2037 Foreword 1.1 Consultation about a Neighbourhood Plan for Sturton Ward was first undertaken in May 2013 by Rural Community Action Nottinghamshire (RCAN). Feedback at the time was unequivocal: Ward residents felt development was necessary to meet local housing need and supported small-scale commercial development to bolster the local economy. Maximising the tourism potential of Roman sites in the Ward was also strongly supported. 1.2 A Neighbourhood Plan was subsequently prepared for Sturton Ward. This Plan was consulted upon widely with residents and businesses within the Ward, as well as with key agencies that operated within it. The first Sturton Ward Neighbourhood Plan was finalised and approved by referendum in February 2016. 1.3 This version of the Plan did not contain any site allocations. Site allocations can be used for a range of purposes including directing where local communities believe future development should be focused and prioritised. 1.4 Since 2016, UK Government housing targets have grown significantly. These targets have been passed down to Local Authorities to deliver. Without site allocations, as a local community, we have had – and will have – relatively little say over where new houses are built. 1.5 By 2037, Sturton Ward is expected to deliver up to 20% growth (on baseline figures from August 2018). This is an approximate figure for housing growth which was part of Bassetlaw District Council’s Draft Local Plan, published in January 2020. 1.6 We do not believe that 20% is achievable in every parish based on land availability and suitability, and are proposing growth in the three main settlements that reflects identified constraints due to flood risk, heritage and landscape. 1.7 Elsewhere, there have been significant changes in UK energy policy resulting in the closure of the coal-fired power station at Cottam in September 2019. It is highly likely that the coal-fired power station at West Burton will close in 2021 and that both sites will be redeveloped by 2030. This will have a significant impact on the Ward with a large rural settlement of 1,600 dwellings currently planned for Cottam (450 of which would be built by 2037). 1.8 Given all these changes, it was felt timely to take more control over where future growth within Sturton Ward takes place, by updating the Neighbourhood Plan to include site allocations. 1.9 The Sturton Ward Neighbourhood Plan Review (SWNPR) identifies sites for housing but also updates other policies including landscape policies to provide more policy protection for parts of the Ward most valued by the local community. 1.10 A team of c.20 residents has worked together for over two years to update this Plan. Their contribution towards the future protection of the Ward has been significant and I would like to thank them all for their time, dedication and hard work. We commend this Plan Review to you.

Welcome to the Spring edition of Stepout. A subject that keeps cropping up at meetings is the question of what the Ramblers does for us. It’s a bit like the Life of Brian sketch ‘what did the Romans do for us?’ In this edition I will attempt to give an answer to that question. I know that many of us do realise the importance of the Ramblers so I apologise to those in advance. Sadly last year our past Chairman, Graham Rothery passed away. He became Area Countryside Secretary in January 2007 but later in 2008 he became Area Chairman, a position he held until November 2011. He was the MD of Pace Print, who produce Stepout for us. Walking was a great part of his life and in addition to his involvement with the Ramblers he was Chairman of the Heart of England Way Association.

    Response to Flooding (Drainage and Watercourses) Recommendations Title of review Flooding (Drainage and Watercourses) Date review completed 31/07/2008 Chair of the Select Committee Yvonne Davidson Lead Scrutiny Officer Martin Gately Email [email protected] Telephone 977 2826 Total number of pages 14 Recommendation 1 (of 18) Highways gullies are emptied more frequently. Preferably, a spring and autumn clean of gullies should take place. PART ONE to be completed two months after publication of review Response from the Cabinet Member/Executive to recommendation Date due Date provided I am currently in conjunction with other cabinet members considering the need for an additional £600,000 for gulley emptying and drain cleaning. Any additional investment will need to be targeted with gullies in areas prone to flooding having an increased cleaning frequency and other gullies being emptied once a year. The identification of the areas requiring more regular cleaning will be done in partnership with other drainage agencies such as the Environment Agency. PART TWO to be completed three months after Cabinet Member’s response Response from the Communities Department to progress on carrying out recommendation Date due Date provided The current aim is to make more effective use of existing budgets, and to ensure that in areas prone to flooding the gullies are kept clean as well as the drainage system that the gullies connect to, in partnership with drainage agencies. Many reports of blocked gullies are due to other problems in the drainage system, and it is important that we address the wider issue including maintenance, breakages and improvements.

  • 69: Trent Valley Washlands Area Profile: Supporting Documents
    National Character 69: Trent Valley Washlands Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 69: Trent Valley Washlands Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.
