The site would be developed primarily for Employment Uses (B1, B2 & B8 Use Classes) and is known as the “A14J10 Business Park - Kettering”. Figure A shows the development site in its strategic context, whilst Figure B shows the local area surrounding the site. A preliminary Masterplan is provided at Appendix A. 1.02 The proposed development has significant implications for the adjoining Highway Network, in particular A14 Junction 10 (A14J10) and the proposed connection to the East Kettering Sustainable Urban Extension (SUE) to the north. Accordingly, this Report provides a full Transport Assessment (TA) which is intended to support the Outline Planning Application for the scheme. 1.03 The full scope of the TA was determined in discussion with the relevant Planning and Highway Authorities, who are:- The Highways Agency (HA) Northamptonshire County Council (NCC) Kettering Borough Council (KBC) 1.04 The discussions have also included NCC’s consultants, MGWSP and the HA’s consultants, AECOM. Scope 1.05 The main purpose of the TA is to demonstrate to the Planning and Highway Authorities that the scheme could be satisfactorily accommodated on the adjacent transport network. C:\LAWRENCE WALKER LIMITED\LWL Projects\Roxhill\Cranford Road (7)\Reports\TA\REPORT - TA - Sep 2013.docx - 1 - A14 Junction 10 Business Park - Kettering September 2013 Transport Assessment 1.06 It seeks to demonstrate that the scheme would not prejudice other committed developments in the area and would instead offer substantial opportunities to improve the operation of the highway network at and in the vicinity of A14J10. 1.07 The process of determining and agreeing the scope of the TA is summarised below:- A “Transport Assessment - Scoping Report” was prepared by LWL in August 2011 and was submitted to the Planning and Highway Authorities; Responses to the Scoping Report were received from these Authorities in the form of a “Formal Scoping Opinion”, which was prepared by KBC. A copy of this document is provided in Appendix B. A meeting of LWL, NCC, the HA, AECOM and MGWSP was held on Monday 21 January 2012 to agree the methodology and base data to be adopted in the TA. 1.08 The TA has been prepared in accordance with the above Scoping exercise and current DfT Guidelines. It considers the impact of the full development at a Design Year of 2021 to accord with the Assessment Year for Phase 1 of the East Kettering SUE, which lies immediately to the north of A14J10. 1.09 The TA identifies the impact of the proposed development on the adjacent transport networks and seeks to demonstrate that the proposed highway and sustainable modes access strategies are appropriate and deliverable. It also demonstrates that the proposed Transport Strategy could accommodate construction of the either the “Cranford Road Link” by the adjacent East Kettering SUE Developer or the consented Cranford Road access. C:\LAWRENCE WALKER LIMITED\LWL Projects\Roxhill\Cranford Road (7)\Reports\TA\REPORT - TA - Sep 2013.docx - 2 - A14 Junction 10 Business Park - Kettering September 2013 Transport Assessment 1.10 This TA forms one of a series of documents that address the transport aspects of the scheme. Others in the series will deal with matters such as Departures from Standards, VISSIM Micro-Simulation (A14J10) Road Safety Audits and the site Travel Plan. Transport Strategy 1.11 The Transport Strategy includes the physical highway access and associated road links that are required to accommodate the proposed development. These are illustrated on Figure 1A. Figure 1B shows how the Roxhill scheme could then accommodate an upgraded East Kettering access from Barton Lane in due course. 1.12 Figures 1B & 2A shows how Figure 1A might be expanded to obviate the need for a Junction 10A (part of the East Kettering SUE access strategy) whilst Figure 3 shows how the Roxhill Transport Strategy could fit in with the construction of a Junction 10A in the future. The additional physical works required to deliver these enhancements would not be implemented by Roxhill. The purpose of Figures 1B, 2A, 2B & 3 is therefore simply to demonstrate upgrade paths are available, utilising either Junction 10A or an expanded Junction 10. Report Structure 1.13 This Report provides the full Transport Assessment (TA) in support of the proposed Outline Planning Application (OPA) for the site. The TA has been undertaken with regard to the advice contained within the DfT’s “Guidance on Transport Assessments” dated March 2007 and the scoping discussions summarised above. It is structured as follows:- C:\LAWRENCE WALKER LIMITED\LWL Projects\Roxhill\Cranford Road (7)\Reports\TA\REPORT - TA - Sep 2013.docx - 3 - A14 Junction 10 Business Park - Kettering September 2013 Transport Assessment i) The relevant planning and transportation policies are reviewed; ii) The proposed development and car parking provision are described and assessed; iii) A review of the existing transport network in the vicinity of the site is presented, in terms of:- The local highway network; Existing traffic conditions; Accident records; Local public transport services and infrastructure; The pedestrian and cyclist network. iv) The Assessment Year and traffic flow scenarios considered in the TA are identified; v) The effect of the development on the adjoining highway network is assessed; vi) The proposed strategy for providing public transport to serve the site is described; vii) The proposed strategy to maximise the site’s accessibility by pedestrians, cyclists and the mobility-impaired is described; viii) Conclusions to the above studies are drawn and the transport network enhancements required

