Introduction 1.1 The Site Allocations and Policies Development Plan Document (DPD) is one of a series of documents that are being prepared as part of Rutland’s Local Plan. 1.2 The Local Plan comprises a folder of documents (see diagram below) that replaces existing policies in the Rutland Local Plan (2001) and the Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Waste Local Plan (2002) and provides planning policies for Rutland for the period to 2026 and beyond. 1.3 The Core Strategy DPD was found to be sound following public examination in March 2011 and was adopted by the Council on 11 July 2011. The Minerals Core Strategy and Development Control Policies DPD was adopted by the Council in October 2010. 1.4 The purpose of the Site Allocations and Policies DPD is to allocate specific sites for development and to set out more detailed policies for determining planning applications within the overall strategy provided by the Core Strategy. 1.5 A list of the existing Local Plan policies that are being replaced by the Site Allocations and Policies DPD is included in Appendix 7. Diagram: The Local Plan 3 Site Allocations and Policies Development Plan Document Adopted October 2014 1.6 The DPD has been subject to a Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats Regulations Assessment which considered the anticipated effects of the proposals on the area’s environmental, economic and social conditions and changes were made to the document as a result. 1.7 Preparation of this document has involved an extensive process of consultation that commenced with a “Call for Sites” in August 2010. Consultation on “Issues and Options” and “Preferred Options” took place in September 2011 and October 2012 respectively. The “Proposed Submission” document was published for consultation in April 2013 and submitted to the Secretary of State in July 2013. 1.8 The Council has considered the issues raised in consultation at each stage and taken into account the findings of the local plan evidence base, the Sustainability Appraisal, the Habitats Regulation Assessment and the overall strategy provided by the Core Strategy DPD. 1.9 A public examination was held in November 2013 and the inspector’s report was received by the Council in August 2014. The inspector concluded that the document provides an appropriate basis for the planning of the Council’s area subject to a number of modifications being made. These modifications have been incorporated into this document. 1.10 The Site Allocations and Policies Development Plan Document was adopted by Rutland County Council on 13 October 2014 and now forms part of the statutory development plan, which provides the framework for the Council’s decisions on future development proposals in Rutland. 1.11 When using the plan it must be read as a whole as a number of different policies may apply to a particular site or issue. The policies of the plan should not be read in isolation from each other. Review of the Local Plan 1.12 The plan will be reviewed in accordance with the Council’s Local Development Scheme in order to ensure that the policies of the plan and its provision

  • Tilton on the Hill Settlement Profile Introduction
    Tilton on the Hill Settlement Profile Introduction General Location: Tilton on the Hill (hereby referred to as Tilton), lies on the B6047 that connects Market Harborough (14 miles away) to Melton Mowbray (11 miles away). The village is in the north-east of Harborough District, sitting only 2 miles north of the A47. Tilton parish is one of the largest in the District and embraces numerous past and current settlements such as Halstead, Whatborough and Marefield. The settlement neighbours Skeffington to the south, Billesdon, Cold Newton and Lowesby to the west, Marefield and Owsten and Newbold to the north, with Loddington, Launde and Withcote lying to the east. Beyond its Harborough District neighbours, the parish is in close proximity to Melton Borough and Rutland County. The village centre is a conservation area (with the church, pub and Main Street constituting its centre) and the parish contains 5 scheduled ancient monuments. Such a rich history can be explained by Tilton’s location, at the crossroads of two ancient, pre-Roman pathways that date back to the Bronze Age. Furthermore, the village was recognised not only as ‘The Best Village in Leicestershire’ in the Calor Village of the Year Awards 2009, but also as the ‘Sustainability Village of the Year’ for the Midlands in the same year. An achievement that can be considered the fruits of ‘Tilton Green’s’ labour – a community centred on improving Tilton’s environmental record (discussed in Tilton Parish Council section). Lastly, Tilton is among one of the highest places in east Leicestershire, standing at 219 metres above sea level near the peak of the High Leicestershire area.

