Together defi nes the aspirations of the Malvern Hills Partnership (Vision 21) for the Malvern Hills District up until 2021, building on and remaining consistent with the Community strategy set for 2003 - 2006. It draws on the existing strengths and challenges facing the District, the current conditions that exist locally, regionally and nationally and on the views and desires of the residents and organisations within the District. Our Vision for the future is of: The task is to build on this story to ensure that the District’s communities continue to “A District with a mix of people of all be vibrant and enduring. ages, living in supportive communities, MHP has identifi ed three priorities where people can travel without reliance through which this can best be achieved. on owning a car, where they can live It is considered that these three areas in safety, free from crime and the fear compliment each other in the strategy for of crime, where the rural character and the future and will, by their nature, positively beauty of the area is looked after, where affect all other important issues. they can enjoy a good standard of living and have secure, well paid and fulfi lling These priorities are: jobs and can afford a home that suits their needs.” • Protecting Our Environment and Tackling Climate Change In addition to reaffi rming our Vision for the • Meeting local Housing needs District the strategy explains our priorities • Improving Economic Viability and the cross cutting work that we will focus on. Although three priorities have been identifi ed, there are other areas which are In deciding the key priorities for the District, also central to the wellbeing of the people the Malvern Hills Partnership is aware that who live and work here. These are: residents value the areas’ outstanding • Stronger Communities beauty and the Partnership is conscious • Improving Health and Wellbeing that alongside this, there has been • Meeting the Needs of Children and great creativity and innovation which still Young People continues. Our ‘Story of the District’ aims to • Communities that are Safe and Feel Safe draw a very broad picture of the District so that our priority work can be placed within this context. A Sustainable Community Strategy for Malvern Hills District 2006 - 2021 3 A number of the issues arise from the key priorities and central themes in this Sustainable Community Strategy and these have been identified and included for consideration as part of the South Worcestershire Joint Core Strategy, which will form the basis of the Local Development Framework (a series of Planning policy documents). The Malvern Hills Partnership recognises the sub regional role of the city of Worcester and the significant effect that this will have on development and the demand on infrastructure and services in Malvern Hills District. We will work hard to maximise the positive impact and to limit the negative aspects of any future large scale developments. The broad strategic areas contained in Our Future Together have been and are being followed up with specific action plans in themed and priority areas. These are to be taken forward by local theme groups who will turn our aims into action and more importantly - results. To add value as a strategic partnership, The Malvern Hills Partnership must be able to bring together people and organisations that can make a difference and then make sure they do! We are confident that the commitments we have made in this document are right for the District today and will ensure that our future District remains a first class place to live work and visit. Cllr Serena Croad Guy Weston Leader Chief Executive Malvern Hills District Council Festival Housing Group 4 A Sustainable Community Strategy for Malvern Hills District 2006 - 2021 How this Strategy was developed When the first Community Strategy Community Strategy, which set out the was devised in 2002, extensive public agreed key priorities and central themes consultation was carried out to identify the for the District, was produced and was issues which people thought were most endorsed at Vision 21’s annual Conference important for the District. Our approach was on 28th February 2007. to use this information as the basis for this reviewed Strategy. This document is the full Sustainable Community Strategy which develops those The Strategic Board also examined key priorities and themes, and explains how statistical data about the District from a wide they will be achieved. range of sources, including data published by Government, various local organisations, the Primary Care Trust and Police, and local environmental data from bodies like British Gas and the World Wildlife Fund. Surveys carried out by Malvern Hills District Council and Worcestershire County Council on the views and concerns of local residents and their priorities for improvement were also examined. Vision 21 also recognised the value of Parish Plans. Preparing these plans had involved significant consultation within parishes and they provided useful information about local issues. Vision 21 was able to identify the issues being raised in Parish Plans across the District and took these into account. The Strategic Board then embarked on a lengthy visioning process to determine what issues were the key priorities for ensuring the future well being of the District. The Strategic Board consulted all Vision 21 Partners on their views and a series of consultation meetings were held throughout the District. This consultation was also open to Parish and Town Councils and the public. As