Torfaen County Borough Council Local Development Plan (To 2021)

Statement of Further Focused Changes December 2012

Introduction As agreed by Extraordinary Council on 21st February 2012, the Council consulted on a first set of Focused Changes on the Deposit Torfaen LDP between Monday 2nd April and Friday 18th May 2012, which included the proposed deletion of the South Sebastopol Strategic Action Area and a corresponding reduction in the LDP overall housing and affordable housing targets (FC16a-16r). All representation received were subsequently forwarded to the LDP Inspector, Mr Barry Juniper BSc DipTP MRTPI for his consideration. The LDP was submitted to the Welsh Government / Planning Inspectorate (WG/PINS) on 16th May 2012. However, upon preliminary consideration of the submitted documents, the LDP Inspector held an Exploratory Meeting on 24th July 2012 as he had several concerns mainly regarding the impacts of removing the South Sebastopol SAA from the Plan and the need to allocate land to meet the accommodation needs of Gypsy & Travellers in the County Borough. Because of these issues the LDP Inspector, in his decision letter of 2nd August 2012, suspended the LDP examination and recommended that the Plan be withdrawn. Therefore, at the Extraordinary Council meeting on 23rd October 2012, the Council resolved to reverse Focused Changes 16a-16r which sought to delete South Sebastopol from the LDP and revert to the original Deposit LDP position as being the Council‟s final position with regard to this site.

At the subsequent Extraordinary Council meeting on 20th November 2012 the Council resolved to allocate a Gypsy & Traveller site at the Former Race AFC football pitch in Cwmynyscoy and a replacement football pitch nearby as Further Focused Changes to address the LDP Inspector‟s other major concern. The Council also took the opportunity to agree several other Further Focused Changes, which had arisen since the LDP was submitted for examination, to improve the soundness of the Plan. The LDP Inspector has been informed of these decisions; and on 29th November 2012 he wrote to the Council stating that he will resume the LDP examination from Monday 3rd December 2012. However, the LDP Inspector also expressed a strong preference for the Council to only consult on Further Focused Changes relating to South Sebastopol and the Gypsy & Traveller issue; with the other Further Focused Changes agreed by Extraordinary Council on 20th November being considered during the hearing sessions in Spring 2013. Therefore, the Council has accepted the LDP Inspector‟s preference and is now only consulting upon: -

FC46a-46g relating to the consequential changes of reinstating the South Sebastopol SAA6, clarification on matters relating to the overall LDP housing numbers and the affordable housing target; and the need for a Monitoring Framework for the site and these consequential changes; and

FC47a-47b relating to the proposed new Gypsy & Traveller site at the Former Race AFC Football Pitch, Cwmynyscoy, Pontypool; and

Fc48a-48b relating to the proposed new playing field under LDP Policy CF6 at the Eastern Fields, Cwmynyscoy, Pontypool.

The Council has also published 4 associated Minor Amendments for information. (Details of all of the above report, letters and associated documents can be found on the Council‟s LDP website)

Sustainability Appraisal

A Sustainability Appraisal (SA) has been undertaken on the Further Focused Changes and Minor Amendments; the findings of the appraisal are set out in a separate document. Making a Representation

The Council is undertaking 7½ weeks consultation on the Further Focused Changes between Monday 3rd December 2012 and Wednesday 23rd January 2013. The Council would welcome your views. Representations should be made on the appropriate representation form which can be downloaded from the Planning Policy webpages of the Council website (www.torfaen.gov.uk) or are available from the Council‟s Ty Blaen Torfaen Office in New Inn, or can be provided directly to you by the Planning Policy Team.

Where you wish to make representations to more than one Further Focused Change, you must use a separate form for each representation. Representations must be received by 5pm on the 23rd January 2013. Late representations will not be accepted.

The Further Focused Changes consultation is not an opportunity for representors to add to their original representation. Comments should only relate to the Further Focused Changes highlighted in this document.

