APPLICATION NO. 21/00226/FUL REPORT 1. Site Description 1.1 The application site is located within the established urban area of Shotts and is approximately 1.12ha in size. The application site is located off Rosehall Road in Shotts and is to the north and west of existing residential properties. To the northeast of the application site is a car garage and band hall and to the north of the site is the Rosehall Road Surgery and a garage workshop. The proposed development will be access from Rosehall Road. The site has a variety of level differences with site levels sloping down towards the Curry Burn which flows along the western boundary of the application site. 2. Proposed Development 2.1 The applicant seeks planning permission for a residential development of 49 units which comprises of five flatted blocked with a total of 39 flats, eight semi-detached dwellinghouses and two detached dwellinghouses. Associated infrastructure such as parling provision, drainage and the internal road layout and a new pedestrian and vehicle access onto Rosehall Road are also proposed. 2.2 It is noted that the application site boundary originally included areas of land to the west of the Curry Burn to which no development has been proposed. As no development has been proposed to these areas the applicant has revised the application site boundary to exclude them. The application site boundary denoted with a red line within drawing H486-01E now only includes land upon which development is proposed. The other areas of land within the applicant’s ownership are now denoted with a blue line boundary. 3. Applicant’s Supporting Information 3.1 The Applicant has provided the following information: • Coal Mining Risk Assessment • Architectural drawings • Site level and section drawing • Drainage And Water Management Strategy • Flood Risk Modelling Report • Noise Impact Assessment • Design and Access Statement • Extended Phase I Habitat Survey • Protected Species Assessment Update • Landscaping proposals • Daylight Analysis • Report on Rotary Bores • Ground Level Tree Survey/Visual Assessment 4. Site History 4.1 An application for planning permission (07/01334/FUL) was approved (subject to conditions) in April 2010. This application was also submitted by the current applicant and sought permission for residential development comprising 43 flats (2 no. 2 storey blocks and 4 no. 3 storey blocks with 4 storey rear basement element) and erection of 10 two storey detached and semi-detached dwellings. This permission was approved following an appeal to the DPEA and required the completion of a Planning Obligation (S69 legal agreement). This Planning Obligation related to a financial contribution towards the improvement of off-site play facilities in lieu of on-site play provision. The S69 was completed and the contribution of £15,750 was paid to the council in April 2010. Page 14 of 154

5. Development Plan 5.1 The Development Plan consists of the North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan and the National Planning Framework 4 (NPF 4). NPF 4 was adopted by the Scottish Parliament in February 2023 and prevails over any policies in the Local Development Plan that are incompatible with its aims and objectives. 5.2 NPF 4 policy 3 Biodiversity sets out criteria by which development should be assessed. Development proposals should contribute to the enhancement of biodiversity, and development proposals for major development will only be supported where it can be demonstrated that the proposal will conserve, restore and enhance biodiversity. 5.3 NPF 4 policy 13 Sustainable Transport sets out to encourage, promote and facilitate developments that prioritise walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport for everyday travel and reduce the need to travel unsustainably. 5.4 NPF 4 policy 14 Design, Quality and Place seeks to ensure that developments are of a good design that are not detrimental to the amenity of surrounding area and are consistent with the 6 qualities of successful places – Healthy, Pleasant, Connected, Distinctive, Sustainable and Adaptable 5.5 NPF 4 policy 15 - Local Living and 20 Minute Neighbourhoods sets out that to establish this goal consideration will be given to existing settlement pattern, and the level and quality of interconnectivity of the proposed development with the surrounding area. 5.6 NPF 4 policy 16 - Quality Homes supports new homes on land allocated for housing in Local Development Plans and sets out various requirements including, and not limited, to meeting local housing requirements, providing or enhancing local infrastructure, facilities or services and improving the residential amenity of the surrounding area. 5.7 NPF 4 policy 22 - Flood risk and water management intends to strengthen resilience to flood risk by promoting avoidance as a first principle and reducing the vulnerability of existing and future development to flooding. 5.8 The following policies are relevant within the North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan: • PP 3 and AD 3 General Urban Area • PROT A Category 5 Natural Environment - Protected Species • CI Contributions to Infrastructure • EDQ 1 Site appraisal • EDQ 2 Specific Features for Consideration • EDQ 3 Quality of Development 5.9 PP 3 and AD 3 General Urban Area This policy which seeks to maintain and improve the level of amenity in urban areas, by encouraging development that is in keeping with its often primarily residential character and encouraging diversity in more mixed-use areas. General Urban Areas are either primarily residential in character or have a mixture of recognisably urban uses. 5.10 PROT Natural Environment and Green Network Assets Planning permission will only be granted for proposals potentially affecting Local Sites if it can be demonstrated to the Council’s satisfaction that there will be no adverse impact or that any impacts can be mitigated in environmental terms relevant to the impact. 5.11 CI Contributions to Infrastructure This policy sets out that the council will seek developer contributions for new developments that individually or cumulatively generate a requirement for new or enhanced services or infrastructure in respect of Affordable Housing, Education, Transport and Green Infrastructure, Amenity Space and Play.

Page 16
5.12 Environmental and Design Quality Policies EDQ 1 – Site Appraisal EDQ 2 – Specific Features for Consideration EDQ 3 – Quality of Development These three policies look for proposed developments to create a successful place or enhance existing places by integrating successfully into the local area and avoiding harm to neighbouring amenity. To do this a range of criteria is listed within these policies which includes amongst other things aspects of design, massing, materials, topography and aspects to protect the existing urban area and its specific characteristics, assets and attributes. They consider hazardous zones, utilities infrastructure and management areas and look to promote biodiversity and the environment whilst meeting the challenges of the climate change via suitable and safe access for all users to promote sustainable public travel or for example the provision of electrical charge points where the car is still a requirement. 6. Consultations 6.1 The following consultation responses have been received in respect of the application. 6.2 Coal Authority initially objected to this application however following submission of additional information the Coal Authority has advised that it withdraws its objection and concurs with the recommendations of the Mining Risk Assessment Report (2 April 2021, prepared by Simpson Mining & Geotechnical Ltd) that recorded mine entries (shafts and adits) potentially pose a risk to ground stability and public safety and that intrusive site investigation works should be undertaken prior to development in order to establish the exact situation regarding it. Should planning permission be granted conditions requiring the undertaking of a scheme of intrusive investigations and the implementation of any necessary remediation works and/or mitigation measures should be attached to any permission. A further condition requiring that, prior to the occupation of the site, a signed statement which confirms that the site is, or has been made, safe and stable for the approved development shall be submitted the council’s Planning Service for approval should also be attached to any permission. 6.3 Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) initially objected to this application however following submission of additional information SEPA has advised that it withdraws its objection and are satisfied that proposal is in accordance with NPF4 Policy 22 part a) Flood risk and water management. 6.4 Scottish Water has no objection to this application. 6.5 The council’s Pollution Control Service has no objections to the proposed development subject to site investigations being undertaken. Should this application be approved conditions requiring the submission of site investigation information and the undertaking of any necessary remedial works should be attached to any permission. Pollution Control has also required that a noise impact assessment should be undertaken. A Noise Impact Assessment by Sharps Redmore dated 21st December 2023 was subsequently submitted. Pollution Control has reviewed this and has advised that the methodology and conclusions of the report are acceptable and that no additional noise mitigation measures (such as any particular glazing specifications) are required other than the planned building and garden plot layouts detailed within the submitted drawings. 6.6 The council’s Roads Development Service has provided comments in relation to the proposed access onto Rosehall Road, proposed footways, parking provision, and the development’s internal road layout. Should this application be approved, conditions in relation to the implementation of the proposed access and visibility splay should be attached to any permission. Page 16 of 154
Page 17
6.7 The council’s Greenspace Development Service has reviewed the landscape proposals and have advised that they are satisfied with the proposed landscaping for the development. The Greenspace Development Service has advised that further planting species and biodiversity enhancement information is required and should this application be approved conditions requiring the submission of this information should be attached. Following on from this, conditions ensuring the full implementation and thereafter maintenance of the proposed landscaping also be attached to any permission. The Greenspace Development Service has also advised that an updated Extended Phase I Habitat Survey and Protected Species Assessment should be submitted prior to the undertaking of any works on site should this application be approved. 6.8 The council’s Learning and Leisure Service has advised that no capacity issues are anticipated within local schools and no developer contribution has been requested. 6.9 The council’s Play Service has advised that for a development such as this a developer contribution towards off-site play provision would usually be required. However, as a developer contribution towards play provision has previously been paid to the council in relation to planning permission 07/01334/FUL, no additional developer contribution is required in this instance. 7. Representations 7.1 Following the advertisement and neighbour notification of this application 24 objections (including several from the same household) and a single neutral representation were received. 7.2 In summary, the objections to this application raise concerns in the following areas: • Impact on traffic levels and condition of Rosehall Road • Pedestrian safety concerns including the narrow footways on Rosehall Road • Concerns about the rail bridge on Rosehall Road • Impacts on privacy of neighbouring properties • Impacts on daylight of neighbouring properties • Impacts on the Curry Burn • Underground mining concerns within the site • Impact on existing services, facilities and infrastructure such as schools, shops, doctors and parking • Lack of services within local area such as shops • Concerns about noise from the development • Concern about impact on existing noise making properties such as the band hall • Drainage and flooding impacts caused by the proposed development • Impact on wildlife • Loss of trees • Loss of greenspace • Japanese knotweed concerns • Lack of social/affordable housing • Overdevelopment of Shotts • Overdevelopment of the site • Development should be on brownfield sites • The development of Flats is not in keeping with local area • The height of the flats is not in keeping with local area 7.3 Other issue were raised; however, they are not material planning considerations. These include concerns such as the impact on existing views, impact on mental health, potential increase of vermin due to the development, speeding on Rosehall Road, impacts caused by construction (dirt, dust, road closures, noise), possible anti-social behaviour and potential damage to neighbouring properties. 7.4 Concerns regarding the council’s neighbour notification procedures have been raised, specifically in relation to the timescale within which representations can be made and the potential discrimination such timescales cause to those without access to the internet.

