  • Dinantian Igneous Rocks of the Peak

    Dinantian Igneous Rocks of the Peak

    th JULY 10 2018 Tuesday Dinantian Igneous Rocks of the Derbyshire Peak District with Adrian Legg ( Member). Industrial Theme – lime, roadstone and railway ballast 12 of us met Adrian at the Peak District National Park car park in Tideswell Dale, on one of our rare meetings out of the county, on a beautiful July day. For those of us travelling over Holme Moss, the journey itself was a worthwhile day out whilst looking forward to seeing igneous rocks which are so rare in Yorkshire Although the Derbyshire Peak District is known for its classic Carboniferous limestone scenery Adrian had spent time researching dolerite, lava and volcanic ash outcrops in the scenic area of Tideswell Dale and Miller’s Dale and very ably explained and demonstrated these to us. We started with a dolerite boulder in the car park, which itself sits on dolerite within an old quarry with a substantial dolerite sill in the trees above us and then by ascending a short way we approached the huge Tideswell Dale Quarry with it’s 30m deep sill face to be examined. All this material was excavated and used for rail ballast and roadstone. We continued down the Dale and alongside the River Wye to Miller’s Dale and ascended to the Station on the abandoned railway now used by walkers and cyclists being on the Monsal Trail where we had lunch in whatever shade we could find. Adrian showed us a further quarry just west of the station before heading across the major viaduct and past an industrial lime kiln beside the railway, being another industrial use of the geology of the area, before reaching our final point of geological interest in a railway cutting before Litton Mill.

    Chapel-En-Le-Frith Parish Neighbourhood Plan Provides a Vision for the Future of the Parish

    Chapel-en-le-Frith Parish NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2013-2028 EXAMINATION VERSION . 1 Introduction A Neighbourhood Plan is a new type of planning document. It is part of the new approach to planning, which aims to give local people more say about what goes on in their area. This is set out in the ‘Localism Act’ that came into force in April 2012. Chapel-en-le-Frith Parish Council wants to ensure that local people are involved in the choices that will help to shape our neighbourhood. This Neighbourhood Plan sets out a vision for the area that reflects the views and feelings of local people with a real interest in their community. It has been produced, after much public consultation, on behalf of Chapel-en-le-Frith Parish Council by Chapel Vision - a volunteer group of local residents from across the Parish. This Neighbourhood Plan has been compiled following an examination of local housing, employment opportunities, including tourism, town and village centres, sustainable transport movement and the countryside within the Parish. The Neighbourhood Plan includes a number of policies for each of these areas, which are discussed within the Plan and listed in Appendix 1. These policies are based on evidence collected by Chapel Vision in the research phase of the compilation of the Neighbourhood Plan, which includes the views of the public. Chapel-en-le-Frith Neighbourhood Plan 2013 – 2028 The Neighbourhood Plan and evidence documents can be viewed via the link from the Parish Council website www.chapel-en-le-frithparishcouncil.gov. uk For any further information please contact: The Clerk to the Parish Council Town Hall Market Street Chapel-en-le-Frith High Peak SK23 0HP Tel: 01298 813320 1 Vision and status of the Neighbourhood Plan The Chapel-en-le-Frith Parish Neighbourhood Plan provides a vision for the future of the Parish.

    SECTION of CROMFORD and HIGH PEAK CANAL RAILWAY Proposed

    PLANNING & DEVEL. SERVICES H.E.R. STATEMENT : SECTION OF CROMFORD and HIGH PEAK CANAL RAILWAY Proposed Residential Development on land at Gisborne Yard, Old Road Whaley Bridge, High Peak [Outline Planning Application with all matters reserved] Peter D. Dalton BA (Dunelm) MRTPI, BSc Architectural Technology, MSc Technical Architecture 18th February 2013 The Application and the Historic Route of the Canal Railway A section of the route of the former Whaley Bridge canal basin to Cromford canal railway (referred to as the Cromford and High Peak railway) runs north south through the application site close to the eastern boundary. The features which have been identified as important to protect are :‐ a) the (buried) track bed which forms the access road along Caldene Terrace and continues through the Yard close to the eastern boundary b) the retaining wall along the eastern boundary and c) the buried tunnel/bridge beneath the Buxton to Manchester railway line (see Appendix 1 : Extract from the Monument Report compiled and supplied by Derbyshire County Council, Conservation Officer). The speculative scheme illustrated in the design and access statement demonstrates that a scheme for the residential development of the land at Gisbourne Yard could be achieved without compromising the route of the original canal railway or any of the features in the Monument Report (see Appendix 1). Recommendations in regard to the treatment of these features are made in the Statement. The Policy Famework The Saved Local Plan Policy relevant to the application is:‐ Policy 25 BC10 - ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND OTHER HERITAGE FEATURES Planning Permission will not be granted for development which is likely to result in harm to a Scheduled Ancient Monument or other nationally important site, its setting or amenity value.

The hotel with its stunning grounds, lounges, restaurant and indoor swimming pool provides an excellent location for exploring the highlights of the Peak District. The Walks Cromford, near Matlock is an excellent centre for exploring the outstanding natural beauty of the Dales. All the best walking is easily accessible as are such man made highlights as Chatsworth House and the town of Bakewell. Our three walks feature one of the three major rivers in the area – the Derwent, the Wye and the Dove. Each walk has a shorter and longer version and ends in a town or village where traditional English afternoon tea can be taken or a pub can be visited. Every evening, your tour leader will discuss with you the programme for the following day. If you do not wish to join the organised group programme, please let the leader know. Whilst every effort will be made to adhere to the outlined itinerary and advertised programme, local conditions can change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. This may mean that routes and timings need to be amended or the order of days may change at short notice.
  • Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England

    Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England

    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated.
