IIA Objectives Criteria for assessment Score Comment

IIAO1: To tackle poverty and encourage wealth creation

Will it improve the range of job opportunities for local people? 0

Will it help diversify the economy? 0

Will it increase the numbers of higher paid jobs in the borough?

0

Will it help reduce overall unemployment, particularly long-term unemployment?

0

Will it encourage the retentions and/or growth of local employment and training opportunities in the most deprived areas?

0

Will it assist in providing land and buildings of a type required by businesses, for a range of employment uses?

0

Will it reduce poverty in those areas and communities/equalities groups most affected by poverty?

++

SP1 outlines how housing will be of a high standard and of a good quality. One of the markers of poverty is poor housing conditions which SP1 will help to address. DM1 outlines that any affordable housing delivery must be a net increase. Housing conditions, including affordability relative to income, is an indicator of poverty which DM1 will help to address.

38

DM2 outlines how building more family sized homes will address overcrowding. Housing conditions is one of the indicators of poverty, including overcrowding. DM4 One of the indicators of poverty are housing conditions, which can include housing costs and security. The provision of private rented sector (PRS) homes, with secure, longer term tenancies will help address this aspect of poverty, freeing up and reducing the cost of homes of other types for other people, including those affected by deprivation and poverty DM8 requires residential development to be within a certain range within a certain location. Exceeding the prescribed density ranges will be permitted provided a development is judged to be of exemplary residential design. This will offers the chance to maximise affordable housing provision, including family sized social rented housing, which is where we have our greatest housing need. Providing more social rented family housing will help more people out of poverty through reducing housing costs and improving existing housing conditions, including those who live in relatively high deprivation where the population has a high concentration of people from a BME background. DM4 One of the indicators of poverty are housing conditions, which can include housing costs and security. The provision of private rented sector (PRS) homes, with secure, longer term tenancies will help address this aspect of poverty, freeing up and reducing the cost of homes of other types for other people, including those affected by deprivation and poverty.

39

DM5 One of the indicators of poverty is housing conditions. Elderly residents are particularly vulnerable to poor housing conditions, where sometimes a lack of a support network can inhibit the identification and addressing of housing problems, including the need for urgent repairs, fuel poverty (where people cannot afford their bills) or access to and around the house. DM5 will help to address this. DM8 requires residential development to be within a certain range within a certain location. Exceeding the prescribed density ranges will be permitted provided a development is judged to be of exemplary residential design. This will offers the chance to maximise affordable housing provision, including family sized social rented housing, which is where we have our greatest housing need. Providing more social rented family housing will help more people out of poverty through reducing housing costs and improving existing housing conditions, including those who live in relatively high deprivation where the population has a high concentration of people from a BME background.

Will it improve access to low-cost transport and other facilities?

0

Will it promote and enable tourism opportunities to be exploited and employment created?

0

40

Will it result in a loss of employment land? ?

SP1 There is a risk that some employment floorspace will be lost through the development of housing, however this will need to be justified with evidence and we will be promoting the development of employment floorspace through other policies in the New Southwark Plan.

IIAO2: To Improve the education and skill of the population

Will it provide opportunities to improve the skills and qualifications of the population, particularly for young people and adults?

+

Will it help improve employee education/training programmes?

0

Will it help reduce skills shortages? 0

Will it help reduce disparity in educational achievement between different ethnic groups?

++

DM1 outlines how children in overcrowded households do worse in school. Overcrowded households occur as a result of a lack of affordable housing. DM1 will help to address this. Statistically overcrowded households are most likely to be composed of people from black or ethnic minority households. Therefore DM1 will help to address this specific need.

41

DM2 Overcrowding in family households can result in children doing worse at school than their non-overcrowded peers. Our most deprived neighbourhoods have a higher concentration of residents from a Black or Ethnic Minority (BME) background. One of the indicators of deprivation is housing conditions, including overcrowding. From this, these groups have most to gain from the delivery of family sized housing, and should help to reduce overcrowding and so educational disparity between ethnic groups.

IIAO3: To Improve the health of the population

Will it promote and facilitate healthy living and active lifestyles amongst different groups?

++

SP1 Good quality affordable homes can be a basis from which to live a healthy life. DM1 outlines how people in overcrowded households can suffer from sleep deprivation, which can have serious health consequences. DM1 will help to address this. DM2 Overcrowding in family homes can negatively impact health, including sleep deprivation. Building more family sized homes will help address overcrowding and help facilitate healthy living.

DM3 Overcrowding in family homes can negatively impact health, including sleep deprivation. Protecting existing family sized homes will help address minimise overcrowding and help facilitate healthy living.

DM5 Specialist housing designed for older people will help them lead the lifestyles they want to lead, uninhibited by housing issues.

DM6 The provision of specialist wheelchair housing will enable people with mobility issues to live their life uninhibited by housing issues that may result from living in conventional accommodation.

42

DM8 Higher densities of housing enable services, facilities and other town centres uses to be viable and sustainable in walkable neighbourhoods, contributing to the promotion of healthy active lifestyles through the built environment.

Will it improve access to health and social care treatment for all sectors of the community?

++ DM5 Specialist housing designed for older people will help address aspects of poverty related to housing conditions including affordability, access and fuel poverty.

Will it maintain, enhance and create green infrastructure assets (e.g. green space, woodlands, recreation and sports facilities, allotments for recreation, exercise and access to locally produced food?

