Introduction

As of 9am on Monday 13th February 2023, National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) has been adopted by Scottish Minsters. This represents a significant change to Scotland’s planning system as NPF4 will now comprise part of the statutory Development Plan. Consequently, all new planning applications will be required to be determined in accordance with the provisions and policies outlined in NPF4.

Iceni Projects has reviewed the provisions of NPF4 in detail, with a particular focus on the potential implications for different types of development in Scotland. In this document, we set out our thoughts on what the implications could be for the following sectors: Biodiversity, Business & Industry, City Centres, Drive-Throughs, Heritage, Housing & Green Belt, Renewable Energy, Retail, Retirement Living, Reuse & Retrofit, and Tourism.

Biodiversity

NPF4 Briefing Notes 8

What Does NPF4 Mean for Biodiversity?

Addressing the climate and nature crises is the key focus of NPF4, with the document recognising the challenges faced by the natural environment and the ongoing loss of biodiversity. In response to this, NPF4 states that nature recovery must be at the heart of future places.

There is an increased focus in NPF4 to support development that helps to secure positive effects for biodiversity. This is underpinned by Policy 1 (Tackling the Climate and Nature Crises), which gives significant weight to the to the nature crisis to ensure it is recognised as a priority in all plans and decisions making going forward.

Through Policy 3 (Biodiversity) , NPF4 introduces a presumption in favour of development that protects biodiversity, reverses biodiversity loss, delivers positive effects from development, and strengthens nature networks.

Policy 3 guides Local Development Plans to promote nature recovery and nature restoration across the development plan area, including by facilitating the creation of nature networks and strengthening connections between them to support improved ecological connectivity; restoring degraded habitats or creating new habitats; and incorporating measures to increase biodiversity, including populations of priority species.

Notably, under Policy 3 all national, major or Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) development proposals will only be supported where it can be demonstrated that the proposal will conserve, restore, and enhance biodiversity, including nature networks, so they are in a demonstrably better state than they were pre-development. The policy specifies that ‘best practice assessment methods’ should be used to inform this.

Therefore, the need to provide biodiversity enhancements is now a highly important consideration across all development proposals and will require consideration in the early stages of design. The Transitional Arrangements (published 8th February 2023) recognise there is no single accepted methodology for quantifying biodiversity enhancement and confirm that research has been commissioned to explore options for developing a biodiversity metric for use in Scotland. The transitional arrangements reiterate that it is for the decision maker to take into account the policies in NPF4 as a whole when considering whether proposals which will not give rise to opportunities to contribute to the enhancement of biodiversity or not.

Key Considerations for Future Development

ƒ Development proposals will be required to contribute to the enhancement of biodiversity, including by restoring degraded habitats and building and strengthening nature networks.

ƒ Adverse impacts, including cumulative impacts, of development proposals on the natural environment will require to be minimised through careful planning and design, taking into account the need to reverse biodiversity loss.

ƒ Proposals for local development are required to include appropriate measures to conserve, restore and enhance biodiversity.

NPF4 Briefing Notes 9

Business & Industry

NPF4 Briefing Notes 10

What Does NPF4 Mean for Business & Industry?

NPF4 is required by law to contribute to six key outcomes, several of which have implications for the business and industrial sector. These include the need to improve equality and eliminate discrimination, and to meet targets relating to the reduction of emissions and greenhouse gases.

There is a focus within NPF4 on ensuring that recovery from the pandemic within the business and industry sector is sustainable and inclusive, and that investment in the sector will contribute to community wealth building.

NPF4 aims to promote business and industrial uses and to enable alternative ways of working which may have accelerated in popularity post-pandemic, including home working, live-work units, and micro-businesses. Policy 26 (Business and Industry) refers to these types of proposals, stating that they will be supported where it is demonstrated that the scale of the business will not clash with neighbouring areas or amenity.

Under Policy 26, proposals for business and industry must consider the potential impact on sensitive uses, the natural and historic environment, as well as the need for appropriate site restoration at the end of a period of commercial use.

