Emma Newfield From: Helen Bonham Sent: 14 February 2016 23:03 To: Consult Planning Subject: Consultation on BORLP4 'Narrative' Document Dear Sirs We would like to comment on Redditch Borough Council’s revised document as follows: 1. It is ingenuous to gloss over the Sustainability Analysis of the ADR sites on the basis that this land has been previously “removed from the Green Belt for the express purpose of meeting the future development needs of the town” (Section 9.16). It is clear that in the years since this designation was applied, there have been fundamental changes in levels of car ownership and usage, travel patterns and public transport provision which have significant implications for the sustainability of local development. This implies that the Sustainability Analysis process should have reviewed potential development in these areas in detail and with no pre-conceptions. Indeed, the designation Area of Development Restraint implies that future development should be subject to rigorous review. It is clear that in reality the review in respect of these areas has been cursory and riven with preconception. 2.Recent announcements in respect of Redditch becoming a member of the West Midlands Combined Authority suggest that future development will, and should be, focussed towards the north of the town as Birmingham City Council will be the driving force and it will be more sustainable to build closer to the areas where new jobs will be created. In this context, the Bordesley site is closest to Birmingham and the Redditch Eastern Gateway, whereas Webheath and Foxlydiate are the furthest away. -

All rights reserved. 1 | 18 European Parliament Elections 2014 1.0 Introduction This briefing is part of DeHavilland EU’s Foresight Report series on the 2014 European elections and provides a preliminary overview of the candidates standing in the UK for election to the European Parliament in 2014. In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences. -

European Parliament Elections 2014 RESEARCH PAPER 14/32 11 June 2014
European Parliament Elections 2014 RESEARCH PAPER 14/32 11 June 2014 Elections to the European Parliament were held across the 28 states of the European Union between 22 and 25 May 2014. The UK elections were held concurrently with council elections in England and Northern Ireland on 22 May. The UK now has 73 MEPs, up from 72 at the last election, distributed between 12 regions. UKIP won 24 seats, Labour 20, the Conservatives 19, and the Green Party three. The Liberal Democrats won only one seat, down from 11 at the 2009 European election. The BNP lost both of the two seats they had won for the first time at the previous election. UKIP won the popular vote overall, and in six of the nine regions in England. Labour won the popular vote in Wales and the SNP won in Scotland. Across the UK as a whole turnout was 35%. Across Europe there was an increase in the number of seats held by Eurosceptic parties, although more centrist parties in established pro-European groups were still in the majority. The exact political balance of the new Parliament depends on the formation of the political groups. Turnout across the EU was 43%. It was relatively low in some of the newer Member States. Part 1 of this paper presents the full results of the UK elections, including regional analysis and local-level data. Part 2 presents a summary of the results across the EU, together with country-level summaries based on data from official national sources.

Understanding Political Party Change: Why More Conservative Female and Ethnic Minority Candidates Were Successful in the 2010 British General Election
Understanding Political Party Change: Why More Conservative Female and Ethnic Minority Candidates Were Successful in the 2010 British General Election Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Graduate Program in Global Studies Jytte Klausen, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Master’s Degree by Adrienne Roach May 2013 Acknowledgements For Matthew Wisnefske who never stops listening; Steve and Beth Roach for their encouragement; and Professor Jytte Klausen for her guidance and support I am also extremely grateful to the Members of Parliament and the former candidate I interviewed for this thesis. I know they all have very busy schedules, and are being asked to do interviews all the time. My time in London was very enlightening, helpful, and enjoyable because these individuals made time for me. I cannot thank them enough. ii Understanding Political Party Change: Why More Conservative Female and Ethnic Minority Candidates Were Successful in the 2010 British General Election A thesis presented to the Graduate Program in Global Studies Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Adrienne Roach This thesis examines the impacts of party competition and societal change and modernization on the outcome of the 2010 British General Election. Through the lens of descriptive representation, this thesis focuses on the 2010 general election as a case study. Interviews are conducted with Conservative female and ethnic minority MPs, and a former candidate to determine why the number of Conservative female and ethnic minority MPs increased in 2010. Three reasons for the increase are examined; competition with the Labour Party, internal pressure from party elites, and David Cameron’s leadership. -

European Parliament Elections 2009 RESEARCH PAPER 09/53 17 June 2009 Elections to the European Parliament were held across the 27 states of the European Union between 4 and 7 June 2009. The UK elections were held concurrently with the county council elections in England on 4 June. The UK now has 72 MEPs, down from 78 at the last election, distributed between 12 regions. The Conservatives won 25 seats, both UKIP and Labour 13 and the Liberal Democrats 11. The Green Party held their two seats, while the BNP won their first two seats in the European parliament. Labour lost five seats compared with the comparative pre-election position. The Conservatives won the popular vote overall, and every region in Great Britain except the North East, where Labour won, and Scotland, where the SNP won. UKIP won more votes than Labour. UK turnout was 34.5%. Across Europe, centre-right parties, whether in power or opposition, tended to perform better than those on the centre-left. The exact political balance of the new Parliament depends on the formation of Groups. The UK was not alone in seeing gains for far-right and nationalistic parties. Turnout across the EU was 43%. It was particularly low in some of the newer Member States. Part 1 of this paper presents the full results of the UK elections, including regional analysis and local-level data. Part 2 presents summary results of the results across the EU, together with country-level summaries based on data from official national sources.
