Doncaster
Local Plan
Publication Draft 2019
Ref: (For Official Use Only)
COMMENTS (REPRESENTATION) FORM
Please respond by 6pm Monday 30 September 2019. The Council considers the Local Plan is ready for examination. It is formally “publishing” the Plan to invite comments on whether you agree it meets certain tests a Government appointed independent Inspector will use to examine the Plan (see Guidance Notes overleaf). That is why it is important you use this form. It may appear technical but the structure is how the Inspector will consider comments. Using the form also allows you to register interest in taking part in the examination. All comments received will be sent to the Inspector when the plan is “submitted” for examination. Please email your completed form to us at If you can’t use email, hard copies can be sent to:
Planning Policy & Environment Team, Doncaster Council, Civic Office, Doncaster, DN1 3BU. All of the Publication documents (including this form) are available at: www.doncaster.gov.uk/localplan
This form has two parts: Part A – Personal Details and Part B – Your Comments (referred to as representations)

Guidance Notes (Please read before completing form) What can I make comments on? You can comment (make representations) on any part of the Doncaster Local Plan Publication Version and its supporting documents. These include: Sustainability Appraisal, Habitat Regulations Assessment, Topic Papers and other supporting technical (evidence base) documents. The full list of documents is available at: www.doncaster.gov.uk/localplan. However, this stage is really for you to say whether you think the plan is legally compliant and ‘sound’ (see below ). Do I have to use the response form? Yes please. This is because further changes to the plan are for a Planning Inspector to consider during an Examination in Public and providing responses in a consistent format is important. For this reason, all responses should use this response form. You can attach additional evidence to support your case – but please ensure it is clearly referenced and succinct. The Inspector will decide if further additional evidence is required before or during the Public Examination. For the inspector to consider your comments, you must provide your name and address with your response. Additional response forms are available online at www.doncaster.gov.uk/localplan Can I submit representations on behalf of a group or neighbourhood? Yes you can. Where there are groups who share a common view on how they wish to see the plan modified, it would be
helpful for that group to send a single form that represents that view. In such cases the group should indicate how many people it is representing including a list of their names and addresses, and how the representation was agreed e.g. via a parish council/action group meeting, signing a petition, etc. It should still be submitted on this standard form with the information attached. Question 3 (below) – What does ‘legally compliant’ mean? Legally compliant means asking whether or not the plan has been prepared in line with statutory regulations, the duty to cooperate and legal procedural requirements such as the Sustainability Appraisal (SA). Details of how the plan has been prepared are set out in the published Consultation Statements and the Duty to Cooperate Statement, which can be found at: www.doncaster.gov.uk/localplan Questions 4/5 (below) – What does ‘soundness’ mean? Soundness means asking whether or not it is ‘fit for purpose’ and ‘showing good judgement’. The Inspector will explore and investigate the plan against the National Planning Policy Framework’s four ‘tests of soundness’1. These are:
Positively prepared - the Plan should be prepared so it meets Doncaster's objectively assessed needs for housing and other development, including infrastructure and business development.
Justified – the Plan should be based on evidence, and be an appropriate strategy for the Borough when considered against other reasonable alternatives.
Effective – the Plan should be deliverable and based on effective joint-working on cross-local authority boundary matters as evidenced in a Statement of Common Ground.
Consistent with national policy – the plan should enable sustainable development and be consistent with the Government's National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
Question 8 (below) – Do I need to attend the Public Examination? You can present your representation at a hearing session during the Public Examination but you should note that Inspectors do not give more weight to issues presented in person than written evidence. The Inspector will use his/her own discretion to decide who should participate at the Public Examination. All examination hearings will be open to the public.
1 Paragraph 35 of Framework: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-planning-policy-framework/3-plan-making
Part B Please complete this Part to make your comments. After this Publication stage, further submissions will only be
at the request of the Inspector, based on the matters and issues she/he identifies for examination.

Dear Sir / Madam,
DONCASTER LOCAL PLAN
Thank you for consulting with the Home Builders Federation on the Doncaster Local
Plan consultation on the Draft Policies and Proposed Sites.
The HBF is the principal representative body of the house-building industry in
England and Wales. Our representations reflect the views of our membership, which
includes multi-national PLC’s, regional developers and small, local builders. In any
one year, our members account for over 80% of all new “for sale” market housing
built in England and Wales as well as a large proportion of newly built affordable
housing.
