  • Housing Requirements, and to Meet the Identified Housing Needs of Its Residents
    6 SOCIAL MATTERS T DRAF Luton Local Plan 2001 - 2011 47 SOCIAL OBJECTIVES 6.1 Luton is expected to contribute to county-wide and regional housing requirements, and to meet the identified housing needs of its residents. However, Luton has difficulty in realising this expectation as scope for further residential development is severely restricted because the town is already built up to its boundaries. The main opportunities for new residential development arise as a result of the reuse of vacant or underused employment or commercial land, and the intensification of existing residential areas, mostly through conversions to flats, and development of ‘backland’ sites. 6.2 The provision of adequate community facilities, together with green space and leisure uses, is important to the quality of life for the residents of Luton and is a major land use issue. Luton is generally deficient in green space, with particular shortages in some inner areas, such as Bury Park. Development pressures in such a tightly constrained built up area have to be balanced against the need to protect green spaces and other community facilities. T 6.3 Thus the social objectives of the Plan are: Housing G Meeting local housing needs, including the need for affordable housing Leisure and DRAFCommunity Facilities G Making adequate and appropriate provision for sport, leisure, community development and green space to meet local community needs 6.4 The following chapters on housing and leisure and community facilities seek to deliver these objectives, through policies intended to satisfy both Government guidance and local concerns. 48 Luton Local Plan 2001 - 2011 HOUSING Introduction 6.8 There is a limited scope in Luton for new housing due to a lack of available developable land.

  • Row 3169391 Od.Pdf
    Order Decision Site visit made on 2 August 2017 by Grahame Kean B.A. (Hons), PgCert CIPFA, Solicitor HCA an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Decision date: 29 November 2017 Order Ref: ROW/3169391 This Order is made under Section 118 of the Highways Act 1980 (the 1980 Act) and is known as the Derby City Council Megaloughton Lane, Extinguishment Order 2014. The Order is dated 6 March 2014 and proposes to extinguish the public right of way shown on the Order plan and described in the Order Schedule. There were five objections outstanding when Derby City Council submitted the Order to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for confirmation. Summary of Decision: The Order is not confirmed Procedural Matter 1. Network Rail was granted a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order to commence on 11 January 2017 to close the crossing in order to carry out track works. The effect of the temporary order ended on 30th June 2017. However when I visited, the Megaloughton Lane level crossing was still closed and fenced off. 2. Derby City Council, the order making authority (the Council) was requested to supply details of the authority under which it is currently closed. The Council confirmed that the crossing has been closed without any legal authority. It also appears from its statement that, following the making of the Order, Network Rail had closed off access to the line without the Council’s consent. 3. I was thus unable to walk the whole of the existing route but viewed the crossing through metal railings placed across each side.

  • The Shropshire Enlightenment: a Regional Study of Intellectual Activity in the Late Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries
    The Shropshire Enlightenment: a regional study of intellectual activity in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by Roger Neil Bruton A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The focus of this study is centred upon intellectual activity in the period from 1750 to c1840 in Shropshire, an area that for a time was synonymous with change and innovation. It examines the importance of personal development and the influence of intellectual communities and networks in the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge. It adds to understanding of how individuals and communities reflected Enlightenment aspirations or carried the mantle of ‘improvement’ and thereby contributes to the debate on the establishment of regional Enlightenment. The acquisition of philosophical knowledge merged into the cultural ethos of the period and its utilitarian characteristics were to influence the onset of Industrial Revolution but Shropshire was essentially a rural location. The thesis examines how those progressive tendencies manifested themselves in that local setting.

