Highway Authority Issue Summary Review Comment Response/Action 1 Introduction The introduction summarises the scope of work undertaken by RPS in respect of Woolfox Garden Village. It specifies that the document is an initial transport review to consider issues and opportunities available as part of the proposed site development which is GO 1.1 to 1.3 estimated to include around 10,000 dwellings, schools and employment uses. • Proposes a 3-phase development: Phase 1: Up to 500 Dwellings; Phase 2: Total of 2500 Dwellings, schools and employment uses; Phase 3: Additional 7500 Dwellings. Project Name: Initial Transport Appraisal Review Document Title: Woolfox Garden Village 3 It outlines that the review will provide an initial appraisal of the transport impacts with relation to the proposed development and that a detailed Transport Assessment will be undertaken. Report Format GO 1.4 to 1.11 These sections set out the report structure used in the document. 2 Site Location and Surrounding Transport Network Site Location GO 2.1 This section provides the details for the proposed location with respect to the adjacent villages. Figure 01 provides the site location. Site location within the figure is of a poor GO 2.3 quality i.e. it is not possible to see any place names and there is no north indicator. This section provides details of the travel to work modal percentages as per 2011 census for these villages. A comparison of the numbers in the report and the numbers from the census is provided below: Mode Rutland District (Report) Rutland UA (QS701EW) C 2.1 to 2.8 Train 1 2 Bus 1 1 Taxi 0 0 Motorcycle 1 1 Car Driver 64 69 Project Name: Initial Transport Appraisal Review Document Title: Woolfox Garden Village 4 Car Passenger 5 5 Cycle 5 4 Walk 22 18 As seen in the table above there is a slight variation in the percentages assumed. Local Facilities This section provides the location of the local facilities in the surrounding villages; however it does not provide the distance to these facilities and hence it is difficult to comment on the accessibility levels. MI 2.9 to 2.12 The development proposes a lot of facilities such as schools and shopping areas within the new site. There is no comment on the development plan schemes and planned allocations in the region and how the Garden Village might relate to the future proposals and committed development schemes of RCC. Existing Road Network As part of evaluating the local road network, the following roads were analysed: MI 2.13 to 2.24 o A1 o B1081 o A606 o Clipsham Road/B668 Project Name: Initial Transport Appraisal Review Document Title: Woolfox Garden Village 5 o Grantham Lane Existing traffic flows of these roads have not been provided except the traffic volume on A1 from WebTRIS. Primary surveys have been undertaken but mentioned only in Chapter 5. Some of the junctions have been mentioned along the network description. However, none of the local junctions and their existing characteristics have been evaluated based on evidence. Turning count surveys will also be needed to assess the traffic characteristics at the junctions. Footway/Cycleway routes The current location of footpaths, byways and bridleways are mentioned. However, there is no mention of their condition and current usage and how they link to local facilities or other significant routes. MI 2.25 to 2.34 The location of cycle routes has been presented, however there is no mention of their condition and current usage and how they link to local facilities. The walking distance suggestions by CIHT have been mentioned. There is no map or table to relate this to the proposed site. Public Transport Provides the service details of bus (route 29) and train services from Oakham GO 2.35 to 2.46 and Stamford. The section also provides details of the train services and facilities at Grantham and Peterborough stations. GO 2.47 to 2.48 Summary Project Name: Initial Transport Appraisal Review Document Title: Woolfox Garden Village 6 Summarises the services and facilities set out in the section. 