years time. A set of Spatial Objectives outlining the main policy

Spatial Portrait Spatial policy context of North East
Derbyshire:
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Have we identified the key spatial issues in Figure 3?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Spatial Portrait - Challenges Taking the Spatial Portrait and the views
of local people into account, the Council has identified a number of key challenges for the District
Do you agree with the list of challenges for the District?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
A Vision for the District Do you agree that the Local Plan should
cover the period up to 2031?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
District Wide Objectives Do you agree with the objectives identified
for the District and Subareas? Has anything important been missed?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
What else should the Key Diagram contain?

Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Constrained North Is the methodology appropriate?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Preferred Housing Target Is the proposed housing target
reasonable, given the alternatives and local issues / circumstances?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Recommended Preferred Housing Target by Sub-area & District Total Should windfalls be in addition to the
housing target, or should the housing target make provision for them?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Relationship between Preferred Housing Target & SNPP Is it reasonable to challenge historic
migration trends that underpin the Sub-National Population Projections, to take account of changes in land supply and pressure on the Green Belt?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Net Affordable Housing Need by Sub-Area Should the Council aim to secure 30%
affordable units in development schemes? Should the Local Plan include District wide affordable housing percentages and thresholds or should they be area specific?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Case for a Targeted Review of the Green Belt Is a review of the Green Belt justified under
these local circumstances? Would the ‘exception’ approach work in
practice? What would be an ‘acceptable proportion’ of
social housing?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Proposed Methodology for a Green Belt Review Is the methodology for a review of the
Green Belt appropriate? Is it right to take a two-staged
approach?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Strategic Green Belt Review Are the general areas of Green Belt
identified for assessment appropriate?

Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Settlement Hierarchy Do you agree with the Settlement
Hierarchy approach? Should the Settlement Hierarchy be
used to inform the pattern of growth in the District?
Where should the divisions between the ‘Order’ categories be drawn?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Employment Issues Should the Council seek to reduce out-
commuting and provide more jobs locally?
Where should new jobs be created?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Consultation Comments1. Should the Green Belt Review
show which of the areas under consideration is part of a Green Corridor?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Consultation Comments2. Can consideration of Green Belt
areas be undertaken without knowledge/ assessment of encroachment towards Killamarsh from adjacent authority areas (i.e. Chesterfield, Bolsover, South Yorkshire, Bassetlaw?)
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Consultation Comments3. The County Infrastructure Plan
makes no provision for road improvements in the Killamarsh area. How can further significant development be considered when the roads are already severely congested?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Consultation Comments4. How can large developments of
affordable homes help the chronic unemployment of the area. Surely the occupants of affordable homes will have jobs, or be looking for jobs, rather than providing employment opportunities within their own company?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Consultation Comments5. A recent Cabinet Meeting of
NEDDC shows that there is to be an exchange of land with a Sheffield Housing Trust. Where is this?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Consultation Comments6. It has been stated that only 100%
affordable houses will be sought on released Green Belt land, without any public money being provided. How will this be viable for the developer?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Consultation Comments7. Despite the decision to require a minimum of
30% affordable homes in large developments a recent one in North East Derbyshire was passed with only 17% affordable, because it was not financially viable for the developer. Do any of the reassurances actually mean anything? Once Green Belt land is made available the developers will build on this prime, saleable land first. Is this whole charade designed to get New Homes Bonus money for NEDDC without consideration of the effects on communities?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Consultation Comments8. The New Aldi supermarket in
Killamarsh will merely replace an old one, and the six accompanying units are replacing other shops that were already there. How is this expected to regenerate Killamarsh?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Consultation Comments9. The majority of the Green Belt
areas surrounding Killamarsh have footpaths or Rights of Way over them. Should this not be a material consideration when reviewing the value of Green Belt areas?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Consultation Comments10. The Housing Study document shows
that natural movement, without in-migration would require 62 dwellings per annum to be built within the Constrained North. Why, then, is our target 365 affordable homes and 50 market homes? Who are the other 353 homes intended for? Is Killamarsh to become a ‘sink’ estate for Sheffield, so that they can maintain their ‘Green City’ credentials?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Consultation Comments11. When entering Killamarsh a visitor
would be unaware of its proud mining heritage. Why is this historical heritage not considered when assessing what are now attractive Green Belt sites?
Killamarsh RAGE 9th August 2012
Consultation Comments12. Why is the presence of native
trees, the presence of protected species of flora and fauna, and the biodiversity of sites not included in the Green Belt site analysis?
