The updated report has been prepared to replace the work that was included in the previous SFRA and provide appropriate supporting evidence for each Council’s Local Plan. The SFRA update will be used in decision making and to inform decisions on the location of future development and the preparation of sustainable policies for the long-term management of flood risk. Since the previous SFRA there have been a number of changes to the planning system, including the Localism Act (2011) and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2012) with accompanying Planning Practice Guidance (March 2014). In addition, the provisions of the Flood and Water Management Act (2010) have been substantially commenced under a programme that was initiated by Defra in April 2010 and the Flood Risk Regulations came into force in December 2009 (these regulations transposed the EU ‘Floods Directive’ into UK law). The purpose of this SFRA update is to • provide information on the changes to planning, policy and guidance since the previous SFRA; • provide a detailed assessment of any flood hazard within the Flood Zones; • provide information on existing defences and flood risk management measures; • allow a sequential approach to site allocation to be undertaken within a flood zone; and • allow development of the policies and practices required to ensure that development in Flood Zones 2 and 3 satisfies the requirements of the Exception Test. SFRA objectives The Planning Practice Guidance advocates a tiered approach to risk assessment and identifies the following two levels of SFRA 1. Level One: where flooding is not a major issue and where development pressures are low. The Assessment should be sufficiently detailed to allow application of the Sequential Test 2. Level Two: where land outside Flood Zones 2 and 3 cannot appropriately accommodate all the necessary development creating the need to apply the NPPF’s Exception Test. In these circumstances the Assessment should consider the detailed nature of the flood characteristics within a flood zone. The objectives of this SFRA update are a hybrid of level one and level two. SFRA outputs This version of the SFRA delivers: Level one outputs • Maps showing the local planning authority area, Main Rivers, ordinary watercourses, and Flood Zones • An assessment of the implications of climate change for flood risk at assessment sites • Areas at risk from other sources of flooding, for example surface water or reservoir • Flood risk management measures, including location and standard of flood defences, flood warning coverage and emergency plans • Recommendations about the identification of critical drainage areas and the potential need for surface water management plans • Advice on the likely applicability of sustainable drainage systems for managing surface water runoff at key development sites 1 Joint Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (JBA Consulting, November 2007) 2014s1272 Joint SFRA Final Report v1.0 Oct 2014).doc vi • Advice on the preparation of flood risk assessments for development sites Level two outputs • An appraisal of current conditions of flood defence infrastructure • An appraisal of the probability and consequences of overtopping or failure of flood risk management infrastructure, including an allowance for climate change • Definition and mapping of the functional floodplain • Definition and mapping of o Flood depth o Flood velocity o Flood hazard • Maps showing the distribution of flood risk across all Flood Zones from all sources of flooding • Advice on appropriate policies for sites which could satisfy the first part of the Exception Test and on the requirements that would be necessary for a site-specific flood risk assessment supporting a planning application to pass the second part of the Exception Test • Advice on the preparation of site-specific flood risk assessments for sites of varying risk across the Flood Zones, including information about the use of sustainable drainage techniques • Recommendations to inform policy, development control and technical issues Summary • The Joint SFRA update has considered all sources of flooding, including fluvial, pluvial, groundwater, canal, reservoir and sewer flooding, within Hinckley & Bosworth Borough, Blaby District and Oadby & Wigston Borough. • An assessment of the flood defences in the joint SFRA area has been undertaken, including defence condition and standard and the residual risk. • Flood risk has been assessed for all supplied development options. • Guidance for the requirements for a site specific Flood Risk Assessment for these sites is provided (Appendix A), as well as general guidance on flood risk assessment for any development proposals within the joint SFRA area. • The updated Flood Map for Surface Water is provided, indicating the likelihood of surface water flooding in the joint SFRA area. • Surface water flooding is a risk in many of the areas. Advice has been provided regarding suitable SuDS options. • A broad scale assessment of the cumulative impact of development and cross-boundary issues has been undertaken. • Green Infrastructure within the joint SFRA area has been assessed and the Water Framework Directive (WFD) status of the joint SFRA area’s watercourses assessed. Recommendations Key recommendations • It is recommended that the mapping produced for this SFRA update is used in preference to the previous SFRA published in 2007. • It is recommended that

