INTRODUCTION 1.1 This is the third Annual Monitoring Report for Birmingham produced under the provisions of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. 1.2 The aim of the Annual Monitoring Report is to provide a succinct digest of key statistical information relevant to the assessment of the impact of development planning policies in Birmingham. The report is structured as follows: • Section 2 sets the scene, by providing some general contextual information in relation to Birmingham’s population, environment, economy, housing, transport links and neighbourhoods. • Section 3 reports on the key development planning output indicators. Its focus is on the nationally defined Core Output Indicators – but it also includes a small number of locally defined indicators reflecting local priorities. • Section 4 assesses progress in delivering the Core Strategic policies of the Birmingham UDP 2005. The City Council resolved to adopt this plan on 11 October 2005, and currently it is the only document in the Birmingham Local Development Framework. • Section 5 reviews progress in implementing Birmingham’s Local Development Scheme (LDS). 1.3 In the first Annual Monitoring Report it was noted that there are a small number of national indicators in relation to which there is currently no adequate or consistent data to enable meaningful statistics to be produced. Some progress has been made in filling these gaps (e.g. in relation to biodiversity) and attempts will continue to be made to establish effective monitoring of these indicators in future Monitoring Reports. The potential for identifying additional local indicators will also be kept under review. 1.4 Some broad conclusions can be drawn from the monitoring data: • Levels of new house building in Birmingham fell from last year, but they are well above current UDP and RSS targets. There are no indications of land supply constraints that could prevent this continuing. However, the city’s housing requirement is likely to increase as a result of the ongoing phase 2 revision of the RSS. • Levels of employment development have increased from the previous year. The overall supply of industrial land has decreased from the previous year, with ‘readily available’ supply below UDP and RSS targets, 5 Birmingham Local Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2007 however the ‘not readily available’ supply is strong. • Overwhelmingly, new development in Birmingham is on brownfield sites. • Almost all new housing development is in locations with good public transport access to employment and essential local services. • The City Centre continues to attract new investment to strengthen its role. • The majority of new retail and office development is taking place is in or edge-of-centre locations. Completions have increased significantly from the previous year with a healthy development pipeline. • Good progress is being made in delivering most of the core strategic policies of the UDP. • Progress in implementing the Local Development Scheme (LDS) has been variable. Nine Supplementary Planning Documents have now been adopted, and it is expected that the Statement of Community Involvement and several other SPDs will be adopted in early 2008. However there have been significant delays in the preparation of a number of Area Action Plans and other DPDs. The LDS will be reviewed in early 2008 to address this, and to take account of newly emerging priorities. 6 Birmingham Local Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2007 2. CONTEXTUAL SUMMARY 2.1 Population 2.1.1 The Office for National Statistics estimates that Birmingham’s population in 2006 was about 1.006 million. The City extends to 26,777 hectares (267.8 square kilometres), of which about 15,200 hectares are residential. The overall population density of 37.4 persons per hectare is much greater than the English average of 3.85. 2.1.2 Table 2.1 compares the age profiles of Birmingham and England as a whole. The City has a relatively youthful population. About 45% of residents are younger than 30, compared with the England average of 37%. In contrast, only 34% of the city’s residents are older than 45, compared with the national average of about 40%. Table 2.1 – Age Profile of Resident Population of Birmingham and England, 2006 Age Group (Years) % of population Birmingham England 0 –14 20.7 17.7 15-29 24.6 19.6 30-44 21.1 22.1 45-59 16.0 19.3 60-74 11.0 13.5 75 & Older 6.7 7.7 Source: Mid Year Population Estimates, ONS, © Crown Copyright, 2007. 2.1.3 Between 1991 and 2001, Birmingham’s population drifted downwards. There were many more births than deaths, but this gain was more than offset by net out-migration, mainly to other parts of the West Midlands Region. Since 2001, the City’s population has grown, and by 2005 had regained the million mark. In contrast, the regional and national populations have grown consistently, as shown in Table 2.2. Table 2.3 provides more detail of recent population changes. The gains partly result from a growing natural increase due to more births and fewer deaths. The other contributor has been generally higher levels of international immigration since 2001. The long- standing trend of net out-migration to the rest of the regions and other parts of the UK has continued but at a lower level since 2004. As data sources about international migration, are far from comprehensive or reliable, the population estimates should be regarded with some caution. 7 Birmingham Local Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2007 Table 2.2 – Population in Birmingham, the West Midlands Region and England, 1991 – 2006 1991 2001 2006 Area Population (thousands) Birmingham 1,004.5 984.6 1,006.5 West Midlands Region 5,229.7 5,280.7 5,366.7 England 47,875.0 49,447.7 50,762.9 % change since 1991 Birmingham -2.0% +0.2% West Midlands Region +1.0% +2.6% England +3.3% +6.0% Source: Mid Year Population Estimates, ONS, © Crown Copyright, 2007.

