Introduction 1.1 The Bromsgrove District Plan must identify a settlement hierarchy for the District which should be supported by robust evidence. This settlement hierarchy study has therefore been produced as background research and and justification for the settlement hierarchy as identified in the Bromsgrove District Plan. 1.2 This paper sets out the background to the settlements within the District including an audit of the services and facilities currently available in each settlement and provides a recommendation as to the appropriate settlement hierarchy for use in the Bromsgrove District Plan. The evidence presented here demonstrates that the Settlement Hierarchy forms the basis of delivering future sustainable growth in the district. 2. What is a settlement hierarchy? 2.1 Settlements have traditionally provided a range of services and facilities to support their population. Generally speaking the larger the settlement in population numbers the greater the amount of services/facilities it provides. As car ownership has increased, for a number of reasons, rural services have tended to decline.

  • Appendix A&B
    Appendix A&B Consultation report on the Draft Warwickshire Rail Strategy 2019 produced by the Insight Service October 2019 Appendix A Are there any additional constraints or opportunities we should consider? - Additional constraints or opportunities we should consider? 1. Provision of parking at Coleshill Parkway is vital to its purpose. Without adequate car park facilities the station's capacity is self-limiting. I have tried to use it before but the car park is already full. This means that it is not possible to use the train as there is no alternative parking. 2. Provision of a station at Kingsbury needs to be a priority. The bus service to Birmingham was withdrawn a number of years ago and the village now has no direct connection. The only possibility now is by bus/bus or bus/train via Tamworth. This is lengthy and inconvenient. 1.Current uncertainty of HS2 Project and need for contingency . 2. Alignment with policies in Local Authority adopted planning policies and strategies. 3. More detail of passenger r capacity constrains that exist of different parts of the network. 4. Opportunities created by Light Rail and related technologies A new station serving Attleborough Industrial Estate, there is one for Bermuda Park, so why not Attleborough? It would serve Attleborough and Whitestone Areas. A railway station near Walsgrave hospital would help to reduce traffic significantly as both patients as well as the large number of staff would utilise this. A5 upgrades The stretch of A5 from Atherstone to the M69 both sides is already heavily congested, despite this new housing developments, fast food restaurants etc.

This is an exciting time for Worcestershire, in transport infrastructure, technology and services to support travel by all which will see unprecedented population, development and economic relevant modes of transport, including walking, cycling, rail, highways (car, growth; particularly in our urban areas. Our enviable central location in the van, freight and motorcycles), bus and community transport. The approach heart of England means that there is significant strategic demand to travel, recognises that our transport networks have a finite capacity. As increasing particularly on key interurban road and rail networks which provide direct capacity is typically extremely expensive, we will aim to target investment in connections between major economies including Greater Birmingham, three broad areas: Greater Bristol, Cardiff and South Wales, Oxford, London and the South East and further afield. • Transport Technology - Technology is offering increasingly attractive opportunities to help manage demand on our networks, to tackle This LTP represents an ambitious investment programme in our transport congestion and support growth.

  • Shakespeare Line Promotion Group
    SHAKESPEARE LINE NEWS Issued - 20 November 2018 Right direction but we need to go faster… The Shakespeare Line Promotion Group (SLPG) has responded to the West Midlands Rail Executive’s Rail Investment Strategy (RIS) that was published in October and sets out a vision and plan for the railways in the West Midlands over the next 30 years. The group that represents rail users between Stratford upon Avon and Birmingham and Leamington Spa/London and Stratford upon Avon has largely welcomed and supported the RIS but says that it needs to be bolder and set much faster timescales to deliver service improvements. Using data gained from online surveys it carried out with communities, rail users and Stratford upon Avon town centre businesses in Spring 2018 that led to just under 900 responses SLPG says the need for more frequent and faster Stratford upon Avon>< Birmingham train services is the highest priority for both users and businesses. It means that extending to and from Stratford upon Avon train services that currently stop and turn back at Whitlocks End near Shirley would combine with the Stratford-Solihull- Birmingham service to provide a 20 minute “turn up and go” interval train service for the town. Fraser Pithie, Secretary of the SLPG Rail User Group, said “The attraction of extending current train services to and from Stratford upon Avon that already come halfway down the line with Birmingham is it doesn’t mean any costly and time-consuming infrastructure work. It would be relatively easy to re-timetable the services to provide a much-improved interval service.” Stratford already has two trains an hour to and from Birmingham through the day, one service travelling via Henley in Arden and Shirley and the other service going via Dorridge and Solihull.

  • Borough of Redditch Infrastructure Delivery Plan Report RBC INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY PLAN REPORT – MARCH 2014 1 1
    MARCH 2014 Borough of Redditch Infrastructure Delivery Plan Report RBC INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY PLAN REPORT – MARCH 2014 1 1. Introduction This Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) has been prepared by Redditch Borough Council to accompany the Borough of Redditch Local Plan No.4. It is to be considered a ‘live document’ and it is accepted that not all necessary background work is complete and available at this time. The IDP will be updated through the Plan period to reflect new requirements when they are known and also to identify when infrastructure needs have been met. This IDP Report is not to be regarded as having any formal planning policy status, nor is it to be used to make determinations through development management processes. The purpose of the report is to set out the known infrastructure information and where there is further work to be done. Key stakeholders and partners have been contacted regarding this report to provide input and this engagement will continue. It is also hoped that this IDP report will further improve lines of communication between key delivery agencies and Redditch Borough Council. It is recognised that delivery agencies may have to review their management and investment plans and priorities over time but this IDP should assist with that process. The IDP Report may also be considered to be background evidence to support the Borough Council’s future Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) work should the Council choose to prepare a CIL charging schedule. This IDP covers infrastructure related to development within the Borough and cross boundary development required to meet the Borough’s needs.
