  • Shared Ownership – Sales, Re-Sales and Allocations Policy
    Shared Ownership – Sales, Re-sales and Allocations Policy 1. Introduction This policy outlines Uppingham Homes Community Land Trust (UHCLT) approach to the sale and allocation of shared ownership homes. Shared Ownership provides a solution to the housing needs of those who would otherwise not be eligible for social housing nor be able to buy on the open market. Such households often work in sectors where incomes have not kept pace with increases in house prices. Our focus is on young people classed as being under the age of 35 with a local connection (residence, family or employment) to the Rutland parishes of Preston, Wing, Glaston, Bisbrooke, Seaton, Lyddington, Thorpe By Water, Caldecott, Stoke Dry, Belton, Wardley, Ridlington, Ayston and Uppingham. This policy supports UHCLT obligations relating to sales allocations in accordance with the Homes England Capital Funding Guide. 2. Aims • To establish a sales process that is non-discriminatory and responsive to demand, while contributing to the need to be inclusive and ensure sustainable communities. • To establish an efficient, transparent, fair and effectively controlled basis for the acceptance and processing of applications for low cost home ownership. • To provide a system of prioritising applicants ensuring that homes are allocated to people in housing need and to those whom shared ownership is an appropriate solution. • To ensure UHCLT meets its social objectives whilst recognising the financial importance of selling properties promptly. Shared Ownership Sales, Re-sales and Allocations Policy March 2020 • To ensure that UHCLT complies with all financial and regulatory controls including those set out in the Homes England Capital Funding Guide.

  • BRONZE AGE SETTLEMENT at RIDLINGTON, RUTLAND Matthew Beamish
    01 Ridlington - Beamish 30/9/05 3:19 pm Page 1 BRONZE AGE SETTLEMENT AT RIDLINGTON, RUTLAND Matthew Beamish with contributions from Lynden Cooper, Alan Hogg, Patrick Marsden, and Angela Monckton A post-ring roundhouse and adjacent structure were recorded by University of Leicester Archaeological Services, during archaeological recording preceding laying of the Wing to Whatborough Hill trunk main in 1996 by Anglian Water plc. The form of the roundhouse together with the radiocarbon dating of charred grains and finds of pottery and flint indicate that the remains stemmed from occupation toward the end of the second millennium B.C. The distribution of charred cereal remains within the postholes indicates that grain including barley was processed and stored on site. A pit containing a small quantity of Beaker style pottery was also recorded to the east, whilst a palaeolith was recovered from the infill of a cryogenic fissure. The remains were discovered on the northern edge of a flat plateau of Northamptonshire Sand Ironstone at between 176 and 177m ODSK832023). The plateau forms a widening of a west–east ridge, a natural route way, above northern slopes down into the Chater Valley, and abrupt escarpments above the parishes of Ayston and Belton to the south (illus. 2). Near to the site, springs issue from just below the 160m and 130m contours to the north and south east respectively and ponds exist to the east corresponding with a boulder clay cap. The area was targeted for investigation as it lay on the northern fringe of a substantial Mesolithic/Early Neolithic flint scatter (LE5661, 5662, 5663) (illus.

  • LIST of SCHEDULED MONUMENTS in LEICESTERSHIRE and RUTLAND (To 31 March 1956)
    LIST OF SCHEDULED MONUMENTS IN LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLAND (to 31 March 1956) This list has been compiled with the co-operation of the Ancient Monuments Division of the Ministry of Works. A Monument under Guardianship is one for the conservation of which the Ministry accepts responsibility. A Scheduled Monument is protected in that no alterations of any kind may be made to it (including ploughing and excavation) without three months' notice being given to the Ministry. It is then open to the Ministry to take steps to secure the permanent preservation of the monument, or alternatively to allow its destruction after suitable excavation or recording has been carried out. It is emphasised that scheduling implies no right of access to the general public, and permission should always be sought before entering any property. The Hon. Secretary of the Leicestershire Arch::eological and Historical Society will be grateful for suggestions regarding suitable additions to this list. The Act excludes churches and chapels in regular use and houses in occupation. In the list below, all monuments (other than those in Leicester itself) =1r.e referred to by the civil parishes in which they are located, the name of the c1V1l parish being given in italics: e.g., Lockingion-Hemington. LEICESTERSHIRE I. MONUMENTS UNDER GUARDIANSHIP All open to the public. A printed guide-book is available to each. The Jewry Wall, Leicester. Roman. Admission free.

  • Royal Forest Trail
    Once there was a large forest on the borders of Rutland called the Royal Forest of Leighfield. Now only traces remain, like Prior’s Coppice, near Leighfield Lodge. The plentiful hedgerows and small fields in the area also give hints about the past vegetation cover. Villages, like Belton and Braunston, once deeply situated in the forest, are square shaped. This is considered to be due to their origin as enclosures within the forest where the first houses surrounded an open space into which animals could be driven for their protection and greater security - rather like the covered wagon circle in the American West. This eventually produced a ‘hollow-centred’ village later filled in by buildings. In Braunston the process of filling in the centre had been going on for many centuries. Ridlington betrays its forest proximity by its ‘dead-end’ road, continued only by farm tracks today. The forest blocked entry in this direction. Indeed, if you look at the 2 ½ inch O.S map you will notice that there are no through roads between Belton and Braunston due to the forest acting as a physical administrative barrier. To find out more about this area, follow this trail… You can start in Oakham, going west out of town on the Cold Overton Road, then 2nd left onto West Road towards Braunston. Going up the hill to Braunston. In Braunston, walk around to see the old buildings such as Cheseldyn Farm and Quaintree Hall; go down to the charming little bridge over the River Gwash (the stream flowing into Rutland Water).
