Publication Draft 2019

Ref: (For Official Use Only)

COMMENTS (REPRESENTATION) FORM Please respond by 6pm Monday 30 September 2019. The Council considers the Local Plan is ready for examination. It is formally “publishing” the Plan to invite comments on whether you agree it meets certain tests a Government appointed independent Inspector will use to examine the Plan (see Guidance Notes overleaf). That is why it is important you use this form. It may appear technical but the structure is how the Inspector will consider comments. Using the form also allows you to register interest in taking part in the examination. All comments received will be sent to the Inspector when the plan is “submitted” for examination. Please email your completed form to us at If you can’t use email, hard copies can be sent to:

Planning Policy & Environment Team, Doncaster Council, Civic Office, Doncaster, DN1 3BU. All of the Publication documents (including this form) are available at: www.doncaster.gov.uk/localplan

This form has two parts: Part A – Personal Details and Part B – Your Comments (referred to as representations)

Guidance Notes (Please read before completing form) What can I make comments on? You can comment (make representations) on any part of the Doncaster Local Plan Publication Version and its supporting documents. These include: Sustainability Appraisal, Habitat Regulations Assessment, Topic Papers and other supporting technical (evidence base) documents. The full list of documents is available at: www.doncaster.gov.uk/localplan. However, this stage is really for you to say whether you think the plan is legally compliant and ‘sound’ (see below ). Do I have to use the response form? Yes please. This is because further changes to the plan are for a Planning Inspector to consider during an Examination in Public and providing responses in a consistent format is important. For this reason, all responses should use this response form. You can attach additional evidence to support your case – but please ensure it is clearly referenced and succinct. The Inspector will decide if further additional evidence is required before or during the Public Examination. For the inspector to consider your comments, you must provide your name and address with your response. Additional response forms are available online at www.doncaster.gov.uk/localplan Can I submit representations on behalf of a group or neighbourhood? Yes you can. Where there are groups who share a common view on how they wish to see the plan modified, it would be helpful for that group to send a single form that represents that view. In such cases the group should indicate how many people it is representing including a list of their names and addresses, and how the representation was agreed e.g. via a parish council/action group meeting, signing a petition, etc. It should still be submitted on this standard form with the information attached. Question 3 (below) – What does ‘legally compliant’ mean? Legally compliant means asking whether or not the plan has been prepared in line with statutory regulations, the duty to cooperate and legal procedural requirements such as the Sustainability Appraisal (SA). Details of how the plan has been prepared are set out in the published Consultation Statements and the Duty to Cooperate Statement, which can be found at: www.doncaster.gov.uk/localplan Questions 4/5 (below) – What does ‘soundness’ mean? Soundness means asking whether or not it is ‘fit for purpose’ and ‘showing good judgement’. The Inspector will explore and investigate the plan against the National Planning Policy Framework’s four ‘tests of soundness’1. These are:

• Positively prepared - the Plan should be prepared so it meets Doncaster's objectively assessed needs for housing and other development, including infrastructure and business development.

• Justified – the Plan should be based on evidence, and be an appropriate strategy for the Borough when considered against other reasonable alternatives.

• Effective – the Plan should be deliverable and based on effective joint-working on cross-local authority boundary matters as evidenced in a Statement of Common Ground.

• Consistent with national policy – the plan should enable sustainable development and be consistent with the Government's National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

Question 8 (below) – Do I need to attend the Public Examination? You can present your representation at a hearing session during the Public Examination but you should note that Inspectors do not give more weight to issues presented in person than written evidence. The Inspector will use his/her own discretion to decide who should participate at the Public Examination. All examination hearings will be open to the public.

1 Paragraph 35 of Framework: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-planning-policy-framework/3-plan-making

Part B Please complete this Part to make your comments. After this Publication stage, further submissions will only be at the request of the Inspector, based on the matters and issues she/he identifies for examination.

Dear Sirs,

DONCASTER COUNCIL EMERGING LOCAL PLAN 2015-2035

SITE 777: LAND TO THE SOUTH OF DONCASTER ROAD, HARLINGTON

Following receipt of [Planning Policy Officer] email dated 14 August 2019 confirming that the above detailed site has received support for a housing allocation in the Draft Local Plan; we have been instructed by the owners of the land to submit additional evidence to demonstrate the deliverability of the site for residential development and other considerations. Please find enclosed the following documents:

Site Ownership Plan Site Constraints & Opportunities Plan Proposed Access Arrangement Historic Maps Environment Agency Flood Map Annotated Photographs Barnburgh-Harlington Service Town / Village Plan (draft)

Ownership / Land Use

The site extends to approximately 2.35 hectares under title SYK381116, and is currently used as agricultural and pasture land. The owners of the site (R & I Richardson, MH Richardson and R Durdy) also own additional farmland within the local area. The proposed allocation for the site in the Barnburgh-Harlington Service Town / Village plan is for 66 units, which accords with a density of around 30 dwellings per hectare (the developable area is around 2 hectares due to the mains overhead power lines that run along the Southern boundary). There is no planning history relating to the site. There are currently several tenants occupying the site, primarily related to livery uses. None of the occupiers have formal tenancy agreements in place and would not, therefore, restrict any future development of the site. The landowners have indicated that the land could be made available for development immediately upon formal allocation (subject to the appropriate planning approvals.

