PDLP Allocations & DesignationsRepresentations received on the Kirklees Publication Draft Local Plan
reflect NPPF paragraphs 28 (supporting a prosperous rural economy), 74/76/77/78 (promoting healthy communities), 93/94/95/103 (meeting the challenge of climate change, flooding & coastal change), 109/110/111/113/114/115/116/117/118/119/120/123/124/125 (conserving and enhancing the natural environment), 126/128/129/130/131/132/133/134/135/141 (conserving & enhancing the historic environment).Return the site to the Green Belt. No change.Site H288a is allocated as Provisional Open Land (safeguarded land) in the Kirklees Unitary Development Plan and is proposed as a housing allocation in the Local Plan. The allocation of this site is consistent with the Local Plan site allocation methodology.In terms of impacts on the South Pennine Moor Special Protection Area,in combination effects on the Special Protection Area / Special Area of Conservation have been considered through the Kirklees Habitat Regulations Assessment (SD10). The Peak District National Park has been consulted on the Local Plan and no concerns have been raised in relation to site H288a.Historic England fully acknowledge that the selection of sites which have been put forward as allocations in the Local Plan have been arrived at following a series of evaluations by the council of the potential impacts that of all the sites might have upon the historic environment. Historic England endorse the process undertaken to arrive at the selection of sites included in the Local Plan and this has involved full consultation with, and considerable input from, Historic England throughout. Historic England have also confirmed that the Local Plan does not include any sites whose development will result in substantial harm to a designated heritage asset (and whose allocation, therefore, would be likely to conflict with national policy guidance).The Local Plan seeks to meet the housing needs of Kirklees and the Spatial Development Strategy set out in SD1 (Strategy and Policies, page 36) sets out that most growth will be met in the main urban areas of Huddersfield and Dewsbury and a more flexible approach elsewhere to achieve a sustainable pattern of development for in the district. This site has been assessed through the Sustainability Appraisal (SD5) and using information from the settlement appraisal (BP17) and is regarded as sustainable. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 102) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (sustainable travel).The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. Policy PLP 10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.There is a primary school in Hade Edge. The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan. Meetings have been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs. It is appropriate for the Local Plan process to consider the allocation of this land to assist in meeting the housing needs of Kirklees. The council has considered site options which have been submitted for consideration through the Local Plan process. This includes option H288a which was submitted to the council through the draft Local Plan public consultation.

This site adjoins the boundary of the Netherthong/Deanhouse Conservation Area. The loss of this currently‐open area and its subsequent development could harm elements which contribute to the significance of this area. By allocating this site for development, the Council is accepting that the principle of the loss of this currently‐open area and its subsequent development is acceptable. However, there has been no evaluation of what contribution this site makes to the character or appearance of the Conservation Area or what harm might result to those elements which contribute to the significance of this designated area by its eventual development.Paragraph 126 of the NPPF requires Local Plans to set out a positive strategy for the conservation and enjoyment of the historic environment. In addition, the Council has a statutory duty under the provisions of S72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act, 1990 to pay “special attention” to “the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance” of its Conservation Areas. The NPPF makes it clear that the significance of heritage assets, such as Conservation Areas, can be harmed through development within their setting.Before allocating this site for development an assessment needs to be undertaken of the contribution which this site makes to the elements which contribute towards the significance of the Conservation Area and what impact the loss of this undeveloped site and its subsequent development might have upon those significances.No change. This site has planning permission for residential development (planning application reference: 2016/93365, decision date: 17/02/17) therefore

the principle for the development of this site has been established.Historic England now fully acknowledge that the selection of sites which have been put forward as allocations in the Plan have been arrived at following a series of evaluations by the Council of the potential impacts that of all the sites might have upon the historic environment. Historic England endorse the process undertaken to arrive at the selection of sites included in the Plan and this has involved full consultation with, and considerable input from, Historic England throughout.

Local Plan is unsound in relation to the evidence base. Regarding this, there is support for the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group.The plan is unsound as it fails to adequately address NPPF paragraphs 17, 28, 30, 34, 38, 72, 76, 77, 55, 109, 157 therein. Regarding this, there is support for the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. H297, H597, SL3359 should be changed to Local Green Space.Delete H297 and H597 and designate H297, H597 and SL3359 as Local Green Space.As this response refers to support for the representation by Scholes Future Group, this issue is covered under their representations at PDLP_SP163, PDLP_AD475, PDLP_AD479, PDLP_AD951, PDLP_RSO266, PDLP_RSO269, PDLP_RSO271, PDLP_SA80.

Housing in this area is located away from employment opportunities.The size and density of the developments have no regard for the size, character, and setting of the village. Local highway infrastructure has long being acknowledged to be poor. Concerns regarding capacity of utilities. Development would exacerbate flooding in the area. Local schools are full. Loss of agricultural land. Impact on tourism.Impact on highways and character is contrary to policies set out in NPPF.
Remove the site from the planNo change. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.Although this site is currently open, it is not within the green belt and is therefore not subject to the consideration of openness as set out in national planning policy in relation to green belt. This site was designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan. This site has been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology and supporting evidence includes the Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal which provide up to date evidence indicating that this site is in a sustainable location. Site H297 has been accepted as a housing allocation as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process in accordance with Local Plan Policy PLP7 (SD, Strategy and Policies, page 47) once adopted which allows lower density development in certain circumstances.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. Policy PLP10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan.

been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs.At present there is no Neighbourhood Plan within this area to take into account in plan making. A Local Green Space option (LocGS2721) which covered the whole existing UDP Provisional Open Land site was rejected because when assessed against the Local Green Space criteria it is not demonstrably special and does not therefore merit designation as Local Green Space (see option LocGS2721). Further individual Local Green Space options have been created as a result of representations for the discrete areas of land covered by sites H297 (LocGS3449), H597 (LocGS3450) and SL3359 (LocGS3451) and these are set out in SD30 (New Site Options Report).The Housing Mix and Affordable Housing policy (Policy PLP 11) sets out the requirement for the mix and tenure of housing to be accommodated on sites and this will be in accordance with the latest available evidence. Factors relating to the design of the housing proposals must also be considered. The proposed housing mix for particular sites is not included within the Local Plan and will be determined at planning application stage.These sites were designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan and as such are within the Scholes settlement. The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.The playground referred to is located on Ryecroft Lane, between sites H297 and Sl3359. As such, it is not proposed to remove the playground as part of the Local Plan.Dobroyd Mills is situated within an accepted mixed use allocation (MX1912a) within the Publication Draft Local Plan. It has, therefore, been fully considered as part of the site allocation process.The Kirklees Local Plan contains policies which will help to ensure that the needs of the rural tourism industry are positively supported (Policy PLP 10, ‘Supporting the rural economy’) and that development is sensitively designed to respect and enhance the character of the townscape, heritage assets and landscape (Policy PLP 24, ‘Design’; Policy PLP 35, ‘Historic environment’). The core cycling and walking network (as shown on the Policies Map) will be safeguarded and extended (Policy PLP 23, ‘Core walking and cycling network’), thus protecting existing routes and providing further opportunities for leisure uses such as walking, cycling and horse riding. New proposals will be expected to integrate into the existing network by providing connecting links where appropriate.
Use brownfield sites first and use empty homes.Local Plan is unsound in relation to the evidence base. Regarding this, there is support for the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. Additional comments made relate to increased noise, air and light pollution, need to increase policing in the village, lack of recreation facilities, developments will not help biodiversity or geodiversity in the village, lack of gritting local roads, a Neighbourhood Plan should be prepared for the area.The plan is unsound as it fails to adequately address NPPF paragraphs 17, 28, 30, 34, 38, 72, 76, 77, 55, 109, 157 therein. Regarding this, there is support for the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. H297, H597, SL3359 should be changed to Local Green Space. Additional comments made relate to the site not being in conformity with NPPF paragraph 12 (core planning principles).Delete H297 and H597 and designate H297, H597 and SL3359 as Local Green Space.As this response refers to support for the representation by Scholes Future Group, this issue is covered under their representations at PDLP_SP163, PDLP_AD475, PDLP_AD479, PDLP_AD951, PDLP_RSO266, PDLP_RSO269, PDLP_RSO271, PDLP_SA80.In any housing market, there will be homes for sale as part of the normal operation of the housing market. This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas,

where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.The Publication Draft Local Plan recognises that high quality design is fundamental to making places more attractive, sustainable, safe and accessible. Policy PLP 24 seeks to ensure that good design is embedded into development proposals in Kirklees. The design of housing proposals will be discussed and determined at planning application stage.These sites were designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan and as such are within the Scholes settlement.

Scale of proposed development disproportionate to size of village. Reference to refused (housing) planning application 20 years ago. Other, more suitable, sites have not been allocated.

The proposed development at Dobroyd Mills (which will increase the number of new homes in the area) hasn’t been considered within the Local Plan.

The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.The proposed development at Dobroyd Mills (which will increase the number of new homes in the area) hasn’t been considered within the Local Plan.Dobroyd Mills is situated within an accepted mixed use allocation (MX1912a) within the Publication Draft Local Plan. It has, therefore, been fully considered as part of the site allocation process.The Local Plan favours North Kirklees over South Kirklees in terms of spending on infrastructure.The Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) for the Kirklees District supports the delivery of the Local Plan.

was designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan. This site has been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology and supporting evidence includes the Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal which provide up to date evidence indicating that this site is in a sustainable location. Site H297 has been accepted as a housing allocation as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process in accordance with Local Plan Policy PLP7 (SD, Strategy and Policies, page 47) once adopted which allows lower density development in certain circumstances.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. Policy PLP10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan. Meetings have been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs.At present there is no Neighbourhood Plan within this area to take into account in plan making. A Local Green Space option (LocGS2721) which covered the whole existing UDP Provisional Open Land site was rejected because when assessed against the Local Green Space criteria it is not demonstrably special and does not therefore merit designation as Local Green Space (see option LocGS2721). Further individual Local Green Space options have been created as a result of representations for the discrete areas of land covered by sites H297 (LocGS3449), H597 (LocGS3450) and SL3359 (LocGS3451) and these are set out in SD30 (New Site Options Report).There were no comments from specific technical consultees through the site allocations process in relation to impacts on Morton Wood Local Wildlife Site which is to the south‐east of Scholes village. Site H297 is to the west of the village.In any housing market, there will be homes for sale as part of the normal operation of the housing market. This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.

