Revised Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report July 2013 London Borough of Richmond upon Thames Local Plan Development Plan Document REVISED Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report May 2016 Revised SA Scoping Report of Local Plan May 2016 NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY 1 Introduction This document forms the Scoping Report for a Sustainability Appraisal (SA), incorporating the requirements for a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames Local Plan. The primary purpose of the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) is to promote sustainable development through the better integration of sustainability considerations in the process of preparing and adopting plans. SA is an iterative process allowing us to identify and report on the likely significant effects of the plan, and the extent to which the implementation of the plan will achieve the social, environmental and economic objectives by which sustainable development can be defined. This is an updated Scoping Report, based on the version produced for the Site Allocations Plan in July 2013. Changes have been made to the draft document following consultation in January 2016 with the three statutory consultees with environmental responsibilities in England, along with other relevant stakeholders with a sustainability remit or a local interest. 1.1 The Purpose of the SA/SEA The purpose of the SA (incorporating SEA) is to ensure that environmental, social and economic considerations have been integrated into the preparation of the Local Plan. The SA will: Ensure compliance with the SEA Directive, SEA Regulations and guidance on SEA/SA; Review the Local Plan’s relationship with other plans operating at a national, regional and more local level with regard to their policies and programmes; Establish the baseline environmental, social and economic characteristics of the area; Identify any current environmental constraints, issues and problems; Help develop viable options and alternatives; and Review the sustainability impacts of the options, and of any preferred SPD option. 1.2 The Local Plan In Richmond upon Thames, Local Plans are managed through a portfolio of documents, which are individually known as Local Development Documents. These Local Development Documents or ‘Plans’ are either statutory (Development Plan Documents) or non-statutory (Supplementary Planning Documents). Development Plan Documents (DPDs) carry more weight as they are subject to an independent examination by a Planning Inspector before they are adopted. Supplementary Planning Documents are not subject to such an examination. The previously adopted Core Strategy, adopted Development Management Plan and consultation draft Site Allocation Plan were all appraised using previous SA Scoping Reports. 1.3 Methodology 2 Revised SA Scoping Report of Local Plan May 2016 The SEA/SA process consists of the following stages and is being undertaken in accordance with government guidance contained within Planning Practice Guidance (PPG): http://planningguidance.planningportal.gov.uk/blog/guidance/strategic-environmental- assessment-and-sustainability-appraisal/strategic-environmental-assessment-and- sustainability-appraisal-and-how-does-it-relate-to-strategic-environmental-assessment/ The methodology is as follows: Stage A: Setting the context and objectives, establishing the baseline and deciding on the scope Stage B: Developing and refining options Stage C: Appraising the effects of the plan Stage D: Consulting on the plan and the SEA/SA report Stage E: Monitoring Implementation of the Plan The inter-relationship of the SA and Local Plan preparation process is set out in the diagram on the following page. In the Scoping Report, Stage A of the methodology is further divided into five key tasks. An initial non-statutory consultation on the scope and rationale for review of planning policies (Core strategy 2009 and Development Management Plan 2011) together with the emerging site allocation was undertaken from 4 January to 8 February 2016 when a draft scoping report was made available to the statutory consultees and other relevant stakeholders. This report summarises and completes Stage A of the Sustainability Appraisal process and accompanies the first statutory consultation on the draft Local Plan (pre-publication) Reg 18. STAGE A: Setting the context and objectives, establishing the baseline and deciding on the scope Identify other relevant plans, programmes and sustainability objectives that will Stage A1 influence the Local Plan Collect and develop relevant social, environmental and economic baseline information Stage A2 and define the character of the area Stage A3 Identify key sustainability issues for the Plan to address Stage A4 Develop the SA framework, consisting of the SA objectives, indicators and targets. Stage A5 Consult on the scope of the SA It should be noted that SA is an iterative process and some stages may need to be undertaken more than once. 1.4 Scope of the SA/SEA Baseline data and the development of the SEA/SA framework has been organised in accordance with the topics required by the SEA Directive and as outlined in the PPG. The scope of the baseline review has been refined to cover the broader spectrum of sustainability issues which reflect the combination of both SEA and SA assessments. 