Introduction The Authority’s Monitoring Report (AMR) sets out the progress made on a number of topics that affect the Borough. These range from the number of houses built, the amount of employment land developed to the state of our natural and built environment and the progress made with Tameside’s Local Plan. This, the eighth Tameside AMR has been prepared to comply with Section 35 of The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, Section 33A of the Localism Act 2011 and Regulation 34 of The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012.

The Council is no longer required to submit its monitoring report to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government as outlined by Bob Neill MP on 30th March 2011. Although the Government has reduced the demands of top down monitoring upon Local Authorities, the 2004 and 2011 Acts make it clear that there is a duty upon Authorities to meet the requirements of the relevant UK and EU legislation. The Council sees these requirements as part of effectively planning, monitoring and reviewing its planning policy and providing supplementary information to inform the decision making process. The period addressed by this report covers two monitoring years from the 1st April 2010 to 31st March 2011 and 1st April 2011 to 31st March 2012. Where data demonstrates change that has occurred over the year, such as the amount of floorspace developed, the figures relate to that complete time period unless otherwise indicated. Where data relates to a snapshot during the year, such as the amount of employment land available, the figures relate to the situation at the end of March for that year unless otherwise indicated. The Government has outlined its intentions to revoke Regional Spatial Strategies (RSS) although a Strategic Environmental Assessment is required to complete the revocation. This has implications for the interim period before adoption of the Core Strategy where the Council will give material consideration to the RSS until such a time when it adopts new policies based upon more up to date evidence. The Council therefore intends to adopt an interim housing statement due to the impending revocation of the North West of England Plan RSS. Until such a statement is adopted it is the intention of the Council is to maintain the annual 750 dwellings per annum target set out in the RSS. There are similar impacts upon the provision of employment land. Policy W3 of the RSS required Greater Manchester to supply between an additional 536 and 917 hectares of land during the period 2005-2021. The Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA) commissioned the Greater Manchester Employment Land Position Statement by Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners in 2009. This sets out in its conclusions that Tameside may need to provide somewhere between 94 and 130 hectares of employment land over the period 2007 to 2026. Tameside will determine the exact level of provision given the current localism policy context through the Core Strategy process. The report provides data on a number of indicators. As it is now largely for the Council to determine the indicators it monitors, scope exists to review the indicators that have traditionally been used. That said, consistency of indicators does allow for a degree of analysis to occur from the current monitoring and that of subsequent years. The Council has chosen to divide its indicators in each thematic area into:

Core output indicators were the standard indicators defined nationally by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and includes the housing trajectory. Where data continues to be collected the indicator has been retained.

Local output indicators complement the core output indicators to monitor the implementation of local policies and documents. These have been derived from the indicators set out in the Tameside Unitary

Development Plan (UDP) adopted November 2004.

Significant effects indicators provide additional data to enable a robust assessment of policy implementation with the core and local output indicators. They are linked to the Sustainability Appraisal objectives and enable comparisons to be made with the predicted and actual effects observed during the implementation of policies. Significant effects indicators have been updated to reflect those within the Core Strategy Sustainability Appraisal (2012).

Contextual indicators present background information on the environment in which policies are operating such as market trends and conditions.

This AMR also contains the detailed progress made on the documents contained in the Council’s Local Development Scheme (LDS). It lists all of the titles of the documents and outlines the full production timetable for comparison, to comply with The Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2012 part 8. It shows progress during the monitoring year with information regarding:

The timetable and stage that a document has reached in preparation; If the document’s preparation is behind the time table and reasons for any delay; and An indication of the steps to be taken for the continued preparation or not of the document.

