1. Introduction

1.1 This Local Plan Monitoring Report is based upon the monitoring period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021.

1.2 The monitoring report contains information on the implementation of the Local Development Scheme and the extent to which policies in development plan documents are being successfully implemented.

1.3 The National Planning Practice Guidance states that local planning authorities should publish annually a monitoring report that shows progress with Local Plan preparation, reports any activity relating to the duty to cooperate and shows how the implementation of policies in the Local Plan is progressing.

1.4 The Rushcliffe Local Plan part 2 was adopted in October 2019, therefore the monitoring report of 2020/21 will monitor the targets set within part 2 of the Local Plan, together with those set in Local Plan Part 1, Core Strategy. 

1.5 The purpose of the Local Plan Monitoring Report is to monitor progress against the targets established in the Local Plan and to assess how effective these policies have been by monitoring appropriate data.

1.6 Regulation 34 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (Part 8) sets out what information the reports must contain. The following report has been produced in accordance with these Regulations.

1.7 The Monitoring Report has been structured into four sections as follows:

  • Key Characteristics of the Borough
  • Local Plan Updates
  • Duty to Cooperate
  • Key Monitoring Indicators

2. Key Characteristics of the Borough

2.1 The population of the borough at the time of the 2011 Census was 111,129. This was a 5.25 per cent increase from 2001. It is estimated that the population at 2020 is 121,400. The represents approximately a 9 per cent population increase over the monitoring period. The East Midlands region’s population increased by 7% over the same period with the national population increasing by 6%. 

2.2 The balance between male and female residents is 49 per cent male and 51 per cent female. 

2.3 The 2011 census results show that the Borough has an ageing population, with residents over 60 representing just over 25 per cent of the population (compared with 22% nationally). There are more than 5,800 residents over the age of 80, representing over 5 per cent of the population, the same as the national average.

2.4 The percentage of the population aged over 65 increased by 19 per cent between 2001 and 2011.

Ethnicity

2.5 Over 90% of the Rushcliffe population gave their ethnic group as ‘White’ in the 2011 Census.

2.6 The largest non-white ethnic group in the borough is ‘Asian/Asian British’ at 4.1 per cent, followed by ‘Mixed/Multiple Ethnic Group’ (1.8%), and ‘Black or Black British’ (0.6%). 

Deprivation

2.7 According to the IMD (Indices of Multiple Deprivation) 2019 rankings, Rushcliffe Borough is one of the least deprived in England, being ranked at fourth least deprived in the country based on the overall IMD score (out of 317 local authorities). 

2.8 There are pockets of relative deprivation in the borough with areas in Cotgrave and Keyworth amongst the 40% most deprived in England.

Economy

Employment

2.9 At the start of the Core Strategy monitoring period, unemployment was 5.2 per cent (March 2012). It has since decreased to 3.4 per cent for the year ending
September 2021.

2.10 Economic activity rates compare favourably to the East Midlands and national averages. As of September 2021, 82.6 per cent of residents aged 16-64 were economically active in Rushcliffe, compared to 78.3 per cent for the East Midlands and 78.5 per cent for Great Britain.

2.11 Out of the 172 wards in Nottinghamshire, only one Rushcliffe ward (Neville and Langar) feature amongst the top half for highest unemployment rates.

3. Local Plan Updates

3.1 The Local Development Scheme (LDS) sets out what Development Plan Documents (DPDs) the Council intends to prepare as part of the Local Plan and the programme for their operation. 

3.2 The Borough Council now has a full Local Plan through the adoption of Local Plan Part 1, Rushcliffe Core Strategy and Local Plan Part 2 Land and Planning Policies. The early stages of reviewing the Core Strategy has commenced through the preparation of the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan together with Broxtowe Borough Council, Gedling Borough Council and Nottingham City Council. An issues and Options consultation took place during the monitoring period 2020-2021.

Local Development Scheme and Milestones

3.3 The 2018 LDS was published in August 2018, part way through this monitoring period. The dates referred to in this section are based on those dates included in the 2018 LDS. The previous Local Plan Monitoring Report (2017/18) was assessed against the 2016 LDS. 