As such, it is not proposed to remove the playground as part of the Local Plan.The Kirklees Local Plan contains policies which will help to ensure that the needs of the rural tourism industry are positively supported (Policy PLP 10, ‘Supporting the rural economy’) and that development is sensitively designed to respect and enhance the character of the townscape, heritage assets and landscape (Policy PLP 24, ‘Design’; Policy PLP 35, ‘Historic environment’). The core cycling and walking network (as shown on the Policies Map) will be safeguarded and extended (Policy PLP 23, ‘Core walking and cycling network’), thus protecting existing routes and providing further opportunities for leisure uses such as walking, cycling and horse riding. New proposals will be expected to integrate into the existing network by providing connecting links where appropriateA quantified assessment of the potential impacts of new development and associated traffic is set out in the Kirklees Council Air Quality Assessment (document ref ‐ LE118). No objections were raised by Environmental Health in relation to this site option.

Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.The Local Plan has not taken into account the number of new homes that have been built in Scholes over the last 15 years.Full consideration of the likely impacts of the Local Plan’s strategy, policies and individual site allocations has been considered as part of the Sustainability Appraisal and a wider consideration of infrastructure planning impacts, such as schools, roads and other infrastructure – this is set out in the Local Plan evidence base. The council has considered all the relevant site options which have been submitted into the process in accordance with the published site selection methodology. The Local Plan promotes the re‐use of existing buildings and the use of brownfield land to meet development needs but also recognises that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements. The proposed number of homes for each allocation is indicative only and based on an efficient use of land required by national planning policy – the actual number of homes to be delivered on sites will be a matter for individual planning applications.

disproportionate to the size of the village.These sites were designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan and as such are within the Scholes settlement. The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.The council hasn’t fully considered possible alternative sites.Full consideration of the likely impacts of the Local Plan’s strategy, policies and individual site allocations has been considered as part of the Sustainability Appraisal and a wider consideration of infrastructure planning impacts, such as schools, roads and other infrastructure – this is set out in the Local Plan evidence base.

The plan is unsound as regards the evidence on which it is based. Supports the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. Building would be on a greenfield site. More housing in Scholes would result in the village becoming gridlocked, accidents inevitable and the infrastructure severely compromised. The village cannot cope with more traffic due to the narrowness of the main road through Scholes and existing driving and parking problems.The junction at the Boot and Shoe PH and adjacent area gets severely congested. St Georges Rd is very narrow and mostly has no pavement. Some of the area in Jackson Bridge is not paved and the hill that drops into Jackson Bridge causes driving difficulty when two vehicles are trying to pass. Paris is not paved and only passable by a single vehicle and Cinderhills Road is already hazardous due its narrowness. During snowfalls and ice in winter there are major parking and driving problems as owners leave their vehicles on the main roads and residents cannot access the developments at Ryfields, Whitewells, Wickledon Gate. More vehicles would be irresponsible. An increase of nearly 30% to the current housing would adversely impact on the village identity and rural character. Plans for 91 homes in the village twenty years ago was rejected on the grounds " it would be incompatible with the size, character and setting of Scholes ". Village services, such as drainage and the school, would become strained and there are no plans to improve the infrastructure or the school (which is already oversubscribed) for at least 15 years.The plan is unsound as it fails to reflect NPPF policies, specifically paragraphs 17, 28, 30, 34, 38, 72, 76, 77, 55, 109 and 157.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.Brownfield sites within Kirklees should be redeveloped before allocating greenfield sites for new housing.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.Brownfield sites within Kirklees should be redeveloped before allocating greenfield sites for housing.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.

In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.

The plan is intent on making the village a commuter suburb. The Plan has been developed to satisfy Central Government requirements without considering the impact the plan will make on the lives of future generations in our community. Consultations should be about obtaining the views of the people to help shape the solution not, as in this case, to ‘see if we have been non‐ compliant’.

No allowance has been made in the next 15 years for infrastructure improvements when sewers, electricity sub‐stations & roads are already overloaded. No provision is being made for green spaces – park areas for people assemble, walk & for children to play. There are serious restrictions on road access which become critical at busy times and particularly in bad weather.
Take a wholistic view of the long term future of the village.Considerably reduce the number & type of houses to be allowed.Make provision (i.e. place obligations on developers) for many usable green spaces.Improve roads, sewage, water, gas & electricity supplies throughout the villageIncrease school’s capacity in a long‐term meaningful manner.No change. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.Although this site is currently open, it is not within the green belt and is therefore not subject to the consideration of openness as set out in national planning policy in relation to green belt. This site was designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan. This site has been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology and supporting evidence includes the Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal which provide up to date evidence indicating that this site is in a sustainable location. Site H297 has been accepted as a housing allocation as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process in accordance with Local Plan Policy PLP7 (SD, Strategy and Policies, page 47) once adopted which allows lower density development in certain circumstances.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. Policy PLP10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan. Meetings have been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs.At present there is no Neighbourhood Plan within this area to take into account in plan making. A Local Green Space option (LocGS2721) which covered the whole existing UDP Provisional Open Land site was rejected because when assessed against the Local Green Space criteria it is not demonstrably special and does not therefore merit designation as Local Green Space (see option LocGS2721). Further individual Local Green Space options have been created as a result of representations for the discrete areas of land covered by sites H297 (LocGS3449), H597 (LocGS3450) and SL3359 (LocGS3451) and these are set out in SD30 (New Site Options Report).There were no comments from specific technical consultees through the site allocations process in relation to impacts on Morton Wood Local Wildlife Site which is to the south‐east of Scholes village. Site H297 is to the west of the village.The Publication Draft Local Plan recognises that high quality design is fundamental to making places more attractive, sustainable, safe and accessible. Policy PLP 24 seeks to ensure that good design is embedded into development proposals in Kirklees. The design of housing proposals will be discussed and determined at planning application stage.The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it consulted as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.All comments were considered as part of the pre‐submission process and published on the council’s website.

Disappointed that 'rural' areas are being included in the plan when there are sufficient brownfield sites around Kirklees. Do people want to live on the 'outskirts' of Holme Valley in sufficient numbers to fill these houses? Areas close to large towns & cities would be more desirable due to facilities, jobs etc. If this area is desirable, there are many brownfield sites that would be more suitable.

The plan is unsound as regards the evidence on which it is based. Supports the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. Please refer to their document reference: SFG Reps Kirklees PDLP Dec 2016. Amenities and facilities in this local area are just not adequate to cope with such a huge increase in population. Dunford road would be the main 'artery' route and is currently unable to cope at present. It is barely wide enough for on‐coming traffic due to parking and regularly blocks due to volume of traffic ‐ especially when 'incidents' on any other cross‐pennine routes (A628, M62 etc). Local school is not equipped or able to take more students with class sizes already over 30+ pupils.The plan is unsound as it fails to adequately to reflect NPPF policies, specifically paragraphs 17, 28, 30, 34, 38, 72, 76, 77, 55, 109, 157.
Delete H297 and H597 and designate H297, H597 and SL3359 as Local Green Space.As this response refers to support for the representation by Scholes Future Group, this issue is covered under their representations at PDLP_SP163, PDLP_AD475, PDLP_AD479, PDLP_AD951, PDLP_RSO266, PDLP_RSO269, PDLP_RSO271, PDLP_SA80.Additionally: Brownfield sites within Kirklees should be redeveloped before allocating greenfield sites for housing. The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through: the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.

In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.The empty homes in Kirklees should be filled before allocating greenfield sites for housing.In any housing market, there will be homes for sale as part of the normal operation of the housing market. This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.The proposed development at Dobroyd Mills (which will increase the number of new homes in the area) hasn’t been considered within the Local Plan.Dobroyd Mills is situated within an accepted mixed use allocation (MX1912a) within the Publication Draft Local Plan. It has, therefore, been fully considered as part of the site allocation process.

Council Response
It has not been possible in the time available to access the on‐line comments forms.
Over development will lead to a reduction in landscape value which is essential for physical, spiritual and natural refreshment.Development will have a negative impact on roads, transport, schools and health facilities etc which are already stretched. Local roads are steep and narrow with blind bends and therefore cannot cope with additional traffic.
New developments should include provision for adequate off road parking.No change. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.Although this site is currently open, it is not within the green belt and is therefore not subject to the consideration of openness as set out in national planning policy in relation to green belt. This site was designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan. This site has been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology and supporting evidence includes the Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal which provide up to date evidence indicating that this site is in a sustainable location. Site H297 has been accepted as a housing allocation as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process in accordance with Local Plan Policy PLP7 (SD, Strategy and Policies, page 47) once adopted which allows lower density development in certain circumstances.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. Policy PLP10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan. Meetings have been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs.At present there is no Neighbourhood Plan within this area to take into account in plan making. A Local Green Space option (LocGS2721) which covered the whole existing UDP Provisional Open Land site was rejected because when assessed against the Local Green Space criteria it is not demonstrably special and does not therefore merit designation as Local Green Space (see option LocGS2721). Further individual Local Green Space options have been created as a result of representations for the discrete areas of land covered by sites H297 (LocGS3449), H597 (LocGS3450) and SL3359 (LocGS3451) and these are set out in SD30 (New Site Options Report).There were no comments from specific technical consultees through the site allocations process in relation to impacts on Morton Wood Local Wildlife Site which is to the south‐east of Scholes village. Site H297 is to the west of the village.The Publication Draft Local Plan recognises that high quality design is fundamental to making places more attractive, sustainable, safe and accessible. Policy PLP 24 seeks to ensure that good design is embedded into development proposals in Kirklees. The design of housing proposals will be discussed and determined at planning application stage.

This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/sreas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.Both the former Midlothian garage site (residential) and land north of the old Drill Hall

This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.The Housing Mix and Affordable Housing policy (Policy PLP 11) sets out the requirement for the mix and tenure of housing to be accommodated on sites and this will be in accordance with the latest available evidence. Factors relating to the design of the housing proposals must also be considered.The proposed housing mix for particular sites is not included within the Local Plan and will be determined at planning application stage.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.

This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/sreas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.Empty homes should be used before greenfield sites are developed.In any housing market, there will be homes for sale as part of the normal operation of the housing market. This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.Brownfield sites should be used for housing before allocating greenfield sites.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield

Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes.

Factors relating to the design of the housing proposals must also be considered.The proposed housing mix for particular sites is not included within the Local Plan and will be determined at planning application stage.

The core cycling and walking network (as shown on the Policies Map) will be safeguarded and extended (Policy PLP 23, ‘Core walking and cycling network’), thus protecting existing routes and providing further opportunities for leisure uses such as walking, cycling and horse riding. New proposals will be expected to integrate into the existing network by providing connecting links where appropriate.

