1.1 Newcastle City Council and Gateshead Council adopted the Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan (CSUCP) on 26 March 2015. The CSUCP is a strategic Introduction Local Plan document which sets out a clear framework for growth in Gateshead and Newcastle from 2010 to 2030. The CSUCP sets out key strategic policies for the quantity and location of new housing, retail and employment provision, together with transport and other infrastructure provision. It seeks to protect and enhance the natural and built environment, and contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation.

1.2 The CSUCP was prepared in accordance with the relevant legislation and was found to be legally compliant. The CSUCP was also deemed “sound” subject to a number of main modifications, when assessed against the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) which was in force at the time of the examination (the 2012 NPPF).

1.3 Paragraph 33 of the revised NPPF (published in 2019) requires that policies within local plans: “should be reviewed to assess whether they need updating at least once every five years, and should then be updated as necessary”. This requirement is also set out in Regulation 10A of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (as amended). Accordingly, Gateshead Council and Newcastle City Council have undertaken this review to assess whether the policies of the CSUCP require updating either in full or in part.

1.4 The report has been structured to include the councils’ approach to the CSUCP review, including how we fulfilled the Duty to Co-operate and a comprehensive assessment of the performance of each policy by section and theme, considering all the factors set out in the PPG.

1.5 Based on the commentary set out in this report and supporting appendices including a detailed review of each CSUCP Policy Review (Appendix 1), it is concluded that the policies in the CSUCP continue to be in general conformity with the NPPF and PPG. The latest evidence and Data Monitoring Table (Appendix 2) shows that the policies are effective. Where performance has differed from the targets set in the CSUCP, the councils consider that this is a consequence of issues or trends that are outside the scope of the Local Plan and updating CSUCP policies would not improve performance against the Plan’s objectives.

Context

1.6 The CSUCP provides the first part of both councils’ Local Plans, containing an overall vision, objectives, spatial strategy and policies to deliver economic prosperity and create lifetime neighbourhoods. The Plan covers the whole of the area within the administrative boundaries of Gateshead and Newcastle and includes strategic policies and specific policies for the Urban Core, Sub-Areas and sites.

6 Introduction 1.7 Both local authorities involved key stakeholders in identifying the CSUCP’s overarching vision and themes. From these themes and initial evidence base work there emerged 12 strategic objectives delivering the CSUCP vision for sustainable economic growth. The CSUCP’s themes and objectives also had regard to national and local plans, policies, strategies and evidence prepared by the Government, local authorities, and partner organisations. The CSUCP’s objectives are discussed further in the plan conformity and policy performance chapters of this report.

1.8 As part of the Duty-to-Cooperate, Gateshead and Newcastle councils continue to work with neighbouring local authorities and prescribed bodies on a range of social, economic and environmental issues. Collaborative working between Gateshead and Newcastle Councils and partner organisations (including neighbouring local authorities) has contributed to the implementation of policies in the CSUCP.

1.9 The shared social and economic conditions of Gateshead and Newcastle local authority areas, in addition to their geographic proximity means that effective joint-working, established in the preparation of the CSUCP, continues to be an important element of plan-making and implementation for both local authorities. The Councils’ planning teams collaborate on preparing and updating evidence to support their adopted and emerging local plan policies, most notably in producing evidence to inform and support emerging policies of the MSGP and DAP documents (including a jointly commissioned 2017 Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne Strategic Housing Market Assessment). Continued close working between the local authorities resulted in it being appropriate for the review of the CSUCP to be undertaken jointly.

1.10 In addition to Gateshead and Newcastle Councils working together, since 2016 Newcastle, North Tyneside and Northumberland Councils have been working to form a new mayoral combined authority. The new North of Tyne combined authority came into being in November 2018. In addition to the North of Tyne combined authority, the North East Combined Authority (which includes Durham County Council, Gateshead Council, South Tyneside Council and Sunderland City Council) continues to operate, with input from Newcastle, North Tyneside and Northumberland Councils to deliver transport, infrastructure and economic growth priorities of the region.

1.11 Implementation of the CSUCP requires partnership working and co- operation with a range of organisations, including developers, businesses, residents, community groups, transport and service providers and neighbouring authorities. The CSUCP also outlines how the councils intend to monitor and manage the Plan in terms of delivery of the spatial vision, strategic objectives and implementation of the strategy. The Councils’ Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) (2020) sets out the infrastructure required to deliver the Plan and has been updated to reflect new and emerging schemes.

