A Health Impact Assessment Checklist, as set out in Appendix 5, will be required for applications for; a) residential development of 50 dwellings or more; b) non-residential developments of 5,000 square metres or more; and c) other developments which are likely to have a significant impact on health and well-being. 2. Hot food takeaways of any size within 400m of any part of the grounds of a school will be expected to show how they comply with an appropriate healthy eating scheme, unless such takeaways are within the defined boundary of a Town or District Centre. Where significant adverse impact is identified, measures to substantially mitigate the impact will be required.

Culture, Tourism and Sport

Development proposals will be encouraged that; 1. Make specific provision for sports pitches that are suitable for a wide age range of users, in particular children's sport. 2. Enhance the tourism offer in association with D H Lawrence or the industrial/pharmaceutical heritage of the Borough.

Cemetery Extensions

Land is allocated for cemetery extensions, as shown on the Policies Map, at: a) Church Walk, Brinsley b) Field Lane, Chilwell. Other permanent uses on these sites will not be permitted. Any nearby development should respect the setting of the cemetery.

Place-making, Design and Amenity

For all new development, permission will be granted for development which, where relevant: a) Integrates into its surroundings; and b) Provides, or is close to, community facilities; and c) Has good access to public transport; and d) Creates a place with a locally-inspired or otherwise distinctive character; and e) Takes advantage of existing topography, buildings and landscape features; and f) Creates well-defined streets and spaces; and g) Makes it easy to find your way around; and h) Encourages low vehicle speeds; and i) Provides sufficient, well-integrated, parking and safe and convenient access; and j) Provides attractive, clearly-defined and safe private and public spaces; and k) Provides adequate external storage and amenity space; and l) Ensures a satisfactory degree of amenity for occupiers of the new development and neighbouring properties; and m) Enables convenient use by people with limited mobility; and n) Encourages walking and cycling; and o) Incorporates ecologically sensitive design, with a high standard of planting and features for biodiversity; and p) Uses native species of trees, shrubs and wild-flower seeds in landscaping proposals; and q) Integrates bat and/or bird boxes into the fabric of new buildings; and r) Ensures that the development would not prejudice the satisfactory development of a larger area. 2. Applicants for housing developments of 10 dwellings or more will be required to submit a design and access statement which includes an assessment of the proposals against each of the 'Building for Life 12' criteria (see Appendix 2). 3. In the case of major development on sites released from the Green Belt as part of this Local Plan, or the Aligned Core Strategy, or for any site within the Green Belt comprising 10 or more dwellings the development will be required to score 9 or more 'greens' in the Building For Life 12 or equivalent. 4. In the case of householder development (including extensions, annexes, outbuildings and boundary treatments): a) All such development should be of a size, siting and design that makes a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the area and does not dominate the existing building or appear over-prominent in the street scene; b) Two-storey side extensions should avoid a terraced or cramped effect; c) Dormers should not dominate the roof; d) Any development should not cause an unacceptable loss of amenity for the occupiers of neighbouring properties; e) Development (including fences, walls and other structures) should not cause risk to pedestrians or road users by reducing visibility for drivers when entering or exiting the driveway; f) Annexes should not be disproportionate to the size of the dwelling and the plot and should only be used in association with the main dwelling.

Shopfronts, Signage and Security Measures

1. Proposals for shopfronts, signage and security measures will be granted permission/consent provided that they: a) Relate well to the design of the building concerned; b) Are in keeping with the frontage as a whole; and c) Respect the character of the area. 2. Security shutters should ensure that at least two thirds of their area comprises an open grille or large slots, in order to give a reasonable degree of visibility. Shutter boxes should be located discreetly within the frontage.

