  • Housing Land Availability Study 2008
    Housing Land Availability Study Adjusted to March 2008 Development and Regeneration Department Planning Division– Spatial Planning Team 1 Current Housing Land Commitment Adjusted to March 2008 Background 1) This note updates the housing land position relating to the situation at the 31st March 2008 and considers the distribution of development land, provides information on new planning permission ns, and assesses the balance between private and housing association provision. It also provides detailed information relating to dwellings completed in the past year. Housing Land Requirements & Supply 2) Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing (PPS 3) was published in November 2006 with an objective to ensure that the planning system delivers a flexible, responsive supply of land, reflecting the principles of “Plan, Monitor, Manage”. From April 2007 Local Planning Authorities are required to identify sufficient specific and deliverable sites to ensure a rolling 5-year supply of housing and demonstrate the extent to which existing plans already fulfil the housing requirement. To be deliverable sites must be: available, suitable and achievable in the next 5 years and there is also a requirement to demonstrate a 15 year supply. 3) To address this the Local Planning Authority is required to undertake an annual Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). The first SHLAA for Bolton was commenced in December 2007 by consultants Roger Tym & Partners and the results from this will be published in the summer 2008 including a 5 and 15 year housing supply figures. 4) The SHLAA replaces the former annual Housing Land Availability Study that updated the housing land position in the Borough and reported on the distribution of development land, provided information on new planning permissions and dwelling completions.

    7 School Bus Services in Bolton September 2019 to July 2020 Journeys in this leaflet operate on schooldays only, unless otherwise stated. Although provided primarily for school students, members of the public may use these services with the exception of Yellow School Buses. Services are listed alphabetically under school names. An introduction to School buses and concessionary fares for students in Greater Manchester Passengers can pay a fare to the driver for each journey shown on this timetable. However, students will need to show an IGO pass to travel at the concessionary (reduced) fare. If students do not have an IGO pass, they will have to pay a higher fare. Most of the journeys shown in this timetable are funded by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). The majority of TfGM funded services charge a standard fare and also offer daily return tickets. In some cases, the return ticket can also be used for travel on other journeys which serve similar areas – even if it is provided by a different operator. On most services, students can also buy a weekly scholar’s ticket, which costs £7.40. These are ONLY valid on schooldays on school buses and are available from the bus driver on all services where they are applicable. To help the driver, please try to have the correct fare when buying your ticket. A summary of fares and ticketing information on all school services included in this timetable can be found at https://www.tfgm.com/tickets-and-passes/bus-school-bus-services There are also a small number of TfGM funded services where the operator sets the fares.

  • 'After Housing Costs' Child Poverty Rate from Highest to Lowest
    Notes: This spreadsheet ranks wards in Greater Manchester by their 'after housing costs' child poverty rate from highest to lowest. This is done using data published by End Child Poverty in 2019. The data also ranks areas based on the proportion of the population in a ward classified as black and minority ethnic (BAME) in census data. The higher the proportion of people who are BAME in a ward the higher the rank. This data shows that areas with the highest BAME populations in Greater Manchester are often the areas with the highest rates of child poverty.