7.5 A request for a Planning Hearing has been made by objectors to the development. Based on the approved protocol for planning application hearings, as the proposal is recommended for approval and is not considered to be contrary to the development plan, that the threshold set out for a hearing has not been met. 8. Planning Assessment 8.1 Section 25 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 requires that planning decisions are made in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The Development Plan comprises the North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan (NLLDP) and the National Planning Framework 4 (NPF 4) with NPF 4 prevailing over any NLLDP policies that are incompatible with its aims and objectives. National Planning Framework 4 8.2 The introduction of NPF 4 in February 2023 requires that these policies be taken into account in assessing all developments. The most appropriate of these are discussed below. 8.3 NPF 4 policy 3 Biodiversity sets out criteria by which development should be assessed. Development proposals should contribute to the enhancement of biodiversity, and proposals for local development will include appropriate measures to conserve, restore and enhance biodiversity. The proposed development is located out with any designated nature conservation sites. However, due to an Extended Phase I Habitat Survey and Protected Species Assessment have been submitted by the applicant which advises that the application site includes areas of dense scrub, grassland, tall ruderals and semi-natural board-leaved woodland. The site also includes areas of Japanese Knotweed and Giant Hogweed. There is no evidence within the site of otters, badgers and water voles. This report concludes that the habitats present on site are not considered to be significant at the local or regional level. The Greenspace Development Service has advised that an updated Extended Phase I Habitat Survey and Protected Species Assessment (both by Acorna Ecology Ltd) should be submitted prior to the undertaking of any works on site should this application be approved. Conditions in relation to the undertaking of these updated surveys, submission of updated reports and the implementation of any recommendations within these reports should be attached to any permission. Conditions requiring the submission of reports detailing the exact location of Japanese Knotweed and Giant Hogweed within the application site as well eradication proposals should also be attached to any permission. 8.4 The applicant has also submitted a Ground Level Tree Survey/Visual Assessment (by Acorna Ecology Ltd) as part of this application. This Ground Level Tree Survey/Visual Assessment surveyed trees within the site to determine whether there are any of a high quality and value are located within the site that should be retained. Acorna Ecology Ltd has advised that there no trees of high quality and value that should be retained with many being of moderate or low quality and value. It should be noted that there are no Tree Preservation Orders attached to any trees within the site. It is noted that the applicant has proposes a scheme of landscaping which is detailed within drawing H486-05J. The Greenspace Development Service is satisfied with the proposed landscaping scheme and advised that further planting species and biodiversity enhancement information is required and should this application be approved conditions requiring the submission of this information should be attached to any permission. The Greenspace Development Service have advised that should this application be approved, conditions ensuring the full implementation and thereafter maintenance of the proposed landscaping be attached to any permission. On assessment, it is considered that the proposed development would be compatible with policy 3 (Biodiversity) within NPF 4. 8.5 NPF 4 policy 13 Sustainable transport sets out to encourage, promote and facilitate developments that prioritise walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport for everyday travel and reduce the need to travel unsustainably. The application site is well located with opportunities for sustainable travel by bus within walking distance of the application site. Bus services serving bus stops located on Easter Road and King Street enable access to a range of destinations such as Harthill, Wishaw General Hospital, Ravenscraig, Motherwell and Whitburn and other opportunities for onward travel by train via Shotts Train Station. The proposed layout of the development allows for high quality permeable walking environments with the installation of 3m wide footpaths along the frontage of the site on Rosehall Road. The proposed development therefore accords with policy 13 Sustainable transport. Page 18 of 154
Page 19
8.6 NPF4 policy 14 Design, Quality and Place seeks to ensure that developments are of a good design that are not detrimental to the amenity of surrounding area and are consistent with the 6 qualities of successful places – Healthy, Pleasant, Connected, Distinctive, Sustainable and Adaptable. Proposals which are poorly designed or detrimental to the amenity of the surrounding area will not be supported. LDP policies EDQ 1 and EDQ 3 collectively have similar requirements, specifying that development proposals be subject to an appropriate site appraisal and achieve a high quality of development. The proposed residential development is considered well designed and would integrate well within the existing urban area. The applicant proposes the use of traditional finishing materials such as facing brick and rendered masonry. Whilst the proposed finishing material are acceptable, should this application be approved a condition requiring the submission of specific details of the proposed finishing materials for each flatted block and dwellinghouse would be attached to any permission. It is considered that the development meets the six qualities of successful places and therefore accords with this policy. 8.7 NPF 4 policy 15 Local Living and 20 Minute Neighbourhoods intends to encourage, promote and facilitate the application of the Place Principle and create connected and compact neighbourhoods where people can meet the majority of their daily needs within a reasonable distance of their home, preferably by walking, wheeling or cycling or using sustainable transport options. When considering a proposal, consideration will be given to existing settlement pattern, and the level and quality of interconnectivity of the proposed development with the surrounding area, including local access to sustainable modes of transport (local public transport and safe, high-quality walking, and cycling networks), shopping, education and health, social services and affordable and accessible housing options. Being within an urban area the application site is well served by road and footpath links, with further improvement to the footway provision along Rosehall Road being proposed by the applicant. The site has access to sustainable travel options such as buses which provides direct connections to large supermarkets within Newmains and Wishaw. The application site is located to the west of Shotts Town Centre and is within walking distance of local convenience shops providing day to day provisions. The proposed development is therefore considered to comply with policy 15 of NPF 4. 8.8 NPF 4 policy 16 Quality Homes seeks to encourage, promote and facilitate the delivery of more high quality, affordable and sustainable homes, in the right locations, providing choice across tenures that meet the diverse housing needs of people and communities. It is considered that the proposed residential development with its mix of accommodation type including flats and semi-detached and detached dwellinghouses will provide choice for future residents. The proposed development is therefore considered consistent with this policy. 8.9 NPF 4 policy 22 Flood risk and water management intends to strengthen resilience to flood risk by promoting avoidance as a first principle and reducing the vulnerability of existing and future development to flooding. Part c) of policy 22 advises that development proposals should not increase the risk of surface water flooding to others, or itself be at risk, manage all rain and surface water through sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) and seek to minimise the area of impermeable surface. It is noted that SEPA initially objected to this application as additional flood risk modelling was required. Following submission of this additional information SEPA has advised that it withdraws its objection and is satisfied that proposal is in accordance with NPF 4 Policy 22 part a) Flood risk and water management. 8.10 Based on the above assessment the proposed development complies with policies 3, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 22 of NPF 4.

8.11 The application site is designated as part of the General Urban Area under policies PP 3 and AD 3. Policy PP 3 and AD 3 seeks to maintain and improve the level of amenity in urban areas, by encouraging development that is in keeping with its often primarily residential character and encouraging diversity in more mixed-use areas. General Urban Areas are either primarily residential in character or have a mixture of recognisably urban uses. To the west of the application site is the Curry Burn and an area of land (owned by the applicant) which is designated as part of the Countryside under NLLDP policy PP 5 and AD 5. The applicant originally included this area of Countryside within the application site boundary despite no development being proposed for this area. The applicant revised the application site boundary and has excluded this area to the west of the Curry Burn from this application. In terms of policy PP 3 and AD 3, the proposed development is located with an existing General Urban Area and will enable an existing vacant site to be developed. The proposal for a residential development of 49 dwellings would integrate successfully with the existing residential areas to the south and east. It is therefore considered that this application would comply with policies PP 3 and AD 3. 8.12 Policy PROT A Category A5 sets out that development that significantly affects a species protected by law will only be permitted where an appraisal has demonstrated that the protected species would not be compromised; or any significant adverse effects on the protected species are mitigated through planning conditions. As detailed above the applicant has submitted an Extended Phase I Habitat Survey, July 2021 with April 2023 Update. The habitats present are not considered significant at a local or regional level. With regards to protected species, the report advises that due to the possibility of bats roosting within the site a series of bat surveys should be completed. Similarly for breeding birds further survey to pinpoint any breeding bird activity should be undertaken prior to any removal of vegetation. In terms of other protected species, no evidence of otters, badgers or water vole has been found. The council’s Greenspace Development Service having reviewed the Extended Phase I Habitat Survey, July 2021 with April 2023 Update and Protective Species Assessment (dated 2009) has raised no objection to this application and has advised that should planning permission be approved, conditions requiring the submission of an updated Extended Phase I Habitat Survey and Protected Species Assessment prior to the undertaking of any works on site (including the removal of vegetation) should be attached to any permission. Conditions in relation to the implementation of any recommendations within these updated reports should also be attached to any permission. 8.13 Where new development is proposed that, individually or cumulatively, generates a requirement for new or enhanced infrastructure or services in the categories listed, developers will be expected to contribute towards the provision of the required infrastructure, facilities and services. Policy CI 1 Contributions to Infrastructure sets out the four categories of infrastructure which the council could seek developer contributions towards. CL1 Category Green Infrastructure, Amenity Space and Play advises that for all forms of development a contribution towards the creation of green infrastructure, amenity space and/or the provision of play infrastructure may be expected. For all forms of development, the Council will secure the required on-site green infrastructure, amenity space and/or the provision of play infrastructure by planning condition and/or legal agreement. For developments where off-site provision is preferred or required but cannot be provided directly by the developer or group of developers the Council will seek contributions to the identified infrastructure. In this case the council’s Play Service has advised that whilst a developer contribution towards off-site play provision would usually be required for this type of development, as a developer contribution towards play provision has previously been paid to the council in relation to a previous planning approval that was not developed on the application site, no additional developer contribution is required. 8.14 In relation to policies EDQ 1 the applicant has submitted information in relation to their appraisal of the application site including architectural and site levels drawings, Coal Mining Risk Assessment, Drainage and Water Management Strategy, Flood Risk Modelling Report, Noise Impact Assessment, Design and Access Statement, Extended Phase I Habitat Survey, Protected Species Assessment Update, Landscaping proposals, Daylight Analysis, Report on Rotary Bores and a Ground Level Tree Survey/Visual Assessment.

