2006/0333/03: Lafarge Aggregates Ltd E DEVELOPMENT CONTROL AND REGULATORY BOARD 12 TH OCTOBER 2006 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES COUNTY MATTER LAFARGE AGGREGATES LTD. – CONSTRUCTION OF AN EXTENSION TO THE EXISTING TILE WORKS OPEN STORAGE AREA AND ASSOCIATED DRAINAGE AND LANDSCAPE WORKS – LAFARGE AGGREGATES TECHNICAL CENTRE, SHAWELL QUARRY, GIBBET LANE, SHAWELL (HARBOROUGH DISTRICT) 2006/0333/03 – 7 March 2006 Background 1. Lafarge Aggregates Ltd. has submitted an application to extend an existing open stock ground relating to the roof tile factory at Shawell Quarry in order to overcome a shortage of storage space at the adjacent concrete blockworks site. The proposed extension area forms part of an area previously quarried for boulder clay which has since been restored to grassland. Location of Proposed Development 2. Shawell Quarry, operated by Lafarge Aggregates Ltd, is a sand and gravel quarry and landfill site located south of Lutterworth between the villages of Cotesbach and Shawell. The operations at the site include mineral extraction and a landfill operation to the north of Gibbet Lane, and a quarry processing plant, concrete block works, operational and restored silt lagoons and a roof tile factory to the south of Gibbet Lane. The M1 motorway is approximately 1200 metres east of the quarry, the M6 motorway 800 metres south and the A5 trunk road 200 metres to the south west. The line of the former Great Central Railway runs adjacent to the eastern boundary of the quarry and is located approximately 500 metres east of the application site. 3. The application site comprises part of an agricultural field, located south of the roof tile factory and north of the quarry silt lagoons, which has been restored to grassland following mineral extraction. To the east of the application site lies an area of restored quarry and landfill working, while the area to the west is agricultural pasture. 2 2006/0333/03 - continued DC&REG. BOARD 12/10/2006 3 2006/0333/03 - continued 4. The application site measures 1.78 hectares and slopes slightly to the south, with an average gradient of 1:15. Its northern edge is marked by a small ditch and a gappy hedge. Beyond this lies the existing tile works storage area which comprises a concrete hardstanding draining to the ditch. The western boundary of the site is defined by a field hedgerow and a small ditch. Public Footpath X23 runs adjacent to the southern boundary, connecting the A5 trunk road to the south west of the site with other public footpaths near the line of the former Great Central Railway. The eastern boundary of the application site is unmarked, with the remaining part of the field which falls outside the planning application area stretching further to the east. 5. Along the northern boundary of the application site, a belt of trees was planted in February 2005, supported by funding from the “Forward with Leicestershire Aggregates Grants” (FLAG) scheme. Planning History 6. Shawell Quarry has been in operation since the 1950s. The first planning permission for sand and gravel extraction dates back to January 1958. In the late 1970s, extraction operations took place on land near Hill Farm, to the west of the A426 Lutterworth Road. Since then, a number of planning permissions have been granted for mineral extraction, the erection of plant, landfilling of waste and other operational works. In 2004, the existing mineral extraction permissions were reviewed in accordance with the requirements introduced by the Environment Act 1995, and are now subject to an updated schedule of planning conditions. 7. Planning permission for the roof tile works adjacent to the application site was first granted in 1961. This permission was originally time-limited to 1975, but was renewed in 1970 with a new expiry date of 29 September 1990. Further permissions were subsequently granted for the expansion of the works with the same expiry date. In 1988, planning permission 1987/1036/03 was granted, extending the life of the tile works to 29 September 2020 or to a date one year after the permanent cessation of sand and gravel production at the adjacent quarry. This permission requires the restoration of the tile works site in accordance with a scheme to be submitted to the County Planning Authority. Such a scheme has not been submitted to date. 8. The application site itself forms part of an area which has been worked for boulder clay under planning permission 1989/0505/03. Following mineral extraction the site was restored to grassland. More recently, this area has been used for the temporary storage of soils during the construction of the new quarry silt lagoons to the south, which were constructed in 2004 under planning permission reference 2002/1376/03. Description of Proposal 9. The applicant proposes to extend the existing roof tile factory stock ground southwards into the application site. Topsoils would be stripped from the area DC&REG. BOARD 12/10/2006 4 2006/0333/03 - continued affected and stored temporarily on the adjoining field, to the south of the proposed extension area. Following the stripping of topsoil, the area would be regraded to provide a suitable contiguous platform for materials storage. The platform would be constructed of concrete on a hardcore base over regraded fill, measuring approximately 135 by 55 metres. The hardstanding would be approximately 4 metres above the ground level of the remaining part of the field. Around the western, southern and eastern perimeter of the hardstanding, banks with a gradient of 1:3 would be constructed, with a toe drain running along the base of the banks. This would extend from the existing ditch along the northern site boundary and would discharge to an existing ditch which runs along the western boundary. The existing ditch running along the southern edge of the existing