7 1.12 Both Councils are, at the time of writing, preparing emerging land allocations and development management plans (Gateshead’s Making Spaces for Growing Places [MSGP] and Newcastle’s Development and Allocations plan [DAP]). These plans are non- strategic and will supplement and implement the strategic policies of the CSUCP. The plans have been Introduction prepared to similar timescales and were submitted for examination in Spring 2019, with DAP examination hearings taking place in July 2019, and MSGP examination hearings in October 2019. Subject to being found ‘sound’ following examination, and subject to Council approval, these documents are expected to be adopted in 2020. Accordingly, in carrying out the CSUCP review it is relevant to note the content of the emerging DAP and MSGP plans, and the extent to which these documents can support and fulfil requirements that are not already addressed by the CSUCP. The evidence prepared to inform the emerging DAP and MSGP plans provides relevant information that can also inform the CSUCP review. The content of the CSUCP review is consistent with the Councils’ positions regarding relevant policy issues set out in the statements made to support the examination of the emerging DAP and MSGP documents.

1.13 In relation to MSGP, a letter from the Inspector has been published on the Council’s website which confirms that MSGP will contribute to meeting the delivery of the CSUCP, and that the review process provides the Council with the opportunity to consider the strategic approach to housing supply in light of both the current national policy and the latest position on Gateshead’s housing supply, as discussed in chapter 4 of this report.

Approach to Reviewing the CSUCP

1.14 Although there is no prescriptive approach in national policy setting out specific requirements for plan reviews, guidance is provided within Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). Paragraph ID 61-064-20190315 makes clear that: “The review process is a method to ensure that a plan and the policies within remains effective”, while also noting that “Policies age at different rates according to local circumstances and a plan does not become out-of-date automatically after 5 years”. Paragraph ID 61-063- 20190315 notes that the requirement to review applies to all development plan documents, and both strategic and non-strategic policies.

1.15 PPG also sets out the information that can be considered when determining whether a plan or policies should be updated. Paragraph ID 61-065-20190723 states:

“The authority can consider information such as (but not exclusively): • conformity with national planning policy; • changes to local circumstances; such as a change in Local Housing Need; • their Housing Delivery Test performance; • whether the authority can demonstrate a 5 year supply of deliverable sites for housing; • whether issues have arisen that may impact on the deliverability of key site allocations; • their appeals performance;

8 Introduction • success of policies against indicators in the Development Plan as set out in their Authority Monitoring Report; • the impact of changes to higher tier plans; • plan-making activity by other authorities, such as whether they have identified that they are unable to meet all their housing need; • significant economic changes that may impact on viability; and • whether any new social, environmental or economic priorities may have arisen.”

1.16 The approach taken to the CSUCP review complies with the PPG. Policies have been assessed to determine whether they continue to provide an effective basis for decision-making when considered against the relevant factors set out in PPG. The review assesses the effectiveness of all CSUCP policies, including the strategic policies CS1 to CS21, Urban Core policies UC1 to UC17, Sub-Areas and Sites policies for both Gateshead and Newcastle, and Delivery and Monitoring policy DEL1.

1.17 Appendix 3 of the CSUCP provides a comprehensive monitoring framework including trigger points and remedial actions for each policy (excepting policies CS1-4 which provide the Plan’s overarching spatial strategy and will be monitored by assessing the performance of a combination of other relevant policies in the Plan). The monitoring framework also sets out specific monitoring indicators and targets that form the basis of each Council’s Authority Monitoring Report. In keeping with PPG, the assessment of policy performance against the plan’s monitoring framework forms an integral part of the plan review. Data on performance against the CSUCP’s monitoring targets and indicators is provided in the Data Monitoring Table at Appendix 2, while the assessment of policy performance, at Appendix 1, also considers performance against targets and indicators.

