Email Exchange Between HMA and Derbyshire Dales Page 1 of 2 From: Thorley, Rob [[email protected]] Sent: 20 March 2014 17:15 To: '[email protected]' Subject: FW: Derbyshire Dales Local Plan ­ Objectively Assessed Housing Need From: Banks, Sarah [ mailto:[email protected] ] Sent: 19 March 2014 15:10 To: Hase, Mike ( [email protected] ) Cc: Buffery,Steve (Environmental Services); Foot, Jamie; Lee, Steven (D&CS); Thorley, Rob; Sworowski Nicola; Waterhouse, Andrew Subject: FW: Derbyshire Dales Local Plan - Objectively Assessed Housing Need *** Before reading or acting on this e-mail, or opening any attachment, please read Derby City Council's disclaimer and confidentiality statement at the end of this e- mail *** Dear Mike, Following recent discussion by Derby Housing Market Area (HMA) partners, I have been asked to write to you in response to your email below of the 11 March 2014 in which you make reference to the recent study undertaken by Atkins. We note that, as a result of this research, you are not seeking to meet your fully objectively assessed housing needs within Derbyshire Dales and have thus asked whether the Derby HMA authorities would be able to assist by providing sites to meet the shortfall. I would like to confirm at this point in time that none of the HMA authorities are in a position to accommodate any of Derbyshire Dales’ housing need. The HMA authorities do wish to express their surprise to receive this request, especially as this does not reflect the nature of preceding discussions regarding key strategic issues which have comprised our dialogue up to this point. As you will be aware, the Local Plans of all three HMA authorities are at an advanced stage. These strategies have been developed on a clear understanding that Derbyshire Dales had no need to decant any housing requirements into the HMA. No evidence appears to have been produced which demonstrates that these needs cannot be met within the administrative boundary of Derbyshire Dales itself. We also do not believe this indicates a duty to co-operate issue on our part regarding this matter. Our joint working, consultation and shared evidence base has resulted in the development of our aligned Local Plans. As you are aware Amber Valley’s Local Plan has already been submitted and the examination hearings are due to commence at the end of this month. Yours Sincerely Sarah cc South Derbyshire District Council Amber Valley Borough Council Derbyshire County Council Derby City Council Sarah Banks | Derby HMA Growth Point Co-ordinator | c/o Spatial Planning & Climate Change | Neighbourhoods Directorate | Derby City Council, Council House, Corporation St, Derby, DE1 2FS | Telephone 01332 643016 | Mobile 07812300591 | Derby HMA: www.derbyshire.gov.uk/derbyhma www.derby.gov.uk one Derby one council From: Hase, Mike [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 11 March 2014 11:26 To: Thorley, Rob Subject: FW: Derbyshire Dales Local Plan - Objectively Assessed Housing Need Importance: High Dear Rob As you will be aware from our previous discussions we appointed before Christmas Atkins to undertake an assessment of the District Council ’s Housing and Economic Needs. The final report has now been received and considered by the District Council’s Local Plan Advisory Committee on 3 rd March 2014 – a copy of the report to the Local Plan Advisory Committee can be viewed using the following link: http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/images/documents/C/Committee/Local_Plan_Advisory/Local_Plan_Advisory_Full_Agenda_for_Ipad_3_March_2014_2.pdf The Officers recommendations were endorsed by the Local Plan Advisory Committee, and as such the District Council has resolved to maintain the housing provision within the Derbyshire Dales Local Plan at 200 dwellings per annum or 4400 over the plan period 2006-2028. However the Atkins study, also identified that the overall Objectively Assessed Need was in the order of 273 dwellings per annum over the same plan period (6,006). As such, the District Council, on advice, is now seeking to establish whether the shortfall between the OAN figure and the Local Plan provisions can be met within neighbouring authorities within the wider Derbyshire Dales HMA, which extends over the whole of Derbyshire, into Staffordshire, and Sheffield. The District Council is intending to submit the Derbyshire Dales Local Plan to the Secretary of State by the end of April 2014, and at this time I would be grateful if you could indicate whether your authority would be willing to accommodate some of the shortfall, and if so how much. I appreciate that at this stage you may not be able to provide a formal response, but an informal indication as soon as you can would be appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you in the very near future.

  • Agency Information - Environmental Health (V3.0 2020 July) Page 1 of 2
    Information about agencies to be shared in ‘Making Enquiries under S.42’ training 1. Who are we? Environmental Health Service 2. Who are we? Each Local Authority, with the exception of Derbyshire County Council (DCC), has environmental health professionals in the form of Environmental Health Officers (EHOs)/ Environmental Health Practitioners (EHPs)/ Environmental Health Technical Officers (EHTO), Enforcement Officers who can enforce various types of public health, housing, pollution, food and health and safety legislation. They are primarily regulatory officers but do play a major role in protecting public health, maintaining a safe environment and have both technical and scientific expertise to offer support and advice to partnering agencies, businesses, community groups and the public. 3. What do we do? (The below text sets out some of the relevant areas in s.42 enquiries, but is not limited to these items). EHOs/EHPs/EHTOs/Enforcement Officers have a regulatory role in ensuring public safety in a wide number of areas; being responsible for carrying out measures to protect public health, enforcing legislation relating to the natural and built environments that benefit human health and providing support to minimize health and safety hazards. Particular statutory obligations relate to domestic home environments to ensure ‘fitness for habitation’ by the removal of serious hazards (known as Category 1 hazards*) to achieve the ideal standards within a property. The risk of harm to a person may arise given physical and psychological hazards in the home environment i.e. structural collapse, carbon monoxide from defective appliances, or excess cold from poorly heated and insulated homes. Table 1 below indicates some of the key hazard areas which are checked when a property is assessed by an EH Professional.

  • Dear Colleague, I Hope This Letter Finds You Well. I'd Like to Update You
    CONTROLLED Dean Wallace Director of Public Health Adult Social Care and Health Directorate County Hall Matlock Derbyshire Letter sent by email to: DE4 3AG Telephone 01629 538964 Ask for Derbyshire GPs Email [email protected] Our ref DW/DH Your ref Date 25th February 2021 Dear colleague, I hope this letter finds you well. I’d like to update you about the new community testing centres we’ve opened in Derbyshire. With venues opening in Erewash and Derbyshire Dales this week we now have community testing centres in every district and borough across Derbyshire. Although cases are falling, it’s still vitally important that we continue to do everything we can to stop the spread so that we can all get back to doing the things we love. As you know 1 in 3 people with the virus have no symptoms and could be spreading it without realising so getting a test is an important tool to keep cases down. I’d really appreciate your help in encouraging your patients to get tested regularly, particularly if they are unable to work from home and are mixing with colleagues or the public. Across Derbyshire community testing is now available at: Erewash • West Park Leisure Centre, Wilsthorpe Road, Long Eaton (Opens Wednesday 24 February at noon after which testing will be available 9am to 7pm, seven days a week apart from March 4, 22 and 30) Derbyshire Dales • Members Room, County Hall, Matlock (Opens Friday 26 February, 9am to 7pm, seven days a week) Chesterfield • Queen’s Park Sports Centre, Boythorpe Road, Chesterfield (9am to 7pm, seven days a week) North East Derbyshire • Clay Cross Social Centre, Market Street, Clay Cross (9am to 7pm, seven days a week) High Peak • Pavillion Gardens, Buxton (9am to 7pm, seven days a week) Amber Valley • William Gregg VC Leisure Centre, Hands Road, Heanor (9am to 7pm weekdays, 9am to 4pm weekends.