Housing allocation sites H288a will add significant numbers of cars to a very substandard road network in close proximity to Holmfirth High School where road safety is an issue. All the above allocations will impact on New Mill Junction where the A635 meets the A616. This junction should be a priority for improvement in the plan. This allocation will also impact on the number of school places available in the area.
Reduce the number of housing allocation sites (H and SL). That will spread the build over a longer period and reduce the immediate impact on school places. However, we feel it would still be necessary to include New Mill Junction as an improvement scheme in the Local Plan. No change. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.Although this site is currently open, it is not within the green belt and is therefore not subject to the consideration of openness as set out in national planning policy in relation to green belt. This site was designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan. This site has been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology and supporting evidence includes the Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal which provide up to date evidence indicating that this site is in a sustainable location. Site H297 has been accepted as a housing allocation as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process in accordance with Local Plan Policy PLP7 (SD, Strategy and Policies, page 47) once adopted which allows lower density development in certain circumstances.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. Policy PLP10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan. Meetings have been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs.At present there is no Neighbourhood Plan within this area to take into account in plan making. A Local Green Space option (LocGS2721) which covered the whole existing UDP Provisional Open Land site was rejected because when assessed against the Local Green Space criteria it is not demonstrably special and does not therefore merit designation as Local Green Space (see option LocGS2721). Further individual Local Green Space options have been created as a result of representations for the discrete areas of land covered by sites H297 (LocGS3449), H597 (LocGS3450) and SL3359 (LocGS3451) and these are set out in SD30 (New Site Options Report).There were no comments from specific technical consultees through the site allocations process in relation to impacts on Morton Wood Local Wildlife Site which is to the south‐east of Scholes village. Site H297 is to the west of the village.

The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL

This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average. The Publication Draft Local Plan recognises that high quality design is fundamental to making places more attractive, sustainable, safe and accessible. Policy PLP 24 seeks to ensure that good design is embedded into development proposals in Kirklees. The design of housing proposals will be discussed and determined at planning application stage.A quantified assessment of the potential impacts of new development and associated traffic is set out in the Kirklees Council Air Quality Assessment (document ref ‐ LE118). No objections were raised by Environmental Health in relation to this site option.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it consulted as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.All comments were considered as part of the pre‐submission process and published on the council’s website.

Building on H297 and H597 cannot be considered as sustainable development and does not accord with Local Plan Policy DLP7. Allocations fail to recognise the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside, protect the greenbelt, conserve historic landscape patterns and heritage assets in a manner appropriate to their significance. Development could not be designed to fit in with the existing settlement. Lack of local facilities leading to car travel to access facilities. Limited access to public transport. Road congestion due to cross‐valley movements and car parking issues in the village. The local school is full.
Delete allocation H297.No change. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.Although this site is currently open, it is not within the green belt and is therefore not subject to the consideration of openness as set out in national planning policy in relation to green belt. This site was designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan. This site has been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology and supporting evidence includes the Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal which provide up to date evidence indicating that this site is in a sustainable location. Site H297 has been accepted as a housing allocation as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process in accordance with Local Plan Policy PLP7 (SD, Strategy and Policies, page 47) once adopted which allows lower density development in certain circumstances.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school

places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. Policy PLP10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan. Meetings have been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs.At present there is no Neighbourhood Plan within this area to take into account in plan making. A Local Green Space option (LocGS2721) which covered the whole existing UDP Provisional Open Land site was rejected because when assessed against the Local Green Space criteria it is not demonstrably special and does not therefore merit designation as Local Green Space (see option LocGS2721). Further individual Local Green Space options have been created as a result of representations for the discrete areas of land covered by sites H297 (LocGS3449), H597 (LocGS3450) and SL3359 (LocGS3451) and these are set out in SD30 (New Site Options Report).The Publication Draft Local Plan recognises that high quality design is fundamental to making places more attractive, sustainable, safe and accessible. Policy PLP 24 seeks to ensure that good design is embedded into development proposals in Kirklees. The design of housing proposals will be discussed and determined at planning application stage.
The appeal inspector for the 1996 planning application on part of H597 (also to the west of Scholes) raised concerns the proposal was incompatible with the size of Scholes, elements of the scheme would be out of scale and character and impact on sense of openness. Disproportionate scale of development compared to the size of Scholes. The council have disregarded the weight of local, reasoned opposition. Lack of infrastructure to accommodate new developments (NPPF 157), no funding committed and timing of essential junction improvements in the IDP not consistent with site delivery timescales.Cumulative highway impacts of the number of allocations in the area. Inadequate local highways ‐ sub‐standard local access roads, lack of footways, parking problems and lack of width on main routes with evidence from Holmfirth/Meltham Local Plan (1987) provided. Congestion caused by commuting to work and school. Disagree with the sustainability appraisal for this site. Insufficient primary school places in Scholes and insufficient secondary school places in the area. Assumptions relating to school places are not consistent with DoE publications on national pupil projections. Flood risk / drainage concerns in relation to general sewerage and drainage infrastructure as also raised by Yorkshire Water in 1995.Loss of agricultural land which is linked to a prosperous rural economy (NPPF 28). Lack of infrastructure to accommodate new developments (NPPF 157), no funding committed and timing of essential junction improvements in the IDP not consistent with site delivery timescales. Lack of accessibility to local services and facilities within walking distance and steep walk from Holmfirth centre (primary school, health facilities, retail) (NPPF 17 / NPPF 38 / NPPF 72).

village. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process in accordance with Local Plan Policy PLP7 (SD, Strategy and Policies, page 47) once adopted which allows lower density development in certain circumstances.The Kirklees Local Plan contains policies which will help to ensure that the needs of the rural tourism industry are positively supported (Policy PLP 10, ‘Supporting the rural economy’) and that development is sensitively designed to respect and enhance the character of the townscape, heritage assets and landscape (Policy PLP 24, ‘Design’; Policy PLP 35, ‘Historic environment’). The core cycling and walking network (as shown on the Policies Map) will be safeguarded and extended (Policy PLP 23, ‘Core walking and cycling network’), thus protecting existing routes and providing further opportunities for leisure uses such as walking, cycling and horse riding. New proposals will be expected to integrate into the existing network by providing connecting links where appropriate.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. Policy PLP10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan. Meetings have been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs.At present there is no Neighbourhood Plan within this area to take into account in plan making. A Local Green Space option (LocGS2721) which covered the whole existing UDP Provisional Open Land site was rejected because when assessed against the Local Green Space criteria it is not demonstrably special and does not therefore merit designation as Local Green Space (see option LocGS2721). Further individual Local Green Space options have been created as a result of representations for the discrete areas of land covered by sites H297 (LocGS3449), H597 (LocGS3450) and SL3359 (LocGS3451) and these are set out in SD30 (New Site Options Report).There were no comments from specific technical consultees through the site allocations process in relation to impacts on Morton Wood Local Wildlife Site which is to the south‐east of Scholes village. Site H297 is to the west of the village.
I believe the Publication Draft is unsound as regards the evidence on which it is based, and its failure adequately to reflect NPPF policies specifically paragraphs 17, 28, 30, 34, 38, 72, 76, 77, 55, 109 and 157 therin.I wish the Local Plan to be changed such that all three sites are designated as Local Green Space.As this response refers to support for the representation by Scholes Future Group, this issue is covered under their representations at PDLP_SP163, PDLP_AD475, PDLP_AD479, PDLP_AD951, PDLP_RSO266, PDLP_RSO269, PDLP_RSO271, PDLP_SA80.

Development too large and will appear as a 'solid block', uncharacteristic of 'open' structured Pennine villages. Repeated 'Infill" has been a poor policy to date. Additional vehicles (+ 80?) on already poor roads will make traffic problems worse than they are. Roads are too narrow (no white lines), no footpaths for long sections, no "refuge" for pedestrians for long distances, vehicles larger than superminis have problems passing. Road junctions in New Mill and Holmfirth unfit for purpose and can't cope without major revision. No further construction until infrastructure improved in the Holme valley. Despite very extensive development in the Holme valley over the last 40 years, the road system remains unimproved over the same time period. It is unrealistic and unsustainable to continue in this way. There is nothing "sustainable" about queues of traffic burning fuel, standing still at inadequate junctions.
Reduce area, and add another area ‐ or better ‐ other smaller areas in the general vicinity to reduce "Ghetto" appearance.Consider developing new hamlets or villages at cross roads of main roads, or near railway lines, particularly where woodlands in the general area to partially conceal buildings. The last housing

Problematic roads ‐ we live on Paris road and our properties walls against the road are continually being damage by road users (photos can be sent if required) the latest incident has completely knocked down the walls. There are continual problems near the shop/pub with parking making the road only wide enough for one vehicle. In short the road infrastructure around Scholes is not suitable for any more traffic.

part of the normal operation of the housing market. This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/sreas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.The council hasn’t fully considered possible alternative sites.Full consideration of the likely impacts of the Local Plan’s strategy, policies and individual site allocations has been considered as part of the Sustainability Appraisal and a wider consideration of infrastructure planning impacts, such as schools, roads and other infrastructure – this is set out in the Local Plan evidence base. The council has considered all the relevant site options which have been submitted into the process in accordance with the published site selection methodology.

Housing allocation sites H288a will add significant numbers of cars to a very substandard road network in close proximity to Holmfirth High School where road safety is an issue. All the above allocations will impact on New Mill Junction where the A635 meets the A616. This junction should be a priority for improvement in the plan. This allocation will also impact on the number of school places available in the area.
Reduce the number of housing allocation sites (H and SL). That will spread the build over a longer period and reduce the immediate impact on school places. However, we feel it would still be necessary to include New Mill Junction as an improvement scheme in the Local Plan. No change. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements. Although this site is currently open, it is not within the green belt and is therefore not subject to the consideration of openness as set out in national planning policy in relation to green belt. This site was designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan. This site has been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology and supporting evidence includes the Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal which provide up to date evidence indicating that this site is in a sustainable location. Site SL3359 has been accepted as a safeguarded land option as part of the approach of planning positively for future development beyond the Local Plan period. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through a review of the Local Plan. The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that although the site cannot currently be directly accessed, the wider local highway links are acceptable. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy

and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel). The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth and this will be considered for safeguarded land sites as part of a future Local Plan review. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. . Policy PLP10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan. Meetings have been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs. At present there is no Neighbourhood Plan within this area to take into account in plan making. A Local Green Space option (LocGS2721) which covered the whole existing UDP Provisional Open Land site was rejected because when assessed against the Local Green Space criteria it is not demonstrably special and does not therefore merit designation as Local Green Space (see option LocGS2721). Further individual Local Green Space options have been created as a result of representations for the discrete areas of land covered by sites H297 (LocGS3449), H597 (LocGS3450) and SL3359 (LocGS3451). There were no comments from specific technical consultees through the site allocations process in relation to impacts on Morton Wood Local Wildlife Site which is to the south‐east of Scholes village. Site SL3359 is to the west of the village.
Housing allocation sites H288a will add significant numbers of cars to a very substandard road network in close proximity to Holmfirth High School where road safety is an issue. All the above allocations will impact on New Mill Junction where the A635 meets the A616. This junction should be a priority for improvement in the plan. This allocation will also impact on the number of school places available in the area.
Reduce the number of housing allocation sites (H and SL). That will spread the build over a longer period and reduce the immediate impact on school places. However, we feel it would still be necessary to include New Mill Junction as an improvement scheme in the Local Plan. No change. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements. Although this site is currently open, it is not within the green belt and is therefore not subject to the consideration of openness as set out in national planning policy in relation to green belt. This site was designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan. This site has been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology and supporting evidence includes the Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal which provide up to date evidence indicating that this site is in a sustainable location. Site SL3359 has been accepted as a safeguarded land option as part of the approach of planning positively for future development beyond the Local Plan period. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through a review of the Local Plan. The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that although the site cannot currently be directly accessed, the wider local highway links are acceptable. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel). The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth and this will be considered for safeguarded land sites as part of a future Local Plan review. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. . Policy PLP10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan. Meetings have been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs. At present there is no Neighbourhood Plan within this area to take into account in plan making. A Local Green Space option (LocGS2721) which covered the whole existing UDP Provisional Open Land

site was rejected because when assessed against the Local Green Space criteria it is not demonstrably special and does not therefore merit designation as Local Green Space (see option LocGS2721). Further individual Local Green Space options have been created as a result of representations for the discrete areas of land covered by sites H297 (LocGS3449), H597 (LocGS3450) and SL3359 (LocGS3451). There were no comments from specific technical consultees through the site allocations process in relation to impacts on Morton Wood Local Wildlife Site which is to the south‐east of Scholes village. Site SL3359 is to the west of the village.

