It is understood that the proposed development comprises the construction of a new retaining wall and abutments for the new bridge over the Finham Brook. The site is situated beside the Finham Brook where the Stoneleigh Road crosses it over the existing Westley Bridge, approximately 3.5km to the north-east of Kenilworth town centre and may be located by Landranger Grid Map Reference SP318737. Published geology indicates the site to be covered by superficial deposits of Alluvium, with First River Terrace Deposits also marked as present, underlain by the Kenilworth Sandstone Formation. Site work comprised the sinking of four cable percussive boreholes, one of which was extended by rotary coring, and one window sample borehole. Standpipes were installed in four of the boreholes and monitored for groundwater levels on return visits. Selected sampled were subjected to geotechnical laboratory analysis. Allowable bearing pressures have been assessed for shallow spread foundations, with 75kPa available in the Alluvium and 175kPa available in the River Terrace Deposits. The ground level drops by 2.0m between the northern and southern banks of the brook which is evident by the absence of alluvial deposits in BH3 and BH4 and therefore any shallow bridge foundation can be installed below the Made Ground and within the River Terrace Deposits at a minimum depth of 1.4mbgl, where an allowable bearing pressure of 50kPa can be assumed. Foundations greater than 2.0mbgl can be designed to a greater allowable bearing pressure of 165kPa. Deeper foundations would require a piled foundation which would gain support in end bearing from the sandstone with side adhesion from both the River Terrace Deposits and the underlying residual sands of the weathered Kenilworth Sandstone Formation. A Design Sulphate Class for the soils / rock may be taken as DS-1, with site conditions suggesting an ACEC class for the site of AC-1 would be appropriate None of the samples analysed exhibited contaminant concentrations which would be considered to represent any significant risk to human health or controlled waters and there was no significant evidence of contamination within the soils observed. The material represented by the samples tested would be classified as non-hazardous waste, should disposal of material to landfill be required. However, the material is fit for purpose for reuse on the site and this should be considered where possible prior to any offsite disposal.

  • Finham Parish Council – New Parish Council Created – the Story of How a New Parish Council Was Created in a Previously Un-Parished Area of Coventry
    Finham Parish Council – New Parish Council Created – The Story Of How A New Parish Council Was Created In A Previously Un-Parished Area Of Coventry Headlines Finham is a suburb, south from the city of Coventry, in the West Midlands. This case study tells the story of how the Finham Residents Association triggered a Community Governance Review and established a parish council. The case study provides an example of good practice for campaigns aspiring to set up a parish council, outlining key elements of success as well as some of the challenges faced by the Finham campaign and how these were overcome. Currently Finham is due to have its first elections in May 2016 and over the past months the main focus of campaign organisers has been to encourage residents to stand for election. Why A Council Is Wanted The development of a new housing estate raised concern among the residents of Finham, due to the increased volume of traffic, with roads being unable to accommodate the additional amount of vehicles, as well as the additional strain on schools and underdeveloped public transport. Although Finham Residents’ Association opposed the developments, it was felt that residents would have more say in the development plans of the area through the creation of a parish council. Furthermore, the parish council could also undertake projects and schemes, working in partnership with other bodies and scrutinising the principal authority with the scope of improving service delivery and ensuring that the needs of residents are being met, improving their representation at local government level. Contextual issues related to the theme Finham is a suburb, south from the city of Coventry, in the West Midlands.

  • Study of the Effects of Secondary School Admissions Policies on House Prices in One Local Area
    J. R. Statist. Soc. A (2003) 166, Part 1, pp. 135–154 Is comprehensive education really free?: a case- study of the effects of secondary school admissions policies on house prices in one local area Dennis Leech and Erick Campos University of Warwick, Coventry, UK [Received December 2001. Revised June 2002] Summary. The paper reports on a study that tests the anecdotal hypothesis that parents are willing to pay a premium to secure places for their children in popular and oversubscribed com- prehensive schools. Since many local education authorities use admissions policies that are based on catchment areas and places in popular schools are very difficult to obtain from out- side these areas—but very easy from within them—parents have an incentive to move house for the sake of their children’s education.This would be expected to be reflected in house prices. The study uses a cross-sectional sample based on two popular schools in one local education authority area, Coventry. Differences in quality of housing are dealt with by using the technique of hedonic regression and differences in location by sample selection within a block sample design. The sample was chosen from a limited number of locations spanning different catch- ment areas to reduce both observable and unobservable variability in nuisance effects while maximizing the variation in catchment areas. The results suggest that there are strong school catchment area effects. For one of the two popular schools we find a 20% premium and for the other a 16% premium on house prices ceteris paribus. Keywords: Coventry; Hedonic price functions; House prices; Sample design; Schools 1.

  • The History of Kenilworth Castle 12Th Century
    THE HISTORY OF KENILWORTH CASTLE 12TH CENTURY - When and why people first created the site Kenilworth Castle was founded in the early 1120s by Geoffrey de Clinton, Lord Chamberlain and treasurer to Henry I Clinton was a local rival to Roger de Beaumont, the Earl of Warwick and owner of the neighbouring Warwick Castle, and the king made Clinton the sheriff in Warwickshire to act as a counterbalance to Beaumont's power. Henry I’s son had died and so he needed to show that he was powerful even though he did not have an heir The castle's original form is uncertain. It has been suggested that it consisted of a motte, an earthen mound surmounted by wooden buildings; however, the stone great tower may have been part of the original design. Henry II (Henry I’s grandson)succeeded to the throne at the end of a Civil war that lasted from 1135 to 1154 but during the revolt of 1173–74 he faced a significant uprising led by his son, Henry, backed by the French crown. The conflict spread across England and Kenilworth was garrisoned by Henry II's forces; By this point Kenilworth Castle consisted of the great keep, the inner bailey wall, a basic causeway across the smaller lake that preceded the creation of the Great Mere, and the local chase for hunting. De Clinton’s Keep. Windows were added much later, these would have been arrow slits and fishtail arrow slits in the original keep. THE HISTORY OF KENILWORTH CASTLE 13TH CENTURY – King John - Henry's successor, Richard I, paid relatively little attention to Kenilworth, but under King John significant building resumed at the castle.
