Executive S um m a r y The Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan (CSUCP) was examined in public by an independent Planning Inspector in hearings sessions held during June, July and October 2014 to assess whether:

1. the Plan has been prepared in accordance with the duty to cooperate, legal and procedural requirements as set out in 2012 by the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 and

2. it is sound namely that it is positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent with national policy.

During the hearings, a number of modifications to the Plan were proposed to ensure the Plan is sound. The proposed modifications were subject to consultation for 7 weeks from 17 November until 4 January 2015 and representations were considered by the Planning Inspector. The Inspector’s Final report was received by the Council on 24 February 2015. The Inspector’s Report concluded the Plan satisfies the criteria of soundness in the National Planning Policy Framework subject to a number of main modifications. The CSUCP was adopted by Newcastle Council in March 2015. This Annual Monitoring Report covers the period from April 2014 to March 2015. Progress in preparing Newcastle upon Tyne’s Local Plan Newcastle Development Plan Newcastle statutory development plan or Local Plan currently comprises of the following document;

Planning for the Future Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan (2015) (CSUCP) Unitary Development Plan (1998) (UDP) – Saved policies Walker Riverside Area Action Plan (2007) (WRAAP) – Saved policies Benwell Scotswood Area Action Plan (2009) (BSAAP) – Saved policies Newcastle policies map which includes all designations/allocations

All local authorities are required to produce a Local Plan. The Local Plan sets out how we will plan the future development of Newcastle. The City Council is progressing with the preparation of a two Part Local Plan covering the whole of the City Council's area. The Newcastle Local Plan comprises the following Local Development Documents (LDDs) See also Figure 1: Part 1 - The Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan (CSUCP) - adopted by Newcastle Council on 26 March 2015. Part 2 - Part two will be the Development and Allocations Local Development Document (DALDD). This document will include detailed development management policies and allocate and designate land. Upon adoption the DALDD this will replace the Unitary Development Plan (1998), Walker Riverside Area Action Plan (2007) and Benwell Scotsood Area Action Plan (2009). As illustrated in Figure 1.

Effectiveness of Planning Policies Each year the AMR reports on a range of indicators and whether specified targets have been met. Both Gateshead and Newcastle Councils have recently adopted the CSUCPin March 2015 which is at the end of the monitoring period. Therefore, the AMR will report on the implementation of existing saved policies from the UDP from April 2014-March 2015. Subsequent AMRs will be aligned to Newcastle’s Local Plan, which will include the CSUCP. For the purposes of this report the topic headings are linked to the Local Plan topic heading, including economy, housing and population, people and place, transport and accessibility and minerals and waste. The AMR has reviewed progress from 2014 to 2015 which indicates that: Economy 12,152 sq m of floorspace (sq m) for employment has been developed.

Walker Riverside has seen two significant take-ups linked to the Low Carbon

Enterprise Zone.

98.87 ha of employment land is available in the emerging employment land portfolio.

Leisure, culture and tourism remain key growth sectors. Budget gyms have been a particular growth area. Three new hotels have also opened in the City.

Newcastle City Centre remains a strong retailing destination. The redevelopment of

Eldon Square has continued and 21 new catering units - though this has temporarily increased the number of vacant units in the Core Shopping Area.

Vacancy levels in the great majority District Centre has improved since the last

monitoring period. Population and Housing Excluding student housing, the build rate in 2014/15 was 810 gross completions. This

equates to a net gain of 747 dwellings when allowance is made for the loss of 63 dwellings through conversions and demolitions.

In 2014/15 a total of 289 affordable homes were completed in the City.

During 2014/15 654 student units have been completed equating to 1118 bedspaces.

People and Place In 2014 mean nitrogen dioxide levels within the City Centre AQMA achieved 40µg/m3.

This is the fifth year in a row that nitrogen dioxide levels have shown a decrease in the City Centre AQMA.


The mean nitrogen dioxide level for the Gosforth AQMA fell in 2014 to 31µg/m3

continuing the downward trend for the seventh year in a row. Killingworth Road and Station Road levels fell slightly but continue to be of concern giving mean nitrogen dioxide levels of 39µg/m3 and 33µg/m3 respectively.

There has been no loss of designated heritage assets and no deliberate damage has been recorded.

1 entry was removed from 2014 English Heritage at Risk List, (Sallyport Tower, Tower

Street) but 6 were added.

Newcastle now has 26 Local Wildlife Sites, though these are due to be reviewed in 2016. There are also 35 Sites of Local Conservation Interest based on new designation criteria and a review undertaken in 2014.

The revised Green Belt Boundary has been established in the Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan. The remaining Green Belt will be protected in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.

There are currently 3 parks that have achieved Green Flag status:

• Heaton Park, Jesmond Vale Lane (NE6 5JS) • Jesmond Dene, Red Walk (NE7 7BQ) • King's Campus (Newcastle University)

Transport and Accessibility

The Transport Plan for the North East Combined Authority will be completed by autumn

2016. The Local Growth Deal has secured funding for improvements at junctions on Cow Hill, Kenton Road-Grandstand Road, at Blue House, Osborne Road, and the Haddricks Mill roundabouts at South Gosforth. Full business cases are being developed for the above schemes.

Minerals and Waste

No new waste management facilities were built in 2014/15.

138,490 tonnes of municipal waste in 2014/15 were recorded.


