Introduction Objectives of the IDP 1.1. The overarching scope of the project is to produce a district wide Infrastructure Delivery Plan that provides a robust evidence base to support the Local Plan, to inform the development of CIL, in accordance with National Planning Policy and Guidance and to support the submission of future funding bids. The IDP and the evidence supporting it should be robust to withstand scrutiny at the Local Plan examination. The IDP will establish the following in consultation with the various infrastructure providers: Baseline provision for those infrastructure types listed below An assessment of what infrastructure is required to support the strategy for the district as set out in the draft Local Plan, including, but not restricted to, the level of growth for housing, employment and retail An assessment of service providers plans to identify what other infrastructure provision is likely to occur up to 2031 The identification of any gaps in infrastructure provision having regard to the above and infrastructure provision secured to date A prioritisation of identified infrastructure in consultation with NWLDC and stakeholders; The identification of additional strategies and plans required for the various types of infrastructure The identification of any funding gaps to meet the identified needs The identification of potential funding sources that could be used to overcome any funding gaps and possible future governance arrangements for managing the delivery of infrastructure. Policy Context National Planning Policy Framework (March 2012) 1.2. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states in paragraph 151 that Local Plans must be prepared with the objective of contributing to the achievement of sustainable development with infrastructure planning forming an important component of this. The three elements of sustainable development give rise to the need for the planning system to perform the following roles: Economic – contributing to building a strong, responsive and competitive economy, which includes coordinating development requirements and ensuring the provision of infrastructure. Social – by creating a high quality built environment, with accessible local services that reflect the community’s needs and support its health, social and cultural well-being. Environmental – helping to improve biodiversity, use natural resources prudently, minimise waste and pollution, mitigate and adapt to climate change including moving to a low carbon economy. 1.3. The NPPF sets out guidance on infrastructure planning in paragraph 162,, highlighting the need for joint-working with infrastructure and service providers: “Local planning authorities should work with other authorities and providers to: assess the quality and capacity of infrastructure for transport, water supply, wastewater and its treatment, energy (including heat), telecommunications, utilities, waste, health, social care, education, flood risk and coastal change management, and its ability to meet forecast demands; and take account of the need for strategic infrastructure including nationally significant infrastructure with their areas.” 5 North West Leicestershire District Council Infrastructure Delivery Plan 2016 IDP Topic Scope 1.4. The scope of the IDP addresses the infrastructure listed in table 1.1, providing both local services but also in some cases a wider strategic provision of service across administrative boundaries.

For the purposes infrastructure planning within this IDP, an area of study has been defined within which all baseline analysis will be aggregated. This divides the District into five manageable areas which relate to key centres and utilise the ward boundaries to enable statistical data and population forecasts to be aligned to these areas. The five areas are as follows: Coalville Urban Area Ashby de la Zouch Castle Donington / Kegworth Measham Ibstock IDP Assessment Phases 1.6. For the purposes infrastructure planning within this IDP, the development trajectory and local plan horizon has been simplified into phases. The phases are as follows: 2011-2015 2016-2021 2021-2026 2026-2031 Post 2031 8 North West Leicestershire District Council Infrastructure Delivery Plan 2016 Figure 1.2: IDP Assessment Geography based upon Ward Boundaries 9 North West Leicestershire District Council Infrastructure Delivery Plan 2016 IDP Methodology and Programme 1.7.

Wilne Lane is still an issue with overgrown trees and hedges, as is the Greenway; which is being dealt with by DCC. Overgrowth is an issue throughout the village, there is a mix of responsibility for the overgrowth including Canal & River Trust, SDDC, DCC and private householders. Cllr Perks and Cllr Lees spent a large amount of time completing a village walk and making note of areas requiring action and these are now all being actioned. Cllr Hawksworth gave details of restraints the farming community face with hedge cutting due to nesting season – there is also the issue of the weather causing excessive growth this year. Lady in Grey has been painted white – which is not in keeping with the area.

