locality analysis examines the current and planned supply of specialist housing for older people and the provision and accessibility by foot and public transport of services and amenities within the main conurbations which would support independent living models for older people. The analysis also includes Census data of older population demography and deprivation as part of the evidence base of each area’s needs. It has been prepared by Staffordshire County Council for use by a range of organisations that would benefit from this type of information to inform their own planning processes for specialist housing provision. The analysis is the second of eight such documents which will cover all Staffordshire districts. It is intended that the locality analyses will complement a countywide evidence base of demand for and supply of specialist housing for older people that the Council is publishing on its website under Information for Providers which can be found here: https://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/health/Information-for-providers/Information-for- providers.aspx Information contained within the locality analysis is up to date on the day it’s published but is a snapshot at a point in time and some will be subject to change, such as planning applications and bus times and routes. It should also be noted that it has only been possible to include relevant information that is held by the County Council, has been shared with us by partner agencies for this purpose or is available on public websites. Whilst it is planned to update the documents at regular intervals it is highly recommended that the reader double check that any key information is still valid. 3 How the Locality Analysis has been devised 3.1 Mapping and distances The analysis focuses on five areas of Newcastle district which have been identified as being of potential interest due to their size and importance within the district, their geographical remoteness from the principal areas or their rural isolation, or because of considerations arising from preferred options for housing development in the Joint Local Plan. The areas included are as follows: Newcastle town central - a 2.5km radius from the postcode ST5 1PW which is the location of the Guild Hall in the Market Place. The analysis area includes built up urban areas including May Bank, Cross Heath, Basford, Knutton and the Westlands. Newcastle North (which centres on the Bradwell area) – a 2km radius from the postcode ST5 8JG which lies near to the Bradwell Lane junction with the A34. The analysis area includes residential areas around Beasley, Bradwell, Chesterton and Porthill.

Silverdale village – a 1.5 km radius covering the village itself and care facilities in nearby Knutton Loggerheads – a 1km radius of Loggerheads the post code TF9 4PB which is a central point of the village. Newcastle Borough Council’s Western Urban Extension Area proposals include the Keele University area, with the former Keele Municipal Golf Course identified in the Stoke-on- Trent City Council and Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council Joint Local Plan Preferred Options Consultation Document as a preferred site for 1800 dwellings. However an analysis of the Keele area has not been included because LSOA E01029576 which covers the Keele area does not fall into the first or second highest quintiles for density of an older population or deprivation. Silverdale village, which is adjacent to this area, has been included. The radius of the analysis for each area has been gauged individually, taking into account the size of the town and the location of its facilities, amenities and whether there are other conurbations of importance nearby. Short distances between amenities and bus stops within the town centre have been measured in metres using the manual measuring tools in ArcGIS following the most obvious walking route and are therefore approximations only. Longer distances have been measured in kilometres as the crow flies, and should be considered as rough indications only. When analysing access to facilities on foot assumptions have also been drawn based on guidance from the Department of Transport 20041 regarding walking speeds and also the Staffordshire County Council Local Transport Plan 2011. It doesn’t indicate how long a person in later life can be expected to walk for, but if older people per se are taken into consideration, it suggest the following walking speeds (measured as m/sec): Table 1: Walking speeds for independent older people