Change Proposed Reasons for Change

FC46a H4 Delete FC26a and replace with originally recommended focused

change (FC25a) from the 21st February 2012 Council report in

relation to the overall affordable housing need. Therefore, the first

part of Policy H4 on „Affordable Housing‟ should be amended as

follows: -

“In order to achieve a target of approximately 1,100 891 affordable

homes within Torfaen over the period 2006 2010-2021, …”

Given the Council has reverted back to

the 5,000 dwelling target over the Plan

period (from 4,310 in the 1st set of

housing target needs to be amended

accordingly

FC46b 9.5.2 Delete FC26c and replace with originally recommended focused

change (FC25c) from the 21st February 2012 Council report in

relation to the overall affordable housing need. Therefore, LDP

Paragraph 9.5.2 should be amended as follows: -

“The Joint Local Housing Market Assessment (LHMA) 2010 Update

carried out for Torfaen, Newport and Monmouthshire Councils found

a need for 32% of all the new housing remaining to be delivered in

the respective LDP‟s to be affordable. Taking Torfaen in isolation

and ignoring all cross boundary movements, Torfaen’s need would

be 51% of all new housing within its LDP to be affordable. In which

case, of the remaining 4,197 LDP target to be delivered 2010-2021

this would equate to a need for 2,140 affordable dwellings. However,

when When taking the more appropriate regional based need of

32% into account, of the above 4,197 5,000 LDP target this would

equate to a need for 1,343 1,600 affordable dwellings in Torfaen by

between 2006 and 2021. Part of the difference between the regional

target and Torfaen target is due to a surplus of intermediate housing

in Newport.”




Focused Changes) the overall

affordable housing need will need to be

amended accordingly

FC46c 9.5.3 Delete FC26d and replace with originally recommended focused

change (FC25d) from the 21st February 2012 Council report in

relation to the affordable housing target and associated information.

Therefore, LDP Paragraph 9.5.3 should be amended as follows: -

“However, stakeholder consultation has agreed that Torfaen‟s

affordable housing need cannot be met by planning obligations

alone. This is mainly due to the economic viability of sites, which

varies across the County Borough; the lack of WAG WG Social

Housing Grant and the overall level of growth achievable in the LDP.

Taking this into account, it is estimated that the LDP is likely to

deliver approximately 891 1,100 affordable dwellings between 2006

and 2021 during 2010-2021, out of the 4,197 5,000 new dwellings

expected to be built over this period. This equates to a 21.2% 22%

provision of affordable housing.”




Focused Changes) the affordable

housing target and associated

information needs to be amended

accordingly

FC46d Monitoring Framework

Inclusion of new monitoring framework for the South Sebastopol Strategic Action Area (SAA6) as shown in Appendix 1

Given the Council has reinstated the South Sebastopol SAA back into the LDP a monitoring framework is required for the site.

FC46e Monitoring Framework

Insertion of policy SAA6 (South Sebastopol Strategic Action Area) in the list of „Supporting Strategic Action Policy‟ under LDP Objectives 1, 2, 16 & 17.

Given the Council has reinstated the South Sebastopol SAA back into the LDP the monitoring framework needs to reflect the contribution the site makes to the delivery of several of the LDP objectives.

FC46f Monitoring Framework

LDP Objective 16 - As the housing target is now 5,000 not 4,300 dwellings, the Pontypool & Cwmbran Housing Sub Market Areas housing targets and associated Core Output C2 Indicators need amending; see Appendix 2 for details.

Given the Council has reverted back to the 5,000 dwelling target over the Plan period (from 4,310 in the 1st set of Focused Changes) the dwelling targets for the three housing sub-market areas need correcting.

FC47a H7 & 9.8.1

FC29 be withdrawn and LDP Policy H7 and paragraph 9.8.1 be amended as follows: -

H7 Gypsy and Traveller Site Allocations

The following sites is are allocated for additional Gypsy and Traveller accommodation up to 2021: -

H7/1 - Rose Cottage Gypsy and Traveller Site, Cwmynyscoy, Pontypool for 10 permanent pitches; and H7/2 - former Race AFC Football Pitch, Cwmynyscoy, Pontypool for up to 32 permanent pitches.

