors and this is reflected in the housing delivery trajectory included in the Housing Thematic Section. Delivery in the early part of the plan period, particularly prior to the plan’s formal 6 Scale of Growth

adoption, will be lower as it is only after the plan’s formal adoption that greater certainty can be attached to the allocations. Throughout the plan period the Council will ensure that a five year supply of deliverable sites is maintained as required by the NPPF.

2 2.11 The housing requirement figure of 946 dwellings per annum is a net figure since no allowance is made either for improvements in vacancy levels or for demolitions. The vacancy rate is relatively low with any meaningful

Calder contribution having to come from long term empty properties. There are a range of problems in returning these to the supply as explained in the Housing Thematic Section which considers the various sources of

dale MBC - A supply. Demolitions have generally been low in the past and no significant levels of demolition are planned, a factor also influenced by the fact that the Council is no longer a stock holder. Through its Authority Monitoring Report the Council records both gains and losses to the housing stock whereby any losses are offset against completions to ensure it is the net gain to the overall housing stock that is recorded. This is a continuation of the process followed in relation to the RSS housing requirement figures when detailed information regarding

utumn 2015 future demolitions was also not available. The five year supply will respond to any known losses to the housing stock should these occur during the plan period.

2.12 The plan period runs from 2015/16 to 2031/32 including covering the 15 years beyond the programmed adoption date. This is in accordance with the NPPF which requires local plans to be drawn up over an P

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan appropriate time scale, preferably a 15 year time horizon and take account of longer term requirements. However, the base year for the Objectively Assessed Needs Assessment is 2012, in order to correspond with the most recently published (2012 based) population and household projections. Whilst a High Court judgement(iii) makes it clear that in assessing future housing need plans do not take account of under or over provision against former RSS targets since the SHMA assessment of objectively assessed needs marks a new starting point based on current evidence it is less clear how to respond to a situation where a plan’s base date is later than that of the population and household projections the objectively assessed needs figure is based on. The base date for the population and household projections has traditionally been the starting point for a plan’s housing requirement but this is now complicated by the introduction of objectively assessed needs since this figure will not necessarily be the same as the requirement figure once environmental and other policy considerations have been taken into account as per the PPG.

2.13 Given that the Local Plan meets the objectively assessed need this latter point is less relevant and therefore as the objectively assessed need figure is based on the 2012 population and household projections this is taken as the base date for the housing requirement. Therefore any variation in completion levels for the 3 year period between the plan base date and that of the OANs assessment are added to the overall housing requirement as set out in the Table below. This gives a housing requirement figure of 1,038 dwellings per annum over the plan period and is in the spirit of boosting housing supply as required by the NPPF. It also increases the challenges of delivering the plans’s housing requirement as discussed above with delivery much higher than ever before over a sustained period of time. It should be noted, however, that since the RSS requirement was the relevant development plan figure prior to the assessment of OAN for the Local Plan (and exceeded over the period of the RSS to date) this retrospective requirement does not represent under delivery as defined by the NPPF/PPG.

Previously Developed Land

2.14 The Council has pursued the approach of reusing previously developed (brownfield) land for many years with the RCUDP including a target for "in the order of 85%" of housing to be on brownfield land. This policy has been very successful in recycling land with the target continually exceeded since the adoption of the 2 RCUDP in 2006 as shown in Table 2.2 'Proportion of Housing Achieved on Brownfield Land'. The emphasis in previous national planning policy(iv) towards prioritising reusing brownfield land, the willingness of landowners to bring forward brownfield sites and the market interest in developing apartments all contributed to the high proportions of housing achieved on brownfield land.

2.15 The Council's and indeed much of the community's preference remains a high brownfield target as this has a number of benefits, an obvious one being that it reduces the need to allocate' greenfield' land (land not previously developed) including that currently designated as open space and Green Belt. Many brownfield sites are located in sustainable locations in/adjacent to existing settlements already served by essential infrastructure such as public transport, the necessary utilities and other services and facilities. Development of such sites also helps the regeneration of the older, more run down parts of the district preventing these areas becoming eyesores. The Plan provides the opportunity to re-inforce the principle that large scale comprehensive redevelopments in the older urban areas, many of which may be housing led, will be supported. However, the plan’s approach to brownfield land has to be tempered by the reduced priority given to it in the NPPF, although more recent ministerial statements and the proposed introduction of Local Development Orders to cover all brownfield sites across a local authority’s area are a clear indication that brownfield sites remain a crucial part of the land allocations portfolio. The Plan's approach therefore has to be more flexible than was formerly the case in order to deliver all of the Plan's objectives including meeting the housing needs of the district and maintaining a 5 year supply of housing land as required by the NPPF whilst at the same

time protecting the landscape. Such opportunities are not distributed evenly throughout the district, an important factor in the spatial distribution of the housing allocations.

2.16 Indeed the scale of the housing requirement, if this is to be met, will necessitate the use of land previously 2 developed and also of that not previously developed as demonstrated in the land allocations in the Housing Thematic Section. Site assessments for the land allocations included examining whether brownfield sites

Calder were of high environmental value and therefore not appropriate for development and also whether otherwise suitable brownfield sites were actually developable and deliverable over the course of the Plan period. Much

dale MBC - A of the easier to develop brownfield land has already been developed. In maximising the overall contribution brownfield sites can make to housing provision over the plan period efforts were made to identify and then assess all remaining brownfield sites. This showed that these sites tend to have a number of constraints, particularly larger sites including existing employment activities, quite often at a low density. To release these sites would jeopardise these small businesses risking affecting employment levels across the district. The

utumn 2015 proposed staged introduction of LDOs is also expected to increase the number of brownfield sites coming forward.

2.17 In setting a target for the proportion of housing development to come from brownfield land, whilst important to be realistic, it is also important to be ambitious in order to encourage as much brownfield land as possible P

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan to be redeveloped. The amount of brownfield land included in the land allocations together with that already benefiting from planning permission indicates that around xxxx dwellings could be delivered from these sources. To this figure should be added that from brownfield windfall sites. This figure has been reduced to reflect the fact that with the proposed introduction of Local Development Orders sites previously classed as windfalls will have been identified and therefore no longer meet the definition of windfall. Site size and density will also influence the relative proportions of brownfield and greenfield development. The collapse of the apartment investment market (often on brownfield sites) which were built at high densities helped increase the proportion of brownfield development. Many brownfield sites are in locations where higher densities are more appropriate helping increase the proportion of browfield development. The larger greenfield allocations including settlement extensions will pull in the opposite direction, their scale increasing the proportion of greenfield development. The target of 55% is therefore based on the housing supply with a slight uplift to reflect the aspiration in the Plan to maximise the use of brownfield land. In order to ensure brownfield opportunities are actively pursued this target is set as a minimum with the objective being to achieve a higher figure over the life of the Plan if at all possible.

Policy CP 1

Provision of Housing

The district's housing stock will be improved and increased to provide appropriate accommodation to meet its housing needs, taking account of the economic growth of the district. Provision will therefore be made for in the order of 17,600 additional dwellings (net) to be created within Calderdale between 1st April 2015 and 31st March 2032, or 1,038 dwellings per annum, in order to meet the housing needs of the district.

Priority will be given to maximising the use of previously developed (brownfield) land with a minimum target of 55% for the proportion of new housing built on such land or arising through the conversion of existing buildings over the Local Plan period (TO BE REVIEWED FOLLOWING DETERMINATION OF LAND ALLOCATIONS).

2.18 In the context of the Council’s economic development strategies and the Leeds City Region Strategic Economic Plan, the Local Plan will include policies to encourage employment growth to meet the needs of the population and benefit the economy of the District. It will also identify land allocations to provide for new employment

uses and expansion of existing industry and commerce. utumn 2015

2.19 Work is continuing to assess the number of new jobs required within the plan period. Influencing factors include firstly the demand for jobs (determined by local/regional /national economic growth in the different industry sectors), and secondly the supply, i.e. the labour force (determined by population change and

structure, and participation rates). dale MBC - A

2.20 Current baseline projections for the numbers of jobs (Full time Equivalents) in the District indicate a growth in most sectors, especially Professional and other Private services; Construction; Accommodation, Food Calder and Recreation; Wholesale and Retail; but a decline in the Manufacturing industry.

2.21 A major upgrade of the Model used by districts in the Leeds City Region to forecast future employment is currently in progress, and due to be released in early November 2015. The new Regional Econometric Model will now include more sophisticated population projections and a more detailed consideration of participation rates and commuting patterns, in order to gain a better understanding of the relationship between the areas where people live and work. It is essential to use data from the new upgraded model to assess the future need for jobs and land in Calderdale, as this will provide a more refined assessment than current information. Detailed analysis will be undertaken, with a consideration of different options for encouraging growth, with colleagues in Business and Economy.

2.22 Alongside this work a new Economic Land Review looking at the potential supply of viable sites for economic development in the District will be commissioned.

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan P 10 Distribution of Growth

At this stage of the plan making process the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework for Sustainability Appraisal (including Strategic Environmental Assessment) covering all likely significant effects on the environment, economic and social factors remains to be undertaken. Similarly, 3 a scoping report to determine whether there would be a likely significant effect on the European wildlife sites within and adjacent to the district resulting in the need for an environmental assessment under Calder the Habitats Regulations will be undertaken as the plan progresses. Both of these exercises will inform the final policies relating to growth and the selection of the land allocations. dale MBC - A

Spatial Distribution of Development

3.1 As one of the eleven local authorities making up the Leeds City Region Calderdale plays and will continue

utumn 2015 to play an active role in meeting its share of housing and economic growth to support broader growth across the city region to support the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and its Strategic Economic Plan (SEP). Within a district such as Calderdale with a high quality environment not only the scale of growth but also the distribution of that growth is inevitably a balance between necessary growth and environmental protection.

P These factors were recognised in the former RSS. Since the scale of growth identified in the previous section otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan is to be met within the district the distribution is crucial in order to ensure that in delivering growth the environment which makes the district attractive to businesses and tourism is not harmed.

3.2 Several potential spatial options for the distribution of development were examined during the preparation of the earlier Core Strategy Preferred Options document. These are summarised in the "Reasons for Policies" Document published alongside the Preferred Options version of the Local Development Framework(v). This document also includes the modelling of these spatial options which provided further clarification of the relative sustainability of the various settlements confirming that the eastern areas of Calderdale generally have greater capacity for development than western areas which are more environmentally sensitive, have fewer services and facilities and limited prospects for economic development. Following this general approach meets the requirements of the NPPF enabling the achievement of net gains across all three dimensions of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental).

3.3 Within the district the broad distribution of growth therefore generally reflects the existing settlement hierarchy which is largely a function of the topography and to some extent the environmental capacity of the district. The former RSS in determining a settlement hierarchy for the region recognised the role of Halifax as a Sub-Regional Town and Brighouse as a Principal Town with the majority of development directed to these higher order centres. The evidence underpinning the Local Plan confirms this hierarchy and extends it to include the other settlements in the district as shown in the following table.

3.4 Halifax and Brighouse being higher order settlements will accommodate most growth. The Local Towns (Elland, Sowerby Bridge, Hebden Bridge and Todmorden) will also receive increased levels of development although this will vary between these settlements since the ability of Hebden Bridge to accommodate growth dale MBC - A is less than that of other settlements in this tier. The opportunities presented by the expansion of rail destinations through the Todmorden curve and improvements to Todmorden town centre do provide

development opportunities, albeit these are limited through land availability. The local centres as lower tier Calder settlements generally take less growth but this reflects the greater opportunities in eastern Calderdale with Northowram and Shelf taking more development than other settlements in the same tier in other parts of the district. A small amount of development is also directly planned through the land allocations for some larger Neighbourhood /Small Rural Centres where these are not included in the Green Belt in order help meet local needs. Within this overall distribution factors such as the location of brownfield land, existing employment opportunities, transport links, local environmental factors and the preparation of neighbourhood plans have also influenced the detailed distribution of the land allocations.

Policy CP 2

Distribution of Growth

The overall pattern of growth will be as follows:

The Sub-Regional Town of Halifax will continue to be the prime focus for housing, employment, shopping, leisure, education, health and cultural activities/ facilities. It will provide excellent transport connections

to Leeds, Manchester, Bradford, Huddersfield and other towns and cities of national/ regional importance. otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan P The Principal Town of Brighouse will be a main focus for housing, employment, shopping, leisure, education, health and cultural activities/ facilities. It will provide good transport links with Leeds, Manchester, Bradford, Huddersfield, Halifax and other towns and cities of national/ regional importance. The Local Towns of Elland, Sowerby Bridge, Todmorden and Hebden Bridge will provide housing, employment, shopping (including improvements to markets), leisure, education, health and cultural activities/ facilities that serve the needs of, and are accessible to, residents of the town and surrounding lower order settlements. Employment of district wide significance will be provided at Elland to make the most of its strategic location. The towns will provide good transport links to Leeds, Manchester, and Halifax and other towns and cities of regional importance. The Local Centres of Southowram, Holywell Green & Stainland, Ripponden & Rishworth, Luddenden & Luddendenfoot, and Mytholmroyd will provide for locally generated needs for housing, employment, shopping, leisure, education, health and cultural activities/ facilities. The Local Centres of Northowram and Shelf will see appropriate levels of growth to take advantage of their strategic location between Halifax and Bradford. Limited development will occur in other settlements.

utumn 2015 3.5 Whilst the Plan's overall spatial approach is set out above, a framework is required to guide all forms of development in order to ensure that locations selected for growth, either through the land allocations or determination of individual planning applications, are those that will ensure this growth is in accordance with the principles of sustainable development as required by the NPPF. These include encouraging the effective use of brownfield (previously developed) land, provided that it is not of high environmental value and also P

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan actively managing patterns of growth to make the fullest possible use of public transport, walking and cycling. In doing so it is not the intention to encourage ribbon development between settlements. The phrases accessible locations and good public transport will be defined in the Transport Thematic Section of the Plan.

Policy CP 3

Securing Sustainable Growth

In order to promote development in sustainable locations, reduce travel demand and to protect the countryside, all new development should be sited with regard to the following sequence of locational preferences:

1. On brownfield land within an urban area subject to its potential biodiversity value and which is well related to the road network, accessible by good quality public transport, cycling and walking and to services/facilities within the urban area; 2. On an infill site within the main urban areas accessible by good quality public transport and cycling and walking and close to services/facilities and subject to achieving urban greenspace and conserving or enhancing the character of the area; 3. On a site forming an extension to those settlements named in Policy CP2 (Distribution of Growth) where the use of existing transport infrastructure and capacity can be maximised, including good quality public transport, cycling and walking and with good accessibility to job opportunities and services/facilities. Opportunities for accessibility and infrastructure improvements will be a relevant consideration.

This policy should be read in conjunction with the Thematic Policies section of this document.

