Technical Note No 1 TECHNICAL NOTE NO 1 WHITE HALL, WHITEHOUGH, CHINLEY ACCESS APPRAISAL 13113 – 23 RD AUGUST 2013 1. SCP is instructed by Mrs Astall to review and report upon the potential to access a residential development on land at White Hall, Lower Lane, Whitehough, Chinley. 2. White Hall is currently accessed off Lower Lane (B6062) via a dropped crossing over the footway. The back of the footway the land is around 0.5m lower than the road and the access falls into the site. 3. Lower Lane is a classified highway and there is a mandatory 30 mph speed limit installed. Along the site frontage there is footway which is around 1.2m wide. Because of the level difference between the footway and the site there is a boundary wall installed along the site frontage. The wall is around 1.1m higher than the footway. On the opposite side of Lower Lane there is no footway. 4. The existing site access has a gateway which is around 3m set back from the kerbline. At this point the access is around 4m wide and the access track then narrows further into the site. The site access has very limited visibility onto Lower Lane because of the site boundary walls. Only 12m can be viewed in the leading direction and only 11m can be viewed in the non leading direction from the minimum set back distance for safety of 2.4m. 5. The available visibility at the existing site access is only around 20% of the desired visibility based upon advice contained within Manual for Streets 2 for a 30 mph speed limit where speeds are unknown. Whilst this poor provision of visibility has resulted in no recorded accidents there are clearly safety concerns about the access. For example there is potential for vehicles to have to wait on highway should there be a vehicle waiting to turn out of the site and there is potential for conflict between pedestrians and vehicles at the access point. 6. In order to facilitate any development opportunity on the site it is considered that the existing access point should be upgraded to improve visibility, improve the geometry of the access, improve pedestrian safety and allow space for two cars to pass side by side at the bellmouth.

SCP is a trading name of Singleton Clamp & Partners Limited Registered in England No. 3728935 Offices in Manchester, Leeds and London Cont’d … 2 of 3 White Hall, Lower Lane, Whitehough, Chinley. Access Appraisal. 7. The proposed access detail is illustrated at SCP/13113/SK01Rev A and includes the following: 1) Visibility of 2.4m x 56m in both directions in accordance with Manual for Streets 2 guidance 2) A 5.5m wide bellmouth around 4m set back from the kerbline. Around a further 6m into the site the carriageway reduces to 4.5 wide. 3) 4m radii to improve manoeuvres into and out from the site 4) 2m wide footways around the bellmouth and into the site 8. In order to achieve the proposed improvements it will be necessary to set back the site boundary wall over a distance of around 20m on either side of the access bellmouth. This would also allow for a widening of the footway on the approach to the access. There will be need to remove a number of trees to facilitate the proposed improvement, however the improvement as proposed would be anticipated to lead to a material improvement in the safety of the proposed access and would also ensure that the access is conspicuous to drivers passing along Lower Lane. 9. The accessibility of the site has also been considered in relation to local facilities by foot and access to public transport in the form of both buses and trains. 10. The village offers essential facilities for residents living on the site and the site is well located in relation to the local facilities available within the village. The facilities are found along Lower Lane and Green Lane. There is a convenience store on Lower Lane which provides everyday groceries as well as shoe repairs and a dry cleaners. Other notable shops include a Post Office which is open 6 days a week and a pharmacy, located on Green Lane. All of these facilities are available within a short 500m walk (just over a 6 minute walk time) from the centre of the site. 11. There are bus stops along Lower Lane which are between 230m and 290 m walk distance from the centre of the site. Chinley is a semi-rural location however there are 4 bus services operating through the village. One of the services operates on an hourly basis and serves Buxton, Chapel-en-le-Frith and Whaley Bridge. Two of the other services are school services whereas a further service operates between Hayfield and Buxton, travelling through New Mills and Dove Holes. Page 2 Cont’d … 3 of 3 White Hall, Lower Lane, Whitehough, Chinley. Access Appraisal. 12. Further details of the bus services are shown in Table 1 below. Table 1 – Bus Route Summary Maximum Frequency Number Route Description Monday to Saturday Sunday Whaley Bridge – Buxworth – Chinley – Chapel- 1 service per day 40 No Service en-le-Frith (school service) in either direction Buxworth – Chinley – Hayfield – New Mills 1 service per day 51 No Service School (school service) in either direction Buxton – Chapel-en-le-Frith – Chinley – Whaley 189/190 Hourly No Service Bridge Hayfield – New Mills – Chinley – Dove Holes - 1 service per day 398 No Service Buxton in either direction Source: Traveline East Midlands 13. The 189/190 service provides an hourly service throughout the day between Buxton and Whaley Bridge and passes a Tesco and Morrisons supermarket, several high schools and Whaley Bridge railway station. 14. Chinley also benefits from a railway station, which provides services between Manchester, Sheffield and Nottingham. The station is located around 400m (5 minute walk time) from the centre of the site. Rail services from this station typically run on an hourly frequency during the day but also provide direct connections to other stations including Stockport and Liverpool in the commuter peak hours. 15. It is therefore considered that the site is well located and offers a range of travel modes to local facilities and is also well located to serve longer distance trips by bus and train. 16. In summary it is considered that the site can be served in a suitable and safe manner and it located within an accessible location. Page 3 .

