All had agreed that they understood why we are the nicest place to live. He further announced the following, on behalf of the Cabinet Member for Community Wellbeing, Councillor Crampton. Last week we held an Ageing Well Forum here in the Council chamber. We heard from the Bobby Scheme about how they can help the elderly and vulnerable stay safe in their own homes. CL.116 The Bobby scheme provides practical help to elderly or vulnerable people including those who have been or are at risk of becoming, victims of crime or anti social behaviour in or near their homes. Help includes making minor repairs after a burglary, fitting security chains, window locks or spy holes, providing crime prevention advice, the installation of smoke alarms and providing fire prevention advice. All these services are at no cost to the individual. At a time when quite a few of us are knocking on doors, could we just pass on this information to any of our residents who could benefit from this scheme. They can be contacted by phone or e mail, telephone number 0300 777 0157 or e- mail [email protected] The Cabinet Member for Regulatory Services, Councillor Collett, announced: Building Control I am pleased to announce that after much negotiation good progress is now being made towards the merger of our Building Control function with Rushmoor Borough Council. The main purpose of this merger from our point of view is to give us greater resilience at a time when a lot of this work is being done by private sector Approved Inspectors. This is expected to be cost neutral for us, although Rushmoor may make a small saving as they move towards our ways of working and accounting. It will mean that we can not only maintain our reliability into the future, but also improve our service and make it more attractive for those who are currently opting for the private sector.

  • Hart District Council Hart Local Plan Strategy and Sites 2016-2032
    Hart District Council Hart Local Plan Strategy and Sites 2016-2032 - Examination 3/12/18 Matter 4: Question raised regarding where people living in the new settlement will come from? 1. During the Matter 4 discussion the inspector posed the question “Where will the people come from that will live in the new settlement?” 2. The attached paper provides an analysis on UK Domestic in-Migration to Hart District for Year to end July 2017. 3. We assume the question has been posed because the Plan meets OAHN without the new settlement, and so if a new settlement comes forward within the Plan period, it is relevant to consider the impact on in-migration? 4. If this is the reasoning behind the question, then one must take into account the front- loaded nature of the trajectory. In the first half of the plan period anticipated delivery in Hart will exceed OAHN, by virtue of committed developments. If one assumes that housing provided over and above OAHN will draw additional people into the HMA from other areas, then one can assume that is what will happen in the first half of the Plan period. 5. In the second half of the Plan period, the trajectory falls short of the annualised level of OAHN with the implication that Hart District will then export people to other HMAs, unless housing supply is boosted; the preferred means of which is the new settlement. 6. If a new settlement DPD is found sound, it will set the principle of development and the detailed policy framework.

  • Reducing Violent Crime and Public Disorder in Hampshire, UK (2009)
    SUMMARY Reducing violent crime and disorder in Hampshire UK Scanning Since 2004, increases in alcohol related public place violent crime and disorder in the UK were a matter for public disquiet. There were serious effects upon the economy and in public confidence. In 2006, an agreement was made between HM Government, Hampshire County Council, Hampshire Constabulary and partners to achieve more demanding performance targets. They agreed to ‘stretch’ the existing target for the year 2009, to 25.3% lower than the 2004/5 crime level. A financial incentive was at the heart of the agreement. In 2007, a Co-ordinator was appointed to assist three Hampshire Constabulary, Operational Command Units (those in the County area) to achieve their target. The Co-ordinator had developed a methodology to make problem solving routine. Analysis Progress had been made between 2006/7.The identified problem and responses were reviewed. Reductions had been achieved through enforcement and education; further analysis indicated potential challenges to continued progress using these tactics. Areas of work and locality were identified. Further analysis found 10% of streets where violent crime occurred hosted 54% of that crime. Seventy-two streets represented 17% of crime where crime levels exceeded fifty in a year. This provided the best opportunities for success by tackling the issues in certain streets. Secondary analysis highlighted sixteen issues that could act against ensuring problem solving success. Response A strategy was developed to address the issues and get a routine problem solving approach embedded into management response, as well as police and partnership practice to tackle long term and rising problems.

  • Opening up Costs of Strategic Sites
    Further documentation for SSDC CIL examiner Mike Fox As per Mike Fox’s request, I attach below a table of ‘opening up’ costs for strategic sites (200 units+) collated by Savills from HBF member developers in relation to other CIL examinations around the country. The Scheme Enabling & Abnormal works are broadly in line with the range of £17k-£23k per plot identified in the Harman report (bearing in mind that document was published 4 years ago and, as has been evidenced, build costs have risen since that time). It is our view that a cost of this type should be included in CIL viability tests for all the SUE’s.

' W I G H T .........../ C O U N C I L 1 Hampshire Homelessness Referral Protocol Hampshire Homelessness Referral Protocol I 1 Aims of protocol The Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 calls for new referral and joint working arrangements between housing authorities and other public sector authorities in the prevention and relief of homelessness. This protocol sets out how local authorities within Hampshire and public authorities operating in the local areas will work together to prevent homelessness and the procedures to be followed in making referrals of individuals identified as being homeless or at risk of homelessness. I 2 Background The Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 came into force on 3 April 2018 and significantly reformed homelessness legislation by placing duties on local authorities to intervene at earlier stages to prevent homelessness in their areas. It requires housing authorities to provide homelessness services to all those affected, not just those who have 'priority need'. These include: 1. (a) an enhanced prevention duty extending the period a household is threatened with homelessness from 28 days to 56 days, meaning that housing authorities are required to work with people to prevent homelessness at an earlier stage; and 2. (b) a new duty for those who are already homeless so that housing authorities will support households for 56 days to relieve their homelessness by helping them to secure accommodation.
