Case Officers: Greg Vigars & Steve Parkes Summary: i. Rugby Radio Station is the major development site in the Local Development Framework Core Strategy adopted by the Borough Council in June 2011. The outline planning application is compliant with the Core Strategy and seeks to deliver growth that is locally endorsed. The Radio Station proposal has been the subject of extensive consultation during the various stages in the evolution of the project. Due to the scale and complexity of this mixed use proposal it is intended that development on the site will be delivered over a 20 year period using a phased approach which provides both flexibility and certainty of control at regular stages of the project. Delivery of housing on the application site is an important component of the Borough Council’s housing trajectory and will significantly contribute to the maintenance of the required 5 year supply of housing land. ii. The outline planning application was submitted in 2011. It was subject to a formal consultation period following which requests for additional information were made including a formal Regulation 22 request in respect of the Environmental Statement. An Additional Information submission in August 2013 addressed the comments received and took account of the re‐assessment of amendments made to the proposals. This subsequent package of information, including an Environmental Statement addendum, was subject to a further round of formal consultation with statutory consultees, the public and other interested parties. The process undertaken and changes made are all explained in the Additional Information Guide submitted with the additional information package. 1. Site and Surroundings 1.1. The application site, amounting to approximately 473.2 hectares, is located immediately to the east of the urban area of Rugby some 3 miles from the town centre. It comprises the major part of the former Rugby Radio Station which lies either side of the A5 Watling Street covering an area of approximately 678 hectares in total. 1 1.2. The site is bounded to the south and west by the West Coast Mainline Railway, the Northampton Loop Line and the Oxford Canal. The eastern boundary is formed by the A5 trunk road whilst to the north the site follows field boundaries and the Clifton Brook, which also runs through the eastern part of the site. The A428 Crick Road runs east‐west through part of the southern area of the site and also defines part of the southern boundary. The site also extends to the North West in a corridor along the east side of the Oxford Canal before meeting Clifton Road/Butlers Leap/Vicarage Hill. 1.3. To the south‐west of the site is the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT). Construction works have recently commenced on land directly adjacent to the site boundary in connection with additional rail served logistics development on DIRFT II, Zone 3. Along the north side of the Crick Road the site wraps around a small warehouse/distribution facility and a pair of semi‐detached dwellings. The site also adjoins a residential property located off the A5 to the north‐east and runs along the boundary with residential properties on Avon Street and Vicarage Hill. 1.4. To the north‐west the site abuts Hillmorton Locks and includes land comprised within the defined Hillmorton Locks Conservation Area. Hillmorton Locks is separated from the urban area of Rugby, including Hillmorton, by the railway embankment to the West Coast Mainline. The embankment itself forms both a distinct physical and visual barrier alongside this part of the site. The Conservation Area is based around three pairs of locks, the disused canal basin and a small number of dwellings and also includes the Church of St. John the Baptist. The Hillmorton Bottom Lock is grade II listed. 1.5. There are a number of existing villages in the surrounding area in relative proximity of the site including Clifton upon Dunsmore and Lilbourne to the north and north‐east respectively, Kilsby to the south, Barby to the west, Crick to the south‐east and Yelvertoft to the east.

  • The Roman Sites of South-West Leicestershire

    The Roman Sites of South-West Leicestershire

    PLATE I HIGH CROSS—FROM NORTH HIGH CROSS—FROM SOUTH THE ROMAN SITES OF SOUTH-WEST LEICESTERSHIRE BY ARTHUR J. PICKERING, F.G.S. PART I VENON/E TRIPONTIUM Preface THE following notes on the Roman Sites of South-West Leicester­ shire are of a somewhat fragmentary character. They will be found, however, to make some contribution to present day know­ ledge of the Midlands during the Roman occupation and will, the writer hopes, pave the way for excavation of a more ambitious character. The writer is convinced that systematic search and enquiry would reveal a number of other sites in this corner of the county at present unrecorded. Hinckley, Higham-on-the-Hill, Market Bosworth and Peckleton, where some evidence of Roman occupation has come to light, would possibly be found to be homesteads of the Roman-British farmer similar to Barwell and Sapcote. There is here every indication that in early forest clearings the land was tilled and stock raised for the important market town of Ratse Coritanorum. Owing to the lack of vigilance and to the superficial resem­ blance of Roman building material to what may be found on the site of any old cottage, there can be no doubt that much valuable evidence is often overlooked and for ever lost to us. Whatever historical interest these notes may afford to the antiquarian, their value has been considerably enhanced to the student by the descriptive and comparative notes on the coarse pottery contributed by Mr. B. H. St. J. O'Neil, of the Office of Works. His invaluable help in the examination of this material, and also in the revision of the complete type-script of this paper for the press, places the writer under a great debt of gratitude.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

This was shortly followed by a Daventry society, in 1797, which met in a meeting house in New Street and later built the methodist chapel in Chapel Lane, 1801. This chapel was soon closed, to be used for a school, and a new chapel, in Cow Lane, was erected in 1824. As Methodism spread throughout the locality, new chapels were erected in the villages of Braunston- 1798, West Haddon 1810 (re-erected 1847), Weedon 1811, Norton 1818, Hellidon 1820, Watford 1842, Welton 1858 and Charwelton 1887. These chapels joined the Rugby Circuit in 1806, to become the Daventry and Rugby Circuit which continued until 1860, when Rugby and some villages broke away to form a separate Rugby Circuit, the remainder forming the Daventry Circuit. This circuit consisted of chapels at Braunston, Charwelton, Daventry, Flecknoe (Warwickshire), West Haddon, Hellidon, Norton, Priors Marston (Warwickshire), Watford, Weedon, Welton and Willoughby (Warwick­ shire) . In 1931 the chapel at West Haddon was sold. This was followed by the closure of Charwelton in 1932 and later Welton 1950, Flecknoe, Hellidon and Watford 1966, Weedon 1970 and Priors Marston 1973. The four chapels still left in the Daventry Circuit amal­ gamated with the larger Rugby Circuit in 1976 to form the Daventry and Rugby Circuit.
