The practice has extensive experience of historical and archaeological research, assessing significance and heritage impact and preparing heritage statements, archaeological desk-based assessments, statements of significance, conservation management plans and so forth. Humble Heritage Ltd provides heritage and archaeological advice on behalf of a wide variety of clients across much of England and is recognised by the Institute of Historic Building Conservation as a professional Historic Environment Service Provider. Humble Heritage Ltd completed this Heritage Statement during April 2021 on behalf of the owner applicant and in consultation with their project architects Max Design and planning agent Mark Simmonds Planning Services. Heritage advice was provided throughout the design process and has informed the proposals submitted with the application. This assessment is intended to inform and accompany a planning application in connection with the proposal to demolish part of the existing extension to the dwelling, erect a detached garage/annexe building, construct an open air swimming pool, and construct a new gravel driveway. It assesses the contribution that the application site makes to the significance of Clayworth Manor House, and the Clayworth Conservation Area that it falls within. It also analyses the contribution that the application site makes to the setting and the heritage significance of any nearby listed buildings/structures. It then assesses the impact of the proposed works upon these heritage assets. Clayworth Manor House was built in the late 17th century on a hall and parlour plan with cross wings and central cross-passage, but has since been much altered and extended and today forms a multiple phased building with a late 18th century wing, early 19th century remodelling and expansion and 20th and early 21st 5 century works to the rear. In the late 1960s the top storey of the house was removed and roof rebuilt and there has been 21st century remodelling and rebuilding and further expansion to the east side of the house. While some of these extensions and alterations have been more successful than others, the house generally retains a unified appearance due to a sympathetic use of brick with reclaimed brick used for more recent additions, the use of hipped tile roof covers and modern window and door openings that respond to a historical design aesthetic. Most recently, an attractive single storey orangery extension and a two-storey extension to the rear of Clayworth Manor House, have been approved and erected replacing existing 20th century extensions with minor internal modifications. The assessment of significance in this report finds that Clayworth Manor House has special interest on the basis of its origins as a late 17th century house and for the survival of some original 17th century fabric. It is also significant on the basis of the survival of architectural builds, features and elements typical of the Regency and Victorian periods, which display a good level of craftsmanship and historical character. The 20th century extensions and interventions generally have a neutral level of significance. This includes the garaging area within the application site. However, the modern annexe (a former dental surgery) built in the 1970s that falls within the application site, has a detrimental harmful impact upon both the listed house and the conservation area as its materials and appearance is jarring and unsympathetic, especially at the rear elevation. The garden area within the application site was historically an orchard with a lost ancillary building shown on the site of the proposed annexe on the 1885-1921 Ordnance Survey maps. This area has not retained any designed (historic) landscape or buildings and so its current interest is simply that it allow private views to the house and is aesthetically pleasant. In assessing the heritage impact of the proposals this report finds that the use of traditional materials for the proposed buildings, a traditional ancillary design, height and footprint that is very much subservient to the listed building preserves its prominence within the site. Furthermore, historically the house had a number of ancillary buildings (three of which have been demolished since 1921) and thus the historical character and appearance of the site is preserved as ancillary buildings and structures are part of its historical character. This report has not identified any harm to heritage. The proposals preserve the special interest of the listed Manor House and character and appearance of the conservation area. Indeed some elements of the proposals (such as the replacement to the existing annexe) are enhancements and improve the setting of the Manor House. This report has not identified any heritage based reasons for refusal of consent. INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY 1.01 This Heritage Statement has been completed by Liz Humble (MA, MA, MCIfA, IHBC), Director, Humble Heritage Ltd, on behalf of the applicant and in consultation with their project architects Max Design and planning agent Mark Simmonds Planning Services. Heritage advice was provided throughout the design process and has informed the proposals submitted with the application. This report regards the Grade II listed building and its grounds at Clayworth Manor within the Clayworth Manor Conservation Area. A site visit was made on 2 February 2021 and heritage advice offered which, together with pre-application advice, has informed the final designs. 