1. Introduction

1.1 This consultation statement has been prepared to fulfil the legal obligations of the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012 in respect of the Laxfield Neighbourhood Plan (LNP).

1.2 The legal basis of this Consultation Statement is provided by Section 15(2) of the 2012 Neighbourhood Planning Regulations, which requires that a consultation statement should:

contain details of the persons and bodies who were consulted about the proposed neighbourhood development plan;

explain how they were consulted; summarise the main issues and concerns raised by the persons consulted; and describe how these issues and concerns have been considered and, where relevant addressed

in the proposed neighbourhood development plan.

1.3 The policies contained in the LNP are a result of extensive engagement and consultation with residents of Laxfield as well as other statutory bodies. Work has involved a household questionnaire, a young adults questionnaire, and a number of public meetings and consultation events at appropriate stages during the preparation of the plan.

2. Background to the Preparation of the Neighbourhood Plan 2.1 In 2018 the Parish Council decided, as a result of research carried out towards the end of 2017, that

there was clear evidence that parishioners believed it was important to develop a Neighbourhood Plan for the Parish.

2.2 A Working Party of the Parish Council was formed in February 2018, comprising Parish Council representatives and also, importantly, other volunteers who live in the parish. Following a community consultation event in July 2018, a number of themes were identified as matters that should be addressed in the Neighbourhood Plan:

Settlement pattern and spatial policy Housing demand and development opportunities Built environment and design Natural environment Amenities and services Businesses, employment and makers Transport, infrastructure and distribution links

2.3 Laxfield Parish Council, for purposes of the Localism Act, is the “qualifying body” and has prepared

the plan with the assistance of a working group of volunteers and supported by Places4People Planning Consultancy. This has been assisted by grant funding from the Government Neighbourhood Planning Grant Initiative via Locality, for which the Parish Council is grateful.

3. How the plan was prepared and the consultation process

3.1 The Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Government’s Neighbourhood Planning Regulations and, in particular, has involved considerable local community engagement to gather evidence for the content of the plan and later inform the plan’s direction and policies. The content of the Neighbourhood Plan has been generated and led by the community and shaped by results of surveys and drop-in events, to ensure that the Neighbourhood Plan reflects the aspirations of the community.

Neighbourhood Area Designation

3.2 The Neighbourhood Plan Area, covering the whole of the parish, was designated by Mid Suffolk District Council in February 2018. The designated area is illustrated on the map below.

6

Initial Engagement - March-June 2018 3.3 Initial engagement and consultation activity included meetings and workshops with community

groups and representatives from other relevant organisations to discuss the development of a Neighbourhood Plan for Laxfield, and to gain an initial understanding of the concerns and aspirations of local people. These included:

Bell ringers group Allotment holders Horticultural Society Walking Group Museum Village Hall Committee Church and Chapel

Primary and High Schools Pre-school Village pubs Over-60s lunch session Annual Parish Meeting Community Feast

‘Living Laxfield’ public event – 7th July 2018 3.4 A drop-in event held in the Village Hall, with displays and people available to answer questions,

giving residents the opportunity to explore and discuss issues relating to seven themes which had been developed from the previous consultation activity. This generated a valuable collection of views which informed the household questionnaire and fed into the plan itself. The feedback from the event can be found on Evidence page of the Neighbourhood Plan website.

Parish questionnaires – October 2018

3.5 All households received an invitation for household members to participate in either a Household or a Young Adults questionnaire, available online or as hard copy. The questionnaires were entirely anonymous, apart from a randomly generated ID for each response. The forms were analysed via a software package provided by Community Action Suffolk, which allowed the results to be produced in a number of different ways. Free text input from respondents was also encouraged. The outcomes are available on the Evidence page of the Neighbourhood Plan website.

7

Public consultation event – 4th May 2019 3.6 The event was laid out as a series of themed tables, complete with survey findings, maps,

photographs and drawings, to illustrate many of the assets the village already has and how some elements might be developed. Members of the Neighbourhood Planning Group and other willing helpers were on hand to discuss the different topics and take notes about the discussions. The outcomes are available on the Evidence page of the Neighbourhood Plan website.