Retention of Good Quality Existing Employment Sites

1. Permission will be granted for the expansion, conversion or redevelopment of land and premises for employment purposes on allocated and protected employment sites provided: a) The employment use is within Use Class B1 – B8 or sui generis use of a similar nature; and b) The redevelopment provides the necessary quality of design, landscaping, parking and amenity in accordance with other policies in this Local Plan, having regard to the local environment and in particular the amenity of nearby and adjoining occupiers. 2. Permission will not be granted for the redevelopment or reuse of the site or premises for other purposes unless: a) The quantity and quality of the existing employment floorspace is maintained or increased; or b) The annual review of sites, published in the SHLAA, indicates that the site or premises is not suitable for retention or redevelopment for B Class employment development; or c) It is demonstrated that the site is not viable for employment use. 3. For sites located in the Green Belt permission will only be granted under parts 1 and 2 (above) provided: a) It would not have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt; or b) It does not conflict with the purpose of including land within the Green Belt.

Flood Risk

Development will not be permitted in areas at risk from any form of flooding unless: 1. There are no suitable and reasonably available alternative locations for the proposed development in a lower-risk area outside the Green Belt; and 2. In the case of fluvial flooding, the proposal is protected by the Nottingham Trent Left Bank Flood Alleviation Scheme or other flood defences of equivalent standard of protection; and 3. Provision is made for access to watercourses (8 metres for 'main river') and flood risk management assets; and 4. Measures are included to: a) mitigate any residual fluvial flood risk; b) provide flood compensation where it is appropriate; and c) ensure, including by the use of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), that: i. developments on greenfield sites maintain greenfield (pre-development) surface water run off rates ii. developments on brownfield sites reduce surface run off by a minimum of 30% compared with pre-development rates.

Pollution, Hazardous Substances and Ground Conditions

1. Permission will not be granted for development which would result in: a) An unacceptable level of pollution, or is likely to result in unacceptable exposure to sources of pollution or risks to safety; or b) Lighting schemes unless they are designed to use the minimum amount of lighting necessary to achieve their purposes and to minimise any adverse effects beyond the site, including effects on the amenity of local residents, the darkness of the local area and nature conservation (especially bats and invertebrates); or c) Development which would be liable to result in the infiltration of contaminants into groundwater resources, having regard to any cumulative effects of other developments and the degree of vulnerability of the resource, unless measures would be carried out as part of the development to prevent such contamination taking place; or d) Development in the vicinity of a site known to be used for the use, storage or transport of a hazardous substance, if it would result in the health and safety of the public or the natural environment being put to any unacceptable risk or prejudice the use or development of nearby land. 2. Development of land potentially affected by contamination will not be permitted unless and until: a) A site investigation has been carried out to assess the nature and degree of contamination, using a method of investigation agreed in writing with the Council; and b) Details of effective and sustainable remedial measures required to deal with any contamination have been agreed in writing with the Council, taking into account actual or intended uses; and c) There will be no significant risk to the health and safety of the occupants of the development; and d) There will be no contamination of any surface water, water body, groundwater or adjacent land; and e) There will be no threat to the structural integrity of any building on or adjacent to the site. 3. Proposals for development must identify potential nuisance issues arising from the nature of the proposal and address impacts on that development from existing land uses. Conditions will be applied relating to the restriction or mitigation of pollution effects where appropriate.

Air Quality

1. For any development proposals, all reasonable steps will be required to be taken to provide effective alternatives for users of the development to utilise modes of transport other than the private car. 2. Permission will not be granted for development which would directly result in a significant deterioration in air quality either through poor design or as a consequence of site selection. 3. Electric Vehicle charging points will be required in all housing developments of 10 or more houses and commercial developments of 1,000 square metres or more of floorspace.

Unstable Land

Within the Coal Authority's 'Development High Risk Area' permission for non-householder development will only be granted if it is demonstrated that the site is, or can be made, safe and stable.

Minerals

Development will not be permitted which would needlessly sterilise mineral resources of economic importance or pose a serious hindrance to future extraction in the vicinity.