1.02 This assessment considers the heritage impact of the proposal to demolish part of the existing extension to the dwelling, erect a detached garage/annexe building, construct a swimming pool, and construct a new gravel driveway upon both the special interest of Clayworth Manor and the Clayworth Conservation Area. 1.03 The aims of this report are to: . Inform the applicant and their specialist advisors with respect to the heritage implications of the proposed works at the application site at Clayworth Manor House. 6 . To provide a tool to help the local planning authority to understand the development of the site, its significance and the contribution that it makes to the conservation area and the setting of nearby heritage assets. Assist those in the planning system advise and assess future plans for change at the site and satisfy the requirement of paragraph 189 of the National Planning Policy Framework, which indicates that applicants should provide a description of the significance of any heritage assets affected by their proposals (including any contribution made by their setting). 1.04 This assessment is based on fabric analysis during site visits, analysis of historical mapping and secondary and primary source material, in particular research by Archaeological Services WYAS on the property and 1960s onwards architectural drawings of the property. Other than the listing description, the WYAS report and old architectural drawings there is little further information available for this building. There are no records held by the Historic England Archives, no further information in the Nottinghamshire Historic Environment Record, Historic England's Pastscape or historic photographs in the archives of the Bassetlaw Museum (the Welchman Photographic Archive) or the photographic archive of the libraries and museums of Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ('Picture the Past'). This report has also drawn heavily upon the earlier Heritage Statement prepared for the site in December 2017 (Humble Heritage) to inform the application for a single storey rear orangery extension and a two-storey rear extension with some internal modifications. SITE LOCATION AND HERITAGE PLANNING CONTEXT Site Location 2.01 Clayworth Manor House is located on Wiseton Road in the village of Clayworth (figure 1) on its north-western edge at the approach to the village from the settlement at Wiseton along a road marked as a ‘Roman Road’ on Ordnance Survey mapping. Clayworth is a village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire. At the time of the 2011 census, it had a population of

Our Workforce 12 | Appendix – Bassetlaw Demographic Profile 01909 533 533 3 1. Foreword As a Council, we have a duty to produce a Single Equality Scheme and this Strategy forms our next Scheme for 2021-2025, guiding our approach to increasing opportunities across the District and improving access to Council services. Bassetlaw District Council’s Equality & Diversity Strategy 2021-2025 builds on the foundations of our previous strategy to ensure that equality is further embedded into our policies, procedures and every- day working, and that we embrace diversity and recognise that everyone has their own unique needs, characteristics, skills, and abilities. The year 2020 was an exceptionally challenging year for all of us. The Covid-19 pandemic meant that the Council needed to provide extra support to the most vulnerable in society and find new ways to deliver its services. The next four years will be a critical period for the Council and its partners in ensuring Bassetlaw’s economy can bounce back from the impacts of Covid-19 and Brexit, and that residents and businesses can continue to be supported effectively. The Strategy is the next step in a journey to better understand our communities and anticipate the needs of residents and service users. The Strategy identifies five key objectives for the next four years, and the actions we will take to deliver each of these. The objectives have been identified through our ongoing conversations with residents, and analysing the latest data both internally and externally.

  • East Midlands
    Liberal Democrat submission for BCE 3rd consultation East Midlands Submission to the Boundary Commission for England third period of consultation: East Midlands Summary There is a factual error in the Commission’s report concerning the Liberal Democrat counter-proposals in the Leicestershire / Northamptonshire / Nottinghamshire / Rutland sub-region. We would, therefore, ask the Commission to reconsider the scheme we put forward. We welcome the change the Commission has made to its proposal for Mansfield. We welcome the fact that the Commission has kept to its original proposals in Lincolnshire, much of Derbyshire and Derby, and in Northampton. We consider that the changes that the Commission has made to four constituencies in Derbyshire, affecting the disposition of three wards, are finely balanced judgement calls with which we are content to accept the Commission’s view. The change that the Commission has made to the Kettering and Wellingborough constituencies would not have needed to be considered if it had agreed to our proposal for an unchanged Wellingborough seat. The Commission’s proposal to move the Burton Joyce and Stoke Bardolph ward into its proposed Sherwood constituency means that it is now proposing three Nottinghamshire constituencies (Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Sherwood) which contain a ward which is inaccessible from the rest of the seat. We are not in agreement with the Commission’s failure to comply with the spirit of the legislation or the letter of its own guidelines in respect of these three proposed constituencies. We are not in agreement with the Commission’s failure to respect the boundaries of the City of Nottingham to the extent of proposing three constituencies that cross the Unitary Authority boundary.
