Availability For sale, but Diocese has noted that use for a multi- purpose community building would be considered favourably. Site Planning History Way through by foot into Coleford House and Bowen’s Hill. The main access is off Boxbush Road, although has not been frequently used by vehicles. Building was assessed in the quinquennial review 2010 as needing much work to the fabric. That was costed later as being approx. £1.5m. There has been a survey by drone provided by Friends of St John’s which debates the degree of work needed. Closed for regular worship. Diocese is open to options eg multi-purpose building with potential for some worship. Community use is noted. The diocese is committed to providing a church building in Coleford. NB Church of Good Shepherd at Broadwell is within the parish boundary. Diocese has previously been in contact with the District Council about another potential site for a church. This site adjoins the Coleford House site, which is also available. The Vicarage opposite in Boxbush Rd is also owned by the Church. Note the character of the area eg villa shown in Bowens Hill on SJC1. SJC 1 Position and landmark nature of the building on the edge of the Town Centre and Conservation Area.

Fair:Poor access into the site but good approach roads, or poor access into √ the site and good approach roads. Poor:Poor access onto the site and poor roads approaching it. Number of Accesses, Type, Key Issues and Possible Mitigation SJC 6 path to rear to Bowens Hill in SJC 7 rear access with steps (3 external Coleford house ownership doors apart from main entrance). Double gates lead into Boxbush Rd, rarely used for vehicles. Boxbush Road is one-way and is often busy, but cars park on both sides of the road. There is no parking on site (though there is some space). Parking is an issue in the road of which the lower end is in the Conservation Area, and at a congested junction. 3. CONNECTIONS SUMMARY: Overall, how well connected is the site? Note key points in the site’s favour in terms of connections. Position means easily accessed, but busy junction in Conservation Area busier after 156 house site completed Tram road on boundary by pedestrian access to rear by Coleford House at much lower level. Path ownership is Coleford House. No car park in congested area. Neighbours park on the road. On edge of Town Centre, but steep walk uphill home Note the key points in terms of connections that would have to be addressed (mitigation) to make it a suitable site: Architecture of Church and listed status means restoration with any alterations needs careful planning/conservation. Multi-purpose community use/ artisan use possibly including use for worship on occasions (eg large funerals) would need wider vehicle access. Parking would need to be addressed urgently whatever purpose, whether as attraction or for community use. If for housing as instrumental to sustainable use, then number of units would reflect traffic movements. (Could be a few units accessed separately eg to lady chapel area?) Investigate links with Coleford House re walkway and parking. Photo 8 Sewage access is behind opposite buildings in Boxbush Rd, Bowens Hill Rd and also along Tramway. Overall pipe capacity to Newland is questionable NB no sewer known into the building.

Seen from outside town and in most directions – see SJC 1, and below. It is sensitive because of its function, its position and its listing. It is approx. 5 feet above the level of Coleford House site adjoining, down the hill. (The site could be larger if the Coleford House site, or part of it, was incorporated.

  • A Public Consultation on Revised Proposals for the Transposition of Directive 2008/57/EC on the Interoperability of the Rail System
    A public consultation on revised proposals for the transposition of Directive 2008/57/EC on the interoperability of the rail system 1 October 2011 Contents Executive Summary 2 How to respond 2 Freedom of Information 3 The Consultation Criteria 4 What will happen next 4 The proposals 5 Longer term strategic issues 22 List of consultation questions 25 Annexes: A – List of those consulted B - The Consultation Criteria C – Draft Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2012 D - Transposition Note E – Draft List of Exclusions from Scope (GB) F – Draft Impact Assessment G – Directive 2008/57 (and updates) H – Commission Recommendation 2011/217 2 October 2011 Executive Summary i.) This consultation seeks views on draft regulations concerning the interoperability of the railways. These regulations are necessary to meet the requirements of the Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC which recast earlier versions and the deadline for implementation was 19 July 2010. The recast Directive contained new provisions for type authorisation of vehicles. It also has provisions for the reauthorisation process for vehicles authorised in another Member State which have been moved from the 2004 Safety Directive into the Interoperability Directive. ii.) The draft regulations will implement the Directive for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The reauthorisation of vehicles for the UK half of the Channel Tunnel are dealt with in bi-national safety regulations. All other requirements in the Directive in relation to the Tunnel will be implemented through these draft interoperability regulations. iii.) This consultation builds on two earlier rounds of consultation which were published by the Department in 2009 and 2010.

  • Vision Care for Deaf Children and Young People Throughout the UK
    s d r a d n a t S y t i l a u Q Vision care for deaf children and young people Guidelines for professionals What parents have told us... “We were impressed that they treated her as a child first, not just as a deaf child. They accommodated her needs and did various things to get her confidence, so they could get a good quality eye test done.” “The initial diagnosis – although a shock to us as parents – was followed up with care and due information and explanation.” “Families have the primary care and responsibility for their child. So it is vital to involve them from the outset as partners with health professionals in the care of their child – rather than as recipients of a service.” Driving up vision care standards for deaf children Several changes have taken place affecting deaf children since the publication of the first guidelines on vision care for all deaf children by Sense and NDCS in 2004. This new edition takes recent developments into account. Newborn Hearing Screening has been implemented throughout the UK. Babies born with permanent deafness may be indentified in the first few weeks of life – which means that families can make earlier decisions on how their child can develop language skills. Developments in the cochlear implantation programme (and service, too) have seen many more parents choosing this option for their deaf child since 2004. Most of the information a child will use to learn about their world comes through their ears and eyes. Deaf children are especially dependent on vision in order to acquire language and develop relationships.