8.15 Policy EDQ 2 Specific Features for Consideration details that the council will consider development in areas subject to hazards (Hazardous Zones such as Coal Authority High Risk Areas) and other specific features (utilities infrastructure and management areas) in accordance with plans and protocols of the relevant managing agencies. The Council will expect applications for Planning Permission to be accompanied by an assessment of how constraints affect sites dependant on the characteristics of the site, its surroundings and the form of development. The application site is located within a Coal Authority High Risk Area and the applicant has submitted a Coal Mining Risk Assessment. As detailed above the Coal Authority has advised that intrusive site investigation works should be undertaken prior to development in order to establish the exact situation regarding it. Should planning permission be granted conditions requiring the undertaking of a scheme of intrusive investigations and the implementation of any necessary remediation works and/or mitigation measures should be attached to any permission. A further condition requiring that, prior to the occupation of the site, a signed statement which confirms that the site is, or has been made, safe and stable for the approved development shall be submitted the council’s Planning Service for approval should also be attached to any permission. 8.16 Policy EDQ 3 Quality of Development sets out that development will only be permitted where high standards of site planning and sustainable design are achieved. Aspects such as siting; overall layout; density; form; scale; height; massing; proportion; detailing; colour; materials for the proposed development need to be considered. Policy EDQ 3 also includes aspects related to creating areas which provide a sustainable, safe, secure, and convenient access to and from the development that makes it easy to move around, and is attractive to pedestrians, cyclists, and people with disabilities. Any development would need to integrate well with public transport, green networks, and wider links. The assessment of and (where necessary) the mitigation of pollution impacts is also included within policy EDQ 3. 8.17 With regard to policy EDQ 3, it is considered that the scale, density, design and overall layout; of the proposed development would be acceptable and would integrate successfully into the local and wider urban area. The applicant proposes the use of traditional finishing materials such as facing brick and rendered masonry which is considered acceptable. Should this application be approved a condition requiring the submission of specific details of the proposed finishing materials for each flatted block and dwellinghouse will be attached to any permission. It is noted that as part of the proposed development the application site will be re-profiled with the existing site levels of areas of the site being lower from that currently. Drawings H486-16A and H486-13D show the existing site levels and site sections for the application site and drawings H486-ES-01 C, H486-14M, H486-02R show the proposed site levels and site sections for the proposed development. The applicant has also provided details of the finished floor levels for each flatted block and dwellinghouse. Conditions relating to the implementation of the approved site levels will be included within any permission. 8.18 In terms of the potential impact of the development on the daylight of neighbouring properties, the Building Research Establishment’s guide ‘Site Layout Planning for Daylight and Sunlight’ sets out empirical guidelines and methods for assessing natural light. The 25-degree test is to establish the effect a proposed building will have on existing properties with regard to obstructing daylight to existing windows/rooms. The applicant has provided a Daylight Analysis which assesses the potential the daylight/sunlight impact that the of the flatted blocks in closest proximity to neighbouring properties to the north, east and south of the application site. 8.19 With regards to the potential impact on neighbouring properties to the application drawing H486-14M shows that the impact would be minimal, and it is therefore considered any impact felt would not be so significant to warrant a refusal in this case. Page 21 of 154
Page 22
8.20 In terms of any potential impacts to the privacy of neighbouring properties, to ensure that a reasonable standard of privacy is maintained minimum distance are required between proposed and existing properties. For windows that are directly facing each other a minimum distance of 18m (for residential properties) is usually required. With regards to the Rosehall Surgery building, Block C is located approximately 7m from the rear wall of the Surgery building. Whilst it is noted that the distance between the directly facing windows of Block C are less than 18m, it is considered that given, the non-residential use of the building, the applicant’s proposed boundary fencing and heavy vegetation to the rear garden of the Surgery will minimise any potential privacy impacts. With regards to the privacy of neighbouring properties along Parkside Road, should Blocks A and B be constructed the distance between these Blocks and the Parkside Road properties will be at least 22m, which is 4m over the minimum distance of 18m required for residential properties. For the property at 60 Rosehall Road, the distance between the nearest facing proposed block, Block L is at least 28m. It is therefore considered that whilst there may be some potential for overlooking into neighbouring properties, given the distance between neighbouring properties and the proposed development, any issues with privacy would be minimal and would not be sufficient to warrant a refusal in this case. 8.21 With regards to flooding and drainage, the applicant has provided a Drainage and Water Management Strategy and a Flood Risk Modelling Report which have been reviewed by SEPA. The Drainage and Water Management Strategy advises that there is no indication of any fluvial flooding risk within the site. In terms of surface water flooding, when flooding occurs it usually following intensive and prolonged rain. The Drainage and Water Management Strategy advises that with the implementation of a mitigating surface water drainage scheme as part of the development there would be no risk of surface water flooding. SEPA initially raised concerns regarding the proposed earthworks towards the western boundary of the application site along which the Curry Burn flows. However, following the submission of the Drainage and Water Management Strategy and a Flood Risk Modelling Report (both by the JNP Group) SEPA has withdrawn its objection to the proposed development and is satisfied that proposal is in accordance with NPF4 Policy 22 a) Flood risk and water management. As part of the proposed development the applicant proposes a surface water drainage scheme and should this application be approved, a condition requiring the submission of full details of the proposed surface water drainage scheme for approval prior to works beginning on site should be attached to any permission. A further condition requiring confirmation that the approved surface water drainage scheme has been completed prior to the occupation of any residential dwelling would also be attached to any permission. 8.22 In terms of landscaping and biodiversity, as discussed above an Extended Phase I Habitat Survey, Protected Species Assessment and Ground Level Tree Survey/Visual Assessment (all by Acorna Ecology Ltd) these were submitted by the applicant for this application. These reports advise that the proposed development is located out with any designated nature conservation sites and do not appear to include any protected species such as otters, badgers and water voles. It may however be home to roosting bats. The site does include Japanese Knotweed and Giant Hogweed; however, the full extent of these invasive species needs to be determined. The Greenspace Development Service has advised that an updated Extended Phase I Habitat Survey and Protected Species Assessment should be submitted prior to the undertaking of any works on site should this application be approved. Conditions requiring the submission of an updated Extended Phase I Habitat Survey and Protected Species Assessment (including bat surveys) prior to the undertaking of any works on site (including the removal of vegetation) should be attached to any permission. Conditions in relation to the implementation of any recommendations within these updated reports should also be attached to any permission. Further conditions requiring the submission of reports detailing the exact location of Japanese Knotweed and Giant Hogweed within the application site as well eradication proposals should also be attached to any permission. Page 22 of 154
Page 23
8.23 As part of the proposed development the applicant has submitted a landscaping proposal (drawing H486-05J) which details the proposed landscape planting and boundary treatments for the development. The council’s Greenspace Development Service has reviewed the landscape proposals and have advised that it is satisfied with the information provided so far and has advised that a further detailed planting schedule and biodiversity enhancement proposal scheme be provided, should this application be approved, conditions requiring the submission of this information should be attached to any permission. The Greenspace Development Service have also advised that should this application be approved, conditions ensuring the full implementation and thereafter maintenance of the proposed landscaping be attached to any permission. Whilst it is noted that some boundary treatment information has been submitted, should this application be approved a condition requiring the submission of the full details of the design and location of all fences and walls within the development should be attached to any permission including one that relates to the implementation of the fences and walls within the development. 8.24 With regards to the traffic and transportation aspects of policy EDQ 3, the council’s Roads Development Service has no objection to the proposed development and have provided comments in relation to the proposed access onto Rosehall Road, proposed footways, parking provision, and the development’s internal road layout. It is noted that the footway along the west side of Rosehall Road is discontinuous and only fronts a limited number of existing residential properties. The Roads Development Service has advised that a 3m wide footway should be provided to the frontage of the application site as shown on drawing H486-02R. The Roads Development Service has also advised that a visibility splay of 4.5m by 60m should be provided at the new access on Rosehall Road. Conditions to ensure the implementation of the proposed access and visibility splay onto Rosehall Road and the 3m wide footway should be attached to any permission if this application is approved. A condition to ensure the completion of the development’s internal road layout should also be attached to any permission. 8.25 Policy EDQ 3 also includes the requirement for the assessment of and (where necessary) the mitigation of noise/air pollutants or pollution impacts caused either by the development or within the development site. The council’s Pollution Control Service has advised that should this application be approved conditions relating to the submission of site investigation information and the implementation and verification of any necessary remedial works should be attached to any permission. In terms of potential noise impacts, Pollution Control required that a noise impact assessment should be undertaken by the applicant which should consider whether any noise mitigation measures are required to mitigate nearby noise generating properties such as a band hall on Rosehall Road. A Noise Impact Assessment by Sharps Redmore dated 21st December 2023 was submitted. Following a review of this Noise Impact Assessment Pollution Control has advised that advised that the methodology and conclusions of the report are acceptable and no additional noise mitigation measures (such as any particular glazing specifications) are required other than the planned building and garden plot layouts detailed within the submitted drawings. 8.26 Taking into account the assessment above it is considered that the proposed development would be consistent with policies EDQ 1, EDQ 2 and EDQ 3. 8.27 As it is considered that the proposed development is complies with development plan policy and in particular policies 3, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 22 of NPF 4 and policies PP 3 and AD 3 General Urban Area, PROT A Category 5, EDQ 1, EDQ2 and EDQ 3 of the North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2022, it is considered that this application should be approved in accordance with Section 25 as there are any other material considerations that suggest it should be refused. 8.28 Following the advertisement and neighbour notification of this application 24 objections (including several from the same household) and a single neutral representation were. A number of the issues raised by objectors (including impacts on privacy and daylight to neighbouring properties, noise and mining legacy) have been discussed above with further objections raised highlighted below. Page 23 of 154
Page 24
8.29 Concerns in relation to Rosehall Road including potential increase vehicle traffic, the railway bridge, pedestrian safety and the condition of Rosehall Road have been raised. Response: As set out above, the council’s Roads Development Service has been consulted regarding this application and no concerns regarding the potential increased traffic to Rosehall Road, impact on the bridge or the condition of Rosehall Road have been raised by NLC Roads Development Service. With regards to pedestrian safety, the applicant proposes a 3m wide footway along the frontage of the application site which the Roads Development Service have advised should be conditioned if this application is approved. 8.30 Concerns in relation to the developments impact on wildlife within the site, the loss of greenspace, loss of trees and presence of Japanese knotweed have also been raised. Response: It is noted that the application site originally included an area of land to the west of the Curry Burn which is designated as part of the Countryside within the NLLDP. As no development has been proposed the applicant has restricted the application site boundary to the area where development would occur. The applicant has submitted an Extended Phase I Habitat Survey, Protective Species Assessment and Ground Level Tree Survey/Visual Assessment as part of this application and proposes landscaping and enhancement measures as part of the development. The council’s Greenspace Development Service has been consulted regarding the proposed development and have no objection to the development. Further details of the council’s Greenspace Development Service’s comments are outlined above. With regards to Japanese Knotweed, it is the responsibility of the applicant to prevent its spread and take any necessary remedial action. Should this application be approved conditions requiring the submission of reports detailing the exact location of Japanese Knotweed and Giant Hogweed within the application site as well eradication proposals would also be attached to any permission. 8.31 The concerns raised regarding potential drainage, flooding (including impact on the Curry Burn). Response: The proposed development includes proposals for drainage provision and both Scottish Water and SEPA have been consulted regarding this application. Conditions to ensure the submission of a detailed drainage scheme and its subsequent implementation should be attached to any permission. Furthermore, it is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that this provision complies with the relevant requirements of both Scottish Water and SEPA. 8.32 The objectors have raised concerns regarding the overdevelopment of Shotts and that the development as proposed represents an overdevelopment of the site. Concerns regarding the design and composition of the development have also been raised. Response: As part of our assessment of any application the siting; overall layout; density; form; scale; height; massing; proportion; detailing; colour; materials for the proposed development are considered. In this case the proposed development is located within a site designated as part of the urban area and would enable a vacant brownfield site to be development. As detailed above it is considered that the scale, density, design and overall layout of the proposed development would be acceptable and would integrate successfully into the local and wider urban area. 8.33 The lack of social/affordable housing proposed within the site has been raised. Response: The need for social and affordable housing is an important issue and the council has an important part of play in ensuring availability. Policy CI Contributions to Infrastructure within the NLLDP sets out the council’s development plan policy on affordable housing which advises that for residential developments in the Cumbernauld Housing Sub-Market Area the council will seek to secure 20% affordable housing provision. Whilst the objector’s concerns regarding affordable housing provision is noted, no need for provision has been identified in this case. 8.34 Concerns regarding the lack of services within Shotts and the impact that the development would have on them are noted. Response: The proposed is located within walking distance of Shotts Town Centre which provides a variety of services for the community. It is considered that the future residents of the development could have a positive impact on these services with their additional footfall. Whilst the objector’s concerns regarding a lack of services in Shotts are noted, the provision of such services is outside the scope of this application. Page 24 of 154
Page 25
8.35 With regard to concerns about the council’s neighbour notification procedures for application, the objectors consider that the neighbour notification process and the timescale within which representations can be made as potentially discriminatory to those without access to the internet. Response: The advertisement and neighbour notification of this application has been undertaken in line with the statutory requirements of the planning legislation which have been set out nationally by the Scottish Government following appropriate wider consultation. 8.36 Other concerns were raised by objectors including potential impact on existing views, impact on mental health, potential increase of vermin due to the development, Speeding on Rosehall Road, impacts caused by construction (dirt, dust, road closures, noise), possible anti-social behaviour due to the development and potential damage to neighbouring properties. Response: Whilst it is appreciated that these issues are important to nearby occupiers, they do not represent material considerations which can be considered as part of the assessment of this application. 8.37 It is considered that, in this instance, the concerns raised by objectors do not represent material considerations that are so significant that would warrant a refusal in this case. 9. Conclusions 9.1 The proposal is considered acceptable in terms of the development plan and meets the criteria set out within policies PP 3 and AD 3, PROT A Category 5, EDQ 1, EDQ2 and EDQ 3 of the North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2022. The proposed residential development can be incorporated within urban site without having a detrimental impact on the character and amenity of the site and wider area. 9.2 The proposed development also complies with policies 3, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 22 of NPF 4 as it utilises an area of vacant urban brownfield land, providing opportunities for landscaping and biodiversity enhancement and sustainable travel to and from the application site and wider Shotts area.

