  • Marchington Neighbourhood Plan (2016 – 2031)
    Marchington Neighbourhood Plan (2016 – 2031) Policy Document Made Version September 2016 Marchington Parish Council Foreword This is the “Made” version of the Marchington Neighbourhood Plan, following the majority “Yes” vote at the referendum on 15th September 2016. It reflects the hard work of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group over two years and the commitment of Marchington Parish Council to the principles and practice of “Localism”. I would like to thank local people for coming out in such good numbers to support the Plan so substantially at the referendum. Following the successful completion of this process, the Neighbourhood Plan will now become a part of the “Development Plan” alongside the adopted East Staffordshire Local Plan, and as such it will form part of the legal planning framework for Marchington. This Policy Document includes a summary of evidence, the Vision & Objectives, formal planning policies and other proposals and notes on implementation. It is complemented by two other reports which were prepared at the submission stage; 1 The Consultation Report: This describes how local people, businesses and other organisations have been consulted, the comments made and any changes made. 2 Basic Conditions Statement: This explains how the plan meets legal requirements. It also includes the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) screening. In addition, earlier drafts, the sites assessment and character reports, the parish profile, policy context and the Issues & Options report are as separate documents. For those of you who want to know a little more about Neighbourhood Plans and how they fit into the planning system, the following summary may be helpful: 1 They were introduced by the Government in 2011 under the Localism initiative to give people a greater say about the location and appearance of development and to help to protect valued local heritage, landscape and community assets.

  • The Abortive Inclosure of Needwood Forest in the 1650S
    1 THE ABORTIVE INCLOSURE OF NEEDWOOD FOREST IN THE 1650s NIGEL J. TRINGHAM As part of Parliament’s dismemberment of the English monarchy an Act was passed in July 1649 to authorise the sale of Crown lands, including those of held in the right of the duchy of Lancaster.1 In Staffordshire the lands included Needwood forest, which formed part of the duchy’s honor of Tutbury in the east of the county. Forests were at first excluded from general sales, and it was not until1654 that an order was made to inclose it and parcel the land out for sale: the process met with strong local resistance and had still not been completed at the Restoration. Vested inalienably in the Crown under an Act of 1696, the forest survived until 1801 when it was at last disafforested and inclosed.2 The present writer has already provided some of the background documentation — parliamentary surveys of the forest and its constituent parks made in 1649 and 1650,3 and a petition against inclosure presented to Oliver Cromwell in 16554 — and the purpose of this article is to discuss the abortive inclosure, concentrating on the reasons behind the resistance and the strategies applied by the opponents. Covering some 9,400 a. (3,804 ha.) in the angle formed by the rivers Trent and Dove and occupying a plateau of high ground in parts over 400 ft. high, Needwood forest had belonged to the Ferrers family as lords of Tutbury in the post-Conquest period and came to the earls (later dukes) of Lancaster after Earl Robert de Ferrers was deprived of his title and estate in 1266.
