  • Neighbourhood Plan Consultation Statement
    NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN CONSULTATION STATEMENT This note is the statement referred to on page 22 of the Consultation Statement which accompanied the Neighbourhood Plan submitted to North Somerset Council. It was prepared to assure the Parish Councils of Abbots Leigh and Pill and Easton-in-Gordano that the Consultation Statement was accurate in its response to comments from a respondent to the consultation. It does not form part of the Neighbourhood Plan Pill and Easton Parish Council Abbots Leigh Parish Council October 2020 The Abbots Leigh, Ham Green, Pill and Easton-in-Gordano Neighbourhood Plan Preparation and Process: Response to Local Consultation comments (page 22 of the Consultation Statement) 1 Background on the Community Land Trust and the Neighbourhood Plan. In early 2016 the Parish Councils of Abbots Leigh and Pill/Easton-in-Gordano set up two joint initiatives – a Community Land Trust (PDCLT) and a Neighbourhood Plan. Both initiatives were a response to housing challenges – the first an awareness of the lack of housing for local people in the area and the second the threat of major housing (1000 dwellings) either at Martcombe or at Chapel Pill (which lies within Abbots Leigh) or possibly both. PDCLT, supported by both parish councils, was initiated at an open meeting in May 2016 and became formally registered as an independent Community Benefit Society in August 2016. The possibility of conflicts of interest was discussed and all present declared no interest as landowner or having an option on land that might come forward for CLT homes. At a further open meeting (August 2016) a Board was elected with two Abbots Leigh parish councillors and two Pill/Easton Parish Council councillors.

  • At Abbots Leigh, Avon
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spflfawol. Sue.. 1991, 19 (I), 33-41 PRELIMINARY REPORT ON A RECENT COLLECTION OF STONE ARTEFACTS FROM THE MOO FOOT TERRACE1 AT ABBOTS LEIGH, AVON by B. HACK and A.P. CORNISH ABSTRACT Ficldwiilking has yielded a considerable collection of stone artefacts from Chapel Pill Farm, Abbots Leigh, a site previously described by L;icaille (1954). The collection appears to be derived wholly from locally available material (predominantly chert), and despite differential preservation (some pieces arc abraded while others arc fresh) appears not to be transported other than by solifluction. Unlike oilier collections containing Lower Palaeolithic artefacts, ;i very wide range of tools is present including burins, awls, scrapers, choppers, handaxes and hanimerslones. INTRODUCTION The occurrence of Lower Palaeolithic artefacts in the periglacially disturbed gravels of the lower reaches of the Bristol Avon has been recorded in three published papers. Davies and Fry (1929), Lacaille (1954) and Roe (1974). In a more widely ranging study (Roe. 1981) recorded prolific finds of Lower Palaeolithic artefacts from the lower reaches of the Bristol Avon, notably at Abbots Leigh. Attention was drawn to the quality of the raw material which was used, mainly poor quality chert, flint and a little quartz ite and indurated sandstone, which affected the industry, giving it a rough appearance and a bias towards small implements. Roe (1981) suggested that given better stone to work, Ihe industry at Abbots Leigh might well resemble that occurring in the middle gravels at Barnfteld Pit, Swanseombe, Kent (Wymer, 1964). In this paper we describe finds obtained in 199! after some 120 man-hours of fieldwork from a 15.4 hectare arable field at Chapel Pill Farm, Abbots Leigh, Avon (centred on NGR ST 543758).
