This Needs Assessment will outline some of the key information about the drivers of poverty in Doncaster, identify areas where Doncaster significantly deviated from national comparators and some of the impacts of poverty. The findings of this needs assessment should inform the composition of an ‘Anti-Poverty’ strategy and help to inform service delivery decisions across the partnership. 1.2 The inter-relationships across many parts of people’s lives mean that poverty is a complex problem; there are no easy fixes. Although poverty has been a long standing issue across many towns and places across the country, there does seem to be an issue of people who are in work but with low incomes who are struggling to pay for food, fuel or other items we may take for granted. Although this paper may help to make sense of parts of the poverty problem across Doncaster, inevitably there will be other data, research and opinion that will be needed to support the work of the partnership. 3 Section 2: Deprivation 2.1 Deprivation has been measured using a number of different methods, but the latest set of informatics is derived from the Census 2011. The data shows a similar pattern to previous data, with areas within the main urban core showing higher levels of deprivation, along with some of the settlements that surround the core - many of which are former mining areas. 2.2 Figure 1 below shows the areas of Doncaster and their levels of deprivation, based on the 2011 Census. The deprivation measure uses employment, education, health and housing measures to give an overall ‘score’ for how deprived an area is. It is clear there are some clusters across Doncaster, but also some communities where there are wide variations of deprivation in close proximity. This highlights the inequalities across the borough. Two particular areas of Doncaster have been in the most deprived 1% nationally in previous assessments: Denaby Main in the west; and Balby Bridge in the central area. Moorends Askern Carcroft Adwick Le Stainforth Street Intake Mexborough New Rossington Denaby Main Balby Town Centre & Balby Bridge Figure 1: Map to show deprivation across Doncaster, 20111 1 Census 2011 deprivation measure composed of ; 1. Employment: any member of a household not a full-time student is either unemployed or long-term sick. 2. Education: no person in the household has at least L2 education, and no person aged 16-18 is a full-time student. 3. Health and disability: any person in the household has general health ‘bad or very bad’ or has a long term health problem. 4. Housing: Household's accommodation is either overcrowded, with an occupancy rating -1 or less, or is in a shared dwelling, or has no central heating. 4 Section 3: Labour Market & Worklessness 3.1 Doncaster is the second largest economy in the Sheffield City Region. Key transformational projects are planned to increase the number of jobs and unlock development land. However, there are a number of inter-related issues that need to be tackled to develop a more balanced and resilient economy. The Local Economic Assessment identifies2 Doncaster’s key Labour Market challenges: Employment Rate: Increasing but the gap with regional averages is only narrowing slowly. Doncaster’s females are less likely to work than others in the region. Wage Rates: Weekly earnings are over 10% lower than the UK average. Youth Unemployment: Youth unemployment is falling faster than the overall unemployment rate, but a remains a challenge Working Age Population: Since 2001, the working age population has grown in line with national averages, but decreases in the 5-9 & 10-14 age ranges may adversely affect the number of workers available locally in the medium term, along with an increasingly ageing population. 3.2 The employment rate in Doncaster has lagged behind our comparator benchmarks over a number of years, but these gaps have been wider in 2012 and 2013 than in other years. The 2013 figure did show a bounce back with an increase in the employment rate but the gap remains; if Doncaster was to equal the Yorkshire and Humber rate there would be 6000 more people employed in Doncaster. 74 72 70 68 66 % of Working Age Population 64 62 Q1 2008 Q4 2012 Q2 2008 Q3 2008 Q4 2008 Q1 2009 Q2 2009 Q3 2009 Q4 2009 Q1 2010 Q2 2010 Q3 2010 Q4 2010 Q1 2011 Q2 2011 Q3 2011 Q4 2011 Q1 2012 Q2 2012 Q3 2012 Q1 2013 Q2 2013 Q3 2013 Doncaster England Yorkshire & Humber CIPFA neighbours Sheffield City Region (SCR) Figure 2: Employment Rate 2008-20133 2http://www.doncaster.gov.uk/sections/business/economyandenterprise/Local_Economic_Assessment_for_Doncaster.a spx 3 Annual Population Survey (2008-2013), Nomis 5 Unemployment4 3.3 Unemployed people form a small percentage of the population; the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has developed a statistical model that provides estimates of total unemployed for unitary authorities and local authority districts. The unemployment rate measures people who are unemployed as a percentage of the economically active population. Unemployment is higher in Doncaster than the average rates for Yorkshire & Humber, CIPFA5 neighbours, Sheffield City Region and England. A reduction to the regional levels would approximate to 1250 less people unemployed in Doncaster.

It is commonly used as a proxy measure for joblessness. The number of working age JSA claimants in Doncaster continues to reduce. After a significant rise following the economic downturn in 2008/9 to a peak in February 2012 of 11,000 people, or 5.8% of the working age population, it has reduced to 8,000 in April 2014, approximately 4.2% of the working age population. 3.5 These reductions are positive for Doncaster but the gap between Doncaster and the comparator benchmarks has not closed with other areas seeing similar reductions (shown in figure 4). Doncaster would need to reduce the number of JSA claimants by 1115 to equal regional rates of JSA. 4 Refers to people without a job who were available to start work in the two weeks following their jobcentre interview and who had either looked for work in the four weeks prior to interview or were waiting to start a job they had already obtained. 5 CIPFA Neighbours: Rotherham, Barnsley, Wigan, Wakefield, Dudley, Tameside, Bolton, Sunderland, Dudley, Walsall, Oldham, Gateshead, Wirral, Sefton, Rochdale, Tameside, Stockport 6 Annual Population Survey, Unemployment Rates, NOMIS 7 JSA claimant count records the number of people claiming Jobseekers Allowance (JSA) and National Insurance credits.

