45 Report to South Downs National Park Authority Date 24 March 2016 Agenda Item 12 Report 9/16 Report to South Downs National Park Authority Date 24 March 2016 By Director of Planning Title of Report Approval of draft West Sussex Joint Minerals Local Plan Purpose of Report To recommend that the Authority approve the draft West Sussex Joint Minerals Local Plan (‘draft JMLP’) for publication and consultation for eight weeks commencing in April in accordance with Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 Recommendation: That the Authority 1) Approves the draft West Sussex Joint Minerals Local Plan (Appendix 1) subject to amendments being made which address the issues raised by the Planning Committee (outlined in Appendix 2) for publication and consultation for eight weeks currently programmed to commence on 14 April in accordance with Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. 2) Delegates to the Director of Planning in consultation with the Authority Chair the authority to determine what amendments should be made in order to address the issues raised by the Planning Committee and authority to make any further minor changes to the draft West Sussex Joint Minerals Local Plan with West Sussex County Council. 1. Introduction 1.1 The South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) are working in partnership with West Sussex County Council (WSCC) to produce a Joint Minerals Local Plan for the county of West Sussex. The current Minerals Local Plan was adopted in 2003 and needs updating. 1.2 Following evidence gathering and informal engagement in 2014 and 2015, the draft Joint Minerals Local Plan (JMLP) has now been prepared. This Report outlines the contents of the draft JMLP, highlighting the key issues of importance for the South Downs National Park (SDNP) and how they are proposed to be addressed by the draft JMLP. 1.3 This report was considered by the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) Planning Committee on 10 March 2016. 2. Background 2.1 Following the adoption of the joint West Sussex Waste Local Plan in February 2014, work has commenced on a joint minerals local plan with WSCC. The West Sussex Joint Minerals Local Plan (JMLP) will set a strategy for mineral development to 2033, safeguard resources, allocate sites considered suitable for the production of minerals, and include a range of land use-specific and generic policies to sustainably manage future mineral development. 2.2 The SDNPA committed to working jointly on minerals and waste plans with WSCC in March 2011. The JMLP will cover all of the county of West Sussex, including the part of the SDNP within West Sussex. 2.3 Informal public engagement was undertaken during 2014 and 2015 on key issues for the JMLP. This included evidence underpinning the Plan, and potential sites for mineral 45 development. Following consideration of the responses received and the results of further technical work, a draft JMLP has been prepared. 2.4 On the 10 March 2016 the SDNPA Planning Committee recommended that the JMLP be approved once an amendment to Policy M7 and a number of minor amendments to the JMLP have been made. These amendments are summarised in Appendix 2. The Committee agreed to delegate the approval of the revised wording to the Director of Planning. 2.5 Following approval by SDNPA and WSCC Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, the draft JMLP will be published for informal public consultation for eight weeks in April/ May 2016 under Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) Regulations 2012. Overview of the Plan 2.6 The draft JMLP is divided into chapters. The Vision and Strategic Objectives are set out in Chapter 2. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 provide the spatial and policy context for the Plan. The strategies for addressing the key minerals are in Chapter 6 and proposed site allocations are in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 contains a suite of development management policies. 2.7 The draft JMLP has been subject to an appraisal of its social, economic and environmental impacts and this is set out in a draft Sustainability Appraisal which will include details of the ‘reasonable alternatives’ considered. The Plan is the outcome of, and supported by, ongoing ‘duty to co-operate’ discussions with relevant authorities, technical evidence on specific topics and detailed site specific assessments. This supporting evidence will be made available with the draft JMLP. Vision and Strategic Objectives 2.8 The Vision for the Plan area to 2033 seeks to conserve and enhance the area for future generations. It recognises the need to minimise the impacts of road transport of minerals on local communities. The Vision recognises the importance of a continuing supply of minerals, and aggregates in particular, for economic growth. It also aspires to source more and more minerals from alternatives to indigenous extraction, and from areas outside the SDNP and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). 2.9 The Vision includes safeguarding the supply of minerals from ports and railheads, as well as safeguarding important minerals such as soft and silica sand for future generations. It recognises the need to protect the historic and natural environment and contribute to a low carbon, circular economy. 2.10 The Vision seeks to ensure that locally distinctive building stone and bricks can continue to be sourced. Importantly, the Vision seeks to ensure that mineral sites are restored to a high standard which provides opportunities for green infrastructure provision and habitat creation, as well as responsible tourism. 