Members suggested there was scope to use the information presented in the 4th AMR proactively e.g. growth in road traffic could be used to get the message to Government about not being successful in managing demand Members highlighted the issue of rail links in the East Midlands. Members referred to the problem of the Milton Keynes & South Midlands (MKSM) Sub-Regional Strategy being infrastructure-led and the issue over the Planning-gain Supplement The Government, regional and local agencies remain acutely aware of the growth in traffic in the region. The success of the Three Cities’ authorities in getting a pump priming award from the Congestion -Transport Innovation Fund (C-TIF) to develop a substantive road pricing proposal is noteworthy as is Nottingham’s success in getting lines two and three of the NET approved when other cities have been unable to extend their tram networks The proportion of rail use in the East Midlands when compared to other modes of transport has been historically low. This is partly due to a lack of large conurbations. However, much is happening in the Region to ensure levels of rail use will rise e.g. Nottingham Station Masterplan, Corby station, a new service from Nottingham to Leeds and the opening of Midland Mainline Parkway Station These issues are being addressed in the MKSM Annual Monitoring Report Progress on actions arising from the 2004/5 Annual Monitoring Report 2.6 The 2004/5 Annual Monitoring Report set out actions in Section 2, many of which would be incorporated in the review of the Regional Spatial Strategy or in the ongoing work of the Assembly.The remaining actions are listed below: Investigate whether the use of previously developed land (pdl) for housing is either giving rise to a shift towards greater use of greenfield land for employment development, or lower accommodation levels in certain types of pdl development, principally in city centres The response to this comment from the Government Office for the East Midlands indicated that the evidence in the 2004/05 AMR did not point to such a shift. Future AMRs may obtain further data East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 21
Further research and joint working with emda is needed to address urban/rural disparities and areas of significant deprivation The Regional Assembly, in discussion with the local authorities, should provide a single clear definition of the preferred areas for regeneration against which individual sites can be either included or excluded via Geographical Information Systems (GIS) plotting In order to meet the Regional Economic Strategy’s objectives for economic development it will be necessary for the regional offer of employment sites to be improved.The portfolio of sites across the region will require an emphasis on sites which will help develop key sector priorities emda has been supporting the East Midlands Rural Affairs Forum (EMRAF) in the drafting of the Rural Action Plan, as well as producing an evidence base to accompany it, which draws out urban/rural disparities. A shorter evidence base was produced with assistance from Natural England to support the Regional Implementation Plan, highlighting areas of environmental and socio-economic need in rural areas, to assist delivery of the Rural Development Programme for England in the East Midlands Work is in progress, as part of the Regional Plan preparation, to establish and define many regional spatial boundaries where not already in place The Regional Assembly, 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 East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 Local Authorities are urged to put in place systems and practices to ensure that the sequential location of proposed and developed retail and leisure facilities can be reported upon in future AMRs. Information from national sources such as the Valuation Office will be used to enhance the information on major developments already collected through local planning authorities The EU Water Framework Directive will be a key driver for the protection and improvement of the water environment for the next 25 years and work needs to be undertaken on how it is implemented This report contains an update on progress This year the Environment Agency has set up River Basin Management Liaison Panels on which the Region is represented. A study of the Region’s soils and their vulnerability by catchment area has been published by the Assembly as part of the study programme on land drainage, landscape and biodiversity 22
