Introduction 1.1. Ashfield, Broxtowe, Erewash, Gedling, Nottingham City and Rushcliffe Councils are working jointly in order to prepare evidence to support the emerging aligned Core Strategies and Local Development Frameworks within their districts. Nottinghamshire County Council is assisting in this work. Part of the evidence base will be to inform the authorities about suitable settlements for the location of appropriate levels of development. 1.2. The aim of any spatial development strategy is to ensure that new development takes place at the appropriate scale in the most sustainable settlements. Most development should be concentrated within those settlements with the largest range of shops and services with more limited development within local service centres and villages.

    Interesting to Know November 2020

    November 2020 Chaplains visit people in their place of work to offer friendship and to listen. Their support is unconditional, non-judgemental, independent and confidential. Interesting to Know.......... The man who revolutionised public transport in Nottingham is to retire. Mark Fowels joined Nottingham City Transport in 1994 and took over as MD in 2001 and following a successful bid, also assumed the role of the Chairman of the Arrow Consortium which re-introduced trams to Nottingham in 2004. Flexible workspace provider Cuba has opened a second venue in Nottingham. The latest is on King Street providing office space, co-working space with hot desks, designated desks, meeting rooms and an in-house barista over four floors. Work to maintain and enhance the look of Trent Bridge – one of the key gateways to the city – has been completed. Nottingham’s Business Improvement District has secured a new five year term. It has received backing from the businesses of the city to continue its work over the next five years from 2021-2025. More city centre living opportunities. Part of the conference facilities of the St James Hotel in the city centre are to be converted into 14 apartments. Vertu Motors has added to its portfolio in Nottingham with the acquisition of the Kia Nottingham dealership in Old Basford from Sandicliffe. The transaction will bring the number of outlets operated by the Group in Nottingham to nine. The new Broadmarsh Car Park development is on course to open in the spring or summer next year. Last month BioCity, the pioneering life science incubator and business collective, supported by education charity Ignite! brought together ninety students from five local secondary schools, to celebrate the legacy of the celebrated Nottingham mathematician, Ada Lovelace, to inspire young women into STEM careers.

    Formal Observations of Linby & Papplewick Parish Councils – Objection Application Ref: 2013/1406 Application by the Co-Ope

    Formal Observations of Linby & Papplewick Parish Councils – Objection Application Ref: 2013/1406 Application by The Co-operative Group Outline Application for demolition of three properties on Papplewick Lane to provide access for a residential development, education provision, public open space and attenuation ponds with Access defined and all other matters reserved Impact on Flooding, Drainage and Water Quality 1. RLP Policy ENV1 (Development Criteria) states that all developments must incorporate best practice in the protection and management of water resources, whilst RLP Policy ENV40 (River Environment) states that planning permission will not be granted for development that would have an adverse effect on water quality. ACS Policy 1 (Climate Change) states that development proposals will be expected to deliver “high levels of sustainability” in order to mitigate against and adapt to climate change, including flood risk and sustainable drainage. Similar objectives are sought by the Framework. 2. The application is accompanied by a number of reports seeking to deal with issues of flooding and drainage, prepared in the main by Hyder Consulting (UK) Limited. Analysis of various documents submitted in support of the application highlights a number of serious short comings associated with the proposed development, as highlighted below. 3. By way of background, a report on the Greater Nottingham Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (GNSFRA) prepared by GBC Planning Policy Manager and tabled at GBC Cabinet meeting on 4th September 2008 and subsequent Planning Committee on 9th Sept 2008 concluded: - “For Gedling Borough, the SFRA primarily consolidates and expands upon existing flooding information to provide a more complete picture of flood risk and its impact on planning.

    Rushcliffe Biodiversity Opportunity Mapping Report

    The Rushcliffe Biodiversity Opportunity Mapping Report July 2015 - 1 - KS/GIN/03 The Rushcliffe Biodiversity Opportunity Mapping Project Credits: Report produced by Chris Jackson (Nottinghamshire Biodiversity Action Group) and Nick Crouch (Nottinghamshire County Council), with mapping and data analysis undertaken by Chris Jackson (Nottinghamshire Biodiversity Action Group), Abigail Smith (Nottinghamshire County Council) and Karen Taylor (Nottinghamshire County Council). Funding: This report was possible in part due to funding by Rushcliffe Borough Council and contributions from the Environment Agency and the Trent Vale Landscape Partnership. - 2 - 1. Aim of the Project The aim of this project is to produce a Biodiversity Opportunity Map (BOM) for the Borough of Rushcliffe. This report will also help to underpin the wider work of the Nottinghamshire Biodiversity Action Group (BAG), the Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) partnership for Nottinghamshire. 2. Background and context to the Project In 2008 the Nottinghamshire BAG resolved to produce a Biodiversity Opportunity Map for the County, in order to: • Help us have a better understanding of the current distribution of biodiversity in the County • Provide a spatial vision for how partners want the biodiversity of the County to look in the long and medium term • Identify the most effective way to re-create habitat networks at a landscape- scale • Help to focus partners’ resources on optimising biodiversity gain • Help to deliver our contribution to the England Biodiversity Strategy,
  • Adopted Local Plan Still Remain Essential to the Local Plan Review

    Adopted Local Plan Still Remain Essential to the Local Plan Review

    ASHFIELD LOCAL PLAN REVIEW ADOPTED NOVEMBER 2002 FOREWORD The previous Ashfield Local Plan was adopted in December 1995 with a plan period to 2001. Following adoption of the Nottinghamshire Structure Plan Review in November 1996 work commenced on the Ashfield Local Plan Review with a plan period to 2011. In July 1997 consultation took place on the Main Issues and Site Allocations Report. The Council's response to comments made on the report were subsequently published on 4th March 1999 together with the Ashfield Local Plan Review Deposit Draft. Following detailed consideration of responses to the Deposit Draft Plan and revised Government guidance, a Second Deposit Local Plan was prepared to include proposed changes to the Deposit Draft Local Plan. The Second Deposit Local Plan was subsequently approved on 11th May 2000 for public consultation. An Inquiry into unresolved objections to the Ashfield Local Plan Review was held between 13th February and 22nd May 2001. The Inspector considered all of the outstanding objections to the Plan together with a number of informal 'Inquiry Changes’ (IC’s) that the Council proposed at the time of the Inquiry. The Inspector’s Report on the Local Plan Inquiry was released for public consideration on 16th January 2002. The Council considered all of the Inspector’s recommendations, and subsequently the 'Statement of Decisions on the Inspector's Report & Proposed Modifications to the Ashfield Local Plan Review' was published for consultation on 9th May 2002. A report of consultation was published in July 2002 indicating that no further material changes were required to the plan.

Introduction Objectives of the Strategy 1.1 The Greater Nottingham authorities have determined that a Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) Strategy is required to inform both the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan (Local Plan Part 1) and the development of policies and allocations within it. This strategic plan is being prepared by Broxtowe Borough Council, Gedling Borough Council, Nottingham City Council and Rushcliffe Borough Council. It will also inform the Erewash Local Plan which is being progressed separately. For the purposes of this BGI Strategy the area comprises the administrative areas of: Broxtowe Borough Council; Erewash Borough Council; Gedling Borough Council; Nottingham City Council; and Rushcliffe Borough Council.
