Introduction What is the Local Plan? 1.1 The Local Plan is a statutory planning document prepared by the Rutland County Council. It sets out planning policies that will help to determine the future location, scale, type and design of new development in Rutland. 1.2 The Local Plan, together with any neighbourhood plan prepared by Town and Parish Councils or other appropriate bodies, make up the “statutory development plan” which has important status in determining future planning applications in the area. 1.3 The Local Plan in Rutland currently comprises three separate “Development Plan Documents”. Which documents are being reviewed? 1.4 The following Development Plan Documents (DPDs) are being reviewed and it is intended that they will be replaced by this single local plan: Minerals Core Strategy and Development Control Policies DPD (October 2010) Core Strategy DPD (July 2011) Site Allocations and Policies DPD (October 2014) 1.5 A list of the existing policies that will be replaced and the policies that it is intended will replace them is shown in Appendix 2. Why is the Local Plan being reviewed? 1.6 Rutland County Council is reviewing its Local Plan in order to: produce a single Local Plan document as recommended by government planning policy in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) reflect changes to national planning policy and guidance, particularly the new National Planning Policy Framework introduced in February 2019; extend the plan period to 2036 in order to ensure that there will a 15 year time horizon from adoption for strategic policies as recommended in the NPPF in order to anticipate and respond to long term requirements and opportunities, such as those arising from major improvements in infrastructure; provide for additional new housing, employment and other development that will be required to meet future needs over the extended plan period; 1.7 A glossary of the terms used in this document is shown at the end of the document. What is the plan period? 1.8 The plan period is from 2018 until 2036. This will provide an additional 10 years horizon beyond the current plan period (2026) and will ensure that there is at least a 15 year time horizon after the plan is finally adopted by the Council. What are we now consulting on? 1.9 This document has been produced for public consultation under Regulation 19 of the Local Plan Regulations in advance of submission to the Secretary of State under Regulation 22 of the Local Plan regulations. This consultation seeks representations as to legal compliance and soundness of the Local Plan only. The Pre-Submission Local Plan sets out the strategic vision, objectives and spatial strategy for the County, as well as the planning policies which will guide future development. The Plan looks ahead to 2036 and identifies the main areas throughout Rutland where development should take place, along with areas of the County that will be protected from change. It establishes policies and guidance, to ensure local development is built in accordance with the principles of sustainable development as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The Plan also includes site allocations to meet the vision and objectives of the plan. 1.10 Local Plans are considered to be sound if they are: positively prepared – providing a strategy which, as a minimum, seeks to meet the area’s objectively assessed needs and is informed by agreements with other authorities, so that unmet need from neighbouring areas is accommodated where it is practical to do so and is consistent with achieving sustainable development; justified – an appropriate strategy, taking account of reasonable alternatives, and based on proportionate evidence; effective – deliverable over the plan period, and based on effective joint working on cross-boundary strategic matters that have been dealt with rather than deferred, as evidenced by the statement of common ground; consistent with national policy – enabling the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with the policies set out in the NPPF 1.11 This consultation follows previous community engagement and consultation has been undertaken under Regulation 18 of the Local Plan Regulations: Call for sites Sept 2015- Jan 2016 Issues and Options Jan-Feb 2016 Consultation Draft Local Plan Jul-Sept 2017 Focussed Changes and Additional sites consultation Aug-Sept 2018. How do Neighbourhood Plans fit in? 1.12 Neighbourhood Plans are community-led and provide a powerful spatial planning tool for local communities to shape and influence where development will go and what it will look like in their local area. Introduced by government through the Localism Act 2011, the process provides the opportunity for local communities to exercise greater influence through plans, policies and orders that meet the needs of the local community. 1.13 Local Planning Authorities have a general duty to support communities producing Neighbourhood Plans. The Council has developed a step by step Neighbourhood Planning Toolkit to assist groups and provides support and guidance throughout the process from scoping the Plan and building the evidence base, to ensuring the Plan is in general conformity with strategic planning policy. A successful Plan also depends on local participation, leadership and ownership and also empowers communities and supports local capacity building. The Council therefore recognises the importance of good governance, inclusion and wide engagement in the process of developing Neighbourhood Plans. 1.14 When adopted by the Council, Neighbourhood Plans form part of the Statutory Development Plan which forms the basis for determining planning applications. Neighbourhood Plans provide policies on issues of a non- strategic, local nature. They should look to add locally specific detail to the strategic policies included in the Local Plan and should be distinct to reflect and respond to the unique characteristics and planning context of the specific neighbourhood area. Neighbourhood planning activity in Rutland 1.15 Where we have Parish or Town Councils and they wish to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan, they will be required to take the lead in neighbourhood planning on behalf of their communities. Outside such areas, then it is possible to establish a Neighbourhood Plan Forum to undertake this role. 1.16 Six neighbourhood plans have been ‘made’ following a public referendum with Uppingham being one of the country’s initial ‘frontrunner’ Plans which began to be developed in 2012. Policies in these plans are used alongside Local Plan and national policies to determine planning applications in these areas.

