Lubenham Settlement Profile Introduction
Lubenham Settlement Profile Introduction General Location: Lubenham sits 2 miles west of Market Harborough. The village is situated on the A4304 which cuts through the village as it connects Market Harborough with Lutterworth and the M1. The parish is relatively large and populated, containing numerous settlements such as Lubenham village proper, Gartree Prison, Gartree village, Greenacres Traveller Park, and Bramfield Mobile Home Park. The most notable employers located in the area include Deichmann Shoes, who have their UK head office in the parish and the prison. Neighbouring villages include Foxton and Gumley (north), Laughton and Theddingworth (west), with Market Harborough town lying east. Also, the parish forms Harborough District’s southern boundary with Daventry District, with the border being marked by the course of the River Welland as it flows from its source near Husbands Bosworth towards Market Harborough, whilst also marking a long section of Leicestershire’s historic southern border with Northamptonshire. The Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal cuts through the parish in the north-west with Foxton Locks being no more than 500 metres further north along the waterway. Lubenham was a recipient of the prestigious ‘Village of the Year’ award in 2001, whereby the village performed considerably above average in the Community Involvement category. Evidence of this can be seen in the village throughout the calendar year, with the numerous local open spaces laying host to frequent and popular fundraising events as well as some extremely well-represented clubs and societies that meet often. Most popular include Open Gardens, Lubenham Heritage, Lubenham Raiders (having been joined by some very distinguished guests) and The Triumph Sports Six Club (the largest such club in the world). -
Church Langton Settlement Profile Introduction
Church Langton Settlement Profile Introduction General Location: Church Langton village (lying north) along with East Langton village (lying south) both constitute the civil parish of East Langton (hereby referred to as ‘Church Langton’), as well as both being part of five villages known collectively as ‘the Langtons’ (with Tur Langton to the north, West Langton to the west, and Thorpe Langton to the East). Beyond the parish’s borders with other Langton villages, the village also borders Great Bowden to the south and Stonton Wyville to the north-east. Church Langton lies 5 miles north of Market Harborough, and 4 miles east of Kibworth with the A6 passing less than 1 mile south of the parish. The 13th century-constructed Church of St Peter is the parish’s most distinguished feature; a collegiate-type church of strikingly large proportions that sits 400ft above sea-level whilst also forming the parish’s historic separation. Overall, the parish is linear in form, stretching for almost 2 miles (north-south), with most community services and facilities being centrally located. East Langton is separated from Church Langton by Langton Road that dissects the parish into a northerly and southerly area. Langton Brook runs west-east through the southern tip of the parish, before joining the River Welland to the east. The East Midlands Trains line also crosses the southerly tip of the parish in a similar movement. The village of Church Langton is identified as a Selected Rural Village in the Core Strategy and as such, is outlined as a settlement that would potentially benefit from the support of limited development such as rural housing. -

Archaeology in Leicestershire and Rutland 1993
Archaeology in Leicestershire and Rutland 1993 EXCAVATIONS: INTERIM REPORTS The medieval Trent bridges at Lynden Cooper and Susan Ripper Hemington Fields, Castle Donington (SK 459 302) Since the excavation of the Norman mill dam in 1985 by the Leicestershire Archaeological Unit, continued surveillance of the quarry has been undertaken by Dr. C.R. Salisbury (illus.l; see below p.179) . In August 1993 the Leicestershire Archaeological Unit was informed of two substantial timber and stone structures, the pier bases for a bridge. These were revealed during overburden stripping prior to gravel extraction. Subsequent excavation revealed two further pier bases for the bridge, provisionally dated to the mid 13th century. As excavations were being completed on this structure yet more massive timbers were uncovered at the quarry face, some 50m to the north-east. A second programme of excavation was therefore undertaken which revealed an even earlier bridge, of 11 th/12th century date. A third bridge structure was also found, located between the latter bridges, but had to be recorded under watching brief conditions. This structure has a provisional early 13th century date. After three months of excavation and two months of watching brief it is now possible to give some indication of the findings (illus. 2). The 11th/12th century bridge (illus. 2-5) The earliest bridge identified, incorporated the remains of two partially collapsed pier bases, a double row of posts (which may represent a second phase of bridge) and a collapsed trestle structure. The north-western extent of the bridge was quarried away during gravel extraction in 1991, although four upright posts were recorded which undoubtedly represent the continuation of the double row of posts (see below p.160). -
Planning Committee
14/00833/FUL – Theddingworth Development of a renewable energy farm, to Abbey Renewables Solar Energy Limited include the installation of solar panels, Target Date: 12.09.2014 transformer rooms and plant, temporary access and on-site tracks, security fencing and cameras, landscaping and other associated works, at Land At Beeches Farm, Mowsley Road, Theddingworth COMMITTEE SITE VISIT Recommendation: REFUSE for the following reasons: 1. The proposal, by virtue of its size, siting and visual prominence, would appear as a dominant and visually intrusive feature in the landscape, and would detrimentally affect the character of this part of the Welland Valley landscape. The proposed development therefore fails to accord with Policies CS9 and CS17 of the Harborough District Core Strategy and paragraph 17 of the National Planning Policy Framework. 2. The proposal, by virtue of its size, location and prominence, would appear as a dominant and intrusive feature, that would detrimentally affect the significance and setting of the Theddingworth Conservation Area and the Husbands Bosworth Conservation Area, the Grade I listed Church of All Saints Church, Theddingworth and the Grade II listed Theddingworth Lodge. The proposed development therefore fails to accord with Policies CS9 and CS11 of the Harborough District Core Strategy and paragraphs 132 and 134 of the National Planning Policy Framework. 3. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposal would not detrimentally affect buried archaeological remains, and the application therefore fails to comply with Core Strategy Policy CS11 and paragraphs 128, 129 and 135 of the National Planning Policy Framework. Note: The decision has been reached taking into account paragraphs 186-187 of the National Planning Policy Framework. -