The LDS shows which documents have been adopted with dates, except for the UDP, which for the sake of completeness was adopted on 17th November 2004. This report will also contain details of any policies which the authority is not implementing, the reasons why and the steps if any, required to secure implementation of the policy. In addition it details the steps it is taking to comply with the Duty to Cooperate requirements of the aforementioned regulations. On the 18th September 2007, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government in exercise of the power conferred by paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 8 to the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 directed that for the purposes of all of the policies contained in the adopted Tameside UDP, paragraph 1(2)(a) of Schedule 8 to the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 does not apply. This means that all saved policies in the adopted UDP continue to be implemented until new policies replace them. At present, the Council is using all saved policy as appropriate in the consideration of proposals.

Employment, the Local Economy and Skills

Recent Activity and Take-Up

For the purposes of this AMR, employment uses are classed according to Policy E3 of the adopted Tameside UDP as business (B1), general industrial (B2), storage and distribution (B8) plus sui generis commercial uses which have similar characteristics to industry or storage. During the 2011/12 year, a number of employment generating development schemes were completed, taking-up 1.35 ha of land

for employment purposes and creating 8,317 m2 of new employment floorspace. Significant completions include:

Land North of Park Road, New Industrial Units, Dukinfield Extension to Acorn Works, Mossley

The proportion of employment floorspace completed on previously-developed land was 94.7%. The only development on greenfield land was Broadcarr Lane, Mossley (which took up approximately 0.2 ha). Since the end of the monitoring period employment development activity has continued. There was around 1,353 sq m of employment generating floorspace under construction on 31st March 2012 on sites which totalled 0.8 ha of the overall supply. During the monitoring year, permission was granted for employment schemes totalling over 14,593m2 of floorspace on around 3.5 ha of land and further permissions have been granted following the monitoring period. This is a significant decline since the previous monitoring year and is a potent indicator of the impact the recession has caused on the development of employment floorspace. Noteworthy outstanding permissions include many schemes from the previous list:

St. Petersfield Office Buildings K1 and K2, Stamford Street West, Ashton-under-Lyne; Office and light industrial development, Fairfield Clough South, Kings Road, Audenshaw; Three storey office block, Turner Street Industrial Estate, Denton; Large warehouse extension, Turner Bianca site, Globe Lane, Dukinfield; Redevelopment at Newton Mill, Ashton Road, Hyde Redevelopment at Wharf Mill Site, Dukinfield Road, Hyde Office development adjacent to new Findel's office, Ashton Road, Hyde; and 53 modular industrial units at Raglan Street, Hyde.

In addition the outline permissions for large scale employment development at Plot 3000 on Ashton Moss and for various developments at St. Petersfield in Ashton still remain valid. The site at Ashton Moss is suitable for a variety of industrial uses and is the largest single employment site in the Tameside supply. The site will be made more accessible as a development opportunity when the Metrolink extension to Ashton-under-Lyne opens in 2013/14. Over the next few years some of these sites will come under pressure for release to non-employment uses, primarily residential development. In some cases this may be acceptable but the Council aims to protect its future employment land supply through UDP Policy E3 and the additional Employment Land Supplementary Planning Document. Land Supply The total supply of land available for development for employment purposes in Tameside on the 31st March 2012 was 80.72ha. This is a small increase on last year's supply (80.46 ha). This supply figure consists of both vacant and redevelopment sites with planning permission and sites previously allocated. Sites are removed from the supply when development is completed or where evidence comes forward to confirm that the site is unsuitable as part of the supply – such as the continued long-term operational use of site. The increase in available land supply can be explained by the addition of new sites following the annual assessment of the employment land availability schedule. The inclusion of a site in the available supply does not indicate any intentions of the owner(s) to offer the site for development so some of the supply will consist of sites not on the open market and sites intended for development by owners or occupiers for their own use. In fact, of the total supply, 40.52 ha was classed as 'immediately available'. The sites in the immediately available supply are listed on the MIDAS website and for sale on the open market. This is a significant increase from the 27.7 ha recorded in 2009/10 (no data is available for 2010/11). This significant increase can be explained by a thorough reappraisal of the sites in the supply that takes into account updates to the marketing information available.



A breakdown of the different types of employment land in the available supply is shown in the table below.