The strategic policies are those which are essential to delivering the overall planning and development strategy for Rutland, such as those that set out the number of homes that should be built and where. The policies within this plan identify where the policy is considered to be strategic. Paragraph 65 of the NPPF requires that strategic policy-making authorities should establish a housing requirement figure for their whole area, which shows the extent to which their housing need (and any needs that cannot be met within neighbouring areas) can be met over the plan period. Within this overall requirement, strategic policies should also set out a housing requirement for designated neighbourhood areas which reflects the overall strategy for the pattern and scale of development and any relevant allocations. 1.20 Neighbourhood Plans which are being prepared or reviewed after the Local Plan is adopted can allocate additional sites for development within their town or

  • Ketton Conservation Area
    Ketton Conservation Area Ketton Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan Draft for consultation August 2019 1 1.0 Background Ketton conservation area was designated in 1972, tightly drawn around the historic core of Church Road, Chapel Lane, Redmiles Lane, Aldgate and Station Road and extended in 1975 to its current size. 2.0 Location and Setting Ketton is a large village located 4 miles south west of Stamford on the Stamford Road (A6121). It has been identified within the Rutland Landscape Character Assessment (2003) as being within the ‘Middle Valley East’ of the ‘Welland Valley’ character area which is ‘a relatively busy, agricultural, modern landscape with many settlements and distinctive valley profiles.’ The river Chater is an important natural feature of the village and within the valley are a number of meadow areas between Aldgate and Bull Lane that contribute towards the rural character of the conservation area. The south western part of the conservation area is particularly attractive with a number of tree groups at Ketton Park, the private grounds of the Priory and The Cottage making a positive contribution. The attractive butter coloured stone typical of Ketton is an important feature of the village. The stone quarry and cement works which opened in 1928 is located to the north. A number of famous buildings have been built out of Ketton Stone, such as Burghley House and many of the Cambridge University Colleges. Although the Parish Church is of Barnack stone. The historic core is nestled in the valley bottom on the north side of the River Chater and extends in a linear form along the High Street, continuing onto Stamford Road (A6121).

  • Rutland County Council Electoral Review Submission on Warding Patterns
    Rutland County Council Electoral Review Submission on Warding Patterns INTRODUCTION 1. The Council presented a Submission on Council Size to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) on 11 July 2017 following approval at Full Council. On 25 July the LGBCE wrote to the Council advising that it was minded to recommend that 26 County Councillors should be elected to Rutland County Council in future in accordance with the Council’s submission. 2. The second stage of the review concerns warding arrangements. The Council size will be used to determine the average (optimum) number of Electors per councillor to be achieved across all wards of the authority. This number is reached by dividing the electorate by the number of Councillors on the authority. The LGBCE initial consultation on Warding Patterns takes place between 25 July 2017 and 2 October 2017. 3. The Constitution Review Working Group is Cross Party member group. The terms of reference for the Constitution Review Working Group (CRWG) (Agreed at Annual Council 8 May 2017) provide that the working group will review arrangements, reports and recommendations arising from Boundary and Community Governance reviews. Therefore, the CRWG undertook to develop a proposal on warding patterns which would then be presented to Full Council on 11 September 2017 for approval before submission to the LGBCE. BACKGROUND 4. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England technical guidance states that an electoral review will be required when there is a notable variance in representation across the authority. A review will be initiated when: • more than 30% of a council’s wards/divisions having an electoral imbalance of more than 10% from the average ratio for that authority; and/or • one or more wards/divisions with an electoral imbalance of more than 30%; and • the imbalance is unlikely to be corrected by foreseeable changes to the electorate within a reasonable period.

  • The Rove Beetles of Leicestershire and Rutland
    LEICESTERSHIRE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Rove Beetles (Staphylinidae) of Leicestershire and Rutland Part 1: Sub-families Paederinae, Pseudopsinae and Staphylininae Derek A. Lott Creophilus maxillosus (Graham Calow) LESOPS 24 (2011) ISSN 0957 – 1019 Correspondence: 5 Welland Road, Barrow upon Soar, LE12 8NA VC55 Staphylinids Part 1 2 Introduction With over 56,000 described species in the world, the Staphylinidae are the largest family in the animal kingdom (Grebennikov & Newton, 2009). Around a quarter of the British beetles are rove beetles, so they represent an important component of biodiversity in Britain. However, because of perceived difficulties in their identification, they have not received the attention that they merit. This paper aims to play a part in redressing that imbalance by listing all reliable records from Leicestershire and Rutland for the different species and analysing which species have declined locally over 100 years of recording rove beetles and which have prospered. The subfamilies treated in this first part include the largest and most conspicuous species in the family. The geographical area covered is the vice county of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55). Some records from adjacent banks of the River Soar that technically lie in Nottinghamshire are also included. These records can be distinguished by the use of Nottinghamshire parish names. Identification Staphylinidae can be easily recognised among beetles in the field by their short wing cases that leave five or six segments of the abdomen exposed and flexible. In fact they look more like earwigs than other beetles. For identification to species, all the members of the subfamilies in this part will be covered by the forthcoming Royal Entomological Society handbook to Staphylinidae parts 6 and 7 due for publication in 2011.

