Non-Technical Summary

This report concludes that the London Borough of Newham Detailed Sites & Policies Development Plan Document provides an appropriate basis for the planning of the Borough, providing a number of modifications are made to the plan. The Council of the London Borough of Newham has specifically requested me to recommend any modifications necessary to enable the plan to be adopted.

All the modifications to address this were proposed by the Council and I have recommended their inclusion after considering the representations from other parties on these issues.

The Main Modifications can be summarised as follows:

New policies have been introduced and others modified to include

allocations and designations. These relate to Non-strategic Housing sites, Local Industrial Locations, Local Mixed Use Areas, Micro-Business

Opportunity Areas, Green Infrastructure Spaces, Areas of Townscape Value, Archaeological Priority Areas, Local Shopping Parades and Community Facilities Opportunity Areas;

The reasoned justification is to be expanded for several policies and provided for the new policies;

Additional text providing detailed guidance for the implementation and monitoring of policies has been added;

Details of the residential typologies required on a site by site basis have

been added, together with the indicative housing delivery anticipated by spatial policy area;

The restriction on the occupation of specialist housing has been removed from houses-in-multiple-occupation;

The Green Infrastructure space designations at Beckton Sewage Works have been modified to take account of the biodiversity commitments included in a legal agreement;

The requirements relating to flood risk, water quality and drainage have been strengthened;

The wording of the policy to control the cumulative impacts of takeaways, betting shops and nightly-stay hostels has been clarified;

Provision is made for a new school to meet community needs.

Introduction

1. This report contains my assessment of the London Borough of Newham (LBN) Detailed Sites & Policies (DSP) Development Plan Document (DPD)

in terms of Section 20(5) of the Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended). It considers first whether the Plan’s preparation has

complied with the Duty to Co-operate (DtC), in recognition that there is no scope to remedy any failure in this regard. It then considers whether the Plan is sound and whether it is compliant with the legal requirements. The

National Planning Policy Framework (paragraph 182) makes clear that to be sound, a Local Plan should be positively prepared; justified; effective

and consistent with national policy.

Basis of examination

2. The starting point for the examination is the assumption that the local authority has submitted what it considers to be a sound plan. The basis for my examination is the Proposed Submission Draft (November 2015)

which is the same as the document published for consultation in September 2015. I have taken the proposed changes in the Council’s

Schedule of Minor Amendments1, dated December 2015, as being part of the submission, but have not examined these changes due to their minor nature. The Council has made further minor amendments in response to

matters discussed at the Hearing, and I accept that these do not go to the soundness of the DSP DPD. For completeness the Council placed all its

minor changes on public deposit alongside the Main Modifications (MM) which are discussed in detail later in this report.

3. My report deals with the MMs that are needed to make the LBN DSP DPD

sound and legally compliant, and they are identified in bold in the report (MM). In accordance with section 20(7C) of the 2004 Act the Council

requested that I should make any modifications needed to rectify matters that make the Plan unsound/not legally compliant and thus incapable of being adopted. These MMs are set out in the Appendix to this report.

4. The MMs which are necessary for soundness all relate to matters that were discussed at the Examination hearings. Following these discussions, the

Council prepared a schedule of proposed main modifications and this schedule has been subject to public consultation for six weeks. I have taken account of the consultation responses in coming to my conclusions

in this report.

Public Consultation

5. The Council’s Statement of Community Involvement2 was adopted in 2015. It recognises past difficulties in attracting the attention of local people in

planning consultations and the need for greater corporate resources to be used in the future to achieve continuous engagement. The DSP DPD Statements of Consultation3 describe this continuous process, which

accepts and records views even outside formal consultation periods. The informal engagement at Community Forum events, the active

management and use of a dedicated Local Plan Stakeholder Database, articles in ‘The Newham Mag’ together with round table discussions at meetings with councillors, and the use of the Council’s website together

demonstrate that the Council has made significant efforts to involve local residents in the plan process.

6. It has been submitted that the Gypsy and Traveller communities in the borough were not consulted by the Council during the preparation of the DSP DPD. Representations have, nonetheless, been received from, among

others, the London Gypsy and Traveller Unit. These have been taken into consideration in my examination. Given that the Council is preparing a

further DPD specifically to ascertain the needs for Gypsy and Traveller accommodation, the Council’s public consultation during the preparation of

the DSP DPD has not been shown to be unsatisfactory. My assessment of the legal compliance of the DSP DPD is given later in this report.

The Policies Map

7. The Council is required to maintain an adopted policies map which illustrates geographically the application of the policies in the adopted

development plan. When submitting a local plan, or as in this case, the DPD, for examination, the Council is then required to provide a submission policies map showing the changes to the adopted policies map which would

result from the proposals in the local plan. In this instance, the submission policies map comprises the set of plans identified as ‘the London Borough

of Newham Local Plan Detailed Sites and Policies Development Plan Document Policies Map (to be read in conjunction with the adopted Proposals Map).’

8. The policies map is not defined in statute as a Development Plan Document and so I do not have the power to recommend main

2 SD12 3 SD06 and SD07

6

modifications to it. However, a number of the published MMs to the DPD’s policies require corresponding changes to be made to the Policies Map.

9. When the Plan is adopted, in order to comply with the legislation and give effect to the Plan’s policies, the Council will need to update the adopted

policies map to include all the changes proposed in the DSP DPD and the further changes published alongside the MMs incorporating any necessary amendments identified in this report.

Assessment of Duty to Co-operate

10. Section s20(5)(c) of the 2004 Act requires that I consider whether the Council complied with any duty imposed on them by section 33A of the

2004 Act in relation to the Plan’s preparation.

11. The DtC requires the Council to engage in on-going, constructive and

active cooperation to maximise the effectiveness of (among other things) the preparation of development plan documents in the context of strategic cross boundary matters. The DSP DPD has been prepared within the

context of the LBN Core Strategy4 (CS), 2012. The CS sets out the spatial vision, allocates strategic sites for a range of uses and provides borough-

wide policies, within the context of the London Plan (LonP). By contrast, the DSP DPD is primarily concerned with detailed sites and policies. Nonetheless, the Council’s Duty to Cooperate Statement5, December 2015,

demonstrates that it has engaged in the DtC process.

12. The DtC is separate from the Council’s responsibility for public consultation

with local groups and residents. It relates specifically to the bodies set out in the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, as amended. The Council has engaged with the eleven relevant

prescribed bodies and seven neighbouring authorities on three occasions during the preparation of the DSP DPD.

13. The Council’s engagement with the prescribed bodies included the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC). The Council maintained regular contact with the LLDC throughout 2013 and 2014 during the preparation of

the LLDC Local Plan (LP). Moreover, briefings were given to the LLDC on the preparation of the DSP DPD in May 2013 and January 2015. However,

no responses were received from the LLDC during the consultations.

14. Representors refer to a commitment in the LLDC LP to cooperate with Growth Boroughs in reviewing and addressing the accommodation needs

of Gypsies and Travellers. Consideration is given to the absence in the DSP DPD of provision for the Gypsy and Traveller community elsewhere in

this report. However, I am satisfied that the DtC has been met.

Assessment of Soundness

Preamble

15. The CS was adopted in January 2012. Since that time the LonP, which

provides the spatial development strategy for London, has been updated and consolidated.6 Also, the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)

came into force in March 2012, and the Government’s Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) was first published in March 2014, with various

subsequent amendments. Both the NPPF and PPG are material considerations of significant weight. However, the Council has taken the opportunity to take these documents into account in its submissions.

Main Issues

16. Taking account of all the representations, written evidence and the

discussions that took place at the examination hearings I have identified seven main issues upon which the soundness of the Plan depends.

Issue 1 – Whether the DPD is sound in relation to provision for Gypsy

and Traveller Accommodation in Newham

17. The CS addresses the needs for specialist accommodation in policy H3. It

says that provision for Gypsies and Travellers to meet the required number of pitches identified in the Gypsy and Traveller Needs Assessment (GTNA) will be progressed through this DSP DPD. The DSP DPD, however, does

not include such provision, but instead states that, as further evidence base work is required, site provision will be identified as part of a separate

DPD. The Council has taken this approach for several reasons including that the existing London-wide GTNA (2008) is out of date due to its age. In addition the Council wished to be able to take into account the outcome

of the Government’s consultation on Planning and Travellers, which was in progress at the time the Council was considering the scope of the DSP

DPD.

6 The London Plan, March 2016

8

18. The Government’s Planning Policy for Traveller Sites (PPTS) was, however, published in August 2015, and so it is unfortunate that the Council was not

able to consider the question of provision for any Gypsy and Traveller needs in the DSP DPD. Notwithstanding the Council’s cogent reasons for

not so doing, it has not been explained why, in the absence of up-to-date evidence of need, a criteria-based policy was not included within the DSP DPD in advance of more detailed work in a subsequent DPD. Such an

approach would be consistent with paragraph 11 of the PPTS.

