Marked-up Questionnaire Community Research in Harrogate Borough Council Area 2003 for The Boundary Committee for England Introduction Research Aims This report presents the findings of research conducted by the MORI Social Research Institute on behalf of The Boundary Committee for England (referred to in this report as "The Committee") in the Harrogate Borough Council area. The aim of this research is to establish the patterns of community identity in the area. Survey Coverage MORI has undertaken research in all 44 two-tier district or borough council areas in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions. The research covers two-tier local authority areas only; the results may however identify issues which overlap with adjacent areas. Reports and data for other two-tier areas are provided under separately. Harrogate Borough Council (North Yorkshire CC) Richmondshire DC (North Yorkshire CC) Hambleton DC (North Yorks CC) Craven DC (North Yorkshire CC) Harrogate BC (North Yorkshire CC) City of Data is available from two-tier authorities in these County York Council areas: Council Cheshire Durham Cumbria Bradford City Lancashire Leeds City Northumberland Council Selby DC North Yorkshire Council (N Yorks CC) Key: BC = Borough Council DC = District Council CC = County Council Source: MORI Methodology Both quantitative and qualitative research has been carried out in the Harrogate Borough Council area, as in each two-tier district council area in the Yorkshire & Humber region. Quantitative research seeks to answer the question of ‘what’ residents think, by measuring their attitudes on a range of pre-set questions in the context of an interview, rather than holding an in-depth discussion on the issues involved. It provides statistically robust data. 1 Community Research in Harrogate Borough Council Area 2003 for The Boundary Committee for England Within each two-tier district or borough council area, some 300 quantitative face- to-face interviews were carried out in-home between 19th June and 31st August 2003. A total of 2,171 interviews took place across all two-tier authorities in the North Yorkshire County Council area, with 304 interviews being conducted in the Harrogate Borough Council area. Quotas were set by age, gender and work status using 2001 Census data. Data have been weighted back to the known demographic profile of each district or borough council area by age and gender, and for aggregate county, regional and overall findings by the population size of each individual district or borough council area. Full computer tabulations have been provided separately. Qualitative research helps probe the thinking processes and feelings of residents, and attempts to answer the question as to ‘why?’ residents might feel the way they do. In the Harrogate Borough Council area, a qualitative discussion group was held to establish how participants felt about their local community. The findings from this group were analysed within the context of the findings from discussion groups in the other 43 district or borough council areas under consideration by this study. Discussion groups do not seek to offer statistical validity from a representative sample, but seek to explore attitudes and opinions in greater depth than the quantitative research allows. It should also be borne in mind that, in order to get an overview of the in-depth feelings in each area as well as explore linkages across the region, only one discussion group was held in each district or borough council area. The findings from each group should therefore be viewed in the context of the other discussion groups which have taken place, as well as the quantitative findings. This is because the findings from participants from just one discussion group may be unrepresentative of general opinion, and misleading if viewed out of context. Report Structure This report provides an overview of the findings from the research for the Harrogate Borough Council area. Individual summary reports for the research conducted within each of the other two-tier authorities in the Yorkshire and the Humber region have been issued under separate cover. Publication of the Data As part of our standard terms and conditions, the publication of the data in this report is subject to the advance approval of MORI. This would only be refused on the grounds of inaccuracy or misinterpretation of the findings. 2 Community Research in Harrogate Borough Council Area 2003 for The Boundary Committee for England Contact Details The research was carried out by MORI for COI Communications, acting on behalf of The Boundary Committee for England.

