INTRODUCTION 1.1 Local Development Plan Wales (2005) paragraph 1.21 states the importance of ensuring that all proposals within the Local Development Plan (LDP) are ‘realistic and likely to be implemented within the Plan Period’ in the interest of avoiding blight. In this respect, all proposals included as land use allocations within the LDP should have sufficient evidence to suggest that they can be delivered within the Plan Period. 1.2 This document sets out the site specific delivery and implementation of the land use allocations contained in the LDP. Each allocation follows a standard pro forma containing basic information, details of which are set out in the following chapter. 3 Delivery and Implementation Background Paper December 2013 2. SITE PRO FORMAS 2.1 A site pro forma has been completed for each allocation within the Plan setting out details of the anticipated delivery and implementation requirements. GENERAL INFORMATION 2.2 The basic site information is provided, including: site name, LDP reference, proposed use, ward, total area (in hectares), site commentary and site plan are provided for each allocation. PHASING 2.3 The LDP sets out the proposed development aspirations for Newport for a 15 year period. The phasing of such development is critical in ensuring that the relevant infrastructure and affects will be considered in a timely manner. The plan led system does not deliver development and the impact from the market is one of many critical factors that cannot be overlooked in the consideration of when and how development will be delivered. The information on phasing is based on the best available information and takes a long term view over the plan period. It is acknowledged that this may change over the Plan Period. 2.4 The allocations have been split into three distinct periods: • Phase 1 – 2011 to 2016 • Phase 2 – 2016 to 2021 • Phase 3 – 2021 to 2026 2.5 Each site outlines the period(s) within which it is anticipated to be delivered. PLANNING STATUS 2.6 Where planning permission has been granted or an application is being considered, this has been noted. If the site does not have planning permission then it has been noted as ‘identified in the LDP’. If the allocation is noted in another plan or strategy then this has also been noted e.g. Regional Transport Plan. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 2.7 The type of planning requirement for a site will differ depending on its location and proposed use. Where constraints are known they have been noted, they include – flood risk, ecology, landscape and environmental health assessments. Where an allocation has planning permission, the requirements are known and have been outlined in the pro forma. For those remaining sites, information has been collated through consultation with statutory and internal sections of the Council. The list is not exhaustive but gives an indication at this point in time. The relevant planning consideration will be clarified at the planning application stage. 4 Delivery and Implementation Background Paper December 2013 INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS 2.8 Each allocation will have some level of infrastructure requirement. Where this is known, or has been agreed, this has been noted. For the remaining allocations, infrastructure requirements have been based on information provided by relevant organisations and internal departments. The list is not exhaustive but gives an indication at this point in time. The required infrastructure for each site will be clarified at the planning application stage. IMPLEMENTATION AND FUNDING SOURCE 2.9 The majority of development sites rely on private sector investment and implementation. Where this is the case, private sector developers are expected to fund essential utilities infrastructure, as outlined in the relevant policies of the LDP. Other sources of funding and implementation lie with the public sector, including the Welsh Government and statutory undertakers. The anticipated source of funding and implementation has been noted for each allocation. 5 Delivery and Implementation Background Paper December 2013 3. JUSTIFICATION AND RATIONALE 3.1 The basis for the allocation differs for each development type i.e. housing, employment etc. An explanation for each source is outlined below. HOUSING 3.2 TAN 1: Joint Housing Land Availability (2006) sets out the national requirement for Local Planning Authorities to undertake an annual Joint Housing Land Availability (JHLAS) survey. Newport’s most up to date published report is for the base date April 2012. During the JHLAS process developer and/or their agents are contacted in order to gain an understanding of the likely timescales involved and any constraints facing the development. This information is set out for consultation to the JHLA study group, members include Home Builders Federation, Welsh Water, Registered Social Landlords, and is also available for public comment as the information is made available on the Council’s website. The consultation responses are considered and are set out in a Statement of Common Ground (SOCG). Where matters of dispute are raised, the LPA mediates and where consensus cannot be arranged it goes to the Planning Inspectorate to consider. For the most recent study (April 2012) there were no outstanding issues of dispute. 3.1 The phasing outlined in this paper has been based on the JHLAS system, due to this being considered as a formal, open and robust evidence base. In addition the Council contacted the landowner or agent for the sites within the Plan in August 2012. Although there was a limited response to this call for information, where it was provided it has been utilised here. 3.2 Table 1 provides a summary of the phasing of development, implementation, funding source and planning status for the housing allocations within the LDP. 3.3 Following the summary table are individual site schedules for each allocation which is anticipated to be delivered within the Plan Period, setting out in detail the proposed site details including planning considerations and infrastructure requirements. 6 Delivery and Implementation Background Paper December 2013 Table 1: Housing Allocation Summary Information LDP Reference Total Phasing of Develop ment Implementation Planning Units and Funding Status in LDP Source 2011-16 2016-21 2021-26 HOUSING COMMITMENTS H1(1) McReadys, Ponthir 54 54 Implemented and Full Planning Rd funded through the Permission private sector(including Section 106) H1(2) Hanbury Garage 12 12 Implemented and Full Planning funded through the Permission private sector (including Section 106) H1(3) Eastern Expansion 1100 350 750 Implemented and Outline Area funded through the Planning private sector (including Permission Section 106) H1(5) Glebelands 153 150 3 Implemented and Full Planning funded through the Permission private sector H1(6) 254 Cromwell Rd 15 15 Implemented and Full Planning funded through the Permission private sector (including Section 106) H1(7) Bethesda Close 22 22 Implemented and Outline funded through the Planning private sector (including Permission Section 106) H1(8) The Severn Stiles 23 23 Implemented and Full Planning funded through the Permission private sector (including Section 106) H1(9) Frobisher Road 10 10 Implemented and Outline funded through the Planning private sector (including Permission Section 106) H1(10) Pencoed Castle 12 12 Implemented and Full Planning funded through the Permission private sector (including Section 106) H1(11) Laburnum Drive 20 20 Implemented and Full Planning funded through the Permission private sector H1(12) Former Tredegar 150 50 100 Implemented and Outline Park Golf Course funded through the Planning private sector Permission H1(13) Allt Yr Yn Campus 125 120 5 Implemented and Full Planning funded through the Permission private sector (including Section 106) H1(14) Monmouthshire 575 150 300 125 Implemented and Full Planning Bank Sidings funded through the Permission private sector (including Section 106) H1(15) Victoria Wharf, Old 130 130 Implemented and Full Planning Town Dock funded through the Permission private sector (including Section 106) H1(16) Penmaen Wharf 160 160 Implemented and Full Planning funded through the Permission private sector (including Section 106) H1(18) Newport Athletic 0 Implemented and Full Planning Club funded through the Permission private sector (including Section 106) H1(19) Hartridge High 65 60 5 Implemented and Outline School funded through
