2 South Worcestershire Development Plan Examination: Schedule of Proposed Modifications following Stage 1 of the Examination, arising from the Objective Assessment of Housing Need and Inspector s Further Interim Conclusions, March 2014 South Worcestershire Councils Version considered by South Worcestershire Councils on 30 th September 2014 Consultation runs from 6 th October 14 th November 2014 (ends at 5.00pm) NB/ all text shown as amended and policy numbers / table references etc. are taken from the original submission document (May 2013). Modifications not directly related to the uplift are not shown in this schedule for reasons of clarity. A further set of main modifications, including any identified through previous consultations, will be consulted upon at a later stage of the examination process. Any former modification relating to a policy or reasoned justification specifically referred to in this schedule is now effectively superseded. 1

3 A New Plan for South Worcestershire Table 1 PM1 Justification after Table 1 paragraph 97 AMEND the last two sentences of paragraph 97 after Table 1 as follows The implications of this new evidence have been considered and analysed in the Housing Background Paper. In summary, it has not been necessary to amend policy on housing provision. The implications of this new evidence and the conclusions and recommendations of the SWDP Inspector in the Further Interim Conclusions (notably paragraphs57 and 61) were considered and analysed in the Housing Background Paper 2012 and the Addendum As a result the scale of objectively assessed housing need for the plan period in South Worcestershire rose to 28,370. The housing provision target in SWDP 3 rose to 28,400 to match this need. There is no evidence of additional unmet housing need from outside South Worcestershire that must be accommodated in the plan area to add to the South Worcestershire need. To respond to the recommendation in paragraph 61 of the Further Interim Conclusions and the total projected dwelling requirement figures for as set out in paragraph 57 of the Further Interim Conclusions. To respond to evidence relating to the Objective Assessment of housing need. To be consistent with proposed changes to SWDP 3. SWDP 2 Development Strategy and Settlement Hierarchy PM2 SWDP 2 A REPLACE SWDP 2A ii. with the following ii. Phase development to maintain a rolling 5-year housing land supply to 2030; ii Provide for and facilitate the delivery of sufficient housing to meet objectively assessed needs to 2030; To be consistent with the Proposed Change to SWDP 2Aii which responds to the recommendation at paragraph 91 of the Inspector s Interim Conclusions on the Stage 1 Matters to delete the reference to phasing in SWDP 3 E (i.e. by deleting the SWDP2 A ii. reference to phase development.) To remove the unnecessary duplication of policy set out inswdp3 I by deleting 2

4 the reference to maintaining the 5 year housing land supply. The replacement clause provides certainty about the strategic focus for delivering sufficient housing plus the emphasis on meeting objectively assessed needs, and is subsequently expanded on in SWDP 3. PM3 SWDP 2Avii vii. With respect to scale and type, development will need to be commensurate with and appropriate to the size and characteristics of the host settlement. A location s capacity to assimilate change will be taken into account. Development should be of an appropriate scale and type (see part E below) and be informed by the Settlement Hierarchy set out below.. PM4 SWDP 2C The open countryside is defined as land beyond any development boundary 1 and the built form of the urban area, or land beyond the Worcester City administrative boundary 2. PM5 SWDP 2F With regard to development proposals, the scale must be proportionate to the needs and size of the settlement, local landscape character and / or location as well as the availability of community service infrastructure to accommodate it in a sustainable manner. The scale of development proposals must also enhance the local landscape character, PM6 SWDP 2 AMEND SWDP 2 by inserting the following after Part I J. The following three Sub Areas are identified to support the implementation of SWDP2, including policy set out in SWDP 3: The proposed revised policy was used in the assessment of new sites needed to meet the uplift in the OAHN. The proposed revised policy was used in the assessment of new sites needed to meet the uplift in the OAHN. The proposed revised policy was used in the assessment of new sites needed to meet the uplift in the OAHN. To provide certainty about the status of the three Sub-Areas within the development strategy policy by naming them in SWDP 2. This confirms the 1 2 Most allocations extend beyond the development boundaries, which have been carried forward from the former Malvern Hills and Wychavon Local Plans. Once detailed schemes for these allocations have been approved and work commenced, these will be treated as being within the development boundary for the purpose of this definition. The associated green infrastructure will then be treated as Local Green Network under SWDP 38. The allocated Worcester urban extensions are part of the open countryside until planning permission has been granted and development has commenced in accordance with SWDP45/1, SWDP45/2, SWDP45/3, SWDP45/4 and SWDP45/5, when they will be considered to form part of the urban area and therefore will no longer be considered to form part of the open countryside. 3

