PROPOSED SITE OPERATIONS 1.1. Planning consent for the landfill site at Storefield Lodge, Rushton was originally granted in 1989. In 2008 Mick George Ltd (MGL) acquired an interest in the site and in November 2008 was granted consent to establish a building to undertake waste recycling operations undercover on the site (Consent No 08/00069/WAS). 1.2. Subsequent planning consents have been granted on the site the last being for a northern extension to the landfill facility being granted in November 2011 (Consent No 11/00046/WAS). 1.3. It is now proposed to extend the existing Waste Reception Building close to the site access in a northern direction, to the same height and design (including colour and cladding) as the existing building (c. 10m high to the eaves and c. 12m high to the ridgeline), in order to expand the current waste pre-treatment and sorting operations to meet demand and aid efficiency of operations. A second weighbridge will also be established for greater efficiency of site operations and a new wheel bath facility included.

Adrian R Bell, Chris Brooks and Paul Dryburgh* Abstract It has long been known that English Cistercian monasteries often sold their wool in advance to foreign merchants in the late thirteenth century. The abbey of Pipewell in Northamptonshire features in a number of such contracts with Cahorsin merchants. This paper looks again at these contracts in the context of over 200 other such agreements found in the governmental records. Why did Pipewell descend into penury over this fifty year period? This case study demonstrates that the promise of ready cash for their most valuable commodity led such abbots to make ambitious agreements – taking on yet more debt to service existing creditors - that would lead to their eventual bankruptcy. * Dr Adrian R Bell, ICMA Centre, The University of Reading, Whiteknights, Reading, RG6 6BA email: [email protected] (address for correspondence); Professor Chris Brooks, CASS Business School; Dr Paul Dryburgh, Kings College London.

    Special Development Control Committee 26 September 2019 Application for Planning Permission 17/00180/OUT Outline application for a sustainable urban extension comprising of 4,500 dwellings, 46,850sqm of Class B1/B2, two local centres/mixed use A1-A5, B1, C2, C3 and D1/D2, secondary schools, primary schools, public open space, drainage, access and associated infrastructure works. Demolition of existing buildings AT West Corby Urban Extension, Uppingham Road, Corby 1. Site Surroundings: 1.1. The site is located to the West of the existing town of Corby, separated from it by the A6003 (Uppingham Road), in Northamptonshire. It sits to the south of the villages of East Carlton, Middleton and Cottingham and to the Northeast of the village of Pipewell. 1.2. The site is used for agricultural purposes, with a small number of structures focussed around the northern section. It is therefore largely greenfield with a small number of farm buildings constituting brownfield development. Sitting outside the existing settlement boundary for Corby, it is open countryside. The quality of the agricultural land is low-medium, as discussed in greater detail within Section 7 of this report. 1.3. The site is served by the A6003 (which runs North-South to the East) and by the A427 (which runs West-East to the North). These routes enable easy access onto the strategic highway network via the A43/A14 and A6 respectively. The existing town of Corby, it’s town centre, health care facilities, general public amenities and train station sit to the East. 1.4. The topography of the land is characterised by undulating levels – there are three ridge lines and two gullies within the site – each of which run in a broad east-west location.
