The Group had sent an e-mail of background information dated 24th September 2018, and an Opinion document written by Paul Brown QC – circulated with the Agenda. The Group asked the Council to support the objection to the planning application made by Alderwasley Parish Council. It was understood that whilst the Council was not a consultee on the planning application as it was not within the Parish, the development would affect residents living in Whatstandwell. The Council had on previous occasions supported Alderwasley Parish Council. Resolved: The Clerk to write to AVBC Planning Dept to support the objection by Alderwasley Parish Council against application Ref AVA/2017/1336 – Haytop Country Park Caravan Park, on the grounds of the detrimental effect to the visual amenity of the residents of Whatstandwell, and the potential impact on the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. To also request that AVBC do everything possible to enforce the current planning consent conditions on-site.

The Parish Council’s request to the Chair of Planning, Cllr Norman Bull, to support the request to call- in Planning Applications AVA/2018/0582 and AVA/2018/0583, Wakebridge Farm had been dismissed. Cllr Gee believed that the parking spaces had been moved around, but nothing had been determined as a response from the Secretary of State for Environmental and Rural Affairs, National Planning Casework Unit was pending. AVBC Cllr Gee also said that the proposed development of land at Woodside Farm, would now be subject to Crich Neighbourhood Plan. 1844/18 CHAIR’S ANNOUNCEMENTS Chair advised her announcements would be covered under the individual Agenda Items. 1845/18 MINUTES Resolved: To approve the Minutes of the Parish Council Meeting held on Monday 3rd September 2018. 1846/18 PLANNING Resolved: That the Parish Council representations on planning applications comments made at the meeting be submitted to AVBC.

The result of the Referendum, in relation to the following question: 'Do you want Amber Valley Borough Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Crich to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?' was as follows: • Number of votes cast in favour of a ‘Yes’ 1,094 (97%) • Number of votes cast in favour of a ‘No’ 29 (3%) • Number of ballot papers rejected 1 As more than half of those voting were in favour, the Neighbourhood Plan was, from the 19th September 2018, made part of the Development Plan for the area. AVBC Final Decision Statement circulated to Councillors separately. The Parish Council expresses its gratitude to the members of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group and everyone else who assisted in the preparation of the Neighbourhood Plan. The Clerk to e-mail Chair Council’s appreciation, for forwarding on to the individual Steering Group members. RECREATION GROUND 1849/18 a) PLACE project Cllr Yorke advised there was a PLACE project meeting next week which would include discussing the installation of the ‘Quiet Area’. Peveril Homes had been approached to see if they could help support this stage of the project. The Group would also be discussing the repayment of half the cost of the new bins to the Council. Cllr Yorke had also installed a new bench in memory of his late wife. 1850/18 b) Damaged wall 2 Holly Bank Court, bordering the Recreation Ground. As instructed, on 4th September 2018 the Clerk contacted the Council’s Insurers to enquire whether a claim was being pursued, and if not when they would close the matter. The enquiry had been acknowledged, but no further detail had been received. Resolved: The Clerk to contact the Insurers again for a response. BURIAL GROUND 1851/18 a) Removal of excess spoil by Grave Diggers As instructed, on 4th September 2018 the Clerk contacted all known Funeral Directors and Grave Diggers on record again, and reiterated the message that it was no longer acceptable to deposit excess spoil anywhere in Crich Burial Ground. When making arrangement for grave digging, Funeral Directors must ensure the person undertaking the work adheres to this new rule, as circulated in the Crich Burial Ground Rules and Regulations, Point 12. Signs have been put in place along the right-hand side hedge advising that the tipping of spoil is prohibited. b) Removal of excess spoil tip The local Grave Digger has tidied-up the spoil that has been tipped alongside the right- hand hedge, but it still requires removing in order to avoid further tipping, and to make the area ready for the second Burial Ground extension. Derwent Waste sent a vehicle to remove the spoil, but it was too large to access the Burial Ground, and not suitable for the task. Resolved: The Clerk to obtain quotes for the removal of the spoil with use of a digger. Depositing the spoil into skip, and disposal of spoil. c) Top right-hand side extension Work continues to cultivate the land to the top right-hand side of the Burial Ground. Once it is a similar condition to the rest of the Burial Ground, consecration can be looked into. d) Easement Chair has started to review the documentation relating to the Easement request. She is unclear why the Easement has been asked for, and intends to find out if it is still required. If it is, Chair will make an appointment with the Council’s Solicitors to move this forward. 1852/18 RECREATION GROUND – ASH TREE As agreed, on 11th September 2018 the Clerk has completed the required forms, and sent them together with photos and a map to AVBC, seeking permission to fell the ash tree. The residents have been kept up-to-date with progress. The application has been acknowledged as Ref: TRE/2018/0354. However, the Clerk has requested AVBC change the applicant name to Crich Parish Council, as it has been recorded incorrectly. 1853/18 ALLOTMENTS – BRUSH CUTTER As agreed, the Clerk has placed an order with Twigg for the brush cutter and PPE. On delivery the Clerk has arranged for Twigg to provide a short training session for the volunteer who will be using the equipment. This will ensure operator competency as required by the Insurers. The Clerk will attend the training course, collect the equipment, and deliver it for storage in the Glebe Field Centre basement. The equipment will be booked in/out via a log sheet. The Clerk will also undertake a Risk Assessment for equipment use at the Allotments. The volunteer has been kept up-to-date with progress. 1854/18 DEFIBRILLATORS Clerk’s Report had been circulated with the Agenda. The Clerk met with EMAS on 19th September 2018. Apart from registering defibrillators and advice, EMAS are not able to assist with any other aspects of installation. 1855/18 Crich kiosk - (01773 852221): This kiosk was adopted by The Community Heartbeat Trust (CHBT) in 2014. The Clerk has contacted CHBT to advise that the Council would like to install a defibrillator in the kiosk, and enquire what actions need to be taken to enable this.