We would like to submit the following comments, these follow on from previous
comments made to the Issues & Options, Home & Settlements consultation, Draft
Local Plan carried out in 2015, 2016 and 2018 respectively.
Plan Period
It is noted that the Plan period runs from 2015 until 2035. Paragraph 22 of the NPPF
looks for Plans to have a 15-year period from adoption. As the consultation is only
just being undertaken for the Regulation 19 stage, it is unlikely that the Plan will be
adopted in 2020. Therefore, the HBF consider that it may be beneficial to take a
cautious approach and to extend the Plan period.
The HBF also note that the Plan period for land supply runs from 2018, and in the
case of housing appears to run until 2033. This appears confused and an
unnecessary complication.
Vision
The HBF is generally supportive of the bullet point within the vision states that states
that Doncaster will ‘meet our communities housing needs and aspirations focusing
growth in the main urban area, main towns, service towns and larger villages
providing a diverse range of homes’. Meeting the housing needs of the area is a key
element of the plan, which will not only provide social benefits but is required if the
Council is to meet its economic aspirations
Policy 2: Spatial Strategy and Settlement Hierarchy (Strategic Policy)
This policy sets out the proportion of homes that will be completed in the ‘Main Urban
Area’, ‘Main Towns’ and the ‘Service Towns and Larger Villages’. The HBF would
expect the spatial distribution of sites to follow a logical hierarchy, provide an
appropriate development pattern and support sustainable development within all
market areas.
Policy 3: Level and Distribution of Growth (Strategic Policy)
Policy 3 is not considered to be sound as it is not positively prepared, justified or
consistent with national policy for the following reasons:
The Council has continued to identify a net housing requirement of 920 dwellings per
annum (dpa) over the plan period 2015-2035.
Paragraph 60 of the NPPF 2019 states that ‘to determine the minimum number of
homes needed, strategic policies should be informed by a local housing need
assessment, conducted using the standard method in national planning guidance –
unless exceptional circumstances justify an alternative approach which also reflects
current and future demographic trends and market signals’.
The HBF have considered the local housing need (LHN) using the Standard
Methodology set out in PPG, it can be calculated as follows:
Step 1 - Setting the baseline:
2014-based household projections in England average annual household growth
over a 10 year period, with the current year being used as the starting point.
The household projection for 2019 is 131,355 and in 2029 it is 136,591, therefore the
growth equals 5,236, giving an average of 523.6 dwellings each year.
Step 2 - An adjustment to take account of affordability:
The most recent median workplace-based affordability ratio for Doncaster (2018) is
4.81.
Where an adjustment is to be made, the formula is:
For Doncaster this would be: Adjustment Factor = (((4.81 - 4) / 4) x 0.25) + 1 = 1.051
Minimum annual local housing need figure = (adjustment factor) x projected
household growth
For Doncaster this would be: Minimum annual local housing need figure = 1.051 x
523.6 = 550 dpa.
Step 3 - Capping the level of any increase
The Doncaster Core Strategy was adopted more than 5 years ago, therefore the
local housing need figure is capped at 40% above whichever is the higher of: the
projected household growth for the area over the 10 year period identified in step 1;
or the average annual housing requirement figure set out in the most recently
adopted strategic policies.
The Doncaster Core Strategy has a housing requirement of 1,230 new homes each
year 2011-2028, 40% above 1,230 would be 1,772dpa. The capped figure is greater
than the minimum annual local housing need figure and therefore does not limit the
increase to the local authority’s minimum annual housing need figure.
It should be noted that the Standard Method identifies a minimum annual housing
need figure, it does not produce a housing requirement figure. It should also be noted
that the Government is committed to ensuring that more homes are built and
supports ambitious authorities who want to plan for growth. The Standard Method
provides a minimum starting point, and there may be circumstances where it is
appropriate to consider whether the actual housing need is higher than the Standard
Method indicates. PPG (ID: 2a-010) goes on to states that these circumstances can
include growth strategies for the area; strategic infrastructure improvements;
previous levels of delivery; or where previous assessments of need are significantly
greater than the outcome from the Standard Method.
The Peter Brett Economic Forecasts and Housing Needs Assessment 2018 identifies
a demographic starting point from the 2014-based household projections of 562dpa,
which if adjusted to match a business as usual job forecast would equate to 579dpa.