3.4 Section 113 of the Localism Act (Local Development Monitoring) removed the requirement on local authorities to submit the LDS to the Secretary of State. 

3.5 A number of supporting studies were also completed during the monitoring period that support the production of the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan.

Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs)

3.6 The following SPDs have been formally adopted and are still used:

  • Wind Energy SPD (June 2015)
  • Melton Road Edwalton Development Framework SPD (October 2015)
  • Rushcliffe Residential Design Guide SPD (February 2009)

3.7 It is proposed that the following SPDs may be produced:

  • Affordable Housing
  • Development Requirements and Planning Contributions

Neighbourhood Plans

3.8 The Localism Act 2011 makes provision for Neighbourhood Plans to be prepared. Neighbourhood Plans are community-based documents which will be initiated by a Parish/Town Council or Neighbourhood Forum and ultimately adopted by the Council as part of the development plan. They should contain a vision and general planning policies and proposals for the future development of land in the designated area. As the local planning authority, the Borough Council has a duty to provide support to help people develop their
neighbourhood plan.

3.9 There are five key stages to neighbourhood planning:

  • Defining the neighbourhood
  • Preparing the plan
  • Independent examination
  • Community referendum
  • Legal force

3.10 As of 31 March 2021, (there were ten neighbourhood plans currently either in development or adopted):

Adopted Prior to 31 March 2021

  • East Leake (November 2015)
  • Keyworth (June 2018)
  • Radcliffe on Trent (October 2017)
  • Gotham (30 January 2020)
  • Upper Broughton (30 January 2020)

In preparation

  • Bingham (designated August 2017)
  • Hickling (pre examination consultation in progress on 31 March 2021)
  • Tollerton (designated November 2016)
  • Colston Basset (Referendum to be held during 2021-2022)
  • Ruddington (Referendum to be held during 2021-2022)

4. Duty to Cooperate

4.1 Section 110 of the Localism Act inserts the additional section 33A (duty in co-operation to planning of sustainable development) into the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The responsibility it introduces applies to all local planning authorities, county councils and other bodies (as prescribed in Regulation 4 of the Town and Country (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012).

4.2 The Council is satisfied that it has fulfilled the legal requirements of the Duty to Cooperate in preparing the Local Plan over the last monitoring period.

Local Planning Authorities

4.3 Extensive collaboration work with the neighbouring authorities in the Housing Market Area took place throughout development of the Local Plan Part 1: Core Strategy. This collaboration has continued through the preparation stages of the Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies.

4.4 Partnership groups involving other local planning authorities includes:

  • Greater Nottingham Join Planning Advisory Board (JPAB);
  • Greater Nottingham Executive Steering Group;
  • D2N2 Partnership Board;
  • Greater Nottingham Housing Market Area (HMA) Group;
  • Nottinghamshire Policy Officers Group (NPOG)
  • Nottinghamshire Development Management Liaison Group; and
  • Greater Nottingham Development Monitoring Group

4.5 The input that these prescribed bodies had in shaping the Rushcliffe’s Local Plan is broadly split into three main but overlapping components – (a) evidence gathering; (b) preparation of the Local Plan content (policies and selection of allocations); and (c) the identification of development related infrastructure requirements (e.g. school places and health care facilities).

Greater Nottingham Joint Planning Advisory Board (JPAB)

4.6 The JPAB was established in April 2008 to advise the Greater Nottingham’s constituent councils on the alignment of planning work across the region and the Greater Nottingham Growth Point Programme of Development. JPAB is chaired by Broxtowe Borough and meets every two/three months and is attended by Councillors and senior officers from Ashfield District Council, Broxtowe Borough Council, Derbyshire County Council, Erewash Borough Council, Gedling Borough Council, Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire
County Council and Rushcliffe Borough Council.

Greater Nottingham Executive Steering Group

4.7 This is attended by senior officers for each Council in the JPAB partnership with meetings every two/three months to discuss strategic planning issues and directing the delivery of strategic development projects.