Local Green Space

The field off Cornwall Avenue, Beeston Rylands (as shown on Map 38 and the Policies Map), is designated as Local Green Space, in accordance with paragraphs 99-101 of the National Planning Policy Framework. Within this area, development that would be harmful to the character or function of the Local Green Space will not be permitted except in very special circumstances. Applications will be considered with regard to paragraphs 143-147 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

Green Infrastructure Assets

1. Development proposals which are likely to lead to increased use of any of the Green Infrastructure Assets listed below, as shown on the Policies Map, will be required to take reasonable opportunities to enhance the Green Infrastructure Asset(s). These Green Infrastructure Assets are: a) Green Infrastructure Corridors (not shown on the Policies Map); b) Playing Pitches; c) Informal Open Spaces i.e. 'natural and semi-natural green space' and 'amenity green space'; d) Allotments; e) Recreational Routes; f) Nature Reserves; g) Golf Courses (Beeston Fields and Chilwell Manor); h) A mix of Informal Open Spaces and flood mitigation measures (land off Thorn Drive, Newthorpe); and i) Prominent Areas for Special Protection (Bramcote Hills and Bramcote Ridge; Burnt Hill, Bramcote; Catstone Hill Ridge, Strelley; Stapleford Hill; and Windmill Hill, Stapleford). 2. In all cases listed in part 1, and in the case of school playing fields, permission will not be granted for development that results in any harm or loss to the Green Infrastructure Asset, unless the benefits of development are clearly shown to outweigh the harm.

Landscape

All developments within, or affecting the setting of, the local landscape character areas listed below should make a positive contribution to the quality and local distinctiveness of the landscape. They should therefore be consistent with the 'landscape actions' for the area concerned, as set out in the Greater Nottingham Landscape Character Assessment and in Appendix 7 of this Plan.

Biodiversity Assets

1. All development proposals should seek to deliver a net gain in biodiversity and geodiversity and contribute to the Borough's ecological network. Permission will not be granted for development which would cause significant harm to sites and habitats of nature conservation or geological value, together with species that are protected or under threat. Support will be given to the enhancement and increase in the number of sites and habitats of nature conservation value, and in particular to meeting objectives and targets identified in the Nottinghamshire Biodiversity Action Plan. 2. Development proposals which are likely to lead to the increased use of any of the Biodiversity Assets listed below, as shown on the Policies Map, will be required to take reasonable opportunities to enhance the Asset(s). These Biodiversity Assets are; a) Sites of Special Scientific Interest, Local Wildlife Sites or Local Geological Sites (including those listed in Appendices 8, 9 and 10 and shown on the Policies Map); or b) Protected and priority habitats and species (including those identified in the Nottinghamshire Local Biodiversity Action Plan, section 4.5 of the Green Infrastructure Strategy and section 41 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006); or c) Trees which are the subject of Tree Preservation Orders; or d) Aged or veteran trees; or e) Ancient Woodland (as shown on the Policies Map); or f) Hedgerows which are important according to the criteria of the Hedgerow Regulations 1997; or g) Other trees and hedgerows which are important to the local environment. 3. In all cases permission will not be granted for development that results in any significant harm or loss to the Biodiversity Asset, unless the benefits of development are clearly shown to outweigh the harm.

Development in the Green Belt

Applications for development in the Green Belt will be determined in accordance with the NPPF, as supplemented by the following Broxtowe-specific points. 1. Proposals for diversification of the rural economy will be supported provided that they comply with the relevant parts of paragraphs 145 and 146 of the NPPF. 2. 'Disproportionate additions' to a building will be treated as those that, taken cumulatively, exceed 30% of the volume of the original building. 3. References to 'towns' in paragraph 134 of the NPPF will be treated as applying to settlements within the Main Built up Area of Nottingham and Awsworth, Brinsley, Cossall, Eastwood, Kimberley, Strelley and Trowell in line with Policy 3a of the Aligned Core Strategy.

