Non-Technical Summary
Introduction This section provides a non-technical summary of the findings set out in this Initial Sustainability Appraisal (SA) Report of the South Cambridgeshire Gypsies and Travellers DPD: Issues and Options 2.
Sustainability Appraisal What is Sustainability Appraisal?
SA is the process of assessing the likely impacts of a plan on the environment, the community and the economy. By law, an SA must be carried out of plans that set out the spatial planning requirements of a local authority. At the moment, local authorities are in the process of preparing new plans which will guide spatial planning in their district for the next few years - the Local Development Framework (LDF). The LDF consists of a number of Local Development Documents (LDDs). There are two types of LDDs – Development Plan Documents (DPDs) and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs).
European Directive 2001/42/EC also requires certain plans to undergo a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) to ascertain their effects on the environment. This Directive was incorporated into UK law in 2004. The Government recommends that the two processes of SA and SEA are integrated and simply referred to as SA. The Government has produced guidance for undertaking both processes which is available here:
http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/planningandbuilding/sustainabilityappraisal
How was it done?
Government Guidance separates the SA process into five stages. These five stages run in parallel to the development of the DPD. The figure below shows the different stages of the SA process.

The five stage SA process
Stage E�� Monitor the implementation of the plan (including
its sustainability effects)
Stage A�� Assemble the evidence base to inform the
appraisal�� Establish the framework for undertaking the
appraisal (in the form of sustainability objectives)
Stage B�� Appraise the plan objectives, options and
preferred options / policies against the framework taking into account the evidence base.
�� Propose mitigation measures for alleviating the plan’s adverse effects as well as indicators for monitoring the plan’s sustainability
Stage C�� Prepare a Sustainability Appraisal Report
documenting the appraisal process and findings
Stage D�� Consult stakeholders on the plan and SA Report
Scoping Report
Sustainability Appraisal Report
LDF Annual Monitoring Report
(AMR)
Stages A and B are key stages of the SA process. The outcomes of Stage A – the scoping stage - are set out in a Scoping Report (published in 2006 and available on the council’s website1) and two addendums to this Scoping Report, which related specifically to the SA of the Gypsies and Traveller DPD (one which was produced in 2006 and one in 2009). The purpose of Stage A is to gather evidence and set the scope for the forthcoming assessment stage (Stage B).
Stages B and C are iterative. In 2006 the Council prepared a document for consultation setting out ‘issues and options’ relating to the ‘general approach’ to dealing with Gypsy and Travellers. An SA was undertaken of the options in this document (Stage B) and an SA Report was published (Stage C) entitled ‘Sustainability Appraisal of Gypsy & Traveller DPD: Issues & Options 1’.
The Council has now produced a second document for consultation setting out site options for Gypsy and Traveller pitches as well as the Council’s preferred options for a small number of Gypsy and Traveller development control policies. An SA has now been undertaken of these latest options and preferred options (SA Stage B) and findings are presented in this SA Report (SA Stage C).
In the future the Council may wish to consult on further site options, in which case further SA will be undertaken and reported. Once the Council has established its final set of preferred options it will draft a ‘submission version’ of the Gypsy and Travellers DPD for consultation, which will also be appraised with findings set out in an SA Report.

The South Cambridgeshire Gypsies and Travellers DPDThe Gypsy and Traveller Development Plan Document (DPD) will identify the allocations in order to deliver Gypsy and Traveller pitches in the District required by the East of England Plan. It will also set out planning policies that will become part of the Council's Local Development Framework.
The East of England Plan single issue review will establish pitch requirements for all local authorities in the region.2 The emerging East of England Plan requires at least 69 new permanent pitches to be provided in South Cambridgeshire between 2006 and 2011, and an allowance for future household growth beyond 2011, adding up to a total of minimum requirement of 127 pitches between 2006 and 2021. Taking account of completed sites since 2006 and outstanding permissions at 2009, the residual minimum requirement to be found through new permanent sites is 88 pitches.
The council’s Local Development Framework must include land allocations to demonstrate how these pitches will be delivered. A range of site options have been tested, using criteria that were consulted on in 2006. A total of 42 sites were tested. Many of those were rejected at the initial stage of the site assessment process because they failed fundamental planning considerations, such as access problems or flood plain. The shortlist has now been reduced to 20 site options and it is these that are set out in the Council’s ‘Issues and Options 2’ document for consultation, and are the focus of the SA. The site options are set out in the Table below.

2 A pitch is the space required to accommodate one household and will vary according to the size of the household in a similar way to housing for the settled community. The number of caravans can be considered comparable to the number of bedrooms in a house.

Transit sites are temporary stop-offs used by Gypsies and Travellers who are simply passing through an area for a specific period of time. There is currently no Transit provision in Cambridgeshire and views are sought on whether the following site should become a Transit site:

The Gypsy and Traveller DPD must also address the needs of Travelling Showpeople. The emerging East of England Plan requires at least 30 plots to be delivered in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough between 2006 and 2021. There are two existing sites in South Cambridgeshire, both at Meldreth. There is potential capacity within one of these sites to accommodate additional plots – see Table below.

The Issues and Options 2 consultation document also sets out some proposed development control policies that should be judge planning applications (including planning applications that will continue to come forward for land that is not allocated). All of the draft policies represent the Council’s preferred options at this time. They are not yet finalised and the Council are seeking views on all options. For some of the preferred options the Council have also provided other options, which they consider suitable to reject. The list of options is set out below.

The SA Objectives This SA essentially sets out to test the options and preferred options against a list of aspirational sustainability objectives. These objectives were developed at the scoping stage of the SA, and set out in the SA Scoping Report (2006). These objectives are collectively known as the SA framework. The framework sets the boundaries and scope of the assessment and the objectives provide the yardstick against which the likely significant effects of the plan have been predicted and evaluated. The prediction and evaluation of effects in terms of the objectives is also informed by other evidence gathered at the scoping stage (including through the two Gypsy and Traveller Scoping Report Addendums). The full list of sustainability objectives is set out below.
Sustainability appraisal objectives 1.1 Minimise the irreversible loss of undeveloped land and productive agricultural holdings
1.2 Reduce the use of non-renewable resources, including energy sources
1.3 Limit water consumption to levels supportable by natural processes and storage systems
2.1 Avoid damage to designated sites and protected species
2.2 Maintain and enhance the range and viability of characteristic habitats and species
2.3 Improve opportunities for people to access and appreciate wildlife and wild places
3.1 Avoid damage to areas and sites designated for their historic interest, and protect their settings.
3.2 Maintain and enhance the diversity and distinctiveness of landscape and townscape character
3.3 Create places, spaces and buildings that work well, wear well and look good
4.1 Reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses and other pollutants (including air, water, soil, noise, vibration and light)
4.2 Minimise waste production and support the recycling of waste products
4.3 Limit or reduce vulnerability to the effects of climate change (including flooding)
5.1 Maintain and enhance human health
5.2 Reduce and prevent crime, and reduce the fear of crime
5.3 Improve the quantity and quality of publicly accessible open space
6.1 Improve the quality, range and accessibility of services and facilities (e.g. health, transport, education, training, leisure opportunities)
6.2 Redress inequalities related to age, gender, disability, race, faith, location and income
6.3 Ensure all groups have access to decent, appropriate and affordable housing
6.4 Encourage and enable the active involvement of local people in community activities
7.1 Help people gain access to satisfying work appropriate to their skills, potential and place of

7.2 Support appropriate investment in people, places, communications and other infrastructure
7.3 Improve the efficiency, competitiveness, vitality and adaptability of the local economy
The findings of the Sustainability AppraisalEach of the site options and policy options was assessed against each of the SA objectives, with the aim of highlighting the sustainability strengths and weaknesses of each. In terms of the site options, the aim was to allow a more informed comparative assessment of the relative merits of each site, thus aiding the process of deciding upon which should be selected as a ‘preferred option’. In terms of the policy options, the aim was to highlight the absolute strengths and weaknesses of each and suggest ways in which each might be improved.
The options appraisal was a qualitative exercise based on professional judgement on the part of Scott Wilson taking into account the information gathered in the Scoping Report as well as information gathered by the Council as part of their criteria based to generating the shortlist of site options. For each option, the significance of effects in terms of each SA objective was evaluated by means of a commentary and also given a broad categorisation using the scoring system as shown below.
Assessment scoring definitions3
++ Option will result in a positive impact on the SA Objective
+The impact on the SA Objective is dependant on implementation, but if there were to be an impact it would most likely be positive. (Note that a ? symbol may be added to highlight a degree of uncertainty)
0Neutral or negligible effect (Note that a ? symbol may be added to highlight a degree of uncertainty; or a + or – symbol to indicate the likely direction of any minor effects)
-The impact on the SA Objective is dependant on implementation, but if there were to be an impact it would most likely be negative. (Note that a ? symbol may be added to highlight a degree of uncertainty)
-- Option will result in a negative impact on the SA Objective
?
The relationship between the Option and the SA Objective is unknown, or there is not enough information to make an assessment. (Note that a + or – symbol may be added to indicate the likely direction of any uncertain effects)
Set out below is the options appraisal summary table.
3 N.B. In some cases, differing symbols have been used to score the appraisal. Where this occurs the first symbol takes priority. For example an -? score will technically be a negative score, with some uncertainty, a ?- score will technically be a uncertain score but with the potential to be negative.

