The region could help implement the new defra agri-environment schemes by developing and promoting initiatives (possibly through the Regional Biodiversity Forum and defra’s Rural Development Service) and identifying sub regional areas for key bird species and promoting or developing new or targeted initiatives The region should look at identifying a wider range of indicators to better monitor the overall progress towards reducing carbon emissions.The provision of better quality data by the Department of Trade & Industry will aid this process The Assembly should consider monitoring the coverage of Historic Landscape Characterisation Studies.There is also a need to consider an indicator which stems from the detailed Landscape Character Assessments that are being prepared across the region and used to assess characteristic changes in landscape as well as informing the targeting of regional landscape enhancement opportunities.This may be by way of the conformity role of the Assembly Work needs to be undertaken at regional level to develop detailed assistance (on criteria based policies in Local Development Documents) so that developments requiring planning permission protect and enhance landscape character The publication the Regional Biodiversity Strategy ‘Putting Wildlife Back on the Map’ (May 2006) greatly assists this action, particularly with its identified regional biodiversity priority areas The Assembly are bringing together a Group of experts in environmental monitoring to look at gaps and how these can be addressed The Regional Environment Advisory Group has established sub-groups looking at regional landscapes and data needs, which are considering these matters as part of their work (see also previous action). See previous action Information on the restoration of mineral workings is not collected by either the Mineral Planning Authorities or the Regional Aggregates Working Party (RAWP).This needs to be addressed for future monitoring cycles Key Points identified as actions for Government This report contains an update on progress 2.7 One issue identified in the previous Annual Monitoring Report was highlighted which the Regional Assembly believed required the view of or action from Government. There would appear to be a case for having national accessibility criteria that could take into account specific regional factors It is now felt to be a matter for local authorities to define their own accessibility criteria East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 23
2.8 One action from the 2004/05 AMR is still awaiting a response: From the monitoring of progress on the regional targets for renewable energy, it has been concluded that if the regional targets are to be met new legislation or the scrapping of New Electricity Trading Arrangements (NETA), and additional financial incentives are required in the very near future Whilst wind technology has benefited from Renewable Obligation certificates, that have helped to level the playing field, further incentives for less market ready technologies are needed.The Energy Review has highlighted a range of different instruments to support the different low carbon technologies and ensure adequate market penetration East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 Report on the conformity of plans, Local Development Frameworks and significant development applications with the Regional Spatial Strategy 2.9 The Development Control Provisions of the Planning and Compensation Act 2004 came into force on the 24 August 2005 and consequently the Regional Assembly became a statutory consultee on certain types of major planning applications from the perspective of conformity with the Regional Spatial Strategy.The Regional Assembly is required to report to CLG on a regular basis the number of applications received and the number responded to within the 21 day period. 2.10 However, it has been found that planning applications of regional significance are, almost by definition, large and complex and it is not always possible to form a properly considered response within three weeks. In all cases, discussions are held with the local authority case officers and, if more time is needed, an acceptable timescale agreed upon. 2.11 In the period 2005/06 68 planning applications were received (approximating to just less than 1.5 major applications per week during the period 1 April 2005 to 31 March 2006). 2.12 The Assembly has a statutory duty to comment on local development documents produced by local planning authorities that require public examination. In most cases Local Development Framework (LDF) preparation has not yet reached the stage where formal issue of a statement of conformity from the Assembly has been necessary although the Assembly has been consulted on a number of Local Development Schemes which include Core Strategy Issues & Options/Preferred Options, draft Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD), Statements of Community Involvement, Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Reports and other SPDs. Under the regulations, the Regional Assembly has a duty to respond to these.The Regional Assembly received 68 such consultation documents during 2005/06. 24
