Oakham and Barleythorpe Neighbourhood Plan 2018 – 2036 Oakham and Barleythorpe Neighbourhood Plan 2018 – 2036 Regulation 16 Submission Version October 2020 Prepared by Oakham and Barleythorpe Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group on behalf of Oakham Town Council and Barleythorpe Parish Council † Michael John Hinman (1949–2019) Michael Hinman was a member of the Oakham Neighbourhood Plan steering group from its very beginning. A scion of a local family, he always maintained close connections with Rutland even during his long professional career as an archivist with Coventry City Council. He returned to live right in the centre of Oakham when he retired, and immediately became immersed in local affairs. His knowledge of local history, combined with his ordered and analytical mind, made him uniquely qualified to participate in the drafting of the Oakham Neighbourhood Plan. We take this opportunity to place on record our appreciation of his invaluable contributions to this Plan. It is our loss that he did not live to see it in its completed state.

Oakham Town Council appointed the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group to develop a Plan on its behalf. This Plan provides positive planning for development and seeks to improve the lives of residents by ensuring the area grows in a way that is both socially and environmentally sustainable. Thanks must go to the group for the time and effort they have given to developing the Plan over the course of the last 36 months, guided and supported by Rural Community Council (Leicestershire & Rutland) and OpenPlan Consultants Ltd. Thanks also go to the Rutland County Council, for its support and help in the production of the Plan. Thanks are also due to the residents who have supported the process and actively given their input, using consultation events and surveys to express their concerns, interests and aspirations and their desire to influence the future of their community. Funding for the production of this Plan has been received from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and My Community – Locality (Locality is a national government membership network supporting local community organisations in assisting and the funding of neighbourhood plans).

A Neighbourhood Plan is a document that sets a vision for the future of a Plan Area (a neighbourhood, a parish, a town, etc.) and sets out how this vision will be realised through planning and development. The document must reflect the views of the residents of the Plan Area. A Neighbourhood Plan is a statutory planning policy document and, once it has been made (i.e. brought into force by the Local Planning Authority), it will be used by: • planning officers and elected members of the local authority in assessing planning applications; • applicants as they prepare planning applications for submission to the local authority; • the Town and Parish Councils when considering and commenting on planning applications; • residents and stakeholders in a wider capacity. Plans and their use are subject to legislation and regulation including: • the Town and Country Planning Act 1990;1 • the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004;2 • the Localism Act 20113; • the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012;4 • Directive 2001/42/EC on Strategic Environmental Assessment.5 As well as being in general conformity with national planning policies and guidance and with local strategic policies, every Neighbourhood Plan must also satisfy specified “Basic Conditions” before it can be approved and then taken into account when planning applications are

  • Sources of Langham Local History Information 11Th C > 19Th C
    Langham in Rutland Local History Sources of Information Compiled by Nigel Webb Revision 2 - 11 November 2020 Contents Introduction 11th to 13th century 14th century 15th century 16th century 17th century 18th century 19th century Please select one of the above Introduction The intention of this list of possible sources is to provide starting points for researchers. Do not be put off by the length of the list: you will probably need only a fraction of it. For the primary sources – original documents or transcriptions of these – efforts have been made to include everything which might be productive. If you know of or find further such sources which should be on this list, please tell the Langham Village History Group archivist so that they can be added. If you find a source that we have given particularly productive, please tell us what needs it has satisfied; if you are convinced that it is a waste of time, please tell us this too! For the secondary sources – books, journals and internet sites – we have tried to include just enough useful ones, whatever aspect of Langham history that you might wish to investigate. However, we realise that there is then a danger of the list looking discouragingly long. Probably you will want to look at only a fraction of these. For many of the books, just a single chapter or a small section found from the index, or even a sentence, here and there, useful for quotation, is all that you may want. But, again, if you find or know of further especially useful sources, please tell us.

These words were no mere rallying cry in the first issue of this journal. They were to serve as part of the statement of the aims of the Society that had just come into existence and as an invitation to contribute to a journal dedicated to the discovering and reinforcement of the bonds between the old and the new in the county of Rutland. The issues of Rutland Record indexed here bear witness to the strength of the response to Bryan Waites's opening challenge. The successive numbers offered aspects of Rutland life and thought, wide in their historical range and topical variety. Matters as diverse as Rutland's origins, the history of cricket, local beer, church architecture, ironstone quarrying, and meteorology were dealt with, each in some depth, in the first five numbers alone.
