Non-technical Summary

What is the LDF?

The Local Development Framework (LDF) is a term used to describe the new Local Plan, a folderof documents, which includes all the local planning authority's local development documents. AnLDF is usually comprised of:

Development Plan Documents (which form part of the statutory development plan)Supplementary Planning Documents (these may cover a range of issues and provides furtherdetail of policies and proposals in a 'parent' Development Plan Document).

The Stafford Borough LDF is comprised of the following Development Plan Documents:

Core Strategy (known as The Plan for Stafford Borough ) Allocations and Site Specific Policy Development Management

Details of the timetable of production for these documents can be found in the Local DevelopmentScheme (LDS) on the Stafford Borough website.

Work has now begun on the Core Strategy DPD.

What is Sustainability Appraisal?

Sustainability Appraisal is a process of making decisions which balance economic, social andenvironmental factors for positive benefit. Sustainability doesn’t have to be difficult to understand.It is about treating the earth as if we intended to stay and making sure that future generationsinherit the earth in a good state.

Why carry out Sustainability Appraisal?

Sustainability Appraisal (SA) is a compulsory requirement under the 2004 Planning and CompulsoryPurchase Act and the 2001/42/EEC European Directive.This means that Stafford Borough Councilmust carry out a Sustainability Appraisal.

What is the Sustainability Appraisal Framework?

The Sustainability Appraisal framework is what will be used to appraise planning policies. Theframework is made up of objectives, indicators and targets tailored to the key sustainability issuesfor Stafford Borough. Planning policies are looked at under these targets and indicators in orderto understand how they will contribute towards the sustainable development of the Borough.

What are the Main Stages of SA?

There are 5 stages to the SA process.

1Sustainability Appraisal Commentary Volume 2 for The Plan for Stafford Borough: Issues and Options February 2009


http://www.staffordbc.gov.uk/forwardplanning

Stage A Setting the context, objectives, baseline and scope for the SA (Scoping Stage). Thisstage highlights how planning policies will be appraised, and is set out in what is called the ScopingReport.

Stage B Developing and refining plan options.This stage uses the framework set out in the ScopingReport to appraise planning policy options.The SA Commentary Report will highlight which optionis most sustainable and how it can be improved.

Stage C Appraisal of the social, economic and environmental effects of the plan. This stage issimilar to Stage B, it appraises the preferred planning policy and will state if the policy could beimproved to be more sustainable. This is set out in a document called the Sustainability AppraisalReport.

Stage D Consulting on the plan and the SA Report - At this stage we will ask people if they thinkthe SA is correct, or if they think the policy could be made more sustainable.

Stage E Monitoring the implementation of the plan - It is important for planning policies to bemonitored, to make sure that they are sustainable and to check there are no negative impacts.

Summary of SA Commentary findings

The SA Commentary Volume 2 makes the following amendments to the plan objectives:

Stafford

1. An additional 7,000 new high quality homes will be provided by 2026 to create new communitiessupported by district centres, three new health centres including GP surgeries, new primary schoolsin housing developments of more than 1,000 homes and mitigation against any adverse impacts

2. An additional 90 hectares of premium employment land that mitigates against any adverseimpacts , will be made available for new research and development facilities as well as growthopportunities to provide new businesses for graduates

Stone

1. Provide additional new high quality homes that mitigate against any adverse impacts andsupport the sustainable community without undermining urban regeneration initiatives in the NorthStaffordshire conurbation

February 2009 Sustainability Appraisal Commentary Volume 2 for The Plan for Stafford Borough: Issues and Options2


3. Provide an additional 20 hectares of new high quality employment land which mitigates againstany adverse impacts to provide further support and opportunities for expansion to new andexisting employers at Stone Business Park

Selected rural settlements

1. Provide for high quality new housing development in selected settlements that considersthe local character and is supported by new infrastructure provision and

2. Deliver sensitive additional facilities in settlements selected for growth to provide an improvedlevel of local services appropriate to the settlement in keeping with the local character

Should all the options in this document take place:

730.7 hectaresTotal land area of all housing options

245.2 hectaresTotal land area of all employment options

9.84 hectaresTotal land area of all retail / office options

22Number of sites using brownfield land

77Number of sites using greenfield land

8Number of sites within flood zone 3

2Number of sites adjacent to flood zone 3

11Number of sites within a conservation area

Recommendations

Whilst it is difficult to appraise broad locations without specific site details, the followingrecommendations / development principles apply to all of the options for housing, employment,retail and office development:

