| Reg18_5 | thecoalauthority-planning | Do you have any other comments on the draft Local Plan proposals? | COAL AUTHORITY NO COMMENTS Thank you for your email below regarding the Portsmouth City Council Local Plan Public Consultation. The Coal Authority is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy. As a statutory consultee, the Coal Authority has a duty to respond to planning applications and development plans in order to protect the public and the environment in mining areas. As you are aware, Portsmouth City Council lies outside the defined coalfield and therefore the Coal Authority has no specific comments to make on your Local Plans / SPDs etc. In the spirit of ensuring efficiency of resources and proportionality, it will not be necessary for the Council to provide the Coal Authority with any future drafts or updates to the emerging Plans. This letter can be used as evidence for the legal and procedural consultation requirements at examination, if necessary. | |
| Reg18_18 | martin | Do you have any other comments on the draft Local Plan proposals? | GENERIC DEVELOPMENT COMMENTS I am very very concerned about the impact of this development on the environment. The cleaner air initiative is not ambitious enough and you are not prioritising the environment enough in this development. The climate emergency is here. Please print front and centre your plans. More energy efficience for homes. | |
| Reg18_19 | andy.denton | Do you have any other comments on the draft Local Plan proposals? | MINERALS AND WASTE Hampshire County Council, as a fellow Mineral and Waste Planning Authority under the adopted Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan (2013) (HMWP), welcome the inclusion of Minerals and Waste within the Draft Local Plan (Section 4.5), which specifically references the HWMP, and Hampshire County Council offers it’s support in future minerals and waste policy development in the Portsmouth Area. With specific reference to Section 4.5 of the Draft Local Plan, it is noted that a safeguarded waste site is missing from Figure 19. This site is Tipner Waste Transfer Station, operated by T. J. Waste & Recycling Limited. The presence of this site was flagged to the City Council within an EIA Scoping Report consultation response for the Tipner Regeneration Project, dated 9th February 2021 and it’s location is included in the Safeguarded Sites GIS Shapefile update which was sent to the City Council on 12th October 2021. This site is safeguarded under Policy 26 (Safeguarding – waste infrastructure) of the HMWP, and as such is of particular importance with regard to the housing allocation BL1 – Tipner. Under allocation BL1, should the Tipner Waste Transfer Station be proposed to be removed and redeveloped, contact should be made with the operator and in line with the requirements of Policy 26 replacement equivalent capacity should be provided elsewhere as needed. Hampshire County Council is available to facilitate discussion with the operator if required. | |
| Reg18_23 | consultations.mmo | Do you have any other comments on the draft Local Plan proposals? | Reference to Marine Planning Reference to marine planning and the South Marine Plan could be made within the Sustainability Appraisal particularly as the Strategic Objectives link to Section 8 – Coastal Zone of the Draft Local Plan, and in regard to SA-4 of the framework. Reference to the South Marine Plan and its policies could be made within the Habitats Regulations Assessment, for example in relation to Water Quality and Marine Protected Areas. As previously stated, these are recommendations and we suggest that your own interpretation of the South Marine Plans is completed. Please consult the following references for further information and full details of all the policies: South Inshore and South Offshore Marine Plan and Explore Marine Plans. | |
| Reg18_26 | janathome | Do you have any other comments on the draft Local Plan proposals? | we are surprised the Draft Plan fails to articulate what our tonnage of carbon emissions currently are; how the proposals in this Plan can/could be quantified; and hence what they will be in the event the Policies are realised/complied with. Climate change is the greatest challenge facing our society and we are spending £millions on new Sea-Defences. Local development plans should be able to demonstrate how policy contributes to the Climate Change Act targets. To do so must require an understanding of both the baseline carbon dioxide emissions and then the actions needed to reduce emissions over time. Therefore there needs to be Annual Monitoring Reports containing assessments of carbon performance against the carbon budget regime set out in the Climate Change Act. The Section 19 duty within the 2008 Act is much stronger in decision-making than the status of the NPPF, which is guidance, not statute. The Monitoring and Implementation S1.4 is where we would expect to see evidence of Section 19 Compliance. However, we cannot see where the Carbon Emissions are accounted for and urgently recommend they be so. | |

| Reg18_33 | amber.trueman | Do you have any other comments on the draft Local Plan proposals? | With regards to the rest of the plan, SCC supports all of the overarching themes included within the new Portsmouth Local Plan and would like to reaffirm SCC’s willingness to engage with Portsmouth in the future. | |