1. Introduction 1.1 Section 113 of the Localism Act 2011 establishes the requirement for each local

planning authority to prepare a monitoring report each year, while Regulation 34 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 identifies the information they should contain. The main purpose of Newcastle’s Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) is to set out information on the implementation of the Council’s Local Development Scheme (LDS) and to review the progress and effectiveness of existing policies. Newcastle Monitoring Framework

1.2 Comprehensive monitoring is essential in order to establish whether the Council is

succeeding in promoting and managing the future development of Newcastle. This is the tenth Annual Monitoring report to be adopted by Newcastle City Council under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004), and covers the period April 2014 to March 2015. The Structure of Newcastle AMR

1.3 The content and structure of the report is in accordance with relevant regulations. 1.4 The first part of this report considers the council’s current progress on and future

programme for producing policy documents. The next section represents the main body of the report and sets out the findings of the monitoring work and provides an analysis of the results against a series of indicators. The information is provided by topic area, which corresponds with the chapters in the CSUCP under the following headings: Economy - Chapter 4 Housing and Population – Chapter 5 People and Place – Chapter 6 Transport and Accessibility – Chapter 7 Minerals and Waste – Chapter 8

Future AMR’s

1.5 The monitoring of plans and policies is an iterative process. The monitoring

framework will continue to develop as work progresses on the preparation of the Newcastle Local Plan. Subsequent AMRs will contain objectives, indicators and targets derived from the CSUCP and Development and Allocations LDD and from the Sustainability Appraisals of these documents.


2. Progress in preparing the planning policy framework

National and Regional Policy Context

2.1 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004), the Planning Act (2008), the

Localism Act (2011) and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), supported by the Local Planning Regulations 2012 set out the current requirements for plan making by local authorities.

Progress of preparing the Newcastle Local Plan against Local Development Scheme

2.2 This section of the AMR assesses progress in preparing the Council’s Local Plan.

Newcastle’s Local Development Scheme (LDS) Newcastle adopted a revised LDS in November 2015: http://www.newcastle.gov.uk/planning-and-buildings/planning-policy/local-development-scheme

2.3 The NPPF requires Local Planning Authorities to produce a Local Plan for their area which can be reviewed in whole or in part to respond flexibly to changing circumstances. Any additional development plan documents should only be used where clearly justified. Supplementary Planning Documents should only be used where they can help applicants make successful applications or aid infrastructure delivery, and should not be used to add unnecessarily to the financial burdens on development.

2.4 Newcastle statutory development plan or Local Plan currently comprises of the following document;

Planning for the Future Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan (2015) (CSUCP) Unitary Development Plan (1998) (UDP) – Saved policies Walker Riverside Area Action Plan (2007) (WRAAP) – Saved policies Benwell Scotswood Area Action Plan (2009) (BSAAP) – Saved policies Newcastle policies map which includes all designations/allocations

2.5 The council is progressing with the preparation of a two Part Local Plan covering the

whole of the City Council's area. Part one of the Local Plan is the Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan which was adopted March 2015.

2.6 Part two will be the Development and Allocations Local Development Plan (DALDD).

This document will include detailed development management policies and allocate and designate land. Upon adoption the DALDD this will replace the Unitary Development Plan (1998), Walker Riverside Area Action Plan (2007) and Benwell Scotswood Area Action Plan (2009). As illustrated in Figure 3.

Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan 2.7 The Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan (CSUCP) was examined in public by an

independent Planning Inspector in hearings sessions held in June, July and October 2014 to assess whether the Plan has been prepared in accordance with the duty to cooperate, legal and procedural requirements as set out in 2012 by the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 and whether it is sound namely that it is positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent with national policy. During the hearings, a number of modifications to the Plan were proposed to ensure the Plan is sound. The proposed modifications were subject to consultation for 7 weeks from 17 November until 4 January 2015 and representations were considered by the Planning Inspector. The Inspector’s Report concludes the Plan satisfies the criteria of soundness in the National Planning Policy Framework subject to a number of main modifications.

2.8 The CSUCP was adopted in March 2015.


2.9 The Development and Allocations LDD will allocate land for new development,

designate land for protection and contain development management policies that will be used to determine whether planning applications submitted to the Council should be granted. An Allocations Map showing the allocations on an ordnance survey base will also be part of this document.

Benwell Scotswood Area Action Plan

2.10 The Area Action Plan was adopted in 2009. Work to deliver the Scotswood

Development Area (SDA) is progressing with development of residential units by Barratt Homes and Keepmoat for sale, as well as a number of affordable units which are being provided by Thirteen Group. Development of the first phase is well underway with 56 units complete, approximately 150 sales and over 100 residents who had moved into the development by the end of October 2015. It is expected that the entire first phase of 377 homes will be completed by July 2017. Detailed design of Phase 2 and the new Neighbourhood Centre will commence early next year.

Walker Riverside Area Action Plan

2.11 The Area Action Plan was adopted in 2007. Places for People completed work on

Riversgate (Phase 2) in March 2014 providing 39 units for affordable rent, and are now working towards the next site which has drawn down under their Strategic Partnership Agreement with the Council, Chalfont Road. They are currently in discussion with the Council regarding this site and moving towards a planning application. Their aim is to start on site with development of approximately 40 units in summer 2016.

2.12 Gleeson were selected as the preferred developer of 40 units at Phase 3 of Hibernia

Village. They started development on site in summer 2014 and development is progressing well. At the end of Quarter 2 in 2015/16 there were 25 units completed.


2.13 The Council has assembled land at Chalfont Road in Walker. A large, underused

allotment site has been cleared to provide a future residential development opportunity.

2.14 The residential development for YHN for older people at Walker Central is on site.

The first phase – a 75 unit Assisted Living Scheme is now on site and progressing on programme for completion in October 2016. Contractors Wates Living are also building out Phase 2 , a mixed scheme of 36 apartments and 8 bungalows also for residents aged 55+, which is programmed to complete in July 2016. Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)

2.15 The Council currently has 18 adopted SPDs. SPDs can be used as a vehicle to aid in the successful delivery of development or infrastructure, they do not need to be listed in a local authority's Local Development Scheme, so can be brought forward as circumstances change. In addition to those existing SPD, it is also intended that a series of new SPD will be prepared. These will include:

Hot food Takeaway SPD – adoption spring 2016 Developer Contributions SPD - adoption expect early 2016 The Council is also updating its Maintaining Sustainable Communities SPD.

It is intended that this document will be adopted in 2016

2.16 Existing adopted SPDs will also need to be reviewed in light of policy changes in the emerging Local Plan and through the review of the CIL Charging Schedule. The Council intends to review the Maintaining Sustainable Communities SPD to ensure its compliancy with the Local Plan.