D2N2 Partnership Board

4.8 Nottinghamshire Local Authorities are represented at the D2N2 Partnership Board by Cllr Keith Girling of Nottinghamshire County Council and Cllr Simon Robinson.

Nottingham Core Housing Market Area (HMA) Officers Group

4.9 The Nottingham Core HMA officers group currently meets once a month to discuss the management and progress with the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan, Part 2 Local Plans and the Ashfield District Local Plan. This group discusses strategic planning matters and cross boundary planning issues. 

Nottinghamshire Policy Officers Group (NPOG)

4.10 The Nottinghamshire Policy Officers Group, comprising planning policy officers from all Nottinghamshire councils, meets every quarter. This group updates members on progress with Local Plans and has a useful role in co-ordinating joint working where a consistent approach is needed. 

Nottinghamshire Development Management Liaison Group Meetings

4.11 Development Management officers meet quarterly to discuss development management issues. 

Greater Nottingham Development Monitoring Group

4.12 Policy and/or technical officers to discuss monitoring arrangements in order for each council to ensure data is collected and reported consistently across the HMA.

5. Key Monitoring Updates

Housing Data (including 5 year land supply)

Housing Requirement and Delivery

5.1 The housing requirement for the Borough, including the methodology for calculating 5 year land supply, is set by Policy 3 of the Core Strategy. The policy requires the delivery of a minimum of 13,150 new homes between 2011 and 2028, identifying that the following phases of housing delivery will be used for monitoring purposes:

2012 – 2013

  • 500
  • 250 per annum

2014 – 2018

  • 2,350
  • 470 per annum

2019 – 2023

  • 6,500
  • 1,300

2024 - 2028

  • 4,100
  • 820 per annum

As the strategic policies are over 5 years old, 5 land supply is now calculated using the standard methodology. The standard method for Rushcliffe has been calculated from a base point of 31 March 2021. The standard method requires the Governments 2014- based household projections to be used to set a baseline requirement figure for average annual household growth over a 10 year period.

5 Year Land Supply

5.3 The annual HLA review is one source of information that is used to update the Borough Council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). The SHLAA is used to refresh the Borough Council’s housing trajectory (see Figure 2) and 5 year land supply assessment.

5.4 It is calculated that for the period April 2021- March 2026 Rushcliffe has a 9.2 years supply of housing. 

Requirements

Method

5 year land supply assessment 2021 - 2026

  • Housing target for 5 year period 2021-2026 (597/year) - 2985
  • 5 Year Housing Requirement (5 year target plus 5% buffer) - 3134
  • Gross supply calculation - 5871
  • Lapse assumption based upon SHLAA methodology - 105
  • Net supply calculation - 5766
  • Total five year supply ((5766/3134)*5) - 9.2

5.5 The five year land supply assessment is updated as and when necessary, often more frequently than annually. The most up to date 5 year supply calculation is available on the Borough Council’s Local Plan monitoring webpage. This may be more up to date than the calculation included above.

Gross Completions on Previously Developed Land (PDL)

5.6 One of the guiding principles of the NPPF is to encourage the effective use of land by reusing land that has been previously developed. The definition of Previously Developed Land (PDL) is included in the glossary of the NPPF.

5.7 During the monitoring period, 30% of new dwellings (gross) were built on PDL. This is a decrease from previous monitoring periods, with the number of houses built on PDL averaging at 41% since the start of the plan period. The previous years’ increase in percentage was due to a large number of dwellings coming forward on the allocated former colliery site at Cotgrave, which for a number of years was the largest site that was delivering units. Over the past couple of years a number of greenfield sites have also started delivering (e.g. which has meant the percentage of units delivered on previously developed land as a proportion of overall delivery has started tailing off. The Core Strategy allocations and draft allocations made through Local Plan Part 2 are predominantly greenfield sites. It is therefore anticipated that the percentage of houses developed on PDL will continue to decrease.

Note: The appeal Inspector for Stragglethorpe was of the view this pitch requirement was to meet existing (not new) need, therefore this would not count towards new supply. This was reinforced by Screveton appeal Inspector.

