1) Introduction

The Neighbourhood Plan process will provide residents, businesses, service providers and local organisations with a unique opportunity to help guide development within the designated area, plan the future delivery of local services and facilities, and ensure that Houghton on the Hill remains a vibrant and sustainable place to live, work, and do business.

To support the successful development of the Neighbourhood Plan, the RCC was commissioned by the Houghton Neighbourhood Plan Working Party to organise and independently facilitate a consultation workshop of key local stakeholders which was held on 16th March 2016 at Houghton Village Hall, Main Street, Houghton on the Hill.

5) Issues and Priorities Group Discussions - Results

Facilitated discussion took place within 5 groups. Each group looked at the key issues and opportunities for consideration within the Houghton Neighbourhood Plan area under a series of 8 topics; Housing & Use of Land; Traffic, Transport & Access; Landscape, Green Spaces & Heritage; Facilities & Services; Local Economy & Employment; Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy; Phone & Internet Communications; and Vision of Houghton in 10 Years’ Time.

Tables 2 - 9 detail the key discussion points covered under each topic by each of the 5 groups.

Table 2: Issues & Priorities – Housing & Use of Land:

Housing & Use of Land Group 1 1. “Green Belt” should be preserved between Houghton and Thurnby (a priority shared by Thurnby & Bushby Parish Council). Group 2 1. Golf Course at may move to Gaulby Lane with road access from A47. 2. Consider writing a Village Design Statement as part of the plan (CPRE). Group 3 1. Some areas for development don’t fit in the village e.g. SHLAA areas F & G. 2. NP could inform the mix of housing – need for smaller 4 bedroom and 3 bedroom detached housing. Group 4 1. Affordable Housing so children who were born in the village are able to buy a house in the village. 2. New development passed near allotments (B on map) – outline permission. 3. Site A on map could be area of new housing providing secure access to village for school and main services – issue crossing A47. 4. Adopt Ingarsby Close – Decent road. 5. B okay to accept – general support. G, E, and F more problematic. 6. Type of Housing – children cannot afford local housing. Suitable housing for older people required + family housing. 7. A47 issue of safety if development to north then a crossing is required. Group 5 1. May need to be a braver view on housing – to achieve road alterations (AB) 2. Increased green space for sports facilities (SG)

6) Post Event Feedback & Comments

Following the Stakeholder Consultation Workshop held on 16th March, the RCC contacted project stakeholders by e-mail on behalf of the Houghton Neighbourhood Plan Working Party providing them with the following:

1. Full copy of all presentation slides from the 16th March event (Appendix 1) 2. Stakeholder Comments Form (Appendix 3)

The following feedback and comments were received:

Table 10: Stakeholder Feedback – NFU Region

Thank you for consulting the NFU about the neighbourhood development plan. Our general comments are as follows:-

The NFU has 4,800 farmer members out of the 6,000 farmers in the East Midlands region who are commercial farmers. About 80 per cent of land within Harborough District is farmed. The viability and success of farmers near Houghton on the Hill is crucial to the local economy and the environment. Farmers need local plan policies which enable:-

- New farm buildings needed by the business. This could be for regulatory reasons (e.g. new slurry stores) or because new or more crops and livestock are being farmed (grain stores, barns, livestock housing etc). - Farm and rural diversification. Some farmers will be in a good position to diversify into equine businesses, on farm leisure and tourism and in other sectors which will help boost the local economy and support the farm business. - On farm renewable energy. Farms can be ideal places for wind turbines, pv, solar, anaerobic digestion, biomass and biofuels plant provided they do not cause nuisance to others. The UK must meet a target of 15% renewables by 2020. Currently we are languishing in last place of EU member states at 5% of energy needs met by renewables. On farm renewables can help us to meet this EU target and avoid infraction penalties without causing nuisance to others. - Conversion of vernacular buildings on farms into new business use or residential use. This enables parts of older buildings to be preserved whilst helping the economy and the farm business.

The NFU will be looking to see that the neighbourhood plan has policies which positively encourage the above and do not deter them because of, for example, restrictive landscape designations and sustainable transport policies which imply that all development needs to be by a bus stop. There can also be issues about new buildings being sited too close to noisy or smelly farm buildings which cause nuisance to new householders and lead to abatement notices being served on longstanding businesses. We would urge the local planning authority to be especially careful before granting permission to residential development near to bad neighbour uses.

I look forward to commenting on more detailed draft policies in the neighbourhood plan process.

Table 12: Stakeholder Feedback – Sport

Thank you for consulting Sport England on the above Neighbourhood Consultation.

