REPORT OF CHIEF OFFICERS MANAGEMENTTEAM ~:' (INITIATED BY BOROUGHPLANNING OFFICER) HIGHNAMCOURT: PROPOSED-RETIREMENTCOMPLEX (Tfr.2775/K) STATEMENTOF BOROUGHCOUNCIL'S SUPPORT . El- Background On 20th February,1987 the Borough Planning Committee elected not to refuse an outline application for the erection of a retirement village, hotel and opera box at the above site. .' . ) In accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Development Plans) (England) Direction 1981, ~he application has been advertised in the local press as representing a major !_,_:· departu_re from approve-ct County Structure Plan and Local Plan policy. ~ I ~ ~-.. tJ l· Relevant Policies :' _ The County Planning Officer for Gloucestershire has advised that the proposal ~s contrary to the housing policies of the County f' Structure Plan (H4. Area Policy H20) and to the intentions of I Policy L2. It is also considered that the proposals are L . l:_ I' contrary to Policy H4 of the Gloucester North Environs Local Plan (adopt~d 1983) which does not provide for any new residential development at Highnam other than by infilling within the existing village. L 1.:. Reasons for Local Authority support Whilst recognising that the present development plan framework r: :-< does not provide for a development of this type and scale at \- Highnam, the Borough Council wishes to support the application -.- for the following reasons: •:· ,_,. (a) The Borough Council considers that the proposed site l: provides a unique opportunity to develop facilities ', . for the elderly in an attractive setting without ,.l. any detriment to existing residents in nearby !" . Highnam village. While similar schemes have been developed . abroad, it is believed that the proposals could represent I one of the first to take place in this country and the Borough Council welcomes the opportunity to see such a . development in the Borough of Tewkesbury . I. ' (b) The Borough Council does not consider that the existing policy framework is rele_,vant to the proposals submitted . It considers that such proposals are worthy of being treated exceptionally and judged on their individual merits. The Borough Council does not consider that such ~ exceptional treatment should necessarily be regarded ~ as representing a major change in policy outlook and does not .see its support for the application as c:·eating a general precedent for similar developr.:ent in the future. P 1 ( 1 ) f . r . L. {c) In addition to the reasons above, the Borough Council . regards the application as offering a considerable ~. opportunity for planning gain since it includes proposals to restore Highnam Court (a Grade 1 List~d Building) and its Gardens (Grade 11* gardens), both being in very poor condition at the present time. The Borough Council would therefore seek to enter into a Section 52 agreement with the developers . to ensure that the refurbishment of the house and 8. gardens was carried out prior to or in association with the residential and commercial development. '. • el (d) Finally, the Borough Council considers that a well ' designed and laid out complex of buildings can be • successfully integrated into the parkland setting of Ll.' Highnam Court without destroying the essential ) char-acter of the area. To this end the Borough Council is endeavouring to seek further information and details from the developer which will assi~t in assessing the jmpact o~ the proposals and also which will provide a satisfactory basis for ffi detailed submissibns. ~ Conclusion The Borough Council hopes that in the light of the above, the i Secretary of State will see fit to refer the application k~i,: . (TG.2775/K) back to the Borough Council for decision. I, I ) ',. I. /, ti fl ·:;.. I'. Ii.

  • Summer 2018 All Freetext Comments from Engagement Survey
    Outcome of Engagement Report – Summer 2018 All freetext comments from engagement survey respondents I think that the new community hospital should be in or near Cinderford because: It is central to the forest It is the most accessible part of the forest when there is severe weather. It is a central location within the forest, with good connections to other areas of the forest and wider Gloucestershire. It would make transferring between hospitals easier for patients. as part of my work role I cover the Forest of Dean currently based at the Dilke, on a one hour response time I can be anywhere in the Forest within this time frame based in either Coleford or Cinderford its central to North Forest - Maisemore, Corse, etc. More of a community area. This seems a better option as it is central to the forest and would be accessible to many. it would be in our locality and easiest to reach. It has good communications and is closest to my locality ITS CENTRAL TO THE WHOLE FOD CATCHMENT AREA Cinderford is a central location for residents across the FOD, when you take in locations in the Forest such as Newent, Coleford or Lydney would be too far to travel. It is in the most central location, with reasonably good public transport. If it was in Lydney this would be difficult for some people to access, especially people from Newent and surrounding areas. It is situated centrally between Lydney and Gloucester Central to the Forest. Close to area of high deprivation who may otherwise struggle to access healthcare.

As well as providing for national and regional movements, it is a major corridor through the Central Severn Vale (CSV). The A40 provides the CSV’s main link to the motorway network and it forms the northern bypass to Gloucester and 2 important radials within Cheltenham. It also provides the only access to Gloucester from a large area to the west of the Severn. As a consequence the A40, particularly on the section around and to the west of Gloucester, is often congested. The A40 is managed by the Highways Agency, but detrunking orders have been issued for the entire length of the route throughout the county along with the A48. The County Council has lodged an objection to the order on the basis of capacity and safety issues along the route with particular concern around the Gloucester area and on the basis of the need to develop an integrated approach to resolving the problem. The Council has undertaken an initial assessment of the A40 from Highnam Roundabout to Elmbridge Court Roundabout. This study established a £4million package of measures for five junctions (Highnam, Linton (B4215), Over, Longford and Elmbridge Court) to achieve an increase in capacity and to pave the way for the introduction of two park and ride sites.

  • Highnam Neighbourhood Development Plan 2011-2031
    Highnam Neighbourhood Development Plan 2011-2031 Introduction Government initiatives, under the Localism Agenda, now enable communities to produce their own vision of how they would like their area to develop. The Neighbourhood Plan must have regard to national policy and guidance, including the National Planning Policy Framework, which provides the Government’s overarching approach to planning. It must also be in general conformity with the strategic policies of the development plan – in Highnam’s case, this means the saved policies of the Tewkesbury Borough Local Plan to 2011. It is also relevant to note that various relevant information was taken account of during the plan-making process, including that relating to the first draft Tewkesbury Borough Plan and the emerging Joint Core Strategy. The Neighbourhood Development Plan is the final part of this planning structure. Once it has gone through all its stages, including a referendum of the Parish, it will become a Statutory Document, reflecting the views and aspirations of the Parish and it must be taken into account in determining Planning Decisions in the Neighbourhood Area during the plan period, 2011- 2031. Place Setting The Parish of Highnam is situated in the County of Gloucestershire, 3 miles to the West of the city of Gloucester and separated from it by the River Severn. The Parish is bounded on the South by the Severn, on the North by the smaller River Leadon and to the West by Highnam Woods (See Neighbourhood Area Map in ‘Plan Content and Status’ section below). The Parish is crossed by the A40 trunk road with the B4215 branching off and continuing towards Newent.
