Advisory Visit River Bollin, Styal Country Park, Cheshire February
Advisory Visit River Bollin, Styal Country Park, Cheshire February 2010 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Bollin, Cheshire on 19th February 2010. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Kevin Nash (Fisheries Technical Specialist) and Andy Eaves (Fisheries Technical Officer) of the Environment Agency (EA), North West Region (South Area). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The River Bollin is 49 km long and rises in the edge of Macclesfield Forest, flowing west to join the River Mersey (Manchester Ship Canal) near Lymm. The River Dean is the major tributary of the Bollin, and the catchment area totals 273 km2. The section of river visited flows through Styal Country Park, downstream of Quarry Bank Mill, and is owned by the National Trust. A previous Wild Trout Trust visit was carried out further downstream at the National Trust property at Dunham Massey. The Bollin falls within the remit of the Mersey Life Project which aims to carry out a phased programme of river restoration, initially focussing on the non-tidal section of the River Mersey, the River Bollin and River Goyt (http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/wildlife/102362.aspx). The construction of fish passes on Heatley and Bollington Mill weirs in the lower Bollin catchment means it is now possible for migratory species (e.g. -

Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy: Examination (Resumed Hearings)
Cheshire East Local Plan Strategy: Examination (Resumed Hearings) Supplementary Statement submitted on behalf of BDW Trading Limited (Representor Number: 750734) in relation to Matter 5: Urban Potential and Site- Selection Methodology St James Park, Wilmslow (formerly known as Land at Little Stanneylands) September 2015 Does the assessment of Urban Potential and Site Selection Methodology fully consider the potential for development within and around the existing towns and settlements in Cheshire East, including development of smaller sites within the built-up area or on the fringes of settlements in the north of the area and the balance between brownfield and greenfield sites, and provide an appropriate, consistent, objective, justified and effective approach to the selection of sites, in line with national guidance and fully addressing the Inspector’s concerns in his Interim Views, particularly in terms of: a) Urban Potential Study 1. BDW Trading Limited (BDW) would raise the following general points in relation to the robustness of the Urban Potential Study: • The study has applied a density of 30dph across all sites, ‘unless [there is] a clear reason to deviate from this’. It is not clear whether this is a gross or net density. It would appear somewhat overly simplistic to apply a 30dph density across all sites without considering the gross to net ratio, even on a standardised basis. • This study is entirely separate from the SHLAA and does not follow accepted SHLAA methodology. Crucially it does not include any specific consideration of deliverability, and particularly viability. 2. BDW would note that even with these concerns, the potential for new housing sites within the built-up area of Wilmslow is very low. -
Woodford Habitat Survey
Woodford Habitat Survey North West Woodford, Area 10 (surveyed September 2015 and spring 2016) Area 10 forms the south west of the Neighbourhood Area, lying between Blossoms Lane, Church Lane, Wilmslow Road and the River Dean, as shown in OS and satellite images below, bounded by the turquoise line. The western boundary follows a tiny stream which meanders downhill to the River Dean and marks the border with Cheshire East. The road to Kingstreet and two footpaths, 4HGB and 5HGB, cross the area. 1 Land use Area 10 is largely agricultural land belonging to local farms and landowners, including Dean Valley Farm, Dean Farm and Barr Green Farm. It is nearly all improved grassland, either used for grazing for horses, sheep or cattle and/or for hay, haylage or silage crops in the summer. There are a few small patches of unmown or infrequently mown grass. Map showing land use in Area 10 10F25 2 Small areas of mixed deciduous woodland are to be found adjacent to the River Dean, around the Deanwater Hotel, behind the houses along Wilmslow Road and along the banks of a small stream which runs down to the River Dean. Area 10 is characterised by large fields bounded by native hedgerows with mature trees, mostly oak with some ash and sycamore. Parts of Dean Valley Farm are used for horse grazing and have been subdivided into smaller fields with fences. Open views across fields and to the Pennines can be enjoyed from footpath 4HGB.

Urrtrt MERSEY I CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

These rivers drain an area to the east and south of the Manchester conurbation. They rise in the West Pennine Moors and Peak District and flow into the Manchester Ship Canal. The catchment includes areas of widely diverse land use, including, urban development, agricultural land, protected flood plain and areas of outstanding natural beauty. The challenge of managing the catchment is reconciling and responding to all the demands o f the community in general, whether it be for domestic and industrial water, effluent disposal, recreation, fisheries, conservation or protection from flooding. The vision of the NRA for the Upper Mersey catchment, during the next 25 years, is to endeavour to realise the full potential of the catchment. There is a general need for improved water quality and this will be achieved through reductions in polluting loads discharged from sewerage, sewage works and industry. Improved water quality will result in enhanced habitats, achieve sustainable healthy populations of fish and other aquatic life and help to promote recreation. -

Today is no different in principle but different in quantities. We therefore have to plan for this activity. In planning for the future extraction of minerals it is inevitable that development has an impact. Through the plan process we seek to minimise the effect of development locally and where possible enhance the landscape, operate a "no net loss" regime in a wider sense and ensure compliance with national policy. Cheshire contains a variety of minerals including salt, silica sand and construction sand which are important to the regional and national economy. -