Proposals affecting Designated and Non-Designated Heritage Assets

1. Proposals will be supported where heritage assets and their settings are conserved or enhanced in line with their significance. 2. Proposals that affect heritage assets will be required to demonstrate an understanding of the significance of the assets and their settings, identify the impact of the development upon them and provide a clear justification for the development. For designated heritage assets: i) Where substantial harm is identified, there must be substantial public benefits that outweigh the harm. ii) Where less than substantial harm is identified, the harm will be weighed against the public benefits of the proposal, including securing its optimum viable use. 3. Proposals affecting a heritage asset and/or its setting will be considered against the following criteria, where relevant: a) The significance of the asset; b) Whether the proposals would be sympathetic to the character and appearance of the asset and any feature of special historic, architectural, artistic or archaeological interest that it possesses; c) Whether the proposals would conserve and enhance the character and appearance of the heritage asset by virtue of siting, scale, building form, massing, height, materials and quality of detail; d) Whether the proposals would respect the asset's relationship with the historic street pattern, topography, urban spaces, landscape, views and landmarks; e) Whether the proposals would demonstrate high standards of design appropriate to the historic environment; f) Whether the proposals would contribute to the long-term maintenance and management of the asset; g) Whether the proposals would appropriately provide for 'in-situ' preservation, or investigation and recording, of archaeology; and h) Whether the proposed use is compatible with the asset.

Housing Size, Mix and Choice

1. Affordable housing should be provided at the newly-allocated sites at Awsworth, Bramcote, Brinsley, Stapleford and Toton, as shown on the Policies Map, or for any site within the Green Belt comprising 10 or more residential units, at a proportion of 30% or more. 2. Affordable housing should be provided at the newly-allocated site at Kimberley at a proportion of 20% or more. 3. For proposals on other sites for development of more than 10 units within Use Class C3, affordable housing should be provided at the following proportions: • 'Beeston' submarket: 30% or more; • 'Eastwood' submarket: 10% or more; • 'Kimberley' submarket: 20% or more; • 'Stapleford' submarket: 10% or more. 4. Any applications which propose less affordable housing or fewer 'accessible and adaptable dwellings' than is indicated in parts 1, 2, 3 or 7 of this policy must be accompanied by a viability assessment. 5. Affordable housing provision should be made on site, unless there are exceptional circumstances to justify otherwise. Affordable properties should be integrated with market housing and should be of a similar size, type and external style as the market housing. 6. Developments of market and affordable housing should provide an appropriate mix of house size, type, tenure and density to ensure that the needs of the residents of all parts of the Borough, and all age groups (including the elderly), are met. 7. For developments of more than 10 dwellings, at least 10% of dwellings should comply with requirement M4(2) of the Building Regulations regarding 'accessible and adaptable dwellings'.

Gypsies and Travellers

The Council will take a pro-active approach to ensure provision to meet identified need for Gypsies and Travellers. A suitable site will be identified within the existing built up area to accommodate the requirement for two pitches for Gypsies and Travellers to ensure the identified need is met.

Site Allocations

On sites allocated for development in this Local Plan or in the ACS, permission will be granted for development which: 1. Is consistent with the amount, type and distribution of development listed in the Key Development Requirements of each policy and shown on the Policies Map; 2.