5 Wider Worcester Area Malvern Hills (excluding Wider Worcester Area) Sub Area Wychavon (excluding Wider Worcester Area) Sub Area. context for the Sub Areas concept applied in strategic SWDP 3, consistent with the reference to Sub Areas set out in the Justification to SWDP 3, and the Housing Background Paper (and Addendum) evidence, as noted in paragraph 83 of the Inspector s Interim Conclusions on the Stage 1 Matters. PM7 SWDP 2 - Justification following Paragraph 5 AMEND by inserting the following after paragraph 5 of SWDP 2 6. As a spatial plan, the SWDP sets out strategic policy that relates to places, unconstrained by administrative boundaries, SWDP 2 therefore identifies three separate Sub Areas that are mutually exclusive and together they cover the whole plan area. The Sub Areas are: the Wider Worcester Area (WWA) comprising Worcester City plus the urban extensions directly abutting the administrative area of the City the Malvern Hills (Excluding WWA) Sub Area comprising that part of Malvern Hills district outside of the Wider Worcester Area the Wychavon (Excluding WWA) Sub Area comprising that part of Wychavon district outside of the Wider Worcester Area. To provide the reasoned justification relating from the proposed change inserting SWDP 2J. This expresses the definition of the Sub Areas, and reflects the conclusions set out in both the evidence in the Housing Background Paper (and Addendum) and as summarised in paragraphs 82 to 85 of the Inspector s Interim Conclusions on the Stage 1 Matters. 7. The Sub Areas are the SWDP response to two strategic issues: a. Worcester City s built-up area is tightly constrained inside its boundaries. There is insufficient space in the City s administrative area to meet all its needs for development, especially housing. This is the driver for the concept of the Wider Worcester Area (WWA) enabling Worcester as a sub regional centre to grow beyond the City boundary, A share of Worcester s housing and employment need 4

6 is redirected to the Worcester urban extensions so that need is met on sites just outside and abutting its boundary, in both Malvern Hills and Wychavon. b. Because of natural and environmental constraints, Malvern Hills district has limited ability to accept new development. The Plan therefore proposes that that part of its housing need which cannot be met in the Malvern Hills (Excluding WWA) Sub Area be redirected in the first instance to the Wider Worcester Area (Malvern Hills) area. 8. As concluded by the Inspector for the SWDP examination, these arrangements are entirely in line with the approach suggested in Framework paragraph 179 to deal with situations where development requirements cannot wholly be met within an LPA s own area. SWDP 3 sets out further policy to implement this approach. SWDP 3 Employment, Housing and Retail Provision Requirement and Delivery PM8 SWDP 3D REPLACE the existing overall housing target for South Worcestershire with the following: Housing provision will be made for about 23,200 28,400 (net)... As recommended at paragraph 86 of the Further Interim Conclusions, Table 4b has been revised such that the South Worcestershire housing provision target is based on the recommendation in paragraph 61 of the Further Interim Conclusions and the total projected dwelling requirement figures for as set out in paragraph 57 of the Further Interim Conclusions. 5

The contribution that will be made towards improved infrastructure provision, including affordable housing. Delete paragraph 2 The SWDP s locally derived total housing provision target in SWDP 3 is based on the Worcestershire Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) The SHMA is the latest assessment of the full housing needs of the SWDP area. It provides robust, credible evidence on which to base the planned scale of growth in south Worcestershire. The SHMA developed scenarios of housing growth identifying the scale and mix of housing and the range of tenures that the local population is likely to need over the plan period that meet household and population projections. These were informed by national demographic and household projections, evidence on job growth and information about the local housing market. There is a difference between households and housing, which SHMA and the plan fully recognise. The housing provision calculations have taken vacancies, second homes and non-delivery into account. To provide consistency with the Proposed Changes to SWDP 3 made in response to the uplift in the housing need and the Further Interim Conclusions paragraphs 61 and 57. And to reflect the evidence, set out in the OAHN and the Housing Background Paper Addendum PM16 SWDP 3 justification paragraph 5 Delete paragraph 5 The Housing Background Paper (2012) sets out the detailed justification of the planned scale and distribution of housing development, including an improvement to the alignment of housing, jobs and the labour force.

