  • Rural Settlement List 2014
    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.

  • A Review of the Tectonic History of the Shropshire Area
    ISSN 1750-855X (Print) ISSN 1750-8568 (Online) A review of the tectonic history of the Shropshire area 1 James Butler BUTLER, J.B. (1990). A review of the tectonic history of the Shropshire area. Proceedings of the Shropshire Geological Society , 9, 20–34. A review of the tectonic data available for Shropshire, relating this to information which has become available from the exploration of the north-west continental shelf. The tectonic history of Shropshire records short bursts of compression producing folding and wrench faulting as a result of continental collision, followed by longer periods of tension, deposition and reversal of movement along the wrench fault system. The County lies upon the Midland Block, comprising Longmyndian and Charnian rock to which was accreted Island Arc volcanics and related sediments along the line of the Pontesford Lineament in the late Precambrian. The so-called "Caledonian grain" was determined at this time and was reactivated many times subsequently. Sediments were folded during the Taconic pulse in mid-Ordovician, and then continental collision along the Iapetus suture in mid-Devonian intensified the Caledonian grain. At the end of the Devonian, collision occurred to the south of the Midland Block. Pulses during the Carboniferous produced the Hercynian basins and welded the continents into one super-continent: Pangea. Break-up of Pangea was followed by a taphrogenic regime with rifting (Cimmerian) in the Permo-Triassic and early Cretaceous. Compressive forces operated at the end of the Cretaceous with reactivation of old wrench faults. Finally, Styrian compression inverted the Weald-type basins and most likely elevated the Welsh Massif at the same time, some 10 million years ago.
