1.0 Introduction

1.1 This LDS has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Planning and
Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The LDS has two main functions:

1. To identify the current planning policy documents that are being applied in
Nuneaton and Bedworth.
2. To provide a three year project plan that outlines how and when the existing
planning policy documents will be reviewed and replaced.

1.2 Reflecting these functions the document is divided into the following sections:

Existing Planning Policy
Section 2 of the document provides an overview of the existing planning policy
documents and guidance that cover the Borough. This section also includes
information on the status of the documents during the transition to the LDF
system.

Documents to be Prepared Under the LDF System
Section 3 outlines the type and function of the documents that the Council will
produce within the LDF System.

Supporting Statement
Section 4 explains how documents within the LDF interrelate and in turn how the
LDF itself integrates with other strategies and plans. The evidence base for the
documents in the LDF is discussed along with the Sustainability Appraisal work
that will be required. A programme for monitoring and reviewing documents, the
political framework for the approval of documents, the resources available and an
assessment of the risks associated with the delivery of the LDS are also identified.

1.3 As is required by the 2004 Act, this LDS will be reviewed on an annual basis. Any
revisions to the Scheme as a result of the review will be submitted to the Secretary of
State. Copies of the LDS along with any revisions will also be available on the
Councils website.

2.0 Existing Planning Policy Documents

2.1 The following gives an overview of the key planning documents that cover Nuneaton
and Bedworth to create the current Development Plan for the Borough. The list
includes those documents prepared by other authorities.

Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS)
The West Midlands RSS (previously Regional Planning Guidance) provides a
regional context for planning in Nuneaton and Bedworth. Prepared by the West
Midlands Regional Assembly, a three staged review of the document commenced
in Autumn 2005. Details of that review are outlined in table 1 below.

Table 1: Review Phases of Regional Spatial Strategy

Warwickshire Structure Plan (WASP)
The Warwickshire Structure Plan 2001, produced by Warwickshire County
Council, sets out strategic land use policies for Warwickshire. Under the post
2004 system, the Structure Plan policies were saved until September 2007. After
September 2007 all but 5 of the policies in the WASP expired. Policies saved for
longer are:

GD7 Previously Developed Sites
I2 Industrial Land Provision
T10 Developer Contributions
TC2 Hierarchy of Town Centres
T7 Public Transport

Minerals and Waste Local Plans
Warwickshire County Council has also produced a Minerals (1995) and Waste
(1999) Local Plan for the County, both of which were saved until 2007. After
September 2007 only the following policies were saved:

Minerals Local Plan
M1 Areas of Search and Preferred Areas
M4 Sand and Gravel Extraction in the Context of Landbanks
M5 Sterilisation of Mineral Reserves
M6 Considerations and Constraints Affecting Mineral Extraction
M7 Mitigation and Planning Conditions/Agreements
M9 Restoration of Mineral Workings
M10 Monitoring of Mineral Sites

Waste Local Plan
1. General land-use
3. Landfilling

Under the post 2004 system the Minerals and Waste Plans will be replaced by a
Minerals and Waste Development Framework. A timetable for the preparation of
these documents is outlined in the Minerals & Waste Development Scheme which
is available to download at www.warwickshire.gov.uk.

Nuneaton and Bedworth Local Plan 2006
The Nuneaton and Bedworth Local Plan was adopted on 28
th
June 2006. The
Plan was saved in its entirety for three years, until June 2009. Since June 2009
only the policies listed below remain part of the Development Plan for the
Borough.

Supplementary Planning Guidance
To support policies in the Local Plan the Council has produced and adopted
Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG). Under the post 2004 system SPG
6

cannot be saved or converted into Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs).
However, where the SPG can be linked to a saved policy within the adopted Local
Plan, and has undergone the same adoption process required for a SPD, the SPG
can have status as a material consideration. Appendix A lists the Councils
existing SPG which have status as a material consideration.

3.0 Local Development Framework

3.1 Listed below are the types of documents the Council will produce under the LDF
system. Further details about the status, purpose and timetable for the preparation of
the documents is summarised in appendix B and C and considered in detail in
appendix D.

Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)
The SCI (adopted December 2006) sets out how and when the local community,
stakeholders and other interested parties will have the opportunity to become
involved in the preparation of LDDs and in the determination of planning
applications. The statement also sets out how the Council intends to facilitate this
involvement above the minimum standards set by the Government in order to
meet the particular needs of the Borough.

Local Development Documents (LDDs)
The LDDs the Council will produce can be divided into two categories;
Development Plan Documents (DPDs) and Supplementary Planning Documents
(SPDs).

Development Plan Documents (DPDs)
DPDs will have the same weight and status as the current adopted Local Plan.
Production will involve formal consultation with the community, stakeholders and
other interested parties in accordance with the SCI. The documents will also be
the subject of an independent public examination by the Planning Inspectorate.
The Council will be required to accept the recommendations made in the
Inspectors final report.

Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)
SPDs provide more detail on particular policies within DPDs. SPDs are not
subject to independent examination and do not form part of the development plan.
They are however a material consideration in the determination of planning
applications.

3.2 The Council will produce the following types of DPDs:

Core Strategy
The Core Strategy will set out the vision, spatial strategy and core policies for the
Borough. The Core Strategy is required to have a lifespan of at least 10 years.
The Nuneaton and Bedworth Core Strategy will have a lifespan of 14 years,
covering the period from adoption to 2026 to coincide with the revised RSS.

7

Site Allocations DPD
The Site Allocations DPD will identify non-strategic development sites in
accordance with the principles, vision and objectives outlined in the Core Strategy.
The requirement to prepare the Allocations DPD will be dependent on what option
is taken forward in the Core Strategy i.e. whether or not development is scattered
across the Borough.

Gypsy and Traveller Site Allocations DPD
The Gypsy and Traveller Site Allocations DPD will identify a sufficient number of
additional pitches on sites within the borough to meet the needs of Gypsies and
Travellers. Sites identified will need to adhere to criteria outlined in the Core
Strategy.

Proposals Map
The Proposals Map will illustrate the main proposals, designations and area based
policies of the Core Strategy. Inset maps may be used where further detail is
required.

3.3 The Council will also produce:

Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD)
SPDs will be produced to support policies and/ or proposals in DPDs and will have
status as a material consideration in the decision making process. Preparation will
involve consultation with the community, stakeholders and other interested parties
in accordance with the SCI, although the document will not be subject to an
independent public examination.

In 2007 the Council adopted a Supplementary Planning Document on Affordable
Housing to support policy H3 of the adopted Local Plan. Details of this document
are summarised at Appendix B.

Annual Monitoring Report (AMR)
Under the requirements of the Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 the
Council must prepare an AMR which reviews progress in delivering the LDS and
provides an assessment of the extent to which policies in the Local Plan and the
policies that replace it are being achieved. The AMR will be published by the
Council and submitted to the Secretary of State on or before 31st December each
year.

4.0 Supporting Statement

4.1 Integration Between Documents in the LDF

4.1.1 The relationship between the documents that make up the Development Plan for
Nuneaton and Bedworth is outlined in Appendix E. As is illustrated in the diagram
there is a clear chain of conformity. DPDs should be in general conformity with the
RSS and national guidance and in turn any SPDs should be in conformity with DPDs.
All documents within the LDF will need to be produced in accordance with the SCI.
The production and content of the LDDs will be monitored through the AMR.
8

4.2 Integration with other strategies/ Plans

4.2.1 The 2004 Act introduced the concept of Spatial Planning. Central to this concept is
the integration of policies for the development and use of land with other policies and
programmes that influence places and the way they function. The LDF will therefore
play a key role in delivering the spatial elements of other strategies and plans
produced by the Council and partner organisations. Examples of these strategies
include those identified in fig. 1.

Fig. 1 Examples of Plans/ Strategies whose spatial elements should be reflected in the LDF.

4.2.2 The link between the LDF and the Sustainable Community Strategy is particularly
important. The policies in the LDF will function as a key delivery mechanism in taking
forward the vision and key spatial objectives of the Sustainable Community Strategy.
This will help to ensure that the challenges facing the Borough are addressed in a co-
ordinated way.