Table 2.1 Available Employment Land By Type An analysis of the sites in the supply reveals that just over a third of the total supply has the potential to be genuinely available in a reasonable timeframe, is of a serviceable quality and free from excessive constraints. 2011/12 has been another difficult year for employment development in Tameside. However, there have been some significant completions: at Park Road, Dukinfield and Acorn Works in Mossley. However, these completions account for over 50% of all industrial development in the Borough over the reporting period. On 31st March 2012, approximately 0.8 ha of the previous years supply was under construction and permission was granted for schemes on 3.5 ha of land that now form part of the employment land supply. The measured employment land supply has reduced steadily since 1995/96, when it stood at 190 hectares, to the level it is at today, 80.72 hectares. The rise in supply over the past two years shows evidence of the continuing difficulty faced in the office and industrial markets. The decline in supply indicated growing interest in Tameside's development sites, borne out by the number of completions since the mid 1990s continuing through to the mid 2000s. Based on the historic trend it would have been logical to predict that take-up rates would increase but in the current economic climate this would now seem to be very uncertain given the performance since 2009. However, the overall trend of a declining supply is an indicator that under normal economic circumstances Tameside is an attractive location for developers. With the continued impact of the economic downturn there is the possibility that the life of the current supply could be prolonged. The employment land supply could even significantly increase over the period because of rationalisation and closures within local industries. Additionally the impact of business rates on vacant premises has become widespread with the clearance of many sites across the Borough. The other side of this is that the poor economic climate and low or negative return on employment development has led to increased pressure for non-employment development on these sites. This is a problem where significant abnormal costs are identified, such as remediation of significant contamination. It is considered that this level of supply is not adequate in terms or quality and availability. This position is backed up by the findings of the emerging Employment Land Review and the Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners study (2009) which concluded that Tameside would require an employment land supply of between 94 and 130 hectares for the period 2007 - 2026. Consequently it will become a critical issue for the evidence base of the core strategy to investigate and to determine the amount of employment land supply that will ensure the long-term development of Tameside's economy. The Employment Land SPD gives guidance on the development of employment land and promotes the recycling of existing employment sites for new employment generating development.

Character of the Local Economy

The local economy in Tameside remains in a state of change, with the manufacturing industry of the Borough still contracting as part of a national trend and the proportion of manufacturing jobs in the Borough decreasing every year since 1999. However, the borough still retains a significant proportion of its employment in manufacturing (18.5%) which is greater than any other in Greater Manchester. This means that there remains a heavy reliance on industries that are likely to decline further in the coming years. Many of the older large manufacturing firms have ceased operations in Tameside in recent years and the economy is now characterised by small and medium-sized businesses. Data from the Annual Business Inquiry (ABI) (2008) suggests that 83.9% of businesses in the Borough employ 10 people or less. This data is now unavailable due to a change from the ABI to the Business Register and Employment Survey from 2008 onwards. When compared to the regional (0.74) and national average (0.77) the jobs density (ratio of total jobs to working-age population 16-64) in the Borough is low (0.53). This is a significant factor and indicates that people have to travel outside of the Borough to find work. This ratio has steadily fallen since a peak of 0.62 in 2004. Tameside only has around 5.7% (67,424) of all employment (excluding the self-employed) in Greater Manchester (GM 1,174,821), despite having 8% of the working age population (2011 mid-year population estimates). The rate of unemployment in Tameside based on the monthly claimant count showed an increase since April 2010. There were 6,806 claimants (4.8%) in April 2010 rising to 7,168 in September 2012 (5.1%). At September 2012 the claimant count for Tameside was above the North West average (4.4%) and the average for the UK (3.8%). See Figure 2.1, Unemployment rate (resident based Job Seekers Allowance claimant count) April 2010 to Sept 2012, below.

i The General category includes all development within the B use classes where the sites have not been individually identified as being of one specific B use.