Targets Maximum use made of opportunities within urban areas, particularly those on brownfield land The Potential Site Allocations 13

4.1 This section lists all of the potential housing and employment land allocations including potential settlement extensions currently being considered for inclusion in the Local Plan. Once determined the final allocations will be included in the relevant thematic sections of the Plan. Sites which have already been filtered from the process are also shown as part of this consultation. 4 4.2 Overall sufficient land with the potential to accommodate in the order of 18,400 dwellings has been identified (inclusion of the mixed use sites and suggested urban extensions would increase this figure) but further consideration of much of this is dependent on the Green Belt Review (currently in progress) and which is required by the NPPF in order to determine whether the current Green Belt continues to meet the purposes of Green belts as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework. An example of this review exercise is

included in the consultation material accompanying the drop in sessions forming part of this consultation. utumn 2015 Separately from this review any further land to be removed from the Green Belt will require the exceptional circumstances necessary to remove it being adequately justified as required by the National Planning Policy Framework.

4.3 In total over 1500 sites have been assessed with 365 taken forward as potential land allocations. Of the land dale MBC - A currently identified with potential for housing, employment and mixed use 14% is previously developed land (brownfield) whilst 65% lies within the current Green Belt. These figures do not include the suggested urban Calder extensions since at this stage of the plan making process some of the housing, employment and mixed use allocations lie within them rather than forming separate allocations.

4.4 The list of potential allocations included in the following tables has been drawn from the Strategic Housing Land Availability Study (SHLAA), the Employment Land Review (ELR), the Council's land ownership database and sites put forward through the Call for Sites exercise and at the early land allocations engagement workshops held in early 2014. A minimum site size threshold of 0.25ha has been employed. The full site assessment methodology is available on the Council's website https://www.calderdale.gov.uk/environment/planning/planning-policy/local-plan/land-allocations-designations.html.

4.5 In finding suitable and deliverable sites for the land allocations a number of big issues have to be addressed including:

How to allocate sufficient land to meet the district’s requirements whilst maximising the amount of land within settlements and which is brownfield; Maximising the amount of land within settlements but avoiding ‘town cramming’ and retaining/creating a quality environment for exiting residents; Given that insufficient land is available within settlements what approach should be taken? Should a otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan

large number of small additions be made to settlements across the district and/or some significant P settlement extensions be created and if so where?; How can areas of underused commercial and industrial uses be brought forward as comprehensive re-development schemes given that this approach could threaten existing employment and such sites are often not attractive to the market due to multiple ownerships?; Which parts of the Green Belt could be released and does the adequate justification demonstrating the exceptional circumstances necessary to release land from the Green Belt exist?

4.6 The sites with the potential for allocation included in the following tables are considered to broadly meet the requirements of being developable and deliverable at this stage of the plan making process. However, although consultations have taken place with some statutory bodies further engagement is required with these bodies in order to identify issues restricting development either at individual site level or due to the cumulative effect of nearby sites on, for example, the transport network. Where opportunities exist, for example, through the submission of sites in relative proximity to one another a number of settlement extensions are put forward as part of this consultation. With such sites there are greater opportunities to include new infrastructure as part of the development. Sites put forward through the Call For Sites exercise and which lie beyond the 500m buffer employed in the site assessment methodology have been filtered from the process

4.7 The following tables show both the proposed allocations and filtered sites by major settlements. The sites themselves can be viewed on the Council's website (http://map.calderdale.gov.uk/connect/?mapcfg=Local_Plan_Consultation); at the drop in sessions forming part of this consultation (see the Council's website for more details) and at all Calderdale libraries. Your comments on these proposed land allocations will be important to the Council in its considerations as it progresses the Local Plan. 14 The Potential Site Allocations

4.8 The key map below shows the nine areas of the district to which the tables of potential and filtered sites relate.

Picture 4.1 Areas of the District 4 Calder dale MBC - A utumn 2015 P otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan

4.9 Definition of Potential Site Allocations:

Potential New Housing Sites – The site has potential for new housing development. Potential New Employment Site – The site has potential for new employment development. Potential New Mixed Use Sites – These are sites which have been assessed with potential for housing or employment or both. Potential Urban Extensions – These are significant areas which could potentially support the large scale of growth required in the district including services, facilities and infrastructure. They could provide an alternative to allocating a larger number of smaller sites spread across the district. Filtered Sites – Following the site assessments these sites are those which are no longer currently being considered for housing or employment use. This could be for a number of reasons including the proximity of the site to the existing settlement boundary, constraints such as the risk of flooding and damage to areas important for nature conservation, or because the site is below the size threshold for allocation ( 0.25ha) or already has planning permission. 4.1 Brighouse

5.1 Climate change, as the government states, "is one of the most serious environmental threats facing the world" (www.decc.gov.uk, 2012). The impacts resulting from a changing climate will not only be environmental, but social and economic as well. Environmental impacts are predicted to include extreme weather events, rising temperatures, changes in biodiversity, and flooding. Social impacts are predicted to include negative impacts on health, as a result of heat waves and floods. Economic impacts were highlighted in the Stern 5 Report(vi) which stated that if action were not taken, the costs of climate change would be equivalent to losing 5% global GDP each year, whilst the costs of acting in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions would be around 1% GDP each year.

5.2 Climate change is caused by the release of Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere. GHGs

include Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane, Nitrous Oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulphur utumn 2015 hexafluoride. The main contributors are Carbon Dioxide, which accounted for approximately 84% of the UK's (vii) man made greenhouse gas emissions in 2010, Methane (CH4), and Nitrous Oxide (N2O). The Energy

Supply and Transport sectors are the main contributors to CO2 emissions, whilst agriculture is the main contributor to both Methane and Nitrous Oxide emissions. dale MBC - A 5.3 Climate Change is relevant to the majority of all the topic areas that are addressed within the Core Strategy. National Planning Policy in the form of the NPPF expresses the government's objective that "planning should Calder fully support the transition to a low carbon economy, taking full account of flood risk.....and water supply and demand considerations". In order to support the move towards a low carbon energy, Calderdale's local plan is required to provide a planning policy framework that :

Reduces greenhouse gas emissions; Supports energy efficiency improvements to existing buildings; and Is consistent with the Government's zero carbon buildings policy and adopted national standards.

5.4 There are a number of distinct elements to the Climate Change Policy which cut across a number of specific policy topics as follows:

Sustainable Transport; Sustainable Design and Construction; Renewable and Low Carbon Energy; Flood Risk; and Biodiversity.

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan Flood Risk Biodiversity High Quality Inclusive Design 213

6.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) establishes that the overriding purpose of the planning function is to achieve sustainable development and recognises high quality design as being crucial in its realisation:

‘Good design is a key aspect of sustainable development, is indivisible from good planning and should 6 contribute positively to making places better for people’.

6.2 Further, the Government states that ‘it is important to plan positively for the achievement of high quality and inclusive design for all development, including individual buildings, public and private spaces and wider area development schemes’. utumn 2015 6.3 Good design facilitates, and contributes to local distinctiveness, a sense of place, and civic pride. It can improve and enhance the existing environment and helps to attract people, businesses and investment. The quality of architecture and design are both significant to the impact of development in urban and rural areas, with good development requiring an understanding of the context in which it takes place. dale MBC - A 6.4 Appropriately designed buildings, places and spaces help to create attractive environments that set a positive context for the creation of successful places and sustainable communities. Design is not solely about how development looks, but how it functions and how well it meets the needs of present and future users. The Calder Council is committed to achieving high quality buildings and places across the borough. A key component of this is to ensure that all new development adopts high standards of design.

6.5 Calderdale has a rich and varied heritage, both in terms of the built environment and its landscapes. From the early expansion of settlements for agricultural and trading purposes, through the industrial revolution, and particularly the rise of the textile trade, the present day communities of Calderdale have inherited a very significant historic environment asset base. Calderdale’s history can be defined through its landscape and stone buildings, and these aspects form a key part of its present day distinctiveness.

6.6 By incorporating high quality design principles into all new development, the built environment can be enhanced, taking account of the local character and local individuality of Calderdale's towns and villages. The Council will however encourage outstanding architecture and design in both contemporary and more traditional styles providing it is compatible with, and reinforces the established local distinctiveness.

6.7 New development will be required to demonstrate that it is appropriate to the character and context of the local and surrounding environment. This will require consideration of not just the aesthetics of the development, but how the development addresses the connections between people and places and the integration of new

development into the natural, built and historic environment. otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan P

6.8 As such design covers issues of:

Aesthetics – ensuring that development establishes a strong sense of place using streetscapes and buildings to create attractive and comfortable places to live, work and visit. Design policy aims to generate development that is visually appealing as a result of good architecture which responds to the established character of the borough and enhances such local distinctiveness.

Development should create safe and accessible environments where crime and fear of crime do not undermine quality of life or social cohesion. Aesthetics includes a range of factors including height, massing, scale, form, siting, materials, landscaping and boundary treatment.

Function – a building or place should be fit for purpose, designed and delivered in a way that delivers the intended function and achieves value for money in terms of lifetime costs. Function will include layout and access considerations, ensuring access for all members of the community and reducing the obesogenic environment.

Development should be intuitive, comfortable and safe, whilst relating well to its environmental circumstances so that occurrences such as flooding, temperature extremes and air pollution do not prevent it from being used.

Sustainability – Design policy should ensure that new development both, residential and non-residential demonstrates a commitment to sustainable design and construction, increasing energy efficiency and promoting the use of sustainable low or zero forms of renewable energy generation. 214 High Quality Inclusive Design

There are also some overlapping functional aspects to consider such as the inclusion of ‘trip-end’ facilities in workplaces to encourage the use of more sustainable forms of transport, the creation of places offering a wide mixture of uses and ensuring a place is durable and adaptable making it less resource hungry over time. 6 6.9 The ‘obesogenic environment’ refers to environments that help contribute to obesity. The design of the built

Calder environment has a role to play in limiting these factors through, for example ‘point-of-decision prompts’ such as encouraging stair use over lift use in buildings, enhancing access to healthy food and encouraging easy

dale MBC - A access to open space and areas where communities may be physically active.

6.10 Good design is important at all spatial scales, from the individual building level (both in internal layout and external architectural details) to the wider neighbourhood and even settlement scale. It will therefore consider outside spaces, local public amenity land and shared spaces equally, alongside the built form. While good

utumn 2015 design is important for all types of development, housing design in particular is a focus for the Council. The Calderdale Housing Strategy 2012-2017 sets out the ambitions of the Council to help reduce the amount of poor quality housing and increase the number of decent homes. Although much of the housing strategy work relates to the improvement of the existing housing stock, the design of new housing has an equally important role to play. P otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan 6.11 The NPPF states that Local Planning Authorities should have local design review arrangements in place to provide assessment and support to ensure high standards of design. Schemes in Calderdale that are likely to have a significant landscape or townscape impact will be expected to undertake a design review as part of the application process. For Calderdale, a regional design review service is available through Integreat plus, a peer-review panel who operate in keeping with the principles and practice guidance agreed by Design Council CABE, RIBA, RTPI and the Landscape Institute. Design review is most effective at the pre-planning application stage and provides a positive opportunity to improve scheme design at an early stage in the process.

6.12 In addition to design review, a number of design tools are available to help evolve and assess the design elements of proposed new developments, including for example:

6.13 The following policy is proposed to ensure that high quality, inclusive design is integrated into all future developments:

6 Policy CP 5

High Quality, Inclusive Design

New developments will ensure high quality, inclusive design and demonstrate a holistic approach to design quality. Applicants' Design and Access Statements will demonstrate consideration of the aesthetics, function utumn 2015 and sustainability of proposed new developments over the lifetime of the development:

Aesthetics – the design style proposed in new developments should respect or enhance the character and appearance of existing buildings and surroundings, taking account of its local context and

distinctiveness, in particular any heritage assets. Contemporary, innovative design will be encouraged dale MBC - A where it can be demonstrated that this will not harm the significance of any designated heritage assets in its vicinity, including, where relevant, their setting. Function – design will consider issues around access and ease of movement within and through the Calder development by all sectors of the community and by all modes of transport; the general layout of the scheme within the context of its surroundings; health implications including the modification of the obesogenic environment; safety issues such as land stability, pollution and mining legacy; and secured by design principles to promote community safety and crime prevention measures. Sustainability - climate change, energy efficiency and water efficiency measures will be central to the design of new developments in line with the requirements set out in the Sustainable Design and Construction policy. Design will put sustainable forms of transport (walking, cycling and public transport) above other motor vehicles, including measures of support such as ‘trip-end’ facilities in work places.

Proposals relating to new housing should be in line with design requirements set out in this Plan's Housing Section on density, quality and mix, and the Council's latest Housing Strategy.

Developments that are likely to have a significant landscape or townscape impact will be subject to Design Review; this should be undertaken at pre-application stage to ensure that proposals are not sufficiently advanced to implement any potential design changes. otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan

P 216 Sustainable Design and Construction

7.1 The primary function of the planning system, as set out within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and supported by National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) is to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. The need to facilitate the transition to a low carbon future in a changing climate is cited as a core principle of the NPPF. 7 7.2 At the heart of sustainable design and construction is the aspiration of creating buildings that meet the needs

Calder of building users and the wider community whilst avoiding or reducing the harmful impacts associated with the construction and operation of the building. dale MBC - A 7.3 Developments and their construction contribute a significant amount to the UK’s carbon emissions. The Council acknowledges the need to ensure new development is as environmentally sustainable as possible to support its commitment to protecting and enhancing the environment and tackling climate change. The sustainability of homes and other buildings as part of development proposals offer the potential to generate

utumn 2015 significant carbon savings and the provision of renewable energy. Incorporating sustainable design and construction principles to all scales and types of development will minimise environmental impacts and ultimately mitigate for, and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

7.4 There are many opportunities to integrate climate change mitigation and adaptation objectives into the Local P

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan Plan. Mitigation relates to the causes of climate change and is principally addressed through the control of greenhouse gas emissions by means such as the provision of sustainable transport, opportunities for renewable and low carbon energy technologies, opportunities for decentralised energy and heating and the promotion of low carbon design approaches to reduce energy consumption in buildings.

7.5 Adaptation is associated with the consequences of climate change, and involves actions such as the consideration of future climate risks when allocating development sites, promotion of adaptation measures in design policies, flood risk considerations for the lifetime of the development and the availability of water and associated infrastructure along with design responses to promote water efficiency and protect water quality.

7.6 Such measures should be considered at an early stage, and throughout the development process in order to reduce costs and ensure the borough will be more adequately equipped to deal with future impacts of climate change.

7.7 Whilst the planning function may only have a limited impact on increasing the energy efficiency of existing buildings, policy should ensure that new non-residential development demonstrates a commitment to sustainable design and construction, increasing energy efficiency through design and promoting the use of sustainable low or zero forms of renewable energy generation in order to increase the sustainability of the building stock throughout Calderdale.

