201 EASTLEIGH BOROUGH COUNCIL Minutes of a Meeting of the Council Held at the Civic Offices, Leigh Road, Eastleigh on Thursday 201 EASTLEIGH BOROUGH COUNCIL Minutes of a meeting of the Council held at the Civic Offices, Leigh Road, Eastleigh on Thursday, 21 October 2010 at 7:00 pm PRESENT: The Mayor, Councillor Caldwell (Chairman); Councillors Airey, Bloom, A Broadhurst, Mrs Broadhurst, Clarke, Cross, Day, Mrs Fraser, Goodall, Grajewski, Holden-Brown, Holes, House, Mrs Hughes, M Hughes, Ingram, Kyrle, McNulty, Mignot, Norgate, Noyce, Olson, O'Sullivan, Scott, G Smith, R Smith, Sollitt, Tennent, Thornton, Wall, Mrs Welsh and Wright Apologies for absence were received from Councillors Broughton, Craig, Davies-Dear, Hughes, Irish, Moore, Pretty, Roling, Mrs Sollitt, Thomas and Winstanley 335. MAYOR'S ANNOUNCEMENTS The Mayor advised that he had the pleasure of welcoming the Queen to the Borough when she arrived at Eastleigh Airport, on her way to the Queen Elizabeth naming ceremony at Southampton docks. The Mayor then congratulated Laura Edwards from Dynamo School of Gymnastics in Hamble, who helped the England Team win a silver medal at the recent Commonwealth Games. The Mayor also congratulated the Council’s Head of Culture, Cheryl Butler who would be receiving an Honorary Fellowship from the University of Winchester at a ceremony on 22 October. 336. MINUTES RESOLVED - That the Minutes of the meeting held on 22 July 2010 be agreed as a correct record. 337. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST Councillor Scott declared a personal and prejudicial interest in agenda item 8(o) (Minutes - Bishopstoke, Fair Oak and Horton Heath Local Area Committee on 13 October 2010). The planning application at that meeting was for land in his ownership. 338. RECOMMENDATIONS (INCLUDING CALL-INS) REQUIRING DECISION Consideration was given to the following Minutes: (a) Cabinet - 9 September 2010 Annual Report on Treasury Management 2009/10 (Minute 205) CIP Strategy Review and Schemes Approval (Minute 206) 202 (b) Eastleigh Local Area Committee - 27 July 2010 Review of Eastleigh Borough Council (Eastleigh Town Centre) Alcohol Consumption in Designated Public Places Order, 2009 (Minute 291) (c) Cabinet - 14 October 2010 It was noted that there were no recommendations from this meeting. RESOLVED - That the recommendations contained in Minutes 205, 206 and 291 be agreed. 339. REVIEW OF THE MEMBERS' ALLOWANCES SCHEME Consideration was given to a report of the Head of Legal and Democratic Services concerning a review of the Members’ Allowance Scheme by the Independent Review Panel. The Panel, consisting of Helen Cleare, Senior HR Consultant at RSM Tenon, Michael Knott, JP and Rose Morton, Chief Executive of Eastleigh Citizens Advice Bureau, produced an interim report for the Council meeting on 22 July 2010 as the Cabinet had made a recommendation to the Council to freeze Members Allowances for two years, subject to the Panel’s recommendations. This proposal was agreed by the Council along with a second resolution to not pay the element of the basic allowance (£300) which was held back until the completion of three training sessions, in the years 2011/12 and 2012/13 to make a contribution to the Council’s budget savings. The Independent Review Panel took into account the current economic climate, proposals announced by the new Government and the decision by the Council to freeze Members allowances for two years. In accepting this, the Panel felt the current scheme largely remained relevant and acceptable but that it should be reviewed in 12 to 18 months to allow consideration of changes to the Council’s committees and again after the two year pay freeze. RESOLVED - (1) That the recommendations in the report from the Independent Panel on Members’ Allowances be agreed, subject to a future Panel being convened as and when required; (2) That these form an updated Scheme of Allowances and that this be applied retrospectively to 1 October 2010; and 203 (3) That the agreed recommendations be drawn together by officers into an updated Scheme of Allowances booklet; and (4) That officers be authorised to make any necessary changes to the Council’s Constitution. 340. CABINET STATEMENTS Councillor Airey, Cabinet Member for Transport and Streetscene, advised that at the last Environment Scrutiny Panel meeting there was considerable discussion with those bus operators present about the future of the Bus Service Operators Grant. This was paid by Government as a fuel rebate and was worth a considerable amount of money to the industry. In the Spending Review statement the previous day there was reference to grants to bus operators. The Government had decided on a 20% reduction over 3 years beginning in April 2012. The decision was much better than either hoped for or expected and to some extent reflected the success of the very considerable lobbying by the industry, MPs and Councils – including Eastleigh. Councillor Bloom, Cabinet Member for Environment, informed Members on sustainability issues. First, the 10:10 project held a special day of activities on 10 October 2010. Eastleigh was one of the 10:10 launch councils