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 reduction as part of new residential schemes in the interests of minimising the environmental impact of the development.

12. Prior to the commencement of the development details shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority demonstrating that each dwelling will meet the required Dwelling Emission Rate.

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. This needs to be provided prior to the commencement so is can be assured that the design meets the required dwelling emission rate.

13. No dwelling hereby approved shall be occupied until a SAP assessment (Standard Assessment Procedure), or other alternative proof of compliance (which has been previously agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority) such as an Energy Performance Certificate, has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority demonstrating that the dwelling has achieved the required Dwelling Emission Rate.
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.

14. The window to be fitted in the first floor of the Left Hand Elevation shown on Drawing Number 1625/1001 shall be fitted with obscured glazing and retained at all times thereafter.
REASON: To prevent undue overlooking and loss of privacy to the residents on Calico Crescent as required by the Central Lancashire Core Strategy and Policy G17 in the South Ribble Local Plan 2012-2026.

UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED:
That the report be deferred to enable the committee to fully consider the Planning Enforcement Policy.

The committee considered a report concerning the draft Employment Skills Supplementary Planning Document (SPDs) which was proposed to go out for consultation.

SPDs offer local planning authorities the opportunity to add guidance in specific policy areas. They are documents which must be prepared in consultation with interested parties, and must be subject to a screening process to discover whether a sustainability appraisal would be required. Unlike Development Plan Documents (DPDs), SPDs did not require independent examination before being adopted.

The Draft Central Lancashire Employment Skills Supplementary Planning Document would provide guidance for applicants in terms of understanding the relevant Central Lancashire policies and what was required as part of the planning application process. This would include a requirement to submit Employment Skills plans in association with prescribed types and scale of development. Once adopted, this SPD should be afforded significant weight as a material consideration in determining planning applications.

The SPD has been driven by Preston, Chorley and South Ribble Councils? aspiration to see additional benefits (known as social value) incorporated into their housing and other development opportunities. Social value was defined as ?the additional economic, social and environmental benefits that can be created when the Council purchases a good service from an outside organisation, above and beyond the value of that good or service?. By integrating social value at the planning stage of a project, this could result in significant ?added value? benefits to the residents of Lancashire, particularly in the area of employment and skills.

The timing of the introduction of this SPD was particularly relevant given that City Deal would unlock ?434 million of new investment to help expand and improve Preston and South Ribble?s transport infrastructure, at an unprecedented rate. Forecasts suggested that 20,000 new jobs would be created and 17,420 homes built ? a huge boost to a local economy expected to grow by ?1 billion over the next ten years. The success of the deal reflects the area?s excellent location, skilled workforce and local strength in training and education.

Following a question from Councillor Marsh, Steven Brown, Assistant Planning Manager, confirmed that 1000sm was the trigger for when a plan would be required.

Further to a question from Councillor Ms Mawson, Steven Brown confirmed that they would mainly consult with the three Economic Development Teams but would also encourage the applicants to be more proactive with their own consultation.

UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED:
(a) That the draft Employment Skills Supplementary Planning Document be endorsed for consultation;
(b) That the Director of Development, Enterprise and Communities, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Housing be authorised to make minor text, layout and formatting amendments prior to the consultation.

The committee considered a report concerning the draft Green Belt Infill SPD which was proposed to go out for consultation.

SPDs offer local planning authorities the opportunity to add guidance in specific policy areas. They are documents which must be prepared in consultation with interested parties, and must be subject to a screening process to discover whether a sustainability appraisal would be required. Unlike Development Plan Documents (DPDs), SPDs did not require independent examination before being adopted.

The Draft Green Belt Infill SPD provided guidance as to how to interpret South Ribble Local Plan Policy G1 part (e) in respect of what would be considered acceptable infill development in villages within the Green Belt. Once adopted, this SPD should be afforded significant weight as a material consideration in determining planning applications.

UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED:
(a) That the Draft Green Belt Infill Supplementary Planning Document be endorsed for consultation;
(b) That the Director of Development, Enterprise and Communities, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Housing be authorised to make minor text, layout and formatting amendments prior to consultation.
