  • Rural Settlement List 2014
    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.

  • 83 Dispersed Plans by Secondary Attribute These Are Farmsteads
    Dispersed plans by secondary attribute These are farmsteads where the farm buildings and farmhouse are loosely grouped together within the farmstead boundary but with no central yard area. They indicate the need to flexibly manage livestock within the boundary of the steading.

Many of these farmsteads are small steadings with a farmhouse and just one or two buildings set in an enclosure designed for holding stock. These types of farmsteads have a paddock- like feel, set in enclosed areas within which the house and any working buildings are sited and livestock are fenced in. Their plan form and location is intimately related to the movement of livestock and people to seasonal grazing grounds (transhumance). Their distribution is fairly sparse across Shropshire, though it is possibly to see a greater concentration in the north east of the county in the lowland heath areas and in small pockets on the uplands of the Shropshire and Clun Hills. They are generally associated with other small farmstead types (LC1, LC2, LINs) as well as smallholdings, and are mainly associated with stock rearing areas.

Oswestry Uplands Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Oswestry Rural Parish Council
    Oswestry Rural Parish Council Minutes of the Meeting of the Parish Council held on Tuesday 30 June 2015, in Rhydycroesau Village Hall starting at 7pm Present: Councillors: M Lee (Chair), J Barlow, P Broomby, S Chalk, W Cheetham, P Davies, S Jones, A Milner, P Milner and R Milton. Clerk: Val Smout In attendance: Carole Warner Members of the Public: 12 01/15 Apologies for absence: Cllrs P May and J Middleton (accepted) and Shropshire Councillor Joyce Barrow. The Chair took the opportunity to thank the Clerk for her dedication and service to the Parish Council. Cllrs W Cheetham and P Milner presented the Clerk gifts in appreciation of her commitment. All wished the Clerk a long and happy retirement. 02/15 Public Participation Period: A representative from Trefonen Rural Protection Group spoke in connection with the planning application at East of Three Trees. The Group’s objections to the application centred on scale, loss of the wall and the required excavation. It was calculated the 600 tonne of material, mostly rock, would be excavated. Transport of the material could only be made by a small wagon. A large lorry had recently caused damage to the village reinforced this fact. Should the application be recommended for approval by a Planning Officer, he requested Shropshire Councillor Joyce Barrow call the application in for determination by the Planning Committee. The representative also spoke in connection with the application at Fron Ucha and recommended a traffic management plan be a condition due to the location of the property. A resident spoke in connection with the application at North of Blakemere.
