Whetstone Pastures 2 3 Whetstone Pastures Executive Summary WHETSTONE PASTUR ES DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTUS FOREWORD Private and public sector working together. If you are reading this, then you have already taken the first step towards getting involved in what I feel is a unique and exciting opportunity. Blaby District is a great place to live, as you’ll discover when you read on, and an area which we are committed to making Cllr Terry Richardson, Leader of the Council even better. Our residents and businesses are happy and prospering and our economy is strong, but we know that we can’t be complacent and have to look to the future in order to meet the needs of our communities. Going forward we will need to provide additional housing, jobs, roads, schools and places to stay healthy and relax. We are a forward-thinking organisation, and keen to support growth where it is sustainable and deliverable. I believe that this project is a great opportunity to do just that. It will see the creation of a brand new community in the right place, at the right time, and with the infrastructure needed. We already have a strong partnership around the table, and a clear delivery strategy in place which I am confident we will deliver. We now need the right development partner in place so that we can make it happen. This is an exciting time for Blaby and we hope you will consider being part of it. Thank you for your interest, and for taking the time to read this, and we look forward to discussing this opportunity with you very soon. Site boundary for indicative purposes only.

    HarboroughLutterworth and NewsletterBroughton Astley Issue Issue 28: 2: 28.02.2019June 2021 Latest news updates Easing of Lockdown The easing of lockdown measures in May has brought us a little bit nearer to normality. The fact that pubs and restaurants can accommodate customers inside has meant that a lot more people are socialising with friends. We understand that people will want to go out and celebrate our new freedoms, however, we would like to remind you to celebrate safely and drink sensibly. Above all, leave the car at home and do not drink and drive. Just because you live in an outlying village or rural community, this does not mean that you are not going to get caught drinking and driving. This month we have arrested two people and investigated several incidents which we believe have been alcohol fuelled. Anti-social behaviour (ASB) During the last month, the level of ASB has increased. A tree sapling that was planted to commemorate the life of a well-known local resident was snapped off at the trunk base and discarded on the recreation ground on Frolesworth Road, Broughton Astley. This is under investigation and if anyone has any information as to whom is responsible please contact PC Michelle Skingsley on [email protected]. Any information will be treated in confidence. Whilst we are still providing the dedicated ASB car for extra patrols in public spaces and recreation grounds, we would like to remind parents to check that you know where your child is and what they are doing. We are following up all reports of ASB incidents and parents can expect a visit from an officer if their child is involved in ASB.

  • HARBOROUGH DISTRICT COUNCIL OPEN SPACE/SPORT and RECREATIONAL FACILITIES and ASSESSMENT of LOCAL NEEDS FINAL REPORT by PMP In
    HARBOROUGH DISTRICT COUNCIL OPEN SPACE/SPORT AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AND ASSESSMENT OF LOCAL NEEDS FINAL REPORT BY PMP in association with Donaldsons JUNE 2004 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary What is the aim of this open space, sport and recreation study? The study aims to provide a clear picture of existing and future needs for open space, sport and recreation in Harborough and the current ability to meet those needs in terms of quality, quantity and accessibility. The study sets local standards based on assessments of local needs, demographics and audits of existing open spaces. It is the basis for addressing quantitative and qualitative deficiencies through the planning process and should form the basis of the development of an open space strategy for Harborough DC. Scope of the open space and sport and recreation study The study includes all open space and recreation types identified within the latest Planning Policy Guidance Note 17 (Planning for Open Space Sport and Recreation, July 2002) and its Companion Guide (September 2002). These include parks and gardens, natural and semi-natural areas, green corridors, amenity greenspace, provision for children and young people, outdoor sports facilities, allotments, cemeteries and churchyards and civic spaces. The study also considers the provision of sport and indoor recreation facilities. What is the need for the study of open space, sport and recreation? A local assessment of open space and open space needs will enable the Council to: • plan positively, creatively and effectively in identifying priority areas for improvement and to target appropriate types of open space required • ensure an adequate provision of high quality, accessible open space to meet the needs of community • ensure any accessible funding is invested in the right places where there is the most need • conduct S106 negations with developers from a position of knowledge with evidence to support.

    Rural Economy Planning Toolkit Companion Document Instructions for Using the Toolkit Useful Context Information Produced by: Funded by: Rural Economic Development Planning Toolkit This document explains how to use the toolkit in greater detail and sets out some of the broader context relevant to the development of the toolkit. Its sections are: Instructions for Using the Toolkit Economic Development Context The Emerging National Framework for Planning and Development The assessment of planning applications for rural economic development: designated sites and key issues for Leicestershire authorities What makes a good rural economic development planning proposal? Case Studies Parish Broadband Speeds The Distribution and Contribution of Rural Estates within Leicestershire Attractions in Leicester and Leicestershire Instructions - Using the Toolkit The toolkit is in the form of an interactive PDF document. Most of the text is locked, and you cannot change it. Throughout the toolkit, though, comments, information and responses are asked for, and boxes you can type in are provided. You are also asked to select 'traffic lights' – red, amber or green. It is important to understand that, if you start with a blank copy of the toolkit, the first thing you should do is save it with a different name using the 'Save as Copy' command in Acrobat Reader. This means you have now created a version of the toolkit for the particular project you are working on, and still have the blank copy of the toolkit for another time. Let's assume you have saved your copy of the PDF file as 'Project.pdf' – every time you save again you will save all of the additions and traffic light choices you have made.

  • Presentation to Parish Councils Willoughby Waterleys Residents Association (WWRA)
    Presentation to Parish Councils Willoughby Waterleys Residents Association (WWRA) 17th February 2021 1. Introduction Good Evening. My name is David Campbell-Kelly and I am speaking tonight as the Chair of WWRA and I am joined by a number of fellow committee members. I am also Chair of Willoughby Waterleys Parish Council and am a retired house builder with some planning knowledge. I would however not profess to have all the answers nor know everything, regarding the complicated planning scenario confronting us, with the Blaby DC (BDC) Local Plan consultation. Tonight, we have representations from 11 Parish Councils and Neil Bannister as the Ward Councillor for Willoughby Waterleys and a few other Parishes in attendance. Thank you all for your attendance, which I see as vindication of the concerns we all have, over the proposals set out in the BDC plan. I will start out with an explanation of where we are currently with plan making locally, to the extent it affects the wider area of South Leicestershire, then lead into some information about the Blaby consultation and finish with where things may need to go to thereafter. Hopefully, this will last around 20 minutes and leave plenty of time for questions and discussion. I would accept that different Parishes may well have different concerns to others and the main purpose tonight is hopefully to provide you with an alternative perspective, to assist you in your representations to Blaby, if you feel a response is necessary for your community. 2. Where are we now with planning? Before looking at individual Authorities, it is important to understand the interrelationship between the Leicestershire Councils.
