    July 2019 Trust in water Northumbrian Water ‒ Cost efficiency draft determination appendix www.ofwat.gov.uk PR19 draft determinations: Northumbrian Water - Cost efficiency draft determination appendix PR19 draft determinations: Northumbrian Water - Cost efficiency draft determination appendix 1 PR19 draft determinations: Northumbrian Water - Cost efficiency draft determination appendix 1. Wholesale water activities 1.1 Enhancement The tables below summarise the adjustments we make to set the efficient level of enhancement totex for the water resources and network plus water price controls. Where appropriate, we reallocate enhancement expenditure between enhancement activities. In the table, we present the company requested cost for each activity where we made a material challenge, after any reallocation that we may have done. Our disallowances to company enhancement proposals include a challenge on the need to invest, on the efficiency of the proposals or on the classification of the expenditure as enhancement (in which case we consider that the expenditure is covered by our base allowance). For draft determinations we make an adjustment to the enhancement allowances to account for an implicit allowance for enhancement opex included within our base models. We set out our method of estimating the opex implicit allowance in ‘Securing cost efficiency technical appendix’. Costs for new developments, new connections and addressing low pressure are now considered within wholesale water base (“botex plus”) econometric models. We show details

  • Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from Gravity Survey and Structural Inversion

Geometry of the Butterknowle Fault at Bishop Auckland (County Durham, UK), from gravity survey and structural inversion Rob Westaway 1,*, Sean M. Watson 1, Aaron Williams 1, Tom L. Harley 2, and Richard Middlemiss 3 1 James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, James Watt (South) Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. 2 WSP, 70 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1AF, UK. 3 School of Physics, University of Glasgow, Kelvin Building, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. * Correspondence: [email protected]; Abstract: The Butterknowle Fault is a major normal fault of Dinantian age in northern England, bounding the Stainmore Basin and the Alston Block. This fault zone has been proposed as a source of deep geothermal energy; to facilitate the design of a geothermal project in the town of Bishop Auckland further investigation of its geometry was necessary and led to the present study. We show using three-dimensional modelling of a dense local gravity survey, combined with structural inversion, that this fault has a ramp-flat-ramp geometry, ~250 m of latest Carboniferous / Early Permian downthrow having occurred on a fault surface that is not a planar updip continuation of that which had accommodated the many kilometres of Dinantian extension. The gravity survey also reveals relatively low-density sediments in the hanging-wall of the Dinantian fault, interpreted as porous alluvial fan deposits, indicating that a favourable geothermal target indeed exists in the area.

  • Charges in 2021-22 and CMA Redeterminations
    Centre City Tower, 7 Hill Street, Birmingham B5 4UA 21 Bloomsbury Street, London WC1B 3HF By email Anglian Water, Bristol Water, Northumbrian Water and Yorkshire Water Business retailers NAVs MOSL CCW Other parties 8 January 2021 Dear stakeholder Charges in 2021-22 and CMA redeterminations This letter sets out our view on the appropriate approach to making adjustments to normal charging arrangements to support the implementation of the CMA redeterminations for the four disputing companies. We are setting this out now to facilitate company statements on significant changes in charges which are due to be published on 11 January 2021 and wholesale charges which are due to be published on 13 January 2021. Four companies: Anglian Water, Bristol Water, Northumbrian Water and Yorkshire Water have asked the CMA for a redetermination of their price controls for the 2020-25 period. Following a request from three of the disputing companies for amendments to the charging rules to allow implementation of the CMA’s redetermination, my letter of 21 December 2020 consulted on the practical consequences and impact of making an accommodation under our normal charging rules with respect to three options for the implementation of the CMA’s redetermination: Implementation of changes over 4 years from 1 April 2021, which three of the four disputing companies (Anglian Water, Bristol Water and Northumbrian Water) suggested would be possible if the CMA issued its redetermination no later than the week commencing Monday, 8 February 2021 and Ofwat allowed them to publish 2021-22 charges no later than Friday, 19 February 2021. Implementation of changes during the 2021-22 charging year, which would allow charges to change during the charging year (potentially after six months) to reflect any differences in the price limits that the CMA sets such that the CMA’s price limits are smoothed over 3.5 years.

  • The North Pennines
    LANDSCAPE CHARACTER THE NORTH PENNINES The North Pennines The North Pennines The North Pennines Countryside Character Area County Boundary Key characteristics • An upland landscape of high moorland ridges and plateaux divided by broad pastoral dales. • Alternating strata of Carboniferous limestones, sandstones and shales give the topography a stepped, horizontal grain. • Millstone Grits cap the higher fells and form distinctive flat-topped summits. Hard igneous dolerites of the Great Whin Sill form dramatic outcrops and waterfalls. • Broad ridges of heather moorland and acidic grassland and higher summits and plateaux of blanket bog are grazed by hardy upland sheep. • Pastures and hay meadows in the dales are bounded by dry stone walls, which give way to hedgerows in the lower dale. • Tree cover is sparse in the upper and middle dale. Hedgerow and field trees and tree-lined watercourses are common in the lower dale. • Woodland cover is low. Upland ash and oak-birch woods are found in river gorges and dale side gills, and larger conifer plantations in the moorland fringes. • The settled dales contain small villages and scattered farms. Buildings have a strong vernacular character and are built of local stone with roofs of stone flag or slate. • The landscape is scarred in places by mineral workings with many active and abandoned limestone and whinstone quarries and the relics of widespread lead workings. • An open landscape, broad in scale, with panoramic views from higher ground to distant ridges and summits. • The landscape of the moors is remote, natural and elemental with few man made features and a near wilderness quality in places.

  • Handlist 13 – Grave Plans
    Durham County Record Office County Hall Durham DH1 5UL Telephone: 03000 267619 Email: [email protected] Website: www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk Handlist 13 – Grave Plans Issue no. 6 July 2020 Introduction This leaflet explains some of the problems surrounding attempts to find burial locations, and lists those useful grave plans which are available at Durham County Record Office. In order to find the location of a grave you will first need to find which cemetery or churchyard a person is buried in, perhaps by looking in burial registers, and then look for the grave location using grave registers and grave plans. To complement our lists of churchyard burial records (see below) we have published a book, Cemeteries in County Durham, which lists civil cemeteries in County Durham and shows where records for these are available. Appendices to this book list non-conformist cemeteries and churchyard extensions. Please contact us to buy a copy. Parish burial registers Church of England burial registers generally give a date of burial, the name of the person and sometimes an address and age (for more details please see information about Parish Registers in the Family History section of our website). These registers are available to be viewed in the Record Office on microfilm. Burial register entries occasionally give references to burial grounds or grave plot locations in a marginal note. For details on coverage of parish registers please see our Parish Register Database and our Parish Registers Handlist (in the Information Leaflets section). While most burial registers are for Church of England graveyards there are some non-conformist burial grounds which have registers too (please see appendix 3 of our Cemeteries book, and our Non-conformist Register Handlist).
