JCS Issues and Questions Consultation JCS Issues and Questions Consultation Foreword In 2008 the Councils of Gloucester City, Tewkesbury Borough and Cheltenham Borough decided to prepare a joint development plan. This will have many benefits to planning a sustainable future for all three Council areas and the approach is supported by Gloucestershire County Council. This consultation document is the first stage in producing the joint development plan and has regard to the latest Draft of the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) for the South West. Despite Government promises, the RSS has still not been formally published. The Government advises that the Draft RSS should be used as a material planning consideration in the planning process when considering applications for proposals contained within it. The development industry therefore may not wait for the Government to publish the RSS and the Planning Inspectorate is likely to come under pressure to make decisions on planning appeals in advance of its publication. Cheltenham Borough, Gloucester City and Tewkesbury Borough together with Gloucestershire County Council have various significant objections to key aspects of the RSS, particularly in relation to unjustified urban extensions and unnecessary incursion into the Green Belt arising from its proposals for increased growth to unprecedented levels.. Although the Councils remain opposed to the RSS, we feel it is vital to put plans in place to help secure proper infrastructure should applications come forward for proposals within the Draft RSS. It is also necessary, for the good planning of the area, to ensure that an up-to-date development plan is in place to guide future sustainable development and safeguard environmental, social, economic and other key interests. In publishing this document the three Councils are inviting local communities and stakeholders to present their views and engage fully in the process of preparing the joint development plan. JCS Issues and Questions Consultation Page 1 JCS Issues and Questions Consultation Page 2 Introduction This document has been produced by Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Councils. Its purpose is to raise awareness of the Key Issues that the area faces and to generate debate about how these could be addressed. The document is the first step towards a Joint Core Strategy that will set out the strategic planning framework for the three authorities and guide future development up until the year 2026. On adoption, the Joint Core Strategy will become part of the statutory development plan for each authority. Preparing a Joint Core Strategy will mean making choices about how the area will develop over the period from now until 2026. As part of the preparation of the JCS it is important to consult stakeholders and communities on what they see as the issues for today and the solutions for the future. This document is the first stage in the preparation of the Joint Core Strategy and the Councils are seeking your views on a number of subjects and topics that will need to be addressed. This consultation document invites your to provide your views on: • The Key Issues that need to be addressed; • The Vision for the area; • The topics the Joint Core Strategy should cover; • What policies could be included within the JCS and what the priorities should be. This document fulfils the requirements of Regulation 25 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004, as amended. Structure of the Document The document is split into two parts. The first part is about Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Borough in 2009. It explains why a Joint Core Strategy is being produced, how it fits into other relevant plans, policies and programmes and summarises the evidence that has been collected for the area. It ends by detailing what are considered to be the Key Issues to be addressed in the JCS. The second part is about the future. It outlines what could be included in a potential Vision for the area for 2026 and a set of Strategic Objectives which would need to be met to achieve a Vision. The second part also outlines the possible policy areas that the Joint Core Strategy will need to cover in order to achieve the Vision and seeks your views on them. Each topic area includes a brief description of relevant national or regional policy as appropriate. JCS Issues and Questions Consultation Page 3 Why a Joint Core Strategy? The decision to produce a Joint Core Strategy was made by all three Councils in July 2008. Working jointly means a plan can be prepared at a strategic level for the future of the area to ensure that urban locations complement each other rather than compete. This is particularly important for Gloucester and Cheltenham because, by working together, they can act as a sub-regional centre and attract investment and jobs. it will also enable rural communities to benefit from economic opportunities across the area. What area will the Joint Core Strategy Cover? The Joint Core Strategy will be the key document in the development plan of Gloucester City, Cheltenham Borough and Tewkesbury Borough Councils. As such it will cover the administrative areas of the three authorities as illustrated below. How will the Joint Core Strategy relate to other plans? The Joint Core Strategy will be a Development Plan Document and will be part of the three Councils' Local Development Frameworks (LDFs). LDFs were introduced as part of the new statutory planning process under the 2004 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act and will replace the Local Plans for each of the authorities. For more information on Local Development