| Reg18_34 | neil.massie | Do you have any other comments on the draft Local Plan proposals? | Portsmouth Local Plan Transport Assessment The Transport Assessment (October 2020) considers the transport impacts of local plan allocations within PCC. Hampshire County Council needs to fully understand the impacts of the Tipner, Cosham and Lakeside North Harbour strategic sites on the Hampshire County Council managed highway network, especially along the A27 through the Fareham Borough Council area. The A27 is a main arterial route running from Fareham into Portsmouth and is a key strategic corridor for East - West movements. The development of the Tipner strategic with an access via the A27 Southampton Road/Portway signalised junction must maintain the primary function of the A27 for strategic connectivity. To fully understand the potential implications that any increased highway congestion could have on the Hampshire County Council managed highway network there needs to be site specific Transport Assessments produced at the planning application stage for the Tipner, Cosham and Lakeside North Harbour strategic sites. Portsmouth Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) The transport section of the IDP (July 2021) sets out the proposed highway mitigation required to meet the planned growth set out in the draft local plan. Hampshire County Council supports the IDP transport proposals. However, the County Council will require evidence that the proposed Horsea public transport bridge is deliverable within the plan period. There should be early liaison with Hampshire County Council on any proposed infrastructure improvements which are likely to have an impact on the Hampshire County Council managed highway network. This includes pedestrian and cycle proposals to ensure a joined-up approach with the Hampshire Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans. Hampshire County Council will continue to work with PCC to develop the cross boundary SEHRT transport proposals. Hampshire County Council will require more information on the proposed transport infrastructure requirements for the strategic sites and how they will provide improved public transport and walking and cycling routes. The County Council consider that there is an opportunity to include a proposal for a Portsdown Hill Road cycle route. This will improve cycling and walking opportunities and promote sustainable access for the employees of DSTL, QinetiQ and the other major employment sites along Portsdown Hill Road. The cycle route will improve the cycle linkages between Fareham, Portsmouth and Havant and contribute to the sustainable accessibility of the visitor attractions on Portsdown Hill. Minerals and Waste Hampshire County Council welcome the inclusion of Minerals and Waste within the Draft Local Plan (Section 4.5), which specifically references the HWMP, and offers its support in future minerals and waste policy development for the Portsmouth City Council area. With specific reference to Section 4.5 of the Draft Local Plan, it is noted that a safeguarded waste site is missing from Figure 19. This site is Tipner Waste Transfer Station, operated by T. J. Waste & Recycling Limited. The presence of this site was flagged to the City Council within an EIA Scoping Report consultation response for the Tipner Regeneration Project, dated 9 February 2021, and its location is included in the Safeguarded Sites GIS Shapefile update which was sent to the City Council on 12 October 2021.

Under allocation BL1, should the Tipner Waste Transfer Station be considered for removal and redeveloped, contact should be made with the operator and in line with the requirements of Policy 26 (Safeguarding – waste infrastructure) replacement equivalent capacity should be provided elsewhere as needed. Hampshire County Council is available to facilitate discussion with the operator if the removal of the waste transfer site option is required as part of a future site allocation. | |
| Reg18_35 | sam.pullar | Do you have any other comments on the draft Local Plan proposals? | Homes England welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Regulation 18 consultation for Portsmouth’s new plan. Homes England supports the growth ambitions of the Plan and the retained allocation of St James’ Hospital as a development site. As set out within this representation, in order for the draft Plan to be found sound at Examination, the following changes should be made: ▪ Policy S5 (St James’ and Langstone Campus) should be amended to bring forward the site as a residential led mixed-use development, in accordance with evidenced need. ▪ Policy H1 (Housing Need and Supply) generally support this policy but suggest it goes further in encouraging the optimisation of allocated brownfield sites. ▪ Policy H2 (Housing Types, Mix and Affordability) should be amended to allow for greater flexibility and put forward an affordable housing policy which is evidenced and based on infrastructure needs, to ensure the policy is deliverable. ▪ Policy H5 (Residential Density) should be modified to enable greater flexibility and density to be assessed on a case by basis. ▪ Community and infrastructure Policies C3 (Transport) and C4 (Infrastructure and Community Benefits), require either clarification or greater flexibility to enable development to come forward. ▪ Both policies G1 (Biodiversity) and G2 (Green infrastructure) require amendments, so as to reflect national policy guidance and legislation. ▪ Policy G3 (Water Quality Nutrient Neutrality) ▪ Policy D4 (Low Carbon and Carbon Neutral Development) requires clarification on the strategic location of heat networks and the proposed carbon offset levy. We trust our representations will be taken into account in preparing the next version of the Local Plan. Our client is keen to engage with Portsmouth City Council and wishes to continue to be involved in further consultations on the Local Plan process moving forward. | |
| Reg18_41 | gwootton | Do you have any other comments on the draft Local Plan proposals? | Working Together Fareham Borough Council is keen to continue to work with Portsmouth City Council on cross boundary strategic planning issues in both the production of a review of the PfSH Spatial Position Statement and a future Statement of Common Ground for strategic planning matters in support of the Portsmouth Local Plan. Previous Duty to Co-operate conversations and consultation responses have captured the importance of working together on issues that affect PCC and FBC. |
