North East Derbyshire and Bassetlaw Local Investment Plan North Derbyshire and Bassetlaw Housing Market Area Local Investment Plan North Derbyshire and Bassetlaw Housing Market Area FOREWORD This is the first Local Investment Plan for the Housing Market Area and has been prepared jointly by the six local authorities and the Homes and Communities Agency. The plan sets out our shared priorities for regeneration and economic development. It will play a major role in supporting sustainable economic growth both within the Housing Market Area and the wider Sheffield City Region and Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire counties. The plan recognises that each local authority faces a unique set of issues and is based on robust analysis and understanding of the evidence base across the Housing Market Area. The investment priorities outlined in the plan flow directly from the strategic challenges and needs identified. The plan has been prepared through extensive consultation across all partners. It represents a first step in a process that will lead to a Local Investment Agreement between the individual local authorities and the HCA. The plan is a ‘live’ document that will be updated and is flexible to respond to changing government priorities and opportunities that may arise. The process of preparing this plan has been hugely beneficial as it sets out our shared priorities over the short and longer term, providing a framework for decision making in the restricted public spending environment we are in. Members and officers in the Housing Market Area are fully committed to the priorities in this plan and will work innovatively to deliver effectively and efficiently.

INTRODUCTION NDB HMA Local Investment Plan 1.1. This Local Investment Plan has been prepared by each of the six local authority partners within the North Derbyshire and Bassetlaw Housing Market Area (HMA): Bassetlaw District Council Bolsover District Council Chesterfield Borough Council North East Derbyshire District Council Derbyshire County Council Nottinghamshire County Council 1.2. HMA status was designated in 2005 and the local authorities have a long history of working in partnership. A Strategic Housing Market Assessment was completed in 2007 and more recently a Joint Housing Strategy (November 2009) was completed, providing the framework for the Local Investment Plan (LIP). 1.3. The LIP has a clear ‘Place’ focus and is geared towards interventions to be delivered by the local authorities in partnership with the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). The LIP has a core housing focus but recognises that the growth and sustainability of the HMA’s housing market will in large part be driven by the successful achievement of the area’s economic growth ambitions. Alongside interventions directly related to housing supply the LIP highlights the critical role of key settlements in driving growth ambitions and the need to unlock the mixed-use development potential of strategic brownfield opportunities across the HMA. 1.4. Partners have identified four HMA priority intervention themes: Support economic development and regeneration Increase the supply of affordable housing Improve the quality of existing housing stock Provide supported housing 1.5. The LIP recognises that each local authority faces a unique set of issues and that progress to date in addressing identified needs varies across the HMA. Critically, Local Investment Agreements (LIAs), which will underpin delivery of the LIP, will be negotiated and agreed at local authority level. 1.6. The LIP presents individual local investment plans for each local authority under the umbrella of the HMA wide intervention themes. This provides the opportunity for local investment priorities to be clearly highlighted and understood. This approach will also help to facilitate the negotiations of individual LIAs and also provide greater flexibility in disaggregating local authority priorities in what is currently an evolving policy and institutional environment. 2 Local Investment Plan North Derbyshire and Bassetlaw Housing Market Area 1.7. The LIP is intended to be a live document which will be updated on an ongoing basis. Focus is given to the initial 3 year period 2011 – 2014, however, medium and long-term investment priorities are also identified. 1.8. The local authority partners have identified the following initiatives as the highest priorities for addressing local needs over years 1 to 3 of the plan: TABLE 1.1: BASSETLAW Priority Overview Delivery Output/outcome Canalside Specialist workspace Local authority 745 sq m new commercial Creative proposal targeting high owned site floorspace accommodating c.

