Two proposals are under consideration: Realignment of the A10 between the proposed new settlement at Denny St Francis and the A14 Creation of a guided busway between the proposed new settlement at Denny St Francis and the A14 The study area comprises the zones shown on the following two plans provided by Capita Symonds (see Appendix 1): Drawing number CS 00182/T/009 Waterbeach New Settlement Limit of Deviation A. (This relates to the A10 road realignment.) Figure 2 Proposed busway corridor The studies have been carried out at a high level using desk based research and brief site visits, viewing the land from publicly accessible locations. Further research and detailed survey will be needed as the project develops. The results of the three studies are presented in separate appendices: Appendix 2 - Landscape notes Appendix 3 - Cultural Heritage Appraisal of the A10 Transport Options Corridor Appendix 4 - Ecological Appraisal of the A10 Transport Corridor This report summarises the main potential constraints identified by each study in order to inform the selection of preferred routes. The perceived level of constraint is defined as follows: High – Avoid. Likely to be a significant constraint. Medium – Avoid if possible. Low – Potential constraint but likely to be resolvable. The main constraints from the three studies are summarised in sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 below, and on drawing 3321_604_A in Appendix 5. 3321_constraints 1 July 2012 Denny St Francis New Settlement, Waterbeach 2.0 Appraisals 2.1. Landscape and visual Landscape and visual assessments of three proposed A10 upgrade route options were undertaken by LDA Design in 2005, summarising landscape character, heritage, conservation and visual constraints. Landscape notes based on GIS data, Tree Preservation Order (TPO) information provided by South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC) and a site visit in 2012 are given on drawing number 3321_603_A in Appendix 2. The plan also identifies some potential constraints that do not strictly relate to landscape or visual issues, including land uses such as a cemetery, allotments and a golf course. The main constraint to development is the Green Belt which extends from Waterbeach to the A14. Section 9 of the National Policy Planning Framework (NPPF) sets out the Government's policy on Green Belts. This superseded Planning Policy Guidance 2: Green Belts (1995) (PPG2) but the fundamental aim and five purposes of Green Belts set out in PPG2 remain unchanged. The NPPF states that: ‘The fundamental aim of Green Belt policy is to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open; the essential characteristics of Green Belts are their openness and their permanence.’ The road and guided busway have potential to affect the openness of the Green Belt. It is not possible for the routes to avoid the Green Belt and it is considered to be a Medium level constraint. Other constraints include: Many dwellings, which are shown on drawing 3321_604_A which should be avoided if possible. They are identified as being a Medium level constraint if they are directly physically affected. Effects on residential amenity due to changes to views would be addressed in a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, although this is considered to be a Low level constraint. Public footpaths running between Waterbeach and the A10. If directly affected, measures would be required to divert or maintain access along these paths. Effects on views from the paths would be addressed in a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment. This is considered to be a Low level constraint. The cemetery pr0vides a constraint to be avoided if possible (Medium level constraint). If it is to be directly affected research would be required to identify how to mitigate effects or move the cemetery. The village of Landbeach is a discrete settlement set within arable farmland and effects on its setting should be considered as part of development proposals. This is considered to be a Low level of constraint. SCDC has confirmed that there are two TPOs within the study area (C/11/17/58/1 at Manor House, Waterbeach Road and SC/3/76 at Cambridge Road, Waterbeach). Although these have been identified as Low level constraints they should be avoided if possible. Other landscape / visual constraints are considered to be Low level. 3321_constraints 2 July 2012 Denny St Francis New Settlement, Waterbeach 2.2. Heritage The heritage study undertaken by Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd is provided in Appendix 3. The main potential constraints identified in the report and summarised on drawing 3321_604_A are: Three Milestones on the A10 (Listed Grade II) - Level of Constraint: High Landbeach Conservation Area, Listed Buildings and Scheduled Monument - Level of Constraint: Medium to low (depending on route) Waterbeach Conservation Area - Level of Constraint: Low Car Dyke - Level of constraint: Low 2.3. Ecology The ecology study undertaken by LDA Design is provided in Appendix 4. The main potential constraint identified in the report and summarised on drawing 3321_604_A is: Cambridge Road Willow Pollards County Wildlife Site - Level of Constraint: Medium The report identifies the potential for protected species within the study area including European Protected Species (EPS) and the need for further surveys. The presence and location of protected species would need to be identified by further survey. Protected species are considered to be Low level constraints because they can be readily be dealt with by design, subject to issues such as land availability if re-location or alternative habitat is required. EPS are also considered to be Low level constraints in this context as it is considered that solutions to address impacts are likely to be readily determined, but EPS will require a greater input into mitigation design than other protected species. 3321_constraints 3 July 2012 Denny St Francis New Settlement, Waterbeach 3.0 Conclusion None of the landscape, heritage and ecology constraints identified are ‘show stoppers’ to realignment of the A10 and creation of a guided busway between the proposed new settlement at Denny St Francis and the A14. This work can be used to help identify preferred routes, taking into account the constraints identified. Further more detailed survey and analysis work will be needed as the design progresses, to help inform detailed design and mitigation proposals. 3321_constraints 4 July 2012 Denny St Francis Appendices Appendix 1.

