Wychavon The Chairman advised that in 10 years Wychavon had gone from strength to strength and was now one of the best in the country despite all the challenges that had been thrown at it. She added that she was sure this would continue with the close working relationship between officers and councillors. 92. Public Participation One member of the public had notified the Council of his intention to speak in accordance with the Council’s Constitution. Question from Mr R Hopkins, Droitwich “Re: Willow Court, Droitwich Willow Court is a complex consisting of leasehold bungalows, terraced houses and a large, seriously dilapidated, house which is the subject of my question located between Park Way and Hunters Way (off Westwood Road). The house which is (or was) a grade 2 listed building was occupied by four families until 1991 from which time it has remained empty. Planning consent was granted in 1997 and again in 2004 but no development has taken place. For the past 25 years maintenance of the property has been virtually non-existent. The windows are either boarded up or left open to the elements, the property is fenced on 3 sides, although there is evidence that the fence has been breached by children, the roof badly holed and now sagging in a number of areas creating fears that the property, if no action is taken soon, will start to collapse posing a threat to residents’ safety and their properties. The residents have not been able to sell their properties due to this eyesore plus issues relating to the ground leases on their homes which are now being addressed by your officers. Until this is resolved, the only option available to them if they need to move is either to leave the property empty as is the case with one property or to rent, neither of which is attractive. Even though by any normal standards the property is derelict, the Council did not take action to issue an Enforcement Order against the previous owners nor has any action been taken to address the problem since the Council took over the property in 2012. My question therefore is “What does the Council propose to do with this property before it starts to collapse?” There are bats in the roof but these in my experience can be relocated so that should not be an obstacle. In its previous ownership the Council could have considered issuing an Enforcement Order which I understand is your normal practice with derelict property but now it is in your ownership it is now very much in the Council’s court to act. Finally Councillors if any of you had the misfortune to live next to this house, I cannot believe you would not have your colleagues and officers move heaven and earth in Council to have immediate action taken on this property. It has been 46 CL.24.02.16 vandalised by neglect and the only option I feel is to pull it down. As far as people are concerned, it is a major issue.” Response from Councillor Mrs L R Duffy, Deputy Leader and Executive Board member for Resources “Thank you Mr Hopkins for bringing this forward. I am surprised it has not come up before. This will be a long response due to the complexity of issues. The freehold of the properties including the bungalows and the farmhouse at Willow Court transferred to the Council in 1974. This was subject to a long lease to PL Emms (Properties) Limited which was granted in 1972. The existence of this lease has limited what the Council has been able to do until very recently. Nevertheless there is a long history of Wychavon officers attempting to resolve the issues at Willow Court. On being granted the long lease, the farmhouse was split into six individual flats by PL Emms which were sold by way of an underlease to purchasers. However, substantial issues arose resulting from the poor condition of the building and the flats making them uninhabitable. The Council subsequently acquired the underlease of the flats by agreement in 1992. The farmhouse was left empty because of the headlease remaining in the ownership of PL Emms. At the time the estimated costs of bringing the already much dilapidated building back into good order were significant. PL Emms went into liquidation and the headlease was assigned to Mr Emms in his personal capacity, and following his death in 2006, then vested in the Executors of his Estate. After lengthy and difficult discussions with the Executors, terms were agreed in 2012 for the acquisition of the headlease by the Council. However, this was an extremely complicated acquisition and it was only finally completed in November 2015. Prior to this date, acting in the public interest, the Council took action to erect safety fencing around the farmhouse and paid for additional security. In 2014, the Council commissioned structural and ecological surveys. The structural survey confirmed that the building was severely dilapidated and that the inner floors had fallen in. The ecological survey confirmed that bats were not roosting in the farmhouse. The situation relating to the bungalows has been greatly improved by the Council’s acquisition of the headlease. This has meant that the Council is now the landlord of the tenants in the bungalows and is in a position to grant new tenancies which the tenants have been requesting. The Council is assisting with this process but ultimately will look to sell its interest in these properties.

  • APPENDIX 1 -TBC Mitton Policy Response.Pdf
    Appendix 1 Tewkesbury Borough Council Planning Application Consultation Response Application No: 18/00771/OUT Address: Land East Of Bredon Road Off Tewkesbury Road Bredons Hardwick (Wychavon District) Proposal: Development of approximately 500 residential dwellings (C3 Use Class) including means of access (two vehicular access points from the B4080 and a pedestrian/cycle access from Derwent Drive) and associated infrastructure and landscaping including provision of formal and informal open space and drainage attenuation basins. South Worcestershire Development Plan The South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP) was adopted in February 2016. Policy SWDP 2 - Development Strategy and Settlement Hierarchy sets out the spatial strategy for meeting growth in the SWDP area. In addition, Point I of the policy sets out that: “As required by the Duty to Cooperate, due consideration will be given, including through a review of the SWDP where appropriate, to the housing needs of other local planning authorities(6) in circumstances when it has been clearly established through the local plan process that those needs must be met through provision in the SWDP area.” Footnote 6 which accompanies the policy then goes on to state that: “Cheltenham Borough, Gloucester City and Tewkesbury Borough Councils are preparing a Joint Core Strategy (JCS). Land at Mitton (Wychavon District) and the Mythe (Malvern Hills District) were not included as strategic allocations in the Submission Version of the JCS (November 2014). The South Worcestershire Councils will, however, continue to monitor progress on the examination of the JCS.” This policy was prepared and adopted prior to the completion of the JCS examination and as such at the time of writing the site at Mitton to meet the needs in the JCS area (in particular Tewkesbury Borough) had not yet then been established by the JCS Inspector, through the Interim Report (May 2016), as having “the capacity and potential to contribute to meeting Tewkesbury’s needs”.

  • Records Indexes Tithe Apportionment and Plans Handlist
    Records Service Records Indexes Tithe Apportionment and Plans handlist The Tithe Commutation Act of 1836 replaced the ancient system of payment of tithes in kind with monetary payments. As part of the valuation process which was undertaken by the Tithe Commissioners a series of surveys were carried out, part of the results of which are the Tithe Maps and Apportionments. An Apportionment is the principal record of the commutation of tithes in a parish or area. Strictly speaking the apportionment and map together constitute a single document, but have been separated to facilitate use and storage. The standard form of an Apportionment contains columns for the name(s) of the landowners and occupier(s); the numbers, acreage, name or description, and state of cultivation of each tithe area; the amount of rent charge payable, and the name(s) of the tithe-owner(s). Tithe maps vary greatly in scale, accuracy and size. The initial intent was to produce maps of the highest possible quality, but the expense (incurred by the landowners) led to the provision that the accuracy of the maps would be testified to by the seal of the commissioners, and only maps of suitable quality would be so sealed. In the end, about one sixth of the maps had seals. A map was produced for each "tithe district", that is, one region in which tithes were paid as a unit. These were often distinct from parishes or townships. Areas in which tithes had already been commutated were not mapped, so that coverage varied widely from county to county.