Chapel is a small friendly town with a long history, in a beautiful location, almost surrounded by the Peak District National Park.

  • 2011 Air Quality Updating and Screening Assessment for High Peak Borough Council
    2011 Air Quality Updating and Screening Assessment for High Peak Borough Council In fulfillment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management January 2012 High Peak Borough Council Local Authority Prepared by; Matthew Holford Officers Reviewed by; Mike Towers Department Environmental Health Council Offices Hayfield Road Address Chapel-en-le-Frith High Peak SK23 0QJ Telephone 0845 129 7777 [email protected] e-mail [email protected] Report Reference LAQM.USA.2012.v1 number Date 14th January 2013 LAQM USA 2012 1 High Peak Borough Council Executive Summary This Updating and Screening Assessment has been undertaken in accordance with statutory guidance (3,4). It is based on a review of the 2011 full calendar year of air quality monitoring results from monitoring locations operated by High Peak District Council. It is also based on a review of potential sources of emissions and their likely impact on receptor locations sensitive to air pollution based on current knowledge and experience obtained over the past 10 years of air quality assessments. High Peak only monitors nitrogen dioxide levels within the District. All passive diffusion tube monitoring locations demonstrated that nitrogen dioxide levels in 2011 were below the annual average Air Quality Objective of 40 µg/m3. A newly installed automatic air quality monitor at Pegasus crossing in Tintwistle has been producing readings that indicate a potential exceedence of the Air Quality Objective for nitrogen dioxide. This has been the subject of Detailed Assessment which is contained in a separate report. There is no evidence to suggest that any other air pollutants are at or near the short or long term Air Quality Objectives and therefore High Peak does not propose to extend the monitoring network to include other pollutant species.

  • 1-9-2014 Doveholes Quarry
    Public Agenda Item No. 4.5 DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL REGULATORY – PLANNING COMMITTEE 1 September 2014 Report of the Strategic Director – Economy, Transport and Environment 5 FIRST PERIODIC REVIEW OF MINERAL PLANNING PERMISSION UNDER SCHEDULE 14 OF THE ENVIRONMENT ACT 1995 FOR APPROVAL OF NEW CONDITIONS AT DOVEHOLES QUARRY, DOVE HOLES, BUXTON APPLICANT: CEMEX UK MATERIALS LTD CODE NO: R1/0313/26 1.306.R1 Introductory Summary A new scheme of conditions has been submitted by Cemex UK Materials Ltd under the requirements of the Environment Act 1995 to update planning controls on future operations at Doveholes Quarry, Dove Holes, Buxton under four planning permissions 1986/6/16, CHA/1259/18, CHA/1271/23 and CM1/1293/108. The scheme, together with an Environmental Statement, provides details of the proposed working of the site, environmental protection, the form of restoration and the suggested planning conditions under which the site should be worked. I consider that certain changes to the submitted conditions are necessary and my recommendation relates to an amended schedule of conditions. I do not consider that the amended conditions would restrict the working rights of the applicant so as to provide any ground for a claim for compensation. As this is a Review of Mineral Permissions (RoMP) application, the principle of the permission for the development is not under question. Valid planning permission exists and, therefore, the main planning issues are whether: • the submission as a whole, including operational and restoration proposals, meet the aspirations of the relevant development plans for the area; and • the proposed planning conditions are sufficient to ensure that the development can be controlled, such that it does not cause unacceptable impacts upon local residents or the wider environment.
