    Examinations of the Bromsgrove District Plan (BDP) and Borough of Redditch Local Plan No.4 (BORLP4) Hearing Statement: Response to Inspector’s Matters, Issues and Questions Matter XB1: Cross-boundary Allocations 5YHLS Joint Statement prepared by Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Councils 4th March 2016 Bromsgrove District Council and Redditch Borough Council Response to the Inspector’s Matters, issues and Questions Matter XB1 - Cross-boundary Allocations XB1.2 Do the Foxlydiate and Brockhill Urban Extensions represent the most appropriate locations for meeting Redditch’s housing needs within Bromsgrove District, having regard to the provision of the necessary infrastructure, affordable housing and other facilities, and taking account of environmental constraints? Is the methodology for selecting these sites robust and transparent? Has appropriate consideration been given to alternative locations? Have exceptional circumstances been demonstrated to justify the removal of land from the Green Belt? 1. In addition to the previous comments made in the previous Hearing Statements XB1/1a and XB1/1b dated 3 rd December 2014 and 8th June 2015 Bromsgrove District Council (BDC) and Redditch Borough Council (RBC) would like to take the opportunity to re-emphasise and add the following comments. 2. The Councils’ consider that the Foxlydiate and Brockhill East urban extensions represent the most appropriate locations for meeting Redditch’s housing needs within Bromsgrove District. The analysis that informs this view can be found in the Housing Growth Development Study (HGDS) [CDX1.1], and further explanation is found in the more recent Narrative on the Site Selection Process for the Growth Areas at Redditch January 2016 [“The Narrative”] which were completed jointly by BDC and RBC officers.

  • The Lickey Incline and Tardebigge Flight (12¼ Miles)
    The Lickey Incline and Tardebigge Flight (12¼ miles) The walk starts at Stoke Works, criss-crosses the railway uphill with an easy stroll back down the canal towpath. In dry weather only sensible footwear is needed. The link-paths can become muddy and overgrown making boots and trousers sensible at other times. Bring a telephoto lens with your camera. Roadside parking available near start point. There are car parks at Aston Fields and Tardebigge Church. Most public houses will allow walkers to park but please check. Between 1791 and 1815 men toiled to link the Severn at Worcester with Birmingham by canal. In doing so they created the Tardebigge Flight with 30 locks, the longest in the UK followed by a tunnel of 580 yards. Between 1838 and 1841 navvies linked Gloucester and Birmingham by rail. In doing so they built the Lickey Incline - generally regarded as the steepest main line gradient in Britain - 2½ miles at 1 in 37. In two places the walk follows the long distance Monarch’s Way. The future King Charles II fled north after the Battle of Worcester (1651) to Madeley, Shropshire before coming south through Bromsgrove to Stratford, Charmouth and Shoreham The towpath is not a public right of way but the Canal and Rivers Trust allows walkers access. 1. Stoke Works - In 1812 salt was discovered during the building of the canal. In 1825 and 1828 two works developed which, following various financial and technical problems, came under the control of John Corbett, the Salt King in 1852 and 1858. He built an industrial village, including the village school, now converted to dwellings.

  • Tentative Identification of Mary Darby's Parents
    Tentative identification of Mary Darby’s parents Establishing a range for her date of birth 1. Mary Darby married Richard Nightingale on 10 August 1834 at St Johns Halesowen, Worcestershire (the Parish Church). She was a spinster, described as ‘of this parish’. The marriage (by Banns) was not shown as requiring the consent of parents. At first sight, this would seem to suggest that Mary must have been at least 21 at the time of her marriage, giving a date of birth on or before August 1813. However, consent of parents for minors wishing to marry was not needed if the parents were dead; and ‘consent’ to a marriage by Banns only meant that the parents had not dissented, not that they had actively consented. Therefore, Mary could have been a minor but it’s unlikely she was younger than 16, giving an upper limit on her date of birth of August 1818. 2. In the 1841 census (6 Jun 1841), Mary is living with her husband in Birchyfield Lane, Oldbury, Worcestershire. Her age was given as 25. Ages in the 1841 census were rounded down to the nearest 5 years, so she could have been anywhere between 25 and 29 years old, giving a date of birth of between June 1811 and June 1815. 3. At her death (25 December 1847) her age was recorded as 34, giving a date of birth between December 1812 and December 1813. In summary, the available evidence suggests that she was born between June 1811 and August 1818, with most evidence pointing towards 1811-1813.