Built in simple Gothic architectural style, this three-storey, four bedroom farmhouse has enchanting rural views over the gardens and the Ecclesbourne Valley beyond. With a substantial detached barn, this property sits in a six acre plot and has the potential (subject to planning consents) to offer two or more very attractive properties or annexe accommodation. A successful refurbishment has combined stylish modern interior décor and fittings with the substantial character that abounds in this home. The current owners have utilised the acreage to breed pigs and let chickens roam free and also recently operated as a very successful, small scale B&B. Where is Ashleyhay? A pretty, unspoilt hamlet on the Eastern hillside of the Ecclesbourne Valley. Approximately 13 miles from Derby, 22 from Nottingham, 28 from Sheffield and 26 to East Midlands Airport. The nearby historic market town of Wirksworth is a four minute drive and contains a range of facilities including an independent cinema. The M1 and A38 are about 20 minutes by car and the hub stations of Chesterfield and Derby are within half an hour’s drive. Matlock is just 5 miles away with a large Sainsbury’s store and M&S food hall. Ashbourne is less than 20 minutes by car with its array of independent stores, bars, restaurants and a Waitrose.

  • 1 CRICH to WHATSTANDWELL It Wasn't Going to Rain, It Wasn't to Cold
    Today’s Journey by Michael and Patricia Spencer CRICH to WHATSTANDWELL It wasn't going to rain, it wasn't to cold, it was a good chance to get into the old walking boots and see some more of the county. The problem was where. Crich had been put off more than once so we decided to get it under our belt and decide when we got there which direction to go. Our mate Den, a Cockney exile offered to "dump" us wherever we wanted (next time we're doing the Seychelles) and so to Crich we went. A nice steady drive out to Tansley which a few hundred years ago meant you were in Crich already, it being part of that parish becoming separate around the mid 1840's, then up to Tansley Moor a sharp turn right and on past the old farms of Plaistow Grange and Plaistow House farms. Still looking like old farms should. We come down the hill into the centre of Crich having passed the church further up the hill. The roads in the centre of Crich must be the Spaghetti Junction of Derbyshire, all roads converging from all points of the compass, and standing for all the world like! Something like the City Hall out of Back to the Future, clock and all, is the Crich Baptist Church, it's cloudy but I don't think we will get a lightening strike. With it's double-doored archway and pillars either side it holds up the names on blocks of stone above it, names which include Mr J WILLN of Cromford and Robert WILDGOOSE of Holloway.
