Site & Surroundings 1.1 The application site comprises approximately 60 ha of land to the north, west and east of Mere Lane and alongside the A5, adjacent to Magna Park, Lutterworth, and linked to it via the proposed extension to Argosy Way. The nearest local settlement is Willey which is 0.85 km away and separated from the site by the A5. To the north are the villages of Ullesthorpe, Bitteswell and Claybrooke Parva which are located 1.7 km, 2.1 km and 2.4 km from the application site respectively. The town of Lutterworth is located 1.7 km to the east, beyond which is located Junction 20 of the M1. See (Figure 1) 1.2 The existing Magna Park complex is a 202 hectare (500 acre) warehousing and logistic centre (distribution centre) located near Lutterworth, Leicestershire, England and was constructed on the site of a former airfield (RAF Bitteswell). It is considered to be a pioneer of large distribution centres in the UK. It is located in an area of land bounded by the M1, M6 and M69 motorways; known as the ‘Golden Triangle’ for its logistically favourable location. 1.3 The application site (see Figures 2 and 3) includes three large open arable fields, the edges of two further medium to large arable fields, three smaller enclosed fields, some mature hedgerow boundaries, with some standard trees and mixed native tree belts. The main fields of the site gently slope down from Mere Lane towards the Upper Soar Valley from circa 125 m AOD in the north east to circa 110 m in the west. Figure 1: Contextual Site location 1.4 The site is crossed by a farm track and permissive access bridleways created under a Higher Level Stewardship scheme (HLS) administered by Natural England, with the current agreement set to run until 31st October 2017. Two cottages, known as Bittesby Cottages, are located on this farm track to the west of the site. Figure 2: Site Location Plan 1.5 Further north, parts of three further arable fields are included within the area of the application site, up to the ridge line which is marked by a bridleway. To the north west, the red line boundary of the site also includes a 20 m wide strip of arable land with the application proposes for tree P a g e | 2 planting. The strip lies alongside an existing hedgerow and continues across an arable field to meet the existing ridgeline hedgerow that forms the Ullesthorpe Parish boundary. Figure 3: Aerial Photo of site 1.6 At the north eastern end of the site is the Mere Lane Lagoon which attenuates water draining from Magna Park and feeds a watercourse that runs along a small tributary valley of the River Soar to the northern and western sides of the site 1.7 To the south east of Mere Lane, the site includes an area of rough grassland and two belts of trees located adjacent to the Magna Park services farm with its associated plant and water treatment / attenuation pools and reed beds. Another water course drains from these pools flows under Mere Lane and along the south western end of the main part of the site. To the south and east of the site, also on the opposite side of Mere Lane, are the logistics warehouses of the existing Magna Park development. 1.8 Alongside the Magna Park service farm and to the west, the application site boundary includes a section of Mere Lane, existing woodland belts either side of the lane and a strip along the edge of two large arable fields. Further west, the site includes a linear parcel of land to the east of the A5 corridor where there are some scattered existing trees and intermittent sections of hedgerow and some individual native shrubs. This vegetation is located on a bank sloping down from a wide grass verge at the edge of the carriageway. To the south of Mere Lane there is a wide grass verge, running up to a mature hedgerow which is located on level ground in front of a woodland planted embankment which forms the boundary to Magna Park. Further to the north, on this side of the A5, there is a conifer belt and a line of deciduous trees located at the roadside alongside Lodge and Emmanuel Cottages. Both cottages are within the control of IDI Gazeley and will be demolished if planning permission for the application is approved. P a g e | 3 1.9 On the western side of the of the A5, there is a public footpath and bridleway connecting to the edge of the A5 from Willey and these run up to and pass through two rows of post and rail fence set behind a wide grass verge. A mature hedge line and with occasional trees follows the fence alignment nearest to the A5 and partially follows the fence line set further back on the field boundary. Widening works (with the exception of part of a new roundabout junction) will be focused on the eastern side of the road. 1.10 The application site does not include, nor is it adjacent to, any statutory designated ecology sites such as SSSIs, SPA/SAC/RAMSAR, AONB. Furthermore, The site area does not include, nor is it adjacent to, any non-statutory designated sites. The Old Manor Reedbed Local Wildlife Site (LWS) is situated approximately 1.5 km to the north of the site. There are also a candidate LWS and a Potential LWS between 1.5 km and 2 km from the site, neither of which have been designated. 1.11 The site area does not contain any designated heritage assets. Although the Scheduled Monument of Bittesby Deserted Medieval Village is located in close proximity to the corridor of proposed planting, the closest edge of the proposed built development lies c 420m from the eastern most edge of the Scheduled Monument boundary. The geophysical and field walking surveys of the accessible areas within the site found no evidence of significant archaeological activity of any period within the application boundary although there are a small number of geophysical anomalies that may be of limited archaeological interest. Bittesby House which is considered to be a non-designated heritage asset is located adjacent to the western boundary of the site. 2.

