LDF Core Output Indicators Not Included in Core Strategy
A small number of the national core output indicators have not been included in the
Core Strategy. The Table below explains the reasons why they have been
omitted.
National Core Output Indicator
3a. Percentage of completed nonresidential development complying
with car parking standards set out in
the local development framework.
Reason for Omission from Core
Strategy Monitoring Framework
Issue dealt with in City Policies
document.
5a. Production of primary land won
aggregates
No workable mineral deposits in
Sheffield
5b. Production of secondary/
recycled aggregates.
No direct planning control over
production of secondary/ recycled
aggregates and it is unclear who
would be responsible for collecting
the data. This is a recognised
problem in the RSS Annual
Monitoring Report
7. Number of planning permissions
Issue dealt with in City Policies
granted contrary to the advice of
document.
the Environment Agency on either
flood defence grounds or water
quality.
8. Change in areas and populations
of biodiversity importance, including:
(i)
(ii)
change in priority habitats
and species (by type); and
change in areas
designated for their
intrinsic environmental
value including sites of
international, national,
regional, sub-regional
significance or local
significance.
Issue dealt with in City Policies
document. However, there are
currently insufficient resources
available to collect this data on an
annual basis (see comment by
English Nature below). A local
indicator will be included instead

conservation sites lost to
development)