Contamination

Any potential contamination issues resulting from the current use of the land would be dealt with through adequate remediation works prior to any development commencing. A desktop assessment of the historic maps of the area indicates that the site has been in agricultural use since at least the mid-19th Century. The surrounding area has also predominantly been in agricultural use during the same period, with a railway line constructed to the East of the site during the early 20th Century (now dismantled and redeveloped for residential and agricultural nursery use) and residential dwellings constructed to the North and West during the mid-20th Century. Given the historic / current use of the site and its immediate surroundings, it is highly unlikely that any ground contamination would be present. This would be confirmed through a full Phase 1 Ground Investigation submitted with any future planning application(s).

Highways / Access

A number of potential access points from the adopted highway are available along the Northern boundary of the site. The primary access point is expected to be towards the centre of the site, maximising the available visibility splays at the new junction – given the speed limit on Doncaster Road (30mph), 2.4x43m visibility splays are easily achievable – meeting the required distances set out in the South Yorkshire Residential Design Guide and national standards. It is also proposed that a 2.0m wide public footway to adoptable standards would be constructed along the adopted highway land adjacent to Doncaster Road (replacing the existing grass verge) as part of any future development, along with appropriate tactile crossing points. No public rights of way or bridleways cross the site.

Utilities

The site benefits from all major utilities being located within the adopted highway that runs along the Northern boundary, including mains water supply, mains sewerage, electricity supply, gas supply and broadband. Overhead electricity power lines cross the site adjacent to the Southern boundary, with a metal lattice support tower located in the South-West corner of the site. It is envisaged that a surface water pumping station will be required to deal with surface water discharge from the Southern end of the site, connecting with the existing Yorkshire Water pumping station located on the Western site boundary (connecting into the drainage network in Mill Lane).

Topography

The site generally slopes down from North to South (away from Doncaster Road). Strategies will need to be developed during any future site layout design stages to deal with the existing topography, although it is not envisaged that retaining walls or major structural works would be required.

Landscape

There are limited landscape features located within the site itself, other than fences and hedges that separate the agricultural fields; and no trees are located on the site (although a number of trees are located on land adjacent to the site). All of the boundaries of the site are defined by timber fences with mature hedges and trees.

Flood Risk

The land being put forward for residential use is almost entirely within Flood Zone 1 (with reference to the Environment Agency Flood Maps). A very small area portion of land in the South-West corner of the site is within Flood Zone 2, although due to the location of the main overhead power lines this area would not be included within the developable area of the site. The area immediately to the South of the site is classified as a flood storage area for the River Dearne.

Covenants

The landowners have checked with their solicitor and, as far as they are aware, there are no legal covenants or easements associated with the land that would prevent development.

Accessibility

The site is highly accessible, with excellent transport connection into Barnsley and Doncaster; and to the motorway network via the A1 (approximately 6 miles away). The 219 / 219A bus routes run along Doncaster Road feeding Barnsley and Doncaster every 30minutes – bus stops are located within 100m of the site. Within the village of Harlington is a shop and a public house, with a wide variety of additional facilities such as schools, medical centres, sports facilities, church, shops, cafes, public houses, a post office and a dentist within the settlement of Mexborough – around 7 miles away.

Should any further information be required or any clarification of the technical concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me (details below).

Yours Faithfully,

Where are new homes in Barnburgh-Harlington being proposed through the emerging Doncaster Local Plan?

How many new homes are being proposed?

The emerging Doncaster Local Plan, and its supporting evidence base, has identified Barnburgh-Harlington as one of 10 Service Towns/Villages in the borough. The Homes & Settlements consultation (March 2016) proposed a housing allocation to the village of 60 new homes over the plan period to 2032. The latest, and most up-to-date evidence base, still proposes a target for Barnburgh-Harlington of 60 new homes during this same timeframe.

What are the main physical and policy constraints to growth at the Village of Barnburgh-Harlington ?

