Monitoring Report 2008/09 . Foreword Foreword This is the eighth Regional Plan Annual Monitoring Report produced by the East Midlands Regional Assembly as Regional Planning Body (RPB) and monitors polices contained within the East Midlands Regional Plan which was published in March 2009. The Report builds on the partnership working established in the previous rounds of annual monitoring, with much of the technical work undertaken by Intelligence East Midlands, overseen by the Assembly’s Monitoring and Review Advisory Group and other Regional Plan Groups. Monitoring is an integral part of the strategy development, implementation and review cycle and it represents a crucial feedback loop within the process of policy-making. The development of monitoring reports provides a forum to highlight changes in funding allocations, programmes and projects being undertaken in the region. Ultimately the results of these reports should be taken on board and influence future reviews of policy through the development of action plans. As a consequence of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009, the Government will designate the current Regional Plan Partial Review as a review of the new single ‘Regional Strategy’. The new Regional Strategy will initially comprise the extant versions of the Regional Plan (March 2009) and the Regional Economic Strategy prepared by the East Midlands Development Agency (emda). Although details are still being discussed, under the new arrangements the East Midlands Leaders' Board and emda will work more closely in future rounds of monitoring the Regional Strategy. The statutory nature of monitoring will therefore continue to drive the need and justification for the necessary data gathering, its handling and interpretation and there remains a growing demand for robust evidence bases to support the development and delivery of local and regional plans (Local Development Frameworks and the new Single Regional Strategy respectively). The Regional Assembly has supported the concept that the statutory requirement continue, allowing for the monitoring of the future Single Regional Strategies at a regional level and that this should link with local level monitoring activity. In delivering this final Report under the Regional Assembly arrangements I would like to acknowledge the support of the Region's Planning Authorities and wide range of other data providers, not least our own Planning, Housing and Transport team here at Melton Mowbray, whose time and technical expertise have contributed to its successful production. I hope you find this Annual Monitoring Report both informative and interesting to read. Councillor Jim Harker Chairman of the Regional Housing, Planning and Transport Joint Board 4 | Annual Monitoring Report 2008/09 . Executive Summary Executive Summary Executive Summary This report presents the 2008/09 Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) for the East Midlands. The AMR is of crucial importance to the future of regional planning. As the Regional Plan is implemented, it is only through monitoring and analysis of performance at the local level, through documents such as Local Development Frameworks, that an assessment can be made as to the degree to which the spatial strategy and its polices have been realised. This year's AMR monitors policies contained within the East Midlands Regional Plan (Regional Spatial Strategy) published in March 2009. 'The Credit Crunch' Traditionally, the AMR has presented data in the reporting year with only passing reference to information relevant to the current year. There are many reasons for this; not least that accurate data for most topics is not available in the current year. However, with the credit crunch continuing to impact upon the East Midlands and the UK, for a second year more up to date data has been included in the economy and housing sections as leading indicators, for example quarterly dwelling completions presented by Communities and Local Government starts and completions data set. EMRA cdpvision The Regional Monitoring system EMRA cdpvision went live on 8 August 2007. Districts, counties and unitary authorities have now entered three sets of monitoring returns from 2006/07 to 2008/09 through the system via the Internet, which also allowed access to previous data and reports. The Assembly continues to work with CDPSoft to ensure the system is further developed as far as possible to meet the full recommended specification and to take account of new regional requirements such as joint policy making and monitoring between groups of local authorities. CDPSoft have also recently completed work on a public website enabling anyone to view previous returns and run reports held on EMRA cdpvision.

  • Leicestershire Sustainable Community Strategy
    LEICESTERSHIRE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY STRATEGY FINAL DRAFT MARCH 2008 1 Introduction I am pleased to present our Sustainable Community Strategy to you on behalf of Leicestershire Together, the Local Strategic Partnership for Leicestershire. Leicestershire Together includes all of the organisations and partnerships that deliver public services in Leicestershire, and we seek to improve the quality of life and of public services in the County. This draft Sustainable Community Strategy proposes priorities for improvement in Leicestershire over the next 5 years. These are largely based upon two draft evidence base reports ‘This is Leicestershire’ and ‘Places in Leicestershire’. The structure of the new Sustainable Community Strategy is quite different to that of the previous Community Strategy in that it focuses on what we are going to do rather than how we are going to do it. Our second Local Area Agreement (LAA2) is the key delivery framework for the strategy (the ‘how’ bit) – and more details on the LAA can be found later in this document. The challenge that faces us now is to deliver the ambitions outlined in this Strategy, making a real and measurable difference to the lives of Leicestershire people. David Parsons Chair, Leicestershire Together Contact details: Telephone: 0116 305 6977/8137 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.leicestershiretogether.org Write to us: Policy Team, Chief Executives Department, Leicestershire County Council, County Hall, Glenfield, Leicestershire LE3 8RA 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Leicestershire Together Leicestershire Together is the Local Strategic Partnership for Leicestershire and includes all of the organisations and partnerships that deliver public services in the County. Our aim is to improve the quality of life for the people of Leicestershire and make Leicestershire the best possible place to live and work for everyone.

