Introduction 1.1 The Site Allocations and Policies Development Plan Document (DPD) is one of a series of documents that are being prepared as part of Rutland’s Local Plan. 1.2 The Local Plan comprises a folder of documents (see diagram below) that will replace existing policies in the Rutland Local Plan (2001) and the Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Waste Local Plan and provide planning policies for Rutland for the period to 2026 and beyond. 1.3 The Core Strategy DPD was found to be sound following public examination in March 2011 and was adopted by the Council on 11 July 2011. The Minerals Core Strategy and Development Control Policies DPD was adopted by the Council in October 2010. 1.4 The purpose of the Site Allocations and Policies DPD is to allocate specific sites for development and to set out more detailed policies for determining planning applications within the overall strategy provided by the Core Strategy. 1.5 When adopted, the Site Allocations and Policies DPD will become part of the statutory development plan which provides the planning framework for the Council’s decisions on future planning applications in Rutland. 1.6 A list of the existing Local Plan policies that are being replaced by the Site Allocations and Policies DPD is included in Appendix 6. Diagram: The Local Plan 3 Site Allocations and Policies DPD – Proposed Submission Document April 2013 1.7 The DPD has been subject to a sustainability appraisal and Habitats Regulations Assessment which considered the anticipated effects of the proposals on the area’s environmental, economic and social conditions and changes made to the document as a result. 1.8 When using the plan it must be read as a whole as a number of different policies may apply to a particular site or issue. The policies of the plan should not be read in isolation from each other. Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan 1.9 A separate Neighbourhood Plan for Uppingham is being prepared by Uppingham Town Council. This will cover Uppingham town and parts of the surrounding area and will be subject to separate consultation, examination and referendum under the Neighbourhood Planning process. 1.10 The Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan will consider proposals for residential, employment and other land use allocations in its area and allocate sites where appropriate. Consequently no sites are allocated for development in Uppingham in this Site Allocations and Policies DPD although all other policies of the plan will apply in this area. 1.11 Sites for residential and employment development in Uppingham that were previously identified in the Preferred Options version of this Site Allocations and Policies DPD are not carried forward in this version of the plan but will be put forward to Uppingham Town Council together with the responses to consultation that have been received for consideration through the Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan. 1.12 In the event that the Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan does not address the need to allocate residential and employment sites in its area or if the Plan fails to pass the public examination and referendum processes, a review of the Rutland Local Plan (to commence in 2014) will consider the issues and may allocate sites if required. What are we consulting on? 1.13 Following consultation on the “Preferred Options” document in October-November 2012 the Council is now seeking comments on the final version of the document that it intends to submit to the government for public examination. 1.14 The purpose of this consultation is to seek comments on whether the document is “sound” in terms of being positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent with national policy. 1.15 The consultation period runs from 18 April until 4.45 pm

Action plan 3 INTRODUCTION PARISH PLANS Parish plans are part of the “Vital Villages” initiative of the Countryside Agency, run locally through the Rural Community Council (Leicestershire & Rutland). A Parish Plan should provide a picture of a village, identifying through consultation the concerns and needs of its residents. From the plan villages should identify actions to improve the village and the life of the community. The resulting Village Action Plan is then used to inform the County Council, through the Parish Council. Parish Plans have a statutory place in local government. GREAT CASTERTON PARISH PLAN Great Casterton’s Parish Plan started with a meeting of villagers in June 2002. There was particular interest because of a contentious planning decision imposed by the County Council on the village. The Community Development Officer for Rutland, Adele Stainsby, explained the purpose of the plan and the benefits for the village. A committee was formed, and a constitution drawn up. The Parish Council promised a small initial grant while an application for Countryside Agency funding was prepared. The money granted was to be balanced by the voluntary work of villagers.