Figure 2.1 Unemployment rate (resident based Job Seekers Allowance claimant count) Apr 2010 to Sept 2012 Tameside has a significantly lower than average number of people employed in occupations in the socio-economic classification (SOC) 2000 major groups 1-3, with a higher than average number of people employed in SOC 2000 major groups 4-5 and 8-9 (see table 2.2 below). The proportion of people in Tameside employed in major group 1-3 has decreased by over 3% for 2011/12 to 32.8% when compared to 2010/11 (33.7%). This is getting close to the lowest level (31.9%) seen since AMR reporting started in 2004/05. The proportion employed in major group 4-5 has slightly decreased between 2010/11 and 2011/12. The proportion employed in major group 6-7 has significantly increased whilst in group 8-9 there has been a marked decline. VAT registration data is no longer recorded as an indicator as a means of determining the health of the economy. The Office of National Statistics now publishes a set of data for business demography as a means of giving a more detailed picture of business health and entrepreneurship. This data is now displayed as Sustainability Appraisal Significant Effects Indicator SE 20.1 in table 2.4. Business demographics have been calculated retrospectively back to 2004/5. During the period 2004/5 to 2011/12 the total business count in Tameside has increased by 125, from 5,860 to 5,985. However, during this period the figure peaked in 2007/8 at 6,280 so this shows a decline in total business numbers since the peak of 295. It should also be noted that in the last two reporting years that the difference between births and deaths was negative, i.e. more deaths than births.

Housing and Population

Housing Trajectory

The graph below, Figure 3.1, indicates Tameside’s expected housing performance. It shows past housing completion rates, then projected completions for 15 years from 2012. It is intended to show how the ‘plan, monitor and manage’ approach to housing delivery will work in Tameside.

The graph below estimates the provision of housing by adding together the allocated housing sites, sites with planning permission, and the remainder of sites under construction. Then an estimate of the number of sites likely to come forward from the Tameside’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (April 2011) is added. For each year, as the trajectory progresses, the accumulating over, or under provision is divided by the number of years left in the timescale. This is the time left in the trajectory to deal with accumulating over or under-provision. The predicted level of provision by 2021 meets the RSS target although a slight decline in provision is expected in the residual period to 2027. The area based regeneration of Hattersley resulted in a period of relatively high level of dwelling losses due to either demolitions or conversions causing a significant gap between the actual rates of house building and net annual completions, peaking at 375 losses in 2007-2008. This figure has now reduced significantly to 35 dwellings during 2010/11 and 5 dwellings during 2011/12. As the Council is unlikely to declare another major period of ambitious housing regeneration in the immediate future an estimate number of 50 dwellings will be used to calculate the housing trajectory figures. This housing trajectory updates those published in previous AMR’s, and will continue to be updated annually. As required, the current trajectory shows:

Net Additional dwellings for the five year period 1st April 2007 to 31st March 2012; Housing delivery for the reporting year 2011 - 2012; and The level of additional housing expected to come forward over the 15 year period up to 2027, starting with the current monitoring year. Gross completion figures are shown and an allowance made for clearance and

other losses. Figure 3.1 Tameside Housing Trajectory based on the RSS target of 750 net additional dwellings per annum

Population

Tameside is just over 103 km² in size and has a resident population of 219,700 giving an average population density of 2,133 persons per km². Given that the borough has distinct urban and rural areas, there is a wide variation in population density. The proportion of residents from different ethnic minorities varies greatly within the borough. In Ashton St Peters ward, the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) population accounted for 24% of people in the 2001 (Census), whilst in the Longdendale ward, this figure was only 1.5%. There is a large Bangladeshi community in Hyde, and sizeable Indian and Pakistani communities in Ashton.

Deprivation According to the 2010 Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), Figure 3.2, Tameside is the 42nd most deprived local authority area (out of 326). This is a decline from the 2007 IMD where Tameside was ranked as the 56th most deprived local authority area. It is important to note that the total number of authority areas has also declined over the same period from 354 to 326. There are great differences in levels of deprivation throughout the borough. Although there are a number of Super Output Areas (SOAs) that appear in the least deprived categories, there are also many that are within the 10% most deprived in the country.