Empty homes within Kirklees should be filled before allocating greenfield sites for housing. Brownfield sites should be redeveloped before allocating greenfield sites for housing. Scale of proposed development is disproportionate to the size of the village. Other, more suitable, sites have not been fully considered by the council. Part of the proposed development site was refused planning permission for homes in 1995. The proposed development at Dobroyd Mills (which will increase the number of new homes in the area) hasn’t been considered within the Local Plan. The council has made it difficult to comment on proposals and has acted against the will of the people.Local Plan is unsound in relation to the evidence base.

This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.Brownfield sites should be redeveloped before allocating greenfield sites for housing.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.Other, more suitable, sites have not been fully considered by the council.Full consideration of the likely impacts of the Local Plan’s strategy, policies and individual site allocations has been considered as part of the Sustainability Appraisal and a wider consideration of infrastructure planning impacts, such as schools, roads and other infrastructure – this is set out in the Local Plan evidence base. The council has considered all the relevant site options which have been submitted into the process in accordance with the published site selection methodology. The Local Plan promotes the re‐use of existing buildings and the use of brownfield land to meet development needs but also recognises that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements. The proposed number of homes for each allocation is indicative only and based on an efficient use of land required by national planning policy – the actual number of homes to be delivered on sites will be a matter for individual planning applications.Reference to historic refused planning application [94/62/94132/W3?]Proposed allocations and planning applications are assessed against current national planning policy.The proposed number of homes for each allocation is indicative only and based on an efficient use of land required by national planning policy – the actual number of homes to be delivered on sites will be a matter for individual planning applications.The proposed development at Dobroyd Mills (which will increase the number of new homes in the area) hasn’t been considered within the Local Plan.Dobroyd Mills is situated within an accepted mixed use allocation (MX1912a) within the Publication Draft Local Plan.

Objection to H297 relates to a number of factors which renders Scholes unsuitable for these houses: access roads are barely adequate for the current population; there is little or no capacity in Scholes Junior School nor in Holmfirth High School; and this development will involve a long and short term negative impact on quality of life for existing residents.The plan is unsound as it fails to adequately address NPPF paragraphs 17, 28, 30, 34, 38, 72, 76, 77, 55, 109, 157 therein.

Housing in this area is located away from employment opportunities.The size and density of the developments have no regard for the size, character, and setting of the village. Local highway infrastructure has long being acknowledged to be poor. Concerns regarding capacity of utilities. Development would exacerbate flooding in the area. Local schools are full. Loss of agricultural land. Impact on tourism.Impact on highways and character is contrary to policies set out in NPPF.

The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.Although this site is currently open, it is not within the green belt and is therefore not subject to the consideration of openness as set out in national planning policy in relation to green belt.

Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible.

It has, therefore, been fully considered as part of the site allocation process.The Kirklees Local Plan contains policies which will help to ensure that the needs of the rural tourism industry are positively supported (Policy PLP 10, ‘Supporting the rural economy’) and that development is sensitively designed to respect and enhance the character of the townscape, heritage assets and landscape (Policy PLP 24, ‘Design’; Policy PLP 35, ‘Historic environment’). The core cycling and walking network (as shown on the Policies Map) will be safeguarded and extended (Policy PLP 23, ‘Core walking and cycling network’), thus protecting existing routes and providing further opportunities for leisure uses such as walking, cycling and horse riding. New proposals will be expected to integrate into the existing network by providing connecting links where appropriate.
Use brownfield sites first and use empty homes.Local Plan is unsound in relation to the evidence base. Regarding this, there is support for the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. Additional comments made relate to increased noise, air and light pollution, need to increase policing in the village, lack of recreation facilities, developments will not help biodiversity or geodiversity in the village, lack of gritting local roads, a Neighbourhood Plan should be prepared for the area. Specific comments made on planning application 2016/90864 (now withdrawn) for 4 dwellings on part of H297 in relation to housing types, layout and constraints.The plan is unsound as it fails to adequately address NPPF paragraphs 17, 28, 30, 34, 38, 72, 76, 77, 55, 109, 157 therein. Regarding this, there is support for the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. H297, H597, SL3359 should be changed to Local Green Space. Additional comments made relate to the site not being in conformity with NPPF paragraph 12 (core planning principles).Delete H297 and H597 and designate H297, H597 and SL3359 as Local Green Space.As this response refers to support for the representation by Scholes Future Group, this issue is covered under their representations at PDLP_SP163, PDLP_AD475, PDLP_AD479, PDLP_AD951, PDLP_RSO266, PDLP_RSO269, PDLP_RSO271, PDLP_SA80.In any housing market, there will be homes for sale as part of the normal operation of the housing market. This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.The Publication Draft Local Plan recognises that high quality design is fundamental to making places more attractive, sustainable, safe and accessible. Policy PLP 24 seeks to ensure that good design is embedded into development proposals in Kirklees. The design of housing proposals will be discussed and determined at planning application stage.These sites were designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan and as such are within the Scholes settlement. The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site

capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.A quantified assessment of the potential impacts of new development and associated traffic is set out in the Kirklees Council Air Quality Assessment (document ref ‐ LE118). No objections were raised by Environmental Health in relation to this site option.
Sandygate Farm to the north of this site is a Grade II Listed Building. The loss of this currently‐open area and its subsequent development could harm elements which contribute to its significance. By allocating this site for development, the Council is accepting that the principle of the loss of this currently‐open area and its subsequent development is acceptable. However, there has been no evaluation of what contribution this site makes to the special architectural or historic interest or setting of the Listed Building or what harm might result to those elements which contribute to its significance by its eventual development.Paragraph 126 of the NPPF requires Local Plans to set out a positive strategy for the conservation and enjoyment of the historic environment. In addition, there is a requirement under S66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act that “special regard” should be had to the desirability of preserving Listed Buildings or their setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess. Although this requirement only relates to the determination of planning applications, failure to take account of this requirement at this stage may mean that, when a Planning Application is eventually submitted for this area, even though a site is allocated for development in the Local Plan, the need to pay special regard to the desirability of preserving this Listed Building or its setting may mean that, either, the anticipated quantum of development is undeliverable or the site cannot actually capable of being developed.Before allocating this site for development an assessment needs to be undertaken of the contribution which this site makes to those elements which contribute towards the significance of this Listed Building and what impact the loss of this undeveloped site and its subsequent development might have upon its significance.No change. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.Site H597 has a completed Heritage
Impact Assessment. Correspondence within BP28 (dated 24 th February 2017) clarifies Historic England’s current posi on with respect to these earlier comments, specifically that Historic England no longer consider that there has been no evaluation of the impact of any of the sites upon the historic environment. Historic England now fully acknowledge that the selection of sites which have been put forward as allocations in the Local Plan have been arrived at following a series of evaluations by the Council of the potential impacts that of all the sites might have upon the historic environment. Historic England endorse the process undertaken to arrive at the selection of sites included in the Local Plan and this has involved full consultation with, and considerable input from, Historic England throughout. Historic England have also confirmed that the Local Plan does not include any sites whose development will result in substantial harm to a designated heritage asset (and whose allocation, therefore, would be likely to conflict with national policy guidance).

Full consideration of the likely impacts of the Local Plan’s strategy, policies and individual site allocations has been considered as part of the Sustainability Appraisal and a wider consideration of infrastructure planning impacts, such as schools, roads and other infrastructure – this is set out in the Local Plan evidence base. The council has considered all the relevant site options which have been submitted into the process in accordance with the published site selection methodology.

The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.The proposed development at Dobroyd Mills (which will increase the number of new homes in the area) hasn’t been considered within the Local Plan.

The analysis and conclusions within the IDP assess the suitability of infrastructure provision and the extent to which existing infrastructure will be ‘fit for purpose’ against the land requirements to deliver objectively assessed housing and employment needs. Significant infrastructure improvements are proposed within North Kirklees to support the anticipated growth in this area.The council has made it difficult for residents to comment on the proposals and has acted against the will of the people. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it consulted as part of the development of the Local Plan.