storage area would be filled in. The hardcore fill material to be used in the construction of the hardstanding would be sourced from recycled materials produced at the quarry/landfill site. 10. Following regrading works the soils would be placed over the remaining field and planting areas to provide an overall average topsoil depth of 35cm. The slopes around the western, southern and eastern side of the new hardstanding area would be planted with a mix of species comprising Field Maple, Hazel, Hawthorn, Ash, Holly, Blackthorn and Oak to provide visual screening of the extended stock ground. Planning Policy 11. The Development Plan in this instance consists of the Regional Spatial Strategy for the East Midlands (RSS8), the Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Structure Plan 1996-2016, the Harborough Local Plan 2001 and the Leicestershire Minerals Local Plan 1995. 12. Policy 37 of RSS8 sets regional priorities for non-energy minerals. Environment Policy 3 of the Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Structure Plan aims to maintain and enhance the wider ecological value of the environment. Resource Management Policy 5 of the Structure Plan presumes against development which would result in the loss of the best and most versatile agricultural land (Grades 1, 2 and 3A). 13. Policy EV/1 of the Harborough District Local Plan aims to safeguard or enhance the environment of the district. 14. Policy 2 (Assessment of Proposals) of the Leicestershire Minerals Local Plan is relevant to the determination of this application in respect of part (b) of the policy which states that: "Proposals for buildings, plant and other forms of construction or engineering works will be assessed in the light of the following considerations: the siting and visual appearance of the development including its height, scale and colour; DC&REG. BOARD 12/10/2006 5 2006/0333/03 - continued screening of the development; the extent to which the development will contribute an improvement in the efficiency of mineral working; the character of the surrounding area; the design of the development and the anticipated generation of noise and dust and any other nuisance.” 15. Policy 5 of the Minerals Local Plan (Planning Conditions for the Protection of the Environment) sets out measures to control the environmental effects of mineral operations through the imposition of suitable planning conditions. Policy 11 (Restoration and Aftercare Conditions) sets out the matters in respect of which conditions will be imposed to ensure the satisfactory restoration of minerals sites. Consultations Harborough District Council - Planning 16. No objection. Cotesbach Parish Council 17. Has no comments to make on this application. Shawell Parish Meeting 18. The Parish Meeting understands that the original planning permissions for both the tile works and the Technical Centre are linked to the life of the mineral extraction and landfill operations and are thus time limited, and requests that the same conditions will apply to the proposed extension to the storage area. 19. The supporting statement to the application states that there would be no change in the consented levels of external traffic. If, as the Parish Meeting suspects, the levels of traffic are not clearly established already, the planning consent for this application should rectify the situation, and should also require Lafarge to maintain vehicle movement records for the tile works as they do for their other operations. Shawell Parish Meeting would wish to be consulted in the determination of appropriate traffic volumes if these now need to be established. Traffic volumes on Gibbet Lane are an important issue to Shawell electors. Environment Agency 20. No objection subject to a condition requiring the submission of a scheme for the provision of surface water drainage works. DC&REG. BOARD 12/10/2006 6 2006/0333/03 - continued Assessment of Proposals 21. Operations at Shawell Quarry include, amongst other activities, a roof tile factory and a concrete blockworks. Both are situated adjacent to each other on the south side of Gibbet Lane.

  • The Roman Sites of South-West Leicestershire
    PLATE I HIGH CROSS—FROM NORTH HIGH CROSS—FROM SOUTH THE ROMAN SITES OF SOUTH-WEST LEICESTERSHIRE BY ARTHUR J. PICKERING, F.G.S. PART I VENON/E TRIPONTIUM Preface THE following notes on the Roman Sites of South-West Leicester­ shire are of a somewhat fragmentary character. They will be found, however, to make some contribution to present day know­ ledge of the Midlands during the Roman occupation and will, the writer hopes, pave the way for excavation of a more ambitious character. The writer is convinced that systematic search and enquiry would reveal a number of other sites in this corner of the county at present unrecorded. Hinckley, Higham-on-the-Hill, Market Bosworth and Peckleton, where some evidence of Roman occupation has come to light, would possibly be found to be homesteads of the Roman-British farmer similar to Barwell and Sapcote. There is here every indication that in early forest clearings the land was tilled and stock raised for the important market town of Ratse Coritanorum. Owing to the lack of vigilance and to the superficial resem­ blance of Roman building material to what may be found on the site of any old cottage, there can be no doubt that much valuable evidence is often overlooked and for ever lost to us. Whatever historical interest these notes may afford to the antiquarian, their value has been considerably enhanced to the student by the descriptive and comparative notes on the coarse pottery contributed by Mr. B. H. St. J. O'Neil, of the Office of Works. His invaluable help in the examination of this material, and also in the revision of the complete type-script of this paper for the press, places the writer under a great debt of gratitude.

