There are no designated heritage assets (Scheduled Ancient Monuments, Conservation Areas, Registered Parks and Gardens and Registered Battlefields) designated on the site. 3 ©Midland Archæological Services Wainright's Quarry Peak Dale 2016 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF STUDY 1.1 This Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (ADBA) has been researched and prepared by Midland Archaeological Services on behalf of Mr William Bagshawe. 1.2 The subject of this ADBA (also refered to as the Site) is an area of land to the north of Batham Gate Road and to the west of Dale Road, Peak Dale, Derbyshire, SK17 8AH, NGR 408830 376907 (figs. 1, 2). 1.3 In accordance with National and Local Authority guidance, this assessment comprises an examination of evidence held by the Derbyshire Historic Environment Record and the Derbyshire Archives, considers the results of nearby archaeological investigations, incorporates published and unpublished material and charts historic land-use through a map regression exercise. 1.4 As a result, the assessment enables relevant parties to consider the significance of any designated and undesignated heritage assets within the Site, to assess the archaeological potential of the site, and to consider the need for design, civil engineering, and/or archaeological solutions to any potential identified. 2.0 OBJECTIVES AND METHODOLOGY 2.1 The purpose of an ADBA is to gather information on a site or area to assess the potential for archaeological features and the presence, significance and quality of known archaeological sites. Available resources that can be utilised include local Sites and Monument / Historic Environment Records (formerly Sites & Monuments Record SMR), Local History Centre Archives, Aerial Photographs, Historic Maps, Estate Records and other documents. The production of an ADBA helps prepare an informed strategy for any further work required, which may include monitoring, targeted evaluation, mitigation or a full programme of works. The Chartered Institute for Archaeologists defines the standard of an ADBA as follows: ‘An assessment of the known or potential archaeological resource within a specific area or site on land, inter-tidal or underwater. It consists of a collation of existing written and graphic, photographic and electronic information in order to identify the likely character, extent, quality and worth of the known or potential archaeological resources in a local, regional, national or international context as appropriate’.1 1 Chartered Institute for Archaeologists 2014 4 ©Midland Archæological Services Wainright's Quarry Peak Dale 2016 3.0 PLANNING BACKGROUND 3.1 This document is to support a planning application for: Proposed change of use of former limestone quarry previously used for motorcycle training ground to camping and outdoor leisure development, together with associated earthworks and landscaping (HPK/2016/0179), (figs.1, 2, 3). 4.0 NATIONAL POLICY AND LOCAL GUIDANCE 4.1 In March 2010, the government published Planning Policy Statement 5 (PPS5): Planning for the Historic Environment, providing guidance for planning authorities, property owners, developers and others on the conservation and investigation of heritage assets2. 4.2 National Planning policy Framework (NPPF 2012) superceeded PPS5 in March 2012 and states: Local planning authorities should make information about the significance of the historic environment gathered as part of plan- making or development management publicly accessible. They should also require developers to record and advance understanding of the significance of any heritage assets to be lost (wholly or in part) in a manner proportionate to their importance and the impact, and to make this evidence (and any archive generated) publicly accessible. However, the ability to record evidence of our past should not be a factor in deciding whether such loss should be permitted.3 4.3 Local planning authorities should set out in their Local Plan a positive strategy for the conservation and enjoyment of the historic environment, including heritage assets most at risk through neglect, decay or other threats. In doing so, they should recognise that heritage assets are an irreplaceable resource and conserve them in a manner appropriate to their significance. In developing this strategy, local planning authorities should take into account the desirability of sustaining and enhancing the significance of heritage assets and putting them to viable uses consistent with their conservation; the wider social, cultural, economic and environmental benefits that conservation of the historic environment can bring; the desirability of new development making a positive contribution to local character and distinctiveness; and Opportunities to draw on the contribution made by the historic environment to the character of a place. 2 Planning Policy Statement 5: Planning for the Historic Environment 2010 3 National Planning Policy Framework 2012 5 ©Midland Archæological Services Wainright's Quarry Peak Dale 2016 4.4 When considering the designation of conservation areas, local planning authorities should ensure that an area justifies such status because of its special architectural or historic interest, and that the concept of conservation is not devaluaed through the designation of areas that lack special interest. 4.5 In determining applications, local planning authorities should require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected, including any contribution made by their setting. The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance. As a minimum the relevent historic environment record shaould have been consulted and the heritage assets assessed using appropriate expertise where necessary. Where a site on which development is proposed includes or has the potential to include heritage assets with archaeological interest, local planning authorities should require developers to submit an approriate desk-based assessment and, where necessary, a field evaluation. 4.6 Local planning authorities should identify and assess the particular significance of any heritage assest that may be affected by a proposal (including by development affecting the setting of a heritage asset) taking account of the avaliable evidence and any necessary expertise. They should take this assessment into account when considering the impact of a proposal on a heritage asset, to avoid or minimise conflict between the heritage asset’s conservation and any aspect of the proposal. 4.7 Where there is evidence of deliberate neglect of or damage to a heritage asset the deteriorated state of the heritage asset should not be taken into account in any decision. 4.8 In determining planning applications, local planning authorities should take account of: the desirability of sustaining