0

Will it improve the quality of housing for all? ++

DM1 The delivery of more affordable homes benefits everyone by ensuring enough supply of affordable homes will mean less pressure on market homes, and so result in an overall reduction in housing pressure, meaning all will benefit from an improved housing quality (in which housing costs are an indicator of quality). DM2 More family housing will reduce the demand for other types of housing, indirectly increasing the likelihood of everyone’s housing need being met. DM3 Protecting existing family housing will reduce the demand for other types of housing, indirectly increasing the likelihood of everyone’s housing need being met.

43

DM4 The provision of PRS housing will help to reduce the demand for other types of housing, in turn contributing to reduced housing costs, benefitting everyone's quality of housing.

DM8 Promoting housing developments at the appropriate density will mean more housing is delivered in the right places, creating neighbourhoods and homes that people want to live in.

Will it improve access to jobs for all and otherwise reduce poverty?

+

DM1 outlines the negative health effects of overcrowded and unaffordable housing. DM1 will help to address this. DM2 outlines how it will reduce over crowding. Overcrowding is a central aspect of housing conditions, which are an indicator of poverty. DM2 will help to address this. DM8 Higher densities around the North and middle of the borough where there are already larger town and employment centres and good transport links will increase the access to jobs for more people.

Will it encourage a range and mix of land uses that underpin local health, for example, avoiding over concentration of hot food takeaways in one location?

0

Will it help to facilitate the supply and availability of locally produced food?

0

Will it help improve mental and emotional health, reducing social exclusion?

++

SP1 Good quality affordable homes can improve mental health, in turn reducing the risk of social exclusion DM1 outlines the negative health effects of overcrowded and unaffordable housing. DM1 will help

44

to address this.

DM2 Overcrowding can significantly impact physical and mental health. Addressing this through the provision of family homes will help improve health and reduce social exclusion. DM4 Secure rented housing with a longer term tenancy can reduce the stress and pressure of housing issues, including rent rises at the end of a shorter tenancy agreement and the subsequent relocation where necessary. Reduced stress from the provision of PRS housing will help to improve tenant's mental health and social exclusion. DM6 Meeting the currently-unmet need for specialist wheelchair housing provision will minimise housing issues that may otherwise arise should a person with mobility issues be housed in conventional housing, minimising stress and improving mental health and so decreasing the risk of social exclusion.

Will it promote non-polluting forms of transport? +

DM8 Higher densities will help promote walking and cycling as more local facilities and services become more viable due to the demand from more people living in homes near by.

Will it reduce exposure to poor air quality across all groups? ?

SP1 There is a risk that an increase in housing may increase exposure to poor air quality. However this effect of the implementation of this policy should be considered n conjunction with policy DM - Improving Air Quality

45

DM8 Higher residential densities within Southwark will mean more people living and travelling through an area of existing poor air quality, increasing exposure. However, higher densities will mean more walkable neighbourhoods and services within walking distance, potentially reducing the need for polluting private motor vehicles such as cars.

IIAO4: To reduce the incidence of crime and the fear of crime

Will it improve safety and security? +

DM8 Higher densities will mean more people, activities, services and facilities on the street and ground floors, providing more natural surveillance and reducing the opportunity for unseen criminal activity and the fear of crime.

Will it incorporate measures to reduce crime and the fear of crime, including anti-social behaviour?

0

Will it provide for a well maintained and inclusive public realm and other public facilities?

0

Will it encourage an active and connect, strong and cohesive community?

++

DM1 The delivery of more affordable homes will be a crucial part of mixed and balanced communities which will help community cohesion.

DM2 Providing family homes for families will mean communities will be composed of a range of people of different ages, including children. This will make for a stronger, more diverse community where everyone’s need is catered for. DM3 Protecting our existing family homes will ensure our communities retain a strong mix in terms of housing choice and cater for a range of housing needs.

46

DM4 Secure, longer term tenancies offered through PRS housing developments will enable people to plan for the years ahead without having to worry about the termination of their rental contract or a rent increase. This will help to create a more cohesive community where people will understand that they can be safe in the knowledge they can belong to the community for a longer period of time than they would if they were renting through a standard assured short hold tenancy agreement (typically 6-12months).

DM6 Providing homes for people with mobility issues will mean that an under-represented section of society's housing need is catered for. Catering for this need will help build a stronger and more cohesive community in which everyone can feel they belong.

DM7 Due to the temporary nature of the tenants and the related reasons that tenants are often referred hostels, there is a risk that the granting of planning permission for them could create tension rather than community cohesion. However, they play a very important role in helping people with certain issues and so play a very important role in the community.

DM8 Higher densities will help more businesses, services and facilities be established as the increased population density helps them become viable. This will mean more people in walkable neighbourhoods out on the street engaging and interacting with others as they go about to make use of these local facilities and services.

IIAO5: To promote social inclusion, equality,

Will it help support the voluntary and community sectors?

++ DM7 Hostels and HMOs are normally administered by the voluntary and community sectors. Granting planning permission for these types of homes will help them achieve their aims of housing and helping

47

diversity and community cohesion

people in need.

Will it support active community engagement? 0

Will it support a diversity of lifestyles and communities? ++

SP1 outlines how housing types for a diverse range of needs, including family households, childless households, elderly housing, disabled housing and housing for vulnerable people. DM1 More affordable housing will enable people from different backgrounds and on different incomes, and by extension, those who live different lifestyles and who are from different communities, to live alongside each other. DM3 will increase the opportunity for families to be a component of diverse communities. DM4 PRS housing will help provide security as well as economic mobility, where they can have the option of moving away for work or other reasons. This will help a section of society that makes up a part of a diverse community. DM5 will help to support older people as an important part of the community who’s housing needs are well catered for, contributing to making them a constituent part of the wider, diverse community. DM7 Hostels and HMOs will house and help people with issues that inhibit them from leading healthy lifestyles, meaning they can start to lead healthy lifestyles and become another section of the diverse community in Southwark.

