John Hinson received these instructions on the 21 st November 2011 after providing advice and assistance to Mr and Mrs Hampton on the procurement of an appropriate site for the relocation of the two businesses during the period 2007-2011. 1.3 Andrew and Elizabeth Hampton wish to relocate their two businesses onto a single site. Hamptons currently operates from a single site at Field House, Keele Road, Newcastle under Lyme. Tidysite Skip Services Ltd. currently operates from two sites, Parkhouse Road East, Parkhouse Industrial Estate East, Chesterton, Newcastle under Lyme and Turner Crescent, Loomer Road, Chesterton, Newcastle under Lyme. 1.4 Since commencing the search in 2007, to find a site large enough for the amalgamation of the two businesses, some 17 sites have been investigated for potential suitability. This report deals with those sites which have all been considered in detail. 2.0 Site Criteria 2.1 Each of the sites investigated have been considered in relation to 6 key requirements. 2.2 Location The principal consideration in terms of location is the area of source. The majority of waste processed through Tidysite Skip Services Ltd is collected by the company directly from businesses and private individuals local to Newcastle- under-Lyme and North Staffordshire. To facilitate this Tidysite Skip Services Ltd. operates a fleet of skip and waste collection vehicles from its Newcastle-under- Lyme bases. 2.2.1 Hamptons deals with waste metals, end of life vehicles and plant and equipment for resale. These are sourced from local businesses, with materials delivered directly to the premises at Keele Road, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and nationally. Hamptons operates a fleet of various sized skip, container, flatbed and articulated vehicles. 3 Alternative Site Report For Proposed Location of Tidysite Skip Services Ltd and Hamptons 2.2.2 The principal area of source for both Tidysite Skip Services Ltd and Hamptons is Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding area which extends to a radius of approximately 10 miles. The majority of the business is generated to the west side of The Potteries conurbation. A prime consideration is easy access to the M6 motorway and A50 M1/M6 Link Road. 2.2.3 Processed materials from both businesses are distributed nationally, and in some cases internationally. The principal commodity distributed locally is the recycling residue which is sent to landfill at one of the local waste tips. These are located at Cannock, Moor Green, Crewe or here at Whalley’s Quarry in Newcastle- under-Lyme. For distribution it is important there is immediate access to main arterial routes such as the A34 or the A500 Queensway. 2.2.4 Adding all these factors together the area of search was narrowed to a radius of 5kms of Newcastle-under-Lyme Town Centre. To be suitable a site must be within this central area of operation. 2.3 Neighborhood 2.3.1 The nature of the site and locality including current site designations were considered. Sites within principally residential are thought to be unsuitable. Sites of prominence, such as those close to major roads or ‘gateways’ to settlements , or those in exposed positions where adequate screening cannot be achieved, are unlikely to receive favorable planning consideration. 2.3.2 Existing use or the previous uses of sites are considered alongside planning and development designations. Greenbelt, Open Countryside and Conservation Areas are inappropriate, as is previously undeveloped land. Sites previously used for business, commercial or industrial purposes are more appropriate, existing land use classifications were therefore considered. 2.4 Size 2.4.1 To accommodate the amalgamation of the three existing sites, and enable the businesses to invest in new technology and infrastructure, a site larger than the gross of the three existing sites is required. The processing elements of the businesses need significant improvement to achieve the targeted 95% recycling objectives. Where possible processing facilities are best located under cover and therefore the new site should be suitable for the construction of: - a recycling and sorting building in the region of 3000m², - a cardboard and plastic compaction building of approximately 800m², - a ferrous metal sorting building of approximately 750m², - and vehicle repair, depollution and breaking workshops of 2500m². 4 Alternative Site Report For Proposed Location of Tidysite Skip Services Ltd and Hamptons 2.4.2 In addition to these substantial buildings there will be: - in and out weighbridges, - office facilities, - a welfare block, - staff and visitor parking, - heavy goods vehicle turning areas. 2.4.3 Due to the size and nature of the materials and vehicles to be processed on site there is a need for large open outside receiving and storage areas. Approximately 3.5 acres will be required which will allow sufficient space between stocks for movement with handling equipment and maneuvering with heavy goods vehicles. 2.4.4 The total requirement for the operation is approximately 12 acres which will give sufficient tolerance for appropriate environmental screening and mitigation measures. 2.5 Environment 2.5.1 The sites must be capable of delivering the required facilities and mitigation measures. 2.5.2 Sites which are heavily contaminated and cannot effectively be remediated are not suitable as groundwork will be required to establish the large yard areas and to construct the processing buildings. Filled or made up ground is also unsuitable due to the excessive cost of piling foundations. Similarly ground water levels and site drainage will have a significant impact on the suitability of a site. The topography of the site is important as operational use of the development is dependent upon a level platform. 2.5.3 Environment and habitat are an important factor in determining suitability. The presence of protected species or important habitats needs to be considered alongside any appropriate mitigation measures which can be reasonably delivered. The site should be capable of providing landscaping to reduce any visual or audible impacts that may occur. 2.6 Tenure 2.6.1 It is not considered feasible to develop a facility of this nature upon leasehold premises. The significant investment required prohibits short term occupation, or the grant of temporary, as opposed to permanent, planning permission. 2.7 Road Networks, Site Access and Egress 2.7.1 Access to the site must be suitable for use by large and heavy goods vehicles, with good connectivity to both the defined area of source and the national road network. Locations close to traffic hot spots are unfavorable and locations which would require HGV’s to pass through residential areas are unsuitable. 5 Alternative Site Report For Proposed Location of Tidysite Skip Services Ltd and Hamptons Connectivity to local arterial routes and the national motorway network is key to ensure business traffic operates efficiently without causing harm or disturbance to third parties. 3.0 Sites Investigated by the Applicant 3.1 On each occasion a potential site was identified it was thoroughly examined to see if it could meet all or any of the criteria detailed above. The sites investigated included those marketed for sale, those which appeared vacant or redundant, and those, whilst occupied, may become available for purchase.

