5: Health & Wellbeing
As noted, the Scenarios with average to high levels of new development will put pressure on existing facilities. Planned housing growth over coming years will put a strain on the existing infrastructure and any impact upon heritage and cultural assets should be accounted for in spatial strategies. We would argue that a proportion of funding from any new developments be ring fenced to ensure adequate levels of cultural and heritage facilities are maintained, to meet increased demand.
Data and resources available:
The standard charges for our sector were developed by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in collaboration with the Department for Communities and Local Government, and other non departmental public bodies (MLA, ACE, CLOA, nalgao, TT, SCL, SA, NA).
These charges build on the results of systematic survey research designed to assess appropriate levels of provision for cultural at local level. The survey covers cultural provision which is community based and managed by local authorities, or otherwise regularly publicly funded.
Detailed geographical mapping of public sector heritage and cultural facilities in Warwick District and surrounding areas, including drive times from venues, catchment areas, venue type(s) and floor space. The mapping allows us to see distribution and reach of facilities, and to identify 'cold spots'.
6: Congestion & Air Pollution
I believe Adrian Hart and Alan Law recently met with your Gary Stephens to discuss our highway and transport input into the preparation of the Local Plan. It was agreed that WCC would carry out some technical work on transport, with a view to providing him with the results of this by the middle/end of August 2011. These will be used to inform the District Council's decision relating to future levels of growth.