3 Development Proposal Introduction Some of the proposed project details are mentioned here. Phasing as mentioned in Chapter 1 is described again; however, the phasing MI 3.1 to 3.3 years have not been specified. Later, in Chapter 5, the phasing years for traffic assessment are mentioned as 2026, 2036 and 2045. Employment uses/local facilities have not been detailed enough for a transport appraisal or review. ‘up to 10,000 dwellings, employment and schools Woolfox’ quoted: this should GO 3.1 read ‘up to 10,000 dwellings, employment and schools within Woolfox’. Walking/Cycling The section proposes to make walking and cycling as key elements. The report assumes the quiet residential roads adjacent to site are suitable for creating a cycling network. However, no evidence has been provided to MI 3.4 to 3.7 support this assumption. The report proposes to utilise the existing bridleway crossing the site with improvements to its surface. However, there is no mention as to what facilities could be linked to the improvements on the bridleway. Appendix B highlights the possible new cycle routes and bus only access to the Project Name: Initial Transport Appraisal Review Document Title: Woolfox Garden Village 7 site, potential circular route to Stamford and Oakham and the potential service to Peterborough. There is no analysis or supporting evidence provided for these proposals. Public Transport Two new bus services have been proposed for linking the site to local towns of Stamford/Oakham and to Peterborough station. There is no information on the MI 3.8 to 3.12 expected patronage, linkage with existing bus services or any other feasibility indicator. The report proposes to use the DRT (Demand Response Transport) system proposed by RCC in Stamford for the bus services. Future Design This section outlines the range of future technology that will be available for GO 3.13 to 3.14 the residents of the village and that all infrastructure in the development will accommodate advanced technologies. Access Two points of access are recommended for the initial phase of development (up to 500 dwellings). These are: GO 3.15 to 3.20 o Clipsham Lane: Roundabout o Unnamed road towards Woolfox Depot Grade separated junction on A1 shall be provided upon occupancy of 500th dwelling. Project Name: Initial Transport Appraisal Review Document Title: Woolfox Garden Village 8 The location of these access points and the design of grade separated junction

    Oakham and Barleythorpe Neighbourhood Plan 2018 – 2036 Regulation 16 Submission Version October 2020 Prepared by Oakham and Barleythorpe Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group on behalf of Oakham Town Council and Barleythorpe Parish Council † Michael John Hinman (1949–2019) Michael Hinman was a member of the Oakham Neighbourhood Plan steering group from its very beginning. A scion of a local family, he always maintained close connections with Rutland even during his long professional career as an archivist with Coventry City Council. He returned to live right in the centre of Oakham when he retired, and immediately became immersed in local affairs. His knowledge of local history, combined with his ordered and analytical mind, made him uniquely qualified to participate in the drafting of the Oakham Neighbourhood Plan. We take this opportunity to place on record our appreciation of his invaluable contributions to this Plan. It is our loss that he did not live to see it in its completed state.

  • Another Look Back at Langham Two Booklets Were Produced in 1991 for the “Look Back at Langham” Exhibition
    Another Look Back at Langham Two booklets were produced in 1991 for the “Look Back at Langham” exhibition. Some of the material contained in this publication was written for that exhibition and used as textual display. David Tew’s contributions were taken, with his permission, from his booklet “Langham and Barleythorpe in Rutland, its History, Church and People”. Many of the recollections included here were first published in the “Langham News”. “Another Look Back at Langham” is a miscellany of factual, researched information and of memories. Memories vary, so there may be discrepancies within the volumes but we hope that you agree that this adds to the charm of reminiscences of village life. We thank all our contributors: Margaret Catchpole (nee Hubbard) was born in Old School Cottage (now Old Hall Cottage) in 1908 and lived in Langham until she went into service. She returned to Rutland in 1949. Ben Walker’s memories of Langham span eighty five years. He came in 1915 and is still here. Maurice Cocking came to Langham in 1939 to stay with his aunt in Old School Cottage “to escape the attentions of the Luftwaffe over South East London”. Sadly, Archie Shelton died soon after his memories were recorded. He is buried in Langham Churchyard where his head-stone reads “ Arthur (Archie) Shelton who loved this village.” Gillian V. Frisby © Copyright Gillian Frisby - 2000 Neither the whole, nor any part of the information contained within this publication, may be adapted or reproduced in any material form, except with the prior written approval of the copyright holder The Village of Langham David Tew Relics of Bronze and Iron Age man, and of Romano-British people, have been found in Langham Parish: but the village as we know it today must have been established by Anglo Saxon invaders, who formed a settlement in the forest prior to the Norman conquest.