And to reflect the evidence, set out in the OAHN and the Housing Background Paper Addendum

16 PM17 SWDP 3 justification paragraph 2, 5 PM18 SWDP 3 - Justification paragraph 3 REPLACE paragraphs 2 and 5 with the following: The SWDP s locally derived total housing provision targets in SWDP 3 Table 4b are based on the evidence in the SWDP Objective Assessment of Housing Need January 2014 and subsequent recommendations of the Inspector for the SWDP Examination on the objective assessment of housing need (OAHN). The latter identified the scale of the need for housing over the plan period. That replaced the 2012 SHMA as the latest assessment of the full housing needs of the SWDP area. It provided robust, credible evidence on which to base the planned scale of growth in south Worcestershire. The Addendum to the Housing Background Paper (2014) sets out the evidence providing the detailed justification of the planned scale and distribution of housing development, alignment of housing, jobs and the labour force. Delete paragraph 3 and replace with the following SWDP 3 plans for growth of about 23,200 for , which reflects the overall scale of housing growth associated with SHMA Sensitivity Scenario 2 (23,157 ). This policy target is in line with the SHMA evidence, which states that this scenario represents an upper limit for the partner authorities to consider when setting a housing target. To provide consistency with the Proposed Changes to SWDP 3 made in response to the uplift in the housing need and the Further Interim Conclusions paragraphs 61 and 57. And to reflect the evidence, set out in the OAHN and the Housing Background Paper Addendum To provide consistency with the Proposed Changes to SWDP 3 and respond to the uplift in the housing need and the Further Interim Conclusions paragraphs 61 and 57 PM19 SWDP 3 - Justification paragraph 3 (additional paragraph) SWDP 3 plans for growth of about 28,400 in South Worcestershire for the plan period 2006 to This policy target is in line with the conclusions and recommendations of the Inspector for the SWDP Examination. The rounded South Worcestershire housing provision target of about 28,400 reflects the OAHN s overall scale of housing need of 28,370. AMEND by inserting the following after paragraph 3: The OAHN is based on the evidence, being the mid point between the average of housing growth forecasts from two suites of jobs-led sensitivity scenarios (SENS2 and SENS3). These use a trendbased demographic growth scenario modified to take account of additional in-migration resulting from forecast employment growth. The scenarios of housing growth identified the scale of To provide consistency with the Proposed Changes to SWDP 3, to respond to the conclusions and recommendation in paragraphs 57 and 61 of the Further Interim Conclusions and to reflect the evidence, set out in 15

17 PM20 SWDP 3 - Justification paragraphs 4, 8 and 9 housing that the population is likely to need over the plan period. The housing growth forecasts underpinning those scenarios were informed by up to date national household and population projections. Taking full account of a range of up to date and representative job forecasts, the jobs led scenarios forecast population, household and housing growth consistent with delivering sufficient labour force to meet jobs growth, allowing for unemployment and commuting The housing growth forecasts also took vacancies and second homes into account. The OAHN had regard to information about the local housing market. and other market signals, Delete paragraphs 4, 8 and 9 and replace with the following Identifying sources of housing supply to meet this scenario has enabled the partner authorities to plan to meet the full, objectively assessed needs for market and affordable housing in the housing market area, as far as is consistent with the policies set out in the NPPF. The sources of supply identified in Table 4e exceed the total provision requirement target. On this basis there is no unmet need to address Unmet need from other areas outside South Worcestershire Neighbouring local planning authorities have provided no evidence of unmet housing need in their areas that needs to be met in south Worcestershire. No evidence has yet been provided that indicates forthcoming plan-making in those areas cannot accommodate their own needs or would result in unmet need that has to be provided for in the SWDP area. From an objective assessment of development requirements, the partner authorities conclude that the SWDP meets an appropriate level of unmet housing requirement to 2030 arising from more distant areas outside south Worcestershire (such as the West Midlands), which it is reasonable to accommodate within this plan area. South Worcestershire will continue to provide housing to accommodate substantial inmigration, but at levels consistent with sustainable development and an economic prosperity-led plan. the Housing Background Paper Addendum To provide consistency with the Proposed Changes to SWDP 3, to respond to the conclusions and recommendation in paragraphs 57 and 61 of the Further Interim Conclusions and to reflect the evidence, set out in the Housing Background Paper Addendum Unmet need from other areas outside South Worcestershire The housing provision targets in Table 4b relate to South Worcestershire needs. Those needs include substantial net in-migration forecast to 2030, including in-migration to achieve the 16