Under NPF4, major developments for manufacturing or industry must be supported by a decarbonisation strategy, which may include details of carbon capture and storage as a means of abating carbon release. The strategy will need to demonstrate how greenhouse gas emissions from industrial processes are appropriately abated.

Key Considerations for Future Development

ƒ Business and industrial development will be required to contribute to a sustainable and fair recovery from the pandemic, with lower carbon and greener

proposals that can help achieve the wider policy ambitions of net zero development for Scotland.

ƒ Proposals for new ways of working will be supported following changes to working habits during the pandemic.

ƒ Major developments for manufacturing or industry are to be accompanied by a decarbonisation strategy demonstrating how greenhouse gas emissions from industrial processes are appropriately abated.

NPF4 Briefing Notes 11

City Centres & Alternative Residential

Briefing Notes 12
NPF4

What Does NPF4 Mean for City Centres & Alternative Residential Uses?

NPF4 aims to enable city and town centres to be vibrant, healthy, creative, accessible and resilient by promoting the town centre first principle. NPF4 aims to facilitate the adaptation of centres to respond positively to long-term economic, environmental and societal changes.

NPF4 supports proposals that enhance and improve the vitality and viability of city, town and local centres and proposals that increase the mix of uses and the generation of footfall. It also no longer places a focus on retail being the predominant use in our town centres – a change from the previous status-quo. This is good news for proposals which are seeking to improve the mix of uses in our centres.

Policy 27 (City, Town, Local and Commercial Centres) seeks to ensure our centres are sustainable and a key part of this is the support for town centre living. This includes support for new build residential; reuse of vacant buildings where it can be demonstrated that the existing use is no longer viable and the proposed use adds to the viability and vitality of the area; and the conversion of vacant upper floors to residential uses.

In relation to alternative residential uses, Policy 16 (Quality Homes) supports proposals which improve affordability and choice in housing including provision of build to rent, homes for older people, homes for people undertaking further and higher education, and homes for specialist groups. NPF4 sets out that LDPs should provide a proportion of their local housing land requirements in city and town centres, however, no figure is provided for what proportion this should be.

Key Considerations for Future Development

ƒ The town centre first principle applies to development in city and town centres to promote footfall-generating development in such locations.

ƒ Residential uses at ground floor in our centres should demonstrate they will create attractive frontages, would not affect the vitality and viability of a shopping area and not result in an undesirable concentration of uses or dead frontages.

ƒ Development proposals for non-mainstream retail uses (e.g. hot food takeaways and betting offices) will not be supported if the provision would undermine the character of the area or the health and wellbeing of communities.

NPF4 Briefing Notes 13

Drive Throughs

NPF4 Briefing Notes 14

What Does NPF4 Mean for Drive-Through Facilities?

NPF4 provides a basis for the high-level management of drive-through locational choices and sets out a planning policy approach whereby new drivethroughs which do not meet certain locational criteria will not be approved.

Policy 27 (City, Town,

Local

and Commercial Centres) strengthens support for sustainable futures for city, town and local centres. The NPF4 focus on climate mitigation and tackling the nature and climate crises means that locations for drive-throughs which would generally increase car borne traffic will be avoided.

Through Policy 27, NPF4 also sets out that LDPs should identify a network of centres that reflect the principles of 20-minute neighbourhoods and the town centre vision. They should also consider, and if appropriate identify, any areas where drive-through facilities may be acceptable where they would not negatively impact on the principles of local living or sustainable travel.

Policy 27 therefore specifically notes that it will be for LDPs to set out locations where drive-through facilities may be supported.

NPF4 signals a shift away from the ‘old way’ of drivethrough facilities being developed in isolation and encourages a more sustainable locational approach rather than an outright ban. Importantly, during the Parliamentary debate on 11th January, it was stated that further guidance on drive-through development would be provided in due course. The Transitional Arrangements, published on 8th February, confirm the intention of Policy 27 is to ensure that this type of development is considered as an integral part of the wider development plan, and is not “as has been erroneously reported” a moratorium or ban on such developments.