48

DM8 An increased population from an increased density will mean more businesses, services and facilities that cater for a range of lifestyles become viable.

Will it promote accessibility for those people who are elderly or disabled?

++

SP1 outlines how new homes for older people or those with mobility issues will be provided. DM5 The provision of specialist elderly housing will be designed to take account of the accessibility issues that affect the elderly. DM6 will specifically support the lifestyles of people with mobility issues, helping to contribute to diverse communities in which everyone's needs are catered for.


++

Will it help sustain the provision of community facilities and open space that meets local needs?

++

SP1 specifies that infill development may occur, which could potentially be on (non-formally designated) open space on existing housing land.

DM7 The provision of accommodation offered by HMOs and hostels will enable the administrators and organisations who run and manage them to engage with the vulnerable groups who are in need. This can be considered a form of community facility provision.

DM8 Higher densities will mean more community facilities become more viable and in higher demand with an increased residential population.

49

Will it facilitate connection of existing communities, i.e. layout and movement which avoids physical barriers and severance and land uses and spaces which encourage social interaction?

0

How will different groups of people be affected by the option or policy – including black and minority ethnic communities, women, disabled people, LGBT groups, older people, young people, children and faith groups?

++

SP1 Housing provided for older people and those with mobility issues will be provided to meet their needs.

DM3 outlines how existing family sized homes will be prevented from conversion into smaller homes that would be unsuitable for families. This will positively impact children more than other groups. DM4 PRS housing will most likely positively effect younger adults more than other groups as these make up the majority of existing renters and are most likely to want to have the option of moving away for work or other reasons, while still having secure housing in their current location. DM5 will specifically cater for older people's needs. DM6 will try to provide adequate housing for people with mobility issues, and so are the largest minority group to be positively effected by the policy.

IIAO6: To reduce contributions to climate change Will it reduce C02 and other

greenhouse gas emissions? ?

SP1 There is a risk that an increase in housing may increase C02 emissions. DM8 There is a risk that there could be a net increase in C02 emissions in the short term due to an increase in the scale of building required. However, this will be balanced in the longer term as higher densities provide a basis to shift to walkable neighbourhoods, cycling and public transport and away from the motor car.

50

Will it reduce energy consumption? --

SP1 There is a risk that an increase in housing will increase energy consumption. DM8 Higher densities will likely result in an increase in energy consumption, although higher densities will be more efficient than the same number of people (or habitable rooms) at a lower density (over a larger surface area).

Will it use renewable sources of energy? 0

Will it help local people cope with hotter drier summers and warmer winters?

0

Will it mitigate against the urban heat island effect? ++

DM8 Higher densities will be better at addressing the urban heat island effect than lower densities with the same number of people or habitable rooms due to a larger amount of surface area of buildings for lower densities. This means that there is a larger amount of material to that can absorb and release heat radiation from the sun. Higher densities will reduce this due to a smaller amount of exposed building surface area for the same number of people or habitable rooms.

Will it encourage the re-use of resources? 0

Will it encourage water efficiency and drought resilience?

0

Will it encourage the re-use or improvement of buildings and land that are vacant, under utilised or in disrepair?

+ SP1 outlines that there will be development sites including on existing estates.

Will it maintain or enhance biodiversity? 0

51

IIAO7: To improve air quality in Southwark

Will it improve air quality? +

SP1 There is a risk that an increase in housing will make improving air quality harder, due to increase emissions from heating and powering of homes. DM8 There is a risk that there could be a worsening of air quality due to an increase in the population increasing the demand for polluting private car use. However, higher densities will provide a basis to shift to walkable neighbourhoods, cycling and public transport and away from the motor car.

Will it help to reduce emissions of PM10 and N02? -

DM8 Increased densities will likely result in an increase in PM10 and N02 in the short term. Longer term effects of DM8 are unknown when assessing the policy in isolation (i.e refer to DM60 - Air Quality).

Will it minimise construction impacts such as dust, noise, vibration and odours?

- DM8 Higher densities may result in an increase in construction impacts in the short term as developments are built out.

Will it encourage a reduction in the amount and length of journeys made by car?

?

SP1 There is a risk that an increase in housing could increase the number of car trips.

DM2 Cars are typically favoured by families more so than single people because of the convenience they offer. There is a risk that an increase in family sized homes may increase the demand for car journeys.

DM3 Cars are typically favoured by families more so than single people because of the convenience they offer. There is a risk that the protection of family sized homes may not reduce the demand for car journeys.

IIAO8: To avoid waste and maximise, re-use or recycle waste arising as a resource

Will it promote the reduction of waste during construction and operation/occupation?

0

Will it minimise the production of household and commercial waste?

0

52

Will it promote sustainable processing of waste? +

DM8 Higher densities enables services, including the sustainable processing of waste, to become more viable through applying the economies of scale principle.

IIAO9: To encourage sustainable use of water resources

Will it result in a net increase in the demand for water and foul sewage disposal?

--

SP1 A net increase in new homes will result in a net increase in the demand for water and foul sewage disposal. DM8 Higher densities will result in a net increase in the demand for water and foul sewage disposal.

Will it encourage the re-use of water? 0

Will it maximise use of rainwater or other local water supplies?

0

Will it reduce discharges to surface and ground water? 0

IIAO10: To maintain and enhance the quality of and soils

Will it result in the loss of open or previously undeveloped land?