Social and Affordable Housing

At present, social and affordable housing in Tameside can be expected to be delivered by Registered Providers (RP’s) and not the private sector. UDP policy H4 allows the Council to seek an element of subsidised or low cost market housing to be provided in conjunction with development proposals. Although this policy is not presently implemented by the Council, the situation is being kept under review. A number of housing studies including the forthcoming update of the Strategic Housing Market Assessment and Interim Housing Position Statement commissioned by the Council as part of the emerging Local Plan evidence base, may provide justification for the Council to commence implementation of this policy.

Transport Transport

Three major initiative schemes: Metrolink to Droylsden and Ashton-under-Lyne; the Ashton Northern Bypass Stage 2; and the Greater Manchester Retaining Wall Major Maintenance scheme, a major initiative between Tameside, Oldham, Rochdale and Stockport MBC’s to renew a number of major structures across the local area have been completed or are cumulatively under construction. Following the March 2009 withdrawal by the Highways Agency from the adjourned Mottram-Tintwistle Bypass Public Inquiry, Tameside proposed the development of an integrated transport strategy for

Longdendale. This area suffers from severe congestion problems caused by traffic travelling between the M67, Glossop and Sheffield. An integrated transport strategy would include a broad package of measures, such as improved public transport provision, walking and cycling, though the strategy is likely to rely on the construction of a local bypass to relieve the congestion before the other measures could flourish and reach their full potential. No firm cost estimates for the delivering LITS are available, as Tameside MBC has yet to progress the scheme to the detailed development stage. However, as part of the original funding approved by AGMA, the scheme had a £100m budget. £90m of this stemmed from the Department for Transport’s Regional Funding Allocation and £10m from the Greater Manchester Transport Fund. Parking Standards and Public Transport Journey Times

The monitoring of the amount of residential development, in table 4.4, within 30 minutes public transport time of a variety of facilities and services has been conducted in accordance with the monitoring guidelines utilising accession software to calculate journey times using public transport.

Local Services and Retail Retail completions within Tameside over the monitoring year have been relatively small in scale and in number. Many schemes have consisted of small extensions or alterations to existing retailing locations. The impact of the recession is clear with people having a more constrained disposable income and the high street facing competition from other sources such as the internet, supermarkets and out of town retail parks. The trend of retail completions has been toward providing smaller scale more localised provision. Many of Tameside’s centres continue to face challenges in retaining existing key retailers, minimising vacancies and recycling floorspace effectively. Although challenges do exist, vacant floorspace in Ashton, Hyde and Denton has been recycled relatively well when compared to Droylsden, Stalybridge and Mossley. In many instances vacant floorspace has been utilised by discount retailers who have

sought to meet the needs of a more astute and savvy shopper seeking better value for money. However the reluctance of national multiples to expand operations reflects nervousness amongst investors, developers and retailers to expand operations and reduced levels confidence in the future of the high street. Beyond the monitoring year, Hyde is receiving investment in its outdoor market which will see new stalls, improvements to the public realm and a shared public events space. In addition metrolink work around Droylsden is drawing to a close with improvements to the surrounding public realm. The Portas review, commissioned by the Government, into town centre retailing and the state of our high streets has galvanised opinions about the importance of our town centres and as a result many towns within Tameside either have are in the process of establishing Town Teams. In 2010 White Young Green (WYG) updated the Councils retail study, the key message from which is about creating an enhanced and improved retail provision primarily within Ashton to re-affirming its role as the Boroughs primary shopping destination, a message which is being taken forward through the emerging Local Plan. The key findings from the WYG retail study are contained within the data table below. The full WYG Study, including appendices, can be downloaded at http://www.tameside.gov.uk/planning/ldf/retailstudy2010