‐There are 8,500 empty homes in Huddersfield ‐ these properties should be used before greenfield/green belt land is used. ‐Brownfield sites should be used first and greenbelt when there is absolutely no alternative.‐ Generation of at least 300+ cars and associated traffic. ‐ No visitor parking. ‐ All 7 roads into Scholes Village have safety issues. ‐ The roads around Scholes are already congested, due to them being too narrow. ‐ Difficult for emergency vehicles to get through. ‐ There is no access to trains, therefore there will be a need for extra buses and use of cars. ‐ There are limited employment opportunities in the area. ‐ The extra housing will constitute a 25% increase in the size of the village. ‐ There are other areas that are far more suitable for development. ‐ Grazing land will be lost. ‐ Wildlife habitats will be lost. ‐ Noise, pollution and traffic detrimental to Local Wildlife Sites. ‐ Open aspect of the village will be lost. ‐ Visual impact of the proposed development, not in keeping with the character of Scholes. ‐ Impact on schools, dentists and GP's. ‐ Can the drainage systems cope? ‐ Will the children's play area on Ryecroft Lane be lost?
No change. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.Although this site is currently open, it is not within the green belt and is therefore not subject to the consideration of openness as set out in national planning policy in relation to green belt. This site was designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan. This site has been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology and supporting evidence includes the Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal which provide up to date evidence indicating that this site is in a sustainable location. Site H297 has been accepted as a housing allocation as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process in accordance with Local Plan Policy PLP7 (SD, Strategy and Policies, page 47) once adopted which allows lower density development in certain circumstances.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. Policy PLP10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan. Meetings have been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs.At present there is no Neighbourhood Plan within this area to take into account in plan making. A Local Green Space option (LocGS2721) which covered the whole existing UDP Provisional Open Land site was rejected because when assessed against the Local Green Space criteria it is not demonstrably special and does not therefore merit designation as Local Green Space (see option LocGS2721). Further individual Local Green Space options have been created as a result of representations for the discrete areas of land covered by sites H297 (LocGS3449), H597 (LocGS3450) and SL3359 (LocGS3451) and these are set out in SD30 (New Site Options Report).There were no comments from specific technical consultees through the site allocations process in

As such, it is not proposed to remove the playground as part of the Local Plan.The Kirklees Local Plan contains policies which will help to ensure that the needs of the rural tourism industry are positively supported (Policy PLP 10, ‘Supporting the rural economy’) and that development is sensitively designed to respect and enhance the character of the townscape, heritage assets and landscape (Policy PLP 24, ‘Design’; Policy PLP 35, ‘Historic environment’). The core cycling and walking network (as shown on the Policies Map) will be safeguarded and extended (Policy PLP 23, ‘Core walking and cycling network’), thus protecting existing routes and providing further opportunities for leisure uses such as walking, cycling and horse riding. New proposals will be expected to integrate into the existing network by providing connecting links where appropriate.A quantified assessment of the potential impacts of new development and associated traffic is set out in the Kirklees Council Air Quality Assessment (document ref ‐ LE118). No objections were raised by Environmental Health in relation to this site option.

The council has considered all the relevant site options which have been submitted into the process in accordance with the published site selection methodology. The Local Plan promotes the re‐use of existing buildings and the use of brownfield land to meet development needs but also recognises that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements. The proposed number of homes for each allocation is indicative only and based on an efficient use of land required by national planning policy – the actual number of homes to be delivered on sites will be a matter for individual planning applications.

The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/sreas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.Housing mixThe Publication Draft Local Plan (paragraph 8.29) recognises that 'it is important to achieve a mix of housing in terms of size, type, tenure and suitability for specific groups of people to contribute to meeting local needs and contribute to sustainable development in accordance with national planning policy'.The housing mix for a particular site will be determined at planning application stage, with reference to Policy PLP 11 Housing Mix and Affordable Housing of the Local Plan.

The plan is unsound as regards the evidence on which it is based. Supports the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. Building would be on a greenfield site. More housing in Scholes would result in the village becoming gridlocked, accidents inevitable and the infrastructure severely compromised. The village cannot cope with more traffic due to the narrowness of the main road through Scholes and existing driving and parking problems. The junction at the Boot and Shoe PH and adjacent area gets severely congested. St Georges Rd is very narrow and mostly has no pavement. Some of the area in Jackson Bridge is not paved and the hill that drops into Jackson Bridge causes driving difficulty when two vehicles are trying to pass. Paris is not paved and only passable by a single vehicle and Cinderhills Road is already hazardous due its narrowness. During snowfalls and ice in winter there are major parking and driving problems as owners leave their vehicles on the main roads and residents cannot access the developments at Ryfields, Whitewells, Wickledon Gate. More vehicles would be irresponsible. An increase of nearly 30% to the current housing would adversely impact on the village identity and rural character. Plans for 91 homes in the village twenty years ago was rejected on the grounds " it would be incompatible with the size, character and setting of Scholes ". Village services, such as drainage and the school, would become strained and there are no plans to improve the infrastructure or the school (which is already oversubscribed) for at least 15 years.The plan is unsound as its fails to reflect NPPF policies, specifically paragraphs 17, 28, 30, 34, 38, 72, 76, 77, 55, 109 and 157.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.

Disappointed that 'rural' areas are being included in the plan when there are sufficient brownfield sites around Kirklees. Do people want to live on the 'outskirts' of Holme Valley in sufficient numbers to fill these houses? Areas close to large towns & cities would be more desirable due to facilities, jobs etc. If this area is desirable, there are many brownfield sites that would be more suitable.The plan is unsound as regards the evidence on which it is based. Supports the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. Please refer to their document reference: SFG Reps Kirklees PDLP Dec 2016. Amenities and facilities in this local area are just not adequate to cope with such a huge increase in population. Dunford road would be the main 'artery' route and is currently unable to cope at present. It is barely wide enough for on‐coming traffic due to parking and regularly blocks due to volume of traffic ‐ especially when 'incidents' on any other cross‐pennine routes (A628, M62 etc). Local school is not equipped or able to take more students with class sizes already over 30+ pupils.The plan is unsound as it fails to adequately to reflect NPPF policies, specifically paragraphs 17, 28, 30, 34, 38, 72, 76, 77, 55, 109, 157.

The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.

The scale of this development is detrimental to the green belt and the rural nature of Scholes village. The narrow roads used to access it from New Mill / Holmfirth could not readily cope with the increased traffic and the utilities are insufficient for the existing housing (sewerage problems etc. occur now). In addition, Scholes school would need to receive more resources to accommodate the increase in school children. A development of this size would have a large impact on the character of the area and damage the rural nature of the area with its small distinct villages and attractive countryside.The scale of this development is detrimental to the green belt and the rural nature of Scholes village.

A development of this size would have a large impact on the character of the area and damage the rural nature of the area with its small distinct villages and attractive countryside.
A reduction in the scale of the development to provide incremental growth to a historic settlement rather than expanding housing provision by creating a 'suburban' style estate which will destroy the character of Scholes.
No change. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.Although this site is currently open, it is not within the green belt and is therefore not subject to the consideration of openness as set out in national planning policy in relation to green belt. This site was designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan. This site has been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology and supporting evidence includes the Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal which provide up to date evidence indicating that this site is in a sustainable location. Site H597 has been accepted as a housing allocation as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process in accordance with Local Plan Policy PLP7 (SD, Strategy and Policies, page 47) once adopted which allows lower density development in certain circumstances.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.These sites were designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan and as such are within the Scholes settlement. The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.

The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/sreas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.

Scale of proposed development is disproportionate to the size of the village. Empty homes within Kirklees should be used before allocating greenfield sites.Local Plan is unsound in relation to the evidence base. Regarding this, there is support for the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. Additionally: The redevelopment of Dobroyd Mills (which will increase the number of new homes in the area) has not been considered within the Local Plan.The plan is unsound as it fails to adequately address NPPF paragraphs 17, 28, 30, 34, 38, 72, 76, 77, 55, 109, 157 therein.

In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.The empty homes in Kirklees should be filled before allocating greenfield sites for housing.In any housing market, there will be homes for sale as part of the normal operation of the housing market. This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.The proposed development at Dobroyd Mills (which will increase the number of new homes in the area) hasn’t been considered within the Local Plan.Dobroyd Mills is situated within an accepted mixed use allocation (MX1912a) within the Publication Draft Local Plan. It has, therefore, been fully considered as part of the site allocation process.

Over development will lead to a reduction in landscape value which is essential for physical, spiritual and natural refreshment.Development will have a negative impact on roads, transport, schools and health facilities etc which are already stretched. Local roads are steep and narrow with blind bends and therefore cannot cope with additional traffic.
New developments should include provision for adequate off road parking.No change The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the

Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.Although this site is currently open, it is not within the green belt and is therefore not subject to the consideration of openness as set out in national planning policy in relation to green belt. This site was designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan. This site has been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology and supporting evidence includes the Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal which provide up to date evidence indicating that this site is in a sustainable location. Site H297 has been accepted as a housing allocation as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process in accordance with Local Plan Policy PLP7 (SD, Strategy and Policies, page 47) once adopted which allows lower density development in certain circumstances.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. Policy PLP10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan. Meetings have been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs.At present there is no Neighbourhood Plan within this area to take into account in plan making. A Local Green Space option (LocGS2721) which covered the whole existing UDP Provisional Open Land site was rejected because when assessed against the Local Green Space criteria it is not demonstrably special and does not therefore merit designation as Local Green Space (see option LocGS2721). Further individual Local Green Space options have been created as a result of representations for the discrete areas of land covered by sites H297 (LocGS3449), H597 (LocGS3450) and SL3359 (LocGS3451) and these are set out in SD30 (New Site Options Report).There were no comments from specific technical consultees through the site allocations process in relation to impacts on Morton Wood Local Wildlife Site which is to the south‐east of Scholes village. Site H297 is to the west of the village.The Publication Draft Local Plan recognises that high quality design is fundamental to making places more attractive, sustainable, safe and accessible. Policy PLP 24 seeks to ensure that good design is embedded into development proposals in Kirklees. The design of housing proposals will be discussed and determined at planning application stage.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.

Green sites should not be built on when there are more than 2,500 empty houses in Kirklees. Develop at the Midlothian Garage and Huddersfield Road (next to the old Drill Hall) brownfield sites first.Local Plan is unsound in relation to the evidence base. Regarding this, there is support for the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group.The plan is unsound as it fails to adequately address NPPF paragraphs 17, 28, 30, 34, 38, 72, 76, 77, 55, 109, 157 therein. Regarding this, there is support for the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. H297, H597, SL3359 should be changed to Local Green Space.Delete H297 and H597 and designate H297, H597 and SL3359 as Local Green Space.As this response refers to support for the representation by Scholes Future Group, this issue is covered under their representations at PDLP_SP163, PDLP_AD475, PDLP_AD479, PDLP_AD951, PDLP_RSO266, PDLP_RSO269, PDLP_RSO271, PDLP_SA80.In any housing market, there will be homes for sale as part of the normal operation of the housing market. This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/sreas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. Both the former Midlothian garage site (residential) and land north of the old Drill Hall (employment) already have permission for development.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.

Scale of proposed development is disproportionate to the size of the village. Empty homes in Kirklees should be filled before allocating greenfield sites for housing. Brownfield sites within Kirklees should be redeveloped before allocating greenfield sites for housing.

In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.Empty homes in Kirklees should be filled before allocating greenfield sites for housing.In any housing market, there will be homes for sale as part of the normal operation of the housing market. This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.Brownfield sites within Kirklees should be redeveloped before allocating greenfield sites for housing.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs.