9.8.1 The Torfaen Gypsy and Traveller Study identifies Studies (published in 2009, 2011 and 2012) identify that there are currently three four permanent Gypsy & Traveller sites in Torfaen, all of which are in need of improvement. The latest 2012 Study recognises that there is also a need, dependant on pitch turnover, for a further 20 - 30 42 permanent pitches and a total of 2 transit pitches in the County Borough up to 2021. However, given previous rates of pitch turnover, it is expected that the need will be nearer 20 pitches. and a transit facility in the South-East Wales sub-region. The Study identifies an area within the current owner of the Rose Cottage Gypsy & Traveller site which the owner proposes to redevelop an area within the site for approximately an additional 10 permanent pitches. In addition, the Council is proposing to develop up to 32 permanent pitches on the former Race AFC football pitch and to redesign the Shepherds Hill Gypsy & Traveller site which will provide the 2 transit pitches. Other permanent site(s) may need to be identified once the future of the Council owned Sheppard‟s Hill site, which is subject to instability from previous shallow coal workings, has been clarified. The Council has advocated that a

To make provision in the LDP for the accommodation needs of Gypsy & Travellers.

regional study should be carried out to assess the need and location for a transit site within the sub-region.

FC47b Monitoring Framework

Change the Gypsy & Traveller pitch target under LDP Objective 16 and associated Local Output Indicator L34 to: -

Provision of 20 - 30 42 new Gypsy & Traveller pitches between 2011-2021.

The LDP is now planning for between 20 and 42 permanent Gypsy & Traveller pitches in the County Borough up to 2021 (rather than for 20 -30 pitches).

FC48a New Policy CF6

Allocation of land known as the „Eastern Fields, Cwmynyscoy‟ as a playing field in a new Policy CF6 as follows: -

CF6 New Playing Field Land is allocated at the Eastern Fields, Cwmynyscoy for a

new Playing Field, as shown on the Proposals Map.

Policy Justification

The Council has allocated land at the former Race AFC football field in Cwmynyscoy for a Gypsy & Traveller site, This site has been allocated in order to allow a replacement football pitch to be provided nearby.

Supporting Objectives: 2 & 4

To make alternative provision for the former Race AFC football pitch which has been allocated for Gypsy & Traveller site.

FC48b Monitoring Framework

Add policy CF6 (new playing field on the „Eastern Field, Cwmynyscoy) to the list of „Supporting Topic Based Policies‟ under LDP Objective 2.

The Monitoring Framework needs to reflect the allocation of the new playing field on the „Eastern Field, Cwmynyscoy under new Policy CF6.

Policy / Paragraph

Amendment Proposed Reason for Amendment

MA26 5.5.1 Delete minor change MA7a and replace with originally recommended minor change MA7a from the 21st February 2012 Council report in relation to overall housing numbers in LDP Paragraph 5.5.1 as follows: -

The LDP Strategy has justified the 5,000 dwelling target. The reason for making an approximate 20% over-allocation, thus taking the total for allocated dwellings to approximately 6,000 is to help ensure a range flexibility and choice of sites in the range of housing sites to deliver the 5,000 target,; maximise regeneration opportunities; allow for demolitions to be added to the dwelling requirement; and to provide flexibility in the LDP Strategy should the housing market improve. allow for flexibility if there is a significant uplift in the housing market, catering for a potential additional demand for new housing over and above the 5,000 target identified for the period 2006-2021. Demolitions are not accounted for in the final over-allocation calculation. Similarly,

Given the Council has reverted back to the 5,000 dwelling target over the Plan period (from 4,310 in the 1st set of Focused Changes) the overall housing numbers need to be amended accordingly

MA27 4.2.51 Delete minor change MA17 and replace with originally recommended minor change MA17 from the 21st February 2012 Council report with regards to LDP Paragraph 4.2.51 as follows: -

4.2.51 …The South Sebastopol Strategic Action Area, The British Strategic Action Area, Mamhilad Strategic Action Area and Llantarnam Strategic Action Area local/neighbourhood centres will be determined by their respective development frameworks and subsequent planning permissions have been allocated by the Plan but have yet to be built. Once they have been built they will become part of Torfaen’s Retail Hierarchy.

Given the Council has reinstated the South Sebastopol SAA back into the LDP previous MAs which deleted reference to the site in the LDP will need reversing.

