  • Gilmorton Settlement Profile Introduction
    Gilmorton Settlement Profile Introduction General Location: Gilmorton village lies 3 miles north-east of Lutterworth. Leicester is 10 miles north, whilst Market Harborough is 15 miles to the east of the parish. Gilmorton is bordered by Ashby Magna and Peatling Parva to the north, Kimcote and Walton to the east, Misterton with Walcote to the south, with Lutterworth, Bitteswell and Ashby Parva to the west The north-east of the parish is occupied by Bruntingthorpe airfield, a now defunct RAF base that is home to an Aircraft museum and is now used for both aviation and non-aviation purposes. The village is broadly linear in form, running for over 1km north-south along Main Street. It is situated in a gently undulating landscape and is of Saxon origin. The parish lies on a watershed with streams rising to the north flowing into the North Sea via the Humber whilst those to the south flow in southwards to the Bristol Channel. Gilmorton always has been, and to some extent still is an agricultural village, but the relative decline of this industry has led to the area increasingly becoming a commuter village. The village has seen a long, steady decline in its public transport provision over the years, leaving only a twice-daily taxi-bus service to Lutterworth in the present day. A similar decline has occurred with the provision of shops/services in the village, but fortunately for many residents Gilmorton has managed to retain its village store, heralded as one of the best in Leicestershire. The village is identified as a Selected Rural Village in the Core Strategy for the District and as such, is outlined as a settlement that would potentially benefit from the support of limited development such as rural housing.

  • 94: Leicestershire Vales Area Profile: Supporting Documents
    National Character 94: Leicestershire Vales Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 94: Leicestershire Vales Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

The Conservation Area runs parallel to the A426 Leicester Road on the eastern side and incorporates Brownsover Hall and a small number of houses to the south together with St Michael’s Church. Undeveloped land to the east and around the hall is included within the Conservation Area. The area was designated a Conservation Area in July 1992 and the designation covers all the buildings within the hamlet but excludes the recent residential development of Monarch Close. Conservation Areas were introduced by the Civic Amenities Act in 1967 and they are defined by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as an ‘area of special architectural or historic interest, the character of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’. Section 69 of the act places a duty on the Local Authority to review its Conservation Areas from time to time and section 71 to formulate and publish proposals for their preservation and enhancement.

  • Appendix A: SUDS Review and Historical Flooding
    Harborough District Council Strategic Flood Risk Assessment D119550 Appendix A: SUDS Review and Historical Flooding Harborough Level 1 SFRA Final -A - April 2009 Harborough District Council Strategic Flood Risk Assessment D119550 Geology and SUDS Review Sustainable Drainage systems Traditionally, built developments have utilised piped drainage systems to manage storm water and convey surface water run-off away from developed areas as quickly as possible. Typically these systems connect to the public sewer system for treatment and/or disposal to local watercourses. Whilst this approach rapidly transfers storm water from developed areas, the alteration of natural drainage processes can potentially impact on downstream areas by increasing flood risk and reducing water quality. Receiving watercourses are therefore much more sensitive to rainfall intensity, volume and catchment land uses after a catchment or areas of a catchment have been developed. Due to the difficulties associated with updating sewer systems it is uncommon for sewer and drainage systems to keep pace with the rate of development/re-development and the increasingly stringent controls placed on discharges to watercourses. As development progresses and/or urban areas expand these systems become inadequate for the volumes and rates of storm water they receive, resulting in increased flood risk and/or pollution of watercourses. Allied to this are the implications of climate change on rainfall intensities leading to flashier catchment/site responses and surcharging of piped systems. In addition, as flood risk has increased in importance within planning policy, a disparity has emerged between the design standard of conventional sewer systems (1 in 30 year) and the typical design standard flood (1 in 100 year).

This ramifies back and forth with evidence. In southern Germany, for example, secular matters: cultural identity, nucleation, churches were first built at fords or crossroads, manorialisation, and here the existence of hilltops, burial barrows, or springs for baptism, Leicestershire itself.
