  • Housing Needs Assessment Sub-Area Profiles
    Housing Needs Assessment 2020 Sub-Area Profile Wigan Council Housing Needs Assessment Affordable Housing Need – Wigan Sub-Area Profiles 1 Housing Needs Assessment 2020 Sub-Area Profile Executive Summary Introduction The Wigan Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) 2020 provides the council with up-to-date evidence to support the local plan and its future development. It also provides detailed, robust, and defensible evidence to help determine local housing priorities and to inform the council’s new housing strategy. This research provides an up-to-date analysis of the social, economic, housing, and demographic characteristics of the area. The HNA identifies the type and size of housing needed by tenure and household type. It considers the need for affordable housing and the size, type, and tenure of housing need for specific groups within the borough. The HNA (2020) incorporates: • extensive review, analysis, and modelling of existing (secondary) data. • a comprehensive household survey (Primary Data) • interviews with estate and letting agents operating within the borough; and an online survey of stakeholders. The evidence base for the housing needs assessment (HNA) has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the February 2019 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and associated Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) and the findings provide an up-to-date, robust, and defensible evidence base for policy development, in accordance with Government policy and guidance. Considering the forthcoming new affordable homes programme Wigan Council are keen to see the affordable housing needs of the borough considered when registered providers are seeking to bring forward new schemes. Our HNA provides us with robust data at a sub area level which should allow us to shape the affordable housing offers in each of these areas and meet our defined housing needs.

But too many of them are suffering from neglect, decay and pressure from development. Heritage at Risk is a national project to identify these endangered places and then help secure their future. In 2008 English Heritage published its first register of Heritage at Risk – a region-by-region list of all the Grade I and II* listed buildings (and Grade II listed buildings in London), structural scheduled monuments, registered battlefields and protected wreck sites in England known to be ‘at risk’.

  • Bridgewater Canal Conservation Area, Leigh
    Bridgewater Canal Conservation Area Appraisal June 2012 Conservation Area Appraisals The Council has prepared character appraisals for most of the Borough’s conservation areas. They provide a useful record of the particular architectural or historical characteristics of each conservation area, identify the buildings which are most important from a heritage point of view and are helpful guidance in determining planning applications which may affect the character of the area. They are also useful in recording change that has happened over time and for making alterations that may be necessary to the boundaries of the conservation area. The preparation of each character appraisal follows a similar format and all are subject to public consultation before being adopted by the Council. Comments are invited on this draft appraisal. They should be sent to [email protected] or by post to Planning Policy, Places Directorate, Wigan Council, PO Box 100, Wigan WN1 3DS by 5pm on Wednesday 11th July 2012. There is also an exhibition and drop in session at Leigh Library on 27th June and 2nd July 2012 from 2pm – 7pm.

Assessment of sites submitted during ‘Call for Sites’ consultation G. Site proformas - separate document Disclaimer The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment does not allocate land for residential development but provides evidence, alongside other studies, to inform the allocation of land through the Local Plan. It assesses whether sites are suitable for housing, provided they are not required for other purposes, in order to meet plan targets. It identifies constraints to development and considers how they might be overcome. The inclusion of a particular site in the assessment should not, therefore, be taken as an indication that it will be allocated or granted planning permission for housing or any other form of development. All future planning applications will be considered individually and will be assessed against policies in the development plan and National Planning Policy Framework. 3 2016 Wigan Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (December 2016) 1. Introduction and background 1.1 This is the Wigan Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 2016 Update. It is a key component of the evidence base to support the delivery of sufficient land for housing; to meet the borough’s need for more homes; and to inform housing policies within the Wigan Local Plan, including the emerging Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF).
