  • Appendix 3: Historic Environment Character Zones Assessments for Gnosall
    Appendix 3: Historic Environment Character Zones Assessments for Gnosall This appendix provides an assessment of the historic environment for each of the Historic Environment Character Zones (HECZs) which lies around the villages of Gnosall and Gnosall Heath. It should be noted that the information and any recommendations contained within this appendix is subject to amendment should any new information become available. For further information regarding the Historic Environment Record (HER); Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) and designated sites please contact: Cultural Environment Team Environment & Countryside Development Services Directorate Staffordshire County Council Riverway Stafford ST16 3TJ Tel: 01785 277281/277285/277290 Email: [email protected] Staffordshire County Council August 2009 1 GHECZ 1 – Coton (HECA 33) Summary The historic landscape character of the zone is dominated by squatter enclosure with an associated dispersed settlement pattern. This historic landscape may have its origins in the medieval period, but probably mostly dates to the 16th century when Coton End is first recorded. Squatter enclosure is a rare historic landscape character type within Staffordshire and is consequently sensitive to change. There is also the potential for evidence of earlier settlement to survive either as below or above ground archaeology or within the fabric of the historic farmsteads. Also contributing significantly to the historic landscape character of the zone are the two lines of transportation. The canal, designated as a Conservation Area, remains an important feature in the landscape and whilst the tracks of the railway have been lifted its form is still prominent within the zone. Medium to large scale development within the zone will have a significant impact on the historic environment of the zone.

  • Once Upon a Time There Was a Small Town in a Bend of a River and A
    Further Electoral Review of Stafford Borough Council Submission by Councillor Robert Stephens and Neil Thomas Introduction This is an independent submission by Councillor Robert Stephens (who represents the Milford ward on Stafford Borough Council) and Neil Thomas, a Doxey parish councillor and political journalist who has previously made submissions to the LGBCE and its predecessor concerning the last two reviews of Staffordshire County Council’s electoral arrangements. Councillor Stephens made a representation to the Commission at the preliminary stage on council size. Mr Thomas did not. Neither of us supported a reduction in the size of the council but since the Commission is minded to do so we are making what we regard as a constructive submission. Council size For reasons we explain in more detail below, we believe it is more practical to reduce the number of councillors to 44 than to 40 as proposed by Stafford Borough Council. The main reason for this lies in the difficulty inherent in dividing Stafford town into meaningful wards represented by 19 councillors – the number required if the total number is to be only 40. We contend coherent boundaries are more easily achieved if Stafford town were to be represented by 21 councillors. Inevitably, the need to achieve a good degree of electoral equality requires that Stone town should be represented by six councillors and the countryside surrounding both towns by 17 – one more each than is proposed by the borough council. The average number of electors per councillor with 44 members would be 2,315. Our submission would reduce the number of councillors by more than 25%, compared with the 32% advocated by the Conservative and Labour parties in their submissions.

  • 13. Socio-Economic Impacts
    Greenpark Energy Ltd April 2010 13. Socio-Economic Impacts 13.1 Summary This chapter assessed the potential impacts of the proposed CBM gas development upon employment, financial investment and tourism at the Swynnerton site and the wider area. The proposed CBM gas development should lead to additional spend of wages into the local economy and opportunities for local accommodation providers and other local services to construction workers who do not live locally. This is considered to be a significant positive effect. Furthermore, the proposed CBM gas development offers potential opportunities for local people to be employed. This in turn may also generate additional expenditure in the local economy. This is considered to be a positive effect. Consequently, the overall socio-economic impact from the proposed CBM gas development at the Swynnerton site is assessed as positive and significant to the local area. The minimal loss of earnings from agriculture on the proposed site is outweighed by the income provided to the landowner. This is a positive effect associated with the development. Due to the scale of the development and lack of tourist attractions in the immediate vicinity of the site, the effect on tourism is considered neutral. 13.2 Introduction This chapter assesses the potential economic and social effects that may arise as a result of the site preparation, drilling, production, and restoration activities of the proposed CBM gas development at the Swynnerton site. 13.3 Relevant Legislation, Policies and Guidelines There is no specific legislation that relates to this chapter. However, the following guidelines have informed this assessment: Tyldesley, D.

I have repro­ duced this (half-size) on the next two pages so that The Rt.Hon.Lord Stafford you can compare it with our present journal. It was Swynnerton Park sent to about 30 members of the family - today I send Staffs. out over 200.
