The entry for Dursley and Berkeley is found on pages 105-116. This transcription was carried out by Andrew Barton of Dursley in 2005. All punctuation and spelling of the original is retained. In addition the basic layout of the original work has been kept, although page breaks are likely to have fallen in different places.

[email protected] www.fordhamresearch.com Foreword FOREWORD Structure and nature of the report This (Strategic Housing Market Assessment) SHMA report is divided into sections. The logic for the sections derives from the Brief for the work, Government Guidance and the need for a logical explanation of the work. An additional section is also included detailing updated information that has become available as the result of further result commissioned since the original SHMA report was produced. At the start of each section the chapter titles and short summary of content are listed, in order to assist the reader to gain a brief overview of the detailed contents. A more substantial overview is provided in the Executive Summary. A considerable part of this report is devoted to following the many stages of the department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) Practice Guidance (March and August 2007) whose stages are labelled throughout the relevant chapters. Since the stages/steps of the Guidance are not numbered sequentially in each chapter of the Guidance, we have added a chapter number identifier (so Step 5.1 becomes 5.5.1 if Guidance Chapter 5 is involved). The next page of this report provides a summary list of the chapters. Detailed contents of each chapter are presented after the Glossary, at the end of the report. These can be used as an index when seeking further information on a given topic.

MY first and pleasant duty is to express my thanks to the Faculty of the History of Medicine and Pharmacy of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries for appointing me to give the Inaugural Monckton Copeman Lecture. In selecting the 'Prevention of Smallpox from Edward Jenner to Monckton Copeman' as the subject of the Lecture, I value the privilege of paying a tribute to two great benefactors of mankind. It is appropriate at the outset to give you some account of the man in whose memory this Lecture has been founded. OUTLINE OF THE LIFE OF DR. S. MONCKTON COPEMAN Sydney Arthur Monckton Copeman was born at Norwich on 21 February, 1862. His father was the Rev. Canon Arthur Charles Copeman, LL.D., Canon and Rural Dean of Norwich. Before taking Holy Orders, Canon Copeman qualified with the M.B. London in 1848, being gold medallist in anatomy and physiology. Preceding generations of the family were private bankers in Norwich; but medicine was further represented by the Canon's elder brother, Edward Copeman, M.D., F.R.C.P.

  • I Am a Resident of Berkeley And, Whilst
    From: Sent: 21 January 2020 11:43 To: _WEB_Local Plan Subject: Sharpness Garden Village Development Plan Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged To whom it may concern: I am a resident of Berkeley and, whilst understanding the Council’s dilemma, feel that what is proposed for green belt, agricultural land between Berkeley and Sharpness is inappropriate. I realise that this is only one site of several around the area, and I appreciate that much of the land within the Stroud district is not suitable for development – being either very hilly or within the AONB However, just because the land between Berkeley and Sharpness is relatively flat, does not make it suitable or desirable for a development of this nature. I walked up on Stinchcombe Hill at the weekend and looked west over towards Sharpness, the Severn and the hills beyond. To imagine this beautiful rural area covered by houses, a whole new town, is unthinkable. Gloucestershire, and the Severn Vale and Vale of Berkeley, provide us with some of the most outstanding landscapes in the country. It is an historic area where growth has been gentle, peppered by small towns and villages with the only conurbations, to date, around Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud and Bristol to the south. To deposit a new town (hardly a Garden Village) on this green and pleasant landscape would be destruction on a monumental scale. My initial response is to question the Government’s model for growth over the next 25-30 years. They have been wrong before – think of closure of school places because the pupil population was decreasing – now schools are over-subscribed and bursting at the seams.

Defining the West of England’s Genius Loci: ‘Land of Limestone and Levels’ to Lateral Thinking. Preprints 2017, 2017080100 (doi: 10.20944/preprints201708.0100.v1). Abstract The County of Avon in England was abolished in 1996 and replaced by four unitary planning authorities. Recently the authorities have been working closely to develop a West of England Joint Spatial Plan to facilitate better integration of policies on transport, housing, the environment etc. The Joint Spatial Plan team commissioned a multidisciplinary study to investigate whether the West of England has special characteristics of 'place' that engender shared interest and regional affinity, i.e. ‘sense of place’, to which emerging planning policies might positively respond. In this regard the present article is particularly focused on identifying whether the West of England has unique and unifying landscape characteristics, relating to topography, rural scenery, and flora and fauna, which combine with human experiences to distinguish the Region from adjoining areas. It is concluded that the West of England does indeed have real geographical integrity, being bound on all sides by attractive and prominent landscape features - the Mendip Hills, Cotswold Hills and Severn Estuary – that contribute to a sense of identity and belonging among its inhabitants.