South Cambridgeshire District Council Sustainability Appraisal of the South Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller DPD Issues and Options 2
Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 xi
Summary of the effects of the plan The SA has highlighted that perhaps the greatest factor that distinguishes between the sustainability of the site options is there location in relation to a range of services and facilities. A number of the site options are located within major development sites. Such locations are likely to have good access to local services and facilities. It is also the case that most of the major development sites are likely to have good access to Cambridge, where it will be possible to access a greater range of services and facilities. The proposed sites in the Chesterton Fen area also benefit from being in relatively close proximity to Cambridge (although local services and facilities are more limited). Other sites will have access to more basic services and facilities in small villages such as Bassingbourn and Swavesey, or larger villages such as Willingham, but are more isolated from Cambridge. The assessment has recognised that it can not be taken for granted that Gypsies and Travellers will make full use of public transport and so become less dependent on the car. Rather, minimising the distance that must be travelled in order to reach services and facilities has been given considerable weight as a sustainability benefit.
There are likely to be other benefits to locating sites within major development sites. In particular, it is thought that this is likely to lead to the best chance of the sites ‘integrating well’ and a good relationship being established between Gypsies and Travellers and the settled community. It is thought that policy option OPT5 – which suggests that sites should be on the edge of major developments or outside but in close proximity - should support the successful integration of Gypsy and Traveller sites at major developments. It is also thought that policy option OPT6 – which relates to the design of sites that come forward as part of major developments – should also support successful integration.
Design of Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling Showpeople is an important factor more generally, particularly in terms of the well-being of Gypsy and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople and the satisfaction of the settled community with their local environment. It is thought that policy options OPT12 and OPT13 – both of which relate to design – should both successfully ensure that any potential problems are minimised and opportunities maximised. However, there are some local sustainability issues that cannot adequately addressed through good design. The assessment has highlighted that some of the locations do have significant constraints that may mean that they might be less suitable than alternative locations. For example, it is noted that some issues exist in relation to visual impact on the landscape/townscape, flood risk and location within areas of existing poor air quality.
To conclude, it is clear that this DPD is not being developed with a ‘lowest common denominator’ approach to meeting Gypsy and Traveller needs. Rather, it has been identified that there are opportunities within the District to locate Gypsy and Traveller sites where there is the potential for real benefits – in particular through exploring the potential at several major development sites, as well as other options around the district.

South Cambridgeshire District Council Sustainability Appraisal of the South Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller DPD Issues and Options 2
Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 1
1 Introduction
1.1 The South Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller DPD 1.1.1 South Cambridgeshire District Council (‘the Council’) is in the process of preparing the South
Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller Development Plan Document (DPD). The plan will go through a number of stages of preparation before it is finally adopted. The Council is currently at the second stage of considering ‘issues and options’. The issues and options currently under consideration relate to ‘site options and policies’.
1.1.2 Site options have been identified by the Council following an assessment process using criteria resulting from the previous stage of plan preparation (which involved consulting on a document known as ‘Issues and Options 1: General Approach’ in 2006). The Council have now produced a document that will seek views from the public on these site options and policies, known as 'Issues and Options 2: Site Options and Policies'. The consultation also provides a further opportunity for any other site options to be suggested. The document also consults on potential planning policies that could be included in the plan.
1.2 This SA Report 1.2.1 The Issues and Options 2 document has been subject to Sustainability Appraisal (SA), carried
out by Scott Wilson consultants in accordance with Government regulations. This is to ensure that the site options and policies can be considered in the light of full information on their social, environmental and economic impact. This SA Report documents the SA process to date, focusing on the findings of the recent assessment of the Issues and Options 2 document. It is intended that the Council can take on-board the findings of the assessment, and also that the findings of the assessment are available to inform the consultation on Issues and Options 2.
1.3 Sustainability Appraisal and Strategic Environmental Assessment
1.3.1 Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (PCPA) (2004), all DPDs produced by the Council as part of their Local Development Framework (LDF) must undergo a process of Sustainability Appraisal (SA). SA involves the identification and evaluation of the DPD’s impacts on economic, social and environmental objectives – i.e. its compatibility with the three dimensions of sustainable development. The SA process incorporates the requirements of a European law requiring certain plans and programmes to undergo a formal Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA).
1.3.2 SEA involves the systematic identification and evaluation of the environmental impacts of a strategic action (e.g. a plan or programme). In 2001, the EU legislated for SEA with the adoption of Directive 2001/42/EC on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment (the ‘SEA Directive’). The Directive entered into force in the UK on 21 July 2004 and applies to a range of English plans and programmes including DPDs.
1.3.3 SA and SEA are therefore both statutory requirements. The Government’s approach to this dual requirement is to incorporate the requirements of the SEA Directive into the SA process. The SA, which considers all three pillars of sustainability, therefore incorporates the
South Cambridgeshire District Council Sustainability Appraisal of the South Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller DPD Issues and Options 2
Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 2
requirements of the SEA Directive, but does not have any bias towards giving consideration to environmental issues. To this end, the Government published guidance4 on undertaking SA of spatial plans (‘the Guidance’) in November 2005. The combined SA / SEA process is referred to in the Guidance and in this document as ‘Sustainability Appraisal (SA)’.
1.3.4 The Guidance advocates a five-stage approach to undertaking SA (see Figure 1.1).
Figure 1.1: Five stage SA process.
Stage E�� Monitor the implementation of the plan (including
its sustainability effects)
Stage A�� Assemble the evidence base to inform the
appraisal�� Establish the framework for undertaking the
appraisal (in the form of sustainability objectives)
Stage B�� Appraise the plan objectives, options and
preferred options / policies against the framework taking into account the evidence base.
�� Propose mitigation measures for alleviating the plan’s adverse effects as well as indicators for monitoring the plan’s sustainability
Stage C�� Prepare a Sustainability Appraisal Report
documenting the appraisal process and findings
Stage D�� Consult stakeholders on the plan and SA Report
Scoping Report
Sustainability Appraisal Report
LDF Annual Monitoring Report
(AMR)
1.3.5 Stages A and B are key stages of the SA process. The outcomes of Stage A – the scoping stage - are set out in a Scoping Report (published in 2006 and available on the council’s website5) and two addendums to this Scoping Report, which related specifically to the SA of the Gypsies and Traveller DPD (one which was produced in 2006 and one in 2009). The purpose of Stage A is to gather evidence and set the scope for the forthcoming assessment stage (Stage B).

Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 3
1.3.6 Stages B and C are iterative. In 2006 the Council prepared a document for consultation setting out ‘issues and options’ relating to the ‘general approach’ to dealing with Gypsy and Travellers. An SA was undertaken of the options in this document (Stage B) and an SA Report was published (Stage C) entitled ‘Sustainability Appraisal of Gypsy & Traveller DPD: Issues & Options 1’.
1.3.7 The Council has now produced a second document for consultation setting out site options for Gypsy and Traveller pitches as well as the Council’s preferred options for a small number of Gypsy and Traveller development control policies. An SA has now been undertaken of these latest options and preferred options (SA Stage B) and findings are presented in this SA Report (SA Stage C).
1.3.8 In the future the Council may wish to consult on further site options, in which case further SA will be undertaken and reported. Once the Council has established its final set of preferred options it will draft a ‘submission version’ of the Gypsy and Travellers DPD for consultation, which will also be appraised with findings set out in an SA Report.
1.4 Report structure 1.4.1 This report is structured as follows:
� Section 1 – Sets the context of the DPD and the Sustainability Appraisal
� Section 2 – Summarises the findings of Stage A of the SA process (the ‘scoping’ stage’)
� Section 3 – Sets out the methodology, appraisal findings (Stage B) and monitoring proposals
� Section 4 – Describes what will happen next in the plan-making process

1.5 Meeting the requirements of the SEA Directive 1.5.1 The SEA Directive sets out a legal assessment process that must be followed. In light of this,
this report clearly sets out the relevant requirements of the SEA Directive and explains how these have been satisfied (or will be satisfied).
1.5.2 Table 1.1 below indicates where specific requirements of the SEA Directive can be found within this Initial SA Report and the Final SA Report.

2 Stage A
2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 Stage A in the SA process involves five key tasks:
� A1 – Review other relevant policies, plans, programmes, strategies and initiatives that set the ‘sustainability context’ within which the LDF is being produced.
� A2 – Collect relevant social, environmental and economic sustainability baseline information
� A3 – Identify key sustainability issues specific to the LDF to be considered as part of the SA
� A4 – Develop the SA framework, consisting of the SA objectives, indicators and targets
� A5 – Produce a Scoping Report and consult relevant authorities, the public and other key stakeholders on the scope of the appraisal and evidence base collected.
2.1.2 Stage A involves collecting evidence that can inform the development a set of locally specific sustainability objectives and other decision-making criteria (the ‘SA framework’ – Stage A4). Other evidence collected at Stages A1 – A3 is also available to inform the appraisal of the LDF against the SA framework. The SA framework and evidence base were documented in a Scoping Report, which was adopted (following consultation – Stage A5) in 2006, and is now available on the council’s website. 8 Two addendums to this Scoping Report have also been produced to identify evidence relating specifically to Gypsies and Travellers – one which was produced in 2006 and one in 2009.
2.1.3 As agreed with SCDC, the Scoping Report (2006) and most recent Scoping Report Addendum (2009) have been the key source of information used to guide and inform this SA. In addition to this, further evidence used to inform the plan-making process has been made available by SCDC, and has been drawn upon in order to inform the SA.
2.2 The sustainability context (A1) 2.2.1 The first task in Stage A of the SA process involved reviewing the policy and sustainability
context in which the South Cambridgeshire District Council LDF is being prepared. This entailed reviewing a large number of policies, plans, programmes, strategies and initiatives prepared at international, national, regional and local level considered relevant to the LDF. This review identified a number of pre-requisites (including targets) that LDF policies must reflect in the light of local circumstances. Table 2.1 lists relevant extracts from the sustainability context review.

National Key messages for the DPD:
The Human Rights Act 1998 � The DPD will need to reflect the rights to travel and occupy caravans as an integral part of social identity and respect needs for long term settlements
ODPM Circular 01/2006 Planning for Gypsy and Traveller Caravan Sites
� To increase the number of Gypsy and Traveller sites in appropriate locations and reduce the number of unauthorised encampments.
� To identify and make provision for resultant land and accommodation requirements
� Support and create inclusive communities, the DPD must be fair, realistic and inclusive in its policies
� Avoid Gypsy and Traveller evictions and increasing homelessness � Provide long term and transit sites that meet economic and social
needs � Consider need for the ability to travel as a key feature of
accommodation need � Consider underused land as possible locations � New sites should respect and not dominate the nearest settled
community � Sites may need to provide for mixed uses � Vehicular access and parking are key considerations
ODPM - Sustainable Communities: Homes for all 2005
� The DPD must promote sustainable and mixed communities
CLG Circular 04/2007 Planning for Travelling Showpeople
Key issues when assessing the sustainability of the identified sites will be:� The impact of the proposed site(s) on existing communities, both in
terms of scale and pressure on existing local infrastructure. � Accessibility to existing local facilities such as health services,
schools and shops. � The ability of the site(s) to protect and facilitate a respectful,
inclusive and integrated co-existence between the residents of the site and the local community.
� Regard for highways considerations, including access to / from the site as well as the provision of parking, turning and servicing on the site.
� The potential for noise and other disturbance to the residents of the site, including from the movement of vehicles.
CLG Designing Gypsy & Traveller Sites: Good Practice Guide (May 2008)
Key issues when assessing the sustainability of the identified sites will be:� Accessibility to existing local facilities such as health services,
schools, shops and recreation areas for children. � The location of the site(s) in relation to the settled community and
the possible development of community cohesion. � Regard for highways considerations, including access to / from the
South Cambridgeshire District Council Sustainability Appraisal of the South Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller DPD Issues and Options 2
Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 8
site for residents, emergency services and waste disposal vehicles, as well as the provision of parking, turning and servicing on the site.
� The location of the site(s) in relation to industrial sites and other hazardous places that could have a detrimental effect on the health, well-being and safety of residents.
� The relationship of the site(s) with the surrounding environment. � Accessibility to services such as mains water, electricity, drainage
and sanitation.
Proposed Changes to the draft Policy on Gypsy & Traveller Accommodation in the East of England (March 2009)
� Local authorities should make provision through DPDs for the number of net additional residential pitches for Gypsies & Travellers as set out in draft policy H3.
� Local authorities should work together to establish a network of transit pitches, distributed as set out in draft policy H3.
� Policies should recognise the diversity of the Gypsy & Traveller communities, for instance new Gypsy & Travellers may require a different form of site development.
� Local authorities should make provision through DPDs for the number of net additional plots for Travelling Showpeople as set out in draft policy H4.
� Local authorities should work in county groupings with local Travelling Showpeople and the Showmen’s Guild of Great Britain to identify sites.
� Local authorities should consider the need for rural exception sites and alterations to the Green Belt boundary, where necessary, to meet the required provision.
� Identified sites should be in locations attractive to Gypsy & Travellers and Travelling Showpeople as well as avoiding areas at risk of flooding, and where there would be adverse effects on areas of wildlife and landscape importance.
Cambridge Sub-Region Strategic Housing Market Assessment (May 2008)
The DPD must respond to and consider the following issues: � The pressing need for more Gypsy & Traveller sites of all kinds –
public, private, transit and long-stay. � The wishes of Gypsy & Travellers: they would prefer small, self-
owned, long stay sites for family groups, preferably on the edge of villages and near established Gypsy & Traveller communities.
� The need for 110-130 additional pitches in South Cambridgeshire between 2005 and 2010, concentrated on permanent sites.
� The investigation of suitable land in Council ownership for use as either transit sites or permanent sites, and the encouragement of suitable sites provided by social housing providers.
� Family networks and informal reciprocal arrangements are influential in accommodation arrangements and preferences, as well as being important for encouraging and sustaining economic activity.
� The high level of serious health problems, educational disadvantage, racism, feelings of isolation, drug abuse and loss of identity of the Gypsy & Traveller population.

2.3 The sustainability baseline (A2) 2.3.1 Research was undertaken to assemble a baseline dataset which quantifies local conditions on
40 parameters, including river water quality, air quality, loss of high quality agricultural land, the area and condition of important wildlife habitats, housing completion rate and the achievement of energy efficiency ratings in new dwellings, levels and patterns of commuting and travel to school, availability of shops and other amenities in the District’s villages, unemployment levels, educational achievement rates, etc. Data on conditions in adjacent local authority areas, in the East of England, or nationally, was used to determine whether environmental, economic and social conditions in the District were favourable, average or typical of the surrounding region, or unsatisfactory and in need of specific corrective policy.
2.3.2 The findings of the baseline review are documented in the Scoping Report. Updated baseline information can be found in the South Cambridgeshire District Council Annual Monitoring Report.9
2.3.3 Set out below is some recent baseline information of relevance to Gypsies and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople. Tables 2.3 and 2.4 show the number of authorised and unauthorised Gypsy & Traveller caravans and plots and the number of authorised Travelling Showpeople plots within the district. Table 2.5 shows the number of pitches and plots given permission since January 2006. The data shows that South Cambridgeshire has a high ratio of private authorised Gypsy & Traveller pitches to Council owned Gypsy & Traveller pitches. A number of pitches have now received temporary planning permission, reducing the number of caravans recorded on unauthorised sites with no planning permission.

