The village itself has retained much of its agricultural character due to working farms within the historic core.There are 25 Listed Buildings in the village, and a Scheduled Ancient Monument of a medieval settlement, watermill and remains to the north west of the village. All of the village and it's surrounding area is a Conservation Area with Article 4 Designation, Historic Environment except for the modern council housing to the west, adjacent to the railway line.

The village falls within the flat, open landscape character type of Vale of Catmose. There is evidence of field boundary loss and non-agricultural use of land around Ashwell. Ashwell is a nucleated village, with a close knit core, and a more loosely knit character along the northern and eastern extremities derived from the important open spaces and frontages. Ironstone is a predominant building material for both smaller and larger houses, along with its use for Landscape & Townscape boundary walls. Grade 3 agricultural land surrounds the entire village. The village itself is classified as 'Land predominantly in urban use.' North of the village is grade 1 land, with a mixture of grade 1 Agricultural land and 2 land to the south west of the village.

Areas of concern for residents included speeding traffic and heavy lorries, issues surrounding the bus stop on Oakham Road, and improvements to the village hall. There was support for: large communal spaces; sustainable energy in the form of solar panels on buildings; development of work opportunities; restriction of residential development to infill only; and, provision for young people. In terms of the village design considerations the following are some of the key issues highlighted: importance of village gardens; future construction of single and 1 1/2 storey dwelling houses in the 'modern zone'; maintenance of open spaces; importance of stone walling; concern over light pollution; and, use of materials to be sympathetic to surroundings.

Local Issues at 2009 Cottesmore Village Plan (produced 2007) addresses the social and physical needs of the village, with scarcely any information relating to the design or character. Areas of concern for residents included: heavy and fast traffic through the village (route to A1); lack of car parking around The Sun Inn; use of gardens within the Conservation Area for infilling; and lack of affordable housing. Suggested actions for the future were: greater use of local stone as a building material; provision of smaller, affordable homes in next 5 years with a local connection preferred; and refurbishment of Sports and Social Club and Village Hall. The idea of housing development within or near village quite well received.

Cottesmore Parish Council were reviewing: affordable housing; the extension of the Rogues Lane Cemetery; and the refurbishment of the play equipment at Austhorp Grove.

Local Issues at 2013 Cottesmore Parish Council feel there is a need for further affordable housing, as previously identified in the Village Plan. Concerns were highlighted about further development within the village.

Local Issues at 2009 Great Casterton Parish Plan was produced in 2005 to address both the social and physical needs of the village. The main concerns relate to heavy traffic, especially HGV, and its associated problems - speed, congestion and noise pollution; environmental; future development; the level of policing in the village; and the lack of recreational facilities for young people. High priority was given to conservation and environmental protection. New housing development should be limited but mixed for local people. Ideally on brownfield land, as well designed single dwellings or infill development.

Great Casterton Parish Council have advised that: the hall in the village is owned and managed by the Parochial Church Council. The sports and recreation grounds within Casterton Business and Enterprise College are only available on a repayment basis plus the appropriate insurance.

Local Issues at 2013 The parish council have highlighted concerns for large scale development and a need for more mixed housing. Concerns highlighted on the potential impacts upon the village should SKDC propose extensive development on the edges of Stamford.

The main areas of exclusion are the modern estates of Geeston to the south east and the large estate to the south west, off Historic Environment Luffenham Road. There are 80 Listed Buildings. Ketton is located in the valley of the River Chater, within the landscape character type of Welland Valley, Middle Valley East. The River Chater and its adjoining meadows are particularly significant within the village between Aldgate and Bull Lane. Mature trees in Ketton Park, the grounds of the Priory and the Cottage and between Geeston and Ketton make the south western part of the village particularly attractive. Ketton is a large village which originally was linear with an attractive close knit concentration of properties at Aldgate and Geeston. Recent housing estates off Empingham Road and Luffenham Road are prominent when the village is approached from the north and west, but are separate from and therefore do not detract from the historic core. Older buildings are predominantly limestone with Collyweston slate roofs. The dominant feature of Ketton is the cement works, immediately to the east of the village. There are also small industrial premises located in the Landscape & Townscape vicinity, which detracts from the rural local environment. The majority of the village is classified as 'land predominantly in urban use' with grade 3 land surrounding the entire village. Grade 4 land is present within the north-east quarter of the Agricultural land village. Further north 'other land primarily in non-agricultural use' is present.

Local Issues at 2009

Ketton Parish Plan was produced in 2006 to address both the social and physical needs of the village. A high proportion of the residents supported no further housing, with up to 30 houses as the next preference. It was suggested that brownfield/quarry sites and limited infill development of large gardens should be utilised for this purpose. There was support for affordable housing for young people with local connections; increased shopping facilities; a bypass; a purpose built community centre; reinstatement of Ketton station; and a variety of youth requirements for outdoor sporting facilities. Areas for concern related to parking; an insufficient bus service; and speeding traffic.

