Councillor Barnard objects Councillor Wilson objects Site Location and Description The site is located just to the west of the settlement of Thurgoland. The proposed turbine site lies on a south facing steeply sloping field and lies approximately 105m to the north east of and on a much higher level than the applicant’s dwelling. Above the site at the top of this sloping field runs the B6462 road. The nearest non-involved property, Valley House, lies approximately 104m to the south-west of the proposed turbine Generally the area comprises rolling open agricultural land divided by dry stone walls. On the upper slopes, within the turbine site area, the landscape comprises grassland and occasional small trees. The turbine site is separated from the host property by a substantial belt of trees and an agricultural field which lies below the turbine site. A footpath passes approximately 70m to the south east and east of the site, running up the hillside, and the Trans Pennine Trail runs parallel to the bottom of the valley. Roper House and Stable Range are both Grade II Listed buildings which lie approximately 280m to the south east of the proposed development. Thurgoland Bridge (Grade II) is located approximately 613m to the northwest of the site. The nearest Local Wildlife site (Black Moor) is approximately 600m away. Proposed Development The proposal involves the erection of a single, three-bladed 5 kw wind turbine measuring 15m to the hub with a rotor diameter of 5.6m. The overall height from the base to the blade tip would be 19.8m, the whole painted in matte grey with white blades. The proposal includes a helical pile foundation. The cable run is proposed to be buried in a 600mm deep and 150-175mm wide trench running across the field to the nearest field boundary and then following field boundaries. There will be no ancillary buildings to house electrical equipment. Access to the site is proposed to be gained from an existing field gate from the B6462. The proposed development is on a working farm and the represents a form of farm diversification. It is intended to provide between 7,500KWh and 11,000 kWh renewable electricity per year equating to approximately £500pa saving, and fairly modest CO2 reductions. Policy Context The site lies within the Green Belt in the adopted Core Strategy 4 National Planning Policy Framework The Government attaches great importance to Green Belts. The fundamental aim of Green Belt policy is to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open; the essential characteristics of Green Belts are their openness and their permanence. When located in the Green Belt, elements of many renewable energy projects will comprise inappropriate development. In such cases developers will need to demonstrate very special circumstances if projects are to proceed. Such very special circumstances may include the wider environmental benefits associated with increased production of energy from renewable sources. When determining planning applications, local planning authorities should: - not require applicants for energy development to demonstrate the overall need for renewable or low carbon energy and also recognise that even small-scale projects provide a valuable contribution to cutting greenhouse gas emissions; and - approve the application if its impacts are (or can be made) acceptable. Once suitable areas for renewable and low carbon energy have been identified in plans, local planning authorities should also expect subsequent applications for commercial scale projects outside these areas to demonstrate that the proposed location meets the criteria used in identifying suitable areas. Core principle 5 of the NPPF requires as well as protecting the Green Belt, we recognise the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside. Other parts of the NPPF relevant to this planning application are as follows: Supporting a prosperous rural economy. • A positive approach should be taken to sustainable new development. Conserving and enhancing the natural environment. • The planning system should contribute to and enhance the natural and local environment by (amongst other things), protecting and enhancing valued landscapes. Requiring good design • Good design is a key aspect of sustainable development, is indivisible from good planning, and should contribute positively to making places better for people. • Planning policies and decisions should aim to ensure that developments (amongst other things) will function well and add to the overall quality of the area, respond to local character and history and are visually attractive. • Permission should be refused for development of poor design that fails to take the opportunities available for improving the character and quality of an area and the way it functions. Planning Policy Statement 22 (Companion Guide) – is still a relevant material consideration. Provides technical guidance on renewable energy projects including wind turbines. 5 Barnsley Local Development Framework Adopted Core Strategy (CS) The Council has also produced a Consultation Draft of the Development Sites & Places Development Plan Document, which shows possible allocations up to 2026 and associated policies. The document is a material consideration but the weight afforded to it is limited by the fact that it is at an early stage in its preparation. The site is allocated as Green Belt within this document. CSP6 - Development that Produces Renewable Energy - we will allow development that produces renewable energy as long as there is no significantly harmful effect on; • The character of the landscape and appearance of the area • Living conditions • Biodiversity, geodiversity and water quality • Heritage assets, their settings and cultural features and areas • Highway safety and • Infrastructure including

Using only the highest standards of conservation workmanship, the Trust will create a fully inclusive world class visitor offer of exceptional quality whilst providing training, work experience and job opportunities for the communities of South Yorkshire. 02 WENTWORTH WOODHOUSE PRESERVATION TRUST MASTERPLAN 2018 WENTWORTH WOODHOUSE PRESERVATION TRUST MASTERPLAN 2018 03 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR I consider it a great privilege and honour to Chair the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust, not because the house is one of the finest and grandest in the country, nor because it is arguably the greatest restoration project for a generation. It is a privilege because it allows me to work with, to meet and to engage with staff and volunteers who never fail to impress me with their dedication to the task in hand and their determination of spirit. On behalf of the Board of Trustees I thank you all. This review references the “small but dedicated masterplanning team” that worked tirelessly over the last 12 months to deliver the full masterplan, but the reality is that over 1500 people have contributed to this process in some way. Experienced site operators and management teams, our neighbours, members of the South Yorkshire community, our stakeholders. Their help, input, advice and assistance in the masterplanning process has proved invaluable and enabled the Trustees to consider a variety of options and make informed decisions.

  • The 2Nd Marquis of Rockingham's Properties in 1776
    THE 2ND MARQUIS OF ROCKINGHAM’S PROPERTIES IN 1776 Stephen Cooper In the 18th century the owners of Wentworth Woodhouse were noblemen. It was a pre-democratic age, when the aristocracy (along with the gentry) still enjoyed enormous wealth and exercised enormous power. The 2nd Marquis of Rockingham (1730-1782) was one of the richest men in Britain, and was Prime Minister twice, though briefly. He owned a large estate in what we now call South Yorkshire, and an even larger one in County Wicklow in Ireland. He sat in the House of Lords, controlled two ‘pocket boroughs’ and influenced elections in dozens of constituencies in the House of Commons, was Lord Lieutenant in his home County of Yorkshire, and controlled the militia there. He also owned or leased several houses apart from Wentworth House (as he called it). My curiosity was aroused when I happened to read the account of a trial in the Proceedings of the Old Bailey, London’s Central Criminal Court, 1674-1913. On 30 August 1786 one John Brown was indicted for ‘feloniously stealing a black gelding, price £14, the property of John Sharman of Girton near Ryegate in Surrey. One of the witnesses for the prosecution was William Bruce, who was a shoe-maker and boot-maker at Lambeth-Marsh, next door to the Queen’s Head. He said that the accused rented ‘one pair of stairs’ in Sharman’s house, which consisted of three rooms in all. When asked what sort of man Brown was, Sharman replied: He told me when he came to lodge with me, he was a gentleman’s servant, and I having [sic] been a gentleman’s servant myself; I lived with the Marquis of Rockingham about ten years ago;1 and at Wimbledon I lived with him seven years; I was footman to my Lady:2 I went down to Wentworth with him, and to Little Harriden [sic]; that was the very time when they left that house on Parson’s Green, before they went to Mr Rush’s House at Wimbledon.
