    PRELIMINARY CENTRAL LINCOLNSHIRE SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY STUDY September 2014 (Produced to support the Preliminary Draft Central Lincolnshire Local Plan) CONTENTS Page 1. Introduction 1 2. Policy Context 1 3. Methodology 2 4. Central Lincolnshire’s Settlements 2 5. The Settlement Categories 3 6. The Criteria 4 7. Applying the Criteria 6 8. Policy and ‘Localism’ Aspirations 9 9. Next Steps 9 Appendix: Services and Facilities in 10 Central Lincolnshire Settlements 1. Introduction 1.1. A settlement hierarchy ranks settlements according to their size and their range of services and facilities. When coupled with an understanding of the possible capacity for growth, this enables decisions to be taken about the most appropriate planning strategy for each settlement. 1.2. One of the primary aims of establishing a settlement hierarchy is to promote sustainable communities by bringing housing, jobs and services closer together in an attempt to maintain and promote the viability of local facilities and reduce the need to travel to services and facilities elsewhere. A settlement hierarchy policy can help to achieve this by concentrating housing growth in those settlements that already have a range of services (as long as there is capacity for growth), and restricting it in those that do not. 1.3. In general terms, larger settlements that have a higher population and more services and facilities are more sustainable locations for further growth. However, this may not always be the case. A larger settlement may, for example, have physical constraints that cannot be overcome and therefore restrict the scope for further development. Conversely, a smaller settlement may be well located and with few constraints, and suitable for new development on a scale that might be accompanied by the provision of new services and facilities.

  • EAST MIDLANDS REGION - Wednesday 8 June 2016
    MINUTES OF THE DECISIONS OF THE COMMISSION ON THE INITIAL PROPOSALS FOR THE EAST MIDLANDS REGION - Wednesday 8 June 2016 Session 1: Wednesday 8 June 2016 Present: David Elvin QC, Commissioner Neil Pringle, Commissioner Sam Hartley, Secretary to the Commission Tony Bellringer, Deputy Secretary to the Commission Tim Bowden, Head of Reviews Glenn Reed, Review Manager Sam Amponsah, Review Officer Mr Reed and Mr Amponsah presented the Secretariat's schemes to Commissioners. Lincolnshire The Commissioners considered that, due to its almost whole allocation of constituencies with a Theoretical Entitlement (TE) to 6.97 constituencies, Lincolnshire could be treated on its own and should continue to be allocated seven constituencies. Commissioners considered that the two constituencies of Gainsborough, and South Holland and the Deepings could remain wholly unchanged, while Grantham and Stamford CC, and Louth and Horncastle CC would be changed following changes to local government ward boundaries. The electorate of the existing Sleaford and North Hykeham CC constituency was too large at 86,652, while that of its neighbouring constituencies of Lincoln BC (at 67,115) and Boston and Skegness CC (66,250) were too small. Commissioners therefore agreed that the five wards comprising the town of North Hykeham, and the Waddington West ward be included in the new Lincoln constituency, which in turn loses the Bracebridge Heath and Waddington East ward to the Sleaford constituency. It would not be possible to retain this ward in the Lincoln constituency without dividing the town of North Hykeham. In order to further reduce the electorate of the existing Sleaford and North Hykeham constituency, and to increase that of Boston and Skegness, Commissioners also agreed the transfer of the additional two wards of Kirkby la Thorpe and South Kyme, and Heckington Rural from the existing Sleaford constituency.
