The land comprises a single pasture field with a small enclosed area of land at its north-eastern corner. The assessment reviews any archaeological evidence on and near the site in the context of relevant national and local heritage planning policies. There are no designated archaeological assets within the site or study area, and there are no ‘Archaeological Zones’ identified by the Kennet Local Plan. A single un-designated archaeological asset, comprising a pair of Medieval strip lynchets, falls partly within the site. The assessment identifies that there is a high potential for further evidence Medieval and Post-Medieval agricultural practices within the site, e.g. lynchets and finds deposited through manuring, with such finds being of local interest only. The potential for evidence of other periods is considered to be negligible to low. It is concluded that the Local Planning Authority may require further assessment of this limited archaeological interest on the site through a programme of archaeological work secured by a standard planning condition. © CgMs Consulting 3 JPLN/15500 Archaeological Desk Based Assessment Westbury Road, Great Cheverell, Wiltshire 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF STUDY 1.1 This archaeological desk-based assessment has been researched and prepared by Jonathan Nowell and edited by Paul Chadwick of CgMs Consulting, on behalf of Gladman Developments Limited. 1.2 This assessment considers the potential development of land some 2.7 hectares in extent off Westbury Road, Great Cheverell, Wiltshire (also referred to as the study site). The site is bounded to the south-west by Westbury Road, to the north-west by a footpath/the rear of properties fronting on to the High Street, to the north-east by a field and to the south-east by fields and No 35 Westbury Road. The site comprises a single pasture field with a small enclosed area of land at its north-eastern corner, and is centred on National Grid Reference ST 984 542 (Figure 1). 1.3 In accordance with government planning policy (NPPF), this desk-based assessment has been undertaken to establish the presence/absence of designated and undesignated assets, to consider the archaeological potential of the site and to assess potential impacts from the proposed development. 1.4 The assessment comprises an examination of the relevant evidence in the Wiltshire Historic Environment Record (WHER) and National Monument Record (NMR). 1.5 Additionally, in accordance with the ‘Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Desk- Based Assessments’ (Institute for Archaeologists 1999, revised 2011), the assessment includes the results of a site inspection, an examination of published and unpublished material and charts historic land-use through a map regression exercise. A site visit was undertaken in May 2013. 1.6 Data gathering to inform this desk-based assessment has established that no Scheduled Monuments, Registered Parks & Gardens or Registered Battlefields or other designated archaeological assets lie on or in close proximity to the site. 1.7 The study therefore provides an assessment of the archaeological assets and potential assets on the site and enables relevant parties to assess the impacts on assets, and to consider the need for design, engineering or other archaeological mitigation measures. A separate report considers built heritage issues (CgMs 2013) © CgMs Consulting 4 JPLN/15500 Archaeological Desk Based Assessment Westbury Road, Great Cheverell, Wiltshire 2.0 PLANNING BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN FRAMEWORK 2.1 In March 2012, the government published the NPPF, which replaces national policy relating to heritage and archaeology (Planning Policy Statement 5: Planning for the Historic Environment). 2.2 Section 12 of the NPPF, entitled Conserving and Enhancing the Historic Environment provides guidance for planning authorities, property owners, developers and others on the conservation and investigation of heritage assets. Overall, the objectives of Section 12 of the NPPF can be summarised as seeking the: Delivery of sustainable development Understanding the wider social, cultural, economic and environmental benefits brought by the conservation of the historic environment Conservation of England's heritage assets in a manner appropriate to their significance, and Recognition of the contribution that heritage assets make to our understanding of the past. 2.2.1 Section 12 of the NPPF recognises that intelligently managed change may sometimes be necessary if heritage assets are to be maintained for the long term. Paragraph 128 states that planning decisions should be based on the significance of the heritage asset, and that level of detail supplied by an applicant should be proportionate to the importance of the asset and should be no more than sufficient to review the potential impact of the proposal upon the significance of that asset. 2.2.2 Heritage Assets are defined in Annex 2 of the NPPF as: a building, monument, site, place, area or landscape positively identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions. They include designated heritage assets (as defined in the NPPF) and assets identified by the local planning authority during the process of decision-making or through the plan-making process. 2.2.3 Annex 2 also defines Archaeological Interest as a heritage asset which holds or potentially could hold, evidence of past human activity worthy of expert investigation at some point. Heritage assets with archaeological interest are the primary source of evidence about the substance and evolution of places, and of the people and cultures that made them. © CgMs Consulting 5 JPLN/15500 Archaeological Desk Based Assessment Westbury Road, Great Cheverell, Wiltshire 2.2.4 A Designated Heritage Asset comprises a: World Heritage Site, Scheduled Monument, Listed Building, Protected Wreck Site, Registered Park and Garden, Registered Battlefield or Conservation Area. 2.2.5 Significance is defined as: The value of a heritage asset to this and future generations because of its heritage interest. This interest may be archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic. Significance derives not only from a heritage asset’s physical presence, but also from its setting. 2.2.6 In short, government policy provides a framework which: Protects nationally important designated Heritage Assets (which include World Heritage Sites, Scheduled Ancient Monuments, Listed Buildings, Protected Wreck Sites, Registered Parks and Gardens, Registered Battlefields or Conservation Areas) Protects the settings of such designations In appropriate circumstances seeks adequate information (from desk based assessment and field evaluation where necessary) to enable informed decisions

