  • Dear Sir/Madam, Thank You for the Opportunity to Comment on the Barrowden and Wakerley Pre-Submission Neighbourhood Plan Consultation
    From: Patience Stewart [email protected] Subject: Barrowden and Wakerley Pre-submission Neighbourhood Plan Date: 18 May 2018 at 10:25 To: [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Barrowden and Wakerley Pre-submission Neighbourhood Plan consultation. The following comments are submitted on behalf of Anglian Water. Anglian Water is sewerage undertaker for Barrowden Parish and the water and sewerage undertaker for Wakereley Parish. The views of Severn Trent Water who are responsible for water services in Barrowden Parish should also be sought on the Neighbourhood Plan. I would be grateful if you could confirm receipt of this response. Policy BW8: Surface water flooding Reference is made to developments incorporating Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) wherever practicable and that SuDS should be incorporated into the design of new developments. Anglian Water support the requirement for applicants to include the provision of SuDS so as not to increase flood risk and to reduce flood risk where possible. The use of SuDS would help to reduce the risk of surface water and sewer flooding. Policy BW8 could be strengthened making it clear that SuDs will be the preferred method of surface water disposal unless shown to be technically unfeasible. It is therefore suggested Policy BW8 be amended as follows: ‘Wherever practicable, proposals should incorporate sustainable drainage systems to manage surface water drainage unless it can be demonstrated that they are not financially or technically viable.’ Sewage (page 36) Reference is made to comments previously made by Anglian Water relating to the capacity of the existing foul sewerage network and Barrowden Water Recycling Centre.

  • Victorian Miracle Trail in Uppingham Where the Famous School Is an Outstanding Example of Victorian Educational Achievement
    The Victorians were miracle workers. They fused Science and Industry together to produce architectural and engineering miracles which we still see in today’s landscape – bridges, viaducts, massive railway stations, an all pervasive rail network, sewage systems, town halls full of integrity as well as dark satanic mills. Despite Rutland being the smallest county in England, it did not escape from the Victorian advancements in transport; this little shire seems able to produce at least one of everything! In this Instance it is the Seaton – Harringworth Viaduct, in the Welland Valley, which is our Victorian miracle. Start your Victorian Miracle Trail in Uppingham where the famous school is an outstanding example of Victorian educational achievement. Head east to Glaston to see the fine flaggy walls with their profuse vegetation everywhere in the village. Leave its raw edges along the A47 and park neat St Andrew’s. Take the tiny path through the churchyard to see the unusual pyramidal spire of the 13th century and the even earlier tower. The Old Rectory lies near the church. Re-built in brick, 1861-62, it is supposed to incorporate a 17th century ironstone house within its construction. Leave by the Lych-gate on foot, turning left onto Orchard Close, then left again on Spring Lane to see the Ancient Pond. Wander down Manor Lane where there are sev- eral remarkable old houses with mullioned windows, one dated 1696. The village almost stands on top of the 1846 yard long tunnel of the former L.M.S Kettering to Manton Line, a major engineering feat using 16 million ordinary bricks and 4 ½ million Staffordshire Blue bricks, and built between 1875-80.