However, to match the jobs growth aspiration of the Sheffield City Region it identifies
a jobs-led housing need pf 1,073dpa. Therefore, it is clearly apparent that there are
circumstances identified that would require a housing figure significantly greater than
the outcome of the Standard Method.
The Council identify that the housing requirement will be expressed as a range with
the bottom of the range being the LHN and the top of the range being the 920 dpa.
As set out above the HBF do not consider that the LHN produced from the Standard
Method would provide an appropriate housing requirement, it is evident that the
actual housing requirement should be higher. The HBF do not consider that it would
be appropriate to limit the housing requirement at the top end of the requirement
either, and do not consider that this would be consistent with the NPPF requirement
to support the Government’s objective to boost the supply of homes.
The HBF do not wish to comment upon the exact distribution of development. The
HBF is keen to ensure that the Council produces a plan which can deliver against its
housing requirement. To do this it is important that a strategy is put in place which
provides a sufficient range of sites to provide enough sales outlets to enable delivery
to be maintained at the required levels.
The HBF consider that it is important that the levels of development proposed for
each settlement is informed by appropriate analysis of the deliverability and viability
of the sites. The HBF and our members can provide valuable advice on issues of
housing delivery and would be keen to work proactively with the Council on this
issue. It is no use continually promoting growth in locations if there is little or no
prospect of them being brought forward.
The HBF also consider that it would not be appropriate to utilise the settlement
hierarchy to limit development in other suitable locations, and as such it is important
that the housing figures are taken as a minimum not a limit.
Policy 6: Housing Allocations (Strategic Policy)
Policy 6 is not considered to be sound as it is not positively prepared or consistent
with national policy for the following reasons:
The HBF are keen that the Council produces a plan which can deliver against its
housing requirement. To do this it is important that a strategy is put in place which
provides a sufficient range of sites to provide enough sales outlets to enable delivery
to be maintained at the required levels throughout the plan period. The HBF and our
members can provide valuable advice on issues of housing delivery and would be
keen to work proactively with the Council on this issue.
The HBF also strongly recommends that the plan allocates more sites than required
to meet the housing requirement as a buffer. This buffer should be sufficient to deal
with any under-delivery which is likely to occur from some sites. Such an approach
would be consistent with the NPPF requirements for the plan to be positively
prepared and flexible. The HBF recommends an appropriate contingency (circa 20%)
to the overall housing land supply to provide sufficient flexibility for unforeseen
circumstances and in acknowledgement that the housing requirement is a minimum
not a maximum figure.
The HBF does not wish to comment upon the acceptability or otherwise of individual
sites. It is, however, important that all the sites contained within the plan are
deliverable over the plan period and planned to an appropriate strategy. The
Council’s assumptions on sites in relation to delivery and capacity should be realistic
based on evidence supported by the parties responsible for housing delivery and
sense checked by the Council based on local knowledge and historical empirical
data.
The HBF representations are submitted without prejudice to any comments made by
other parties on the deliverability of specific sites included in the overall HLS, 5 YHLS
and housing trajectories. However, the HBF do have some concerns about the
delivery of homes and seek assurance that the housing requirement will be delivered.
Policy 8: Delivering the necessary range of housing (Strategic Policy)
Policy 8 is not considered to be sound as it is not justified or consistent with national
policy for the following reasons:
Housing Mix
The HBF understands the need for a mix of house size, type, price and tenure and is
generally supportive of providing a range and choice of homes to meet the needs
and market demand in the local area. It is, however, important that any policy is
workable and ensures that housing delivery will not be compromised or stalled due to
overly prescriptive requirements or the need to provide significant amounts of
additional evidence.
The HBF recommends a flexible approach is taken regarding housing mix which
recognises that needs and demand will vary from area to area and site to site;
ensures that the scheme is viable; and provides an appropriate mix for the location.
The HBF would also highlight the need for creating a housing market that will attract
investors to Doncaster, and to provide an element of aspiration to ensure working
people and families are retained within the area. The HBF consider that the Council
need to be aware that the latest Housing Need Assessment will only ever identify
current deficits and reflects a snap-shot in time. Therefore, even the latest HNA may
not reflect the position at the time of an application. The HBF would like to ensure
greater flexibility within this policy to acknowledge that the mix can vary both
geographically and over the plan period.
