Inspector's Schedule of Modifications

MM28 (Main)

Representation ID: 443

Received: 24/10/2024

Respondent: Elmstead Parish Council

Agent: Elmstead Parish Council

Representation Summary:

MM28 – support sports England’s clarification.

Change suggested by respondent:

Strengthened policy wording to ensure policies are effective and not merely suggestive.

Updated traffic modelling and re-examination of transport and movement policies to form an effective, evidence based approach.

Completion of the full link road, to be operational before domestic development commences. (as promised in previous rounds of consultation, and removed without adequate opportunity for additional input)

Integrated phasing plan overview enshrined in policy. Updated viability study to confirm potential proposal is above viability threshold as currently queried in evidence base: financial viability study confirms a 15% profit on cost was approved during section 1, appropriate range reduced to 10-14% but the same document establishes liability at 9.65% - below acceptable thresholds and which we believe will only have fallen further due to changing economic circumstance. By the DPDs own evidence base’s assertion – it does not meet the threshold to be viable.

Full text:

While we support a number of modifications suggested by statutory bodies such as natural England and sport England, we have listed numerous concerns where policy wording is being unnecessarily weakened to the extent it is no longer effective.

As noted there a small number of modifications we believe contradict one another with regards to effective transport planning, and require significant changes, or the omission of illustrative mapping with no planning purpose that obfuscate the policies they’re intended to support.

We remain concerned that an evidence based approach has not been taken with regards to effective transport and movement, especially given the reasoning for main matter 63 which itself concludes the existing traffic modelling is fundamentally flawed. This, and other modifications require substantial changes that need additional evidence, and further consultation to constitute a proper plan making process.

We can only reiterate representations made at the examination in public that we believe too much detail has been pushed to later stages of the planning process, which is supported by the numerous reasonings suggesting policy must be loosened to allow for a wider flexibility.

Representation Summary:

MM31 – strongly support historic England’s intention with the modification. However we are concerned that if a proposal has both significant positive and negative effects of these heritage assets the outcome is entirely subjective and this wording does not present decision makers with a method to reach a policy based conclusion.

Agent: Elmstead Parish Council

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

MM32 – We believe this could be better worded to focus on avoiding conflict with the few heritage assets relevant to the site, with minimizing conflict as a last resort. The revised wording is concerning as it presents a binary choice to either enhance the historic environment OR better reveal the significance. We suggest better phrasing would encourage both in policy.

Change suggested by respondent:

Strengthened policy wording to ensure policies are effective and not merely suggestive.

Updated traffic modelling and re-examination of transport and movement policies to form an effective, evidence based approach.

MM 35 – we are concerned this drastic change in flexibility could lead to long periods of imbalance between housing and employment opportunities, with the overall long term
correlation seemingly guaranteed upon completion of the garden community, after potentially decades of imbalance.

Representation Summary:

MM 36 - The movement and connections illustrative framework plan (page 93) clearly shows a rapid transport route/stop within the area of the business park. While it seems absurd that there would not be a direct connection to the business park – if this is to be the case set out in policy then the map plan needs amending to avoid direct contradiction with the policy and ensuing confusion for decision makers.

Change suggested by respondent:

Representation Summary:

MM 38 – With the majority of students (55% in 2023) now being in paid employment, we find this to be a significant modification that drastically alters the employment landscape of the proposed development. The evidence base for this change is uncertain, with further consultation needed for adequate examination.
