    Tetbury and Tetbury Upton Neighbourhood Plan 2015-2030 Referendum Version October 2017 1 Neighbourhood Plan Area – designated 1st August 2013 Tetbury and Tetbury Upton Neighbourhood Plan Referendum Version October 2017 2 FOREWORD. Welcome to the Tetbury and Tetbury Upton Neighbourhood Plan. The Tetbury Neighbourhood Plan Working Group have carried out a huge amount of work to produce this Neighbourhood Plan which encompasses all the key planning issues that will affect the town in the future. Neighbourhood Plans are a new type of planning document following on from The Localism Act (2011) which introduced Neighbourhood Development Plans as policies that focus on local planning and give communities the opportunity to become involved in their future. For some years now Tetbury has been discussing what shape the town should take into the future, ‘Planning for Real’ was probably the first public consultation that gave townspeople the opportunity to describe their forward vision and following this there have been a number of public consultations and workshops that have contributed to the content of this plan. Discussions have also taken place with planning professionals, landowners, developers, local organisations, local health professionals, neighbouring parish councils and the District Council. The proposals that result from these discussions are in this document and they will determine the way that our town can develop into the future. The Tetbury community now has a chance to approve the plan in a referendum. Tetbury Town Council is very grateful for the huge amount of work carried out by the Neighbourhood Plan Working Group without their commitment and dedication we would not have such a quality document that reflects joint working between many local organisations and the community consultations.

  • Tetbury and District Neighbourhood Plan Pre-Submission Draft 2015
    Tetbury and District Neighbourhood Plan Pre-Submission Draft 2015 - 2030 After three years hard work, the Tetbury Neighbourhood Plan Group has drawn up a Neighbourhood Plan that they are happy to present to the town and Tetbury Upton for comment before they submit it to Cotswold District Council. Comments, support and objections to policies and other aspects of the Plan will be accepted by the Town Council until the 30th August 2016. You can comment online, or fill in a Comments Form here. The plan is also available at the Library and the Town Council Offices during opening hours. Comment on The Draft Tetbury and District Neighbourhood Plan until the 30th August 2016 What happens to my comments? After the Consultation finishes, the Town Council will consider all the comments made, and decide how to respond to them. Where alterations are requested and agreed the Plan will be changed. This is why it is important to say what you like as well as what you don’t like. We need to know if most people disagree with something, or if it has support as well as objections. How will I know what has changed? A report of this and other consultation will be drawn up, and include details of each comment and the Town Council’s response. What happens afterwards? The revised Plan will be submitted to Cotswold District Council, who will publicise it and then appoint with the Town Council’s approval an Examiner who will check the Plan meets the requirements of legislation. A final version of the plan with any modifications from the Examiner will then be put to a referendum in Tetbury and Tetbury Upton.

    I THESIS FOR THE Ph.D. DEGREE SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF LODON FACULTY OF ARTS BY GEOFFREY JOHN WAINWRIGHT INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY APRIL 1961 THE MESOLITHIC PERIOD IN SOUTH AND WESTERN BRITAIN VOLUME 1 ii ABSTRACT A detailed study has been made of the Mesolithic material in southern and Western Britain and a quantity of new evidence has been recorded from west England and Wales, by means of research in the field and. in museums and private collections. The results of the study may be summarised under headings re- ferring to the four main cultural groups with which it is concerned. TEE MAGLETOSEAN CULTURE New evidence has extended the previously known distributton of the Maglemosean culture into Somerset andCornwall and a concentration of settlement around the Solent has been established. THE HORSHAM CULTURE Previously published evidence has been reorganised. in order to establish the distribution, economy and origins of this culture in the Weald, and new evidence has indicated a slight penetration of this culture into western Britain. THE BRITISH 'SAUVETERRIAN' This culture has been re-examined in the light of new evidence from west England, and. it is suggested that the industrs which ex- hibit the clearest affinities with the continental Sauveterrian occur in west England and Wales, in the areas of Upper Palaeolithic Settle- ment. An indigenous origin for these industries is considered possible and no similar sites have been identified in southern and iii eastern England. SITES WITH COASTAL ECONOMIES A quantity of new evidence has been recorded in west England and. Wales, for the identification of cultural groups which pursued an economy based on the sea shore, wihh a diminished reliance on the hunting of small game.
