ERYC Strategic Environmental Assessment Screening Opinion – Ellerker Neighbourhood Plan

The result of this initial screening is that an Environmental Report covering the requirements of the Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive is not required and that a Habitats Regulations Assessment is not required to accompany the Ellerker Neighbourhood Development Plan.

The screening opinion has been published and made available to view on the ERYC website.

The next step is the consultation process. The ERYC Planning Policy team are preparing a policy map, which will be included as an appendix to the Ellerker Plan along with a list of statutory consultees to whom the plan will be shared.

Please find attached the latest version of the Neighbourhood Development Plan which has been updated to include the revised local green spaces information.

The Ellerker Neighbourhood Planning Group are working on the draft Basic Conditions Statement to bring it in line with the advice received from the ERYC Planning  Policy Team. The draft Consultation Statement will be updated once the Regulation 14 pre-submission consultations have been undertaken.

We would like to inform you about the progress of the Ellerker Neighbourhood Development Plan, which we consulted you about last year . The core of the plan, covering the years 2024 to 2039, based on your feedback has been developed with the assistance of Urban Glow consultants, funded by a grant we received. We are currently fine-tuning the plan with the help of EYRC to ensure it meets our requirements and can pass an external examiner’s scrutiny, as required by law.

We will be consulting you again for your opinions over a six-week period in the near future as mandated by regulation, on the pre-submission plan. The plan will be publicised for your review before the independent examination. This will be followed by a referendum, and if the referendum supports the plan, it will be adopted.

Representatives from Ellerker Parish Council met with the Openreach Chief Engineer – Technical Fibre on Friday 3rd May 2024 to discuss the proposed sites of additional wooden telegraph poles required to improve and future-proof broadband speed to the village. Further information was provided for residents at the Annual Parish Meeting on Thursday 9th May 2024.

The additional poles will be on Howden Croft Hill with 2 positioned on the opposite verge and 1 near the top of the hill on the house side. There will also be 1 additional pole on Ring Beck Lane. The telegraph poles will support the upgrade of the old copper network to full fibre. Poles need to be closer together to support the upgrade but only this part of the village requires new poles due to the age of this part of the network. There will be one single new wire connecting these telegraph poles.

It was clear that Openreach and other providers have faced residents’ opposition in other villages and are taking every step they can, within the realms of what is possible, to minimize disruption and protect views from houses. Residents have had the opportunity to contact BT Openreach as per the information provided on the current telegraph poles. The benefit to residents will be an increase in Broadband speed from circa 80 Mbps to 900Mbps. The work should be completed by the end of July.

The planned installation date for the new telegraph pole on Ring Beck Lane (Opposite Holmfield) is Tuesday 14th May and the Howden Croft Hill poles on Friday 17th May 2024. The Howden Croft Hill Poles will be opposite the boundary of Howden Croft / Rosemount, Rise Garth / Hill Garth and outside Mayflower (Just to the north of the gate but shielded by the current trees).