THE LOST CHAPEL of ST MORRELL, HALLATON Vicki Score and John Morison
THE LOST CHAPEL OF ST MORRELL, HALLATON Vicki Score and John Morison Every Easter Monday the small village of Hallaton in East Leicestershire is host to a strange rural custom – the ‘Hare Pie Scramble and Bottle Kicking’. This is a battle between Hallaton and the neighbouring village of Medbourne. The tradition is ancient, dating back to at least the seventeenth century. Recent research has revealed that Hare Pie Bank – the hill above the village on which the bottle kicking battle starts – has a much older history. Documentary research and excavations by the Hallaton Field Work Group have uncovered evidence that not only was the hilltop used by the Romans, but also a medieval chapel and burial ground, dedicated to St Morrell, once stood on the bank overlooking the village. ST MORRELL, HALLATON’S LOST SAINT John Morison An article written in 1931 on Leicestershire’s wells and springs mentions a well in the parish of Hallaton (Richardson 1931, 46). Further research among other documentary sources revealed references to both the well and St Morrell in the seventeenth-century Glebe Terriers (Morison 2000, 199). St Morrell probably represents St Maurilius of Angers, France, who was born in AD 363, the son of the Roman senator of Alpine Gaul. Maurilius went into the church, studied at Milan and Tours under St Martin, became a Benedictine monk and for many years lived as a hermit at Challonne sur Loire. Later, in Anjou on the Loire, he was ordained as the fourth bishop of Angers. Legends tell that at some time during his 30 years as bishop he visited England, where he worked as a gardener for an English noble. -
Scoping Opinion

The cumulative impact of the combined existing and proposed developments therefore require assessment. The Scoping report doesn’t make it clear that this is proposed. It also proposes to ‘scope-out’ a number of topics without a full justification. Therefore this scoping opinion picks up these topic areas for potential Environmental Assessment unless it can be demonstrated that they can be dealt with in the planning statement. .The scoping report has been the subject of consultation in accordance with the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations and copies of the responses received are attached for your information. You will note the specific points which have been made by the consultation bodies and you are required to have regard to these. -
North West Leicestershire Local Plan Partial Review
North West Leicestershire Local Plan Partial Review STATEMENT OF COMMON GROUND between Blaby District Council Charnwood Borough Council Harborough District Council Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council Leicester City Council Leicestershire County Council Melton Borough Council North West Leicestershire District Council Oadby & Wigston Borough Council Xx xxx 2019 1 Introduction 1.1 The North West Leicestershire Local Plan was adopted in November 2017. It sets out a strategy for delivering the homes, jobs and infrastructure needed in the district between 2011 and 2031. The Council committed to start a review of the plan within three months of the date of adoption. 1.2 There are two main reasons why an immediate review was required: A shortage of employment land up to 2031 compared to what is needed (as identified in the Leicester and Leicestershire Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment, or HEDNA) The possible need to accommodate additional housing arising from unmet needs in Leicester city. 1.3 The review commenced in February 2018. It was the district council’s intention that the review would be a ‘partial review’ to address those issues above. It was also the intention, as required by Policy S1 of the adopted Local Plan, to submit the review for Examination within two years of commencing it. 1.4 Through the granting of a number of planning permissions, the district council is making good progress towards addressing the shortage of employment land. However, there remains a lack of sufficient clarity regarding the issue of unmet housing need in Leicester City and how such need would be redistributed amongst the Leicester and Leicestershire authorities. -