  • Consultation Draft of Luton Rights of Way Improvement Plan
    AGENDA ITEM AREA COMMITTEE: SOUTH LUTON DATE: 2ND OCTOBER 2007 SUBJECT: CONSULTATION DRAFT OF LUTON RIGHTS OF WAY IMPROVEMENT PLAN REPORT BY: HEAD OF ENGINEERING & TRANSPORTATION CONTACT OFFICER: KEITH DOVE 01582 547211 IMPLICATIONS: LEGAL 3 COMMUNITY SAFETY EQUALITIES ENVIRONMENT FINANCIAL 3 CONSULTATIONS STAFFING OTHER WARDS AFFECTED: ALL PURPOSE 1. The Government requires the Council to publish a Rights of Way Improvement Plan (RoWIP) that sets out the current condition and use of Public Rights of Way in and around Luton, and suggests ways in which it could be improved. Government Guidance on the content of a RoWIP indicates that it should cover: • the extent to which rights of way meet the present and likely future needs of the public; • the opportunities rights of way provide for exercise and other forms of open air recreation and for enjoying Luton and its surrounding area; and • how accessible rights of way are to blind or partially sighted people and others with mobility problems. 2. It is necessary as part of this process to conduct a 12-week consultation on the draft RoWIP to assess the priorities of local residents and other interested stakeholders. The results of this consultation will be reviewed and used to inform the development of the final Plan to be published in late 2007. The purpose of this report is therefore to seek the views of this Area Committee on the consultation draft of the Luton RoWIP, a summary of which is appended to this report. RECOMMENDATION(S) 3. That the North Luton Area Committee note the report, and identifies the priorities that should be afforded to each of the actions and any other actions not currently included in the plan REPORT 4.

  • Tern Valley Trail
    The ‘Discovering Wellington’ Project presents: The Tern Valley Trail A cycle trail linking the historic market town of Wellington to Thomas Telford’s lost canal country The Tern Valley Trail Between 1795 and 1796, Thomas Telford drove the Shrewsbury Canal through the lower Tern Valley near Wellington, rendering many changes to the local landscape that can still be viewed today. The year 2007 marks the 250th anniversary of the renowned Scottish civil engineer’s birth, so what better way to witness his impact in east Shropshire than to get out and see some of the changes he made first hand? Along the way you’ll uncover groundbreaking industrial heritage, medieval castle ruins, secret Second World War history and much more besides, so come with us now and discover the riparian wonders of Wellington Midsummer Fair, Market Square the Tern Valley. Wellington, then The Tern The Tern Valley Trail is a 14-mile, circular cycle route on quiet country roads, traffic-free paths and existing sections of the National Cycle Network. The trail begins and ends in the ancient market town of Wellington, the historic capital of east Shropshire. Wellington’s long and illustrious history stretches back to at least Anglo-Saxon times, while the town received its first market charter in 1244 and became a prosperous centre for industry and agriculture in the Victorian era. Today, the market is still at the centre of town life, while its comprehensive range of specialist shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs make Wellington Longdon Aqueduct an excellent place to start and end your adventure.

  • Derby's Locally Listed Buildings
    City of Derby City of Derby Local List Local List CITY OF DERBY Introduction This list identifies buildings and other structures within Derby which are considered to have some local importance, either from an architectural or historic viewpoint. The list has been revised from the previously published list of 1993, following a public consultation period in 2007. Along with the review of the existing list, people were also invited to nominate new buildings for inclusion on the revised list. The new list was approved by Council Cabinet in July 2010 and is organised in alphabetical order by ward. None of the buildings or structures are included in Derby’s Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. Some may, in the future, be considered worthy of national listing. The local list seeks to include buildings which are of merit in their own right, those which are worthy of group value in the street scene and any other feature which is considered to be worthy of conservation because it makes a positive contribution to the local environment. The list contains examples of different architectural styles from many periods, including those of relatively recent origins. It does not include locally important buildings that are located within any of the 15 conservation areas in Derby, as these buildings are afforded greater protection through the planning control process. The value of publishing a local list is that a watching brief can be kept on these buildings or structures and they can be taken into account in the town planning process. Inclusion in the list, however, does not afford any additional statutory protection or grant aid, but it is the Council’s intention that every reasonable effort will be made to conserve those buildings and structures of local importance to benefit the city as a whole.
