The field system was originally created as planned enclosure following an Act of Parliament to enclose (1868).

    Stratford-on-Avon Site Allocations Plan (SAP): Sustainability Appraisal (SA) Appendix VIII: SA of Options for Reserve Housing Sites by Settlement Key: Categories of Significance Symbol Meaning Sustainability Effect ++ Major Positive Proposed development encouraged as would resolve existing sustainability problem + Minor Positive No sustainability constraints and proposed development acceptable 0 Neutral Neutral effect ? Uncertain Uncertain or Unknown Effects - Minor Negative Potential sustainability issues: mitigation and/or negotiation possible -- Major Negative Problematical and improbable because of known sustainability issues; mitigation likely to be difficult and/or expensive Alcester Settlement Baseline Overview relevant to SA objectives: SA Objective Settlement Assessment Heritage The historic market town of Alcester overlies the site of a significant Roman settlement on Icknield Street. The town was granted a Royal Charter to hold a weekly market in 1274 and prospered throughout the next centuries. In the 17th Century it became a centre of the needle industry. With its long narrow Burbage plots and tueries (interlinking passageways), the town centre street pattern of today and many of its buildings are medieval. There are a number of heritage assets which includes Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, a Conservation Area and archaeological features within and adjacent to the urban area. The Conservation area’s character is defined by the medieval street pattern, the presence of a wide diversity of buildings with a range of distinguishing features, and the gaps between the buildings which create an intriguing spatial element. The majority of Alcester’s Listed Buildings are located within the Conservation Area, as are parts of the Alcester Roman Town Scheduled Monument.1 Landscape The Landscape Sensitivity Study identifies extensive areas of land adjacent to the town as being of high sensitivity to development.

  • Public Rights of Way Guide Public Rights of Way
    Public Rights of Way Guide Public Rights of Way Introduction Staffordshire has a network of over 4000 kilometres of public footpaths and bridleways, which offer the single most important means of exploring every corner of the County. Whether you wish to explore Staffordshire by foot, cycle or on horseback, we hope that the information contained in these pages will help you and provide you with some ideas about the opportunities available to you. There are many opportunities for walking and riding in Staffordshire from long distance recreational routes such as the Staffordshire Way and the Way for the Millennium, the Heart of England Way and the Sabrina Way. There are many shorter, Country Trails and Promoted Routes, several of which are based around County Council Country Parks, Picnic Areas and Greenways. All of these are promoted by the County Council and are waymarked. Before starting off, you may wish to check whether there are any disruptions to the path network in your chosen area by checking if there are any Temporary Closures or Proposed Diversions. We are continually working, with Parish Councils, voluntary groups and local organisations, through the County Council's Community Paths Initiative to promote and develop such routes for your enjoyment. Generally speaking, the responsibility for keeping public paths open for public use is shared by the County Council, as highway authority, and landowners. The County Council is responsible for the surface maintenance of the paths and for dealing with unlawful obstructions. Landowners are responsible for keeping the paths free from obstruction. The County Council also ensures that all routes are legally protected on the definitive map.

    07/1 MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE PARISH COUNCIL OF LONGDON HELD IN THE W. I. HALL, LONGDON, ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 9TH, 2007 Present: Cllr. R. C. Hemmingsley (Vice-Chairman, who, in the absence of the Chairman, chaired the meeting); Cllr. N. J. Bird; Cllr. B. J. Butler; Cllr. A. J. Juxon; Cllr. Mrs. M. G. Nichols; and Cllr. H. M. P. Reynolds. Also present were the Clerk; Cllr. N. J. Roberts, of Lichfield District Council; County Councillor F. W. Lewis, M. B. E.; and Mrs. Jane Russell, Village Correspondent of “The Village Mercury”. 1. APOLOGIES Cllr. The Rev. J. R. Andrews; Cllr. N. Stanfield; Cllr. M. A. W. Parsons; and Cllr. S. K. Welch. 2. PRESENTATION BY CLLR. ROBERTS Before opening the meeting, Cllr. Hemmingsley invited Cllr. Roberts to make a presentation on the West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Phase Two Revision. Cllr. Roberts explained that the West Midlands Regional Assembly had just issued a document setting out spatial options for four planning areas – housing, employment, transport and waste. The main emphasis was on housing, for which a series of tables relating to housing distribution had been set out, together with three options – the first reflecting a continuum of previous figures, the second planning for a 25% increase and the third, the Government’s own preferred option, providing for a 50% increase. The adoption of the third of these options would result in an increase in the Lichfield area of 16,000 dwellings, which would be considerably larger than any other adjoining district except East Staffordshire and might even lead to development on the margins of the Green Belt.