The Transitional Arrangements confirm that when considering whether such developments are supported, planning authorities may regard wider uses that are compatible with the drive-through function to be included. Suitable locations may include for example those allocated for Class 1 shops or Class 3 food and drink.

The Scottish Government have confirmed that it will include further guidance on drive-throughs within the forthcoming Local Development Plan guidance, which will be published this Spring.

Key Considerations for Future Development

ƒ There will be a requirement for Local Authorities to be specific in the LDP as to suitable locations for drivethrough facilities.

ƒ Likely that the market will need to seek out locations where drive-through facilities will be supported - this will include sites which connect safely and easily into existing town centres/ retail locations and to bus or rail stops and active travel networks.

ƒ There is a need to consider placemaking, in particular to make it easier for pedestrians and cyclist to access ‘supportable’ sites.

ƒ A Transport Assessment analysing traffic impact of any drive-through use may be required.

ƒ Sustainability should be central to built form and function - opportunities to include PV use on roofs, green walls, recycling, and EV charging as part of future drive-through developments should be considered to create a positive case for development.

NPF4 Briefing Notes 15

Heritage Considerations

NPF4 Briefing Notes 16

What Does NPF4 Mean for Heritage?

Historic Assets and Places are covered by the first section of Policy 7 of NPF4. This states that development proposals with a potentially significant impact on historic assets or places must be accompanied by an assessment which is based on an understanding of cultural significance of the historic asset and/place.

This assessment of cultural significance already takes places in Scotland, as it forms part of HES policy guidance, and stems back to the ICOMOS Burra Charter. NPF4 is further emphasising the importance of this process to inform decision making using terminology already seen in heritage and environmental impact assessments.

In terms of policy requirements such as alterations to listed buildings, demolition, developments affecting the setting of conservation areas, scheduled monuments and designed landscapes for example, this is in the main a reiteration of current best practice and existing Local Development Plan approaches to the historic environment. The main difference being these policy requirements are now explicitly set out in national policy.

Key Considerations for Future Development

ƒ There is greater emphasis given to non-designated historic environment assets; this can be taken to mean undiscovered archaeological remains, but the meaning is broader; the opening sentence of paragraph o) states that “Non-designated historic environment assets, places and their setting should be protected and preserved in situ wherever feasible”.

ƒ NPF4 infers that historic assets that are not already recognised through designation may be harder to demolish although further guidance would need to follow on this.

NPF4 Briefing Notes 17

Housing & Green Belt

NPF4 Briefing Notes 18

What Does NPF4 Mean for Housing?

NPF4 sets out a strategy and policies that support development that helps to meet the housing needs of people living in Scotland. However, mention of the country’s acute housing crisis is absent from NPF4.

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 across Scotland. The location of new homes is to be consistent with local living (Policy 15 – Local Living and 20 Minute Neighbourhoods) including 20-minute neighbourhoods and an infrastructure first approach. In rural and island areas, a tailored approach by local planning authorities to reflect local circumstances is encouraged.

In terms of affordable housing, Policy 16 outlines that proposals for market homes will only be supported where the contribution to the provision of affordable homes on a site will be at least 25%, unless the Local Development Plan (LDP) sets out locations or circumstances where a higher or lower contribution is justified by evidence.

Linked to the main housing policies is Policy 8 (Green Belts) which states that Green Belts should be identified or reviewed as part of the preparation of LDPs and the boundaries should be based on evidence. Development proposals in the Green Belt will only be supported in specific circumstances and if certain criteria are met. Policy 9 (Brownfield, Vacant and Derelict Land and Empty Buildings) advises that proposals on greenfield sites will not be supported unless the site is allocated for development or it is explicitly supported by policies in the LDP. On the contrary, sustainable redevelopment of brownfield land is supported.