North Lanarkshire Council Report Planning Committee Does this report require to be approved? ☒ Yes ☐ No Ref Date 05/12/24 North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan – Delivery Programme From Pamela Humphries, Chief Officer (Place) E-mail laingg@northlan.gov.uk Telephone Gordon Laing, 07970018874 1. Background 1.1 The North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan (NLLDP) was adopted in July 2022. Following adoption of the NLLDP, the Action Programme was finalised in September 2022. The Action Programme sets out actions to deliver the NLLDP. 1.2 The Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 (Commencement No.12 and Saving and Transitional Provisions) Regulations amended the process of preparing an Action Programme. The 2019 Act renames Action Programmes as Delivery Programmes. This is to more Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to seek Planning Committee approval of the North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan – Delivery Programme. The purpose of this document is to set out how North Lanarkshire Council propose to implement the adopted North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan. The Delivery Programme will play a key part in supporting the actions required to take forward the Plan and in doing so will help to drive and co-ordinate the actions and activities of a range of agencies and organisations. Recommendations It is recommended that the Committee: 1) Agrees the Delivery Programme appended to this report for publishing and sending to the Scottish Ministers. The Plan for North Lanarkshire Priority All priorities Ambition statement All ambition statements Programme of Work All Programmes of Work Item 3 Page 27 of 154
Page 28
accurately describe and emphasise the purpose of the document, which is to deliver and achieve outcomes, rather than monitor specific actions. 1.3 In June 2024, a letter from the Chief Planner (Scottish Government) was sent to all planning authorities regarding action and delivery programmes. This letter outlined that Scottish Ministers require planning authorities to review their current action programmes for constituted local development plans and update these and publish it as a delivery programme. Ministers expect local authorities to have this complete by 31 March 2025. 1.4 The council is now required to review, update, consult and re-publish the Action Programme as a Delivery Programme. This will be the first Delivery Programme for North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan (2022) and replaces the Action Programme 2022. 1.5 Preparation of the new North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2 (NLLPD2) is now underway. This will be a transitional Delivery Programme, until we are in position to update and publish a Delivery Programme which will align with and be prepared from the outset of the new North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2 (NLLDP2). Delivery Programmes prepared for NLLDP2 will be presented to full council for approval, as required under the new Regulations. Housing Delivery in Scotland & North Lanarkshire Context 1.6 Although not the sole purpose of new style delivery programme, the delivery of housing is a key aspect of them and their preparation. More detail on the inclusion of housing land pipelines in such programmes was addressed in a ministerial statement and Planning and the Housing Emergency – Delivery Plan published on 12th November 2024. The context for the statement is that across Scotland there are sites with planning permission that could deliver more than 164,000 homes but aren’t and setting out measures to identify the reasons for this and actions to be taken to support delivery. 1.7 Across North Lanarkshire there are currently 69 sites, in our land supply, with unimplemented planning permission that could deliver 8,266 homes as well as 61 sites allocated for housing with capacity for 3,455 further homes but for which the owner or developer has not sought planning permission. 11 sites with a capacity for 2,374 homes currently have applications pending. 1.8 Sites with unimplemented permissions range from having a capacity between 4 – 1,058 units. 17 sites with a capacity of circa 100 units or more have a total capacity to deliver a further 6,512 units (79%). Average annual completions are currently around 1,100 units and recently there has been a significant contribution to this number from the Council’s drive to build 5,000 houses for social rent by 2035. Number of sites Total capacity Number of years from allocation or permission Sites size range (units) Active permissions (under construction) 46 4,339 2- 17 (permission) 4 – 535 Unimplemented permissions 69 8,266 0- 19 (permission) 4- 1,058 Page 28 of 154
Page 29
Allocations without permissions 72 5829 0- 18 (allocated) 4- 489 1,9 In recognition that we could introduce new support mechanisms for planned development the Council has set up its Invest Team in Planning and Place which will play a key role in facilitating development and investment in North Lanarkshire, including - providing bespoke advice to developers to assist coordinating and speeding up the statutory consent process; managing major planning applications in close collaboration with other council services and agencies; and taking a lead role in reviewing and enhancing the end-to-end process for statutory consents. 1.10 This initiative, and a survey of development sites detailed in section 2 of this report, was carried out in advance of this Government announcement of steps to identify the reasons for stalled sites and the setting up of a Housing Planning Hub to provide brokerage support for major housing developments which have stalled in the system including, for example, bringing planning authorities together with applicants and key agencies to identify any barriers which require additional information or action to overcome. 2. Report 2.1 The purpose of the Delivery Programme is to set out how North Lanarkshire Council propose to implement the adopted North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan, and in doing it sets out: - A list of actions required to deliver policies and proposals contained in the LDP, including, where appropriate, reference to NPF4 policies; - An explanation as to how those actions are to be undertaken; - The timescale for the conclusion of each action; and - The expected sequencing of, and timescales for, delivery of housing on sites allocated in the LDP. Deliverable Housing Land Pipeline 2.2 National Planning Framework 4 outlines that the Delivery Programme is expected to establish a deliverable housing land pipeline for the Local Housing Land Requirement, so that interventions, including infrastructure, that enable delivery can be planned. In line with the Scottish Government’s Local Development Planning Guidance, the annual Housing Land Audit will monitor the delivery of housing land to inform the pipeline and the actions to be taken in the Delivery Programme. 2.3 As part of the work for the preparation of this delivery programme and to inform our deliverable housing land pipeline we carried out a survey of housing sites to identify when they would be brought forward for development and what barriers there were to them being developed sooner. This work was initiated by the Council with the support of Homes for Scotland as part of our regular dialogue on housing matters and the programming of housing delivery. 2.4 To assist in these considerations we take account of Homes for Scotland’s Housing Land Audit Procedures paper which provides realistic standard assumptions on lead in timescales. These are: • The build time for a house is approximately 20 weeks. Page 29 of 154
Page 30
• From start on site to first lawful completion takes at least 9-12 months. This can take longer, however. • No start can be made on site until access and all statutory consents are in place. • It can take, on average, 24-36 months from submission of a planning application to the delivery of the first units4. Where the site is in the hands of a developer at the time of application, this timeframe may be shorter. 2.5 The paper also sets out realistic default assumptions (in the absence of ‘live’ information from a HfS member company) on maximum annual completions rates which are as follows: Type of Site Location Assumed Build out Rate Per Annum (Locational Marketability/Demand Must Be Considered)3 Detached/Semi- Detached Urban 30-40 Detached/Semi- Detached Rural 10-20 Flats Urban 35-60 Flats Rural 15-25 Consortium Sites 2 builders: 55-65 3 builders: 80-120 Small Sites Based on recorded previous completions over the past five years. 2.6 Sites at Section 2 of the Delivery Programme (proposed Housing Development Sites) are allocated as short (1-3 years), medium (4-6 years) and long-term (7-10 years) phasing. This replaces the ‘5-year effective housing land supply’ requirement which was previously set out in national policy. The HLA 2024 which has informed the deliverable housing land pipeline is included within appendix 1 of the Delivery Programme. Appendix 1 of the Delivery Programme sets out the full deliverable housing land pipeline for North Lanarkshire. All existing housing land supply sites (including NLLDP sites) will be reviewed as part of the new LDP process for NLLDP2 and the HLA 2024 presents the basis for this. Consultation and Responses 2.7 In preparing the Delivery Programme, key agencies, Scottish Ministers and internal Council services have been consulted. The Council has a duty to review the Delivery Programme and republish it every two years. 2.8 Several of the key agencies including Transport Scotland, SPT and NatureScot responded that they did not have any comments to make on the draft Delivery Programme. SEPA provided an update to their guidance, which has been reflected in the finalised Delivery Programme (Appendix 1). Scottish Water provided an update on specific sites and infrastructure, these updates have been reflected in the finalised Delivery Programme. 2.9 Homes for Scotland also provided comments, which in summary included: 1) that we reflect the finalised Housing Land Audit (HLA) for 2024 in the Delivery Programme. At the point of consultation of the draft Delivery Programme, the 2024 HLA was in draft form. This is nearing completion and will be replaced at Appendix 1 of the Delivery Programme to reflect the final HLA 2024. Page 30 of 154
Page 31
2) Additional comments highlighted the need for Delivery Programmes to include further detailed information on costs, infrastructure, and timescales, as well as site briefs and masterplans. It is important to note that the current Delivery Programme is a transitional document until the new North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2 (NLLDP2) is drafted. Through the preparation of NLLDP2, the council will be seeking and gathering the further information required for individual sites. Delivery Programmes should be developed alongside the new Local Development Plan from the beginning. NLLDP2 will require a comprehensive Delivery Programme, providing more site-specific information than the transitional one attached to the current NLLDP.

