SOUTH WORCESTERSHIRE ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT 2010808.0 ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY8.1 Green living and good design are embodied in the three adopted localplans and the emerging SWDP’s vision and objectives. A range ofindicators can be drawn from in order to provide an assessment ofwhether the strategy is having effect over time. Core output indicatorsaddress some key areas, such as design quality, flooding, biodiversityand renewable energy generation. To these, some contextualsustainability indicators have also been chosen to give a fuller picturefor this first reporting of the baseline position, which will be monitored infuture AMRs.Housing Quality Building for life Assessments COI, H68.2 The purpose of this indicator is to show the number and proportion oftotal new build completions reaching very good, good, average andpoor ratings against the Building for Life criteria on sites of at least 10new dwellings. The Building for Life criteria is a government-endorsedassessment benchmark developed by CABE (Commission forArchitecture and the Built Environment). The assessment has beendesigned to ensure that it meets the criteria described for housingquality in PPS3. Each housing development (scheme) is awarded ascore out of 20, based on the proportion of CABE Building for Lifequestions that are answered positively. The scores are categorised asvery good (16 or more positive answers out of 20); good (14 or morepositive answers out of 20); average (10 or more positive answers outof 20); or poor (less than 10 questions answered positively). Theschemes were assessed by each Authority’s own Building for Lifeassessors, who have all been trained by CABE, or by an assessor fromthe local architecture centre, OPUN. The assessment is based onevidence from a site visit and information on the planning file. Scoresare subject to potential call in by CABE for cross checking theassessments and evidence that supports them.
SOUTH WORCESTERSHIRE ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT 2010818.3 This is the first year that this indicator has been assessed since it wasintroduced for the reporting year 2008-09. Building for Life is a nationalstandard, developed by CABE and the Home Builders Federation, forwell-designed homes and neighbourhoods. Housing design canimprove wellbeing and quality of life, for example by contributing toreducing crime, improving public health and integrating with publictransport. PPS3 Housing states that good design is fundamental to thedevelopment of high quality new housing, which contributes to thecreation of sustainable, mixed communities. PPS1 sets out that designquality should be given significant weight when determining planningapplications and that refusal of permission can be given on designgrounds.8.4 This indicator is based on five housing development applications withinWychavon District Council and Malvern Hills District Council of newbuild housing completions on sites of at least 10 dwellings or more. Nosite applications have been reviewed in Worcester City for this AMR.8.5 Since this is the first year that this indicator has been included in theAMR this analysis will provide an initial benchmark for subsequentyears.8.6 The three sites of at least 10 dwellings are listed in table 22a. Theschemes have either been granted permission and are underconstruction. The ratings for the sites have been assessed in relation tothe Building for Life criteria (see Appendix 4) are set out in table 22b.Type Address Town/Village ProposalAllocated /TewkesburyEckingtonHouses/bungalowgreenfieldRoadRedevelopment Philipscote Evesham Flats/housesRedevelopmentShearBroadwayHouses/RSLHouseTable 22a: Sites of 10 or more completions between 1 April 2009 and31 March 2010