‘Crunching the Numbers’

The new Minimum All-Tenure Housing Land Requirement (MATHLR) for each local planning

authority in Scotland is now set out in Annex E. LDPs are expected to identify a Local Housing Land Requirement which exceeds the MATHLR and allocate sites to meet the LHLR. The LDP delivery programme is to establish a deliverable housing land pipeline to meet the requirement across the short (1-3 years), medium (4-6 years) and long-term (7-10 years). An annual Housing Land Audit (HLA) will monitor the delivery of housing land to inform the pipeline.

If sites earlier in the pipeline are not delivering as programmed, earlier delivery of long-term sites or areas identified for new homes beyond 10 years can be brought forward.

Unallocated sites will be supported only in limited circumstances where various criteria are met. For example, where the delivery of allocated sites is happening earlier than identified in the pipeline. There is no mechanism for unallocated sites to come forward if the Local Planning Authority’s pipeline is under delivering and longer-term sites cannot be brought forward for delivery. De-allocation of sites is to be considered where sites are no longer deliverable.

In advance of the adoption of NPF4, Scottish Government issued advice on the transitional arrangements which covers the implementation Policy 16.

The transitional arrangements confirm that as SPP (2014) has been superseded by NPF4, the requirement to maintain at least a 5 year supply of effective housing land at all times, shortfalls in supply indicating LDP policies are not up-to-date, the ‘presumption in favour of development that contributes to sustainable development’ and the concept commonly known as the ‘tilted balance’ are all no longer applicable.

However, legal commentators have stressed that parts of Policy 16 will only be applicable to decision making,

NPF4 Briefing Notes 19
NPF4 Briefing Notes 20

when NPF4 compliant LDPs are in place with a LHLR established. In the short term therefore, it seems likely that the housing land debate will have to play out at appeal and in the legal realm.

New guidance on Housing Land Audits will be prepared this year, in collaboration with key stakeholders.

Key Considerations for Future Development

ƒ The implications of Policy 16 ‘Quality Homes’ and a new 10-year Local Development Plan cycle, means there is a need to ensure early, technically robust & comprehensive submissions to emerging Local Development Plan reviews to ensure the best chance of sites being allocated for housing;

ƒ Proposals should consider how they can address gaps in provision in the area including affordable homes, range of house types, housing for older people and so on;

ƒ Demonstrating the sustainability of a site, particularly through the re-imagining of Masterplans will be key to demonstrating how sites can contribute to addressing the climate and biodiversity crises that are at the core of NPF4;

ƒ Proposals for 50 or more homes (or smaller developments if required by local policy or guidance) should be accompanied by a Statement of Community Benefit

NPF4 Briefing Notes 21

Renewable Energy

NPF4 Briefing Notes 22

What Does NPF4 Mean for Renewable Energy?

A rapid increase in electricity generation from renewable sources is recognised as essential for Scotland to meet its net zero emissions targets by 2045. NPF4 is supportive in principle of all renewable energy development including generation, storage, low-carbon and zero emission technologies.

Policy 11 (Energy) states that development proposals for renewable energy projects will be supported where they maximise net economic impact, including local and community socio-economic benefits such as employment, and associated business and supply chain opportunities. Iceni can provide socio-economic benefit statements which assess such benefits.

One point to note on the siting of renewable energy developments is that Policy 11 states wind farms in National Parks and National Scenic Areas will not be supported.

There is a requirement for the design of proposed developments to demonstrate how any impacts on communities and individual dwellings, significant landscape and visual impacts, public access impacts, aviation, traffic, biodiversity, woodland and water impacts are addressed. In assessing proposals, significant weight will be placed on the contribution of the proposal to renewable energy generation targets and on greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets.

NPF4 policies relating to soils, natural places, forestry and nature crises will also be key considerations for renewable energy proposals with these policies seeking to protect and enhance biodiversity, and protect valued soils and woodland. The generation of energy from renewable sources is one of the few proposals which may be supported on peatland and carbon rich soils, provided that the proposal optimises the contribution of the area to greenhouse gas emissions reductions targets.

