Introduction to the Economic Assessment 1.2 The Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 places a duty on county councils and unitary district councils to prepare an assessment of the economic conditions of their area. This new duty comes into force on 1st April 2010, at which point local authorities must begin to prepare their assessments. The purpose of the Economic Assessment (EA) is to provide a robust evidence base that will underpin strategic planning, investment decisions and delivery plans. 1.3 The Leicester and Leicestershire Leadership Board made a decision to develop a sub-regional EA in 2009, in advance of the statutory requirement. It was also agreed that a single EA be developed to cover Leicester City and Leicestershire County. 1.4 A dedicated EA project team has gathered, analysed and interpreted a vast amount of evidence over the past few months. This has come from a wide range of sources including national statistics, local statistics and bespoke research studies undertaken within the sub- region.

  • Agricultural Land Classification Hinckley and Bosworth Local Plan Land at Newbold Verdon
    AGRICULTURAL LAND CLASSIFICATION HINCKLEY AND BOSWORTH LOCAL PLAN LAND AT NEWBOLD VERDON 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 The proposed site covers an area of approximately 25 ha to the east of the viUage of Newbold Verdon in Leicestershire centred on grid reference SK 455035. 1.2 ADAS Statutory Resource Planning Team undertook a detailed Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) survey of the she during August and September 1995. Information was collected from auger borings, spaced at 100 m intervals, to a depth of 120 cm wherever possible. SubsoU conditions were assessed from four inspection phs. 1.3 At the time of the survey much of the land within the proposed site had been cuhivated foUowing cereals and rape. SmaU areas in the west and east of the she were permanent grassland used for cattle and horse grazing. 1.4 On the pubHshed provisional 1:63 360 scale ALC map, sheet 121 (MAFF, 1971) the northem half of the site is shown as grade 2 and the southem half as grade 3. However, this map is of a reconnaissance nature and the cunent survey was undertaken to provide site specific ALC information. 2 0 PHYSICAL FACTORS AFFECTING LAND QUALITY 2.1 CHmatic criteria are considered when classifying land as these may have an overriding limitation in terms of the agricultural use of the land. The main parameters used in the assessment of the overall climatic limitation are average aimual rainfall, as a measure of overall wetness, and accumulated temperature (day °C, Jan-June), as a measure of the relative warmth of an area.

  • An Early to Mid First Century AD Settlement at Cadeby, Leicestershire Pp.73-96
    04_Speed_073-096 22/9/11 11:22 Page 73 AN EARLY TO MID FIRST-CENTURY AD SETTLEMENT AT CADEBY, LEICESTERSHIRE Gavin Speed with a contribution from: Nicholas Cooper The excavation of an early to mid-first century AD settlement at Cadeby Quarry, Cadeby revealed evidence for two sub-rectangular timber structures, along with structured deposition and pottery production. The results have added new information on Iron Age rural settlement patterns, including the use of rectangular structures in the transitional period between the Late Iron Age and early Roman periods. The structures discovered at Cadeby are a rare discovery in this region of Britain, and they may have served a range of functions including living areas and grain storage. The settlement appears to have lasted up until AD 60/70. Other activity in the area includes the structured deposition of querns and pottery vessels and mid-1st century pottery production. INTRODUCTION University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an archaeological excavation at Cadeby Quarry, Leicestershire (centred on SK 42913 02170) in October 2009, over an area of c. 1ha of land in advance of gravel extraction on behalf of Tarmac Ltd (Figs 1–2). The excavation revealed evidence for an early to mid-first century AD enclosed settlement. The site, which was identified in a geophysical survey (Donaldson 2005), comprised a large rectangular enclosure with internal structures and associated features. Immediately to the south of this a linear ditched boundary was located, along with dispersed settlement activity further to the south. This article presents the summary of the results; a full report (Speed 2010a) is available on the Online Access to the Index of Archaeological Investigations (OASIS), held by the Archaeological Data Service at the University of York under ID: universi1-85072, available at http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/library/greylit/ query.cfm, or at the Leicestershire and Rutland Historic Environment Record.