SP1 There is a risk that infill development on existing estates will take place (non-formally protected) on open space. However this is considered previously developed land.

Will it promote the re-use of previously developed land and buildings?

SP1 Protected open space and previously non-developed land will not be developed for housing.

Will it use land effectively and efficiently, including mixed use and higher density development?

++ SP1 Infill development and wholesale redevelopment will result in a higher density and a more efficient use of land.

Will it encourage the remediation of land identified as potentially contaminated?

0

Will it prevent further contamination of soils? 0

53

Will it improve soil quality? 0 IIAO11: To protect and enhance quality of landscape and townscape

Will it conserve and enhance local landscape and townscape character and visual amenity?

0

Will it improve the relationship between different buildings, streets, squares, parks and waterways and other spaces that make up the townscape character?

0

Will it have a negative impact on important strategic/local views?

0

Will it incorporate sustainable design and construction techniques?

+

DM8 If development is going to exceed density ranges then it must be judged as being of exemplary design. Part of this judgement criteria is that it must demonstrate that the development has sought to maximise the use of sustainable technologies and materials

IIAO12: To conserve and enhance the historic environment and cultural assets

Will it promote the historic environment and also contribute to better understanding of the historic environment?

0

Will it promote high quality design and sustainable construction methods?

+

DM8 If development is going to exceed density ranges then it must be judged as being of exemplary design. Part of this judgement criteria is that it must demonstrate that the development has sought to maximise the use of sustainable technologies and materials

Will it respect visual amenity and the spatial diversity of communities?

+ DM8 specifies that we want to provide housing that responds to the local and historic context, and to retain and create places where people want to live.

54

Will it maintain or increase access to leisure, sporting, cultural and arts destinations and facilities?

++ DM8 More people living in the same location will mean an increase in access to facilities. It will also mean that new facilities will become viable and provided.

Will it improve leisure, sporting, cultural and arts provision?

+

IIAO13: To protect and improve open spaces, green corridors and biodiversity

Will it encourage development on previously developed land? +

SP1 Protected open space and previously non-developed land will not be developed for housing. DM1 outlines how affordable housing must be delivered onsite. The majority of land in the borough is previously developed land, therefore DM1 indirectly encourages development on previously developed land.

Will it improve the quality and access to open spaces in areas of deficiency?

SP1 Infill development and wholesale redevelopment may risk some non-protected open spaces being lost, however this will be reprovided in different ways as part of new housing.

Will it provide a range of play spaces for children and young people?

0

Will it maintain, enhance and create green infrastructure assets and networks (e.g. green space, woodlands, public rights of way, open recreation and sports facilities) across the area?

?

SP1 Infill development and wholesale redevelopment may risk some non-protected open spaces being lost, however this will be reprovided in different ways as part of new housing. New housing will be better sited and linked to the surrounding areas including to green spaces.

Will it help and improve biodiversity in the area overall and in particular avoid harm to species and habitats protected by international and UK law?

0

55

Will it protect and enhance natural habitats and protect priority species?

0

Will it encourage the creation of new habitats, including through the provision of additional open space and green roofs?

0

Will it help achieve the Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) targets?

0

Will it help protect and provide opportunities for creating/enhancing/improving sites designated for their nature conservation value/biodiversity at local and national levels?

0

IIA014: To reduce vulnerability to flooding

Will the development be in an area at risk of flooding? --

SP1 The Thames flood risk zones and critical drainage areas cover the majority of the borough, therefore any housing development in Southwark will most likely be in an area at risk of flooding. DM1 The majority of land in the borough is at risk of some form of flooding, therefore there is a high probability that any affordable housing delivery will be in an area of flooding. DM2 The majority of land in Southwark is at risk from some form of flooding, meaning that new homes, including new family sized homes will most likely be in areas at risk of flooding.

56

DM4 The majority of land in Southwark is at risk from some form of flooding, meaning that new homes, including new family sized homes will most likely be in areas at risk of flooding. DM5 The majority of the land within Southwark is at risk from some form of flooding. However, elderly people are considered vulnerable users of a site and so will need to demonstrate that alternative sites of lower flood risk have been considered and, where available, chosen as the location of the development to minimise risk. DM6 The majority of the land within Southwark is at risk from some form of flooding. However, elderly people are considered vulnerable users of a site and so will need to demonstrate that alternative sites of lower flood risk have been considered and, where available, chosen as the location of the development to minimise risk. DM7 The majority of the land within Southwark is at risk from some form of flooding, meaning the likelihood of HMOs and hostels being located in these areas is high. DM8 The majority of the land within Southwark is at risk from some form of flooding, meaning the likelihood of homes being located in these areas is high.

Will it minimise the risk of and from flooding to people and their property?

0

Will it protect and improve flood defences and allow them to be maintained?

0

Will it promote the use of sustainable urban drainage 0

systems?

IIAO15: To provide everyone with the opportunity to live in a decent home

Will it improve the supply of housing?

SP1's key objective is to improve the supply of housing, particularly quality, affordable housing. DM1 outlines the requirement for a net increase in affordable housing as a percentage of any residential development that comes forward over the life of the plan. DM4 An increase in PRS homes will reduce the demand for other types of housing elsewhere.

DM5 Housing designed specifically for older people will free up other types of homes currently occupied by older people, helping increase the availability of non-specialist housing for other people.

DM6 Housing designed specifically for wheelchair users and others with specialist housing needs will free up other types of homes currently occupied and unsuitable for wheelchair users, helping increase the availability of non-specialist housing for other people.

