Key Points The Strategic Distribution Study confirmed the importance of the distribution sector to the economy of the East Midlands, particularly in the south of the region and within parts of the Northern Sub-area Actions The Regional Assembly, East Midlands Development Agency (emda) and the relevant local authorities and public sector bodies are already developing and implementing strategies to improve the regional offer of employment sites to meet regional objectives. This work should continue to be seen as a regional priority with progress closely monitored Leicestershire County Council is a lead partner on a number of innovative schemes to support the rural economy This work can be rolled out to Regional county partners as an example of good practice; regional mechanisms need to be identified to achieve this SECTION 5 Environment Key Points In the Peak District National Park 72% of SSSIs were in unfavourable condition, in comparison to 42% nationally Actions Continuous assessment by Natural England helps the East Midlands Regional Assembly (EMRA) target its action EMRA has set milestone targets nationally for each year to 2010, in order to achieve its aims The Moors for the Future project has improved conditions but the programme is in jeopardy due to the uncertainty over future ESA grant support The population of both farmland and woodland birds show increases, with the recorded populations of farmland birds almost returning to their 1994 levels and those for woodland birds remaining significantly above the 1994 recorded population Lobby CLG, the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (defra) & the European Union to maintain grant support Further significant region-wide positive change in the farmland bird index is not likely to happen until there has been widespread implementation of the new agri-environment schemes Defra’s Countryside Stewardship agrienvironment scheme, the Entry and Higher Level of the Environmental Stewardship scheme, has been implemented, with particularly high rates of take-up compared to other regions; these will show biodiversity benefits over time East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 17
Key Points Take up of Landscape Character Assessment coverage has now made significant progress across the Region Actions There is a need for criteria based policies in Local Development Documents and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs). Work has been done in the Region to develop detailed SPDs for use by Development Control Officers.This work needs replicating more widely Planning permissions granted contrary to Environment Agency advice on water quality grounds show a substantial decline and well on the way to meeting the target of zero permissions granted A significant number of Strategic Flood Risk Assessments have either been undertaken, or are planned, to better understated and respond to development proposals in relation to flood risk Only 6 local authorities supplied figures on Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDS); in all planning permission was granted for 13 developments which contained SuDS Progress is being made on undertaking Strategic Flood Risk Assessments, which are the responsibility of local authorities; the role of the Environment Agency in these studies, as set out in PPS25, needs to be established in each case SuDS still appears to be an issue that does not engage local authorities. Action is required to ensure increased implementation through the Regional Plan East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 The region has seen much increased interest in wind development and the number of installations is expected to increase markedly in the next year The region has challenging targets for renewable energy generation and there is uncertainty that all the targets will be met SECTION 6 Minerals, Aggregates & Waste Key Points The Region accepted the national apportioned requirement for aggregates provision and is one of the largest suppliers Actions The environmental capacity of the Region to continue to supply national needs has to be considered. The role of recycled and secondary aggregates will continue to play a growing part in sustainable aggregate provision 18
