Looking back over pervious March magazines we have usually had pictures of the littler pick which will be too late for this month as well as a few other “goings on”. Having said that there is a nice article about the school and the development that is going on there, unfortunately I didn't manage to take a picture of the crane that came in to move the mobile class room to the other side of the site but maybe I can entice a few pictures from the School as the development continues. Talking of photographs, I am happy to try and use photographs submitted from the Village about the Village. I don’t always have something topical for the front cover but if you have a photograph that might be appropriate then please send it to [email protected], I cant guarantee using it but you never know.

    HS2 Ltd ‘2018 Working Draft Environmental Statement’ Consultation Response of Leicestershire County Council December 2018 Structure of this response This Response to the HS2 Ltd Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) by is split into four parts. These are as follows: PART 1: Document Introduction and Main areas of Concern PART 2: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Community Areas LA03, LA04 and LA05 PART 3: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Route-wide Effects PART 4: Response to WDES Vol 3 – Off-route Effects PART 5: Appendices For any enquires about this response, please contact: [email protected] 1 | Page PART 1: Document Introduction and Maim areas of Concern i) This document and its appendices comprise Leicestershire County Council’s (the Council’s) response to the Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) for HS2 Phase 2b (the proposed scheme). We issue this response in the spirit of contributing to the processes surrounding this vast infrastructure project, but must include the caveat that the Council can only respond to the material to hand and further intensive work with HS2 Ltd is required to fully understand the impacts for Leicestershire and the most appropriate mitigation. ii) The Council recognises that the WDES is a draft document. However, it is disappointing that even in draft; there is a distinct lack of information provided in sections of the WDES, especially regarding the proposed scheme’s constructional and operational impacts and in respect of its design. But, the Council have determined to use this as an opportunity to shape the design and mitigation across the County. Where clear mitigation is not yet defined, the Council will seek to secure assurances from HS2 Ltd that further work will be carried out to inform the preparation of the Hybrid Bill, including HS2 Ltd preparing an Interim Transport Assessment (including sensitivity testing), and during the Parliamentary processes.

  • Catchment Scale Fine Sediment Dynamics and Its Implications for Flood Management

    Catchment Scale Fine Sediment Dynamics and Its Implications for Flood Management

    Catchment scale fine sediment dynamics and its implications for flood management Sarah J Twohig School of Architecture Building and Civil Engineering A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University © by Sarah Twohig 2018 Abstract The impact of fine sediment on catchment flood risk is often neglected when designing and implementing catchment managements plans. Yet, the accumulation of fine sediment can diminish channel capacity, causing an increase in flood risk. To successfully transition away from costly and invasive sediment management methods towards an integrated Natural Flood Management (NFM) approach, the dynamics of fine sediment and its implications for flood risk management must be explored. This thesis employs a novel geomorphological, hydrological, engineering and social approach to explore the influence of fine sediment on flood risk. Hydrological modelling of connectivity and erosion risk was conducted to determine the potential sources using SCIMAP. The model found the River Eye has relatively low connectivity, suggesting sources of sediment in- channel are likely derived from local sources such as river banks. The sub- catchments of Burton Brook and Langham Brook as the areas of highest connectivity and erosion risk indicating likely source areas. To explore patterns of spatial and temporal fine sediment transport an intensive field monitoring campaign was conducted using Time Integrated Mass Sediment samplers (TIMS) across the River Eye catchment. The suspended sediment samples found sites upstream of the silt trap had higher sediment loads than downstream, indicating the silt traps effectiveness in reducing fine sediment. Sediment yield analysis found the Burton Brook tributary is a significant contributor of fine sediments delivering 17.4 g km2 day-1.
  • Sea Screening Template

    Sea Screening Template

    SEA & HRA SCREENING REPORT – HOBY WITH ROTHERBY NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN Prepared by Melton Borough Council 7th May 2020 Planning Policy, Parkside, Burton Street, Melton Mowbray, LE13 1GH [email protected] 01664 502502 Introduction This screening report tests whether or not the Hoby with Rotherby Neighbourhood Development Plan requires a SEA (Strategic Environmental Assessment). This exercise tests whether there are likely to be significant environmental effects arising from the policies in the draft NDP. An environmental assessment is a requirement of The Environmental Assessment of plans and Programmes Regulations 2004. This is the first screening of the draft NDP. Screening exercise will also be undertaken of the submission document and comments will be invited from the statutory consultation bodies on the conclusions contained in the final report. The Neighbourhood Development Plan sets the local planning policy framework for Hoby with Rotherby Parish. When the Plan is ‘made’ by the local planning authority, it will become part of the Development Plan for Melton Borough and be used for the deciding of Planning Applications in the Parish. Now that the Melton Local Plan is close to adoption, the policies in Hoby with Rotherby NDP must comply with the strategic policies in the Local Plan. The Neighbourhood Development Plan considers the following as its vision: “Our Parish - the countryside and the villages of Brooksby, Hoby, Ragdale and Rotherby – should be conserved as an attractive and vibrant place to live, work and enjoy one’s leisure, with a strong sense of community. Whilst respecting and enjoying our historic and natural environments we will work with all local services and businesses to seek, wherever possible, the best outcomes for our community.