Minerals and Waste

There are two waste disposal authorities in Greater Manchester; they are Wigan MBC which manages waste produced within Wigan and Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority which manages the waste of the other 9 authorities in Greater Manchester. The Greater Manchester Municipal Waste Management Strategy, adopted in 2004 and updated in 2007 covers 9 of the 10 districts and sets out the framework for managing waste to 2030. To assist in delivering the strategy, the GM Waste Delivery Authority have signed a 25 year contract for waste and recycling with Viridor Laing. The contract includes a construction programme of waste recycling facilities over the next 5 years, of which the household recycling centre at Bayley Street, Stalybridge and Ash Road, Droylsden have been

constructed and are operational. The ten unitary authorities in Greater Manchester agreed to produce a Joint Waste Development Plan Document under the provisions of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The Minerals and Waste Planning Unit are responsible for all aspects of plan production and consultation with assistance from the Greater Manchester authorities. The Waste Plan was submitted to the Secretary of State on 28th February 2011 for examination. Following this the Planning Inspectorate confirmed that the plan was sound and met all necessary legislative requirements. On the 21st February 2012 the Council approved the adoption of the plan which will be adopted by all Councils on the 1st April 2012. Outside of the monitoring year progress continues to be made on the Joint Minerals Development Plan Document. As above the Minerals and Waste Planning Unit are responsible for all aspects of plan production. The Minerals Plan Public Examination Hearing was held on 21st and 22nd February 2012. Due to modifications to the document it was re-consulted upon later in the year and reconvened hearing dates are set for November 2012.

Local Development Scheme Monitoring

Local Development Scheme Monitoring

This section looks at Local Plan progress for the period January 2011 to March 2012. The current Local Development Scheme was updated and adopted by the Council May 2011. This version superseded Version 3 of the Local Development Scheme which was adopted in January 2010. The following section covers the main issues and changes required in the revised Local Development Scheme.

Development Plan Documents

Progress has been made on developing a comprehensive evidence base for the Local Plan and particularly the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies DPD (the ‘Core Strategy’). This focus has allowed the Council to progress through to currently working on the Preferred Options for the Core Strategy. The following is an account of the work that has been undertaken so far:

The updated Sustainability Appraisal has been produced by environmental consultants AMEC. The Sustainability Appraisal of the Core Strategy Issues and Options document was published for consultation between February and April 2012;

The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment was completed, approved and published April 2011. A call for sites will be carried out in 2012 and be used to inform an update of the SHLAA. The Affordable Housing Economic Viability Assessment was finalised in January 2010 following on from the Strategic Housing Market Assessment in 2008. Both of these pieces of work will be updated through the Council’s Interim Housing Position Statement which will be completed in 2012;

The Level 2 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment from Scott Wilson has been completed; The Recreation Needs and Demand Study being prepared by Knight, Kavannah and Page was completed August 2010; The Retail Study update by White Young Green was completed in May 2010; The Infrastructure Study has been received in draft and will be published in 2012. A follow on Tameside Infrastructure Delivery Plan will be produced as evidence to support the Local Plan and the Community

Infrastructure Levy; and The Conservation Area Appraisals are being progressed, eight of which have gone through public consultation.

The Council now intends to produce the following Development Plan Documents within the timeframe of the Local Development Scheme which. This new project plan reflects the new milestones contained in The Town and Country Planning (Local Development) Regulations 2012 amendments that now accompany the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

The Core Strategy and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document

There should be few obstacles to the production of this document now a comprehensive evidence base is largely assembled. Milestones for the production of this document have been missed which has necessitated the drafting of a replacement Local Development Scheme. It is expected that the Core Strategy will now be adopted in early 2014 and not May 2013 as currently stated in the May 2011 LDS. The document will contain the key spatial policies and proposals of the Local Plan for Tameside. It will comprise of a spatial vision and strategic objectives for the Borough, a locally distinctive place shaping strategy, a project plan for achieving the strategy and a monitoring framework. Underlying development management policies will also be developed. The timescales are outlined in the project plan at Table 8.1 which summarises the progress with each element of the Local Plan.