Saving of UDP policies

2.17 The provisions of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 allows for

existing statutory plans and accompanying Supplementary Planning Guidance documents ‘to be saved’ until replaced by new documents. Following the adoption of the CSUCP, the UDP, BSAAP and WRAAP were reviewed and a number of policies were deleted. The Council has published the Newcastle Development Document which sets out all of the saved policies in Newcastle Development Plan.1

Statement of Community Involvement

2.18 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires the Council to produce a

Statement of Community Involvement (SCI). This document was originally adopted in 2006 and was refreshed in April 2013. The SCI sets out how the Council intends to continuously engage and consult with local and statutory stakeholders in the preparation of Local Plan Documents and the processes involved. The SCI will be reviewed and updated as required. The latest SCI can be found in the 'Statement of Community Involvement' webpage.

Duty to Co-operate 2.19 The Localism Act 2012 brought in the requirement for Local Authorities and other

public bodies to work together to address cross-boundary issues, particularly those relating to strategic priorities. These strategic priorities relate to planning for new homes and jobs; the provision of retail, leisure and other commercial development; the provision of infrastructure such as transport and utilities; the provision of health, security, community and cultural infrastructure; and climate change mitigation and adaptation, conservation and enhancement of the natural and historic environment, including landscape. The council continues to work with its neighbours to address strategic planning issues.

Community Infrastructure Levy

2.20 The Community Infrastructure Levy was introduced by the Planning Act 2008 and

came into force on 6 April 2010 through the CIL regulations 2010, as amended. CIL allows local authorities to introduce a new charge on development and the money raised from this will be used to help fund a wide range of infrastructure to support development. The Council consulted on their Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule in summer 2012 and spring 2015 which sets out the proposed charging rates for certain types of development in Newcastle. The Council has prepared and consulted on their Draft Charging Schedule from 26 October to 6 December 2015 before submitting for an examination in public. The Council expects to adopt CIL in 2016.

Neighbourhood Plans

2.21 The Localism Act 2011 introduced the potential for neighbourhood planning through

the preparation of Neighbourhood Development Plans and Neighbourhood Development Orders by a formally recognised local group. Any Neighbourhood Development Plan will need to be in general conformity with the National Planning Policy Framework and strategic planning policy of the local authority. It will also be subject to an independent examination and a referendum before it is formally adopted as a statutory planning policy document by the City Council.

2.22 The first step in preparing a neighbourhood plan is to designate the 'Neighbourhood

Area' for the plan and (in non-parished areas) set up a 'Neighbourhood Forum' to prepare the plan. Three Neighbourhood Areas and one Forum have been designated in the City, these being: 1. Dinnington Parish Neighbourhood Area (approved December 2013) 2. Woolsington Parish Neighbourhood Area (approved July 2014). 3. Kingston Park Neighbourhood Area and Neighbourhood Forum (approved

October 2015).

Evidence Base 2.23 The Council is continuing to develop evidence to support the production of the next

phase of the Local Plan – the Development and Allocations Local Development Document (DALDD). The Following Studies will be prepared:


Newcastle Health Check Report Update. District Centres Retail Frontage Designations. Retail Centre Boundaries Review. Retail Impact Assessment Requirement.

NewcastleGateshead Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA).

Newcastle Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment

Draft Joint Local Aggregate Assessment for County Durham, Northumberland

and Tyne and Wear.

2.24 Figure 4 below summarises the progress of the Local Development Documents

(LDDs) in Newcastle’s Local Plan, and the extent to which they have progressed in relation to the targets set out in the revised Local Development Scheme, which was published in November 2015. The preparation of the Development and Allocations LDD will be reviewed as part of future updates of the LDS as the DALDD progresses.

3. Effectiveness of Planning Policies 3.1 This chapter forms the body of the monitoring report, focusing on assessing the

implementation of the city’s adopted planning policies. A set of indicators (Figure 5) are used to assess the progress of meeting the policy targets as well as policy effectiveness. In the interest of keeping this document short and interesting, not all indicators will be reported on each year, and instead a selection will be chosen that highlight interesting facts or show important trends.

4. Economy

Employment development during 2014-15

4.1 Take up during the last quarter of 2014 and first quarter of 2015 was buoyant. In terms of demand, Professional services and Media Tech sectors were increasingly active and likely to drive take-up levels over the remainder of 2015. Consequently, available stock has further been absorbed and city centre Grade A availability is now limited. This will be partially be eased by the completion of the Rocket at Stephenson Quarter. Prime rents remained stable at £21.50.

relatively modest, the largest office development being at Kings Horse, Forth Banks.

Emerging Land Availability

4.3 The Employment Land Review (ELR) identifies a number of employment sites which should be retained and protected for employment use. These locations are appropriate to develop and provide suitable accommodation for existing and new businesses. Figure 8 provides a break-down of the employment land available by type.

Figure 8 Indicator EC2 Employment Land Availability by type, ELR 2014. Note: These figures are based on the emerging employment land portfolio of sites identified as actually or potentially available for employment uses.

Prospects for the Future 4.4 Economic growth is expected to be slow in the short term following the recession,

however, the medium to longer term economic outlook is more positive. The ELR includes a delivery strategy setting out short/medium and long term delivery of the employment land sites.

4.5 The Accelerated Development Zone (ADZ) will help delivery of the Urban Core sites. Walker Riverside delivery will be facilitated by the Low Carbon Enterprise Zone. An Enterprise Zone at the Airport will assist with delivery. Further employment sites will be delivered predominantly by bespoke private sector development, supported by available public sector funding. The Council will seek to target appropriate public sector resources through implementation of the Council’s Corporate Plans, City Deal: ADZ, making the best use of Council assets, working with the LA7 and the creation of the North East Combined Authority (NECA) to enable delivery. Leisure, Culture and Tourism

4.6 The popularity of health clubs, gyms and other fitness centres continues with two new gyms opening between April 2014 and March 2015. Speedflex in the Fleming Business Centre, Jesmond is a new training concept using speedflex machines for circuit training led by a personal trainer. Budget gyms are a particular growth area. Pure Gym, a national low cost operator, has opened on Saint James Boulevard providing 1,598 square metres of floorspace. The gym is intended to cater for the student population and workers and residents living in the city centre.

