  • Community Buildings and Halls in South Worcestershire (2019)
    Community Buildings and Halls in South Worcestershire (2019) Forming part of the South Worcestershire Open Space Assessment and Community Buildings and Halls Report (FINAL MAY 2019) Contents 1 Introduction Page 1 2 A summary of work completed Page 3 3 An overview of provision and issues arising from the above work Page 6 4 A justified and recommended standard for the provision of village Page 14 halls and community buildings 5 Applying the standard Page 17 Appendix: Facility Spreadsheet (separate electronic document) Leisure and the Environment in association with Ethos Environmental Planning Ltd 1 Introduction This is one of three reports provided within the overall Open Space Assessment for South Worcestershire 2019. It is informed by a Community and Stakeholder Consultation Report, which has also advised an Open Space Assessment. 1.1 Study Overview The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires local planning authorities to set out policies to help enable communities to access high quality open spaces and opportunities for recreation (Section 8 – Promoting healthy and safe communities). These policies need to be based on a thorough understanding of local needs for such facilities and opportunities available for new provision. In view of the above, in 2018 the South Worcestershire Councils (Malvern Hills District Council, Worcester City Council and Wychavon District Council), (collectively abbreviated as the SWCs) appointed Ethos Environmental Planning to provide an up-to-date and robust assessment identifying needs, surpluses and deficits in open space and recreation facilities to support the production of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (SWDPR). In summary, the main requirement of the brief is to provide an open space assessment (including community buildings) to assist the SWCs in identifying local needs for different types of open space and recreational facilities and to derive open space standards and the levels of provision required in new development.

  • Annual Report 2015/2016
    Evesham Town Council Annual Report 2015/16 Welcome to Evesham Town Council’s Annual Report for Town Mayor’s 2015/16 Report 2015/2016 On taking office last May, I was overwhelmed with the emails, telephone calls and card from so many people congratulating me, it made me ever more determined to be a good ambassador for the Town Council and the community I represent. The Town Plan, although many parts is described by some as a wish list, nevertheless it is our wish list and is now beginning to show signs that we are moving in the right direction. The Town Plan Committee includes non-councillors, and I agree with my predecessor (Cllr C Homer) when he said “it proves our desire to work with all parties and shows we recognise the contribution the can have and do make in our town”. We are still gasping for breath over the South Worcestershire Development plan and it’s effect that it will put on the infrastructure of our town following implementation. But we must face up to the fact that the SWDP is a reality and will be implemented, this does not mean that we should ignore and not to continue to raise our concerns and campaign for the well being of our community now and in the future. We are being faced with an increase in traffic flow, so I was pleased Councillor Fred Kaler to learn that Worcestershire County Council have put aside £100,000 Mayor of Evesham for a traffic survey to be carried out in our town.
