    East Cambridgeshire Objectively Assessed Housing Need October 2016 Establishing future need for housing A report by Cambridgeshire County Council Research Group to support East Cambridgeshire District Council in objectively assessing and evidencing development needs for housing, both market and affordable. Executive Summary 1. “The primary purpose of identifying need is to identify the future quantity of housing needed, including a breakdown by type, tenure and size.” Source: Planning Practice Guidance Reference ID: 2a-002-20140306 2. The purpose of this report is to identify the future quantity of housing needed, from 2014 to 2036. 3. The overall housing figure that has been identified is 12,900 dwellings (586 dwellings per annum). 4. This housing figure results from applying an upward adjustment to the starting point estimate of overall housing need over the 2014 to 2036 period, to bring the population and households in 2036 to the levels suggested by the official 2012-based projections. 5. The purpose of this report is also to consider the total need for affordable housing in the context of the overall housing figure. 6. The total need for affordable housing that has been calculated is 2,854 houses for 2014-2036. 7. Table 1 provides a summary of the identified change in population, jobs and dwellings numbers for the period 2014 to 2036.

  • Help to Heat Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Statement of Intent
    APPENDIX 2 Energy Company Obligation: Help to Heat Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Statement of Intent On behalf of Action on Energy Cambridgeshire including: Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, Fenland District Council, Huntingdonshire District Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council. Date of publication: **TBC** Version: 1.4 URL: [insert webpage SOI has been published on] 1) Introduction 1.1. Fuel poverty in England is measured using the Low Income High Costs (LIHC) indicator, which considers a household to be fuel poor if: they have required fuel costs that are above average (the national median level); and were they to spend that amount, they would be left with a residual income below the official poverty line.1 1.2. Nationally the 2015 figures for England estimate that 2.5 million households suffer from fuel poverty, 11% the total.2 Living in a cold home doubles the risk of respiratory problems in children; increases the risk of minor illnesses; exacerbates existing conditions such as arthritis and is associated with 3 times the level of excess winter deaths as the warmest homes.3 1.3. Action on Energy Cambridgeshire is a collective of the city and district councils that work together for mutual benefit in addressing fuel poverty. We welcome the introduction of Flexible Eligibility as part of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) as it will allow us to support additional vulnerable households under broader criteria. 1.4. Fuel Poverty is a serious concern in our county and affects over 19,000 households4 contributing to more than 800 Excess Winter Deaths on average each year.5 Although our collective actions helped reduce fuel poverty across the county by an estimated 1468 households from 2013-2015 however there is still more to be done.

    Cambridge: Closing the Gap An independent report prepared by Centre for Cities on Cambridge’s economy presented to Cambridge City Council, Cambridgeshire County Council, Cambridgeshire Horizons, the Greater Cambridge Partnership and the East of England Development Agency March 2009 Lena Tochtermann Introduction Cambridge is a Partner City in the Centre for Cities research programme ‘Unlocking City Potential and Sustaining City Growth’. The programme works closely with a small group of cities to inform economic development strategies and improve economic performance. This report looks at how housing, transport and the economy interact and sets out policy analysis and recommendations in response to three principal questions: • What is the impact of Cambridge’s growth on the wider economy? • How can transport be used to support sustainable economic growth in Cambridge? • How can housing policy in Cambridge help to overcome affordability challenges and support sustainable economic growth? Cambridge’s Sectoral profile (2007) Cambridge Great Britain Manufacturing Manufacturing Other services 1.6% 4.5% Other services 2.3% 10.6% Construction 1.8% Construction 4.9% Wholesale activities 2.1% Wholesale activities 4.2% Retail & leisure Public administration, Public administration, 18.5% education & health education & health 43.8% 26.9% Retail & leisure 22.1% Transport & communication 3.1% Agriculture & energy 0.3% Transport & communication 5.9% Research, architecture & Financial & Related office services Agriculture & energy Business Services 6.1% 1.6% Research, architecture & Financial & Related 15.7% office services Business Services 8.4% 15.6% Source: Nomis, Annual Business Inquiry (2009) for 2007 data Key recommendations Cambridge is a key economic driver for the wider region and an asset for the UK as a whole, attracting investment in knowledge intensive industries that otherwise might not have come to the UK at all.

