69 10. PROPOSED BOUNDARY AMENDMENT 10.1 Peak Park Joint 10. PROPOSED BOUNDARY AMENDMENT 10.1 Peak Park Joint Planning Board, now Peak District National Park Authority, designated Alport Conservation Area on 5 February 1982. The Conservation Area boundary was drawn loosely around the hamlet. With the exception of Greenacres and Lathkill View at the south- eastern edge of the hamlet, all properties are within the Conservation Area. Since the Conservation Area was designated there has been no review of its boundary. 10.2 From time to time, it is the duty of Planning Authorities to review and determine if P.10.2. The northern edge of the Conservation Conservation Area boundaries reflect the special Area character of the area they relate to. This may involve newly designating Conservation Areas or 10.5 At the time this appraisal was drafted, amending existing boundaries.

The terrace has early nineteenth century origins, if not earlier, and is listed Grade II because of its architectural and historic merit. 10.7 Broadmeadow is shown on the Harthill Barmaster map 1717 (see Fig.7) as two enclosed parcels of land, with no buildings. A number of lead rakes are illustrated on this map, passing and radiating from beneath these enclosed fields. During the mid-nineteenth century the cottages were the office to the Alport Mining Company and a shaft lies directly beneath the properties (Barnatt & Penny 2004). There is also a deep shaft nearby that leads to an engine chamber. An hydraulic engine, made at Coalbrookdale, was introduced into this shaft in 1819. This was replaced in 1836 by another hydraulic engine, this one made by William Fairburns & Co. from Manchester. P.10.1. Rheinstor Rock 10.4 The northern edge of the Conservation Area was assessed to ascertain if this required rationalizing (see P.10.2.). The present boundary was considered satisfactory as it includes Tufa Rock and all buildings in this part of the village. This section of the Conservation Area also contains woodland that forms an important edge to the hamlet and contributes to the strong enclosed character of Alport. 69 P.10.6.

  • Rivers Bradford and Lathkill
    Rivers Bradford and Lathkill Introduction The Rivers Bradford and Lathkill in the Peak District are very important for people and wildlife and therefore need to be protected and enhanced for current and future generations. Although the rivers both provide good habitat and have good water quality they do suffer from low flows at certain times of the year and significant reaches dried up during the summer of 2011. Whilst parts of the bed of the Lathkill dry up every year the Bradford is effected much less frequently. In terms of rainfall 2011 was one of the driest years on record for the Midlands. This lead to the Environment Agency undertaking fish rescues on the River Lathkill during the summer, whilst this is an annual occurrence it happened earlier in the year than normal. A similar rescue was undertaken by the Haddon Estate on the River Bradford. On 7th November 2011, we spoke to the local community, at a public meeting hosted by Youlgreave residents about the issues facing the rivers in times of low rainfall and what may be the causes of the rivers drying up; the meeting was attended by approximately 100 people. We have been examining the data and evidence around the drying of the rivers and have considered rainfall data, groundwater levels, licensed water abstraction in the area, the local geology and historical mine drainage systems as contributory factors that have caused the rivers to dry up. Historical Evidence The River Bradford has dried up on previous occasions the most recent event prior to 2011 was 1996, which correlated with the rainfall data for this year which is the ninth driest on record for the Derwent Catchment.

  • Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated.