Specify materials to be used in the production of the development, with particular emphasison waste re-use and recyclingSpecify waste arrangements after completion of developmentSpecify on-site and where appropriate off-site supply of renewable energy / low carboncontributionsGreen Infrastructure / biodiversity protection and enhancement to be in place beforedevelopment beginsFlood risk assessments to be produced for the relevant optionsImprovements in infrastructure where issues have been identifiedMix of housing types and tenures for housing optionsMix of employment uses where appropriate for employment options



Design principles to ensure all development is in keeping with local characterTransport assessment / evaluation of green travel plans for those options identified to increasetransport

Next Steps

The results of this Sustainability Appraisal Commentary Volume 2, along with the results frompublic consultation, will be fed back into production of the Core Strategy. The next stage of theCore Strategy will select preferred policies and locations for development and these will beappraised in more detail in the Sustainability Appraisal Report.

1 Introduction

1.1 Plan making has always involved choices between different options for handling issues suchas housing, transport, employment and the environment. Sustainability Appraisal (SA) provides atool for helping authorities to identify sustainable approaches for dealing with key planning issuesand environmental concerns.

1.2 In 1999 the Government set out four central aims for achieving Sustainable Developmentin ‘A Better Quality of Life: A Strategy for Sustainable Development in the UK.’ (DETR, 1999). Thefour aims are as follows:

Social progress which recognises the needs of everyoneEffective protection of the environmentPrudent use of natural resourcesMaintenance of high and stable levels of economic growth and employment

1.3 To meet these aims ‘Securing the Future – A UK Government Sustainable DevelopmentStrategy 2005’ (1) presents the following guiding principles to bring together and build on existingprinciples in order to set out an overarching approach for Sustainable Development.

Living with environmental limitsEnsuring a strong, healthy and just societyAchieving a sustainable economyPromoting good governanceUsing sound science responsibly

1.4 To be effective, Sustainability Appraisal must be fully integrated into the plan-making process.The SA will appraise each stage of the development plan’s production, and audit key policydecisions. Sustainability Appraisal will monitor the effectiveness of the plan during its implementationin order to inform future revisions.

1.5 Sustainability Appraisal will apply to both types of Local Development Documents preparedby the Council, allowing Development Plan Documents (DPDs) and Supplementary PlanningDocuments (SPDs) to be appraised to determine whether they are likely to make a positivecontribution to sustainable development objectives, and not just minimisation of adverse impacts.In the case of Development Plan Documents requiring both SA and Strategic EnvironmentalAssessment (SEA) the SEA requirements will be incorporated into the SA reports.

1.6 The objective of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive is:

“to provide for a high level of protection of the environment and to contribute to the integrationof environmental considerations into the preparation and adoption of plans . . . with a viewto promoting sustainable development”.

1 (Defra, 2005)


Introduction 1

1.7 The full title of the European Community Directive is ‘Directive 2001/42/EC of the EuropeanParliament and of the Council of 27 June 2001 on the assessment of the effect of certain plansand programmes on the environment’. However for the sake of brevity, this SA Commentary willrefer to the Directive as the SEA Directive.

1.8 The objectives of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive are:

Identifying strategic alternatives;Collecting baseline environmental information;More thorough prediction of significant environmental effects;Greater consultation of the public and statutory environmental agencies;Addressing and monitoring the significant environmental effects of the plan.

1.9 The SEA Directive defines environmental assessment as a procedure comprising of

Preparing an environmental report on the likely significant effects;Preparing an environmental report on the likely significant effects of the draft plan;Carrying out consultation on the draft plan and the accompanying environmental report;Taking into account the environmental report and the results of consultation in decision making;andProviding information when the plan is adopted and showing how the results of the SEA havebeen taken into account.

1.10 The main difference between Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and SustainabilityAppraisal (SA) is that SEA is focused primarily on environmental effects, whilst SA incorporatesthe requirements of the SEA Directive and goes further by examining the social and economicimpacts of the plan. Therefore the SA process fully complies with the European Parliament’s SEADirective and the SEA Regulations prepared by the British Government.


1 Introduction

2 Sustainability Appraisal & The Development Plan DocumentProcess

Figure 1 Sustainability Appraisal and the DPD Process

2.1 It has been normal practice for those preparing and commenting on development plans toconsider their likely environmental effects. Therefore the principle of assessing the environmentalconsequences of plans is not new. However what the SEA Directive and SA process require isthe use of an explicit and systematic method to comprehensively and impartially identify and assessthe environmental consequences of the development plan.