which aimed to reduce CO2 by 10% by the end of 2010. Eastleigh was well on the way to achieving this target as energy consumption was down in key buildings, depot miles were down, and corporate miles were dramatically down as use of the car pool was proving so popular and a third car was about to be added to the pool, and flights were down by 73%. To mark the 10.10.10 day, a film show was held at The Point and Councillor Bloom thanked Jane Altounyan for all her hard work. Councillor Bloom attended the Eastleigh Transition Network AGM and advised that the group was proving very successful. A Chandler’s Ford group had been set up and it was hoped that a Hedge End Group would soon follow. With regards to Fair Trade, Councillor Bloom informed Members that this was working well in the borough. However, proposals to set up a Hampshire-wide Fair Trade network had stalled following a decision by Hampshire County Council not to support the network due to concerns of impact on Hampshire farmers. Finally, Councillor Bloom requested that Members encourage the public to recycle their Halloween pumpkins in the brown bins. Participation in the brown bin scheme was at 43% and overall recycling was at 47%, aiming for 50% by the end of the year. Glass recycling participation was up to 86%, however there was another 14% to target. In response to a question from Councillor Sollitt regarding the use of brown bins by new households, particularly with regards to the South Street development, Councillor Bloom advised that the Council had made use of a Government job scheme which provided young people to go door to door and talk to residents about recycling. This had proved successful and would continue during the autumn. 204 Councillor Wall, Cabinet Member for Business and Skills, advised that local residents throughout the ‘SO’ postcode area could now access an ethical savings and low cost loans service from Solent Credit Union, following a merger between Eastleigh and Solent Credit Unions. This was a not for profit organisation that provided savings and loan schemes to around 750 members who benefitted from a wide range of services. Supported by Southampton City Council, Eastleigh Borough Council, First Wessex Housing and the Department of Work and Pensions, the organisation aimed to use resources from a new office in Southampton to support members by providing a five day a week enquiry and processing service in the near future. A drop-in at the Eastleigh Town Centre offices would also be available on Saturdays between 10am and 12noon, and existing members would be able to pay in their savings or loan repayments at the cash desk. Further details were available at www.solentcreditunion.co.uk. Councillor Wall then informed Members that as part of its work programme, Prosperity Scrutiny Panel had listed a number of issues to focus on including improving employment skills. The Council was aiming to target this area by developing an integrated employment and advice centre. This ‘hub’ for service providers would promote sharing of resources and expertise and reduce duplication. It would also provide a focus for training and employment advice services, a permanent base where people could go for advice and help and provide a venue for community based training and development to be used by different agencies. This had been discussed with local agencies, Barton Peveril and Eastleigh Colleges, First Wessex, Hampshire County Council Adult Learning Services, Wheatsheaf Trust and other members of the Community Learning Partnership, and met with a very positive response but further work had been hampered by the lack of a suitable, affordable venue. A venue was close to being secured and funding for this was available over the next 3 years through of the use of existing Section 106 contributions, the criteria for which is use “in respect of training and employment, to include the provision of new employment workspace.” £73,000 of this funding was agreed by Cabinet in March 2009 to provide help to individuals facing redundancy or made redundant for re-training, job search and interview skills, providing tailored long term support and continuity to people who needed assistance to gain employment. Currently approximately £50,000 of this fund was unallocated. Although this would not last indefinitely it was hoped to raise further Section 106 contributions for training and employment, in line with the Policy Framework being agreed by PUSH, thus helping to ensure the long term sustainability for this project. There was also the possibility of some capital costs for fitting out the centre and for equipment and resources and would be resourced either from the £50,000 Section 106 funding or from grants available from UK Online or other external funding sources. Councillor Broadhurst, Cabinet Member for Leisure, advised that as a result of £80,000 invested from the CIP, Itchen Valley Country Park High Hill play area had been almost completely renewed in recent weeks, and it 205 now had a completely new look, and featured a climbing rock and nets, tunnels, new swings and other equipment which was already proving very popular with visitors.