PREFACE. i)HE completion of Volume II. of the Transactions of the Leicestershire Architectural and Archaeological Society gives an opportunity of expressing the hope that the preserva­ tion of Papers read before the Society, and the registration of Antiquities, &c., shewn at its meetings, by means of these pages, have proved acceptable to the members. The Society should be the centre for the County of all things that can aid in forwarding the objects, and in advancing the studies, for the encouragement of which it was formed. The bi-monthly meetings should be, as they are now to some extent, the opportunities used for communicating topographical, historical, architectural, and antiquarian information from the various parishes in the County ; then it is conceived these volumes of Transactions would be of no mean value to students generally, and specially to future historians of Leicestershire. Bearing this in mind, the least valuable of the information contained in the following pages will appear worthy of pre­ servation. Each writer is responsible for his own Paper.

  • Leicestershire Minerals and Waste Local Plan Assessment of Potential
    LEICESTERSHIRE MINERALS AND WASTE LOCAL PLAN ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL SAND AND GRAVEL SITES MAY 2016 INTRODUCTION This document provides information regarding the sites that have been put forward as potential allocations for sand and gravel working in the Minerals and Waste Local Plan, together with comments received from technical consultees thereon and an indication of the reasons for their allocation or non-allocation. As the first stage in the production of the Leicestershire Minerals and Waste Local Plan, the County Council published an Issues Document in November 2013. Question 7 asked what potential exists to extend existing sand and gravel sites; and if wholly new sites are required, where should they be located? Representations were received promoting particular sites. In order to enable the County Council to carry out an initial assessment of these proposals, the site promoters were asked in December 2014 to provide additional information in relation to the identified areas. A wide range of information was requested and covered areas including the amount of the mineral, the length of time that the site would be operational, possible impacts on agricultural land quality, environmental and cultural designations, residential amenity and water resources and proposed restoration and after-use. In July 2015, coincident with consultation on the draft Plan, a letter was sent to the minerals industry drawing their attention to the opportunity to put forward further sites for sand and gravel extraction within Leicestershire. A number of potential additional sites for sand and gravel extraction were subsequently put forward in response to the consultation on the Plan. Consultation on the additional sites was undertaken in September 2015.

  • LESOPS 25 Lott Et Al
    2 A Provisional Atlas of the Carabidae of Leicestershire & Rutland Derek Lott, Graham Finch & Gareth Price LESOPS 25 (2011) ISSN 0957 - 1019 A collaborative publication from The Leicestershire & Rutland Environmental Resources Centre and The Leicestershire Entomological Society 3 FOREWORD In the spring of 2009, Derek Lott, Graham Finch & Gareth Price embarked on the production of this atlas. The idea of the atlas was the brainchild of Graham Finch, who had attended a ground beetle training course and became well aware of the need for a VC55 distribution atlas. In July 2009 a very simple first draft was produced. Derek Lott and Graham Finch scrutinized the first draft. A number of important issues needed consideration, such as taxonomic changes, the classification of sites, obtaining accurate grid references and the removal of invalid species records falsely recorded in Leicestershire and Rutland. Derek Lott provided Carabidae context to some sites in the gazetteer as well as providing species context. The production of this atlas was made much easier by the life-long work of Derek Lott, who had already accumulated vast amounts of ground beetle data and local knowledge, without which this atlas would not have been possible. Special thanks go the Carabidae recorders who have sent in records. We have endeavoured to reference and acknowledge the people and sources that have helped in the production of this atlas but often with natural history publications there are too many people to thank over a very long period of time. Our apologies go to the people or sources that have been inadvertently omitted. The gazetteer obtained information from a number of sources, in particular the Flora of Leicestershire (Primavesi & Evans, 1988) and the Flora of Rutland (Messenger, 1971).