Public consultation event – 12th October 2019

3.7 The primary focus of this event was the policies that it was proposed would be included in the Neighbourhood Plan, although of course the supporting material was also available to set the policies in context. The outcomes are available on the Evidence page of the Neighbourhood Plan website.

Regulation 14 Pre-submission Consultation

3.8 On 13th January 2020 the formal Pre-submission Draft Plan was approved for publication by the Parish Council. A statutory consultation period of 6 weeks and 2 days was initiated on Saturday 22nd February, ending on Monday 6th April 2020. At the start of the consultation, all the statutory Regulation 14 consultees (as advised by Mid Suffolk District Council) were consulted. The full list of bodies consulted is shown in Appendix 1 and the letter used to notify them is included at Appendix 2.

How we publicised the consultation 3.9 The consultation period began with a drop-in session and exhibition held in the Village Hall on

Saturday 22nd February 2020 from 10am until 4pm. Flyers promoting the event (illustrated in appendix 3) were delivered to every household, and a large notice was posted on the railings outside the Church; it was also advertised on the Parish Council notice boards and website, in the Parish Magazine, at the Community Market and on social media. The session was very well-attended, with many people spending a considerable amount of time studying the displays and asking questions; a number completed their consultation responses at the event. Display boards summarised the content of the Plan and provided details of all the planning policies, and copies of the draft Neighbourhood Plan were available to read. Copies of the pre-submission draft display boards are shown at Appendix 4.

3.10 A series of further events was arranged in February and March at different times and venues around the village so that anyone who had been unable to attend the initial launch had further opportunities to consider the display material and ask questions before completing their response forms. Three of the five events actually took place; the remaining two were cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

3.11 The Draft Plan and the display material was made available on the Neighbourhood Plan pages of the Parish Council website together with the supporting documents that had been prepared to inform the content of the Plan. A comments form, included at Appendix 5, was also devised and available for completion throughout the consultation period, either online or in paper format. Paper copies of the Plan were available on loan and hard copy comments forms were made available for those who did not have access to these online.

3.12 Details of the responses received during the pre-submission consultation period are detailed in the table in Appendix 6 below. The table also includes the response to the comments and what changes were made as a result of the comment. Appendix 7 identifies all the changes made to the Pre-Submission Plan to form the Submission Plan.

Ongoing publicity and community engagement 3.13 During the whole Neighbourhood Plan development process, there has been regular publicity,

awareness raising and community engagement. Updates have been published in the monthly Parish Magazine and presented at Parish Council meetings, and on the Parish Council noticeboard. Residents and those with an interest in the Plan were welcome to attend Working Group meetings throughout the development process.

Glossary Affordable housing: Social rented, affordable rented and intermediate housing, provided to eligible households whose needs are not met by the market. Eligibility is determined with regard to local incomes and local house prices. The definition also includes “starter homes”.

Archaeological interest: There will be archaeological interest in a heritage asset if it holds, or potentially may hold, evidence of past human activity worthy of expert investigation at some point. Heritage assets with archaeological interest are the primary source of evidence about the substance and evolution of places, and of the people and cultures that made them.

Biodiversity: Describes the range and variety of living organisms within an ecosystem. It can include all living organisms, plants, animals, fungi and bacteria and is often used to indicate the richness or number of species in an area. Such an area can be defined at different levels across the globe or be limited to a local area such as a parish.

Building of Local Significance: Locally important building valued for its contribution to the local scene or for local historical situations but not meriting listed status.

Conservation (for Heritage Policy): The process of maintaining and managing change to a heritage asset in a way that sustains and, where appropriate, enhances its significance.

Community Infrastructure Levy: A levy allowing local authorities to raise funds from owners or developers of land undertaking new building projects in their area.

