To assist in this process, ‘comprehensive, relevant and up-to-date monitoring is essential to the effective planning and management of town centres’ and it should be regularly updated. The Basildon District Retail and Leisure Monitoring Report 2006 contains information intended to achieve the above, and, in addition, includes data relating to a wide range of topics across the retail hierarchy Council relevant to developers, retail operators, investors and the general public. 1.2 The 2006 Report is divided into two sections, which separately deal with Retail and Leisure: District Retail Retail Policy background Basildon Comparison to other town centres, at a sub-regional level and in comparison to other New Towns © Profiles of Basildon, Billericay, Wickford, Pitsea and Laindon Town Centres 2006 Profiles of District Local Centres and Independent convenience retailers Retail Warehousing Foodstores Report Leisure Leisure Policy Background Leisure Operators Audit in the District Monitoring 1.3 Appendices set out the Schedules of Retail Operators for each town centre, an assessment of non-A1 uses in Basildon, Billericay and Wickford, Schedule of Local Centres and Leisure facilities. A glossary, list of Leisure local agents and related information are also provided. and 1.4 The Retail and Leisure Operators survey was conducted in July 2006 and, as such, can only offer a "snapshot" of uses at that time. Retail units undergoing construction or being fitted-out at the time of survey Retail have been recorded as vacant within the schedules as the operator and type of unit were unknown. 1.5 The floorspace figures used in this survey are in Gross Square Metres, and therefore include storage and other non-retail or leisure related floor space. The measurements are taken from a GIS system, and accordingly, may vary from those commercially available. This measurement approach is consistent with all units and previous surveys. Where mezzanine floors have been accounted for, unless planning records providing accurate measurements exist, an estimation of the additional floorspace over and above original retail floorspace has been provided. oduction ntr I 1 © Basildon District Council Retail and Leisure Monitoring Report 2006 6 Policy Background 7 2 Policy Background 2 National Planning Policy Statement 6 (PPS6) Council 2.1 Government advice on retailing is set out in Planning Policy Statement 6 (PPS6) - Planning for Town Centres, published in 2005. PPS6 recognises the importance of: District Planning for the growth and development of existing centres Promoting and enhancing existing centres, by focusing development in such centres and encouraging a wide range of services, in a good environment, accessible to all Basildon Enhancing consumer choice by making provision for a range of shopping, leisure and local services, © which allow genuine choice to meet the needs of the entire community, and particularly, socially-excluded groups 2006 Supporting efficient, competitive and innovative retail, leisure, tourism and other sectors, with improved productivity Improving accessibility, ensuring that existing or new development is, or will be, accessible and Report well-served by a choice of modes of transport Appropriate Development in Town Centres 2.2 PPS6 (paragraphs 1.8 and 1.9) sets out a range of uses considered acceptable in town centres: Monitoring Retail (including warehouse clubs and factory outlet centres) Leisure and Entertainment facilities, and the more intensive sport and recreation uses (including Leisure cinemas, restaurants, drive-through restaurants, bars and pubs, nightclubs, casinos, health and fitness and centres, indoor bowling centres and bingo halls) Offices, both commercial and those of public bodies Arts, culture and tourism facilities (including theatres, museums, galleries and concert halls, hotels Retail and conference facilities). Housing will also be an important element in most mixed-use, multi-storey developments The Sequential Test Approach 2.3 PPS6 advises Local Planning Authorities to apply a sequential test when determining the location of new retail development. New retail development should be considered in the following order of priority: Priority Location First Town Centres Second Edge-of-Town Centres (i.e. within 300 metres of a town centre) Third District Centres Fourth Local Centres Fifth Out-of-Centre sites, where accessible by a choice of means of transport Table 2.1 The Sequential Test 8 Policy Background Sustainable Communities Plan 2 2.4 In February 2003 the Government launched its Sustainable Communities Plan, which seeks to create sustainable communities, particularly within defined Growth Areas, like the Thames Gateway. The © Government sets out in the Plan, the key requirements of a sustainable community, which include: Basildon a flourishing local economy effective participation in the planning process District safe and healthy environment with well designed open spaces good public transport; buildings that can meet different needs over time a sense of place and a good mix of uses and tenures Council Town centres and the planning approach for retail-related developments have a critical role to play in helping to achieve sustainable communities. Retail Regional and Regional Planning Policy Leisure 2.5 Regional Planning Policy is a major consideration in setting local planning and economic development policies. In terms of approved regional policy, Basildon District is included within Regional Planning Guidance 9 for the South East (RPG9)), published by the Government in March 2001. RPG9 confirms Basildon New Monitoring Town's inclusion within the Thames Gateway and supports urban renaissance through the regeneration of town centres and central urban areas. Draft Regional Spatial Strategy for the East of England Report 2.6 The draft East of England of Plan (2004) (revision to the Regional Spatial Strategy) will replace RPG9 as the regional planning policy for the Basildon District. The draft RSS has been prepared by the East of 2006 England Regional Assembly (EERA) on behalf of the Secretary of State. The Examination in Public (EiP) into the draft RSS was heard between November 2005 and March 2006 before an independent Panel. On 21st June 2006, the

