Introduction 1.1 What the Plan is for 1.1.1 The Council has a statutory duty to prepare, monitor and review a development plan for the Borough. The purpose of the Plan is to set out the long-term spatial vision for how its towns, villages and countryside will develop and change over the Plan period (2011- 2028), and how this vision will be delivered through a strategy for promoting, distributing and delivering sustainable development and growth. 1.1.2 The Plan started life as the Local Development Framework (LDF) Core Strategy prepared under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and set within the context of the West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) and its emphasis on urban renaissance. The Core Strategy was firmly focused on meeting local needs and aspirations through local engagement, but with strategic perspective and responsibility. The Plan has been developed in the light of the changing political and legislative landscape of regional and local planning, including the Localism Act 2011 and the Duty to Co-operate. 1.1.3 The Plan strategy promotes economic and job growth in the Borough and provides for new housing to meet the Borough’s needs, as well as land for other activities including retail, sport and leisure. The strategy aims to conserve and improve the character and quality of the environment, an important component of the Borough’s attractiveness to investment and success. 1.1.4 The Plan reflects national and local targets for reducing carbon emissions and contributes to the Council’s agenda of improving the quality of life and health of the residents of Solihull set out in the Sustainable Community Strategy for Solihull. It will be the starting point for the development of Neighbourhood Plans by local communities and for decisions on all new development proposals. 1.1.5 The Plan will replace the saved policies from the current development plan, the Solihull Unitary Development Plan, 2006. 1.2 Content 1.2.1 The Plan includes: 1.2.1 The Plan includes: •A spatial portrait of the Borough, the place Solihull is today and where it has come from (section 2) • The challenges facing Solihull that the Plan can help to address and the objectives for addressing these challenges (Section 3) •A vision of how the Borough will develop as a place to meet the needs of its local residents, businesses and visitors now and in the future (section 4) •A strategy to direct growth in sustainable locations and identify areas of significant change (section 5) • Policy themes (section 6) • Core policies to deliver the spatial strategy (sections 7 - 12) •A monitoring and implementation framework for delivering the Plan (section 13) • Proposed development sites for new employment, housing and other uses (Appendix A) Solihull Local Plan – Shaping a Sustainable Future 4 LDF Sustainable future Nov 2013:Layout 1 25/11/13 13:29 Page 5 1.3 How the Plan was developed 1.3.1 The Plan is founded on: • National and local planning policies, including: o The National Planning Policy Framework o National imperative of economic growth and sustainable development o Evidence prepared for the revision of the West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy o Joint Metropolitan commitment to urban renaissance o Local growth ambitions o Other relevant plans, policies and strategies that relate to the Borough or the wider area • Evidence from a number of studies about the Borough, including o Employment Land Study o Solihull Town Centre Study o Retail Capacity Study o Strategic Housing Market Area and Land Availability Assessments o Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment o Strategic Flood Risk Assessment o Settlement Studies o Characterisation Study o Green Spaces Strategy o Annual Monitoring Reports • Recommendations from appraisals and assessments: o Sustainability Appraisal of the objectives, strategy, policies and sites which highlighted potential conflicts or areas where the plan could be improved, and ensures that the Plan accords with the principles of sustainable development. o Habitat Regulations Assessment of the impact of the strategy and policies on the network of sites of European importance for nature conservation, specifically four Special Areas for Conservation at Cannock Extension Canal, Cannock Chase, Bredon Hill and the Peak District Dales. o Fair Treatment Assessment of the impact of policies on specific groups, as a result of race, gender, disability, age or religion • Involvement of key stakeholders and local communities, including consultation on: o Challenges and Choices o The Core Strategy Issues and Options paper - 2008 o Emerging Core Strategy - 2010 o Draft Local Plan - 2012 1.4 Duty to Cooperate 1.4.1 The Council has a strong and long established record of commitment to joint working with neighbouring authorities and other key stakeholders, initially through its support for regional planning, and subsequently via involvement with cross boundary groups. It has played a key role in regional planning for urban renaissance, transport, the green belt and the environment. Since the demise of the West Midlands Regional Assembly, Solihull has continued its involvement through regional and sub-regional working groups. It has cooperated principally on issues relating to: • Economic growth and employment, including North Solihull regeneration, the Airport, NEC, Jaguar Land Rover, the major business parks and Solihull town centre 5 Solihull Local Plan – Shaping a Sustainable Future LDF Sustainable future Nov 2013:Layout 1 25/11/13 13:29 Page 6 Metropolitan Area Metropolitan Fig. 1 Midlands Fig. West Map of the Solihull Local Plan – Shaping a Sustainable Future 6 LDF Sustainable future Nov 2013:Layout 1 25/11/13 13:29 Page 7 • Housing, and gypsy and traveller accommodation, •Transport, • Climate change and the environment, and • Minerals and waste. This has involved working with different authorities and stakeholders and in different groups and fora depending on the issues. 1.4.2 The Council is actively involved with the Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership, which published a strategic spatial framework plan and planning charter in February 2012. The strategic spatial framework plan identifies the Airport and the NEC as key assets, and highlights the strategic importance of regeneration and growth in North Solihull, the regional investment sites at Birmingham and Blythe Valley business parks, Solihull town centre and potential employment sites in the Borough. All these are reflected in the spatial strategy and Policies P1, P2, P3 and P5 in the Local Plan. The Council is also active with groups relating to Birmingham Airport and the M42 Economic Gateway. 1.4.3 Solihull has worked jointly with other authorities on its Strategic Housing Market Area Assessment and on the Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment.
