Page 1 Agenda Item 8a C Item 8(a) DEVELOPMENT CONTROL AND REGULATORY BOARD 12TH SEPTEMBER 2002 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES APPLICATION UPON WHICH THE COUNTY PLANNING AUTHORITY IS CONSULTED BY THE DISTRICT COUNCILS LEICESTER UNIVERSITY - OUTLINE APPLICATION FOR THE ERECTION OF MANAGEMENT TRAINING FACILITIES, IMPROVEMENTS TO SPORTS CENTRE AND ERECTION OF ADDITIONAL RESIDENTIAL ACCOMMODATION, LAND AT MANOR ROAD, OADBY (OADBY AND WIGSTON BOROUGH) 2001/0418/8 - Received by L.C.C. on 18th September 2001 Background 1. The County Planning Authority has been consulted on the application by the Oadby and Wigston Borough Council for strategic planning comments. The County Planning Authority was consulted on a previous application of a similar nature under reference 2000/0424/8 but this was withdrawn and the report which was included in the agenda for the meeting of the Regulatory Board for December 2000 was deferred from consideration. That application related to development on two parcels of land, one located between Manor Road and Southmeads Road and the second to the south of Southmeads Road extending to the rear of residential properties fronting Southmeads Close, Oadby and up to the line of the eastern distributor road to the east. Description of Proposal 2. The application relates to development on a parcel of land located between Manor Road and Southmeads Road, Oadby. The application is in outline form and is accompanied by an illustrative plan showing the location of the proposed facilities. 3. It is proposed to construct a conference centre with a 450 seat hall and 16 ancillary rooms, a new academic building and the conversion of two existing halls of residence (former houses) to academic use, an extension to the existing sports hall including a swimming pool, new halls of residence on 3 levels and car parking to serve the whole development. The development would be served by two new points of vehicular access. The new buildings and extension would create a floor area of 14,500 m2. An increase of 13,250m2 from the existing 1,250m2 floorspace. The number of staff employed would increase from 12 to 370. It is envisaged that 250 cars, 35 light vans and 5 lorries would visit the site Page 2 2 2001/0418/8 – continued DC&REG. BOARD 12/09/2002 Page 3 3 2001/0418/8 – continued during a normal working day. The residential buildings would be occupied on a 24 hour basis and the sports centre would be open 08.00 – 22.00hours seven days a week. The conference centre would operate Monday to Friday from 08.00 – 20.00 hours with some out of hours use. 4. The land is currently used for the Leicester University sports facilities and halls of residence, (former houses). At the west end of the site is a running track. The existing Sports Hall stands approximately in the middle of the site and to the east of this are tennis courts, an all weather pitch and a rugby pitch. It is not proposed to replace the existing running track since the applicant claims that it is underused and that other, better facilities are available. It should be noted that generally the academic teaching facilities associated with the University are based in central Leicester. 5. Generally the site is level except at its southern edge where it slopes towards Southmeads Close. There are a number of small groups of mature trees on the site and further specimen trees around the boundary. Southmeads Road is flanked by an avenue of mature trees. The whole application site adjoins the Oadby “Hill Top” Conservation Area. The eastern boundary of the conservation area runs north-south along the western boundary of the application site. 6. Documents submitted in support of the application include a project summary, a statement of design principles and sustainability, an environmental impact statement and a transport assessment. 7. The project summary sets out the rationale behind the proposals. The applicant suggests that the facilities proposed are a key component of the University of Leicester’s future delivery of educational services. They are fundamental to maintaining and developing the quality and level of these services. Alternative sites close to the main campus have been sought without success. The existing facilities would be less sustainable if moved into the City of Leicester. Amendments to the proposals following public consultation are also set out. 8. The statement of design principles has been submitted since the application is in outline form and sets out the principles that will be employed in designing the buildings and the layout of the site. It is suggested that the scale of the new buildings will be in keeping with those which exist since they will be effectively screened from Manor Road. The management centre will be set back within the site to preserve its open character and appearance. The new residential accommodation would be linked to the management centre and would be three storeys with a set back fourth storey and some of the development will be of two storey with a set back third storey. The lower parts of the building would be closer to Manor Road. Car parking will not dominate the scheme and there would be integrated pedestrian pathways. The statement recognises the mix of suburban styles of development in the area. One characteristic of the area which the applicant has identified is of buildings set back from the road and glimpsed through hedges and trees. It is proposed that any scheme should reflect this character. DC&REG. BOARD 12/09/2002 Page 4 4 2001/0418/8 – continued 9. The statement considers sustainability with reference to a number of areas in respect of the community its quality of life and opportunities for involvement. Creating and retaining a sustainable environment with particular reference to water, open space, transport, microclimate, waste.

