The HD One

Adjoining Huddersfield’s award-winning John Smiths Stadium, just off the A62 Leeds Road, The HD One development is 5 minutes from both the centre of Huddersfield and junction 25 of the M62.

Kirklees Council has granted planning permission to site owners Kirklees Stadium Development Ltd to transform a 54 acre site astride the River Colne into a multi-use leisure,entertainment and sporting destination close to Huddersfield town centre. In September 2016 Kirklees Council cabinet approved a £4m loan to turn The HD One ski slope dream “into a reality”. The site will build on the existing success of the stadium, the nine-screen Odeon cinema and the Kirklees Active Leisure health and fitness club, increasing expected annual visitor numbers from some 1.5m to over 4m.

The HD One will become home to a host of new activity attractions such as ten-pin bowling, open dry ski slope, indoor surf cafe and body flight. With a hotel, casino, bingo, clubs, and specialist shops, and no fewer than 21 restaurants, bars, and cafés, the scheme will transform this outer town centre area. http://www.thehdone.com/

Railway electrification

The Government announced in June 2015 that it will delay or cut back a number of modernisation projects planned for Network Rail. Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said that rising costs and missed targets make the £38.5bn plan untenable. Network Rail said the plan, which was launched last year as the “largest modernisation of the railways since Victorian times”, was too ambitious. However, on 30 September 2015 it was announced that the project would restart and that Manchester - York/Selby would be completed by 2022. The original completion date was December 2018.

Kirklees 4 Business

A business support funding website for the Kirklees area is available at www.open4funding/info/kirklees/

Registration is required.

West Yorkshire Combined Authority

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority is the driving force for economic growth across the Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield districts and the City of York Council area. WYCA brings together key decision-making powers into a single body, putting West Yorkshire and the wider Leeds City Region, including the City of York, in a much stronger position to tackle its shared economic challenges - including improving transport - by boosting jobs and growth.

Investment fund - Boosting economic growth through a £1/2bn economic investment fund, aligned with government investment, is the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s primary focus. To maximise their impact and potential, decisions affecting areas of policy such as land use, economic development and wider regeneration will be made in alignment with those made on transport. Projects will have differential spatial impacts across the Combined Authority area but will aid the development and delivery of individual member councils’ key growth projects and future local plans.

West Yorkshire plus Transport Fund - In July 2014, the Government announced that the West Yorkshire Combined Authority had, uniquely, secured funding to establish a £1bn West Yorkshire plus Transport Fund. The Fund will comprise £600m of Government funding government over 20 years, £183m of other devolved transport funding previously secured through the City Deal and local contributions. It will underpin growth by improving the City Region’s roads and railways and connecting people to jobs and goods to markets seamlessly.

Kirklees Local Plan

The Kirklees Local Plan (previously known as the Local Development Framework) is the new development plan being produced for Kirklees. This involves working out how many new homes and jobs are needed in the future for the district and allocating land to meet these needs.

The Local Plan will also set out the areas of Kirklees that need protection, including valuable open spaces, areas with high environmental quality and historic value. It will set out the infrastructure needed to make sure that any new developments are sustainable. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) explains what sustainable development means in relation to planning.

The Local Plan will contain a map of the district showing where land has been identified for different uses such as housing, employment and open space. Planning policies will also be set out to make sure that development which comes forward will be sustainable. When the Local Plan is agreed and in place, planning applications will be judged against what it says. The Local Plan is timetabled to be adopted late 2017. Details of the Local Plan can be found at: http://www.kirklees.gov.uk/beta/planning-policy/local-plan.aspx

Mixed Income is the income generated by sole traders (self-employed people not registered as partners). In National Accounts their income is considered a mixture of profits and self-paid wages.

Taxes on Production are compulsory taxes levied by the government or by institutions of the European Union, relating to the production and import of goods and services, the employment of labour, or the ownership or use of land, buildings or other assets in production. They are payable whether or not a profit is made e.g. business rates.

Subsides on production are unrequited payments made by general government or the European Union to enterprises. They include subsidies to farmers for land set-aside, as well as government incentives to promote research and development.

Gross Value Added 2014 (income approach)

Gross Value Added (GVA) is a standard measure of economic output. It describes the total size of an economy and measures the contribution of all activities which produce goods or services. To produce comparative measures, it is usually expressed as a value for each member of the resident population and so produces a measure of GVA per capita. GVA is a measure of the increase in the value of the economy due to the production of goods and services.

GVA(I) comprises Compensation of Employees , plus Gross Operating Surplus, plus Mixed Income, plus Taxes on Production, less Subsidies on Production.Compensation of Employees (CoE) is the largest component of income-based GVA and represents the total remuneration payable to employees in cash or in kind, including the value of social contributions payable by the employer.

Gross Operating Surplus comprises Gross Trading Profits and Surpluses, plus Non-Market Capital Consumption, plus Rental Income, less Holding Gains.

Joint Strategic Needs Assessment

Local authorities and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) have to develop Joint Strategic Needs Assessments (JSNAs) and Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategies (JHWSs), on behalf of the Health and Wellbeing Board.

The KJSA provides a picture of the health and wellbeing of Kirklees people and is used to inform the commissioning strategies and plans of the council, Greater Huddersfield CCG, North Kirklees CCG and the local voluntary and community sector.

It includes information about health needs and assets. Health assets help people and communities to maintain and sustain their health and well-being, such as skills, knowledge, their networks and connections and community spaces, for example parks.

The KJSA site (http://observatory.kirklees.gov.uk/jsna) is split up into sections. Each section under the four main headings uses a life course approach to explain who is affected and where and outlines what actions commissioners and service planners can consider.

Wider factors explores home, community and economic factors.

Behaviours explores health behaviours.

People and life events explores specific groups and life transitions.

Conditions explores common health conditions and diseases.

Attendance Allowance February 2016Attendance Allowance, introduced in December 1971, is a benefit for people aged 65 and over who need help with personal care because of illness or disability. For example, a person may qualify for Attendance Allowance if they have difficulty with washing, dress-ing or similar tasks. The benefit is not income related, is not taxable and is not based on National Insurance Contributions. In general, the benefit has two payment levels. Those requiring help both during the day and night are eligible for a higher rate of £82.30 per week, otherwise recipients are provided with the lower level of benefit (£55.10 per week). In Kirklees there were 9,115 people claiming the allowance (12.5% of all aged 65 and over, Great Britain 14.1%).

Pension Credit February 2016Pension Credit is an entitlement which guarantees everyone aged 60 and over a min-imum income. Pension Credit has two parts: the guarantee credit and the savings credit (only paid to people aged 65 and over). The savings credit provides extra money to people who have income from occupational pensions or savings, giving the recipient a higher income than the guarantee credit. In Kirklees there were 16,475 claimants of Pension Credit of which 2,915 were in couples which accounts for 17.1% of all aged 60 and over (Great Britain 16.3%).

Disability Living Allowance February 2016

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a tax-free benefit for adults and children with a disability or illness who need help with getting around or help with personal care or help with both of these. Normally help must have been needed for at least 3 months and must be likely to be needed for at least a further 6 months. People cannot claim Disability Living Allowance on or after their 65th birthday, even if the need for help started before then, however if they are claimants on their 65th birthday, they can continue to receive the benefit. (People aged 65 or over who need help with personal care may be able to get Attendance Allowance.). In Kirklees, 4.8% of all people (around 1 in 20) claim DLA; this increases to 10.4% for ages 60 to 69 (1 in 10). Note: Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is replacing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people with a long-term health condition or disability aged 16 to 64; at April 2016 there were 5,686 claims in payment.