DM8 An increase in density will mean more homes in the same area.

DM47 Increasing access to jobs and employment through transport infrastructure will reduce unemployment.


++

DM39 The greater the amount of leisure, arts and cultural facilities in the borough the greater the opportunity for training and employment. This has significant potential in some of our more deprived communities where the creative economy is currently growing.

174


++


++

SP5 One of the measures of poverty and deprivation is physical and mental health as well as the condition of a community’s housing. Some of the neighbourhoods in Southwark have high levels of deprivation and poverty. Providing more community health facilities, enabling voluntary organisations to take root and improving housing conditions will help tackle this.

DM38 Social interaction and exercise will have a positive impact on all groups, but particularly those vulnerable to illness including the elderly and children.

DM39 has the potential to reduce poverty through increased access to arts, leisure and cultural facilities which can enhance wellbeing and provide training and employment opportunities. This is particularly relevant in some of Southwark's more deprived communities where a cultural and arts scene is continuing to grow.

DM40 Flexible community uses will enable people from different groups and backgrounds to use the same space, meaning an efficient use of land and an increased opportunity for service provision.

175

DM41 One of the markers of poverty is physical health, which is partially determined by a healthy diet. DM41 seeks to limit the health impact of hot food takeaways, which will improve health and so reduce poverty.

DM42 Public transport is a relatively cheap and accessible way to move around. An improvement in public transport has the potential to have significant benefits for deprived communities.

DM44 Promoting walking will enable new and better routes to services and facilities between communities, including deprived communities.

DM45 Opening up low line walking routes will enable new routes to services and facilities between communities, including deprived communities.

DM47 Major transport infrastructure improvements will help provide access to jobs and employment for people.

SP5 Promoting walking and cycling through the delivery of walking and cycling routes and good urban design that prioritises pedestrians and cyclists will improve access to low cost transport opportunities.

DM38 Indoor and outdoor sports and health facilities will attract tourist who are visiting London for the enjoyment of sport related events.

DM39 Access to arts, leisure and culture is an important part of overall wellbeing.

DM41 Part of healthy living includes a healthy diet. The majority of hot food takeaways sell food cooked in oil and high in fat. Limiting hot food take ways will offer the opportunity to improve the diets and overall health, particularly of young people.

DM43 requires that development minimises the demand for private car trips. This would have the secondary benefit of making walking and cycling more attractive options for personal transport, which are healthier ways to move around than private cars.

DM44 will help encourage walking which is a healthy way to move around

177

DM45 Low line walking routes will help encourage walking which is a healthy way to move around. DM47 Public transport and walking and cycling infrastructure will help promote healthy active lifestyles.

DM38 Physical activity and exercise has been proven to have a positive effect on mental health.

DM40 Community facilities can provide important spaces for socialising and learning, participation in which can help improve mental health and reduce social exclusion.

DM41 A healthy diet is proven to contribute to positive mental health, which DM41 seeks to encourage by limiting hot food takeaways.

DM42 Better public transport will help people access friends and family, support networks and health facilities, improving mental health and reducing the chance of social exclusion.

DM44 Improving existing and creating new walking routes will help encourage walking which is a healthy way to move around.

179

DM45 Low line walking routes will help encourage walking which is a healthy way to move around. DM46 Cycling is a good way to exercise which has benefits for mental health. DM47 Increasing access to jobs will help reduce social exclusion.


DM38 The healthiest ways to move around include walking and cycling, which DM38 seeks to encourage as a recreational and healthy activity. In addition, walking and cycling can also be seen as a non-polluting form of transport. DM42 Public transport is still largely polluting, however over time this will likely change, as Southwark currently has one hydrogen bus route. Furthermore, public transport is considerably less polluting than private motor vehicles where the energy and fuel required to transport the same number of people is significantly greater. In this respect, DM42 promotes non-polluting forms of transport. DM48 seeks to minimise car use, which should indirectly make walking, cycling and public transport more attractive.


++

DM42 Good public transport services will make it more attractive for people to use, helping establish the modal shift away from private motor cars, which contribute significantly to congestion and poor air pollution.

DM43 seeks to minimise private motor vehicle use, which contribute to congestion and poor air quality.

180

DM44 Walking routes will generally be away from main roads, where pollution levels are highest. This will encourage people to walk away from main roads where possible, reducing exposure to air pollution.

DM45 The low line walking routes currently identified and proposed are generally away from main roads, where pollution levels are highest.

DM47 The list of infrastructure projects listed in DM47 all relate to walking, cycling and public transport. These forms of transport have the potential to reduce poor air quality through encouraging modal shift away from private car use.


Will it improve safety and security? ++

SP5 Through encouraging walking and cycling and leading healthy active lives in general, Southwark’s population will feel safer from dangerous traffic, pollution and the dangers of poverty and deprivation.

DM38 Outdoor activities will provide natural surveillance as a secondary benefit.

DM39 Arts, cultural and leisure uses can contribute to street activity, and so natural surveillance, by being part of the day time, evening and night time economy. This will improve safety and security as more people are active on the street.

DM40 Community facilities that are multipurpose and shared spaces will mean people using the buildings more than if they were for a single use or not shared. This will increase the number of people using the space at different times of the day and so provide a sense of activity, security and natural surveillance.

DM43 Minimising the use of private motor vehicles will make places feel safer. DM44 Improving existing and creating new walking routes will encourage more people to walk, improving street vitality and providing more natural surveillance. DM45 Currently, the accessible routes along arches are generally not well used meaning there is a lack of activity and natural surveillance. The low line walking routes will help to address this as a secondary benefit of the policy proposal.

