  • Community Profile for Radstock and Westfield
    Community Profile for Radstock and Westfield 1 Contents Page Introduction 3 History 4 Radstock & Westfield Big Local Area Now 4 People 5 Housing 6 Employment 7 Crime 7 Business 7 Transport 8 Schools 8 Community facilities and Groups 9 Volunteers 9 What next for Radstock and Westfield? 10 Big Local Questionnaire results 12 Radstock Youth Partnership Consultation 13 People we haven’t heard from 14 Next steps 14 2 Introduction What is Big Local? Big Local is an exciting opportunity for the residents of Radstock and Westfield to receive an investment of at least £1m over the next 10 years to make a massive and lasting positive difference to their community. It’s about bringing together all the local talent, ambitions, skills and energy from individuals, groups and organisations who want to make their area an even better place to live. The four big outcomes for Big Local are: 1. Communities will be better able to identify local needs and take action in response to them. 2. People will have increased skills and confidence, so that they continue to identify and respond to needs in the future. 3. The community will make a difference to the needs it prioritises. 4. People will feel that their area is an even better place to live. Radstock and Westfield set up a local steering group in 2012, consisting of local people with an active interest in the community and our area and a representative of each of the local parish councils. The steering group has been responsible for driving forward the Big Local programme, involving and engaging with the communities in our area of benefit and putting together the profile.

More details can be found in the site specific proformas. These also set out whether a site is deliverable (within 5 years) or developable (beyond the next 5 years). Those sites that are deliverable / developable feature in the SHLAA trajectory (appendix 2) • For many sites, development would result in a moderate to high landscape, visual or highways impact (i.e. resulting in low to moderate suitability credentials) but this does not necessarily mean they are unsuitable for development (wholly or in part) if suitable master planning, mitigation and highways improvements can be achieved. Where the Councils considers that undeveloped land is critical to the character of Radstock and the Conservation Area or where there a fundamental issues that cannot be overcome, then a ‘nil’ suitability grading is given. • The Placemaking Plan and Development Management process will determine whether a site should be allocated for development or granted planning permission, and those more detailed processes may challenge the assessments that have been for the purposes of strategic plan- making in the Core Strategy Ref Site Name Housing Suitability Availability Potential credentials Confirmed
