  • North Northamptonshire Joint Planning Unit Green Infrastructure
    North Northamptonshire Joint Planning Unit Green Infrastructure Delivery Plan Habitat Regulations Assessment Appropriate Assessment Screening Final May 2014 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background The North Northamptonshire Joint Planning Unit (NNJPU) brought together a range of key stakeholders with the aim of encapsulating all existing and proposed elements of green infrastructure in the North Northamptonshire area, and producing a comprehensive document to guide and outline how it will be delivered. The resulting document, The North Northamptonshire Green Infrastructure Delivery Plan (NNGIDP), will provide a robust evidence base for both the current and review of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy, and will ensure the delivery of appropriate green infrastructure alongside the growth required to achieve economic prosperity. 1.2 The Habitats Directive The UK is bound by the terms of the EC Birds and Habitats Directives, and the provisions of the directives have been transposed into national law through the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (the Habitats Regulations). Under the Regulations, it is a requirement that proposed plans or projects that are not directly linked to the management of a European site, but which may have a likely significant effect upon the site must be subject to an assessment of the impact (Appropriate Assessment). Sites collectively known as European sites include Special Protection Areas (SPA), candidate Special Areas of Conservation (cSAC) and Special Areas of Conservation (SAC). As a matter of policy, the Government has also chosen to apply the above requirements in respect of potential Special Protection Areas (pSPA) and Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar sites) even though these are not European sites as a matter of law.

It is intended to provide you with a brief overview of our location, day-to-day life within our small group of rural parishes and how we currently go about delivering the Gospel, along with our future aspirations. It is by no means exhaustive, but will, hopefully, contain enough information to inspire you to want to learn more. At the end of this document you will find contact details for both further enquiry and how to apply. Thank you for your interest. 3 Introduction The Benefice of Cranford, Grafton Underwood and Twywell in Northamptonshire was served by the Rector, the Revd Daniel Foot, for 35 years until his retirement at the end of September 2018. Slipton was informally added to this group in 1995. This document has been prepared to acquaint a potential successor with information concerning the four parish group. Although, since the inclusion of Slipton, now not wholly a formal Benefice, we regard ourselves as one.

  • Together Apr-May 2020 Copy
    To g et h e r Parish news for the united benefice of Cranford, Grafton Underwood, Twywell and Slipton April - May 2020 Lete … Dear friends, As this letter is penned Daniel and his family are settling into their new home. We are sure that everyone in the four villages that make up our united benefice wish them a continued, wonderful, peaceful and happy retirement. The world is entering an uncertain time, whether that be the Coronavirus outbreak, faith persecution or political division, in our country and across the globe. As Christians we pray for peace, understanding and truth. Whatever our future is, we hold to our faith for strength. On a lighter note we are now into the magical season of spring. No other season in rural communities allows us to witness the miracle of birth and new growth so visibly. It is hard to put into words this beauty so we end with a couple of verses from Chapter 2 of Song of Songs that puts it better than we ever could. “See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.” Best Wishes Twywell PCC Cover photograph by Keith Sawford ~ Ascension Window, Twywell Church Important Notice For more information about people who can help, please contact Jenny Potter on 01536 330696 or email [email protected] Together is distributed to every household in the four parishes.

  • Wildlife Site Survey for North Northamptonshire
    Wildlife Site Survey for North Northamptonshire Prepared by The Wildlife Trust BCNP December 2006 1 1. Executive Summary. The Wildlife Trust for Northamptonshire has been commissioned by North Northamptonshire JPU to review and update the County Wildlife Sites (CWS) schedule within the Authority Areas of Kettering, Wellingborough, Corby and East Northamptonshire in order to guide development proposals within the area and inform the production of the Local Development Framework. The current work has re-assessed all CWS and also a number of PWS within North Northants but outside of the Rockingham Forest area during the summers of 2005 and 2006. All CWS and PWS that matched or exceeded the revised criteria, and all CWS within the Rockingham Forest area (surveyed in the last 5 years) were included on the current County Wildlife Site register. 123 CWS covering 1757 ha were assessed and a total of 380 CWS now occur within North Northamptonshire and cover an area of 7761ha. It is therefore recommended that all CWS identified on the Mapinfo layer are included on the appropriate constraint maps in the Local Development Frameworks. 62 PWS covering 1214.6ha were assessed and over 400 sites are now highlighted as Potential Wildlife Sites in North Northants. We recommend that these sites highlighted as Potential Wildlife Sites (both red and blue boundaries) are included in the appropriate constraints map and recognised as opportunities for the delivery of Green Infrastructure and Biodiversity Action Plan targets. In total 52 CWS (398ha) were denotified to PWS. 37 of these were denotified due to lack of up- to-date survey information.