5.8 The 2010 Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) Update identified a need for 13 permanent Gypsy and Traveller pitches in Rushcliffe.

5.9 In terms of future provision, Policy 8 of the Local Plan Part 1: Rushcliffe Core Strategy states that sites for Gypsy and Traveller provision will be made in other Development Plan Documents and both the strategic site policies for the Sustainable Urban Extensions at South of Clifton and East of Gamston/North of Tollerton identify that these strategic sites are required to make appropriate provision. Outline planning permission for mixed use development, including 4 pitches has now been granted. Whilst this will provide for an additional 4 pitches, it is anticipated that these pitches will not form part of the 5 year land supply of traveller pitches until firm proposals are significantly progressed.

5.10 The 2016 South Nottinghamshire Gypsy & Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) 2014-2029 identifies a need for 4 Gypsy and Traveller pitches to be allocated between 2014 and 2029 in Rushcliffe with 3 of these required between 2014 and 2019. Since the publication of the 2016 GTAA, planning permission for an additional nine pitches has been granted. The permission for a single pitch at Stragglethorpe Lane however is not permanent and is restricted to a period of 4 years which ceases in October 2021. Cedar Lodge, Radcliffe on Trent was included in the 2016 GTAA study as a site with permission for 6 pitches. That original permission was granted in November 2012 and accommodated six households in total. Permission has subsequently been granted for an additional 6 caravans (comprising of 2 caravans for 2 additional households and 4 touring caravans) (16/00634/VAR). The Council had previously been of the opinion that this represented a pitch increase of 2 which should therefore be deducted from the overall pitch requirement identified in the GTAA. However, the Planning Inspector for the recent Stragglethorpe appeal was of the view that although this only represented a
theoretical increase as in reality it does not provide new pitches to meet general need as it is only providing for an expansion of an existing site. 

5.11 As the permission for the single pitch at Stragglethorpe Lane, Cotgrave is due to cease use in October 2021, it cannot be considered as part of the five year supply.

5.12 Permission for a permanent site at Spring View, Screveton was granted on appeal this monitoring year (appeal decision date 17 December 2018). The site is limited to 6 pitches. This meets a newly identified need.

Employment Development

5.14 There were 1 completion for employment development over the monitoring thresholds (0.01ha or 100 square metres) during the monitoring period. Cumulatively this resulted in an additional 2,100 square metres of floorspace.

5.15 There is a significant amount of employment land available, due to unimplemented permissions for larger mixed use schemes (e.g. Former RAF Newton and land north of Bingham). A number of these are allocated sites in the Core Strategy.

Available Employment Land

5.16 Policy 5 of the Core Strategy establishes the strategic requirements for employment provision and economic development, including minimum employment space and land requirements over the plan period (to 2028). The policy identifies that there should be a minimum 67,000m2 of new office floorspace (in Use Classes B1a and B1b) and a minimum of 20ha of employment land for industrial and warehouse uses.

5.17 The three strategic sites allocated by the Core Strategy in locations around the main urban area of Nottingham will provide for around 44ha of new employment development.

5.18 Elsewhere in the borough, the strategic allocations at the former Cotgrave Colliery, at the former RAF Newton and at Land North of Bingham will provide for around a further 26.5ha of employment land. Core Strategy policy allows for a mix of B1 (business), B2 (general industrial), and B8 (storage and distribution). There are also some none-strategic employment and mixed use sites allocated within Local Plan Part 2 at Bingham, Bunny, Cotgrave, Keyworth and Radcliffe on Trent.

Affordable housing delivery 819 new affordable homes have been completed since the start of the plan period. This equates to 18% of overall completions. 91 affordable units were completed over the last monitoring year.
Between 2011-2018 the Core Strategy target was completion of 190 affordable dwellings. This target was exceeded with 281 affordable units built over this period. The target for 2018-2023 is for
1,850 new affordable units. 410 affordable units have so far been built over this period.

