13. Socio-Economic Impacts Greenpark Energy Ltd April 2010 13. Socio-Economic Impacts 13.1 Summary This chapter assessed the potential impacts of the proposed CBM gas development upon employment, financial investment and tourism at the Swynnerton site and the wider area. The proposed CBM gas development should lead to additional spend of wages into the local economy and opportunities for local accommodation providers and other local services to construction workers who do not live locally. This is considered to be a significant positive effect. Furthermore, the proposed CBM gas development offers potential opportunities for local people to be employed. This in turn may also generate additional expenditure in the local economy. This is considered to be a positive effect. Consequently, the overall socio-economic impact from the proposed CBM gas development at the Swynnerton site is assessed as positive and significant to the local area. The minimal loss of earnings from agriculture on the proposed site is outweighed by the income provided to the landowner. This is a positive effect associated with the development. Due to the scale of the development and lack of tourist attractions in the immediate vicinity of the site, the effect on tourism is considered neutral. 13.2 Introduction This chapter assesses the potential economic and social effects that may arise as a result of the site preparation, drilling, production, and restoration activities of the proposed CBM gas development at the Swynnerton site. 13.3 Relevant Legislation, Policies and Guidelines There is no specific legislation that relates to this chapter. However, the following guidelines have informed this assessment: Tyldesley, D. & Associates (2005). A Handbook on Environmental Impact Assessment. Guidance for Competent Authorities, Consultees and Others Involved in the EIA Process in Scotland. Scottish Natural Heritage, Perth. 13.4 Methodology Data Gathering Information was obtained from the following sources: Advantage West Midlands http://www.advantagewm.co.uk/ Countryside Commission (1998). Countryside Character Volume 2: North West. http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/landscape/englands/character/area s/northwest.aspx Communities and Local Government, Indices of Deprivation 2007 Swynnerton Environmental Statement 13-1 FINAL Greenpark Energy Ltd April 2010 http://www.communities.gov.uk/ Enjoy England www.enjoyengland.com Enjoy Staffordshire www.enjoystaffordshire.com Stafford Borough Council http://www.staffordbc.gov.uk Stafford Tourism bureau website www.visitstafford.org/ The Heart of England Tourism http://www.visittheheart.co.uk The Office for National Statistics, neighbourhood statistics website www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk Visit Britain www.tourismtrade.org.uk Scope of Study This chapter examined the effects of the development associated with the following issues: effects on employment and the economy; effects on financial investment; and effects on tourism. Assessment Methodology There is no prescribed methodology or standard guidance for this aspect of an EIA. The method adopted is therefore one of determining the existing circumstances (the baseline) through desk based analysis. The potential effects of the proposed CBM gas development on this baseline were then assessed using knowledge gained from professional experience to assess the significance of the potential effects. Evaluation Criteria and Assessment of Significance Two criteria were used in the evaluation of the significance of the predicted effects of the proposed CBM gas development: the type of effect (i.e. positive, negative, neutral or unknown); and the magnitude of the effect – based upon the size of the proposed development and the number of people and/or businesses likely to be affected. In terms of employment, predicted effects would be: “significantly beneficial” where a new business is created as a result of the proposed development; “significant” where a new local employment opportunity is created; “adverse” where there is a reduction in the local workforce; or “neutral” where the overall number and quality of local beneficial and adverse impacts are the same. In terms of financial investment, predicted effects would be: Swynnerton Environmental Statement 13-2 FINAL Greenpark Energy Ltd April 2010 “positive” where new income is received which will contribute to the raising and diversification of local farm income and/or where there is an increase in expenditure in businesses in the local area; “negative” where there is a decrease in local farm income and/or local expenditure in businesses in the local area; or “neutral” where there is no net increase in farm income an/or expenditure in local businesses. In terms of tourism, predicted effects would be: “positive” where the proposed development attracts visitors to the local area; “negative” where the proposed development deters visitors to the local area; or “neutral” where there is no net change in visitors to the local area. The impact on tourism may potentially have wider effects on the local economy and employment. 13.5 Baseline Conditions Population The proposed site falls within the ward of Swynnerton which lies within Stafford Local Authority. According to the 2001 Census, Swynnerton has a total population of 4,233. This consisted of 2,081 males and 2,152 females. According to the 2001 Census, Swynnerton has a population density of 1.16 persons per hectare. Under the Office of National Statistics definition of rural areas of England and Wales, Swynnerton is described as ‘rural less sparse’. Employment and Economic Activity Table 13.1 highlights the age structure of Swynnerton and places this in the context of Stafford, the West Midlands and England. The population of Swynnerton has a slightly older age profile than that of Stafford, the West Midlands and England. Compared to the West Midland Region there are significantly fewer people aged 20- 34 and more people aged 50+ in Swynnerton. 13% of Swynnerton’s population is 20-34 compared to 20% for the West Midlands and England. Similarly 39% of Swynnerton’s population is aged 50+ compared to 33% for England as a whole.

  • Once Upon a Time There Was a Small Town in a Bend of a River and A
    Further Electoral Review of Stafford Borough Council Submission by Councillor Robert Stephens and Neil Thomas Introduction This is an independent submission by Councillor Robert Stephens (who represents the Milford ward on Stafford Borough Council) and Neil Thomas, a Doxey parish councillor and political journalist who has previously made submissions to the LGBCE and its predecessor concerning the last two reviews of Staffordshire County Council’s electoral arrangements. Councillor Stephens made a representation to the Commission at the preliminary stage on council size. Mr Thomas did not. Neither of us supported a reduction in the size of the council but since the Commission is minded to do so we are making what we regard as a constructive submission. Council size For reasons we explain in more detail below, we believe it is more practical to reduce the number of councillors to 44 than to 40 as proposed by Stafford Borough Council. The main reason for this lies in the difficulty inherent in dividing Stafford town into meaningful wards represented by 19 councillors – the number required if the total number is to be only 40. We contend coherent boundaries are more easily achieved if Stafford town were to be represented by 21 councillors. Inevitably, the need to achieve a good degree of electoral equality requires that Stone town should be represented by six councillors and the countryside surrounding both towns by 17 – one more each than is proposed by the borough council. The average number of electors per councillor with 44 members would be 2,315. Our submission would reduce the number of councillors by more than 25%, compared with the 32% advocated by the Conservative and Labour parties in their submissions.