  • Companies Referred to in the Ceramic and Allied Trades Union Collection
    Companies referred to in the Ceramic and Allied Trades Union Collection Note - The following is a list of the companies which can be clearly identified in the CATU archive without any risk of confusion, the evidence coming from headed letter paper or something equally unassailable. This list is for information only. We can not retrieve documents from the collection from this list as the documents are spread throughout the collection in different files and have not been indexed. Many documents in the archive are much less clear cut (hand written notes, surveys etc) and it is not always easy to identify precisely which company is being referred to. One frequent potential source of confusion is that potbanks often had their own names, and these may sometimes look like company names. In practice, potbanks could change hands or be divided between more than one company. List of Companies in alphabetical order A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T V W A Wm.

  • History of St Marys
    The Dawn of Catholicism in North Staffordshire A Cistercian abbey of St Mary by the Trent at Hulton was founded by Henry de Audley in 1223 & soon after they established a grange (farm) at Rushton on the hillside below Cobridge. In 1538 during the Reformation Hulton Abbey was dissolved with its properties taken by the Crown & subsequently sold, but it’s grange at Rushton was the key to the survival & eventual revival of Catholicism in Stoke. Over the next few centuries the grange passed through many hands including the Biddulph & Bagnall families who were both Catholics. In 1688 the grange was ransacked by a Protestant mob as it had become well known as a Catholic centre By the early 18th century Rushton Grange, Cobridge had become a Mass centre but only became a parish in 1760 when Fr Thomas Flynn came to the district as a resident priest, he probably lived in Burslem although said Mass in the Chapel at Rushton Grange that was part of an old Cistercian farm. In 1781 a new chapel was opened on the hill above the Grange, this was St Peter’s Church, Cobridge. Hard as it is for us to comprehend it was not until 1791 that saying Mass became legal & Catholic worship was once more recognised by the laws of England. Then it was not until 1829 following an Act Of Parliament that Catholics received back their civil rights & with it their right to vote. After a period of persecution of almost 300 years was an amazing journey through which all the Parishes in the North of Stoke can trace their roots, roots that go all the way back to St Mary by the Trent way back in 1223.

Neil Ewins. Copy of paper to be delivered at Parsons, The New School of Design, New York on 23rd April 2013, for their 22nd Annual Parsons/Cooper-Hewitt symposium on the Decorative Arts and Design. The Presentation of this paper will be accompanied by Powerpoint imagery. Conference theme ‘Mobility and Design’. Sub-categories of Conference: Globalization and the mobility of cultural products. Paper title: UK ceramic manufacturing strategies, marketing and design, in response to globalization c1990-2010. Since the 1990s, ceramic exports from the Far East have surged, and UK ceramic brands have increasingly utilized cheap labour abroad, known as outsourcing. Much of the more recent behaviour of the UK ceramic industry is a reflection of globalization. Western industries have been described increasingly as ‘post Fordist’ (Amin (ed), 1994), and to many writers the impact of globalization creates deterritorialization (King (ed), 1991, p.6; Tomlinson, 1999, p.106-49). Taking their cue from Baudrillard, Lash and Urry’s analysis of ‘global sociology’ argued that ‘Objects are emptied out both of meaning (and are postmodern) and material content (and are thus post-industrial)’.

  • CVEZ Booklet Spring 2020 FINAL
    CERAMIC VALLEY Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire Enterprise Zone Spring 2020 #CeramicValley www.makeitstokestaffs.co.uk FOREWORD Councillor Abi Brown Chair, Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone Board Leader, Stoke-on-Trent City Council Since it’s launch in 2015, Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone (CVEZ) has consistently contributed to Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire’s continued economic growth, driving our move to high-value added sectors and raising productivity. We have seen investment flow in, enabling brownfield sites to finally be developed out. Built on the strong narrative of a resurgent city region, with a mix of land owners, developers and local authority partners, we have championed tirelessly the benefits of locating in the heart of the UK, and today are one of the most successful EZs in the country. With occupation over 73% of current development build and a pipeline of serious interest, this success is spurring next phase developments to bring forward their masterplans.
