Evidence from the prehistoric periods has been noted from the proposed development area and that there is further potential for prehistoric evidence related to artifact assemblages. There is also some potential for Roman archaeology, as a Roman period hoard was discovered close to Burton Bandalls Farm and there is a Roman villa at Stanford on Soar beneath the parish church. The potential for Saxon and early-medieval archaeology is limited as the development area appears to be situated in largely agricultural land, although the areas close to Cotes hamlet and to Stanford on Soar, particularly along the Kings Brook may have the potential for early medieval evidence. The potential for medieval archaeology is limited to agricultural activity except for areas close to the hamlet of Cotes and associated with former fishponds and the moated site on moat hill. The potential for post-medieval archaeology has also been demonstrated by the study and relates to the windmill in Windmill Field. The proposed development area has been found to lie in an area of significant archaeological evidence from the medieval period with a Scheduled Ancient Monument and several listed buildings in the hamlet of Cotes. Distant listed buildings are also present in Stanford on Soar. In the light of the evidence from the area it is likely that the local authority will require further assessment and evaluation prior to development. This will establish whether the absence of evidence reflects the history of those areas of the proposed development where no archaeological evidence has been recorded or the lack of archaeological investigation. In addition the local authority and English Heritage will require the detailed assessment of the impact of development proposals on the setting of both listed buildings and the Scheduled Ancient Monument forms part of an Environmental Impact Assessment. Given the topography and the current level of evidence it is considered that archaeology will not provide a fundamental impediment to development. The Heritage Assessment has also considered the impact of the proposed Master Plan on the setting of designated heritage assets and found that the development constitutes less than substantial harm to the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Cotes village, the listed building of Cotes Park-house (Old Hall), but not substantial harm. Whilst the proposed new neighbourhood will result in a change to the setting of the designated assets, this change, in light of the capacity of the landscape to cope with and accommodate change, will not result in the loss of their special interest. This assessment has demonstrated that the character, appearance and interest of the assets would not be lost or compromised by the proposed new neighbourhood. The development is designed to have a low profile and to be set amongst green corridors. It will not dominate or CgMs Limited © 5 MD/14778 Heritage Assessment Land at Cotes, Leics challenge the heritage assets in the valley. This location is not so untouched that it cannot accommodate further development. A further consultative meeting to consider these conclusions is recommended with English Heritage. CgMs Limited © 6 MD/14778 Heritage Assessment Land at Cotes, Leics 1 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF STUDY 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 This Heritage Assessment considers the archaeological potential of land at Cotes, Loughborough and the potential visual impact of the proposed development. The land is situated to the east of Loughborough (Fig 1). The proposed development area is in Leicestershire, in the district of Charnwood and close to the boundary with the county of Nottinghamshire, district of Rushcliffe. The proposed development area is entirely agricultural land, the majority arable. 1.1.2 This report was prepared by Michael Dawson of CgMs on behalf of Pegasus Planning in support of a proposal to promote the land for development. 1.2 Scope of Study 1.2.1 The objectives of the report can be summarised as follows: To assess the potential of the proposed development area to contain archaeological evidence. To assess the potential survival of archaeology at the proposed development area, its condition and extent. To assess and evaluate the potential significance of any archaeology and to examine whether this might be the subject of further evaluation or mitigation. To assess whether the archaeological evidence, or potential evidence, would provide a constraint to development. To assess whether the proposed development would constitute a harmful visual effect on the setting of heritage assets. 1.2.2 Evidence has been examined at the Leicestershire County Records Offices, Leicestershire Central Library, Lougborough Library and Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire Heritage Environment Records (HER) for the proposed development site. In addition, HER records and other evidence up to 500m surrounding the proposed development site have been CgMs Limited © 7 MD/14778 Heritage Assessment Land at Cotes, Leics examined to determine the pattern of archaeological and historic development of the landscape. The latter provides the basis for assessing the potential presence of archaeological data and the potential visual impact of the proposed development. 1.2.3 The site has been subject to a walk-over survey by Michael Dawson on 25th January 2008, 20th February 2008 and 2nd July 2013. CgMs Limited © 8 MD/14778 Heritage Assessment Land at Cotes, Leics 2 PLANNING BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN FRAMEWORK 2.1 National Policy and Guidance 2.1.1 In March 2012 the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) published the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), providing guidance for planning authorities, property owners, developers and others on the conservation preservation and investigation of Heritage Assets. 2.1.2 Section 12 of the NPPF, entitled Conserving and enhancing the historic environment provides guidance for planning authorities, property owners, developers and others on the conservation and investigation of heritage assets. Overall, the objectives of Section 12 of the NPPF can be summarized as seeking the: Delivery of sustainable development Understanding the wider social, cultural, economic and environmental benefits brought by the conservation of the historic environment Conservation of England's heritage assets in a manner appropriate to their significance, and Recognition of the contribution that heritage assets make to our understanding of the past. 2.1.3 Section 12 of the NPPF recognises that intelligently managed change may sometimes be necessary if heritage assets are to be maintained for the long term. Paragraph 128 states that planning decisions should be based on the significance of the heritage asset and that level of detail supplied by an applicant should be proportionate to the importance of the asset and should be no more than sufficient to review the potential impact of the proposal upon the significance of that asset. 2.1.4 Heritage Assets are defined in Annex 2 of the NPPF as: a building, monument, site, place, area or landscape positively identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions.