18 PM21 SWDP 3 - Justification paragraph 5 (additional paragraph) necessary uplift in labour force in the plan area. The targets do not make further provision for external need over and above the forecast migration taken into account in the population forecasts underpinning the OAHN. The partner authorities had no evidence of additional unmet housing need from outside this plan area that must be met in the SWDP area. Moreover, it has not been clearly established through any other LPA s Local Plan process that external unmet needs from outside South Worcestershire must be met through provision in the SWDP area. AMEND Justification - After paragraph 5 and the heading Sub-area housing provision targets and before paragraph 6, insert the following additional paragraphs SWDP 3 sets out spatial Sub Area and Area policies for housing targets and supply. Table 4b provides housing provision targets based on Sub Areas and Areas. The geography of those areas is defined in SWDP 2. The matching policy towards Sub Area housing supply is set out in SWDP3 Table 4e. Whilst the South Worcestershire OAHN housing need matches the SWDP3 Table 4b total housing requirement target, the Sub Area and Area targets in Table 4b differ from the individual district need figures provided by the OAHN 5. The SWDP is a joint plan that has been positively prepared. Through joint working and co-operation the Plan has redirected unmet need within the parts of the plan area and so addressed larger than local cross-boundary issues relating to the following: a) Worcester City s built up area is tightly constrained inside its boundaries. There is insufficient space in the City s administrative area to meet all the district need for development, especially housing. The target of 6,750 is based on the forecast supply of housing including future deliverable and developable sites to At the Wider Worcester Area (Worcester City) Area target is below the 9,830 Worcester City need identified in the OAHN. b) Because of natural and environmental constraints, Malvern Hills (Excluding WWA) Sub Area) has limited ability to accept new development. The target of 5,900 is based on the forecast supply To provide consistency with the Proposed Changes to SWDP 3, to respond to the conclusions and recommendation in paragraphs 57 and 61 of the Further Interim Conclusions and to reflect the evidence, set out in the Housing Background Paper Addendum To provide consistency with the Proposed Changes to SWDP 2, reflect the updated evidence on housing supply, including the Housing Background Paper Addendum 2014, and respond to the Interim Conclusions paragraph The Housing Background Paper Addendum 2014 provides justification and analysis of the Sub Areas provision and supply. 17

19 PM22 SWDP 3 - Justification paragraph 6 and 7 of housing including future deliverable and developable sites to 2030 that have been identified within the Sub Area. At 5,900, the policy provision target for the Sub Area is below the 8,590 Malvern Hills District stated in the OAHN. The SWDP relies on the SWDP 2 policy designation of the Wider Worcester Area (WWA) as the means to resolve both cross-boundary issues. The policy accords with the approach set out Framework paragraph 179 to deal with situations where development requirements cannot wholly be met within an LPA s own area. The Wider Worcester Area enables Worcester as a sub regional centre to grow beyond the City boundary, The scale of supply identified within the City (about 6,780 ) comes from completions, commitments, future small windfalls and allocations, Identification of the latter took account of site availability, the viability of delivering affordable housing and infrastructure, and material considerations such as the Green Belt, flood risk, heritage assets, the Local Green Network, and the need for employment land. The share of Worcester s need for housing that is unmet in the City (about 3,100 ) and part of the need for employment land (about 25ha) is redirected to the Worcester urban extensions so that need is met in the WWA on sites just outside the administrative boundary, in both Malvern Hills and Wychavon (policy SWDP 3H). Replace paragraphs 6 and 7 with the following The sub-area targets in Table 4e differ from the district figures in SHMA Sensitivity Scenario 2 6. At 4,900, the policy provision for Malvern Hills (outside the Wider Worcester Area) is below the housing level based 7,500 in that scenario The scale of growth of the Plan s sub-areas has been moderated by the need to respect key natural and environmental assets. Redirection of approximately 2,600 of the Malvern Hills housing requirement has been necessary because of limited opportunities for urban growth in Malvern Hills District. This is due to constraints on the development of Greater Malvern and in Malvern Vale resulting from their proximity to the Malvern Hills AONB and the need to protect the AONB from adverse environmental impacts of extensive, concentrated urban development nearby. Other material considerations were taken into account, such as the viability of delivering affordable housing and To provide consistency with the Proposed Changes to SWDP 3, to respond to the conclusions and recommendation in paragraphs 57 and 61 of the Further Interim Conclusions and to reflect the evidence, set out in the Housing Background Paper Addendum To provide consistency with the Proposed Changes to SWDP 2 and in 6 The Housing Background Paper provides justification and analysis of the Sub Areas provision and supply. 18

