  • The Gloucestershire Urban Economic Strategy 2007-2015
    DRAFT Gloucestershire First 26 April 07 THE GLOUCESTERSHIRE URBAN ECONOMIC STRATEGY 2007-2015 INTRODUCTION 1. Urban Gloucestershire lies astride the M5 and is made up of Gloucester City, Cheltenham Borough and parts of the Borough of Tewkesbury and Stroud District. With a total population of 310,800 and forecast by 2026 to be at least 370,800 this is a significant urban conurbation particularly in regional terms, as evidenced by the identification of Gloucester and Cheltenham in the draft Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) as two of the regionally Strategically Significant Cities and Towns (SSCTs)1. Within the Gloucestershire economy this urban area plays a vital role. Defining Urban Gloucestershire Urban Gloucestershire cannot be delineated precisely on a map without limiting some initiatives unnecessarily. In general it is those geographical areas of the Central Vale that have a concentration of people and businesses that by working together can complement one another and increase the economy of Gloucestershire. It therefore includes the whole of Gloucester City and Cheltenham Borough. It also will generally include, within Tewkesbury Borough, Tewkesbury Town and Ashchurch as well as the parishes of Brockworth, Hucclecote, Churchdown, Innsworth, Longford and embraces Gloucestershire Airport and Dowty/Smiths, although there are some aspects of these that are also 'rural' and will also be covered by the Gloucestershire Rural Economic Strategy. Similarly it will also generally include in Stroud District the settlements of Hardwicke and those others that comprise the defined Stroud Urban Area: Stonehouse, Stroud, Thrupp, North and South Woodchester and Nailsworth, although parts of these are also 'rural'. Economic and administrative boundaries are not identical.

The NRA has a wide range o f responsibilities for the control of the water environment, in particular: • conservation of water resources • pollution control • flood defence and flood warning • maintenance and improvements o f fisheries • nature conservation in water related habitats • promotion of water based recreation • control of navigation in some areas CATCHMENT The NRA’s vision for the future is of a healthy and diverse water MANAGEMENT PLANNING environment managed in an environmentally sustainable way balancing the needs of all users of water. To achieve this vision, the NRA is taking an integrated approach (ie bringing together its own activities and those of other groups and organisations) to management o f river catchments.

  • South Gloucestershire Council Boundary Review Liberal Democrat Group Submission June 2017
    South Gloucestershire Council Boundary Review Liberal Democrat Group Submission June 2017 This submission is from the Liberal Democrat group on South Gloucestershire Council. The Lib Dems are the second largest group on the council, and one of only two to ever have had an overall majority. As such, there is a good understanding of community links, and history, across much of the district. In our submission we have focussed upon the areas where we have deep community roots, stretching back over 40 years. In those areas we know the communities well, so feel we can make submissions which reflect the nuances of natural communities. However, there are some areas where we do feel others are better placed to identify the nuances. In those areas we have not sought to offer detailed solutions. We believe communities and individuals in those areas are best placed to provide their local solutions. We have submitted specific plans for the district over the areas where we have a good understanding, and believe our proposals are powerful, rooted in strong community identities, and efficient local government. All of the proposals are within the permissible variance from the new electoral quota with 61 Councillors, and we do not believe this needs to be modified up or down to make the map work. South Gloucestershire elects in an “all-up” manner, which means under Commission guidance, a mixture of 1, 2, and 3 member wards is appropriate, which we have proposed. We have proposed no ‘doughnut’, or detached wards, and many of the proposals allow for the reunification of communities which have previously been separated by imposed political boundaries.

  • In 1968. the Report Consists of the Following Parts: L the Northgate Turnpike Roads 2 Early Administration and the Turnpike Trust
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1971 pages 1-58 [This edition was reprinted in 1987 by the Author in Hong Kong with corrections and revised pagination] THE NQRIH§AIE.IHBNBlKE N SPRY For more than one hundred and seventy years the road from the city of Gloucester to the top of Birdlip Hill, and the road which branched eastwards from it up Crickley Hill towards Oxford and later London, was maintained from the proceeds of the various turnpikes or toll gates along it. This report examines the history and administration of these roads from their earliest period to the demise of the Turnpike Trust in l87l and also details excavations across the road at Wotton undertaken in 1968. The report consists of the following Parts: l The Northgate Turnpike roads 2 Early administration and the Turnpike Trust 3 Tolls, exemptions and traffic 4 Road materials 5 Excavations at Wotton 1968 I Summary II The Excavations III Discussion References 1 IHE.NQBIH§AIE.BQADfi The road to Gloucester from Cirencester and the east is a section of the Roman road known as Ermine Street. The line of this road from Brockworth to Wotton has been considered to indicate a Severn crossing at Kingsholm one Km north of Gloucester, where, as late as the seventeenth century, a major branch of the river flowed slightly west of modern Kingsholm. The extent of early Roman archaeological material from Kingsholm makes it likely to have been a military site early in the Roman period. (l) Between Wotton Hill and Kingsholm this presumed line is lost; the road possibly passed through the grounds of Hillfield House and along the ridge, now marked by Denmark Road, towards the river.

  • Local Plan 2018-2036
    SUPPORTING DOCUMENT FEBRUARY 2018 South Gloucestershire LOCAL PLAN 2018-2036 Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) 2017 Explanatory Note February 2018 www.southglos.gov.ukPAGE 3 Planning for our future South Gloucestershire Gypsy & Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) 2017 – Explanatory Note Introduction The Council, in its capacity as the local planning authority (LPA) is required by national policy to make their own assessment of ‘travellers’ accommodation needs for the purposes of planning. In August 2015, the Government published revised planning guidance in ‘Planning Policy for Traveller Sites’ (PPTS). The most significant amendment was a change to the definition of Gypsy and Travellers and Travelling Showpeople (‘travellers’). The new definition effectively regards those who have ceased to travel on a permanent basis as falling outside of the definition of what it means, for the purposes of planning, to be a Gypsy/Traveller or Travelling Showperson. The revised definition (from Annex 1) is as follows: “Persons of nomadic habit of life whatever their race or origin, including such persons who on grounds only of their own or their family’s or dependants’ educational or health needs or old age have ceased to travel temporarily, but excluding members of an organised group of travelling showpeople or circus people travelling together as such. In determining whether persons are “gypsies and travellers” for the purposes of this planning policy, consideration should be given to the following issues amongst other relevant matters: a. whether they previously led a nomadic habit of life b. the reasons for ceasing their nomadic habit of life c. whether there is an intention of living a nomadic habit of life in the future, and if so, how soon and in what circumstances.” This change to national policy has resulted in the Council needing to update its Gypsy and Traveller evidence base (the GTAA) in progressing its Local Plan.