19. Moreover, the Council’s Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation (GTA) DPD is

included in its Local Development Scheme 20157 and is progressing broadly on accordance with it. A consultation on its Issues and Options document took place between April and June 2016, and the consultation

on the proposed submission version of the GTA DPD closed on 12 August 2016. Copies of the 2016 Newham Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation

Assessment8 and a draft criteria-based Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation policy9, dated March 2016, were submitted to me for information during the Examination. Representors referred to the content

of these documents at the Hearing, but they do not pertain to the DSP DPD. They do not form part of this Examination, and their content has not

been taken into account.

20. The Council has made rapid progress on the preparation of the GTA DPD.

It will be the subject of a separate Examination, which is likely to commence as soon as the autumn of this year. Accordingly, there would now be no material advantage in modifying the DSP DPD to include

policies or provision for Gypsies and Travellers. While representors query whether the DSP DPD accords with the CS, the Council’s decision to

address the needs of the gypsy and travelling communities in a separate DPD does not, in itself, bring the DSP DPD into fundamental conflict with the CS.

Issue 2 – Whether the DSP DPD is sound in relation to allocating or designating Non-strategic Housing sites, Local Industrial Locations,

Local Mixed Use Areas, Micro-Business Opportunity Areas, Green Infrastructure Spaces, Areas of Townscape Value and Archaeological

Priority Areas and Local Shopping Parades

Housing

21. The soundness of the DPD in relation to the provision for Gypsies and

Travellers has been considered in Issue 1, above. This issue addresses provision for the settled community.

22. Appendix 3 on page 77 of the DSP DPD sets out a schedule of 34 sites for either residential or residential-led mixed use development. The reasoned justification for policy H5 explains that these are in addition to the

strategic sites identified in the CS. To be effective and avoid confusion with the strategic sites identified in the CS, and with small, unallocated,

sites which may come forward, the housing sites identified in the DSP DPD are to be known as Non-strategic housing sites. This is included in MM15, which is discussed further below.

23. It has been put to me that parts of some of the CS Strategic Sites should be included within the Non-strategic housing sites in the DSP DPD.

However, since the Non-strategic sites in the DPD would be separate from, and in addition to, the strategic allocations, it would not be appropriate to

do so.

24. In addition to listing the sites in Appendix 3, the 34 Non-strategic housing sites are shown on the DSP DPD Policies Map (which is to be read in

conjunction with the extant Proposals Map). However, the Policies Map is not a development plan document, and so the DSP DPD, as submitted,

does not include a policy to allocate these sites. It would not, therefore, be effective. MM14, which allocates the sites for residential or residential-led development in accordance with CS policies S1 – S6 and H1, is,

therefore, necessary. The MM additionally acknowledges the Council’s positive stance towards additional windfall sites coming forward for

development, subject to all its relevant policies.

25. The non-strategic housing sites in the DSP DPD are not supported by design briefs or comprehensive viability assessments. However, the

development management process would have regard, among other things, to the sustainable residential quality density matrix in the LonP,

which takes account of the location of sites and their accessibility by public transport. As submitted for Examination, however, the DSP DPD does not indicate the number of homes which would be delivered through the

development of Non-strategic housing sites either individually or collectively. While this approach offers opportunities for innovative design,

the absence of indicative or minima site requirements would not be effective with regard to the delivery of housing. Consequently, MM15, which is necessary for the effectiveness of the DSP DPD, addresses this

point by including additional material in the reasoned justification which explains, firstly, that each of the Non-strategic housing sites has the

10

potential to deliver at least 10 units, and, secondly, provides an indicative overall capacity for the Non-strategic housing sites by spatial policy areas.

Further information detailing the indicative residential typology, the possible development partners and phasing required on a site by site basis

is necessary for the effective delivery of the non-strategic housing. This is provided by the table to be included by MM30.

Achieving High Quality Accommodation

26. Policy H6 sets out the criteria to ensure the provision of high quality accommodation across a range of housing types, and complements other

policies in the DSP DPD. However, to be effective, additional supporting text is necessary to address the implementation and monitoring of the policy. This is provided by MM17.

Specialist housing

27. Policy H5, paragraph 5, includes criteria to direct specialist housing in Use

Class C2 of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1997, as amended (UCO) and sui generis housing towards local needs. As submitted, this would have included, among other things, new proposals

for larger houses-in-multiple-occupation (HMOs). The Council’s rationale is to protect sites within the Borough to meet local housing needs. However,

while it may be possible to control the occupation of new institutions such as residential care and nursing homes, this approach would not be

effective with regard to HMOs. Accordingly, MM13 restricts the policy criteria to new Class C2 housing and to new nightly-stay sui generis housing, both of which may be controlled through legal agreements at the

development management stage. MM13, together with MM16, which provides the reasoned justification and the monitoring arrangements for

specialist housing, are, therefore, necessary for the soundness of the DSP DPD. The cross referencing in the MMs to the DSP DPD policies H6 and H7 is also necessary for soundness.

28. The distribution of specialist housing within the Borough is addressed by Policy H7, and is justified in the DSP DPD. However, for effectiveness,

additional supporting text is necessary to address the implementation and monitoring of the policy. This is provided by MM18.

Non-strategic housing site HSG 12

29. It has been put to me that the DSP DPD would not be effective since Non-strategic Housing Site 12 at Barking Road would not be viable since the

demolition of the existing building on the site would be prohibitively expensive due to its structure and previous uses. Accordingly, the representor contends that a mixed use including a Class D2 leisure use

would be more realistic and is necessary for soundness. The site, however, is outside the identified East Ham town centre, where leisure

uses are normally directed by various CS policies including J1, INF5 and INF8. The representor’s supporting estate agents’ letters do not amount to a detailed valuation, and, as such, do not demonstrate that the Non-

strategic housing allocation would not be viable. A MM is not necessary for

11

the soundness of the DSP DPD.

Local Industrial Locations, Local Mixed Use Areas, and Micro-Business

Opportunity Areas

30. Policy J4 of the DSP DPD provides a supplementary spatial strategy for the

configuration of Local Industrial Locations (LILs), the allocation of Local Mixed Use Areas (LMUAs) and the designation of Class B1 Micro-Business Opportunity Areas (MBOAs). The LILs, LMUAs and MBOAs are in addition

to the Strategic Sites in the CS, so it would not be appropriate to designate LMUAs within the Strategic Sites. Contrary to the concerns raised by

representors, the DSP DPD will not remove land from the Strategic Industrial Locations identified in the CS.

31. The reasoned justification for the policy explains that the LILs, LMUAs and

MBOAs can be found on the Policies Map. However, the policy does not refer to the location of the sites, and so, in order to be effective, MM11,

which provides for the allocation of these sites, is necessary.

32. Additional reasoned justification, together with cross-referencing to other development plan policies and the Mayor of London’s Supplementary

Planning Guidance (SPG) documents (or future updates) on Land for Industry and Transport, is necessary for Policy J4 to be effective. Further,

further information on the implementation and monitoring of Policy J4, including the Council’s approach to the balance between homes and jobs,

is required for the soundness of the DSP DPD. These are provided in MM12.

33. The principle of whether paragraph 2 of Policy J4 should provide protection

for existing businesses facing relocation as a result of redevelopment beyond the areas where defined Managed Release and Managed Transition

arrangements apply was discussed at the Hearing. It is necessary to balance the needs of existing businesses against the wider public benefits of regeneration within Newham, and notwithstanding the concerns put to

me by a representor, there is no substantive evidence to demonstrate that the DSP DPD is unsound in this regard.

34. As submitted, Policy J4 encourages the reconfiguration of LILs where, among other things, ancillary offices in Use Class B1(a) and other supporting facilities do not amount to 100sqm gross external area.

Notwithstanding that the proposed limit on ancillary uses generally accords with the thrust of LonP policy 2.17, it was put to me that a threshold of

100sqm is out of keeping with modern industrial premises. While accepting that the threshold is very modest in relation to the range of premises described by the representor, these are not comparable to LILs,

which are intended to provide affordable workspace.

35. The submitted policy threshold is, however, unrelated to the overall size of

premises within a LIL, or the proximity of any off-site facilities. The Council, therefore, proposed the removal of the numeric threshold of 100sqm for ancillary offices and other supporting facilities from policy J4,

and the insertion of corresponding requirements for supporting facilities

12

and Class B1(a) offices to be ancillary. The additional reasoned justification for Policy J4 provides details of how the Council will assess

proposals for ancillary office uses and small-scale facilities to meet the needs of people working in industrial areas, with cross-referencing to the

LonP. These MMs, which balance policy objectives with the operational needs of businesses and workers, are necessary for the effectiveness of the DSP DPD. Together with other matters addressed above they are

included in MM11 and MM12.