7.8 The Deregulation Act has made a significant change to the Planning and Energy Act 2008, by removing the clause which enabled Local Authorities to establish any additional local technical standards or requirements relating to the construction, internal layout or performance of new dwellings. The introduction of a new simplified Technical Housing Standard to be incorporated into the Building Regulation regime will establish standards for water consumption, energy, accessibility, security and space.

7.9 The amendment to the Planning and Energy Act only applies to buildings that provide dwellings. Non-domestic development is therefore not affected and Breeam conditions will remain part of the Council’s tools to promote sustainable design and construction of buildings. Sustainable Design and Construction 217

Policy CP 6

Sustainable Design and Construction 7 All new residential development will be expected to incorporate sustainable design and construction principles throughout the development process in line with the Government’s objective of setting energy standards through the Building Regulations function.

All new non-residential development will be expected to meet at least BREEAM level ‘very good’ with immediate

effect, subject to review over the plan period to ensure the target remains relevant. The demonstration of the utumn 2015 achievement of this standard should be set out in the Energy Statement.

All development proposals will be encouraged to reflect high quality design and high environmental standards, demonstrating sustainable construction methods including but not limited to: dale MBC - A Minimising both energy demands and energy loss Maximising passive solar lighting and natural ventilation Calder Maximising resource efficiency Incorporating the use of recycled and energy efficient materials Incorporating the use of locally sourced building materials Reducing waste and pollution and making adequate provision for the recycling of waste Making use of sustainable drainage methods Reducing the impact on the external environment and maximising opportunities for cooling and shading (for example by the provision of open space and water, planting and green roofs) and; Maximising the reuse of existing resources and materials to minimise waste and the loss of embodied energy associated with the production of building materials and products.

The onus will be on the developer to demonstrate why the requirements cannot be met, for example where the application of the policy would conflict with other policy objectives, or where it can be satisfactorily shown that implementing the standards would not be feasible or financially viable, undermining delivery of the development. otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan P 218 Housing

Please note that parts of this section and particularly those relating to the housing land allocations will be completed once the actual land allocations to be included in the draft local plan have been determined following this consultation and further consultation with the relevant statutory bodies and 8 completion of the green belt review. This includes the housing trajectory. Figures relating to the other sources of housing supply will be subject to further analysis but are included here to provide an Calder indication of the scale of the housing land allocations.

dale MBC - A The draft text demonstrates how the emerging Local Plan may develop but will be fully reviewed following determination of the housing land allocations. You may wish to comment on the approach set out below.

utumn 2015 8.1 Successive Government's have sought to both increase and improve the quality of the housing stock in order to meet the needs of present and future generations. Nationally the shortage of housing and particularly affordable housing is well documented. Local Authorities through their Local Plans and Housing Strategies have a major role to play in achieving this objective by controlling the location and scale of housing land

P allocations, encouraging and enabling improvements to the existing housing stock and influencing the building otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan programmes of Registered Providers. The scale of the housing requirement to be met through the Local Plan is discussed in the earlier section entitled 'Scale of Growth Required' whilst more detailed matters such as the actual land allocations, type, size and affordability of housing and the needs of specific groups such as gypsies and travellers are discussed here.

Delivering the housing requirement figure

Sources of housing supply

8.2 Whilst the housing needs of the district are to be met largely from new land allocations there are other sources of housing supply that have a role to play. These primarily include extant planning permissions and windfall sites as shown in Table 8.1 'Sources of Housing Land Supply' . At this stage of plan preparation firm figures are not available for all the sources of supply. The figures provided are intended to indicate the level of housing growth that will need to be met by new land allocations. These various components of housing land supply are discussed below:

Completions - Since the overall housing requirement has been adjusted to reflect the Local Plan base date (see earlier section on Scale of Growth) there are, as yet, no annual completions to include. Reference to completions here is for clarity.

RCUDP Allocations - The remaining housing and mixed use allocations in the Replacement Calderdale Unitary Development Plan were re-assessed during the land allocations work with those found deliverable carried forward into the Local Plan.

Extant Planning Permissions - Over recent quarters the Council’s Housing Land Availability database (HLA) has shown that there are consistently sufficient planning permissions to deliver around 3,100 dwellings. In order to ascertain the actual quantum of dwellings that will be delivered a questionnaire survey of applicants/agents is undertaken as part of the SHLAA Review process but unfortunately the response rate has been low. This approach is complimented by the views of housebuilder representatives on the SHLAA Working Group. The HLA database shows that when averaged over a number of years fewer than 2% of planning permissions actually lapse. For forward planning purposes it is appropriate to take a conservative view of the potential contribution from existing planning permissions. The overall figure has therefore been reduced by 10% (the same approach as taken with the RCUDP and also reflected in research by the DOE(viii)) which allows for the fact that some permissions will lapse and/or be renewed to keep them ‘live’ whilst not all will be completely built out. At the plan base date there were 3,034 dwellings with planning permission (HLA database/March 2015 Review). Reducing this by 10% provides a figure of 2,730 dwellings (rounded).

Windfall sites - Sites which have not been specifically identified as available in the Local Plan process including in the SHLAA. They normally comprise previously developed sites that have unexpectedly become available. The NPPF states that these may be included in the 5 year supply if there is compelling

viii Housing Land Availability, DoE 1995 Housing 219

evidence that such sites have consistently become available in the local area and will continue to provide a reliable source of supply. Information regarding past windfall rates and their contribution to the five year supply is included in the SHLAA. On average over the twelve year period from 2003/04 to 2014/15 (a period of both high and low economic activity) windfalls accounted for 458 dwelling completions annually. This shows the important contribution such sites have made to housing supply 8 in Calderdale and clearly windfalls will continue to make a contribution to housing supply over the Plan period. A number of factors will influence the level of this contribution. Neighbourhood Plans, recent changes to permitted development rights for change of use from B1 office to residential use and the relaxed prior notification procedure to change from retail and agricultural uses to residential all have the potential to contribute to the level of windfalls coming forward. Taking all these consideration into

account an allowance of 200 dwellings per year from windfalls is included throughout the plan period, utumn 2015 other than for the first three years in order to reflect the fact that most windfalls that will contribute to the supply in the first 3 years are already likely to have planning permission. Whilst representing just over 15% (15.9%) of the Plan's housing requirement, it is very much a conservative estimate when viewed against long term historic rates. It is, however, an approach aimed at boosting housing supply, a key objective of the NPPF. Given that many windfalls occur within existing settlements they tend to dale MBC - A be in sustainable locations and as such in accordance with the principles of the NPPF. The contribution

from windfalls will continue to be monitored and will be reflected in the annual five year supply Calder assessments.

Small Identified Sites – Given that the SHLAA employed a threshold of 0.1ha there remain sites identified in the Local Plan process (and therefore not windfalls) which fall below the Local Plan site allocation threshold of 0.25ha but which have the potential to add to the supply of housing. Some of the factors mentioned above with the potential to influence windfall rates also apply to these sites. Taking all of these factors into consideration a conservative estimate of xx dwellings per annum (other than the first 3 years) is included in the supply. FIGURE TO BE PROVIDED FOLLOWING FURTHER ANALYSIS OF SHLAA SITES 0.1 - 0.249HA IN SIZE.

Empty dwellings - As at April 2015 there were 1692 empty dwellings (defined as empty for 6 months or longer) in the district and the Council through its Housing Service is actively pursuing initiatives to bring these back into residential use. However, many such properties can be difficult to bring back into residential use (as documented in the Council’s Empty Homes Strategy 2010-2015 and reflected in the SHMA) and it is therefore difficult to quantify the contribution empty properties may make to delivering housing over the plan period and therefore a figure has not been included here for this source.

Other initiatives - Initiatives that are underway, including those in the Local Investment Plan, have otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan P the potential to contribute to the supply of housing but due to the lack of certainty surrounding some of these proposals together with the fact that they could be argued to duplicate the windfall allowance no figure has been included in the Plan.

New Allocations - The remaining requirement is met through new land allocations.

8.3 The housing land allocations reflect the spatial strategy for growth set out in Policy CP 2 'Distribution of Growth'. This ensures the housing needs of each settlement are taken into account since the higher order settlements generate the greatest need. However, the detailed distribution of the allocations must also reflect a number of other important considerations. The methodology(ix) followed in selecting the allocations explains how alternative sites were tested in order to arrive at sites best meeting the objective of sustainable development by avoiding those, or pursuing alternative options, to reduce or eliminate impacts where there is a conflict with any of the dimensions of sustainable development in accordance with the NPPF.

8.4 One key consideration is infrastructure and it is the higher order settlements where there is the greatest provision or where there are opportunities to provide new infrastructure and/or upgrade existing infrastructure, in some cases as a result of the proposed settlement extensions. Increases in traffic levels resulting from both new housing and also the general forecast increase in car growth will place pressures on the transport network which can be better addressed around settlements such as Halifax where the proposed urban extensions will provide the scale of development necessary to attract funding for enhanced transport infrastructure. In Elland where much of the existing infrastructure is under pressure growth will provide an opportunity to both protect and upgrade this infrastructure, including a new railway station. The smaller settlements along with those in the west of the district, other than to some extent Todmorden, present fewer opportunities to make improvements to transport infrastructure and in particular that based on roads. Opportunities to utilise/improve existing public transport assisting with the objective of sustainable development are generally to be found around the higher order settlements.

8.5 Other infrastructure considerations such as that provided by the utilities has not directly influenced the allocations since all of the utilities state that they can respond to the planned level of growth, either by using existing infrastructure or by reinforcing it. Education and health infrastructure being prone to governmental policy changes and accompanying reorganisations is more difficult to take into account when looking forward over the period of the Local Plan. By providing clarity about where housing growth is to take place providers of such infrastructure can respond to additional requirements.

8.6 Opportunities for increasing employment are not evenly spread across the district with the main opportunities being in/adjacent to the higher order settlements of Halifax, Brighouse and Elland in the east of the district. In order to reduce levels of commuting it is important that housing growth is aligned with opportunities to increase employment growth. There are also potential opportunities for employment growth in the neighbouring district of Kirklees close to the district boundary to which residents of new housing in the east of the district will have access.

8.7 It is also very important to ensure that when considering the broad distribution of housing growth environmental factors are taken into account. These include the Special Protection Area/Special Area of Conservation and its buffer. Topographical and flooding constraints are also important when considering the specified proportion of growth to attribute to individual settlements. Not only are there practical issues associated with building

ix Methodology for Assessing Housing Land Allocations,Calderdale MBC, 2015 Housing 221

on steep slopes but the impact on the landscape can be pronounced having a detrimental affect on the character of settlements such as Hebden Bridge. Risks associated with flooding reduce the opportunities for housing, particularly in valley bottom locations, resulting in the need to take advantage of opportunities free from such constraints such as occur around large parts of Halifax, Brighouse, Elland and Northowram/Shelf. 8

8.8 The outcome of the Green Belt Review(x) has also influenced the distribution of the housing allocations with it being clear where the boundary is to be changed and where it is not having regard to the purposes of including land in the green belt. This has precluded a number of sites put forward via the SHLAA process from being taken forward. Other sites located within the Green Belt are released where there is adequate

justification demonstrating the exceptional circumstances necessary to release land from the Green Belt. utumn 2015

8.9 The provision of affordable housing is a key objective of the Plan and, given the current national site thresholds for seeking affordable housing from market developments, it is predominantly in the higher order settlements, particularly Halifax, Brighouse and Elland, where there are sufficient of sites of an appropriate scale to enable

significant contributions to be sought. Larger sites also offer greater opportunities to achieve a greater housing dale MBC - A mix with such sites generally being in/adjacent to the higher order settlements.

8.10 It is also the higher order centres such as Halifax where there are potentially the greatest opportunities for Calder regenerating older parts of the urban fabric and thereby contributing to the proportion of development on previously developed land. Opportunities for re-using previously developed land have also influenced the housing land allocations.

8.11 The ability of sites to actually deliver housing has also influenced the overall distribution of housing with a significant number of sites put forward by landowners who have indicated a willingness to bring their sites forward as demonstrated in the SHLAA. Some of these, particularly around the larger settlements of Halifax, Brighouse and other settlements in the east of the district such as Northowram and Shelf are of a significant size and either alone or in conjunction with neighbouring sites make a significant contribution to housing growth.

8.12 In allocating sites consideration has also been given to the need to provide sites of a size appropriate to meet the needs of smaller builders who have traditionally provided much of the housing in Calderdale. Such sites may also be of a scale of interest to those wishing to follow the growing trend of self build/custom build.

8.13 The nature of certain settlements has also formed part of the considerations. Hebden Bridge requires a certain level of growth given its status as a tier 3 settlement whilst acknowledging the constraints on otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan

development and the need to safeguard its character. Todmorden requires growth to reverse the decline P that has taken place in recent years. Opportunities are required in tier 4 settlements to at least contribute to meeting their housing needs beyond simply relying on windfalls and provide a steer for neighbourhood plans. To go further and fully meet objectively assessed needs in some of these settlements would have severe environmental and sustainability implications, particularly in the west of the district whereas in the east settlements such as Northowram and Shelf present greater opportunities for growth which accords with the overall spatial strategy of the Plan. Only a limited amount of housing is allocated to the tier 5 settlements given their more limited role.

8.14 The land allocations contain a mix of sites ranging from small brownfield sites within the urban areas to greenfield settlement extensions on the edges of the major settlements. This balanced portfolio of sites will deliver the housing needs of the district and enable delivery by both small and large housebuilders as well as those wishing to build their own homes. Of the allocations several are sites formerly allocated in the RCUDP which have been carried forward into the Local Plan.

8.15 The housing trajectory indicates when sites are likely to come forward and is based on information regarding constraints, infrastructure requirements, developers’ intentions and build out rates (as agreed with housebuilder representatives on the SHLAA Working Group). This is not a phasing of sites but a reflection of likely delivery rates based on the best information available at the time of preparing the Local Plan and progress will be monitored through the Monitoring Report prepared annually by the Council. Generally information relating to sites in the latter part of the Plan Period cannot be as definite as that for sites expected to come forward earlier in the Plan Period. The Council has however, identified sites for the full plan period as opposed to only broad locations for the later years. The deliverability of sites will be kept under review in order that a 5 year supply of housing land is maintained. x Green Belt Review, Calderdale MBC,2015 222 Housing

8.16 The following tables show the housing site allocations in settlement hierarchy order. An indicative density is employed for forward planning purposes and based on the density assumptions in the SHLAA. These vary with location ranging from 60dph in the most accessible urban locations to 26dph in more less accessible locations. Where more detailed information exists eg draft site layout, this is taken into consideration. The 8 actual density to be delivered will be determined at the time of a planning application when all detailed matters will be known. The larger housing sites will include the full range of supporting uses including open space, Calder schools, shops, community and health facilities and, in some cases, employment.