Site Allocations Development Plan Document

This Development Plan Document will closely follow the Core Strategy with the intention of identifying sites for certain types of development. This Development Plan Document will establish the principles of proposed uses on the allocated sites and is programmed to follow on 18 months after the production stages of the Core Strategy which means the Development Plan Document could have passed through all production stages and adoption could be achieved 2016. This is a revision to the date in the May 2011 LDS because of delays in producing the Core Strategy.

The Proposals Map Development Plan Document

When the Council adopts its first Development Plan Document it will update the adopted Proposals Map (Tameside Unitary Development Plan, November 2004) to cover amendments and additions arising from adopted Development Plan Documents. The Proposals Map covers the whole borough and is a geographical representation of all policy designations and proposals. This is updated and re-adopted at the same time as each new Development Plan Document is adopted.

Greater Manchester Joint Waste Development Plan Document

The Greater Manchester Joint Waste Development Plan Document will be adopted by the ten Greater Manchester authorities 1 April 2012. The document will replace a number of the 2004 UDP policies, the remaining UDP policies relevant to waste will be replaced by the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies DPD.



Greater Manchester Joint Minerals Development Plan Document

The Joint Minerals Development Plan Document (JMDPD) will become Greater Manchester’s jointly preferred approach to minerals planning. The JMDPD aims to identify mineral resources to enable the development of a framework to secure the winning of the minerals required to meet the regional performance expected of us and to meet the needs of strategic planning in Greater Manchester. At this stage the Examination in Public into the JMDPD has been adjourned to allow for additional discussion and consultation into a number of proposed main modifications. The consultation is likely to happen between August and September 2012. It is expected that the completion through to adoption of the JMDPD will take place within the timeframe set out in the proposed revised LDS. If this is not the case then amendments will be made, as required, to the LDS in a further revision. In order to provide planning policy coverage during the plan preparation period, relevant policies in the Unitary Development Plan have been saved until replaced.

Supplementary Planning Documents

These documents provide detailed advice on specific issues or individual sites to clarify development plan policies. They have not introduced new policy; rather they clarify how policy will be applied or offer advice on best practice. However, because they are duly made, where relevant, they must be taken into account in the determination of planning applications. They are subject to participation and are formally adopted documents (Reg 19 of the 2004 Regulations) but they are not subject to examination in public because they do not introduce substantive policy. The following Supplementary Planning Documents have been duly made and adopted. These are:

Sustainable Design & Construction Guide – adopted October 2005 Brookbottom Development Brief, Mossley – adopted July 2005 A Guide to Developer Contributions – adopted November 2006 Trees, Landscaping and Development – adopted March 2007 Employment Land Supplementary Planning Document – adopted January 2009 Ashton Town Centre Strategy Supplementary Planning Document – adopted January 2010 Residential Design Supplementary Planning Document – adopted March 2010

See the Strategic Planning website at www.tameside.gov.uk/strategicplanning The following Supplementary Planning Documents are proposed. These are:

Stalybridge Town Centre Strategy Hyde Town Centre Strategy Historic Environment

Statement of Community Involvement

This sets out how the Council will engage stakeholders and the community in the preparation of planning documents. The current adopted document (July 2006) is still operative. It sets out how consultation on the production of new planning policies and planning applications will be undertaken. See www.tameside.gov.uk/strategicplanning.

Unitary Development Plan - Saved Policies

The Tameside Replacement Unitary Development Plan (UDP) was adopted by the Council in November 2004 and was up to date and in conformity with the Regional Spatial Strategy (Regional Planning Guidance for the North West) at that time. Unitary Development Plan Part 1 Policies and generic development control policies in Part 2 will be replaced by the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies DPD by 2014 which, in turn, will be in conformity with regional and national policy. The Unitary Development Plan policies, plans and guidance material were produced under the former development plans system enabled by the 1991 Planning Act. These have been saved for the moment until such time as they are in part or wholly replaced by the new documents of the Local Plan. The Council’s web site contains the details of the direction which was issued by the Secretary of State on 18th September 2007 which enabled this. See www.tameside.gov.uk/udp/direction The saved policies are outlined in the Local Development Scheme (May 2011). Some site specific policies will remain until the adoption of the Site Allocation DPD where appropriate to do so. In particular, housing and employment sites will necessitate site allocations and site specific policies to guide development. Appendix D details each saved policy and indentifies how the Council intends to replace them.



