Merton’s Local Plan

Development in Merton is currently guided by planning policies in: The Mayor of London’s London Plan 2011 Merton’s Core Planning Strategy 2011 The South London Waste Plan 2012 Sites and Policies Plan (2014) Polices Map (2014)

These five documents - Merton’s Local Plan and the Mayor’s London Plan - make up the statutory development plan, containing the planning policies that guide development in Merton. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out government’s policy on planning matters in England and Wales. All local plans should be in conformity with national policy. Although the NPPF is not usually used to help assess detailed local planning applications, it can be used to inform planning decisions when the Local Plan is silent, out-of-date or there is any conflict between local or national policy. The Mayor’s London Plan 2011 containing planning policies that guide all London boroughs on issues for the benefit of the whole of London such as the number of new homes to be built in London, the size of town centres, and transport issues. All other planning documents have to be in general conformity with the Mayor’s London Plan. Merton’s Core Planning Strategy (July 2011) sets the overall framework for regeneration and development in Merton. Specific areas it looks at include:

Colliers Wood / South Wimbledon: creating a new town centre at the heart of the Wandle Valley; Mitcham: promoting well designed new homes and local businesses; Morden: creating a more distinctive town centre with new apartments that complements the surrounding neighbourhoods; Raynes Park: supporting Wandle Valley Regional Park? Wimbledon: making the most of the Wimbledon “brand” to promote Wimbledon as a world famous, well-connected business location with excellent cultural and leisure facilities.

The South London Waste Plan is a joint Development Plan Document between Merton and three neighbouring boroughs, Kingston, Croydon and Sutton. It contains detailed planning policies to guide planning applications for waste facilities, and allocates specific areas as being suitable for new waste facilities. This document, the Sites and Policies Plan and Policies Map contains

the detailed planning policies which guide planning applications for development in Merton, implementing the more strategic principles set out in Merton’s Core Planning Strategy 2011 and the London Plan 2011 sites for allocation for new uses maps which illustrate where certain planning policies apply in Merton, for example town centre boundaries, nature reserves, neighbourhood shopping parades. This is known as the Policies Map. Once adopted, these maps will be compiled into a large

Merton’s Local Plan

Sites and Policies Plan | 4 | 4

map of the whole borough, with extracts illustrating details of Merton’s town centres.

Once the Sites and Policies Plan and Policies Map is adopted (scheduled for 2014) it will replace the remaining policies and proposals Merton’s Unitary Development Plan 2003 and Proposals Map 2003. Supplementary guidance is produced by the Mayor of London and local councils to provide more explanation on the interpretation of policies, for example, assessing the transport or retail impacts of a scheme, or specific development sites. For a list of Merton’s additional planning guidance, please see Merton’s website

Previous consultation on the Sites and Policies DPD and Proposals Map

Three stages of consultation have already taken place in developing the Sites & Policies DPD and Proposals Map:

Stage 1 – “call for sites” (July-September 2011)

This stage was initial public consultation to ask people and organisations to suggest sites for allocation, policy issues and land designations.

Following this consultation, we assessed the responses and carried out research to inform the council’s preferred options for the sites submitted, drafted new detailed planning policies and land designations. The council’s “preferred options” for detailed planning policies, potential sites and land designations were published for comment between January and April 2012.

Stage 2 – “Planning ahead: draft Sites and Policies DPD and Proposals Map – preferred options” (January-April 2012)

This public consultation gave residents, landowners, community groups and other interested parties the opportunity to comment on the council’s preferred options for 20 detailed planning policies, approximately 50 sites and land designations. A large range and number of comments were received from residents, landowners, community groups and other interested parties. As part of these comments, an additional 15 sites were suggested by landowners, councillors and other interested parties. We have assessed these sites and these are published as Stage 2a.

Page 5: Submission Draft Sites and Policies Plan and Draft ...

Sites and Policies Plan | 5 Plan | 5

Stage 2a - “additional sites and policies and Proposals Map: preferred options continued” (June-July 2012)

This consultation gives residents, landowners, community groups and other interested parties an opportunity to have their say on three new detailed planning policies, 15 additional sites that were suggested by people and organisations at Stage 2 and some Proposals Map designations. This consultation is a continuation of the Stage 2 “preferred options” for the Sites and Policies DPD and Proposals Map.

Stage 3 - “Draft Sites and Policies Development Plan Document and draft Policies Map (January – February 2013)

This consultation was essentially a draft of the final plan, amended from feedback received during the previous seven months of public consultation. It brought together all of the potential sites, together with the draft planning policies and land designations into one document. Stage 3 was an additional two months of consultation (not required by statute) in order to ensure that people and organisations had their chance to respond to a draft of the final plan.

What happened to my comments?

Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to the three earlier consultations on potential sites, draft detailed planning policies and the draft Policies Map. All the comments received are available on Merton Council’s website: http://www.merton.gov.uk/environment/planning/planningpolicy/ldf/sites_policies_dpd/sites_policies_consultation.htm

Your comments have helped to inform the sites, policies and maps in this document, which have been amended following your feedback, local research and national and regional policy changes. A statement of consultation is published with this plan, summarising all of the comments received and what changes have been made as a result.

Stage 4: publishing the Sites and Policies Plan and Policies Map

The council believes that this is the right plan for the borough and wishes to adopt it as part of the council’s Local Plan. Before doing this, the council has to submit it to the Secretary of State for examination by an independent planning inspector.

If you have comments on any issues within the detailed policies, site allocations or land designations that you would like the inspector to consider at his or her independent examination of the plan, please let us know in writing (post or e-mail) between Monday 15 July and Friday 30 August 2013 using the details below: FutureMerton London Borough of Merton 12th Floor Civic Centre London Road, Morden. SM4 5DX. Email: [email protected] Tel: 020 8545 4141 or 020 8545 3837

You are also invited to state if you would like to attend any examination hearings on Merton’s sites and policies plan and policies maps or if you would like to be notified when these documents are adopted.

Benefits of reviewing policies and site allocations now

The review is beneficial to the borough for the following reasons:

It enables us to plan proactively for services and facilities which need to be considered alongside development and to direct limited resources from the public and private sector towards where development might happen over the next 11 years. This allows businesses and the public sector to plan in advance rather than react to change.

It allows communities to get involved early on in considering how sites could be used effectively and realistically, rather than only at the later planning application stage.

It enables us to make the most effective use of limited land available.

It can encourage innovative ways of funding community services in the long-term, such as locating commercial or residential uses alongside community functions (for example, providing apartments above a new library to help pay for the redevelopment, as has happened in Raynes Park.)

It allows Merton to consider the local benefits of national planning changes and can help with innovative ways of funding services, making Merton more resilient to economic change.

It provides the research and background information to support any communities that want to create Neighbourhood Plans, while also providing certainty for communities across the borough which are not considering a Neighbourhood Plan for their area.

Presumption in favour of sustainable development

When considering development proposals the Council will take a positive approach that reflects the presumption in favour of sustainable development contained in the National Planning Policy Framework. It will always work proactively with applicants jointly to find solutions which mean that proposals can be approved wherever possible, and to secure development that improves the economic, social and environmental conditions in the area. Planning applications that accord with the policies in this Local Plan (and, where relevant, with polices in neighbourhood plans) will be approved without delay, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Where there are no policies relevant to the application or relevant policies are out of date at the time of making the decision then the Council will grant permission unless material considerations indicate otherwise – taking into account whether:

Page 8: Submission Draft Sites and Policies Plan and Draft ...

Sites and Policies Plan | 8 | 8

Any adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the National Planning Policy Framework taken as a whole; or Specific policies in that Framework indicate that development should be restricted.

Government legislation requires development plan documents to be appraised for sustainability to ensure that planning policies are developed to achieve the optimal balance of positive social, environmental and economic outcomes for residents. This is know as a Sustainability Appraisal. In accordance with an EU Directive, councils are required to undertake Strategic Environmental Assessments of new plans. Government guidance allows both assessments to be combined. An assessment of Merton’s Sites and Policies DPD has been conducted, which integrates both a Sustainability Appraisal and a Strategic Environmental Assessment and is referred to by the single term ‘Sustainability Appraisal’. A summary of the appraisal results of each of the draft detailed policies is provided in this report. Merton’s Sustainability Appraisal Report 2013 contains the full assessment of the draft detailed policies and the potential sites.

Ensuring equality An Equalities Impact Assessment of the potential sites and draft policies has also been undertaken as required by the Race Relations Act 2000, the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 and the Equality Act 2006. This examines the impact of policies on certain groups, to identify and combat discrimination and serve the needs of disadvantaged groups in the community.

Environmental assessment There has also been an assessment of the impacts of implementing a draft policy or site allocation on the nearby internationally important habitats including Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park. This is known as a Habitats Regulations Assessment and is contained in Appendix D of Merton’s Sustainability Appraisal Report 2013.

Next steps: examination by an independent Planning Inspector

The final plan will be submitted to the Secretary of State in September 2013. Any comments received on the final plans between July and August 2013 will be published on Merton Council’s website and made available to the Secretary of State and the independent planning inspector. It will be the inspector’s decision as to what issues are considered at the examination and who is invited to take part. The final plan – and all the comments received – will then be sent to the Secretary of State in September 2013 who will appoint an independent planning inspector to examine whether the plan is “sound”. If the plan passes the examination, it can then be adopted as part of the

council’s development plan to help decide planning applications for new buildings. The plan adoption is scheduled for February 2014.
