Licence number AL50684A 42180/01/SPM/CR [Reference] Stafford Borough Council : Economic and Housing Development Needs Assessment Executive Summary Housing Market Area / Functional Economic Market Area Over the past ten years or so, the Borough has experienced a strengthening level of self-containment, with migratory patterns expanding and more people moving into the Borough from the adjoining Staffordshire authorities than before. There are very strong migration links between the Borough, Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme. The Borough has a self-containment rate of 71% for in-migration, and 73% for out- migration when short household moves are considered and therefore exceeds the threshold for a self- contained Housing Market Area (HMA) set out previously in the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). Median house prices vary significantly across the Borough, but are in line with those in adjacent areas in neighbouring local authorities. As the Borough is a predominantly rural district with overlapping HMAs and a number of other authorities nearby, it is considered both reasonable and pragmatic to take the administrative boundaries of the Borough as being a ‘best fit’ HMA for planning purposes. ONS Travel to Work Areas [TTWA] suggests that the Borough is a self-contained TTWA, albeit with some overlap with the Wolverhampton TTWA to the south.

  • Historic Environment Character Area Overviews for Stafford This
    Appendix 2: Historic Environment Character Area Overviews for Stafford This appendix provides an overview of the historic environment for each of the Historic Environment Character Areas (HECAs) within Stafford Borough. It should be noted that the information and any recommendations contained within this appendix is subject to amendment should any new information become available. For further information regarding the Historic Environment Record (HER); Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) and designated sites please contact: Cultural Environment Team Environment & Countryside Development Services Directorate Staffordshire County Council Riverway Stafford ST16 3TJ Tel: 01785 277281/277285/277290 Email: [email protected] Staffordshire County Council June 2009 1 Historic Environment Character Area (HECA) 5b Introduction This document forms an overview of the HECA which specifically addresses the potential of medium to large scale development to impact upon the historic environment. The character area is dominated by 20th century housing development and field systems. Evidence of earlier farming practices and settlement do survive across the character area in the form of ridge and furrow earthworks, late medieval/post medieval field systems, moated sites and historic farmsteads. Earlier activity has been recorded in the character area in the form of the hillfort at Berry Ring and evidence for prehistoric to Roman settlement at Acton Trussell. Such sites suggest the potential for further unknown archaeological deposits to survive across the HECA. The character area covers 3,056ha and is split between Stafford Borough Council, to the north, and South Staffordshire Council to the south. Archaeological and historic documentation A number of archaeological assessments were carried out in the early 1990s for proposed large scale development.

  • Colwich Neighbourhood Plan
    Colwich Neighbourhood Plan 1 Colwich Neighbourhood Plan Foreword, Welcome on behalf of Colwich Parish Council to the plan for the future of Colwich & the Haywoods Work on this Neighbourhood Plan commenced following an opportunity offered in the Government’s Localism proposals in early 2011. To achieve its completion has taken considerable effort, and is no small achievement. This Plan has been generated from a wide variety of surveys and consultation events including public meetings with residents and other stakeholders, businesses, landowners and developers. Throughout its preparation, we have kept all parties informed through meetings, the Parish web-site, Social Media and the Parish Newsletter. Much of the work behind this plan has been carried out on a voluntarily basis by Colwich Parish Council’s Neighbourhood Plan committee, complimented by a number of residents who were co-opted to bring additional expertise and experience. Additional support and assistance has been provided by officers of Stafford Borough Council, Planning Aid and the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust. Although we have enlisted the help of a paid administrator, we have been determined to complete as much as possible of the plan by ourselves so that we can say it has been prepared by and for the people who live and work in the Parish of Colwich. This Plan now describes the desires, hopes and aspirations of the majority of Parish residents and stakeholders for the Parish through to 2031. We will take the opportunity to review the plan every 5 years or so to ensure that circumstances and events haven’t demanded that some aspects require reconsideration.
