The classification shows the percentage of the area classified as rural, and then identifies the area as being either major urban (MU;1); large urban (LU;2); other urban (OU;3); significant rural (SR;4); rural-50 (R50;5) and rural-80 (R80;6) where R50 is where at 50% is rural and R80 where at least 80% is rural Table 4.25 - Number of Jobs in Rural Categories Rural Category Jobs 2003 Jobs 2004* Jobs 2005 % Change 04-05 R80 R50 SR OU LU Total 274,130 289,265 282,319 434,164 488,418 1,768,296 276,065 290,482 288,970 449,871 498,270 1,803,659 285,683 305,757 294,858 458,260 513,646 1,858,204 Source: Annual Business Inquiry Defra Rural categories *2004 data has been revised by ONS and differs from that published in the previous monitoring report Figure 4.10 - Percentage Change in Number of Jobs 04-05 3.5 5.3 2.0 1.9 3.1 3.0 © Crown Copyright.

East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 Data Analysis 4.71 The number of new VAT registration in the East Midlands fell marginally from 12,205 in 2004 to 12,015 in 2005. However the number of new start ups stayed the same in very rural areas, leading to a slight increase in the proportion of new start ups in these areas from 21.5% in 2004 to 21.8% in 2005. 4.72 The net change figure for 2005 has been included following the suggestion made in the 2004/5 monitoring report. It measures the net gain or loss in the stock of registered enterprises - equal to registrations less de-registrations.There was no gain or a small loss in only four local authority areas, all but one of which were in the large urban category. In all other local authority areas there was a net gain in enterprises. New start ups in rural areas would appear to be on a par with those in urban areas. 4.73 The limitation of the data used is that very small firms or those exempt from VAT are not included in the VAT registration statistics. 4.74 The Annual Business Inquiry (ABI) data shows that there was a 3 per cent growth in employment in the East Midlands from 2004 to 2005. The largest percentage change over this period was in the more rural areas of the region. Some care needs to be taken when interpreting the ABI data as it has experienced classification and accuracy problems in the past, and is subject to future data revision. Policy Commentary 4.75 Despite the continuing decline in the numbers employed in the Region’s primary industries, there is evidence to suggest that policies geared towards the diversification and development of the rural economy are succeeding. It is noteworthy that for the third consecutive year, more than 42% of new business start-ups occurred in district council areas defined as the most rural (i.e. R50 and R80). 4.76 Overall from 2004 to 2005 the East Midlands saw a 3% increase in the number of jobs (compared with a 2.1% increase from 2003 to 2004).The largest increase was in rural (R50) areas.The map shows that some rural areas have seen a decline in the number of jobs, but overall, rural areas appear to be performing as well as large urban areas. 4.77 Leicestershire County Council, through the Leicestershire Rural Partnership, provides grant schemes to encourage and support diversification in rural areas.These include the New Life for Redundant Buildings Initiative, the Rural Micro Business Grant and the Rural Retail Development Scheme. The Farmers Development Grant, funded by emda through the Leicestershire Economic Partnership (LSEP), is administered by the County Council to help farm-based diversification. Policy 25: Regional Priorities for Tourism Development Plans, Local Development Frameworks, tourism strategies and SSP Partnerships should seek to identify areas of potential for tourism growth which maximises economic benefit whilst minimising adverse impact on the environment and local amenity Targets: • 15,000 new jobs in tourism by 2008 • Visitor spending in region to increase by 2% by 2010 • Tourism to contribute 4.5% of region’s GDP by 2010 Indicators: • Number of new of jobs in tourist related activities • Visitor spending in region • Number of overnight stays in region 68