  • The Roman Sites of South-West Leicestershire
    PLATE I HIGH CROSS—FROM NORTH HIGH CROSS—FROM SOUTH THE ROMAN SITES OF SOUTH-WEST LEICESTERSHIRE BY ARTHUR J. PICKERING, F.G.S. PART I VENON/E TRIPONTIUM Preface THE following notes on the Roman Sites of South-West Leicester­ shire are of a somewhat fragmentary character. They will be found, however, to make some contribution to present day know­ ledge of the Midlands during the Roman occupation and will, the writer hopes, pave the way for excavation of a more ambitious character. The writer is convinced that systematic search and enquiry would reveal a number of other sites in this corner of the county at present unrecorded. Hinckley, Higham-on-the-Hill, Market Bosworth and Peckleton, where some evidence of Roman occupation has come to light, would possibly be found to be homesteads of the Roman-British farmer similar to Barwell and Sapcote. There is here every indication that in early forest clearings the land was tilled and stock raised for the important market town of Ratse Coritanorum. Owing to the lack of vigilance and to the superficial resem­ blance of Roman building material to what may be found on the site of any old cottage, there can be no doubt that much valuable evidence is often overlooked and for ever lost to us. Whatever historical interest these notes may afford to the antiquarian, their value has been considerably enhanced to the student by the descriptive and comparative notes on the coarse pottery contributed by Mr. B. H. St. J. O'Neil, of the Office of Works. His invaluable help in the examination of this material, and also in the revision of the complete type-script of this paper for the press, places the writer under a great debt of gratitude.

  • Archaeological Resource Assessment of the Aggregates Producing Areas of Warwickshire and Solihull
    Warwickshire County Council Archaeological Resource Assessment of the Aggregates Producing Areas of Warwickshire and Solihull Final Report Draft Version 2.0 31/03/2008 By Magnus Alexander with Stuart Palmer and Laurence Chadd Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund English Heritage Project No 4681 Archaeological Resource Assessment of the Aggregates Producing Areas of Warwickshire Summary This document is an assessment of the archaeology associated with aggregate minerals in Warwickshire and Solihull. The project was undertaken by the archaeology section of Warwickshire Museum Field Services, based within the Adult, Health and Community Services Directorate of Warwickshire County Council. The project has characterised, digitally mapped and subsequently analysed the resource, in order to inform the development of both minerals development frameworks and archaeological research, and provide a sound dataset for management and decision-making. This project primarily matched the criteria in Objective 2 of the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF; strategic mitigation of future extraction): the analysis of existing data and wider dissemination matched Objective 3 (mitigation of past extraction). This project has used a number of data sources, primarily: relevant geological information, in particular that which is available in digital form from the BGS; relevant archaeological data, contained in the Warwickshire and Solihull HERs; aerial photographic information including additional mapping as part of English Heritage’s National Mapping Programme. The project has resulted in: a corpus of baseline data to inform future strategies; enhancement of the Warwickshire and Solihull HERs; increased awareness of archaeological issues in relation to aggregates extraction; dissemination via this project report, a non-technical leaflet and through the Warwickshire County Council web site.