Frameworks and the new planning system please visit http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/ldf/ldfguide.html As set out above, the new planning system also introduced a new type of regional planning document known as a Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS). This will also form part of the Councils' development plans for the area. The Regional Spatial Strategy for the South West has been prepared and undergone independent examination. It is, however, yet to be published and there remains some uncertainty about what it will contain in its final version. When it is published, the Joint Core Strategy will have to be in general conformity with its policies. At present the most up to date version of the JCS Issues and Questions Consultation Page 4 RSS is the Secretary of State's Proposed Changes version that was published following the report of the Panel appointed to examine the Draft RSS. In addition to the RSS, the JCS must also have regard to, and seek to deliver, on a wide range of other plans and programmes prepared by each of the Councils and other stakeholders. For example it must have regard to the Housing Strategies prepared by each authority and the Economic Development Strategies and initiatives in existence. In particular for Gloucester and Cheltenham, the Joint Core Strategy will need to reflect upon the initiatives and proposals coming forward as part of the Gloucester Heritage Urban Regeneration Company and Civic Pride respectively. As can be seen, the JCS will therefore need to have regard to a whole range of strategies and programmes and seek to deliver the spatial elements of them all, where appropriate to the development of the JCS area. Links to the Sustainable Community Strategies It is also crucial that the Joint Core Strategy delivers on some of the intentions of the four (including the county-wide) Sustainable Community Strategies produced by the Local Strategic Partnerships (LSP) and the Gloucestershire Conference. A facilitated LSP Workshop was held in November 2008 where the LSPs set out what they wished to see included within the JCS. The outcomes of that workshop are listed below. 1. Develop strong and complementary relationships between communities whilst retaining the local distinctiveness of the City, Spa Town, rural communities and suburbs. 2. Improved retail offer (shops) 3. Meeting the variety of housing needs of the communities across the JCS area 4. Innovative solutions for transport, planning and urban design to increase the use of public transport. 5. Develop the employment portfolio of Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury 6. Develop the skills agenda for people of all ages 7. Enhance the cultural, leisure and tourism offer 8. Mitigate contributions to climate change and ensure effective adaptations to help improve the resilience of the JCS area 9. Reduce the risk of flooding and its impact 10. Protect, manage and enhance biodiversity and the natural environment 11. Deliver effective and ongoing social, economic and physical regeneration of Gloucester 12. Improve health and access to healthcare for residents of Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury areas. A fuller and more detailed explanaiton of each of the above is available from the Joint Core Strategy LSP Workshop Report, included within the evidence base for the Core Strategy. For each of the Council's Sustainable Community Strategy, please visit http://www.gct-jcs.org/Publications/SustainableCommunityStrategy.aspx What else will influence the Joint Core Strategy? JCS Issues and Questions Consultation Page 5 Decisions taken in the Joint Core Strategy will need to be based on a strong understanding of the area and robust evidence. How, when and where the necessary level of infrastructure can be provided will also be a key determinant. At present the three Councils are preparing a range of evidence base studies. If you would like to view the evidence base, please visit www.gct-jcs.org/EvidenceBase What happens next? Once we have received all your comments, we will publish a summary of the issues raised. This will then be used to help prepared a draft Joint Core Strategy. The timetable is set out below. • Evidence Gathering Stage • Issues and Question Consultation in November 2009 • Developing Prefered Options Draft in September 2010 • Pre-submission Draft in January 2011 • Submission Joint Core Strategy in June 2011 • Examination in the Autumn of 2011 • Adoption in December 2011.

A gathering of more than 50 people heard Neela, a local history expert and a FOLK member, pay tribute to Walter Ballinger and the other Stalwarts, who were imprisoned in 1906 as a result of their action to secure public access to the Hill. The Wheatsheaf was the headquarters for the Stalwarts and so it is fitting that the new plaque will be a permanent reminder of the sacrifice they made so that future generations could continue to enjoy the Hill. The Leckhampton Local History Society organised the event with their members being half of the gathering. FOLK was well represented. Martin Horwood, Leckhampton ward Borough Councillor and a supporter of FOLK was present. The current owner of the Dale Forty Piano company, Colin Crawford attended the unveiling. Colin is not related to Henry Dale, who bought the site in 1894 and was a protagonist in the drama, but he has an interest in the history. Walkers along the Cotswold Way from Hartley Lane will be able to see another plaque dedicated to a Stalwart and more information on the battle for access is available on the FOLK website www.leckhamptonhill.org.uk/site- description/history.

  • Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.