  • Pytchley Neighbourhood Plan May2018.Pages
    Pytchley Parish Council Pytchley Village Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018 – 2031 Pre-Submission Version May 2018 Pytchley Village Neighbourhood Development Plan – pre-submission Foreword The attached Neighbourhood Plan is an important document that affects all members of the community of Pytchley. It provides the village with a document that outlines the requirements for future development within the village during the next 30 years with regard to planning and land use. The development of a Neighbourhood Plan by local communities became possible with the introduction of The Localism Act 2011, which gives new rights and powers to communities and individuals. It specifically allows local communities to develop and adopt Neighbourhood Plans, which will become a statutory part of the development plan. In 2016, the Pytchley Parish Council committed to setting up a working group - the Pytchley Neighbourhood Plan Working Group - to develop the plan in accordance with the legal requirements and with the consultation of the local community. Alan Lodge was appointed the working group leader and four members volunteered to assist him, three members from the Parish Council and one member co-opted from the community. The working group remit was to produce a written plan ensuring that all the legislative procedures are adhered to and that the wishes of the community are taken into consideration. The Parish Council would be fully informed and would approve all stages of the plans development. So, what is a Neighbourhood Plan? As stated before, it is a document that defines any issues dealing with ‘Land Development’. In other words, it will only address issues that would normally be passed to the Local Council Planning Department.

  • Orlingbury Character Appraisal
    ORLINGBURY CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER APPRAISAL 1. ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT 1.1 Orlingbury Village is located 4 miles west-north-west of Wellingborough, 4 miles from Kettering and 10 miles from Northampton. The roughly rectangular parish lies between two east-flowing tributaries of the River Ise; the higher land in the west between 107m and 137m AOD, and the central ridge which runs east-west, are covered by Boulder Clay, but the down-cutting of the two streams to the north and south has exposed bands of Great Oolite Limestone, clays, silts, and limestone of the Estuarine Series, Northampton Sand and Upper Lias Clay.¹ The village of Orlingbury itself, in the north- east corner of the parish, lies at 101m AOD, whilst in the south east the ground falls rapidly and is only 68m AOD at the parish boundary on the Orlingbury – Little Harrowden road. 1.2 The etymology of the place name is consistent with this topography as it is thought to derive from “Ordla’s Hill” with connective “ing”. However, the multiplicity of variant forms makes the second element uncertain, evolving from Ordinbaro (1086) through Orlingberg(a) (1131), Horlingbere (1203), Orlibergh (1388) to Orlibeare in 1631.² 1.3 Fairly remote from any significant routes or towns, Orlingbury appears to have been relatively unaffected by the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century. Bridges, in 1753, records it as having about 50 families and census returns in the 19th century showed a stable population of between 250 and 350 persons. Whellan notes employment in 1874 as comprising: grocer/baker wheelwright/carpenter 2 shoemakers brick maker school mistress blacksmith Rector and 3 farmers/graziers farm bailiff With the possible exception of the shoemakers, therefore, employment was clearly subsistence-based.

  • St Edmund Profile 3 A4
    Profile The Parish Church of St Edmund Warkton April 2009 The Joint Benefice of Barton Seagrave with Warkton is seeking a conservative evangelical minister to lead the congregations in seeking through Scripture to follow more closely the Lord Jesus Christ; following the retirement of the Rector, J. Martin Perris, in September 2009. In January 2009 the PCC of St Edmund revisited the Priests (Ordination of Women) Measure 1994. They voted against 'Resolution A', "That this Parochial Church Council would not accept a woman as the minister who presides at or celebrates the Holy Communion or pronounces the Absolution." They voted for 'Resolution B', That this Parochial Church Council would not accept a woman as the incumbent or priest-in-charge of the benefice or as a team vicar for the benefice." Therefore the position as the incumbent of the Joint Benefice of Barton Seagrave with Warkton is only open to male applicants. The two parishes comprise the large and well established district of Barton Seagrave and the nearby rural village of Warkton, both on the outskirts and to the east of the market town of Kettering. The worship ranges from the less formal all-age services to those from the Prayer Book; with music to suit all aspects of worship. The Joint Benefice, with the overseeing eye of the Rector, provides activities for the spiritual growth of its congregations. It is supported by three lay ministers, two pastoral assistants, full-time youth minister, part- time children's worker and a number of service leaders. Together with structured services, regular outreach initiatives range from Christianity Explored, guest services, coffee mornings, activities for those older in years, work in local schools and community activities.
