5. Plan Review So Far Issues Paper consultation from the 5 th October to the 16 th November 2015 Call for sites Production of Evidence Base Reviews underway Parish Council workshop 4 th May 2016

6. Plan Review So Far The Issues Paper looked at: Amending the Spatial Strategy (i.e. the amount and location of new development) Lower Housing and Employment Targets But a sensible approach to review of allocated sites and consideration of new sites New detailed housing policies (including for Gypsies and Travellers)

7. Plan Review So Far The result of the consultations – some headlines: Concern from the Development Industry that our proposed figure of 454 dpa is not high enough General support for employment land figures A wide variety of views regarding development in rural areas

8. Plan Review So Far Call for sites Around 60 sites submitted to us 24 sites are new sites (not previously identified) 13 sites in the Nottingham-Derby Green Belt 34 in and around main towns and villages We are now carrying out assessments of these sites

9. Plan Review So Far Updating the Evidence Base Work underway on the major evidence base elements, including Infrastructure and retail. Problems getting consultants interested in doing the work have led to some delays

10. Preferred Approach Due to time constraints we have decided to split consultation on the Preferred Approach to the Plan Review into three documents: Preferred Approach – Strategy Preferred Approach – Strategy currently out to consultation until the 23 rd September Preferred Approach – Settlements & Sites Preferred Approach – Town Centre & Retail Preferred Approach – Settlements & Sites consultation on this and Preferred Approach – Town Centre & Retail to begin at the end of the month.

11. Preferred Approach – Strategy Includes: Spatial Strategy including Housing and Employment targets Housing Policy including affordable housing and gypsy and traveller housing requirements Minor Changes to Spatial and Core Policies

12. Preferred Approach – Strategy Spatial Strategy Housing Target Options – PA for 454 dwelling per annum Employment Target Options – PA 83.06 Ha Inclusion of Thoresby Colliery as a Strategic Site Consequential changes to distribution of growth

13. Preferred Approach – Strategy Thoresby Colliery Proposed Mixed Use development of Housing, Employment and Leisure uses Will require a change of the balance of development in the District Would require re-designation of Edwinstowe as a Service Centre Would require infrastructure improvements to support the development

16. Preferred Approach – Strategy Spatial Policy 3 Rural Areas Three Options – Named Villages in the Hierarchy, retain current approach or amend SP3. Preferred Approach – Amend SP3 Change the locational and need criteria to facilitate residential development

17. Preferred Approach – Strategy Location – new development should be within the main built-up areas of villages which have sustainable access to Newark Urban Area, Service Centres or Principal Villages and have a range of local services themselves which address day to day needs. Local services include but are not limited to Post Office/shops, schools, public houses and village halls; Need –New housing where it helps to support community facilities and local services and reflects local need in terms of both tenure and house types; Within the main built up area of settlements which do not meet the locational criterion of this policy but are well related to villages that do, consideration will be given to the infilling of small gaps with 1 or 2 dwellings so long as this does not result in the joining of outlying areas into the main built up areas of the village in question or the coalesence with another village. Such development will need to comply with the scale, need, impact and character criteria of this policy.

18. Preferred Approach - Strategy Spatial Policy 4 – Green Belt Amendments to clarify: No new Green Belt Review Which policies apply to which villages excluded from the Green Belt No limited infilling in other locations in the Green Belt

19. Preferred Approach – Strategy Affordable Housing Changes in Government policy mean that we will not be able to ask for 30% Social Rented and Intermediate housing (e.g. Shared Ownership, Discounted Market for sale) Affordable Housing Nor ask for Affordable Housing on small sites below 11 dwellings. 20% of new homes must be ‘Starter Homes’ which are homes that have a one-off 20% discount on market value.

20. Preferred Approach – Strategy PA – Affordable Housing Policy Area Overall % Starter Homes % Other Tenure Types Area 1 – Sherwood & Mansfield Fringe 30% 20% 6% Affordable Rent 4% Intermediate Area 2 – Central Newark & Sherwood 40% 12 % Affordable Rent 8% Intermediate Area 3 – Newark and South District 30%6% Affordable Rent 4% Intermediate

21. Preferred Approach – Strategy

22. Gypsy & Traveller Housing Targets New government guidance has resulted in a change to the way that Gypsy & Travellers who no longer travel are counted, resulting in lower pitch targets: Time PeriodPitch requirementMethod of delivery 2013-201814 pitches Planning permission granted for 4 permanent pitches. Allocations, permanent planning permissions or availability of lawful pitches for a minimum of 10 pitches by 2018 2018-202315 pitches Allocations or availability of lawful pitches to provide a minimum of 15 pitches by 2023 2023-202811 pitchesProvision of sites, in and around settlements central to delivering the Spatial Strategy.

23. Preferred Approach – Strategy Amendments are proposed to many of the other Spatial and Core Policies other than the ones mentioned above. Core Policies relating to Town Centre and Retail issues and the Area Policies will be tackled in later consultations