They show less identity with the administrative areas of the local two-tier councils. This is not an unusual finding, as people will generally identify with the immediate area where they have made their home, rather than a large geographical area. • The Harrogate Borough Council area is largely rural, with activity concentrated on the town of Harrogate itself. Around three in five residents most associate themselves with the town of Harrogate, with only around one in eight associating with Ripon. One in fifteen residents most associate themselves with York, in the neighbouring City Council area. Residents’ sense of belonging to the District Council area (strongly held by 43%) is among the lowest in the county. • "Effective Communities" are the sense of place created by visiting practical locations which cater for shopping or leisure needs, work place, or where parents take their children to school. Harrogate is a particularly key destination for those in higher social grades, with those in lower social grades more concentrated around visiting Ripon, for food, clothes and household goods shopping, as well as for sports and leisure activities. • As has been found in other district and borough council areas nearby, Leeds and York are popular places for clothes shopping visits and leisure activities (particularly amongst the younger residents of the Harrogate Borough Council area), as well as common places of work. However, few residents feel that they ‘belong’ to these cities. This suggests that they may be good places to visit, but they do not form lasting community ties. • "Affective Communities" describes the sense of place created by residents forming an emotional attachment to a community. Identity with the local neighbourhood is naturally stronger for those who take part in community activities and those residents who are most satisfied with the quality of services provided at a district level are most likely to feel that they belong to the area and to be active within it. • Overall, four in five Harrogate Borough Council residents feel they belong to a local area or community within this council area. This is broadly in line with other district or borough council areas in the North Yorkshire County Council area. Nevertheless, participants in the discussion group saw some commonalities of interest with the rural districts to the north, east and west of the borough. 4 Community Research in Harrogate Borough Council Area 2003 for The Boundary Committee for England Interpreting the Findings • Neither the qualitative nor the quantitative research should be taken in isolation of the other, and nor should the findings of one district, borough, county or region be taken in isolation of the overall perspective provided by research in other areas. Just as residents themselves are at the centre of a number of different communities, so this research is at the centre of a wider body of research that provides context and a sense of place to the individual findings for each area. ©MORI/18710 Simon Atkinson Emma Holloway Jaime Rose Neil Wholey 5 Community Research in Harrogate Borough Council Area 2003 for The Boundary Committee for England Local Communities Defining Communities Communities, in the context of this research, are a sense of place. The strength of this sense of place is related to the involvement residents have in their communities, whether with people in their own immediate neighbourhood, or with places further afield through, for example, shopping trips or work. For residents there are a number of different and overlapping communities: • Administrative Communities: the sense of place created by local council administrative boundaries. • Effective Communities: the sense of place created by visiting practical locations which cater for shopping or leisure needs, or are a place of work, or where parents take their children to school. • Affective Communities: the sense of place created by residents forming an emotional attachment to a community. This is defined as where residents feel they most belong, the town or area they most identify with, and if they met someone from outside their region, where they might say they came from.

  • Joint Position Statement Between the City of York and Selby District Council in Relation to the Housing Market Area, April 2020
    Joint Position Statement between the City of York and Selby District Council in relation to the Housing Market Area, April 2020 Introduction 1. This statement seeks to clarify the position agreed between the City of York Council and Selby District Council through the Duty to Co-operate in relation to the Housing Market Area. Specifically, the statement seeks to: provide further clarification that any links between York and Selby only extend to part of the Selby area and that this is considered to support the approach taken by the Councils through the Duty to Co-operate to meet their own objectively assessed housing needs within their own administrative areas; and to clarify that both Council’s continue to maintain the position reached through the Duty to Co-operate that through the preparation of the York Local Plan and its submission and more recently with the review of the Selby Local Plan that it is not practical to seek to align the preparation of the two Plans and to consider housing needs jointly across the HMA. Preparation of the Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) 2. The 2004 Act refers to a Local Planning Authority’s (LPA) ‘area’ and it is clear that the statutory duty for an LPA is and must be in relation to their area. Thus the primary duty of the LPA is to assess the needs of their local authority area. 3. Paragraph 47 of the NPPF (2012) requires Local Plans to meet the full objectively assessed need in the Housing Market Area (HMA). Paragraph 159 of the NPPF helps clarify this, in that it requires LPAs to have a clear understanding of housing needs ‘in their area’.

  • Residential Land Survey 2016
    North York Moors National Park Authority Residential Land Survey Report 2016 Housing Provision in the North York Moors National Park Introduction Residential land surveys are undertaken on an annual basis to provide information on residential completion rates and current housing land availability within the North York Moors National Park. The information contained in the survey is used to monitor the effectiveness of housing policies and inform the Authority Report. It is also intended to provide a useful source of information for developers, house builders and other interested individuals or organisations. The information contained in the survey is derived from building completion lists from Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, the North Yorkshire Building Control Partnership Public Access database and the knowledge of Officers. Whilst the Authority believes that the information contained in the survey is correct it does not guarantee its accuracy, nor does the Authority accept any liability or responsibility for any direct or indirect loss or damage or other consequences, however arising, from the use of such information supplied. The main points arising from the 2016 Residential Land Survey are: Completions are lower than last year, down by 19%. Planning permissions are lower than last year, from 74 new permissions in 2014/15 to 42 new permissions in 2015/16. The number of outstanding permissions and those permissions where building work has commenced remains relatively consistent. 23% of all completions were affordable dwellings (10 units). The Scarborough Borough part of the Park continues to provide the most completions however as developments in Helmsley start to progress, Ryedale is providing the highest number of planning permissions.