a result a draft short form Sustainable A Sustainable Community Strategy for Malvern Hills District 2006 - 2021 5 Actions by Malvern Hills Partnership and its partners Details of the priorities and central themes and the actions being taken or proposed by the Malvern Hills Partnership and its partners are set out in this document. • We will do all we can to influence and encourage its partners and other organisations to address these issues in their strategies and plans and ensure that they are aligned in their approach. • We will be working to ensure that County wide strategies and the Local Area Agreement assist us in achieving our aims, and will also seek to positively influence new and emerging regional and national plans where ever possible. • We will also work with local communities to support actions relating to these issues and to play their part in making improvements. • We are conscious of the distinct geography of the area and the problems that ensue with cross boundary issues. • We will work in conjunction with neighbours in Worcestershire, Shropshire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire for the mutual benefit of the people who live and work here. 6 A Sustainable Community Strategy for Malvern Hills District 2006 - 2021 The Malvern Hills District - The Place and its People Malvern Hills is located in the West Midlands on the outskirts of Worcestershire. It is one of the least densely populated districts in Worcestershire with a population of around 73, 900 residents sparsely covering an area of 577 km2. The principal towns in the district are Malvern, Upton upon Severn and Tenbury Wells. The area is largely rural with the Malvern Hills, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, providing a spectacular centre point to the district. The hills boast unique panoramic views and attract over 1.5 million tourists every year. As well as the natural environment, Malvern Hills is also rich in heritage and the arts and the area offers a variety of attractions such as the Three Counties Show, the Upton Jazz Festival and the Mistletoe Festival in Tenbury. Because and despite of its largely rural nature the Malvern Hills is presented with many issues and opportunities ranging from having some of the most nationally sparsely populated rural areas to growth, economic nearly 21% of Malvern Hills residents over development and community issues related 65, well above the regional average.

The opening into the larger cave was originally a mere crevice four to six inches wide, requiring many tons of cliff to be removed ere we could effect an entrance. Even then, for some 20 feet, it was but a natural " tunnel," too small, in most parts, either to creep or turn in. No large animals could possibly have entered there; so that the presence of their bones beyond, more or less imbedded in stalagmite, proved that some other entrance, not yet detected, must once have existed. From one of the ramifications, we extracted almost the entire skeleton of a Wolf. Its bones were intermingled with those of a Roebuck, on which it had probably been feeding. The Wolf's skull was a little over three-fourths the size of a full-grown male Arctic specimen. A single canine tooth, belonging to a much larger Wolf, was found at no great distance, and near to the place where the Lynx bones were imbedded. I see no reason to doubt that the Lynx may have roamed through- out our forests and mountain glens, along with the Wolf and the Bear, till a comparatively recent period, just as it still does in Norway ; albeit its origin in Great Britain probably dated from the time when these islands were united to the Continent.

    Education Planning Obligations in Worcestershire Table of Charges 2020-2021 from 1st April 2020 Forward The Worcestershire Education Planning Obligations policy was approved by Worcestershire County Council Cabinet and became effective from 1st August 2019. Under delegated authority, per pupil place cost is to be updated within the policy annually in line with the approved methodology. The charges set out in this document are applicable to education planning obligations from 1st April 2020. The Education Planning Obligations policy informs Local District Council Strategic Planning Documents (SPDs) and underpins contributions sought under S106 agreements. Introduction Where the impact of a development is judged to be of a level which would require delivery of a new school then the contribution will be negotiated with the developer. The contribution sought will reflect the site specific build costs and the proportion of places in the new school which are likely to be filled by children resident on the proposed development. The County Council operates 16 Education Planning Areas, based around the main population centres. The map below shows how these Education Planning Areas relate to district council boundaries. Rubery Hagley Kidderminster Wythall Bewdley Bromsgrove Stourport Redditch Tenbury Droitwich Martley Worcester Pershore Malvern Evesham Upton Charges by Planning Area where a Community Infrastructure Levy is applicable The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) was adopted by Malvern Hills District Council and Wychavon District Council on 5th June 2017 and by Worcester City Council on 4th September 2017. www.worcestershire.gov.uk Where site specific infrastructure is required in a CIL area an educational contribution under S106 will be sought and developers are advised to contact Worcestershire County Council at the earliest opportunity to discuss the level of charges.