 

Policy 4: Nottingham-Derby Green Belt

Nottingham-Derby Green Belt indicators
Indicator Commentary
Location and area of land removed from the Green Belt

With the adoption of the Core Strategy, the following sites were removed from the Green Belt:

  • Melton Road, Edwalton
  • Edwalton Golf Course
  • East of Gamston/North of Tollerton
  • RAF Newton
  • Land South of Clifton

As a result, a total of 670 hectares of land has been removed from the Green Belt. A further 326 Hectares of land from the green belt was released
following on from the adoption of Local Plan Part 2. The majority of the green belt release was as a result of insetting villages that were washed over by the green belt, together with accommodating non strategic allocations for development.

 

Policy 5: Employment Provision

Employment Provision indicators
Indicator Commentary

Available supply office floorspace

Available supply of industrial and
warehouse land

Policy 5 of the Core Strategy
establishes the strategic requirements
for employment provision and economic
development, including minimum
employment space and land
requirements over the plan period (to
2028). This policy identifies that there
should be a minimum 67,000m2 of new
office floorspace (in Use Classes B1a
and B1b) and a minimum of 20ha of
employment land for industrial and
warehouse uses.

The three strategic sites allocated by
the Core Strategy in locations around
the main urban area of Nottingham
already provide for around 40ha of new
employment development. The exact
breakdown of uses has yet to be
determined.

The strategic allocations at the former
Cotgrave Colliery, at the former RAF
Newton and at land north of Bingham
provide for around a further 26.5ha of employment land. Core Strategy policy
allows for a mix of B1 (business), B2
(general industrial), and B8 (storage). 

Windfall sites also contribute towards
the supply of employment land.

Net addition of office (B1a) floorspace.

Net addition of research and
development (B1b), light industry (B1c), general industrial (B2) and warehouse land (B8).

Since the start of the plan period there
has been an overall net gain in the
amount of office (B1a) floorspace of
7,173m2


There has been a loss of -0.78 hectares of B1 ‘c’ (light industry), a gain of 1.63 hectares of B2 (general industrial) and a gain of 2.24 hectares of B8 (storage and distribution).

 

Policy 6: Role of Town and Local Centres

Policy 8: Housing Size, Mix and Choice

Housing Size, Mix and Choice - indicators
Indicator Commentary
Permissions and completions by
dwelling size and type.

Between 2011 and 2021, the percentage of all new dwellings built have comprised of:

  • 1 bed houses: 1.1%
  • 2 bed houses: 13.4%
  • 3 bed houses: 24.9%
  • 4+ bed houses: 40.7%
  • 1 bed flats: 7%
  • 2 bed flats: 11.8%
  • 3 bed flats: 0.7%
  • 4 bed flats: 0.3%

 

This is only monitored at the point of completion. It is not possible to monitor this
indicator on the granting of planning permission for the following reasons. Firstly, the
required level of detail is not always supplied for outline approval. Secondly,
permissions are frequently superseded or part superseded which would result in
double counting as it is not evident which permission will be implemented until
manual site surveys are carried out. This would result in substantial abortive work.

6. LDF Sustainability Appraisal (SA) Monitoring Indicators

Sustainability Appraisal Indicators to monitor Core Strategy policies

Under the SEA Directive, the significant environmental effects of the DPD must be monitored. It requires monitoring to identify unforeseen adverse effects arising from the plan to enable remedial action to be taken.

Significant effects indicators should be developed to ensure a robust assessment of policy implementation. The SA monitoring will cover significant social, economic and environmental effects.

Government guidance on the local plan monitoring proposes three types of indicators for inclusion in the Annual Monitoring Reports:

  • Contextual indicators which provide information on the wider social, environmental and economic situation;
  • Output indicators which are used to assess the performance of policies;
  • Significant effects indicators which are used to assess the significant social, environmental and economic effects of the policies (and should be derived from the SA findings).

Appendix 6 of the Core Strategy Sustainability Appraisal presents the monitoring arrangements proposed. Ongoing review of environmental targets and indicators will be undertaken as consequential DPDs and revisions to the Core Strategy are prepared.