Regional Planning Context

The second Regional Spatial Strategy for North West England was published by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government in 2008. It was prepared by the North West Regional Assembly, as the Regional Planning Body, and was subject to consultation between March and June 2006. The report of the Panel who conducted the Examination in Public between October 2006 and February 2007 preceded a final Regional Spatial Strategy which was adopted in September 2008. This document replaced all previous versions of the strategy. This document was added to by a partial review which dealt with Gypsies and Travellers pitch provision and regional car parking standards and a new Single Regional Strategy for the Northwest (RS2010) was also under preparation. It is the Government's policy to revoke existing regional strategies outside London. At this stage the process to revoke the regional strategies is ongoing. The Department for Communities and Local Government is currently updating the environmental reports and undertaking additional consultation. The updated environmental reports will be published and include consideration of all responses submitted during the first period October 2011 to January 2012. The Government is clear that the proposed revocation of the regional strategies may be regarded as a material consideration by decision makers when determining planning applications and appeals. Local Plan documents must be in general conformity with the regional strategy until revocation. The government position is that local authorities can bring forward proposals with a local interpretation as long as they are based on sound evidence and justified by local circumstance. A final date for revocation of the North West of England Plan has yet to come forward.

Review of the Local Plan

The Local Plan will need to be continually reviewed and revised. The Authority Monitoring Report will be the primary mechanism for identifying the need for revised or additional local development documents, although ad-hoc monitoring may also indicate the need for changes. Revisions will have to be programmed in the Local Development Scheme and agreed through the Council before it can be re-published.

Duty to Co-operate

The Localism Act was given Royal Assent on the 15 November 2011, the five key measures from which are aimed at transferring power from central government into the hands of local government and communities. One such measure is in relation to producing local plans. When producing Local Plans there are now several additional elements which change the way things are now done. The Governments stated aim in introducing these changes is “to make the planning system clearer, more democratic, and more effective”. One such element is the Duty to Cooperate. The Duty to Cooperate, introduced under the Localism Act, is to ensure that neighbouring authorities work together on planning issues that necessitate a collaborative approach. In effect the Duty replaces regional planning, which the Government intends to revoke, with a duty to have regard. The onus is therefore placed upon each authority to where they see fit implement a more localised

form of regional planning. In Greater Manchester this approach has already been followed since 1986 through the joint work of the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities. This has seen a Joint Waste Plan produced for Greater Manchester and Joint Minerals Plan nearing completion. Tameside therefore readily engages with neighbouring authorities and retains documentary evidence compiled for the purposes of providing evidence of this. The Duty to Cooperate requirements are outlined within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) paragraph 178. Matters considered to be strategic priorities which require strategic policies and cooperation are:

The homes and jobs needed in the area;

The provision of retail leisure and other commercial development;

The provision of infrastructure for transport, telecommunications, waste management, water supply, wastewater, flood risk and costal change management, and the provision of minerals and energy (including heat);

The provision of heat, security, community and cultural infrastructure and other local facilities; and

Climate change mitigation and adaptation, conservation and enhancement of the natural and historic environment, including landscape.

Bodies to which the above applies as prescribed within the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 and with which Tameside engage in addition to neighbouring authorities are the:

Environment Agency

Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England (English Heritage)

Natural England

Civil Aviation Authority

Homes and Communities Agency

Primary Care Trust

Office of Rail Regulation

Transport For Greater Manchester

Highways Authority

Marine Management Organisation

In addition regard is also had to the aims and objectives of the Local Enterprise Partnership and the Local Nature Partnership.
