Annual Monitoring Report 2008 - Gravesham Borough Council

1. IntroductionSection 35 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires every localplanning authority to make an annual report to the Secretary of State containinginformation on the implementation of the local development scheme (LDS) and theextent to which the policies set out in local development documents are being achieved.The report needs to look at statistical survey periods for monitoring and which are tied tothe financial year. This report therefore covers the period 1 April 2007 to 31March 2008.This is Gravesham Borough Council’s fourth Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) under thenew development planning system. Its role is to report on the implementation of theDevelopment Plan for Gravesham, including the adopted Gravesham Local Plan FirstReview 1994 and to inform future policy making.The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) is the main mechanism for assessing theperformance of the Development Plan and provides the trigger for any review or update.It is a key component in the development of a comprehensive system for monitoring thecurrent and emerging development plans in Gravesham as the Gravesham Local Plan issuccessively replaced by Local Development Documents (LDDs) within the portfolioknown as the Local Development Framework (LDF).Gravesham AMR 2008 Page 2 of 30

3. BackgroundThe Development PlanFor the period covered by this AMR, 1 April 2007 to 31 March 2008, Gravesham'sDevelopment Plan consisted of -• The Gravesham Local Plan First Review (GLP 1 st Review) (Adopted November1994)• Kent and Medway Structure Plan (adopted July 2006)• RPG9• RPG9a• RPG9bThe Gravesham Local Plan Second Review (Deposit Version) (GLP 2 nd Review) wasadopted for the purposes of development control on 8 March 2000. The first period forpublic consultation ran from 8 June to 21 July 2000. With the introduction of reformsunder the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act, the Borough Council resolved tosuspend work on the Second Review in November 2004, in order to concentrate on thepreparation of the Gravesham LDF.As we replace the Local Plan policies with the Local Development Framework we willreview the indicators we use. The timetable for producing documents in the LocalDevelopment Framework is assessed in section 4 of this report.In due course, the South-East Plan will be the new Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS). It isanticipated that it will be adopted in the Spring 2009. Monitoring of the RSS is carried outby the South East Regional Assembly with the assistance of the principal authorities, inour case Kent County Council.The Monitoring FrameworkThe Development Plan is monitored through a series of indicators. These are:• Contextual Indicators, which measure the background against which policiesoperate (see section 5)• There are no specific monitoring indicators in the GLP 1 st review or GLP 2 ndreview.• Core Output Indicators defined by the Department of Communities and LocalGovernment to achieve a consistent data set for all Local Authorities. They alsomeasure the direct effects of policy (see section 6).• Significant effects indicators, which measure the significant environmental, socialand economic effects of the development plan policies and are directly linked tothe monitoring requirements of the Strategic Environment Assessment andSustainability Appraisal. These will be included in next year's AMR once theSustainability Framework for the Local Development Framework is reviewed in2009.In future AMRs it is intended that the plan specific and core output indicators arecombined in this document as both sets are used to measure how far we are achievingour plan objectives.Gravesham AMR 2008 Page 5 of 30

4. Local Development Scheme UpdateThis section reports on whether we are achieving the timetable in the LocalDevelopment Scheme (LDS). For the purposes of this year's AMR the relevant LDS isthat approved in July 2007. It proposed that the following documents be prepared:• Core Strategy and Generic Development Control Policies DPD;• Site Specific Allocations DPD.Two significant events have impacted on our progress in meeting the timetable in thisLDS:• Some concerns about our evidence base• The revisions to the Local Development Framework Regulations and PPS12Following Gravesham’s Issues and Options consultation on the Core Strategy inNovember 2007, some concerns were raised about the comprehensiveness of theevidence base. At the same time, the latest guidance from the Planning Inspectoratewas that local planning authorities should provide a full and comprehensive evidencebase with the submitted DPD and that this will have been substantially completed atPreferred Options stage.Therefore the Council dispassionately looked at the content and longevity of its existingevidence base and the latest guidance from the Planning Inspectorate, and decided todefer Preferred Options to concentrate resources on enhancing the evidence base. Also,there was a desire to produce a more comprehensive plan by including strategicallocations in the Core Strategy rather than waiting for the Site Specific Allocations DPD.The below table sets out the anticipated and actual dates of meeting the key milestonesfor the production of each of our LDF documents.Table 1 Progress against Local Development Scheme in force at 31/03/2008LocalDevelopmentDocument(LDD)Core Strategyand GenericDevelopmentControl PolicesDPDSite SpecificAllocations DPDStage(s) to be reachedfrom April 2007 - March2008Consultation on Issuesand OptionsConsultation onPreferred OptionsAnticipated timeAugust / September2007• Part 1 – November/ December 2007• Part 2 – February /March 2008NO MILESTONES WITHIN PERIODTimeAchievedNovember2007Not undertakenA revised Gravesham Local Development Scheme 2008-2011 was submitted toGovernment Office for the South East (GOSE) in early December 2008.

