  • Sedgemoor Transport Investment Strategy Policy Context
    Technical Note To Sedgemoor District Council Cc Steven Bishop, Simon Davies From Fiona Jenkins, Ed Robinson Date 5 December 2017 Project Sedgemoor 2050 Transport Investment Project No. 23165801 Strategy Overview of policy context: planning, supporting and delivering growth in Sedgemoor Introduction 1. Steer Davies Gleave has been commissioned by Sedgemoor District Council to support the Council in the development of a transport investment strategy which goes beyond the current Local Plan period (to 2032) and up to 2050. 2. The study is currently in its initial stages. The purpose of this technical note is to present a summary of the policy context in which the transport strategy is being developed, including a summary of the spatial, economic and political changes planned or currently in effect. The note is structured as follows: National policy context Sub-national policy context Local policy context Key themes: PESTLE analysis National policy context National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), 2012) 3. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these should be applied. It is centred around a presumption in favour of sustainable development, which is to be seen as a “golden thread” that runs through plan-making and decision- taking. 4. The NPPF emphasises that the transport system needs to be balanced in favour of sustainable transport modes (defined as “any efficient, safe and accessible means of transport with overall low impact on the environment, including walking and cycling, low and ultra low emission vehicles, car sharing and public transport1”), while at the same time recognising that opportunities to maximise sustainable transport solutions will vary from urban to rural areas.

  • Creech St Michael Sure Start Children's Centre Areas
    Issued: 13 July 2010 Community Profile: Creech St Michael Sure Start Children's Centre Areas This area profile pulls together a range of information about the Creech St Michael area and the people who live there. no map available Creech St Michael area comprises the wards of North Curry & Stoke St. Gregory, Ruishton & Creech, and West Monkton. The population of 11,834 lives in area of 7,849 hectares resulting in a population density of 1.5 per hectare, in line with Somerset as a whole. There are 4,572 households. Positioned on the outer fringes of Taunton, the Creech St Michael area has the M5, A38, A358, A3259 and A361 passing through it, which is probably a factor in the high rate of road casualties here. The area also experiences greater problems of accessibility to housing and services than might be expected. However, residents are extremely satisfied with where they live. Educational achievement, access to private vehicles, mortality rates and JSA claimant rates are all favourable in comparison with Somerset as a whole. A separate User Guide contains a detailed description of the statistics. - 1 - Creech St Michael People and Place Although Creech St Michael’s population profile is fairly typical of Somerset it shows a slightly lower proportion in the age groups 20-34, and marginally higher proportions of women in their forties and sixties. Population combined by age and sex Source: NHS (Jan 2010) A separate User Guide contains a detailed description of the statistics. - 2 - Creech St Michael People and Place (continued) Fewer than one in forty people are not classified as White British, slightly below the county rate.