The council has considered all the relevant site options which have been submitted into the process in accordance with the published site selection methodology. The Local Plan promotes the re‐use of existing buildings and the use of brownfield land to meet development needs but also recognises that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements. The proposed number of homes for each allocation is indicative only and based on an efficient use of land required by national planning policy – the actual number of homes to be delivered on sites will be a matter for individual planning applications.Empty properties within Kirklees should be used before allocating greenfield sites.In any housing market, there will be homes for sale as part of the normal operation of the housing market. This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.The proposed development of Dobroyd Mills (which will increase the number of new homes in the area) hasn't been considered in the Local Plan.Dobroyd Mills is situated within an accepted mixed use allocation (MX1912a) within the Publication Draft Local Plan. It has, therefore, been fully considered as part of the site allocation process.The council has acted against the will of the people and has made it difficult to comment on proposals.The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it consulted as part of the development of the Local Plan.

Factors relating to the design of the housing proposals must also be considered.The proposed housing mix for particular sites is not included within the Local Plan and will be determined at planning application stage.

Housing allocation sites H288a will add significant numbers of cars to a very substandard road network in close proximity to Holmfirth High School where road safety is an issue. All the above allocations will impact on New Mill Junction where the A635 meets the A616. This junction should be a priority for improvement in the plan. This allocation will also impact on the number of school places available in the area.
Reduce the number of housing allocation sites (H and SL). That will spread the build over a longer period and reduce the immediate impact on school places. However, we feel it would still be necessary to include New Mill Junction as an improvement scheme in the Local Plan. No change. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.Although this site is currently open, it is not within the green belt and is therefore not subject to the consideration of openness as set out in national planning policy in relation to green belt. This site was designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan. This site has been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology and supporting evidence includes the Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal which provide up to date evidence indicating that this site is in a sustainable location. Site H597 has been accepted as a housing allocation as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process in accordance with Local

Plan Policy PLP7 (SD, Strategy and Policies, page 47) once adopted which allows lower density development in certain circumstances.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. Policy PLP10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan. Meetings have been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs.At present there is no Neighbourhood Plan within this area to take into account in plan making. A Local Green Space option (LocGS2721) which covered the whole existing UDP Provisional Open Land site was rejected because when assessed against the Local Green Space criteria it is not demonstrably special and does not therefore merit designation as Local Green Space (see option LocGS2721). Further individual Local Green Space options have been created as a result of representations for the discrete areas of land covered by sites H297 (LocGS3449), H597 (LocGS3450) and SL3359 (LocGS3451) and these are set out in SD30 (New Site Options Report).

Regarding this, there is support for the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. Additional comments made relate to increased noise, air and light pollution, need to increase policing in the village, lack of recreation facilities, developments will not help biodiversity or geodiversity in the village, lack of gritting local roads, a Neighbourhood Plan should be prepared for the area. Specific comments made on planning application 2016/90864 (now withdrawn) for 4 dwellings on part of H297 in relation to housing types, layout and constraints.The plan is unsound as it fails to adequately address NPPF paragraphs 17, 28, 30, 34, 38, 72, 76, 77, 55, 109, 157 therein. Regarding this, there is support for the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. H297, H597, SL3359 should be changed to Local Green Space. Additional comments made relate to the site not being in conformity with NPPF paragraph 12 (core planning principles).Delete H297 and H597 and designate H297, H597 and SL3359 as Local Green Space.As this response refers to support for the representation by Scholes Future Group, this issue is covered under their representations at PDLP_SP163, PDLP_AD475, PDLP_AD479, PDLP_AD951, PDLP_RSO266, PDLP_RSO269, PDLP_RSO271, PDLP_SA80.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure. In any housing market, there will be homes for sale as part of the normal operation of the housing market. This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.The Publication Draft Local Plan recognises that high quality design is fundamental to making places more attractive, sustainable, safe and accessible. Policy PLP 24 seeks to ensure that good design is embedded into development proposals in Kirklees. The design of housing proposals will be discussed and determined at planning application stage.A quantified assessment of the potential impacts of new development and associated traffic is set out in the Kirklees Council Air Quality Assessment (document ref ‐ LE118). No objections were raised by Environmental Health in relation to this site option.

Scale of proposed development is disproportionate to the size of the village. The council is not acting on behalf of the local community.Local Plan is unsound in relation to the evidence base.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it consulted as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.All comments were considered as part of the pre‐submission process and published on the council’s website.

Disproportionate scale of development for the size of Scholes. Empty homes should be used before greenfield sites are developed. Brownfield sites should be used for housing before allocating greenfield sites. The council has acted against the will of the people and has made it difficult to comment on proposed sites.Local Plan is unsound in relation to the evidence base. Regarding this, there is support for the detailed representations being made by Scholes Future Group. Additionally: The redevelopment of Dobroyd Mills (which will increase the quantity of new homes in the area) has not been considered within the Local Plan.
Delete H297 and H597 and designate H297, H597 and SL3359 as Local Green Space.As this response refers to support for the representation by Scholes Future Group, this issue is covered under their representations at PDLP_SP163, PDLP_AD475, PDLP_AD479, PDLP_AD951, PDLP_RSO266, PDLP_RSO269, PDLP_RSO271, PDLP_SA80.Additionally:Disproportionate scale of development for the size of Scholes. These sites were designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan and as such are within the Scholes settlement. The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.Empty homes should be used before greenfield sites are developed. In any housing market, there will be homes for sale as part of the normal operation of the housing market. This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.Brownfield sites should be used for housing before allocating greenfield sites. The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas, where appropriate;the potential

Building on H297 and H597 cannot be considered as sustainable development and does not accord with Local Plan Policy DLP7. Allocations fail to recognise the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside, protect the greenbelt, conserve historic landscape patterns and heritage assets in a manner appropriate to their significance. Development could not be designed to fit in with the existing settlement. Lack of local facilities leading to car travel to access facilities. Limited access to public transport. Road congestion due to cross‐valley movements and car parking issues in the village. The local school is full.
Reduce the size of Site H597 to a much smaller area around the junction of Sandygate & Scholes Moor Road that could fit within the existing built form of the village.No change. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.Although this site is currently open, it is not within the green belt and is therefore not subject to the consideration of openness as set out in national planning policy in relation to green belt.

was designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan. This site has been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology and supporting evidence includes the Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal which provide up to date evidence indicating that this site is in a sustainable location. Site H297 has been accepted as a housing allocation as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative only and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process in accordance with Local Plan Policy PLP7 (SD, Strategy and Policies, page 47) once adopted which allows lower density development in certain circumstances.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Greenfield run‐off rates will be required to manage surface water from this site in accordance with the local plan policies once adopted.The plan has identified a range of sites to ensure employment opportunities exist for the local workforce where possible. Policy PLP10 (supporting the rural economy) of the Strategy and Policies document (SD1, page 61) recognises the need to support rural and locally generated employment opportunities through a proactive policy response which supports the need for home working, local employment opportunities and SME operations within the smaller settlements of the district.Health issues have been factored into the site assessment process for the local plan. Meetings have been held and discussions are on‐going as part of the Local Plan infrastructure planning process with North Kirklees and Greater Huddersfield CCGs to plan for the impacts of allocations in the local plan and how it can influence NHS forward planning and investment including GP estates strategies and hospital infrastructure needs.At present there is no Neighbourhood Plan within this area to take into account in plan making. A Local Green Space option (LocGS2721) which covered the whole existing UDP Provisional Open Land site was rejected because when assessed against the Local Green Space criteria it is not demonstrably special and does not therefore merit designation as Local Green Space (see option LocGS2721). Further individual Local Green Space options have been created as a result of representations for the discrete areas of land covered by sites H297 (LocGS3449), H597 (LocGS3450) and SL3359 (LocGS3451) and these are set out in SD30 (New Site Options Report).The Publication Draft Local Plan recognises that high quality design is fundamental to making places more attractive, sustainable, safe and accessible. Policy PLP 24 seeks to ensure that good design is embedded into development proposals in Kirklees. The
design of housing proposals will be discussed and determined at planning applica on stage.Correspondence within BP28 (dated 24 th February 2017) clarifies Historic England’s current position with respect to these earlier comments, specifically that Historic England no longer consider that there has been no evaluation of the impact of any of the sites upon the historic environment.Historic England now fully acknowledge that the selection of sites which have been put forward as allocations in the Plan have been arrived at following a series of evaluations by the Council of the potential impacts that of all the sites might have upon the historic environment. Historic England endorse the process undertaken to arrive at the selection of sites included in the Plan and this has involved full consultation with, and considerable input from, Historic England throughout. Historic England have also confirmed that the Plan does not include any sites whose development will result in substantial harm to a designated heritage asset (and whose allocation, therefore, would be likely to conflict with national policy guidance).
The appeal inspector for the 1996 planning application on part of H597 raised concerns the proposal was incompatible with the size of Scholes, elements of the scheme would be out of scale and character and impact on sense of openness. Disproportionate scale of development compared to the size of Scholes. The council have disregarded the weight of local, reasoned opposition. Lack of infrastructure to accommodate new developments (NPPF 157), no funding committed and timing of essential junction improvements in the IDP not consistent with site delivery timescales.Cumulative highway impacts of the number of allocations in the area. Inadequate local highways ‐ sub‐standard local access roads, lack of footways, parking problems and lack of width on main routes with evidence from Holmfirth/Meltham Local Plan (1987) provided. Congestion caused by commuting to work and school. Disagree with the sustainability appraisal for this site. Insufficient primary school places in Scholes and insufficient secondary school places in the area. Assumptions relating to school places are not consistent with DoE publications on national pupil projections. Flood risk / drainage concerns in relation to general sewerage and drainage infrastructure as also raised by Yorkshire Water in 1995. The north‐east corner of H597 susceptible to flooding.

"Blocks" of development (141 dwellings on 4 acres) too large ‐ monolithic, ghetto‐like, and uncharacteristic of "open" structure of Pennine villages. Excessive infill elsewhere in the village has spoiled the original structure. Don't make it worse. Additional vehicles (+ 250) on already poor roads will make traffic problems worse than they are. Roads are too narrow (no white lines), no footpaths for long sections, no "refuge" for pedestrians for long distances, vehicles larger than superminis have problems passing. Road junctions in New Mill and Holmfirth unfit for purpose and can't cope without major revision.
Smaller area, fewer dwellings, Additional small areas to make up the numbers would help to retain landscape.No further development until improved roads and junctions present. Other authorities improve road system prior to development. No such improvements, other than mere surfacing and "sharpening" corners, has occurred in the Hoolme Valley for 40 years, despite massive increase in vehicle numbers.Improve bus service speed by operating compulsory pre‐journey ticketing (no buying tickets on the bus) ‐ most countries in Europe operate much faster public transport systems using this simple system.No change.

141 dwellings are proposed. Together with the almost adjacent H297 site (47 dwellings), this is much too large an increase in size of the village of Scholes, for the following reasons: Pennine villages in this area have a much more "open" structure, with space between dwellings or small groups of dwellings. This village has already suffered almost complete "infill", all gaps having been eliminated in recent years. The effect is a monolithic 'mass' on the landscape quite uncharacteristic of this rural area. The same fate has befallen several other villages at this altitude in the area to their detriment.

