  • Rural Settlement List 2014
    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.

    A9: Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan 2018 Contents 1. Introduction 3 2. Future pressures 4 3. Approach – planning for the future 5 4. Our planning tools 6 5. Defining our planning boundaries 8 6. Risk based catchment screening 10 7. Conclusion and next steps 18 APPENDICES A Strategic Planning Areas 20 B Tactical Planning Areas 109 C Catchment Plans 150 2 1.0 INTRODUCTION We are developing our first Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan Every day we drain over 2.7 billion litres of wastewater from our customers’ properties. We then treat this water at our wastewater treatment work before returning the cleaned water back to the environment. Our wastewater system consists of over 94,000km of sewers and drains, 4400 pumping stations and 1010 treatment works. This system has to continue to operate effectively day in day out but also needs to be able to cope with future pressures and this is where our Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan comes in. Our Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan will cover the investments we plan to make over the next 5 year period, 2020 to 2025, as well setting out a long term (25 year) strategy for how we are going to deliver a reliable and sustainable wastewater service. The first full publication of Drainage and Wastewater Management Plans (DWMPs) is not scheduled until 2022/23. We have chosen to provide a draft of our initial findings to: support the strategic investments we are proposing for AMP7; demonstrate our commitment to long term, sustainable, wastewater planning; and, provide an early benchmark to support and encourage the sector in development of DWMPs - in keeping with our position as a sector leader and innovator.

  • Manorial Officeholding in Late Medieval and Early Modern England, 1300-1600
    Manorial Officeholding in Late Medieval and Early Modern England, 1300-1600 Alex Spike Gibbs Trinity College September 2018 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Alex Spike Gibbs – Manorial Officeholding in Late Medieval and Early Modern England, 1300-1600 Abstract This thesis investigates the role and identity of manorial officers, individuals drawn from a lord’s tenants who were vital in administering his manor court and directly-farmed lands. It analyses officeholding from a social and political standpoint, examining the role of officers in governing village communities, and how this was affected by the decline of lordship and development of the state. The study deliberated bridges the medieval/early modern divide, analysing the period 1300-1600. The evidence base for this investigation relies on the reconstruction of officeholding from the court rolls of three case-study manors. These consist of Little Downham (Cambs.), Horstead (Norf.) and Worfield (Salop.). The first part of the thesis utilises quantitative methodologies to analyse the change in presentments made by officers (chapter one) and patterns in participation in office (chapter two). The second part adopts a qualitative approach to examine the role of officers in governing village communities (chapter three), attitudes to office among manorial tenants (chapter four), and the interaction of officeholding with the state and especially with the emergent civil parish (chapter five). Four central conclusions emerge from this work. Firstly, manorial officeholding remained an important institution in the English countryside across the period 1300-1600. Secondly, this was achieved via support from tenants who were invested in manorial office rather than pressure from lords or the crown.
