For and on behalf of GVA August 2014 I gva.co.uk East Riding of Yorkshire Council LHS Addendum Note Summary This Addendum Note has been prepared by GVA on behalf of East Riding of Yorkshire Council. It reflects updates to information that have been made available since the publication of the Local Housing Study in January 2014, which are relevant to be considered as part of the East Riding Local Plan Examination. The Addendum also considers representations received as part of the Local Plan process, and in response to evidence prepared by both ERYC and NLP as part of the Melton Planning Inquiry. The note is not intended to repeat or replace the LHS, but rather sensitivity test areas of the analysis on the basis of new information where relevant. The key information which has been updated since the publication of the LHS has included: • 2012-based Sub-National Population Projections; • Census 2011 data on key assumptions including economic activity rates; and • Emerging case law of relevance to the calculation of Objectively Assessed Housing Need and defining a Local Plan housing requirement. In addition, the Addendum takes into account the announcement made on 25 th March by Siemens and Associated British Ports that they jointly will invest £310m into Hull and the East Riding to deliver wind turbine production and installation facilities at two sites in Hull and East Yorkshire, and the updated policy and strategy position including the Hull SHMA, Joint Planning Statement (JPS) between East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Hull City Council, and the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership and York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership Strategic Economic Plans – all published since publication of the LHS. The original LHS identified a housing requirement for the East Riding alone of 1,933 (2011 headship rates) to 2,229 (2008 headship rates) dwellings per annum 2012 – 2029 for the plan period. As part of this Addendum exercise this figure reduced as summarised in the bullet points below: • Adjustment to reflect a reduced unemployment rate as part of the Melton Appeal: reducing the figures to 1,827 per annum (2011 headship rates), and 2,119 per annum (2008 headship rates); • Adjustment to reflect the latest PopGroup methodology: changing the figures to 1,888 per annum (2011 headship rates), and 2,165 per annum (2008 headship August 2014 I gva.co.uk 1 East Riding of Yorkshire Council LHS Addendum Note rates) (NB: these figures do not assume the lower unemployment rates identified during the Melton Appeal); and • Finally, the adjustment to reflect the latest PopGroup methodology and the latest assumptions as set out in this document: reducing the figures to 1,624 per annum (2011 headship rates), and 1,896 per annum (2008 headship rates). However, it is still considered appropriate to plan for higher levels of housing growth across the housing market area, as set out in the JPS. This would contribute to the delivery of the NPPF, which requires Local Plans to: • Meet objectively assessed needs, with sufficient flexibility to adapt to rapid change; and • Boost significantly the supply of housing. The decision in the case of Gallagher Homes Ltd / Lioncourt Homes Ltd vs Solihull MBC concluded that the final appropriate step in establishing an appropriate housing requirement is to apply any policy considerations to that figure (i.e. identifying a figure which, on policy grounds, is lower or higher than the full objectively assessed figure for housing need in that area). This is based on co-operating with adjoining or other near-by local planning authorities on the strategic matter of meeting housing requirements across the housing market area. This supports the view of considering the East Riding dwelling requirement alongside that of Hull City Council, as outlined in the Hull SHMA, and highlighted through the recently endorsed JPS. The JPS recognises the context of housing requirements and strategy aspirations across the joint housing market area spanning the East Riding and Hull, as established through the latest evidence base and strategy documents in place across the sub-region, and consistent with the requirements of NPPF. August 2014 I gva.co.uk 2 East Riding of Yorkshire Council LHS Addendum Note 1. Introduction 1.1 This Addendum Note to the January 2014 East Riding Local Housing Study (LHS) has been prepared by GVA with Edge Analytics on behalf of East Riding of Yorkshire Council. 1.2 The Addendum is required in response to the issuing of new data, and a new PopGroup model (v4) (PG4) which changes the population projection method for improved alignment with ONS methods and introduces a revised approach for modelling in-migration rates to individual areas, since the undertaking of the original study, including the consideration of the following: • the release (on 29 th May 2014) of the 2012-based Sub-National Population Projections (SNPP) which supersede the Interim 2011-based SNPP (which only projected forward to 2021); • economic activity rates from the 2011 Census which provide the latest profile of age-specific activity, which are used directly in the jobs-led scenario in conjunction with an updated commuting ratio from the 2011 Census and the latest unemployment rate statistics. 1.3 The Addendum note is also required to address the additional household modelling undertaken as part of the preparation of evidence to inform the Melton Planning Appeal 1 (documented within the proof of evidence of Richard Wood as part of that appeal by St Modwen). Structure of Note 1.4 The Addendum note is structured as follows: • Section 2: Consideration of alternative assumptions: review of alternative assumptions following review of representations put forward to the Local Plan and as part of the Melton Planning Appeal; • Section 3: Consideration of latest strategic context: review of relevant policy and strategy released since the undertaking of the Local Housing Study; • Section 4: Updated household modelling : summary of additional modelling undertaken since the January 2014 LHS, including explanation of why the model 1 Appeal A reference APP/E2001/A/13/2200981, Appeal B reference APP/E2001/A/14/2213944 August 2014 I gva.co.uk 3 East Riding of Yorkshire Council LHS Addendum Note has been run, the assumptions applied, and the implications in terms of household projections; • Section 5: Consideration of market signals : analysis of available data to document relevant market signals to be taken into account when considering potential requirement for additional allowance, in line with Planning Practice Guidance (PPG); and • Section 6 : Conclusions: drawing together the implications of the proceeding sections. August 2014 I gva.co.uk 4 East Riding of Yorkshire Council LHS Addendum Note 2. Consideration of alternative assumptions Response to representations 2.1 Detailed representations have been received relating to the household requirements put forward in the Local Plan by seven separate parties. The representations received and a summary of their main objections are listed below. • Pioneer Property Services (on behalf of a client): Requirement put forward by ERYC is too low; Requirement derived qualitatively not quantitatively; Requirement is below the upper range identified in the Local Housing Study; • Peter Brett Associates (on behalf of a client): As for Pioneer Property Services, plus: Concern regarding re-basing of the plan period to 2012; Concern about unmet need from wider area; Requirement is skewed by historic constraints (i.e. past delivery); • Spawforths (on behalf of a client): As for Pioneer Property Services; • Home Builders Federation: As for Pioneer Property Services, plus: Concerned with alignment with 2011 household projections (considered ‘recessionary’); Requirement should consider backlog; • Barton Wilmore (on behalf of various clients): As for Pioneer Property Services; • Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners (on behalf of a client): As for Pioneer Property Services, plus: Concern that evidence does not take into account market signals; Concern that LHS is too heavily based

