Uncertain Uncertain or Unknown Effects - Minor Negative Potential sustainability issues: mitigation and/or negotiation possible -- Major Negative Problematical and improbable because of known sustainability issues; mitigation likely to be difficult and/or expensive Alcester Settlement Baseline Overview relevant to SA objectives: SA Objective Settlement Assessment Heritage The historic market town of Alcester overlies the site of a significant Roman settlement on Icknield Street. The town was granted a Royal Charter to hold a weekly market in 1274 and prospered throughout the next centuries. In the 17th Century it became a centre of the needle industry. With its long narrow Burbage plots and tueries (interlinking passageways), the town centre street pattern of today and many of its buildings are medieval. There are a number of heritage assets which includes Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, a Conservation Area and archaeological features within and adjacent to the urban area. The Conservation area’s character is defined by the medieval street pattern, the presence of a wide diversity of buildings with a range of distinguishing features, and the gaps between the buildings which create an intriguing spatial element. The majority of Alcester’s Listed Buildings are located within the Conservation Area, as are parts of the Alcester Roman Town Scheduled Monument.1 Landscape The Landscape Sensitivity Study identifies extensive areas of land adjacent to the town as being of high sensitivity to development.

  • Public Rights of Way Guide Public Rights of Way
    Public Rights of Way Guide Public Rights of Way Introduction Staffordshire has a network of over 4000 kilometres of public footpaths and bridleways, which offer the single most important means of exploring every corner of the County. Whether you wish to explore Staffordshire by foot, cycle or on horseback, we hope that the information contained in these pages will help you and provide you with some ideas about the opportunities available to you. There are many opportunities for walking and riding in Staffordshire from long distance recreational routes such as the Staffordshire Way and the Way for the Millennium, the Heart of England Way and the Sabrina Way. There are many shorter, Country Trails and Promoted Routes, several of which are based around County Council Country Parks, Picnic Areas and Greenways. All of these are promoted by the County Council and are waymarked. Before starting off, you may wish to check whether there are any disruptions to the path network in your chosen area by checking if there are any Temporary Closures or Proposed Diversions. We are continually working, with Parish Councils, voluntary groups and local organisations, through the County Council's Community Paths Initiative to promote and develop such routes for your enjoyment. Generally speaking, the responsibility for keeping public paths open for public use is shared by the County Council, as highway authority, and landowners. The County Council is responsible for the surface maintenance of the paths and for dealing with unlawful obstructions. Landowners are responsible for keeping the paths free from obstruction. The County Council also ensures that all routes are legally protected on the definitive map.

  • Colwich Neighbourhood Plan
    Colwich Neighbourhood Plan 1 Colwich Neighbourhood Plan Foreword, Welcome on behalf of Colwich Parish Council to the plan for the future of Colwich & the Haywoods Work on this Neighbourhood Plan commenced following an opportunity offered in the Government’s Localism proposals in early 2011. To achieve its completion has taken considerable effort, and is no small achievement. This Plan has been generated from a wide variety of surveys and consultation events including public meetings with residents and other stakeholders, businesses, landowners and developers. Throughout its preparation, we have kept all parties informed through meetings, the Parish web-site, Social Media and the Parish Newsletter. Much of the work behind this plan has been carried out on a voluntarily basis by Colwich Parish Council’s Neighbourhood Plan committee, complimented by a number of residents who were co-opted to bring additional expertise and experience. Additional support and assistance has been provided by officers of Stafford Borough Council, Planning Aid and the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust. Although we have enlisted the help of a paid administrator, we have been determined to complete as much as possible of the plan by ourselves so that we can say it has been prepared by and for the people who live and work in the Parish of Colwich. This Plan now describes the desires, hopes and aspirations of the majority of Parish residents and stakeholders for the Parish through to 2031. We will take the opportunity to review the plan every 5 years or so to ensure that circumstances and events haven’t demanded that some aspects require reconsideration.