  • Kirby Bellars October 2013 Author: Alan Fox
    VCH Leicestershire Texts-in-progress Kirby Bellars October 2013 Author: Alan Fox SOCIAL HISTORY Social Structure and Character In 1086, 71 per cent of the Kirby ‘parish’ was held directly by the lord of Melton, along with parts of seven other ‘parishes’; the remaining 29 per cent was held of the Melton overlord by Ralph.1 Kirby had over a quarter of all the land held directly by the overlord in the eight ‘parishes’, and probably had a large proportion of the total of its 100 freemen, 10 villeins and 13 bordars. In contrast, there were no freemen on Ralph’s lands, but just six villeins and four bordars. There were no ‘servi’ (serfs) mentioned in the ‘parish’. Although there were two manors in Kirby in the thirteenth century, by 1318 Roger Beler (I) was returned as the sole lord.2 The Beler family were resident in the parish, although Roger Beler (I) had national duties which would have frequently taken him away.3 In 1316 the founding of the chantry created another layer of land holding, with its head and landlord also resident in the parish. The dissolution in 1536 would have had a considerable impact on the social as well as economic life of the parish. Throughout the medieval period and into the eighteenth century some lords of the manor were at least partly resident in Kirby, particularly Roger Beler (II), Thomas Markham, the De la Fontaines, the Meres and possibly the Swillingtons. However when Sir John Meres (son of Ann de la Fontaine) died without issue in 1735, the manorial estate and the former 1 A.

  • Economic History
    VCH Leicestershire Texts-in-progress Kirby Bellars October 2013 Author: Alan Fox ECONOMIC HISTORY Overview Kirby Bellars is a rural parish and has never been a major manufacturing or service location. Throughout its history, the main economic activity has been farming. An important feature in the 19th and early 20th centuries was the development of foxhunting.1 The parish has been well served by road, water and rail transport facilities. Since at least the mid-nineteenth century, a shop provided basic provisions and later a post office was included but both have now closed.2 The Flying Childers Inn was established on Main Road next to Kirby Hall in the eighteenth century and was relocated to its present position in 1905.3 Farming Medieval farming 1 TNA, RG 13/3012, 109. 2 Melville & Co, Dir. Leics (1854), 159; Kelly’s Dir., Leics & Rutland (1912), 113. 3 Melton Times, 14 Jun 1985, Oral testimony from David Wheeler. 1 In 1086 Kirby had 17 carucates (27 per cent) out of the total of nearly 70 carucates, held by Geoffrey de Wirce in the eight ‘parishes’ of the manor of Melton, but none of the manor’s 84 a. meadow was in Kirby.4 It is probable that Kirby had a good share of Melton manor’s 48 ploughs, 100 freemen, 10 villeins and 13 bordars. Another seven carucates of land and 20 a. of meadow in Kirby were held by Ralph of Geoffrey de Wirce.5 Ralph had three ploughs and there were also six villeins and four bordars with another plough.

  • VCH Leicestershire Texts-In-Progress Kirby Bellars October 2013 Author: Alan Fox
    VCH Leicestershire Texts-in-progress Kirby Bellars October 2013 Author: Alan Fox LOCAL GOVERNMENT Manorial Government In 1086 Kirby was one of eight vills or ‘parishes’ that were part of the overall manor of Melton.1 In the Leicestershire Survey of 1124-9, Kirby Hundred comprised Sixtenebia (Sysonby), Chetelbia (Eye Kettleby), Alebia (Welby) and Kirby itself, all held by the Melton overlord, Roger de Mowbray.2 In 1316 Roger Beler (I) granted certain lands to his newly founded chantry, and he included the attached fealties (homages) and suits of court, which meant that the sub-tenants of these lands were under the jurisdiction of the chantry court.3 However, some of the holdings of the same sub-tenants were excluded from the donation to the chantry and Beler retained their fealties and suits of court. This suggests that Beler continued to be in charge of the manorial court. In 1319 the chantry was enlarged to a collegiate chapel and further donations by Beler included the manor of Buckminster with Sewstern. The chapel was also given responsibility for the court with regard to its tenants in that parish.4 In 1359, at the conversion of the collegiate chapel, all homages and services of the associated free Kirby tenants went to the newly-formed 1 A.
