[email protected] www.fordhamresearch.com Foreword FOREWORD Structure and nature of the report This (Strategic Housing Market Assessment) SHMA report is divided into sections. The logic for the sections derives from the Brief for the work, Government Guidance and the need for a logical explanation of the work. An additional section is also included detailing updated information that has become available as the result of further result commissioned since the original SHMA report was produced. At the start of each section the chapter titles and short summary of content are listed, in order to assist the reader to gain a brief overview of the detailed contents. A more substantial overview is provided in the Executive Summary. A considerable part of this report is devoted to following the many stages of the department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) Practice Guidance (March and August 2007) whose stages are labelled throughout the relevant chapters. Since the stages/steps of the Guidance are not numbered sequentially in each chapter of the Guidance, we have added a chapter number identifier (so Step 5.1 becomes 5.5.1 if Guidance Chapter 5 is involved). The next page of this report provides a summary list of the chapters. Detailed contents of each chapter are presented after the Glossary, at the end of the report. These can be used as an index when seeking further information on a given topic. Reports such as this use a multitude of data sources, many of which are frequently altered or updated. In that respect the report is constantly evolving. In the critical respect of housing markets and affordable housing, however, a procedure is given in the last chapter for updating that key area. Conventions: key terms and maps The Glossary provides a detailed list describing the meaning of the main terms used in this report. Maps are typically shown in terms of degrees of intensity, rather than by specific numbers. That is because the distributions would be uninformative if, for instance, an equal four-way split were used. Each distribution is examined so as to show its variation effectively – this may mean that three categories lie in the last quarter of the overall range. Acknowledgements A large-scale assessment of this nature is a collaborative effort and Fordham Research wish to thank all members of the SHMA partnership for their support, guidance and contributions. We would also like to thank those local stakeholders who participated in the discussion and whose local knowledge and views have been immensely helpful.

Page 1 Gloucestershire and Districts - Strategic Housing Market Assessment Page 2 1. Introduction 1. Introduction The purpose of this chapter is to explain: • What a Strategic Housing Market Assessment is • Why Gloucestershire Councils undertook the work • What methodology was employed • How the report is structured What is a Strategic Housing Market Assessment? 1.1 Strategic Housing Market Assessments (SHMAs) are used by local authorities and regional bodies to develop a good understanding of how housing markets operate. They promote an approach to assessing housing need and demand which can inform the development of Local Development Documents and Regional Spatial Strategy planning for housing policies, as set out in Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing. 1.2 More specifically, the value of Strategic Housing Market Assessments (SHMAs) is in assisting policy development, decision-making and resource-allocation processes by: • enabling regional bodies to develop long-term strategic views of housing need and demand to inform Regional Spatial Strategies and regional housing strategies • enabling local authorities to think spatially about the nature and influence of the housing markets in respect to their local area • providing robust evidence to inform policies aimed at providing the right mix of housing across the whole housing market – both market and affordable housing • providing evidence to inform policies about the level of affordable housing required, including the need for different sizes of affordable housing • supporting authorities to develop a strategic approach to housing through consideration of housing need and demand in all housing sectors – owner-occupied, private rented and affordable – and assessment of the key drivers and relationships within the housing market • drawing together the bulk of the evidence required for local authorities to appraise strategic housing options including social housing allocation priorities, the role of intermediate housing products, stock renewal, conversion, demolition and transfer; and • ensuring the most appropriate and cost-effective use of public funds Page 3 Gloucestershire and Districts - Strategic Housing Market Assessment 1.3 It also encourages local authorities to assess housing need and demand in terms of housing market areas. This might involve working with other local authorities in a sub- regional housing market area through a housing market partnership. 1.4 The Guidance describes a series of steps and processes. This report, at least, adheres to these guidelines although in most instances it also provides additional analysis. Why Gloucestershire Councils undertook the work 1.5 The South West Regional Housing Strategy 2005 to 16 identified the Gloucester- Cheltenham sub-region as a Housing Market Area. The area is centred on the County of Gloucestershire but incorporates some of its surrounding areas both within and outside of the South West region. 1.6 The six Gloucestershire district

  • Hello Comments Have Been Submitted Regarding Proposal Development
    Hello Comments have been submitted regarding proposal Development of an automated petrol filling station. at Asda Supermarket Kingsway Business Park Newhaven Road Quedgeley Gloucester GL2 2SN. The following objection was made today by Mr Chuen Tsang. live in Kingsway and I shop daily at Asda, Kingsway. I object to the proposed plans for a petrol filling station for the following reasons:- 1. It appears that the petrol station is located on the edge of the site (near the roundabout). The concern is that this is located too close to the residential properties across the site and also too close to the children's recreational area across from Asda. The concern is that the fumes will spread to these areas causing pollution and potential health issues to the residents. 2. We already have petrol stations that are 3 minutes away in Tesco, Quedgeley, Shell on Bristol Road and a petrol station on the Hardwicke roundabout. There is more than enough petrol facilities within easy reach. 3. On an aesthetic level, it is not appealing to see and potentially smell a petrol station as you enter Kingsway Village as you walk and drive. It will spoil the beauty of the surrounding area. The entrance of Kingsway should be kept as it is with the beautiful and pleasant green landscaping which will help to balance the busy-ness of the main access road that connects to the dual carriageway. 4. Over the past 3 years of living here, the amount of traffic on this access road has grown substantially and this will only increase further and could be quite dangerous if the traffic queues up (especially in bad weather and poor visibility days).

For those who have joined the ARRC family since the last publication, a very warm welcome to you and your families. Spring in Gloucestershire is a wonderful time and I hope you will take the opportunity to explore the local and regional attractions that are on offer in the lead in to Summer. The editorial team have included a good selection of attractions on the events page further inside. This year will be professionally challenging but deeply rewarding as we prepare to take over as NATO’s high readiness reaction force Headquarters on 1st January 2017. This will involve us taking part in a number of challenging training exercises, both in the UK and overseas. It will be a busy time for all of us and the support our families provide will be an essential part of how we generate success over the coming months. Sadly, this is the last time I write my introduction to the Imjin magazine. I leave the ARRC this Summer after a number of very happy years with the ARRC Group both in Germany and here in Gloucestershire. Your service and friendship to Helen and me has been tremendous; thank you. We leave with some tremendous memories and it has been a real privilege to command the Allied Rapid Reaction Coprs.
