It provides a final opportunity for individuals and organisations to comment on the document before it is submitted to the Government for examination. Figure A indicates the previous stages of public consultation on the Local Plan Allocations Document and the stages that will need to be completed following Publication of the document. Figure A Allocations Document preparation process The Secretary of State will appoint an independent planning inspector to carry out an Examination in Public of the Local Plan and consider any comments made to this document. If you submit a comment you will be kept informed of the process and any opportunities to be involved in the Examination. Comments made at Proposed Submission stage should only be made in relation to the issues that will be examined by the independent planning inspector. The role of the inspector is to assess whether the Local Plan has been prepared in accordance with the duty to cooperate, legal and procedural requirements and it is a sound planning document. Duty to Cooperate - the Council has a duty to co-operate on planning issues that cross into neighbouring areas. This includes working collaboratively with neighbouring councils and other public bodies to ensure that strategic priorities across local boundaries are properly co-ordinated and clearly reflected through the Local Plan. East Riding of Yorkshire Council 5 Publication Allocations Document Cabinet Version 03/12/2013 Legal and procedural compliance - the Local Plan will be checked to ensure it is legally compliant and has: been prepared in accordance with the Council's Local Development Scheme (2013) and in general compliance with the Statement of Community Involvement (2013); been subject to a Sustainability Appraisal; had regard to national policy; and had regard to the East Riding Sustainable Community Plan – Our East Riding (2013 update). Soundness - to be found sound a Local Plan must be: Positively prepared – the Plan should be prepared based on a strategy which seeks to meet objectively assessed development and infrastructure requirements, including unmet requirements from neighbouring authorities where it is reasonable to do so and consistent with achieving sustainable development; Justified – the Plan should be the most appropriate strategy, when considered against the reasonable alternatives, based on proportionate evidence; Effective – the Plan should be deliverable over its period and based on effective joint working on cross-boundary strategic priorities; and Consistent with national policy – the Plan should enable to delivery of sustainable development in accordance with the policies in the National Planning Policy Framework (2012) (NPPF). If your comment relates to the way the Council has prepared the Local Plan it is likely to be a matter of legal and procedural compliance. Comments concerned with the actual content of the Local Plan are likely to be concerned with the soundness of the Plan. 6 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Publication Allocations Document Cabinet Version 03/12/2013 How do I get involved? You can read this document in libraries, Customer Service Centres and on our website. You may also request a hard copy (for which we have to make a charge to cover printing and postage costs) or a free copy on CD by contacting us by telephone or email. Your consultation response must state why you consider the Local Plan is either not legally/ procedurally compliant or is unsound. You should also indicate any changes that would need to be made to the document. This can be set out using the consultation response form that is available alongside this document. The period in which comments can be made runs until (date to be confirmed) 2014. Address: Forward Planning East Riding of Yorkshire Council County Hall Beverley HU17 9BA Telephone: 01482 391739 Email: [email protected] Website: http://consult.eastriding.gov.uk/portal/ Please note that all responses will be published on the Council’s website, and will be open for viewing by members of the public. You should, therefore, refrain from making any comments that could be considered as defamatory or prejudicial as this could result in action being taken against you. The Council can take no responsibility for any comments made in planning responses, but we will investigate any potentially defamatory or prejudicial comments brought to our notice. Comments that the Council consider to be defamatory or prejudicial will be removed, and will not be taken into account in the planning decision. What happens next? The Inspector will decide if the Local Plan has been prepared in accordance with the Duty to Cooperate, legal and procedural requirements and whether it is sound. Where relevant the Council may ask the inspector to recommend changes to the document to address an issue of soundness. Only once the document has been found ‘sound’ can it be adopted by the Council as part of the development plan used to determine planning applications. East Riding of Yorkshire Council 7 Publication Allocations Document Cabinet Version 03/12/2013 1 Introduction The East Riding Local Plan 1.1 The East Riding Local Plan is the name for the portfolio of planning documents, that together provide the framework for managing development and addressing key planning issues in the East Riding. Once individual documents are adopted they will be used to guide investment decisions and determine planning applications. 1.2 A number of documents make up the Local Plan. These are listed below and illustrated by Figure 1. Strategy Document– sets the overall strategic direction for the Local Plan, setting policies to guide decisions on planning applications. Allocations Document – allocates sites for development (such as housing, retail, or industry) or protection (such as open space or land for transport schemes). Bridlington Town Centre Area Action Plan (AAP) – provides specific policies to guide development and contribute to the urban renaissance of Bridlington Town Centre. 1.3 In addition, a Joint Waste Plan and Joint Minerals Plan are being prepared with Hull City Council. These will set out the policies used to provide for future waste management needs and mineral extraction, and will be used to make decisions on new waste and minerals development in the East Riding. 1.4 The documents listed above are complemented by a Policies Map. It will show designations, such as areas of open space or biodiversity assets, and allocations for particular land use(s), which relate to specific policies in the Local Plan. 1.5 Once complete, the Local Plan will replace previous planning policies that cover the East Riding. These are set out in the Joint Structure Plan for Hull and the East Riding, the four Local Plans for the former boroughs of Beverley, Boothferry, East Yorkshire and Holderness, and the Joint Minerals and Waste Local Plans. Appendix A lists those policies that are superseded by the Allocations Document. Other documents 1.6 The Local Plan will be supported by Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) that add further guidance to the interpretation and delivery of policies within other documents. These are not subject to independent testing and do not have 'Development Plan' status. 1.7 The Council's Local Development Scheme (LDS) provides an outline of the various Local Plan documents and a timescale for their preparation. The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) sets out performance against local indicators and targets from the Local Plan and the Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) outlines how the Council will involve the local community, stakeholders and statutory bodies in the preparation of the Local Plan. 8 East Riding of Yorkshire Council Publication Allocations Document Cabinet Version 03/12/2013 1.8 A Town or Parish Council can prepare a community-led Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) to set out a vision and planning policies that are specific to their neighbourhood area.