  • Plymouth, South Hams, West Devon: Testing And
    Joint Local Plan – Plymouth, South Hams, West Devon Testing and establishing the Plymouth Housing Market Area 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 According to planning policy, where a Housing Market Area (HMA) extends across two or more local authorities, those authorities are required to work together to assess needs across the area as a whole. The underlying idea is that much of the demand or need for housing is not tied to specific local authority areas, as people’s decisions on where to live are driven by access to jobs, schools, family etc., rather than administrative boundaries. A HMA is an area of search, bringing together places which share similar household characteristics. 1.2 From earlier work it is clear that while Plymouth may be a self-contained housing market area, however, neither South Hams nor West Devon would be able to demonstrate that they are self-contained. It is also very clear that there are well established functional relationships across these areas, and particularly with Cornwall. 1.3 Previous work done for Cornwall has demonstrated that there are no easy answers to the definition of housing market areas. It is therefore necessary to establish the most appropriate self-contained set of areas in a transparent way using consistent methodology. The conclusion drawn was that the four local authority best fit approach is suitable for strategic purposes, but there is evidence to suggest a tighter boundary could be explored in the future. Particularly recognising the relationship between Totness in South Hams eastwards to Torbay and between Okehampton in West Devon eastwards to Exeter.

  • Examining Inequalities Across Travel to Work Areas in Scotland
    Fraser of Allander Institute Economic Commentary, December 2016 Examining inequalities across travel to work areas in Scotland John Sutherland 1. Abstract This article examines inequalities across the 45 travel to work areas in Scotland, using four indicators of labour market performance viz. the employment rate; the economic inactivity rate; the percentage holding level 4 (or higher) qualifications; and the percentage having no formal qualifications. The results are then contextualised in a discussion of the possible explanations for these inequalities and their implications for policy. 2. Introduction The process of economic development varies over space and the economic history of Scotland over several decades illustrates well how the twin processes of job creation and job destruction have different impacts geographically. From the 1950s, demand for the products of Scotland’s traditional manufacturing industries, located principally if not exclusively in the west of the central belt, declined further. Job destruction followed and there was no compensating job creation to match the magnitude of the job losses in these urban areas, with manifold consequences for the local populations. In contrast, from the 1980s, job creation was apparent in Aberdeen, its hinterlands and the northern isles, localities historically associated more with agriculture and fishing, with the discovery of North Sea oil and the development of oil exploration and extraction activities (Alexander et al, 2005: Bell and Blanchflower, 2007: Cameron, 2010: Macdonald, 2009: Newlands et al, 2004). An important feature of the minority Scottish National Party (SNP) Scottish Government’s first Economic Strategy set out in 2007 was the identification of a set of targets.

  • The Changing Geography of the UK Economy a Review of the Primary Urban Area Definition December 2015
    The changing geography of the UK economy A review of the Primary Urban Area definition December 2015 This briefing sets out the results of the review of the primary urban area (PUA) definition of cities. The results of this review will be used as the base unit of analysis for Centre for Cities’ work from now on, starting with Cities Outlook 2016. Why Primary Urban Areas? From an economic point of view, a city is the concentration of a large amount of economic activity in a relatively small area. The best performing cities make the most of this density so that the value of what they produce is greater than the value of the inputs (workers, land etc.) that they use to produce it. This process is known as agglomeration. Given that the mission of the Centre for Cities is to look at the economies of UK cities, it is the economic concentration perspective of the city that we are most interested in. This means that we require a definition that best matches this requirement. A number of different approaches could be used, but by defining cities principally on their built up area – that is, the physical footprint of a city - the PUA definition is, in our view, the best option. Of course, the impact of a city is not limited to the borders of its built up area. All cities provide jobs (and amenities) not only for their own residents but for residents in their surrounding areas, with the most successful ones having a pull on a very wide area around them.
