  • Advisory Visit River Noe, Derbyshire July 2018
    Advisory Visit River Noe, Derbyshire July 2018 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Noe, Edale, Derbyshire on 10th July, 2018. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with the landowner. Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The River Noe is located in north Derbyshire, within the Peak District National Park, close to Ladybower Reservoir. It rises in the Vale of Edale near Kinder Scout and flows south-east to join the River Derwent a short distance downstream of Ladybower Reservoir dam. Angling on much of the river is controlled by Peak Forest Angling Club (PFAC) and the Wild Trout Trust have carried out previous advisory and practical visits to other sections of the river on behalf of the club. This visit was at the request of the adjacent landowner who has recently acquired a property alongside this section of river; this section of river forms part of Beat 11 of PFAC’s fishery. The River Noe is an upland river, running off the shales and sandstones of the Dark Peak. It has good water quality and generally good in-stream habitat, which support healthy stocks of wild brown trout and, in the lower reaches, grayling. This is reflected in the environmental monitoring data collected by the Environment Agency (Table 1).

  • Outside Research and Development
    Settlement summaries and recommendation for development strategy. This paper provides a snapshot of the settlements named in the development strategy (DS1) It pulls together the evidence and opinion and uses this to outline development expectations for each settlement. In early 2010, The Authority gave all Parish Councils the opportunity to add to this evidence and influence the development strategy. The statements therefore present a balanced approach based on evidence, planning and conservation officers’ views, parish council views. The statements were made available to National Park Authority members alongside the complete draft LDF Core Strategy for their consideration at the May 2010 meeting of the full National Park Authority. The development expectations for all settlements have therefore been agreed by the Authority. Alstonefield Alstonefield is about 5 miles from Ashbourne. It has about 190 people, a community hall, a place of worship, a playground, a sports field, and a mobile library service but it lacks a regular food shop, a good bus service, or post office. Residents value the pleasant and well maintained green areas; and a good mix of people creating a friendly atmosphere and good community spirit. They also value the landscape and the feeling that it is less crowded than other areas. The retired population is higher than the National Park average at almost 50% but the number of housing association units and private lets is lower than the National Park average. Most people own their homes outright and those with a mortgage pay at least £400 per month with a significant percentage paying over £1000 per month1.

REFERENCES 32 Acknowledgements The organisers are grateful to: The British Geological Survey for Figures 2 and 19, Maurice Gregory for permission to visit Eldon Hill Quarry, John Harrison for permission to visit Peak Cavern, and Peter Harrison for permission to visit Russet Well. Cover photographs A common perception of the Peak District karst hydrogeology is that it is dominated by sinking streams that feed caves which in turn discharge substantial flows of water from large springs such as Peak Cavern Rising (left). However, over much of the area where limestones crop out there is only dispersed autogenic recharge through a soil cover and surprisingly little evidence of karstic drainage, particularly at depth. During the excavation of stone from Ballidon Quarry in the southern White Peak no caves were encountered and the 100m of limestone exposure (right) shows only an epikarst below which there are no visible conduits and nothing to suggest concentrated drainage.