The dwellings will generate approximately 240 more vehicles on narrow, steep roads with sharp corners and no footpaths for long sections, leading to the overcrowded junctions in New Mill and Holmfirth. There is nothing "sustainable" about adding further private vehicle traffic to a poor road infrastructure. The bus service is good, provided you want to travel to Holmfirth or Huddersfield. No one will use a bus to commute to Wakefield, Sheffield, Barnsley, the M1 or Oldham. Given the convenience of commuting by car, the increase in traffic on the local roads will be very significant to the detriment of the local quality of life.
More people would use the bus if it was quicker and services went to more places.Please consider much more seriously the development of new hamlets/villages in areas where the landscape and infrastructure. Consider cross‐roads where good roads meet, with woodlands in the close vicinity that could be extended, and hopefully access to a passenger railway. Previous housing crises were partly solved by a policy of new towns, though a modern policy would require very low impact on good agricultural land, by selection of sites of low soil quality/productivity and low conservation value.No change.

Problematic roads ‐ we live on Paris Road and our properties walls against the road are continually being damage by road users (photos can be sent if required) the latest incident has completely knocked down the walls. There are continual problems near the shop/pub with parking making the road only wide enough for one vehicle. In short the road infrastructure around Scholes is not suitable for any more traffic.
No change. The council’s Statement of Community Involvement sets out when, how and with whom it will consult with as part of the development of the Local Plan. The council considers that the approaches set out are compliant with regulatory and NPPF requirements.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required Infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan. Highways assessment has shown that the site can be accessed and that the local highway links are acceptable. Consideration has been given to the previous planning appeal on this site but the site has been assessed as acceptable in highways terms under the current national planning policy framework. The Local Plan (SD1, Strategy and Policies, page 104) supports sustainable travel through Policy PLP 20 (Sustainable travel).

This also applies to homes which are empty on a short‐term basis. The council has an Empty Homes Strategy which aims to address the number of long‐term empty homes. In Kirklees, 1.2% of properties are long term vacant (at 2015) which is slightly higher than the national average.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/sreas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.The council hasn’t fully considered possible alternative sites.Full consideration of the likely impacts of the Local Plan’s strategy, policies and individual site allocations has been considered as part of the Sustainability Appraisal and a wider consideration of infrastructure planning impacts, such as schools, roads and other infrastructure – this is set out in the Local Plan evidence base. The council has considered all the relevant site options which have been submitted into the process in accordance with the published site selection methodology. The Local Plan promotes the re‐use of existing buildings and the use of brownfield land to meet development needs but also recognises that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements. The proposed number of homes for each allocation is indicative only and based on an efficient use of land required by national planning policy – the actual number of homes to be delivered on sites will be a matter for individual planning applications.Reference to historic refused planning application [94/62/94132/W3?]Proposed allocations and planning applications are assessed against current national planning policy.The proposed number of homes for each allocation is indicative only and based on an efficient use of land required by national planning policy – the actual number of homes to be delivered on sites will be a matter for individual planning applications.

The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.The council hasn’t fully considered possible alternative sites.Full consideration of the likely impacts of the Local Plan’s strategy, policies and individual site allocations has been considered as part of the Sustainability Appraisal and a wider consideration of infrastructure planning impacts, such as schools, roads and other infrastructure – this is set out in the Local Plan evidence base. The council has considered all the relevant site options which have been submitted into the process in accordance with the published site selection methodology.

Housing allocation sites H288a will add significant numbers of cars to a very substandard road network in close proximity to Holmfirth High School where road safety is an issue. All the above allocations will impact on New Mill Junction where the A635 meets the A616. This junction should be a priority for improvement in the plan. This allocation will also impact on the number of school places available in the area.
Reduce the number of housing allocation sites (H and SL). That will spread the build over a longer period and reduce the immediate impact on school places. However, we feel it would still be necessary to include New Mill Junction as an improvement scheme in the Local Plan. No change.

Empty homes within Kirklees should be filled before allocating greenfield sites for housing. Brownfield sites should be redeveloped before allocating greenfield sites for housing. Scale of proposed development is disproportionate to the size of the village. Other, more suitable, sites have not been fully considered by the council. Part of the proposed development site was refused planning permission for homes in 1995. The proposed development at Dobroyd Mills (which will increase the number of new homes in the area) hasn’t been considered within the Local Plan.

redeveloped before allocating greenfield sites for housing. The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/areas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.Scale of proposed development is disproportionate to the size of the village. These sites were designated as safeguarded land in the Unitary Development Plan and as such are within the Scholes settlement. The sites have been assessed using the Council’s site allocations methodology including use of evidence in the Settlement Appraisal and the sites have also been subject to Sustainability Appraisal as part of the Local Plan process. Sites H297 and H597 have been accepted as housing allocations as part of the approach of planning positively for development in the area. Following these assessments, the development of these sites is not deemed to represent disproportionate development compared to the scale of Scholes village. The site capacity is indicative and the actual capacity will be determined through the planning application process which can allow lower density development in certain circumstances. In relation to these sites, there are no exceptional circumstances for the site boundaries to be amended to add this land to the green belt.Other, more suitable, sites have not been fully considered by the council. Full consideration of the likely impacts of the Local Plan’s strategy, policies and individual site allocations has been considered as part of the Sustainability Appraisal and a wider consideration of infrastructure planning impacts, such as schools, roads and other infrastructure – this is set out in the Local Plan evidence base. The council has considered all the relevant site options which have been submitted into the process in accordance with the published site selection methodology. The Local Plan promotes the re‐use of existing buildings and the use of brownfield land to meet development needs but also recognises that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements. The proposed number of homes for each allocation is indicative only and based on an efficient use of land required by national planning policy – the actual number of homes to be delivered on sites will be a matter for individual planning applications.Reference to historic refused planning application [94/62/94132/W3?]Proposed allocations and planning applications are assessed against current national planning policy.The proposed number of homes for each allocation is indicative only and based on an efficient use of land required by national planning policy – the actual number of homes to be delivered on sites will be a matter for individual planning applications.The proposed development at Dobroyd Mills (which will increase the number of new homes in the area) hasn’t been considered within the Local Plan. Dobroyd Mills is situated within an accepted mixed use allocation (MX1912a) within the Publication Draft Local Plan.

Please refer to their document reference: SFG Reps Kirklees PDLP Dec 2016. Objection to H597 relates to a number of factors which renders Scholes unsuitable for these houses: access roads are barely adequate for the current population; there is little or no capacity in Scholes Junior School nor in Holmfirth High School; and this development will involve a long and short term negative impact on quality of life for existing residents.The plan is unsound as it fails to adequately reflect NPPF policies, specifically paragraphs 17, 28, 30, 34, 38, 72, 76, 77, 55, 109, 157.

There must be more suitable sites within the Kirklees area than H626, in particular brownfield sites.The plan is unsound in respect if the inclusion of site H626. 1. The road network in the village and especially around the proposed site is very congested and is already above capacity without adding more traffic. Access to the site either by Laithe Avenue or Dobb Top Lane would have a drastic effect on the safety of youngsters walking to school and High School children to bus stops as there aren't any footpaths on the roads. The sharp bends and increased traffic would certainly be a great hazard to our children. 2. The school is already over subscribed, there just isn't room for any more children. At peak school times the area can become very congested. 3. There are existing problems with drainage and sewerage systems which struggle to cope with the existing population causing major health and safety concerns. 4. Development would impact on the character of local area and the Peak Park. Children are at daily risk of an injury or even a fatality due to the volume of cars already in the village, this can only get worse with more households. 5. The footpath at the top of the field is extremely popular with walkers and has outstanding views. Development of 19 dwellings will have a drastic impact on these views destroying wildlife and will deter visitors. The current Unitary Development Plan states that this land should be designated as Protected Open Land, it is currently used as pasture land.
Remove site H626 from the Local Plan.No ChangeThe site is proposed as an accepted housing allocation. The site was proposed as an accepted site in the draft Local Plan (November 2015). Its allocation is considered consistent with the council’s site allocation methodology.The Local Plan seeks to encourage the development of brownfield sites but acknowledges that a brownfield only approach will not meet the district’s housing and employment land requirements alone, meaning that greenfield and green belt sites and land also need to play a role in meeting these needs. The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in Policy PLP3 Location of new development, PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings. Paragraph 6.41 of the Publication Draft states that the council will aim to maintain a reasonable supply of brownfield land for new jobs and homes through:the use of Local Development Orders on brownfield sites;the use of Compulsory Purchase orders to help bring forward key sites/sreas, where appropriate;the potential relaxations of Section 106 and a review of the CIL charging schedule to help bring forward brownfield land where appropriate;preparation of a brownfield land strategy and masterplans for key brownfield sites;use of funding regimes to remediate/pump prime stalled sites/difficult sites;creation of local housing and employment/enterprise zones where the financial receipt of greenfield development can be reinvested into subsidising brownfield sites (brownfield fund) and infrastructure.Highways assessments show that site access is achievable and that wider links to the network are acceptable. Assessment of the local highway network links has shown that a site of this size would not represent a significant intensification of use on the local highway network. Mitigation measures could include anti‐skid road surfacing on Bankfield Drive and Laithe Bank at the junction with Dobb Top Road.The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth.Although there are limited opportunities for the management of surface water from the site, the run‐off rates would be limited to Greenfield rates as set out in local plan policies once adopted. Drainage solutions within the site boundary may need to be explored through a planning application.The Landscape Character Assessments cover large areas of land and does not provide an assessment of specific pieces of land. There are existing residential properties on Bankfield Drive and Laithe Avenue which can be seen from local vantage points and development of H626 would be set against that backdrop.The Peak District National Park has been consulted on the Local Plan and has not raised concerns in relation to site H626. In terms of impacts on Local Wildlife Sites, we have not received objections from technical consultees and West Yorkshire Ecology suggested screen planting should be provided as mitigation.In terms of impacts on the South Pennine Moor Special Protection Area in combination effects on the Special Protection Area / Special Area of Conservation have been considered through the Kirklees Habitat Regulations Assessment.Public Rights of Way will be considered through the planning application process to ensure such rights of way are maintained through the area.

The encouragement of brownfield sites is also set out in SD1 (Strategy and Policies) Policy PLP3 Location of new development and PLP7 Effective and Efficient use of land and buildings.

