It also provides figures for regional monitoring and national government returns such as the National Land Use Database. 1.2 The following pages contain analysis of the housing land situation at 1st April 2009 in terms of both allocated and windfall sites. This study also examines the trend in housing completions, progress in the provision of affordable housing and the contributions towards the supply of housing on previously developed land and buildings. Additional information such as the size of dwellings, density, and previous use, is also provided. Finally, the study examines the District’s five years housing land supply and current targets. 2.0 METHODOLOGY 2.1 This study is consistent with the methodology adopted within Worcestershire County and previous studies. The study examines housing land in the two categories of large sites (those capable of accommodating 5 or more dwellings), and small sites (those which are able to accommodate up to 4 dwellings). 2.2 For each large site with planning permission information is recorded on its location, planning status, land type, ownership and stage of development (outstanding, under construction or completed). This information is given in Appendix 1 schedules 1 to 15. Schedules 16-26 list further information on these sites including dwelling mix and sizes, density and site area. Page 1 Housing Land Availability Study, April 2009 2.3 An analysis was undertaken of all sites with a current planning approval. For sites with a detailed planning approval and outline permission information was recorded on their location, planning status, land type and stage of development. Small sites with outstanding permission are listed in Appendix 1 schedule 15. 2.4 The detailed surveys of large and small sites provide information on housing completions between 1 April 2008 and 31 March 2009. These are listed in Appendix one schedules 6, 7 and 8 (large sites) and appendix one schedule 13 (small sites). Appendix one schedules 16 to 26 also give more detailed information on completed sites, including dwelling numbers, bedroom counts and any demolitions that occurred due to site redevelopment. 2.5 Not all sites which receive planning permission are implemented within the three or five year span of the permission. Appendix one schedule 22 details the annual lapse rate of planning permissions. 2.6 Where appropriate, sites listed in the schedules are identified under the following categories: Greenfield land (G): Land which has not previously been developed including parks, recreation grounds and allotments. This category also includes land or buildings which are currently in use for agricultural or forestry purposes and land that was previously developed but where the remains of any structure or activity have blended into the landscape over time. Brownfield land (B): (also known as previously developed land) Land which is or was occupied by a permanent structure, excluding agricultural or forestry buildings. The definition covers the curtilage of the development (see Annex B of PPS3). Page 2 Housing Land Availability Study, April 2009 The definition excludes land and buildings that have been used for agriculture, forestry and woodland purposes, and land in built-up areas which has not been developed previously (e.g. parks, recreation grounds, and allotments – even though these areas may contain certain urban features such as paths, pavilions and other buildings). Also excluded is land which was previously developed but where the remains of any structure or activity have blended into the landscape in the process of time (to the extent that it can reasonably be considered as part of the natural surroundings), or has subsequently been put to an amenity use and cannot be regarded as requiring redevelopment. Prior to April 2001, sites identified in Housing Land Availability Reports were classified as either greenfield or brownfield. Following the publication of new Government guidance on monitoring of housing land availability, sub-categories of greenfield or brownfield are now being used to provide additional detail on previous uses. Other abbreviations used in this study are defined in the glossary of terms section on page 198. Page 3 Housing Land Availability Study, April 2009 3.0 HOUSING COMPLETIONS 2008 to 2009 3.1 In the twelve months ending 31 March 2009 a total of 272 dwellings were completed in Malvern Hills District. Taking into account replacement dwellings, the net increase to the dwelling stock was 258. This is in line with the total annual mean average of 265 completed dwellings per year between 1996/7 and 2007/8. The 2008/9 monitoring period, illustrates 87% of dwellings were completed on previously- developed land. This is the District’s best performance since records began in 1996. On previously developed land Replacement Year Total Dwellings Number Percentage Demolitions Demolitions 1996/7 402 238 59.2 - # 1997/8 467 308 66 - # 1998/9 306 208 68 - # 1999/0 151 121 80.1 - # 2000/1 196 148 75.5 11 # 2001/2 184 133 72.3 18 # 2002/3 256 189 73.8 25 # 2003/4 273 223 81.7 12 # 2004/5 248 197 79.5 22 # 2005/6 178 134 75.2 10 # 2006/7 187 136 72.7 13 # 2007/8 328 261 79.6 23 # 2008/9 272 237 87.1 9 16 TOTAL 3448 2532 73.4% 143* * Total since monitoring period 2000/2001 #- no comparative data available Table 1: Housing Completions 1996 – 2009 3.2 As figure 1 illustrates, the proportion of new housing completed on previously developed-land has generally increased since 1996/7, a reflection of a higher proportion of completed dwellings on previously- developed allocated sites as identified in MHDLP policy DS5 (Housing sites within Malvern Urban Area). Furthermore it reflects MHDC’s Page 4 Housing Land Availability Study, April 2009 adherence to PPS3: Housing’s aim for a flexible responsive supply of land. 2008/9 87% 13% 2007/8 80% 20% 2006/7 73% 27% 2005/6 75% 25% 2004/5 80% 21% 2003/4 82% 18% 2002/3 74% 26% Period 2001/2 72% 28% 2000/1 76% 25% 1999/0 80% 20% 1998/9 68% 32% 1997/8 66% 34% 1996/7 59% 41% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Figure one: Relationship between brownfield (brown columns) and greenfield (green columns) net completions over time. 3.3 Of the gross total number of completions during the year, there were: • 59 dwellings (22%) completed on local plan allocated sites. This compares with 14 dwellings (4%) in the year 2007/8 and 0 dwellings (0%) in year 2006/7; • 122 windfall dwellings (45%) completed on sites of 5 dwellings or more. This compares with 115 dwellings (35%) in the year 2007/8 and a mean average of 132 dwellings between years 1996/7 and 2007/8; and • 91 windfall dwellings (33%) were completed on sites of 4 dwellings or less.

  • Records Indexes Tithe Apportionment and Plans Handlist
    Records Service Records Indexes Tithe Apportionment and Plans handlist The Tithe Commutation Act of 1836 replaced the ancient system of payment of tithes in kind with monetary payments. As part of the valuation process which was undertaken by the Tithe Commissioners a series of surveys were carried out, part of the results of which are the Tithe Maps and Apportionments. An Apportionment is the principal record of the commutation of tithes in a parish or area. Strictly speaking the apportionment and map together constitute a single document, but have been separated to facilitate use and storage. The standard form of an Apportionment contains columns for the name(s) of the landowners and occupier(s); the numbers, acreage, name or description, and state of cultivation of each tithe area; the amount of rent charge payable, and the name(s) of the tithe-owner(s). Tithe maps vary greatly in scale, accuracy and size. The initial intent was to produce maps of the highest possible quality, but the expense (incurred by the landowners) led to the provision that the accuracy of the maps would be testified to by the seal of the commissioners, and only maps of suitable quality would be so sealed. In the end, about one sixth of the maps had seals. A map was produced for each "tithe district", that is, one region in which tithes were paid as a unit. These were often distinct from parishes or townships. Areas in which tithes had already been commutated were not mapped, so that coverage varied widely from county to county.

These intangible features require protection and considerate development within the boundaries. One parish but Hanley Castle and Hanley Swan are different villages. They have nothing in common. Please do not confuse matters by assuming they are one. As an issue of heritage it is important that they retain their own identities.