20 infrastructure. The SWDP has been positively prepared though joint working and this co-operation has addressed larger than local cross-boundary issues relating to housing. This enabled the unmet housing requirement of Malvern Hills to 2030 to be met within the plan area by redirecting and absorbing its displaced housing requirement within the Wider Worcester Area and in Wychavon. The displaced 2,600 are divided approximately evenly between these two sub-areas. One benefit of this approach is that it provides an opportunity to damp down the historic trend of large-scale net in-migration into the Malvern Hills area (which has put pressure on that local housing market) by making alternative provision at more sustainable locations elsewhere in the SWDP area that can accommodate the displaced requirement. The SWDP addresses the consequences of accommodating the displaced Malvern Hills requirement, including: The need to provide employment opportunities at major urban extensions accommodating part of the displaced demand, in order to reduce the need to travel. It acknowledges the need for transport infrastructure and services to enable the labour supply to access employment in Malvern Hills. A meaningful proportion of the affordable housing in the Worcester South and West Urban Extensions will meet affordable housing need from Malvern Hills. The need to co-ordinate services provided by the county and district councils and other providers to support communities in the wider Worcester area. response to the updated evidence on housing supply, including the Housing Background Paper Addendum 2014, and in response to paragraph 84 of the Inspector s Interim Conclusions on the Stage 1 Matters. The Malvern Hills (Excluding WWA) Sub Area target has been based on supply consistent with a scale of growth in the Sub Area which reflects the need to respect key natural and environmental assets. This also avoided generating a level of rural dispersal that would be at odds with the SWDP strategy. Other material considerations were taken into account, such as site availability and the viability of delivering affordable housing and infrastructure. Redirection of approximately 2,700 Malvern Hills need was necessary because of limited opportunities for urban growth in Malvern Hills District. This is due to constraints on the development of Malvern resulting from proximity to the Malvern Hills AONB and the need to protect the AONB from adverse 19

21 environmental impacts of extensive, concentrated urban development nearby. In setting and justifying the housing provision targets, the displaced housing need from the Sub Area has been redirected in the first instance to that part of Wider Worcester Area situated within Malvern Hills District. Approximately 300 unmet need has been redirected to Wychavon (Excluding WWA) Sub Area, to locations with the strongest existing economic linkages. This approach enables the Malvern Hills housing need to be met within the plan area. One consequence of this approach is that by accommodating 30% of the OAHN need outside the Sub Area it provides the potential to damp down the historic trend of large-scale net in-migration into the Malvern Hills settlements in the Sub Area which has put pressure on that local housing market. The SWDP addresses the consequences of accommodating the redirected unmet Worcester need and the displaced Malvern Hills need at the Worcester urban extensions, including: a) The need to provide employment opportunities at major urban extensions which accommodate most of the redirected and displaced unmet housing need, in order to reduce the need to travel. b) Priority for investment in a package of transport infrastructure and services to enable the labour supply to access employment in the City and in Malvern Hills. c) A meaningful proportion of the affordable housing in the Worcester South and West urban extensions will meet affordable housing need from Malvern Hills. d) The need to co-ordinate services provided by the county and district councils and other providers to support communities in the wider Worcester area.

The plan includes an allowance for the potential release of housing that is achieved as extra-care / high care package housing is developed and occupied. Unlike that are inherited, which do not result in a net increase in the release of Use Class C3, the development of this extra-care housing has the effect of creating additional local capacity, but this is only counted the first time that occupants move from their houses into extra-care accommodation. Only high-care package extra-care housing is taken into account in calculating this type of housing release. The Framework makes clear that local planning authorities should identify and bring back into residential use empty housing and buildings, in line with local housing and empty homes strategies. No specific allowance for net additional housing supply from bringing empty homes back into use is made for this in SWDP 3. Any future empty homes strategy and evidence relating to the means to support delivery may enable a future SWDP review to take this potential supply source into account in line with national guidance. Delete paragraph 29 (from the third sentence to the end) and replace with the following: Additional work on urban capacity for the city, including an allowance for small windfalls, has demonstrated that the number of delivered through development that can be accommodated within the city boundary can be increased to about 5,400 homes, plus an allowance for about 150 empty homes brought back into use and about 100 released as households move into extra care homes with higher care packages. At 3,925 the scale of urban extension allocations for the Wider Worcester Area is sufficient to address the revised requirement for 9,400 from 2006 to Additional work on urban capacity for the city, including an identification of housing allocations, commitments and completions plus an allowance for small windfalls, has demonstrated that the number of delivered through development that can be accommodated within the city boundary can achieve about homes in the plan period.