1.18 The national planning policy context has evolved since the CSUCP’s adoption in March 2015. A revised NPPF was published in February 2019, while PPG has been updated to varying extents over the last five years. The CSUCP review therefore considers whether, and the extent to which, the plan’s policies are in conformity with the requirements of the new NPPF and relevant PPG at the point it has been prepared (January 2020). The assessment of policy conformity with national planning policy is presented in detail within the policy assessment table at Appendix 1. Where relevant, changes since the 2012 NPPF found in the 2019 NPPF are discussed within the policy performance chapter of this report.

1.19 In addition to the detailed assessment of specific policies at Appendix 1, the Policy Performance chapter of this report (reflecting the structure of the CSUCP, i.e. themes and sections of: Economic Prosperity, Homes, Transport and Accessibility, People and Place, and Minerals and Waste, Urban Core, and Sub-Areas and Sites) provides an assessment of whether relevant factors have implications for the effectiveness of CSUCP policies. The Policy Performance chapter also considers the conformity of the plan’s overarching Strategic Objectives with each councils’ latest priorities and objectives. This assessment of relevant factors considered by theme, in addition to the policy-specific assessment at Appendix 1, ensures the plan review provides a comprehensive appraisal of the effectiveness of the plan as a whole, taking into account all relevant factors.

Source ocal plannin authorities aret inimise loss of primary retail frontae for each local authority

The CSUCP designates primary retail frontage in both Newcastle’s Retail Centre and Gateshead’s rimary Shoppin Area SA as addressed in policies NC1 and GC1. hilst the etent of primary retail frontae is not monitored specifically retail surveys are carried out on at least an annual basis and proposals for chane of use within these areas are assessed in terms of the resultin impact on the etent of primary retail frontae and the vitality and viability of the centre.

he policies are therefore applied effectively durin the development manaement process with evidence that related decisions are bein upheld at appeal.

Summary here has been no loss of primary retail frontae.

Gateshead ince the adoption of the plan, permission has been granted on five proposals advertised as departures from Green elt policies

Tyne alley otorhomes, Lobley ill Road, yermoor hange of use of land to etension to eisting motorhome sales and service facilities. (1800L) NPP para 1 allows for engineering operations in the Green elt (i.e. they are not inappropriate development) the part of the application site that is within Gateshead boundary is the land proposed to be used for access on the site, with tarmac and gravel surfacing consistent with the eisting arrangement.

acred eart Roman atholic Primary chool, Lobley ill Road, yermoor ormation of hard standing to support car parking, manoeuvring and dropping off passengers (retrospective) (10088L) The potential harm to the Green elt by reason of inappropriateness and any other harm are limited, and the significant improvements that would flow from the scheme weigh heavily in its favour.

tampley oss arm, Thornley Lane, Rowlands Gill utdoor euestrian training arena (100830L) Proposal was reported to Planning ommittee with a recommendation to refuse. ommittee considered the proposal would be inappropriate development but that by reason of the benefits to the local area, arising from increased euestrian facilities and economic benefit, very special circumstances eist that clearly outweigh the intrinsic harm to the Green elt and any other harm. The ommittee considered that compensation of ecological harm could be reuired by condition.

Land d Public ar Park, pa ell Road, inlaton ill Local eritage entre with cafeteria and office suite, access paths and overspill parking (1000L) The proposal constitutes inappropriate development that will harm the Green elt. owever, cumulatively the benefits of the proposal constitute very special circumstances that would clearly outweigh the harm to the green belt along with any other harm.

Land n North ide f Lead Road (Penny ill) onstruction of gas powered standby generation plant (180100L) The scheme would diminish the openness of the Green elt, albeit only for the anticipated 2 year lifespan of the facility. The benefits of the proposal carry significant weight, as do the conseuential economic and social benefits through provision of infrastructure.

Newcastle n 2011 there were two schemes advertised as departures from green belt policies. • 201101T rection 1 dwellings (comprising 8 dwellings in the north walled garden and dwellings in the south walled garden) • 2011001T hange of use from lass 2 and 1 to lass 3 (flat) (Retrospective)

n application was approved for the restoration and conversion of oolsington all to incorporate a 32bed hotel, restaurant and spa comple (2011201T). This application is within the Green elt, however it was considered that reusing the eisting buildings including the listed building and reinstatement of the historic park and garden, thus securing the long term preservation of a heritage asset would on 0 balance demonstrate the ‘very special

32 circumstances’ to justify the development within in the green belt.