Key Considerations for Future Development

ƒ Under Policy 11, considerations including community impacts, LVIA, aviation and transport impacts are to be taken into account in assessing all renewable energy proposals.

ƒ National Parks and National Scenic Areas remain no-go areas for wind farms.

ƒ Significant weight will be placed on the contribution of renewable energy proposals to renewable energy generation targets and on greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets.

ƒ Renewable energy proposals will be supported where they maximise net economic impact.

NPF4 Briefing Notes 23

Retail Development

NPF4 Briefing Notes 24

What Does NPF4 Mean for Retail Development?

The key retail policy within NPF4 is Policy 28 (Retail) This policy is based on the well-established ‘town centre first principle’ and as such does not move the dial hugely beyond the majority of current LDP policies on retail development.

Retail proposals will continue to be supported in existing city, town and local centres. They will also be supported in edge of centre areas or in commercial centres if they are allocated as sites suitable for new retail development within the relevant LDP.

This means that it will be important to secure allocation through the LDP consultation process for sites in edge of centre locations, or in established commercial centres. This is not dissimilar to the current status-quo, where LDPs are generally supportive of the principle of retail development in these areas (subject to assessment against other relevant LDP policies).

Policy 28 also states that new retail development will not be supported in out of centre locations, though there are some stated exceptions to this as follows:

ƒ The development contributes to local living, including where relevant 20 min neighbourhoods and / or;

ƒ The development can be demonstrated to contribute to the health and wellbeing of the local community.

Iceni Projects has a strong track record of providing justification for out of centre retail proposals. We consider that the above policy, while potentially adding an additional layer of difficulty to this type of development, provides enough flexibility to not prohibit out of centre retail proposals entirely, subject to appropriate justification.

Key Considerations for Future Development

ƒ The NPF4 continues the well-established application of the ‘town centre first’ principle when assessing new retail proposals.

ƒ Retail proposals within city, town and local centres will continue to be supported in principle.

ƒ Retail proposals in edge of centre locations, or commercial centres, will be supported where allocated within Local Development Plans.

ƒ For retail proposals in out of centre locations, it will be important to provide adequate justification and demonstrate that the development would contribute to local living (i.e. 20-minute neighbourhoods), and/ or would have positive impacts on the health and wellbeing of the local community.

NPF4 Briefing Notes 25

Retirement Living

NPF4 Briefing Notes 26

What Does NPF4 Mean for Retirement Living?

NPF4 is required by law to meet the housing needs of people living in Scotland including, in particular, the housing needs for older people and disabled people.

There is a focus within NPF4 towards facilitating older people staying in their own homes as they age (Policy 15 (Local Living) refers to providing the “ability to age in place” in new housing). The provision of adaptable homes, which can be modified to suit changing requirements of their occupants as they age, is therefore likely to be an important consideration for new applications for mainstream residential development.

This raises potential longer-term implications for housing supply if older people are living in their homes for longer, which may serve to take-up an increasingly larger proportion of available mainstream homes. There may also be implications on healthcare services if a greater proportion of society requires at-home care. However, that is maybe a discussion for another day.

Notwithstanding, under Policy 16 (Quality Homes) there is support for “homes for older people, including supported accommodation, care homes and sheltered housing” where gaps in provision have been identified.

NPF4 also places a requirement on Local Authorities to prepare Evidence Reports which explain the actions taken to support and promote the construction of housing to meet the needs of older and disabled people. Further detail on these Evidence Reports is not yet known – however, it appears likely that a Statement of Need will be required to accompany planning applications for new care home development where it has not been specifically allocated within LDPs.

Key Considerations for Future Development

ƒ Likely to be a stronger requirement for new build housing to be adaptable to enable “ageing in place”. The detailed requirements for this are likely to be set out in future LDPs.

ƒ There will be a requirement for Local Authorities to monitor construction of housing meeting the needs of older people, and publish their findings in ‘Evidence Reports’.