Affordable Housing
This policy requires housing sites of 15 or more homes in the Borough’s high value
housing market areas to include 23% affordable homes and for 15% of affordable in
other areas.
The HBF does not dispute the need for affordable housing within Doncaster and
indeed supports the need to address the affordable housing requirements of the
borough. The NPPF is, however, clear that the derivation of affordable housing
policies must not only take account of need but also viability. Paragraph 34 of the
NPPF (2019) established the importance of viability to ensure that development
identified in the Plan should not be subject to such scale of obligations and policy
burden that their ability to be delivered might be threatened.
The Whole Plan Viability Testing (2019) report shows the issues of viability for a
number of sites. It shows that schemes in the low value areas are not viable and will
not be able to support the affordable housing requirement.
The Council should be mindful that it is unrealistic to negotiate every site on a one by
one basis because the base-line aspiration of a policy or combination of policies is
set too high as this will jeopardise future housing delivery. Therefore, site by site
negotiations on these sites should occur occasionally rather than routinely.
Policy 29: Open Space Provision in New Developments Policy 29 is not considered to be sound as it is not justified or consistent with national
policy for the following reasons:
This policy looks for residential developments to provide open space to address local
green space needs and deficiencies. Overall, the HBF is supportive of the drive
towards incorporating additional green space within new communities. However,
developers should only be expected to provide for those facilities which are made
necessary by the development proposed and not simply in order to make up for
existing deficiencies in provision or provide benefits for the community at large. It
should also be acknowledged that this may have a knock-on effect on housing
density and the need for additional land to be allocated for new development.
Policy 46: Housing Design Standards (Strategic Policy)
Policy 46 is not considered to be sound as it is not justified or consistent with national
policy for the following reasons:
Nationally Described Space Standard
This policy looks for all new housing to meet national spaces standards as a
minimum. However, these enhanced standards, as introduced by Government, are
intended to be optional and can only be introduced where there is a clear need and
they retain development viability. As such they were introduced on a ‘need to have’
rather than a ‘nice to have’ basis.
PPG (ID 56-020) identifies the type of evidence required to introduce such a policy. It
states that ‘where a need for internal space standards is identified, local planning
authorities should provide justification for requiring internal space policies. Local
planning authorities should take account of the following areas:
Need – evidence should be provided on the size and type of dwellings currently
being built in the area, to ensure the impacts of adopting space standards can be
properly assessed, for example, to consider any potential impact on meeting
demand for starter homes.
Viability – the impact of adopting the space standard should be considered as
part of a plan’s viability assessment with account taken of the impact of potentially
larger dwellings on land supply. Local planning authorities will also need to
consider impacts on affordability where a space standard is to be adopted.
Timing – there may need to be a reasonable transitional period following adoption
of a new policy on space standards to enable developers to factor the cost of
space standards into future land acquisitions’.
The Housing Design Standards Policy Evidence Paper (June 2019) surveyed 246
homes across 47 sites, to determine how many met the NDSS. It is not apparent if
these sites had been submitted after the Government introduction of the NDSS, but it
seems unlikely that it would have been in place at the time many of the applications
were submitted. The Council indicate that through there research they have identified
that a number of properties have not been built to the NDSS. They state that ‘201 out
of the 246 plans assessed met the gross internal floor area based on their proposed
number of bedrooms’ and that ‘plans were more likely to fail against the NDSS based
on storage space or bedroom size, highlighting an internal design issue as opposed
to dwelling plot size’. The Council also suggest that the NDSS would be beneficial in
providing ventilation, reducing under-occupancy and over-crowding. However, the
evidence provided is limited in terms of numbers of properties considered and the
potential market comparisons made. It is not evident from the information provided
what ‘need’ there actually is for properties built to the standards there is no evidence
that these smaller properties are not selling, there is no evidence provided that
customers are not satisfied with these properties or that these properties are not
comparable to other properties available in the market area. The HBF consider that if
the Government had just expected all properties to be built to NDSS that they would
have made these standards mandatory not optional.
The HBF consider that standards can, in some instances, have a negative impact
upon viability, increase affordability issues and reduce customer choice. In terms of
choice some developers will provide entry level two, three and four-bedroom
properties which may not meet the optional nationally described space standards but
are required to ensure that those on lower incomes can afford a property which has
their required number of bedrooms. The industry knows its customers and what they
want, our members would not sell homes below the enhanced standard size if they
did not appeal to the market.
