  • Help to Heat Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Statement of Intent
    APPENDIX 2 Energy Company Obligation: Help to Heat Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Statement of Intent On behalf of Action on Energy Cambridgeshire including: Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, Fenland District Council, Huntingdonshire District Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council. Date of publication: **TBC** Version: 1.4 URL: [insert webpage SOI has been published on] 1) Introduction 1.1. Fuel poverty in England is measured using the Low Income High Costs (LIHC) indicator, which considers a household to be fuel poor if: they have required fuel costs that are above average (the national median level); and were they to spend that amount, they would be left with a residual income below the official poverty line.1 1.2. Nationally the 2015 figures for England estimate that 2.5 million households suffer from fuel poverty, 11% the total.2 Living in a cold home doubles the risk of respiratory problems in children; increases the risk of minor illnesses; exacerbates existing conditions such as arthritis and is associated with 3 times the level of excess winter deaths as the warmest homes.3 1.3. Action on Energy Cambridgeshire is a collective of the city and district councils that work together for mutual benefit in addressing fuel poverty. We welcome the introduction of Flexible Eligibility as part of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) as it will allow us to support additional vulnerable households under broader criteria. 1.4. Fuel Poverty is a serious concern in our county and affects over 19,000 households4 contributing to more than 800 Excess Winter Deaths on average each year.5 Although our collective actions helped reduce fuel poverty across the county by an estimated 1468 households from 2013-2015 however there is still more to be done.

  • Paper on the Origins of the MONKS Surname
    monksname.doc The Derivation in England of the Family Names of MONK and MONKS, (and their phonetic variations). Based on research by Peter MONCK.1 Overview The names evolved from William LE MOIGNE, from St Lo in Normandy who came to England with William the Conquerer. In French the name means “the Monk”. King William gave Le Moigne the manor of Owers in Devon, where he settled. In England the name evolved to MOIGNE, MOINE, MOYNE and MOYGNE (with and without the prefix ‘le’). The Latin version of the Norman name, as used in medieval times in the church, was MONACHUS, from which DE MONACHO, MONIAC, MONKYS and the many phonetic variations of MONK and MONKS derived (for example: MONKE(S); MONCK(S); MUNKE(S); MUNCKE (S); MOUNK(S); MOUNKE(S)). A clear evolutionary trail for these early developments of the name is obtained from records associated with property owned by the families over several centuries, as illustrated below. More recently, from the late 18th century, parish records show variations within the one family group (for example children and grandchildren of William MONKS and Ann née FLOOK, who married at Holy Trinity, Stapleton, Gloucestershire, in 1765, were christened variously as MONKS, MONK, and MOUNKS.) Ralph, a son or grandson of William Le Moigne, was held in sufficient esteem by Henry 1st to be created a Grand Sergeant (a member of the inner court) and Larderer- in-Chief to the Kings of England. For this service he was granted 50 hides of land in five manors: Shipton Moigne in Gloucestershire (21 hides); Maddington in Wiltshire (4 hides); Great Easton in Essex (10 hides); Owermoigne in Dorset (10 hides); and Lambourne in Berkshire (5 hides).

  • Matter 24 East of Luton Luton Airp
    Examination of the North Hertfordshire Local Plan (2011-2031) Examination hearing sessions: Matter 24 East of Luton Luton Airport Expansion and Major Development Plans and Relationship with Proposed Allocation E1, E2 and E3 (East of Luton) Additional Note for Inspector on behalf of Bloor Homes and The Crown Estate On 2 nd December 2020, having reviewed Examination Document ED212: "Matter 24: East of Luton: Ms Carolyn Cottier's map of major developments East of Luton and proposed housing sites appraisal and mapping in a master plan due to spatial overlap", Mr Berkeley acknowledged that Ms Cottier's representations were detailed and the position potentially complicated. An additional note from Bloor Homes and The Crown Estate was, therefore fair and would be of assistance. Mr Berkeley further indicated that he was interested in a factual clarification on the relationship with the Luton Airport Expansion (Development Consent Order (DCO)), airport related planning applications and the Proposed Allocations E1, E2 and E3 (East of Luton). In this regard there are a number of assertions and comments made in ED212 which are not accepted by Bloor Homes and The Crown Estate but no further comment is made given the Inspector's request for purely factual clarification and is therefore limited to certain parts of ED212 by reference to page numbers. A separate Plans Document should be read alongside these notes. The content below has been checked and verified with Luton Borough Council. Box ED 212 Factual Re sponse Plan s Document Page Reference 1 1 Future Luton relates to a proposed Development Consent Order application which is planned for submission to Plan 1 the Secretary of State for Transport for an expanded London Luton Airport in 2021.

  • Interim Report May 2018
    Interim Report May 2018 www.cpier.org.uk Foreword FROM THE CHAIR OF THE REVIEW, DAME KATE BARKER The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Independent Economic Review (CPIER) is pleased to present the interim report, which has been led by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Independent Economic Commission (CPIEC). It is co-funded by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, the Business Board of the Combined Authority, and Cambridge Ahead. This is of course the Commission’s report. The views expressed have been developed as independent – as our funders asked us to do. The Commission is now roughly at the half way stage in the review. We have gathered a great deal of evidence. Much of the evidence we have is data on the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough economy. Most of what we have now is from published sources, and we have commissioned a range of new research too. Some of that is available to us now and informs this report. Much of the research is still underway and will be reflected in the final report. At this stage, we have not set out a wholly definitive analysis of where the economy of the area is heading and what should be done about it. This is more our view of where the economy is today and how it got there, an important starting point for the review. While the area the review has responsibility for is defined by its administrative geography, we are primarily concerned with the economics of the area, and we therefore refrain from artificially simplifying, or forcing together, the economic geography.