Toton Strategic Location for Growth

A. Land allocated at Toton Strategic Location for Growth will be brought forward for the following development within the plan period. Development proposals will be required to be in general conformity with the Toton Strategic Location for Growth Illustrative Concept Framework (shown on Map 8). i) Between 500 and 800 homes, (with an overall capacity of around 3,000 homes) which should be located at the south of the Strategic Location for Growth as identified on the Toton Strategic Location for Growth Illustrative Concept Framework (Map 8). ii) Development proposals should comprise a blended density taking into account adjacent development (existing and proposed), topography and avoiding an inefficient use of land. iii) Minimum of 18,000 square metres for mixed employment (B Use Classes) to support realisation of an Innovation Campus and provide high skilled jobs to support economic growth in the immediate area and wider region. iv) Limited neighbourhood retail and community facilities (including health and education) of a scale that is proportionate to development to be delivered within the plan period and that does not compete with the retail offer in nearby centres including Long Eaton, Stapleford and Sandiacre. v) Provision of a multi-functional green infrastructure corridor to the south of the area including along the southern boundary that provides safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle access between the HS2 station, Toton Fields Local Wildlife Site and Hobgoblin Wood within the Chetwynd Barracks (site allocation 3.1). This will be a significant corridor in the area. vi) Undergrounding of the high voltage electricity cables at the south of the site. vii) Development should be located and designed to complement and not prejudice proposals for access to the HS2 Hub Station and further build-out of the Innovation Campus which is to be delivered beyond the plan period. viii) Highway infrastructure must be considered in conjunction with requirements for the Chetwynd Barracks allocation (Policy 3.1) and wider area as progressed through the Gateway Study and transport modelling. B. A Strategic Masterplan must be prepared for development expected to be delivered beyond the plan period at Toton Strategic Location for Growth and approved by Broxtowe Borough Council as the Local Planning Authority by December 2020. The Strategic Masterplan should: i) incorporate and demonstrate how the requirements set out in Part D of this policy have been complied with; and ii) be consistent with the development proposals set out in Part A of this policy and illustrated in the framework (Map 8). C. Development proposals expected to be delivered beyond the plan period will be required to be in general conformity with the Strategic Masterplan. D. Land allocated at Toton Strategic Location for Growth is expected to be brought forward for the following development, on a phased basis, to achieve a comprehensive, high quality development. The precise type, quantum and form of development including infrastructure will be subject to further assessment as part of the preparation of the Strategic Masterplan and future revisions to the Infrastructure Delivery Plan. Community Provision i) Provide space for provision of an expanded or relocated George Spencer Academy including a new Primary School. ii) Provide space for provision of a relocated Leisure hub with space for a Leisure Centre including indoor sports centre and 25m swimming pool and outdoor sports pitches. iii) Provide space for further retail and community facilities (including health and education) of a scale that is proportionate to development to be delivered that does not compete with the retail offer in nearby centres including Long Eaton, Stapleford and Sandiacre. Traffic / Transport / Connectivity iv) A system that flows well for all modes of transport including a multi-modal transport hub adjacent to the station and proper consideration of access both from Long Eaton and Stapleford, and how the site will connect and complement development at the Chetwynd Barracks site, including the necessary highway improvements to provide acceptable access to both sites. This will include good connectivity for cycling and pedestrians from the northern end of Chetwynd Barracks to access the tram and HS2 station via a network of interconnected Green Infrastructure. It will also enable the provision of high quality transport links to the other nearby centres in Broxtowe and Erewash, the three city centres of Derby, Leicester and Nottingham, the airport and strategic rail connected development at Roxhill in Leicestershire to the south, and towns in East Derbyshire and West Nottinghamshire to the north. v) Maximise the potential for trips to and beyond the station to be achieved through non-private car modes of transport. This should include: a) Tram extension to HS2 station which should be designed to facilitate its further extension over the HS2 Station and which should be complete prior to the opening of the station. It should be designed in such a way as to allow for its potential extension to Long Eaton, Derby and East Midlands Airport. This will need to include access provision over the station of sufficient size to accommodate different modes of transport which, in addition to the tram, would be bus, car, cycle and pedestrian. b) Safe and attractive pedestrian and cycling links between new and existing communities including Toton, Long Eaton, Stapleford and Sandiacre utilising attractive