Government Buildings CV9 1DE Chalfont Drive Nottingham NG8 3RT Tel: 07885561703 Date: 11/06/2009 Dear Mike, Notification of Proposal – Coventry/ Nuneaton & Hinckley Broad Rental Market Areas review The reviews of the Coventry BRMA (ID number 52) and Nuneaton & Hinckley BRMA (ID number 54) are being undertaken as a result of the amended legislation that took effect on 5 January 2009. The terms of reference are laid down in this legislation and are referred to in the details of the proposal document attached. I propose that the following changes be made to both of the BRMA boundaries: (i) To amend the existing Coventry BRMA to the south western boundary to include the linear residential development of Burton Green. (ii) To amalgamate the south and western parts of the existing Nuneaton and Hinckley BRMA to include Nuneaton, Bedworth, Bulkington, Atherstone, and further north to the village of Shackerstone. (iii) To include from the Mid Staffs BRMA the villages of Twycross and Orton on the Hill. (iv) To amend from the existing Nuneaton and Hinckley BRMA the village of Maxstoke and surrounding rural countryside; this area associated with Coleshill, to be included in the Birmingham BRMA and to be the subject to full review in due course. The functions of The Rent Service transferred to the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) on 1 April 2009. The VOA is an Executive Agency of HM Revenue & Customs. (v) To include a small area from the Leicester and Surrounds BRMA south of the village of Snarestone, thereby altering the boundary to follow the local authority dividing line. (vi) Hinckley, Market Bosworth, Earl Shilton, and the area north of the A5 within the existing Nuneaton and Hinckley BRMA to be included with the Leicester and Surrounds BRMA and to be the subject to full review in due course. The attached document sets out the details of the proposal. Your comments are welcome and must be made in writing. They must be sent to me no later than July 24th 2009. I will consider your representation and will notify you of my decision in due course. I have completed an impact assessment to provide an indication of the potential effects of this proposal on Local Reference Rents and Local Housing Allowances and I have attached it as an appendix to the proposal.
