A Place to Live (Housing) Working Group Brief

The Task: ‘Develop options to support a sustainable development strategy for the delivery of Cornwall Local Plan housing targets for Liskeard to 2030’.

Starting Points:

What should new housing achieve for Liskeard?

What impact will new housing have upon:

  • the character of the town
  • the employment prospects for residents present and future
  • the viability of the town centre
  • Provision for those in housing need as well as considering balanced housing stock in the town?

The outcome should:

  • include a variety of delivery mechanisms, including private and social housing sector provision, community land trusts and community led self-build, and any other mechanisms that are appropriate to meet the housing needs of Liskeard;
  • include a variety of sites, maximising infill, redevelopment of brown-field/outworn sites, utilizing empty housing, rounding-off development boundaries, and urban extension where acceptable in planning terms;
  • include opportunities to optimise ‘planning gain’ through S106 and Community Infrastructure Levy provision
  • give consideration to the needs of small local builders as well as nationally active businesses;
  • provide for high quality design and sustainability solutions.

Delivery Activities:  

  • What do we know?  Population statistics & projections – which age-groups will have greatest need in future? We already know we have an aging population
  • What do we need to find out? – what do we already have in place? Committed/in process building/brown-field/empty/infill/potential change of use.
  • How do the NPPF and Local Plan support/feed in to the process?
  • What is the housing need – especially what type of housing is needed within the overall target set by the Cornwall Local Plan? Where are the gaps, and how should they be filled?
  • Where should new housing go?
  • How much housing can be accommodated in brown-field, empty housing, infill and other small developments?
  • How can the remainder be accommodated through urban extension, especially in view of the expressed desire for small community developments?
  • What criteria should be used to assess the viability/suitability of sites? For example – topography; water management; connectivity; landscape designation; minimizing environmental impact on what’s already there; infrastructure that’s already in place
  • Who should provide new housing especially in view of the stated preference for local builders employing local people (see employment group)?
  • What design standards should be applied to ensure quality, energy efficiency and sustainability (see energy and environment and design and heritage)?

Take full account of:

  • Affordability – how assessed – what is requirement
  • The need to balance the housing stock
  • Potential release of Cornwall owned sites/houses/buildings through devolution
  • Sustainability, Design standards, Energy efficiency (as noted in survey responses.)

As part of the work:

  • Hold engagement sessions with community and stakeholder/industry representatives
  • Visit and take advice from expert sources and recognised good practice examples
  • Prepare updates for reporting back to the Neighbourhood Plan Team at its monthly meetings
  • Prepare a report that makes recommendations on the options for policies and proposals that the NP Team and Town Council should consider taking forward [spring 2015].

Response categories from Community Engagement (number)

  • Use of brownfield/empty/infill sites (53)
  • Type – family/mixed/starter/elderly (53)
  • Size of development – small communities (45)
  • Affordability (44)
  • Infrastructure/transport links (35)
  • Need/demand/numbers (33)
  • Protection of green spaces/farmland (28)
  • Jobs/employment/local builders/self-build (24)

 N.B. Proposals must have regard to economic reality, they must have a planning purpose, and be achievable.

Recommended policies or proposals can be either specific (a site allocation); controlling (in a specific area something will not be permitted; or enabling (developments will be permitted under certain conditions).