Non-Allocated Sites

8.17 In addition to the allocated sites proposals on non-allocated sites, both brownfield and greenfield, will also continue to come forward and contribute to the district's housing supply. These will generally be supported provided that they are in sustainable locations and complement the overall spatial strategy and objectives of the Local Plan and are in accordance with other Local Plan policies. Whilst the Policy on Non-Allocated Sites is primarily aimed at smaller sites under 0.4ha there remains the potential for larger non-allocated sites to come forward. A fundamental consideration will be the accessibility of a site to services and facilities by good quality public transport, cycling and walking. For the purpose of the Policy walking distance is taken as within 400 metres of a bus stop or 750 metres of a railway station. In the case of local services such as convenience shops, post offices, health centres/surgeries and primary schools easy walking distance is taken as 750 metres. These distances broadly reflect those used by West Yorkshire Metro but should be interpreted with care taking into account the individual circumstances of a site, including matters such as topography and the amenity and general safety of any route. Other considerations will include the amenity and character of existing residential areas including the effects of residential development on existing gardens. Existing and planned infrastructure should be able to cater for the development, including the ability of schools in the areas to accommodate additional pupils. Whilst not an exhaustive list, examples of heritage assets to be preserved or enhanced under point 7 of the Policy include Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings. Housing 223

High quality housing in high quality environments otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan 8.18 A number of features comprise high quality residential environments, principal amongst these are residential P density, design, energy efficiency/use of renewable energy and improvements to the existing (particularly older) dwelling stock. These matters are also addressed in the Council's Housing Strategy(xi) where specific detailed actions to be undertaken by the Council are listed. Many of these are specific actions the Council proposes to undertake through its enabling role and are too detailed to be directly covered by the Local Plan.

Residential Density

8.19 In order to achieve the Plan's Vision and Strategic Objectives, particularly in relation to housing but not exclusively, the density at which housing developments are constructed is important given that this affects both the quality of the residential environment and also the amount of land developed for housing. The Local Plan therefore seeks to achieve a balance between the efficient use of land and the provision of high quality residential developments to meet the district's housing needs. A significant proportion of these needs is for one person households, particularly for the growing elderly population, and whilst demand may be for houses some of this could be met through greater provision of flatted accommodation with its consequent smaller land take. Conversely there is also some demand for bungalows to meet the needs of the elderly which is not an efficient use of land. Through the implementation of well thought out and designed schemes the residential density achieved will be higher than may otherwise be the case. Given that the district's housing need can only be met through the use of settlement extensions on land formerly within the Green Belt it is imperative that higher densities are utilised where appropriate to ensure land is utilised efficiently. Higher densities also increase the patronage for public transport thus helping to maintain existing services or provide sufficient justification for new or extended facilities.

xi Housing Strategy 2012-2017, Calderdale MBC, April 2014 224 Housing

8.20 The majority of new housing will be on the land allocations and the approach to density for these sites is explained in the earlier section covering new land allocations. Where appropriate settlement extensions will be accompanied by site briefs and/or master plans which will include information on density. The net density of 30dph successfully implemented through the RCUDP is carried forward into the Local Plan as a general 8 minimum requirement. When determining planning applications on both the allocated and non-allocated sites density will be based on a number of key considerations. Principle amongst these are site location and size Calder along with local circumstances.

dale MBC - A 8.21 Higher densities will be required in more sustainable locations such as around the main town centres and close to main public transport routes and bus and rail stations. As many brownfield sites are within the existing urban areas these will generally be subject to higher density requirements but the biodiversity value of sites will also need to be taken into consideration. There may be circumstances where lower densities are appropriate, for example, proposals for garden developments where potential harm to the local area could

utumn 2015 result. Further information on the relationship between site location and size in relation to density is provided in the SHLAA.

8.22 Net dwelling density is defined as including only those site areas which will be developed for housing and directly associated uses, including access roads within the site, private garden space, car parking areas, P

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan incidental open space and landscaping and children's play areas, where these are provided.

Residential Density

The site allocations in Policy TP 1 'Housing Land Allocations' will be developed broadly in accordance with the stated indicative densities or as expressed through site briefs and/or master plans.

All new housing developments including conversion schemes shall use land efficiently and achieve a minimum net density of at least 30 dwellings per hectare.

In appropriate locations higher densities of development will be expected including:

1. In and around the main town centres; and 2. Close to main public transport routes and bus and rail stations

Lower densities will only be accepted where justified by special circumstances including:

1. The character of the site itself including any biodiversity value; 2. The character of the surrounding area; 3. The need to preserve the amenity of existing or future residents; 4. The availability of local facilities and infrastructure; 5. The need to influence the housing mix of an area.

High Quality Housing

8.23 The Section on Sustainable Design and Construction covers the Council's approach to design and sustainable construction generally whilst the Section on Climate Change covers issues of climate change. The Housing 225

requirements of these sections also apply to residential developments with Policy TP 4 'High Quality Housing' focusing specifically on residential developments. The NPPF requires Local Plans to deliver high quality homes. To meet this objective both new and existing stock must provide high quality accommodation in high quality neighbourhoods whilst at the same time responding to the requirements of climate change. 8 8.24 Space Standards: Housing in England is generally unregulated by legally binding minimum space standards unlike much of the rest of Europe. The social rented sector works to minimum space standards and this is reflected in the Council's Housing Strategy but no equivalent standards exist for private market developments. To counter the negative consequences of cramped housing conditions the Government has published a national set of space standards which are adopted in the Plan. Given that that the Local Plan looks forward

over 17 years it is important to ensure that the accommodation built is of a suitable quality to meet the future utumn 2015 needs of the population. An assessment of space standards undertaken as part of the viability assessment of the Local Plan suggests that they would be viable, at least in some parts of the district. Historically the Council has not monitored the floorspace of new dwellings (although the type and size by number of bedrooms is monitored) and will need a suitable monitoring period to produce a reliable picture of the floorspace of new residential developments across the district. Should the evidence support the implementation of the national dale MBC - A space standards whilst retaining the viability of developments the Council will consider their introduction

during the plan period. Calder

8.25 Energy: Over a number of years, the Council has devised and sustained a number of programmes of housing improvements and it is vital that the momentum of these initiatives to improve the existing housing stock are maintained and possibly increased in the future. The Council's Housing Service has identified a number of improvement schemes in its Housing Strategy and Local Investment Plan (LIP) including the means of achieving these, with a regeneration programme currently underway in North Halifax.

8.26 The 2009 Private Sector Stock Condition Survey found that 12,500 privately owned homes do not meet the decent homes standard, the majority of these fail the standard due to excess cold hazards. Most of the disrepair is in the older stock with the predominant house type being the stone terrace, almost half the stock is over 100 years old and around 8,000 are back to back houses. The stone properties are hard to treat in terms of insulation making energy costs and carbon emissions higher. This is seen as an urgent issue in the Housing Strategy and the Council therefore, whilst not having the budget to carry out a further full stock condition survey, has jointly commissioned (with the other West Yorkshire local authorities) the Building Research Establishment to undertake research on housing conditions. This will pull together and analyse data from a wide range of sources in order to provide an up to date picture of stock and energy efficiency conditions in the local private housing market. However, the Council anticipates this research will demonstrate

that excess cold remains the largest issue in the existing stock. To address this problem a number of measures otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan have been undertaken recently with others planned. These include a Leeds City Region wide project to make P energy improvements to 1300 Calderdale homes before 2018, and the Council’s 1.4 million pound programme of Affordable Warmth works to tackle fuel poverty.

8.27 Long term empty dwellings: Reducing the number of vacant dwellings across the district helps in maintaining the district’s housing stock whilst preventing residential environments being blighted by long term empty properties. There will always be a number of vacant dwellings and properties for sale to enable the housing market to operate (3% is an accepted norm). It is the long term empty properties where action is required. There are 1692 empty private dwellings (April 2015) and the Council through its Empty Properties Strategy, having made progress on reducing the number of empty dwellings over the last few years, will continue to actively pursue initiatives to bring the remaining dwellings back into residential use. If action is not undertaken, then the likelihood of housing demolition will increase, possibly leading to the need for further land to be allocated for new housing development.

8.28 Limited Demolition: Whilst the Council’s objective is to keep demolitions to a minimum through upgrading of the occupied stock, where improvements are not feasible it may be necessary to carry out limited programmes of demolition. Whilst no large scale clearance programmes of privately owned housing are currently identified there are a number of properties owned by the Together Housing Group programmed for demolition. 226 Housing

Housing Mix

8.29 The NPPF requires Local Plans to deliver a wide choice of high quality homes and create sustainable, inclusive and mixed communities. In order to achieve this local plans should, amongst other things, plan for a mix of housing based on current and future demographic trends, market trends and the needs of different groups in the community. They should also identify the size, type, tenure and range of housing that is required. This section primarily concerns the overall relationship between households and size and types of property required with the needs of specific groups considered in subsequent sections of this chapter, although clearly there are linkages between the two. By influencing the types and sizes of dwellings built the Plan can also have some influence on the prices of dwellings, although it cannot affect these directly.

8.30 The SHMA clearly shows that the demographic and economic profile of the district is likely to change over the Plan period with the housing market needing to react to these changes. Modelling undertaken as part of the SHMA provides an indication of the future need for different types of property within Calderdale. Examining projected changes to household composition shows a considerable increase in the number of one person households in particular, with notable growth also expected in family households with dependent children, including lone parents.

8.31 As the SHMA notes matching changing household composition profiles with the sizes and types of housing required is challenging. A simplistic matching of the number of persons in a household to a size of property is not appropriate, and fails to take account of market choice or household aspirations. Taking account of this fact and utilising data contained in the English Housing Survey 2013, the SHMA provides an indication of the sizes and related property types likely to be required across Calderdale. This analysis illustrated that property size requirements are relatively similar across the scenarios presented in the SHMA. The findings are summarised in Table 8.6 'Size and Type of Property Required'. Whilst the SHMA is the main source of evidence for determining housing mix, other information including more recent updates on housing needs, Housing 227

the Council’s Housing Strategy and any associated Area Needs Statements will be taken into account.

8.32 Overall the Plan aims to achieve these estimated property requirements in order to meet the needs of the Calder different household types in the district. Policy TP 5 'Housing Mix' therefore requires development proposals to include a mix of house types and sizes having regard to the proportions set out in Table 8.6 'Size and Type of Property Required'. However, the appropriate mix on a particular site will also vary according to the characteristics of the location along with the nature of the development and any other relevant market factors. It may be, for example that a proportion of the smaller accommodation is met by flatted accommodation on town centre and former mill sites. The degree of mix will be expected to increase with site size. Where site briefs and or master plans are prepared these will contain more detailed information in relation to the appropriate housing mix. Development proposals for 30 or more dwellings should be accompanied by a statement illustrating how the proposal will assist in achieving the proportions set out in Table 8.6 'Size and Type of Property Required', taking account of more up-to-date information where available. Where the proportions are not to be met this should be adequately explained.

Policy TP 5

Housing Mix otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan

Over the Plan period the proportions for the types and sizes of housing referenced in Table 8.6 'Size and Type P of Property Required' should be met. In order to achieve this residential developments of 10 or more dwellings should provide for a mix of housing in terms of size, type, tenure and affordability. Development proposals for 30 or more dwellings should be accompanied by a statement illustrating how the proposal will assist in achieving the proportions set out in Table 8.6 'Size and Type of Property Required'.

The housing mix will be informed by the SHMA together with any more recent information including market factors and the nature and location of the development. Master plans, where prepared, will include information on the housing mix required.

The various house types, sizes and need being met should be spread throughout the site.

Housing for Independent Living

8.33 The 2011 Census shows that the number of people over 65 has increased by 8.2% since the last Census in 2001 with particular growth in those aged 65 to 74 and those aged 90 and over. The SHMA highlights the 8 importance of considering the older population in isolation, in order to understand how this group has changed over recent years and how future need pressures can impact on their requirements for new housing. It shows

Calder that, as nationally, the elderly population will continue to grow between 2012 and 2033. Overall the number of older people is projected to increase by around 21,000 or 50%, only varying slightly between the scenarios

dale MBC - A tested in the SHMA, by 2033. The greatest proportional growth is expected in those aged 85 and over. This is projected to lead to approximately 5,000 additional residents within this age group by 2033. Such changes have significant implications not only for the type and size of property but also around the needs of such households in terms of proximity to services and mobility.

utumn 2015 8.34 The NPPF recognises the challenge of an increasing elderly population whose needs will be met from a range of sources including appropriately located market housing through to residential institutions. The Councils’ approach to the challenge of housing the elderly is to support the wish of older people to remain independent for longer within their existing community where possible. Supporting independent living can help to reduce costs to health and social services and providing more options for older people to move can P

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan free up houses that are under occupied. The success of this strategy is evidenced by the increasing void rate in residential care homes (currently 15%) demonstrating that this form of accommodation is becoming less attractive. Within the district there are currently four extra-care schemes providing 160 apartments designed to support someone as their circumstances and health decline. The Council and its partners are currently exploring the options to provide a total of 510 units of extra-care housing by 2030. This approach is detailed in, for example, Joint Wellbeing Strategy 2013/14, Market Position Statement and the Better Care Fund Plan all produced by Calderdale MBC

8.35 The needs of the elderly will therefore be met in a variety of ways ranging from support services and adaptations within older person households to provision of the full range of purpose built accommodation such as flats for independent living, extra care and care home facilities as discussed in the Council's Housing Strategy and Calderdale's Older Person's Strategy. It is through the building of new accommodation where the Local Plan can directly contribute to provision for the elderly both by requiring such accommodation to be taken into account in the overall mix of housing schemes and helping the Council, acting in its enabling role, to bring forward schemes for developments such as sheltered housing or extra care housing, for example. There are clear opportunities for providers who take a flexible and evolving approach to providing housing for the elderly. The mix of housing required under Policy TP 5 'Housing Mix' includes homes that support independent living. Where developers and/or landowners have shown commitment to building housing for independent living these are reflected in the Plan’s land allocations. For schemes to be appropriate they must also comply with other relevant policies set out in the Local Plan. Housing for the elderly should generally be located near to shops and other facilities and services.

8.36 In addition to health issues associated specifically with the needs of the elderly the SHMA also demonstrated that whilst the proportion of residents between 18 and 64 with disabilities will fall slightly over the plan period, as the population is projected to increase this could still result in the absolute number of residents with disabilities.