2.11 The Strategic Objectives are the actions needed for the vision to become reality. Strategic Objective 3 (Soft and Silica Sand) outlines the aim to meet the need for soft sand from outside the SDNP, where possible; and to only make provision for a declining amount of extraction within the SDNP over the plan period. Objective 4 aims to protect the SDNP by only providing for silica sand in exceptional circumstances and when in the public interest. 2.12 Strategic Objective 12 relates to oil and gas development and the need to ensure that the environment and communities are protected from any unacceptable impacts. The other Strategic Objectives cover: minerals production, recycled and secondary aggregates, safeguarding infrastructure and resources, health and amenity, landscape and townscape character, natural and historic environment, flood risk and water resources, transport, mitigation and restoration and climate change. Strategic Minerals Supply Aggregates 2.13 Aggregates include both sharp sand and gravel and soft sand. The future need for each type of aggregate is determined locally, using past sales figures and other local information (such 46 as future house building) to calculate future demand, and is set out the Assessment of Need for Aggregates (also called a Local Aggregates Assessment or LAA). 2.14 Sharp sand and gravel is sourced from quarries (‘land-won’) and from the sea (‘marine aggregate’). There is currently (as at 2015) a stock of permitted reserves that will last 35 years. This means that there is no requirement to plan for additional land-won sharp sand and gravel through the allocation of sites. The strategy is to safeguard existing permitted reserves and to make provision for additional reserves only if needs cannot be met from other sources of supply, such as marine aggregates. Policy M1 provides a criteria based policy for sharp sand and gravel which would be used in the event that any proposals came forward. 2.15 Soft sand can only be sourced from quarries and therefore there are no viable alternative sources of supply or replacement materials. Demand for soft sand may be as high as 423,000 tonnes per annum, which means that current reserves will last 7 years. This is not sufficient to meet demand up to 2033. However, it is not considered that there are exceptional circumstances or that it is in the public interest to allocate any extensions or new sites for soft sand within the SDNP. 2.16 The Plan will rely on existing reserves, a new site allocation beyond the SDNP at Ham Farm1 (see Policy M12), and increasing levels of imports from other areas, in order to facilitate a ‘managed retreat’ from working soft sand within the SDNP. This strategy accords with national policy as it will conserve the landscape and scenic beauty of the National Park. Policy M2 provides a criteria based policy for soft sand which would be used in the event that any proposals came forward. 2.17 Provision is made in the plan for a continuing supply of imported marine won aggregates and crushed rock through the safeguarding of wharf capacity at Shoreham Port, Littlehampton Port, and railheads at Chichester, Crawley and Ardingly (see Policy M10). Industrial minerals 2.18 The strategy for silica sand2, which is a national important industrial mineral, which occurs in the upper reaches of the Lower Greensand formation in West Sussex, is to includes a criteria based policy against which any proposals can be considered (Policy M3). This accords with national policy as, at present, evidence shows that adequate provision for silica sand is being made nationally and there is no requirement for West Sussex to meet any identified shortfall from elsewhere. 2.19 The evidence shows that there is no need to apply the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requirement to maintain a 10-15 year landbank for individual silica sand sites for any existing sites, as the proportion of sand sold for industrial uses from these sites is small. 2.20 The strategy for clay is to allocate an extension to West Hoathly brickworks to maintain a 25 year supply of clay to the brickworks (see Policy M11) and allow extensions, or new sites, if existing supplies are exhausted or if a particular source of clay is required to enable appropriate blends to be made.

  • Harbour Villages Ward - Liberal Democrats Campaign Team Chichester Local Plan Review 2035 Submissions
    Harbour Villages Ward - Liberal Democrats Campaign Team Chichester Local plan Review 2035 Submissions Our Observations We wish to be called at the time of the Planning Inspection. This plan appears to have been created in a short time and therefore lacks cohesion. Information used in one area is different to that elsewhere. Points made for: Apuldram/Donnington/Bosham/Chidham/Hambrook/Fishbourne make it appear that they have been written in silos. Can you please look at each one and try and line the reasoning up. Our fear is that this document needs significant change for it to be fit and proper and presentable to the Inspector. 3.1 to 3.2 It is our view that an opportunity has been missed to: 1. Look at new opportunities to develop away from existing settlements 2. Look at innovative solution to develop new dwellings. There is no provision for a. Kit built small homes b. Eco style properties built in a rural environment 3. Choose CDC identified sites rather than be lead by developers 3.4 The plan does insufficient to encourage students or young people to come to Chichester or for them to remain to develop careers. In the report “Know your Place” by BBC Chichester scored very badly. Going out and sports facilities scored zero. Busses scored one. 3.5 We do not accept that the wider plan has taken into account the wider range of environmental aspirations. The size and scope of planned development along the East West corridor damages the environment and fails to enhance the social aspirations of the communities.
