The Council’s Schedule of Consequential Changes to the Local Plan Supporting Policies Map

Main Modifications Consultation – February – March 2021

1. The Policies Map is not defined in legislation as being part of the Development Plan. As such, it is not something which the

Planning Inspector has powers to recommend Main Modifications to. However, the role of the Policies Map is to illustrate

geographically the application of policies in the Local Plan. If the geographical illustration of a policy is flawed, the policy will

be unsound. In such circumstances, therefore, the Inspector can ask the Council to draw up a proposed change to what is

shown on the submission Policies Map.

2. The following Schedule therefore identifies a number of changes to the Local Plan Policies Map (Policies Map Document

Reference: CSD4) which the Council has identified as being necessary during the Examination process. Many are

consequential and are required to align with Main Modifications being suggested to the Local Plan itself; they will make sure

that policies will be applied effectively. These have also been assessed through the Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats

Regulation Assessment Addendums published alongside the consultation and comments are also invited on these documents.

Please note, the online interactive Polices Map (CSD4) has not yet been updated to reflect these changes, but the Schedule

below shows sufficient detail in itself with respect to them. The Policies Map will of course be updated at Plan adoption stage.

3. Each suggested change has been given a unique ‘PM Ref’ which should be quoted on the relevant section of the Council’s

response form if you are making a response to the consultation relating to the Policies Map.

Suggested Change Reason

PM01 Policy 2: Settlement Hierarchy (Part 5 – Countryside) & Policy 26: Countryside

Amend the label of ‘Countryside’ in the Legend to ‘Countryside Policy Area’ to reflect the changes made to the policies (and elsewhere in the Plan).

Consequential amends required

to align with changes to Policy 2 and 26.

PM02 Policy 2: Settlement Hierarchy (Part 6 – Green Belt)

Hooton Pagnell Green Belt Boundary – a small section of the north-western edge of the Green Belt

boundary, where it adjoins the eastern boundary of All Saints C of E Primary School, for the Defined Village of Hooton Pagnell does not reflect the existing Green Belt boundary as defined on the UDP. This is a misinterpretation rather than an intended change. Consequential amends also required to Residential

Policy Area designation.

PM07 Policy 7: Doncaster Sheffield Airport.

Airport Public Safety Zones – delete from Policies Map in light of revised supporting text to Policy 7 and amendment to Figure 5, as these are not yet formally designated.

Airport Policy Area – new designation as per revisions to Policy 7 text to make clear where the policy

applies, including incorporating the community rail station safeguarded site (see below). The following extract shows the main changes to the Policies Map relating to the Housing Allocation and

the community rail station site in more detail. In brief: - The correct extent (smaller area) of the community rail station (as per the Section 106 Agreement

–revised) is shown, including a strip of land to the north of the railway for the platform, and this is also all included in the Airport Policy Area boundary. The ‘call out box’ for the station site should also be updated to link to Policy 7 (as well as its current link to Policy 13). The remaining land has

been washed over with Residential Policy Area; - Housing Allocation Ref: 223 has been reduced to remove the part of the site which is safeguarded

for the community rail station;

PM09 Policy 15 – Doncaster Town Centre Car Parking

Tickhill District Centre Boundary - The current Policies Map shows 2 slightly different, and in places overlapping, extents for the Tickhill District Centre boundary. This is in error and the extract below shows

the current incorrect boundaries followed by how the correct boundary should be shown (this also requires a change to the ‘Residential Policy Area’ designation in place of the incorrect ‘District Centre’ instead).

PM11 Policy 27: Green Infrastructure & Policy 28: Protecting Open Space and Non Designated Open Space

The ‘call out box’ requires amending to read ‘Protecting Open Space’ in line with Policy 28 as currently includes reference to ‘sport and recreation’ which does not feature in the policy title.

Poplar Farm, Campsall – Site of Local Green Space Value - There has been an error when mapping the boundary to site 489 (Poplar Farm, Sutton Road, Campsall). The Local Green Space evidence base makes it clear that site 489 refers to the larger field in this location (a portion of which was also submitted

separately as site 339). See the Local Green Space – Methodology and Sites evidence base (Appendix B Table 1 and Appendix D -SDEB20) for clarification of this. However, when preparing the Local Plan Policies

Map (CSD4), site 489 has been incorrectly mapped excluding the land to the north of the site, which was simultaneously submitted as 339, when the proposal reflects the whole site. To correct this error requires an amendment to the Local Green Space boundary and Residential Policy Area boundary.

The Policies Map (CSD4) identifies a school site (The Levitt School, Barnby Dun Road - formally known as ‘The Gateway Pupil Referral Unit’) as being washed over as part of the wider Clay Lane Industrial Estate

Employment Policy Area (left hand side map and blue hatching). The school site should have been designated as a ‘Community Facility’ in line with other school sites in the Borough, and as shown on the map on the right hand side (yellow hatching), given it is still in educational use, and as per its current

designation in the UDP.