8.37 The SHMA notes that one means of ensuring a greater proportion of the housing stock meets the needs of both the elderly and other residents with disabilities is through the provision of Lifetime Homes which have adaptability, flexibility and accessibility designed into them. All properties built for social rent are built to the Lifetime Homes Standard whilst the RCUDP sought to increase the number of such homes in the dwelling stock generally. In theory all homes should be built to this standard but the Council recognises that the associated increased costs can influence development viability. However, these costs can be minimised if they are designed out early enough. Therefore given the long term benefits to the district's housing stock the Council will encourage building to Lifetime Homes Standards. The Building Regulations are being revised to incorporate space and accessibility standards. The Council will encourage developers to meet and exceed these minimum standards. The Housing Standards Review (September 2014) states at paragraph 39 that the requirement of Category 2 dwellings are similar to current requirements for the Lifetime Homes Standard. Housing 229

Housing for Independent Living 8 The amount of housing suitable to meet the needs of the elderly will be increased both through the Council's role as enabler and also through the positive consideration of proposals making a contribution to independent living, such as sheltered accommodation and extra care housing, on suitable sites and where this furthers the objective of delivering sustainable, inclusive and mixed communities (including as part of the housing mix required under Policy TP 5 'Housing Mix'). utumn 2015 The Council will encourage proposals to be designed and built to meet accessibility standards set out in the Optional Requirement M4 (2) Category 2 and Category 3 of Part M of the Building Regulations, particularly where the development is targeted at older age groups and those with physical disabilities or other care needs. dale MBC - A Table 8.8 Monitoring: Mix of House Types and Sizes Calder Outcomes More accommodation to enable the elderly to live independently; A greater proportion of Lifetime Homes in the district's housing stock;

People Wishing to Build their Own Homes (Self-Build/Custom Build)

8.38 The Government through the NPPF and its National Housing Strategy(xii) seeks to significantly increase the proportion of new housing delivered by the self-build/custom build sector as opposed to that delivered by the volume house builders. Whilst there are a number of models for delivering self-build they all share the same problem, to a greater of lesser degree, of obtaining land. The difficulty faced by many self-builders is obtaining and paying for land especially when competing with volume housebuilders who have easier access to finance. Given that the Plan looks forward over the next 15 years when this sector is expected to grow nationally it was addressed in the SHMA. This confirmed that the Council does not own much land and

generally disposes at best value. It recommended that the impact of the national agenda to increase the otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan number of self-build homes should be monitored recognising that there is a deficiency of reliable data on the P need for such forms of housing.

8.39 Given the lack of justification for a specific policy covering self-build/custom build no such policy is included in the Plan but interest will continue to be registered by the Council and indeed there may be a formal requirement to do so depending on the outcome of the proposals for “regulations” that are under consultation from the Government on this matter. The Council has noted some interest in self build and is in discussions with a group based in Hebden Bridge. Should there be a significantly greater demand for self-build during the course of the plan period means of addressing this will be considered. These could, for example, include the provision of public sector land (although opportunities for using Council owned land are limited as mentioned above), Local Development Orders, Neighbourhood Plans and the transfer of plots from larger sites owned by volume housebuilders to self-builders. The links between the self-build/custom build sector and affordable housing supply are recognised by the Council.

Affordability

This Section will be re-drafted to incorporate the findings of the latest SHMA and current proposed changes in Government Policy regarding affordable housing.

xii Laying the Foundations: A Housing Strategy for England, HM Government, 2011 230 Housing

Background and definitions

8.40 Affordable housing is defined in the NPPF as social rented, affordable rented and intermediate housing, provided to eligible households whose needs are not met by the market. Eligibility is determined with regard 8 to local incomes and local house prices. Affordable housing should include provisions to remain at an affordable price for future eligible households or for the subsidy to be recycled for alternative housing provision.

Calder The need for affordable housing has been recognised in national planning guidance for some time and measures to achieve this were included in the first (1997) and replacement (2006) UDPs and RSS (2008).

dale MBC - A The fact that the surrounding districts also have a shortage of affordable housing is reflected in the Interim Strategy Statement published by Leeds City Region, April 2011, with RSS Policy H4 Affordable Housing included in its list of thematic policies. Policy H13 of the RCUDP (2006) set out the circumstances in which affordable housing will be required and the mechanisms for achieving this including a SPD providing further technical guidance. Unfortunately this policy was not saved by the Secretary of State for reasons unclear to

utumn 2015 the authority. It is, however, important to continue to endeavour to meet the affordable housing need of the district.

8.41 There is currently a national programme of welfare reform which is anticipated to influence the levels of affordable housing need particularly where households are claiming housing benefit. This could result in P

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan additional pressure in the future on demand for, and supply of smaller affordable dwellings than previously, particularly for smaller 1 or 2 bedroom properties.

Evidence of Need

8.42 The Draft SHMA (October 2015) suggested a need for in the order of 3,500 affordable homes over the plan period. Further details including a yearly break down of need will be included at a later date to incorporate the findings of the latest SHMA.

Means of Providing Affordable Housing

8.43 Affordable housing can be provided by a number of means including through the Affordable Housing Programme (AHP) and direct provision by local authorities. However, this latter approach is unlikely to be pursued in Calderdale due to the transfer of the local authority housing stock to Pennine Housing 2000 (now part of the Together Group) with the authority's role now being one of enabler. However, this approach together with any direct provision of affordable housing by Registered Providers will not be sufficient to meet the need identified through the SHMA. It is therefore important for the Council to continue to seek an element of affordable housing in private housing developments. Where affordable housing is needed the NPPF requires development plans to meet that need on site unless off-site provision or a financial contribution of a broadly equivalent value can be robustly justified. Provision in the vicinity of the site will assist in achieving the objective of balanced and mixed communities.

What will be required in private housing developments - Number of Affordable Housing Units

8.44 The actual details of the affordable housing provision required in private housing developments will be informed by market location, site size threshold and practicality and viability. At the time of drafting the Local Plan market conditions make the delivery of affordable housing challenging in the short term but any improvement in conditions will have a positive impact on delivery. The affordable housing targets in the Local Plan therefore reflect market conditions and will vary over the period of the Plan. The sub-market areas are allocated to one of 4 categories based upon their housing market strength/values and the policy requirements in Policy TP 7 'Affordable Housing' are based upon this spatial analysis.

What will be required in private housing developments - Type, Size and Tenure of Affordable Housing Units

8.45 The SHMA established a need for properties of all sizes in Calderdale. There is a particular requirement for smaller one bedroom properties, with only one in four requiring a property with three bedrooms or more. The role of intermediate housing in helping to meet affordable housing need was also demonstrated in the SHMA. As recommended in the SHMA it is important, therefore, to balance future affordable housing supply with demand for property of different types. The actual mix will need to be considered on any particular proposed development in the context of circumstances at the time of a planning application.

Viability

8.46 In order to ensure that residential developments proceed it is essential that any affordable housing requirement Housing 231

takes into account the overall viability of the development. The viability of delivering affordable housing across the district has therefore been tested through an economic viability assessment model and undertaken as part of the SHMA. Through the model developed for this purpose the Economic Viability Assessment examined a range of variables including site size and location, proportion of affordable housing sought, the tenure mix and introduction of the Code for Sustainable Homes (this was applicable at the time of the analysis). This 8 demonstrated that across Calderdale developers of all new housing developments should contribute towards the provision of affordable housing but the level of provision will be influenced by these factors.

8.47 The results of this analysis revealed that the spatial location within which a site is situated is a key influencing factor on scheme viability within Calderdale and hence on the proportion of affordable housing a site can

provide whilst remaining economically viable. The sub-markets within the district were classified as 'very utumn 2015 hot', 'hot', 'moderate' and 'cold' according to the economic viability of sites within them. Overall the analysis found that the delivery of affordable housing was severely constrained at the time of undertaking the analysis due to the current market conditions. This was considered likely to inhibit the supply of affordable housing developed across the district in the short-term, until market conditions improve. dale MBC - A 8.48 Scenario testing was undertaken to assess the potential to deliver affordable housing in both declining and rising market conditions which demonstrate that this has a significant impact on the viability of sites (see the Calder EVA, Section 6 for outputs from the sensitivity testing). Whilst the market prevailing at the time of the study meant that site viability was constrained across all sub-market locations the position is worsened further within a 'declining' market context. Conversely with an improvement to 'rising' market conditions site viability is dramatically improved across the district. Sites in the 'very hot' and 'hot' and to a lesser extent 'moderate' sub-markets require only a limited (+5%) improvement in conditions to increase viability. However, sites located in 'cold' market locations required a proportionately greater improvement in market conditions to achieve a significant level of viability.

8.49 Market conditions are clearly a primary influence on the capability of sites to provide affordable housing. The study concluded that under 'rising' market conditions it would be appropriate to apply a sliding scale of affordable housing targets across the district, with higher affordable housing targets within the 'very hot' and 'hot' market locations than in the 'moderate' and 'cold' locations.

8.50 The study also found that the affordable housing delivery of economically viable sites was affected by the application of a site size threshold. This is particularly relevant in a district like Calderdale where a very high proportion of sites are small. Some 80% of SHLAA sites are only capable of delivering fewer than the 15 unit threshold contained in the former PPS3 Housing and therefore applying any such threshold would result in a substantial proportion of the most economically viable smaller sites being excluded from triggering an otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan

affordable housing requirement. P

8.51 The study found that by reducing site size thresholds to 5 units in 'very hot' and 'hot' market locations affordable housing delivery could be maximised through capitalising on the most economically viable smaller sites in the district. This was found to be applicable across all property market conditions ('current', 'rising' and 'declining').

8.52 The study recommended that during periods of market decline smaller sites in 'very hot' and 'hot' market locations could therefore assist in delivering affordable housing. In 'moderate' and 'cold' market locations a threshold of 15 units should remain.

8.53 A further factor influencing the delivery of affordable housing was the tenure split between social rented and intermediate housing with an increase in the proportion of intermediate units resulting in an increase in site viability. As it is difficult to deliver high numbers of social rented units on all but the most viable sites the study recommended that policy should remain flexible to alter the tenure split on a site-specific basis and/or under exceptional circumstances being a useful tool to 'tip the balance' of viability on marginally unviable sites.

8.54 The study recommended that the Local Plan should require developers of all new housing developments to contribute towards the provision of affordable housing in line with a clear policy that is informed by market location, site size threshold, practicality and financial viability (i.e. economic impact of housing market conditions). In accordance with the recommendations of the study these target contributions form a starting point for negotiation of affordable housing on qualifying new housing developments. Delivery of the targets will, however, be dependent on the economic viability of a scheme on an individual site-specific basis. Negotiation in relation to proposals will require those proposing the development (developers/agents/landowners) to undertake an open-book financial appraisal approach to demonstrate 232 Housing

that the maximum reasonable and viable contribution to affordable housing is being provided.

8.55 During the life of the Local Plan the relative health of the housing market and the implications for each of the sub-markets will be monitored. The EVA model toolkit has been provided to the Council and includes technical 8 advice and instruction on how to effectively monitor and update the study including the recommended sources of data to be utilised to ensure consistency of approach. It also enables specific proposals to be tested for

Calder viability at any point during the Plan period and taking account of the economic viability of a scheme on an individual site specific basis. dale MBC - A 8.56 The Economic Viability Assessment which accompanied the 2011 SHMA provided the basis for the viability assessment of affordable housing in the "Calderdale Local Plan and CIL Viability Assessment" (December 2013) undertaken by GVA. This later document therefore makes more limited reference to affordable housing but does recognise that whilst there are areas where it would be difficult to meet the policy requirements for

utumn 2015 affordable housing, the policy is flexible allowing a reduction in affordable housing contributions subject to local viability considerations.

Approach to assessing planning applications P

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan 8.57 The former SPD on 'The Provision of Affordable Housing in New Housing Developments' provided technical guidance for applicants when submitting planning applications and following adoption of the Local Plan the Council will consider preparing another such document to amplify the technical aspects of Policy TP 7 'Affordable Housing' and to assist with the submission of planning applications. Imbalances between demand/need and supply will be addressed when determining planning applications based on up-to-date detailed need assessments for each of the sub market areas/Local Plan sub areas by the Council's Housing Service. Prospective applicants should have regard to these annual statements of Housing Need.

Rural affordable housing

8.58 National planning policy has for some time enabled planning authorities to have policies which support the release of small sites for affordable housing which development plans would not otherwise allocate for housing within or adjoining villages, and on which housing would not normally be permitted. The NPPF maintains this approach. This advice was aimed particularly at the more rural parts of the country and is not generally applicable in metropolitan districts such as Calderdale where many smaller settlements lie within the Green Belt and are close to the main urban areas. For this reason no such policy was included in either the first or second UDPs.

8.59 The SHMA does not specifically cover the need for affordable housing in rural areas although it does demonstrate a need for affordable housing in the rural sub-areas of the district. Where this cannot be met in larger settlements, including through the variable site size thresholds in Policy TP 7 'Affordable Housing', there may be a justification for providing additional opportunities for affordable housing in the more rural parts of the district. The Council's Housing Service believes that an exceptions policy is justified. Such a policy by definition can only cover the rural parts of the district with the exclusion of larger more urban settlements within which or through their planned expansion opportunities exist to provide affordable housing. Similarly settlements located close to the urban areas and/or on good public transport routes are not sufficiently 'remote' to justify being included within the policy. In assessing remoteness topography as well as distance from the urban areas has been taken into consideration. The sustainability of additional housing in small settlements will also be a consideration given that such settlements are often not well served by public transport.

8.60 Therefore an ‘exceptions’ element directed at the parished western half of the district is included in Policy TP 7 'Affordable Housing'. Settlement boundaries will be shown on the Proposals Map. Any proposals for affordable housing on 'exception sites' will need to satisfy the criteria in Policy TP 7 'Affordable Housing' including demonstrating the need for the affordable housing and the provision of arrangements to ensure it remains as affordable housing in perpetuity and is not subsequently sold as market housing, in order to retain the benefits of the affordable housing for future occupiers. Housing 233

Policy TP 7

Affordable Housing 8 Developers of all new housing developments will be required to make the maximum viable contribution to the provision of affordable housing in order to assist in meeting the affordable housing needs of the district. The amount of affordable housing required will be influenced by a number of factors including market location, site size threshold, practicality and financial viability and the specific needs of an area as set out in the Council’s Housing Needs Statements. Indicative levels of provision having regard to market conditions at the time of adopting this Core Strategy are shown in Table xx (To be added once SHMA finalised) and these, including utumn 2015 subsequent updates to the Table, will form a starting point for negotiation but actual viability will be assessed at the time planning applications are submitted. Where proposals do not meet the requirements of Table xx, including subsequent updates, proposing parties (developers/agents/landowners) will be required to undertake an open-book financial appraisal to demonstrate that the maximum reasonable and viable contribution to affordable housing is being provided. dale MBC - A

The affordable housing will be provided on-site unless the Council agree that special circumstances justify a Calder contribution in lieu.

Planning applications which include proposals for affordable housing must ensure that there are secure and practical arrangements to retain the benefits of affordability for initial and subsequent owners and occupiers such as the involvement of a registered provider and where appropriate by the use of conditions or planning obligations.

In the western part of the district as defined by that part of the district which is parished permission will be granted exceptionally for affordable housing on ‘exception sites’ where policies to protect the countryside would normally preclude planning permission being granted provided that:

1. there is a proven local need for affordable housing in the particular settlement; 2. residential development would reflect the principles of sustainable development including the objective of maintaining or enhancing the vitality of the particular rural community; 3. there are secure arrangements in place to ensure that the affordable housing units remain affordable in perpetuity; 4. the site is within or immediately adjacent to a settlement listed in Table xx; and5. the site is either within

Houses in Multiple Occupation.

