Comprehensive Area Assessment Frequently Asked Questions

This document will provide answers to some of the frequently asked questions about Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) in Calderdale.

 
Government Office LAA Overview

All Local Area Agreements in the country that were approved by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government in July 2008 have been subject to a ‘review and refresh’ process since October 2008.  The aim of this two-stage process was to tie up loose ends and fill in the gaps in the July 2008 Local Area Agreement.

The Review of Calderdale’s LAA was undertaken, on behalf of Whitehall, by officials at Government Office Yorkshire and the Humber and their assessment is, “Calderdale has made good progress with developing and bedding down delivery arrangements across the majority of designated targets.  There is a strong performance management culture in place and evidence of innovative practice.......it is clear that interventions and activities are place to drive forward progress throughout the LAA”. The full assessment can be viewed by clicking below.
 
Secretary of State Letter

On the basis of progress made in delivering the LAA, the availability of new data and new information regarding national performance, further negotiation with Whitehall through Government Office took place from January to March 2009.  The outcome of these negotiations has been the refreshed LAA, approved by the Council in March and by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government at the beginning of April.

Local Area Agreement 2

A local area agreement is a three year agreement between Central Government, represented by the Government Office, and a local area, represented by the local authority and other key partners through the Local Strategic Partnership.  Calderdale’s second Local Area Agreement covers the period 2008 – 2011 and includes indicators, targets and key milestones that will be used to track progress over the 3 years. A narrative, called a story of place, provides a framework for the LAA.

Futures Plan

The 'Futures Plan' was Calderdale’s Sustainable Community Strategy and it looks at the big issues affecting the quality of life in Calderdale and seeks to answer the following questions:

 

  • What kind of place do we want Calderdale to be in the future?
  • What are the key issues we need to address and the main actions we need to take to achieve our vision?
  • How are we going to join up the resources and expertise in the District to make this happen?

 

The Futures Plan is the overarching local plan for Calderdale.  It provides the framework for delivering improvements in the quality of life for people in Calderdale.

The Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) is reviewed every three years and the next SCS 2009 will be published in Summer 2009.

 
Calderdale Story of Place
Calderdale Forward developed a narrative to accompany Calderdale’s LAA 2008-2011. The story of place for our LAA sets out our ambition for Calderdale and identifies the opportunities and challenges the District faces. It sets out the framework and priorities within which the indicators and targets in the LAA have been agreed with Government. The story of place is not formally part of our Local Area Agreement with Government but complements it. The story of place will be embedded within the narrative of Calderdale’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2009 (the Futures Plan) which currently is being updated.  The Futures Plan will be published in Summer 2009.  To view Calderdale’s story of place click below.
