  • Tetbury and Tetbury Upton Neighbourhood Plan 2015-2030 Referendum Version October 2017
    Tetbury and Tetbury Upton Neighbourhood Plan 2015-2030 Referendum Version October 2017 1 Neighbourhood Plan Area – designated 1st August 2013 Tetbury and Tetbury Upton Neighbourhood Plan Referendum Version October 2017 2 FOREWORD. Welcome to the Tetbury and Tetbury Upton Neighbourhood Plan. The Tetbury Neighbourhood Plan Working Group have carried out a huge amount of work to produce this Neighbourhood Plan which encompasses all the key planning issues that will affect the town in the future. Neighbourhood Plans are a new type of planning document following on from The Localism Act (2011) which introduced Neighbourhood Development Plans as policies that focus on local planning and give communities the opportunity to become involved in their future. For some years now Tetbury has been discussing what shape the town should take into the future, ‘Planning for Real’ was probably the first public consultation that gave townspeople the opportunity to describe their forward vision and following this there have been a number of public consultations and workshops that have contributed to the content of this plan. Discussions have also taken place with planning professionals, landowners, developers, local organisations, local health professionals, neighbouring parish councils and the District Council. The proposals that result from these discussions are in this document and they will determine the way that our town can develop into the future. The Tetbury community now has a chance to approve the plan in a referendum. Tetbury Town Council is very grateful for the huge amount of work carried out by the Neighbourhood Plan Working Group without their commitment and dedication we would not have such a quality document that reflects joint working between many local organisations and the community consultations.

  • G-GLO2 Section 106 Legal Agreements.Pdf
    Rural-Urban Outlooks: Unlocking Synergies (ROBUST) ROBUST receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 727988.* September 2018 Gloucestershire County Council Carey Stevens, Simon Excell [email protected] and [email protected] Rural-Urban Governance Arrangements and Planning Instruments Section 106 Legal Agreements Gloucestershire, UK 1. Overview District councils in Gloucestershire deal with nearly all planning applications for development including new homes, offices, factories and shops. However, Gloucestershire County Council is responsible for much of the infrastructure and services needed to make the built environment function properly. Section 106 (S106) Legal Agreements are agreements made between a planning authority (county and/or district council) and a developer/owner. These agreements contain obligations linked to a strategic development site which are required to mitigate the impact of the development. For example, if a development is likely to create more traffic, there may be obligations, either financial or non-financial, to carry out highways improvement works, or, to ensure that a proportion of houses within the development are available as ‘affordable housing’. As Gloucestershire is a ‘two-tier’ authority these agreements can be between the strategic authority, Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) and the developer or, between GCC, the district authority and the developer. Currently S106 contributions received in Gloucestershire are used to support highways, transportation, libraries and education infrastructure. 2. Main Challenges There are two main challenges in Gloucestershire: ˃ The delay between a Section 106 Legal agreement being drawn up, the development being commenced and the contributions being received from the developer.

This is our February issue, with lots of material that is sure to kick -start your magazine into February-themed stories such as Valen- tine’s Day and Lent. May God bless you and keep you in the months ahead. He alone is our refuge and strength when times get tough. May we continue to do our work for Him in the grace which He alone can provide. Stay safe and stay alert - Warm wishes from Your Editors - Niki and Phil When is spring sprung? To live is to grow and to flourish There is a philosophic puzzle, called the Sorites paradox, which wonders how many grains of sand are required to distinguish a heap of sand from a pile of individual sand grains. Logic suggests that if individual grains are added one by one there must be a precise point when the indi- vidual grains suddenly becomes a heap of sand. Asking the question when has spring begun or arrived is a similar sort of question. On our daily exercise trips outside the house we can delight in noticing the signs of spring; the first snowdrops, the first daffodils.

APPLICATION REF: 09/04214/OUT LAND AT TODENHAM ROAD, MORETON IN MARSH, GLOUCESTERSHIRE GL54 9NL 1. I am directed by the Secretary of State to say that consideration has been given to the report of the Inspector, Jessica Graham BA(Hons) PgDipL, who held a public local inquiry which opened on 26 October 2010, into your client’s appeal under Section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against the decision of Cotswold District Council to refuse outline planning permission for the erection of up to 300 dwellings, open space and associated infrastructure, on land at Todenham Road, Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire, GL56 9NL, in accordance with planning application ref: 09/04214/OUT, dated 8 December 2009. 2. The appeal was recovered for the Secretary of State’s determination on 24 August 2010, in pursuance of section 79 of, and paragraph 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, because the proposal involves residential development over 150 units or on sites of over 5 hectares which would significantly impact on the Government’s objective to secure a better balance between housing demand and supply and create high quality, sustainable, mixed and inclusive communities. Inspector’s recommendation and summary of the decision 3. The Inspector, whose report is enclosed with this letter, recommended that the appeal be dismissed and planning permission refused.

On 25 March 1988, we submitted to your predecessor our Report No 547, which contained our final proposals for changes to the administrative boundaries of the City of Gloucester, the Boroughs of Cheltenham and Tewkesbury and the Districts of Cotswold and Stroud. 2. In that report, we stated that we had made no proposals to deal with the electoral conseguences of the proposed boundary changes, and that our final proposals for consequential changes to electoral arrangements would be the subject of a separate report. In view of the nature and extent of the electoral consequences, we decided that they ought to be advertised separately in order to give local authorities and residents affected by them a full opportunity to comment. 3. In your Department's letter of 13 June 1989, we were informed of the then Minister for Local Government's decision, on behalf of the Secretary of State, to modify the proposals made in our Report No 547.