    HIGHWAY VERGE MANAGEMEN T Planning and Development Note Date 23rd January 2019 Version Number 2 Highway Verge Management Review Date 30th March 2024 Author Geoff Sinclair/Richard Edmonds Highway Verge Management PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT NOTE INTRODUCTION Planning and Development Notes (PDN) aim to review and collate the City Corporation’s (CoL) property management issues for key activities, alongside other management considerations, to give an overview of current practice and outline longer term plans. The information gathered in each report will be used by the CoL to prioritise work and spending, in order to ensure firstly that the COL’s legal obligations are met, and secondly that resources are used in an efficient manner. The PDNs have been developed based on the current resource allocation to each activity. An important part of each PDN is the identification of any potential enhancement projects that require additional support. The information gathered in each report will be used by CoL to prioritise spending as part of the development of the 2019-29 Management Strategy and 2019-2022 Business Plan for Epping Forest. Each PDN will aim to follow the same structure, outlined below though sometimes not all sections will be relevant: Background – a brief description of the activity being covered; Existing Management Program – A summary of the nature and scale of the activity covered; Property Management Issues – a list of identified operational and health and safety risk management issues for the activity; Management Considerations

  • The Praetorium of Edmund Artis: a Summary of Excavations and Surveys of the Palatial Roman Structure at Castor, Cambridgeshire 1828–2010 by STEPHEN G
    Britannia 42 (2011), 23–112 doi:10.1017/S0068113X11000614 The Praetorium of Edmund Artis: A Summary of Excavations and Surveys of the Palatial Roman Structure at Castor, Cambridgeshire 1828–2010 By STEPHEN G. UPEX With contributions by ADRIAN CHALLANDS, JACKIE HALL, RALPH JACKSON, DAVID PEACOCK and FELICITY C. WILD ABSTRACT Antiquarian and modern excavations at Castor, Cambs., have been taking place since the seventeenth century. The site, which lies under the modern village, has been variously described as a Roman villa, a guild centre and a palace, while Edmund Artis working in the 1820s termed it the ‘Praetorium’. The Roman buildings covered an area of 3.77 ha (9.4 acres) and appear to have had two main phases, the latter of which formed a single unified structure some 130 by 90 m. This article attempts to draw together all of the previous work at the site and provide a comprehensive plan, a set of suggested dates, and options on how the remains could be interpreted. INTRODUCTION his article provides a summary of various excavations and surveys of a large group of Roman buildings found beneath Castor village, Cambs. (centred on TL 124 984). The village of Castor T lies 8 km to the west of Peterborough (FIG. 1) and rises on a slope above the first terrace gravel soils of the River Nene to the south. The underlying geology is mixed, with the lower part of the village (8 m AOD) sitting on both terrace gravel and Lower Lincolnshire limestone, while further up the valley side the Upper Estuarine Series and Blisworth Limestone are encountered, with a capping of Blisworth Clay at the top of the slope (23 m AOD).1 The slope of the ground on which the Roman buildings have been arranged has not been emphasised enough or even mentioned in earlier accounts of the site.2 The current evidence suggests that substantial Roman terracing and the construction of revetment or retaining walls was required to consolidate the underlying geology.

