Other topic papers available in this series: Demography, health, social inclusion and deprivation Housing Economy Retail Leisure, Tourism and Culture Resources (including minerals, waste, recycling, energy consumption) Natural environment (including climate change, biodiversity, green infrastructure, countryside, natural environment and flooding) Transport and communications Sustainable construction / design quality including heritage Summing up / spatial portrait For further information on this topic paper please contact: Planning Policy Team Development and Environment North Somerset Council Somerset House Oxford Street Weston-super-Mare BS23 1TG Tel: 01275 888545 Fax: 01275 888569 [email protected] 2 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The functional relationship particularly between where people choose to live and work is no longer as closely related as in the past. The relationship can be quite complex. It is determined by numerous factors which need to be taken into account in planning for growth. 1.2 The purpose of this Topic Paper is to set out the evidence in terms of the settlements in North Somerset in order to identify their current function and functional relationships with other settlements. The evidence will form the basis on which a hierarchy of settlements will be established. In particular the identification of Development Policy B and C settlements set out in the draft RSS. The Paper will also consider how policies have influenced the form and function of settlements and inform any discussion of whether the current list of inset and washed over Green Belt settlements is still appropriate and whether settlement boundaries are still the appropriate planning tool for many green belt and rural settlements.

For more information on the Long Ashton I am proud to be part of this community and have played a small part Coronavirus Network go to: in the establishment of the Long Ashton community network.

    Long Ashton Neighbourhood Development Plan Appendices 2 August 2014 Long Ashton Neighbourhood Development Plan 2013 - 2026 Appendices August 2014 Appendix A History of Long Ashton BY RUTH POOLE Published in Bath and Avon Family History Society Journal 107 March 2002 The North Somerset parish of Long Ashton, bounded by the ancient parishes of Bedminster (now in the city of Bristol), Dundry, Barrow Gurney, Flax Bourton, Wraxall and Abbots Leigh and part of the river Avon, comprises the villages of Long Ashton and Leigh Woods, and the Ashton Court Estate and its mansion. Until the parish boundary changes in the second half of the 20th century, Farleigh Hospital, formerly the Bedminster Union Workhouse was in the western edge of the parish, and the former hamlet of Bower Ashton was absorbed into the city of Bristol. Prehistoric artefacts have been found in the parish and there were Iron Age hill forts at Burwalls, near Clifton Suspension Bridge and at Stokeleigh in Leigh Woods. A horde of Roman coins was discovered in Ashton Park in 1815 and more have been found in the village. A large Roman settlement has been excavated at Gatcombe at the western edge of the parish. Wansdyke, a massive earthwork, possibly constructed c .577AD may have passed through the parish. Rev. John COLLINSDON, vicar of Long Ashton (1787-93) and Somerset historian, quoted a deed dated 1310 that referred to Venella de Wondesditch in Long Ashton and he described the route of Wansdyke through the parish. The lower part of Yanley Lane was marked as Wansdyke on the 1885 Ordnance Survey map.

  • Pigeons of Bristol (Richard) This Bristol Family Seems to Have Been One of the Better Educated Families of Pigeons (As They Consistently Spelt Their Name)
    PIGEONs of Bristol (Richard) This Bristol family seems to have been one of the better educated families of Pigeons (as they consistently spelt their name). Walter Pigeon was a successful solicitor in Bristol. His eldest son Richard also became a solicitor, while his youngest son Henry became a surgeon. Richard's son Henry Walter also became a surgeon and Henry's son John Henry was a medical practitioner. The family was also closely related to that of W G Grace, the famous cricketer. Richard Walter (1832-1887) was widowed in 1863, and a year later he married the actress Henrietta HODSON. After giving birth to a son George Walter Noel, Henrietta went back to the stage in London, openly living with the MP and journalist Henry Du Pré LABOUCHÈRE. After Richard attempted to divorce Henrietta in 1869, Labouchère reputedly paid Richard £10,000 to “shut up and go away”. He and Henrietta were eventually married after Richard’s death in 1887. The living descendants of this family are now to be found mainly in the south-east of England and Stockport, Cheshire. One descendant (another surgeon) emigrated to New Zealand.

  • NORTH SOMERSET LOCAL PLAN 2038 Choices for the Future: a Northern Corridor Proposal from the Parish Councils of Abbots Leigh A
    NORTH SOMERSET LOCAL PLAN 2038 Choices for the Future: A Northern Corridor Proposal from the Parish Councils of Abbots Leigh and Pill and Easton- in-Gordano 1 Introduction The North Somerset Local Plan 2038 Choices for the Future proposes four approaches to how and where new housing development might be located. We are concerned about the scale of housing required by Government as well as the capacity of the development industry to deliver such numbers. Nevertheless, North Somerset will be vulnerable to planning applications for major development should housing targets not be met and this proposal, therefore, respects the target numbers. In our view each of the four approaches - Retain the Green Belt, Urban Focus, Transport Corridors and Dispersal – have strengths and weaknesses. This submission proposes an approach to North Somerset as a whole which draws on elements of the four approaches and meets the required target housing numbers (15,500 to 17,500). This hybrid approach is set out below in Table 1.
