This update reflects changes to the planning system and explains how the Study will be used in conjunction with the new Local Plan. Project Overview Background 1.1 In 2006 East Staffordshire was identified by central government as a New Growth Point in the announcements of the New Growth Point Programme. The aim of the initiative was to bring significant benefits to the Borough in terms of strategic growth and associated infrastructure investment from central government. 1.2 The allocation of New Growth Point funding was conditional upon the establishment of a suitable evidence base for the consideration of the overall effects of strategic growth upon the Borough and the selection of suitable growth locations. This evidence base comprises an understanding of the likely interaction of growth with (but not exclusively to) transport, flood risk, water cycle and green infrastructure. 1.3 This report forms the component outputs for the green infrastructure evidence base. It provides evidence to help inform the selection of potential locations for growth in the Borough, and identifies and addresses existing and anticipated future green infrastructure deficits. The report also provides vision and opportunities to achieve a significant net gain in green infrastructure value across the Borough through the creation, enhancement and sustainable management of new and existing resources. Strategic Growth and Regeneration 1.4 East Staffordshire possesses a diverse urban and rural economy which has undergone a significant period of growth in recent years, with employment growing by 20% since 1998. Economic prosperity is still constrained, however, by issues such as an over reliance on manufacturing and low value added service sectors, a low wage economy and a lack of economic opportunity in areas of multiple deprivation. The need has therefore been identified to stimulate regeneration and economic growth by creating and regenerating large scale development sites and by developing infrastructure to attract quality housing, high value industries and to facilitate job creation, especially in higher value sectors. 1.5 To address these issues East Staffordshire aims to deliver a sustainable development strategy between 2012 and 2031 which will facilitate the construction of around 11,643 homes and 30 hectares of high quality premium employment land. 1.6 A significant proportion of this strategic growth will be directed towards the Burton area but Uttoxeter is also expected to grow further. 1.7 Within these ambitions remain a clear expression of improvements to existing green infrastructure including the conservation and enhancement of the natural environment, urban green spaces, canals and rivers. Burton upon Trent’s position as the capital of the National Forest will be a major driving force in its future development. 1 What is Green Infrastructure? 1.8 The term “green infrastructure” is relatively new, having been developed in the USA and been initially adopted in the UK during the planning stage of the Thames Gateway Growth Area. While the term is new, the principles underlying it have been recognised in varying forms for many years, the most well-known early example in the UK being Ebenezer Howard’s Garden City movement of the early 20 Century. 1.9 Green infrastructure comprises networks of multi-functional open space, at all scales. Its fundamental principles are therefore the multi-functionality of open space resources, to enable them to maximise public benefit, and the connectivity of these resources into functional networks to ensure that the overall value of the network is greater than the sum of its component parts. 1.10 Green infrastructure encompasses all open space elements within rural and urban landscapes. Examples include: Watercourses Playing fields Nature reserves Cemeteries Footpaths Hedgerows Amenity landscaping Woodland 1.11 Green infrastructure is recognised for its improvement of the “liveability” of areas; improving their attractiveness to residents, employees, visitors and investors and promoting physical and mental well-being through its use and enjoyment. 1.12 A more comprehensive definition of green infrastructure within the West Midlands is provided by “Green Infrastructure: A Prospectus for the West Midlands Region”.1 Aims and Scope Aims 1.13 The overall purpose of this study is to provide a long term vision for green infrastructure within East Staffordshire to ensure that the strategic growth of the Borough is fully integrated with and informed by its green infrastructure and to ensure that no net loss of green infrastructure value or provision occurs. The vision will also address the improvement of green infrastructure within the rural areas of the Borough and the maintenance and improvement of connectivity between the Borough’s urban and rural areas. 1.14 The study has five specific aims, which each have a dedicated chapter: To provide a robust evidence base for the analysis of growth locations To provide opportunities to enhance existing and provide new green infrastructure To provide a set of green infrastructure standards outlining what is required for a high quality environment associated with new development To outline how development could and should help to enhance green infrastructure 2 To identify likely required mitigation Scope of Study 1.15 This study has been undertaken at two scales: Borough scale and town scale. 1.16 At the Borough scale, the whole of East Staffordshire has been assessed, focusing on those natural assets which deliver significant green infrastructure value, providing multi-functional value to the whole population of the Borough. 1.17 At the town scale the two growth towns of Burton upon Trent and Uttoxeter have been studied individually in the context of their future growth. At this scale all areas of green space within the towns have been studied and assessed for their green infrastructure value and existing greenspace deficits against national standards have been identified. Report Structure 1.18 The structure of this document is shown below.

LORO OF' THE MAtt0R OF HEATH HAVES STAFFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL, EDUCATION DEPAR TMENT. IN APPRECIATION It is with regret that this booklet will be the last venture produced by the Staffordshire Authority under the inspiration and guidance of Mr. R.A. Lewis, as historical resource material for schools. Publi­ cation of the volume coincides with the retirement of Roy Lewis, a former Headteacher of Lydney School, Gloucestershire, after some 21 years of service in the Authority as County Inspector for History. When it was first known that he was thinking of a cessation of his Staffordshire duties, a quick count was made of our piles of his 'source books' . Our stock of his well known 'Green Books' (Local History Source Books) and 'Blue Books' (Teachers Guides and Study Books) totalled, amazingly, just over 100 volumes, ·a mountain of his­ torical source material ' made available for use within our schools - a notable achievement. Stimulating, authoritative and challenging, they have outlined our local historical heritage in clear and concise form, and have brought the local history of Staffordshire to the prominence that it justly deserves. These volumes have either been written by him or employed the willing­ ly volunteered services of Staffordshire teachers. Whatever the agency behind the pen it is obvious that forward planning, correlation of text and pictorial aspects, financial considerations for production runs, organisation of print-run time with a busy print room, distri­ bution of booklets throughout Staffordshire schools etc.

  • Proceedings Wesley Historical Society
    Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: E. ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume 56 May 2007 SIDELIGHTS ON THE ORIGINS OF PRIMITIVE METHOD ISM IN NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE n May this year many Methodists will make their pilgrimage to Mow Cop to celebrate the bicentenary of the first English Camp I Meeting, following in the footsteps of their forebears who came on their hajj to the Jubilee, Centenary, and 150th anniversary camp meetings. The rugged landscape of Mow Cop, together with the romantic nostalgia generated at each of the big anniversary celebrations, has done much to create the popular image of Primitive Methodism. More than that it has influenced the way that religious and social historians interpret what they perceive to be the natural birth place of Primitive Methodism. In a recent radio programme, Professor Robert CoIls encapsulated this in his explanation of why the first camp meeting was held at Mow Cop. This is a theological landscape - a landscape in a tradition - a tradition not just of Wesley speaking to people but I suppose even right back into the New Testament and Jesus's Sermon on the Mount where he takes a commanding prospect and can look down upon the world. There is this wonderful sense of command which people like Bourne and Clowes wanted. The other thing is, as centres such as the English Local Studies Centre at Leicester have shown that dispersed settlements such as this, moorland fell, coastal settlements, were incredibly attractive to Primitive Methodism, because the kind of people that controlled England then did not control things up here.

They and their fathers before them have grown up with, lived with, made and developed the English pottery trade. The pot-bank and the shard ruck are, to them, as familiar, and as full of old associations, as the cowshed to the countryman or the nets along the links to the fishing popula- tion. To them any history of the development of their industry will be welcome. But potting is such a specialized industry, so confined to and associated with North Stafford- shire, that it is possible to study very clearly in the case of this industry the cause of its localization, and its gradual change from a home to a factory business.
