Crooks, CC Officer to Contact Amelia Lees (Tel. No. 0116 305 7326) Email: [email protected] 156 PART B – MAIN REPORT Planning History 1. Cadeby Quarry is an established sand and gravel quarry situated between the villages of Cadeby and Newbold Verdon. Sand and gravel extraction has been ongoing at the site since 1964 under a number of planning permissions. In 1973 permission was granted for sand and gravel extraction from an area known as Becks Farm, north of Bosworth Road (permission no. 1973/4727/04). This area was worked in the 1970s and has been restored to lower level agricultural land. In 1988 a further permission was granted for sand and gravel extraction to the north of the Becks Farm area. 2. In August 2005, a substantial mineral permission was granted (planning application reference 2005/0893/04). This enabled sand and gravel extraction from three additional areas: the Northern Working Area (near Newbold Verdon), the Western Working Area (adjacent to the A447 east of Cadeby) and the site of the former Brascote House (a derelict farm building).

  • Agricultural Land Classification Hinckley and Bosworth Local Plan Land at Newbold Verdon
    AGRICULTURAL LAND CLASSIFICATION HINCKLEY AND BOSWORTH LOCAL PLAN LAND AT NEWBOLD VERDON 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 The proposed site covers an area of approximately 25 ha to the east of the viUage of Newbold Verdon in Leicestershire centred on grid reference SK 455035. 1.2 ADAS Statutory Resource Planning Team undertook a detailed Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) survey of the she during August and September 1995. Information was collected from auger borings, spaced at 100 m intervals, to a depth of 120 cm wherever possible. SubsoU conditions were assessed from four inspection phs. 1.3 At the time of the survey much of the land within the proposed site had been cuhivated foUowing cereals and rape. SmaU areas in the west and east of the she were permanent grassland used for cattle and horse grazing. 1.4 On the pubHshed provisional 1:63 360 scale ALC map, sheet 121 (MAFF, 1971) the northem half of the site is shown as grade 2 and the southem half as grade 3. However, this map is of a reconnaissance nature and the cunent survey was undertaken to provide site specific ALC information. 2 0 PHYSICAL FACTORS AFFECTING LAND QUALITY 2.1 CHmatic criteria are considered when classifying land as these may have an overriding limitation in terms of the agricultural use of the land. The main parameters used in the assessment of the overall climatic limitation are average aimual rainfall, as a measure of overall wetness, and accumulated temperature (day °C, Jan-June), as a measure of the relative warmth of an area.

  • An Early to Mid First Century AD Settlement at Cadeby, Leicestershire Pp.73-96
    04_Speed_073-096 22/9/11 11:22 Page 73 AN EARLY TO MID FIRST-CENTURY AD SETTLEMENT AT CADEBY, LEICESTERSHIRE Gavin Speed with a contribution from: Nicholas Cooper The excavation of an early to mid-first century AD settlement at Cadeby Quarry, Cadeby revealed evidence for two sub-rectangular timber structures, along with structured deposition and pottery production. The results have added new information on Iron Age rural settlement patterns, including the use of rectangular structures in the transitional period between the Late Iron Age and early Roman periods. The structures discovered at Cadeby are a rare discovery in this region of Britain, and they may have served a range of functions including living areas and grain storage. The settlement appears to have lasted up until AD 60/70. Other activity in the area includes the structured deposition of querns and pottery vessels and mid-1st century pottery production. INTRODUCTION University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an archaeological excavation at Cadeby Quarry, Leicestershire (centred on SK 42913 02170) in October 2009, over an area of c. 1ha of land in advance of gravel extraction on behalf of Tarmac Ltd (Figs 1–2). The excavation revealed evidence for an early to mid-first century AD enclosed settlement. The site, which was identified in a geophysical survey (Donaldson 2005), comprised a large rectangular enclosure with internal structures and associated features. Immediately to the south of this a linear ditched boundary was located, along with dispersed settlement activity further to the south. This article presents the summary of the results; a full report (Speed 2010a) is available on the Online Access to the Index of Archaeological Investigations (OASIS), held by the Archaeological Data Service at the University of York under ID: universi1-85072, available at http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/library/greylit/ query.cfm, or at the Leicestershire and Rutland Historic Environment Record.