  • Councillor Allowances
    COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE REVIEW – FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS AGREED BY CHARNWOOD BOROUGH COUNCIL AT THE FULL COUNCIL MEETING ON 22ND JANUARY 2018 The following recommendations were agreed at the Council meeting on 22nd January 2018. The next stage is for a community governance order or orders to be implemented to bring the recommendations into effect for the next parish council elections in May 2019. AGREED RECOMMENDATIONS & REASONS Recommendation 1: New Parish of Hamilton Lea (Development off Hamilton Lane, Barkby Thorpe) That a new parish be established by separating the area outlined in orange on Map 1 in Appendix A from the parish of Barkby & Barkby Thorpe, that it be named Hamilton Lea, and that it should not have a parish council (ie. it will be a parish meeting). Reason: The development has no significant geographical or road connections with Barkby or Barkby Thorpe, and therefore establishing a separate parish meeting would be the best way of recognising and developing community cohesion and identity within the development. The development is being marketed by two developers under the names of ‘Hamilton Gardens’ and ‘Hambledon Lea’, and therefore ‘Hamilton Lea’ appears to be suitable name for the new parish. Recommendation 2: Broadnook SUE That the initial proposal to establish a new parish meeting for the proposed Broadnook development not be progressed at this time due to the lack of approved outline planning permission for the site, but that a Community Governance Review to specifically consider the development should be initiated by the Head of Strategic Support if outline planning permission is approved. Reason: Due to the absence of outline planning permission for the site it is unlikely that the development will be significantly progressed by the time any recommendations arising from the Community Governance Review come into effect, and it is therefore not recommended to establish a new parish for the Broadnook development at this point in time.

  • East Leake Parish Council's Response to NRC Consultation
    East Leake Parish Council supports the principle of provision of the National Rehabilitation Centre on the Stanford Hall site, and at this stage has no comments to make on the design and layout, but wishes to express severe reservations about access and sewerage. Vehicle Access and Impact on Road Network and Junctions The Transport Assessments are dated 2012 and gave predictions for 5 years on to 2017. East Leake Parish Council has not had sight of the updated Transport Assessment. Are existing traffic levels as predicted and have the predictions going forward been updated to reflect the following? the increase in traffic due to East Midlands Airport and massive development at Junction 24 the explosive growth in housing in East Leake the closure of the eastern arm of Rempstone Road at the junction with Loughborough Road, as stated in condition 5 (iv) of the inspector’s report for the appeal decision for the site off Rempstone Road. (Appeal ref APP/P3040/W/17/3178343, planning ref 16/01881/OUT) East Leake residents and Parish Council believe these factors seriously increases risks to all road users on the A6006, whether going to through destinations, local to East Leake and Loughborough, or actually going on site. Even if DRC has obtained all detailed permissions, NRC should now be required to take account of latest traffic conditions and our concerns. We do NOT have confidence in the access plans as drawn and would urge ARUP to provide better solutions, for instance a roundabout or traffic lights at the proposed new entrance, opposite Loughborough Road from East Leake.
