Welcome to Peatling Parva![]() The web site is designed to be used by members of the village as well as others who want to learn more about the history of the village, together with people who have lived or do live in the village. More information will be added to the web site over time and if you would like to get involved in adding more information, please send an e-mail to eliza_york@hotmail.com » Latest NewsPosted: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:34 ![]() This is an urgent plea for help. A 126 metre high wind turbine is proposed on land at Sparrow Lodge, Pincet Lane, between Husbands Bosworth, North Kilworth and Walton. Harborough DC are deciding this application at 6.30pm on Tuesday 1st December. I cannot over emphasise the physical size of this development, and the significant, adverse, impact that it will have on the local area. It will be one of the tallest structures in the East Midlands My request is twofold: This turbine is set to ruin three dwellings which are all within 560 metres, the closest being 460 metres. There are more houses at between 500m and 1000m that will also be affected. Our council staff seem happy to allow this to happen. We will know next Tuesday how the Councillors feel. The Council have already acknowledged that the visual dominance of the turbine on our home will be overbearing and that it will have an adverse effect upon our residential amenity. This is neither fair nor just. Please feel free to contact me on 01858 880083 / 07717 698550 if you have any questions.

The Heritage Warden network is made up of volunteers who help monitor and conserve the rich heritage of Leicestershire’s countryside and landscape. The network is run with support from Leicestershire County Council’s Community Heritage Initiative, a project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Rutland County Council. This scheme helps people to record and celebrate natural heritage and provides volunteers with a wealth of information, literature and support to undertake heritage and countryside studies. More » Heritage Wardens are asked to keep an eye on local sites of heritage importance. Natural history recording is one of the main focuses of the project. Recording habitats, such as wildflower meadows, ancient woodlands, hedgerows and field ponds, is a top priority and will help to give an insight into the state of the environment in Leicestershire. Being a Heritage Warden does not require any specialist expertise in the field of heritage recording and can take up as much or as little time as you can spare. By becoming a Heritage Warden you may be able to help in the conservation of the heritage in the local environment. Through local observation of sites, threats to their value can be ascertained at an early stage. Wardens have access to: To volunteer as Heritage Warden for your parish or for more information on the scheme, contact: Community Heritage Initiative or visit the Community Heritage Initiative website at www.leics.gov.uk/heritage_wardens « Less |