4.7 The monitoring year has also seen three new hotels open. Tune Hotel, Proctor House, Side has seen the re-use of a Grade II listed building within the Central Conservation Area. The building had been vacant for many years and is now a 104-bed hotel. Baron House, Neville Street, a former office block has been converted into a Hampton by Hilton hotel providing 160 bedrooms. The unlisted 1970s concrete former office block building is also in the Central Conservation Area,


opposite Central Station, the main public transport hub of the city centre. Notification of a prior approval for a change of use from offices to apartments at 89-91 Jesmond Road has seen the development of 1017 square metres Apart Hotel. The development comprises 16 serviced apartments and studios. The building is within the South Jesmond Conservation Area.

Retail

4.8 Within the City Centre, the redevelopment of Eldon Square continues with £17

million investment in the new restaurant quarter, which will provide 21 new catering units within the current Sidgate and High Friars Malls.

4.10 Outside of the City Centre, retail development has been limited to convenience

goods retailing. Lidl has opened its new larger store on Shields Road on the edge of Shields Road at Walkergate local centre. The new store comprises 1,286 square metres of retail (A1) floorspace. Marks and Spencer’s Simply Food Convenience Store in Gosforth began trading December 2014. Planning permission has also been granted for a 1,532 square metres Aldi food store which will provide an anchor store for the Walker Road local centre.

5 Housing and Population

Population 5.1 The Office of National Statistics (ONS) published 2014 mid-year population

estimate in June 2015. The population of Newcastle in mid-2014 was estimated at 289,835, which is an increase of 3,014 people from the 2013 mid-year estimates.

5.2 The Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan which was adopted in March 2015 is underpinned by the ONS 2011-based interim SNPPS. These projection have been extended to cover the plan period between 2010 and 2030. The Council commissioned St Chads to prepare a bespoke demographic projections model. The model forecasts that Newcastle’s population will increase from 276,700 in 2010 to 312,900 by 2030.

5.4 Annual Monitoring Reports are to contain a ‘housing trajectory’ as a forward

planning tool designed to support the ‘plan, monitor and manage’ approach to housing delivery. The housing trajectory included in this Annual Monitoring Report shows the scale of the increase in the build rate required to meet the overall housing delivery target for Newcastle. Government requires us to show future housing completions not as a simple yearly average but as a meaningful reflection of how housing is expected to come forward. Newcastle housing trajectory is illustrated in Appendix 2.

Affordable Housing 5.5 Policy CS11 requires the need for all development of 15 or more dwellings should

provide 15% affordable homes and the need to deliver 150 affordable homes a year in Newcastle. In 2014-15 a total of 289 (gross) affordable homes were completed in Newcastle – as shown in the following table (Figure 18). This is above the target in the CSUCP.

Student Housing 5.6 The universities and further education college are a vital part of the economy of the

city and the student accommodation offer is an important part of ensuring that the city remains an attractive location where students want to come and study. In order to manage the growth of shared housing across the city the Council, in 2011 approved the Maintaining Sustainable Communities SPD. This document includes a policy on the development of houses in multiple occupation and other forms of shared accommodation and factors to be considered when determining planning application relating to this type of development, including purpose-built student accommodation.

5.7 Since 2011, the student housing market has continued to experience substantial growth. During 2014/15, 663 student units have been completed equating to 1150 new bedspaces.

Five Year Land Supply 5.8 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the Planning Practice

Guidance (PPG) seek to underpin the Government’s step change in housing delivery through a more responsive approach to land supply at the local level. As a Local Planning Authority, Newcastle City Council are required to identify and maintain a rolling five year supply of deliverable housing land, to ensure the continued supply of homes in the area.

5.9 The Council has prepared an interim Five Year Land Supply Report which covers the five year period from 1st October 2015 to 31st September 2020 (Appendix 2). This report sets out how Newcastle City Council has met its requirements and can demonstrated a five year supply of land for housing. The report takes into account the NPPF requirement for an additional 20% allowance on the five year land supply to create competition and choice in land supply, and the requirement to consider meeting any past shortfall in completion rates. The report concludes that the council has a five year land supply.

6. People and Place

Health and Wellbeing

Air Quality 6.1 Newcastle has two Air Quality Action Plans which show how we tackle problems

with the two air quality management areas (AQMAs) in Newcastle. City Centre AQMA Action Plan Gosforth AQMA Action Plan

6.2 These action plans set out measures we want to put in place to improve air quality

to meet standards set in the National Air Quality Strategy. Our Plan includes a number of measures for example working with bus operators to accelerate the use of cleaner buses and freight consolidation facilities for the City Centre/Eldon Square Shopping Centre.

6.3 In 2014 mean nitrogen dioxide levels within the City Centre AQMA achieved

40μg/m3. This is the fifth year in a row that nitrogen dioxide levels have shown a decrease in the City Centre AQMA. However, several streets within the City Centre, for example, Blackett Street (50μg/m3), Pilgrim Street (52μg/m3) and Percy Street (44μg/m3) continue to show high mean nitrogen dioxide levels with the highest being Mosley Street with 62μg/m3.

6.4 The mean nitrogen dioxide level for the Gosforth AQMA fell again in 2014 to

31μg/m3 continuing the downward trend for the seventh year in a row. Killingworth Road and Station Road levels fell slightly but continue to be of concern giving mean nitrogen dioxide levels of 39μg/m3 and 33μg/m3 respectively.

6.5 Monitoring outside the AQMAs does not show there to have been any breaches of the nitrogen dioxide limit values in 2013. The highest levels recorded were at West Copperas Lane (32μg/m3) and Birchfield Gardens (36μg/m3) close to the A1 were vehicles accelerate out of the valley through Denton.

