Projects Identified as Important to the Parish, to be Pursued by the Parish Council, Through Various Funding Sources Including Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) 53 2 1 Background to the Plan 1.1 The Localism Act 2011 promoted neighbourhood engagement in the planning process. It introduced a new kind of Plan, called a Neighbourhood Development Plan (or Neighbourhood Plan, for short), that could be prepared by Parish Councils. One of the key aims of the legislation is to enable people to contribute to the long term development of their own community. A Neighbourhood Plan can make a real difference to how development is carried out in the Parish, because once it has been through all the stages of preparation and been “made” (adopted) by Lichfield District Council (LDC), it becomes part of the District’s Development Plan, alongside the LDC Local Plan. Its planning policies will therefore be used in the decision-making process when planning applications within the Parish are considered by the Local Planning Authority. This Neighbourhood Plan supports the delivery of strategic policies contained in the Lichfield District Local Plan in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework 2019 para 13.

  • Longdon Neighbourhood Plan Initial Consultation – 14/ 19/ 22 .10.13
    Longdon Neighbourhood Plan Initial Consultation – 14/ 19/ 22 .10.13 Themed comments Character Happy with village as it is Concerned that Armitage developments are getting ever closer to Longdon Do not spoil the brand image of an aspirational village It’s a nice and quiet place to live New building must be in keeping with rural feel. Like small village feel – no reason to change New development must respect / maintain rural feel What I love about Longdon – quaintness / quiet; away from busy Lichfield and towns; countryside and views - cute Village. Do not build in Longdon Green -if I want to live in a busy area I'll move to Chasetown or Lichfield Need to strike the right balance between rural character of village(s) and the need for local housing Concern about the changing face of the countryside and loss of farming to the area; once a farm is lost it never comes back. Noted that farms have had to change especially after foot and mouth. Concern that there has been a loss of farming infrastructure to housing. Barns to housing. This has an impact on the rural character of the area. Community People all know each other Community spirit will be galvanized if a challenge is perceived Ages in villages on a ‘conveyor belt’ They consider themselves commuters Unaware of OWL for Neighborhood watch Increasing housing causes concern – wrong elements coming into the village Lack of a community feel. A51 separates Longdon and Upper longdon Ageing community Transport and Movement HS2 – some concerns; how will it affect us? Rat runs….

Introduction 3 1.1 Background to the Lichfield District Council Local List 3 1.2 Criteria for the Selection of Locally Important Buildings 4 2.0 Burntwood 5 2.1 Proposed Burntwood Local List 6 2.1.1 Highfield 6 2.1.2 Summerfield and All Saints 13 2.1.3 Chasetown 14 2.1.4 Chase Terrace 16 2.1.5 Boney Hay and Central 17 3.0 Hammerwich 19 4.0 Wall 23 Appendix A – Local List selection criteria 26 Appendix B – List of proposed additions to the Lichfield District Council Local List 29 2 1. Introduction This report has been prepared by the Conservation and Urban Design Team at Lichfield District Council to gain approval for the addition of buildings and structures onto Lichfield’s register of buildings of special local interest. It is intended that this will be the first report of a rolling programme of reports to be presented to the Council until all areas of the district have been reviewed. 1.1 Background to the Lichfield District Council Local List Currently Lichfield District Councils Local List only covers buildings within some of the 22 designated Conservation Areas. These buildings were assessed at the time that the conservation area appraisals were carried out. However, there are numerous buildings and structures across the district which are locally important, and are currently not identified. Whilst the local listing does not offer the same level of protection as statutorily listed buildings, they do become a material consideration within planning decisions, allowing the opportunity for their local distinctiveness to be taken into consideration through the planning process.

  • Historic Environment Character Area Overview Reports This Appendix
    Appendix 2: Historic Environment Character Area Overview Reports This appendix provides an overview of the historic environment for each of the Historic Environment Character Areas (HECAs) which fall within Lichfield District. It should be noted that the information and any recommendations contained within each of the documents 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 Heritage Team Environment & Countryside Development Services Directorate Staffordshire County Council Riverway Stafford ST16 3TJ Tel: 01785 277281/277285/277290 Email: [email protected] Staffordshire County Council February 2009 1 Historic Environment Character Area (HECA) 2a Introduction This document forms an overview of the HECA which specifically addresses the potential impact of medium to large scale development upon the historic environment. The character area covers 5,645ha lies wholly within Lichfield District boundary and to the west of Tamworth. Archaeological and Historic Documentation Archaeological work within the character area has tended to concentrate along the A5 and the M6 (Toll) roads. The information on this character area mostly comes from the HER data, whilst VCH has covered part of the area. Historic Environment Assets Summary The current understanding on the later prehistoric landscape of the character area suggests that it had mostly been heavily wooded until Bronze Age, when some clearance may have begun to take place to support a small scale pastoral economy. The earliest evidence for human activity from the character area dates to the Mesolithic period; however, this comes from flint artefacts and probably represents the presence of mobile hunting groups and transitory occupation.
