  • APPENDIX B: LOCAL CONTEXT B.1. the Borough Is
    APPENDIX B – THE LOCAL CONTEXT - HEALTH, WELL-BEING AND LEISURE STRATEGY, GREEN SPACE STRATEGY, PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY, LEISURE FACILITIES STRATEGY NORTH WARWICKSHIRE BOROUGH COUNCIL APPENDIX B: LOCAL CONTEXT BACKGROUND B.1. The Borough is the Northernmost district in the county of Warwickshire. It has several large urban settlements on its doorstep, with the Borough lying between Birmingham, Solihull, Tamworth, Coventry, Nuneaton and Hinckley, all of which are growing areas. B.2. North Warwickshire itself is overwhelmingly rural in nature with approximately two thirds of its area designated as Green Belt. The population of the Borough is 62,124 (2011 Census), most of which is centred in the three main towns in the Borough: Atherstone, Coleshill and Polesworth. The rest of the population is dispersed throughout a number of smaller rural settlements. The dispersed nature of the Borough has particular implications for the provision of, and access to, services and facilities, particularly as public transport in limited, and not everyone has access to private transport. The population is predicted to grow from 62,700 in 2017, to 83,561 by 2031. (The projected growth in housing development of 5,280, plus 3,790 equates to 9,070 new homes by 2031. Assuming a minimum of 2.3 persons per household, this potentially equates to 20,861 new people in the Borough, who will need community facilities and services) B.3. Settlements range in size from Atherstone and Mancetter, with a population of 10,000 to small hamlets. Atherstone with Mancetter, Coleshill and Polesworth are the three market towns and are important to the health of the surrounding rural economy as they provide many services and facilities to the surrounding areas.
