Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal
Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal Page | 1 Executive Summary Leicester and Leicestershire is a diverse and dynamic local economy and its success is integral to driving economic growth in the United Kingdom. The area is home to just under 1 million residents and over 32,000 businesses, many in the manufacturing and logistics sectors. Leicester and Leicestershire also benefits from its location at the heart of the UK road network and close proximity to both the second largest freight handling airport in the UK and London. The area provides employment for 435,000 people and generates an estimated gross value added of £19.4 billion. Despite these strengths Leicester and Leicestershire faces a series of challenges: more than 25,000 jobs were lost between 2008 and 2011 (nearly twice the national average); youth unemployment is relatively high within the city of Leicester and parts of the county; and whilst 70% of small and medium enterprises have plans for growth many find accessing the right type of business support is complex. Some local businesses also note difficulties in filling vacancies. As part of the area’s wider Growth Strategy the City Deal seeks to tackle these key barriers. Over its lifetime the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership expects that the City Deal will deliver: A new employment scheme targeted at 16-24 year olds that will reduce youth unemployment by 50% by 2018, deliver 3,000 new apprenticeships and 1,000 traineeships and work placements. An innovative new employment and training scheme for young offenders. Improved co-ordination of business support services and a range of innovative business support programmes. -
Lutterworth Settlement Profile Introduction
Lutterworth Settlement Profile Introduction General Location: Lutterworth is located just of Junction 20 of the M1 in the south west of Harborough District, 7 miles north of Rugby and 15 miles south of Leicester City Centre. The motorway forms the eastern boundary of the settlement, although the parish extends beyond. Much of the southern parish boundary follows the River Swift which skims the southern edge of the town. The south western boundary follows the line of the A5. Whilst Magna Park Distribution Centre is partially within the parish, the majority lies in neighbouring Bitteswell with Bittesby parish. The Lutterworth southern bypass links Magna Park directly to the M1, effectively forming the southern limit of the town. Lutterworth is one of two market towns in the District, the other being Market Harborough some 12 miles to the east. Due to its position in between Rugby and Leicester, Lutterworth was important in the days of coaches and horses and the survival of a number of coaching inns that bear witness to this. The town also contains some historic half-timbered buildings, some of which date back to the 16th century. The town expanded rapidly with the introduction of the railway in 1899. Lutterworth station on the Great Central Railway closed along with the railway in 1969. Some of the dismantled railway line still survives between the town and the M1. Lutterworth is identified as a Key Centre in the Core Strategy, along with Broughton Astley. As a Key Centre its role is to provide additional housing, employment, retail, leisure and community facilities to serve its own community and those in its catchment area, in a manner which seeks to create a more attractive environment for businesses and visitors to the town centre. -
Shackerstone
Shackerstone Conservation Area Appraisal The early history of the village is uncertain and first reference to the settlement appeared in the Doomsday Book of 1086 when reference was made to “Sacrestone” which means town of robbers. After the Norman Conquest when the Saxon estates were handed over to the Norman overlords, a 12th century castle was built to the north of Station Road, the earthworks of which are still visible. In the Elizabethan era the Halls were the prominent family in the village. They occupied Shackerstone Hall next to the church for over 200 years from around 1630 until they emigrated to Australia in 1829 after selling the estate to Lord Howe. The Hall burned down in 1845 and was replaced by the Gopsall estate workers cottage on Church Walk. At that time, the village was a successful self supporting community and had four farms, two pubs two shops, a bakery, a builder, a carpenter, brickworks, a post office, a coal merchant, a dressmaker, a shoemaker and a blacksmith. It also was the home for a large coach building business until 1935 run by the Insley family which provided employment for a coachbuilder, a wheelwright and up to 30 other people. The coach works supplied wagons and wheelbarrows throughout the country. The farms included Bridge Farm which also housed the village bakery, Church Farm, Arnold Farm and Cattows Farm. To support the 300 residents in the village Earl Howe funded the construction of the village school and school house in 1844. The school closed in the 1930’s and the school house is now the Village Hall. -
Local Plan Review Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council
