Wildlife corridors are particularly important in urban areas. Essential for the migration, dispersal and genetic exchange.

 

Damage to nature conservation to be avoided with pipeline work at the Havant Thicket Reservoir. Habitat, landscape & recreation enhancement should be encouraged

 

Nature conservation and recreation should included in the Havant Thicket Reservoir.

 

Play parks have gone . Children need space to let off steam. Space at Warren Park required for ‘mini motors’.

 

 

 

School playing fields should be used for supervised activities.

 

Need and impact of cultural facilities should be assessed.

 

The open spaces along the stream valleys should be quantified.

 

 

Concerns if development upstream and downstream of the dam at Warren Park is proposed for development. 8m maintenance zone required on either side of watercourse.

 

 

 

Point (x) in para. 9.4 (10.4 in revised SPD) should move to section 9.5.

 

 

 

The Environment Agency should be added as a partners for the production of welcomed master plans for the stream valleys.

 

The Hermitage stream is a failing watercourse. Designs which improve water quality are supported. During building water quality should not be affected, e.g. by de-watering.

 

Sport England welcomes the SPD in particular the provision and upgrading of open space, sport and recreation.

 

The SPD does not fully embrace the range of provision residents may demand. Potential to increase participation in sport and active recreation not maximized.. No mention of indoor/built provision or off site contributions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2,000 additional dwellings justifies demand for a swimming pool and a sports hall.

 

If a wider range of provision will realise health and social benefits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Integrate the Cycling Strategy with paths around the Reservoir and through the Country Park.

 

Portsmouth Water will need to work closely with the Environment Agency to ensure compatibility of proposals.

 

Play area next to St Francis Church, Riders Lane should be reintroduced

 

 

 

Whether the Ramsdale Avenue open space is the County Council development site should be clarified.

 

The condition/untidiness of the steam valleys is a concern.

 

Misuse of open space, for example use by travellers .

 

 

 

 

Redevelopment of part of the District Centre could provide space for leisure facilities.

 

 

Insufficient to improve open spaces without coaching which would encourage use and dissuade anti-social behaviour

 

More facilities are required for young people such as a cinema and sports facilities in parks.

 

 

 

If open spaces are developed there will be nowhere for youngsters to play. Development should not result in the loss of the spacious character of Leigh Park.

 

 

Para. 5.20 will be amended.

Havant Thicket Reservoir will provide employment particularly for tourism. This is part of the overall cost /benefit calculation.

 

Urgent need for employment. SPD is silent about knowledge-based industries can be brought to Dunsbury Hill Farm. No mention of redeveloping the West Leigh industrial estates. Dunsbury Hill Farm should be reserved for knowledge-based industries.

 

 

 

Expansion of the Dunsbury Hill employment site is opposed. West of Waterlooville MDA employment is unlikely to be developed. Land should be used for housing rather than expansion of Leigh Park.

 

Welcomes the importance given to employment including the Dunsbury Hill proposal. The table on page 28 [of revised Strategic Framework ] should be amended to reflect SEEDA ’s role.

 

HCC should be included in the implementation column for education learning and skills.

 

A good proportion of jobs and training opportunities should be available Leigh Park residents. They must not be disenfranchised. Employment or training must be attainable and suitable.

 

Support regeneration of Leigh Park as a vibrant, sustainable community. More encouragement for local business start-ups is required.

 

Need for more jobs.

 

 

 

More training and jobs including ‘local labour in construction schemes are needed.

 

 

 

 

The type of employment will be addressed in the Dunsbury Hill Masterplan. Employment provision needs to be balanced to provide for local needs. The Dunsbury development is a statutory plan policy (EMP1.4) which the SPD cannot change.

 

Most of the employment land in the MDA is outside the Borough. The SPD cannot pre-empt the outcome of the MDA development.

Social infrastructure required for Leigh Park needs (and deserves) far more than contributions from developers. The SPD should be much clearer on what is required, and more proactive (and prescriptive).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Children's Services agenda will strengthen the community and the wellbeing of parents and children though such programmes as children's centres, extended schools and the delivery of integrated services to children and families.

 

Use of existing community facilities is a sensible approach. Developers should only be expected to provide land and build facilities where they do not exist. Para. 6.3 needs to conform with Circular 05/2005.

 

First bullet point 1 on p. 29 should include HCC in the implementation column.

 

The potential number of dwellings is too high. Insufficient capacity in the schools.

 

 

 

Doctors are overloaded. small developments will worsen this problem.

 

Need for more police.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Surplus school places might require children staying within their own school catchment.

The Area Action Plan urgently required so that implementation within the timescales is not delayed.