It should be noted that the HBF Annual Industry Customer Satisfaction Survey
published March 2019 and completed by 60,955 new homeowners highlights that
90% of people who have bought a new home would do so again. It also highlights
that 93% of homeowners are satisfied with the internal design and layout of their new
home. This does not suggest that new homeowners have issues with the size of
rooms provided or that there is a need for the NDSS to be introduced.
Accessible and Adaptable Dwellings (M4(2))
Policy 46 looks for 65% of homes on developments of 10 or more (or over 0.5ha) to
be at M4(2) standards, and for 5% to be provided at M4(3) standards.
The HBF is generally supportive of providing homes that are suitable to meet the
needs of those with limiting long term illnesses or disabilities. However, if the Council
wishes to adopt the higher optional standards for accessible, adaptable and
wheelchair homes the Council should only do so by applying the criteria set out in the
PPG.
It must be remembered that all new homes will be built to part M4(1). According to
Part M of the Building Regulations meeting M4(1) will ensure reasonable provision
for most people, including wheelchair users, to approach and enter the dwelling and
to access habitable rooms and sanitary facilities on the entrance storey. As such
these standards are likely to be suitable for the majority of people.
PPG (ID 56-07) identifies the type of evidence required to introduce such a policy,
including the likely future need; the size, location, type and quality of dwellings
needed; the accessibility and adaptability of the existing stock; how the needs vary
across different housing tenures; and the overall viability. It is incumbent on the
Council to provide a local assessment evidencing the specific case for Doncaster
which justifies the inclusion of optional higher standards for accessible / adaptable
homes in its Local Plan policy.
The Housing Design Standards Policy Evidence Paper (June 2019) identifies that
18.78% of the population of Doncaster was over 65 yrs in 2017 and that 24.83% will
be by 2035. The HBF does not dispute the ageing population within Doncaster,
however, it is not clear how this ageing population and potential future need reflects
in the need for 65% of all new homes to be provided at M4(2) standards. If it had
been the Government’s intention that generic statements identifying an ageing
population justified adoption of the accessible & adaptable homes standards, then
the logical solution would have been to incorporate the M4(2) as mandatory via the
Building Regulations which the Government has not done. The optional higher M4(2)
standard should only be introduced on a “need to have” rather than a “nice to have”
basis. The evidence does not demonstrate this need.
The Housing Design Standards Policy Evidence Paper (June 2019) also that older
people and individuals with a long-term health problem or disability (LTHPD) would
prefer to live in smaller, one or two bed- properties. It is not clear how this evidence
has been considered in relation to the policy.
The Whole Plan Viability Testing (2019) report shows the issues of viability for a
number of sites. It shows that schemes in the low value areas are not viable and will
not be able to support the optional housing standards along with the cumulative
requirements from other policies.
If the Council can provide the appropriate evidence and this policy is to be included,
then the HBF recommend that an appropriate transition period is included within the
policy. The PPG also identifies other requirements for the policy including the need to
consider site specific factors such as vulnerability to flooding, site topography and
other circumstances; and that policies for wheelchair accessible homes should only
be applied to dwellings where the local authority is responsible for allocating or
nominating a person to live in that dwelling.
Policy 67: Development Viability (Strategic Policy)
Policy 67 is not considered to be sound as it is not consistent with national policy for
the following reasons:
The HBF considers that there may be some circumstances where this policy and the
use of trigger points can be utilised to bring forward the delivery of homes. However,
the HBF have significant concerns around the implementation of this policy and how
frequently it will be used. The use of trigger points could add further burdens to any
developer who will need to reproduce viability assessments at a potentially regular
basis, going against Government initiatives which are looking to reduce the need for
viability assessments. The HBF considers that this policy causes unnecessary
uncertainty and additional risk for developers, and that such disincentivising of
developers could become an impediment to the development process and
compromise the deliverability of large sites particularly those phased and
implemented over long time periods.
Future Engagement
I trust that the Council will find these comments useful as it continues to progress its
Local Plan. I would be happy to discuss these issues in greater detail or assist in
facilitating discussions with the wider house building industry.
The HBF would like to be kept informed of all forthcoming consultations upon the
Local Plan and associated documents. Please use the contact details provided below
for future correspondence.
