A Select Development of Four Executive Eco-Built Homes A SELECT DEVELOPMENT OF FOUR EXECUTIVE ECO-BUILT HOMES FROM Resolution Homes presents four executive eco-built houses in the popular village of Silverstone. Silverstone Silverstone is a medium sized village in the southernmost part of Northamptonshire. It is very close to the North Buckinghamshire border and has a population of around two thousand people. Only 4 miles from Towcester it provides a quiet village feel but gives excellent access to multiple locations via the A43, A5, the M1 (10 miles) and the M40 (12 miles) thus making it an excellent commuter location. The towns of Milton Keynes and Northampton are around 12 miles away, offering all of the shopping and amenities that you would need as well as offering excellent rail links to London and beyond. Half a mile south of the village is the famous Silverstone Circuit, the home of the British Grand Prix. This was formerly the site of RAF Silverstone and home to World War II bombers. In the middle ages the village was primarily in the timber trade utilising the surrounding Whittlewood Forest through the use of coppicing. For those interested in schooling in the area, both the local infant school and junior school are highly regarded with the infant school in particular achieving an “outstanding” Ofsted rating. The properties themselves have been designed by an award winning architect to give a traditional external feel with the use of stone, slate and brick which will fit into the local surroundings. Internally they will be finished to the highest level with the use of top quality materials to give them all a modern feel. These properties will also be without doubt, some of the most environmentally friendly and economically viable properties in this and the surrounding areas. With this added to the most up to date smart home capability, these houses will be future proofed for years to come. The Properties All four houses are traditional in their external design with elements of stone, brick and slate. Internally they will be finished to a very high specification with a modern feel that is still in touch with the exterior and surroundings. They vary in size from 4100-4400 square feet of living space. All four properties are situated on a combined site that is approximately one acre in size and they are accessed by a private stone walled and gated entrance. The all-important element of these houses is the many eco-friendly credentials. The wider than standard 150mm wall cavities pumped with recycled glass fibre insulation, combined with the triple glazed windows should vastly reduce the homes carbon footprint and ensure they stand out from the rest. When combined with the Air Source Heat Pumps, Heat Recovery, Photovoltaic Solar Panels and Rainwater Harvesting, then taking into account the income back from the government in the form of the ‘Feed in Tariffs’ and ‘Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme‘, it is possible that the owners of these properties could end up in profit each year when heating and running their own homes. Each house will also have an electric car charging station for anyone interested in joining the electric car revolution! Internally the properties are situated over three floors. On the ground floor is the main living area which includes a huge open plan kitchen and dining area, living room (vaulted in plots 1, 2 & 4), study and family/play room. The first floor generally comprises of four large double bedrooms with two en-suites and a main bathroom, with a marvellous Master Suite on the 2nd floor incorporating a balcony area off the bedroom, a walk in wardrobe and a large en-suite. Externally the properties have block paved driveways and patios to the rear of the living room and kitchen diners. All plots will have existing mature trees to their rear boundaries and all gardens will be laid to lawn. This will give the new build properties a mature garden which is rare for a property so modern and new. dressing storage master landing bedroom storage master en-suite dressing en-suite 2 bedroom 4

This context appraisal, based on fieldwork and a study of the existing literature, expands on the particular features of the towns of Northampton, Daventry and Towcester and a number of surrounding villages. The section begins with an analysis of West Northamptonshire at the national and regional levels. It covers the geographical, historic, socio-economic and spatial features that shaped its development and led to the current conditions. This is followed by a review of each town, examining the typology of movement; the historic development; and the streetscape, townscape and architecture of the various areas within each town. Together these elements embody the local distinctiveness of Northampton, Daventry and Towcester and their surrounding villages. The information contained in this section is not only applicable to development within the WNDC’s boundary but can also be drawn upon in the consideration of new development within the