6.6 Figure 20 shows the average nitrogen dioxide levels from 2008 to 2013 with the downward trend set to continue over the next few years.


Figure 20 PP1 NO2 Results 2008 to 2013 (Trend to 2017

6.7 The Council will continue to take a proactive approach to dealing with air pollution

and have recently been involved with a third successful bid for funding from the Department of Transport. The funding will allow a further 40 buses which travel through some of the City’s most polluted streets to be retrofitted with equipment which greatly improves their emissions to atmosphere.

Promoting Place making

6.8 Our built environment is what gives Newcastle its special identity. We need to

protect what we value, including the countryside and historic environment and improve, where needed the less positive aspects.

6.9 Quality design is encouraged through regular Significant Buildings and Housing Scheme Audits and the biennial Lord Major’s Design Awards.

Heritage 6.10 Our heritage, including the historic environment is an important element of local

characteristic and can contribute positively to creating a stronger sense of place. Heritage assets can also be enjoyed for their contribution to the quality of life.

6.11 There has been no loss of designated heritage assets and no deliberate damage

has been recorded. 6.12 1 entry was removed from 2014 English Heritage at Risk List, (Sallyport Tower,

Tower Street) and 6 were added (Presbytery attached to St Michael's church, Westmorland Road; Church of St Thomas the Martyr, Barras Bridge; Church of St

Climate Change 6.13 Newcastle City Council is committed to working with residents and partners to

reduce the city’s carbon emissions by 34% (from 1990 levels) by 2020. The City is also committed to delivering a reduction in carbon emissions in excess of 20% by 2020 of citywide emissions, using a 2005 baseline, by signing the EU ‘Covenant of Mayors’ agreement. This commitment is acknowledged by the Local Plan with policies to ensure that development will contribute to these aims. Detailed policies will be included in our Development and Allocations DPD.

Green Infrastructure and the natural environment 6.14 Progress on the new Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) is being recorded on the

Biodiversity Action Reporting System (BARS); this is a web based information system. It is developed and supported by UK partnership between DEFRA, the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, Natural England, the Countryside Council for Wales, Scottish Natural Heritage, Northern Ireland Environment Agency, the Environment Agency, the Wales Biodiversity Partnership and the National Biodiversity Network Trust.

6.15 Newcastle has 26 Local Wildlife Sites (LWS), however all sites are due to be

reviewed in 2016 and designations considered by the Local Wildlife Sites Partnership.

6.16 There are also 35 Sites of Local Conservation Interest (SLCI). New SLCI

designation criteria was produced and the sites were reviewed in 2014.

Indicators:

PP6 - Change in areas of biodiversity importance Sixty Five percent of Newcastle’s Local Wildlife Sites (LWS) are under positive

management for 2014 -2015.

Green Belt and countryside 6.17 The revised Green Belt Boundary has been established in the Core Strategy and

Urban Core Plan. The remaining Green Belt will be protected in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.

Indicators:

PP7 - Green Belt additions and deletions

The revised Green Belt established in the Core Strategy and Urban Core

Plan has an area of 3,980 hectares. This represents a change of -410 hectares (-9%).

No applications were advertised as departures from Green Belt policies.

Green Infrastructure and the natural environment

Open Space Sport and Recreation 6.18 As green infrastructure and the natural environment are inter-related with open

space, sport and recreation, these topics are considered together. This approach is reflected in the Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan where it was decided to remove the dedicated policy on Open Space, Sport and Recreation. Reference to the requirement for the protection and enhancement of open space, sport and recreational facilities is contained within the Green Infrastructure and the Natural


Environment policy. 6.19 The policy, which is supported by our comprehensive evidence base, aims to

deliver a high quality and comprehensive network of interconnected green infrastructure and identifies a strategic green infrastructure network. Further development of green infrastructure requirements and its delivery across the City will be taken forward in the development of the DALDD over the next year.

6.20 Work commenced on developing a city wide Open Space Needs Assessment, this

is due for completion in the spring 2016. It will update the previous completed City of Newcastle’s Public Green Space, Sports and Recreation Needs and Opportunities Assessment (2009) and develop further the assumptions in the Addendum (2013). It will be used to inform the open space allocations and policy for the DALDD.

6.21 The Green Flag Award is the benchmark national standard for parks and green

spaces in the UK and applications for awards are judged against eight key criteria. There are two City Council maintained Green Flag Awarded Parks in 2014/2015, with a further park maintained by Newcastle University:

Heaton Park, Jesmond Vale Lane (NE6 5JS);

Jesmond Dene, Red Walk (NE7 7BQ);

King's Campus (Newcastle University)

Indicators: PP8 - Number of Parks with Green Flag Awards

6.22 There are currently 3 parks that have achieved Green Flag status:

Heaton Park, Jesmond Vale Lane (NE6 5JS); Jesmond Dene, Red Walk (NE7 7BQ); King's Campus (Newcastle University)

Plan for Built Facilities

6.24 The Council adopted a Plan for Built Facilities in October 2015. The Plan sets out

the requirements for built facilities to 2030 and follows on from the built facilities assessment report presented to cabinet in March 2015. This plan sets out any key issues that need to be addressed providing the Council with a long-term approach for investment and development of sports facilities. The Plan will help to bring investment into the city and will help sustain sports facilities for the next fifteen to twenty years. The Plan also gives direction to planners and developers in assessing the need to seek developer contributions or funding from the community infrastructure levy.

Plan for Playing Pitches

6.25 The Council adopted a Plan for Playing Pitches in October 2015. Sport England and

the National Governing Bodies (NGBs) were involved in the process. This Plan uses a nationally approved methodology on which its findings are based providing a


strategic approach to the provision and development of playing pitches and a process to enable the council to deliver and secure investment in playing pitches across the city. A key finding is that the city has insufficient accessible playing pitches to cope with the numbers of matches that will be generated by a growth in population. This will mean that some areas in the city, as well as upgrading existing facilities, will also require new outdoor facilities for sport. The Plan sets out a clear process that the council should follow, a priority is to establish a Pitches Review Group that will take forward the recommendations, monitor the plan and shape future delivery.


