REASON: Policy 27 of the Central Lancashire Core Strategy requires new dwellings to be built to Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4. However, following the Deregulation Bill 2015 receiving Royal Ascent it is no longer possible to set conditions with requirements above a Code Level 4 equivalent. As Policy 27 is an adopted Policy it is still possible to secure energy efficiency reductions as part of new residential schemes in the interests of minimising the environmental impact of the development.

76 South Ribble Local Plan Site ?FF? Masterplan - Moss Side Test Track, Leyland

Report attached

The committee considered a report concerning site allocation reference ?FF? within the South Ribble Local Plan which related to the former Moss Side Test Track site.

The site measured 53.18 hectares and comprised land that was allocated in the South Ribble Local Plan as Policy C2 Major Sites for Development (40.6 hectares). It also included three pockets of land allocated as G7: Green Infrastructure and G12: Green Corridors/Green Wedges (totalling 12.58 hectares).

A draft Masterplan for the site had been produced by the developer, Property Capital, and the committee was asked to send the Masterplan out for public consultation.

Members of the public attended the meeting and expressed their disappointment with the contents of the Masterplan and particularly in comparison to the previous Masterplan in 2010. Their concerns included:-
? The access points, particularly the use and location of the access points on Longmeanygate and Paradise Lane
? The new Masterplan significantly increased the number of properties on the site
? The new Masterplan significantly decreased the amount of green/recreational space on the site
? The amount of employment on the site had been reduced.
? There was a lack of provision of cycleways, bridleways and footpaths
? Multi use paths should be used throughout the site
? Traffic Surveys not taken at peak times
? No consideration of the links to Paradise Park
? Drainage concerns regarding potential flooding from nearby streams

Councillor Michael Green, who was in the audience, compared the new draft Development Brief to the one agreed in 2010. He stated that since the previous Development Brief there had been an increase in properties proposed on the site, a reduction of landscaping and green space, a reduction in employment land, less community facilities provided and two additional access points on to Longmeanygate in very dangerous locations. The only previous mention of an access on to Longmeanygate had been an Emergency Access. The proposals to add an access on to Paradise Lane would also double the traffic on Dunkirk Lane which was already at capacity.

Councillor Michael Green continued to say that this development would be the second largest development in South Ribble over the next 20 years and that it was extremely important that it was right. If it was developed correctly it could enhance the area but in its current form was not ready to go out for public consultation. He expressed concern regarding the contents of a letter sent to all councillors from Property Capital and in particular the suggestion that Moss Side Primary School would be demolished.

He concluded by suggesting that if the committee did approve this Development Brief to go out for public consultation, an event should also be carried on in the Western Parishes as it would also have an impact on them.

Councillor Mrs Snape agreed with the comments raised by both the residents and Councillor Michael Green. She also expressed concern regarding the letter from Property Capital. One of her main concerns was that both Longmeanygate and Midge Hall Lane were unsuitable to cope with the additional traffic associated with a development of this size. She stated that further thought needed to be given to this before residents were consulted.

A representative of Property Capital stated that this was one of the most important brownfield developments within the borough and that they were committed to bring this site forward. He indicated what consultation would take place and that it was now time to consult the public and let them comment on the Masterplan. He stated that Property Capital were sensitive to the issues concerning the access and that they were continuing to look at this. Any alternatives would form part of the consultation process.

Councillor Mrs Green felt that it was too early to consult on the Masterplan as she did not feel it was ready. She stated that the number of properties proposed had increased and as a consequence the amount of employment and green space had reduced. She added that there was no protection of the habitat and that there had been ignorance of the access points. In fact the proposed Village Green would be away from the majority of the residents. Councillor Mrs Green referred to the access from Paradise Lane and that no consideration had been given to the significant impact on an already busy Dunkirk Lane. She stated that more consideration needed to be given to this before going out for public consultation.

Councillor Yates suggested that the Masterplan should go out for public consultation as the process needed to start somewhere. This would enable the residents to state exactly what they wanted and didn?t want from the development. When it did come to adopting the Masterplan, he assured the residents that if members did not agree with the Masterplan at that stage, then it wouldn?t be approved.

Councillors Jones and Nathan agreed with Councillor Yates, suggesting that the process needed to be started. Through the consultation there would be a clear idea of what everyone wanted.

Councillor Forrest was aware of the issues with this site and hoped that the representative of Property Capital had listened to the comments raised. He agreed that the access points to the site were a major issue and needed to be looked at but suggested that the consultation process needed to be started.

Councillor Walton had sympathy with the residents but agreed with what had been said regarding the consultation process.

RESOLVED: (8 Yes, 2 No, 0 Abstention)
That the submitted Masterplan, Phasing and Infrastructure Delivery Schedule (contained within the Masterplan Vision) and Design Code relating to Site ?FF? go out for public consultation.
