Furthermore, in dealing with such applications (regardless of its size) paragraph 86 and 87 of the NPPF states that Local Planning Authorities should apply a sequential test to focus main town centre uses in town centres, then in edge of centre locations and only if suitable sites are not available (or expected to become available within a reasonable period) should out of centre sites be considered. 13.57 No alternative options are put forward at this stage, as the policy proposes a reasonable and proportionate approach to meeting the needs of Gypsy and Travellers. The Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Town Centre and Retail Study (2015) suggests that a threshold of 400m2 is appropriate to require a retail impact assessment, to demonstrate that to the Councils that development outside of town centre boundaries would not impact on the vitality and viability of nearby centres. 13.11 Dwellings can be adaptable to meet the changing requirements of occupiers. Where secondary legislation has the effect of limiting a household's eligibility to purchase a starter home to those with a particular maximum level of household income, those restrictions should be used. Heritage assets are defined by the NPPF as "a building, monument, site, place, area or landscape identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions, because of its heritage interest. This includes land around identified employment sites that may be required and is most logically used for employment purposes beyond this plan period.

The Open Space Assessment (2019) provides new evidence to discount this option. Adequate levels of amenity with reasonable access to light, privacy, free from unacceptable noise, odour, smoke, dust, light or any other pollutants. Further local requirements regarding the link between spacing standards, design and amenity can be found in Policy - Design & Residential Amenity. The location of development is a critical determinant on its sustainability and has a significant effect on the extent to which it contributes socially, economically and environmentally. (17) 13.53 The following data shows existing Gypsy and Traveller data since 2016, which includes Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople. As appropriate to the scale and nature of the development, proposals must: Respond to and safeguard the existing character/context; Include high quality design and architecture; Be designed for health, amenity, well-being and safety; and. 15.55 In addition, dwellings built to adapt to and accommodate the needs of the occupier over their lifetime can facilitate choice, help meet the needs of an ageing population and improve quality of life. Building for Life is a Government-endorsed tool for assessing the design quality of neighbourhoods and homes, and the latest version is Building for Life 12. The IDP highlights that in order to accommodate planned growth, school extensions and new schools will be required. Whilst Building Regulations approval is separate to planning permission, planning policies can require certain 'optional' (higher specification) Building Regulations to be applied. 2 (2006), Babergh Local Plan 2011 – 2031 - Core Strategy and Policies (2014), Any 'made' Neighbourhood Plans (currently East Bergholt Neighbourhood Plan (2016), Lavenham Neighbourhood Plan (July 2016) and Lawshall Neighbourhood Plan (2017)), Mid Suffolk Local Plan (1998) (saved policies only), First Alteration to the Mid Suffolk Local Plan (July 2006), Mid Suffolk Core Strategy Development Plan Document (2008), Mid Suffolk Core Strategy Focused Review (2012). 16.04 However, it is not the intention of the policy to stifle change or growth, particularly where such change is in the interests of the space or the users of the space.

The approach for the marketing campaign must be agreed by the Development Management case officer from the outset; The supply, availability and variety of employment land is sufficient to meet both overall District as well as localised needs; The proposal would not give rise to amenity conflicts with existing or proposed employment uses/activities in the vicinity of the site; That there would be an overriding environmental or community benefit from redevelopment or change to another business or community use, which outweighs the benefit of the current employment use continuing; and. They are commonly known as Section 106 agreements. The Joint Local Plan provides a framework to promote high quality, well designed developments, and good quality housing. Both of which are mutually dependant and supportive and are the essence in achieving sustainable development. It is the key piece of national planning policy and is supported by guidance in the form of the Planning Practice Guidance. This is known as 'enabling development' and should only be carried out as a last resort in line with the guidance produced by Historic England. The Local Plan seeks to support proposals which are appropriate in scale, design and location.

Policy LP33 - Developer Contributions and Planning Obligations. If there is reasonable expectation of adjoining land coming forward for housing development, it will take account of the whole contiguous site area when calculating what affordable housing is required. Through the Joint Local Plan the Councils have the opportunity to set out what constitutes a custom build house for the purposes of planning.