36. It has been put to me that the designations of several LIL and LMUA sites

in the DSP DPD are not justified by the Council’s evidence base and, as such, are unsound.

37. The Council’s scoring matrix for identifying LMUAs was discussed at the

Hearing with particular regard to land at Canning Road East (LIL8) and Grantham Road (LIL10), with the representor’s scores for the site being

compared with those in the Council’s evidence. The simplicity of the scoring system in the matrix, and its apparent sensitivity to modest changes in the inputs, limits its usefulness. Accordingly, I have given

greater weight to the detailed information regarding the uses and characteristics of sites included within the Council’s evidence base10 and to

the submissions put to me and the discussions at the Hearing.

38. At Canning Road East it is contended that the designation of part of the

land in LIL8 is not the most appropriate strategy compared to reasonable alternatives. A change to a LMUA is sought by a representor. This was discussed at the hearing, and I carried out an accompanied site visit to the

site and the surrounding area. The part of the site which is the subject of the submissions shares a single pedestrian and vehicular access/egress

point with the remainder of the designated land. While the representor has submitted two prior approval applications to the Council (Refs 16/00751/PRECUJ and 16/00752/PRECUJ) for the conversion of the office

space within the site to form a total of 30 residential units within OMM House and OSS House, these had not been determined at the date of the

Hearing. The potential for additional permitted changes of use within the site has also been put to me, and I note that there are existing residential units at Max House, which is within the part of the LIL outside the

representor’s ownership.

39. However, much of the site comprises small-medium sized units providing

premises for industrial operators. The site enjoys high occupancy rates. It

10 EB07

13

is separated from potentially sensitive sites by the neighbouring railway lines, the Transport for London (TfL) railway depot, the green

infrastructure along the linear Greenway and the training establishment set away from the highway to the west of Canning Road. Notwithstanding

the existing residential accommodation at Max House, and the possibility of the changes mentioned above, the site has more of the characteristics of an industrial location than a residential-led mixed one. Although the

Mixed Use V2 evidence base report11 acknowledges that an alternative option could have been to designate the entire site as a LMUA, there is no

evidence that a comprehensive scheme for its reconfiguration would be realistic given the separate ownerships within the site. Accordingly, it has not been shown that its designation as a LIL is unjustified.

40. There is housing to the west of the land at Grantham Road (LIL10), but it is heavily constrained by the above- and below-ground services including

power lines and a gas reduction station, and their associated easements, as well as traffic noise from the adjoining dual carriageway North Circular Road to the east. Much of the site has remained undeveloped for an

extended period, other than the use of a former office building as a gym and recently permitted car hire and car wash facilities on a limited part of

the land. While the Council’s matrix accepts that the site has some of the characteristics of a LMUA, concern has been raised due to the design

constraints included in the National Grid’s ‘Creating a Sense of Place: design guidelines.’

41. Six notional light industrial schemes, taking various approaches to

addressing the site constraints, and two residential options, which fully address the constraints, have been submitted in support of the

representor’s case for a change to the DSP DPD to designate this site as a LMUA. It has been put to me that none of the light industrial options would be viable, whereas it is contended that either of the residential

schemes would be viable. However, no detailed valuations have been provided. Moreover, trip generation forecasts have been provided for the

light industrial options, but not for the residential options. There is disagreement between the representor and the Council regarding the PTAL for this 1.3ha site. While Ilford station and various bus stops are within a

1km walk isochrone of the site, this does not take account of the quality of the walking environment or the physical constraints in the area, which

would be likely to discourage walking. Taking all the matters raised into consideration, the submissions have not demonstrated that a LMUA would be appropriate on the site, nor has it been shown that the designation of

11 EB07

14

the land at Grantham Road as a LIL is unjustified.

42. A representor seeks the inclusion of land, known as WE5b, adjacent to

Western Gateway, as a Non-strategic residential-led mixed used site allocation in the DSP DPD. The land, which is in close proximity to Non-

strategic housing sites HSG 25 and HSG 26, is not allocated in the CS or the DSP DPD. The Council accepts that the site could be compatible with mixed use development. A planning application for alterations to a car

park podium and the comprehensive redevelopment of the site to provide a 20 storey mixed-use development was under consideration within the

context of CS policy S3 at the time of the Hearing. There is no dispute that the scheme described in submissions would make a worthwhile contribution to housing delivery within the Borough. The inclusion of the

site as a Non-strategic site allocation would be compatible with the objectives of the DSP DPD, but given the progress of the application is not

essential for either the redevelopment of the site or the soundness of the document.

Green Infrastructure Spaces

43. The Government’s Planning Practice Guidance12 recognises that Green Infrastructure is a network of multifunctional green space, which is capable

of delivering a wide range of environmental and quality of life benefits for local communities. It is not an alternative description for conventional

open space but may comprise a wide range of open spaces and features including parks, playing fields, private gardens, street trees and water bodies and other linear features. In Newham the large number of green

infrastructure assets, including all playing fields and sports pitches, are protected by CS Policy INF6. The designation of Green Infrastructure

Spaces (GS) does not take account of ownership. Similarly, the question of whether or not there is, or will be, public access to the land is not determinative. It follows that the designation of spaces without public

access, such as the Beckton Alps as GS228 site, are not unjustified on this basis, and do not go the soundness of the DSP DPD.

44. The designation of GS in the DSP DPD relies on Saved Unitary Development Plan Policy OS7, which would be deleted on the adoption of this DPD. The inclusion of the green infrastructure spaces on the Policies

Map would not be sufficient for their designation, for the reasons explained above. An additional policy to designate the GSs is, therefore, necessary

for the effectiveness of the DSP DPD. This is provided by new Policy INF6a

12 Reference ID: 8-027-2160211

15

in MM25.

45. The reasoned justification for Policy INF6a is set out in MM26. It includes

clarification of the range of assets which are designated and protected as GS, together with cross-referencing to Policies INF6 and INF7. MM26 is

necessary to justify Policy INF6a. Further details of the GSs will continue to be provided in the appendices to the DSP DPD, but, for effectiveness and justification of the designations, MM31 expands the table to provide

the approximate sizes, the London Plan designations and other designations, if any, of the GSs, as well as their locations by community

and post code.

46. It has been put to me that several of the GS designations are not sound. Beckton Sewage Works is an essential sewage treatment infrastructure

asset for London. It was put to me that the green infrastructure areas included in the submitted DSP DPD at the site do not reflect changes which

have already occurred as a result of recent improvements to the works, and could delay future upgrades. The accuracy of the GS mapping in the DSP DPD and the importance of balancing the protection of green

infrastructure with safeguarding the present and future operational needs of Thames Water were discussed at the Hearing. This resulted in the

completion of a Statement of Common Ground (SOCG), dated 17 May 2016, between the Council and Thames Water.

47. In recognition of the de-designation of Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) which occurred through the CS, the Council accepts that it is necessary to reduce the size of the Site of Importance to Nature Conservation (SINC) 3

substantially. This was identified as GS218 in the submission document, but the reduced area is changed to GS218a in the SOCG. This is justified

since it reflects the biodiversity commitments in the S106 agreement attached to the permission for the Lee Tunnel and Beckton Sewage Treatment Works Extension (10/02061/LTGVAR/LBNM, March 2011). The

proximity of the GS241 does not obviate the need for this designation. The remaining portion of GS218, which is green space but not SINC, and

without public access, covers the tree line along the road at the western edge of the sewage treatment works.

48. The changes agreed in the SOCG are necessary for the DSP DPD to be

justified, and are incorporated within the table in MM31. In addition, MM32 inserts the modified green infrastructure mapping agreed in the

SOCG into the appendix of MMs, for the effectiveness of the DSP DPD. The Council should, however, also make corresponding changes to its Policies Map, as discussed in paragraph 7, above.

49. The Council undertakes to re-assess the MOL status of land at Beckton Sewage Works in conjunction with the GLA and Thames Water in its next

LP review to reflect the removal of part of the Northern Lagoon area identified as GS 178 in the DSP DPD from the SINC designation. However that is not a matter for this Examination.

50. There are conflicting submissions as to whether the open land at the Beckton Gas Works, identified as part of GS212 in the submitted DSP DPD,

16

is a SINC. Although the part of GS212, which is within the Beckton Gas Works site, is MOL but not a SINC, GS212 does include SINC land outside

the Gas Works site. In order for the designations to be justified, GS212 is to be divided, so that the land which is not a SINC will be identified as a

new designation GS212a. This is included with MM31 and MM32, and will also need to be reflected in an amendment to the Policies Map in due course.

