According to a narrative concerning the early years of Holy Trinity priory in Aldgate, London, known only from fifteenth-century manuscripts, Bernard prior of Dunstaple, John prior of Launde (Landa), Geoffrey de Clinton, the (king’s) chamberlain (Gaufridus camerarius de Clinton), and others named, witnessed the gift of the Cnihtengild in London to Holy Trinity in that year. It is unsurprising that the priors of two recently founded Augustinian houses should witness a gift to Holy Trinity, thought to be the first Augustinian house in England. Their names were presumably taken from a contemporary deed or other record which has not been preserved (Hodgett, Cartulary of Holy Trinity, 168, no. 871; R. R. Sharpe, Calendar of Letter Books, C, 220). The king’s confirmation of the gift, 000, Regesta 1467, also witnessed by Geoffrey de Clinton, is apparently authentic and datable 1123 × 1127, so the narrative’s date of 1125 may well be accurate. Launde priory was founded at Loddington, ‘in cuius territorio abbatia fundata est’, according to Henry II’s general confirmation of 1155 × 1158 (H2/1456).

  • HARBOROUGH DISTRICT COUNCIL OPEN SPACE/SPORT and RECREATIONAL FACILITIES and ASSESSMENT of LOCAL NEEDS FINAL REPORT by PMP In
    HARBOROUGH DISTRICT COUNCIL OPEN SPACE/SPORT AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AND ASSESSMENT OF LOCAL NEEDS FINAL REPORT BY PMP in association with Donaldsons JUNE 2004 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary What is the aim of this open space, sport and recreation study? The study aims to provide a clear picture of existing and future needs for open space, sport and recreation in Harborough and the current ability to meet those needs in terms of quality, quantity and accessibility. The study sets local standards based on assessments of local needs, demographics and audits of existing open spaces. It is the basis for addressing quantitative and qualitative deficiencies through the planning process and should form the basis of the development of an open space strategy for Harborough DC. Scope of the open space and sport and recreation study The study includes all open space and recreation types identified within the latest Planning Policy Guidance Note 17 (Planning for Open Space Sport and Recreation, July 2002) and its Companion Guide (September 2002). These include parks and gardens, natural and semi-natural areas, green corridors, amenity greenspace, provision for children and young people, outdoor sports facilities, allotments, cemeteries and churchyards and civic spaces. The study also considers the provision of sport and indoor recreation facilities. What is the need for the study of open space, sport and recreation? A local assessment of open space and open space needs will enable the Council to: • plan positively, creatively and effectively in identifying priority areas for improvement and to target appropriate types of open space required • ensure an adequate provision of high quality, accessible open space to meet the needs of community • ensure any accessible funding is invested in the right places where there is the most need • conduct S106 negations with developers from a position of knowledge with evidence to support.

    Rural Economy Planning Toolkit Companion Document Instructions for Using the Toolkit Useful Context Information Produced by: Funded by: Rural Economic Development Planning Toolkit This document explains how to use the toolkit in greater detail and sets out some of the broader context relevant to the development of the toolkit. Its sections are: Instructions for Using the Toolkit Economic Development Context The Emerging National Framework for Planning and Development The assessment of planning applications for rural economic development: designated sites and key issues for Leicestershire authorities What makes a good rural economic development planning proposal? Case Studies Parish Broadband Speeds The Distribution and Contribution of Rural Estates within Leicestershire Attractions in Leicester and Leicestershire Instructions - Using the Toolkit The toolkit is in the form of an interactive PDF document. Most of the text is locked, and you cannot change it. Throughout the toolkit, though, comments, information and responses are asked for, and boxes you can type in are provided. You are also asked to select 'traffic lights' – red, amber or green. It is important to understand that, if you start with a blank copy of the toolkit, the first thing you should do is save it with a different name using the 'Save as Copy' command in Acrobat Reader. This means you have now created a version of the toolkit for the particular project you are working on, and still have the blank copy of the toolkit for another time. Let's assume you have saved your copy of the PDF file as 'Project.pdf' – every time you save again you will save all of the additions and traffic light choices you have made.

  • Kibworth Harcourt Parish Council in Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission of England (LGBCE) Electoral Review of Harborough District Council 2016/17
    The Review Officer (Harborough) Local Government Boundary Commission for England 14th Floor Millbank Tower Millbank London SW1P 4QP e-mail [email protected] 6th January 2017 Please find below and attached the submission by Kibworth Harcourt Parish Council in response to the Local Government Boundary Commission of England (LGBCE) Electoral Review of Harborough District Council 2016/17. LGBCE Objectives of the Review The aim of the electoral review is to recommend ward boundaries that mean each councillor represents approximately the same number of voters, i.e. electoral equality. The Commission also announced that it is minded to recommend that Harborough District Council should have 34 councillors in the future, a reduction of 3 from 37. Submission by Kibworth Harcourt Parish Council (KHPC) The proposed ward arrangements are based on the primary objectives of the LGBCE and to ensure electoral equality as well as maximising community cohesion. KHPC have studied the criteria set down for making submissions as to boundary changes within the Harborough District Council area and would propose the following (see appended map and spreadsheet analyses) for those Wards either adjacent to, or within the sphere of influence of the two Kibworth parishes. We would define this sphere by the availability of shopping, healthcare, educational & leisure facilities and the general drift of outlying populations thereto taking into consideration highways and transport links. KHPC has also examined the submission by Harborough District Council so have ensured that our own proposals are based on the same electoral numbers as those of HDC. On the KHPC proposed Ward spreadsheets (attached) we have accounted for these differentials by adding a row in red showing new or lost electors without allocating them to Parish level.