3 Revised SA Scoping Report of Local Plan May 2016 4 Revised SA Scoping Report of Local Plan May 2016 2 Setting the context and objectives, establishing the baseline and deciding on the scope 2.1 Task A1: Identify other relevant plans, programmes and sustainability objectives The development of the Plan may be influenced by other plans or programmes and by external environmental objectives such as those laid down in policies or legislation. Part of SEA Directive Annex 1a (e) requires an outline of the relationship with other relevant plans and programmes. Therefore, as part of this baseline review, a description of the policy context has been included in order to enable potential synergies to be highlighted and any inconsistencies and constraints to be identified. 2.2 Task A2: Develop relevant social, environmental and economic baseline information Baseline data has been collected for the criteria required by the SEA Directive and PPG. This data has been fed into the sustainability baseline. This scope of this data collection has been expanded to include several additional social and economic topic areas in order to address the full spectrum of sustainability issues. 2.3 Task A3: Identify key sustainability issues Within Richmond borough, certain sustainability issues are more significant than others. These issues will need to be highlighted as areas of concern within the Sustainability Appraisal. The key sustainability issues have been divided into social, environmental and economic. 2.4 Task A4: Develop the SA framework A sustainability framework with decision making criteria to test the performance of the Plan has been developed. This framework assists in comparing the various policies, options and proposals for the area in general and for identified sites, in particular in relation to their spatial location, proposed scale of growth and mix of land uses. The objectives developed for the Sustainability Appraisal of the Core Strategy have been subsequently reviewed as part of the Development Management Plan, Twickenham Area Action Plan and emerging Local Plan. For the purpose of preparing this report, the objectives have been reviewed again and compared to other national, regional and local documents. The objectives for the SEA/SA can be viewed in this report. Some of the objectives have been amended to reflect previous comments from stakeholders, but their general thrust remains the same. The objectives may be refined further based on consultations with statutory bodies and key stakeholders. 2.5 Task A5: Consulting on the scope of the SA The scoping report was issued to the statutory consultees and other relevant stakeholders along with a covering letter clarifying their input and requirements within the statutory five-week period. Specific consultation questions were included within this document to assist consultees with their responses. A copy of the questions can be found at Appendix 3 and further comments on the scoping report will be considered. 5 Revised SA Scoping Report of Local Plan May 2016 Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report TABLE OF CONTENTS NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY .................................................................. 2 1 INTRODUCTION ............................................................................... 8 1.1 Strategic Environmental Assessment / Sustainability Appraisal ....................... 8 1.2 This Scoping Report ......................................................................................... 9 1.3 The Local Plan ................................................................................................ 10 2 CONTEXT REVIEW ........................................................................ 12 2.1 Strategic Environmental Assessment / Sustainability Appraisal ..................... 12 2.2 Plans, Policies and Programmes .................................................................... 12 2.3 Key findings from the PPP analysis ................................................................ 16 3 COLLECTING BASELINE INFORMATION .................................... 21 3.1 Introduction ..................................................................................................... 21 3.2 Summary .......................................................................................................

  • A Geotrail in Richmond Park
    A Geotrail in Richmond Park 1 Richmond Park Geotrail In an urban environment it is often difficult to ‘see’ the geology beneath our feet. This is also true within our open spaces. In Richmond Park there is not much in the way of actual rocks to be seen but it is an interesting area geologically as several different rock types occur there. It is for this reason that the southwest corner has been put forward as a Locally Important Geological Site. We will take clues from the landscape to see what lies beneath. Richmond Park affords fine views to both west and east which will throw a wider perspective on the geology of London. Richmond Park is underlain by London Clay, about 51 million years old. This includes the sandier layers at the top, known as the Claygate beds. The high ground near Kingston Gate includes the Claygate beds but faulting along a line linking Pen Ponds to Ham Gate has allowed erosion on the high ground around Pembroke Lodge. Both high points are capped by the much younger Black Park Gravel, which is only about 400,000 years old, the earliest of the Thames series of terraces formed after the great Anglian glaciation. Younger Thames terrace gravels are also to be found in Richmond Park. Useful maps and guide books The Royal Parks have a printable pdf map of Richmond Park on their website: www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/richmond-park/map-of-richmond-park.
