Page 7: AGENTS’ FORUM

Local validation checklists• Addresses common problems that can delay

applications, 28% invalidity (Householder, Full, Outline and Listed Building)

• Explains Sheffield requirements and National.• Based on CLG 2010 guidance.• The Forum discussed the information required to

demonstrate proposed ground and floor levels in 2009.

Coal Mining Risk Assessments

Page 9: AGENTS’ FORUM
Page 10: AGENTS’ FORUM

Main risks in Sheffield• Mine entries• Shallow workings • Former surface mining sites where restoration

methods may not have been to modern standards or is not fully known

• Coal Authority has mapped higher risk areas

Link to Coal Authority guidance and map of 'Coal Mining Development Referral Areas'

Page 11: AGENTS’ FORUM

When is a CMRA required?

• In areas of higher risk (Coal Mining Development Referral Areas) -

where the proposed ground works, excavations, and/or design and layout

- may need to be amended prior to the application being determined

Page 12: AGENTS’ FORUM

A CMRA is not required for:

• Householder planning applications

• Other minor development where:– design or layout are unlikely to be affected– the applicant may want to defer any

consideration to a later stage

• On the former site of Tinsley Park opencast, where coal mining risks were removed as part of the operations.

C-Plan option for Sustainability Statements

• An online tool all Yorkshire and Humber LPAs are considering

• Helps applicants submit energy and sustainability statements

• Traffic light system makes it easy for applicants and officers see if a development is complying with policy requirements

• Could help some applicants, minimising the need for expert advice and long written statements

• Possible alternative or supplement to Sustainability Statement (not a validation requirement)

C-Plan – initial findings

• Can demonstrate compliance with 10% renewables• Perhaps develop a sustainability check list as well• Need to avoid duplication of BREEAM, Code for

Sustainable Homes and SAP energy calculations • Applicants want flexibility (LF and others)

Stage 1:– give details or commitments – explain where can’t complyStage 2:– provide missing details in response to condition(s)

Page 19: AGENTS’ FORUM

C-Plan – agents’ views

• Ted Tunnicliffe (Tatlow Stancer) & Laura Fitzgerald (DLP) attended a presentation with officers- Ted can give his comments shortly

• Still developing with C-Plan• Possible April full implementation• Aim to pilot with a couple of schemes• Laura Fitzgerald (DLP):

“Overall I think it is a useful tool. Whether it is simple enough to use in practice and avoids the need to instruct an energy consultant will be the test as to its success.”
