Cheshire West and Chester CHESHIRE WEST AND CHESTER LOCAL PLAN (PART TWO) LAND ALLOCATIONS AND DETAILED POLICIES – CALL FOR SITES WINNINGTON WORKS SITE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT June 2014 Unit 11 Well House Barns Chester Road Bretton Chester CH4 0DH EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This development plan representation has been prepared by Tata Chemicals Europe Limited (TCEL) with the assistance of AXIS PED Limited (AXIS), following informal discussions with representatives of Cheshire West and Chester Council (CW&CC) Planning Services, in respect to the CW&CC Local Plan (Part Two) Land Allocations and Detailed Policies – Call for Sites. The Local Plan (Part Two) forms the second of a number of development plan documents which collectively will replace the historic Local Plans which exist across the borough. The Local Plan (Part Two) will build upon the Local Plan (Part One) Strategic Policies document which is currently due to be considered at independent examination in public later this month. The Local Plan (Part Two) will set out site- specific allocations and detailed policies, following on from the strategic framework set out in the Local Plan (Part One). Many potential development sites have already been put forward for consideration within the Local Plan (Part Two), through CW&CC’s up-to-date Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) and Employment Land Study (ELS). In addition sites have also been submitted through consultation on the Local Plan (Part One) Strategic Policies and through a call for sites exercise undertaken as part of that process. On the 1st May 2014 CW&CC published for consultation the Local Plan (Part Two) Land Allocations and Detailed Policies – Issues consultation and additional call for sites. The consultation runs for seven weeks from Thursday 1 May 2014 at 12pm to 19 June 2014 at 5pm. This document forms supporting information to representations made by TCEL to both the Issues consultation and the additional call for sites, in respect of development proposals at the Winnington Works Site, Winnington, Northwich (See Figure 1). The representation relates to the redevelopment of the site following the closure of much of the historical chemical works principally related to soda ash and calcium chloride production. This representation has followed an initial period of evaluation and assessment into the potential development of the site as a multi-faceted strategic mixed-use residential and employment allocation. The assessment process has considered the 1539-01 Winnington Works Site – Tata Chemicals Europe Limited viability, feasibility and planning acceptability of redeveloping the site. This process has resulted in the production of an initial masterplan for the site which represents a redeveloped site solution that accords with national and local policy objectives and will assist in delivering sustainable development across the former works. The redevelopment masterplan will continue to evolve as the Local Plan (Part Two) moves forward towards adoption and further site assessments are undertaken and stakeholder engagement is carried out. The proposed allocation would seek to draw upon the recognised benefits within the locality by providing connectivity between the developing Winnington Urban Village to the south and Northwich Town Centre to the east. It would enable the remediation of large parts of the site, utilising existing synergy with the established uses both on and off-site and would help to provide the on-going investment necessary to upgrade and improve the existing sodium bicarbonate production facilities. There is a clear and demonstrable need for the development which can be brought about through the allocation of the site, helping to deliver the Council’s development plan policies and strategies. This document, in conjunction with the representations made to the Issues consultation, demonstrates how the allocation would help to meet the objectives of the Local Plan (Part One) Strategic Policies. It identifies the constraints which exist at the site and the measures which are being taken to mitigate them. Taking all these factors into consideration, TCEL request that the site be included within the Councils Preferred Options in the Local Plan (Part Two) Land Allocations and Detailed Policies Development Plan Document. 1539-01 Winnington Works Site – Tata Chemicals Europe Limited EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CONTENTS 1.0 REPRESENTATIONS 2.0 THE SITE AND PROPOSALS 3.0 POLICY AND NEED 4.0 CONCLUSIONS 5.0 GLOSSARY FIGURES FIGURE 1 PROPSOED ALLOCATION (‘THE WINNINGTON WORKS SITE’) FIGURE 2 SITE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH FIGURE 3 CURRENT SITE LAYOUT FIGURE 4 EXISTING SITE CONTEXT FIGURE 5a – 5c CURRENT MASTERPLAN REDEVELOPMENT OPTIONS (SUBJECT TO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT DURING CONSULTATION LED REDESIGN) 1539-01 Winnington Works Site – Tata Chemicals Europe Limited CW&CC Local Plan (Part Two) Land Allocations and Detailed Policies – Call for Sites 1.0 REPRESENTATIONS – WINNINGTON WORKS 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 This document has been prepared to support representations made on behalf of Tata Chemicals Europe Limited (TCEL) to Cheshire West and Chester Council (CW&CC) in respect of their consultation on the Local Plan (Part Two) Land Allocations and Detailed Policies – Call for Sites Development Plan Document (DPD). 1.1.2 The representations relate to the inclusion of the wholly owned TCEL site north of Winnington Lane (A533), Winnington, Northwich for mixed residential and employment land with space for public amenity (See Figures 1-4). The proposed allocation is referred to throughout this document as ‘The Winnington Works Site’. 1.1.3 TCEL (formerly Brunner Mond (UK) Limited) is a UK-based chemical company. Historically, the main process operations undertaken at the site were associated with the manufacture of sodium carbonate (soda ash) by the “Solvay ammonia-soda process”. In addition to this, the facilities at the site convert the primary intermediate, crude sodium bicarbonate, into saleable products including soda ash and refined sodium bicarbonate as well as the by-product calcium chloride. This soda ash manufacture has been subject to closure; however, the manufacture of sodium bicarbonate (Bicarb) remains operational. Ancillary processes include water treatment, chemical and fuel storage areas and administration / technical support. There is also a gas-powered Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant at the site, which is proposed to continue to operate providing power and heat to the Bicarb plant at Winnington and also for the ‘sister’ site at Lostock to the east of Northwich. In Cheshire, chemical production has been undertaken at the Winnington Works Site in Northwich since the late nineteenth century. 1.1.4 High energy costs have seriously challenged the viability of soda ash production. This has caused TCEL to take the decision to close the soda ash and associated calcium chloride plants at Winnington in early 2014, in order to reconfigure the CHP plant and reduce these energy costs. TCEL has undertaken a process of restructuring in order to secure 250 direct jobs within its remaining businesses across Northwich (principally at Winnington and Lostock) part of which has resulted in the general improvement of 1539-01 Winnington Works Site – Tata Chemicals Europe Limited CW&CC Local Plan (Part Two) Land Allocations and Detailed Policies – Call for Sites production of sodium bicarbonate at Winnington and the continuation of its CHP plant. As a result of these financial pressures, there is a pressing need to maximise the asset value of sites which no longer provide sustainable chemical production. By generating capital through appropriate redevelopment, reinvestment will be possible in the core business and will ensure the longer-term viability of TCEL. 1.1.5 Whilst it is currently proposed that sodium-bicarbonate production would continue at the site, along with the operation of the CHP plant, the closure of much of the Winnington operation has resulted in a significant percentage of the site being available for redevelopment. TCEL recognises the strategic importance of the site’s location, forming part of the gateway into Northwich from the west. As such, there is a desire to ensure that any development of the site is prepared sympathetically to the wider built and natural environment. At the same time, there is a need to ensure that the legacy of industrial development within the area is treated with compassion. This process is being undertaken whilst seeking to ensure that any proposal assists CW&CC in meeting their strategic development objectives for the borough. 1.1.6 This need to ensure an appropriate redevelopment strategy for the site has led to the introduction of a master planning process. The master planning process is being undertaken by a team of development-led consultants who are able to advise TCEL on all planning, design, environmental and market need constraints which may, in conjunction with operational issues, influence the development opportunities which are available at the site. 1.1.7 The masterplan will result in a site solution which can help deliver the sustainable development required by central and local Government. Sustainable development is defined within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) which states that; “International and national bodies have set out broad principles of sustainable development. Resolution 42/187 of the United Nations General Assembly defined sustainable development as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own

