A planning application is being submitted for the development of temporary accommodation for the proposed School. This STP is being produced alongside a Transport Assessment (TA) to support the application. Whilst the design and construction of permanent facilities for the new School is undertaken, the temporary facilities will provide accommodation for three years to allow the School to open. The School will open in September 2016, and will continue to operate for three academic years (2016/2017, 2017/2018 and 2018/ 2019) in temporary accommodation. By the time the School is fully occupied in temporary accommodation (2018/2019 School Year), 180 primary and 360 secondary school places will be offered and it is envisaged that the School will be attended by a total of 540 pupils. Initially in September 2016, 60 primary school and 120 secondary school places will be offered. In the long term, the permanent facilities for the School will be designed to accommodate a total of 1,260 pupils and the School will operate as a 2FE Primary School (420 pupils), 4FE Secondary School (600 pupils) and sixth form (240 pupils). It is envisaged that the School will decant from temporary accommodation prior to the 2019/2020 School Year. During the period that the School is in temporary accommodation, the Police HQ will be vacated on a gradual basis in order to make way for the construction of the permanent School. The phasing of the relocation of the Police is subject to ongoing negotiation. This STP will remain in force permanently and will be updated regularly. It will be implemented by the School once they have opened in their temporary accommodation. It is envisaged that it will be secured via planning condition. Objectives The objectives of this STP are as follows: i. To raise awareness of the accessibility of the School by non-car modes, encourage use of these modes rather than the car and promote this to the School Community; ii. To raise awareness regarding local road conditions and road safety amongst the School Community; and Wootton Hall Park 5217/011/R02A School Travel Plan Page 1 Rail Buildings Infrastructure Transport & Environment iii. To manage the demand for car travel, and ensure drop-off and collection takes place without impact on other road users. Report Structure Following the introduction the remainder of this report is structured as follows: i. The key site details are provided in Section 2.0; ii. A review of the site location and accessibility, including accessibility by non-car modes in Section 3.0; iii. An appraisal of the development proposals in transport terms including site layout and access arrangements in Section 4.0; iv. The predicted mode share and trip generation of the pupils and staff of the new School are outlined in Section 5.0; v. The STP consultation process is reviewed and examples of future consultations are provided in Section 6.0; vi. The predicted transport problems and issues of the new School are detailed in Section 7.0; vii. The target mode shares which the new School will seek to achieve over a period of 5 years, with intermediate 3 year targets are provided in Section 8.0; viii. The STP measures and initiatives which will be implemented in order to achieve the mode share targets are outlined in Section 9.0; ix. A strategy to implement, monitor and review the STP and its measures are detailed in Section 10.0; and x. Section 11.0 contains the School Sign-Off page which demonstrates the School’s commitment to implementing the STP.

  • Neighbourhood Plan, Following Earlier Input from Local People, Businesses and Other Organisations Which Have Shaped It
    Made Version December 2015 Foreword This is the final Made Version of the Duston Neighbourhood Plan, following earlier input from local people, businesses and other organisations which have shaped it. This version contains a summary of the evidence base, the Vision & Objectives, Planning Policies and other Community Proposals and details on implementation. Several background and evidence documents are also available: - The Consultation Statement: This describes how local people, businesses and other bodies have been consulted on the Plan and comments, which have been made. - The Basic Conditions Statement: This explains how the Plan meets legal requirements and it also includes the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) screening. In addition, the Issues & Options Report & Parish Profile, the Policy Context, Townscape Study, reports on open space and employment are available on request as separate documents. For those who want to know a little more about the Made Plan and how it fits into the planning system, the following summary may be helpful. Neighbourhood Plans are part of the new planning system, which was introduced by the Government under the Localism initiative. This was to give people a greater say about the location and scale of development in the area and to help to protect valued landscape and community assets. They can establish general planning policies for the development and use of land. The Neighbourhood Plan forms part of the Local Development Plan for the local authority and will be used to consider planning applications. The Made Plan can influence the choice of sites and the design and layout of new housing; Neighbourhood Plans cannot propose less development than in the approved Local Plan and must reflect national planning guidance.

  • Joint Core Strategy Local Plan (Part 1)
    West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy Local Plan (Part 1) Adopted - December 2014 West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy Local Plan (Part 1) Adopted DEC 2014 1.0 Foreword The importance of "Strategic Planning" which shapes and makes the places in which people live, work and play cannot be overstated. The alternative would, in all likelihood, result in an uncoordinated approach through speculative developer-led planning and related applications. This West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy Local Plan is a key document in ensuring places are shaped and made in a way which meets the needs of the people of today whilst ensuring the needs of future generations are safeguarded. This Local Plan forms Part 1 of the suite of Local Plans in West Northamptonshire that will, together, guide the evolution of Northampton, Daventry and South Northamptonshire in the years that lie ahead. It provides a long-term vision for the area with an overall framework in which more detailed plans will be drawn up and decisions made. It contains a broad planning strategy aimed at meeting that vision, and contains core strategic policies, which the Partner Councils - Daventry District, Northampton Borough, South Northamptonshire and Northamptonshire County Councils - believe will provide sound guidance in the years ahead. This Joint Core Strategy provides a strategic framework to guide the preparation of Part 2 Local Plans which will provide more detailed planning policies and site allocations for each of the partner Borough and District Councils. The whole community has had a real opportunity to positively and collectively influence and improve the way we do things in the future - in the way we use land, we build, and how we shape our environment.

CHARLES MARKHAM, P R E F A C E. ———— HIS history of an English family — which for nearly four T centuries has been " happy, in that they were not over happy ; on fortune's cap they were not the very button, nor the soles of her shoes" — was undertaken by me at the request of some members of the family. It has formed my " leisure's labour" for several years, and has now been brought to an end — I wish I could add completed. But I would say, with our great lexicographer, that, "in this work, when it shall be found that much is omitted, let it not be forgotten that much likewise is performed." Such as it is, this work has given me pleasure to do ; for, as the prophet of the age very truly says in Modern Painters, that " next to the Gods man was always anxious to know something about his ancestors ; fond of exalting the memory, and telling or painting the history of old rulers and benefactors ; yet full of an enthusiastic confidence in himself, as having in many ways advanced beyond the best efforts of past time ; and eager to record his own doings for future fame."