SP5 Through promoting and protecting voluntary organisations, as well as improving health and wellbeing through improving the condition of our housing stock, this will mean residents will have more time and energy to be engaged in their community.


SP5 We are trying to improve the health of the population by promoting healthy lifestyles. More healthy lifestyles will mean a healthier population who are free from the constraints of ill health to choose from a diverse range of lifestyles that suits them. DM47 Better transport connections will help Southwark’s diverse communities thrive.


++ SP5 We will do this by promoting walking and ensuring the public realm caters for the elderly and other sections of society who may have mobility issues.

SP5 Promoting healthy active lifestyles incorporates a form of positive discrimination where we actively try to cater for certain sections of society that are usually overlooked, for example the elderly, the disabled and the ill.

DM38 Sport and health facilities will benefit children, the elderly and disabled the most, as these are the groups who are most vulnerable to ill physical health. DM40 will help create healthy, inclusive communities that enable social cohesion. This will be particularly important for groups such as those from deprived areas, which have a higher proportion of residents from a BME background, children and older people, where loneliness, due to a lack of services and facilities such as community space, can affect health. DM42 Elderly and disabled groups will benefit from good public transport. This is because public transport built and operated has to conform to accessibility standards by law.

DM43 requires that vehicle movements during the construction phase of a development must reduce the danger of vehicles to vulnerable road users, which would include children, the elderly and the mobility impaired.

DM44 More walking routes will help the elderly, mobility impaired and children as they will be able to walk safely away from main roads where they would be more vulnerable to traffic accidents.

DM45 will help to indirectly reduce c02 emissions through promoting walking as an attractive, convenient and safe way to get around. DM48 seeks to restrict car parking to a heavier extent than previous car parking policies, helping to reduce C02 emissions relative to previous policy limits. DM49 There is a risk that the provision of car parking for the disabled will increase C02 emissions, however, this will be dependant on the site and the previous amount of car parking on the site.

Will it reduce energy consumption? +

SP5 Making homes warm, dry and safe will reduce the need to manually heat buildings and so reduce energy consumption.

DM42 Good public transport services will make it more attractive for people to use, helping establish the modal shift away from private motor cars, which contribute fuel and energy consumption to a much greater extent than public transport relative to capacity.

DM43 Reducing private motor vehicle use will reduce the consumption of fuel and energy.

DM44 By promoting new and improved walking routes and encouraging walking, this should reduce car use which will reduce energy consumption as a secondary effect.

DM45 Encouraging walking by implementing low line walking routes should effect an indirect modal shift away from private car use which will improve air quality.

DM46 Cycling is a non-polluting form of transport. Encouraging cycling through generous cycle parking provision will help achieve modal shift away from private cars which pollute air. This should improve air quality.

DM48 The provision of car parking will not likely improve air quality while conventional fossil fuel engines are still in use. However, the level of car parking permitted through development will improve on previous policy limits, though stricter levels of permitted car parking and provision of electric vehicle charging points and car clubs.

189

DM49 The provision of car parking spaces has the potential to encourage car use which could increase pollution caused by car use. However, car parking levels will be appropriate to the scale of the development. There is also the chance that car parking levels will be reduced relative to the previous use of the site.

SP6 Promoting access to green space, improving health and access to services and employment through walkable neighbourhoods and cycling and public transport, as well as energy efficient buildings with reduced bills will help alleviate poverty and increase opportunities amongst Southwark's most deprived communities.

DM52 One of the indicators of poverty is access to open and green space. Southwark has some deprived neighbourhoods identified for regeneration. DM52 outlines that major development must provide new green and open space with multiple benefits.

DM55 Buildings with high environmental standards will result in reduced bills, meaning a reduction in fuel poverty for people living in Southwark's most deprived neighbourhoods, which have a high concentration of people from BME backgrounds.

DM56 requires that development that does not achieve carbon savings targets on site should be off set off site. This could involve retrofitting existing social housing which house of our most deprived residents. This would reduce energy bills and give the buildings a longer life.

SP6 New housing will be designed and built to high standards, meaning they will last longer than previous, more recent generations of housing stock, improving the resourcefulness of the borough. However, we need to wait for the national government to lead on their proposed direction for the sustainable design and construction of new homes, as this has only been referred to briefly in a white paper (see “Fixing the foundations: creating a more prosperous nation,” July 2015). We will continue to promote and deliver the retrofitting and improving the suitability of existing homes through retrofitting.


+

SP6 We will help to reduce poverty through the retrofitting of existing homes bringing the cost of energy bills down, saving our residents money.

DM56 Due to CHP energy supply being more efficient and less wasteful than conventional energy supply, energy bills will be reduced and so reduce the chance of poverty, particularly fuel poverty, for lower income households.

SP6 Promoting denser, walkable neighbourhoods that foster community cohesion and improving public transport accessibility will help to improve mental and physical health and reduce social exclusion. DM50 Development's visual, noise and smell impacts can have a significant impact on people's amenity. Protecting this amenity will result in improved mental health and reduce the risk of social exclusion.

SP6 Both directly, through requiring new sustainable buildings retrofitting for existing buildings and indirectly, through the promotion of walking, cycling and public transport, which in turn should reduce private car use. DM50 will reduce exposure to poor air quality where the cause of poor air quality are offensive smells. DM52 Greenery, particularly certain types of trees, can significantly improve air quality through consuming carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Open spaces also allow poor air quality trapped in city streets and roads to escape away from people on the ground. DM53 Green roofs and brown roofs will help improve air quality. DM54 Trees can be an important part of improving air quality, as they consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen, making the air cleaner. However, they must be the right type of trees in the right location, as some trees can cause pollutants to form that would otherwise not occur. Some species with a large enough canopy cover can also trap pollutants at street level and prevent the dissipation of pollutants. DM55 High environmental standards, including BREEAM levels, may include boilers and plant which produce a certain amount c02 emissions which will improve air quality.