2.4 Sustainability Issues (A3) 2.4.1 Stage A3 involves taking account of the evidence gathered at stages A1 and A2 to identify the
main sustainability issues for South Cambridgeshire. Table 2.6 lists some sustainability issues relating to Gypsies and Travellers. These come from the first Scoping Report Addendum (2006),and in some places have been updated to reflect the current situation.

Table 2.6 Summaries of South Cambridgeshire District Council Gypsy and Traveller DPD additional Sustainability Issues
Sustainability problem Supporting evidence and issues for consideration Social
Location based needs:
Access to services (local shops, doctors and health centres, schools, employment)
� Consider locations in or near existing settlements with access to local shops, doctors and schools
� Consider access to sites. No disabled access reported for some council sites
� Wider benefits of easier access to GP and other health services � Children attending school on a regular basis � Need to provide sites, including transit sites, in locations that meet
the current working patterns of gypsies and travellers � Consideration must be given to vehicular access from the public
highway, provision for parking, turning and servicing on site, and road safety for occupants and visitors
� High incidence of educational disadvantage � High incidence of serious health problems
Health inequality and wider determinants
� Gypsies are believed to experience the worst health and education status of any disadvantaged group in England
� Health outcomes and status significantly poorer than that found in the lowest socio-economic group in the UK population Accommodation is overriding factor as the context for bad health effects, this is due to: - Increased evictions - Restricted access to healthcare and education - Increase in unsafe conditions on roadside sites - Breakdown of social and community support networks - Road side sites with limited access to clean water
� Wider health determinants include: - High levels of racism from neighbours - Feelings of isolation and loss of identity
� Access to services � Breakdown of support networks
Ability of family groups to be located together or in close proximity
� Family networks and informal reciprocal arrangements are important for encouraging and sustaining economic activity
� Some communities of gypsies and travellers live in extended family groups and often travel as such. This is a key feature of their traditional way of life that has an impact on planning for their accommodation needs
� Council sites have been criticised for lack of expansion space which undermines the structure of extended families
� When household sizes reach around six individuals they seem to displace to unauthorised sites, perhaps because of the difficulty in accessing a large enough pitch on an authorised site
Effect on and integration with settled communities
� Sites should respect the scale of, and not dominate the nearest settled community. They should also avoid placing undue pressure

Sustainability problem Supporting evidence and issues for consideration on the local infrastructure
� Promotion of peaceful and integrated co-existence between the site and the local community
� Consider potential for noise and other disturbance from movement of vehicles on the site and on site business activities
Range of sites available, and levels of permanence must meet needs of Gypsy/Traveller population
� Sites to address need being planned on a regional basis through the East of England Plan.
� Need for more sites of all kinds: public, private, long-stay and transit
� Gypsy/Traveller preference for small self-owned long stay sites for family groups, on edge of a village and near established Gypsy/Traveller communities
� Even if every Gypsy/Traveller family in the country had their own long-stay or ‘settled’ base, there would still be a need for transit sites for those who are travelling
� Transit and residential sites should not be placed at the same location
� SCDC recorded 183 unauthorised caravans in July 2005, second highest count in the country. The figure is now lower, and in January 2009 there was only 30 caravans on land without planning permission.
� The creation of quality living environments will help reduce inequalities
Economic
Type of work available to Gypsies and Travellers changing (and higher risk of economic deprivation)
� Types of work have changed over recent years contributing to severe economic disadvantage and social exclusion
� The South Cambridgeshire district has a high ratio of private authorised to council accommodation. This does not address the needs of those Gypsies/Travellers who lack resources to buy their own land
Environmental
Consideration of Nature and Heritage Designations
� Criteria should be tightly and reasonably defined, e.g. conditions such as ‘the site does not impact on any area with natural/wildlife interest’ is too wide
� Conservation sites are vulnerable to the impacts of unauthorised occupation, including woodlands areas which have accessible and open rides and sites with rare species
General Environmental Impacts � Provision of a settled base that reduces the need for long-distance travelling and possible environmental damage caused by unauthorised encampment
� Use of brownfield, untidy or derelict land can be encouraged as this may help to enhance the environment and increase openness
� Sites should be connected to the public foul sewer for appropriate disposal of foul drainage. In the eventuality of a connection to the public sewer not being available, the suitability of non-mains

Sustainability problem Supporting evidence and issues for consideration sewerage must be effectively demonstrated
� The appropriate collection of waste must be considered on sites, and appropriate access to recycling facilities
Environmental considerations � Avoid areas at high risk of flooding given the particular vulnerability of caravans
� Avoid contaminated land � Noise and visual impacts (overlooking) should be considered both
on areas adjoining Gypsy and traveller sites and also impact on Gypsy and Traveller sites.
2.5 SA objectives (A4) 2.5.1 SA is fundamentally based on an objectives-led approach whereby the potential impacts of a
plan are gauged in relation to a series of objectives for sustainable development. In other words, the objectives provide a methodological yardstick against which to assess the effects of the plan.
2.5.2 As part of Stage A of the SA process, a series of 22 sustainable development objectives and other decision-making criteria (the SA framework) were established. The SA framework is set out in Table 2.7 below.

3 Stage B
3.1 Introduction 3.1.1 Stage B involves undertaking the assessment itself. The box below sets out the purpose of the
assessment stage.
3.1.2 The guidance sets out a six stage approach to completing Stage B:
� B1 - Testing the DPD objectives against the SA framework
� B2 - Developing the DPD options – carried out by the Council
� B3 - Predicting the effects of the draft DPD
� B4 - Evaluating the effects of the draft DPD
� B5 - Considering ways of mitigating adverse effects and maximising beneficial effects
� B6 - Proposing measures to monitor the significant effects of implementing the DPD
3.2 Testing the DPD Objectives (B1) 3.2.1 The guidance requires that the plan objectives undergo an assessment against the SA
framework (see box below). Furthermore, the consultation document sets out a draft vision for the DPD. This vision has also been appraised and the findings set out in this section.
Assessment of the draft vision
3.2.2 The draft vision was assessed against the SA framework. The full findings can be found in Appendix I, and are summarised in Table 3.1 below.
The SEA Directive requires the environmental assessment to identify, describe and evaluate’…‘the likely significant effects on the environment of a plan or programme’ Annex II of the SEA Directive provides criteria which help determine the likely significance of an effect.
SEA Directive, Article 5 & Annex II
The Guidance states that the ‘purpose of this task is to predict the social, environmental and economic effects of the options being considered in the DPD process’. Also, the Guidance states that ‘having identified and described the likely effects of the DPD, an evaluation of their significance needs to be made’.
Sections 3.3.11 and 3.3.15, Sustainability Appraisal of Regional Spatial Strategies and Local Development Documents, DCLG, 2005.
‘It is important for the objectives of the DPD to be in accordance with sustainability principles. The objectives should be tested for compatibility with the SA objectives.’
Section 3.3.4, Sustainability Appraisal of Regional Spatial Strategies and Local Development Documents, DCLG, 2005
South Cambridgeshire District Council Sustainability Appraisal of the South Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller DPD Issues and Options 2
Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 19
Table 3.1: Assessment of the draft vision
Summary Careful location and design of Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling Showpeople sites has the potential to lead to a range of benefits for both the travelling and settled communities. It is likely that careful planning - as is occurring through the process of developing the DPD - to take account of the full range of important constraints and opportunities, and thus minimise potential negative sustainability effects and maximise positive effects. In particular, sites will be better located and designed, and so the potential for negative effects on the receiving environment and neighbouring communities is lessened, and there should be the potential for successful integration between communities. This will be important in terms of meeting the needs of Gypsies and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople. Another key issue is accessibility to services and facilities. This will be a key locational criterion when identifying suitable locations for authorised sites, which will go some way to redressing existing inequalities in terms of health, education and wider deprivation.
The vision does not currently refer explicitly to the benefits of meeting needs in a well planned way, but this is implicit. However, the vision does currently refer to the fact that meeting needs will minimise occurrences of illegal and unplanned Travelling encampments and development, which can be seen as a secondary effect that also has a range of associated benefits.
Recommendations 1) The vision could be more positive if it referred to meeting needs in appropriate locations with well designed sites, with reduced unauthorised sites as a positive by-product.
2) Clarify whether well planned sites will also have mechanisms put in place to encourage good management over time.
South Cambridgeshire District Council Sustainability Appraisal of the South Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller DPD Issues and Options 2
Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 20
Assessment of the draft objectives
3.2.3 The draft vision was assessed against the SA framework. The full findings can be found in Appendix II, and are summarised in Table 3.2 below.
Table 3.2: Assessment of the draft objectives
Summary:The second and fourth objectives are related as meeting needs will result in minimising occurrences of illegal and unplanned encampments and developments, which can be associated with a range of sustainability issues. However, rather than simply seeking to meet needs, perhaps a greater focus of the DPD is to meet needs in the most appropriate way, which should increase the chance of success. The first objective refers to ‘address[ing] the full range of land-use and planning issues that need to be taken into account regarding Gypsy and Traveller sites and Travelling Showpeople sites’. Although it is thought that the wording could be improved to be more explicitly positive, it is thought that the essence is that careful planning will be undertaken, which leads to sites in the most appropriate locations where benefits can be maximised for both the travelling and settled communities.
The fifth objective makes a useful link to the South Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller Community Strategy. The Strategy is currently in draft form, but once adopted will aim to ensure that these communities inform council planning, enjoy equality of service provision and are part of cohesive communities within which people from different backgrounds participate together and share equal rights and responsibilities. The strategy will promote social cohesion and ensure effective service delivery by: � Providing a consistent, co-ordinated approach across the council, and through its partnerships, to its
work with Gypsies and Travellers. � Improving access to services and the responsiveness of mainstream services. � Promoting engagement between Gypsies and Travellers and the council and its partnerships aimed at
developing community cohesion. � Promoting equality of opportunity.
This focus on good engagement with the Gypsy and Traveller community is likely to result in a range of sustainability benefits, including in terms of addressing existing health issues and access to appropriate services and facilities. It is uncertain whether the South Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller Community Strategy will work with the Gypsy and Traveller community to address the need to find suitable employment, or how best to reduce fear of crime.
Recommendations:1) The objectives refer to ‘taking into account land-use and planning issues’, but could also refer to ‘facilitating good design and management over time’
2) It is not clear that the term ‘address the full range of land-use and planning issues’ is sufficiently positive to imply that opportunities will be taken to maximising sustainability benefits, such as through ensuring that location contributes to redressing health inequalities. ‘Addressing land-use and planning issues’ could be interpreted as sounding like a rather constraints based exercise.