51. The linear open space GS330 is within the CS Strategic Site S18, known as ‘Limmo.’ Its designation as part of SINC4 is explained in the Biodiversity

and Green Space v2 report,13 dated July 2015. It derives from the survey work carried out by the Greater London Authority (GLA) in 2001. However, notwithstanding the age of the assessment, no submissions have

been made regarding any changes to the habitats on the site, and aerial photography indicates that only limited change has occurred on the site.

It has not been shown that GS330 could not be taken into account in future master-planning for the strategic site. It has not, therefore, been demonstrated that GS330 is not justified, or that it goes to the soundness

of the DSP DPD.

Areas of Townscape Value and Archaeological Priority Areas

52. The DSP DPD includes a spatial update which, among other things, amends and augments the Areas of Townscape Value listed in the CS. It

also includes details of the Archaeological Priority Areas, which are recognised as heritage assets in the CS. To be effective, it is necessary for these designations to be included in a policy. Policy SP5a, which is an

additional policy, and its reasoned justification, are therefore included in MM1.

Local Shopping Parades

53. The Local Shopping Parades in Newham are shown on the DSP DPD Policies Map, but not designated by a policy in the submitted document.

For these to be effective, they are designated in an additional policy, Policy INF5a, which is provided by MM23, with the reasoned justification for the

policy being set out in MM24.

Issue 3 – Whether the DPD is sound in relation to maximising sustainable design Building standards

54. DSP DPD policy SC5 provides for the maximisation of sustainable design, including building standards. While it has been put to me that the building

standards for residential and non-residential development in part 7 of the policy are excessive, the requirements have been tested in the Council’s Viability Assessment14 and its authors’ Clarification Note/Addendum,15

which takes account of the replacement of the Code for Sustainable Homes by the Building Regulations and the requirements included in the LonP.

55. The required standard in policy SC5 for new residential development reflects the LonP, and so has no additional impact on viability.

56. With regard to new non-residential development, the published

requirement for the period up to 2016 has expired. Accordingly, Policy SC5 now requires the BREEAM UK construction rating of ‘very good’ for all

non-residential new build development of 500sqm GIA with an increase from the ‘very good’ rating to ‘excellent’ for all new-build major development. The assessments in Table 2 of the Clarification

Note/Addendum indicate that no additional sites would be made unviable by these requirements. By contrast, the generalised submissions by

representors do not demonstrate that the building standards in Policy SC5, part 7, would harm viability, or not be technically feasible. It will be for

the Council to take the specific detail of these matters into account among all other considerations in determining detailed site specific proposals, including those which are currently at an advanced stage of design but not

yet the subject of planning applications. However, on the basis of the evidence available, it has not been shown that the building standards in

the DSP DPD are not justified by its evidence base.

57. The Council seeks to supplement the reasoned justification for Policy SC5 with additional text relating to its implementation and monitoring. As this

is required for effectiveness, it is set out in MM22.

58. It has also been put to me that the DSP DPD should include financial

provisions to incentivise the reinstatement of water permeable front gardens. This is, however, a matter which falls outside the remit of the local planning system.

Issue 4 – Whether the DSP DPD is sound in relation to flood risk, water quality and drainage

59. It has been put to me that the DSP DPD is unsound in relation to flood risk, water quality and drainage. In its representations the Environment

Agency (EA) contend that aspects of policies SP8, SP9 and SC5 would not be effective and are not consistent with national policy. The DSP DPD is, however, to be read in conjunction with the overarching policy requirement

in CS Policy SC3 for development management decisions to apply the sequential and exception floor risk tests. Accordingly, the Council’s

Schedule of Minor Amendments16 addressed a number of misunderstandings and other points which had been raised. To address the representor’s outstanding concerns with regard to soundness, and to

ensure the effectiveness of the document, the Council has entered into a SOCG17 with the EA to make further modifications to the DSP DPD.

60. Paragraph 99 of the NPPF requires that, where development is necessary in areas at highest flood risk, it should be made safe without increasing flood risk elsewhere. This is a higher requirement than Policy SP8

paragraph 1.g. of the DSP DPD, which recognises the need to ‘avoid or minimise off-site flood risks.’ Accordingly, the deletion of ‘or minimise’ is

necessary for the plan to accord with national planning policy, and the cross-reference to Policy SP9 is required for effectiveness. These are in

MM2. The additional text to support the implementation and monitoring of the policy is necessary for its effectiveness, and is set out in MM3.

61. In managing the cumulative impact on Water Quality Stress Zones, an

additional cross reference to policy SC5, which seeks to limit run-off and is discussed further below, is necessary for effectiveness. In relation to

Critical Drainage Areas and Flood Zones, paragraph 3 of Policy SP9 also seeks to control run-off. However, for effectiveness and to accord with the NPPF, the Council accepts that the policy should instead preclude a

worsening of flood risk from surface water run-off or fluvial and tidal sources, and that measures will be required to improve run-off in

accordance with policies SC3 and SC5. For soundness, these points are addressed in MM4.

62. For consistency with the SOCG with the EA, and for effectiveness, it is

necessary for the reasoned justification to be modified to include reference to the EU Water Framework Directive and the relevant River Basin

16 SD09 17 SOCG2, dated 11 April 2016

19

Management Plans, and also to update and correct the references to the identification of Critical Drainage Areas. MM5 addresses these points and

is also necessary for effectiveness and consistency with the Government’s Planning Practice Guidance18 regarding the definition of Flood Zones.

Additional reasoned justification to support the implementation and monitoring of Policy SP9 is necessary for effectiveness. This is provided by MM6.

63. Policy SC5 includes, among other things, criteria to control the surface water run-off rate for new development. However, in paragraph 1, the

aim of reducing surface water run-off to greenfield rates is too vague for a criteria-based policy. To be effective the wording needs to require the achievement of a greenfield run-off rate. Criterion (a) also requires

modification to make clear that the requirement to address water quality impacts is in addition to the requirement to provide before and after

development run-off rate data. There is no substantive evidence that these requirements would not be technically feasible. These modifications are therefore necessary for effectiveness. They comprise MM19.

64. Paragraph 4 of Policy SC5 provides for liaison with the Environment Agency for development in proximity to flood defences. For effectiveness,

the policy requires modification to ensure that it applies to all proposals where any part of the site falls within 16m of flood defences as shown on

the EA’s Flood Map. It is also necessary for effectiveness for the policy to require that the flood defences are in good condition and will provide protection for the lifetime of the development. MM20 makes these

changes. The riverside position of the Borough, and the large proportion of land falling with a high flood risk zone, justify these policy requirements.

The reasoned justification, however, requires modification for effectiveness to reflect the MMs to the policy. This is provided by MM21.

Issue 5 – Whether the DSP DPD is sound in relation to policies for its

Local Centres

East Ham centre

65. It has been put to me that the DSP DPD is not justified or effective on the basis that East Ham Market is not included within the Primary Shopping Area (PSA) despite the market having been an important part of the

centre’s historic retail offer. The DSP DPD Town Centres V2 evidence19

18 Planning Practice Guidance Paragraph: 065 Reference ID: 7-065-20140306 19 EB04

20

examines the health of the centre, and supports a minor extension to the PSA opposite the market hall. It provides limited information, but does not

identify other options or opportunities for change to the Primary Shopping Frontage or the PSA within the strategic policy context.

66. The PSA is not solely a descriptive designation, but has a role in directing the location of retail development. However, the market is identified as Strategic Site S25 in the CS. CS Policy S6 provides the vision for this part

of urban Newham, including re-shaping East Ham town centre to become less linear. To this end, the CS promotes new development and renewal in

the southern part of the centre, where the market hall is located, but does not emphasise a primary shopping role for the site. The Council’s decision not to extend the PSA to include the market hall has not been shown to be

unjustified. Moreover, since it is not the role of DSP DPD to alter the designation or purposes of the strategic sites in the CS, the DSP DPD has

not been shown to be unsound.

Maryland Centre

67. A representor submits that the Maryland Local Centre designation, LC2,

should be expanded to include land between Francis Road (sic) and Manbey Grove. The submission is based on the presence of various local

centre uses such as a pharmacy. The Council’s Local Centres v2 report20 justifies the designation of the centre to realise the potential of the new

Crossrail station, but restricts its extent to avoid it merging with the nearby Stratford Centre. The expansion of the Maryland centre beyond the extent identified in the DSP DPD could also conflict with the

Community Facilities Opportunity Area CFOA5 and the Micro-Business Opportunity Areas MBOA5 in the vicinity.

68. It has also been put to me that the soundness of the DSP DPD is challenged by the designation of the Maryland Centre as a local centre rather than a district centre. The town centre hierarchy is, however, a

strategic matter set out in the LonP, and is not a matter for this examination.