The Ipswich Economic Area Sector Needs Assessment (SNA) (2017) highlighted that Babergh has a high amount of rural employment and diverse commercial property needs across the Districts. Development proposals must consider all of the infrastructure implications of a scheme including existing commitments to infrastructure provision and cumulative impacts if the proposal forms one of a number of growth projects in a locality and or infrastructure catchment area. Applicants are required to mitigate the additional impacts their development will place on infrastructure. It places a duty on local planning authorities to co-operate with other specified bodies in relation to strategic matters. 13.42 The Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) – Part 1 and 2 (May 2017) and subsequent SHMA (2014-based Local Housing Need) evidence base updated data January 2019 is a joint evidence base document between Babergh DC, Mid Suffolk DC, Suffolk Coastal DC, Waveney DC (now East Suffolk) and Ipswich BC that (amongst other matters) provides the evidence to justify the need and requirement for affordable housing. The original dwelling must have a lawful permanent residential use and be capable of residential occupation in its current condition and form before any acceptable approved alteration.

Depending on the outcome there are 3 key thresholds and consequences: - <95% = required to produce an action plan within 6 months; - <85% = 20% buffer required for 5-year housing land supply; - <75% = presumption in favour of sustainable development in accordance with the relevant paragraphs of the NPPF. (53) This includes the 'sequential test'; where needed the 'exception test' and also a site specific flood risk assessment. Policy LP24 - Design and Residential Amenity. Applications within an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) and all major planning applications, may be required to submit an air quality impact assessment to assess and quantify the impact on local air quality and to identify appropriate mitigation measures to ensure that development is acceptable on the grounds of air quality. The Councils will respond positively to and support appropriate and well-designed applications regarding the creation of new health and/or education facilities, and extensions to existing facilities (C2/D1 Class Uses). Executive Summary 1. Map; List; UK; Suffolk; Babergh; Highest price; Lowest price; Most recent; Most recent. C3 Dwellinghouses – this class is formed of 3 parts: C3(a) covers use by a single person or a family (a couple whether married or not, a person related to one another with members of the family of one of the couple to be treated as members of the family of the other), an employer and certain domestic employees (such as an au pair, nanny, nurse, governess, servant, chauffeur, gardener, secretary and personal assistant), a carer and the person receiving the care and a foster parent and foster child. All developments are to maximise the uptake in sustainable and active transport a transport hierarchy must be considered. These spaces can contribute towards healthy communities. 15.22 The landscape and the historic environment have a strong inter-relationship, as the character of the landscape is influenced by historic assets and their settings, as well as traditional villages and historic townscapes. The intention of the strategy is to avoid adverse effects on the integrity of the Habitats Sites in combination with other plans and projects, over the lifetime of the Local Plan. Evidence to demonstrate that a service or facility is not viable, either in its current or future form should be agreed with the Council in advance (before being gathered) and should include: A sustained marketing period of 12 months, undertaken at a realistic asking price and on a range of terms and in an appropriate format by an independent qualified assessor; and. The Council will not permit any proposal that creates artificial or contrived subdivision of a site to circumvent affordable housing. For example, removing permitted development rights to insert new windows to protect the amenities of neighbouring occupiers. 16.21 Planning obligations are legally binding agreements entered into between a Local Planning Authority and a developer, which are intended to make development acceptable that would otherwise be unacceptable. 15.15 To create, protect and enhance ecological networks, the NPPF advises that biodiversity should be conserved and enhanced at a landscape-scale. Is the broad location proposal over the relevant thresholds for the application of affordable housing policy? 13.56 Proposals for new sites for Gypsies and Travellers or Travelling Showpeople would be considered under all relevant environmental policies, including Policy on Biodiversity, (10) 14.10 It is about a balance between ensuring there is sufficient choice in the employment land and premises market over the long term and being proportionate in the type and level of evidence required to support a change of use of small premises.