South Sebastopol Strategic Action Area

Site Description

… The South Sebastopol Development Framework was produced by TCBC in 2004 establishing the broad form and structure of development for this Strategic Action Area. A revised Development Brief and Design and Access Statement was produced for the site in January 2011. …

Housing Numbers

Resolution to grant planning permission for 1,200 dwellings (subject to the signing off of the Section 106 Agreement) was agreed in 2005. As of 1st April 2010, the Section 106 Agreement had still to be finalised. The Council were informed by the developers at the Council‟s July 2010 Joint Housing Land Availability Study meeting that the ecology work originally prepared for this scheme is currently being reviewed, with a refreshed planning application due to be submitted during the early part of 2011. Development is anticipated to start on this Strategic Action Area by 2013. A refreshed planning application was refused by the Council on the 27th of September 2011 (planning application reference 01/P/05525) relating to matters of detailed landscape and highways considerations rather than the principal of development for the whole site. An appeal has been lodged which is to be considered in January 2013. If the appeal is allowed it is likely development on the site can commence 2013/2014, subject to a revised planning application being approved by the Council.

Phasing

Based upon the information agreed at the Council‟s and WAG‟s annual Joint Housing Land Availability Study (JHLAS) meeting for 2010 and the Council‟s best estimates, it is was initially anticipated that 690 dwellings will be built on this Strategic Action Area over the LDP period, with 240 dwellings to be completed 2011/2012 to

LDP previous FCs which deleted reference to the site in the LDP will need reversing.

2015/2016, with the remaining 450 to be completed 2016/2017 to 2020/2021. Due to the refreshed application being refused by Council and the continuing impact of the recession, it is now anticipated that the phasing for this site will be put back, however it is still considered by the Council that the site will deliver 690 dwellings over the LDP period.

It is now considered that 25 dwellings will be delivered on this site 2013/2014, 75 dwellings will be delivered per annum 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 and 110 dwellings will be delivered per annum over the LDP period remaining 2017/2018 to 2020/2021.

It is considered that in this instance, due to proximity of this Strategic Action Area to both Cwmbran and Pontypool, that the housing development will partially serve both the Cwmbran and the Pontypool Housing Sub-Market Areas. Therefore it is not considered unreasonable to allocate 25% of the dwellings (equating to 173 dwellings over the LDP period) within the Pontypool Housing Sub-Market Area with the remaining 75% (equating to 517 dwellings over the LDP period) allocated within the Cwmbran Housing Sub-Market Areas. This is split into the following phasing plan over the LDP period:

Time frame

Housing Sub-Market Area

2006/2007 -2010/2011

2011/2012 - 2015/2016

2016/2017 - 2020/2021

Cwmbran 0 180 131 337 386

Pontypool 0 60 44 113 129

…

Risks in Site Delivery

It is considered that the housing element of this scheme can be delivered over the phased LDP period as detailed above. However there are always risks in delivering a scheme, those of which for this Strategic Action Area are listed below:

Delivery is reliant on the refreshing of the current planning application, with a revised planning application to be submitted and

approved. approval of a planning application during the middle part of the LDP period. If this process is delayed or not completed, then development could be put back to a later date or halted completely. However further work is currently ongoing by the developers in liaison with the Council in order to bring this Strategic Action Area forward. it is considered that this site is deliverable and the number of dwellings allocated for this site can be delivered over the LDP period.

MA29 LDP Appendix 11 Housing Table

MA22 previously added Appendix 11 a „Table of Housing Allocations‟ to the LDP However, this table did not include South Sebastopol in the calculations of housing numbers. Therefore, an amended housing table which includes South Sebastopol is attached at Appendix 3.

Given the Council has reinstated the South Sebastopol SAA back into the LDP the Housing Table at Appendix 11 will need updating accordingly.

Torfaen HMSA out of the small sites delivered 2006-2010 for the entire County Borough

(44/170), multiplied by the 300 small sites figure remaining. The 300 small sites remaining

calculation is evidenced in Paragraphs 5.33 to 5.37 of the LDP Housing & Population

Background Paper.

This figure was calculated as the proportion of the small sites delivered 2006-2010 for the

Pontypool HMSA out of the small sites delivered 2006-2010 for the entire County

Borough (78/170), multiplied by the 300 small sites figure remaining. The 300 small sites

remaining calculation is evidenced in Paragraphs 5.33 to 5.37 of the LDP Housing &

Population Background Paper.