  • Chapter 16 Marholm Village and Buildings
    Chapter 16 Marholm Village and Buildings History of the Village Marholm village lies approximately four miles West of Peterborough and one mile from the seat of the Fitzwilliam family at Milton Hall. The parish covers some fourteen hundred acres, with the village positioned roughly in the centre. Today it remains a peaceful, largely agricultural community of some two hundred people. Although during the past fifty years the domination of agriculture has diminished, the village retains a rural feel, and in many ways is unchanged from its earlier history, despite the modern development, and proximity to a burgeoning city. To a large extent, this tranquillity has been preserved by the protection derived from Milton Estate, which has retained ownership of much of the property in the village. In addition, the Estate has curtailed further encroachment from the city beyond Mucklands Wood to the East, which delineates the border of Milton’s sales, in the 1960s, of land to the Peterborough Development Corporation for the expansion of the city. The name of the village most probably derives from ‘mere’, meaning pool, and ‘ham’, or settlement, and may refer to the pools by the Manor House. During the Middle Ages, the name was alternatively Marham, Marreham, Marrenham, Mareham, Morham and Marhome. By the 18th century it was commonly referred to as Marham and later known by the present spelling, Marholm [1]. Early History The early history of the village is obscure, with few known archaeological sites. Not surprisingly, however, in view of its proximity to the flourishing Roman settlement in Castor, there is some evidence of their presence in the area now embraced by Marholm.

  • Malton Political Associations
    Political connections Malton has been associated with national politics since its origin. It returned 2 MPs to Parliament from 1640-1832, and one from 1833-1885. The MPs’ identities reflected not only local but national power relationships throughout this period. Eustace Fitzjohn delivered the castles of Alnwick and Malton to the army of David, king of Scotland who was fighting in support of the claim of Maud, his niece, to the crown held by King Stephen. The Scots garrison at Malton castle was removed by an army of northern nobles under the direction of Archbishop Thurstan of York, who then burned the town in retribution for its affiliation during this, the first English civil war, some would say. Eustace Fitzjohn returned from temporary exile in Scotland to begin rebuilding and fortifying the town and its castle site. Whilst not overtly involved in national politics, the Eures were important regional players, being Lords of various Marches, and several of the male line died in battle – at Towton during the wars of the roses; at Ancram Moor, the culmination of a Eure-led military rampage across southern Scotland which had included the burning and sacking of Edinburgh and Melrose; at Marston Moor, fighting for the Royalist cause, during the English Civil War. Sir William Eure was born 1485 and knighted ‘beneath the banner’ at Tournay in 1513. He was the Sheriff of County Durham 1519-23, of Northumberland, 1526-27 and Lieutenant of the Middle Marches after 1522. By 1538, he was Captain of the town and castle of Berwick and Warden of the East Marches and was a member of the Council of the North after 1540.

  • Fabian Summer Walk – Some Background Notes
    Fabian Summer Walk – Some Background Notes Alwalton – Some history Traces of early man have been found. In Roman times a building of some kind evidently existed at Alwalton, and various coins and pieces of pottery, etc., have been found. King Edred granted the land at Alwalton in 955 to his thegn Aelfsige Hunlafing. It was afterwards given to the Abbey of Peterborough, which held Alwalton at the time of the Conquest. Alwalton was listed in the Domesday Book [1086] as “Alwoltune”. It records that there were 20 households with a population between 70 and 100. In the 2011 census the population was 317. Alwalton used to be in the administrative county of Huntingdonshire until 1965. Apparently locals are still fiercely loyal to the old county – or at least identify with it as a shire district, rather than Cambridgeshire.