Local Issues at 2013

Ketton Parish Council would like to see development of a mixed size, such as 2 & 3 bed homes which have sufficient off road parking. The parish suggested including Hall Close as an area of Important Open Space, however, this piece of land is outside the planned limits of development. The Site Allocations & Policies DPD proposed submission document allocates 3 sites for housing in phase 1 of the plan H4 - land adjacent to Chater House, High Street, H5 - Home Farm, High Street & H6 - Land at the Crescent, Stamford Road, and phase 2 of the plan H8 - land adjacent to Empingham Road. Examination of the the DPD by a Planning Inspector expected July 2013.

Although the core, running along the Brook (Church St, Well St and Burley Rd) define the essential nature of the village. The grounds of the Old Hall and other substantial properties in the centre of the village are important features as are lengths of high stone walls surrounding them. Limestone is the predominant building material with a mixture of Collyweston, thatch and blue slate roofs. More recently the principal building materials are ironstone and red or buff brick. In recent years Ranksborough Hall and caravan Landscape & Townscape park, to the north west of the village, has developed significantly. The majority of the village is classified as 'land predominantly in urban use' with a large extension of grade 2 land to the east. Grade 3 land surrounds the village on its south, western and northern boundaries. Further west is an isolated area of land classified as 'other Agricultural land land primarily in non-agricultural use'.

Local Issues at 2009 Langham Village Design Statement was prepared in 2002. The key issues for the parish relate to the high volume of traffic passing through on the A606, and the preservation of the Brook and village views.

Langham Parish Council has a Burial Ground near the allotment site.

Biodiversity No areas of interest within or adjoining town.

The whole of the town centre and some large adjoining areas, including Catmose Park are within a designated Conservation Area. There are 127 Listed Buildings, and 2 Scheduled Ancient Monuments, Oakham Castle, Medieval- Historic Environment Saxon castle, motte and bailey, and Butter Cross, early Post-Medieval market. Oakham is situated within the flat landscape character type of the Vale of Catmose, which runs north/south and is adjoined to the east and west by rising, undulating land. This higher exposed countryside is important to the setting of Oakham, especially from distant views. It also provides extensive views over the town when it is approached from Burley and Barnsdale from the east, and from the west and south west from Cold Overton and Brooke. Oakham has a historic centre based on the Norman Castle, the Market Place and early buildings of Oakham School (Oakham School property is extensive within the town). The core area is predominantly constructed of limestone with Collyweston roofs, and with 19th century buildings primarily of red brick and blue slate roofs. The construction of the railway in the 19th century to the west of the town constrained its growth westwards until the 1960's. Large housing estates were built in the 60s, 70s and 80s to the west, north west and east of the town. With more recent housing developments on brownfield sites within the town centre, and on vacant land to the east. The extensive housing estates to the east have now been bounded by the Oakham Bypass, which was completed in 2007. Industrial/employment development is concentrated west of the town along Cold Overton Road and to the north of the town is a purpose built estate off Pillings Road/Lands End Way. Important open spaces within Oakham are fairly limited. However, of historic importance and community value are Cutts Close and the grounds of Oakham Castle. Catmose Park on the south/south eastern side of the town is of great importance and provides a link to the countryside, this is also the case for the agricultural showground to the north west. Landscape & Townscape The main core of Oakham is classified as 'land predominantly in urban use', which is encompassed along all four Agricultural land boundaries by grade 3 land. Large plots of grade 2 land are present within the northern, eastern and southern quarters.

Residents proposed that Castle Cement should develop a new entrance off the A606, in order to reduce heavy traffic through Tinwell.

Work is due to start on a Housing Survey with a view to finding if there is demand in the parish for an affordable housing scheme within the parish.

Tinwell Parish Council intend to establish a children's play area within the next 5 years.

Local Issues at 2013 The parish council have highlighted their concern for maintaining the Important Open Space designation on their playing field.

The main issues raised related to: the retention of small businesses and services (suggested that COU of retail buildings to dwellings should not be granted); making affordable housing for local people a priority; sporadic public transport; speeding traffic; and lack of facilities for young people. With over 50% of housing built since 1968 there is an extensive range of materials used throughout the village. Two storey development that may spoil the views of the focal points, and large estates should be avoided.

Currently a Parish Plan is in progress, analysis of questionnaire results is taking place before a draft action plan is compiled.

Whissendine Parish Council has identified the need for upgrading youth facilities in the village, with some outdoor provision.

Local Issues at 2013
