Appendix 1: Glossary

Affordable Housing	Social rented, affordable rented and intermediate housing, provided to eligible households whose needs are not met by the market. Eligibility is determined with regard to local incomes and local house prices. Affordable housing should include provisions to remain at an affordable price for future eligible households or for the subsidy to be recycled for alternative affordable housing provision. Social rented housing is owned by local authorities and private registered providers (as defined in section 80 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008), for which guideline target rents are determined through the national rent regime. It may also be owned by other persons and provided under equivalent rental arrangements to the above, as agreed with the local authority or with the Homes and Communities Agency. Affordable rented housing is let by local authorities or private registered providers of social housing to households who are eligible for social rented housing. Affordable Rent is subject to rent controls that require a rent of no more than 80% of the local market rent (including service charges, where applicable). Intermediate housing is homes for sale and rent provided at a cost above social rent, but below market levels subject to the criteria in the Affordable Housing definition above. These can include shared equity (shared ownership and equity loans), other low cost homes for sale and intermediate rent, but not affordable rented housing. Homes that do not meet the above definition of affordable housing, such as “low cost market” housing, may not be considered as affordable housing for planning purposes.

They tend to be non-commercial organisations such as local authorities or housing associations. Housing associations are independent, not-for- profit organisations that can use any profit they make to maintain existing homes and help finance new ones. It is now possible for commercial organisations to build and manage social housing, although this is not yet common practice.
Renewable and Low Carbon Energy	Includes energy for heating and cooling as well as generating electricity. Renewable energy covers those energy flows that occur naturally and repeatedly in the environment – from the wind, the fall of water, the movement of the oceans, from the sun and also from biomass and deep geothermal heat. Low carbon technologies are those that can help reduce emissions (compared to conventional use of fossil fuels).
Scheduled Monument	Nationally important monuments, usually archaeological remains that enjoy protection against inappropriate development as a result of their scheduling under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.
Secondary Shopping Frontage	Secondary frontages provide greater opportunities for a diversity of uses such as restaurants, cinemas and businesses.
Setting of a Heritage Asset	The surroundings in which a heritage asset is experienced. Its extent is not fixed and may change as the asset and its surroundings evolve. Elements of a setting may make a positive or negative contribution to the significance of an asset, may affect the ability to appreciate that significance or may be neutral.
Sequential Approach (flood risk)	To locate development to avoid where possible flood risk to people and property and manage any residual risk, taking account of the impacts of climate change.
Sequential Test (flood risk)	The aim of the Sequential Test is to steer new development to areas with the lowest probability of flooding. Development should not be allocated or permitted if there are reasonably available sites appropriate for the proposed development in areas with a lower probability of flooding. The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment will provide the basis for applying this test.
Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)	Sites designated nationally as being of special interest by reason of their flora, fauna, geological or physiological features and have statutory protection to preserve these features, designated by Natural England under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA)	A study carried out by one or more local planning authorities to assess the risk to an area from flooding from all sources, now and in the future, taking account of the impacts of climate change, and to assess the impact that land use changes and development in the area will have on flood risk.
Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)	A study to assess the overall potential for housing development in the area. It identifies specific sites with a development potential over the next 15 years and both informs the development of and monitors the performance of the Local Plan Can include employment land also.
Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA)	Assesses the housing market within the housing market area, and considers the nature of future need and demand for market and affordable housing to inform the development of the Local Plan.
Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)	Documents which add further detail to the policies in the Local Plan. They can be used to provide further guidance for development on specific sites or on particular issues, such as design. Supplementary Planning Documents are capable of being a material consideration in planning decisions but are not part of the development plan.
Sustainability Appraisal (SA)	Sustainability Appraisal is a systematic appraisal process used to assess the social, environmental and economic effects of strategies and policies from the outset of the preparation process.
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)	SuDS are an approach to managing rainwater falling on roofs and other surfaces through a sequence of actions. The key objectives are to manage the flow rate and volume of surface runoff to reduce the risk of flooding and water pollution. SuDS also reduce pressure on the sewerage network and can improve biodiversity and local amenity.
Town Centre	Area defined on the local authority’s policies map, including the primary shopping area and areas predominantly occupied by main town centre uses within or adjacent to the primary shopping area. References (in the NPPF) to town centres or centres apply to city centres, town centres, district centres and local centres but exclude small parades of shops of purely neighbourhood significance. Unless they are identified as centres in Local Plans, existing out-of-centre developments, comprising or including main town centre uses, do not constitute town centres.
Transport Assessment	A comprehensive and systematic process that sets out transport issues relating to a proposed development. It identifies what measures will be required to improve accessibility and safety for all modes of travel, particularly for alternatives to the car such as walking, cycling and public transport and what measures will need to be taken to deal with the anticipated transport impacts of the development.
Transport Statement	A simplified version of a transport assessment where it is agreed the transport issues arising out of development proposals are limited and a full transport assessment is not required.
Travel Plan	A long-term management strategy for an organisation or site that seeks to deliver sustainable transport objectives through action and is articulated in a document that is regularly reviewed.
Travelling Showpeople	Member of a group organised for the purposes of holding fairs, circuses or shows (whether or not travelling together as such). This includes such persons who, on the grounds of their own family’s dependents’ more localised pattern of trading, educational or health needs or old age, have ceased to travel but excludes Gypsies and Travellers defined separately within this glossary.
Use Classes	The Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended) puts uses of land and buildings into various categories or ‘classes’ e.g. C3 dwellings. Changes of use within these classes do not normally require planning permission and changes between certain classes may not either (permission may still be required for any physical conversion works).
Veteran Tree	A tree which, because of its great age, size or condition, is of exceptional value for wildlife, in the landscape or culturally.