Currently no one record of the achievements, places or people has been brought together in one celebratory scheme. This report sets out proposals to establish such a scheme – ‘The Heart of Halton’ which would be similar to the Civic Trust’s Blue Plaque scheme. It will seek to identify and celebrate where Halton’s achievers, people and activities took place or lived. 2.0 RECOMMENDED: That 1) The Board comments on the proposal to establish the Heart of Halton scheme 2) Subject to the Board’s agreement, a further report be brought before the Board, setting out the costs and operational requirements for implementing the scheme 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 The towns of Runcorn and Widnes and the various borough Parishes have much to be proud of. From ground breaking scientific achievements to contributions to popular music and contemporary society being born or bred within Halton’s boundaries. 3.2 The achievements and innovation may have happened elsewhere had it not been for the way in which Halton became a centre of excellence for a number of companies and individuals who decided to build their businesses or homes in the area. Examples of Halton’s rich and varied heritage can be found in appendix 1 of this report.

  • Sir Robert Ludwig Mond. 273 Sir Robert Ludwig Mond, LL.D., F.R.S
    Sir Robert Ludwig Mond. 273 Sir Robert Ludwig Mond, LL.D., F.R.S. THE death of Sir Robert Ludwig Mond, which occurred in Paris on October 22, 1938, deprived this world of a man who was beloved by hosts of friends in many countries and who had devoted his life to the advancement and promotion of science, the well-being of humanity, and the cause of civilisation. At the International Congress of Chemistry held in Rome during May 1938, he was aptly described by Sir Robert Robinson as the "great ambassador of science and friendship amongst the nations." He was born on September 9, 1867, at Farnworth, near Widnes in Lancashire, the eldest son of the famous chemist and industrialist, Dr Ludwig Mond, F.R.S., and was educated at Cheltenham College, St Peter's College, Cambridge, the Zurich Polytechnikum, and the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. After this very thorough training, he was chosen by his father to assist him in his scientific researches and his great industrial undertakings. In 1897 he became a director of Brunner, Mond & Company. He rendered Dr Ludwig Mond invaluable assistance in the investigation of the metal carbonyls and the establish- ment of the famous Mond nickel process, becoming a Director, and later Chairman, of the Mond Nickel Company. Robert Mond deserves a special place in science for his own researches on the metal carbonyls, which amongst other things led to the discovery of cobalt nitrosyl carbonyl. These investigations and many others were continued and extended in the laboratory which he set up in his country house at Combe Bank, near Sevenoaks in Kent.

The Story of the Belgian Refugees during the Great War. By Alan Lowe. Aliens in Mid Cheshire. The story of the Belgian refugees. A fact that is not widely known is that a few hundred Belgian refugees found their way to Mid Cheshire in the first months of WWI. They were welcomed with open arms at first with the people of the area organising places for them to stay, finding or making clothes for them and putting on shows and entertainment to help pay for their welfare. But as might be expected that welcome wore thin as the months and years went by, and after an initial rush to organise fund raisers and entertainment for the visitors they slowly disappeared from the pages of the local press only to reappear when they were involved in some minor fracas or a baptism or in two sad cases, funerals. As many as 250,000 made it to Britain. They came to escape the German hordes who had invaded their country. Many more that had entered Holland for the same reason were denied access to Britain because the Dutch government felt that allowing them to go might affect their neutral status. In Mid Cheshire they were housed at the Grange in Hartford, (Not the present school but a building further back.) at Wharton Lodge in Winsford (kindly donated by Miss Aspinall-Dudly.) and at Bachelor's Hall in the Avenue at Winnington, the latter thanks to the generosity of Sir John Brunner who also donated £1,000 towards their upkeep.
