Diseworth Conservation Area Appraisal and Study DISEWORTH CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL AND STUDY APRIL 2001 PREFACE The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 requires that Conservation Areas are kept under review (Section 69(2)) and that local planning authorities in exercising their planning powers, pay special attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of Conservation Areas (Section 72). Having regard to these requirements and the advice contained in the English Heritage guidance notes 'Conservation Area Practice' and 'Conservation Area Appraisals', the District Council produced a draft Appraisal/Study of the Diseworth Conservation Area in April 2000. The draft document included proposed alterations to the boundaries of the designated Conservation Area (of February 1974). The draft document was the subject of consultation and publicity over a six week period between 17 April and 29 May 2000. Having considered the various representations and recommended amendments the District Council's Executive Board of 3 April 2001 resolved the following :- (1) to approve alterations to the boundaries of the Conservation Area as outlined in the Executive Board report. (2) that subject to the amendments outlined in the Executive Board Report the Conservation Area Appraisal/Study document be adopted as supplementary planning guidance to the policies of the North West Leicestershire Local Plan. As supplementary planning guidance the Conservation Area Appraisal/Study document whilst not having the same status as an adopted plan policy may be taken into account as a material consideration in the determination of planning applications.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Conservation Areas are defined as “areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character and appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance“ (Section 69(1)(a); Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990). The Diseworth Conservation Area was originally designated by the former Leicestershire County Council in February 1974, at which time the village was within the administrative area of Castle Donington Rural District Council. The village was incorporated within the District of North West Leicestershire in April 1974. In April 2001 the Conservation Area boundaries were revised by the District Council and the existing designated boundaries of the Area are shown on Map 1. 1.2 This Conservation Area Appraisal/Study document aims to fulfil two key roles. The Appraisal outlines the historical development of the settlement and defines the special interest, character and appearance of the built and natural environment within and surrounding the Conservation Area boundaries. The Study identifies future opportunities for the preservation and enhancement of the Area. (The numbers in bold in paragraphs refer to an associated photograph/plate). 1.3 The Diseworth Village Design Statement prepared by local residents will also be a material consideration in the determination of any future development proposals. The Design Statement was adopted by the District Council's Executive Board as supplementary planning guidance to the policies of the Local Plan on 3 April 2000. The Statement covers issues affecting the whole village as well as those directly relating to the Conservation Area. Copies of the Design Statement are available from the Planning and Environment Division. 1 2. LOCATION, POPULATION AND TOPOGRAPHY OF DISEWORTH 2.1 Diseworth, a village of some 671 residents*, is located 14 km to the north-west of Loughborough and 2.5 km to the south-east of Castle Donington. The settlement is within the Parish of Long Whatton and Diseworth. 2.2 Diseworth lies within an undulating agricultural landscape and occupies a shallow valley created by the Diseworth Brook as it flows eastwards before becoming Long Whatton Brook and proceeding to its confluence with the River Soar. The soil, although a heavy red clay, is fertile and sustains arable as well as pastoral farming. 2.3 In the second half of the twentieth century East Midlands Airport was developed less than one kilometre to the north of the village and the M1 motorway constructed some 1.5 km to the east. These developments and their associated facilities have had a significant impact on the surrounding landscape and have altered the pattern of the local road network. The Airport severed the former link northwards from Grimes Gate in the village towards Castle Donington, Hemington and Lockington. 2.4 The four principal streets of the village - Grimes Gate, Hall Gate, Clements Gate and Lady Gate - meet at ‘The Cross’; a staggered crossroads close to the Church of St Michael’s and All Angels. Page Lane runs parallel to Lady Gate. The Green running along the southern edge of the settlement gives access into Hall Gate - via The Bowley - and into Lady Gate. Diseworth Brook flows to the south of Hall Gate and is joined by tributaries to the east of Shakespear Close and near Town End. * Mid-1998 Estimate - Source : Leicestershire County Council 2 3. ORIGINS AND HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF DISEWORTH 3.1 Diseworth had been established by the sixth century and the cross shaped pattern of the principal streets had been formed by the end of the tenth century (DLHS,1996, p6). The Church of St Michael’s and All Angels, with sections of eleventh century built fabric in evidence, is the oldest surviving building in the village (1). The earliest secular buildings are of the late medieval period. The grouping of farmhouses, their outbuildings and tied cottages in the core is a typical pattern in settlements established before the Parliamentary Enclosures of the Georgian/Victorian period. In some parishes enclosure led to the dispersal of farmsteads into the surrounding countryside, however, following the Diseworth Enclosure of 1794, the majority of farmsteads remained within the village. 3.2 The ownership of farmhouses and their associated land within Diseworth was dominated from the beginning of the sixteenth century into the twentieth century by two outside bodies; Christ College, Cambridge and the owners of the former Langley Priory estates (Brompton and Hening, 2000, pp1-4). 3.3 To support the agricultural economy, wheelwrights and blacksmiths operated in the village (White, 1846, p336) and a former smithy building remains along the Hall Gate frontage of Lilly’s Cottage (2). Shops were also established, although the only shop that now remains in the settlement is the Village Store/Post Office constructed after the Second World War on Hall Gate. The former shop and bakery at No. 4 Grimes Gate is now in solely residential use. The shop window in the nineteenth century brick built extension to the dwelling at No. 50 Hall Gate belies its former use.