8.61 Houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) are houses that are not occupied by a single household and include dwellings occupied by two or more people living separately, bedsits, lodgings and hostels. They meet specific local housing needs, such as those of students, single people on low incomes or people who move frequently and require temporary accommodation.

8.62 The intensification of use associated with HMOs often has implications for the area in which the building is located and the potential for harm increased with recent changes to permitted development rights. An office building falling within Class B1(a) Under the Town and Country Planning Use Classes Order 1987 (as amended) does not need planning permission to change to residential use (Class C3) whilst a dwelling (Class C3) does not require planning permission to change to a small (3-6 residents) HMO (Class C4). The cumulative effect of these changes is to provide the potential for office buildings to be subdivided into several flats with each in turn converted to a small HMO for 3-6 residents. The Council recognises that over the Plan period the Government may make further changes to planning legislation.

8.63 In September 2014, the Council responded to concerns around the interest in HMOs in an area to the north of Prescott Street on the southern edge of Halifax Town Centre, with particular concerns that a reputable and high quality commercial area which makes an important contribution to the economic wellbeing of Calderdale could be undermined and diluted through the creation of poor quality residential accommodation. Housing 235

8.64 HMOs have a role to play in meeting the District’s future housing requirements but this has to be balanced against the fact that they can also create social and environmental problems for local communities. Therefore where other objectives of the Local Plan have the potential to be undermined by a proliferation of HMOs in a specific area, and based on the evidence at the time, consideration will be given to creating further Article 4 Directions to remove permitted development rights in such areas. 8

8.65 All proposals for HMOs will be considered by the Council having regard to the economic, social and environmental implications of such developments. Where proposals are located, as they often are, in residential areas the need to protect the character of these areas, including retaining the supply of family housing will be important. Any increase in anti-social behaviour, noise and nuisance is likely to undermine an area’s

suitability for family housing. A predominance of HMOs is also likely to result in a re-structuring of commercial utumn 2015 and recreational facilities in line with the lifestyle of the predominant population, helping to further reduce the attractiveness of an area for families resulting in further loss of family housing. Without this mix in the size and type of housing it is more difficult for areas to support mixed communities.

8.66 HMOs can also have a negative effect on the physical environment and streetscape. External alterations to dale MBC - A buildings such as the addition of fire escapes can affect the appearance of the building. This is of particular importance in sensitive areas such as conservation areas or where listed buildings are concerned. Neglect Calder of gardens following conversion will affect the character of the locality as will increases in the number of cars, both in terms of car parking and increased traffic on the local highway network.

8.67 The above requirements are reflected in Policy TP 8 'Houses in Multiple Occupation':

Policy TP 8

Houses in Multiple Occupation

Planning permission will be granted for the use of a building as a house in multiple occupation where:-

i) there would be no harm to:-

(a) the appearance, character or primary function of the locality; (b) the appearance or character of the building; (c) the amenity of the occupiers of neighbouring buildings or the intended occupiers of the building;

ii) the proposal is well served by public transport; otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan P

iii) there is adequate car parking provision on site; or

iv) on-street parking would not impair the free flow of traffic or highway safety; and

v) the proposal would not result in a disproportionate concentration of HMOs in an area.

Where the impact of Houses in Multiple Occupation would undermine a locality’s main character and function the Council will consider the creation of Article 4 Directions to protect such areas.

Gypsies and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople

This Section will be reviewed following publication of the final Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation 8 Assessment with sites included following determination of the land allocations. Calder 8.68 The NPPF and accompanying Planning Policy for Traveller Sites(xiii) encourages local planning authorities

dale MBC - A to make their own assessment of need for the purposes of planning and plan for sites over a reasonable timescale. A Joint Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling Showperson Accommodation Assessment July 2015 covering both Calderdale and Kirklees local authority areas was undertaken by Arc4.This study found that there are currently no Gypsy and Traveller pitches in Calderdale, nor are there any known temporary or unauthorised sites. It also noted the presence of one Showpersons’ yard which contains 12 plots. utumn 2015 8.69 Overall the study found a slight shortfall of provision of both pitches and plots. For Gypsies and Travellers for the five year period 2014/15 to 2018/19 the study identified a shortfall of 7 pitches if assumptions regarding households wanting to move from bricks and mortar accommodation onto a pitch are included or zero pitches if assumptions regarding bricks and mortar households are not included. Analysis of future requirements for P

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan the 15 year period (2019/20) to 20133/34) suggests that there will not be any requirement for pitches from new households. For Travelling Showpeople the study identified a need over the next 5 years (2014/15 to 2018/19) for two additional plots and for a further plot during the period 2019/20 to 2033/34.

8.70 The Study also examined the need for transit accommodation based on data relating to unauthorised encampments. Analysis of this data indicates that new transit provision of six transit pitches be made with particular consideration to the Brighouse, Elland and Halifax areas since it is these areas that have experienced the highest levels of unauthorised encampment activity. The study did not consider that the current level of activity will alter significantly over future years beyond 2018/19. Whilst the assumption is that each transit pitch would accommodate one caravan established practice within the Travelling community means that pitches could accommodate up to two vans if the pitch is being occupied by the same household or member of a family group. However, the need for transit pitches is not well supported by survey findings that show that three quarters of respondents felt that there was not a need for new transit pitches across the study area. The Study also recommended consideration be given as to whether the most appropriate type of provision would be a conventional formal transit site or a form of authorised ‘stopover’ or negotiated stopping provision.

8.71 As stated in 'Planning Policy for Traveller Sites' traveller sites in the Green Belt represent inappropriate development and Green Belt boundaries should be altered only in exceptional circumstances. If a limited alteration is to be made to a Green Belt boundary to meet a specified need for a traveller site it should be specifically allocated in the development plan as a traveller site only. Other sensitive locations must also be protected as should local amenity and the environment generally. Sites also need to be located sustainably and therefore within a reasonable distance of local services and facilities such as shops, hospitals, and schools (so that children can attend school on a regular basis). Sites should have access from a properly surfaced road and a reasonable level of service provision including electricity and drinking water supplies, sewage disposal and refuse collection. The impacts on local infrastructure and services should be assessed in order to avoid placing undue pressure on local infrastructure and services. Sites should not be located in areas at high risk of flooding, including functional floodplains or where noise and air quality would be detrimental to the health and well-being of travellers locating on a particular site. Provision also needs to be made to enable some travellers to live and work from the same location thereby reflecting traditional lifestyles and contributing to sustainability by omitting many travel to work journeys.

8.72 All of these requirements were taken into consideration in determining the land allocations to meet the identified needs of Gypsies and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople presented in Policy TP 9 'Meeting the Need of Gypsies and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople'. These criteria will also be followed in both allocating any further sites for Gypsies and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople and in considering planning applications for such developments.

9.1 For green infrastructure and the natural environment the Local Plan is focused upon preserving and enhancing green assets across the whole of the district. The Local Plan provides a positive policy framework to ensure that an improved, accessible and healthy environment is available for the benefit of present and future communities which also protects and improves important biodiversity sites. 9 9.2 Green infrastructure and the Natural Environment comprise many individual components, ranging from open

Calder space and protected natural sites, through to waterways, agricultural land and the biodiversity of these areas. Green Infrastructure Planning represents the coming together of the various individual components described

dale MBC - A above and provides for more informed decision-making and a more 'joined-up' way of thinking in relation to spatial planning.

9.3 The planning system has a vital role to play in the protection, delivery and enhancement of the GI network through effective spatial planning. It will provide guidance on the most effective and efficient areas for the

utumn 2015 new parts of the network that are needed to provide for new populations and to make good any existing deficiencies. Public and private sector investment will be crucial to help address current and future needs for GI provision; however, it is equally important that new developments make commensurate contributions towards new and improved local infrastructure where that development will add to infrastructure needs and requirements locally. P otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan 9.4 In view of the important ecosystem services that many aspects of Calderdale's environment and countryside provide, successful management of this multi-functional resource can assist environmental functions such as biodiversity, climate change adaptation and flood mitigation. It can also provide quality of life benefits for the local community to include recreation, sustainable transport, wellbeing and sustainable quality of place. Addressing green infrastructure provision and the management of our natural environment are therefore essential elements in the preparation of Calderdale's Local Plan.

Policy TP 10

Define a hierarchy of green infrastructure

The Council will define a hierarchy of green infrastructure in order that under-utilised assets can be identified and better use encouraged, primarily to:

Provide an accurate and accessible green infrastructure evidence/data base; Provide a hierarchy for green infrastructure and a context for development; Identify specific priority measures to address deficiencies in green infrastructure provision in the district; Establish a baseline of green space and green infrastructure provision from which change can be measured; Identify under-utilised assets and encourage better use; Extend access and formal/informal sport/recreational opportunities to meet current and future demands; Help focus green infrastructure improvements on specific areas with the greatest needs and opportunities; Consider the release of sites that do not contribute to meeting needs and have no special value for wildlife, heritage or other environmental considerations subject to raising the quality of other sites in the area. Evidence demonstrating that the site is surplus to present and future need and is of low environmental quality will be required; and Commit to long-term monitoring and project evaluation.

The Council should identify the functional role of green infrastructure, primarily to:

Better manage woodland to include increasing native and appropriate tree cover in the district in order to help adapt to the impacts of climate change and to provide flood mitigation; Better manage moorland peat and upland soils in order to help adapt to the impacts of climate change and to provide flood mitigation; Better manage priority habitats such as canals, rivers, streams, unimproved grasslands and ancient hedgerows;

Better manage priority species such as the UK twite, water voles, water shrews and a variety of bats; otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan P Ensure that no planning permissions are granted contrary to sustained objection from the Environment Agency, Sport England and Natural England; Identify cross-border issues and encourage co-operative working with neighbouring authorities; Promote sustainable drainage systems through green infrastructure which should be secured by planning conditions or obligations; Provide and protect flood storage areas; Protect and maintain green infrastructure if it makes a positive contribution to meeting local needs; and Promote the use of green infrastructure to make cycling and walking more attractive.

Through the Council's own initiative and through the development process, the green infrastructure network will be protected, conserved, enhanced and valued. The network will be of high quality, will be multi-functional and will meet a wide range of social, environmental and economic needs.

Securing green infrastructure provision

The Council will put mechanisms in place to secure green infrastructure provision in the district. To achieve this, the primary focus will be on:

Improving and enhancing existing green infrastructure assets, and/or looking to expand existing, or creating new, green infrastructure assets; Encouraging the protection, enhancement and creation of green infrastructure through the Development Management System; Increasing the level of company participation in business in the environment; Encouraging partnership delivery of green infrastructure in the district; and Making good deficiencies in quantity and quality of green infrastructure by a range of means, but including developer contributions.

New development must be served by green infrastructure to meet the needs of the district's residents in a manner which will contribute to the creation of a high quality environment and provide access to high quality open space for leisure and recreational purposes. Development proposals should ensure that:

The GI function of the land is retained and where possible improved; The opportunity is taken to extend and increase GI by linking green spaces, filling in gaps in GI provision, and/or increasing priority habitats and species.

Policy TP 13

A joined up green infrastructure network

The Council will ensure that the green infrastructure network is joined up. Existing spaces should be interlinked allowing biodiversity and humans safe access to, and transit between, a range of valued spaces. To achieve this, decisions upon development proposals shall have particular regard to:

Seeking to connect biodiversity habitats; Maintaining critical biodiversity assets and providing long term security for these as identified in the Calderdale Biodiversity Action Plan; Protecting and extending access and informal and formal recreational opportunities to meet current and

future demands; otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan Connecting urban and rural communities where possible; and P Promoting the use of green infrastructure to make cycling and walking more attractive.

The concept of the Wildlife Corridor will be continued by the Council in assisting the integration of otherwise isolated areas of wildlife interest. Development will not be permitted in a Wildlife Corridor if it would damage the physical continuity of the Corridor; or impair the functioning of the Corridor by preventing movement of species; or harm the nature conservation value of the Corridor.

Calder

Natural Environment dale MBC - A

9.5 The natural environment encompasses many elements of Green infrastructure that include biodiversity, geodiversity and landscape character. They are mutually dependent and should therefore be considered together. The natural environment is a valuable asset for Calderdale because it underpins and supports all

utumn 2015 human activity, and in this sense is of immeasurable total value. Ecosystem goods and services provided by the natural environment include the filtration, purification and detoxification of air, water and soils; nutrient cycling, nitrogen fixation, carbon sequestration and soil formation; climate regulation, mitigation of storms and floods, erosion control, regulation of rainfall and water supply; habitat provision; and production of biomass providing raw materials and food. Calderdale's natural environment also has an important aesthetic, P

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan recreational, cultural and spiritual role as well as aiding education and research.

9.6 Calderdale possesses a landscape of great beauty, which is enjoyed by local people and visitors. The area also supports a rich variety of wildlife and associated habitats and forms an important part of the Southern Pennines. The whole variety of living things, including the habitats that support them, is known as biodiversity. Geodiversity is the variety of rocks and landforms together with the processes that form them. Protecting the natural resources of biodiversity and geological features not only involves protecting sites and species, but also enhancing the status of the whole resource through active management. The Local Plan will help ensure that areas/sites with international, national and local designations will not be adversely affected by new development.

Policy TP 14

Natural Environment

The Council will seek to achieve better management of Calderdale’s natural environment by expecting developments to:

a) Conserve and enhance the biodiversity and geological features of the District by protecting and improving habitats, species, sites of ecological value and sites of geological value; maximising biodiversity and geodiversity opportunities in and around new developments; and conserving and enhancing the form, local character and distinctiveness of the District's river corridors as natural floodplains and important strategic wildlife corridors;

b) Take appropriate steps to maintain the favourable conservation status of populations of protected species; c) Protect, restore and enhance other features of natural environmental importance, in line with local environmental priorities; d) Design-in wildlife, maximise multi-functionality in line with TP30 and TP31 and provide appropriate management, ensuring development follows the mitigation hierarchy and achieves net gains in biodiversity; e) Contribute towards the targets set out for priority habitats and species and the environmental priorities of any future Local Nature Partnership and biodiversity offsetting scheme, as appropriate; f) Deliver enhancement and compensation, commensurate with their scale, which contributes towards the achievement of a coherent and resilient ecological network; g) Protect and enhance the distinctive landscape character of Calderdale; and h) Adopt good environmental site practices as appropriate, including in the form of a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) where appropriate.