PM37 SWDP 3 - Justification paragraph 33 Delete paragraphs 33 and 34, 5-year housing land supply calculations will be produced annually for each sub-area plus Worcester city. Separate and non-transferable housing provision in the policy means that any shortfall identified against the 5-year housing land supply in one sub-area will not be met elsewhere in the SWDP area. Detailed evidence is set out in the Housing Background Paper. That evidence demonstrates how the plan can maintain a rolling 5-year supply with either a 5% or 20% buffer brought forward from the end of the plan period, taking into account the site allocations in the plan. The residual method used to calculate the 5-year housing land supplies is robust. The Housing Background Paper demonstrates why this method is used in preference to other models. The NPPF does not require the SWDP to provide a land bank at the end of The housing trajectories will be monitored and updated on an annual basis through the Annual Monitoring Report and also through roll-forward and further reviews of the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA).

This enables the LPAs to comply with Framework paragraph 49. Separate and non-transferable housing provision in the policy means that any shortfall identified in the five-year housing land supply against any Area sub total will not be met elsewhere in the SWDP area. Detailed evidence is set out in the Housing Background Paper Addendum That evidence demonstrates how the plan can maintain a rolling five-year supply with either a 5% or 20% buffer brought forward from the end of the plan period, taking into account the site allocations and other supply components in SWDP 3 Table 4e. The Housing Background Paper Addendum demonstrates that for the purposes of plan preparation there was no evidence of persistent underdelivery in Worcester city and so using the residual ( Liverpool ) method to calculate the five-year housing land supply was appropriate for Worcester City. The residual method was also appropriate for the Wider Worcester Area due to the site specific phasing of Worcester urban extensions. Even after applying the Sedgefield approach to the Malvern Hills (Ex WWA) and to the Wychavon (Ex WWA) Sub Area, the evidence demonstrated how a rolling five-year supply with a 20% buffer can be maintained. The forward looking 5 year supply position declines at the end of the plan period but this is because the Framework does not require the SWDP to provide a land bank at the end of The plan review is the correct mechanism for identifying supply after The housing trajectories will be monitored and updated on an annual basis through the Annual Monitoring Report and also through roll-forward and further reviews of the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). This will also provide the evidence to justify whether each LPA should use the residual or Sedgefield approach in the future. Annual monitoring will include monitoring applicants evidence which they use to demonstrate the extent to which their proposed housing development will contribute to the five year deliverable housing land supply.

To clarify that opportunities for intensifying existing sites (not just physical expansion) will be assessed. Also, that the policy relates equally to Travelling Showpeople. To remove ambiguity and add clarity, applications should meet the criteria. To add clarity. Planning consent should specify the number of pitches / plots that are being granted planning permission. In the past, some consents have merely related to a household or number of caravans and it has not been clear how many pitches or plots have been granted consent. 86

88 PM247 SWDP 17 justification paragraph 1 PM248 SWDP 17 justification paragraph 2 PM249 SWDP 17 Table 5 National Planning Policy requires for Traveller Sites (2012) states that local planning authorities to should set pitch targets for Travellers and plot targets for Travelling Showpeople that address the likely permanent and transit site accommodation needs of Travellers in their area, working collaboratively with neighbouring local planning authorities. National planning policy also requires says that local planning authorities to should set out criteria to provide a basis for the allocation of sites and to identify sufficient deliverable sites to provide a 5-year supply when measured against locally set targets. 2. A The Worcestershire Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment for the South Housing Market Area (which includes South Worcestershire) was published in The Assessment addressed the accommodation needs of gypsies, travellers and travelling showpeople published in 2014 It identifies the need following requirements for additional permanent residential traveller pitches, Travelling Showpeople plots and transit pitches in the County in the period between 2014/15 and 2033/ Within south Worcestershire, the need identified in the GTAA in the five years to 2018/19 Temporary Stopping Places for the period from 2008 up to 2013 is set out in Table 5 below: Insert new Table 5 (delete original): Table 5: Need for Permanent Traveller Pitches, Travelling Showpeople Plots and Transit Pitches 2014/ /19 (source: Worcestershire Gypsy & Traveller Accommodation Assessment, 2014) Permanent Traveller Pitches Permanent Travelling Showpeople Plots Transit Pitches To reflect Planning Policy for Traveller Sites (March 2012) To reflect the 2014 GTAA. To reflect the findings of the 2014 GTAA Malvern Hills Worcester Wychavon