Claimant figures for the 18-24 year old age group show a reduction of 32% between April 2013 and April 2014. This reduction is better than the England, Yorkshire & Humber, Sheffield City Region and our CIPFA comparator authorities’ average reductions. However this age group still accounts for 27.5% of working age claimants in Doncaster and is a significant challenge to the local economy and to local services. Although similar to the regional average, there are nearly 400 young people aged 18-24 that have been claiming JSA for over 12 months. There are more young people who have just started claiming JSA (Under 6 months) in Doncaster than regional and national average, with 5.5% of the population in this category for Doncaster compared to 3.6 and 3.0% for the regional and national figure respectively.

    Settlement Profiles

    Settlement Profiles Local Plan Evidence Base www.doncaster.gov.uk Doncaster Settlement Profiles 1.1. As part of the emerging Local Plan, a Settlement Audit was undertaken in 2014 to better understand the service provision across the borough, which in turn helped to determine the Local Plan Settlement Hierarchy. This process is dealt with at length in both the Settlement Audit and the Settlement Background Paper. 1.2. However, some consultation responses to the Settlement Audit and the Homes and Settlements consultation intimated that the Settlement Audit could be further expanded on and clarified. 1.3. As such, the following profiles have been developed which seeks to provide portraits of each defined settlement within the borough (the Main Urban Area; 7 Main Towns; 10 Service Towns and Villages; and 12 Defined Villages). 1.4. Each portrait will expand on the results of the Settlement Audit, and will provide ‘profiles’ for each settlement, dealing with social, economic and environmental matters, as per the Settlement Audit. 1.5. Occasionally, some scores or information published in the Settlement Audit Update (2017) have been amended. These amendments and the rationale are presented overleaf in Table A. 1.6. Information about the Settlement Hierarchy and allocations within each settlement are provided in the Settlement Background Paper and Site Selection Methodology.

  • Doncaster Historic Designed Landscapes Project Campsmount Park

    Doncaster Historic Designed Landscapes Project Campsmount Park

    YORKSHIRE GARDENS TRUST Doncaster Historic Designed Landscapes Project Campsmount Park Report by Mary Ratcliffe [April 2019] 1. CORE DATA 1.1 Name of site: Campsmount Park 1.2 Grid reference: SE 538 140 1.3 Administrative area: Norton Civil Parish, South Yorkshire County (modern), West Riding of Yorkshire County (historic) 1.4 Current site designation: Not on Historic England’s Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest 2. SUMMARY OF HISTORIC INTEREST The landscape of Campsmount Park reflects the continued ownership by the Yarborough family from the 17th century to the 1930s. Thomas Yarborough (1687-1772) masterminded the development of Campsmount Park. With a strong interest in contemporary landscape design, in the early-to-mid 1700s Thomas Yarborough commissioned woodland walks, tree planting, a summer house and a walled garden on the slopes to the north of his existing house, Brayton Hall. In the 1750s he completed his revised estate with the construction of his new house, Campsmount, designed by Robert Carr, and Campsmount (Home) Farm, designed by his son, John Carr. Brayton Hall was demolished. George Cooke-Yarborough, a successor in the early 19th century, made some changes to Campsmount and commissioned a new landscape plan from John Webb of Staffordshire. However, little of the plan was effected apart from the enlargement of five existing fish ponds to form one much larger fish pond. Although minor amendments were made to the walled garden and pleasure grounds in the late 19th century, the landscape design remained mostly unaltered until the mid-20th century. Campsmount, the summer house and contents of the walled garden were demolished in the 1950s.

    New-Build Housing, Mobility and the Life Course a Study of Housing-Driven Economic Growth Strategy in Doncaster

    New-build housing, mobility and the life course A study of housing-driven economic growth strategy in Doncaster By: Amy Clare Beckett A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Urban Studies and Planning 2018 Supervised by Dr Nicola Dempsey and Professor Ed Ferrari Abstract By implementing housing strategies which focus improving provision for more affluent groups, policymakers may hope to alter the demographic mix of a locality with the aim of stimulating economic growth to compete more effectively in a globalised world. This thesis examines the potential role of high-end new-build housing as part of a ‘bootstraps’ (Eisenschitz and Gough, 1993) local economic growth strategy in the context of ‘austerity urbanism’ (Peck, 2012). To explore these issues, the thesis employs a mixed-method, biographical approach to examine inward and internal migration into new-build homes in Doncaster, a post-industrial metropolitan borough in South Yorkshire. In doing so, the research provides a story of Doncaster, its neighbourhoods and its residents, exploring the ways in which individual, shared and collective narratives combine to influence household needs and preferences, and ultimately mobility outcomes. The empirical findings of this research suggest that targeted high-end new-build housing is insufficient as a policy mechanism to attract the substantial inward migration of middle-to-high income groups in Doncaster. Here, the potential economic benefit associated with a housing-based urban competition strategy appears not to have been met in empirical outcomes. In addition, whilst new-build housing provided a welcome addition to local market for more affluent existing residents and newcomers, findings suggest a policy focus on more affluent groups has the potential to exacerbate local spatial inequalities and threaten social cohesion by creating new opportunities for the segregation of more affluent groups.