Design, showing elements of the brewing process, by Keith and Judy Hill of Staplehurst. Strategy for the Historic Industrial Environment The Brewing Industry A report by the Brewery History Society for English Heritage February 2010 Text by Lynn Pearson Brewery History Society, 102 Ayelands, New Ash Green, Longfield, Kent DA3 8JW www.breweryhistory.com Foreword The Brewery History Society (BHS) was founded in 1972 to promote research into all aspects of the brewing industry, to encourage the interchange of information about breweries and brewing, and to collect photographic and other archive information about brewery history. The Society publishes a Newsletter and a quarterly journal Brewery History, which first appeared in 1972. It has also published a national directory and a series of county-wide surveys of historic breweries; the Society’s archive is held by Birmingham Central Library. Further details of BHS activities may be found at <http://www.breweryhistory.com>. The ongoing threat to the historic fabric of the English brewing industry was discussed at the conference From Grain to Glass, organised jointly by English Heritage (EH), the BHS and the Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA), which took place at Swindon on 13 June 2003; the joint BHS and Victorian Society study day From Hop to Hostelry: the brewing and licensed trades 1837 -1914 (Young’s Ram Brewery, Wandsworth, 25 February 2006); and during the AIA Ironbridge Working Weekend (Coalbrookdale, 29 April 2006).

  • 69: Trent Valley Washlands Area Profile: Supporting Documents
    National Character 69: Trent Valley Washlands Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 69: Trent Valley Washlands 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 Rise and Fall of a Market Town, Castle Donington in the Nineteenth
    THE RISE AND FALL OF A 1\iIARl(ET TOWN Castle Donington in the Nineteenth Century by J.M. Lee I The old buildings of Castle Donington are startling evidence of former prosperity. Not only the larger residences of High Street, but also many houses of little importance with back-kitchens and outhouses of old half­ timbered work, have red-brick fronts and sash windows, all of the same age, which are a flourish in the classical style that dominated the ordinary domes­ tic architecture of the early nineteenth century. The visitor must be puzzled by the curious architectural luxuries which have been altered to suit other purposes. For instance, a house stands in the Market Place, with a classical pediment and a French window which once opened on to a wrought iron balcony; but its ground floor frontage has twice been rebuilt, once to accom­ modate two shop-fronts and now to house an office. The balanced pro­ portions of No. 71 High Street, and the elegance of its next-door neighbour are evidence of good taste. The two houses in High Street built for two sisters of a former vicar, Isabella and Mary Ann Dalby, command the respect due to comfortable gentility. The bold bow-windows of a shop in Church Lane and the shy milliner's window in Apes Gate remind the passer-by of long-vanished trades. A sense of solid satisfaction is conveyed by the even regularity of door and window in Church Lane Terrace, by the ostentation of Venetian windows above two shops in Borough Street and by the moulding of the cottage door-jambs in Bondgate.

  • Canal Carriers PDF1
    River, Canal and Coastal Carriers in the East Midlands c.1660–1840 Philip Riden River, Canal and Coastal Carriers in the East Midlands c.1660–1850 Philip Riden Department of History University of Nottingham, UK [email protected] 2013 FOREWORD This short piece of work is a by-product of projected larger study of ‘Transport and Trade in the East Midlands, 1660–1840’, on which I have been engaged for several years and hope shortly to complete with the support of a grant from the British Academy. As part of this work, I have assembled outline biographies of individuals and partnerships who carried goods on the rivers and later the canals of the region (defined fairly loosely as Derbyshire (less the High Peak), Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland), and coastwise to and from the ports of Lincolnshire, as a means of better understanding how transport services by water developed over the period in question. I have also prepared a similar biographical dictionary of ‘StageWaggon Carriers in the East Midlands, c.1660–1840’, which I hope shortly to make available in the same form as this booklet. I am circulating these notes in draft in the belief that they may be of interest to others working in the same field, and in the hope that by doing so I may elicit corrections and additions that can be incorporated in a later version. Accordingly, I would be delighted if anyone who comes across this work and feels they can add or correct anything would get in touch. Equally, I would be grateful if this work was not cited elsewhere without my first being consulted.
