Regeneration News: Economic development programme of HAT

13 August 2004

The economic and community development programme of Birmingham's Castle Vale Housing Action Trust (HAT) has been successful and cost-effective in improving employment, according to an independent report published last week.

It has also raised social, economic, living and environmental conditions in Castle Vale, the report concludes. Castle Vale is home to 9,000 people and is the largest post-war estate in the city.

13 August 2004

Cambridge Econometrics has published its latest edition of Regional Economic Prospects. The document contains detailed macroeconomic and industrial forecasts to the year 2015 in the UK's regions.

London and the South East are expected to feature among the fastest-growing regions. Employment in the South East has continued to increase while earnings have also grown strongly, reflecting the region's tight labour market.

Regeneration News: Plans to convert ground-floor terminal

13 August 2004

Plans to convert the ground-floor terminal and grain warehouse at Victoria Quays in Sheffield into offices have been refused. Sheffield City Council's city centre and east planning and highways board turned down the application because councillors want the development to be varied and not dominated by any single use. The committee concluded that there are plenty of other good sites for offices in the city. The warehouses are listed buildings in the canal basin and the upper floors have already been converted into flats.

Regeneration News: Housing developments should take account

13 August 2004

Housing developments should take account of residents' needs and demands placed on services, the Civic Trust has advised. The trust claims that its social impact study of the Convoys Wharf development in Deptford, south London, reveals a lack of forward thinking about the impact of housing development on health and education provision. Proposals for homes on the wharf could double the area's population and the study found that agencies are failing to work together to cater for the community's needs. A multi-agency forum has been brought together to tackle these issues.