    A R,OMAN VILLA AT TIXOVER GRANGE, RUTLAND by ALAN McWHIRR The villa lies in the parish of Tixover, Rutland, in the grounds of Tixover Grange, and is 250 metres north-east of the Grange.1 Its national grid reference is SK(43) 982019. 2 The village of Duddington, Northampton­ shire is I.2 Km. south-east (see figs. 1 and 2). Excavations were conducted in 1958 and 1959 by the University of Leicester Department of Archaeology, under the direction of Mr. S. E. Thomas. It was a training dig for students, the writer of this report being one of that number.3 The first published reference to Roman finds at Tixover seems to have been the comments of the Reverend Edward Trollope who, when writing about a Roman building at Apethorpe more than a century ago,4 reported s 10 ,o 1.0 Fig. I Based on O.S. map I 2 LEICESTERSHIRE ARCHJBOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SOCIETY Fig. 2 Based on O.S. map that part of a hypocaust was found.

  • Dr Patrick Clay, University of Leicester Archaeological Services
    East Midlands Archaeological Research Framework: Resource Assessment of Neolithic and Early Bronze Age Leicestershire An Archaeological Resource Assessment of the Neolithic and Bronze Age Leicestershire and Rutland Dr Patrick Clay, University of Leicester Archaeological Services Note: For copyright reasons the figures are currently omitted from the web version of this paper. It is hoped to include them in future versions. Introduction In formulating an archaeological resource assessment it should be remembered that the landscape is the resource not the data on the SMRís which, by their very nature, provide a random unrepresentative sample. For this exercise the resource can be defined as an area of midlands landscape demarcated by the present boundaries of Leicestershire and Rutland (other than areas which have previously been destroyed). This is a lowland landscape characterised by a covering of glacial drift with, to the east, a limestone escarpment - the Jurassic ridge - and, to the west, Pre-Cambrian uplands with coal measures and Mercia Mudstone. Sixty per cent of the area has a clay substrata. The landscape is well dissected and separated by rivers and many tributary streams, demarcated by the Trent to the northwest, the Avon to the southwest and the Welland to the southeast while the south-north flowing Soar neatly divides the area into two. It is an agriculturally rich area, historically famous for its sheep farming and still possessing some of the finest pasture in Britain. The area is essentially plough-zone with consequent erosion although it has some potential for localised alluvial and colluvial burial and wetland areas. In assessing the resource for the Neolithic and Bronze Age (and other periods) it must be remembered that systematic survey has only been undertaken in a few areas and consideration of SMRís in isolation will inevitably produce inherent biases (Mills 1985).

  • Map 8 Britannia Superior Compiled by A.S
    Map 8 Britannia Superior Compiled by A.S. Esmonde-Cleary, 1996 with the assistance of R. Warner (Ireland) Introduction Britain has a long tradition of antiquarian and archaeological investigation and recording of its Roman past, reaching back to figures such as Leland in the sixteenth century. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the classically-educated aristocracy and gentry of a major imperial and military power naturally felt an affinity with the evidence for Rome’s presence in Britain. In the twentieth century, the development of archaeology as a discipline in its own right reinforced this interest in the Roman period, resulting in intense survey and excavation on Roman sites and commensurate work on artifacts and other remains. The cartographer is therefore spoiled for choice, and must determine the objectives of a map with care so as to know what to include and what to omit, and on what grounds. British archaeology already has a long tradition of systematization, sometimes based on regions as in the work of the Royal Commissions on (Ancient and) Historic Monuments for England (Scotland and Wales), but also on types of site or monument. Consequently, there are available compendia by Rivet (1979) on the ancient evidence for geography and toponymy; Wacher (1995) on the major towns; Burnham (1990) on the “small towns”; Margary (1973) on the roads that linked them; and Scott (1993) on villas. These works give a series of internally consistent catalogs of the major types of site. Maps of Roman Britain conventionally show the island with its modern coastline, but it is clear that there have been extensive changes since antiquity, and that the conventional approach risks understating the differences between the ancient and the modern.