These are as follows: PART 1: Document Introduction and Main areas of Concern PART 2: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Community Areas LA03, LA04 and LA05 PART 3: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Route-wide Effects PART 4: Response to WDES Vol 3 – Off-route Effects PART 5: Appendices For any enquires about this response, please contact: [email protected] 1 | Page PART 1: Document Introduction and Maim areas of Concern i) This document and its appendices comprise Leicestershire County Council’s (the Council’s) response to the Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) for HS2 Phase 2b (the proposed scheme). We issue this response in the spirit of contributing to the processes surrounding this vast infrastructure project, but must include the caveat that the Council can only respond to the material to hand and further intensive work with HS2 Ltd is required to fully understand the impacts for Leicestershire and the most appropriate mitigation. ii) The Council recognises that the WDES is a draft document. However, it is disappointing that even in draft; there is a distinct lack of information provided in sections of the WDES, especially regarding the proposed scheme’s constructional and operational impacts and in respect of its design. But, the Council have determined to use this as an opportunity to shape the design and mitigation across the County. Where clear mitigation is not yet defined, the Council will seek to secure assurances from HS2 Ltd that further work will be carried out to inform the preparation of the Hybrid Bill, including HS2 Ltd preparing an Interim Transport Assessment (including sensitivity testing), and during the Parliamentary processes.

  • The Lost Village of Andreschurch 1
    THE LOST VILLAGE OF ANDRESCHURCH 1 1 2 The Lost Village of Andreschurch 3 4 A E Brown 5 6 7 8 9 Reasons are given for identifying the deserted village of Andreschurch with the 10 present-day village of Breedon-on-the Hill. An attempt is made to interpret the late 1 10th-century land book relating to the Breedon area (S749) in the light of this 2 identification and to assess its significance for the landscape history of the parish. 3 4 5 6 Since the early years of the 19th century the deserted, and lost, village of Andreschurch has 7 figured in historical and topographical writing about Leicestershire. John Nichols, 8 in volume three of his History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester, published in 9 1804, described Andreskirk, Andreschirch or Andreskirkton as ‘formerly a considerable 10 village, situated on the limits of the two lordships of Bredon and Staunton (Harold)’. 1 Having cited various documents in the cartulary of Breedon Priory, and relying on an 2 unpublished manuscript written by Sir William Dugdale in the 17th century, he accepted 3 the conclusion that the Canons of Breedon, having secured full possession from a series of 4 freeholders, ‘depopulated the village, and converted it to their own demesne, so that for 5 many ages the very name as well as the site of it is lost to oblivion’ (1804, 702). He claimed 6 that the foundations of houses were occasionally discovered in the enclosed fields known 7 as the Scalacres, which lie close to the south-western boundary of Breedon parish (Fig 1).

Foreword We need to review our Noise Action Plan because of the Environmental Noise Directive (2002/49/EC), under which member states of the European Union must produce ‘noise maps’ for the main sources of environmental noise – major roads, major railways, major airports and towns and cities with a population greater than 100,000 people and more than 500 people for every square kilometre (km2). Member states must also produce action plans based on the results of the noise mapping. 4 Our noise action plan was first published in 2011. We need to revise the plan so shortly after its publication because of the Environmental Noise Directive (2002/49/EC). Although the law on managing noise, together with the framework and guidelines, are set at national and international level, many measures to control noise at East Midlands Airport have been agreed and introduced locally. In preparing our plan, we have worked with the airport Independent Consultative Committee, surrounding local authorities, airlines and our own air traffic services.

  • The Listed Buildings of North West Leicestershire
    THE LISTED BUILDINGS OF NORTH WEST LEICESTERSHIRE LISTED BUILDINGS The statutory list of buildings of architectural or historic interest for the District comprises five volumes (or 'Greenbacks') which were published on the following dates:- 13th List - 29 September 1977 28th List - 1 September 1983 29th List - 31 October 1983 31st List - 20 December 1983 40th List - 16 January 1989 This gazetteer lists the listed buildings within the District by settlement and parish. Unless otherwise stated the buildings are Grade II listed. It should be noted that some changes have been made to the lists following their original publication and a number of buildings have been added to the statutory lists (ie 'spot listed'), some have been upgraded in status to Grade II* from Grade II, and two buildings; the lodge to Rotherwood, Tamworth Road, Ashby de la Zouch and the Wall and Gates at the former Railway Station, Station Road, Ashby de la Zouch; have been removed altogether from the list (A summary of all alterations to the statutory list, and the date of the last update of this document, are contained in the Appendix at the end of this index). It should be noted that some names and/or numbers of properties included on the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest have been altered since the publication of the lists. Where the District Council has been made aware of such occurrences these are identified in bold following the relevant list entry in the index. Further, it should be noted in some cases properties have been sub-divided and have accordingly acquired new names/numbers and that some properties (NOT included themselves within the index) may have listed status as a result of being - or having been - within the curtilage of a principal listed building at the time of a listing.
