Information held by the Council and used in the preparation of your Core Strategy/Local Plan is often the starting point for Neighbourhood Plans as for example the Historic Environment Character Assessments completed by Warwickshire County Council. Other useful information may be available from the Historic Environment Record Centre or local environmental and amenity groups. English Heritage also publishes a wide range of relevant guidance. Links to these can be found in the appendix to this letter.

Plan preparation also offers the opportunity to harness a community's interest in the historic environment by getting them to help add to the evidence base, perhaps by creating and or reviewing a local heritage list, inputting to the preparation of conservation area appraisals and undertaking or further deepening historic characterisation studies.

English Heritage has a statutory role in the development plan process and there is a duty on either you as the Local Planning Authority or the Parish Council to consult English Heritage on any Neighbourhood Plan where our interests are considered to be affected as well as a duty to consult us on all Neighbourhood Development Orders and Community Right to Build Orders.

English Heritage will target its limited resources efficiently. We will directly advise on proposals with the potential for major change to significant, nationally important heritage assets and their settings. Our local offices may also advise communities where they wish to engage directly with us, subject to local priorities and capacity.

English Heritage fully recognises that the neighbourhood planning process is a locally-led initiative and communities will shape their own neighbourhood plan as informed by the issues and opportunities they are most concerned about and relevant to the local area. As a national organisation we are able to draw upon our experiences of neighbourhood planning across the country and information on our website might be of initial assistance http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/caring/get-involved/improving-your-neighbourhood/. It is envisaged that the website will be progressively updated to share good practice in the management of the historic environment through neighbourhood planning.

The proposed neighbourhood plan area contains a rich and varied range of heritage assets including the Leek Wootton designated conservation area, Goodrest Lodge, a scheduled ancient monument (SAM), within which is a grade II* listed bridge designated as At Risk, Wedgnock Park scheduled ancient monument designated as At Risk, Guy's Cave Hermitage (and other rock cut chambers) a scheduled ancient monument designated as At Risk, Guy's Cliffe Park and Garden including 9 listed buildings and 3 SAM's (registered in grade II and designated as At Risk). Due account should be taken of the conservation of all of these assets and their settings in formulating the neighbourhood plan proposals.

As you will be aware the Leek Wooton & Guy's Cliffe parish area is outside of the defined coalfield and therefore The Coal Authority has no specific comments to make on the definition of the Neighbourhood Plan Area.

Natural England is a statutory consultee in neighbourhood planning. We must be consulted on draft Neighbourhood Development Plans where the Town/Parish Council or Neighbourhood Forum considers our interests would be affected by the proposals. We must be consulted on draft Neighbourhood Development Orders and Community Right to Build Orders where proposals are likely to affect a Site of Special Scientific Interest or 20 hectares or more of Best and Most Versatile agricultural land. We must also be consulted on Strategic Environmental Assessments, Habitats Regulations Assessment screening and Environmental Impact Assessments, where these are required. Your local planning authority will be able to advise you further on environmental requirements.

Natural England, together with the Environment Agency, English Heritage and Forestry Commission has published joint advice on neighbourhood planning which sets out sources of environmental information and ideas on incorporating the environment into plans and development proposals. This is available at: http://publications.environment-agency.gov.uk/PDF/GEHO0212BWAZ-E-E.pdf
Local environmental record centres hold a range of information on the natural environment. A list of local records centre is available at: http://www.nbn-nfbr.org.uk/nfbr.php

You should consider whether your plan or proposal has any impacts on protected species. To help you do this, Natural England has produced standing advice to help understand the impact of particular developments on protected or Biodiversity Action Plan species should they be identified as an issue. The standing advice also sets out when, following receipt of survey information, you should undertake further consultation with Natural England.

Opportunities for enhancing the natural environment Neighbourhood plans and proposals may provide opportunities to enhance the character and local distinctiveness of the surrounding natural and built environment, use natural resources more sustainably and bring benefits for the local community, for example through green space provision and access to and contact with nature.

Opportunities to incorporate features into new build or retro fitted buildings which are beneficial to wildlife, such as the incorporation of roosting opportunities for bats or the installation of bird nest boxes should also be considered as part of any new development proposal.

