During 2015/16, 60.3 hectares of land were developed. The development over the last few years can be attributed to major new housing schemes in the communities of the Bristol North and East Fringes including sites at Charlton Hayes and Emersons Green. In addition there have been major new employment completions at Severnside. 2015/16 saw the completion of a large rail maintenance depot in Stoke Gifford, employment developments at Severnside, together with continued housing 4 Our Place developments in the Bristol North Fringe and at Number of homeless households Emersons Green. accepted by the council 2015/16 151 Source: South Gloucestershire Council 2014/15 182 *The appearance of a decline in growth on brownfield land (previously developed land) is mostly due to when development of sites straddles two reporting years. 2013/14 134 For example, if we take a new supermarket development on a brownfield site - the first year may have seen the loss of the existing commercial use on brownfield land 2012/13 141 and in the second year when the new store was complete, it would see the gain of brownfield land development. 2011/12 155 2010/11 173 2009/10 140 2008/09 231 Ratio of average house price to average 2007/08 199 earnings 2006/07 276 2005/06 291 2004/05 297 8.1 7.8 7.5 The graph shows that 151 households were accepted as homeless in 2015/16, meaning the England & Wales council had a statutory duty to re-house them.

  • Town-And-Parish-Council-Charter-2017
    A Charter between South Gloucestershire Council & Town and Parish Councils Town and Parish Councils Charter Introduction South Gloucestershire was established, following the reorganisation of local government, in 1995. From the outset there was an appreciation of the roles of Parish and Town Councils, and how they and the Unitary Authority should work together to best serve the people. The first version of this Charter was agreed, and adopted by the majority of local councils in 2002. The Charter is a framework for South Gloucestershire Council and the Town & Parish Councils (or Local Councils) to work in partnership in order to improve the well-being of the varied communities that make up South Gloucestershire. Through this Charter the respective councils agree to work in partnership whilst respecting each-other’s rights as separate democratic bodies. Town and Parish Councils are locally elected bodies which play an important role in the lives of communities. They are funded principally by an annual precept collected through the Council Tax on their behalf by South Gloucestershire. They have a wide range of powers, and many of their activities are interlinked with those of South Gloucestershire, and so by working in partnership more can be achieved than by each working alone. The South Gloucestershire Compact is an associated document which focuses on partnership working with the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector, and shares the same fundamental principles as the Charter. Indeed the Parish and Town Councils are all covered by the public sector commitments of the Compact. All Town and Parish Councils are invited to formally adopt the Charter as recognition of the relationship with South Gloucestershire, and also that this relationship is managed in accord with the Compact.
