Non-Technical Summary Page v © 2013 Forewind DOGGER BANK CREYKE BECK 1 Introduction 1.1 Non-Technical Summary 1.1.1 This Non-Technical Summary presents the findings of the Environmental Statement, avoiding, where possible, the use of technical language. 1.1.2 The Environmental Statement documents the findings of the environmental impact assessment process undertaken by Forewind into the potential impacts of construction, operation and decommissioning phases of both the offshore and onshore parts of Dogger Bank Creyke Beck. 1.1.3 Details of how to obtain further information on the development are given at the end of this document. 1.2 Dogger Bank Creyke Beck 1.2.1 In January 2010, The Crown Estate awarded Forewind the exclusive development rights for ‘Zone 3, Dogger Bank’; the largest of the nine Round 3 offshore wind farm zones. The Dogger Bank Zone comprises an area of 8,660 km2, and is located in the North Sea between 125 km and 290 km off the coast of Yorkshire, see Figure 1.1. 1.2.2 Since then, through discussions with National Grid, Forewind identified the potential to connect two wind farms, within the Dogger Bank Zone, to the existing substation at Creyke Beck, near Cottingham in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Forewind therefore proposed that these two wind farms would be developed together during the pre- application phase. Jointly, these offshore wind farms are referred to as ‘Dogger Bank Creyke Beck’ and it is these two wind farms (Dogger Bank Creyke Beck A and Dogger Bank Creyke Beck B) that are the subject of the environmental impact assessment and Development Consent Order application. 1.2.3 Dogger Bank Creyke Beck will be the first stage of development in the Dogger Bank Zone. It will comprise two offshore wind farms with an installed capacity of up to 1.2 gigawatts (GW) each: • Dogger

  • CR4 AREA of SEARCH LAND NORTH EAST of NORTH CAVE, and NORTH of CASTLE FARM Location and Use
    IDENTIFIED AREA SITE BRIEF – CR4 AREA OF SEARCH LAND NORTH EAST OF NORTH CAVE, AND NORTH OF CASTLE FARM Location and Use The AOS is located north-east of the village of North Cave on the escarpment of the Wolds and comprises mainly agricultural fields, predominantly Grade 2, with some Grade 3. The terrain is undulating, with the land rising from the south-east to the north-west. The land continues to rise to the north-east of the site resulting in it being highly visible from the surrounding area. Site Area Approximately 47 ha Deposit Crushed Rock (Oolitic Limestone) Potential Yield Approximately 3.3 million tonnes Planning History No planning applications previously within the AOS. Planning Policies In the East Yorkshire BC Local Plan the AOS is subject to Policy E20 Wolds Area of Landscape Protection. In the emerging East Riding Local Plan the AOS falls within an Important Landscape Area (ENV2) and parts of it fall within a Minerals Safeguarding Area (EC6). Site Planning Requirements The following information provides further details on the AOS, highlighting any potential issues. (i) Human healthy and amenity There are some 2,250 dwellings within 2km of the AOS, 391 of which are within 1km of the area. Castle Farm is located immediately beyond the road that forms the southern boundary of the Area of Search. A public footpath runs southwards away from the Area of Search immediately to the west of Castle Farm. It will be necessary to incorporate mitigation measures into any proposals in order to respect the residential amenity of these dwellings and users of the footpath.

  • Decision Document
    Environment Agency permitting decisions Bespoke permit We have decided to grant the permit for Sajara Farm operated by Foster Farms Limited The permit number is EPR/AP3434WJ/A001 We consider in reaching that decision we have taken into account all relevant considerations and legal requirements and that the permit will ensure that the appropriate level of environmental protection is provided. Purpose of this document This decision document: • explains how the application has been determined • provides a record of the decision-making process • shows how all relevant factors have been taken into account Unless the decision document specifies otherwise we have accepted the applicant’s proposals. Structure of this document • Key issues • Annex 1 the decision checklist • Annex 2 the consultation, web publicising and responses Key issues of the decision Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2013 were made on the 20 February and came into force on 27 February. These Regulations transpose the requirements of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED). This permit implements the requirements of the EU Directive on Industrial Emissions. Groundwater and soil monitoring As a result of the requirements of the Industrial Emissions Directive, all permits are now required to contain a condition relating to protection of soil, groundwater and groundwater monitoring. However, the Environment Agency’s H5 Guidance states that it is only necessary for the operator to take samples of soil or groundwater and measure levels of contamination where there is evidence that there is, or could be existing contamination and: • The environmental risk assessment has identified that the same contaminants are a particular hazard; or • The environmental risk assessment has identified that the same contaminants are a hazard and the risk assessment has identified a possible pathway to land or groundwater.

  • Sacred Springs and Holy Wells of the East Riding
    Sacred Springs and Holy Wells of the East Riding ‘If I were called in / To construct a religion/ I should make use of water’ wrote Philip Larkin in his poem ‘Water’. All religions have done so. Water is the source of life and can kill. It heals, cleanses, purifies, and destroys. It’s mysterious, fascinating and capricious: it springs from the earth, the underworld. It shows us our own reflection as could nothing else in prehistory and was used for prophecy. In the Middle Ages, holy water was so precious it was locked away, and the belief of the people in the power of holy wells and springs was so feared by the zealots of the Reformation that they were banned and some destroyed. My interest in this subject was first piqued by this rather quirky book written in 1923 by the Reverend William Smith, which has been referenced by researchers into this topic ever since, although many of the wells and springs he identified are long gone. Why? The usual culprits of the Anthropocene: over-exploitation, abuse and neglect. The water table of the chalk aquifer has been so depleted for drinking and farming that many springs have run dry. Some have been filled in, ploughed over, built upon or repurposed as rubbish dumps or cattle troughs. Others are neglected and unfindable among the brambles. But some have been saved and a few of these we’ll look at. But first we’ll go deep into prehistory to look for local evidence of water awe from ancient times. A visit to the Great Wold Valley, which now holds the Gypsey Race, flowing from Wharram le Street into the sea at Bridlington, must mystify even the casual observer.

  • U DDLG Papers of the Lloyd-Greame 12Th Cent. - 1950 Family of Sewerby
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Lloyd-Greame Family of Sewerby U DDLG Papers of the Lloyd-Greame 12th cent. - 1950 Family of Sewerby Historical Background: The estate papers in this collection relate to the manor of Sewerby, Bridlington, which was in the hands of the de Sewerdby family from at least the twelfth century until descendants in a female line sold it in 1545. For two decades the estate passed through several hands before being bought by the Carliell family of Bootham, York. The Carliells moved to Sewerby and the four daughters of the first owner, John Carliell, intermarried with local gentry. His son, Tristram Carliell succeeded to the estates in 1579 and upon his death in 1618 he was succeeded by his son, Randolph or Randle Carliell. He died in 1659 and was succeeded by his son, Robert Carliell, who was married to Anne Vickerman, daughter and heiress of Henry Vickerman of Fraisthorpe. Robert Carliell died in in 1685 and his son Henry Carliell was the last male member of the family to live at Sewerby, dying in 1701 (Johnson, Sewerby Hall and Park, pp.4-9). Around 1714 Henry Carliell's heir sold the Sewerby estate to tenants, John and Mary Greame. The Greame family had originated in Scotland before moving south and establishing themselves in and around Bridlington. One line of the family were yeoman farmers in Sewerby, but John Greame's direct family were mariners and merchants in Bridlington. John Greame (b.1664) made two good marriages; first, to Grace Kitchingham, the daughter of a Leeds merchant of some wealth and, second to Mary Taylor of Towthorpe, a co-heiress.
