  • Settlement Hierarchy Background Paper
    May 2012 NORTH WEST LEICESTERSHIRE LOCAL PLAN: CORE STRATEGY SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY BACKGROUND PAPER 1 CONTENTS Page 1. Introduction 3 2. What does the Regional Plan say? 4 3. What is the next level outside a sub‐regional centre? 6 4. Which settlements could be rural centres? 7 5. Remaining Settlements 9 Appendix 1: What constitutes additional employment? 11 Appendix 2: Assessment of potential rural centres 13 Appendix 3: Assessment of villages 16 2 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 A key issue addressed as part of the Core Strategy is that of an appropriate settlement hierarchy to guide decisions on future development patterns. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) reflects the approach taken in various former Government Policy Statements (e.g. PPG13, PPS3) about the need to ensure that new development is located wherever possible where alternatives to the private car exist. In particular, paragraph 17 establishes 12 ‘Coe Planning Principles’ which includes that planning should “actively manage patterns of growth to make the fullest possible use of public transport, walking and cycling, and focus significant development in locations which are or can be made sustainable”. 1.2 In addition, the adopted East Midlands Regional Plan (EMRP) provides some guidance as to the most appropriate locations for new development. This paper outlines the reasons behind the settlement hierarchy included in the Core Strategy, taking account of national and regional policies and also local circumstances. 1.3 The issue of settlement hierarchy was first considered in detail as part of the 2007 consultation. At that time the EMRP was going through the process of preparation and agreement.

  • Employment Scheme (Construction Phase)
    MERCIA PARK LAND AT HILL TOP FARM, STRETTON EN LE FIELD IN THE DISTRICT OF NORTH WEST LEICESTERSHIRE Planning Permission Ref: 18/01443/FULM Section 106 Agreement (9 October 2019 as varied 9 March 2020) Schedule Two Employment Scheme (construction phase) Employment Scheme (Construction Phase) This Employment Scheme was substantially drafted prior to and during the current outbreak of Coronavirus (Covid-19) and before government plans have been fully explained regarding how we will come out of lockdown. Whilst every effort will be made to keep these plans on track, it may be inevitable that current circumstances will impact on the delivery of the Employment Scheme. The site will be operated in accordance with the latest Government and Public Health (PHE) guidelines and Construction Leadership Council (CLC) Site Operating Procedures which are aimed at protecting the workforce, their colleagues, families and the UK population. The health and safety of site workforce and visitors is of the upmost importance and will remain our number one priority. Progress in a number of areas (particularly where activity requires contact with individuals, schools, training providers/colleges, universities, community organisations and other intermediaries, e.g. councils and DWP) may be hampered and IM Properties will consider the implications and how any potential impacts can be mitigated – and keep the situation under review. MERCIA PARK North West Leicestershire Employment Scheme (Construction Phase) – REVISED FINAL 16 June 2020 1 Introduction 1.1 Mercia Park will deliver a high-quality employment park and site for international calibre businesses. We will deliver a sustainable development that is a great place to work and which will provide long-lasting socio-economic benefits for North West Leicestershire and the surrounding areas.

  • Breedon on the Hill Stuart Galloway Version 2
    U3A WTT Breedon on the Hill Stuart Galloway Version 2 Route Summary The walk starts in the car park of Breedon Priory Garden Centre. Postcode is DE73 8AZ, which oddly takes you to a road opposite the entrance. Plenty of parking and Beth’s Kitchen on the same site has nice food at reasonable prices. (Toilets next to the café). Route Overview Category: Walking Length: 7.380 km / 4.61 mi Parking: Breedon Priory Garden Centre Date Published: 26th October 2016 Difficulty: Medium Rating: Unrated Surface: Average Refreshments: Beth's Kitchen Last Modified: 26th October 2016 Description A circular walk around Breedon that takes in the history of the area. Waypoints Breedon (52.80286; -1.40512) The name Breedon on the Hill is derived from the Celtic word bre for hill and the English word dun for hill. Hence in its current form the name combines three forms of the word hill. Briudun, an early spelling, has been traced from AD 731. Medieval Hagiography Manuscripts record four saints buried in Breedon-on-the-Hill. They are Friduricus, donor of the Mercian Royal Monastery built in Breedon during the seventh century, King Eardwulf of Northumbria, and relatively unknown Anglo-Saxon Saint Beonna of Breedon and Cotta of Breedon. In 1874, a branch of the Midland Railway was built through the eastern part of the parish and Tonge and Breedon railway station was built at Tonge. In 1980 British Railways closed the line and thereafter the track was dismantled. 1 / 11 The track bed through the parish is now part of National Cycle Route 6 and is called the Cloud Trail running from Worthington to Derby City Centre.

