The Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) is a key tool in the delivery of housing and other development upon land at Tangmere, referred to within the Chichester District Council’s (‘the Council’) Local Plan as the Tangmere Strategic Development Location (TSDL). The report sets out a summary of the background of the TSDL, the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 (‘Equality Act’), and the potential impacts of the TSDL on people with characteristics protected under the Equality Act. The EqIA presents a comprehensive view of potential effects of the CPO for the TSDL and explores strategies which may help to mitigate any adverse effects of development, using suitable literature. It is intended to analyse the effects of the development to a level proportionate to the associated activities. The assessment is focussed on the actual and potential impacts (both positive and negative) arising from the development, likely to be experienced by people in light of their protected characteristics. The report sets out the measures put in place by the Council and provides recommendations on how any remaining impacts can be managed or mitigated. 1.2 The Equality Impact Assessment The EqIA has been undertaken in support of the Council’s obligations under UK equality legislation, and in particular the Equality Act. The Act sets out a Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED), at section 149, and is set out in the Figure below. Figure 1.1: Article 149 of the Equality Act 2010: The Public Sector Equality Duty (1) A public authority must, in the exercise of its functions, have due regard to the need to (a) eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under this Act; (b) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristics and persons who do not share it. (2) A person who is not a public authority but who exercises public functions must, in the exercise of those functions, have due regard to the matters mentioned in subsection (1). (3) Having due regard to the need to advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it involves having due regard, in particular, to the need to – (a) remove or minimise disadvantages suffered by persons who share a relevant protected characteristic that are connected to that characteristic; (b) take steps to meet the needs of persons who share a relevant protected characteristic that are different form the needs of persons who do not share it; (c) encourage persons who share a relevant protected characteristic to participate in public life or in any other activity in which participation by such persons is disproportionately low. 07 February 2020 Mott MacDonald | Tangmere Strategic Development Location Compulsory Purchase Order 2 Equality Impact Assessment Source: Equality Act, 2010 The PSED is intended to support good decision-making – it encourages public bodies such as the Council to understand how different people will be affected by their activities. This helps to ensure policies and services are appropriate and accessible to all and meet different people’s needs. The Council must have due regard to the aims of the PSED throughout the decision- making process for the redevelopment of the site. The process used to do this must take account of the protected characteristics which are identified below in the section 1.2.2. 1.2.1 Assessing equality effects While the PSED does not specify a particular process for considering the likely effects of policies, programmes and projects on different sections of society for public authorities to follow, this process is usually undertaken through some form of equality analysis. This can include EqIA. By understanding the effect of their activities on different people, and how inclusive delivery can support and open up opportunities, public bodies can be more efficient and effective. 1.2.2 Protected characteristics This document provides an analysis of the likely or actual effects of policies or proposals on social groups with the following protected characteristics (as defined by the Equality Act): Protected Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) definition characteristic Age A person belonging to a particular age (for example 32-year olds) or range of ages (for example 18 to 30-year olds). Disability A person has a disability if they have a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on that person's ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. Gender The process of transitioning from one gender to another. reassignment Marriage and civil Marriage is a union between a man and a woman or between a same-sex couple. partnership Couples can also have their relationships legally recognised as 'civil partnerships'. Civil partners must not be treated less favourably than married couples (except where permitted by the Equality Act). Pregnancy and Pregnancy is the condition of being pregnant or expecting a baby. Maternity refers to the period maternity after the birth and is linked to maternity leave in the employment context. In the non-work context, protection against maternity discrimination is for 26 weeks after giving birth, and this includes treating a woman unfavourably because she is breastfeeding. Race Refers to the protected characteristic of race. It refers to a group of people defined by their race, colour, and nationality (including citizenship) ethnic or national origins. Religion and Religion has the meaning usually given to it, but belief includes religious and philosophical belief beliefs including lack of belief (such as Atheism). Generally, a belief should affect someone’s life choices or the way they live for it to be included in the definition. Sex A man, woman or non-binary person. Sexual orientation Whether a person's sexual attraction is towards their own sex, the opposite sex or to both sexes. The analysis determines the likely or actual effects of policies or proposals on social groups by: ● Assessing whether one or more of these groups could experience disproportionate effects (over and above the effects likely to be experienced by the rest of the population) as a result of the proposal development. ● Identifying opportunities to promote equality more effectively. 07 February 2020 Mott MacDonald | Tangmere Strategic Development Location Compulsory Purchase Order 3 Equality Impact Assessment ● Developing ways in which any disproportionate negative impacts could be removed or mitigated to prevent any unlawful discrimination and minimise inequality of outcomes.