Development Plan: This includes adopted Local Plans and Neighbourhood Plans as defined in section 38 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

Green infrastructure: A network of multi-functional green space, urban and rural, which is capable of delivering a wide range of environmental and quality of life benefits for local communities.

Habitat: The natural home of an animal or plant often designated as an area of nature conservation interest.

Heritage asset: A term that includes designated heritage assets (e.g. listed buildings, world heritage sites, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, protected wreck sites, registered parks and gardens and battlefields) and non-designated assets identified by the local planning authority. Non-designated heritage assets include sites of archaeological interest, buildings, structures or features of local heritage interest listed by, or fulfilling criteria for listing by, the local planning authority.

Hinterland Village: Defined in the Babergh Core Strategy (2014) as villages that tend to be small, with very limited facilities and so are dependent on nearby larger villages or urban areas for many of their everyday needs.

Historic environment: All aspects of the environment resulting from the interaction between people and places through time, including all surviving physical remains of past human activity, whether visible, buried or submerged, and landscaped and planted or managed flora.

Infrastructure: The basic physical and organisational structures and facilities (e.g. buildings, roads and power supplies) necessary for development to take place.

International, national and locally designated sites of importance for biodiversity: All international sites (Special Areas of Conservation, Special Protection Areas, and Ramsar sites), national sites (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) and locally designated sites including Local Wildlife Sites.

Local planning authority: The public authority whose duty it is to carry out specific planning functions for a particular area which in this case is Babergh District Council.

Local Plan: The plan for the future development of the district, drawn up by the local planning authority in consultation with the community.

Neighbourhood Area: The Neighbourhood Area is that which the Neighbourhood Plan covers. It normally covers a whole parish and is formally designated by the local planning authority upon request of the Parish Council.

Neighbourhood Plan: A plan prepared by a Parish Council or Neighbourhood Forum for a particular Neighbourhood Area (made under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004).

Open space: All open space of public value, including not just land, but also areas of water (such as rivers, canals,

123

lakes and reservoirs) which offer important opportunities for sport and recreation and can act as a visual amenity.

Renewable and low carbon energy: Includes energy for heating and cooling as well as generating electricity. Renewable energy covers those energy flows that occur naturally and repeatedly in the environment – from the wind, the fall of water, the movement of the oceans, from the sun and also from biomass and deep geothermal heat. Low carbon technologies are those that can help reduce emissions (compared to conventional use of fossil fuels).

Rural exception sites for affordable housing: Sites for affordable housing development in rural locations where market housing would not normally be acceptable because of planning policy constraints. Homes can be brought forward on these sites only if there is a proven unmet local need for affordable housing and a legal planning agreement is in place to ensure that the homes will always remain affordable, will be for people in housing need and prioritised for those with a strong local connection to the Parish.

Setting of a heritage asset: The surroundings in which a heritage asset is experienced. Its extent is not fixed and may change as the asset and its surroundings evolve. Elements of a setting may make a positive or negative contribution to the significance of an asset, may affect the ability to appreciate that significance or may be neutral.

Significance (for heritage policy): The value of a heritage asset to this and future generations because of its heritage interest. That interest may be archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic. Significance derives not only from a heritage asset’s physical presence, but also from its setting.

Site of Special Scientific Interest: Sites designated by Natural England under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

Starter Homes: The Housing and Planning Act 2016 provides the statutory framework for the delivery of starter homes. The Act defines starter homes as new homes costing up to £250,000 (£450,000 in London), to be available at a minimum 20% discount on market value to eligible first-time buyers.

Strategic Environmental Assessment: A procedure (set out in the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 as amended) which requires the formal environmental assessment of certain plans and programmes which are likely to have significant effects on the environment.

Wildlife corridor: A wildlife corridor is a link of wildlife habitat, generally native vegetation, which joints two or more larger areas of similar wildlife habitat, Corridors are critical for the maintenance of ecological processes including allowing for the movement of animals and the continuation of viable populations of plants and animals.
