1. Introduction

1.1 This report presents a document focusing on housing capacity in the Chelmsford urban area (attached at Appendix 1), which officers propose to publish as part of the Local Plan evidence base.

1.2 The document is the result of a desktop study and site visits of brownfield land in Chelmsford urban area. It supplements the results of the Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA), first reported to Development Policy Committee in September 2015, following a Call for Sites, and updated at this Development Policy Committee (29 September 2016). Very few of those submitted sites were on brownfield land in the city centre and urban area.

1.3 The findings of the study were used to inform the Issues and Options consultation, where the potential for 2,500 new homes is shown as Location 1 (Chelmsford Urban Area) in each of the three Spatial Options, and will continue to inform the Preferred Options stage.

1.4 The document does not allocate sites for development but provides important information which will be used to help prepare the Preferred Options Local Plan.

2. Suitability assessment

2.1 Sites identified in the study were tested using the SLAA database, which the Council uses to assess whether sites are suitable, available and achievable for housing development.

2.2 In terms of assessment outputs, the categories for outputs are as follows:

Category 1 – Deliverable: Available now, suitable for development, achievable within 5 years, and viable

Category 2 – Developable: A reasonable prospect of development from 5 and 10 years

Category 3 – Non-developable: Not appropriate for residential development, unlikely to come forward within 10 years, or facing significant constraints

2.3 Housing capacity estimates produced through this database assessment were further tested by officers. In some cases the resulting capacities were higher than the database figure, due to opportunities including apartments, taller buildings and higher densities. The individual ‘Site Assessment Details’ sheets in Appendix 1 note where higher density is anticipated.

2.4 Density varies according to a number of factors including the type of development, number of bedrooms per unit, whether there are commercial units or undercroft parking at ground floor level, outdoor space, and storey heights of apartment buildings. Generally, houses are built at around 30-35 dwellings per hectare (dph) (e.g. Falcons Mead), mixed houses and apartments are higher at around 70 dph (e.g. Fairview, Writtle Road), then rising quickly for apartment only developments up to 160 dph or more - e.g. Lockside Marina at 160 dph; Victoria Court, New Street at 160 dph; Upper Chase, Writtle Road at 160 dph, City Park West (former ARU campus) at 193 dph.

4

2.5 The study assessed 51 sites, of which 26 are considered Category 1 - Deliverable or Category 2 - Developable. Capacity for these sites is estimated at a maximum of around 3,000 dwellings. This includes 11 brownfield sites which were submitted as part of the SLAA Call for Sites, to enable a total figure for all urban area sites to be calculated, whether submitted as part of the SLAA or identified by officers.

2.6 This does not necessarily mean that all the sites will be allocated for development, but they will help the Council to establish options for distribution of homes in the Preferred Options Local Plan. It is envisaged that a realistic figure for potential capacity for 2,500 new homes is carried forward to the Preferred Options Local Plan.

2.7 Category 3 – Non-developable sites amount to 25, due to reasons including unsuitability for housing, high value existing uses, or land assembly issues. The total number of additional units is estimated at just over 1,000, but for the reasons stated it is unlikely that these would come forward during the Local Plan period. These sites and the reasons for discounting them, appear at Page 73 of Appendix 1.

3. Next steps

3.1 The ‘Housing Capacity in Chelmsford Urban Area’ document will be published as part of the Local Plan evidence base.

3.2 Officers will continue to update the database as new information on site availability or clarity on site area and capacity emerges.

4. Conclusion

4.1 The assessment of housing capacity in the Chelmsford urban area supplements the SLAA and will aid the Council in developing a Preferred Options Local Plan.

HOUSING CAPACITY IN CHELMSFORD URBAN AREA

1 Introduction

1.1 This report supplements the results of a Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA) which were reported to the Development Policy Committee in September 2015 and September 2016.

1.2 The SLAA was prepared in response to the requirement of Paragraph 159 of the National Planning Policy Framework for local planning authorities to have a clear understanding of housing needs in their area.

1.3 The purpose of the SLAA is to identify land that may be suitable for development in the new Local Plan for the period to 2036. A Call for Sites took place in late 2014 to identify available land for all types of uses, to establish what land could potentially be made available in the future. A further opportunity was offered for site registration alongside the new Local Plan Issues and Options consultation in winter 2015/16.

1.4 The City Council wants to prioritise brownfield sites in the urban area for development, to minimise the amount of development on greenfield sites in the wider city area. However, very few of the sites submitted in the Call for Sites were on brownfield land in the urban area.

1.5 Council officers carried out a desktop study of brownfield land in the urban area, separate to the Call for Sites. This included a review of sites allocated in the Chelmsford Town Centre Area Action Plan (2008), site visits, and an examination of maps and planning history. Data was fed into the SLAA database to test whether identified sites are suitable, available and achievable. The outcomes of that study follow in this report.

1.6 This report does not allocate sites for development or grant planning permission, but it does provide important information which will be used to prepare the new Local Plan.

2 Sites assessment

2.1

2.2

Some of the sites identified are owned by Chelmsford City Council, or are sites where informal discussions have taken place on potential for development. However, many of the sites tested are not being promoted by the owner, but have been subject to the same objective assessment to help drive progress.

Housing capacity estimates were produced through the SLAA assessment database. Following that, individual sites were assessed with the housing capacity estimate as a baseline, to see whether higher capacities can be achieved. In many cases the capacities demonstrated by this site planning exercise were higher than the database figure, due to opportunities including taller buildings and higher densities. The individual ‘Site Assessment Details’ sheets note where higher density is anticipated.

4

2.3 Density varies according to a number of factors including the type of development, number of bedrooms per unit, whether there are commercial units or undercroft parking at ground floor level, outdoor space, and storey heights of apartment buildings.

2.4 Of the 51 sites in the study, 11 were SLAA sites. These were also reviewed, and in some cases capacity estimates were raised to take account of the potential for mitigation of constraints, and for higher density development.

2.5 The assessment database not only generates a potential capacity figure, but assesses sites on their suitability, availability, achievability, physical constraints, environmental impact, and compliance with existing planning policy.

2.6 In terms of assessment outputs, the categories for outputs are as follows: Category 1 – Deliverable: Available now, suitable for development,

achievable within 5 years, and viable Category 2 – Developable: A reasonable prospect of development from 5

and 10 years Category 3 – Non-developable: Not appropriate for residential

development, unlikely to come forward within 10 years, or facing significantconstraints

3 Outcomes

3.1 Of the 51 sites in the study, 26 are categorised as Category 1 or Category 2, and divided into SLAA and non-SLAA sites. The assessment of housing capacity shows that a maximum of 3,098 homes could be accommodated on these sites. This is summarised in Table 1 below. Individual site assessments are attached at Appendix 1. In addition a small number of brownfield sites were identified with a combined potential capacity of up to 14 units, which are not included in Table 1 due to their limited scope.

3.2

3.3

The remaining 25 of the 51 sites are not considered to be developable and are considered as Category 3. They have been rejected for a number of reasons including unsuitability for housing (but for commercial development instead), high value existing uses, difficulty with assembling land in multiple ownership, or other matters which would delay availability until after the plan period. These are listed on Page 73 of Appendix 1.

Identification of sites which are deliverable and/or developable does not mean that the sites will be allocated for development, but they will help the Council to establish what sites and land could be made available in the future, and will form part of the evidence base.

4 Next steps

4.1 The Council has written to owners of land and property which are not currently being promoted by the owner, to explain why sites have been assessed for their development potential and to gain further understanding of the possibility for sites coming forward for development in the future.

4.2 Officers will continue to update the database as new information on site availability or clarity on site area and capacity emerges.
