Proposed New Secondary School, Cheltenham Interim Travel Plan MISSION STATEMENT As sponsors of the new Secondary School, Balcarras School is aware of the need to reduce the impact of traffic generated by the School as well as to promote sustainable travel and will work with the School to minimise the impact of travel to and from the site through the implementation of a School Travel Plan. I am committed to working with the management team of the new School in order to enable opportunities for accessing the site by foot, bicycle and bus and to discourage single-occupant car journeys and drop offs to the site. As a School we support the sustainable travel options detailed in this Interim Travel Plan so that we can facilitate good travel habits amongst pupils and their families, as they see the benefits to themselves and the environment. Through the implementation of the Travel Plan we aim to reduce solo car journeys made to the School, reduce dangerous and obstructive parking and increase sustainable travel to the site. This in turn will help to be good neighbours within the local community. I fully support the actions that are required as part of the Interim Travel Plan and its development into a detailed Travel Plan. Mr D Burke - Head Teacher Cotswold Transport Planning Ltd Page i Kier Construction Ltd. Proposed New Secondary School, Cheltenham Interim Travel Plan 1 Introduction Brief 1.1 Cotswold Transport Planning Ltd (CTP) has been instructed by Kier Construction Ltd. to prepare an Interim Travel Plan (ITP) in support of a planning application for the development of a new six form of entry (6FE) Secondary School off Farm Lane in Leckhampton, Cheltenham. 1.2 The ITP sets out initial principles and suggested management mechanisms for adoption in a detailed Travel Plan to reduce single occupancy car trips to/from the site and facilitate sustainable modes of travel. 1.3 An ITP is the first stage in sustainable travel planning for the site. It is anticipated that the planning approval will be accompanied by a condition for the agreement of the detailed travel plan prior to occupation once the School management team is in place and the operational details of the site are fixed such as opening and closing times, School name etc. 1.4 This ITP includes measures that have been proven to maximise returns in terms of car trip reductions. Furthermore, the infrastructure proposals, both on and off-site, have been developed to enhance accessibility and accord with local and national transport policy and guidance. Development Proposals 1.5 The development proposals include the construction of a multi-storey Secondary School with ancillary car parking with a 115 parking spaces (allowing 1 space per staff calculated to drive and the rest available for use by parents), a drop off zone for parents capable of accommodating 6 vehicles at any one time, 115 covered and secure cycle parking, Multi- Use Games Area (MUGA), sport pitches (natural and synthetic), hard and soft landscaping and associated works, together with infrastructure improvements on the local highway. Cotswold Transport Planning Ltd Page 1 Kier Construction Ltd. Proposed New Secondary School, Cheltenham Interim Travel Plan Background 1.6 There has been pressure on local Primary School places in Cheltenham since 2011. This is the result of an increase in the birth rate locally and naturally changing demographics, coupled with additional pupil yield from new housing. This growth has been significant and resulted in the need to provide substantial additional temporary and permanent School places at existing Primary Schools. 1.7 These pupils are now moving through to Secondary Schools where there is now the need to establish additional pupil places for Secondary School age pupils. 1.8 Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) has a statutory duty to ensure that sufficient School places are available for every child of School age. GCC has therefore identified a future shortfall in Secondary School places in the Cheltenham area. If no action is taken to address the lack of spaces from Secondary Schools’ forecasts, demand will far outweigh supply of School places. 1.9 Two Cheltenham Secondary Schools have permanently expanded by 1 form of entry from September 2018, which creates an additional 60 places each year. 1.10 However, taking into account basic need projections, new housing developments and the provision of a new Secondary School as part of the north-west Cheltenham development, a shortfall of at least 120 year 7 places will remain by 2019/20 (4 forms of entry). Should no additional capacity be available, this will increase to a shortage of at least 180 places each year from 2021/22, equivalent to 6 forms of entry each year and this shortfall will continue to grow as each year passes. 1.11 Without additional Secondary capacity in the south-east of Cheltenham, it will therefore not be possible to meet this duty and it will be necessary for children to travel some distance to alternative Schools outside of the area. This would result in GCC having to fund transport and, over time, expand alternative Schools away from the area of need to provide adequate capacity and prevent further displacement, which will inevitably have a negative impact on community cohesion in and around Leckhampton and the wider area. 1.12 The proposed Secondary School will have a capacity of 900 pupils aged from 11-16 and is expected to employ circa 100 teaching and assisting staff. Balcarras School have been appointed by the Local Authority Education Authority, Gloucestershire County Council (GCC), as the sponsor for the new Secondary School. Cotswold Transport Planning Ltd Page 2 Kier Construction Ltd. Proposed New Secondary School, Cheltenham Interim Travel Plan 1.13 It is anticipated that the opening of the School will be September 2021 and the admissions will be phased year by year i.e. Year 7 pupils in year 1, Years 7 and 8 pupils in Year 2 and so on. 1.14 Table 1.1 shows the admission for the first five years the School will be in operation. This shows that the School will reach its full Published Admission Number in Year 5 onwards when there will be 180 pupils per year group from September 2025. 1.15 It is anticipated that once fully occupied Years 7-11 will have a pupil roll of up to 180 per year group. Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 MVN MVN MVN MVN MVN Key Stage 3 120 240 390 420 480 Key Stage 4 0 0 0 120 240 Total 120 240 390 540 720 Table 1.1: Minimum Viable Number (MVN) of Pupils by Academic Year 1.16 The School will also support future residential growth in the area. This includes the committed 377 dwellings associated with land off Farm Lane (Planning Reference Number 14/00838/FUL) and the emerging allocation in the Cheltenham Local Plan of 350 dwellings immediately to the north of the application site (MD5). 1.17 The number of pupils with special educational needs who will need to attend the School is not known at this stage. Transport will be organised as appropriate for these pupils. 1.18 The School sports facilities will also be open for private hire outside of School hours at evenings, weekends and School holidays. 1.19 A site location plan is presented in Appendix A and a proposed site layout plan is attached as Appendix B. 1.20 It is intended that the Travel Plan will be adapted and reviewed, year on year, over time in line with the gradual growth of the School, which is expected to be fully occupied in 2026.

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.

An automatic reaction upon first encountering the At the same time, however, the Despensers' estate subject of Leckhampton's manorial history is to also included land held from the manor of think of Leckhampton Court and of the manor Cheltenham and land ‘on the hill‘ held from the with which it has been associated since earliest neighbouring manor of Coberley, then in the times.

    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.

  • 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.
