  • Dunton Bassett Addition of Footpath
    53 Agenda Item 8 DEVELOPMENT CONTROL AND REGULATORY BOARD 11 JULY 2019 APPLICATION FOR DEFINITIVE MAP MODIFICATION ORDER PROPOSED ADDITION OF A PUBLIC FOOTPATH (Y108) FROM ASHBY PARVA ROAD TO LEIRE LANE, DUNTON BASSETT (HARBOROUGH DISTRICT) JOINT REPORT OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT PART A Purpose of the Report 1. The purpose of this report is to seek the Board’s determination of an application by Dunton Bassett Parish Council to add a Public Footpath to the Definitive Map of public rights of way. The route goes across restored mineral extraction land, from Ashby Parva Road to Leire Lane in the Parish of Dunton Bassett (Harborough District) and is shown on Plan No. M1039/R, attached as Appendix A to this report. Recommendation 2. It is recommended that an Order be made under the provisions of Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to add a Public Footpath to the Definitive Map from Ashby Parva Road to Leire Lane in the parish of Dunton Bassett of a width of approximately 1.6 metres as shown on Plan no. M1039/R attached to this report. Reason for Recommendation 3. The application satisfies the relevant statutory criteria because the evidence shows that a Footpath subsists or is reasonably alleged to subsist along the route claimed. Resource Implications 4. The County Council, as Highway Authority, has a legal responsibility to ensure the highway is open and available to the public and also for the clearance of naturally growing surface vegetation on public rights of way 54 running along field headlands.

  • The Domesday Geography of Leicestershire by D
    THE DOMESDAY GEOGRAPHY OF LEICESTERSHIRE BY D. HOLLY The Domesday Geography of Leicestershire1 By D. Holly THIS paper attempts to reconstruct the geographical conditions of Leicestershire in the eleventh century, using the information contained in the Domesday survey. Domesday statistics, it is true, need most cautious interpretation, yet they do provide a store of material bearing upon the economic geography of the eleventh century. PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY The prosperity of the inhabitants of Leicestershire in the eleventh century depended almost entirely upon agriculture, and, consequently, the physical features and soil distributions are most important in the interpretation of the Domesday statis­ tics. The main physical features of the region are shown on Fig. 1, and on Fig. 2 an attempt has been made to show the general distribution of the main soil types. From the latter diagram the south-eastern portion of the county has been excluded owing to the lack of any adequate map showing the surface geology. The key to the map explains the general classification of the rest of the county. The Boulder-Clay and its associated sand and gravel are grouped with the light soils because of their relative lightness as compared with the heavy Keuper, Liassic, and Upper Coal Measure, clays.2 The Soar Valley, filled with rich alluvium and gravels, runs roughly from south to north, and divides the county into eastern and western portions. The western area is almost entirely over four hundred above sea level, rising to eight hundred feet in Charn- wood Forest. It is an area of heavy Keuper and Coal Measure !I wish to thank Dr.