7. Transport and Accessibility 7.1 Transport and accessibility are fundamental to the delivery of the Core Strategy

and Urban Core Plan’s spatial strategy. The strategic transport policy sets out three main strands:

promote alternative travel choices to encourage a modal shift from sole

occupancy car use to more sustainable alternatives; improve the operation of our transport networks and improve our strategic

connections;

reduce the impacts of development, developers must take full consideration of sustainable travel options.

7.2 The challenge in the Urban Core is to develop and manage streets and places to

cater for both growth and create the sense of place. The changes will increase priority given to pedestrians and cyclists in parts of the Urban Core and improve the management of vehicular movements to, within and around the Urban Core.

7.3 The Urban Core section of the plan contains policies for:

1. Walking 2. Cycling 3. Public Transport 4. Freight and Servicing 5. General Traffic 6. Car Parking 7. Gateways and Arrival Points

7.4 The Transport Plan for the North East Combined Authority will show transport’s

role in achieving the goal of “More and Better Jobs” set out in the Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) for the North East. It will also demonstrate how, in transport terms, the North East Combined Authority works as a unified whole and relates to its immediate environs and the wider world. The Transport Plan will be completed by Autumn 2016.

Upgrading the Transport Network

7.5 The Council continue to work on a number of improvements that will help to

deliver the Council’s agreed priorities and policies in transport and associated areas.

7.6 We are taking measures to limit the increase in traffic by encouraging greater use

of public transport like buses and the Metro, and healthier ways to travel like cycling and walking. Though as our city grows and the economy improves we know that traffic is likely to grow in the years ahead and we have to take steps to


improve infrastructure to keep the city moving with a transport system that works. We have identified key areas to modernise and upgrade our transport network over the next five years so it will meet the needs of a flourishing modern city long into the future:

7.7 Around the city: Working with the Highways Agency and neighbouring councils we

will make improvements to the roads that go round the outside of Newcastle - in particular the A1 and the A19;

7.8 Across the city – Congestion is a common problem on these routes and there are

a number of bottlenecks and safety issues at some key junctions. We will make highways safer, provide better facilities for pedestrians and cyclists while smoothing the flow of traffic by making big improvements to critical junctions; and

7.9 Within the city centre: One of the most important parts of our plan is to continue to

renew the heart of the city. We want to make the city centre a safer and easier place to be. To do this we need to change the existing highways network to prioritise people, making it easier to get around and access services and shops.

Around the City

Working with Highways Agency undertake improvements to A1 and A19; Work has begun on upgrade of Coal House – Lobley Hill section of A1 and

Seaton Burn junction has been completed.

Across the City

An outline case has been prepared and submitted and a final case is being drafted for a scheme to improve the junction on the north side of Scotswood Bridge and the approaches to it.

Outline business cases have been submitted and full business cases are being developed for improvements at junctions on Cow Hill, Kenton Road-Grandstand Road, at Blue House, Osborne Road, and the Haddricks Mill roundabouts at South Gosforth.

Works from Broadway to Hollywood Avenue have been completed and additional works associated with Gosforth transport improvement project are due to begin early 2016.

Work is underway at Cowgate Roundabout and should be complete by mid 2016.

Within the City Centre 7.10 Funding awarded to work with Network rail to provide a direct pedestrian link from

Central Station to Stephenson Quarter (second phase of Central Gateway Project). A preferred option for the link and associated business case is being developed.


7.11 The following schemes have detailed designs that have been subject to public

engagement: o Barras Bridge and St Marys Place; o Percy Street;

o Claremont Road / Queen Victoria Road junction;

o Queen Victoria Road

7.12 Works on John Dobson Street Work are continuing on (Phase 1) along with

preparatory works for Phase 2.


8. Minerals and Waste

Minerals 8.1 The Council does not currently monitor production of secondary and recycled

aggregates in Newcastle. As part of the CSUCP monitoring, this will be recorded in the future.

Waste

8.2 The Council continues its commitment to take action to reduce, recover, recycle and

compost waste as far as possible and make adequate arrangements for the residual waste that requires disposal.

8.3 During 2014-2015 139,490 tonnes of municipal waste was collected. Residual waste that needed to be disposed to landfill also reduced in real terms for that period from 58,594 to 52,594.

8.4 No new waste management facilities were built.

8.5 The Council is currently addressing how MSW will be dealt with in the future. This includes discussions with a current private sector provider (SITA UK), who have a long term contract with the Council until 2024. This is currently being reviewed with a view to improving landfill diversion rates. This will require a variation of the existing contract, resulting in new contractual arrangements for MSW management and will provide the mechanism for achieving the aspirations of the Newcastle Waste Strategy. The proposals combined with front-end recycling initiatives in place, should result in landfill diversion of up to 80% of the MSW arisings.

9. Conclusion 9.1 This is the tenth Annual Monitoring Report charting the city’s progress against its

planning policy framework. Overall, there have been a number of positive developments during this monitoring period, and only a few areas for concern.

9.2 Elements that can be highlighted as particularly positive are:

The Council has adopted the Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan.

The Council expects to adopt CIL in early 2016.

The Council is addressing air quality, improving public transport and the local network.

Creating new jobs through retail, office and manufacturing opportunities.

Allocating sufficient land to meet the Council’s 5 year land supply.

Appendix 2 Five Year Land Supply Report

1. Introduction 1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the Planning Practice

Guidance (PPG) seek to underpin the Government’s step change in housing delivery through a more responsive approach to land supply at the local level. As a Local Planning Authority, Newcastle City Council are required to identify and maintain a rolling five year supply of deliverable housing land, to ensure the continued supply of homes in the area.

1.2 This document is an interim report which covers the five year period from 1st October

2015 to 31st September 2020. It is the council’s intention to publish a revised five year land supply report that will cover the period April 1st 2016 to 31st March 2021 in spring 2016.

