The latest piece of formal evidence conducted to underpin the identification of Sustainable Settlements was the ‘Report of Villages Surveys’ which was conducted in 2009. It is understood that a lot of change has taken place since this document was produced, and with the emerging Strategic Policies and Land Allocation DPD and review of the Development Management DPD, it is considered an appropriate time to undertake this review. The results of this assessment will thus be used to inform the Lancaster District Settlement Hierarchy. 1.2 Since the adoption of the Development Management DPD in December 2014, it is recognised that there has not been a significant change in national policy and guidance, however due to changes on a more local level, such as bus service provision, it is considered beneficial to undertake this fundamental review. As stated within the NPPF ‘plans and decisions need to take local circumstances into account, so that they respond to the different opportunities for achieving sustainable development in different areas’ (paragraph 10). The roles and functions of each settlement within the district is different and so this Review will seek to investigate the local circumstances of each one from a number of perspectives to enable the assessment of sustainability, which will ultimately be used to aid and underpin the emerging Local Plan. 1.3 The way in which the assessment is being carried out (the methodology) is also being reviewed as part of this process. This is due to the recognition of a number of changes which have taken place. Firstly, it is being increasingly recognised that accessibility is key to sustainability. Previously the assessment as to whether a settlement should be considered sustainable was based upon the provision of services and facilities within or adjacent to the settlement. However, there has been a noticeable decline in service provision within smaller rural settlements in the district, in particular in relation to bus services. Therefore it is considered important to assess accessibility and the provision of public transport in particular, but also cycling and walking routes. 1.4 It is also important to consider the role the economy plays and to understand the district housing market area. In October 2015 Turley Economics published the ‘Lancaster Independent Housing Requirements Study 2015’. This study considered the extent of the housing market area in which the Lancaster exists. A housing market area as defined by the National Planning Practice Guidance (paragraph 010) is ‘a geographical area defined by household demand and preferences for all types of housing, reflecting the key functional linkages between places where people live and work.’ The study found that the district overall serves as a self-contained housing market area where the majority of people looking to move will move from one home to another within the district. Important reasons for this include the wide choice of living environments that the district offers from urban locations to rural settlements and also the wide choice of housing on offer including smaller properties which may be considered more affordable at the entry level of the market up to larger properties at the highest end of the market. 1.5 The National Planning Policy Framework (paragraph 47) requires the Local Authority to plan to meet the housing needs of the district across the housing market area i.e. in the case of the Lancaster district, across the whole district. The Turley Report concluded that ‘the identified OAN (Objectively Assessed Need) range of 650 – 700 should be considered as 4 appropriate for the whole plan period 2011 to 2031 as reflecting the assessed total need for housing against which the emerging Plan should respond in its policy approach’. Over the plan period this equates to 13,000-14,000 new homes, across the whole district, subject to constraints such as protected landscapes. Therefore the Council needs to carefully consider the role each settlement has in addressing and thus contributing towards these district wide needs. 1.6 Changes in service provision affect where people choose to live, and this can have particular impacts in rural locations, for example an increase in older people and a decrease in younger people (including families) in a rural area may affect school numbers and viability and sometimes event result in school closures where there is insufficient demand for school places. Impacts on service provision such as this can influence where a family looking to move may choose to buy a new home. Cuts to public services including subsidies on bus services, libraries and health facilities have

  • The Stabbing of George Harry Storrs
    THE STABBING OF GEORGE HARRY STORRS JONATHAN GOODMAN $15.00 THE STABBING OF GEORGE HARRY STORRS BY JONATHAN GOODMAN OCTOBER OF 1910 WAS A VINTAGE MONTH FOR murder trials in England. On Saturday, the twenty-second, after a five-day trial at the Old Bailey in London, the expatriate American doctor Hawley Harvey Crippen was found guilty of poi­ soning his wife Cora, who was best known by her stage name of Belle Elmore. And on the following Monday, Mark Wilde entered the dock in Court Number One at Chester Castle to stand trial for the stabbing of George Harry Storrs. He was the second person to be tried for the murder—the first, Cornelius Howard, a cousin of the victim, having earlier been found not guilty. The "Gorse Hall mystery," as it became known from its mise-en-scene, the stately residence of the murdered man near the town of Stalybridge in Cheshire, was at that time almost twelve months old; and it had captured the imagination of the British public since the morning of November 2, 1909, when, according to one reporter, "the whole country was thrilled with the news of the outrage." Though Storrs, a wealthy mill-owner, had only a few weeks before erected a massive alarm bell on the roof of Gorse Hall after telling the police of an attempt on his life, it did not save him from being stabbed to death by a mysterious intruder. Storrs died of multiple wounds with­ out revealing anything about his attacker, though it was the impression of [Continued on back flap] THE STABBING OF GEORGE HARRY STORRS THE STABBING OF JONATHAN GOODMAN OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS COLUMBUS Copyright © 1983 by the Ohio State University Press All rights reserved.

Welcome to our Spring newsletter and to Butterfly Conservation’s 50th Anniversary. BC membership is now over 34,000 making it the largest and best supported butterfly conservation movement worldwide. If you have a friend who may wish to join contact Head Office at Manor Yard on 01929 400209 and ask if they have a free or half price membership offer available! I know they are doing their best to make new membership as inviting as possible and it would be a remarkable achievement to get close to 40,000 members by the end of this anniversary year. Recently I acquired some very early BC ‘Butterfly Magazines’....in those days little more than sheets of paper....for part one of an article on ‘The History of BC through its ‘Butterfly Magazine’ see later. I thought winter had finally past but as I write this on Easter Day another bout of snow is forecast for tomorrow. Most of our butterflies benefit from a cold and frosty Winter.....it may seem counter-intuitive but a ‘proper old-fashioned winter’ can reduce predation, rot, disease and fungal attack. However the ‘jury is out’ on this year as some of the butterflies that came out of hibernation in early March will have perished. Equally those that hibernated as caterpillars should now be eating causing delay, a mis-match in food availability and confusion with dates and timescales.