Introduction to the Economic Assessment 1.2 The Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 places a duty on county councils and unitary district councils to prepare an assessment of the economic conditions of their area. This new duty comes into force on 1st April 2010, at which point local authorities must begin to prepare their assessments. The purpose of the Economic Assessment (EA) is to provide a robust evidence base that will underpin strategic planning, investment decisions and delivery plans. 1.3 The Leicester and Leicestershire Leadership Board made a decision to develop a sub-regional EA in 2009, in advance of the statutory requirement. It was also agreed that a single EA be developed to cover Leicester City and Leicestershire County. 1.4 A dedicated EA project team has gathered, analysed and interpreted a vast amount of evidence over the past few months. This has come from a wide range of sources including national statistics, local statistics and bespoke research studies undertaken within the sub- region.

  • Planning Policy
    Chapter 7: LVI Appendix 7.2: Planning Policy APPENDIX 7.2: PLANNING POLICY National Planning Policy National Planning Policy Framework (February 2019)i 7.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), revised in July 2018 and with minor clarifications made in February 2019, promotes a presumption in favour of sustainable development, defined as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”, and providing it is in accordance with the relevant up-to-date Local Plan, and policies set out in the NPPF including those identifying restrictions with regard to designated areas, such as National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Green Belt. 7.2 Paragraph 9 notes that planning policies and decisions should take local circumstances into account to reflect the character, needs and opportunities of each area. 7.3 Paragraph 38 refers to Decision making and states that: “Local planning authorities should approach decisions on proposed development in a positive and creative way. They should use the full range of planning tools available, including brownfield registers and permission in principle, and work proactively with applicants to secure developments that will improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area. Decision-makers at every level should seek to approve applications for sustainable development where possible.” 7.4 NPPF Paragraphs 124 – 132 focus on achieving well-designed spaces and seek to promote good design in the built environment. Planning policies and decisions should ensure that developments: i. will function well and add to the overall quality of the area, not just for the short term but over the lifetime of the development; ii.

It puts forward a strategic growth scenario for the town and will function as a background document to inform the preparation of Bassetlaw District Council’s Local Development Framework. Capacity of the Town to Accommodate Growth Harworth Bircotes has significant physical capacity to accommodate growth in the short, medium and long term. An analysis of the existing conditions and prospects indicates the follows: - i Geography & Connections – located in the administrative area of Bassetlaw in North Nottinghamshire, the town is historically associated with the coal mining industry and Harworth colliery dominates the south side of the settlement. Scrooby Road acts as a retail centre with the residential neighbourhoods to the north and the main employment areas beyond these or to the south of the colliery. The town has good road accessibility to the A1(M) and no railway station although an existing now disused rail spur exists which previously served the colliery.

  • Agenda Item 5
    1 Agenda Item 5 COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING – 22ND MARCH 2017 POSITION STATEMENT FROM THE LEADER OF THE COUNCIL Midlands Engine/Midlands Connect Yesterday I had the opportunity to meet with Rt Hon Sajid Javid, the Communities Secretary and Midlands Engine Ministerial Champion and told him that as a member of the Midlands Engine Board and the Midlands Connect Board I welcome the recent Strategy and proposed investment of £392million announced by the Chancellor. This investment is in addition to the £1.5billion of Local Growth Fund investments in the Midlands that has already been announced. The Midlands, and in particular the East Midlands, has been at the forefront of the recent increase in economic growth and this new investment will enable us to create even more jobs and enhance growth by investing in infrastructure and helping people to acquire the necessary skills to enter the labour market and take advantage of the new opportunities on offer. The Midlands Connect Strategy sets out proposals for improving connectivity between the East and West Midlands and also between the Midlands and the rest of the country. It is particularly pleasing to see that the early priorities include proposals that I believe will have significant benefits for Leicestershire and the City of Leicester. A list of some of the proposals is at the back of this Statement. Over the next 3 years Midlands Connect will use £17million of Government funding to undertake planning and design work on these early priorities. The delivery of these projects will depend on further Government funding and I will ensure that this Council works with its Midlands Connect partners to secure the investment so that we can fulfil the economic potential.
