The exposed face was not straight, but enclosed an angle of some 160 °. The wall was at least 36 in. thick and its depth could not be ascer- . tained because of flooding but it was well over 18 in.

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.
