Environmental Statement Volume 2: MA03 Preface The working draft Environmental Statement This report forms part of Volume 2 of the working draft Environmental Statement (ES) for Phase 2b of High Speed Two (HS2). The purpose of the working draft ES is to provide the public and other stakeholders with an opportunity to review and comment on preliminary environmental information for Phase 2b of HS2, which is based on a stage in the ongoing design development and environmental assessment process. Nothing included at this stage is intended to limit the form of the final scheme that will be presented in the hybrid Bill and formal ES in light of further scheme development and the ongoing discussions with stakeholders such as Transport for the North and Midlands Connect. Consultation on the working draft ES is being undertaken to help inform the ongoing design and environmental assessment in advance of producing a statutory formal ES.

    Local Plan for Pendle Core Strategy Publication Report September 2012 For an alternative format of this document phone 01282 661330 Pendle Core Strategy Publication Report 1 Foreword Foreword Pendle is a unique and special place: attractive, diverse, yet constantly changing. We care about our community, so it is important that we recognise the challenges that the future holds, and that we plan for those changes. We live in an age where rapid advances in technology are changing how we communicate, the way we shop, where and how we work and the life choices we make. We are living longer too; and have higher expectations for a future where we expect to enjoy good health and greater prosperity. We must direct future growth to the right locations and carefully manage regeneration activity. We need to provide guidance so that new development benefits those people who live and work in our towns and villages, whilst continuing to protect and enhance those assets that make the area both attractive and locally distinctive. In doing so we must carefully consider the social, economic and environmental impacts of our actions. Only in this way can we hope to realise our vision of making Pendle a better place to live, work, learn, play and visit. The Core Strategy will work alongside Our Pendle, Our Future: Pendle’s Sustainable Community Strategy, to help us shape the future of Pendle, by addressing issues that are important to our locality as well as matters of wider concern such as climate change. The policies in the Core Strategy have been influenced by the evidence available to us.

  • Appendix 4 Detailed Proposals for Each Ward – Organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP)
    Appendix 4 Detailed proposals for each Ward – organised by Local Area Partnership (LAP) Proposed Wards within the Knutsford Local Area Partnership Knutsford Local Area Partnership (LAP) is situated towards the north-west of Cheshire East, and borders Wilmslow to the north-east, Macclesfield to the south-east and Congleton to the south. The M6 and M56 motorways pass through this LAP. Hourly train services link Knutsford, Plumley and Mobberley to Chester and Manchester, while in the east of this LAP hourly trains link Chelford with Crewe and Manchester. The town of Knutsford was the model for Elizabeth Gaskell's novel Cranford and scenes from the George C. Scott film Patton were filmed in the centre of Knutsford, in front of the old Town Hall. Barclays Bank employs thousands of people in IT and staff support functions at Radbroke Hall, just outside the town of Knutsford. Knutsford is home to numerous sporting teams such as Knutsford Hockey Club, Knutsford Cricket Club, Knutsford Rugby Club and Knutsford Football Club. Attractions include Tatton Park, home of the RHS Flower show, the stately homes Arley Hall, Tabley House and Peover Hall, and the Cuckooland Museum of cuckoo clocks. In detail, the proposals are: Knutsford is a historic, self-contained urban community with established extents and comprises the former County Ward of Knutsford, containing 7 polling districts. The Parish of Knutsford also mirrors the boundary of this proposal. Knutsford Town is surrounded by Green Belt which covers 58% of this proposed division. The proposed ward has excellent communications by road, motorway and rail and is bounded to the north by Tatton Park and to the east by Birkin Brook.

    Y7L0JRO3V2 # Frodsham « eBook Frodsham By Frederic P. Miller Alphascript Publishing. Taschenbuch. Book Condition: Neu. Neuware - Frodsham is a market town and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. Its population is 8,982. It is approximately 3 miles (5 km) south of Runcorn, 16 miles (26 km) south of Liverpool, and approximately 28 miles (45 km) south-west of Manchester. The River Weaver runs to its north east and on the west it overlooks the estuary of the River Mersey. The A56 road and the Chester-Manchester railway line pass through the town, and the M56 motorway passes to the north west. In the medieval times it was an important borough and port belonging to the earls of Chester[citation needed] Its parish church, St. Laurence's, still exhibits evidence of a building present in the 12th century in its nave and is referenced in the Domesday Book. A market is held each Thursday, and Frodsham's viability as a trading centre is emphasised by the presence of the 'big four' clearing banks and several building societies. 108 pp. Englisch.

  • Cheshire East Parish Council Cluster Group Consultation Response
    HIGH LEGH PARISH COUNCIL HS2 PHASE 2 CONSULTATION RESPONSE i. Do you agree or disagree with the Government’s proposed route between the West Midlands and Manchester as described in Chapter 7 [of the consultation document]? This includes the proposed route alignment, the location of tunnels, ventilation shafts, cuttings, viaducts and depots as well as how the high speed line will connect to the West Coast Main Line. We do not agree with the Government’s proposal to build a High Speed rail line between London and Manchester for the following reasons:- As the HS2 route passes directly through the area represented by the cluster group it will inevitably impact on residents, businesses, farms and the local environment. Various meeting have taken place throughout 2013 at which decisions have been taken not to support HS2 as proposed. We require a much more direct route London to Manchester in keeping with the spirit of the original brief from government “direct city centre to city centre”. It is essential that any new or amended route makes increased use of tunnelling, cuttings and false cuttings, for example, and reduce the severance of communities and farms by providing bridges and under bridges along the route. If such changes can be secured we would suffer reduced blight, maintain the maximum amount of productive farmland and reduce the loss of property and harm to residents. Meetings have already taken place with HS2, and will continue to do so to ensure our concerns are understood. Six key issues have emerged through this process identifying where the Parish Council Group should focus its efforts to change the existing line and reduce the impact of the route: · Impacts on farms.
