Following Executive decision to formally adopt the South Pennine Moors Special Protection Area (SPA) / Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Planning Framework as a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on 6th July 2021, a limited number of additional representations were identified post Executive decision which have now been reviewed and included within the Statement of Consultation with subsequent minor amendments made to the SPD. The report of the Strategic Director of Place (Document “AQ”) therefore seeks Executive approval to formally adopt a slightly amended version SPD for use in the determination of planning applications. This SPD is in support of Policy SC8 in the adopted Local Plan Core Strategy.
Its purpose will be to provide the information necessary to enable planning officers and developers to understand the necessary steps to ensure compliance with the Habitats Regulations. It is an enabling strategy, unblocking potential Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) issues at the individual development project level where recreation pressure is difficult to mitigate on a piecemeal basis because it relies on a suite of integrated activities.
The SPD also sets out the level of developer contributions that should be provided to fund the measures required to avoid or mitigate any adverse impacts on the internationally protected species and habitats that arise from development within the Bradford District.
The South Pennine Moors SPA/SAC Planning Framework was subject to a public consultation which ran for a period of 6 weeks from the 8th February to 24th March 2021, in tandem with the consultation for Regulation 18 draft Local Plan. This report provides details of the key issues which have arisen from the consultation and the subsequent changes which are proposed to the SPD as a result.
