  1. The purpose of this report is to notify Members of correspondence received from the SDNPA.
  2. **The Parking Calculator referred to in the correspondence below has been distributed by email as a background paper.

Message from South Downs National Park Authority

Parking Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) Consultation

South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) is consulting on a draft Parking Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) (full title – Guidance on Parking for Residential and Non-Residential Development).

We would like to hear your views on the document. Further details of how to respond to the consultation are given below.

The purpose of the Parking SPD is to give clear direction to all those involved in the planning application and decision making process regarding the provision of cycle and vehicle parking for new development in the South Downs National Park (SDNP). The Parking SPD applies to both residential and non-residential development and, along with some locally specific Neighbourhood Development Plan policies, will replace all previous standards provided by the county councils in the SDNP once adopted.

The Parking SPD will be a material consideration for relevant planning applications once adopted.

Responding to the Consultation

The Parking SPD and related documents are available to view on the SDNPA website and can also be viewed at the South Downs Centre, North Street, Midhurst, West Sussex, GU29 9DH.

**The exception is the Parking Calculator which is attached to this email and is Appendix 1 of the Parking SPD. This was due to technical problems uploading to the website. If you have had problems receiving the attachment in your email inbox the Parking Calculator will hopefully be uploaded to the website later next week.

The consultation will run for a period of 8 weeks, starting on Thursday 24 September 2020.

All comments must be received by 5pm on Thursday 19 November 2020.

Please respond by email to planningpolicy@southdowns.gov.uk or in writing to Planning Policy, South Downs National Park Authority, South Downs Centre, North Street, Midhurst, West Sussex, GU29 9DH.

After the end of the consultation period, any comments received will be considered in reviewing the draft SPD prior to adoption.

Kind regards

Kevin Wright

Subject: Agenda Item 11 –  Lewes District Council – Land Availability Assessment (LAA) – Invitation to Join.


  1. Members are invited to note the following correspondence received from Lewes District and Eastbourne Borough Councils.

Lewes and Eastbourne Planning Policy Consultations

Lewes District Council – Land Availability Assessment (LAA)

You’ve been invited to participate in the Lewes District Council – Land Availability Assessment (LAA) consultation by the consultation manager, Eastbourne Borough Council (Anna Clare).

This consultation is open from 28 Sep 2020 at 12:00 to 18 Dec 2020 at 23:59.

The Land Availability Assessment (LAA) previously known as the Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) is a detailed document that identifies and assesses land to support future development.

As part of the LAA 2020 we are inviting submission of site for consideration in the new Local Plan, as well as sites for housing and employment uses, we are also seeking submission of sites with potential for renewable energy generation and green infrastructure.

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires us to identify and maintain at least a five year supply of deliverable and developable land for housing. The study assesses whether sites submitted to us for housing are either Deliverable (suitable, achievable and available) or Developable (suitable with a reasonable prospect of being available at a specific point in time) for future housing development.

Th e LAA is an important technical piece of evidence however the study is not a statement of Council policy and does not in itself determine whether a site should be allocated for development in the next Local Plan nor does it necessarily mean it would be granted planning permission.

The call for sites does not include the part of Lewes District which lies within the South Downs National Park.

Please note this invitation expires after 28 dates, however you can still access the call for sites at, https://planningpolicyconsult.lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk/consult.ti/SHELAA/consultationHome

Minutes

HASSOCKS PARISH COUNCIL

Minutes of the Planning Committee Meeting held virtually on
Monday 5 October 2020 at 7.30pm

Attendees:  Parish Councillors: Jane Baker, Kristian Berggreen, Robert Brewer (until 8.30pm), Bill Hatton, Nick Owens (Chair) and Claire Tester.

In Attendance: Deputy Clerk: Tracy Forte

P20/71           APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE.  Apologies for absence were received from Cllr Leslie Campbell.

P20/72           DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST. There were no declarations of interest.

P20/73           MINUTES.   It was RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting held on 14 September 2020, be signed by the Chair as a true and accurate record of the meeting.

P20/74           PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. There were no members of the public present.

P20/75           The Chair proposed bringing item 8, HASSOCKS NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN POLICY 5, Enabling Zero Carbon, forward to discuss prior to considering applications.  This was agreed by the Committee.

P20/76           HASSOCKS NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN POLICY 5, Enabling Zero Carbon.  At the Planning Committee meeting held on Monday 9 March 2020, it had been agreed that the Committee would review the application of Policy 5 towards household extensions later in the year, ideally following expected Government revision of Building  Regulations in the Summer of 2020.   The Committee currently applies Policy 5 to new dwellings and members were invited to discuss whether it wishes to extend the application of Policy 5 towards household extensions.

Cllr Nick Owens noted that the application of Policy 5 to extensions and alterations poses some difficulties due to having limited regulations in force to provide clear guidance.  It was also noted that Members have differences of opinions as to what is considered acceptable.  Cllr Tester pointed out that the wording of Policy 5 was positive, i.e./ ‘support will be given….’ suggesting that the Committee could actively support applications for extensions and alterations which apply the criteria required to meet Policy 5, as opposed to refusing or negatively responding to those that don’t.  It was noted that this approach was generally not used with other Policies.  After a detailed discussion, it was agreed that extensions and alterations to existing properties required a different approach to that for new build properties. Therefore based on the discussions the Chair proposed that the Committee should fully apply Policy 5 to new build properties and reinforce positive support to applications for extensions and alterations which evidence good sustainability.  The chair abstained from voting, all other Members voted in favour of the proposal.

P20/76.1        It was therefore RESOLVED that Policy 5 would be fully applied to new build properties and that the Committee would explicitly affirm support for extensions and alterations which evidenced good sustainability.

P20/76.2        It was AGREED that this would be reviewed when there has been a substantive change to Building Regulations introducing clear sustainability legislation.