  • South Downs National Park Viticulture Growth Impact Assessment
    South Downs National Park Viticulture Growth Impact Assessment By Vinescapes April 2021 SDNP Viticulture Growth Impact Assessment 1 Final report V1.6. Vinescapes Dorking, Surrey, RH5 6QW, UK Email: [email protected] Web: vinescapes.com SDNP Viticulture Growth Impact Assessment 2 Foreword This is the first growth impact assessment conducted on viticulture and wine production in a protected landscape that has ever been carried out in this country. The South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) commissioned the research from the consultants Vinescapes as we needed to understand the impact of the rapid increase in viticulture and associated wine production on our cherished landscape. The scale of this growth is indeed impressive with a 90% increase in vineyard coverage in the South Downs National Park (SDNP) since 2016 with approximately five new vineyards planted every year. The scale of this recent growth is, however, dwarfed by potential future growth. Almost a third of farmland in the SDNP, covering almost 40,000 hectares of land, is considered suitable for viticulture if current trends of temperature increases caused by climate change are realised. The SDNP benefits from the highest level of landscape protection in the country. It has two statutory purposes to, firstly, conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the area and, secondly, promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the National Park by the public. The National Park Authority also has a duty when carrying out the purposes to seek to foster the economic and social well-being of the local communities within the National Park.

The aim of this project is to create a database exploiting the geographical variation in publicly available data, in order to better control for regional heterogeneity. The database covers the period 1995 to 2007, and includes regional identifiers at the postcode district, Local Authority, NUTS3 and Travel-To- Work Area levels of aggregation. Roughly 160 controls are available to the researcher. This data could be used to provide new insights for Regional Policy Analysis. An example of an application of this resource in the context of unemployment duration can be found in (Ball and Wilke, 2009) for the UK. Keywords: Regional data, Great Britain, Overlapping regional entities, Regional het- erogeneity. ∗This work is supported by the Economic and Social Research Council through the grant Bounds for Competing Risks Duration Models using Administrative Unemployment Duration Data (RES-061-25-0059). yUniversity of Nottingham, E{mail: [email protected] 0.1 Preface Contents 0.1 Preface . i 1 Introduction 1 2 Level of Aggregation of Interest & Main Data Sources. 2 3 Linking the Regional levels 3 3.1 National Statistics Postcode Directory. 3 3.2 Overlapping Regions Problem .

  • HS2 Consultation
    High Speed 2 HS2 Consultation Supplementary Analysis V1-5 In House Analytical Consultancy 21 February 2012 HS2 Consultation Supplementary Analysis Foreword Foreword by the Department for Transport Purpose of this Analysis The 2011 consultation on high speed rail was one of the largest consultations ever undertaken by the Department for Transport. It attracted almost 55,000 responses. A full and detailed analysis of these responses was undertaken by an independent response analysis company, Dialogue by Design (DbyD), whose November 2011 Consultation Summary Report is available on the DfT website at http://www.dft.gov.uk/publications/hs2-consultation-summary/. DfT decided to commission supplementary analysis of the consultation responses from its In House Analytical Consultancy. This analysis focuses on looking at the difference in responses from people in different areas in the country or from different groups. There were two main reasons why it was felt that supplementary analysis covering these areas would be useful. Firstly, the results of a peer review of DbyD’s analysis suggested that more geographical analysis of responses would be desirable. The peer review, carried out by The Consultation Institute (TCI), stated in its conclusions that DbyD “could have done more to provide a geographical breakdown of respondents, and to explain how the views of people in different parts of the country differed”. TCI’s full report is available on the HS2 Ltd website. Secondly, following the consultation there has been interest from the public, media and other groups in the geographical spread of respondents and how views differed across the country, as well as the views of various groupings of respondents on key issues.

But this is not some romantic attachment to the patterns of our past. Localism holds the key to economic, social and political success in the future.” David Cameron, Foreword to Control Shift: Returning Power to Local Communities “Local authorities need to recognise that just because regional targets have gone, the housing need has not.” David Orr, chief executive of National Housing Federation Localism and national planning guidance One of the foremost areas of change since the coalition attained power in May has been the planning system, where regional targets have been earmarked for replacement with a locally driven set of figures, with local authorities to be given the power to set their own levels of house building. As part of this move towards locally driven housing targets and planning, Winchester City Council has launched a public consultation on a local plan set to replace what was the emerging Core Strategy. The resulting exercise, labelled Blueprint, will help inform the development of the Local Development Framework; Community Strategy; Vision for Winchester; and Winchester Town Access Plan.