1 1. Introduction This is the first Delivery Programme for North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan (2022) and replaces the Action Programme 2022. The Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 (Commencement No.12 and Saving and Transitional Provisions) Regulations amended the process of preparing an Action Programme. The council is now required to review, update, consult and re-publish the Action Programme as a Delivery Programme. The purpose of this document is to set out how North Lanarkshire Council propose to implement the adopted North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan, and in doing so it sets out: • a list of actions required to deliver policies and proposals contained in the LDP; • an explanation as to how those actions are to be undertaken; • the timescale for the conclusion of each action; and • the expected sequencing of, and timescales for, delivery of housing on sites allocated by the LDP. The Delivery Programme will play a key part in supporting the actions required to take forward the Plan and in doing so will help to drive and co-ordinate the actions and activities of a range of agencies and organisations. In preparing the Delivery Programme, key agencies, Scottish Ministers and internal Council departments have been consulted. The Council will review the Delivery Programme and republish it every two years. This will be a transitional Delivery Programme, until we are in position to update and publish the next Delivery Programme which will align with the new North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2 (NLLDP2). The current timetable for the new NLLDP2 indicates that the associated NLLDP2 Delivery Programme will be published in draft for consultation in 2026. The North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan and accompanying documents can be viewed at: Current North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan | North Lanarkshire Council 2. North Lanarkshire Housing Delivery Pipeline Page 35 of 154
Page 36
2 National Planning Framework 4 outlines that the Delivery Programme is expected to establish a deliverable housing land pipeline for the Local Housing Land Requirement, so that interventions, including infrastructure, that enable delivery can be planned. Therefore sites at Section 2 (proposed Housing Development Sites) are split into short (1-3 years), medium (4-6 years) and long-term (7-10 years) phasing. This replaces the ‘5-year effective housing land supply’ requirement which was previously set out in national policy. The draft Housing Land Audit (HLA) 2024 has informed the deliverable housing land pipeline, this is attached at Appendix 1. All existing housing land supply sites (including NLLDP sites) will be reviewed as part of the new LDP process for NLLDP2 and the draft HLA 2024 presents the basis for this. The draft HLA 2024 (see Appendix 1) shows the current indicative pipeline programming of all housing sites within that audit. In line with the Scottish Government’s Local Development Planning Guidance, the annual housing land audit will monitor the delivery of housing land to inform the pipeline and the actions to be taken in the Delivery Programme. The Minimum All-Tenure Housing Land Requirement (MATHLR) for North Lanarkshire is identified in NPF4 (Annex E) as 7,350 units for a ten-year period, or 735 per year (annualised). This figure is the Local Housing Land Requirement (LHLR) for the purposes of monitoring delivery. 3. Format of Delivery Programme This Delivery Programme broadly aligns with the layout of the Local Development Plan, focusing on the implementation of Policies, the Area Strategies and Supplementary Guidance as set out in the order below: Section 1 Promoting and Protecting Policies - PROMote Development Locations and Infrastructure (PROM) - PROTecting Assets (PROT) Placemaking Policies - Purpose of Place (PP) - Amount of Development (AD) - Contributions to Infrastructure (CI) - Environmental & Design Qualities (EDQ) Page 36 of 154

14 CI Contributions to Infrastructure Secure developer contributions for new developments that, individually or cumulatively, generate a requirement for new or enhanced infrastructure or services. Affordable Housing - 20% affordable housing provision is sought in Cumbernauld Housing Sub-Market Area. Education - Requirement for contributions towards educational infrastructure for all new residential development proposals resulting in 5 or more dwellings, on a case-by-case basis, where an identified need has been demonstrated. Transport - Full details of any transport infrastructure will be identified by the Council as Transport Authority on a case- by-case basis through the Development Management process. Green Infrastructure, Amenity Space and Play - For all forms of development, a contribution towards the creation of green infrastructure, amenity space and/or the provision of play infrastructure may be expected. Planning & Place Team Ongoing Ongoing Associated Affordable Housing Supplementary Guidance was adopted in 2023. In accordance with the provisions of NPF4 Policy 16 e) (ii) this SG sets out locations or circumstances where a lower contribution is justified (20% applicable Cumbernauld Housing Sub-Market Area). Education Contributions Supplementary Guidance is currently being prepared. Page 48 of 154

When applicable, an assessment of how constraints affect the site is required to accompany planning application. Planning & Place Team Ongoing Planning and Noise Supplementary Guidance was adopted in 2023. EDQ 3 Environmental & Design Qualities: Quality of Development Promote and achieve high standards of site planning and sustainable design. Planning applications will require to take account of the Site Appraisal required by Policies EDQ1 and, if appropriate, EDQ2, assets protected under Policy PROT, any evaluation of design options, and achieves high quality development.

16 Section 2: Area Strategies The tables below highlight possible actions and issues to be addressed prior to obtaining planning permission, in relation to the proposed development sites in the Local Development Plan (confirmed by Examination). However, it should be noted that this list is not exhaustive, and any applicant should contact Development Management for up-to-date information on what may or may not require to be submitted with a planning application. Applicants will always be advised to contact utility or infrastructure providers to obtain up-to-date advice on current requirements and standards. The Development Management process may require relevant site investigations to determine land conditions. The process should also be used to alleviate, mitigate and avoid adverse impacts on the immediate and surrounding environment. Also outlined below are the ‘Transport Improvements’ listed under each Area Strategy, most of which are related to the Glasgow City Region City Deal Infrastructure Fund. For the purpose of clarification and completion, where sites included in the Local Development Plan have since been granted planning permission (or minded to grant subject to planning permission subject to Section 75 Agreement), this has been noted within the tables. It is not expected further actions are required for the purpose of this Delivery Programme, other than the completion of a Section 75 Agreement where specified. Further Information/Developer Advice The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency’s (SEPA) Future Flood Maps can be used to identify areas at risk of flooding to help ensure a precautionary approach is taken to flood-risk from all sources. National Planning Framework 4 defines ‘at risk of flooding or in a flood risk area’ as land or built form with an annual probability of being flooded of greater than 0.5% which must include an appropriate allowance for future climate change. This risk of flooding is indicated on SEPA’s future flood maps or may need to be assessed in a flood risk assessment. An appropriate allowance for climate change should be taken from the latest available guidance and evidence available for application in Scotland. SEPA is a statutory consultee in the planning process and applicants will always be advised to consult with SEPA on matters pertinent to flood risk.