draft LDS is available from the Cabinet webpages 1 . Subject to the agreement of GOSE,it is hoped that this can come into force in January 2009.5. ContextEconomic ProfileIn November 2008, Kent County Council (KCC) published an economic profile forGravesham Borough. This bulletin looks at the economic performance of the borough,based on ten indicators.In order to compare authorities, the values for each of the indicators are ranked out of354. These ranks are then converted to a percent-rank (i.e. out of 100) as a way ofstandardising the data. During this process each indicator is ranked so that a percentrankscore of 100 represents the best rank.1. Unemployment rate2. Median full-time weekly earnings (workplace based)3. Median full-time weekly earnings (residence based)4. Employment rate5. Total number of employees6. Stock of VAT registered businesses7. Three-year business survival rate8. Gross Value Added (GVA) per head9. Percentage of employees in the knowledge economy10. Percentage of the working age population with NVQ4+1 17 th November 2008 Cabinet Report Gravesham LDS 2008-2011http://www.gravesham.gov.uk/democracy/Published/C00000149/M00000891/AI00004118/$CabinetLDS2008.docA.ps.pdfGravesham AMR 2008 Page 7 of 30

Chart 1 shows that Gravesham has relatively high scores for both residence andworkplace based earnings, employment rate and three-year business survival rates.However, the scores for the remaining indicators all appear in the bottom 30% of allauthorities in England. Gravesham has a relatively small economy compared to otherdistricts, hence the low ranking for total employees.As chart 3 shows Gravesham has improved significantly in terms of employment rateand three-year business survival rates. There has been marginal improvement in thepercent-rank scores for workplace-based earnings and the proportion of those withNVQ4 and above, while the remaining indicators all show slight declines.HousingHousing is an area of great interest at the moment. The Department of Communitiesand Local Government (CLG) have a number of live tables within the housing statisticspart of the website which are useful to inform policy-making.The monitoring of affordable housing is primarily dependent on monitoring the number ofunits that are derived through planning permissions, e.g. Section 106 legal agreementswith developers. However this often undercounts the number of units that are beingdelivered for affordable housing. Therefore this AMR includes two sets of data. Thebelow table is derived from the Housing Strategy Statistical Appendix (HSSA 2 ) data onthe CLG website and includes social rent, intermediate rent and low cost homeownership. It comprises new build and acquisitions, and homes where the cost is met bya private developer (e.g. Section 106 agreements).2 More information on the HSSA is available on the CLG website viahttp://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/housing/xls/hssa200708.xlsGravesham AMR 2008 Page 8 of 30

Thus whileGravesham has experienced more modest population and household growth than manyareas of the South East, demand for housing in Gravesham has been increasingprecisely because it has been relatively more affordable than surrounding areas.Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) and Strategic Land AvailabilityAssessment (SLAA) update• A North Kent Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) is currently beingproduced. A region-wide Housing Market Assessment was produced to informthe draft South East Plan.• Government guidance set out in PPS3: Housing requires all Local PlanningAuthorities to assess the amount of land available for housing development andpublish the results in the form of a Strategic Housing Land AvailabilityAssessment (SHLAA). The guidance also advises that it is advantageous toundertake such an assessment in parallel with assessments for otherdevelopment land requirements such as employment, retail and leisure. In orderto ensure that all land uses are considered in a holistic manner, the Council hastherefore decided to undertake a Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA).• Government guidance for SHLAAs underpins the process by which a StrategicLand Availability Assessment should be completed. It is recommended thatLocal Authorities within a Housing Market Area cooperate in the production of aSLAA. As a result, the Local Authorities in Kent and Medway have agreed a jointmethodology that has been subject to consultation. Whilst all the Councils willwork in accordance with the agreed methodology, each Council can prepare theirown separate or joint assessment. Whilst Gravesham Borough Council will beproducing its own separate Assessment, officers will be working jointly withMedway Council to share expertise and best practise.Gravesham AMR 2008 Page 9 of 30