DM56 Building more energy efficient buildings, using cleaner and less wasteful energy supply and using renewable energy will reduce emissions and so reduce exposure to poor air quality.

205

DM57 One factor of poor air quality can be smell, which can be effected by inadequate waste management. DM57 will ensure this potential impact is suitably managed, reducing exposure to poor air quality.

DM58 Depending on the scale, type and location of a waste management facility, there is a risk that air quality could be negatively impacted from a new waste facility. However, DM58 requires that new facilities must not adversely impact amenity, therefore this will not happen.

DM63 The implementation of SUDs as part of DM63 will provide opportunities to reduce air pollutants through urban greening.



SP6 More people walking and cycling through well designed, legible streets will result in more "natural surveillance," improving security and safety.

208


++

DM51 will have a particularly positive impact on physically vulnerable groups such as older people, the mobility impaired or children.

DM56 Elderly people and young children will benefit as people more vulnerable to the negative effects of poor air quality, i.e. ill health. Some of Southwark's more deprived neighbourhoods have a higher concentration of people from a BME background. One of the measures of deprivation is fuel poverty (i.e. not being able to afford energy bills). New development that adheres to the Mayor's energy hierarchy has the potential to positively effect people from a deprived background more so than others. In Southwark this is statistically more likely to be people from a BME background.

DM60 Vulnerable users of streets and buildings such as children and the elderly will benefit the most of the implementation of DM60. This is because the effects of poor air quality can be most acute in these groups.


greenhouse gas emissions? ++

SP6 Emissions will be reduced through requiring new and existing buildings to be built to a high environmental standards, as well as promoting walking, cycling and public transport over the private car.

DM52 Parks and open spaces have the potential to mitigate the effects of poor air pollution, as well as improving poor air quality through allowing poor air quality to escape. greenery that consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.

DM54 Trees consume carbon dioxide and so can help reduce C02 concentrations. DM55 High environmental standards, including BREEAM levels, seek to minimise greenhouse gas emissions. DM58 There is significant potential for new waste management facilities to reduce C02 and greenhouse gas emissions by sustainably processing waste, including re-using waste material, recycling waste material and capturing energy from waste material. Southwark's currently protected waste management facility has various recycling facilities. DM60 requires developments to achieve or exceed air quality neutral standards. This takes into account C02 emissions from plant and traffic generated by development.

DM62 Re-suing water on site where possible will reduce energy, and so C02 emissions, where water is pumped from large scale water infrastructure.

Will it reduce energy consumption? ++

DM54 The canopy cover provided by trees can also act as shading for buildings in the summer, minimising solar gain and reducing the need for internal air conditioning.

210

DM55 High environmental standards, including BREEAM level "Excellent" will seek to reduce energy consumption. DM58 Southwark's currently protected waste management facility reduces energy consumption through using re-suing waste material as fuel in conjunction with Lewisham's SELCHP. Any new waste management facilities would need to incorporate a similar sustainable waste management strategy. DM63 The implementation of SUDs as part of DM63 will provide opportunities for urban greening, which can have the secondary effect of minimising solar gain and so reduce the need for artificial air conditioning, reducing energy consumption.

Will it use renewable sources of energy? ++


++

DM52 More greenery in open spaces and on buildings that consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen will help mitigate the effects of man-made climate change such as hotter drier summers and warmer winters. DM54 Trees can provide natural cooling through providing shade, helping people cope with hotter summers.

DM56 Buildings will be designed to be energy efficient as the first stage of the Mayor's energy hierarchy, minimising the need for artificial cooling in the summer and artificial heating in the winter.


DM52 Urban greening, including green open spaces on the roofs and terraces of buildings can help mitigate the urban heat island effect.

211

DM53 Green roofs and brown roofs will help mitigate the urban heat island effect.

DM54 Trees can provide shade meaning buildings do not absorb as much heat as they would if they were not there. This means that buildings absorb less heat and so also release less heat, meaning the urban heat island effect is reduced.

DM60 requires developments within our Air Quality Focus Areas to deliver measures to improve air quality. This could include green roofs and walls, which will have a secondary effect of minimising the urban heat island effect.

DM63 The implementation of SUDs as part of DM63 will provide opportunities for urban greening, which can have the secondary effect of minimising solar gain and so reduce the need for artificial air conditioning, reducing energy consumption.


SP6 This will be achieved through requiring existing buildings to be retrofitted with sustainability measures and protecting and enhancing our green and open spaces for existing and future generations to enjoy. DM54 requires that trees of a certain value should be retained and enhanced.

DM56 Combined heat and power, as a the second stage of the Mayor's energy hierarchy, re-uses waste heat for energy generated from conventional energy generation.

212

DM57 requires that the waste management hierarchy be applied during construction. This involves (in order of preference) preventing waste arising, re-suing waste materials in their current state, recycling waste materials to use in another state and extract energy from waste materials before considering landfill. DM59 Through the remediation of contaminated land and removal of hazardous substances from sites, land will be able to be re-used for development that was previously not possible.