1.3 This report sets out how Newcastle City Council has met its requirements and can

demonstrated a five year supply of land for housing. The report takes into account the NPPF requirement for an additional 20% allowance on the five year land supply to create competition and choice in land supply, and the requirement to consider meeting any past shortfall in completion rates.

1.4 Section 3 of this report set provides a full methodology setting out how this has been

calculated. A list of available and suitable sites, with a commentary on their deliverability (as of September 2015) is provided in Appendix 1. This information will be updated on an annual basis to reflect any new sites that become available and any change in circumstance with existing sites. It may be updated throughout the year if necessary, but as required by the Planning Practice Guidance, this annually produced report provides the Council’s position on the five year land supply position for the year from 1st April 2015.

1.5 The conclusions in the Five Year Land Support Report are based on information that was available at the time of the study and the council does not accept liability for any factual inaccuracies or omissions. The information will be a snapshot of the data captured at a point in time. Information will be compiled with all due care and attention, however inevitably discrepancies may occur. The document should therefore be considered as a live one that will be updated.

2. National policy 2.1 The NPPF states at paragraph 47 that local planning authorities should: “identify

and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide five years worth of housing against their housing requirements with an additional buffer of 5% (moved forward from later in the plan period) to ensure choice and competition in the market for land. Where there has been a record of persistent under delivery of housing, local planning authorities should increase the buffer to 20% (moved forward from later in the plan period) to provide a realistic prospect of achieving the planned supply and to ensure choice and competition in the market for land; identify a supply of specific, developable sites or broad locations for growth, for years 6-10 and, where possible, for years 11-15;”

2.2 In terms of the ‘type’ of sites which can be included in the five year housing supply: NPPG offers the following advice:

“Deliverable sites for housing could include those that are allocated for housing in the development plan and sites with planning permission (outline or full that have not been implemented) unless there is clear evidence that schemes will not be implemented within five years. However, planning permission or allocation in a development plan is not a prerequisite for a site being deliverable in terms of the five-year supply. Local planning authorities will need to provide robust, up to date evidence to support the deliverability of sites, ensuring that their judgements on deliverability are clearly and transparently set out. If there are no significant constraints (e.g. infrastructure) to overcome such as infrastructure sites not allocated within a development plan or without planning permission can be considered capable of being delivered within a five-year timeframe. “- see Paragraph: 031 Reference ID: 3-031-20140306

3. Calculating Newcastle’s Five Year Land Supply

Approach to Calculation Five Year Land Supply 3.1 This section of the report sets out Newcastle’s methodology for calculating its five

year deliverable supply. Calculating a five year land supply includes four stages;

1. Identifying the five year period; 2. Identifying the housing requirement for the five year period; and 3. Identifying and assessing sites that have the potential to deliver housing in

the five year period to determine the supply. 4. Calculating the Five year land supply by comparing the supply against the

requirement. Stage 1: Five Year Period 3.2 The first stage in calculating the five year land supply is to establish what period the

five years will cover and to identify the start date. This interim report cover the period from 1st October 2015 to 31 September 2020. The table below shows Newcastle’s monitoring periods.

Q1 1 April to 30 June Q2 1 July to 31 September Q3 1 October to 31 December Q4 1 January to 31 March

Figure 25 Newcastle monitoring quarters

3.3 Usually the five year land supply would be reported from 1 April to 31 March.

However, as this report was prepared following the publication of this years second quarter monitoring data, the council has based this interim report on information available as of the 1st October 2015.

Stage 2: Identifying the level of housing requirement for the five year period; 3.4 The future housing requirement for Newcastle is set out in the Core Strategy and

Urban Core Plan which was adopted in March 2015. Policy CS10 requires provision for 19,000 (gross), 17,000 (net) new dwellings between 2010 and 2030. As shown in Figure 2 below, the housing requirement in policy CS10 is phased to reflect the release of land to meet the housing needs.

3.5 The housing requirement for 2015 (Quarters 3&4) to 2021 (Quarter 1&2) is 4860. Figure 27 below illustrates the calculations.

3.6 Between 2010 and 2015 (Q3&4), 1937 dwellings have been complete. This means

there has been an oversupply of 53 as shown in Figure 28. CSUCP Housing

Figure 28 Delivery against housing requirement 2010-2015(Q1&2)

3.7 Once the five year requirement has been calculated the NPPF (paragraph 47)

requires local authorities to identify a 5% buffer to ensure choice and competition in the market but suggests this should be increased to 20% where there has been a record of persistent under delivery of housing. Where there has been a record of persistent under delivery of housing, the NPPF also requires local planning authorities to increase the buffer to 20% (moved forward from later in the plan period).

3.8 As illustrated in Figure 28, Newcastle has a persistent record of under delivery and

therefore will include a 20% buffer. An additional 20% buffer would increase the next five years (2015 (Q3&4) to 2020 (Q1&2)) requirement by 961 to 5764 (Figure 5).

3.9 In calculating the next 5-years requirement, Newcastle has adopted the “Sedgefield method” to deal with the historic shortfall. The Sedgefield method of calculating land supply involves adding any shortfall of housing from previous years within the first five years of a local plan. This approach is considered to be consistent with the PPG (Paragraph: 035 Reference ID: 3-035-20140306) which specifically advises that “Local planning authorities should aim to deal with any undersupply within the first 5 years of the plan period where possible”.

Stage 3: Identifying and assessing sites that have the potential to deliver housing in the five year period. 3.10 To calculate the housing land supply, the Council has to identify what land is

available and likely to be deliverable during the five year period. The NPPF states that “to be considered deliverable, sites should be available now, offer a suitable location for development now and be achievable with a realistic prospect that

2015/16 Q1&2

1880 3110 475 +354 3284 1937 +53

housing will be delivered on the site within five years and in particular that development of the site is viable”. Sites are assessed within the five year assessment against the three criteria of availability, suitability and achievability. Viability is a key consideration in the determination of site achievability.

3.11 Identifying sites that have the potential to deliver housing in the five year period is

split into two categories;

1. Site with Planning Permission - The NPPF indicates that sites with planning permission should be considered deliverable until permission expires, unless there is clear evidence that schemes will not be implemented within 5 years.