Notes: Figures may not add to totals due to rounding to nearest hundred. 2.1.4 Despite the reduction in population between 1991 and 2001, Table 2.4 shows that the number of households in Birmingham increased. The number of one-person households increased by nearly 14,000, while there was a reduction of 7,000 in other households. There is doubt over the precise change because of technical differences between the Censuses.

Table 2.5 summarises the proportion of the main ethnic groups present. Just over 10% are Pakistani, with the next largest groups being Indian and Black Caribbean. Between 1991 and 2001, the Black & Minority Ethnic (BME) population increased, particularly in the Pakistani and Bangladeshi groups. BME groups are mainly concentrated in the inner parts of the City. There are differences between groups in housing, the labour market, health and age structure.

  • Erdington Abbey 1850-1876-2001
    Erdington Abbey 1850-1876-2001 Michael Hodgetts Benedictine History Symposium 2001 ERDINGTON ABBEY, 1850-1876-2001 Michael Hodgetts From 1876 until 1922, the arch-abbey of Beuron in Württemberg had a daughter-house in England at Erdington, four and a half miles north-east of Birmingham. The parish is still universally known as ‘the Abbey’, although it has been served by Redemptorists since 1922 and the claustral buildings were sold to a local school in 1994. The church itself celebrated its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary on 11 June last year: it was built by a wealthy Tractarian convert, Daniel Henry Haigh, on whose retirement in 1876 it was taken over by the Benedictines from Beuron. My parents were married there in 1934, and I have known it since 1942. So I was delighted when Abbot Scott asked me to mark the anniversary by a contribution to this Symposium. Until the 19th century, Erdington was merely a hamlet in the huge medieval parish of Aston, which included all the countryside between Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield, seven miles to the north-east and for several miles to the east as well. There had been recusant gentry within three or four miles, but not in Erdington itself. About 1690 Andrew Bromwich established a Masshouse at (Old) Oscott, now known as Maryvale, three miles north-west, in Handsworth parish, which, like Erdington, is now a suburb of Birmingham. Even in 1767, however, only two Papists were reported in the whole of Aston parish, though in Sutton Coldfield there were thirty, and in Birmingham and Edg-baston, on the far side of it, there were well over three hundred.

  • Soho Depicted: Prints, Drawings and Watercolours of Matthew Boulton, His Manufactory and Estate, 1760-1809
    SOHO DEPICTED: PRINTS, DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS OF MATTHEW BOULTON, HIS MANUFACTORY AND ESTATE, 1760-1809 by VALERIE ANN LOGGIE A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History of Art College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham January 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis explores the ways in which the industrialist Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) used images of his manufactory and of himself to help develop what would now be considered a ‘brand’. The argument draws heavily on archival research into the commissioning process, authorship and reception of these depictions. Such information is rarely available when studying prints and allows consideration of these images in a new light but also contributes to a wider debate on British eighteenth-century print culture. The first chapter argues that Boulton used images to convey messages about the output of his businesses, to draw together a diverse range of products and associate them with one site. Chapter two explores the setting of the manufactory and the surrounding estate, outlining Boulton’s motivation for creating the parkland and considering the ways in which it was depicted.