ƒ Detailed analysis and a ‘Statement of Need’ may help to justify future applications for care home development.

NPF4 Briefing Notes 27

Reuse & Retrofit

NPF4 Briefing Notes 28

What Does NPF4 Mean for Reuse & Retrofit?

Whilst there is no specific policy within NPF4, the term ‘reuse’ is widely referred to throughout the document, in relation to promotion of the reuse of buildings generally. Given the need to conserve embodied carbon, the reuse of existing buildings, in lieu of demolition and subsequent new build, is the preferred option.

Within the section of NPF4 related to ‘Brownfield, vacant and derelict land, and empty buildings’, the policy intent is to encourage, promote and facilitate the reuse of empty buildings, and to help reduce the need for greenfield development. The policy outcome looks to ensure that derelict buildings and spaces are regenerated to improve wellbeing and transform places.

Historic Assets and Places are covered by the first section of Policy 7 (Historic Assets and Places) of NPF4. Within this section it is stated that development proposals for the demolition of listed buildings will not be supported unless it has been demonstrated that there are exceptional circumstances and that all reasonable efforts have been made to retain, reuse and/or adapt the listed building.

Development proposals for the reuse, alteration or extension of a listed building will only be supported where they will preserve its character, special architectural or historic interest and setting. Development proposals affecting the setting of a listed building should preserve its character, and its special architectural or historic interest.

In terms of the policy requirements such as alterations to listed buildings, demolition, developments affecting the setting of conservation areas, scheduled monuments and designed landscapes for example, this is in the main a reiteration of current best practice and existing local development plan approaches to the historic environment. NPF4 aligns with current policy and best practice guidance in Scotland.

Within the Six Qualities of Successful Place set out within NPF4, Quality 5 relating to sustainability and the efficient use of resources acknowledges the transition to net zero and the inclusion of energy / carbon efficient solutions, retrofitting, reuse and repurposing.

Key Considerations for Future Development

ƒ Policy 2 within NPF4 confirms that retrofit measures to existing development that reduce emissions or support adaptation to climate change will be supported.

ƒ NPF4 also notes that Local Development Plans should set out opportunities for the sustainable reuse of empty buildings. Development proposals for the reuse of existing buildings will be supported, taking into account their suitability for conversion to other uses.

NPF4 Briefing Notes 29

Tourism

NPF4 Briefing Notes 30

What Does NPF4 Mean for Tourism?

NPF4 is in general supportive of tourism development and recognises the economic, social and cultural benefits this type of development can bring. Notwithstanding, there is a clear focus within the NPF4 on sustainable tourism and ensuring that these benefits are realised by local communities.

Policy 30 (Tourism) encourages local authorities to support the recovery, growth and long-term resilience of the tourism sector. It states that proposals for new or extended tourist facilities in locations identified in the LDP will be supported. This places the onus on local authorities to identify locations where tourism development will be acceptable within their Local Development Plan (LDPs).

Policy 30 also sets out key considerations for local authorities when assessing proposals for tourism development. These include economic impact; compatibility with the surrounding area; impacts on communities (e.g. hindering the provision of homes); opportunities for sustainable travel; accessibility for disabled people; carbon reduction; and, opportunities to access the natural environment.

NPF4 policy on tourism also ties-in with recent legislation on short term lets. Policy 30 states that the change of use of existing buildings to short term lets will not be supported where the proposal will result in an unacceptable impact on local amenity, or the loss of residential accommodation (where such a loss is not outweighed by demonstrable local economic benefits).

Key Considerations for Future Development

ƒ The principle of new tourist accommodation is supported in NPF4 in areas which are allocated for such uses by local authorities.

ƒ There is an increased focus on sustainable tourism, where benefits of tourism development are shared with local communities. The impact of proposals on amenity and character of local areas will also be a key consideration.

ƒ NPF4 seeks to control change of use to short-term lets, in line with recently introduced national legislation.