Warwickshire is within the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership and the plan area falls within the West Midlands 'journey to work' area. The West Midlands Local Transport Plan seeks to ensure comprehensive public transport links with key destinations outside the West Midlands Metropolitan area. Through working in close partnership with operators, Warwickshire County Council and its district councils, Centro seek to implement a high quality, accessible network that reflects changing journey patterns both within the Metropolitan area itself and its journey to work area. We therefore want to ensure that any Neighbourhood Plans, which fall within Centro's journey to work area:

* Promote future development patterns of development consistent with the West Midlands Local Transport Plan and Centro's Integrated Transport Prospectus and rail vision;

* Maximise the opportunities for the use and improvement of the public transport, freight, cycling and walking networks serving key development and regeneration areas;

* Identify and protect future routes and site specific locations for new transport schemes and proposals;

* Establish and promote appropriate parking standards for different types of location and development which maximise and incentivise the use of sustainable travel modes;

* Provide a clear policy framework for securing the implementation, monitoring and enforcement of 'smarter choices' measures together with the funding and delivery of new transport infrastructure;

* Indentify walking, cycling and way finder measures alongside bus infrastructure improvements.

Centro do not have specific comments regarding the neighbourhood boundary at this stage. However we seek opportunities to work together with the community and stakeholders regarding potential local rail infrastructure improvements across Centro's journey to work area. Especially our schemes which planned close by the neighbourhood plan boundary. For example:

* Supporting Network Rails proposals for redoubling and electrifying the Leamington - Kenilworth rail line.

* Developing a local passenger rail service which would connect Coventry - Kenilworth - Leamington and provide additional capacity and improved rail services for local residents.

* Supporting Warwickshire County Council, in their proposal for a new rail station at Kenilworth.

* Increasing the operation of services from Canley/Berkswell/Hampton - Birmingham/Coventry line from two to four trains an hour.

We would welcome the opportunity to work with you to discuss the impact these proposals may have on your neighbourhood, and to jointly identify any opportunities for improving public transport access to the area in support of its future development.

We are concerned that the Leek Wootton & Guy's Cliffe Neighbourhood Plan which include the railway within its boundary (our ref LSC2 1.0314 to lsc2 2.1327) may result in proposals being undertaken near to or next to the operational railway / Network Rail land which may impact upon its safety, performance and operation as we will not have had the opportunity (as via the current planning application notification process) to review and pass comments on vital asset protection measures to the council and developer / applicant.

Ymatebydd: Network Rail

In light of the above we would request that the Leek Wootton & Guy's Cliffe Neighbourhood Plan authority / group should contact Network Rail for any proposals within the area to ensure that:
1. Access points are not impacted (there is a Network Rail access points within the neighbourhood plan at E429773 / N268863 our ref LSC2 1m, 1386yds. All roads, paths or ways providing access to any part of the railway undertaker's land both temporary and permanent, shall be kept open at all times (24/7, 365 - around the clock) during and after the development. Any development proposal must not encroach onto any Network Rail access road, paths or ways of access to any part of Network Rail land. This also includes emergency vehicles ability to access and exit Network Rail land. Developers are reminded that each Network Rail access point has a specific right of way and as such any developer is requested to contact the Network Rail Operational Property Services Team to discuss the impact of the proposal upon our access.
2. That any proposal does not impact upon the railway infrastructure / Network Rail land e.g.
* Drainage works / water features
* Encroachment of land or air-space
* Excavation and earthworks, bunds and embankments
* Wind turbines / solar farms
* Siting of structures/buildings less than 2m from the Network Rail boundary / Party Wall Act issues
* Lighting impacting upon train drivers ability to perceive signals
* Landscaping that could impact upon overhead lines or Network Rail boundary treatments
* Any piling works
* Any scaffolding works
* Any public open spaces and proposals where minors and young children may be likely to use a site which could result in trespass upon the railway (which we would remind the council is a criminal offence under s55 British Transport Commission Act 1949)
* Any use of crane or plant
* Any fencing works / acoustic fencing works and boundary treatments (we would request that any development adjacent to the railway erects a minimum 1.8m high steel palisade trespass proof fence to prevent unauthorised access onto the railway.
* Any demolition works
* Any hard standing areas
* Works adjoining / adjacent or near to railway stations

We would very strongly recommend that the Leek Wootton & Guy's Cliffe Neighbourhood Plan authority / group are made aware that any proposal within 10m of the operational railway boundary will also require review and approval by the Network Rail Asset Protection Team, and such schemes should be accompanied by a risk assessment and a method statement. No works should commence on site without the approval of the Network Rail Asset Protection Engineer. Network Rail is required to recover any expenses incurred in facilitating third party proposals, a BAPA may be required for the works on site.