  • Shared Ownership – Sales, Re-Sales and Allocations Policy
    Shared Ownership – Sales, Re-sales and Allocations Policy 1. Introduction This policy outlines Uppingham Homes Community Land Trust (UHCLT) approach to the sale and allocation of shared ownership homes. Shared Ownership provides a solution to the housing needs of those who would otherwise not be eligible for social housing nor be able to buy on the open market. Such households often work in sectors where incomes have not kept pace with increases in house prices. Our focus is on young people classed as being under the age of 35 with a local connection (residence, family or employment) to the Rutland parishes of Preston, Wing, Glaston, Bisbrooke, Seaton, Lyddington, Thorpe By Water, Caldecott, Stoke Dry, Belton, Wardley, Ridlington, Ayston and Uppingham. This policy supports UHCLT obligations relating to sales allocations in accordance with the Homes England Capital Funding Guide. 2. Aims • To establish a sales process that is non-discriminatory and responsive to demand, while contributing to the need to be inclusive and ensure sustainable communities. • To establish an efficient, transparent, fair and effectively controlled basis for the acceptance and processing of applications for low cost home ownership. • To provide a system of prioritising applicants ensuring that homes are allocated to people in housing need and to those whom shared ownership is an appropriate solution. • To ensure UHCLT meets its social objectives whilst recognising the financial importance of selling properties promptly. Shared Ownership Sales, Re-sales and Allocations Policy March 2020 • To ensure that UHCLT complies with all financial and regulatory controls including those set out in the Homes England Capital Funding Guide.

  • LIST of SCHEDULED MONUMENTS in LEICESTERSHIRE and RUTLAND (To 31 March 1956)
    LIST OF SCHEDULED MONUMENTS IN LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLAND (to 31 March 1956) This list has been compiled with the co-operation of the Ancient Monuments Division of the Ministry of Works. A Monument under Guardianship is one for the conservation of which the Ministry accepts responsibility. A Scheduled Monument is protected in that no alterations of any kind may be made to it (including ploughing and excavation) without three months' notice being given to the Ministry. It is then open to the Ministry to take steps to secure the permanent preservation of the monument, or alternatively to allow its destruction after suitable excavation or recording has been carried out. It is emphasised that scheduling implies no right of access to the general public, and permission should always be sought before entering any property. The Hon. Secretary of the Leicestershire Arch::eological and Historical Society will be grateful for suggestions regarding suitable additions to this list. The Act excludes churches and chapels in regular use and houses in occupation. In the list below, all monuments (other than those in Leicester itself) =1r.e referred to by the civil parishes in which they are located, the name of the c1V1l parish being given in italics: e.g., Lockingion-Hemington. LEICESTERSHIRE I. MONUMENTS UNDER GUARDIANSHIP All open to the public. A printed guide-book is available to each. The Jewry Wall, Leicester. Roman. Admission free.

  • The Rove Beetles of Leicestershire and Rutland
    LEICESTERSHIRE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Rove Beetles (Staphylinidae) of Leicestershire and Rutland Part 1: Sub-families Paederinae, Pseudopsinae and Staphylininae Derek A. Lott Creophilus maxillosus (Graham Calow) LESOPS 24 (2011) ISSN 0957 – 1019 Correspondence: 5 Welland Road, Barrow upon Soar, LE12 8NA VC55 Staphylinids Part 1 2 Introduction With over 56,000 described species in the world, the Staphylinidae are the largest family in the animal kingdom (Grebennikov & Newton, 2009). Around a quarter of the British beetles are rove beetles, so they represent an important component of biodiversity in Britain. However, because of perceived difficulties in their identification, they have not received the attention that they merit. This paper aims to play a part in redressing that imbalance by listing all reliable records from Leicestershire and Rutland for the different species and analysing which species have declined locally over 100 years of recording rove beetles and which have prospered. The subfamilies treated in this first part include the largest and most conspicuous species in the family. The geographical area covered is the vice county of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55). Some records from adjacent banks of the River Soar that technically lie in Nottinghamshire are also included. These records can be distinguished by the use of Nottinghamshire parish names. Identification Staphylinidae can be easily recognised among beetles in the field by their short wing cases that leave five or six segments of the abdomen exposed and flexible. In fact they look more like earwigs than other beetles. For identification to species, all the members of the subfamilies in this part will be covered by the forthcoming Royal Entomological Society handbook to Staphylinidae parts 6 and 7 due for publication in 2011.

He thought that the ice-sheet was general over the northern part of the British Isles, and on a much larger scale than was usually admitted-- and that one of the obstacles to its recognition was the later glacia- tion along the valleys, which was more conspicuous than the older traces, and another the difficulty which some people had in ignoring the present coast-line. Mr. J. CLIFTOI~"WARD stated that in the northern parts of the Lake district he had found that the direction of the ice-flow must have been mainly to the north. The AVT~OR, in reply, remarked that in Greenland, whatever might theoretically be the case, ice is pushed for scores or hun- dreds of miles down into the sea, until it gets out of its depth, and eventually floats off as icebergs. He pointed out the correspondence of the main valleys of Ireland with glaciations on the surface of rocks from Scotland, and exhibited specimens and rubbings in illus- tration of various characters of weathering and wear from different natural causes.