20 EB05

21

Issue 6 – Whether the DSP DPD is sound in relation to policies to manage the cumulative impact of specified uses within Newham

69. DSP DPD Policy SP10 addresses the management of the cumulative impacts of specific uses by the use of criteria to control both their linear

and area concentrations so as to help create healthy and sustainable places. The uses included in the policy are takeaways, betting shops and nightly-stay hostels. As submitted the criteria would not permit the use of

additional premises for these uses if there would be three or more in the same use within overlapping catchment areas, or where there are three

other premises in the same use within 400m.

70. No submission has been made with regard to the soundness of the DSP DPD in relation to takeaways or nightly-stay hostels. No issue has been

raised regarding the control of the linear concentration betting shops, but it has been put to me that the area concentration controls are not justified

by the Council’s evidence base. The concerns raised relate, in particular, to the effects of high number of betting shops in town centres, the principle of controlling area concentrations, the suitability of a radius of

400m, the trigger point of 3 betting shops within an area concentration, the quality of the Council’s evidence base, and the clarity of the wording of

the policy. These were discussed at the Hearing.

71. It has been put to me that the Council’s approach is not in keeping with

Policy 4.6 of the LonP with regard to the control of clustering. LonP Policy 4.6 is directed at support for the arts, culture, sport and recreation. Among other things, it provides for DPD policies to manage local clusters.

The purpose is to minimise their impact, taking account of the cumulative effects of night time uses and saturation levels beyond which they have

unacceptable impacts on the environmental standards and the quality of life for local residents. Whether this is necessary in any given circumstances is, therefore, a matter of judgement.

72. To support its approach the Council refers to the GLA Town Centres SPG, July 2014, in its evidence. The SPG provides for the regulation of betting

shops through the planning system if their concentration has a significant negative impact on the objectives, policies or priorities of the LonP, including vitality and viability, quality and diversity of offer, sense of place

and local identity, community safety and security, health and well-being. The SPG remains extant, but predates the change to the UCO, which now

identifies betting shops as sui generis. It supports the principle of controlling the development of new betting shops through the planning system, and does not preclude using criteria to control area

concentrations. The SPG does not, however, specifically underpin the criteria in Policy SP10.

73. The NPPF promotes competitive town centres which provide customer choice. I acknowledge that investment in betting shop premises contributes to the maintenance of the fabric of town centres. Betting

shops provide some employment and contribute towards some passive surveillance during their typically long opening hours.

22

74. However, the Council’s evidence base21 shows that there has been a concern within the communities in Newham for many years regarding the

impacts of betting shops on the environment and anti-social behaviour. This is significant given the difficulty which the Council has generally

experienced in engaging residents in consultation on planning matters. While the Council’s approach has been challenged, its questionnaire and survey work in EB01 was carried out in the context of Council corporate

research protocols. Furthermore, the Council’s questionnaires, which generated local context data, used the same questions as the survey data

in the representor’s submissions. It was, therefore, robust and fit for purpose.

75. The Council’s accepts that voids are not an issue affecting the vitality and

viability of the centres within the Borough. It refers, however, to the effect of ‘churn’ and effect on the sense of place. These considerations are

not been supported by quantitative submissions, but I accept that they are not inherently quantifiable. The Cumulative Impact report (v2)22 does, however, include data on the average number of betting shops within

‘Lower Super Output’ Areas, and the number of betting shops within 400m of another betting shop. This identifies concentrations in East Ham, Forest

Gate, Green Street, Stratford and Canning Town. Moreover, submitted crime data shows a link between betting shops and antisocial behaviour,

with police officers being called to an incident at, or in the vicinity of, a betting shop in Newham each day between October 2012 and October 2014. Unchallenged data obtained by the Council from the Gambling

Commission similarly indicates a similar rate of incidents on betting premises related to gambling activity requiring police assistance.

76. The distance of 400m is a well-accepted proxy measure for a five minute walk, and is not necessarily limited to a linear walk. A distance of 400m for the catchments of betting shops therefore relates to the distance

covered in a typical five-minute walk, irrespective of direction. The question of whether it would take more than five minutes to walk

throughout the entire area within a 400m radius from a betting shop is not material. Similarly, whether or not there is a direct line of sight between betting shops is not pivotal within an area cluster.

77. Although the evidence base does not provide detailed quantified support for the proposed threshold of three betting shops within area

concentrations, the Council explains that it is inherently difficult to define a

21 EB01 and EB12 22 EB01

23

tipping point for policy purposes. However, the maps within its evidence base identify areas where there as many as 8-11 betting shops within

400m23, and clusters where up to 7-9 other betting shops are located within 400m of a betting shop. The question of what amounts to a large

number of betting shops was discussed at the Hearing, without agreement. The planning appeal decisions, which were submitted by the Council, demonstrate that uncertainties and variations can occur in the absence of

clear policy guidelines. These appeal decisions in the LBN (Refs APP/G5750/A/12/2168137, APP/G5750/A/12/2177033,

APP/G5750/A/11/2154506, APP/G5750/A/11/2146616, and APP/G5750/A/12/2172681) underpin the need for a criteria-based policy with regard to the numbers and concentration of betting shops. In a more

recent appeal decision, Ref APP/U5930/A/14/2229533, at High Road, Leytonstone, which post-dates the change to the UCO, the Inspector

considered six betting shops in the centre to be low when compared to the other non-A1 uses in the centre. However, as that appeal relates to a site in a different London Borough, and it has not been demonstrated that the

centre is comparable to those in Newham, the decision carries limited weight in the context of the DSP DPD.

78. The change to the UCO mentioned above does not remove the need for criteria-based policy control of the location and concentrations of betting

shops. Given the impacts and public opinion discussed above, in this instance the threshold of three betting shops within a radius of 400m in Policy SP10 is not unreasonable, and does not conflict with LonP Policy 4.6.

Furthermore, as CS Policies S4 and S6 policies seek a reduction in the linear character of the centres at Canning Town and East Ham, and a

redefinition of the local centre at Manor Park, reliance on the control of linear concentrations alone would be ineffective. The policy criteria would not impact on existing premises in lawful betting shop use, and there is no

evidence that the criteria are designed to preclude the development of any new betting shops in the Borough, as was put to me at the Hearing.

79. It has been put to me that the Council should approach the matter of non-retail uses in a similar manner to the London Borough of Brent. However, the focus of this Examination is the soundness of the submitted DSP DPD.

Having considered all the above matters, I find that the Council’s evidence base, while not comprehensive, is appropriate and proportionate, and that

principle of controlling the area concentrations of the specified uses is justified.

23 EB01 Figure 3

24

80. However, as submitted, the wording of paragraphs 2 (c) and (d) of the policy is confusing, which would impact on effectiveness. A SOCG, dated

11 April 2016, between the Council and Planning Potential on behalf of Power Leisure Bookmakers Ltd (Paddy Power) proposes replacing these

sections of the policy with a clear definition for area concentrations, and making a corresponding change to the area concentration maps for betting shops, takeaways and nightly-stay hostels in the DSP DPD appendices.

This is necessary for the effectiveness of the DSP DPD. MM7 provides the necessary policy changes. MM8 provides the corresponding changes to

the reasoned justification. In addition it refers to maps in the appendix to the DSP DPD which identify ‘hotspots’ for the uses identified in the policy. It is necessary for the justification of the policy for the maps, which have

been agreed in the SOCG, to be inserted in the Appendix and the existing figures 11a, 11b, 12a and 12b to be deleted. This is provided by MM10.

The Council will also need to reflect these changes on its Policies Map.

81. The effective implementation of the policy criteria relating to betting shops, takeaways and nightly-stay shelters will depend closely on up-to-

date information being available for development management purposes. This will need to take account of the potentially differing characteristics,

needs and impacts of each use. Additional support for the implementation and monitoring of the policy and its effectiveness is necessary, and is set

out in MM9.

Issue 7 – Whether the DSP DPD is sound in relation Community Facilities

82. Policy INF10 of the DSP DPD supports the development of community facilities, but, as submitted, the preferred locations were not included in

the policy. Instead, the reasoned justification explained that the locations are included in an appendix to the document and that they are identified on the Policies Map. As discussed above in relation to other designations, a

MM to policy INF10 is necessary for the Community Facilities Opportunity Areas to be designated and for the policy to be made effective. This is to

be found in MM27.

83. The Council has identified a site for the development of a school and other ancillary Class D1 uses at Flanders Road in order to meet local needs. For

this designation to be effective MM28, which includes the designation within Policy INF10, is necessary. It has been put to me that the provision

of a school site would result in the loss of sports facilities. Sports facilities, including playing pitches are, however, protected by Policies INF6a and INF8. It will be for the Council to balance the competing needs for

community facilities through its development management process.

84. Additional reasoned justification to direct the implementation and

monitoring of Policy INF10 is necessary, as well as a reference linking it to the monitoring framework in the CS. This is set out in MM29.