NatureScot work to improve the natural environment in Scotland, ensuring it is maintained and enhanced to the benefit of all. When bringing forward development proposals, consideration should be given to any potential impacts on the natural environment. NatureScot provide useful planning and development advice for developers which can be found here - www.nature.scot/professional-advice/planning-and-development Coal Authority - Much of North Lanarkshire has been subject to coal mining activity, which can result in unstable land. If a site falls within a high risk area then a risk assessment prepared by a competent person needs to accompany your planning application. This may identify the need for intrusive site investigations and/or remediation measures prior to development. Historic Environment Scotland (HES) - Developers should give consideration to potential impacts on the historic environment when bringing forward proposals. This should be supported by an assessment where impacts on the areas historic environment are likely. Scottish Power - There is some general guidance that developers should be aware of when considering development near infrastructure. Energy Networks Association (ENA) Technical Specification 43-8 provides details of overhead line clearances that should be maintained. The Health & Safety Executive has also produced guidance for working near overhead power lines (HSG6) and underground services (HSG47). We would expect that careful consideration is given to potential impact on infrastructure at all stages. Scottish Water - Developers must consider Scottish Water’s Surface Water Policy when designing for Brownfield sites and appropriate above ground sustainable surface water drainage must be incorporated into early design of new developments as connection to combined networks is not promoted. Scottish Water encourage early engagement with developers to identify where suitable capacity exists currently and to consider any likely extended delivery timescales in other locations where significant engineering or investment is required by Scottish Water. Design principles and guidance should incorporate water sensitivity into development proposals at all scales. Page 51 of 154

The SFRA identifies 12 Potentially Vulnerable Areas (PVAs)* that fall entirely or partially within the administrative boundaries of North Lanarkshire and shown below in Figure 1 and listed as follows: • 02/10/10 Falkirk and Grangemouth • 02/10/13 Livingston, Broxburn and Bathgate • 02/10/15 West Calder and Fauldhouse • 02/10/16 Slamannan • 02/11/04 River Kelvin • 02/11/06 Glasgow City North • 02/11/07 Luggie Water catchment • 02/11/09 Coatbridge and Airdrie • 02/11/10 East of Glasgow to Strathaven • 02/11/11 Clyde catchment – Motherwell to Larkhall • 02/11/13 Shotts • 02/11/14 North of Wishaw *It should be noted that PVAs are subject to review and therefore may change. In addition, PVAs cover 82% of North Lanarkshire. Flooding may affect other communities outside of the established PVA boundaries and the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment relates to North Lanarkshire in its entirety. Page 53 of 154

North Lanarkshire Council Report Planning Committee Does this report require to be approved? ☒ Yes ☐ No Ref Date 05/12/24 Development Plan Scheme & Participation Statement 2024 Update From Pamela Humphries, Chief Officer (Place) E-mail laingg@northlan.gov.uk Telephone Gordon Laing, 07970018874 1. Background 1.1 The current North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan (NLLDP) was Adopted in July 2022. The NLLDP sets out where development should and should not happen by guiding the future use of land at a local level. It is also a key consideration in the decision-making on planning applications. Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to seek Committee approval of the Development Plan Scheme & Participation Statement (DPS) 2024 update. The DPS outlines the Council’s programme for preparing and reviewing the new North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2 (NLLDP2) and when, how and with whom consultation will take place. Recommendations It is recommended that the Committee: 1) Agrees the Development Plan Scheme and Participation Statement 2024 2) Notes the consultation undertaken and progress to date in the preparation of the new North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2. The Plan for North Lanarkshire Priority Enhance participation, capacity, and empowerment across our communities Ambition statement (7) Enhance collaborative working to maximise support and ensure all our children and young people are included, supported, and safe (10) Engage with children, young people, parents, carers, and families to help all children and young people reach their full potential (19) Improve engagement with communities and develop their capacity to help themselves (20) Improve the involvement of communities in the decisions, and development services and supports, that affect them Programme of Work All Programmes of Work Item 4 Page 111 of 154

1.2 Changes to the planning system in Scotland, led by the passing of the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 which sets out the future structure of the modernised planning system, included changes to the arrangements for the preparation of development plans. Subsequent secondary legislation The Town and Country Planning (Development Planning) (Scotland) Regulations 2023 and Local Development Planning Guidance came into force in May 2023. 1.3 The DPS (including Participation Statement) is an important communication tool which outlines the Council’s programme for preparing and reviewing the next North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan (NLLDP2) and when, how and with whom consultation will take place. The Council has a statutory duty to prepare and publish a DPS annually. 1.4 The DPS sets out a timetable which anticipates that NLLDP2 will be on track for Adoption in advance of the Regulations and Guidance expectation of May 2028. 2. Report 2.1 Following the commencement of the Regulations and publication of Guidance in May 2023, the DPS was revised in line with these requirements and the current DPS was approved by the council in September 2023. This also signalled the start of the new process for NLLDP2. The Regulations and Guidance were used to help produce an engagement strategy that is inclusive of all stakeholders and ensures that we are engaging in the most effective way. 2.2 As the council is required to update this document annually, an updated Development Plan Scheme & Participation Statement for 2024 has been prepared. 2.3 The DPS includes: • proposed timetabling, including timings for various key stages of NLLDP2 preparation, to be specified by the proposed year and financial quarter. Key stages to be covered are: publication of the Evidence Report; publication of the Proposed Plan; submission of the Proposed Plan to the Scottish Ministers; and expected adoption of NLLDP2. • details of what is involved in each stage; and • a Participation Statement, outlining when consultation is likely to take place, with whom and its likely form, including the steps to be taken to involve the public. 2.4 Updated timescales The first key stage in preparing the new NLLDP2, is gathering of evidence and submission of an Evidence Report to the Scottish Government for review. Following a review of other local authority Evidence Reports already submitted to the government, two local authorities have been given the go-ahead to progress to the next stage (Proposed Plan) and two have not and will require to re-submit their Evidence Reports. 2.5 Having taken time to review these and learn from our partner authorities, we have re- assessed where additional evidence may require to be gathered and identified additional consultation. The additional tasks present a challenge in terms of resourcing these gaps, and therefore it is proposed to extend the timescale in the DPS for submission of the councils Evidence Report from Jan-Mar 2025 to Jul-Sept 2025. This will allow for a more sufficient evidence base to be gathered and ensure that effective and meaningful consultation and engagement with all our stakeholders and communities is carried out.

2.6 Review of progress The updated DPS includes an appendix outlining what consultation and engagement has been undertaken to date including providing updates to elected members, consulting widely on national planning policy topics for the purpose of evidence gathering, joint working approach with SLC to engage with Gypsy and Travellers communities and Health boards, updates presented to Access Panel and Voice of Experience groups, Local Place Plan invitations to prepare issued to community groups and information sharing session undertaken, newsletter prepared and issued widely and publicising of the plan shared on social media platforms. 2.7 Work is ongoing to carry out the remainder of consultation identified within the DPS, including a Place Standard Survey, engagement with children and young people, and focussed themed workshops to further enhance the outcomes and understanding of our evidence gathering. 2.8 Following Committee approval and adoption of the updated Development Plan Scheme & Participation Statement for 2024, it will be submitted to the Scottish Ministers, published online and a copy placed in all North Lanarkshire public libraries. 3. Measures of success 3.1 An effective engagement strategy which is inclusive of all our stakeholders, raising awareness of and opportunity to contribute to the Local Development Plan among stakeholders, key groups and the public at large. 3.2 Implementation of a statutory function, as required by the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019. 4.

