Briefing Note to Riverside Area Committee Wards : Drypool, St Andrews and 12 September 2018 Docklands, Newington and Gypsyville
Housing Growth Plan – Small Sites
Report of the City Neighbourhoods and Housing Manager
1. Purpose of the Report and Summary
1.1 This briefing has been prepared to provide a progress update on the Housing Growth Plan, specifically small sites.
1.2 As part of the Housing Growth Plan, a number of Housing Revenue Account (HRA) sites were put forward for development as part of meeting the Council’s new build housing targets. The Housing Growth Plan sets out how the Council will achieve the targets by bringing forward a combination of small and large sites for development across the city. The Housing Growth Plan demonstrates the Council’s commitment towards a continued programme of building new and modern homes.
1.3 The report seeks input from Riverside Area Committee on potential sites for new build housing within the Area Committee area. A full list of the identified sites in Riverside Area is included at Appendix A. Riverside Area Committee is asked to identify any additional sites in Council ownership which are not included within the list.
2. Background
2.1 The Deputy Chief Executive submitted a report which sought Cabinet approval for the Housing Growth Plan 2017-20 on 22 nd January 2018. Cabinet adopted the plan (minute 98) which was a key action under the Housing Strategy adopted by Cabinet in March 2017 (Minute 118). 2.2 Cabinet gave authority to the City Neighbourhoods and Housing Manager to progress HRA sites for new build Council owned housing in consultation with the Portfolio holder for Housing, the Town Clerk and the relevant Area Committees. 2.3 Section 5 of the Local Plan sets out a need for 9,920 new homes between 2016 and 2032 which equates to 620 additional new homes per annum. The Housing Growth Plan sets out how Hull City Council will facilitate new housing delivery to ensure that these numbers are met.
Author: Ben Goren Status: FINAL Date: 04/09/2018 Page 1 of 3 Page 13 of 124
2.4 The Housing Strategy 2017-20 includes the following actions under the ‘Build more quality homes’ priority: • Develop and publish Hull’s Housing Growth plan • Identify new sites for development and conduct proactive site investigatory work • Pursue external funding as opportunities become available to ensure that we can bring more sites forward for development • Explore innovative methods of construction to more efficiently deliver affordable, quality homes.
3. Issues for Consideration
3.1 Hull City Council intends to deliver Council housing on its own land through investing its own HRA capital funding subsidised through grant funding where this is available. The Council will develop a pipeline of around 120 properties (including empty properties) per year for 5 years and will seek to identify suitable sites as a priority.
3.2 Plots of land have been identified that can be brought forward for new housing development subject to planning permission. The identified plots (Appendix A) formed the basis for the Housing Growth Plan approved by Cabinet on 22 nd January 2018.
3.3 The Housing Growth plan includes an ambitious programme with delivery commencing in 2018/19. A plot of land on Hebden Avenue (East area) has been set out as potentially the first site as it is the right size for the funding allocated in the HRA business plan for the delivery of around 25 homes.
3.4 A procurement strategy for the small sites is in development and will be presented to cabinet during 2018; this strategy will cover the plan for procurement for all the small sites within the Housing Growth Plan.
3.5 Riverside Area Committee is asked to consider the list of sites in Riverside Area at Appendix A and to confirm support for bringing those sites forward for new housing (this will be subject to the sites being financially and technically viable for new housing). Input is also requested on whether there are other sites which are in Hull City Council ownership not included on the list.
3.6 Riverside Area Committee is requested to note that all identified sites will undergo financial viability assessments to take into account constraints for example flood risk/ground conditions, low property values/rents and anything specific to the area.
Author: Ben Goren Status: FINAL Date: 04/09/2018 Page 2 of 3 Page 14 of 124
3.7 In addition to plans for future development, Area committee is asked to note housing schemes that were completed last year; 197 new Council homes were completed across the city.
4. Next Steps
4.1 The next steps for the project are to conduct site feasibility, procure a contractor, and undertake pre-planning consultation, planning application which will all culminate in start on site for the first development site.