    Welcome to St Martin of Tours Basildon Parish Profile 2019 www.stmartinsbasildon.co.uk Contents 1. Basildon and Our Church at Present 3. What are we looking for in a new Priest? 5. What can we offer? 8. The Wider Context 9. Finance 10. The Rectory 11. Basildon 12. Conclusion Basildon and Our Church at Present Basildon is situated in South Essex, positioned between the A13 and the A127. It was one of the many New Towns that were developed following the New Towns Act of 1946. London, which had been badly damaged throughout the Second World War, was overcrowded and housing was largely very poor. ‘New Towns’ were the Labour Governments answer to the problem. This year we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the start of the work in the building of Basildon. St Martins stands in the centre of the town, adjacent to St Martins Bell Tower, built in the millennium, the first steel and glass Bell Tower in the world, and the Civic Centre, housing the secular aspect of Basildon. From the outside the building is not particularly impressive but step through the door and stand at the back, looking towards the altar, and the magnificence of this house of God really hits you. On the far east wall hangs a very large cross and when the lights are on, the shadow from the cross depicts three crosses on the wall; just as they stood together at Calvary, at the crucifixion. The Sanctuary, chancel steps and centre aisle are carpeted. But what now really strikes the on-lookers’ eyes are the breath-taking modern stained-glass windows on the south and north sides of the church, almost ceiling to floor.

  • How to Open a LOCAL Food Shop
    A GUIDE HOW TO OPEN A LOCAL FOOD SHOP 1 2 3 A GUIDE HOW TO OPEN A LOCAL FOOD SHOP INTRODUCTION This publication is intended to demonstrate how a range of different people set up their food retail businesses and to highlight some of the lessons that can be learned from their experiences. You may have some ambition to set up a food shop yourself and thus be interested in how you might do it. For some of you, it may be a burning ambition that you feel you must put into practice, or it might just be a vague interest that could happen if you win the National Lottery but in reality is unlikely to go further. This booklet is intended to help all of you, whatever your level of interest. Throughout this guide are case studies, which cover a range of different retailers. We can only give you a broad flavour as to how these individuals set up their businesses and there are hundreds of other cases that would be equally fascinating to examine. You will see that there is a lot of common ground between those we have chosen. In particular, you will notice that although we were looking primarily for companies selling fresh foods, several of them in fact also have cafés as an important part of their offer. Subsequent sections in this booklet try to draw out the common lessons, to provide you with a more structured toolkit on how to do it, should you decide to follow their lead. By reading this booklet, we hope you can decide whether running this type of business really is the way you want your future to be.

Telephone: 01744- 676770 email generallicensing@sthelens.gov.uk To view the Council’s Public Register of Licences issued pursuant to the Licensing Act 2003 please visit:- https://licensing.sthelens.gov.uk/PAforLalpacLIVE/1/WcaHome APPLICATIONS RESOLVED ARE SHOWN IN BLUE Licensing Act 2003 – dealing with representations St Helens Council as licensing authority must examine all representations submitted to establish whether they are valid and relevant to the application. Only representations which relate to the likely effect of the granting of the licensing on one or more of the licensing objectives can be considered. The four objectives are;- The prevention of crime and disorder Public safety Prevention of public nuisance The protection of children from harm Each objective is of equal importance. Some examples of issues which may be raised but which are outside the scope for consideration are:- Representation which are frivolous or vexatious Made by persons who do not reside or have businesses in the vicinity of the premises and are not likely to be directly affected by the grant of the licence Commercial considerations or demand Matters which duplicate or relate to other legislation e.g. fire precautions, restrictions on a planning permission. Matters which are outside the control of the applicant e.g. on street parking, traffic, general anti social behaviour. Speculation about the effects of the licence being granted The legislation/guidance states that shops, stores and supermarkets should normally be free to provide sales of alcohol for consumption off the premises at any times when the retail outlet is open for shopping unless there are good reasons, based on the licensing objectives for restricting those hours.