3.3 Developing the Options (B2) 3.3.1 Developing meaningful alternatives, or ‘options’ is a key component of SEA and SA – see box
below. It is only once options have been developed that they can be subsequently assessed.
3.3.2 The Council have developed their site options taking account of the requirements made of the District by the emerging East of England Plan, which will establish pitch requirements for all local authorities in the region.13 The emerging East of England Plan requires at least 69 new permanent pitches to be provided in South Cambridgeshire between 2006 and 2011, and an allowance for future household growth beyond 2011, adding up to a total of minimum requirement of 127 pitches between 2006 and 2021. Taking account of completed sites since 2006 and outstanding permissions at 2009, the residual minimum requirement to be found through new permanent sites is 88 pitches.
3.3.3 The council’s Local Development Framework must include land allocations to demonstrate how these pitches will be delivered. A range of site options have been tested, using criteria that were consulted on in 2006. A total of 42 sites were tested. Many of those were rejected at the initial stage of the site assessment process because they failed fundamental planning considerations, such as location in the access problems or flood plain. The shortlist has now been reduced to 20 site options and it is these that are set out in the Council’s ‘Issues and Options 2’ document for consultation, and are the focus of the SA. The site options are set out in the Table 3.3.
13 A pitch is the space required to accommodate one household and will vary according to the size of the household in a similar wayto housing for the settled community. The number of caravans can be considered comparable to the number of bedrooms in a house.
The SEA Directive requires the environmental assessment to identify, describe and evaluate’…‘the likely significant effects on the environment of a plan or programme’ Annex II of the SEA Directive provides criteria which help determine the likely significance of an effect.
SEA Directive, Article 5 & Annex II
The Guidance states that the ‘purpose of this task is to predict the social, environmental and economic effects of the options being considered in the DPD process’. Also, the Guidance states that ‘having identified and described the likely effects of the DPD, an evaluation of their significance needs to be made’.

3.3.5 The Gypsy and Traveller DPD must also address the needs of Travelling Showpeople. The East of England Plan requires at least 30 plots to be delivered in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough between 2006 and 2021. There are two existing sites in South Cambridgeshire, both at Meldreth. There is potential capacity within one of these sites to accommodate additional plots – see Table 3.5.

3.3.6 The Issues and Options 2 consultation document also sets out some proposed development control policies that should be judge planning applications (including planning applications for land that is not allocated). All of the draft policies represent the Council’s preferred options at this time. They are not yet finalised and the Council are seeking views on all options. For some of the preferred options the Council have also provided other options, which they consider suitable to reject. The list of options is set out below.
Table 3.6: Policy options
Option LocationOPTION OPT1 If sites are allocated in the Green Belt under exceptional circumstances,
they should remain in the Green Belt. REJECTED OPTION OPT2 If sites are allocated in the Green Belt under exceptional circumstances they
should be removed from the Green Belt. OPTION OPT3: If additional sites are allocated at Chesterton Fen Road, the area west of
Chesterton Fen Road should remain in the Green Belt. REJECTED OPTION OPT4: If additional sites are allocated at Chesterton Fen Road, the area west of
Chesterton Fen Road should be removed from the Green Belt. OPTION OPT5: Sites delivered through major developments should be within but on the
edge of a development, or outside but in close proximity except in the Green Belt.
OPTION OPT6: The GTDPD should include a policy covering specific issues relating to the design and location of Gypsy and Traveller sites within or close to major developments (detail of the draft policy is set out in the Issues and Options 2 document)
OPTION OPT7: Major developments should be required to provide a specific number of pitches through the GTDPD, and how that number is split into individual sites should be left to masterplanning of the development.
OPTION OPT8: Delivery of sites should be phased so that key services and facilities are available in a new development before Gypsy and Traveller pitches are completed.