2. Sites without Planning Permission- National Planning Policy Guidance

indicates that planning permission is not a prerequisite for a site to be considered deliverable within five years. The Council will make an assumption that sites without planning consent will not deliver within five years unless there is evidence to suggest otherwise. Sites which are considered may start to deliver within five years include; Sites allocated in Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan that have developer

interest. Housing schemes the Council will deliver by the Fairer Housing Unit and

have council commitment that they will be delivered. Sites with planning permission consented after based date Applications for which there is a resolution to approve subject to a section

106 agreement Windfall sites

3.12 The PPG (Paragraph: 023 Reference ID: 3-023-20140306) advises that the local

planning authority should use the information on suitability, availability, achievability and constraints to assess the timescale within which each site is capable of development. The council will use data submitted by developers and local agents when assessing lead-in times and build-out rates by year. Unless the council has good reason not to do so, delivery forecast information received will be accepted. When no information is received, delivery information from previous years will be used to inform a delivery forecast. If no recent delivery information has been obtained, delivery assumptions will be applied. The assumptions for built out rates are set out in Newcastle’s Draft HELAA Methodology.2

Windfall 3.13 NPPF (Paragraph 48) states that Local Planning Authorities may make an

allowance for windfall sites in the five-year supply if they have compelling evidence that such sites have consistently become available in the local area and will continue to provide a reliable source of supply. Any allowance should be realistic having regard to the SHLAA, historic windfall delivery rates and expected future trends, and should not include residential gardens.

3.14 This is certainly the case in respect of small housing sites and the HELAA

http://www.newcastle.gov.uk/sites/drupalncc.newcastle.gov.uk/files/wwwfileroot/planning-and-buildings/planning-policy/newcastle_helaa_draft_methodology.pdf

incorporates a small site windfall allowance based upon a conservative assumption that unidentified developments of fewer than 5 homes will continue to yield at least 50 completions per annum.

3.15 Monitoring data (see figure 30) demonstrates that Newcastle has delivered 298

dwellings on sites less than 5, over the period 2010-2015. Therefore the Council will take a conservative estimate that estimates that an average of 50 dwellings will come for each year through this source.

Sites with planning permission less

than 5 dwellings. 2010/ 11 64 2011/ 12 46 2012/ 13 61 2013/ 14 72 2014/ 15 55

Figure 30 Sites with planning permission for less than 5 dwellings.

3.16 Office conversion to residential: On 30 May 2013 the government introduced a new

policy (through the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) (England) Order 2013) that gives permitted development rights for the conversion of offices (class B1a) to dwellings (class C3) without the need for an application for planning permission, through a prior approval system, for a three year period. Dwellings arising from this source have the potential to contribute to the supply.

3.17` Losses – The CSUCP assumes that there will be 300 losses (60 per annum). The

following are known demolitions to the Council Banbury Road, North Kenton – approx. 80 units demolished Q2 2014/15 Yewcroft Avenue, Benwell – approx. 40 demolitions underway; Woodside Avenue, Walker – approx. 40 demolitions underway; St Anthony’s House, Walker – approx. 90 flats to be demolished in 2016/17

3.18 Therefore the Council will take a conservative estimate that estimates that an

average of 50 dwellings will be lost each year,

Stage 4; Calculating Five Year Land Supply 3.19 Appendix 1 provides a list of all known sites and sources of supply discussed

above. Assumptions are then made about the likely delivery rate of each site, identifying when development is likely to start on site and how many dwellings could be delivered each year. These assumptions are based on previous completion rates, known market interest in sites being developed and local knowledge. They take into account known constraints which may mean that some sites are unlikely to be available during the five year period. Appendix 1 provides details of all sites and potential numbers that could be delivered each year; this is summarized below:

3.20 Figure 31 below provides a summary of the Councils five year supply of deliverable

housing sites. The information is correct at 31 September 2015 and is based on monitoring data provided by Newcastle City Council.

3.21 The Council’s five year land supply is set out in the following table a Five year requirement Figure 5 4807 b Five year requirement + 20% Figure 5 5768 c The estimated five year supply Appendix 1 7127 d Five year supply as a percentage of requirement

(including buffer) (c÷b) x 100 123%

e Five year supply (in years) c÷(b÷5) 6.1 Figure 31 Five year Land Supply

3.22 Figure 31 shows that the identified sites are capable of delivering 7127, which exceeds the requirement (including 20% buffer) to provide 5768 dwellings. It demonstrates that the council has a 6.1 years (rounded) or 123% supply of sites between 1 October 2015 and 31 September 2020.

3.23 The council has identified that sufficient land that is available to meet its five year

housing land supply requirement.

Housing Trajectory 3.24 The NPPF requires Local Planning Authorities to prepare a housing trajectory. This

provides a position statement comparing past performance on housing supply with anticipated future rates of housing development. It sets out the strategic housing requirements for the Plan period, past completion rates, projected future supply informed by the Housing Employment Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) and existing commitments and actual performance, identifying any under supply or over provision against targets. The trajectory covers a 15-year period from the current date, identifying deliverable sites for the five-year period and developable sites for the following ten years.

3.25 Trajectories are a forward planning tool, designed to support the plan, monitor and

manage the approach to housing delivery by monitoring both past and anticipated completions across a period of time. To illustrate, if past completions show a shortfall against requirements they can be used to demonstrate that future completions will make up this shortfall. Alternatively, as they look forwards as well as backwards, they can help indicate at an early stage whether any steps need to be taken to ensure planned requirements are met. Trajectories also provide a means of further exploring and understanding the various components of past and future housing supply.

3.26 The housing trajectory looks more long-term than the five year land supply report,

covering five years of past completions (since the beginning of the Plan period) and projecting forward at least 15 years from the current date. The latest housing trajectory has been updated to include the findings of the latest residential monitoring exercise, however beyond the 2020 cannot be updated until the Council completes its HELAA. The Council are currently undertaking a call out for sites.
