Short description of the ARCUS was commissioned by Severn Trent Water to undertake a desk-based assessment of project land at Stoke Bardolph Sewage Treatment Works, Nottingham. The most significant archaeological site within the proposal area is an undated double linear feature with an associated circular enclosure, that was recorded within the site’s northernmost field on a 1975 aerial photograph. The proposal area lies outside the historic core of the village and its medieval field system and is unlikely to contain significant archaeological remains dating from this or later periods. Based on the disturbance associated with the sewage works, along with the low archaeological potential in the 2 fields under consideration, it is proposed that an archaeological watching brief is undertaken during any removal of the current topsoil or sewage waste in these fields. During the watching brief, particular attention should be paid to the northern field in which cropmarks were visible on the 1975 aerial photograph. Project dates April 2008 Previous/future work None/not known. Monument type and period None. Significant finds None.

Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment, Stoke Bardolph Sewage Treatment, Stoke Lane, Nottingham ARCUS 1169.1(1) – April 2008 4 NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY ARCUS was commissioned by Severn Trent Water to undertake a desk-based assessment of land at Stoke Bardolph Sewage Treatment Works, Nottingham (centred on SK 637 421). The assessment was required in relation to a planned extension of the sewage works and included a site visit, along with documentary and cartographic research. The site lies within the Trent Valley, which was a focus for human activity during the prehistoric and Roman periods. Trent Valley river gravels have yielded archaeological evidence of fauna, flora and human occupation. However, these deposits and features are often located at considerable depth and the visibility of potential sub-surface archaeology within the site may have been reduced by the regular spreading of waste materials from the sewage farm and the later sewage treatment works across the agricultural areas of Stoke Farm. The most significant archaeological feature within the proposal area, is an undated double linear feature with an associated circular enclosure, that was recorded within the site’s northernmost field on a 1975 aerial photograph. The proposal area lies outside the historic core of Stoke Bardolph village and its medieval field system and is unlikely to contain significant archaeological remains dating from the medieval period or later. No evidence for any such deposits or structures was identified during the walkover survey. Based on the disturbance associated with the sewage works, resulting in the low archaeological potential of the 2 fields under consideration, it is proposed that an archaeological watching brief should be undertaken during any removal of the current topsoil or sewage waste in these fields. During the watching brief, particular attention should be paid to the northern field in which cropmarks were visible on the 1975 aerial photograph.

To the Rt Hon Roy Jenkins, MP Secretary of State for the Home Department PROPOSALS FOR REVISED EI£CTORAL ARRANGEMENTS FUR THE BOROUGH OF GEDLING IN THE COUNT*/ OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE 1.

  • 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.

  • Addendum to the Broxtowe Borough, Gedling Borough and Nottingham
    Broxtowe Borough, Gedling Borough and Nottingham City Sustainability Appraisal Report of the Aligned Core Strategies Publication Version Addendum May 2013 This page is intentionally blank Sustainability Appraisal Report on Publication Version Document (June 2012) Addendum February 2013 Introduction 1. This report is an addendum to the Greater Nottingham (Broxtowe Borough, Gedling Borough and Nottingham City) Sustainability Appraisal Publication Version June 2012 of the Aligned Core Strategies (ACS). 2. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004) requires Local Planning Authorities to carry out a Sustainability Appraisal of the proposals in development plan documents and to prepare a report of the findings of that appraisal. Through the SA process, the local planning authority must assess the social, economic and environmental impacts arising from the proposals within the development plan document. The Core Strategies are development plan documents and therefore have been subject to SA at each of the key stages in their preparation. 3. The Councils published a SA Report alongside the Core Strategies in June 2012. 4. The aim of this stage of the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) process is to determine whether there are likely to be any significant sustainability effects arising from the proposed amendments to the Greater Nottingham Broxtowe Borough, Gedling Borough and Nottingham City Aligned Core Strategies Publication Version June 2012 (hereafter referred to as the Core Strategies). 5. This report therefore presents the results of the appraisal of the proposed changes to the Core Strategies, including the full appraisal of a new policy (Policy A: Presumption in Favour of Sustainable Development). The report also provides a summary of comments received at the publication stage of the ACS to the SA and officer responses to those comments, plus commentary on updates to baseline data and characteristics.

    Gedling Borough Heritage Strategy MAY 2018 Contents Page Contents 1 1 Introduction 2 2 Executive Summary 4 3 Gedling Borough’s Heritage – an overview 6 4 Benefits and Challenges 13 5 Strategic Direction and Themes of Work 18 6 Next Steps and Future Agenda 23 Appendix A Local and Natural History Groups in Gedling Borough and their 25 websites This consultation document has been prepared by consultant Stephen Bray. 1 1. Introduction The Borough of Gedling is an amalgamation of a number of villages and towns, created by the 1974 reorganisation of local government. Stretching from the River Trent in the south east to Sherwood Forest in the north west, its settlements include once separate communities that have become part of the Greater Nottingham conurbation as well as ten rural parishes incorporating country villages which have retained their rural charm. The Borough boasts heritage of local, regional, national and international significance. Newstead Abbey, home of Lord Byron, is perhaps the Borough’s most famous landmark. Other less well known but equally important assets include Papplewick Pumping Station and Bestwood Winding Engine. The Borough is the birthplace of William Lee, inventor of the mechanised stocking frame in Calverton in 1589; of Richard Parkes Bonington, the renowned 19th century landscape artist; and of Thomas Hawkesley, who designed and built Britain's first high pressure constant supply water system, preventing the deaths of countless millions of people around the world. Evidence suggests human occupation of what is now Arnold began in the late Bronze Age, while notable remnants of an Iron Age fort have been discovered near Woodborough at Foxwood, now one of the Borough's nine Scheduled Ancient Monuments.