  • Rutland County Council Electoral Review Submission on Warding Patterns
    Rutland County Council Electoral Review Submission on Warding Patterns INTRODUCTION 1. The Council presented a Submission on Council Size to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) on 11 July 2017 following approval at Full Council. On 25 July the LGBCE wrote to the Council advising that it was minded to recommend that 26 County Councillors should be elected to Rutland County Council in future in accordance with the Council’s submission. 2. The second stage of the review concerns warding arrangements. The Council size will be used to determine the average (optimum) number of Electors per councillor to be achieved across all wards of the authority. This number is reached by dividing the electorate by the number of Councillors on the authority. The LGBCE initial consultation on Warding Patterns takes place between 25 July 2017 and 2 October 2017. 3. The Constitution Review Working Group is Cross Party member group. The terms of reference for the Constitution Review Working Group (CRWG) (Agreed at Annual Council 8 May 2017) provide that the working group will review arrangements, reports and recommendations arising from Boundary and Community Governance reviews. Therefore, the CRWG undertook to develop a proposal on warding patterns which would then be presented to Full Council on 11 September 2017 for approval before submission to the LGBCE. BACKGROUND 4. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England technical guidance states that an electoral review will be required when there is a notable variance in representation across the authority. A review will be initiated when: • more than 30% of a council’s wards/divisions having an electoral imbalance of more than 10% from the average ratio for that authority; and/or • one or more wards/divisions with an electoral imbalance of more than 30%; and • the imbalance is unlikely to be corrected by foreseeable changes to the electorate within a reasonable period.

  • LIST of SCHEDULED MONUMENTS in LEICESTERSHIRE and RUTLAND (To 31 March 1956)
    LIST OF SCHEDULED MONUMENTS IN LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLAND (to 31 March 1956) This list has been compiled with the co-operation of the Ancient Monuments Division of the Ministry of Works. A Monument under Guardianship is one for the conservation of which the Ministry accepts responsibility. A Scheduled Monument is protected in that no alterations of any kind may be made to it (including ploughing and excavation) without three months' notice being given to the Ministry. It is then open to the Ministry to take steps to secure the permanent preservation of the monument, or alternatively to allow its destruction after suitable excavation or recording has been carried out. It is emphasised that scheduling implies no right of access to the general public, and permission should always be sought before entering any property. The Hon. Secretary of the Leicestershire Arch::eological and Historical Society will be grateful for suggestions regarding suitable additions to this list. The Act excludes churches and chapels in regular use and houses in occupation. In the list below, all monuments (other than those in Leicester itself) =1r.e referred to by the civil parishes in which they are located, the name of the c1V1l parish being given in italics: e.g., Lockingion-Hemington.

  • The Rove Beetles of Leicestershire and Rutland
    LEICESTERSHIRE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Rove Beetles (Staphylinidae) of Leicestershire and Rutland Part 1: Sub-families Paederinae, Pseudopsinae and Staphylininae Derek A. Lott Creophilus maxillosus (Graham Calow) LESOPS 24 (2011) ISSN 0957 – 1019 Correspondence: 5 Welland Road, Barrow upon Soar, LE12 8NA VC55 Staphylinids Part 1 2 Introduction With over 56,000 described species in the world, the Staphylinidae are the largest family in the animal kingdom (Grebennikov & Newton, 2009). Around a quarter of the British beetles are rove beetles, so they represent an important component of biodiversity in Britain. However, because of perceived difficulties in their identification, they have not received the attention that they merit. This paper aims to play a part in redressing that imbalance by listing all reliable records from Leicestershire and Rutland for the different species and analysing which species have declined locally over 100 years of recording rove beetles and which have prospered. The subfamilies treated in this first part include the largest and most conspicuous species in the family. The geographical area covered is the vice county of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55). Some records from adjacent banks of the River Soar that technically lie in Nottinghamshire are also included. These records can be distinguished by the use of Nottinghamshire parish names. Identification Staphylinidae can be easily recognised among beetles in the field by their short wing cases that leave five or six segments of the abdomen exposed and flexible. In fact they look more like earwigs than other beetles. For identification to species, all the members of the subfamilies in this part will be covered by the forthcoming Royal Entomological Society handbook to Staphylinidae parts 6 and 7 due for publication in 2011.
