This site has been identified to supply 500,000 cubic metres of ready-mix concrete to HS2 Phase 1 Area North. Additionally, surplus aggregates not suitable for ready-mix at the site would be used to supply and support local infrastructure projects in Staffordshire, including homes, roads and schools. Residents and stakeholders were given the opportunity to provide their feedback regarding the proposal via a number of different channels. A Freephone information line and email address were made available throughout the course of the consultation programme. These channels will be retained following submission of the planning application, for interested parties to receive further information and provide their feedback to the project team. A public exhibition was also held on Thursday 20 February 2020 between 3.00pm and 7.00pm at Alrewas Village Hall, Wellfield Road, Alrewas, Burton-on-Trent, DE13 7HB; to which over 1,350 households and businesses surrounding the site were invited to attend. Before the public exhibition, a stakeholder preview session was held at the same venue on the same day between 2.00pm and 3.00pm. The proposal was further publicised by a press release issued to local newspapers, encouraging residents to find out more and comment on the scheme. On the day, 107 individuals attended the public exhibition, and feedback forms were available for attendees to record their views. Overall, 82 pieces of feedback were received during the consultation process however, only 66 of these have been compliant with General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) as they were lacking the personal information required. Constructive feedback was received with the main comments relating to safety, transport, access, and potential flooding risks. CEMEX has carefully reviewed all the feedback received to date and, where possible, will evolve the proposals as they progress to address the comments raised by the local community. CEMEX is committed to engaging with the local community and, following the submission of the application will ensure that all interested parties and key stakeholders remain informed and updated regarding the proposals. This document provides a chronological account of the pre-application consultation undertaken and a review of the feedback received. Statement of Community Involvement 3 1. Introduction 1.1 CEMEX is bringing forward plans to develop a new quarry and ready-mix concrete plant on land to the west of Alrewas, between the Pyford Brook and the A513 (south of Orgreave). 1.2 This SCI has been produced to demonstrate CEMEX’s commitment to public consultation and effective community liaison regarding the proposals for the redevelopment of the site. 1.3 This document has been produced with the aim of clearly and concisely highlighting the community consultation undertaken by CEMEX in respect of its proposal for the site. 1.4 This document provides a chronological account of the consultation activity that has been undertaken during the pre-application stages of the planning application and the activity that CEMEX proposes to undertake post application. 1.5 In order to assist with the community consultation and communication, CEMEX appointed Built Environment Communications Group (BECG), a specialist communications consultancy, to form part of its wider project team for the proposed development. 1.6 All feedback received is accounted for and represented within this document. Statement of Community Involvement 4 2. Background 2.1 The site 2.1.1 The proposal site is located on land to the west of Alrewas, between the Pyford Brook and the A513 (south of Orgreave). 2.1.2 The site falls within Staffordshire County Council’s Area of Search west of the A38. 2.1.3 CEMEX has identified that the 32 hectares of land contains approximately 1.4 million tonnes of sand and gravel.

This will include extensive woodland planting, over 1km of new hedgerows, grassland, and two lakes which can be used for flood storage. Proposed phasing site plan Statement of Community Involvement 6 3. Pre-application Consultation 3.1 National Planning Policy Framework 3.1.1 While pre-application consultation is not mandatory, CEMEX has consulted in respect of the Localism Act 2011 and Government’s National Planning Policy Framework (2019). 3.1.2 Section 122 of the Localism Act 2011 describes that a person proposing to make a planning application on land in England should carry out consultation on the proposed application. This should include publicity considered likely to bring the application to the attention of a majority of the persons who live

Information provided within the document will inform the preparation of a Core Strategy for the District as part of the Local Development Framework, in particular in the consideration of potential development locations within the District and an overall spatial strategy for longer term development having regard to principles of sustainability. 1.2 In his report on the Public Examination into the District Council’s first submitted Core Strategy (withdrawn 2006), the Inspector concluded that although there were proposed housing allocations within some of the District’s rural settlements, there was a lack of evidence in relation to the suitability of villages in the District to accommodate growth. He considered that the relative sustainability of different settlements should have been assessed as part of the preparation of the Core Strategy. He indicated that an assessment of the sustainability of rural settlements would ensure that the scale and location of development outside the District’s two main towns was driven by overall sustainability considerations, rather than simply the availability of previously developed land.

  • Brook Walks Downloadable From: Walk
    WALKS IN LONGDON LOCATION Longdon is midway between Lichfield and Rugeley on the A51 road with Longdon Green on one side (signposted) and Longdon (Brook End) on the other. HISTORY LONGDON The name Longdon is derived from the Saxon “Langandune”, PARISH meaning long hill, located in the old Offlow Hundred. The Bishops of Lichfield held the manor of Longdon up to 1546 when it was surrendered to Henry VIII. In the same year the king granted ownership to Sir William (later Lord) Paget, an ancestor of the Marquis of Anglesey. He was one of the principal Secretaries of State. In 1563 Longdon was recorded with 102 households which grew to 178 by 1665. Today the population is around 2000, occupying approximately 1850 hectares. 4. HILL TOP Exit left onto wide stone track past farm buildings. There are views of Armitage, Handsacre and Rugeley Power Station as well as the distant Peak District hills. At the end of the track turn left onto ‘Green Lane’ bounded by trees and hedges. This can be muddy after rain.

  • Application No: 19/01526/OUTM Description Of
    Application No: 19/01526/OUTM Description of Development: Outline planning application for residential development of up to 57 dwellings including details of access including the demolition of 91 and 93 Alrewas Road Site Address: Land rear of 67 - 105 Alrewas Road, Kings Bromley, Burton Upon Trent Agreed extension of time until: 30/11/20 RECOMMENDATION: REFUSE for the following reasons 1. The proposed development seeks affordable residential development located outside of the settlement boundary for Kings Bromley within the Rural Area. As the development is outside Lichfield and Burntwood, affordable housing can be permitted if certain exceptions are made including meeting the need for of local people where there is no other conflict with the policies of the Local Plan. The application fails to justify the quantified need for the numbers and tenures of affordable units proposed, and therefore is unacceptable as a matter of principle. The Local Planning Authority can demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply of deliverable sites and therefore the development would undermine the spatial strategy for housing delivery. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Core Policy 6 (Housing Delivery) and Policy H2 (Provision of Affordable Homes) of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy 2008-2029 and the National Planning Policy Framework. 2. The proposed development would result in the loss of best and most versatile agricultural land, and the significant erosion of open countryside; as such would cause undue harm to the character and appearance of the countryside. The proposed development is contrary to Core Policy 1 (The Spatial Strategy); Core Policy 3 (Delivering Sustainable Development); Core Policy 6 (Housing Delivery); Policies H2 (Provision of Affordable Homes), NR1 (Countryside Management); BE1 (High Quality Development); and, Rural 1 (Rural Areas) of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy 2008-2029, and the National Planning Policy Framework.
