  • Rural Settlement List 2014
    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.

  • Advisory Visit Cound Brook, Shropshire June 2020
    Advisory Visit Cound Brook, Shropshire June 2020 Author: Tim Jacklin ([email protected], tel. 07876 525457) 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the Cound Brook at Eaton Mascott Estate, Shropshire, on 10th June 2020. Comments in this report are based on observations during the site visit and discussions with the landowner. Normal convention is applied with respect to bank identification, i.e. left bank (LB) or right bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Upstream and downstream references are often abbreviated to u/s and d/s, respectively, for convenience. The Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference system is used for identifying specific locations. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The section of the Cound Brook visited is located approximately 4km upstream of its confluence with the River Severn between Atcham and Cressage, south of Shrewsbury. A section of both the Cound Brook and its tributary the Row Brook were inspected upstream of their confluence. The geology of the area is sedimentary bedrock (Salop Formation – mudstone and sandstone, formed approximately 272 to 310 million years ago in the Permian and Carboniferous Periods1), with superficial deposits of river alluvium and glacial till. Soils in the vicinity are sandy and easily eroded. Combined with potato and maize cultivation, this tends to lead to excessive levels of fine sediment reaching the watercourses. In order to meet the requirements of the Water Framework Directive, the Environment Agency monitor the quality of watercourses using a number of measured parameters including plant, algae, invertebrate and fish populations, along with physical and chemical measures.

Any items received on the day of Committee will be reported verbally to the meeting Item No. Application No. Originator: Item No. Application No. Originator: 5 19/05560/OUT Buildwas PC – further comments The development of former Ironbridge power station site presents major problems primarily due to its geographical position. It is contrary to findings and advice found in the document ‘Transport for New Homes.’ If this guidance were adopted and followed the development would not go ahead. Aspects of ‘a fifteen-minute neighbourhood’ are proposed e.g. school, local, shop etc. The relationship to the surrounding area is the problem. If the development it is to proceed these issues should be addressed: - with regard to both private and public transport - Arguments regarding the impracticability surrounding an additional 2000 vehicles using this geographically restricted site on the available road systems recorded elsewhere. - Connectivity for cycle tracks is poor, meaning cyclists once off the redeveloped site must take a chance on main roads. - The same is true for pedestrians unless travelling to Ironbridge. - If the plan for 1000 new homes were to go ahead a reduction of the two-car per family dependence should be encouraged. This might be achieved by an electric minibus route to both Shrewsbury and Telford. However, it may be difficult to implement this successfully from an isolated developed area with single destinations. (encouraging take up poses some problems) - Encouraging cycling and walking - cycleways and pedestrian links these should be perceived as ‘safe routes’ overlooked by houses, public buildings etc - Safe lock ups for cycles readily available - Minimise visual impact of vehicles around new houses - an obligation to emphasise sustainable travel options in sales material to encouraging travel options to be considered.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.