Flood Risk – National policy states areas at risk of flooding should be avoided where possible. According to the Council’s Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (November 2015) the majority of Barnburgh-Harlington , and surrounding land, is not within an area of high (Flood Risk Zone 3) or medium (Flood Risk Zone 2) flood risk with the exception of an area of land to the south/south-west of the village where some land is medium-high flood risk. However, the maps do not take account of the presence of flood defences and how they may reduce flood risk to the Village. Other sources of flood risk, such as surface water flooding, must also be considered.

Green Belt – National policy only allows land to be taken out of the Green Belt in exceptional circumstances, for example if the homes target for the borough or a specific town could not otherwise be sustainably achieved. The Town is entirely surrounded by a tightly drawn Green Belt boundary as identified on the map via the green shading coupled with the DMBC boundary which runs along the western edge of Harlington. Please note, these are the current Green Belt boundaries as per the Unitary Development Plan and will need to be reviewed as part of the Doncaster Local Plan.

How many planning permissions already exist that will contribute towards the Villages’ housing need?

Some sites have already been built/approved for housing in the Village as at the base date of the Local Plan (1st April 2015) and will contribute towards Barnburgh-Harlington ’s housing requirement of 60 new homes therefore. The largest of these sites (i.e. sites which could provide at least 5+ new homes) are identified as green outline sites on the map and summarised below in Table 1; these sites are proposed to be allocated. National policy states that planning permissions are assumed to be deliverable sites unless clear evidence to the contrary.

There are also some smaller sites which have been built over the first 2 years of the plan period (1st April 2015- 31st March 2017) which are also being included in the overall numbers for Barnburgh-Harlington (but not shown on the map/summary table as they are too small to allocate). In summary, 9 of the 60 new homes have already been built or have planning permission already granted as at 1st April 2017.

How much more housing needs to be identified at Barnburgh-Harlington ?

Given the relatively small supply of new housing from completions on small sites and existing permissions 5+ units (9 new homes), compared with Barnburgh-Harlington’s housing growth requirement, there is a need to find enough sites for at least a further 51 new homes if the target is to be met.

What sites have been put forward to provide additional housing by landowners/developers and which are being proposed to be supported/rejected through the local plan?

There are a further 3 sites at Barnburgh-Harlington that have been considered through the site selection methodology process and shown on the map. A very brief summary of each, including why the site is either being proposed (identified on the map via an orange outline) or rejected (shown with a red outline) as a new housing site in the emerging local plan is provided in Table 2.

Are there any other sites being proposed for housing at the village?

At the time of writing, a further 2 sites have been promoted to the Council for consideration as housing sites, but were submitted too late to be included in the site selection methodology work so far. However, these have been shown on the map (grey outline) and comments on them are welcomed.

Where can I find more information about the site selection process?

This document provides a very brief summary of the evidence base that has informed the decisions on whether sites should be supported or rejected. Further information and detail therefore can be seen through the Site Selection Methodology & Results Report published alongside this consultation and available to view via: www.doncaster.gov.uk/localplan

I want to let the Council know now what I think about these proposals. How can I do this?

This engagement stage runs until Friday 26th October 2018. You can provide your comments and feedback to us via completing the Local Plan Draft Policies & Proposed Sites response form available to download via the following web-link: www.doncaster.gov.uk/localplan The response form provides all the relevant information for how you can return your comments to us or how you should contact us if you have any queries in respect to this stage, or any aspect of the emerging Doncaster Local Plan.

095 Hollowgate, Barnburgh

19 Rejected Housing Site - The site is greenfield, currently pastureland, and sandwiched between housing to the north and south. To the west is woodland, with a field to the east. This is a small site which is located entirely on top of a landfill site where there may be issues around the history of the site and its ground conditions/gas emissions therefore possible deliverability issues with developing the site for housing. Given this, it is not proposed to support the site for allocation, however the site is being proposed to be washed over with Residential Policy Area which would still allow small scale housing development to come forward if appropriate mitigation can be identified and subject to wider Development Management considerations.

143 Land North of Primary School, Church Lane, Barnburgh

51 Rejected Housing Site - The site is greenfield, currently utilised for agriculture, and slopes gently upwards to the north. To the north and west are residential dwellings, with fields to the east, and Barnburgh Primary School to the south. There is a less sensitive Green Belt site option available elsewhere at the settlement (reference 777) sufficient to deliver the Village’s housing requirement and significant negative effects through developing this site for housing in respect to built heritage and archaeology which may not be possible to resolve even with mitigation.

777 Plot 3, Harlington

66 Proposed Housing Site – The Green Belt Review finds a slight preference for site reference 777 over 143 in Green Belt purposes terms. In addition to this, site reference 777 performs stronger on Sustainability Appraisal compared to site reference143.
