Rural Leicestershire has a relatively smaller stock of jobs than the county as a whole and the England and Wales average in terms of job density. Rural Leicestershire is 30% of the population of the County – it is growing older more rapidly than the County and has a more steeply declining trend of young people than the County. The rural areas in Leicestershire’s districts are growing more slowly in terms of population than the districts as a whole.

  • Thurnby and Bushby
    Harborough District Council Settlement Profile: Thurnby and Bushby May 2015 General Introduction This settlement profile has been prepared as part of the evidence base for the preparation of the new Local Plan. The new Local Plan, which will cover the period 2011 – 2031, will review and replace existing Core Strategy policies. New evidence in the Strategic Housing Market Assessment (2014) shows that the number of new homes needed annually across the District to 2031 is substantially higher than the figure set out in the Core Strategy. The new Local Plan will set out a strategy to meet these higher housing numbers, whilst ensuring that sustainable economic development is supported, infrastructure is delivered, local communities are protected, environmental capacity is respected, the quality of the built environment and heritage assets are protected and the level of development is not disproportionate to the size of the settlement and the level of services. This profile seeks to summarise currently available evidence in relation to the settlement which, along with other evidence, will be used in determining the appropriate amount of development to be directed to the settlement to 2031. The profile does not seek to set out future policy as this will be done through the new Local Plan and any reference to Core Strategy policies is to provide context only. Section D of the profile sets out the findings of the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) for the settlement. It should be noted that the sites shown are not allocations and their inclusion in no way implies that planning permission for housing will be granted.

  • Leicestershire Yeoman Families and Their Pedigrees by W
    I • LEICESTERSHIRE YEOMAN FAMILIES AND THEIR PEDIGREES BY W. G. HOSKINS, M.Sc. (Econ), Ph.D. Leicestershire Yeoman Families and their Pedigrees by W. G. Hoskins, M.Sc. (Econ.), Ph.D. I TRACING the pedigree of an ordinary yeoman family, and more people now alive in England are descended from the yeomen than from any other class, is one of the most fascinating pursuits conceivable. The old motives which led people to enquire into the past history of their families, and to trace their descent, are mostly gone: the desire to acquire a better descent than one really had, to go back to some noble ancestor of the same name; or the desire "to attach new names to old acres" as it has been so aptly described. Both these motives led searcrcers, or those who were employed by them, to make unjustifiable assumptions at critical points in the descent, to guess where one could not know, and (at the worst, though this was rare) to invent new data or to distort e:,,,.isting facts in order to establish a distinguished but false pedigree. But all this pretentious activity has disappeared, or nearly so, and has been replaced by a pure interest in the origin of one's family whatever it may have been. This being so, genealogy has become a much more scientific pursuit, in which every single statement is, or should be, supported by a verifiable reference to a record of some description, and in which assumptions are made only with the greatest reluctance and where the circumstantial evidence is very strong.

  • Houghton on the Hill Settlement Profile Introduction
    Houghton on the Hill Settlement Profile Introduction General Location: Houghton on the Hill (hereby referred to as Houghton) lies some seven miles east of the centre of Leicester, straddling the A47. It is equidistant between its closest neighbours Billesdon and Thurnby also on the A47. Houghton occupies a northern position in Harborough District, lying close to the boundary with Leicester City. Market Harborough is some 15 miles away to the south. Houghton parish’s most immediate neighbours are Thurnby and Stoughton to the west, Hungarton to the north, Billesdon to the east, and Frisby, Gaulby, Kings Norton and Little Stretton to the south. The bulk of the village is located to the south of the A47, with the historic clustering of activity along Main Street still being evident despite recent development. The parish area spreads approximately 1 mile north to south, and 3 miles east to west – it is one of the larger parishes in the Harborough District. A number of tributaries of Bushby Brook originate to the south west of the village before flowing westerly out of the parish. The River Sence passes through the south eastern side of the parish before forming the majority of Houghton’s southerly border and flowing on towards Great Glen. As discussed, Houghton’s Main Street served as the historical centre of the village, lined by numerous 17th, 18th and 19th century buildings that comprise part of the Conservation Area. The village maintained its concentration around this area until shortly after WWII, where the arrival of four consecutive housing developments throughout 1950 – 1980 effectively tripled Houghton’s population from 600 to 1500.