routes though the location to the HS2 hub and neighbouring areas. vi) A hierarchy of attractive routes and interconnected places should be created. Green routes should be provided and, where necessary, preserved and enhanced to assist with this including the Erewash Valley/Canal and additional green space to the north of existing settlements at Toton and Chilwell and to the south of Stapleford. vii) Pedestrian access should be provided to the station from the east with an additional secondary western access. This should include a safe route either over or under the station. viii) In terms of cycling provision, development should be compatible with future north-south and east-west segregated cycle routes. Cycling should be made a viable option for accessing the hub from within a five mile radius. NET extensions should incorporate a tram-side shared path (to extend to Derby if the tram is extended this far). ix) Bessell Lane should be incorporated in plans to access the station and significant improvements will need to be made to the quality of the public realm to encourage better connections to Stapleford District Centre and to ensure the quality of the cycling provision on this north-south route including extension of Midland Street, Long Eaton. On a wider scale the plan to open Bennerley Viaduct should be taken into account with its potential to create wider major leisure routes attracting visitors to use Toton Hub as a starting point for cycling tours. A link should be provided to national cycle route 6 along the Erewash Canal directly to the HS2 Hub station and cycle storage should be provided at the station. x) Private vehicle access to the station to be provided via the A52, terminating in ideally underground parking or failing this a multi-storey car park to serve the station. xi) Good quality transport links from the HS2 station to nearby town centres including a north/south link road to provide local vehicle, walking and cycling access to the station and to facilitate through bus services. xii) Onward rail service connections to other principal East Midlands Stations including Ilkeston Station. xiii) Prevent overspill parking in existing residential areas when the station is operational. This may include Toton to become a 'residents only parking' area to mitigate issues with Station/Tram traffic. Green Infrastructure xiv) Extensive multi-purpose interconnected Green Infrastructure routes to be provided to connect areas of growth and existing communities all of which should be of sufficient width and quality to provide attractive and usable links in the following locations: a) Along the northern boundary of the location south of Stapleford this should comprise a narrow, graded tree and shrub roadside corridor to improve screening of the Innovation Campus from the A52; b) Along the Erewash Canal to the west of the location (incorporating flood mitigation on the low lying Sidings part of the site) and Erewash River (between Toton Washlands and Stapleford); c) Along a north/south corridor immediately to the west of Toton towards Bessell Lane. xv) A new primary route through the centre of the location linking development areas to the HS2 Hub and to a high quality 'station square' as part of a new attractive principal pedestrian route. xvi) No loss of trees which are the subject of Tree Preservation Orders and extensive additional planting to be undertaken at appropriate locations to enhance provision of wildlife corridors of varying widths. xvii) Multi use sporting provision should be provided in appropriate locations ideally adjacent to the school for use by school children and others. Economic and Residential development xviii) The site has an overall capacity of around 3,000 homes. xix) The creation of an Innovation Campus as part of a mixed use development to provide significant numbers of new high skilled jobs to drive economic development in the immediate area and the wider region. xx) The provision of iconic tall buildings in close proximity to the station and on the western edge of the higher land further west. This is to provide suitable premises for economic ambitions to be met in a flexible format to allow for, and encourage, a mix of uses and also to provide a visual link to the northern gateway of the site leading to Stapleford District Centre and in doing so encourage additional investment in, and enhancements to, Stapleford District Centre. xxi) This development may include large scale conferencing facilities, university research/development provision, possible potential for hotels and other high tech developments seeking premises in proximity to a HS2 station. xxii) Specific delivery mechanism for the 18,000 square metres employment floorspace to be delivered by 2028. Land Assembly xxiii) Relocate the plant nursery, electricity substation, sewage works and Network Rail/ DB Schenker off site subject to the viability of such proposals and appropriate relocation sites being identified and secured. Other Issues xxiv) The necessary remediation of land; and xxv) Flood and surface water mitigation required to ensure any development is appropriately protected from the risk of flooding. Delivery Infrastructure requirements must be delivered at a rate and scale to meet the needs that arise from the proposed development, in accordance with the Infrastructure Delivery Plan. Development proposals must contribute proportionately towards the delivery of those infrastructure items set out in this policy and in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan.