Sustainability Appraisal & The Development Plan Document Process 2

2.2 The method for completing a SA on a Development Plan Document (DPD) involves theprocess outlined in Figure 1 above. Although the approach is presented as a sequence relevantobjectives, policies and proposals may be re-examined in light of the information gathered throughthe SA process and in associated consultations. The consultation and submission of both theSustainability Appraisal Reports and the DPD will take place at the same time.

2.3 The Government has designated the Environment Agency, Natural England (formed fromEnglish Nature and the Countryside Agency) and English Heritage as ‘authorities with environmentalresponsibilities’ through the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations2004. These agencies must be consulted by plan making authorities in England on the content ofthe Sustainability Appraisal Report setting out the process undertaken and SEA requirements.Other agencies will also be consulted to provide feedback on aspects of the Report.

2.1 Scoping Report

2.4 The Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report was published for consultation in October 2007.The document explained; the purpose of SA, set out the stages of SA, established the baselinedata and outlined the SA framework that will be used to inform the SA of LDF documents.

2.5 Some minor amendments were made to the content of the SA process in light of commentsmade. In particular the following changes were made:

Additional baseline dataRewording of sustainability indicators and targets

2.6 The following plans, policies and programmes were also added to the list suggested in theScoping Report, and have been taken into consideration throughout the SA Framework, seen inthe Technical Appendices:

2.2 B2 Developing the DPD Options

2.7 The Sustainability Appraisal Commentary (both the previous Volume 1 and this Volume 2)covers the second stage of the Sustainability Appraisal process, Stage B2 – Developing the DPDOptions. The SA Commentary also covers the following SA processes:

The strategic options considered and how they were identified; andComparison of the social, environmental and economic effects of the options.

2.8 Various development strategy options have been developed during the preparation of theCore Strategy DPD. The preparation of these strategy options have been assessed, using theSustainability Appraisal process, to measure performance in terms of sustainability by consideringall economic, social and environmental factors.

2.9 The effects of a policy option can only be understood by comparing it with a state, an optionor an objective. The table below sets out the broad alternatives for each policy topic area. Thisprocess has informed the preparation of policy topic options. Furthermore the SA assessment hasalso considered the timescale and significance of the effect.

2.2.1 Sustainability Appraisal Commentary Volume 1

2.10 The SA Commentary Volume 1 appraised the following 6 broad development strategyoptions:

Option 1 - Stafford FocusedOption 2 - Stafford & Stone FocusedOption 3 - Stafford, Stone & Principal SettlementsOption 4 - Stafford & Principal Settlements onlyOption 5 - Selected Settlement Growth PointsOption 6 - Growth Distributed Widely

2.11 In addition a 'business as usual' approach was also appraised. Overall options 3 and 4were selected as being the most sustainable choices for the development strategy, due to thesustainability of Stafford, Stone and the Principal Settlements.



2.12 Recommendations focused on other settlements that were deemed as being sustainablein terms of services and facilities and the following policy recommendations:

Housing type and tenure, including affordable housing and sustainable housing designEnvironmental protection and enhancement, including mitigation measures and greeninfrastructureRenewable EnergyEmployment provisionDevelopment infrastructure including transport, water resources and community services andfacilities

2.13 Consultation took place on the SA Commentary Vol.1 in January and February 2008 witha total of 8 comments being received. These comments made reference to the appraisal of thebroad strategy options, in particular the SA framework. As a result of these comments the followingchanges have been incorporated into the sustainability appraisal process:

Introduction of detailed decision making criteria alongside sustainability objectives, indicatorsand targets, in order to better illustrate how options are appraised and to provide a moredetailed appraisal of each plan or policy optionUpdated baseline information and the addition of waste and recycling information to thetechnical appendicesNew and amended indicators and targetsInclusion of plans and policies into SA framework



3 Sustainability Appraisal Framework

3.1 The Sustainability Appraisal Framework is the framework that will be used to appraiseplanning policies and plan options.The framework is made up of sustainability objectives, indicatorsand targets tailored to the key sustainability issues for Stafford Borough.

3.2 The principle of the SA Framework was outlined in the Scoping Report, in particular themethodology used for assessing each planning policy or plan option. The table below shows thesustainability appraisal objectives that will be used to appraise the development strategy optionsin this SA Commentary.

6.1 Whilst it is not possible to appraise each option in detail at this stage, without specific sitedetails, the following general comments on each settlement can be made.

