Preliminary discussions with the Care Commissioning Trust, NHS, Highways England, Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, Natural England and Historic England. Contact Officer: Peter Heath, Principal Planning Officer 01788 533735 [email protected] Public or Private: Public Report Subject to Call-In: Yes Report En-Bloc: No Forward Plan: No Corporate Priorities: This report relates to the following priority(ies): To provide excellent, value for money (CR) Corporate Resources services and sustainable growth (CH) Communities and Homes Achieve financial self-sufficiency by 2020 (EPR) Environment and Public Enable our residents to live healthy, Realm independent lives (GI) Growth and Investment Optimise income and identify new revenue opportunities (CR) Prioritise use of resources to meet changing customer needs and demands (CR) Ensure that the council works efficiently and effectively (CR) Ensure residents have a home that works for them and is affordable (CH) Deliver digitally-enabled services that residents can access (CH) Understand our communities and enable people to take an active part in them (CH) Enhance our local, open spaces to make them places where people want to be (EPR) Continue to improve the efficiency of our waste and recycling services (EPR) Protect the public (EPR) Promote sustainable growth and economic prosperity (GI) Promote and grow Rugby’s visitor economy with our partners (GI) Encourage healthy and active lifestyles to improve wellbeing within the borough (GI) This report does not specifically relate to any Council priorities but Statutory/Policy Background: Rugby Borough Council Local Plan 2011-2031 (adopted June 2019), contains Policies DS8 and DS9 which specifically relate to the need for a supplementary planning document to guide the development of this allocation at South West Rugby allocation and the associated spine road network. Summary: The report recommends that Cabinet approve taking the South West Rugby Supplementary Planning Document out to public consultation for a period of six weeks. Further, the report recommends that Cabinet give delegated authority to the Head of Growth and Investment to make any necessary amendments to the current draft of the South West Rugby Supplementary Planning Document (as appended to this report as Appendix 1) following completion of the viability testing work and the pre-consultation legal review of the South West Rugby Supplementary Planning Document. Publicly consulting on the South West Rugby Financial Implications: Supplementary Planning Document does not have any direct financial implications, beyond the costs associated with running the consultation 2 and dealing with the responses received. In line with the Council’s move towards digitalization, the consultation will be run electronically where possible which brings with it an additional cost saving. Following this consultation, the South West Rugby Supplementary Planning Document will be adopted and the Council will be able to ensure the comprehensive delivery of the South West Rugby allocation in line with the Rugby Borough Council Local Plan 2011-2031. This will lead to earlier delivery of homes across the allocation, earlier delivery of planning obligations (including on-site infrastructure and section 106 contributions) and ultimately earlier receipt of Council Tax payments from the new residents. Risk Management Implications: The SPD can only be used to help determine planning applications once it is adopted. Therefore undertaking public consultation sooner will enable the Council to adopt the SPD sooner to ensure that planning applications for the site, some of which are already being considered by officers, make the appropriate contributions to infrastructure. Environmental Implications: The South West Rugby Supplementary Planning Document sets out the requirements for open space and biodiversity enhancements required on-site. This includes protection for and on-going management of Cawston Spinney In addition, the South West Rugby Supplementary Planning Document includes provisions relating to a buffer between South West Rugby and Dunchurch A SEA Screening Opinion on the South West Rugby Supplementary Planning Document was undertaken in November ‘17 and concluded that a SEA was not required. Legal Implications: The South West Rugby Supplementary Planning Document was required by the local plan Inspector and is specifically referred to in Policies DS8 and DS9 of the Rugby Borough Council Local Plan 2011-2031 3 As set out in the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, any supplementary planning documents must be prepared in accordance with the Council’s local development scheme and the Council’s statement of community involvement. The Council's local development scheme was adopted in June 2019. The Council's statement of community involvement is due to be adopted at the end of September 2019. Unlike the local plan, supplementary planning documents are not subject to independent examination, however the adoption of a supplementary planning document may be open to judicial review if the preparation, consultation and adoption are not carried out properly Following the consultation, the Council can adopt the South West Rugby Supplementary Planning Document either as originally prepared or as modified to take account of any representations received or any other matter the Council considers relevant As per the statement of community involvement, the South West Rugby Supplementary Planning Document must be adopted by a resolution of full Council Equality and Diversity:

  • The Draycote Benefice Parish Profile
    THE DRAYCOTE BENEFICE The Parishes of Birdingbury, Bourton and Draycote, Frankton And Stretton on Dunsmore with Princethorpe PARISH PROFILE Page 1 of 20 BISHOP’S INTRODUCTION The Draycote benefice is a good example of how a rural, multi-parish benefice can thrive during an interregnum! They have built on good foundations and developed some excellent lay-led initiatives across the benefice which are already bearing good fruit. They are looking for a leadership style which seeks to train and empower them further. They have a heart for the gospel in a rural context and want to be missional, which is hugely encouraging. Indeed, they are not just planning to reach out to their communities in the future, they have already begun a number of missional activities and events. I have been impressed by the lay leadership I have seen in the Draycote group. The wardens and different parish churches work well together. They have tried hard to make this role do-able, and I believe it will be enjoyable and stimulating working with them. They are genuinely open to trying new things. The only significant contention I have picked up is about the location of the vicarage, which has now been approved by all the PCCs. Undoubtedly, finding a suitable vicarage within the benefice has been difficult. A suitable property has been found in a nearby village, but the time taken to purchase and refurbish this has resulted in a longer vacancy than they had originally anticipated, so there is now a feeling of becoming tired without dedicated spiritual leadership.

    Morning Calm House Bourton Lane | Birdingbury | Rugby | Warwickshire | CV23 9QP MORNING CALM HOUSE “We first viewed Morning Calm House around 20 years ago and we were immediately impressed by the superb design across 3 split levels. We still think that it’s a completely unique, one off family home,” say the current owners. Morning Calm House is a superbly appointed detached residence, styled with a mock-Tudor appearance. The property is a complete one-off architect designed triple split-level home, built by the renowned builders “Parker Lake Homes”. Throughout the property careful consideration has been given to provide an individual home with the architect saying “He walked the land before designing this innovative property”. This provides well-proportioned five bed roomed accommodation which has been elegantly appointed throughout with Ash doors and woodwork, decorative coving, dado rails, integrated sound system by AMI and a central Beam vacuum system. From the arched Oak double front doors the scene is set for the first class standard found within. Ground Floor Opening the oak double doors into the reception hall you are immediately impressed by the galleried landing, Amtico tiled flooring, decorative coving and picture rails. From the hall all the main reception rooms are accessed. The main room to the ground floor is undoubtedly the superb hand built German kitchen, with its Granite worktops, bespoke cupboards, built in rangemaster by Britannia and high end appliances. The split level open plan leads to the breakfast room which also has French doors leading to its own private garden area. From the kitchen there are double doors opening into the sitting room which in turn flows immediately into the formal dining room.