  • The Development and Impact of Formal Lang-Distance
    THE DEVELOPMENTAND IMPACT OF FORMAL LANG-DISTANCE FOOTPATHS IN GREAT BRITAIN by Robin S. Henshaw VOLUME TWO PhD University of Edinburgh 1984 ýJ y1ýý W Text cut off in original -269- CHAPTER NINE THE COUNTRYSIDE COMMISSION ERA I. INTRODUCTION It had been the National Parks Commission itself which had held together the programme for long-distance routes at planning stage, during the implementation of routes and, in the case of the Pennine Way which had been formally opened, in the management stage. The by the Countryside Commission continuation of the -leading role new was considered essential. The old Commission had been willing to become involved in all aspects of the development of routes, but the main difficulty had been that it never had the capacity to make the impact on the programme that was needed. Its staff had already been increased in anticipation of the enactment of new legislation and it was hoped that this would help the situation, and that a reinforced Long-Distance Routes Section of the Countryside Commission would be able to clear the backlog of work and increase the momentum of the programme. This had been the declared intention of various representatives of the Ministry, when pressed both inside and outside Parliament to do something about the delays in implementing paths, that more staff would be_ available for the programme, "once circumstances permitted. " However, despite the fact that long-distance routes retained a central place among the new Commission's responsibilities, the Countryside Commission now had very much wider responsibilities. The National Parks Commission had been mainly concerned with the 9% of England and Wales which was in national parka and to a lesser degree with the further 7.3% in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

  • Chapter 8: Landscape and Visual
    Moneystone Park, Whiston Chapter 8: Landscape and Visual CHAPTER 8: LANDSCAPE AND VISUAL Introduction 8.1 This chapter assesses the impact of the proposed development on the landscape and views. In particular, it considers the potential effects on landscape character, of both the site and surrounding area, and the potential visual effects on a number of selected viewpoints that are considered to represent the principal views of the development. 8.2 The chapter describes the methods used to assess the impacts, the baseline conditions currently existing at the site and surroundings, the potential direct and indirect impacts of the development arising from potential landscape and visual effects, the mitigation measures required to prevent, reduce, or offset the impacts and the residual impacts. 8.3 The chapter is supported by a range of figures presented collectively at Appendix 8.1 and by photoviews and montages at Appendix 8.2. It has been written by Planit-IE. Planning Policy Context National Planning Policy National Planning Policy Framework i 8.4 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was published on 27 March 2012. The key aim of the Framework was to make the planning system less complex and more accessible, to protect the environment, and to promote sustainable growth. At the heart of the NPPF is a presumption in favour of sustainable development. There are three dimensions to sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. The environmental role is relevant to the purposes of this assessment, and requires that new development contributes to the protection and enhancement of the natural, built and historic environment.

  • List of Publications Recognised By
    Recognised Promoted Routes – “The List” valid to 31 March 2012 This replaces the previous Appendix VII in the Warwickshire County Council Countryside Access and Rights of Way Improvement Plan (CAROWIP) 2006-2016 and will form an Appendix to the Rights of Way and Recreational Highway Strategy from 1 April 2011. A promoted route is one which has a leaflet, guide book or website describing the route in sufficient detail that a member of the public could follow it with reasonable ease. It may or may not have its own design of waymarker which is used in addition to the standard Public Footpath, Public Bridleway, Restricted Byway and Byway Open to All Traffic waymarkers. The routes range from local routes of just a few miles to national or regional routes where only a short section passes through the County. A significant number of these routes have been developed over the years. Many of these are no longer current or relevant and the group or individual who ‘designed’ it is, in many cases, no longer maintaining the information (or the promotional waymarking where it exists). The purpose of this list is to record those routes which have the support of the WCC Rights of Way Team and to record those routes which are permitted to use authorised promotional waymarkers. In addition, WCC Policy makes reference to The list in some of its actions and policies, including, for example,. inspection timescales. standard waymarkers examples of promotional waymarkers (not to scale) (not to scale) Promoted routes will always display standard waymarkers where they follow public rights of way, but they may also follow roads or permissive paths where you will only see the promotional waymarkers.