Stafford

6.2 By providing sufficient employment alongside housing, the Stafford options can achievesustainability. No option stands out in terms of being completely sustainable, as all will have certainimpacts, and all options will have demands on resources and energy supply. Options SF11 andSF12 offer more positive impacts in terms of access and a reduced need to travel, but also has ahigh number of negative impacts in terms of landscape and biodiversity.

6.3 In general, there are landscape, flood and biodiversity issues in several locations whichshould be addressed from the outset. In terms of the historic environment, locations SF1, SF3,SF4, SF5, SF9, SF10, SFd and SFe are located in areas of highest sensitivity. Development tothe north of Stafford needs to consider natural landscape objectives of landscape restoration, tothe east and west of landscape maintenance and to the south / south east objectives of landscapeenhancement. There are areas in and around Stafford, particularly along the river corridor and tothe north / north east where the landscape is at risk of rapid loss of character and quality.

6.4 Six of the options; SFb, SFd, SFe, SFg, SF5 and SF8 include areas within flood zone 3.Other options, in particularly SF1 and SF2 may have flood impacts further downstream due to theexisting natural drainage system. Development at SF11 and SF12 may require investigation intodrainage of the site.

6.5 Due to the proximity of some of Stafford to the Cannock Chase Special Area of Conservation(SAC), a full Appropriate Assessment will be required for all options, in order to investigate possiblenegative impacts and mitigation measures. Possible negative impacts are outlined in the ii ‘HabitatRegulations Assessment’ section.

6.6 Of the town centre options for office and retail development, all options offer positive impactsin terms of access, using previously developed land, boosting employment and local economy.For several options, there are issues of town character, in particular the conservation area andfor SFTC-T2 there may be impacts on the adjacent Kingsmead Local Nature Reserve. Due toexisting flood issues within Stafford town, it is unsure what impacts increased development wouldhave.

Stone

6.7 By providing sufficient employment alongside housing, the Stone options can achievesustainability. No option stands out in terms of being completely sustainable, as all will have similaridentified negative and positive impacts. Options SN3, SN4 and SN5 have less negative impactsidentified, but still have issues of landscape impact and loss of greenfield land.

6.8 In terms of the historic environment, locations SN3, SN4 and SNa are located in areas ofhighest sensitivity.


Summary and Recommendations 6

6.9 Development to the west of Stone needs to consider natural landscape objectives oflandscape restoration and to the south and southeast objectives of landscape maintenance. Landto the west of Stone is considered to be of highest landscape sensitivity.

6.10 One option, SNa includes an area within flood zone 3, with SN5 lying adjacent to the floodzone.

6.11 Of the town centre options for office and retail development, all options offer positive impactsin terms of access, using of previously developed land, providing services to the local and ruralarea and also contributing towards the local economy and employment levels. For one option,SNTC-T5 there is an issue of flood risk and a Flood Risk Assessment may be required. All towncentre options could have an impact on the Stone Conservation Area, and any development shouldbe in line with actions listed in the adopted Stone Conservation Area Appraisal.

Gnosall

6.12 Whilst Gnosall offers a range of services and facilities, there are limited employmentopportunities. It may be appropriate to consider some of the options, in particular GN3 and GN4for employment. It may also be appropriate to retain, enhance and provide public access at theexisting open space at Gnosall Heath to cater for recreation needs of an increased population.

6.13 In terms of the historic environment, locations GN2, GN4, GN5, GN8 and GN9 are locatedin areas of highest sensitivity.

6.14 Development to the north of Gnosall needs to consider natural landscape objectives oflandscape maintenance and to the south objectives of landscape enhancement. All land surroundingGnosall is considered to be of highest landscape sensitivity, with land to the north / north westand south / south west at risk of rapid loss of character and quality.

6.15 One option, GN8 includes an area within flood zone 3, with GN5 lying adjacent to the floodzone.

Eccleshall

6.16 Housing development in Eccleshall is appropriate due to services, facilities and proximityto Raleigh Hall Industrial Estate. It may be appropriate to provide additional open space andrecreational facilities, especially in accessible locations.

6.17 In terms of the historic environment, location EC2 is located in the area of highest sensitivity.

6.18 Development to the east of Eccleshall needs to consider natural landscape objectives oflandscape restoration and to the west objectives of landscape maintenance. Land to the west ofEccleshall is considered to be of highest landscape sensitivity.

6.19 No options lie within flood zone 3, although there may be flood, drainage and water qualityissues to the north of the settlement, and so a Flood Risk Assessment may be required for EC1.

Great Haywood and Little Haywood and Colwich



6.20 All development needs to be of a high quality design in order to protect and enhance theConservation Areas, the Cannock Chase AONB and Shugborough Park and Garden.