Planning Policy in the National Planning Policy Framework identifies how the planning system can play an important role in facilitating social interaction and creating healthy, inclusive communities. Encouraging communities to become more physically active through walking, cycling, informal recreation and formal sport plays an important part in this process and providing enough sports facilities of the right quality and type and in the right places is vital to achieving this aim. This means positive planning for sport, protection from unnecessary loss of sports facilities and an integrated approach to providing new housing and employment land and community facilities provision is important.

It is important therefore that the Neighbourhood Plan reflects national policy for sport as set out in the above document with particular reference to Pars 73 and 74 to ensure proposals comply with National Planning Policy. It is also important to be aware of Sport England’s role in protecting playing fields and the presumption against the loss of playing fields (see link below), as set out in our national guide, ‘A Sporting Future for the Playing Fields of England – Planning Policy Statement’. http://www.sportengland.org/facilities-planning/planning-for-sport/development- management/planning-applications/playing-field-land/

Sport England provides guidance on developing policy for sport and further information can be found following the link below: http://www.sportengland.org/facilities-planning/planning-for-sport/forward-planning/

Sport England works with Local Authorities to ensure Local Plan policy is underpinned by robust and up to date assessments and strategies for indoor and outdoor sports delivery. If local authorities have prepared a Playing Pitch Strategy or other indoor/outdoor sports strategy it will be important that the Neighbourhood Plan reflects the recommendations set out in that document and that any local investment opportunities, such as the Community Infrastructure Levy, are utilised to support the delivery of those recommendations. http://www.sportengland.org/facilities-planning/planning-for-sport/planning-tools-and-guidance/

If new sports facilities are being proposed Sport England recommend you ensure such facilities are fit for purpose and designed in accordance with our design guidance notes. http://www.sportengland.org/facilities-planning/tools-guidance/design-and-cost-guidance/

If you need any further advice please do not hesitate to contact Sport England using the contact details below.

Yours sincerely

Planning Administration Team

Table 13: Stakeholder Feedback – Barbara J Taylor

Topic Issues, Priorities or Comments Many retirees need smaller properties to downsize, which are currently unavailable. Their children wish to return to the village and there are not any affordable starter homes. Young families keep the village and the local (excellent) Housing & Use of Land school alive. There are more than enough larger family homes already. We need Houghton families to attend the school and less coming from outlying areas. This will also solve some parking issues. Main Street parking; bus sometimes cannot get through. More provision for parking needed, especially near the village hall, the school and the Co-op store. Suggest parking areas opposite cricket ground, on St Catharine's Way near church, Traffic, Transport & take down half garages in Seven Locks are, as only cosmetically maintained with a Access lick of paint and in a poor state and tarmac & line-paint parking area on playing field to enable more cars to park. Village Hall parking for up to six cars could be accessed thro' suggested area on St. Catharine's Way and a padlocked barrier provided. Green spaces highly valued; maintain existing ones, although the wide green verges on St Catharine's Way would go to parking. Perhaps the margins of the land Landscape, Green recently given to the church could be developed into a nature reserve walk and the Spaces & Heritage farmer would still be able to use the land for sheep and cattle. Any housing development should provide green spaces for people to walk or sit and for children to play. We need another shop, probably at the Stretton Lane end of the village. A delicatessen and café would probably suit our village. The Solo garage store needs replacing. If the Co-op or a similar sized store was on the A47 with some parking Facilities & Services available, this would access passing trade and relieve parking on Main Street. Would this be possible near the entrance to Ingarsby Lane, where more development is proposed? The two pubs are good centres for local relaxation, dining and employment. Young professional parents require a nursery. The aging population will need more care Local Economy & services and possibly a place to meet, sit in comfort and receive services, such as Employment chiropody and enjoying a coffee. There could be provision of office space for small technology based businesses. Many people require help with their technology in this village. Quite a few people in this village already have their houses as well insulated as possible. A few have solar panels on their roofs. Energy Efficiency & A field of solar panels is being installed off Ingarsby Lane. Renewable Energy Apart from installing solar panels on all new houses with a southerly aspect, this is enough. Apparently we have a limit on our Broadband development. The actual wiring within the village itself requires updating for our service to improve. Some people Phone & Internet cannot access Fast Speed Broadband, as they have applied too late. Communications Although this house has access, the signal sometimes drops out. This situation needs improving. It appears we may have three areas of housing; off Stretton Lane opposite the cricket field, off Winkley Close and by the allotments. This will be about 200 houses Vision of Houghton in 10 and a n increase on a third on the existing 600 homes. Years Time Obviously the existing population needs catering for (aging) and renewing; young families with a range of income, including lower end. We do not want an isolated and detached dynamic to our community. The school is a great part of the village.