    Although this report was commissioned by Highways England, the findings and recommendations are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Highways England. While Highways England has made every effort to ensure the information in this document is accurate, Highways England does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of that information; and it cannot accept liability for any loss or damages of any kind resulting from reliance on the information or guidance this document contains. Post Opening Project Evaluation of Major Schemes M1 Junction 25 to 28 Widening Five Years After Opening Study – Key Points What is the scheme? Situated between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, the scheme opened to traffic in 2010. The scheme involved widening a 14 mile (23km) section of carriageway on the M1 motorway between junction 25 at Sandiacre, Derbyshire and junction 28 at Pinxton, Derbyshire. The road was widened from 3 to 4 lanes in each direction. Soon afterwards a controlled motorway technology scheme was implemented on the same scheme section. What are the main findings from the study? Overall, there has been a negligible change in traffic flows across the scheme extent. Average journey times across the scheme have reduced by around 1 minute. There has been decrease in the number of personal injury collisions since the scheme opened, with an average annual saving of 26 collisions and 50 casualties on the scheme itself. The majority of environmental impacts are as expected. The investment cost of building the scheme was 13% lower than forecast. The scheme delivers a Benefit Cost Ratio of 1.7, lower than expected due to the lower traffic levels giving lower benefits.

  • Agency Information - Environmental Health (V3.0 2020 July) Page 1 of 2
    Information about agencies to be shared in ‘Making Enquiries under S.42’ training 1. Who are we? Environmental Health Service 2. Who are we? Each Local Authority, with the exception of Derbyshire County Council (DCC), has environmental health professionals in the form of Environmental Health Officers (EHOs)/ Environmental Health Practitioners (EHPs)/ Environmental Health Technical Officers (EHTO), Enforcement Officers who can enforce various types of public health, housing, pollution, food and health and safety legislation. They are primarily regulatory officers but do play a major role in protecting public health, maintaining a safe environment and have both technical and scientific expertise to offer support and advice to partnering agencies, businesses, community groups and the public. 3. What do we do? (The below text sets out some of the relevant areas in s.42 enquiries, but is not limited to these items). EHOs/EHPs/EHTOs/Enforcement Officers have a regulatory role in ensuring public safety in a wide number of areas; being responsible for carrying out measures to protect public health, enforcing legislation relating to the natural and built environments that benefit human health and providing support to minimize health and safety hazards. Particular statutory obligations relate to domestic home environments to ensure ‘fitness for habitation’ by the removal of serious hazards (known as Category 1 hazards*) to achieve the ideal standards within a property. The risk of harm to a person may arise given physical and psychological hazards in the home environment i.e. structural collapse, carbon monoxide from defective appliances, or excess cold from poorly heated and insulated homes. Table 1 below indicates some of the key hazard areas which are checked when a property is assessed by an EH Professional.

  • EAST MIDLANDS REGION - Wednesday 8 June 2016
    MINUTES OF THE DECISIONS OF THE COMMISSION ON THE INITIAL PROPOSALS FOR THE EAST MIDLANDS REGION - Wednesday 8 June 2016 Session 1: Wednesday 8 June 2016 Present: David Elvin QC, Commissioner Neil Pringle, Commissioner Sam Hartley, Secretary to the Commission Tony Bellringer, Deputy Secretary to the Commission Tim Bowden, Head of Reviews Glenn Reed, Review Manager Sam Amponsah, Review Officer Mr Reed and Mr Amponsah presented the Secretariat's schemes to Commissioners. Lincolnshire The Commissioners considered that, due to its almost whole allocation of constituencies with a Theoretical Entitlement (TE) to 6.97 constituencies, Lincolnshire could be treated on its own and should continue to be allocated seven constituencies. Commissioners considered that the two constituencies of Gainsborough, and South Holland and the Deepings could remain wholly unchanged, while Grantham and Stamford CC, and Louth and Horncastle CC would be changed following changes to local government ward boundaries. The electorate of the existing Sleaford and North Hykeham CC constituency was too large at 86,652, while that of its neighbouring constituencies of Lincoln BC (at 67,115) and Boston and Skegness CC (66,250) were too small. Commissioners therefore agreed that the five wards comprising the town of North Hykeham, and the Waddington West ward be included in the new Lincoln constituency, which in turn loses the Bracebridge Heath and Waddington East ward to the Sleaford constituency. It would not be possible to retain this ward in the Lincoln constituency without dividing the town of North Hykeham. In order to further reduce the electorate of the existing Sleaford and North Hykeham constituency, and to increase that of Boston and Skegness, Commissioners also agreed the transfer of the additional two wards of Kirkby la Thorpe and South Kyme, and Heckington Rural from the existing Sleaford constituency.