Southwark DM54 Trees can be an important part of improving air quality, as they consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen, making the air cleaner. However, they must be the right type of trees in the right location, as some trees can cause pollutants to form that would otherwise not occur. Some species with a large enough canopy cover can also trap pollutants at street level and prevent the dissipation of pollutants. DM58 requires that any negative impacts of the construction process are reduced and mitigated, including any negative impacts on air quality.

DM60 outlines how developments must be air quality neutral. This means that developments must not exceed emission benchmarks for physical plant (which is responsible for managing and maintaining a buildings mechanical processes such as heating and cooling) or the traffic demand that the development is likely to generate. This means that for a development on a derelict site, air quality could in fact worsen due to development. However, this impact must be considered alongside the need to deliver new homes and create jobs, and the air quality neutral policy means that the impact is less due to the required benchmarks.


DM52 will help reduce the concentration of PM10 and N02 in areas of high concentration that are near green spaces.

DM56 Through minimising carbon emissions from the heating and powering of buildings air quality will be improved, including a reduction of pollutants such as PM10 and N02.

DM65 Particularly for small businesses.


++

DM65 The list referred to under "infrastructure" in DM65 will help to provide a range of services and facilities that in high demand from protected groups, including play space for children, child care and emergency services. Climate change mitigation and adaption measures could also include retrofitting social housing to be energy efficient, reducing the cost of energy bill which would prevent older people suffering from fuel poverty.


++ DM64 Infrastructure often comes in the form of public transport infrastructure which, although has high initial costs to build, is relatively cheap to use for passengers.


++ DM64 Better infrastructure means better connected arts, cultural and sporting facilities, helping Southwark take advantage of its many tourism opportunities.


DM64 This will depend on the individual project and site characteristics and context. However, DM64 specifies that we will seek to explore opportunities for shared services, and when looked at in conjunction with other policies in the New Southwark Plan (for example DM13: Efficient Use of Land) this is very unlikely. DM66 may potentially result in a loss of unlawful employment space not fit for purpose and that would not be given planning permission were the development subject to the planning permission process.

Secure, longer term tenancies offered through PRS housing developments will enable people to plan for the years ahead without having to worry about the termination of their rental contract or a rent increase. This will help to create a more cohesive community where people will understand that they can be safe in the knowledge they can belong to the community for a longer period of time than they would if they were renting through a standard assured shorthold tenancy agreement (typically 6-12months).

One of the indicators of poverty is housing conditions. Elderly residents are particularly vulnerable to poor housing conditions, where sometimes a lack of a support network can inhibit the identification and addressing of housing problems, including the need for urgent repairs, fuel poverty (where people cannot afford their bills) or access to and around the house. DM5 will help to address this.

Due to the temporary nature of the tenants and the related reasons that tenants are often referred hostels, there is a risk that the granting of planning permission for them could create tension rather than community cohesion. However, they play a very important role in helping people with certain issues and so play a very important role in the community.



++

Hostels and HMOs are normally administered by the voluntary and community sectors. Granting planning permission for these types of homes will help them achieve their aims of housing and helping people in need.



Hostels and HMOs will house and help people with issues that inhibit them from leading healthy lifestyles, meaning they can start to lead healthy lifestyles and become another section of the diverse community in Southwark.

DM8 requires residential development to be within a certain range within a certain location. Exceeding the prescribed density ranges will be permitted provided a development is judged to be of exemplary residential design. This will offers the chance to maximise affordable housing provision, including family sized social rented housing, which is where we have our greatest housing need. Providing more social rented family housing will help more people out of poverty through reducing housing costs and improving existing housing conditions, including those who live in relatively high deprivation where the population has a high concentration of people from a BME background.

Higher residential densities within Southwark will mean more people living and travelling through an area of existing poor air quality, increasing exposure. However, higher densities will mean more walkable neighbourhoods and services within walking distance, potentially reducing the need for polluting private motor vehicles such as cars.

greenhouse gas emissions? ?

There is a risk that there could be a net increase in C02 emissions in the short term due to an increase in the scale of building required. However, this will be balanced in the longer term as higher densities provide a basis to shift to walkable neighbourhoods, cycling and public transport and away from the motor car.

Will it reduce energy consumption? --

Higher densities will likely result in an increase in energy consumption, although higher densities will be more efficient than the same number of people (or habitable rooms) at a lower density (over a larger surface area).



0

342


Higher densities will be better at addressing the urban heat island effect than lower densities with the same number of people or habitable rooms due to a larger amount of surface area of buildings for lower densities. This means that there is a larger amount of material to that can absorb and release heat radiation from the sun. Higher densities will reduce this due to a smaller amount of exposed building surface area for the same number of people or habitable rooms.

IIAO7: To improve air quality in Southwark Will it improve air quality? +

There is a risk that there could be a worsening of air quality due to an increase in the population increasing the demand for polluting private car use. However, higher densities will provide a basis to shift to walkable neighbourhoods, cycling and public transport and away from the motor car.

Will it help to reduce emissions of PM10 and N02? -

Increased densities will likely result in an increase in PM10 and N02 in the short term. Longer term effects of DM8 are unknown when assessing the policy in isolation (i.e. refer to DM60 - Air Quality).

DM20 recognises that the strategic importance and unique character of the River Thames needs to be maintained and enhanced to enable the use and enjoyment of the Thames for all. The River Thames and its hinterland comprise the Thames Policy Area. This makes an important historical and environmental contribution to Southwark and London enabling significant recreation, tourism, nature conservation and open space provision. This is a busy tourist area, which is environmentally sensitive and subject to intense development pressure. Access and maintenance to the river is important to achieve this, along with repair of and rising of the river defence wall and expansion of the pathway to incorporate drainage and flood mitigation.