Briefing Paper Wards : Drypool 12 th September 2018 Newington & Gypsyville St Andrews & Docklands
Area Committee Report: Development of a new Physical Activity Strategy
Briefing Paper of the of Corporate Director of Public Health
1. Purpose of the Paper and Summary
1.1 This report seeks the views of the Area Committee as part of the development of the new draft Physical Activity strategy, Towards an Active Hull.
1.2 The new draft physical activity strategy, Towards an Active Hull, translates national policy and strategy to a local level with a 10 year vision of empowering, enabling and supporting communities and individuals of Hull to be more active. In context the ambitious aim to move at least 7,550 adults from inactivity to activity in the city would achieve a rating for Hull as an active city on a par with others places in England.
2. Background
2.1 Hull City Council’s Public Health Team are working in partnership with Hull Culture & Leisure Ltd and the County Sports Partnership, Active Humber to develop a new Physical Activity Strategy for Hull. The previous strategy, Active Hull, was launched in 2014 and matured in 2017. Evaluation and learning of the strategy has informed the development of the new draft strategy.
2.2 This Strategy is intended to complement a wide range of other strategies and programmes locally, including the ‘Whole System Approach to Childhood Obesity’ that has recently been launched and is being led by Public Health; the Hull Sustainable Food Cities initiative being led by the voluntary sector with close support from Hull City Council: and the Open Spaces Strategy amongst many others.
3. Issues for Consideration
3.1 Increasing physical activity is a key component of improving health and wellbeing, and the rationale to have a physical activity strategy is to keep a strategic focus on the need to raise activity levels across the city and bring together resources.
Author: Alastair Wood Status: Date: 04/09/2018 Page 1 of 4 Page 35 of 124 3.2 National estimates for the annual costs to the NHS as a result of physical inactivity are between £1 billion and £1.8 billion
3.3 The cost of physical inactivity in Hull was estimated to be £4.2 million in 2006/07
3.4 In England, 23% of children start school overweight and obese and 34% leave primary school overweight or obese.
3.5 66% of adults in Hull are overweight or obese, which equates to approximately 132,000 adults
3.6 Based on the 2014 Prevalence Survey, the following statements can be made about the residents situated within Riverside Area Committee:
• 61.3% of residents surveyed were overweight or obese • 32.3% of residents surveyed completed the Chief Medical Officers recommended 30 minutes moderate or vigorous exercise 5 days or more per week • 48.6% of residents surveyed undertook no moderate or vigorous exercise in the past week • 8.2% of residents surveyed never exercised
3.7 A draft Strategic Framework for Action has been developed which incorporates four themes, these are key focus points that help provide specific target areas and structure for the action plan:
• Active Travel • Active Recreation • Sport and Physical Activity • Active Design
3.7 The proposed themes have been chosen based on a systematic review of all relevant strategies and establishing common themes to provide the best opportunity of achieving the desired health and wellbeing outcomes.
3.9 The critical measure of success will be the Sport England annual Active Lives Survey that tracks level of activity in Hull and across the country. A series of local proxy measures will be established to track progress against actions through the year which may include number of visits to leisure and recreational facilities, local volunteering rates, active travel utilisation and cordon survey results, Headstart Hull data.
3.10 The strategy will be monitored by a strategic partnership group consisting of the County Sports Partnership (Active Humber), Hull City Council (Public Health), Hull Culture and Leisure (Leisure Services) and Community and Voluntary Sector representation. Other representation may be added to the partnership as necessary. The partnership group will meet regularly and develop a clear monitoring framework to evaluate impact, and identify critical projects that will impact on increasing participation in physical activity.
4. Next steps
Author: Alastair Wood Status: Date: 04/09/2018 Page 2 of 4 Page 36 of 124 4.1 An online consultation survey (see link https://www.hcandl.co.uk/sport-and-leisure-and- parks/towards-active-hull-consultation) has been developed that will allow a wide range of agencies, schools, clubs and organisations, internal Council departments, health organisations and individuals to provide feedback on the draft strategy. This was launched in August and will be open for 6 weeks; the link to this has been cascaded via email and promoted through social media. In addition to this a face-to-face consultation campaign has been executed, which has included attendance at numerous park events, leisure centres and libraries over the summer to gather the views of local residents.
4.2 It is anticipated that following the public consultation period, which includes feedback from the Area Committees, the final strategy document will be received by the Health and Wellbeing Board and Cabinet in the autumn/winter for endorsement with an official launch in spring.

Towards An Active Hull 2018-2028 Empowering, enabling and supporting communities and individuals to be more active
Physical activity, sport and active recreation can make a significant contribution to the health and wellbeing of people and communities. This strategic city plan seeks to promote the power and harness the potential of physical activity by ensuring that active travel, active recreation and sport are delivered in inspiring environments and embedded as a way of life, and that the overall health and wellbeing of Hull is improved. In ten years’ time, we will:
V Motivate at least 7, 550 adults to move from inactive to active 1 V Create a culture where people choose to become more physically active as part of their individual development V Ensure that all built environments support people taking part in physical activity V Make sport and physical activity a vehicle for economic development V Maximise our fantastic local sport and recreational assets and use them to their full potential V Become a leading city for sporting excellence, champion local sporting heroes and celebrate the success of local teams V Embed the promotion of physical and mental health benefits that physical activity gives us in the advice provided by healthcare specialists, teachers and those working in the leisure sector. V Reduce the level of inactive children and adults that live in Hull, and increase the levels of healthy weight and related health outcomes.
1 From the most recent Active Lives survey, to achieve the same ‘active’ rate as England, Hull would require an additional 7,550 adults (aged 16+) moving from the ‘inactive’ or ‘fairly active’ categories (based on 2015 ONS mid-year population estimates). Version 12 amended 18 July 2018

How Active Should We Be? These guidelines are issued by the four Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. They draw on global evidence for the health benefits people can achieve by taking regular physical activity throughout their lives.
