REPORT STRUCTURE Introduction 1.1 Roger Tym & Partners (RTP) has prepared this Retail Statement on behalf of our client, the Tin Hat Regeneration Partnership LLP, which is a joint venture between Centenary Ashcroft and Wilson Bowden Developments. The Statement supports our client’s outline planning application for the redevelopment of the bus station and adjacent land between Rugby Road and Station Road in Hinckley Town Centre. 1.2 The outline application, which covers access, layout and scale, is for a mixed-use development comprising retail (A1-A3 uses), leisure (D2 uses) and offices (B1a uses), together with all associated infrastructure and plant, public realm, landscaping and servicing. The works also include the provision of a part undercroft/part surface-level public car parking area and a new bus station for the town. 1.3 The Bus Station/Brunel Street site is identified as a priority for redevelopment by the Borough Council in its adopted Core Strategy and the emerging Area Action Plan for Hinckley Town Centre. The site is currently under-used and it has a poor physical environment with virtually no landscaping or public open space. The individual uses within the site do not relate well to one another, and parts of the site are neglected. The site is not fulfilling its potential, therefore, as a gateway into the heart of Hinckley Town Centre. The redevelopment of the site will be critical to the Borough Council’s wider regeneration aspirations for the town centre, and it will be fundamental to allow Hinckley to fulfil its role in the sub-regional retail hierarchy. 1.4 The proposed redevelopment scheme therefore involves the regeneration of an under- used area of land with a poor-quality environment, and it will provide a mixed-use development comprising a new food superstore complemented by 18 additional retail units, a bowling alley/family entertainment centre, a cinema, 5 restaurants/cafés, and office floorspace. The scheme will address the long-standing quantitative and qualitative need for additional convenience and comparison floorspace in Hinckley Town Centre, and will provide Hinckley with a much-needed evening economy and commercial leisure sector. Furthermore, the scheme will involve the redevelopment of under-used land, to create an attractive, high quality southern gateway to the town centre. 1.5 The focus of this report is to consider the retail and other town centre uses proposed within the scheme. We thus assess the scheme in relation to the national policy tests for economic development, as set out in PPS4. Policy EC14 of PPS4 sets out the supporting evidence that should accompany planning applications for main town centre uses and requires that: i) a sequential assessment be undertaken for planning applications for main town centre uses that are not in an existing centre and are not in accordance with an up-to-date development plan (EC14.3); and that ii) an assessment of impacts be undertaken under Policy EC16.1, for planning applications for retail and leisure developments over 2,500 sq.m gross floorspace, or any other local floorspace threshold set in the development plan process (EC14.4).

  • Core Strategy Adopted December 2009
    Local Development Framework Core Strategy ADOPTED DECEMBER 2009 Maps included in this document © Crown copyright. All rights reserved Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council LA100018489 Published 2008 Aerial Photographs Copyright GeoPerspectives. Supplied by Bluesky International Ltd. Foreword As the Executive Member with responsibilities for Regeneration and Planning for Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council I am proud to announce the adoption of the council’s Core Strategy Development Plan Document. The adoption of this Document is the result of more than 5 years of work, which began with a series of workshops around the borough to help the council to understand what local communities value about their local environment and what issues communities face over the next 20 years. The Document is the frst of its kind to be produced by a single council in the whole of the East Midlands. It provides this council with an up to date planning policy framework upon which to assess the merits of future planning application submissions. Further, it provides more certainty in helping the council to meet its future development requirements up to 2026. The Core Strategy is the key strategic document in the suite of documents to be produced as part of the Local Development Framework for the borough. It provides a steer on the level and direction of future housing and employment growth, it also sets out policies aimed to improve the environment and the range of facilities in the urban areas as well as the rural settlements of the borough. Importantly the Document seeks to ensure the necessary physical, social and green infrastructure is put in place to allow the strategy to be successfully delivered.

  • THE EMERGENCE and FUNCTIONING of DISTRICT RELIEF COMMITTEES DURING the FIRST WORLD WAR: a CASE STUDY of HINCKLEY, LEICESTERSHIRE John Martin and Robert King
    THE EMERGENCE AND FUNCTIONING OF DISTRICT RELIEF COMMITTEES DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR: A CASE STUDY OF HINCKLEY, LEICESTERSHIRE John Martin and Robert King Very little is known about the operation of the District Relief Committee (DRC) and the role it played during the First World War. This article undertakes a pioneering investigation into its significance by means of a case study of the DRC as it operated in the town of Hinckley, Leicestershire, and which demonstrated the unsung role that the organisation played in mobilising and coordinating the war effort at a local level. An important discovery was that over time the committee evolved from a charitable organisation, run by local dignitaries and personalities, from the onset of the war to, by 1916, a professionally operated de facto local government department. The effect of this largely unknown network, which has merited scant attention from historians, was to enable the government both rapidly to acquire and disseminate local information vital to the war effort, with the provision of aniline dyes being one such example. INTRODUCTION The District Relief Committee (DRC) system was established to implement charitable relief and commercial requirements at both national and local levels, but has largely been ignored by current historians. For example, Wilson, when referring to the reception of Belgian refugees into Britain, writes that ‘…other organizations arranged financial assistance for the dependents of servicemen’, but does not say what form that assistance took.1 Marwick notes that the early months of the war saw a ‘flowering of grand-scale private charity’,2 but, like Wilson, makes no mention of its implementation, or to whom the charitable activity was directed.
