    HS2 Ltd ‘2018 Working Draft Environmental Statement’ Consultation Response of Leicestershire County Council December 2018 Structure of this response This Response to the HS2 Ltd Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) by is split into four parts. These are as follows: PART 1: Document Introduction and Main areas of Concern PART 2: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Community Areas LA03, LA04 and LA05 PART 3: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Route-wide Effects PART 4: Response to WDES Vol 3 – Off-route Effects PART 5: Appendices For any enquires about this response, please contact: [email protected] 1 | Page PART 1: Document Introduction and Maim areas of Concern i) This document and its appendices comprise Leicestershire County Council’s (the Council’s) response to the Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) for HS2 Phase 2b (the proposed scheme). We issue this response in the spirit of contributing to the processes surrounding this vast infrastructure project, but must include the caveat that the Council can only respond to the material to hand and further intensive work with HS2 Ltd is required to fully understand the impacts for Leicestershire and the most appropriate mitigation. ii) The Council recognises that the WDES is a draft document. However, it is disappointing that even in draft; there is a distinct lack of information provided in sections of the WDES, especially regarding the proposed scheme’s constructional and operational impacts and in respect of its design. But, the Council have determined to use this as an opportunity to shape the design and mitigation across the County. Where clear mitigation is not yet defined, the Council will seek to secure assurances from HS2 Ltd that further work will be carried out to inform the preparation of the Hybrid Bill, including HS2 Ltd preparing an Interim Transport Assessment (including sensitivity testing), and during the Parliamentary processes.

The Parish Council has identified omissions, inaccuracies and limitations. Rather than detail these section by section we would like to start with our own description of Appleby Parish. Appleby Parish Map As can be seen from the map left the parish of Appleby includes both the village of Appleby Magna and the hamlet of Appleby Parva. The parish runs to the outskirts of Measham (at Birds Hill) and Snarestone village. It is primarily a rural parish, including a number of farms. The M42 runs through the West of the parish. Housing in Appleby Parva is primarily on, or close to, the A444 towards Nuneaton. However, Appleby Magna is unusual in being close to, but not located on, any major road. This is important for its sense of place. The Appleby Magna and Appleby Parva Village Design Statement (which was the result of extensive public consultation and participation and became adopted as supplementary planning guidance) identified four elements of village character which development should seek to conserve: community spirit, rural nature, heritage, and quality and diversity of design (guideline 1). The minor village roads connecting the village to the major road network also attract significant numbers of cyclists and horse riders. Appleby Magna has been subject to significant housing growth in the last couple of years.

  • AN EMERGENCY EXCAVATION at APPLEBY MAGNA CHURCH, LEICESTERSHIRE by DAVID PARSONS
    AN EMERGENCY EXCAVATION AT APPLEBY MAGNA CHURCH, LEICESTERSHIRE by DAVID PARSONS Introduction In June 1975 it became known that the Parochial Church Council of Appleby Magna was about to embark, on the advice of its architects, on a campaign to alleviate the dampness in the outer walls of the church of St Michael and All Angels. A major item in this campaign was to be the improvement of the exterior drainage by the excavation of a trench for a perforated plastic pipe around the walls of the church; the proposed trench was to be approxi­ mately 0.50 m. (1 ft 8 in.) wide and up to 1.00 m. (3 ft 3 in.) deep, and dug directly against the north and south aisle walls, following a sinuous route to avoid the buttresses. From the archreological point of view this proposal constituted a threat of the most serious kind, to which attention has been drawn in a recent publication of the Council for Places of Worship. 1 The church, consisting of west tower, aisled nave and rectangular chancel with north chapel, is datable on art historical grounds to the fourteenth century,2 though it is possible that the fabric, even of the north and south aisles, is of earlier date than the arcades and fenestration. It is not possible to investigate the structural history of the church visually; the interior is plastered and emulsion-painted, and the external masonry gives every appearance of homogeneity. As the excavation was to prove, however, there is clear evidence-both archreological and documentary-that there was on at least one occasion substantial, albeit local, interference with the south aisle wall; the fabric has been sufficiently tidied up to leave no superficial trace of this, and it is quite possible that further structural changes have taken place, but cannot be recognized merely by looking at the masonry.