  • F1 Circuits Past and Present Silverstone
    F1 Circuits Past and Present ­ Silverstone Hello and welcome to this brand new mini series from Sidepodcast ‐ F1 Circuits Past and Present. As you might imagine, we’ll be taking a closer look at circuits, those that have featured on the calendar for a long time, and those that only had a brief outing. Today, we’re going to begin with the one that started it all ‐ Silverstone. Silverstone Circuit is situated next to the village of the same name in Northamptonshire, England. It is one of the tracks with the longest history associated with Formula 1 as it hosted the very first World Championship race in 1950. However, motor racing had gone on there for several years before. The circuit itself was built on the site of a World War II airfield ‐ RAF Silverstone. The site was opened in the early 40s and featured three runways. Racing enthusiasts gathered to use it as a track towards the end of the decade, and in 1948, the Royal Automobile Club (or RAC) began to rent the site for more organised proceedings. Incidentally, the RAC should not be confused with the UK breakdown recovery service. They used to own that company but no longer. The RAC we are interested in has been organising motor races since before 1950, setting up the first non‐F1 British Grand Prix at Brooklands in the 1920s. The racing at Silverstone initially incorporated the runways as part of the track, and hay bales were used to mark the route. The cross formed by the runways and therefore the track meant that at some stages, the cars were heading straight for each other ‐ not exactly an ideal racing layout.

It is located in the East Midlands Region, and includes seven District and Borough Council Administrative Authorities. The greater part of the county retains a strong rural character, and comprises agricultural land and isolated villages, hamlets, and country estates. The landscape bears the marks of changes which have taken place over many hundreds of years, with evidence of agricultural improvement, transport infrastructure, settlement, industry, mining and woodland management.

  • Historic Landscape Charaterisation
    Appendix 6 Analysis – Enclosure Regular Enclosures in Hoggeston parish, Vale of Aylesbury Buckinghamshire Historic Landscape Characterisation Appendix 6 Introduction Enclosed land comprises the most extensive HLC type representing over 72% of the land total. Its main use is for agriculture, a large proportion being for the pasturing of sheep and cattle. The type has a significant impact on aspects of the social and cultural life of the county, where both its form and maintenance are defining characteristics of the aesthetic appeal of the landscape, and is by turn a major influence upon matters such as tourism and planning. Pre 18th Century Enclosure accounts for 32.13% of enclosed land in Buckinghamshire, Parliamentary Enclosure for 28% and Modern Enclosure for 15%. Both the Pre 18th Century (Irregular Enclosure) and Post-Medieval Enclosure types have changed little in the last 150 years, especially when compared with the Modern Enclosure type. Most 20th Century Enclosure is an alteration of a previously enclosed landscape (greatly changed) with just 19% of hectares newly enclosed since the nineteenth century. The HLC mapping (see diagram below) suggests that most of the enclosed landscape has remained largely unchanged for at least 150 years, if not for considerably longer. However, the HLC process did not evaluate the continuing presence of smaller landscape features, such as barns and trees, or the composition of boundary type, boundary size, hedgerows and routeways. Nor did it assess the intrusive features of modern life, such as pylons, new roads, street lighting or other elements leading to the sub-urbanisation of the countryside. These may have a significant impact upon the appearance and condition of the landscape and all play an important part in shaping the landscape visible from the ground.

  • Sheep and Enclosure in Sixteenth-Century Northamptonshire* by JOHN MARTIN
    Sheep and Enclosure in Sixteenth-Century Northamptonshire* By JOHN MARTIN Abstract It is commonly accepted that there was a slackening of the enclosure movement, if not outright reconversion to arable, in England in the latter half of the sixteenth century. This is usually ascribed to lower wool prices making shecp-grazing less attractive. There are difficulties with this pcrspective linking prices and enclosure activity directly. The example of Northampton- shire, a county in the forefront of enclosure, suggests that there was no trend away from sheep-farming. Two surveys of sheep numbers on enclosed pasture, conducted in 1547 and 1564, indicate that sheep-grazing spread throughout the county, and that grazing was concentrated on deserted village sites. Whilc there was some reduction in the size of large flocks, this was more than balanced by the proliferation of smaller flocks - overall sheep numbers increased in this pcriod. By the end of the century, sheep flocks were grazing on enclosed pasture in half of thc parishes in Northamptonshirc. INCE Bowden's detailed work on wool prices was its role in explaining the pattern prices for the period 149o-161o , it of the Tudor enclosure movement. He S has been argued that, after the mid- sought to draw a dividing line down the sixteenth century, lower wool prices rela- middle of the sixteenth century on this tive to those of wheat deflected graziers basis. from sheep-farming and halted the process Thc rcason why farmers were enclosing their land of enclosure, or even caused a considerable for pasture in thc first half of the sixteenth century reconversion of pasture to arable land.
