  • Rural Settlement List 2014
    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.

The only buildings here now are a farm and a house. It is not known Many listed buildings can be admired from Church Green above. why Arlescott became deserted. Although some villages were abandoned after their You can see Priory Tower, part of a C13th gatehouse, and a row of C16th cottages in Bull Ring below populations died out after the Black Death, there is no documentary evidence as to it being emptied by plague or any other cause. However, the ending the open field strip system of farming caused many to leave the old medieval villages to move to growing nearby towns, in this case possibly from Arlescott to Broseley. This change began in the C15th and C16th when giving land over to sheep and wool became more profitable than growing grain and vegetables, so less people were needed on the land. This change of land use by landowners resulted in hundreds of villages becoming deserted. It was reinforced and accelerated in the C17th and C18th by Parliamentary Enclosure Acts, when the common land villagers needed, to supplement their wages by keeping Raynald's Mansion early a few animals and growing some food, was taken over by large landowners.
