The colliery, operated by UK Coal, has been in care and maintenance since 2006 and currently no spoil is being deposited. The current Planning Permission expires in June 2013 and UK Coal wishes to secure Planning Permission for future tipping to ensure that, in the event of mining re-commencing, work can start with no delays. Hafren Water has been commissioned to investigate potential impacts on the water environment arising from the continued use of the spoil heap and to support an extension to the Planning Permission for the site. 1.2 Objectives The principal objectives of this study are to: Determine baseline conditions in relation to the water environment at the No 2 Spoil Heap at Harworth Colliery, and its surroundings Identify any potential impacts of the proposed development Assess the magnitude and significance of potential impacts Derivation of appropriate mitigation measures for any identified potential impacts 1.3 Data sources The following sources of data were used in this study: British Geological Survey (BGS) 1:50,000 scale geological map, Sheet 101 East Retford Geological logs of nearby boreholes The physical properties of major aquifers in England and Wales. Allen JD, Brewerton LJ, Coleby LM, Gibbs BR, Lewis MA, MacDonald AM, Wagstaff SJ and Williams AT. Ordnance Survey (OS) Explorer 1:25,000 scale map, Sheet 279, Doncaster The Environment Agency (EA) Licensed abstractions Consented discharges Active and historical landfills Rainfall data Surface and groundwater water quality Natural England Sites of Special Scientific Interest Local Authorities (Daventry District Council) Private water abstractions UK Coal Mining Ltd 1.4 Methodology of investigation Baseline conditions of the water environment have been defined by the collation and analysis of Page 1 June 2013 P:\Projects\Harworth Colliery (1629)\Reporting\HIA Harworth Colliery Tip FINAL.doc UK Coal Mining Ltd Hydrogeological Impact Assessment: Harworth Colliery No 2 Spoil Heap Final existing data and field observations. The potential effects of the proposed development upon the extant water environment have been assessed by reference to the baseline data and a series of matrices (Appendix HC/HIA/A1), developed to ensure a rigorous and consistent approach to the assessment of potential impacts. Mitigation measures have been proposed where appropriate. Baseline conditions have been taken as those existing at the time of operation of the colliery when waste material was being placed on the spoil heap. Page 2 June 2013 P:\Projects\Harworth Colliery (1629)\Reporting\HIA Harworth Colliery Tip FINAL.doc UK Coal Mining Ltd Hydrogeological Impact Assessment: Harworth Colliery No 2 Spoil Heap Final 2 SITE SETTING 2.1 Location The Harworth Colliery No 2 Spoil Heap is located approximately 1 km south of the village of Harworth, Nottinghamshire (Figure HC/HIA/01) and centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SK 61700 89900. The spoil heap covers an area of approximately 109 hectares (ha). Details of the immediate surroundings of the spoil heap are shown on Figure HC/HIA/02. The No 2 Spoil Heap (‘the site’) is bounded to the north by Selby Road with an industrial estate beyond, to the east by Blythe Road and agricultural land, to the south by agricultural land and to the west by the A1 with agricultural land beyond. The nearest residential properties are located in the village of Styrrup in the northwest, to the west of the A1, and to the southeast. Road access to the site is from an existing site entrance on Blythe Road. When operational, colliery waste is transported from the colliery by an elevated conveyor and placed in its final position by mobile plant. Waste in the form of slurry from the coal processing plant is transported by pipeline. 2.2 Landform The current landform is shown on Figure HC/HIA/03, as reported in the Aftercare Plan, August 2012. The natural ground around the spoil heap falls from around 35 m Above Ordnance Datum (mAOD) in the north to 15 mAOD in the south. The spoil heap rises to its highest point, approximately 77 mAOD, in the north of the site adjacent to the site at which spoil is deposited from the conveyor. The steep slopes (1 in 4 to 1 in 5) to the north and northeast of the peak have been planted with trees. To the east and northeast, the slopes are shallower (1 in 7) and grassed. These slopes have been restored in accordance with the restoration plan reproduced as Figure HC/HIA/A4.1 (Appendix HC/HIA/A4). Over the remainder of the site, the spoil heap rises to approximately 33 mAOD in the east, 36 mAOD in the west with a depression in the south of central area, previously occupied by a slurry lagoon when the site was operational. The peripheral slopes have, in the most part, been planted with trees, while the top is open exposed colliery spoil and unvegetated.

  • Bassetlaw Heritage at Risk Strategy & Update To
    Bassetlaw Heritage at Risk Strategy & Update to Heritage at Risk Register – July 2020 Prepared by the Conservation Team July 2020 Document details Title: Bassetlaw District Council: Bassetlaw Heritage At Risk Strategy & Update to Heritage at Risk Register – July 2020. Summary: This document sets out the Council’s strategy to tackle heritage identified as being ‘at risk’, both in the short, medium and long term. Approved: This strategy document, including the updated Heritage at Risk Register, was adopted at Cabinet on 7th July 2020. Document availability: Copies of this document, together with details of heritage ‘at risk’ in general, are available on the Council’s website (www.bassetlaw.gov.uk) or by contacting the Conservation Team by telephone (01909 533427) or email ([email protected]). 2 Foreword Bassetlaw has a rich tapestry of built heritage, spread across the district, covering a vast range of types of buildings and structures, both large and small in scale, many of which are designated. These sites are often in prominent locations and help to establish or reinforce a settlement’s sense of place. In some cases, these ‘heritage assets’ can fall into disrepair, for a variety of reasons. In these circumstances, the buildings and structures are identified as being ‘at risk’. Heritage ‘at risk’ can impact on local communities and the environment in which we live – not only are there the visual signs of neglect, but there can also be social, economic and public safety concerns too. As the Heritage Champion for Bassetlaw District Council, it is my role to raise the profile of built heritage in Bassetlaw, particularly with regard to its care and its future.

  • The State and the Country House in Nottinghamshire, 1937-1967
    THE STATE AND THE COUNTRY HOUSE IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE, 1937-1967 Matthew Kempson, BSc. MA. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2006 Abstract This thesis considers the state preservation and use of Nottinghamshire country houses during the mid-twentieth century, from the initiation of mass requisition in 1937 until 1967 when concerns for architectural preservation moved away from the country house. This thesis reviews literature on the landed estate in the twentieth century and the emergence of preservationist claims on the country house. Three substantive sections follow. The first discusses the declining representation of landowners within local governance in Nottinghamshire and the constitution of the County Council, and considers how estate space was incorporated within broadened concerns for the preservation of the historic environment and additionally provided the focus for the implementation of a variety of modern state and non-state functions. The second section considers how changing policy and aesthetic judgements impacted upon the preservation of country houses. Through discussion of Rufford Abbey, Winkburn Hall and Ossington Hall I consider the complexities of preservationist claims and how these conflicted with the responsibilities of the state and the demands of private landowners. The third section considers how estate space became valued by local authorities in the implementation of a variety of new modern educational uses, including the teacher training college at Eaton Hall and a school campus development at Bramcote Hills. The thesis concludes by considering the status of the country house in Nottinghamshire since 1967, and contemporary demands on the spaces considered historically in this study.
