Please reverse the decision on the Dene adn Manor Park ward boundariues decision and choose Newcastle Council’s Option 1 for area C as this is more in line with our communities and services. Thank you, Karon Alderman 1 ‐‐ Jonathan Ashby Review Assistant LGBCE From: Sent: 19 August 2016 13:07 To: reviews <[email protected]> Subject: Draft recommendations for Newcastle City Council Good Morning, I have attached an extract from your document concerning the above issue which is a little confusing - apologies if you are already aware of this.. As I reside in North Walbottle I have always thought that we have little in common with the existing Newburn ward and fully support the creation of a new Chapel ward and North Walbottle's inclusion within it. However, on reading the document, there is an apparent contradiction (which I assume is a simple slip of the pen/keyboard) - I have highlighted the error in yellow, and which should read simply Walbottle and not North Walbottle? Thank you.

What sort of standards, and how to apply them. 1.2 Without standards there is no baseline against which provision can be measured. It is difficult to make a case against a proposal to build on or change the use of existing open space or a case for open space to be included in a development scheme if there are no clear and agreed standards. 1.3 Standards are used to define how much open space is needed, particularly when planning new developments. Local authority planning and leisure departments have developed standards of provision and these have been enshrined in policy and guidance documents.

The home offers scope to personalise and create the perfect family home, complimented by its close proximity to Leazes Park and Newcastle City Centre. The property begins with an entrance vestibule, leading into the welcoming hallway which provides access to the main rooms of the ground floor. The ground floor itself is comprised of a spacious living room, benefitting from a feature fireplace and double door access flowing through to the dining room, with a feature log burning fireplace. From the dining room there is an open plan aspect into the modern kitchen which provides fitted storage units. There is also access to the downstairs WC from the kitchen. To the first floor of the property there are two of the five generously sized bedrooms, as well as a large three piece family bathroom. Flowing up to the second floor is the remaining three bedrooms and fitted storage space on the landing. Newcastle upon Tyne is a beautiful city on the River Tyne in northeast of England. With its twin city, Gateshead, it was a major shipbuilding and manufacturing hub during the Industrial Revolution and is now a centre of business, arts and sciences. Spanning the Tyne, modern Gateshead Millennium Bridge, noted for its unique tilting aperture, is a symbol of the two cities. It has excellent shopping amenities, as well as nearby schooling. £320,000 Measurements: LIVING ROOM 15'7 X 13'0 DINING ROOM 16'11 X 13'1 KITCHEN 11'11 X 10'6 WC 8'8 X 3'1 BEDROOM ONE 16'8 X 15'5 BEDROOM TWO 16'6 X 10'5 BATHROOM 10'0 X 7'3 BEDROOM THREE 11'7 X 10'4 BEDROOM FOUR 11'5 X 11'3 BEDROOM FIVE 8'6 X 6'6 EPC Rating D .

  • Town Moor Hoppings
    Town Moor Hoppings Local Studies Factsheet No. 3 In 1357 King Edward III granted a charter to the town of Newcastle upon Tyne con- firming possession of the Town Moor - 89 Acres of common land. Today the City has approximately 1,000 acres of Moor, including Nun's Moor, Duke's Moor and Little Benton. The section known as the Town Moor, near Grand- stand Road, covers 349 acres. The Moor is controlled jointly by Newcastle City Council, who own the land and the Freemen of the City, who have grazing rights. 300-400 cows currently graze on the land. Events held on the land require consent of both parties. Income, generated by letting, is used to maintain and improve the land although a small amount of the income is donated to charity. The greatest amount of revenue is raised by the annual fair commonly known as the “Hoppings" this name derives from the hopping or dancing which occurred at old fairs. The Hoppings is a major event in the North East; showmen travel from all over the country to attend. It is said to be the largest non-permanent fair in the world, perhaps because unlike many similar fairs held in streets, this one is in a large open space covering 28-30 acres. The amusements have changed from steam driven, ornately carved and decorated roundabouts to the white knuckle rides of today but the fair re- mains a temperance event. The fair is always held during the last full week in June. SIGNIFICANT DATES 1721 The annual horse racing meeting, usually held in Northumberland, was transferred to the Town Moor.