Development which may harm the Natural Environment will not be permitted unless effective mitigation and/or compensatory measures can be ensured. Green Infrastructure and Natural Environment 243

9.7 Open space, sport and recreation facilities form an essential part of Calderdale's environment and play an important role in maintaining the health and wellbeing of its residents. They contribute towards quality of life by improving the quality of the environment and enabling exercise and other pastimes to take place, and they can play a key role in sustainable development. Open spaces often come under pressure for development and this pressure is set to increase in the future. There are limited opportunities to increase the amount of open space, particularly in urban areas, and therefore it is imperative that existing open space is preserved otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan

and that it is protected from loss and inappropriate development that would harm its character, appearance P or function.

9.8 There will be exceptional occasions when it will be appropriate to release open space for development. Uses appropriate to the particular open space area which would bring community benefits may be acceptable such as outdoor sports facilities, interpretation centres, toilets, refreshment facilities, woodlands, allotments, cemeteries, and horticulture. The onus will be upon prospective developers to demonstrate that there would be no adverse effect in terms of the various functions that the open space fulfils. 244 Green Infrastructure and Natural Environment

National and Local Standards

9.9 National and local standards for accessible greenspace enable assessment of resource against need which makes it possible to establish if a sufficient resource exists. Such standards have been used for some time with current examples including the Accessible Natural Greenspace Standard (ANGSt) developed by Natural England and the Woodland Access Standard developed by the Woodland Trust.

9.10 ANGSt recommends:-

No person should live more than 300m from their nearest area of natural greenspace of at least 2ha in size; At least one accessible 20ha site within 2km of home; One accessible 100ha site within 5km of home; One accessible 500ha site within 10km of home; and Provision of at least 1ha of Local Nature Reserve per 1,000 people.

9.11 The Woodland Trust's Woodland Standard aspires:

That no person should live more than 500m from at least one area of accessible woodland of no less than 2ha in size; and That there should also be at least one area of accessible woodland of no less than 20ha within 4km (8km round trip) of people's homes. Green Infrastructure and Natural Environment 245

9.12 Locally, the Calderdale Open Space, Sport and Recreation Study: Open Space Assessment Report (2006) sets the following greenspace standard which has been carried forward in the 2015 update:

All settlement areas should have a natural/semi-natural greenspace with a score of 60% or higher on qualitative assessment within 400m of a site (0.04ha - 1ha) and 600m of a site (1.00ha - 3.00ha) and 9 1200m of a site greater than 3ha.

9.13 Where possible, all new development should seek to achieve these standards. In taking forward proposals that involve the provision of natural greenspace and/or any treeplanting in the near vicinity of the South Pennine Moors Special Protection Area, Calderdale Council (and other bodies as appropriate), will need to

liaise with Natural England, to ensure its protection from habitat change or the adverse impact of predator utumn 2015 species. dale MBC - A Calder otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan P 246 Environmental Protection

10.1 Environmental protection is a wide-ranging topic covering issues of global and local significance. Environmental issues feature higher than ever on the public agenda and expectations of a cleaner, greener environment and a better quality of life are increasing. The need to mitigate the effects we are having on local and global environments is an essential element in achieving sustainable growth. 10 10.2 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) recognises the importance of environmental protection

Calder and at the heart of the NPPF is a presumption in favour of sustainable development, which should be seen as a golden thread running through both plan-making and decision taking. dale MBC - A 10.3 This section compliments the sustainable development objectives in section 5 and section 7 of the Local Plan, by:-

Ensuring new development does not significantly add to pollution levels; and

utumn 2015 Reducing current pollution levels where possible.

Pollution Control

10.4 Pollution causes adverse health risks and damages amenity and the environment. It can also prejudice P

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan neighbouring land use, resulting in long term contamination and hinder urban regeneration. Control of pollution is complex, involving several agencies, council powers and national regulation. The duty for pollution control rests with the Council's Environmental Health Service, with the Environment Agency providing a regulatory and advisory role in the system. The NPPF, whilst encouraging positive planning to support local development, also seeks to protect the environment and community from pollution from new developments.

10.5 Development has the potential to harm the environment via pollutants to the air, soil or water courses. Such pollution can take many forms to include air pollution, noise pollution, light pollution and river and water pollution. The Local Planning Authority (LPA) will need to consider the impacts of potentially polluting development on amenity and surrounding uses. This will compliment the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2012 that operate outside of the planning process.

10.6 Air quality problems in the district are mainly attributable to transport and addressing these issues is recognised to be complementary to the aim of achieving a reduction in transport emissions. The impact of transport is a cross boundary issue and Calderdale Council is working with the four other West Yorkshire Local Authorities to develop a West Yorkshire Low Emission Strategy which will provide consistent air quality and development management policy across West Yorkshire.

10.7 Calderdale has a rich industrial heritage which has provided the foundations for its economic development. The legacy of past manufacturing, engineering and industrial processes has resulted in the potential for residual contamination of sites across the district. Contaminated land can have an impact on water quality and this is considered in more detail in the Flooding and Water Environment section of this document.

Policy TP 16

Pollution Control

The Council will seek to reduce the amount of development that is likely to cause pollution or be exposed to pollution. When determining planning applications, consideration will be given to the following issues:

The likelihood of noise, smell, vibration or other emissions that have an unacceptable affect on the amenity of the local area. The potential impact on the environmental quality and quantity of ground water sources and water bodies. Whether there is a quantifiable risk that human health may be affected by the proposal. The potential for pollution (including noise, light, water and air pollution) to affect sites of biological and geological importance. The potential for unacceptable light pollution onto other property or land. The potential impact on designated AQMAs.

An appropriate impact assessment should be submitted with the planning application and should detail any mitigation measures needed to make the development acceptable. Environmental Protection 247

Background

11.1 Carbon emissions are a key factor leading to global climate change with a number of Government targets introduced to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The Climate Change Act 2008 introduced a statutory target 11 of reducing carbon dioxide emissions to at least 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. At a local level the Calderdale Climate Change Action Plan aims for a 40% reduction in carbon emissions by 2020 from a 2005 baseline

Calder and an 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2080. One of the methods of addressing Climate Change, as outlined in this Local Plan's Section on Climate Change, is by increasing the contribution the generation of

dale MBC - A energy from renewable and low carbon sources makes to reducing carbon emissions.

11.2 The NPPF recognises the role of planning in supporting the delivery of renewable and low carbon energy and associated infrastructure. To facilitate this local planning authorities should have a positive strategy to promote energy from renewable and low carbon sources. This includes maximising renewable and low

utumn 2015 carbon energy development whilst ensuring any adverse effects are addressed. The RCUDP contains a number of criteria based policies relating to the consideration of proposals for renewable energy developments and these are carried forward and updated to reflect technological changes and other more recent evidence. The policy requirement for developments to make provision for a proportion of their energy needs to be met by on-site renewable energy sources is no longer appropriate as this has now been superseded by changes P

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan to the Building Regulations.

11.3 The majority of developments contributing to the generation of renewable and low carbon energy in Calderdale have largely been associated with wind power in the form of either individual wind turbines or wind farms of varying sizes across the district. Ovenden Moor is the largest operational wind farm in Calderdale generating 9.2 MW electricity and is to be replaced by a smaller number of larger turbines generating 22.5 MW electricity. A windfarm is under development on Todmorden Moor (5 turbines) whilst planning permission has been granted for a windfarm at Crook Hill (5 turbines within Calderdale district and 7 within Rochdale district). There has also been some take up of solar power with more limited interest in other technologies such as hydro power and energy from waste.

11.4 Two studies examining the potential for renewable energy, one by AECOM for Yorkshire and the Humber Region(xiv) and one by Maslen Environmental on behalf of several South Pennine Local Authorities(xv) exploring the potential for renewable and low carbon energy in the South Pennines, concluded that by far the most significant potential for renewable electricity is commercial scale wind along with small scale wind energy. The studies also recognised the potential for solar electricity generation particularly as the technology improves in the future. Regarding heat generation ground source heating was recognised to have potential as was solar energy with biomass and hydro power having more limited potential.

11.5 The main renewable and low carbon energy technologies are:

Wind Turbines Solar photovoltaics Solar Water Heating Hydropower Heat pumps Biomass Combined heat and Power Plants District heat networks Landfill gas Energy from Waste Anaerobic digestion

Strategy for Renewable and Low Carbon Energy

11.6 The objective of the Local Plan is to maximise the amount of energy generated from renewable and low carbon sources. This is to be achieved through the positive consideration of proposals for renewable and low carbon energy infrastructure where there are no unacceptable environmental effects. The Local Plan therefore includes a series of criteria based policies to assist with the consideration of planning applications. These are intended to maximise renewable and low carbon energy development whilst ensuring that adverse

xiv Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Capacity in Yorkshire and Humber, Aecom, 2011 xv Renewable and Low carbon Energy Study, Maslen,2010 Renewable and Low Carbon Energy 249

impacts are addressed satisfactorily, including cumulative landscape and visual impacts.

11.7 Initiatives such as the implementation of the Council’s Energy Future Strategy(xvi) will also assist in maximising energy from renewable and low carbon sources. This strategy includes large scale renewable energy infrastructure compatible with the local landscape producing local energy and contributing to the 11 decarbonisation of the national grid in its vision to produce a resilient low carbon economy. It also supports community led initiatives for renewable and low carbon energy and drew on the evidence provided by the AECOM and Maslen Studies. Neighbourhood plans will also have a role in delivering these initiatives.

11.8 The Local Plan does not identify specific locations for renewable energy developments. In the case of wind

energy, opportunities in the South Pennines have largely been exploited as demonstrated in a study jointly utumn 2015 commissioned by a number of South Pennine Authorities to address the cumulative effects of wind turbines in the area and undertaken by Julie Martin Associates(xvii). This study identified where the landscape may be capable of accommodating further wind energy development and will inform the consideration of further proposals. Active solar technology (photovoltaic and solar water heating) on or related to a particular building

is often permitted development. It is not sufficiently clear at present where there may be viable opportunities dale MBC - A for other technologies but over the Plan period these technologies will develop further with the potential to affect their siting. The contribution from microgeneration is generally more building specific and will largely Calder be implemented through the building regulations.

11.9 Through its site allocation strategy for various forms of development the Local Plan provides opportunities both in terms of scale of development and co-location for the use of combined heat and power plants and/or district heat networks.

Policy TP 18

Renewable and Low Carbon Energy

The contribution from renewable and low carbon energy generation will be increased over the period of the Local Plan through:

Positive consideration of proposals for renewable and low carbon developments, including proposals for community led and microgeneration schemes, subject to there being no unacceptable adverse environmental effects; Maximising opportunities for and resulting from the co-location of energy producers with energy users; otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan

and P The implementation of the Council’s Energy Futures Strategy and its Carbon Action management Plan where this relates to buildings.

Consideration of proposals

11.10 Notwithstanding the significance the Council attaches to the role of renewable and low carbon energy in addressing the issue of climate change any environmental and landscape (including cumulative) implications must be evaluated. Since all proposals for renewable and low carbon energy have the potential for some environmental impact Policy TP 19 'Renewable and Low Carbon Energy Developments' is a generic policy applicable to all developments. Additional considerations apply to specific technologies as set out in Policy TP 20 'Wind Energy Developments' to Policy TP 23 'Combined Heat and Power Generation'. These cover wind and solar technologies since they have been the main technologies taken up to date and are likely to remain so over the Plan period. In order to provide more detailed technical guidance on all technologies, particularly given technological advances during the Plan period, the Council will give consideration to the preparation of a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on renewable and low carbon energy.

11.11 Renewable and low carbon energy, particularly at the small scale, is often generated close to the point of use feeding directly into a local user or the local distribution network and is a more efficient means of delivery than via the national grid. Larger renewable and low carbon developments need to feed into the electricity network if they are to serve a wider area including supplying the national grid. However, this can be challenging since the capacity of the local electricity network cannot always accommodate new generation whilst in xvi Calderdale Energy Future Strategy, Calderdale MBC, 2011 xvii South Pennines Wind Energy Landscape Study, Julie Martin Associates, 2014 250 Renewable and Low Carbon Energy

remote areas, where the best wind resources often exist, there may be no existing electricity distribution infrastructure at all and no houses or businesses to serve directly. Where distribution infrastructure such as power lines is required the effects on the environment and amenity will form part of the consideration of developments for renewable and low carbon generation. 11

P adversely affect neighbouring uses including the amenity of local residents; and otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan adversely affect aviation navigation and radar systems (based on the most recent evidence).

Wind Energy Proposals

11.12 A study by Julie Martin Associates (2014)(xviii) examined the effects on the landscape of the increasing number of wind turbines in the South Pennines and provided guidance in relation to turbines in the different landscape character types. The study provides information at a strategic level on the relative levels of landscape sensitivity to wind turbine development across the study area. These key strategic priorities in relation to Calderdale are:

Prevent any significant harm to the landscapes of the South Pennines Heritage area which is highly valued at a regional level for its many special landscape qualities, including wildness and tranquillity, and its important recreational role; Conserve significant areas of open, less modified moorland and moorland fringe landscape, especially in the parts of the South Pennine Moors that lie north and south of the scenic Calder Valley and are presently untouched by wind energy development; In the medium to longer term reinstate open moorland skylines on the Crook Hill to Heald Moor ridge line which is important for the continuity of the Pennine backbone and also fulfils a strategic visual role at the head of the Calder Valley; Limit any further visual intrusion by large scale wind energy developments on adjacent settled valley landscapes especially those of the upper Calder valley whose settings are already significantly affected by ‘large’ turbines; Promote clear patterns of turbines of different heights in the landscape; Avoid the close juxtaposition in the landscape or turbines of different heights and designs.

11.13 A further study by Julie Martin Associates (2013) examined the impacts of turbines up to 60m in height and provided guidance for their consideration. Both studies by Julie Martin Associates provide detailed guidance on the siting, layout and design of wind energy developments including guidance on assessing the landscape, visual and cumulative impacts of wind energy developments. These should be referred to both by those submitting proposals for wind energy developments and decision makers. Whilst the Studies provide greater detail regarding the assessment of wind energy proposals the essential criteria which must be met are set out in Policy xx. References to guidance in the policy are to the Julie Martin Studies and any subsequent updates that may be undertaken during the Plan period. The current situation regarding the number and location of turbines 18m or greater in height can be found on the map and database prepared as part of the 2014 Julie Martin Study .