Local Plan Review Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council Hinckley Hub Rugby Road Hinckley Leicestershire LE10 0FR SENT BY E-MAIL ONLY TO [email protected] 3rd March 2019 Dear Sir / Madam HINCKLEY & BOSWORTH LOCAL PLAN REVIEW (LPR) – NEW DIRECTIONS FOR GROWTH CONSULTATION Introduction Thank you for consulting with the Home Builders Federation (HBF) on the above mentioned consultation. The HBF is the principal representative body of the house-building industry in England and Wales. Our representations reflect the views of our membership, which includes multi-national PLC’s, regional developers and small local builders. In any one year, our members account for over 80% of all new “for sale” market housing built in England and Wales as well as a large proportion of newly built affordable housing. We would like to submit the following answers in response to the Council’s consultation document. Q2. Should the authority explore other options for growth beyond the existing urban area? The currently adopted spatial strategy for the Borough focuses the majority of new development in and around the urban area of Hinckley, Burbage, Barwell and Earl Shilton. The adopted Borough settlement hierarchy identifies the urban area at the top of the hierarchy with a three-tier approach to rural settlements defined as key rural centres, rural villages, and rural hamlets. The strategy directs development to urban locations where services, jobs, public transport and other facilities are most readily accessible. Outside of the urban area, the strategy limits development to that necessary to keep rural settlements and communities viable and vibrant. The general principle is that less development is directed to settlements the further down they are in the hierarchy. -

Dementia Pilot
Assistive Technology Dementia Pilot January 2020 Information for participants What are we doing? We are running a small pilot project for 50 people to test some new technology designed to help people with dementia living at home. This is something new for the council and we would like to see how it works and understand what the people taking part think about it. We have selected the technology that we are going to use and at the end of the project we will ask you how helpful and easy it was to use. Where are we doing it? The pilot project is a partnership between Leicestershire County Council and five district and borough councils and is for people living in the following areas: • Charnwood • North West Leicestershire • Hinckley and Bosworth • Oadby and Wigston • Blaby What does the technology do? We will be using a product called MySense. This monitors an individual’s activity and daily routine in the home and then communicates the information it collects using the internet. It gathers information using: • Sensors – which can identify movement and activity, e.g. when the bathroom door was opened, or the fridge was used • Smartplug – which connects to the kettle and can indicate when this has been used • Sleep Sensor – which can identify the time at which someone has gone to bed and the time they spent in bed This information is then communicated in the following ways: • App – for family members/friends, which shows a timeline of activity. • Notifications – that a family member/friend will receive by text about the important things you need to know about Do I have to pay for this? No, the council will provide the system to you free of charge during the pilot. -

Photographic Survey of Groby Conservation Area
GROBY CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL & MANAGEMENT PLAN PHOTOGRAPHIC SURVEY OF GROBY CONSERVATION AREA November 2010 1 Markfield Road sited at the junction with Ratby Road is a pleasant stone property. Unfortunately, the two dormer windows and fixed plastic shop canopies are not traditional features within the conservation area. The chimney stacks and pots are imposing features in this area of the conservation area. The terrace of four dwellings 3 – 9 Markfield Road are stone properties with slate roofs and dominant chimney stacks. Unfortunately, the gable end to no. 9 has been rendered. - 2 - 11 Markfield Road is a large rendered dwelling, painted white, with a stone plinth, slate roof and stone boundary walls. The property still has chimney stacks and pots and a front bay window has been added. 13 Markfield Road is a large imposing dwelling with two front bay windows and a fine privet hedge. The property is rendered, painted white with a slate roof and interesting diaper brickwork. - 3 - This charming thatched cottage, 15 Markfield Road, has one half of its front elevation built in stone and the other rendered. This bungalow is one of three modern dwellings that run up Markfield Road numbering 17 – 21. Unfortunately, these dwellings do not respect the traditional character of the conservation area by way of their design or use of modern materials. - 4 - The brick garage fronting 19 Markfield Road does not respect traditional character of the conservation area in its form or siting. The modern bungalow, 21 Markfield Road, does not reflect the character of the conservation area. - 5 - View looking westwards along Markfield Road showing a traditional stone wall running up the carriageway and planting on the left where a mineral railway line once crossed under the road. -