Crossrail

85. It has been put to me that Policy INF10 should provide for the

25

development of an additional Crossrail station at Silvertown, and that land should be safeguarded for this purpose on the Policies Map. This was

discussed at the Hearing, where the representor conceded that it may be too soon within the project to safeguard specific land in the DSP DPD, but

that a reference should be made in support of a Crossrail station at Silvertown in the text of the document.

86. Significant investment has been made in the initial feasibility studies,

which have been carried out by the representor in collaboration with private investors. These include a transport case for the station,

discussion of the wider benefits, and four site options. It was stated that a well-planned station in this vicinity could greatly improve access to London City Airport. The representor also asserts that private sector funding

would be available to support its development, although no legal agreement or other formal documentation has been submitted. The

representor contends that the locational requirements for a station at Silvertown would be constrained to an area where there is a 200m length of straight track, so that the scope for the station could be compromised

by other development in the area. However, while no objection has been raised in principle by TfL, additional business modelling, which had yet to

be funded, was still required the time of the Hearing, and significantly, the principle of making provision for a station at Silvertown in the DSP DPD

has not been raised by TfL.

87. The Council recognises that a station in this location would have the potential to increase connectivity and assist with the long term

regeneration of this part of Newham. Furthermore, it would not conflict with the CS Strategic Transport Policy INF1, which supports strategic

transport projects as they come forward or as identified in the LonP. The development of an additional station would, however, be a strategic transport matter for the review of the LonP. Accordingly, while there is no

objection in principle, it is outside the scope of the DSP DPD. It does not go to the soundness of the DSP DPD, and so it is not a matter requiring a

MM.

Nos 236 – 242 Barking Road

88. It has been put to me that the DSP DPD is unsound since it does not

identify Nos 236 – 242 Barking Road as a gym. This site for non-strategic housing (HSG 12) has been discussed in paragraph 29 above. Policy

INF10, being consistent with CS Policy INF8, gives priority to the location of community facilities, including leisure uses, in town centres. In this instance the site is outside the defined area of East Ham town centre. At

the Hearing the representor contended that there is a need for a gym in Barking Road following the closure of the former Hartley Centre on the

opposite side of the street. However, as a gym falls with Use Class D2 rather than Class D1, the criteria in paragraph 6 of Policy INF10, which provide for Class D1 uses where it can be demonstrated that there are no

available or affordable in-centre premises or sites, are not applicable. Furthermore, gym facilities are available within the East Ham centre.

26

Other matters

89. It has been put to me that the DSP DPD should include additional references to matters contained in the CS, such as the retail hierarchy.

This is not necessary as the DSP DPD is to be read with the CS and all extant development plan documents as a whole, and so the matter does not go to the soundness of the DSP DPD.

90. The relationship of the DSP DPD to the Mayor of London’s Riverside Opportunity Area Planning Framework (ROAPF) has been raised. While the

ROAPF is SPG to the LonP, it does not establish new policies and is to be read in the context of relevant development plans. Accordingly, it does not go to the soundness of the DSP DPD.

91. The concerns, which have been raised, relating to the effect of the Community Infrastructure Levy in the Borough are not a matter for this

Examination.

Assessment of Legal Compliance

Public Sector Equality Duty

92. The Council’s compliance with its Public Sector Equality Duty contained in the Equality Act 2010 has been raised by representors in relation to the absence of provision for Gypsy and Traveller accommodation in this DPD.

Having due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination, advance equality and foster good relations between persons who share relevant

protected characteristics and those who do not, I have considered the effect of the DSP DPD on Gypsies and Travellers.

93. As the DSP DPD makes no provision for Gypsies and Travellers but

identifies some 34 Non-strategic housing sites and 12 sites for mixed use development including housing, it could appear that a different approach

has been taken to provision for the different communities in the Borough. However, the Council was not in a position to carry out an up-to-date Gypsy and Traveller needs assessment within the timescale of this DPD for

the reasons explained in paragraph 17. Furthermore, the Council’s progress on the preparation of its GTA DPD has been discussed in

paragraph 20, above. Consequently, although the accommodation needs of the Gypsies and Travellers are being addressed separately from those of the settled community, it will not result in significant delay.

94. My examination of the compliance of the Plan with the legal requirements is summarised in the table below. I conclude that the Plan meets them all.

27

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

Local Development Scheme (LDS)

The DSP DPD is identified within the approved LDS December 2015 which sets out an expected adoption date of ‘Spring’ 2016. Although some limited

slippage has occurred, the DSP DPD’s content and timing are broadly compliant with the LDS.

Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) and

relevant regulations

The SCI was adopted in July 2015 and consultation has been compliant with the requirements therein,

including the consultation on the post-submission proposed ‘main modification’ changes (MM)

Sustainability Appraisal (SA)

SA24 25has been carried out and is adequate.

Appropriate Assessment (AA)

The Integrated Impact Assessment Report, September 2015, states that the Habitats Regulation

Assessment of the policies and site allocations in the DSP DPD will be carried out as the document is progressed. The individual appraisals of the Non-

strategic site allocations set out in the Integrated Impact Assessment Appendix 4, include evidence

indicating why AA is not necessary. Natural England supports this.

National Policy The DPD complies with national policy except where indicated and modifications are recommended.

2004 Act (as amended) and 2012 Regulations.

The DPD complies with the Act and the Regulations.

Public Sector Equality Duty The DPD complies with the Duty.

Overall Conclusion and Recommendation

95. The Plan has a number of deficiencies in relation to soundness for the reasons set out above which mean that I recommend non-adoption of it as submitted, in accordance with Section 20(7A) of

the 2004 Act. These deficiencies have been explored in the main issues set out above.

96. The Council has requested that I recommend main modifications to make the Plan sound and/or legally compliant and capable of

24 SD03 Integrated Impact Assessment 25 SD04 Integrated Impact Assessment Appendix 4

28

adoption. I conclude that with the recommended MMs set out in the Appendix the Newham’s Local Plan Detailed Sites and Policies

Development Plan Document satisfies the requirements of Section 20(5) of the 2004 Act and meets the criteria for soundness in the

National Planning Policy Framework.

SP5

Reasoned Justification

In line with the objective of recognising and protecting heritage and other assets, the reasoned justification of

Policy SP5 sets out that the Council will continue a programme of asset appraisal.

Further to paragraph 6.54 of the Local Plan: Core Strategy, this DPD continues that process by updating the locations

to be protected as Areas of Townscape Value (ATVs) and

31

Archaeological Priority Areas (APAs). ATV boundaries are

defined on the accompanying Policies Map whilst APAs can be found in Appendix 4. Defining boundaries on the accompanying Policies Map.

As per the Areas of Townscape Value Evidence Base

document (January 2015) and 2011 Character Study, new ATVs at Sebert Road, Manor Park, Forest Gate, and Canning Town are recognised for their special architectural and

historic character. Given the need to maximise the value of heritage assets within the Borough to be consistent with

Local Plan: Core Strategy policy SC5, the Options Appraisal document carried forward ATVs with the largest areas have been designated.

Archaeological Priority Areas have been updated as per

English Heritage advice detailed in the Evidence Base: Archaeological Priority Areas (English Heritage, 2014) document. The tiers correspond to consultation and

investigation expectations set out in GLASS (Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service) guidelines which

should be referred to in conjunction with policy SP5.

Reasoned Justification,

additional text

Implementation

Policy will be implemented primarily via the development

management process. Proposals should be accompanied by statements detailing their response to the components of Neighbourly Development set out in the policy in design

and management terms. Other policies to which there is a logical link are highlighted, encouraging responses that deal

with the issues in an integrated way. The policy intention is that applicants should pay attention

to the environmental, social and design based impacts of their proposals on neighbourliness within the site and in the

immediate area. In positive planning terms, the idea is to maximise the benefit of development through the ways in which it interacts with and plays its part in the wider

context. Early consideration of these matters will be encouraged through pre-application advice/design review

and in implementing other consents approaches such as Permission in Principle, as well as through more proactive regeneration and Local Implementation Plan work.

32

To support applications, proposals should pay attention to the quality benchmarks and standards and associated guidance set out in Table 1. Expert advice will be taken

within the Council or relevant partners to support these assessments and to ensure proposals are of the highest

quality and address Neighbourly Development from the outset.

Monitoring

The monitoring framework set out in the Local Plan: Core Strategy covers many aspects of design quality that relate to neighbourliness, including monitoring of housing

standards, flood risk mitigation and design quality auditing. Outcome indicators of particular relevance will be

satisfaction with the area, environmental nuisance levels, road traffic casualties, air quality, traffic congestion, and crime/fear of crime levels. Decisions and appeals

monitoring, which can include audits for additional scheme features such as car clubs and electric car charging points

also supports assessment of policy relevance and effectiveness.