  • Country Properties £330,000 Unit One Nethercote Farm
    Nethercote Farm, Unit 1 Snarestone Road, Newton Burgoland, Coalville LE67 2SN Country Properties £330,000 Unit One Nethercote Farm GENERAL Sensational opportunity to create a truly unique 2400 sq ft property in idyllic country setting with stable block and 3.5 acre paddock. You decide whether you want a contemporary or traditional interior in this pretty traditional barn. The site is set in paddock land with the National Forest forming a spectacular backdrop. The plot forms part of the Nethercote Farm development where planning permission has recently been granted for three outstanding country dwellings, all of which will have a paddock of approximately 3.5 acres. Whilst planning permission has been secured for the conversion of Nethercote Farm into 3 dwellings, the sellers believe it would be possible to convert into a large, single executive dwelling, for those aspiring to live the life of luxury in a large 4650 sq. Ft contemporary barn conversion with attached 2,400 sq. Ft annexe set in 10.5 acres of paddock land. Alternatively units 2 & 3 can potentially be converted to 1 unit. David Granger Architectural Design Ltd can advise on this. LOCATION Nethercote Farm is located immediately to the North of Newton Burgoland within walking distance of the village . Newton Burgoland is a highly desirable village set in some of the prettiest Leicestershire countryside located midway between the market towns of Ashby de la Zouch and Market Bosworth. Amenities in the village include a primary school, which was designated as "outstanding" in its last Ofsted report and the renowned Belper Arms. There are some lovely walks in the area and the exclusive health resort of Champney Springs is close by.

  • Coalville Times - May 1913
    Coalville Times - May 1913 Friday May 2nd 1913 (Issue 1106) Local News Death of an old Whitwick Resident Mr James Harrison Hemsley By the death of Mr James Harrison Hemsley, which occurred at his home on Church Lane on Tuesday morning, Whitwick has lost one of its oldest and best known inhabitants, and one who was held in great esteem. The deceased, who was 71 years of age had recently taken up his abode in his new house in Church Lane, having just sold the property he had occupied for many years to Coalville Urban Council for an improvement at Pare’s Hill, and he was only ill for a little over a week, being in fact able to continue at his work up to a fortnight last Wednesday. He had been a carpenter at the Whitwick Colliery for many years. He was conscious right up the last and passed peacefully away. Deceased had been thrice married and leaves a widow, one son (Mr W Hemsley of North Street, Hugglescote) and five daughters for whom much sympathy will be felt. Mr Hemsley, though possessing certain characteristics which manifested themselves when any of his tender points were assailed, was a man of most genial temperament and popular with all acquaintances. He was a strong Liberal and was one of the founders of the Whitwick Liberal Club, being for many years chairman of the directors and we can recall with what pride he used to hold the position and conduct the annual meetings of the company. He also was frequently a delegate from Whitwick to the Liberal Association meetings in Loughborough.

Fearn A Light in the Darkness – the Taper Burns of Donington le Heath Manor House By Alison Fearn, PhD candidate, University of Leicester Summary In 2016 the author undertook an in-depth survey and analysis of the medieval manor house of Donington le Heath in Leicestershire. During the investigation, a large number of markings and graffiti were recorded across the structure. Further analysis of the markings, their form, and their distribution led to the conclusion that most were ritual in nature and were created to add a significant layer of spiritual protection to vulnerable areas of the structure. Introduction The vast majority of the markings recorded at Donington le Heath are considered to be “ritual protection marks”; symbols that had an apotropaic function, which, in their simplest form were designed to ward off evil influences and misfortune.
