Core Strategy OptionsBuilt Environment2.16 The historic town centre of Christchurch is characterised by narrow streets, attractive olderbuildings and complemented by its Priory and riverside setting. Within the Borough there are 12designated Conservation Areas, around 287 Listed Buildings and 12 Scheduled Ancient Monuments.2.17 Wimborne is a historic market town and there are many attractive villages in East DorsetDistrict. There are 19 Conservation Areas, 689 Listed Buildings and 152 Scheduled AncientMonuments in the district. East Dorset has identified “Special Character Areas” within a number ofresidential areas which are distinguished by their built form and layout, often within a well-treedsetting.Challenges and Opportunities for the futureThere are a significant number of sites designated for their nature conservation importance inChristchurch and East Dorset. Of those designated at an international level, the Dorset Heathsare the most significant, both in terms of area and impact.Landscape quality and character in rural areas needs to be protected.The identifiable impacts resulting from climate change need addressing.Flood risk is a significant issue for Christchurch as it affects areas with development potential.It is less of an issue within East Dorset. There is a need to make the best use of the limiteddevelopment land whilst directing development away from flood risk areas. Resistingdevelopment in flood risk areas reduces the risks from climate change, but could result ingreater pressure for development in areas unaffected by flood risk.Care should be taken to ensure that the intensification of residential development within theurban areas does not adversely impact on the established and valued local character andamenity of these areas.Population2.18 The area has seen a rapid growth in population, principally through the in-migration of peoplefrom other parts of the Country. The area is popular with older people, leading to a significantimbalance in its age structure. Forecasts show that the proportion of older people is set to increasein the future and the proportion of working age population is expected to drop.2.19 The population in Christchurch is 45,824 and East Dorset is 85,200 (ONS 2008).2.20 The current proportion over retirement age (ONS 2008) is above the County and nationalaverage in Christchurch at 34% and in East Dorset at 32%, compared with 29% in DCC Dorset asa whole and just 19% nationally.2.21 Despite death rates exceeding birth rates in the area, the population continues to increaseas a result of in-migration from other parts of the Country rather than from abroad. In 2004 – 2008more residents moved abroad from Christchurch and East Dorset than moved from other countriesinto the area. (ONS Long term international migration tables 1991 – 2008) The age profile of peoplemoving to the area from elsewhere within the UK is younger than that of the current population, soit should not be assumed that people only move to the area to retire. However this trend is notsignificant enough to change the age structure of the current population to one which is less heavilyweighted towards the older age groups.2.22 Long term projections suggest that the population may grow to 55,900 in Christchurch and100,800 in East Dorset by 2033. (ONS Sub-national Population Projections- 2008 based)2.23 Older people are expected to account for an increasing proportion of the population in futurewith the percentage of residents aged 65 in 2033 predicted to reach 38 per cent in Christchurch andEast Dorset. (ONS Sub-National Population Projections 2008 based).10September 29th, 2010 Christchurch and East Dorset Council Meetings Core Strategy Options
Core Strategy Options2.24 The proportion of population of working age in the area is relatively low, at only 50% inChristchurch and 52% in East Dorset compared with 54% in Dorset and 62% nationally (ONS 2008)2.25 Working age population is predicted to drop to 47% of the total in Christchurch and 48% inEast Dorset by 2033. (ONS Sub-National Population Projections 2008 based) However, this will becountered to a degree by changes in the retirement age.2.26 As well as a projected population increase, there is a predicted increase in households dueto the following trends:-Smaller households (currently average size is 2.15 in Christchurch and 2.32 in East Dorset –2001 census)Fewer children per familySeparationOlder parentsMore people living aloneLiving longer2.27 Ethnic minorities are a small but growing proportion of the total population. The 2001 Censusidentifies the ethnic make-up of the population as 99.92% classified as “White British” in Christchurchand 98.99% in East Dorset compared with 98.75% across Dorset and 90.92% in England and Wales.2.28 In 2007 the proportion of “White British” had fallen to 96.8% in Christchurch and 97.1% inEast Dorset, compared with 96.4% across Dorset and 88.7% in England and Wales (ONS Mid YearEstimates by Ethnic Group 2007).2.29 Christchurch and East Dorset are less ethnically diverse than England. For both districts thelargest black and minority ethnic group is “White Other” (2% followed by “White Irish” (0.9%Christchurch, 0.7 % East Dorset. (ONS 2007)2.30 In England & Wales the largest black and minority ethnic group is British Asian (5.5%) followedby Black British (2.7%), compared with 1.1% British Asian and 0.7% Black British in Christchurchand 0.9% British Asian and 0.6% Black British in East Dorset. (ONS 2007)Challenges and opportunities for the futureThe issue of population living longer and living in smaller households needs to be addressed.The imbalance of the age groups of the population towards the older age groups will haveimplications for the types of housing required and provision of services.The impact of a declining working age population on the economy of the area needs tackling.Housing2.31 Demand for housing is high and there is a significant problem of affordability due to the highhouse price:income ratios in the area. There are high levels of need for affordable housing acrossboth areas. Housing land supply is affected by environmental constraints, in particular, flood riskand proximity to heathland, as well as Green Belt and infrastructure constraints. Evidence on housingsupply (Christchurch and East Dorset Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessments 2009)indicates a low number of larger sites likely to come forward within the urban area, hence a relianceon smaller sites and a need to maximise opportunities to meet housing needs.2.32 The Christchurch and East Dorset Surveys of Housing Need and Demand (2007) identifythe main characteristics of the housing stock. The profile of the housing stock is heavily weightedtowards detached properties, although there are differences between the two districts:-Christchurch has a higher number of flats and terraced houses, although the proportion ofdetached properties is still high at 42.5% due to the particularly high proportion of detachedCore Strategy Options September 29th, 2010 Christchurch and East Dorset Council Meetings11
