Selby District Submission Draft Core Strategy – May 2011 __________________________________________________________________ 1.25 The Core Strategy is also influenced by the Sustainable Community Strategy 3 prepared by the Local Strategic Partnership, the Council’s own corporate policies and proposals established in the Renaissance Programme sponsored by Yorkshire Forward. The Core Strategy also takes account of North Yorkshire County Council’s Community Strategy. In preparing the Strategy, the aim has been to accommodate the relevant aspects of these local strategies and provide a smooth transition from the Selby District Local Plan policies which will be progressively replaced by new style development plan documents. 1.26 Two overarching global issues which influence planning policies at all levels are the conservation of the earth’s finite energy resources and climate change. These issues are strongly linked through the production of carbon emissions. The strategy aims to reduce carbon emissions in the District by encouraging less travel particularly by private car, promoting improved energy efficiency of buildings and encouraging a switch to the use of renewable energy sources. A further policy strand aims to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change, for example in relation to flood risk minimisation and management which is of major importance for the District. 1.27 Promoting a healthy environment and lifestyle is also an issue which permeates a number of policy areas. Healthier Communities is one of the Council’s Corporate Strategic Themes and wherever possible Core Strategy policies aim to encourage good health and well being as well as improved access to health care and other facilities. The environment policies aim to create a green and healthy environment and aim to facilitate sustainable access modes, including walking and cycling. In addition the spatial 3 Selby District Sustainable Community Strategy 2005 – 2010 (reviewed 2008) 2010-2015 (PC5.1) - 8 -
Selby District Submission Draft Core Strategy – May 2011 __________________________________________________________________ strategy as a whole aims to reduce the need to travel and minimise pollution. 1.28 At the heart of the Core Strategy is a spatially focussed approach to policies which are aimed at developing places and communities in a sustainable way. This ‘place shaping agenda’ will become increasingly important as part of the Government’s Big Society initiative and the devolvement of power to local communities. Sustainability Appraisal 1.29 A key national policy requirement of the LDF is that it should deliver sustainable development. In order to assist this process the Core Strategy has been accompanied by a Sustainability Appraisal, which also takes account of Strategic Environmental Assessment Regulations 4 , which govern implementation of European legislation on this matter. The Sustainability Appraisal Report is available on the Council’s website or on request. Habitats Regulations Assessment 1.30 The Council has also undertaken a Habitats Regulations Assessment in compliance with the EU Habitats Directive and the UK Habitats Regulations. The Appropriate Assessment ensures protection for Natura 2000 sites against deterioration of disturbance from plans, projects or activities (alone or in combination with other plans, projects and activities) on the features for which they are designated. The Assessment also considers areas designated as Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance. HRA will be required at the lower tier plan stage for any plans, projects or activities which may have a significant effect on Natura 2000 and Ramsar sites.