2 Section1: Development Plan Scheme 1 What is a Development Plan Scheme (DPS)? A Development Plan Scheme (DPS) is an important communication tool which sets out the programme for the preparation of our next Plan - North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2 (NLLDP2) – and lets stakeholders know when and how they can get involved in the plan and keep informed of progress. This is reviewed and updated annually and is available to view on the council’s website. The second part of this document also sets out a Participation Statement, outlining how, when and with whom the council intends to engage and consult on NLLDP2. 2 The Statutory Development Plan for North Lanarkshire The Development Plan sets out where development should and should not happen by guiding the future use of land at a local, regional and national level. These plans are a key consideration in the decision- making on planning applications. Development planning in Scotland is undergoing significant change. Previously, the development plan consisted of the Strategic Development Plan (Clydeplan Strategic Development Plan) and the Local (Development) Plan (North Lanarkshire Local Plan 2012) as well as a suite of Supplementary Planning Guidance notes. Changes introduced by the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 statutory Development Plan now consists of the National Planning Framework (NPF4) and the Local Development Plan (NLLDP) as demonstrated in figure 1. Figure 1. Statutory Development Plan/Related Plans (Local Development Planning Guidance, The Scottish Government) Page 118 of 154
Page 119
3 3 Existing Local Development Plan The council adopted the North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan (NLLDP) in July 2022, replacing the North Lanarkshire Local Plan 2012. It contains a spatial strategy, proposals map, action programme for identified developments and schedule of the local authority’s land interests affected by Plan policies or proposals. It focuses on specific proposals for the period of 10 years from adoption. NLLDP is integrated with Council and Partner statutory plans and strategies affecting the development of land. The plan also identifies Supplementary Guidance (SG) to complement existing policy within NLLDP and provide further guidance on specific topic matters. Planning and Noise SG, Affordable Housing SG and Frontiers of the Roman Empire (Antonine Wall) World Heritage Site SG have been adopted by the Council and are available online. Education Contributions SG is currently being prepared by the council. 4 New Local Development Plan & Changes The new development planning system has introduced a new process for the preparation of LDPs. The Local Development Planning Guidance 2023 outlines 3 key parts to the Local Development Plan process (also shown in figure 2 from the guidance) – Evidence Gathering of data and information to inform the plan followed by a Gate Check by the Scottish Government, Plan preparation including production of a Proposed Plan and its Examination, followed by; Delivery including subsequent adoption of the plan and a Delivery Programme as well as ongoing monitoring. Figure 2. LDP Process – Overview (Fig.4 of Local Development Planning Guidance, Scottish Government) In addition, preparation of Local Place Plans, Strategic Environmental Assessment and other Appraisals/Assessments are also important statutory elements of an LDP. The requirement for the preparation of strategic development plans (SDPs) is removed and instead introduces the requirement for planning authorities, working alone, or in partnership with two or more planning authorities to form strategic partnerships, to prepare and adopt a Regional Spatial Strategy. A planning authority must adopt a Regional Spatial Strategy as soon as practicable after this part of the Act comes into force and the Government has the power to direct planning authorities to prepare and adopt such strategies. Regional Spatial Strategies will inform the NPF and Local Development Plans. The NPF and Local Development Plans are to be prepared at least every 10 years rather than every 5 years. Page 119 of 154
Page 120
4 A further significant change is the introduction of the right for communities to come together and prepare Local Place Plans (LPPs). Before preparing a Local Development Plan, a Planning Authority must invite local communities in their district to prepare LPPs, stating the date by which they must be prepared and details of the assistance available for local communities to prepare LPPs. In preparing its LDP the planning authority must have regard to LPPs. Other changes introduced by the Act includes requirements for Development Plans for the carrying out of Play Sufficiency Assessments and preparation of Open Space Strategies to inform the LDP. 5 North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2 Following adoption of the current NLLDP in 2022, preparation is now underway for NLLDP2. The table below (Table 1: NLLDP2 Indicative Timetable) outlines the proposed key stages alongside estimated timeframes for completion of each stage and what is required at each stage. It should be noted that the Gate Check and Examination process and time to complete each of these are outwith the council’s control. Annual DPS updates will reflect any impact of these stages as they are completed. The stages outlined in Table 1 are those which are identified in the Scottish Government’s Local Development Planning Guidance. Technical Reports & Impact Assessments As part of the Evidence Report and its preparation, a wide range of topics will be covered. This will include preparing a number of technical reports to support the evidence base. This list of reports may include, but is not limited to: SEA Scoping Report Housing Infrastructure & Services Capacity Transport Appraisal Play Sufficiency Assessment Additional assessments will also be undertaken to support the NLLDP2 preparation. These will help to inform and be informed by the plan whilst under preparation and includes: Strategic Environmental Assessment; Equalities Impact Assessment; Public Sector Equality Duty Assessment; Fairer Scotland Duty Assessment; and Habitats Regulations Appraisal Table 1 below includes details of estimated timings for the SEA and additional assessments. In preparing the LDP the council will also have regard to the following plans and strategies: - the national waste management plan - the national marine plan - any regional marine plan - any river basin management plan - any flood risk management plan - any local flood risk management plan - any regional transport strategy - any local transport strategy - any local housing strategy - any open space strategy; Page 120 of 154

During this time, the Local (Development Planning) (Scotland) Regulations 2023 and subsequent Local Development Planning Guidance 2023 came into force. The content of both has allowed for the DPS to be more focused in terms of timescales and more clearly identify the expectations for the preparation of NLLDP2. The Council has recently reviewed Evidence Reports from other local authorities already submitted to the Scottish Government. This has allowed us to learn from our partner authorities and we have re-assessed where additional evidence may require to be gathered and identified additional consultation. The additional tasks present a challenge in terms of resourcing these gaps, and therefore the timescale for submission of the councils Evidence Report has been extended from Quarter 4 2024 (Jan-Mar 2024) to Quarter 2 2025 (Jul-Sept 2025). The overall timescale for preparation and adoption of the new NLLDP2 remains unaltered. Page 124 of 154

9 Section 2: Participation Statement 1 What is a Participation Statement? Stakeholders, including the wider public, have an important role in shaping their Plan and their views are an important aspect in the preparation of the plan. This section will outline when consultation is likely to take place, who we propose to engage with and how we propose to undertake it. 2 Our consultation aims The North Lanarkshire Framework for Engagement reflects a commitment to working with communities across a range of engagement opportunities and approaches. The updated National Standards for Community Engagement reflect the developing policy and legislative context for community empowerment in Scotland. This includes 7 Standards, outlined in figure 3 as Inclusion; Support; Planning; Working Together; Methods; Communication; and Impact. These standards can be used for community engagement to develop a working relationship between the council and community organisations to achieve positive outcomes. Our overall approach to engagement will be shaped by these standards and we will strive to ensure that we work with all of our stakeholders to engage in the most suitable way. This Participation Statement identifies the key stages where we will undertake consultation in the preparation of NLLDP2. At times there may also be other significant consultations underway by other organisations or other departments within the council. We will aim to take account of these where possible to reduce consultation fatigue where the targeted stakeholders would result in a similar audience to that of the NLLDP2 consultations. Figure 3. National Standards for Community Engagement – 7 Standards Page 125 of 154
Page 126
10 3 Who can participate? The council will aim to involve a wide range of stakeholders in the preparation of NLLDP2. Figure 4 identifies a range of stakeholders who we will aim to engage with and involve in the preparation of the plan. This is not exhaustive and we are keen to involve anyone who has in interest in the plan. 4 When and how will we participate with you? In Table 2 below we have identified the key consultation stages, when we will expect them to happen and who we wish to target. We have also indicated possible engagement methods, however, we would like you to engage with us by telling us how you would prefer to be consulted by the council so that we can engage with you in the most effective way. They greyed-out text indicate those stages already undertaken. As the council progresses through the first stage of NLLDP2 preparation the consultation methods for publicity and engagement will develop and evolve depending on the nature of topics which require to be explored and the preferred methods and resources available for doing so.

17 5 How would you prefer to be contacted and involved? Table 2 above includes various proposed methods of engagement and publicising. Figure 5 pulls together a list of these suggested methods that we may use to keep you up to date and to consult with you on the preparation of NLLDP2. This is not exhaustive and whilst they are our suggested methods, we welcome feedback how best to engage with you during the preparation of NLLDP2. We will aim to ensure that we will publicise key stages of NLLDP2 preparation as widely as possible, thereby informing the public at large of key consultation stages to be able to have views on and input to the Plan. Resources may also influence both input to the plan by stakeholders and the methods used to engage. Whilst more modern methods of engaging and providing information are increasingly undertaken online, it is recognised that not everyone may wish to engage in that way or indeed readily have access to such facilities. We will endeavour to provide alternative methods of consulting and engaging where possible. Figure 5: Contact methods Our dedicated webpage for LDP2 will contain up-to-date information and will provide an interactive method for engaging Social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter to post updates throughout the plan preparation process and links to further information Email for updates and invite to participate. Sign up for updates from NLC planning service here - www.public.govdelivery.com/accounts/UKNLC/subscriber/new Workshops & meetings can be set up at convenient times and locations to present face-to-face and have discussions Adverts will be placed in local newspapers at key stages in the plan process as well as documents placed in libraries Open drop-in or specific stakeholder events may be a method of engaging with the general public or targeted groups A more specific or targeted approach may be required for certain harder to reach groups Page 133 of 154

18 6 Mediation The Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 introduced powers for mediation. Mediation can involve a range of techniques and is used to help build bridges between stakeholders and resolve issues of dispute. It is a voluntary process, generally between two parties, which can be facilitated by a third, independent party. Any requests for mediation will be considered and where necessary have regard to such requests in preparing the Participation Statement. Any potential use of mediation will be considered by the council, having regard to the issue at hand and the possible benefits of the mediation and the involvement of other parties. 7 Contact and future participation You can contact us at: localdevelopmentplan@northlan.gov.uk If you would like to be kept up to date on the plan as well as other aspects of the NLC planning service, please register here.

Local Development Plan (LDP) A local development plan (LDP) is a plan in which it is set out, for land in the part of the district to which it relates: a spatial strategy, being a detailed statement of the planning authority's policies and proposals as to the development and use of the land; such other matters as may be prescribed; and any other matter which the planning authority consider it appropriate to include. It forms part of the statutory development plan. Local Place Plans LPP is a community-led plan setting out proposals for the development and use of land and a community’s aspirations for its future development. Once registered they are to be taken into account in the preparation of the relevant LDP. National Planning Framework (NPF) Scotland’s fourth National Planning Framework (NPF4) is a long term plan looking to 2045 that guides spatial development, sets out national planning policies, designate national developments and highlight regional spatial priorities. It is part of the development plan, and so influences planning decisions across Scotland. Open Space Strategy (OSS) An open space strategy is to set out a strategic framework of the planning authority’s policies and proposals as to the development, maintenance and use of green infrastructure in their district, including open spaces and green networks. It must contain; an audit of existing open space provision, an assessment of current and future requirements, and any other matter which the planning authority consider appropriate.