Assessment of the local highway network links has shown that a site of this size would not represent a significant intensification of use on the local highway network. The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan (Infrastructure Delivery Plan document ref LE40 and Infrastructure Delivery Plan Addendum 2016 document ref LE40.1).The balance of strengths and opportunities for growth and the challenges to growth are identified under the Place shaping – Kirklees Rural section of the Publication Plan. This has informed the spatial strategy for the Plan. The Sustainability Appraisal and settlement appraisal evidence indicates that this site is in a sustainable location. The Local Plan supports sustainable travel through PLP 20 Sustainable Travel (SD1 Strategy and Policies). The Kirklees Local Plan contains policies which will help to ensure that the needs of the rural tourism industry are positively supported (Policy PLP 10, ‘Supporting the rural economy’) and that development is sensitively designed to respect and enhance the character of the townscape, heritage assets and landscape (Policy PLP 24, ‘Design’; Policy PLP 35, ‘Historic environment’). The core cycling and walking network (as shown on the Policies Map) will be safeguarded and extended (Policy PLP 23, ‘Core walking and cycling network’), thus protecting existing routes and providing further opportunities for leisure uses such as walking, cycling and horse riding. New proposals will be expected to integrate into the existing network by providing connecting links where appropriate.The Peak District National Park has been consulted on the Local Plan and has not raised concerns in relation to this site. In terms of impacts on Local Wildlife Sites, we have not received objections from technical consultees and West Yorkshire Ecology suggested screen planting should be provided as mitigation. Natural England is content with the conclusions of the Habitats Regulation Assessment (SD10), i.e. that the plan will not have adverse effects on the integrity of the South Pennine Moors Phase 2 Special Protection Area (SPA) or the Peak District Moors (South Pennine Moors Phase 1) SPA as a result of the loss of functionally connected land for SPA birds.Although there are limited opportunities for the management of surface water from the site, the run‐off rates would be limited to Greenfield rates as set out in local plan policies once adopted. Drainage solutions within the site boundary may need to be explored through a planning application. In addition, policy PLP24 ‘Design’ (document ref SD1) at criteria states that any development should provide a high standard of amenity for future and neighbouring occupiers, including maintaining appropriate distances between buildings.

The site is not justified on the grounds of: ‐ road safety concerns have not been listened too, in particular the steep gradients of Bankfield Drive, Laithe Bank, Smithy Lane and parked cars linit Dobb Top Road. The roads are narrow with no footways and the increase in traffic will lead to an increased risk to children walking on the Rural School Route. Disagree with the council's highway assessment. ‐ there is a lack of consistency between the assessment for SL2188 and H626 ‐ the road implications for H626 have been assessed in isolation. The Sustainability Appraisal is too broad brush to justify the allocation. ‐ impact on visual amenity and landscape character of the area ‐ inconsistency between public health comments between SL2188 and H626 ‐ lack of school places at Hinchcliffe Mill School, whose comments have been ignored.The inclusion of the site is contrary to NPPF specifically paragraphs 17, 28, 29, 30, 35, 72, 75, 109, 155 and 157 and will not enable sustainable development.

The site was proposed as an accepted site in the draft Local Plan (November 2015). Its allocation is considered consistent with the council’s site allocation methodology.The Council has strategically modelled the transport network (local highway, public transport and strategic road network) in order to assess the cumulative transport impact of the land use allocations in the draft Local Plan. The work identified locations on the highway network which are forecast to suffer increased delays as a result of the proposals and the Council has devised an appropriate transport mitigation strategy. It is not considered therefore that the level of growth proposed would have a severe impact on Kirklees highway network that otherwise cannot be adequately mitigated against. See Transport Model Technical Paper.Highways assessments show that site access is achievable and that wider links to the network are acceptable. Assessment of the local highway network links has shown that a site of this size would not represent a significant intensification of use on the local highway network.

In terms of impacts on Local Wildlife Sites, we have not received objections from technical consultees and West Yorkshire Ecology suggested screen planting should be provided as mitigation.The Local Plan is supported by an Infrastructure Delivery Plan which sets out the required infrastructure to support the spatial strategy outlined in the Local Plan (Infrastructure Delivery Plan document ref LE40 and Infrastructure Delivery Plan Addendum 2016 document ref LE40.1). The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Although there are limited opportunities for the management of surface water from the site, the run‐off rates would be limited to Greenfield rates as set out in local plan policies once adopted. Drainage solutions within the site boundary may need to be explored through a planning application.

The strategy is not the most appropriate as there is insufficient infrastructure in the area and Holme Valley should be promoted for tourism, health and recreational uses for local residents and wider populationThe site is not justified on the grounds of: ‐ inadequate infrastructure and impossibility of increasing it ‐ inability to widen highway network and improve safety by the addition of pavements ‐ highway capacity ‐ there is already a high volume of traffic and nature of roads and parked cars creates hazards ‐ highway safety ‐ especially for children on school route ‐ lack of capacity at school. Traffic situation will be compounded by parents taking their children to other schools ‐ public transport is limited and not a viable option ‐ drainage and sewerage capacity issues

The highways network in the vicinity of the site is constrained. Previous planning history on the site has been refused previously in 1980 and 1992, with the decision upheld at appeal. Since 1992 a further 38 dwellings have been erected / have permission along minor road network on this side of the valley. Development will have landscape impact and have a potential impact on environment and tourism ‐ due to proximity of Coddy's Farm and Holmfirth Vineyard. The local school is overcrowded. The site is located far from public health facilities.The Parish Council supports the residents’ concerns and reiterates that the inclusion of site H626 as an accepted site for housing is contrary to the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework, particularly 17, 28, 29, 30, 37, 72, 75, 109, 110, 155 and 157 and that it will not support sustainable developmentNo changeIt should be noted that this site is not currently within the green belt. The Peak District National Park has been consulted on the Local Plan and has not raised concerns in relation to this site. In terms of impacts on Local Wildlife Sites, we have not received objections from technical consultees and West Yorkshire Ecology suggested screen planting should be provided as mitigation.Every site underwent a technical assessment in accordance with the site allocation methodology, including a detailed site specific assessment of the potential for the site to be safely accessed from an adopted highway and potential impact on the local highway network (Local Plan Methodology Part 2: Site Allocation Methodology document ref BP23). The outcomes of those assessments for the rejected options are set out in the Kirklees Publication Draft Local Plan Rejected Site Options Report (document ref LE4). Highways assessments of site H626 show that site access is achievable and that wider links to the network are acceptable. Assessment of the local highway network links has shown that a site of this size would not represent a significant intensification of use on the local highway network. The Council has strategically modelled the transport network (local highway, public transport and strategic road network) in order to assess the cumulative transport impact of the land use allocations in the draft Local Plan. The work identified locations on the highway network which are forecast to suffer increased delays as a result of the proposals and the Council has devised an appropriate transport mitigation strategy. It is not considered therefore that the level of growth proposed would have a severe impact on Kirklees highway network that otherwise cannot be adequately mitigated. See BP12 Transport Model Technical Paper. Mitigation measures could include anti‐skid road surfacing on Bankfield Drive and Laithe Bank at the junction with Dobb Top Road. The planning application subject to a dismissed appeal (92/04281) covered a larger area and had a higher dwelling capacity than this site. The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams. This work is on‐going to ensure school places are available to meet the needs of future growth. Although there are limited opportunities for the management of surface water from the site, the run‐off rates would be limited to Greenfield rates as set out in local plan policies once adopted. Drainage solutions within the site boundary may need to be explored through a planning application.The Kirklees Local Plan contains policies which will help to ensure that the needs of the rural tourism industry are positively supported (Policy PLP 10, ‘Supporting the rural economy’) and that development is sensitively designed to respect and enhance the character of the townscape, heritage assets and landscape (Policy PLP 24, ‘Design’; Policy PLP 35, ‘Historic environment’). The core cycling and walking network (as shown on the Policies Map) will be safeguarded and extended (Policy PLP 23, ‘Core walking and cycling network’), thus protecting existing routes and providing further opportunities for leisure uses such as walking, cycling and horse riding. New proposals will be expected to integrate into the existing network by providing connecting links where appropriate. It is not accepted that the site displays the upland landscape characteristics referred to in the Landscape Character Assessment (document ref LE47). It is an area of grazing land well related to the existing settlement. Development of the site would not project built form any further to the south of the settlement than the existing modern housing on Laithe Avenue.In terms of impacts on the South Pennine Moor Special Protection Area,in combination effects on the Special Protection Area / Special Area of Conservation have been considered through the Kirklees Habitat Regulations Assessment. Natural England is content with the conclusions of the HRA (SD10), i.e. that the plan will not have adverse effects on the integrity of the South Pennine Moors Phase 2 Special Protection Area (SPA) or the Peak District Moors (South Pennine Moors Phase 1) SPA as a result of the loss of functionally connected land for SPA birds.The impact of development on school place planning has been assessed through the infrastructure planning work between the Local Plan and School Place Planning Teams.

Development will ruin a greenfield site surrounded by beautiful countrysideThe site is not justified on the grounds of: ‐ despite opposition to building the proposed number of houses has increased ‐ Bank Field Drive and Laithe bank Drive are extremely steep and there are problems in bad weather with cars skidding ‐ pedestrian safety ‐ there are no footpaths and the road is narrow which creates a risk for children walking to school ‐ sewerage system is at capacity ‐ problem of parked cars on A6024 ‐ impact of development on tourism

evidence to that effect is documented in SD14 (Duty to Cooperate Statement).Natural England is content with the conclusions of the HRA (SD10), i.e. that the plan will not have adverse effects on the integrity of the South Pennine Moors Phase 2 Special Protection Area (SPA) or the Peak District Moors (South Pennine Moors Phase 1) SPA as a result of the loss of functionally connected land for SPA birds. Their letter dated 3rd April 2017 confirms this (see BP28).Furthermore SD14 identifies at paragraph 3.3 that the council has reflected Yorkshire West Local Nature Partnership's statement of principles and priorities at paragraph 13.20 of the Strategy and Policies document and that the Council also discussed the South Pennine Moors Special Protection Area (SPA) with YWLNP at their meeting on January 5th 2016.SD14 demonstrates how Kirklees Council has undertaken the required level of co‐operation with neighbouring authorities (such as the Peak Park Planning Authority) and other agencies concerned with the protection and conservation of the South Pennine moorlands (such as Natural England and YWLNP).
The site is not justified on the grounds of: ‐ inadequate access of Laithe Bank Drive as it is very steep and does not get gritted in winter leading to cars parking on Dobb Top Road and traffic congestion. ‐ Hinchcliffe Mill junior and Infant School is at capacity and no provision has been made for spaces ‐ sewerage issues need to be addressed.

It is unsound to plan for additional housing that would result in more cars, more school children (when the local school is already at capacity), more traffic and more congestion, with a resulting negative impact on land drainage and sewage systems, local tourism, the natural beauty of the area and wildlife as well as on the quality of daily life for local residents.
