substances above certain quantities. In addition, planning permission may be required for development involving hazardous substances. 4.3.28. The development of hazardous installations and the storage and use of hazardous substances must not increase the risks to persons in the area, the wider community or the environment to an unacceptable degree. The Council will aim to keep hazardous installations and substances separate from land uses with which they may be incompatible (Planning (Control of Major Accident Hazards) Regulations 1999). 4.3.29. Where hazardous installations exist, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) are responsible for notifying consultation zones around such sites, and Local Authorities are required to seek the HSE’s view on the likely risks to any proposed development within those zones (Department of Environment Circular 11/92). 4.3.30. In Wychavon, consultation zones exist around several sites as well as some oil and gas pipelines. These zones are subject to review by the HSE, and their number and extent may change during the Plan period. Information regarding location may be obtained from the Planning Department. Environmental Statements 4.3.31. The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 1999, require developers to submit an Environmental Statement with certain development proposals. The purpose of the Statement is to provide an assessment and analysis of the potential environmental effects of proposals to assist the decision making process. An Environmental Statement is mandatory for projects listed under Schedule 1 of the regulations. Schedule 2 lists development for which a Statement may be required. All proposals for development covered by Schedule 2 will be “screened” by the Local Planning Authority to establish whether an Environmental Statement is required. 4.3.32. The Regulations also extend the requirement for an Environmental Statement to Permitted Development which is likely to have significant environmental effects. Where this is the case, Permitted Development Rights will not apply and a planning application, accompanied by an Environmental Statement will be required.

5.1. Introduction Section 5 - Social Progress 5.1.1. This section incorporates Policies which are intended to meet the wide and diverse needs of those living and working in the District. It is divided into two sections: Building Sustainable Communities and Enhancing People’s Surroundings. 5.1.2. Planning decisions can enhance environmental outcomes and are an essential tool for creating sustainable settlements. The Policies in the first section on “Building Communities” aim to provide a balance of private and social need housing in the District. A decent place to live is a basic human need. In addition, there are Policies to provide for other vital aspects of community life including the use of community facilities, open space, leisure and recreation. 5.1.3. The second section on “Enhancing People’s Surroundings” focuses on Policies covering the design and layout of buildings and their relationship with their surroundings. Where buildings integrate well, they will provide an attractive place in which to live, work and socialise. 5.2. Building Sustainable Communities POLICY COM1 CYCLING AND WALKING Developments will be required to integrate cycling and walking infrastructure within their designs and link these works in with surrounding cycle and pedestrian networks. Development proposals which would be detrimental to the District’s cycle and walking network or National Cycle Network Routes 41 and 45 will not be permitted unless alternative routes can be provided which are demonstrably better in quality, attractiveness, convenience and safety. In appropriate circumstances Section 106 obligations could be required to enable the construction of off-site cycle and pedestrian infrastructure. 5.2.1. The car continues to be the dominant mode of transport even for short (< 3 mile) trips which could be made on foot or by cycle if conditions were more favourable. New infrastructure and/or highway safety improvements can make cycling and walking more realistic alternatives to the car. The Council will continue to work with the County Council and other organisations, notably SUSTRANS to pursue the cycling and walking objectives set out in the Local Transport Plan (2001 – 2006), Wychavon’s Cycle Strategy (1996) and Worcestershire County Council’s Cycle Strategy (1998). In order to pursue Road Traffic Reduction Targets and the National Cycling Strategy Targets (quadrupling cycle use to 8% of all trips by 2012) and pursue the aims of the National Walking Strategy, new development must make a positive contribution to cycling and walking infrastructure.