Closing Date: 15th January 2017 www.leicestershire.gov.uk/ admissions Your Guide to Primary Education 2017-2018 WELCOME Welcome On behalf of Leicestershire County Council, I am pleased to welcome parents, carers and children to this year’s Your Guide to Primary Education for entry September 2017, and general admissions throughout the academic year 2017-18. The first time admissions outcomes for this year have been extremely pleasing. The Local Authority was able to secure preferred schools for over 97% of Leicestershire parents and carers, with 91% getting their first choice of school. Added to this the highest ever percentage of parents and carers, 96.1%, applied online. With this in mind I would like to invite parents and carers of children seeking first time admissions from September 2017 to start considering which school they would like their child to attend. It is important to understand that you must apply and that there is a closing date. The application process for primary school - first time admissions begins from1st June 2016 and closes 15th January 2017, and the recommended way to apply is through Leicestershire’s online application system. There are a few key steps to make the process more straightforward that I would like to advise parents and carers of, and would urge that you consider these carefully, these are: • To read this booklet and understand what you need to do; • That you visit schools on open days before making you final decision; • Consider how you will get your child to and from school; • That the best way to apply is online; • That you must apply by the closing date 15th January 2017.

    MEMBERS' INFORMATION SERVICE Information Item From: THE DIRECTOR OF HIGHWAYS, TRANSPORTATION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT Circulated to: ALL MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY COUNCIL Date: 16 MAY 2008 ASSESSMENT SYSTEM FOR ‘REDUCING THE IMPACT OF TRAFFIC’ (RIOT) SCHEMES Purpose 1. To provide members with an overview of the assessment system for the prioritisation of schemes under the Local Transport Plan (LTP) objective of ‘Reducing the Impact of Traffic (RIOT) on communities’; and to advise on the outcomes of assessments undertaken to date. The Assessment System 2. The primary objective of the assessment system is to identify schemes which are likely to be effective in meeting the 12% speed reduction target of the LTP. The system uses set criteria by which schemes can be assessed and prioritised. These relate to: - initial assessment • the existing speed of traffic – average 85%ile speed from surveys (see paragraph 3 below) further assessment • traffic volume • the intensity of frontage development along the route • the number and type of community facilities 1 • the number of personal injury accidents 3. Requests for RIOT schemes are only further assessed when the average 85%ile speed of traffic is at or above the recommended enforcement limit set by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO); 10% + 2mph above the prevailing speed limit. e.g. a road subject to a 30mph speed limit would only be considered for a RIOT scheme if the average 85%ile speeds where at or above 35mph . The 85%ile indicates the speed at which 85% of the traffic using the road is either travelling at or below.

    Liberal Democrat submission for BCE 3rd consultation East Midlands Submission to the Boundary Commission for England third period of consultation: East Midlands Summary There is a factual error in the Commission’s report concerning the Liberal Democrat counter-proposals in the Leicestershire / Northamptonshire / Nottinghamshire / Rutland sub-region. We would, therefore, ask the Commission to reconsider the scheme we put forward. We welcome the change the Commission has made to its proposal for Mansfield. We welcome the fact that the Commission has kept to its original proposals in Lincolnshire, much of Derbyshire and Derby, and in Northampton. We consider that the changes that the Commission has made to four constituencies in Derbyshire, affecting the disposition of three wards, are finely balanced judgement calls with which we are content to accept the Commission’s view. The change that the Commission has made to the Kettering and Wellingborough constituencies would not have needed to be considered if it had agreed to our proposal for an unchanged Wellingborough seat. The Commission’s proposal to move the Burton Joyce and Stoke Bardolph ward into its proposed Sherwood constituency means that it is now proposing three Nottinghamshire constituencies (Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Sherwood) which contain a ward which is inaccessible from the rest of the seat. We are not in agreement with the Commission’s failure to comply with the spirit of the legislation or the letter of its own guidelines in respect of these three proposed constituencies. We are not in agreement with the Commission’s failure to respect the boundaries of the City of Nottingham to the extent of proposing three constituencies that cross the Unitary Authority boundary.
