Stowmarket Area Action PlanRelationship to the Stowmarket Masterplan1.10 The Stowmarket Area Action Plan establishes the planning policy framework forStowmarket and the identified surrounding villages. The Stowmarket Masterplan is anon-statutory planning document that concentrates on Stowmarket and establishes keyissues and possible areas for future growth of the town.1.11 The Stowmarket Masterplan built upon work started for the Local Plan Review in2002. The process has involved the residents, businesses and visitors to the town. It hashelped identify areas of opportunity for making positive changes or conserving valuablesocial and environmental assets, while increasing awareness of, and understanding, theplanning issues. This arrangement, by which the Masterplan has informed the Area ActionPlan has satisfied the public participation requirements under the regulations.1.12 The Stowmarket Masterplan remains an integral piece of evidence to the StowmarketArea Action Plan. The Stowmarket Masterplan has made a significant contribution to theStowmarket Area Action Plan by identifying issues in advance thereby producing a robustand credible document.Core Strategy as amended by the Core Strategy Focused Review1.13 In accordance with the Core Strategy Focused Review Mid Suffolk District Councilproposes that Stowmarket provides for a minimum of 1,925 new dwellings. The StowmarketArea Action Plan must allocate enough land to accommodate this number of new dwellings.Sustainability Appraisal1.14 All local plan documents must contribute to the delivery of sustainable development.The economic, environmental and social effects of emerging policies and potentialdevelopment sites have been assessed during the preparation of the SAAP. A finalsustainability appraisal report including how it has influenced the SAAP is available fromthe Council's website (www.midsuffolk.gov.uk).Strategic Environmental Assessment1.15 The Sustainability Appraisal also meets the requirements of the StrategicEnvironmental Assessments (SEA) required by the European Directive EC/2001/42. TheSEA is an environmental assessment of plans and programmes prepared by LocalAuthorities that are likely to have significant effects upon the environment.Habitats Regulations Assessment1.16 A Habitats Regulations Appraisal (HRA) is required to determine whether a planor project affects a Natura (European) site. The HRA refers to the whole process, includingthe appropriate assessment step which is only necessary when a plan or project has beendetermined as affecting a Natura site. After assessing the Stowmarket Area Action Planit was not considered necessary to conduct an Appropriate Assessment because it wasnot considered that the plan will have a significant effect on the integrity of any SpecialArea of Conservation, Special Protection Area or Ramsar site (Natura Sites) anddevelopment will be resisted that does not conform to Core Strategy Policy CS6 andStowmarket Area Action Plan SAAP Policy 9.1.4Mid Suffolk Stowmarket Area Action Plan (February 2013)
Stowmarket Area Action Plan1.17 The HRA process to reach this conclusion involved assessing the additional growth,hydrological connectivity, distance from Natura Sites and potential for visitor numberincrease resulting. Natural England were involved from the onset of the HRA. Thisapproach and the findings received full support from Natural England.Mid Suffolk's intentions for the plan area1.18 The aim of the Stowmarket Area Action Plan has been to prioritise and select whichsites should be made available, and produce a phased programme of development toensure the delivery of infrastructure in a timely fashion. Future reviews of this documentwill consider infrastructure requirements and allocations as part of the required monitoringprocess.1.19 An allocation identifies that a site is deemed acceptable for its allocated use havingbeen assessed by the policy making process. However, sites which are allocated will stillneed to obtain planning permission. Allocation will assist with the progress of any futureapplication, and this approach conforms with the Council's moves towards 'DevelopmentManagement' rather than Development Control.Mid Suffolk Stowmarket Area Action Plan (February 2013)5
