Draft South Pennine Moors SPA/SAC Planning Framework Supplementary Planning Document
Representation ID: 27645
Received: 24/03/2021
Respondent: Persimmon Homes (West Yorkshire)
Agent: Lichfields
POLICY CO1 D - The proposed amendments to Policy SP11 that are described separately will ensure that reference to the provision of new recreational greenspace, or improved open space as having the potential to mitigate recreational pressure on the SPA/SAC is consistent with the provision of Policy SP11 and the accompanying SPD.
Zone C - Local Plan Policy SP11 Section D referenced the ‘roof tax’ approach to mitigation of recreational effects that the Council is proposing to introduce through the SPD as such the policy should be clearly linked to policy SP11, C 3 b which it addresses. We suggest the following update to the wording of the text.
The South Pennine Moors SPD sets out a strategic mitigation scheme and a mechanism for the calculation of the financial contributions under INS<policy SP11, C, 3b> to mitigate recreational impacts on the SPA and SAC as a consequence of housing growth and subsequent population increases.