4.3 Evidence Base

4.3.1 Documents that make up the LDF must be based on up to date robust evidence for
them to be considered sound
1
. In preparing LDDs there is therefore a need to

Soundness measures how good a Plan is. It is measured using nine tests identified in PPS12. Robust
evidence forms one of the nine tests.

undertake technical research studies and other background work. This work will be
undertaken by the Council as well as external consultants on behalf of the Council
where information of a specialist nature is required or where the time needed to
undertake the work is not available in house. All background/ technical documents
will be made available alongside the LDDs to which they relate. Currently identified
technical studies that are required include:

Strategic Housing Market Assessment
Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment
Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment
Employment Needs Review
Review of Community Facilities
PPG17 Open Space Assessment
Sports Facilities Assessment
Landscape Character Assessment
Strategic Flood Risk Assessment
Town Centre Vitality/ Viability Studies
Transport Assessment
Habitat/ Biodiversity Information
Green Infrastructure Study
Renewable Energy Study
Water Resources Study

4.4 Sustainability Appraisal / Strategic Environmental Assessment (SA / SEA)

4.4.1 All DPDs will be subject to a SA/ SEA, produced in accordance with national
guidance. The purpose of the appraisals is to assess the likely environmental,
economic and social implications of the policies/ proposals proposed in the
documents. Work on preparing the appraisals will involve external groups and
organisations as well as the Council. The work will be undertaken in four main stages
and in the case of DPDs will lead to the outputs identified in table 2.

Scoping Report
Sets out the scope and level of detail of the SA and will
be prepared at the evidence gathering stage.
Initial SA
Published at Issues and Options stage, the purpose of
the document will be to aid the development of the
Preferred Options.
First Draft of Final SA Published at Preferred Options stage
Final SA
Published at Submission Stage and submitted to the
Secretary of State, the report will help demonstrate
soundness of the document and provide justification for
the policies/ proposals in the DPD.
Table 2: Outputs from SA/ SEA process

4.4.2 Where appropriate SPDs will be subject to a similar but shorter process with the
following outputs; scoping report, initial SA produced in conjunction with the draft SPD

10

and final SA (not submitted to the Secretary of State) published alongside the adopted
version of the SPD.

4.5 Monitoring and Review

4.5.1 The process of monitoring and review is an important part of the post 2004 planning
system. Central to this is an AMR which will be published in December each year, as
identified in paragraph 3.3. The AMR will;

Identify how well the Council is performing against the targets/ milestones it set
itself for document production in the LDS.
Examine whether policies in its DPDs are being delivered through the use of Core,
Local and Contextual indicators.
Advise on the need to review the LDS and amend/ revise policies contained in
LDDs thus informing the future work programme of the Planning Policy Team.

4.5.2 The AMR will form the basis of an annual revision of the LDS, although more frequent
revisions may be carried out as necessary.

4.6 Political Framework

4.6.1 Before submission to the Secretary of State and Regional Planning Body for
consideration, or formal adoption by the Council (in the case of SPDs), each
document in the LDF will require political approval. The level of approval will be
determined by the status of the document and the stage it has reached in the
preparation process. Listed below in table 3 are the levels of approval different types
of document will require at different stages of their preparation.

4.7 Resources

4.7.1 The work associated with the production of the LDF, its monitoring and review will
primarily be undertaken by the Planning Policy team with contributions from other
services within the Council as and when required. Input from the Councils other
services will be particularly valuable at the evidence gathering stage of policy
development to help ensure that the Councils other Plans/ Strategies are integrated
11

into the LDF. In preparing documents specialist services provided by consultants will
also be utilised as identified in paragraph 4.3.1.

4.7.2 The cost of producing the LDF is currently being met through the existing Service
budget, supplemented with money from the Housing & Planning Delivery Grant
(HPDG).

4.7.3 Both staffing and budgetary resources will need to be monitored to ensure that there
is adequate provision to enable the delivery of the LDS.

4.8 Risk Assessment

4.8.1 This LDS has been drafted on the basis of what is considered deliverable.
Nevertheless there are a number of risks which could jeopardise the Councils ability
to deliver the documents that make up the LDF within the timeframe identified. The
Council has however attempted to minimise the risks by putting in place mitigation
measures. The risks, their rating (in terms of likelihood and impact) and the mitigation
measures that have been put in place to moderate and manage the risks are
summarised in table 4.