• Work on identifying sites in Gravesham for inclusion in Gravesham’s SLAA willformally begin on Monday 5 th January 2009.Retail and town centresKCC published a profile of town centre health indicators for Gravesham in February2008 3 . The health of a town can be assessed in many ways. This report considers thekey indicators most commonly used to monitor town centres and includes retail sectorfloor space, evening economy sector floor space, vacant retail property, retail yields,retail rents, retail sector employment, crime, transport mode, air quality, residential,cultural sector and cleaner streets. Gravesend town centre was surveyed 2007 as part ofKCC’s five year rolling timetable of town centre surveys.The key messages from the Gravesham town centre profile are:• Vacancy – There are a total of 321 retail properties in Gravesend town centre.Of these 51 were vacant at the time of the survey giving a vacancy rate of 16%.• Retail floorspace - Gravesend town centre has a total of 90,159m2 of retail andservice sector floorspace as surveyed in 2007. Approximately one quarter of thisis convenience floorspace because the town centre boundary extends to theAsda store at Imperial Retail Park.• Retail yields - Retail yields in Gravesend are higher than the mean yield in Kentbut are improving.• Employment - The retail sector in Gravesend is a significant employer. Onaverage, 2,500 people have been employed within the retail sector throughoutthe period surveyed.KCC has also published an “Annual Retail Stock Summary 2007 4 ” this is an analysis ofexisting, recently completed and proposed retail floor space in town centres and retailparks. The information is aggregated to district and county level, showing the knownposition as at 30 th October 2007.The largest town centre (by retail floor space) continues to be Maidstone, followed byCanterbury, Tunbridge Wells and Gravesend. Gravesend still leads for convenienceretailing which is partly due to the Imperial Retail Park falling into the town centreboundary. This area includes a large supermarket and several electrical/DIY stores. Theresults of this year’s surveys showed an overall net decrease in Kent’s retail stock. Thiswas due to a loss of comparison goods floor space in Canterbury, Cliftonville,Gravesend and Tenterden. Large extensions were completed to convenience stores atWillesborough, Ashford, Westwood and Gravesend town centre to allow for the sale ofcomparison goods.3 http://www.kent.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/3CCF69EB-37A2-4068-9A39-207F46D4BE5D/0/gravesendtchi.pdf4 Annual Retail Stock Summary RE1/08 - March 2008http://www.kent.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/CB0773AF-83FD-4808-A1A2-9007230BDBE8/13837/re0108annualretailstocksummary.pdfGravesham AMR 2008 Page 10 of 30

It forms part of the SSSI and partof the site is also a SPA. It comprises a complex of brackish, floodplain grazing marshditches, saline lagoons and intertidal saltmarsh and mudflat along the River Thamesbetween Gravesend and Sheerness in Essex and Kent. The habitats supportinternationally important numbers of wintering waterfowl, and the saltmarsh and grazingmarsh are of international importance for their diverse assemblages of wetland plantsand invertebrates.Special Protection Areas (SPAs)The Thames Estuary and Marshes was designated as a SPA in 2000 and part of thissite falls within Gravesham Borough. The marshes extend for about 15 km along thesouth side of the estuary and also include intertidal areas on the north side of theestuary.Special Areas of Conservation (SACs)Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) are sites protected under the EC HabitatsDirective. The North Downs Woodlands are designated as a SAC and part of this sitefalls within Gravesham Borough. It was designated because of the presence of maturebeech forests and yew woodland.Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs)There are 5 SSSIs that are all or partially within in Gravesham Borough:-• Cobham Woods• Great Crabbles Wood• Halling to Trottiscliffe Escarpment• Shorne and Ashenbank Woods• South Thames Estuary and MarshesNatural England assesses the condition of each unit of each SSSI on a 6-yearmonitoring cycle and divided them into the following five categories:-Gravesham AMR 2008 Page 11 of 30

• favourable• unfavourable recovering• unfavourable no change• unfavourable declining• part destroyed or destroyedThe Government has a target of bringing 95% of all SSSIs into ‘favourable’ or‘recovering’ condition by 2010. The following summarises the progress towards thistarget for SSSI’s with extents within Gravesham (please note that this is the condition forthe SSSI as a whole)• Cobham Woods - Over 81% of the area is in a ‘favourable’ or ‘recovering’ condition• Great Crabbles Wood - The whole area is classified as being in a ‘no change’condition due to the lack of forestry and woodland management.• Halling to Trottiscliffe Escarpment - Over 91% of the area is in a ‘favourable’ or‘recovering’ condition• Shorne and Ashenbank Woods - Over 96% of the area is in a ‘recovering’ condition• South Thames Estuary and Marshes - Over 96% of the area is in a ‘favourable’ or‘recovering’ conditionWater and floodingThe Kent Thameside Strategic Flood Risk Assessment Main Report is available on theKent Thameside Regeneration Partnership website. 5A Kent Thameside Water Cycle Strategy is currently under development.6. Core Output IndicatorsThe Government has produced a list of Core Output Indicators to be used in themonitoring of LDFs. In July 2008, CLG published a revised set of Core Output Indicatorsfor regional planning bodies and local planning authorities to report on in their AnnualMonitoring Reports.Core output indicators were designed as part of the monitoring framework to achieve aconsistent and cost effective approach to data collection across the regional and locallevels covering a number of national planning policy and sustainable developmentobjectives appropriate to local and regional policy. They are intended to help planningbodies monitor their own progress, and review their own spatial strategies.Unlike national indicators, AMRs are not used by Government to performance managelocal areas. The only exception to this is the three indicators on net additional homes,affordable homes and deliverable housing sites. These are the same as nationalindicators NI154, N155 and NI159.The revised indicators are:5 http://www.kent-thameside.co.uk/about-kent-thameside/flooding.htmlGravesham AMR 2008 Page 12 of 30