 

 

 

Students be should be involved in identifying what they would like in regeneration.

 

The Strategic Framework offers one opportunity for Havant to attract long term investment and clarity on the Council's expectations of the private sector.

 

Havant may wish to draw on, urban design concepts developed through the CQP process.

 

 

Clarity required on how further strategies will complement each other.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supportive of implementation. Committed to working with partners to provide learning and development opportunities.

 

Many of the proposals go well beyond the HBDWLP timeframe.

 

A positive relationship between PCC and HBC is fundamental.

 

CQP is strongly supported in the SPD contextualising and legitimising future work. The commitment of the Borough to CQP is amplified in the statement that developer contributions will be made to work for the CQP agenda. This sends a strong message to residents that by embracing development, their part of the Borough will benefit.,Transparent dialogue about the economic viability of schemes is required.Development should not be prevented by burdensome contributions.

 

A positive relationship with developers is extremely important. Maturity and strong purpose is needed from the Borough’s Planning Service to ensure that the CQP objectives can be fulfilled.

 

The Strategic Framework should be part of the Local Development Framework.

 

Confirmation that ALL members of the partnership are committed to SPD is required. What process is in place to ensure resident involvement?

 

Achievements and assets need to be promoted to to indicate what could be achieved elsewhere.

 

The interest created by the CQP project and the EbD events needs to be fostered otherwise people will think nothing is going to happen.

 

All types of media should be used. Resident’s panels must continue with increasing emphasis on consultation with community

 

Partnership is the key to successful regeneration.

Strategic Framework welcomed and complimented. The SPD provides a good start for a portfolio of LDF documents. More and better illustrations should be included to raise expectations.

 

The SPD is welcome particularly the Urban Design Guidelines. Planning Aid applauds the community involvement in the CQP project.

 

Overall this is a very good document.

 

 

Portsmouth City Council fully supports the regeneration.

 

The SPD is a powerful document by identifying opportunities and unlocking potential.

 

Support for the presentation of the Strategic Framework

 

Welcomes the composition of the SPD and its positive approach.

 

Pleased that the sustainability appraisal has been undertaken in parallel with the SPD .

 

The Integrated Regional Framework Objectives bring consistency with regional strategies.

 

Welcomes the integration of the Creating Quality Places Project into the statutory planning system.

 

Welcomes the wording of the SPD which recognizes the positive aspects of Leigh Park. More maps & diagrams would improve the document.

 

The SPD should be written so that it can be understood more easily by non-planners.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There should be less rhetoric and more data. Enforceable commitment of HBC to environmental aims should be clearly defined.

 

 

 

 

 

There should be consistent spelling of ‘’ focussed ‘.

 

No infrastructure in Leigh Park.

 

 

The funding of infrastructure needs to be clarified.

 

 

 

With further development foul and surface water sewers may have inadequate capacity. Section 98 of the Water Industry Act 1991 provides a legal mechanism through which infrastructure can be requested (by the developer).

 

 

 

No decision has been made on the need for the reservoir at Havant Thicket. Further detail will be required on the location of the pipeline and reservoir and the water uses.

 

The Environment Agency is pleased with the protection and enhancement of the stream corridors. Opportunities for enhancement along Lavant Stream.

 

Flooding is low risk at present but has occurred particularly in New Road.

 

 

 

A strategic flood risk assessment should be undertaken prior to the site allocations and should identify appropriate land uses in a descending order of flood risk.

 

Planning should be based on the most recent Flood Map and refer to the flood zones and sequential test in PPG25 and the PPS25 draft.

 

No development in areas prone to flooding.

 

 

Many houses have been built on flood plains and flooded regularly. Existing residents not being helped. Conditions likely to worsen.

 

Countryside Agency are unable to offer comments on this occasion.

 

No resources to respond to consultations.

 

 

West Leigh is neglected by the Borough Council.

 

Leigh Park gets too much money spent on it in comparison with other districts.

Summary

 

 

Flooding: Point 9 (in Appendix 6) could become a tick. Opportunity to reduce runoff to watercourses by the design of sustainable drainage.

Water Efficiency: The Environment Agency recommends that new development should meet the Ecohomes four star rating for water efficiency.Stable abstraction will have positive impacts on themes in appendix 6 including biodiversity, consumption of resources and water quality.

Contaminated Land: This section should include a reference to PPS23

The inadequate sustainability scoring fails to support its own conclusions.

 

 

The negative features in the Sustainability Appraisal result from the proposed development on greenfield sites.

 

Noted. The Appraisal recognises the loss of greenfield land and weighs this against other criteria to assess the overall likely impact of each proposed action.
