I can informyou that: Planningpermission is GRANTEDsubject to thefollowing conditions: 1. Thedevelopment to whichthis permission relates must be begunnot later than the expirationof threeyears from the date of thispermission. REASON To complywith Section91 of the Townand CountryPlanning Act 1990,as amendedby Section51 of the Planningand CompulsoryPurchase Act 2004,and to preventan accumulationof unimplementedplanning permissions. 2. The developmenthereby approved shall not be caniedout otherwisethan in accordance with the plansnumbered 411710018.,002, 0038, 004A, 005, 0074 and 009 receivedby the Local PlanningAuthority on 25 November2010. REASON To ensurethat the development is canied out strictly in accordancewith the approved plans. Authorisedfficer: of3 PAP/2010/0602 3. Nodevelopment shall commence on siteuntil such time as detailsof allfacing materials to be usedhave first been submitted to andapproved in writingby theLocal Planning Authorig.

Beforethe hotelexension hereby approved is occupied,a TravelPlan Co-ordinator shall be appointedby the applicant who shall have the responsibilitiesas listed in theFramework Travel Planreceived on 16January 2007. This plan shall then be implementedin fullwith particular regardto theprovision of annualmonitonng reports as providedfor bySection 9 of the Plan. REASON In orderto reducetraffic generated by the hotel. INFORMATIVES 1. TheDevelopment Plan policies which are relevant to thisDecision are as follows: NorthWarwickshire Local Plan 2006 (Saved Policies): CorePolicy 2 (DevelopmentDistribution), ENV2 (Green Belt), ENV4 (Trees and Hedgerows), ENV10(Energy Generation and Conservation), ENVI 1 (NeighbourAmenities), ENV13 (Buildings Design)ECON10 (Tourism), ECON11 (Hotels and Guest Houses) and TPT6 (Vehicle Parking). REASONEDJUSTIFICATION Thisproposal is for inappropriatedevelopment in theGreen Belt. Howeverthe applicant has put forwarda numberof planningconsiderations which he considersare material.lt is consideredthat theseare of sufficientweight to amountto the very specialcircumstances necessary to overridethe presumptionof refusalfor thatinappropdate development. These considerations are the extant 2007planning permission; the fact that an extensionto the hotelof thissize has been accepted in principle,the scale and volume of theproposal is slightlyless than the 2007 consent, the cunent proposalhas less impact on theopenness of theGreen Beit than the 2007 consent, and hat there areno othermaterial adverse impacts. The applicant additionally has agreed to theRevocation of the2007 planning permission. In essencethis cunent proposal is seenas beinga "betted'proposal thanthe 2007 extant permission, and is thus worthy of "exchange"with that extant permission.

  • Section 2 – Statement of Significance
    Section 2: Statement of Significance 63 Tame Valley Wetlands Landscape Partnership SECTION 2: Statement of Significance 2.1 Introduction This section describes what is important about the heritage of the Tame Valley Wetlands Landscape Partnership scheme area and why it is significant at a regional and national level. 2.2 Landscape The River Tame runs through the landscape, forming the spine of the rich mosaic of wetland habitats created by sand and gravel extraction. The river valley is flat and broad with gentle slopes. Formerly the rich mineral content of the valley provided a living for the valley’s inhabitants but now, empty of minerals but full of water, the extraction pits and quarries provide a rich habitat for wetland species. The rural parts of the valley around Middleton and Curdworth are mainly farmland whereas the eastern edge has some remaining common and heath. Some small areas of woodland remain but this would have been more extensive in previous centuries. The towns and villages have grown up alongside the river close to broad shallow crossing points. Kingsbury Village and the River Tame © 2013 EA 64 Tame Valley Wetlands Landscape Partnership The need to transport the minerals resulted in an ever increasing network of criss crossing transport routes across the valley, separating communities, but leaving a rich legacy of engineering heritage, and highlighting the Tame Valley’s involvement with key moments in history like the industrial revolution. It is man’s usage of the resources within the Tame Valley that have shaped the landscape that we see today. ...Noisier yet than ever Heaven meant Beset by the traffic’s constant roar Thou’rt now a green island trapped, triangled, Strangled, within the noisy nexus of the nation’s motorways..

  • Greater Birmingham HMA Strategic Growth Study
    8 STRATEGIC GREEN BELT REVIEW Approach and Methodology Background and Study Approach 8.1 In the context of seeking to address the shortfall in housing need across the HMA, this section moves on to present a strategic review of the Green Belt. 8.2 A significant proportion of the land in the HMA Area outside the built-up areas is covered by Green Belt policy, requiring the demonstration of Exceptional Circumstances through Local Plan Review for any alterations to be made to its extent. 8.3 The West Midlands Green Belt was created following the publication of Circular 42/55 which invited local planning authorities to consider the establishment of Green Belts in their development plans. As in other parts of the country, the designation of Green Belt was a reaction to the urban sprawl along transport corridors along with growing car ownership increasing the accessibility of rural areas. Land had already been bought by local authorities on the edge of the major urban areas to prevent further outward sprawl, when, in the early 1960s there were proposals for a Green Belt around the Birmingham conurbation. 8.4 Green Belt proposals were put forward as amendments to development plans but remained formally unapproved until 1975, when the Secretary of State approved the West Midlands Green Belt, although a quarter remained ‘interim’ and was only introduced in later reviews of structure and local plans. The West Midlands Green Belt covers approximately 900 square miles and extends between 6 and 15 miles from the built edge of the conurbation, surrounding and abutting a number of towns and cities: Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Redditch, Cannock, Coventry, Lichfield, Tamworth, Rugby, Stratford upon Avon, Warwick/Leamington, Bridgnorth and Telford (Figure 24).
