Introduction Neighbourhood Plans 1.1 The 2011 Localism Act has given communities the right to draw up a Neighbourhood Plan. This right is aimed at giving local communities genuine opportunities to influence the future of the places where they live. 1.2 The Sheepy Parish Neighbourhood Plan will allow people, who live, work and have a business in the Parish to have a say where they think new houses, businesses and shops should be located and what they should look like. A Neighbourhood Plan can also identify and protect important Local Green Spaces, conserve local heritage and protect areas of nature conservation interest. The Sheepy Parish Neighbourhood Plan will be a statutory plan which means that once it has been finalised, it will be used to determine planning applications in the Parish. The Sheepy Parish Neighbourhood Area 1.3 The Sheepy Parish Neighbourhood Area comprises the Parish of Sheepy which is located within

  • Bosworth at Redemore: Focus and Context
    Bosworth at Redemore: Focus and Context PETER J. FOSS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT local document to come to light in recent years (that is, since my work of the 1980s) relevant to the location of the battle of Bosworth is a demesne terrier belonging to the Abbey of St Mary de Pratis (Leicester Abbey) identified by Professor Barrie Cox in his contribution to the archaeological survey undertaken by the Battlefields Trust in 2005–09. The document1 is dated to between 1467 and 1484 and itemises fields, furlongs and meadows in the township of Stoke Golding (‘Stoke’) at the end of the fifteenth century, on the cusp of the battle of Bosworth. I would like here to offer a brief examination of this document and, together with other local records, show how it helps to focus on the place where the battle of Bosworth was fought, and how this reflects on the context of the archaeological discoveries made in 2009. I would also like to correct and rebal- ance a number of recent misconceptions. A Leicester Abbey Demesne Terrier The document identifies three open fields – Halmorefelde, Garbrodfelde and Whytmorefelde – which can be equated roughly with later named areas (from the early seventeenth century at least) in the same parish; that is, the later-named ‘Crownehillfielde’ with Garbrodfelde, ‘Milnehillfield’ with Whytmorefelde, and Halmorefelde with the area that lay south of the manor-house and its park (the ‘Park’ and ‘Great Pasture’ marked on Trimnell’s map of 1637).2 The inference has been made, reasonably, that the change of name from Garbrodfelde to Crownehillfelde

  • Coalville Fringe Assessment
    Urban Fringe 1: Western edge of Thringstone and New Swannington 1: View from School Lane 2: View from Red Hill Lane Element Assessment Score The Coalfield: Gently undulating landscape with effects of past and present coal and clay working. It displays a relatively dense pattern of former mining towns and villages characterised by 19th century mining terraces which follow the roads. The landscape is characterised by mixed farmland although away from settlements the land is mostly arable. There is generally low woodland cover. The land contains areas of restored land, some including establishing heathland, once far more extensive. Around Coalville the landscape is influenced by Bardon 21 warehousing, Bardon quarry and other light industrial development. Bardon Hill and quarry are features within views. The assessment notes that the land is part of the National Forest. Northern tip is part of Charnwood Forest: The underlying pre-Cambrian rocks result in a varied, hilly landform with exposed crags and rocky knolls and fast-flowing streams, resulting in a distinctive County Landscape character. The area has a high concentration of mixed deciduous and coniferous woodland, including many ancient woodland sites, hedges and hedgerow trees, some of which is unmanaged. The character area area is characterised by an intimate mixture of woodland and farmland in mixed arable and pasture uses. The area’s acidic soils support pockets of heathland vegetation, particularly around rocky outcrops, where the land has never been taken into cultivation. There is variable field patterns, with irregular fields often bounded by mixed hedges contrasted with long narrow rectilinear fields with stone walls.

  • Stoke Golding Neighbourhood Plan – Submission Version
    Stoke Golding Neighbourhood Plan: Submission 2020-2039 Stoke Golding Neighbourhood Plan: Submission Welcome to the Neighbourhood Plan for Stoke Golding. The plan is a culmination of the results of the 2016 questionnaire and consultations with local parishioners, businesses and other stake holders which shows how we would like to see our village evolve. It recognises the rural character of our Parish as well as its unique heritage. The plan appreciates that Stoke Golding residents would like to have a greater influence on the overall shape and development of their village over the next few years in many areas including biodiversity, maintaining important views, protecting our heritage and landscape, renewable energy, infrastructure and open spaces. It also determines what type of housing should take place and where we would choose to put it. The production of the plan has been led by the Neighbourhood Plan Advisory Committee on behalf of the Parish Council. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been involved in the process along the way. Without their dedication and hours of voluntary work, this plan just would not have been possible. I would also like to thank all of you for your support and patience. It has taken a long time due to the nature of the process. Stoke Golding is a lovely, friendly, vibrant village and we would like to maintain that for future generations.

  • Information Item
    MEMBERS' INFORMATION SERVICE Information Item From: THE DIRECTOR OF HIGHWAYS, TRANSPORTATION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT Circulated to: ALL MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY COUNCIL Date: 16 MAY 2008 ASSESSMENT SYSTEM FOR ‘REDUCING THE IMPACT OF TRAFFIC’ (RIOT) SCHEMES Purpose 1. To provide members with an overview of the assessment system for the prioritisation of schemes under the Local Transport Plan (LTP) objective of ‘Reducing the Impact of Traffic (RIOT) on communities’; and to advise on the outcomes of assessments undertaken to date. The Assessment System 2. The primary objective of the assessment system is to identify schemes which are likely to be effective in meeting the 12% speed reduction target of the LTP. The system uses set criteria by which schemes can be assessed and prioritised. These relate to: - initial assessment • the existing speed of traffic – average 85%ile speed from surveys (see paragraph 3 below) further assessment • traffic volume • the intensity of frontage development along the route • the number and type of community facilities 1 • the number of personal injury accidents 3. Requests for RIOT schemes are only further assessed when the average 85%ile speed of traffic is at or above the recommended enforcement limit set by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO); 10% + 2mph above the prevailing speed limit. e.g. a road subject to a 30mph speed limit would only be considered for a RIOT scheme if the average 85%ile speeds where at or above 35mph . The 85%ile indicates the speed at which 85% of the traffic using the road is either travelling at or below.