89 PM250 SWDP 17 justification Insert new paragraphs The GTAA identifies an overall shortfall of 5 permanent Traveller pitches across south Worcestershire in the period to 2018/19. The identified need is primarily in Wychavon where there is a requirement for nine pitches. Malvern Hills and Worcester have sufficient capacity to cover identified needs up to 2018/19. For Travelling Showpeople, the GTAA identifies no overall additional need for plots across south Worcestershire in the period to 2018/19. The GTAA identified a number of vacant pitches (particularly in Wychavon) and opportunities for the intensification or limited expansion of a number of existing sites in Malvern Hills and Wychavon. Whilst the GTAA does not identify a need to plan for large strategic Traveller or Travelling Showpeople sites in the period to 2018/19, it recommends that the south Worcestershire authorities assess the suitability of proposals and planning applications for smaller sites as they arise against criteria-based planning policies. The GTAA also recommends that provision be made for a minimum of five transit pitches and suggests that the south Worcestershire authorities liaise with a view to providing a shared facility for dealing with future unauthorised encampments. The GTAA indicates a desire amongst Travellers for a mixture of Council / Registered Social Landlord (RSL) - managed sites and private sites. The GTAA also identifies the likely longer-term requirement for pitches and plots, covering the period 2019/ /34. The longer-term requirements, based on expected household formation rates, are set out in Table 6.

SWDP 45 allocates up to 20 pitches through the identification of small sites (up to ten pitches) at Worcester West Urban Extension and in or adjacent to the Worcester South Urban Extension as outlined in SWDP 45. The precise location of these sites will be identified through detailed masterplanning of the urban extensions. At the masterplanning stage, it will also be determined whether the sites on the urban extensions will be to meet Malvern Hills, and / or Worcester s or Wychavon s pitch requirements. although there is a working assumption that one site a minimum of 10 will be allocated to meet Malvern Hills each of the three authorities requirements. and a minimum of 10 will be to meet Worcester s need.

Planning Policy for Traveller Sites and CLG s Good Practice Guide on Designing Gypsy and Traveller Sites (2008) suggest that, where possible, sites should be developed near to housing for the settled community as part of mainstream residential developments. Planning Policy for Traveller Sites also says that new traveller site development in open countryside that is away from existing settlements should be strictly limited and that that any sites in rural areas should respect the scale of, and not dominate the nearest settled community. 16. Planning Policy for Traveller Sites highlights the importance of good access to health services and schools to ensure that children can attend school on a regular basis. CLG s Good Practice Guide on Designing Gypsy and Traveller Sites (2008) also says that it is essential that sites have access to water, electricity, drainage and sanitation. 5. Provision to meet the net requirement for additional pitches in Malvern Hills and Worcester will be determined through Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Site Allocations Development Plan Documents in those local authority areas that will be subject to further consultations. 6. For the period , the evidence is only a guide until a further local need assessment is undertaken, when an alternative level of provision may need to be provided for. The updated needs assessment will inform the number of pitches required for the period In the light of a further local needs assessment, further analysis will be undertaken on a south Worcestershire basis to determine where future sites may be located To reflect 2014 GTAA.

PM260 SWDP 17 Justification paragraph 8 8. The provision of transit sites and temporary stopping places is considered to be inappropriate on two grounds. Firstly, transit sites are likely to generate pressure for the pitches to be occupied on a more permanent basis (for which they will be unsuitable as a more basic level of service provision is acceptable for transit pitches). Secondly, there is a temporary toleration policy that is operated within the county that enables the need to be accommodated in the shorter term without the formal provision of temporary To reflect 2014 GTAA 91

In addition to permanent residential pitches for Travellers, the Interim Policy Statement identified an additional requirement for 22 plots for Travelling Showpeople within Worcestershire for the period For the period beyond 2012 the Interim Policy Statement recognised the difficulties of predicting requirements over a longer period and did not indicate a specific plot requirement for south Worcestershire as a whole.
