The review of sites involves reviewing existing as well as emerging employment land and premises to assist with policy formulation for jobs provision and site allocations within the Part 2 Local Plans for each Authority. 1.2 In addition, we have been instructed to assess the potential latent demand for employment provision affecting the wider region, and whether there is potential for capturing an element of this market, especially from “overheating” in neighbouring areas. For example life sciences in the Peterborough/Cambridge area. 1.3 Although this is a joint commission two separate reports for each study area have been prepared. Study approach 1.4 The study is split into two main elements, firstly we provide an assessment of the property market for employment space, covering offices, general industrial space and strategic distribution. Below, for each of these categories we will consider in turn demand, supply and the balance of the market. The main purpose of the analysis is to identify where there is potential demand for new floorspace, and hence a need for development land to be identified in the emerging plan. 1.5 In relation to demand, we identify the types of business that are taking space in the borough or may consider doing so, and what property they are looking for in terms of size and quality. In relation to supply and market balance, we analyse the stock which is currently available, recently developed and in the pipeline, and the rental values and capital values that properties in the area are achieving. The purpose of our analysis is to determine: • How far the existing floorspace stock is meeting current and foreseeable occupier requirements; • Hence, how far there is likely to be demand for more or different space, now or in the future; • Conversely, if property and land are oversupplied, overall or in particular sections of the market. 1.6 These findings help assess the potential demand for new employment floorspace, and hence the quantity and qualitative mix of development sites that the new Local Plan should identify for employment uses. 1 Kettering Borough Employment Land Review 1.7 A strength of the market facing analysis is that it considers real-life property transactions, including the values (rents and prices) realised in such transactions, and whether these values are enough to support viable development. This provides evidence of effective, or viable, demand – which means that potential occupiers will pay enough, and (where relevant) have enough covenant strength1, to support financially viable development. This is important because only sites that are viable will be delivered in practice, and in line with national planning policy, sites in Local Plans should be identified for employment only if they are likely to be delivered. Thus, the revised National Planning Policy Framework advises that plans should be deliverable (para 16b3) and planning should avoid safeguarding employment sites that have no reasonable prospect of being used for that purpose (para 120). 1.8 Our analysis below splits the industrial market: • General industrial uses – including production space (factories and workshops) also small to medium-sized warehousing (B1c, B2 & B8). • Large-scale strategic warehousing, in units of around 100,000 sqft or more, typically provided as new build on specialist logistics parks (B8). This is considered in the following section. 1.9 We distinguish these two sub-sectors because they have different market drivers as discussed later. 1.10 The second element of the study is the site appraisals. In this section we assess existing and proposed/identified sites for employment sites, from a demand perspective. For proposed/identified employment sites we consider whether, if a site were to be allocated for employment use is there viable market demand for the site. For existing sites, we consider whether they are well occupied, still fit for purpose, have scope to redevelop/expand/or refurbish, and whether the they should be safeguarded for their current use in the emerging Part 2 Local Plan. 1.11 It is important to note that our site assessment only answers part of the question on whether sites should be safeguarded, released or allocated because it takes no account of supply-side constraints, including policy constraints – which are being assessed separately by the Local Authority. Nor does the analysis at this stage take account of quantitative balance of total demand and supply. Furthermore, it is import to stress that sites/existing estates should not be considered in isolation but seen collectively within the context of the local market to ensure that there is not an over allocation/safeguarding, or under allocation/managed release of employment areas 1 A business tenant has strong covenant if there is good evidence that they will be in good financial health, and able to pay the rent, through the period of the tenancy. 2 Kettering Borough Employment Land Review 1.12 Therefore, to make final recommendations on land allocations it is necessary to bring together the two site assessments, demand and supply, with the overall calculation of market balance. This analysis will be undertaken by the local authority. Sources and definitions 1.13 Our property market research has drawn on four main sources: • We have relied on the property market database Estates Gazette Interactive (EGi) and commercial property research reports for evidence of take-up, availability and values, both for the market overall and individual properties; • Total stock figures have been derived from analysis of Valuation Office Agency (VOA) data on business rate assessments.

  • Northamptonshire Conservatives Welcome Wind Farm Planning Announcement
    NORTHAMPTONSHIRE CONSERVATIVES WELCOME WIND FARM PLANNING ANNOUNCEMENT Conservative Members of Parliament in Northamptonshire and the Party’s Parliamentary Candidate for Corby & East Northamptonshire, Thomas Pursglove, have today welcomed the changes to planning law which will ensure local residents affected by wind farm proposals will actually have a proper say in whether wind turbines are sited in or near their communities. New planning guidance supporting the planning framework from DCLG will make clear that the need for renewable energy does not automatically override environmental protections and the planning concerns of local communities. It will also give greater weight to landscape and visual impact concerns. In welcoming the announcement Chris Heaton-Harris MP (Daventry), said: “If you have been involved in any local campaign to fight an inappropriately sited onshore wind farm, you will know that on every occasion local opinion is trumped at the planning appeal by national energy policy/targets. The changes announced mean that this is reversed and more weight has to be given to local opinion. From what I can gather, subsidies will also be reviewed on an annual basis. This is superb news for those fighting unwanted wind turbines across Daventry and across the whole of England. I truly believe that this announcement brings about the beginning of the end of new onshore wind turbines across England. It is extraordinarily excellent news!” Peter Bone MP (Wellingborough), said: “Conservative ministers are to be congratulated for pushing through a reform to planning regulations which will mean that when local councils turn down wind farm proposals, they will not be overturned on appeal.

  • Police Report A6 Towns Forum
    Police Report A6 Towns forum PS 783 Robert Offord 26/06/2018 www.northants.police.uk In relation to the crime statistics, the usual caveat applies, that some types of crime rise as other types of crime fall however in the rural area there are no specific crime trends rapidly increasing that the neighbourhood team can specifically tackle. Of note in the last 12 months compared to the previous 12 months in Barton Seagrave, Burton Latimer, Desborough and Rothwell, Robberies have fallen across the board. With regards to Burglaries they too are steadily declining in the last 6 months after the spike before/ around Christmas. Of note Thefts in Burton Latimer have reduced by 18.72%, comparing to other crime types normally this significant percentage decrease is due to their only being a reduction in a handful of crimes out of a handful that were previously committed but of note in this case, the sample size is high, crime reduced from 203 thefts in the previous 12 months compared to the current 12 months where there were 165. Theft offences in Desborough Loatland reduced by 19% (from 105 to 85) and in Rothwell theft offences reduced by 10% (from 261 to 234) but I recognise that in Desborough St Giles there was an increase of 26%. In relation to Anti-social behaviour Barton Seagrave has seen no change, Burton Latimer has decreased by 29%, Desborough Loatland there has been a decrease of 35%, Desborough St Giles a decrease of 39% and in Rothwell a reduction of 16%. The neighbourhood team continue to work in the Locally Identified priorities and the neighbourhood team efforts have been detailed below.