OPTION OPT14: The monitoring indicators currently included in the Annual Monitoring Report are sufficient to monitor the performance of the Gypsy and Traveller DPD.
3.4 Predicting and evaluation the effects (B3 & B4) Methodology
3.4.1 Each of the site options and policy options was assessed against each of the SA objectives, with the aim of highlighting the sustainability strengths and weaknesses of each. In terms of the site options, the aim was to allow a more informed comparative assessment of the relative merits of each site, thus aiding the process of deciding upon which should be selected as a ‘preferred option’. In terms of the policy options, the aim was to highlight the absolute strengths and weaknesses of each and suggest ways in which each might be improved.
3.4.2 The options appraisal was a qualitative exercise based on professional judgement on the part of Scott Wilson taking into account the information gathered in the Scoping Report as well as information gathered by the Council as part of their criteria based to generating the shortlist of site options. For each option, the significance of effects in terms of each SA objective was evaluated by means of a commentary and also given a broad categorisation using the scoring system as shown in Table 3.7.
Table 3.7: Assessment scoring definitions14
++ Option will result in a positive impact on the SA Objective
+The impact on the SA Objective is dependant on implementation, but if there were to be an impact it would most likely be positive. (Note that a ? symbol may be added to highlight a degree of uncertainty)
0Neutral or negligible effect (Note that a ? symbol may be added to highlight a degree of uncertainty; or a + or – symbol to indicate the likely direction of any minor effects)
-The impact on the SA Objective is dependant on implementation, but if there were to be an impact it would most likely be negative. (Note that a ? symbol may be added to highlight a degree of uncertainty)
14 N.B. In some cases, differing symbols have been used to score the appraisal. Where this occurs the first symbol takes priority. For example an -? score will technically be a negative score, with some uncertainty, a ?- score will technically be a uncertain score but with the potential to be negative.
South Cambridgeshire District Council Sustainability Appraisal of the South Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller DPD Issues and Options 2
Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 25
-- Option will result in a negative impact on the SA Objective
?
The relationship between the Option and the SA Objective is unknown, or there is not enough information to make an assessment. (Note that a + or – symbol may be added to indicate the likely direction of any uncertain effects)
Difficulties encountered
3.4.3 In terms of evaluating the significance of effects, there was a constant need to take into account the ‘uncertainty’ and ‘likely magnitude’ of effects. In terms of uncertainty, the key constraint is that, at this strategic level of decision-making, there can be little certainty regarding how an allocation might actually be implemented. For example, the assessment has not been able to make use of site designs or masterplans. In terms of the magnitude of effects, the assessment has often highlighted that there is the potential for effects of low magnitude. In this instance a judgement must be made regarding overall significance.. It is important to remember that ‘significant effects’ must be significant at this strategic level of decision-making. Many less significant effects will be more appropriately addressed at the site specific scale of during implementation.
3.4.4 The other difficulty often encountered when undertaking a strategic appraisal of a large number of site options is that of collecting robust baseline information specific to each location. However, in this instance this has not been a major limitation, as it has been possible to make use of the local information gathered for each site by the Council to inform their criteria based assessment of the long-list of sites options (which resulted in the identification of the current shortlist of site options). It is also useful that the Council’s criteria were developed so that they took account of each of the SA objectives as best as possible. This meant that the evidence gathered by the Council was often of relevance to the SA.
Findings of the site options assessment
3.4.5 In order to allow the sustainability performance of each site option to be easily prepared a summary table of the ‘scores’ assigned in the assessment is set out in Table 3.8. These scores cannot tell the whole story, and should be read in conjunction with the summaries that have been prepared for each site, which are set out in Tables 3.9 – 3.30. The full findings of the site options assessment can be found in Annex III.
The SEA Directive requires ‘any difficulties (such as technical deficiencies or lack of know-how) encountered in compiling the required information’ be included in the report.

South Cambridgeshire District Council Sustainability Appraisal of the South Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller DPD Issues and Options 2
Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 29
Table 3.9: Site 1 – Sandy Park, Chesterton Fen Road, Milton
Summary The site is a greenfield site within the Green Belt and is fairly isolated from public transport and facilities/amenities. However, the Chesterton Fen area is on the edge of Cambridge, which has a full range of services and facilities, and so reliance on making long journeys by car may be relatively low. Part of the site is within Flood Zones 2 & 3. However, the site does offer some benefits as there are unlikely to be adverse effects on nature conservation or landscape. Similarly, the allocation of the site will contribute towards meeting identified need for Gypsy and Traveller pitches and help to reduce associated social exclusion.
Table 3.10: Site 2 – Plots 1, 3 & 5 Sandy Park, Chesterton Fen Road, Milton
Summary The site is a greenfield site within the Green Belt and is fairly isolated from public transport and facilities/amenities. However, Chesterton Fen area is on the edge of Cambridge, which has a full range of services and facilities, and so reliance on making long journeys by car may be relatively low. The site is within Flood Zone 2. However, the site does offer some benefits as there are unlikely to be adverse effects on nature conservation or landscape. Similarly, the allocation of the site will contribute towards meeting identified need for Gypsy and Traveller pitches and so help to reduce associated social exclusion.
Table 3.11: Site 3 – Cambridge East
Summary Many of the effects are unclear at the current time as site provision would fall within the wider Cambridge East Major Development Site and is therefore subject to masterplanning. However, it is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as additional facilities will be provided as part of the wider development. Furthermore, there is good access to Cambridge.
Table 3.12: Site 4 – North West Cambridge – Land between Huntingdon Road and Histon Road
Summary Many of the effects are unclear at the current time as the site falls within the wider proposed Major Development Site and is therefore subject to masterplanning. However, it is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as additional facilities will be provided as part of the wider development. Furthermore, there is good access to Cambridge.
Table 3.13: Site 5 – North West Cambridge – Land between Madingley Road and Huntingdon Road (University Site)
Summary Many of the effects are unclear at the current time as the site falls within the wider North West Cambridge Major Development Site and is therefore subject to masterplanning. However, it is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as additional facilities will be provided as part of the wider development. Furthermore, there is good access to Cambridge. It is noted that there may be air quality issues associated with this site that would need to be addressed.

Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 30
Table 3.14: Site 6 - Northstowe
Summary Many of the effects are unclear at the current time as the site falls within the wider Northstowe Major Development Site and is therefore subject to masterplanning. However, it is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as additional facilities will be provided as part of the wider development. Furthermore, there is likely to be good access to Cambridge, via public transport.
Table 3.15: Site 7 - Cambourne
Summary Many of the effects are unlikely to be significant as the site falls within the wider Cambourne Major Development Site, which is currently under construction. However, it is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as additional facilities will be provided as part of the wider development. Cambourne is a considerable distance from Cambridge, and if it is accepted that Gypsies and Travellers are less likely to use public transport then it can be seen that car dependency from this site could be high.
Table 3.16: Site 8 – Ida Darwin Hospital Fulbourn
Summary Many of the effects are unclear at the current time as the site falls within the wider Ida Darwin Hospital Major Development Site and is therefore subject to masterplanning. However, it is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as the site is close to Fulbourn Village. However, Cambridge is some distance away and so there may be a reliance on the private car for longer journeys.
Table 3.17: Site 9 – Grange Park, Foxes Meadow, Iram Drove (off Priest Lane) Willingham
Summary There are unlikely to be many significant effects given the small scale of development proposed at this site. It is noted that there is the potential for adverse effects on the landscape character of the area as a result of the ‘urban’ frontage of the site, however, these can be mitigated through appropriate planting. Willingham is some distance from Cambridge and so there may be a high reliance on the private car for making long journeys.
Table 3.18: Site 10 – Plots 1 & 2 Cadwin Lane, Schole Road Willingham
Summary There are unlikely to be many significant effects given the small scale of development proposed at this site. It is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as the site is close to Willingham Village. However, Willingham is some distance from higher order settlements, and so there may be a high reliance on the private car for making long journeys.
Table 3.19: Site 11 – Plots 3 & 4 Cadwin Lane, Schole Road Willingham
Summary There are unlikely to be many significant effects given the small scale of development proposed at this site. It is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as the site is close to Willingham Village. However, Willingham is some distance from higher

order settlements, and so there may be a high reliance on the private car for making long journeys.
Table 3.20: Site 12 – Plots 5 & 6 Cadwin Lane, Scholes Road Willingham
Summary There are unlikely to be many significant effects given the small scale of development proposed at this site. It is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as the site is close to Willingham Village. However, Willingham is some distance from higher order settlements, and so there may be a high reliance on the private car for making long journeys.
Table 3.21: Site 13 – Land to rear of Long Acre and Green Acres, Meadow Road Willingham
Summary There are unlikely to be many significant effects given the small scale of development proposed at this site. It is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as the site is close to Willingham Village. However, Willingham is some distance from higher order settlements, and so there may be a high reliance on the private car for making long journeys.
Table 3.22: Site 14 – Land to rear of Long Acre, Meadow Road (1) Willingham
Summary There are unlikely to be many significant effects given the small scale of development proposed at this site. It is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as the site is close to Willingham Village. However, Willingham is some distance from higher order settlements, and so there may be a high reliance on the private car for making long journeys.
Table 3.23: Site 15 – Land to rear of Long Acre Meadow Road (2) Willingham
Summary There are unlikely to be many significant effects given the small scale of development proposed at this site. It is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as the site is close to Willingham Village. However, Willingham is some distance from higher order settlements, and so there may be a high reliance on the private car for making long journeys.
Table 3.24: Site 16 – Site of storage/agricultural buildings east of Long Acre, Meadow Road Willingham
Summary There are unlikely to be many significant effects given the small scale of development proposed at this site. It is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as the site is close to Willingham Village. However, Willingham is some distance from higher order settlements, and so there may be a high reliance on the private car for making long journeys.

Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 32
Table 3.25: Site 17 – The Oaks, Meadow Road Willingham
Summary There are unlikely to be many significant effects given the small scale of development proposed at this site. It is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as the site is close to Willingham Village. However, Willingham is some distance from higher order settlements, and so there may be a high reliance on the private car for making long journeys.
Table 3.26: Site 18 – Land at Spring Lane Bassingbourn
Summary It is likely that there will be benefits in relation to access to facilities and amenities as the site is close to Bassingbourn Village. However, this location is relatively isolated from any higher order settlement, and the bus service is relatively infrequent. There is the potential to enhance the current planting along footpaths to the east and south of the site.
Table 3.27: Site 19 – Rose & Crown Road Swavesey
Summary The site is in an open position and can be seen over long distances, appearing as an ‘island’ in the open landscape. Facilities in Swavesey are located some distance from the site and this has the potential to reduce any benefits. Furthermore, the site is isolated from a higher order settlement, and so dependency on the private car for longer journeys could be relatively high.
Table 3.28: Site 20 – New Farm, Old North Road, Whaddon
Summary The site benefits from being an existing Gypsy and Traveller site, but it is not an ideal location in terms of access to facilities and amenities as the site is some distance from the nearest better served village.
Table 3.29: Site 21 – Blackwell Caravan Site, Mere Way, Milton (edge of Cambridge)
Summary There is the potential for benefits in relation to this site on the edge of Cambridge to access to facilities and amenities as the site has good access to public transport services including the guided bus providing services to Addenbrookes. Furthermore, there is good access to Cambridge, where there is a full range of services and facilities. However, the effects of changing the status of the site from permanent residential to transit in relation to meeting housing needs, addressing inequalities, crime and creating places is not known.
Table 3.30: Site 22 – Bidalls Boulevard, Kneesworth Road Meldreth
Summary There is the potential for an adverse effect in relation to access to facilities and amenities as the site is some distance from the built-up area of the village and public transport services are poor.

Findings of the policy options assessment
3.4.6 Set out below (Tables 3.31 – 3.22) are the summaries and recommendations from the assessment of the policy options. The full assessment findings can be found in Annex IV.
3.4.7 The recommendations aim to mitigate or enhance the absolute sustainability effects of implementing the Plan, and therefore it is important that the Council makes a statement in response to each.
Table 3.31: OPTION OPT1 - If sites are allocated in the Green Belt under exceptional circumstances, they should remain in the Green Belt.
Summary This option does not have wide ranging sustainability implications as it is not promoting the Green Belt as an appropriate location for Gypsy and Traveller sites (which might have some negative effects in terms of a number of sustainability objectives), but rather simply says that when this occurs the sites should remain designated as Green Belt land. The only real effect of this Policy is in terms of protecting the integrity of the Green Belt, which is essentially a landscape/townscape designation. This Policy seeks to ensure that a dangerous precedent is not set regarding removing areas of land from the Green Belt. The danger is that such a precedent might lead to erosion of the Green Belt’s continuity over time. The rejected option OPT2 would have resulted in the disbenefits described above, and so would score worse in terms of sustainability. Recommendations None
Table 3.32: REJECTED OPTION OPT2 - If sites are allocated in the Green Belt under exceptional circumstances they should be removed from the Green Belt.
See reference to this rejected option in the assessment summary for option OPT1
Table 3.33: OPTION OPT3 - If additional sites are allocated at Chesterton Fen Road, the area west of Chesterton Fen Road should remain in the Green Belt
Summary This Policy does not have wide ranging sustainability implications as it does not directly consider issues surrounding development of sites in this location, nor issues surrounding the Green Belt as an appropriate location for Gypsy and Traveller sites in general (which might have some negative effects in terms of a number of sustainability objectives). Rather, it simply says that should this occur in the area west of Chesterton Fen Road the sites should remain designated as Green Belt land (in order to avoid pressure for alternative uses that might have a higher land value).
The key effect of this Policy is to seek to ensure that the needs of Gypsies and Travellers can be met. The Policy has been prepared in response to a specific identified issue in relation to this site, namely that should it be identified as appropriate for a Gypsy and Traveller site and removed from the Green Belt then it would be likely that there could be pressure for alternative uses with a higher land value. This could result in Gypsy and Traveller needs not being met. The rejected option OPT4 would have resulted in the disbenefits described above, and so would score worse in terms of sustainability.

Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 34
Recommendations None
Table 3.34: REJECTED OPTION OPT4 - If additional sites are allocated at Chesterton Fen Road, the area west of Chesterton Fen Road should be removed from the Green Belt.
See reference to this rejected option in the assessment summary for option OPT3
Table 3.35: OPTION OPT5 - Sites delivered through major developments should be within but on the edge of a development, or outside but in close proximity except in the Green Belt.
Summary Designing in Gypsy and Traveller sites on the edge of major new developments could result in a range of sustainability benefits. These are likely to be good locations in terms of meeting the needs of Gypsies and Travellers. In particular, it is thought that sites on the edge of major new development should afford Gypsies and Travellers to make use of the good range of new services and facilities that will be available and accessible to residents, including open space.
It should be possible to effectively design and integrate sites in so that potential negative effects are addressed. In the long term it is thought that any negative effects are likely to decrease, assuming that any Gypsy and Traveller site is well managed and good relations can be established between settled and travelling communities. It may be that designing in sites from the outset of major new developments gives greater opportunity for the development of trust, understanding and harmonious relationships. Recommendations 1) It will be important that the location and design of any Gypsy and Traveller site is an issue that is considered as part of any community led planning that is undertaken when masterplanning major new developments.
2) Explore the opportunity for Gypsies and Travellers to have access to appropriate employment within major new developments, including during the construction phase. This could be one benefit to establishing Gypsy and Traveller sites at an early stage of development
Table 3.36: OPTION OPT6 - The GTDPD should include a policy covering specific issues relating to the design and location of Gypsy and Traveller sites within or close to major developments, covering the following issues:
Summary This Policy identifies sites within or on the edge of major development sites as suitable for Gypsy and Traveller sites, and also includes a range of principles that should guide the identification of suitable locations and design of sites. It therefore has a range of sustainability implications.
This Policy states that sites in the Green Belt would not be appropriate, unless exceptional circumstances can be demonstrated. This should effectively protect the Green Belt, which is essentially a landscape/townscape designation.
The other major benefits are that sites at the edge of major development sites are likely to have good access to services and facilities by sustainable modes of transport; and that designing in
South Cambridgeshire District Council Sustainability Appraisal of the South Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller DPD Issues and Options 2
Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 35
sites from the outset of major new developments increases the chances of successful integration with the settled community. Some Gypsies and Travellers do have a preference for some detachment and rural locations, but this does not preclude suitably designed provision as part of major developments.
This Policy specifies that the site location should be compatible with its local environment as well as adjoining and / or nearby land uses. The Policy also states that the site location, design and layout should provide adequate safety, security and privacy for residents of the site and neighbouring uses. These stipulations should go some way to ensuring the satisfaction of both the settled and travelling communities with their neighbourhoods. Recommendations See recommendations associated with Policy OPT5 above.
Table 3.37: OPTION OPT7 - Major developments should be required to provide a specific number of pitches through the GTDPD, and how that number is split into individual sites should be left to masterplanning of the development.
Summary Allowing greater flexibility when designing in Gypsy and Traveller sites as part of Major New Developments should result in a range of sustainability benefits. It may be that it is easier to prevent negative effects in terms of landscape/townscape; and it may mean that Gypsies and Travellers can live in the most appropriate locations in terms of access to services and facilities. Furthermore, allowing greater flexibility when designing in Gypsy and Traveller sites should play an important role in terms of ensuring the satisfaction of the settled community with their new neighbourhoods and may lead to greater potential for successful integration between the settled and Gypsy and Traveller communities.
It is also important to consider the satisfaction of the Gypsy and Traveller community with their surroundings. The early work with the Gypsy and Traveller community has identified a preference for sites of up to 10 pitches in size. However, this Policy promotes a more flexible approach, but other policy will act to limit the size of sites to normally 15 pitches. Thus there could be potential for some degree of dissatisfaction from Gypsy and Travellers, although it is not clear that sites of 15 rather than 10 pitches will be a major problem. It is also important to consider that delivery of sites is important for needs to be met. This Policy may have the potential to increase the chances of successful delivery. Recommendations None
South Cambridgeshire District Council Sustainability Appraisal of the South Cambridgeshire Gypsy and Traveller DPD Issues and Options 2
Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 36
Table 3.38: OPTION OPT8 - Delivery of sites should be phased so that key services and facilities are available in a new development before Gypsy and Traveller pitches are completed.
Summary This option would ensure that a range of key services and facilities are available locally when a new site opens up for Gypsies and Travellers. It is likely that key services are likely to include health and education facilities, therefore ensuring the primary needs of Gypsies and Travellers can be met. This option could also help in terms of reducing car dependency. Recommendations None
Table 3.39: OPTION OPT9 - Gypsy and Traveller pitches should be delivered early in a development, so that sites are established before most of the development takes place but before key services and facilities are available.
Summary Bringing forward Gypsy and Traveller sites at an early stage of development could lead to some difficulties in terms of accessing key services and facilities if they are not available locally. However, it is not clear whether there would be a significant effect as it may still be possible for Gypsies and Travellers to access facilities that are further away by car (although this would possibly have the effect of fostering car dependency).
There may also be some benefits to bringing forward Gypsy and Traveller sites at an early stage of development. It is important to consider that putting Gypsy and Traveller sites in place at an early stage of development is likely to increase the chances of successful integration with the settled community; and, furthermore, there may be potential for Gypsies and Travellers to gain employment in construction (although this is uncertain at this stage). Recommendations None
Table 3.40: OPTION OPT10 - Policy CNF6 from the Local Plan 2004 should not be included within the Gypsy and Traveller Development Plan Document.
Summary Saved Policy CNF6 from the Local Plan 2004, which is an area-based policy relating to windfall sites in a particular location, does not meet the requirements of identifying specific site allocations for the delivery of an identified number of pitches and therefore would be less effective at meeting the housing needs of Gypsies and Travellers. There could be other sustainability benefits associated with identifying specific sites. In particular, it is thought that allocating a certain number of pitches to specific sites is important in terms of place-making. It is thought that an alternative approach (as promoted by rejected option OPT11) would be a less sustainable approach. Recommendations None

Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 37
Table 3.41: REJECTED OPTION OPT11 - Policy CNF6 from the Local Plan 2004 should be included within the Gypsy and Traveller Development Plan Document and continue to apply.
See reference to this rejected option in the assessment summary for option OPT10
Table 3.42: OPTION OPT12 - Policy regarding sites for Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople on unallocated land outside development frameworks:
SummaryPolicy addresses circumstances where windfall applications in the countryside may be acceptable, in the context of the wider GTDPD identifying sites to meet the need identified by the East of England Plan. The policy is likely to offer benefits in relation to conserving the character of existing settlements and the area by only allowing appropriately located sites. Similarly, it requires sites to be located with good access to a range of services and facilities by a range of transport modes and therefore there are likely benefits in relation to supporting travel by means other than the car and encouraging healthy lifestyle and travel choices. Requiring sites to be located in such places offers the potential to reduce social exclusion by ensuring that members of the Gypsy and Traveller community have access to a range of services and facilities.Recommendations None
Table 3.43: OPTION OPT13 - The GTDPD should include a policy regarding design of Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople sites (text detailed in plan document).
Summary The policy is concerned with the design and layout of Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling Showpeople sites and offers potential benefits in relation to providing sites with which residents are satisfied as a result of good design that meets the needs of all. The policy requires that residents and neighbouring uses are not affected by environmental pollutants such as noise, dust, fumes or lighting. The policy is also likely to offer benefits in relation to improving levels of recycling and recovery from Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling Showpeople sites through the provision of on-site storage and collection facilities. There are likely to be minor benefits in relation to improving accessibility for all as sites will be required to take account of the needs of residents and allow ease of movement. There are also likely to be benefits associated with meeting the needs of the travelling community through ensuring that each pitch provides appropriate areas for vehicles and amenity buildings. Other related benefits are likely to be secured by good location, which will be addressed by other policies in the DPD.
The policy requires all larger sites to provide a communal recreation area for children and for smaller sites to do the same where suitable provision is not available within safe walking distance. This has the potential to increase the quantity and quality of open space but will be dependent upon the type of recreation area provided on a site-by-site basis. Recommendations None

Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 38
Table 3.44: OPTION OPT14 - The monitoring indicators currently included in the Annual Monitoring Report are sufficient to monitor the performance of the Gypsy and Traveller DPD.
Monitoring is discussed in Section 3.6.
3.5 Summary of assessment findings 3.5.1 The SA has highlighted that perhaps the greatest factor that distinguishes between the
sustainability of the site options is there location in relation to a range of services and facilities. A number of the site options are located within major development sites. Such locations are likely to have good access to local services and facilities. It is also the case that most of the major development sites are likely to have good access to Cambridge, where it will be possible to access a greater range of services and facilities. The proposed sites in the Chesterton Fen area also benefit from being in relatively close proximity to Cambridge (although local services and facilities are more limited). Other sites will have access to more basic services and facilities in small villages such as Bassingbourn and Swavesey, or larger villages such as Willingham, but are more isolated from Cambridge. The assessment has recognised that it can not be taken for granted that Gypsies and Travellers will make full use of public transport and so become less dependent on the car. Rather, minimising the distance that must be travelled in order to reach services and facilities has been given considerable weight as a sustainability benefit.
3.5.2 There are likely to be other benefits to locating sites within major development sites. In particular, it is thought that this is likely to lead to the best chance of the sites ‘integrating well’ and a good relationship being established between Gypsies and Travellers and the settled community. It is thought that policy option OPT5 – which suggests that sites should be on the edge of major developments or outside but in close proximity - should support the successful integration of Gypsy and Traveller sites at major developments. It is also thought that policy option OPT6 – which relates to the design of sites that come forward as part of major developments – should also support successful integration.
3.5.3 Design of Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling Showpeople is an important factor more generally, particularly in terms of the well-being of Gypsy and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople and the satisfaction of the settled community with their local environment. It is thought that policy options OPT12 and OPT13 – both of which relate to design – should both successfully ensure that any potential problems are minimised and opportunities maximised. However, there are some local sustainability issues that cannot adequately addressed through good design. The assessment has highlighted that some of the locations do have significant constraints that may mean that they might be less suitable than alternative locations. For example, it is noted that some issues exist in relation to visual impact on the landscape/townscape, flood risk and location within areas of existing poor air quality.
3.5.4 To conclude, it is clear that this DPD is not being developed with a ‘lowest common denominator’ approach to meeting Gypsy and Traveller needs. Rather, it has been identified that there are opportunities within the District to locate Gypsy and Traveller sites where there is the potential for real benefits – in particular through exploring the potential at several major development sites, as well as other options around the district.

Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report June 2009 39
Cumulative effects
3.5.5 It is a requirement of the SEA Directive (Annex 1 (f)) to assess the cumulative impacts of the plan15. This assessment has not yet taken into account any potential cumulative effects. This is because it is currently uncertain which site options will come forward. There will be an opportunity to consider cumulative effects once the Council’s preferred site options have been identified.
3.6 Monitoring (B5) 3.6.1 The SEA Directive includes a specific requirement for monitoring the significant environmental
effects of plans and programmes and the Environmental Report (incorporated within this report) should include a description of the measures envisaged for doing so – see box below.
3.6.2 Monitoring measures are not proposed at this stage, but will be proposed once the Council’s preferred site options have been assessed and significant effects (which must be the focus of monitoring measures) can be identified with more certainty.
15 This includes synergistic and secondary effects under this definition.
The SEA Directive states that ‘member States shall monitor the significant environmental effects of the implementation of plans and programmes’.
Article 10, the SEA Directive ‘Monitoring allows the actual significant effects of implementation of the DPD to be tested against those predicted in the SA’.

4 What happens next? 4.1.1 The Issues and Options 2 Report will be subject to public consultation. This SA Report will also
be available for consultation, in order to allow stakeholders to gain a better understanding of the sustainability effects of the plan and therefore make a more informed consultation response.
4.1.2 It may be that new site options are submitted to the Council as part of the public consultation. If this is the case then these options will require due consideration and, possibly, lead to the need for further consultation. If this is the case then a further SA Report will be prepared to support the consultation. Once all options have been considered the Council will prepare a draft submission version of the DPD, which will also be consulted upon alongside an SA Report.
