LP208


Castleford Riverside, Castleford (AMENDED)Site Name


This Special Policy Area allocation is carried forward from the Site Specific PoliciesLocal Plan 2012. The primary purpose of this allocation is to facilitate initiatives to


regenerate the eastern area of Castleford. The Special Policy Area is included inthe Aire River Growth Corridor Masterplan which was approved by the Council inJune 2018. Major planning applications in the Special Policy Area shall have regardto the masterplan and any updates or revisions to it that the Council approve.Particular regard shall be had to the vision and objectives of the masterplan andthe Masterplan Framework, Sustainability Strategy, Strategic Design Guidance,Health and Wellbeing and Delivery and Phasing sections of the Masterplan whenpreparing planning applications. The area shall incorporate a range of housingtypes which will include custom and self build housing. Areas of the site, any oneof which shall be a maximum of 1 hectare, shall be identified for development bysmall or medium sized builders. The Special Policy Area covers an extensive areato the east of Castleford town centre. It includes both green field and previouslydeveloped land including the partly reclaimed former Wheldale Colliery, the formerC6 Solutions chemical plant, tracts of land affected by shallow sand workings andpockets of previously demolished residential areas and cleared industrial sites, allof which have the potential to be redeveloped once necessary remediation hastaken place.The following sites are specifically identified for development:Mixed Use Former C6 Solutions site – Housing. The site could also accommodate extra careresidential provision for older people, a local centre (Use Classes A1 to A4, C1and D1) and public open space.Housing Castleford Tigers Ground Land at Pemberton DriveLand at Saxon Way Land to the South of Wheldon Road Wheldale Farm Stansfield Road Nestle SiteLand North of St. Andrews Road, Fryston.Employment / Visitor Attraction Wheldale CollierySchool Expansion Site Arriva Bus Depot. This site lies adjacent to the Wakefield Air Quality ManagementArea. Air quality mitigation will be required to accord with the West Yorkshire LowEmissions Strategy and associated planning technical guidance.



All major development proposals need to consider:EcologyPotential riverside wildlife habitats, such as wetlands should be fully consideredin development proposals. Development proposals must take full account of theWildlife Habitat Network and designated national and local wildlife sites on bothsides of the River Aire.The Wildlife Habitat Network will be retained and associatedwildlife habitat areas enhanced potentially in accordance with provision ofgreenspace.In the eastern part of the Special Policy Area it would be appropriate to enhancethe existing wildlife habitat and establish an area for nature conservation tocomplement Fairburn Ings Nature Reserve. An environmental buffer zone will becreated adjacent to the River Aire which will incorporate:(i) the functional floodplain, apart from the former colliery basin area (which couldpresent an opportunity for waterways related development on the southern sideof the basin); and(ii) land in the triangle bounded by the River Aire, the Castleford – Goole railwayline, and the easterly limit of the functional floodplain area.This land will be allowedto regenerate naturally, but with additional environmental enhancement, which willbe a requirement of the development of land north of the railway line at NewFryston.Green Space Public Open Space will be required in identified residential areas. These shallamount to at least 10% of the onsite area in individual housing sites.Archaeology The Special Policy Area coincides with an area of high archaeological potentialtherefore a desk-based archaeological assessment will be required for alldevelopment sites, but if this cannot assess the interest a field evaluation will berequired.Air Quality An area of the Special Policy Area lies within the Castleford Air Quality ManagementArea and also contains development sites close to or adjacent to this Air QualityManagement Area. Proposals may negatively impact on air quality in the SpecialPolicy Area and the wider area. Proposals will be required to contribute to air qualityimprovement measures. Air quality mitigation will be required to accord with theWest Yorkshire Low Emissions Strategy and associated planning technicalguidance.Wheldale Waste Water Treatment Works Development will be coordinated with upgrades at the waste water treatment works.Due to the nature of the operations undertaken at the Wheldale waste watertreatment works there is a risk of noise, odours and pest problems such as Flies.The location of sensitive receptors, for example housing, within 400 metres of thetreatment works boundary will require detailed investigations to ensure futureoccupiers of any development do not suffer an unacceptable loss of amenity. Anyplanning applications should reflect these investigations and include any necessarymitigation measures.



Land Quality On certain sites, particularly but not exclusively those that are previously developed,future proposals will need to satisfactorily deal with contaminated land issues inaccordance with national policy. A phase I desktop study, a phase II siteinvestigation and remediation options appraisal will normally be required. As partof the Special Policy Area has been affected by former coal mining activity dueconsideration will need to be given to this aspect and any required remediationmeasures will need to be identified and implemented to ensure that developmentis ultimately safe and stable.Highways and Transportation The scale of development may have an impact on the capacity, operation andsafety of the strategic and local road network.Transport assessments or statements,as appropriate, will be required to assess in detail the impact on the local andstrategic road networks and, in the case of assessments, will need to incorporatea travel plan. The need for physical mitigation measures on the strategic and localroad networks must be investigated. The details of any proposed mitigationmeasures, including their funding and implementation, shall be agreed with theCouncil and the Highways England. It is expected that developer contributions willbe required from this development to help fund these measures. In particularcontributions may be required to the Castleford Growth Corridor Scheme.Sites and parts of sites may come forward separately or be phased. When this isthe case the requirements for transport assessment, travel planning, investigationof physical mitigation and the need to agree the scheme and funding with theCouncil and the Highways England will still apply.This is a very large area that willhave a significant impact on public transport need and this will need to be in detailas proposals are brought forward. Interventions and contributions may be requiredwhich could include the re-routing of existing services and / or providingcontributions to new services. There should be improved public transport accessto Castleford town centre.Many developments are likely to involve the Council working in partnership withprivate sector developers and government agencies to secure an adequate packageof funding.The Castleford Growth Corridor Scheme, a major Local Road Network Scheme,runs through area. Proposals will need to be coordinated with the delivery of thisscheme and contributions may be required.Public Rights of Way will be protected and enhanced. Pedestrian and cyclingaccess through the area should be provided to give access to the riverside areaand deliver the Strategic Leisure Corridors identified on the policies map.Education For residential development an assessment of educational requirements is neededand a developer contribution may be required.Water Management Parts of the Special Policy Area, especially in the western area, lie within floodzones 2, 3a and 3b. Proposals in these zones have been subject to the sequentialand, as required, exception tests. Flood risk is a significant issue in this area andall development proposals must be accompanied by a flood risk assessment whichshould address all relevant issues. More vulnerable development, including housing,will not be located in areas subject to flooding in the 1 in 100 year event.Therefore,for development to take place in these areas the proposals must meet therequirements of local and national policy on flood risk.Planning applications must provide a drainage strategy / scheme to deal withsurface water flood risk within individual development sites which does not increaseflood risk



elsewhere.Historic An assessment of the impact of proposed development schemes on the setting oflisted buildings or buildings of local interest within and adjacent to developmentsites must be provided.Health Individual applications for residential development will need to include anassessment of health services and a developer contribution may be required. TheSpecial Policy Area is within or close to an area of significant health deprivation.Individual planning applications will need to include a Health Impact Assessment.Employment and Skills Development This site is located in an area where there is a key policy objective to provideemployment, apprenticeship and skills development opportunities for local residents.The Council will seek to secure these opportunities as far as possible.
