  • Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership
    Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership ‘Call for Evidence’ Response to Gloucestershire’s Local Industrial Strategy Page 1 of 54 Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership Local Nature Partnerships (LNPs) were formed as part of the government’s 2011 white paper “The Natural Choice: Securing the value of nature”1. As part of a framework to strengthen local action to achieve the recovery of nature, LNPs were tasked to raise awareness about the vital services and benefits that a healthy natural environment brings for people, communities and the local economy. LNPs were to contribute to the green economy and complement Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), of which there is an expectation from government for LNPs and LEPs to form strong links that capture the value of nature. Here in Gloucestershire, the LNP is formed of over 30 organisations from public, private and third sector bodies from across the county, all working together as an informal partnership to recognise the importance of embedding nature's value in local decisions for the benefit of the nature, people and the economy. The GLNP Mission is to champion the essential role of Gloucestershire’s natural environment in sustaining a vibrant, healthy, prosperous economy and society. With a Vision of a healthy and valued natural environment, sustaining the economy and wellbeing of Gloucestershire. Our partnership provides a strong and innovative voice for the environment sector and is seen as a key partner in helping deliver the Gloucestershire County Council’s Strategy 2019-20222. We benefit from a solid working relationship with GFirst LEP, as well as all the District Councils.

The entry for Dursley and Berkeley is found on pages 105-116. This transcription was carried out by Andrew Barton of Dursley in 2005. All punctuation and spelling of the original is retained. In addition the basic layout of the original work has been kept, although page breaks are likely to have fallen in different places.

  • Stroud Labour Party
    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.

[email protected] www.fordhamresearch.com Foreword FOREWORD Structure and nature of the report This (Strategic Housing Market Assessment) SHMA report is divided into sections. The logic for the sections derives from the Brief for the work, Government Guidance and the need for a logical explanation of the work. An additional section is also included detailing updated information that has become available as the result of further result commissioned since the original SHMA report was produced. At the start of each section the chapter titles and short summary of content are listed, in order to assist the reader to gain a brief overview of the detailed contents. A more substantial overview is provided in the Executive Summary. A considerable part of this report is devoted to following the many stages of the department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) Practice Guidance (March and August 2007) whose stages are labelled throughout the relevant chapters. Since the stages/steps of the Guidance are not numbered sequentially in each chapter of the Guidance, we have added a chapter number identifier (so Step 5.1 becomes 5.5.1 if Guidance Chapter 5 is involved). The next page of this report provides a summary list of the chapters. Detailed contents of each chapter are presented after the Glossary, at the end of the report. These can be used as an index when seeking further information on a given topic.

    Whitminster Parish Council Technical Response to Stroud District Council’s Local Plan Review Draft Plan Additional Housing Options Consultation OBJECTION ON HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORT ISSUES TO PROPOSED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ALLOCATION REFERENCE WHI014 AT GROVE END FARM GROVE LANE WHITMINSTER Technical Report 29633/2A January 2021 Whitminster Parish Council Technical Response to Stroud District Council’s Local Plan Review Draft Plan Additional Housing Options Consultation Objection on Highways and Transport Issues to Proposed Mixed Use Development Allocation Reference WHI014 at Grove End Farm Grove Lane Whitminster Introduction 1. This technical report has been prepared on behalf of Whitminster Parish Council (the Parish Council) in respect of the “Stroud District Local Plan Review Draft Plan, Additional Housing Options” dated October 2020. 2. The main settlement of Whitminster Parish lies off the A38 on the western side of the A38 with the crossroads with Grove End Lane being the existing main focus for the services for the village. The proposed allocation would be a significant “bolt onto” the settlement that would shift the centre of the enlarged community much further to the east. 3. A detailed set of reports including this report, which considers highways and transport issues, have been commissioned by the Parish Council in response to Stroud District Council’s (the Council’s) Draft Local Plan Additional Housing Options public consultation process. A Planning Assessment has been prepared by MSP Town Planning and Architecture, and that has been separately submitted. 4. The reports are in respect of a proposed mixed use development allocation at Grove End Farm, Grove Lane, Whitminster.