6.21 In terms of the historic environment, locations GN2, GN3, LH1 and LH2 are located inareas of highest sensitivity.

6.22 Development between the Haywoods needs to consider natural landscape objectives oflandscape maintenance and to the north objectives of landscape regeneration and enhancement.Land to the west of The Haywoods is considered to be of highest landscape sensitivity.

6.23 Whilst no options lie within flood zone 3, it may be appropriate to investigate local flood,drainage and sewage systems, which have been raised as an issue.

Hixon

6.24 The development options in Hixon provide some opportunity to use brownfield land. Hixonhas only a basic level of services and facilities compared to the other larger villages, and soadditional services, such health care and a more frequent bus service may be required.

6.25 In terms of the historic environment, locations HI1, HI2, HI3 and HI4 are located in areasof highest sensitivity.

6.26 Development to the west of Hixon needs to consider natural landscape objectives oflandscape regeneration and to the east objectives of landscape enhancement. Land to the westof Eccleshall is considered to be of highest landscape sensitivity.

6.27 No options lie within flood zone 3.

Haughton

6.28 Haughton has good transport links and public transport to Stafford and Newport, alongwith a suitable level of services and facilities.

6.29 In terms of the historic environment locations HN1, HN2, HN3, HN5 and HN6 are locatedin areas of highest sensitivity.

6.30 Development to the north of Haughton needs to consider natural landscape objectives oflandscape restoration, maintenance and enhancement and to the south objectives of landscapeenhancement. Land to the west is considered to be at risk of rapid loss of character and quality.

6.31 Whilst no options lie within flood zone 3, further investigation into localised flooding anddrainage issues to the north of the settlement may be required.

Weston

6.32 Weston has reasonable services and facilities and this location is considered to be of lowsensitivity in terms of the historic landscape. Areas of high historic landscape sensitivity are withinthe existing built up area of Weston and so development needs to be of high quality design.



6.33 Development at WT1 needs to consider natural landscape objectives of landscaperegeneration.

6.34 Whilst this is the only location surrounding the village, west of the A51 that is not in theflood zone, possible impacts should still be investigated.

Woodseaves

6.35 Whilst Woodseaves has some services and facilities, if the majority of development optionstook place additional services and facilities, such as healthcare, open space and recreation andan improved bus service should be considered.

6.36 Development on the edge of Woodseaves needs to consider natural landscape objectivesof landscape maintenance and to the north / north east objectives of landscape regeneration.Themajority of land surrounding Woodseaves is considered to be of highest landscape sensitivity,with land to the south / south east considered at risk of rapid loss of character and quality.

6.37 No options lie within flood zone 3.

Yarnfield

6.38 This development whilst providing housing on previously developed land, would result inloss of employment, requiring people to travel elsewhere for work. Depending on the scale ofdevelopment, there may be issues of sewage treatment and flooding in the settlement, which havebeen raised in the past. Improvements to the local bus service should be considered.

Tittensor

6.39 Developing these locations for housing, would involve using previously developed land butwould result in loss of employment.Tittensor does have good transport links to larger settlements.Development would need to consider providing open space and mitigation measures for biodiversityalong with impacts on the adjacent flood zone.

Industrial Area Options

6.40 Development at Ladfordfields would be an extension to the existing industrial estate.Thereis no current public transport to the site and this should be addressed. This site contains waterfeatures, which could have biodiversity value.

6.41 Development at Raleigh Hall would be an extension to the existing industrial estate, whichmay provide employment for the rural areas of the Borough. Although there is a bus service toRaleigh hall, a more regular service / green travel plans could help reduce the need to travel bycar. This area contains some water and tree features, which may have biodiversity value.

Key Question 3

Do you think the comments for each settlement are correct?



Recommendations

6.42 The following recommendations / development principles apply to all of the housing,employment, retail and office options:

Specify materials to be used in the production of the development, with particular emphasison waste re-useSpecify waste arrangements for after completionSpecify on-site and where appropriate off-site supply of renewable energy / low carboncontributionsGreen Infrastructure / biodiversity protection and enhancement to be in place beforedevelopment beginsFlood risk assessments to be produced for the relevant options highlighted aboveImprovements in infrastructure where issues have been identifiedMix of housing types and tenures for housing optionsMix of employment uses where appropriate for employment optionsDesign principles to ensure all development is in keeping with local characterTransport assessment / green travel plans for those options identified to increase transport

Key Question 4

Do you think the development principles are correct?