Appendix 4: Designated Heritage Assets

Listed Buildings

Burnley has 308 listed building entries on the National Heritage List for England, administered by Historic England on behalf of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. It should be noted that this number does not truly represent the total number of listed buildings within the borough, since one listing may cover several individual buildings. Details of the borough’s Listed Buildings are accessible through the National Heritage List for England at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/
The listing includes the building identified on the list together with any ancillary building or structure within its curtilage and attached to it or any freestanding building or structure within its curtilage that pre-date 1 July 1948. Not all buildings have a curtilage. With those that do there will be cases where the extent of the curtilage will be clear (such as a garden boundary) but in others it may not. Further advice on curtilage can be found in the Historic England Advice Note, Listed Buildings and Curtilage.
The National Heritage List includes a description of each building which may refer to some, but not all the important features of the building. Every part of a building is listed even if it is not included in the description. This includes the interior and any later alterations or additions.

Conservation Areas

There are currently 10 designated Conservation Areas within the Borough. These are defined under Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, as “Areas of Special Architectural or Historic Interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”. Conservation areas in the Borough are listed below and the detailed boundaries are shown on the Policies Map.

A large amount of development would be necessary to support new local services and, as the landscape cannot accommodate this quantum, there should be growth restraint. Small amounts of infill around existing clusters may be acceptable

Thickening of the current ribbon of development could be beneficial and help sustain local services such as the school, parish hall, pubs. There should be no extension southwards. There should be much more restraint in the other 3 settlements

Hurstwood	Hurstwood	23	✗	✗	✓	✗	✗	✗	✗	✗	Post box; Phone box; Church	Hurstwood is a small and distinctive settlement and can only accommodate very small and one-off developments. A small amount of infill may be accommodated on the south eastern edge of Worsthorne in order to sustain local services

Definitions:

Local shop – Shop or facility selling basic household and grocery (convenience) goods

Play area – Equipped Play Area

Bus stop – Serviced bus stop – A bus service for this measure is one which runs at least every 30 minutes between 8am-6pm.

Appendix 8: Transport Assessments and Travel Plans

Transport Assessments/Transport Statements

Transport Assessments are required to assess the impact of proposals on transport infrastructure, including the capacity of roads, public transport and walking and cycling infrastructure, and to detail action to manage this impact. They are required to present qualitative and quantitative information about the anticipated transport and related environmental impacts before, during and after implementation of the proposed development, including details of the accessibility of the site by all transport modes and all users, including disabled people, and the likely modal split of journeys to and from the site.
Where a full Transport Assessment is not necessary, a less detailed assessment in the form of a Transport Statement may be required. Whatever the scale of Transport Assessment/Statement undertaken, it should be used to inform the final design of the development and if applicable, the Full Travel Plan.
Developers are required to demonstrate that the Transport Assessment/Transport Statement has informed the design of the proposed development and the Full Travel Plan. Development proposals should meet the identified needs and address anticipated impacts of the development through the design of the scheme, effective management, including through a Travel Plan where appropriate, and through mitigating any impacts of the scheme, including through planning contributions where appropriate.