This figure was calculated as the proportion of the small sites delivered 2006-2010 for the

Cwmbran HMSAs out of the small sites delivered 2006-2010 for the entire County

Borough (48/170), multiplied by the 300 small sites figure remaining. The 300 small sites

remaining calculation is evidenced in Paragraphs 5.33 to 5.37 of the LDP Housing &

Population Background Paper. 78 138 85

Windfall sites remaining 2011 - 2021

This figure was calculated as the proportion of large sites built 2006-10 plus permitted sites to

April 2010 for the North Torfaen HMSA (69+233=302) out of the large sites built 2006-2010 plus permitted sites to April 2010 for the

entire County Borough (302/1,331). This proportion was then multiplied by the 289 windfall

figure remaining, which is evidenced in Paras 5.38 - 5.42 of the Housing & Population

Background Paper, to give the number of windfalls remaining for this HMSA.


April 2010 for the Pontypool HMSA (257+324=581) out of the large sites built

2006-2010 plus permitted sites to April 2010 for the entire County Borough (581/1,331).

This proportion was then multiplied by the 289 windfall figure remaining, which is evidenced in Paras 5.38 - 5.42 of the Housing & Population

Background Paper, to give the number of windfalls remaining for this HMSA.


April 2010 for the Cwmbran HMSAs (307+141=448) out of the large sites built

2006-2010 plus permitted sites to April 2010 for the entire County Borough (448/1,331).

This proportion was then multiplied by the 289 windfall figure remaining, which is evidenced in Paras 5.38 - 5.42 of the Housing & Population

Background Paper, to give the number of windfalls remaining for these HMSAs.

OVER ALLOCATION WHEN COMPARED TO HOUSING NEED FIGURE

Equates to total dwellings identified minus housing need for this HMSA (i.e. 857-675). The over allocation percentage is calculated as the number of dwellings allocated over and above the identified need, as a proportion of the total

housing need identified (i.e. 182 as a proportion of the 675 housing need).

Equates to total dwellings identified minus housing need for this HMSA (i.e. 2,128-1,752 2,301-1,925). The over allocation percentage

is calculated as the number of dwellings allocated over and above the identified need,

as a proportion of the total housing need identified (i.e. 376 as a proportion of the 1,752

1,925 housing need).

Equates to total dwellings identified minus housing need for these HMSAs (i.e. 2,390-

1,883 2,907-2,400). The over allocation percentage is calculated as the number of

dwellings allocated over and above the identified need, as a proportion of the total

housing need identified (i.e. 507 as a proportion of the 1,883 2,400 housing need).

Demolitions remaining 2011 - 2021 (calculated pro rata for housing sub market areas out of estimated 135 remaining in total)

This figure was calculated as the proportion of dwellings demolished 2006- 2010 for the North

Torfaen HMSA out of the total number of dwellings demolished 2006-2010 for the entire

County Borough (9/52). This proportion was then multiplied by the 135 demolitions remaining over

the LDP Period (as taken from 52 demolitions having taken place over 4.25 years, therefore

divided by 4.25 years to give an estimated total for 1 year, then multiplied by 11 year LDP period

remaining) to give the number of demolitions remaining for this HMSA.

This figure was calculated as the proportion of dwellings demolished 2006- 2010 for the

Pontypool HMSA out of the total number of dwellings demolished 2006-2010 for the entire County Borough (6/52). This proportion was

then multiplied by the 135 demolitions remaining over the LDP Period (as taken from 52 demolitions having taken place over 4.25 years, therefore divided by 4.25 years to give

an estimated total for 1 year, then multiplied by 11 year LDP period remaining) to give the number of demolitions remaining for this

HMSA.

This figure was calculated as the proportion of dwellings demolished 2006- 2010 for the

Cwmbran HMSAs out of the total number of dwellings demolished 2006-2010 for the entire County Borough (37/52). This proportion was

then multiplied by the 135 demolitions remaining over the LDP Period (as taken from 52 demolitions having taken place over 4.25 years, therefore divided by 4.25 years to give

an estimated total for 1 year, then multiplied by 11 year LDP period remaining) to give the number of demolitions remaining for these

HMSAs.
