Mon 14Th October 2019 FRI 4TH - MON 14TH OCTOBER 2019 WWW.HEARTOFTHEHEATONS.COM facebook.com/HeartOfTheHeatons @HeartOfTheHeatons 1 There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about. Margaret J. Wheatley Welcome to the second Heart of the Heatons, a festival to spread collective joy through arts, music and culture across the Heatons. In 2018, our inaugural year, we curated and created 55 events across 25 venues thanks to amazing performers, organisers, venues and all those who took part. Some people have, quite rightly, asked: why on earth are we doing this festival? Sometimes we’ve asked ourselves the same question! We guess it comes down to this: there is so much that can divide us these days, we need to make sure we still connect, person to person. And, what better way to connect than to experience something together. Many of the festival events have been created from scratch, not only by us, but by inspired individuals and fantastic community groups. Thank you to all of those that have taken the idea of the festival and have run with it; you are true community heroes! We are also delighted to act as a loud platform to help publicise existing regular events, bringing them together as part of the festival, with some events enjoying a special Heart of the Heatons twist. Finally, because we’ve not got enough on our plates, we’ve also launched three competitions this year – photography, poetry/flash fiction and a film awards. The closing dates for these is 20th September and there are awards for different age ranges. You do not need to be a professional to enter; just give it a try, you’ve nothing to lose – especially as it’s free! We hope you find something to enjoy during the festival – and if not, we’re open to ideas for 2020! Mel & Suze Contact us at [email protected] PROGRAMME Cost & Booking: Free!

  • Annual Monitoring Report 2004-2005
    LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT (APRIL 2004 – MARCH 2005) December 2005 Environment and Economy Directorate ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004) introduced the requirement for all local planning authorities to monitor planning policies to determine whether they are being effectively implemented. This is Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council‟s first Annual Monitoring Report on planning policy. It covers the period from 1 April 2004 – 31 March 2005. The report contains data on core indicators set out by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister along with other, locally relevant indicators. Key areas of policy that are covered include; Economy and Services (including retail and industrial developments), Housing, Transport and Environment and Heritage (including policies on biodiversity, greenbelt and waste, minerals and energy). The main findings of the report indicate that Stockport‟s planning policies are, in most cases, achieving their objectives and also support the aims and objectives of wider Council Strategies. Good progress is also being made in the preparation of all key Local Development Framework Documents. This Annual Monitoring Report is intended to act as a baseline and guide for future monitoring activities. The process of compiling this report identified some problems when gathering data; there are some gaps and inconsistencies in the way data has previously been recorded. This means that in several cases, this year‟s figures cannot be directly compared with those from previous years. The report also contains recommendations as to how data collection and policy monitoring should be changed to be more comprehensive in future. iii CONTENTS PAGE NUMBER List of Tables v List of Figures vi 1.

Similarly, it does not preclude sites being developed for other suitable uses. Nor does it preclude the possibility of residential development being granted on sites that have not been included. Any planning applications will continue to be treated on their own merits and determined in accordance with the adopted development plan and any other material considerations.

  • Heaton Moor Conservation Area
    HHEEAATTOONN MMOOOORR CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER APPRAISAL March 2006 (Updated 2012) Special Character of the Heaton Moor Conservation Area The special character of the Heaton Moor Conservation Area derives from the following elements: • Development of an affluent railway suburb of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, over-laying earlier field and settlement patterns, which can still be traced in the land assembly and arrangement of building plots. • Trees, hedges and boundary walls, albeit of an urban form which still reflect the leafy, rural character of the earlier agricultural use of this area. • Sub-areas of special character reflecting the historic periods and multi-functional nature of its development. • Social and civic amenity buildings on Heaton Moor Road give the area a strong sense of local identity. • Distinctive architectural style, grandeur, spatial significance and maturity - most evident along Heaton Moor Road itself, and in those roads in closest proximity to Heaton Moor Road, with the exception of the densely developed areas around Derby Range and Moor Top. • Predominant architectural influences are Free Gothic Revival and Arts and Crafts, with building materials predominantly red brick with yellow brick and stone detail, eclectic decorative finishes, slate and tile roofs • Individual roads of particular character such as the enclaves of Hawthorn Grove , Hooley Range and St Alban’s Avenue, the latter given particularly strong identity by the imposing stone gateposts to the road on Heaton Moor Road. • Stone gateposts, garden walls of brick or/and stone, and clear alignments of building plots with building frontages set well back from the road. • Significant views in the Area which focuses on development along Heaton Moor Road, its local centres, landmark buildings and features.

  • LDF Core Strategy DPD: Sustainability Appraisal Report
    Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council Local Development Framework Core Strategy DPD Sustainability Appraisal Report April 2010 If you would like this leaflet in large print, on audio tape, in Braille or on disk, please contact: Planning Policy Team Communities, Regeneration & Environment Directorate Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council FREEPOST Stockport SK1 3YQ Telephone: 0161 474 4395 Fax: 0161 474 4586 i Non-Technical Summary Non-Technical Summary What is the Core Strategy? The Core Strategy is a planning policy document. It will deliver spatial planning policy for the Borough as part of the Local Development Framework (LDF), which is a series of documents which will determine where and how development will take place in the Borough up to 2026. This means that policies in the Core Strategy, which sets the overall vision and strategy for the LDF, will determine where housing, employment, essential services, retail and leisure development will be delivered. It will also protect the natural and historic environments, whilst ensuring provision of green and open space. There is a specific policy section which lays out how transport will be delivered across the Borough. The overarching principles of the Core Strategy will endeavour to ensure all of this delivers opportunities to achieve equity for more deprived areas of the Borough, whilst reducing carbon emissions from energy use across Stockport. It should be remembered that spatial policies will not directly determine the quality or frequency of services, but the Core Strategy does ensure the infrastructure to enable those services to happen. For example the policies will not lay out how frequently bins will be emptied, but policies will make sure that buildings and the sites they occupy allow access for collection vehicles, as well as space for facilities to separate and store waste types.