Travel Plans

Travel Plans are the key management tool for implementing any transport solutions highlighted by the Transport Assessment/Statement, and are one of the primary tools for mitigating negative transport impacts of development proposals. Travel Plans are required to detail the developer’s response to the Transport Assessment/Statement and deliver sustainable transport objectives with a package of measures to promote sustainable transport, including measures to achieve a shift to the most sustainable forms of transport: walking and cycling.
Although a Travel Plan will be unique to any given site, all should contain the following:
- Background – explaining the site, location, numbers of staff and visitor/residents measures already in place or confirmed/committed
- Named Travel Plan Co-ordinator
- Baseline Data – current travel patterns to and from work, business travel undertaken during the working day, travel patterns of visitors to the site or residents trips from it
- Objectives – stating in general terms what the Plan is trying to achieve
- Travel and Infrastructure Audit – description of existing travel infrastructure and facilities and the accessibility of the site
- Targets – clearly identified targets against which the effectiveness of the Plan will be measured, or targets for its delivery. Targets should be site-specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time related (SMART)
- Actions – detailing the proposed actions and measures for achieving the stated targets, with specific dates and named responsible person
- Promotion – how the Plan itself and specific measures will be promoted
- Monitoring – setting out arrangements for the review and monitoring of the Travel Plan to determine whether the objectives are being met; a monitoring period of at least 5 years from occupation will normally be appropriate

Framework Travel Plan

A Framework Travel Plan is usually associated with an unoccupied or undeveloped site. It sets out the intention, timeframe and steps to be taken to develop a Full Travel Plan.

Full Travel Plan

A Full Travel Plan requires a site or location to be occupied either in full or in part. It must incorporate all the components of a Travel Plan. Where a site isn’t fully occupied there should be a commitment to review the Travel Plan as occupation increases or when the site becomes fully occupied. No detail or content should be presumed, estimated or proxy in nature. All measures and actions included in a Full Travel Plan are expected to be implementable within the timescales specified and should not be speculative or subject to further approval.

Timescales

Where a Travel Plan is required, the documents should be submitted at the following stages in the development process:
- Submission of planning application: Framework Travel Plan
- 6 months after first occupation or other agreed milestone: Full Travel Plan

Thresholds for Transport Assessments and Travel Plans

Developments above the following thresholds will be required to submit a Transport Assessment, Transport Statement and a Full Travel Plan.

Further Guidance and Application

What constitutes a car parking space?

1. A car parking space is a clearly defined and suitably surfaced space or garage.

Dimensions

2. Each space should be 2.4m in width and 5m in length.

3. Parking spaces in front of garage doors should be a minimum of 5.5m in length to enable up and over doors to open. A relaxation of this standard to 5m may be considered depending on the type of garage door to be installed.

4. Domestic garages should be a minimum size of 3m in width x 6m* in length to enable bicycles or other storage at the rear of the garage. (*unless alternative storage is provided)

Accessing Spaces

5. A minimum 6 metres clearance is required to enable cars to reverse out of a car parking space.

Mobility parking in non-residential developments

6. Mobility parking spaces (3m by 5m) shall be provided at a minimum level of 1 per 10 car parking spaces.

7. A 1.2m hatched area is required both sides of the space (only 1 space if it is at the open end of a row) and normally 1 metre hatched area behind.

Cycle parking in residential developments

8. Adequate space within should be provided for cycle parking either within the curtilage of each dwelling or within a convenient and secure communal space.

Cycle parking in non-residential developments

9. A minimum of 1 per 10 car parking spaces is required. Long stay covered areas shall be provided on all developments employing 30 or more full or part time staff.

Motorcycle parking in non-residential developments

10. A minimum of 1 per 25 car spaces. Long stay covered areas shall be provided on all developments employing 30 or more full or part time staff.

Parking in Town Centre Locations

11. In the Town Centres of Burnley and Padiham or where schemes including redevelopment to secure the future of a heritage asset, the minimum standards (other than for taxi booking offices) may not be applied in full in cases where public parking exists nearby or where on-street parking is available and the development would not cause or exacerbate congestion, highway safety issues or on-street parking problems.

Electric Car Charging Points

12. Additional provision over and above the minimum requirements set out above will be encouraged and supported in line with Policy NE5 subject to the consideration of the townscape impact in accordance with Policy SP5 and IC5. Where these affect heritage assets, care should also be taken to avoid harm and damage to historic fabric in accordance with Policies HE2 and 3.