  • An Overview of Ely
    1 Contents About this document 4 Introduction 5 A vision for Ely 6 Area of focus 1: Station gateway 16 Area of focus 2: City Centre 20 Area of focus 3: Connectivity 25 Implementation Plan 29 3 About this document This document has been commissioned by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA), working in partnership with East Cambridgeshire District Council. This Market Town Plan is a series of living documents, owned and updated by local partners including the District Council and the Combined Authority. The devolution deal which created the combined authority recognises the important role of market town economies in growing the wider Cambridgeshire and Peterborough economy. A masterplan for each of the eleven market towns across the region provides the opportunity to look at the unique features of each town, and offers deliverables which will benefit the immediate and wider economy. This Market Town Plan for Ely endorses Mayor James Palmer’s target for the combined authority region to double its Gross Value Added (GVA) over the next twenty-five years. To achieve this, market town economies must ‘do their bit’ – the interventions outlined in this document have been selected for the purpose of achieving this. We don’t expect everything in this document to be funded immediately. There are some quick wins where an injection of funding can get things moving. For other projects, we will need to spend time developing detailed plans and compelling investment cases before we can begin to leverage in funding. While the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) has funded this report, and is keen to invest in our city, we know we will need to build a coalition of supporters, including central government, to get some of the schemes detailed here delivered.

  • East Cambridgeshire Local Plan Examination: Inspector’S Matters, Issues, and Questions for Discussion at the Examination Hearings
    East Cambridgeshire Local Plan Examination: Inspector’s Matters, Issues, and Questions for Discussion at the Examination Hearings Representations: Lichfields on behalf of Gladman Developments Limited Date: 22 May 2018 Our ref: 16168/MS/BHa Subject Matter 3: Objectively Assessed Needs for Housing and Employment Land Issue 1: Whether the Council’s approach to calculating its full, objectively assessed needs is justified, based on up-to-date and reliable evidence, effective, positively prepared, and consistent with national policy? 1.0 Objectively Assessed Need 20. What is the implication of there being a different time period for housing need and employment growth? What is the justification? 1.1 The Council uses different time periods for housing need (2016 to 2036) and employment growth (2014 to 2036). It is clear that this inconsistency in base date has arisen because ‘late in the day’ the Council has chosen to use the proposed draft ‘standard method’ as an assessment of housing need, which has a base date of 2016, rather than its OAN from PE6 which has a base date of 2014. The Council appears to have offered no justification for the application of different time dates. The Vision for the plan is forward looking and appears to overlook the inconsistency in the base date of the delivery of housing and jobs in the District stating that: “In 2036, we will have built a better East Cambridgeshire, accommodating the development of 10,835 new homes and 6,000 jobs”. 1.2 The delivery of housing and jobs are inherently linked in any given location and para 158 of the NPPF requires strategies for them to be integrated.

  • Interim Report May 2018
    Interim Report May 2018 www.cpier.org.uk Foreword FROM THE CHAIR OF THE REVIEW, DAME KATE BARKER The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Independent Economic Review (CPIER) is pleased to present the interim report, which has been led by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Independent Economic Commission (CPIEC). It is co-funded by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, the Business Board of the Combined Authority, and Cambridge Ahead. This is of course the Commission’s report. The views expressed have been developed as independent – as our funders asked us to do. The Commission is now roughly at the half way stage in the review. We have gathered a great deal of evidence. Much of the evidence we have is data on the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough economy. Most of what we have now is from published sources, and we have commissioned a range of new research too. Some of that is available to us now and informs this report. Much of the research is still underway and will be reflected in the final report. At this stage, we have not set out a wholly definitive analysis of where the economy of the area is heading and what should be done about it. This is more our view of where the economy is today and how it got there, an important starting point for the review. While the area the review has responsibility for is defined by its administrative geography, we are primarily concerned with the economics of the area, and we therefore refrain from artificially simplifying, or forcing together, the economic geography.