11.14 On 18th June 2015 the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government published an update to the approach to be taken to wind energy developments and subsequently amended the PPG. This essentially states that local planning authorities should only grant planning permission for wind energy developments if:

xviii South Pennines Wind Energy Landscape Study, Julie Martin Associates, 2014 Renewable and Low Carbon Energy 251

the development site is in an area identified as suitable for wind energy development in a Local or Neighbourhood Plan; and following consultation, it can be demonstrated that the planning impacts identified by affected local communities have been fully addressed and therefore the proposal has their backing. 11 11.15 Whilst no specific allocations for wind energy development are included on the Local Plan Proposals Map suitable areas for wind energy development can be identified through proper application of the Julie Martin Study. Given that the Study is the primary evidence base for determining suitable areas for wind energy (and consequently any allocations should be based on this evidence) the conclusions will be the same whether seeking areas to allocate or considering planning applications. Any objectively assessed proposals found

not to cause harm could be permitted notwithstanding the PPG reference to Local Plans, should sufficient utumn 2015 weight exist to support this approach. Additionally, interest currently exists in progressing several Neighbourhood Plans across the district and these have the potential to allocate areas for wind energy development. Therefore the following policy is included to assist in assessing wind energy proposals. dale MBC - A Policy TP 20 Calder Wind Energy Developments

Proposals for the development or re-powering of wind farms or individual wind turbines will be permitted provided that:

the proposed development responds to landscape character as set out in the landscape character descriptions for the relevant Landscape Character Types and Landscape Character Areas (Julie Martin Study); the proposed development would not harm the ‘key’ environmental features, which closely reflect its most special, valued landscape qualities and it respects the landscape constraints to wind energy development identified in the sensitivity assessments (Julie Martin Study);• the proposed development is in line with the sensitivity assessment and guidance and has been sensitively sited (Julie Martin Study); the proposed scheme, including its siting, number and massing, design, materials and colour of the turbines and ancillary structures has been designed to avoid harm and minimize any unavoidable harm with the key consideration set out in the guidance for the relevant Landscape Character Type (Julie Martin Study) recognized and respected; opportunities to mitigate significant adverse effects and opportunities of landscape enhancement have

been taken; otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan P the guidance for siting multiple developments has been observed and the proposal does not worsen any cumulative landscape and visual issues that exist; access for construction traffic would not give rise to highway danger or permanent damage to the environment; the developer undertakes the removal of structures and full restoration of the site, to the satisfaction of the Council, should the whole, or part of the site become inoperative for power generation purposes; and the development would not significantly harm surface water, drainage, groundwater or water supply.

Solar

11.16 The take up of solar energy technologies has increased, particularly as the technology has become more efficient and costs have reduced. Solar power can be harnessed in a number of ways:

Solar photovoltaic panels - convert solar radiation into electricity. They have traditionally been found on the roofs of buildings but more recently interest has increased in solar farms with a number developed nationally, although none in Calderdale as yet. Solar Thermal Panels - convert solar radiation into hot water through a heat transfer system. Passive Solar Design – buildings are designed to make optimal use of the energy from the sun (See this Plan's Section on Sustainable Design and Construction)

11.17 Over the period of the Local Plan the number of properties installing solar PV and solar thermal, both on existing and new build properties, will increase both as a response to reducing energy costs and meeting 252 Renewable and Low Carbon Energy

increasingly stringent requirements for lower carbon emissions. The Council supports such an increase in the use of solar power but this approach has to reflect amenity concerns, particularly in sensitive locations such as within the curtilage of a listed building or within a conservation area. As the technology progresses this may become less of a concern as already there are panels designed which are almost indistinguishable 11 from normal roof tiles or slates.

Calder 11.18 Whilst proposals for ground mounted solar pv installations may come forward during the Plan period the levels of solar energy received in Calderdale mean that it is unlikely that proposals for large scale solar farms

dale MBC - A will be received. The approach to assessing the cumulative landscape and visual impact of large scale solar farms is broadly the same as assessing the impact of wind turbines. They should also be sited on previously developed and non-agricultural land but where they are sited on agricultural land poorer quality land is preferred to higher quality land. As solar farms are usually temporary structures they should be removed when no longer in use. utumn 2015 11.19 Energy costs and consumption (and thereby carbon emissions) can be reduced dramatically through the use of passive solar design. Key factors are the location, orientation and design of buildings together with landscaping. As part of the drive towards reducing carbon emissions the Council will encourage the use of passive solar design in new developments over the Plan period.

Solar Energy

Proposals to utilise solar energy will be permitted provided that:

they do not harm the amenity of the area and their design and siting minimise their impact on recipient buildings; solar thermal or photovoltaic panels will not be installed on a Listed Building where there would be a detrimental effect on the special architectural or historic character of the building; solar thermal or photovoltaic panels will not be installed within the curtilage of a Listed Building where there would be a detrimental effect on the setting of the building or within a Conservation Area where this would not preserve or enhance the area; large scale solar farms utilise previously developed and non-agricultural land; where agricultural land is to be used for solar farms poorer quality land is used in preference to higher quality land; and solar farms are removed when no longer in use and the land restored to its previous use.

Protection of Renewable Energy Installations

11.20 Existing renewable energy installations could have their performance adversely affected if the planning of new developments did not take account of their requirements for an uninterrupted flow of energy. In the case of wind energy inappropriately sited and designed buildings, including their height, could reduce wind speeds whereas height and spacing will be important to avoid overshadowing of existing active solar power installations in order to avoid a reduction in solar gain. It is also important that developments utilising passive solar techniques do not have their southern elevations overshadowed by inappropriately designed and located development, including any associated landscaping proposals, in order to avoid occupiers having to supplement their heating and lighting from other sources.

Combined Heat and Power

11.21 The use of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems can reduce emissions into the atmosphere by reducing the total fuel consumed in on-site boilers and therefore has a role to play in carbon reduction. This technology is suitable for buildings requiring a simultaneous need for hot water and electricity, such as swimming pools, 11 hotels, leisure centres and mixed developments. However, the boilers tend to create more noise than traditional boilers and can, therefore, create local environmental concerns. In most cases, these problems can be overcome by good design and correct operation. An example of this form of technology in Calderdale is Todmorden Sports Centre. The Council will support proposals for and investigate the feasibility of further CHP schemes across the district. utumn 2015

District Heat Networks

11.22 Heat networks differ from other technologies producing renewable and low carbon energy since they are primarily a form of distribution, although they may also include generation (including from renewable and low carbon sources). By locating developments which are users of heat close to developments producing waste heat opportunities for the use of this waste heat can be maximised. Nationally heat mapping by DECC has identified the locations with the most potential for supporting heat networks. Further work by LCR has identified the areas within the city region with heat loads sufficient to support district heat networks. Whilst a commercially viable opportunity has not yet been identified in Calderdale the Council wish to encourage developers to investigate and bring forward heat networks for new developments. The Council’s Energy Futures Strategy supports this form of development and further investigations are taking place to identify opportunities. Given that the Plan looks forward to 2032, there is the distinct possibility that opportunities for heat networks will arise during this period and the Council will support these. Where networks are feasible and viable future residential developments of 10 or more dwellings or developments of 1,000 or more square metres will need to either connect to an existing heat network or demonstrate how sites have been designed

to allow for connection to a future district heating network. Policy TP 24 'Heat Networks' reflects this current otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan position and demonstrates the Council’s support for heat networks. Means of achieving the necessary P infrastructure could be through Local Development Orders and/or CIL contributions.

12.1 The NPPF makes it clear that 'inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding should be avoided by directing development away from areas at highest risk, but where development is necessary, making it safe without increasing flood risk elsewhere'. Supported by the Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA), the Local Plan is focused upon managing flood risk from all sources and applying a sequential, risk-based approach to the location of development to avoid where possible flood risk 12 to people and property and manage any residual risk, taking account of the impacts of climate change.

Flood Risk

Map 12.1 Flood Risk in Calderdale utumn 2015 dale MBC - A Calder otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan P

12.2 Historically, the River Calder and its tributaries have experienced serious flooding, which has strongly impacted on life and property, not least in the upper valley settlements, particularly Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd and Todmorden. Overall, there are approximately 13,300 properties at risk of flooding in the Calder, Colne, Holme, Spen and Ings Beck catchments. Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield jointly commissioned a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) in 2005. The SFRA provides a detailed assessment of flood risk areas throughout the district, and was updated in 2008 to reflect the policies set out in Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk and again in 2015 to reflect the policies set out in the NPPF and to provide more up-to-date flood risk mapping. Whilst Planning Policy Statements have been replaced by the NPPF, the main requirements of PPS 25 have been retained along with best practice guidance.

12.3 The 2015 SFRA uses the Environment Agency Flood Map issued in August 2015 to assess fluvial risk. In Calderdale, the study identifies 4,648 residential properties to be within Flood Zone 3 and therefore be at risk from a 1 in 100 year or greater fluvial flood event. The wards with the most properties at risk include Todmorden, Calder and Luddendenfoot with 2,124, 805 and 631 residential properties at risk respectively. It should be noted that the Flood Map is precautionary in that it does not take account of flood defences and therefore represents a worst-case extent of flooding.

12.4 Rivers are not the only source of flooding; other sources include failure of infrastructure, for example a burst water main, groundwater flooding and pluvial/surface water flooding caused by periods of intense or prolonged rainfall. Surface water flooding can occur anywhere in Calderdale where ground levels and terrain profiles tend to cause surface water to flow and accumulate. Whilst the main cause of surface water flooding in 256 Flooding and Water Environment

Calderdale is the steep topography surrounding towns and villages, other contributing factors include poor land management, canal breaching/overtopping, new developments and blocked ditches, gullies and culverts.

12.5 New development must not adversely impact on river catchment areas, functional flood plains and flood 12 storage areas or increase the risk of flooding elsewhere, and this must be taken into account in the Local Plan and when considering planning applications. When assessing development proposals, evidence will

Calder need to be provided to show that measures to manage flood risk from run-off have been incorporated into the proposal's design. dale MBC - A 12.6 Flood management should assist development in Calderdale where there is little development land available outside higher flood risk zones, provided that the sequential approach required by the NPPF has been followed. The sequential approach requires local planning authorities to demonstrate there are no reasonably available sites in areas with a lower probability of flooding that would be appropriate to the type of development

utumn 2015 or land use proposed. Preference should be given to locating new development in Zone 1 (areas of lowest flood risk), before locating development in the higher flood risk zones, Zone 2 (medium risk) and Zone 3a and 3ai (high probability). Zone 3b is the functional floodplain. Where it is not possible to locate development in lower flood risk zones following a sequential test, the Exception Test can be used. P

otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan 12.7 The Exception Test should only be applied when the sequential test has failed to deliver acceptable sites and large areas lie within Flood Risk Zones 2 and 3.The test provides a method of managing flood risk while still allowing necessary development to occur, allowing the wider aims of sustainable development to be met. Even where suitable development sites lie within Zone 1, the impact on areas downstream needs to be taken into account in order to avoid increasing flood risk elsewhere.

12.8 The Council has carried out a Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) which indicates that the majority of areas where growth will be located are within Flood Zone 1. However, certain locations are particularly sensitive to an increase in the rate and volume of surface water runoff from new development and are generally known to have local flooding issues. These are areas with complex surface water flooding problems that would benefit from a site-specific Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) and ultimately a drainage strategy. The Level 1 SFRA proposes that these areas be designated Critical Drainage Areas (CDAs), with further refinement and formal designation taking place as part of a Level 2 SFRA.

12.9 Site-specific FRAs will be required for development proposals which fall within CDAs, regardless of which Flood Zone that applies, and Flood Zones 2 and 3. Prospective developers required to submit a site-specific FRA must demonstrate that the development will be safe for its lifetime taking account of the vulnerability of its users, without increasing flood risk elsewhere, and, where possible, will reduce flood risk overall. In CDAs, a site-specific FRA should also demonstrate that new development is not at risk from flooding from existing drainage systems or potential overflow routes.

12.10 Flood risk is predicted to increase as a result of climate change and the associated extreme weather events. However, climate change is not the sole factor to take into account, other factors include the capacity of existing infrastructure. Sustainable drainage systems and other forms of 'Green Infrastructure' such as green spaces and increased tree cover can assist existing infrastructure in accommodating heavy rainfall and can free up water storage capacity.

Flood Risk Management 12 The Council will require new development to be directed away from flood zones 2 and 3 in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework. Development will only be permitted if it can be demonstrated that:

It would not give rise to the loss of flood plain storage;

It would not impede the flow of flood water, surface water or obstruct the run-off of water due to high utumn 2015 levels of groundwater; Measures required to manage any flood risk can be implemented; The management of surface water is done in a sustainable way. Development should enable/replicate natural water flows and decrease surface water runoff, particularly in Critical Drainage Areas, through Sustainable Drainage Systems, utilising green infrastructure where possible and as directed by local dale MBC - A standards and guidance;

Provision is made for the long term maintenance and management of any flood protection and or mitigation Calder measures; It will take into account climate change; The benefits of it to the community outweigh the risk.

Development should have full regard to and compliance with the advice of the Environment Agency (or equivalent agency), the objectives and priorities for flood risk management set out in the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy and the published evidence of local flood risk and its significance as included in Strategic Flood Risk Assessments, Surface Water Management Plans and other recognised sources of flood risk data.

Water Environment

12.11 The EU Water Framework Directive requires that all inland waters must reach at least ‘good’ chemical and ecological status by 2015. The Environment Agency is responsible for its implementation, working with relevant partners including the water industry and Local Authorities.

12.12 Large scale development has the potential to cause water pollution and to harm aquatic environments including both surface and groundwater. Harm to water quality can derive from both construction activities or from the load placed on the sewage system by occupied development. Aquatic environments are precious not only due to their biodiversity characteristics but also for their amenity and recreational value.

12.13 The main ways in which Local Authorities can influence water quality are by: 258 Flooding and Water Environment

encouraging the use of sustainable drainage systems and other forms of Green Infrastructure as a way to reduce water run-off; and ensuring that development adjacent to water resources is carefully controlled to prevent water pollution from land contaminants, waste water, industrial and construction processes and litter / fly tipping. 12 12.14 Where infiltration type Sustainable Drainage Systems are inappropriate due to ground conditions (soil type,

Calder contaminated land issues etc.), non-infiltration type Sustainable Drainage Systems such as green roofs and rainwater harvesting may be appropriate. Therefore the Council will only regard Sustainable Drainage Systems

dale MBC - A as inappropriate in exceptional circumstances, where it can be demonstrated.

12.15 New development can place increased pressure on water quality. Avoiding adverse effects is largely in the hands of the water companies through the provision of sewage treatment infrastructure and the Environment Agency who issue consent to discharge effluent. Development in the district should therefore be phased and

utumn 2015 timed to keep pace with the provision of necessary sewage treatment infrastructure, in order to avoid placing excessive demands upon an overburdened system.

P Policy TP 26 otential Sites and other Aspects of the Local Plan Water Environment

The Council will work with key stakeholders to protect the quality and quantity of water resources; encourage their efficient use and ensure that they are provided where necessary. Priority will be given to:

1. Protecting and enhancing ground and surface water features and preventing aquatic pollution; 2. Ensuring new development has an adequate means of water supply, sufficient foul and surface water drainage and sewage treatment capacity. Development must be phased to take into account the timing of any new water resource development and sewage treatment infrastructure required. Any additional provision or improvement of infrastructure must be funded in advance of development taking place; 3. Only permitting development if there is no adverse impact to the quality or use of surface or ground water resources; and 4. Only permitting development if there is no adverse impact on habitats and species dependent on the aquatic environment.