  • Swindon Bus Station
    What is this document? We (primarily Lee) have looked at what the bus network might look like under option 24/7 in a pilot area, at the request of Philip Whitehead (meetings March and April 2016) The area selected was from (in the north) the Bath – Corsham – Chippenham – Calne – Royal Wootton Bassett corridor through to the Bath – Bradford-on-Avon – Trowbridge – Westbury – Warminster corridor to the West, covering all of West Wilts, services within that area out to Devizes. There is always considerable overlap across boundaries with public transport services, so you'll find significant services off the edge listed here, many of which are adjustments of ongoing supported services to continue to provide a logical, useful service. The suggestions here reduce the number of vehicle diagrams in the area from 59 to 52 – a saving of around 14%. The number of drivers required would be reduced somewhat less due to extension of some ENCTS time only services to cover journeys to and from work and in the evening and on Sundays and perhaps where appropriate a night bus. In general, very very few places / streets have lost their services, whilst areas such as the Pewsham Estate in Chippenham and Pickwick Road in Corsham see regular buses return, having been withdrawn under the current system. A number of new journey opportunities are provided too (some significant, some making use of much better bus / train connectivity) but there are cases where a change of vehicle will now be needed in place of a through service. Currently commercial services which thrive as “turn up and go” operations remain hardly changed – we are not proposing messing with what works – keeping the good.

  • Great Cheverell Conservation Area Statement Is Part of the Process
    86 High Street GREAT CHEVERELL CONSERVATION AREA STATEMENT October 2003 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Statement is to identify and record those special qualities of Great Cheverell that make up its architectural and historic character. This is important in providing a sound basis for the Local Plan policies and development decisions, as well as for the formulation of proposals for the preservation and enhancement of the character or appearance of the area. The Conservation Area was designated in 1989. This Statement includes a review of the Great Cheverell Conservation Area and is intended for all those with an interest in the village, or undertaking work on the buildings, landscape, roads or public spaces. It is also essential reading for anyone contemplating development within the area. By drawing attention to the distinctive features of Great Cheverell it is intended that its character will be protected and enhanced for the benefit of this and future generations. Rear of Manor House and St Peters parish church LOCATION Great Cheverell is 4.5 miles south of Devizes close to the centre of Wiltshire. It is situated on a secondary road joining the A360 (Devizes - Salisbury road) to the B3098 (Westbury - West Lavington route) east of Erlestoke. BRIEF DESCRIPTION The village lies on a northeast facing hillside with the parish church high on the northern edge. The junction of High Street with Church Road forms the centre of the village. Here a cluster of brick and slate historic buildings includes the village inn, a mansion, orchard and a barn. Large mature trees on a sloping green are significant in the approach to the church, to the grounds of the former rectory and to the manor house beyond.

  • Minutes of Little Cheverell Parish Council Meeting Held Remotely Using
    Minutes of Little Cheverell Parish Council Meeting held remotely using “Zoom Meetings” on Wednesday 13 May 2020. Present: Wes Parfitt, Chair; Sue Ivey, Vice Chair; Benjamin Thompson; Bill Mowatt - minute taker. No members of the public were present. 1. Approval of the minutes of the Council meeting held on 11 March 2020. Minutes approved and signed by the Chair. 2. Apologies Dennis Heather. 3. Public Forum. No issues had been raised with councillors prior to the meeting. 4. Responsible Finance Person Dennis Heather was unable to attend. Chair had been informed that Dennis was unable to continue in the post of Responsible Finance Person for personal reasons but is willing to stay on the Council. It was decided to seek a person to continue the Responsible Finance Person role either in a professional or voluntary role. The possibility of a requirement for a full time Parish Clerk was discounted. 5. Speed Indicator Update The application form was sent to the CATG in March after the last meeting. However presumably, due to the Covid19 lockdown no further progress has been possible on this topic. 6. Damaged Road Sign The damaged road sign has not been re-established and little hope was held for further developments until the Covid crisis has abated due to additional pressures on Wiltshire Council departments. 7. Planning Application 20/02559/OUT Due to the significant majority support (8 for versus 2 against) sent to the Planning Department by the village residents and no objections from the Parish Council members, the Chair had written a letter of support for the application.

    Wiltshire Local Development Framework Working towards a Core Strategy for Wiltshire Topic paper 3: Settlement strategy Appendices Wiltshire Core Strategy Consultation January 2012 Wiltshire Council Information about Wiltshire Council services can be made available on request in other languages including BSL and formats such as large print and audio. Please contact the council on 0300 456 0100, by textphone on 01225 712500 or by email on [email protected]. Appendix A – Role and Function Study of Local Service Centres Planning Policy Statement 12 (PPS12, 2008) recognises that a settlement strategy is key to ensuring sustainable patterns of development are delivered in appropriate locations at an appropriate scale. The Settlement Strategy Topic Paper provides the detailed background explaining how the settlement strategy for Wiltshire has been identified. Categorising the role and function of settlements is an important first step that will help to understand appropriate levels of growth that should be planned for within settlements. The 2011 Settlement Strategy seeks to provide a framework within which the ambitions of Wiltshire‟s rural communities can be realised. As part of this framework a number of settlements, which are considered to have a pronounced role in the rural area and in most cases act as local services centres serving the wider rural hinterland are identified. There were 5 settlements that have been identified as potentially having a service centre role. These settlements are; Cricklade, Lyneham, Market Lavington, Pewsey & Purton. In very general terms a Local Service Centre will have some or all of the following characteristics. Large population (over 2,000) Significant employment base; A very good range of services; A secondary school; Excellent transport connections; Potential to support development in the rural area; The largest settlement within the community.