MM4 26 Policy SP9 Policy

possible will introduce mitigation measures to improve water quality, in accordance with policies SC5, SC4 and

proposals will ensure that there is no increase in surface water run off worsening of flood risk from surface water

worsening of water quality, and preferably a positive response that contributes to improvements, in accordance with policies SC4 and INF7 which require the protection and

enhancement of aquatic and riparian habitats. Proposals should have regard to the EU Water Framework Directive

and the recommendations and objectives of the Environment Agency’s relevant River Basin Management Plans.

Critical Drainage Areas Fig.4 were defined by a 2006

amendment to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as ‘an area within Flood Zone 1 which has critical drainage problems and which has been notified to the local planning

authority by the Environment Agency’. Critical Drainage Areas were identified as part of Newham’s 2011 Surface

Water Management Plan, they are defined as the contributing catchment areas that feed into /influence the predicted flood extent where flood risk might otherwise be

low). Within the designation these areas drainage problems are already significant and should not be worsened by new

development and instead should be improved by it. Flood Zones 2 and 3 Fig.4. Planning Practice Guidance and

the Environment Agency define Flood Zone 2 as having a medium probability of flooding. Flooding is likely to occur on

this land once every 100 to 1000 years. Flood Zone 3 is split into two categories: 3a is defined as having a high

probability whereby a flooding event may occur once or more within 100 years; and 3b is described as the functional floodplain. This zone comprises land where water

has to flow or be stored in times of a flood event. Planning Practice Guidance, at paragraph 065, defines Flood Zones 2

and 3 as follows:

Zone 2, medium probability; land having between a 1-in-

100 and 1-in-1,000 annual probability of river flooding, or land having between a 1-in-200 and 1-in-1,000 annual probability of sea flooding.

Zone 3a, high probability; land having a 1-in-100 or

greater annual probability of river flooding, or land having a 1-in-200 or greater annual probability of sea flooding.

Zone 3b, the functional flood-plain; land where water has to flow or be stored in times of flood (not

separately distinguished from Zone 3a on the Environment Agency’s Flood Map).

In both these areas, flood risk is already clearly a significant issue requiring design mitigation and risk management

Reasoned Justification

Implementation

The policy will be applied through the Development Management process, with a site being identified as falling

within any relevant areas of cumulative impact concern through GIS mapping. The policy stipulates the expected response to each which should be set out in a statement

accompanying the application, and secured by conditions or legal agreements as appropriate. Other policies to which

there is a logical link are highlighted, encouraging responses that deal with the issues in an integrated way.

The policy intention is that the full breadth of cumulative impact issues that affect the borough are acknowledged at

every scale of development, the nature of cumulative impact being that impacts large and small together combine to be of greater significance. Early consideration of these

matters will be encouraged through pre-application advice/design review and in implementing other consents

approaches such as Permission in Principle, as well as through more proactive regeneration and Local Implementation Plan work.

To support applications, proposals should refer to the

supporting documents, relevant updates and if appropriate, specific agencies indicated in the policy.

Monitoring

The monitoring framework set out in the Local Plan: Core Strategy covers many aspects of cumulative impact, including monitoring of environmental nuisance, air and

water quality, infrastructure sufficiency and traffic congestion. In relation to outputs, of key importance will be

ensuring explicit consideration of cumulative impacts where relevant, in the officer’s decision, and as such policy usage

monitoring and associated output measures will be of particular relevance.

MM7 31 Policy SP10 2. In all areas, not exceeding any of the following definitions of area or linear concentrations of specific uses

(currently betting shops, takeaways, and nightly-stay hostels).

Linear concentrations:

35

a. two of the same uses in a row; or b. a separation distance of two units in other uses between two units with the same specified use.

Area concentrations:

c. Three of the same use within 400m (i.e. the presence of three overlapping 400m

catchment areas drawn around existing premises in the same use); or The presence

of three or more overlapping 400m catchments, drawn around existing premises in the same use; or

a site having three or more other premises in the same use within 400m (i.e. the presence

of three or more overlapping catchment areas) d. a site having three other premises in the

same use within 400m.

The area concentrations of identified uses cumulative impact concern above are indicatively mapped within Appendix xx 1 of this document.

MM8 32 SP10 Reasoned Justification

Reasoned Justification In the case of linear concentrations, assessment will ignore

intervening road junctions and continue around corners where relevant. In terms of area concentrations, Figures 11

to 13 (Appendix 1) provide indicative mapping of existing uses, identifying ‘hotspots’ where three or more 400m catchment areas overlap and where further proposals for

identified uses will not generally be supported. Takeaway and Betting Shop Hotspots identified in Fig11a/12b maps

shown in Appendix 1 relate to long-standing concerns about the impact of these uses on Town and Local Centre quality, vitality and viability; local character; health and anti-social

behaviour. Various area-based concentration definitions can be used to map them (see Cumulative Impact

Supplementary Evidence Base document) but the preferred methods are as set out in Figs. 11/12. Figs 11/12.Figs. 11b

and 12b denote existing ‘clusters’ of 3 or more of the same use in 400m, which appears to describe where most impact is identified and would be a noticeable number within a five-

minute walk Alternatively, Figs 11a and 12a demonstrate the presence of overlapping 400m catchment areas around

existing premises, identifying where ‘hotspots’ of the same use exist and should not be further exacerbated. Given the

36

problems associated with clusters the cumulative impact of

these uses, a hotspot zone or cluster will be used to define a tipping point beyond which further proposals will not generally be acceptable.

Additional Reasoned Justification

Implementation

Policy will be implemented through the development management process through the application of GIS

analysis in the assessment process, drawing on the Council’s survey work and associated GIS records, and

through the use of appropriate conditions and, or legal agreements. It is also the Council’s intention that its published evidence base on these matters helps to indicate

the in-principle acceptability (or otherwise) of relevant proposals in particular locations. Other policies to which

there is a logical link are highlighted, encouraging responses that deal with the issues in an integrated way.

Monitoring

Effectiveness will be monitored via the framework set out in the Local Plan: Core Strategy, specifically indicators listed in relation to the Successful Places theme, particularly those

relating to town centre health/quality and healthy urban planning. These are furnished through consents monitoring

and town and local centre survey work which updates GIS databases. There is scope within these to further scrutinise betting shop and nightly-stay hostels consents. Outcome

indicators of particular relevance will be satisfaction with the area, environmental nuisance levels, and mortality and

obesity statistics. Decisions and appeals monitoring also supports assessment of policy relevance and effectiveness.

MM12 35 J4 Reasoned

Justification

Reasoned Justification In order to support existing businesses, this policy provides

for the small- scale intensification of B Class and sui generis employment-generating floorspace outside of the employment land hierarchy, and scope for small-scale walk-

to facilities to meet the needs of people working within industrial areas. The provision of such facilities should be in

line with retail and community facilities policies (INF5, INF8 & INF10) which prioritise town and local centre locations for such uses but allow for small scale local provision where

other access is lacking (ie. within 400-800m, a 5-10 minute walk). Office space should be clearly ancillary to main

industrial uses on a LIL, and whilst the scale is a matter of fact and degree, in line with SIL, this means that B1a floorspace should not be large-scale, predominate or

compromise the wider industrial offer (see London Plan 2015 paragraph 2.79).

In relation to managed release and transition of employment land, the policy requires a twelve-month

period, for demand testing to promote redevelopment of underused employment sites whilst helping to identify those

that have reasonable employment potential. The Mayor of London’s SPG Land for Industry and Transport, provides guidance on how this should be effected. Further detail has

been included as to how the development of strategic sites should be managed, ensuring proposals in these locations

help to address convergence objectives and satisfy requirements for local employment and training.

Implementation

Policy will be implemented through the development management process which will scrutinise statements

40

submitted in support of the criteria relevant to a proposal’s

location. In doing so, the Council’s own survey records and detailed guidance in the Mayor of London’s Industrial Capacity SPG (and subsequent updates) will be drawn upon.

Other policies to which there is a logical link are highlighted, encouraging responses that deal with the issues in an

integrated way. It is also the Council’s intention that the site allocations

(LMUAs) and designations (LILs, MBOAs) encompassed in the policy help to indicate the in-principle acceptability (or

otherwise) of proposals in particular locations. Moreover, they provide a positive planning framework in which to re-direct inappropriate proposals, and where opportunities are

highlighted to prospective developers, supporting delivery by providing a degree of certainty. Both the designations

and allocations are sufficiently flexible to help respond to market realities and support deliverability within a strategic framework that has taken direction from real-life schemes

and other policy benchmarks.

The policy intention is that the balance between homes and jobs, and industrial change is carefully curated to ensure jobs are not neglected in the face of a strong residential

market. As well as introducing greater control over smaller employment-generating sites, the policy positively plans for

small businesses and areas of change, helping to identify new employment-led development opportunities. Early

consideration of these matters will be encouraged through pre-application advice/design review and in implementing other consents approaches such as Permission in Principle,

as well as through more proactive regeneration work.

