Leicestershire County Council 2015 Leicestershire County Council Consultation Statement Consultation Statement 1.0 Consultation Statement 1.1 As the first stage in the production of the Minerals and Waste Local Plan, the County Council published the following documents in November 2013: Leicestershire Minerals and Waste Local Plan: Issues Document; Leicestershire Minerals and Waste Local Plan Review - Sustainability Appraisal incorporating Strategic Environmental Assessment: Scoping Report. 1.2. The bodies with contact details listed in Appendix 1 were consulted by email or letter with a request for any comments to be provided by 24th January 2014. The documents, together with a summary leaflet and a response form, were made available on the County’s website (www.leics.gov.uk). The consultation exercise was also publicised by means of an advertisement placed in local newspapers. 1.3. A total of 70 groups and individuals responded to the Minerals and Waste Issues Consultation document. 28 of the responses were from councils (3 from District Councils; 12 from Parish Councils; 6 from adjoining Councils; and 7 from other councils), 12 from industry (7 from mineral companies and 5 from waste companies), 9 from statutory consultees, 2 from County Council Departments, 14 from other organisations, 2 from landowners and 3 from private individuals.

The reason for the high number of representations received was mainly due to the number of questions posed (61) within the consultation document. 1.5. Six respondents expressed no comments in respect of the issues raised, namely Coventry Airport Limited, Homes and Communities Agency, Doncaster Metropolitan Borough, HSE, Public Health England, and Erewash BC. 1.6. The average number of responses per question was 11. Of the 61 questions, 22 received less than 10 responses, 29 received between 10 and 15 responses, and 8 received more than 15 responses. The questions that elicited the higher number of responses related to the spatial vision and strategic objectives (27 responses), waste sites safeguarding (23), key issues (20), future provision of aggregates (19), reclamation and aftercare (18), woodland (17), extensions to existing sand and gravel sites (17) and non-strategic waste sites (16). 1.7. The comments made in respect of each question and the way in which the Council has responded are set out in Appendix 2. 1.8. The preparation of the Consultation Draft Leicestershire Minerals and Waste Local Plan document has taken into account the comments received on the Issues document. 3 Consultation Statement – Appendix

Overgrowth is an issue throughout the village, there is a mix of responsibility for the overgrowth including Canal & River Trust, SDDC, DCC and private householders. Cllr Perks and Cllr Lees spent a large amount of time completing a village walk and making note of areas requiring action and these are now all being actioned. Cllr Hawksworth gave details of restraints the farming community face with hedge cutting due to nesting season – there is also the issue of the weather causing excessive growth this year.

We have a rapidly growing and ageing population, although the age profile of our residents overall remains younger than regional and national norms. Levels of economic activity remain high within the Parish and Ellistown and Battleflat remains a popular place to live, with demand for new homes high. Residents have told us, through consultation, that they value the peacefulness of the Parish and its proximity to the countryside. Residents wish to maintain these qualities, but also recognise that the Parish must continue to grow to reflect the need for development across the District. The Parish through major projects such as the South East Coalville Development Scheme will see a considerable amount of new housing and employment opportunities.

  • Coalville Fringe Assessment
    Urban Fringe 1: Western edge of Thringstone and New Swannington 1: View from School Lane 2: View from Red Hill Lane Element Assessment Score The Coalfield: Gently undulating landscape with effects of past and present coal and clay working. It displays a relatively dense pattern of former mining towns and villages characterised by 19th century mining terraces which follow the roads. The landscape is characterised by mixed farmland although away from settlements the land is mostly arable. There is generally low woodland cover. The land contains areas of restored land, some including establishing heathland, once far more extensive. Around Coalville the landscape is influenced by Bardon 21 warehousing, Bardon quarry and other light industrial development. Bardon Hill and quarry are features within views. The assessment notes that the land is part of the National Forest. Northern tip is part of Charnwood Forest: The underlying pre-Cambrian rocks result in a varied, hilly landform with exposed crags and rocky knolls and fast-flowing streams, resulting in a distinctive County Landscape character. The area has a high concentration of mixed deciduous and coniferous woodland, including many ancient woodland sites, hedges and hedgerow trees, some of which is unmanaged. The character area area is characterised by an intimate mixture of woodland and farmland in mixed arable and pasture uses. The area’s acidic soils support pockets of heathland vegetation, particularly around rocky outcrops, where the land has never been taken into cultivation. There is variable field patterns, with irregular fields often bounded by mixed hedges contrasted with long narrow rectilinear fields with stone walls.

  • Leicestershire Sustainable Community Strategy
    LEICESTERSHIRE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY STRATEGY FINAL DRAFT MARCH 2008 1 Introduction I am pleased to present our Sustainable Community Strategy to you on behalf of Leicestershire Together, the Local Strategic Partnership for Leicestershire. Leicestershire Together includes all of the organisations and partnerships that deliver public services in Leicestershire, and we seek to improve the quality of life and of public services in the County. This draft Sustainable Community Strategy proposes priorities for improvement in Leicestershire over the next 5 years. These are largely based upon two draft evidence base reports ‘This is Leicestershire’ and ‘Places in Leicestershire’. The structure of the new Sustainable Community Strategy is quite different to that of the previous Community Strategy in that it focuses on what we are going to do rather than how we are going to do it. Our second Local Area Agreement (LAA2) is the key delivery framework for the strategy (the ‘how’ bit) – and more details on the LAA can be found later in this document. The challenge that faces us now is to deliver the ambitions outlined in this Strategy, making a real and measurable difference to the lives of Leicestershire people. David Parsons Chair, Leicestershire Together Contact details: Telephone: 0116 305 6977/8137 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.leicestershiretogether.org Write to us: Policy Team, Chief Executives Department, Leicestershire County Council, County Hall, Glenfield, Leicestershire LE3 8RA 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Leicestershire Together Leicestershire Together is the Local Strategic Partnership for Leicestershire and includes all of the organisations and partnerships that deliver public services in the County. Our aim is to improve the quality of life for the people of Leicestershire and make Leicestershire the best possible place to live and work for everyone.

  • Flanagan's Running Club – Issue 31
    Flanagan's Running Club – Issue 31 Introduction The first rule of Flanagan's Running Club is everyone should be telling everyone they know about Flanagan's Running Club! After all, sharing is caring. Details of how to sign up is in the epilogue. There is no need to panic, there is no actual running involved, it is not a running club in that sense. The title is made up from extending the title of my favourite book – Flanagan’s Run by Tom McNab. So enjoy the read. On This Day – 10th February 1870 - The YWCA is founded in New York City. 1940 - Tom and Jerry make their debut with Puss Gets the Boot. 1996 - IBM supercomputer Deep Blue defeats Garry Kasparov in chess for the first time. It’s Feast of St. Paul's Shipwreck (Malta) Fenkil Day (Eritrea) 365 Reasons To Be Proud To Be A Londoner - Magical Moments in London's History What is the bestselling novel ever, in any language? Thankfully it’s not 50 Shades, but A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens (200 million copies sold). Dickens created some of the most memorable characters in literary history, including Oliver Twist, Ebenezer Scrooge, Mr Micawber, Miss Havisham and Uriah Heep. ‘Dickensian London’ has entered our imagination as a real place – not that you’d like to go there. And it was today in 1836 that Dickens’ first novel, The Pickwick Papers, was commissioned as a monthly serial. It was an immediate success, bringing the twenty-four-year-old writer instant fame.
