Key diagram
Historical Barriers • Pre 1960s bigger houses/extended families • 1960s major demolition – implications
– leave doctors, dentists none in new areas out of habit,
– better ‘accommodation’ - development of communities, BUT houses built quickly, pre fabricated , cheap land – periphery.
• But even these houses weren’t sustainable now need upgrading or demolishing.
Historical Barriers
• Resistance to further upgrade – ‘stay put’ – created feelings of lack trust.
• Population drop - de-canting, – but spends to council still same
(highways etc).– housing revenue down.
Current impacts for consideration
• City centre • Retail –• Residential – clash with other uses
– Accommodation all flatted limited green infrastructure, no room sustainable energy
– Offices become residential open plan
• Not drive to work – healthier mode transport • Limited/fragmented cycle lanes in centre
Current impacts for consideration
• Inner• Housing – cheaper, terraced.• High unemployment ( no job in first place –
cheap to live there) low educational attainment – character tics almost stagnated, cant break the cycle.
• Mental wellbeing – drink, smoke, drugs (coping strategies).
• Difficult to change perception of where they live (certain areas)/ stigma attached to certain areas.
• Poor housing –affects physical health as well as mental well-being.
So...............................how?
• Topic based scoping report
• Linked to the relevant PPAs
• Process of determining whether the PPAs were influenced/enhanced by the scoping report.
• Fuller HIA (desk-top)
Complexities • Strategic Document• Consultation fatigue (desk-
top)– Sustainability Appraisal
• When HIA the document?– (Hokey Cokey – In, out, in, out)
• Constant change committee dates.