Long-term exposure to air pollution has been shown to reduce life expectancy, due to its impact on cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and lung cancer. Many everyday activities such as transport, industrial processes, farming, energy generation and domestic heating can have a detrimental effect on air quality. The annual status report is fundamental to ensuring the monitoring of trends and identification of areas of local air pollution exposure. The cumulative effect of a range of interventions has the greatest potential to reduce local air pollution and improve population health, as such the annual status report and associated action plans provide an opportunity to engage a range of partners.

So many parishes in S.E. Derbyshire have been dealt with in this Series that it was hoped and intended that the present volume would be devoted entirely to the High Peak district and would contain a compact group of adjacent parishes, an arrangement which always brings out in a peculiar degree the value of this method of printing the complete Marriage Registers of a whole district. Unfortunately it was not found possible to obtain sufficient MS. from the High Peak without delaying indefinitely the issue of the volume, already overdue. The latter third of the book, therefore, has been filled with the important Register of Repton, the MS. of which had been ready for some time. The Repton abstracts were made by Mr. Simpson and Mr. E.

    ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN c < t < r c ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN BY THE LATE THOMAS CODRINGTON M, INST.C. E., F. G S. fFITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS AND SMALL MAPS IN THE TEXT REPRINT OF THIRD EDITION LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1919 . • r r 11 'X/^i-r * ' Ci First Edition^ 1903 Second Edition, Revised, 1905 Tliird Edition, Revised, 1918 (.Reprint), 19 „ ,, 19 PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the litera- ture of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Cirencester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes unde- served on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads; and with the evidence now available few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable certainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can only be guessed at.

  • Medieval Lives in Castleton and Hope
    Medieval Lives in Castleton and Hope Report on the historical research for the Medieval common people in Castleton and Hope villages. Produced as part of the Lives of the Common People project, January 2012 - July 2013. By Di Curtis, Angela Darlington, Kay Harrison, Jeanette Holmes, Patricia Miles, Ann Price, John Talbot and Bill Bevan. Castleton and Hope Historical Societies July 2013 Castleton Historical Society and Hope Historical Society Abstract Angela Darlington The period covered by this document extends over nearly 600 years from the Norman Conquest to the English Civil War. In focusing on the lot of the common people of Castleton and Hope, it provides a backcloth in terms of the land that they occupied, and some of the most important influences in their day-to-day lives. They raised their families in unpredictable circumstances affected by the vagaries of climate and disease. In what was already a difficult existence, they also had to contend with the constraints of forest rule and the onerous burden of taxation. The church and the lead-mining industry both played a central part in these two North Derbyshire communities. The scene is set with William the Conqueror’s great Domesday survey and a discussion of the differences between the two villages in terms of land areas, taxable value and administration as described for 1066 and 1086. At the time of the Norman Conquest Hope was a larger and much more important settlement than Castleton, but within 20 years of the Conquest was apparently declining in economic status whilst Castleton was growing. Hopedale within the Royal Forest of Peak was the home of Hope and Castleton villages and so Forest Law was central to the people that lived and worked there.