21 Appendix 1 - Progress to date (December 2024) Plan Preparation With reference to Table 1 above, the council has completed Stage 1, 'Early Preparation.' This stage involved preparing the first Development Plan Scheme and Participation Statement in 2023 for the new North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2. Additionally, we have invited community groups to prepare a Local Place Plan. Progress is well underway for Stage 2, the 'Evidence Report.' The Council is identifying and assessing evidence-related topic papers for each policy area outlined in NPF4 and the Scottish Government's Local Development Planning Guidance. This ongoing exercise allows stakeholders to confirm whether we have identified the most relevant evidence and to provide any additional evidence they wish us to consider. Further engagement and consultation with stakeholders to collate, discuss, and agree on the evidence is ongoing. Table 3 Engagement and Consultation Completed below shows what exercises have been undertaken to date. All of this will help to inform the Evidence Report for submission to the Scottish Government in 2025. Further consultation still to take place includes issuing and publicising of a Place Survey, engagement with Youth Councillors/Youth Parliament/schools and workshops with stakeholders on key topics to further progress our evidence gathering and ensure all stakeholders are included.

North Lanarkshire Council Report Planning Committee Does this report require to be approved? ☒ Yes ☐ No Ref Date 05/12/24 Update to the Procedure for Dealing with Legacy Planning Applications From Pamela Humphries, Chief Officer (Place) E-mail bowdenl@northlan.gov.uk Telephone Lorna Bowden Tel: 07939280460 1. Background 1.1 One of the measures of planning performance measured by the Scottish Government through the annual Planning Performance Statistics is the number of legacy cases a planning authority is dealing with. A legacy case is any application which is more than one-year-old. Each year the service is required to report on the number of cases cleared and the number of cases remaining. Executive Summary This report sets out an updated procedure for handling existing and future applications which have an interim “minded to grant” decision subject to the conclusion of a required legal agreement. It puts forward arrangements which will reduce delays in concluding legal agreements before planning permission decision notices can be issued and improve the Council’s performance figures. This procedure was previously approved by Committee in February 2022, however, in the light of recent legal advice the procedure requires to be refreshed. Recommendations It is recommended that the Planning Committee approves the proposed procedures set out in in the report for dealing with Legacy cases.

1.2 One of the main reasons for applications taking more than one year for a decision to be issued is that the application has been considered by the Committee or by the authorised officer and the decision is minded to grant, subject to the applicant entering into a legal agreement with the Council. Frequently these legal agreements take some time to be concluded, and, in some rare cases, the applicant does not conclude the agreement at all. 1.3 As an application is not formally determined until a decision notice granting or refusing planning permission is issued, these delays cause uncertainty over whether a development will take place and when it will be undertaken. 2. Report 2.1 The Scottish Government sets targets for the time taken to determine different types of planning applications and it requires Local Authorities to demonstrate that they have taken steps to reduce the number of applications which have not been determined for several years. 2.2 As can be seen in the annual performance report for the Planning Service for 2023/24, there are currently 68 legacy cases sitting with the service and 8 of these are awaiting legal agreements being signed off, none of which are older than one year. The remainder are dormant applications that have been undetermined for more than 12 months and which the applicant has declined to withdraw when requested. 2.3 In February 2022 the Committee approved the introduction of a procedure for addressing the problem of existing applications which remain “minded to grant” subject to the conclusion of a required legal agreement. This procedure which required legal agreements to be concluded within a six-month period. Thereafter the report will be sent back to the committee with a likely recommendation that the application be refused or, if it was a delegated decision, the application will be refused. The 6-month period to conclude the agreement is only extended in exceptional circumstances and at the Planning and Place Manager’s discretion. Along with the introduction of a standard template for legal agreements has assisted in reducing the number of cases with outstanding legal agreements. This procedure has helped to reduce the number of cases where there is an unsigned legal agreement. 2.3 Undetermined Legacy Applications 2.3.1 As the Committee knows, as a Service we will work with applicants to make their applications acceptable and in some cases, this can prolong the determination timescale. However, there are a number of legacy applications lying dormant because the applicant has not agreed to update the supporting information needed to allow the application to be fully considered. 2.3.2 An exercise has been carried out where applicants have been contacted and asked to enter into a Planning Processing Agreement to set out when the required information will be submitted, or alternatively to withdraw their application. Where the applicant has failed to agree to either of these steps their application will now be determined on the basis of the information currently held, which may result in the application being recommended for refusal on the basis that insufficient information is available. This will be particularly significant for those applications submitted prior to 13 February 2023 when NPF4 was introduced as part of the Development Plan, as some applications that might have been in accordance with the previous Development Plan will now fail to meet the terms of the new policy framework.

North Lanarkshire Council Report Planning Committee Does this report require to be approved? ☒ Yes ☐ No Ref LB Date 05/12/24 Planning and Place Performance Report 2023/24 From Pamela Humphries, Chief Officer (Place) E-mail bowdenl@northlan.gov.uk Telephone 07939 280460 1. Background 1.1 The Committee will be used to seeing the annual Planning Performance Framework (PPF) reports where we reported our performance on an annual basis. These reports were voluntary based on an agreement between the Scottish Government and the Heads of Planning Scotland (HOPS). The Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 introduced mandatory national performance monitoring and to oversee this process and to provide the planning authorities with advice on how to improve the performance of their functions, the role of National Planning Improvement Co-ordinator (NPIC) has been created within the Improvement Service. 1.2 The Planning Improvement Co-ordinator was appointed in September 2023 and has been collaborating with HOPS, planning authorities and other stakeholders to develop a suitable mechanism for implementing change. The priority has been to develop a new performance and improvement model that will build upon the lessons learned from Planning Performance Frameworks. Given this, a new National Planning Improvement Framework (NPIF) is being piloted. The key principles of NPIF are: Executive Summary The Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 introduced statutory reporting of the performance of Planning Authorities. This report seeks to inform the Committee of the feedback from the National Planning Improvement Coordinator on the outcome of the submission of the Planning and Place Service as part of the new National Planning Improvement Process and to update on the performance of the service against the key performance indicators for 2023-24. The report also sets out the improvement actions that the service has identified to focus on in the coming period. Recommendations It is recommended that the Committee consider the content of this report and endorse the actions being taken to improve performance and service delivery. The Plan for North Lanarkshire Priority Improve economic opportunities and outcomes Ambition statement All ambition statements Programme of Work Transforming Places Item 6 Page 147 of 154
Page 148
• A renewed focus on improvement. NPIF aims to use planning authorities’ self- assessment to identify areas of improvement to inform an improvement action plan. • Peer Collaborative Review. Scottish Government marking will be replaced by peer review involving NPIC, other planning authorities and stakeholders. • Measuring quality. NPIF looks to incorporate indicators that better assess impacts, outcomes achieved, and the quality of the service provided. • A high performing planning authority. NPIF focusses on assessment against the attributes of a high performing planning authority such as: having the tools to do the job; engagement; people; culture; and place. • Recognising dependencies. NPIF aims to recognise that planning authorities depend on other people and organisations in delivering their service. • Resources. NPIF has been designed to be proportionate and not add to the demand on planning authorities’ resources. 1.3 As this is a new concept for planning authorities, the approach taken has been for authorities to pilot developing their new National Planning Improvement Frameworks and improvement action plans in three tranches over 2024/25. Ten volunteers took part in the first pilot group of authorities. Through this stage North Lanarkshire was partnered to work with Fife Council looking at sharing best practice. We have now completed this exercise and have received our feedback from the NPIC on our improvement action plan for 2024-25. The feedback confirmed the improvement action plan has been endorsed, and our new National Planning Improvement Framework is now published online. 1.4 The Scottish Government continues to publish Planning Application Statistics and the figures for the performance of the service are detailed in section two, below. 2. Report Key roles and responsibilities 2.1 The Planning Service is part of the Place Service and is established to: • Deliver a wide range of statutory planning functions including the Local Development Plan, assessing applications for new development, and facilitating place change. • Enable economic growth, further community wealth building, and protect and enhance North Lanarkshire’s built and natural environment. • Deliver some non-statutory planning functions, including planning enforcement. 2.2 The service has a key role in supporting delivery of The Plan for North Lanarkshire by facilitating new development to grow the council’s economic base. Performance KPIs 2.3 Every year the Scottish Government publishes statistics for the 34 Planning authorities, and these were produced in November 2024 for the 2023/24 reporting period.

The original decision was upheld in almost two-thirds of cases (59.2%). Service priorities for 2024/25 2.6 The service will continue to work to implement improvements across all performance indicators, as stated in paragraph 1.3 above, and to implement our improvement action plan. This improvement action plan has been developed with the assistance of a peer review group made up of a range of customers and the Convener of Planning and endorsed by the NPIC. 2.7 Overall, the performance of the service is considered to be good, but it has been identified that there are some areas where there is opportunity for development, and these are the focus of our improvement action plan for the 2024/25 period. Work on these actions is already well underway. 2.8 We identified the following actions as our key priorities in the coming year: • Introduce peer review on stagnant cases to establish solutions that could enable decision making. Page 150 of 154
Page 151
• Continue with our workforce planning by continuing to create opportunities for staff development and progression that will strengthen the team and prepare for future challenges, including the introduction of a graduate trainee planning post. • Realign existing staff structure to resource a new ‘Invest’ team that will take a multidisciplinary and phased approach to providing preapplication planning, roads, environmental health, business support and council land ownership advice and support for key projects. • Create planning officer working group to support the implementation of service improvement actions and the delivery of the National Planning Improvement Framework. • Implement Elected Members training in accordance with new legislation. • Work with partners, peer and national groupings to identify best practice to achieve best value in the efficient sharing and use of evidence for development implementation of North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan2. • We will participate in the national customer survey and analyse the results to allow us to prepare an improvement action plan. • Looking at feedback given through peer collaborative review, we will engage further with applicants, consultees and community organisations to develop an engagement strategy that will help us ensure we can share information, advice and feedback in a way that is tailored to suit customer and stakeholder needs and expectations. 3. Measures of success 3.1 The measures of success are not only in relation to the performance indicators that are set out in the tables in this report but are also more qualitative in terms of ensuring that the Planning service, through its engagement with applicants and other stakeholders, contributes to the delivery of good quality development in the right locations that facilitate delivery of The Plan for North Lanarkshire and the council’s Local Development Plan. 4.