Monitoring

Effectiveness of employment-generating policies and supporting designations and allocations are already

provided for by the Local Plan: Core Strategy monitoring framework, with outputs concerning employment space/sites-related planning activity, environmental

nuisance linked to economic activity, and employability measures being particularly relevant, alongside ongoing

monitoring of employment land ‘health’/supply. Housing delivery on LMUAs is also accounted for within housing monitoring. Outcome indicators of most relevance concern

business and economic activity, deprivation and satisfaction with the area. Decisions and appeals monitoring also

supports assessment of policy relevance and effectiveness.

Reasoned Justification

Reasoned Justification

The Local Plan Core Strategy’s overarching spatial strategy includes a commitment to the delivery of 37,5001 additional

homes between 2012 and 2027. The strategic sites identified within the Local Plan Core Strategy will deliver a

substantial proportion of the housing required to meet need within the Borough. In addition to the strategic sites this

DPD allocates a number of non-strategic housing sites for either residential, or where specified, residential-led mixed use development. These sites can be found on the Local

Plan Policies Map and are listed in Appendix 3 (Fig.16). The sites allocated have the potential to deliver at least 10 units

each, and the Sites Schedule in Appendix 2 provides further information on the capacity (indicative residential typologies), relevant spatial policies, key opportunities and

constraints and expected delivery.

As an indication of the overall contribution to the spatial strategy, the following table sets out the approximate capacity (subject to design-stage refinement in line with

43

policies) of these sites by spatial policy area to the nearest

5 units. In line with strategic site allocations, indicative residential typologies are determined by the site’s context and table 3.2 of the London Plan 2015. Further explanation

Implementation

The overarching policy intention is to recognise the need for

specialist housing provision, seeking to manage its delivery against conventional supply, whilst ensuring balance in satisfying local and wider pan-London needs. Policy will be

implemented via the development management process. Proposals should be accompanied by statements that set

out the responses to the relevant criteria; these will be secured by condition or legal agreement as appropriate. Other policies to which there is a logical link are

highlighted, encouraging responses that deal with the issues in an integrated way. It is also the Council’s

intention that its published evidence base on these matters and online Public Access records of consents should help to indicate the in-principle acceptability (or otherwise) of

relevant proposals. The positive allocation of small non-strategic sites for mainstream residential also gives a clear

market signal about expectations for these sites and opportunities therein, reflecting strategic housing policies that prioritise flexible mainstream housing, and supporting

delivery by providing for a degree of certainty.

MM21 47 SC5 Reasoned Justification

Reasoned Justification With around 50% of land in the Borough falling within a

high risk flood zone and Newham’s riverside position alongside the Thames, the opportunity to seek the

improvement of flood defences is justified. The Environment Agency’s Thames Estuary 2100 Plan (TE2100) makes recommendations for the maintenance,

refurbishment and improvement of flood defences and is referenced in Policy 5.12 of the London Plan. While

legislation regarding the prevention of floods already places liability for the maintenance of flood defences on the Riparian Owner (the freeholder of land under or

adjacent to those defences) the inclusion of a TE2100 the 16m safeguarding area on the Policies Map will make this

obligation clearer. The policy sets out expectations on all developments falling within 10 16m of the river edge identified flood defences.

MM22 48 SC5 Reasoned

Justification, additional

text

Implementation

Policy SC5 will be implemented via the development management process. Proposals, paying regard to the

thresholds embedded in the policy, should demonstrate how requirements have been met. Other policies to which there is a logical link are highlighted, encouraging responses that

deal with the issues in an integrated way. Responses will be secured by conditions or legal agreements as

appropriate. The policy intention is that all scales of development should

demonstrate sustainable design improvements, not leaving the burden of enhanced environmental resilience solely on

major schemes. Early consideration of these matters will be encouraged through pre-application advice/design review and in implementing other consents approaches such as

47

Permission in Principle, as well as through more proactive

regeneration work. The onus is on the developer to engage with the LPA to understand the policy requirements relating to their proposals at a sufficiently early stage of their design

work to ensure that they can be incorporated in the most technically feasible and cost effective manner.

In relation to the additional BREEAM requirements introduced through this policy only*, applicants may submit

evidence concerning their impact on development viability for consideration as part of wider viability discussions (e.g.

in relation to policies H1 and H2) subject to viability assessment protocols. In these circumstances, family and affordable housing and employability contributions plus CIL

liabilities (as per Policy INF9, H1 and H2 and London Plan Policy 8.2) will take priority over BREEAM requirements, but

applicants will be expected to deliver as many BREEAM credits as possible (i.e. each will need to be costed and only the bare minimum dropped to make a scheme viable where

necessary). The same approach will apply if there are any technical constraints to achieving BREAAM credits: the

maximum number possible of those required will be expected to be achieved, bearing in mind the expectation concerning early engagement referred to above. Advice will

be sought from external assessors at the applicant’s cost where necessary.

Proposals should make reference to relevant guidance

where available. Example sources might include (but are not limited to) the Wildlife Trust, GiGL, Woodland Trust, Natural England and the RSPB in regards biodiversity;

Susdrain / CIRIA and the Environment Agency in regards sustainable urban drainage; the Building Research

Establishment and the Mayor of London’s London Plan Sustainable Design and Construction SPG (and subsequent updates) for more comprehensive sustainable design

advice. Where appropriate, expert advice will be sought within the Council and from relevant partners to support

the assessment of applications and ensure proposals are of the highest quality possible.

Monitoring

The monitoring framework set out in the Local Plan: Core Strategy covers various aspects of sustainable design affected through the planning process, notably flood risk

management, biodiversity enhancement/protection and BREEAM/sustainability credentials of consented schemes.

Outcomes concerning resource consumption and environmental protection and quality will also be of relevance. Decisions and appeals monitoring which may

48

include an audit of consents in particular areas (e.g.

TE2100, Critical Drainage Areas) also supports assessment of policy relevance and effectiveness.

* i.e. BREEAM ‘Excellent’ for non-residential majors, and BREEAM

‘very good’ for non-residential developments of between 500 and 999 sq. m (given that other requirements are already part of

the Development Plan through the London Plan and Core

Strategy Policy SC1 and SC2).

Reasoned Justification

Reasoned Justification

As per paragraphs 6.271 and 6.272 of the Local Plan:

Core Strategy, this DPD sets out to update and define the boundaries of the open space component of green

infrastructure to be protected across the Borough. As shown in the policy and schedule above, protected

green infrastructure includes locally-significant green space, waterways, land designated as SINC, MOL or

Green Belt, and other non-designated elements such

as trees. Applicants should be aware that trees, whilst not specifically designated given the numbers involved,

are afforded additional protection by policies SP5, SC5 and SP8 and in certain cases, Tree Preservation

Orders; the blue ribbon network is also provided with additional protection by Policy INF7. It should be noted

that not all such open space is publicly accessible, but it can nonetheless perform green infrastructure

functions as set out in INF6.

The Reasoned Justification of Policy INF6 sets out the importance of green and open space and summarises

deficiencies within Newham. This additional policy facilitates implementation by providing clarity and up-

to-date designations.

MM27 50 Policy INF10

6. Support proposals within the defined Community Facilities Opportunity Areas as set out in Table g

below, where Class D1 uses would be acceptable to meet local needs, when it can be demonstrated that

58

there are no available or affordable in-centre premises

or sites (see Part 2 - Spatial Allocations and Designations for details).

MM28 50 Policy

INF10

To promote the delivery of community facilities in

accordance with identified need:

8. A site at Flanders Road is allocated for D1 school use and other ancillary D1 uses as appropriate according to local need.

MM29 52 INF10

Reasoned Justification

Implementation

Policy will be implemented via the development

management process, with the expectation that proposals are accompanied by supporting statements and a management plan that detail responses to the relevant

criteria; these will be secured by conditions or legal agreement as appropriate. Other policies to which there is a

logical link are highlighted, encouraging responses that deal with the issues in an integrated way. CFOA allocations further provide for a positive planning framework linked to

market realities in which inappropriate proposals can be redirected.

The policy seeks to ensure that applicants consider how best to maximise the effectiveness of community facilities

not only through careful design and management, but also in the context of the broader spatial strategy which

balances the need for community facilities with other demands on land. Early consideration of design, locational and needs based justifications will be explored through pre-

application advice and design review.

Monitoring The existing monitoring framework set out in the Local Plan:

59

Core Strategy provides for the monitoring of relevant

outputs including D1 floorspace gains in different parts of the borough (town centres, strategic sites, CFOAs etc.). Outcomes concerning infrastructure sufficiency in terms of

distributional and other ‘fitness’ criteria are also the target of ongoing evidence base and audit work, along with

headline ‘satisfaction with the area’ data. Decisions and appeals monitoring also supports assessment of policy relevance and effectiveness.
