2019 Air Quality Annual Status Report (ASR) Derbyshire Dales District Council 2019 Air Quality Annual Status Report (ASR) In fulfilment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management June 2019 LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 Derbyshire Dales District Council Local Authority Karen Carpenter Officer Department Regulatory Services Town Hall, Bank Road, Matlock, Derbyshire. Address DE4 3NN Telephone 01629 761212 E-mail [email protected] Report Reference n/a number Date June 2019 LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 Derbyshire Dales District Council Executive Summary: Air Quality in Our Area Air Quality in Derbyshire Dales District Council Air pollution is associated with a number of adverse health impacts. It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. There is also often a strong correlation with equalities issues, because areas with poor air quality are also often the less affluent areas 1,2. The annual health cost to society of the impacts of particulate matter alone in the UK is estimated to be around £16 billion 3. Derbyshire Dales is primarily a rural area with a total population in the region of 70,000. The total area of the District is approximately 780 square kilometres and half of the District is within the Peak District National Park. The District is situated within the East Midlands and is bounded by the local councils of High Peak Borough, Sheffield City, North East Derbyshire District, Amber Valley Borough, South Derbyshire District, East Staffordshire District and Staffordshire Moorlands District. There is a strong tradition of agricultural and a long history of mineral extraction. Vein minerals are still extracted today, primarily to provide fluorspar for use in the chemical and steel industries and limestone is extensively quarried for aggregate. Where the purity of calcium carbonate is high, fine powders are produced for use in industries such as glass making, foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals. Light industry has developed at a number of sites, notably the Airfield Industrial Estate in Ashbourne. During 2018 we regulated 57 installations under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016. The road network in the District is extensive with the A623, A6, A52 and A50 acting as important links between the North West and the East Midlands, although there are no 1 Environmental equity, air quality, socioeconomic status and respiratory health, 2010 2 Air quality and social deprivation in the UK: an environmental inequalities analysis, 2006 3 Defra.

The Hope Valley railway line passes through the north of the District and local trains serve Grindleford and Hathersage, and Matlock is the terminus of a branch line from Derby. Peak Rail is a voluntary organisation that operates trains on a five kilometre section of track between Matlock and Rowsley South using steam and diesel traction. The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway is operating part of the branch line between Wirksworth and Duffield. Derbyshire Dales also has a large lead smelting business in the area, H.J.Enthoven & Sons. H.J.Enthoven & Sons is an A1 process regulated by the Environment Agency under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016 and is the largest single site producer of recycled lead in Europe. Lead levels have declined significantly in recent times due to work undertaken by the company. Nitrogen oxide diffusion tubes continue to be used and levels remain consistent for most sites, however a newly deployed tube in the Ashbourne area has shown elevated levels and so further tubes are to be deployed in the area. This will be undertaken with a view to carrying out a detailed assessment following a suitable period of monitoring, dependant on results. Actions to Improve Air Quality Air Quality in Derbyshire Dales is generally good, however, Derbyshire Dales District Council has this year incorporated climate change as one of the priority objectives. This will hopefully have a positive influence on air quality in the area as associated actions are implemented. One such are is the review of diesel operated ice cream vans in our parks. It is proposed to review the current contracts, and when they are next issued provide incentives to change to electric powered units. In addition, the East Midlands Air Quality Planning Guide has recently been finalised and we are working towards this being implemented through the planning system in all local authorities in the region, including Derbyshire Dales. Additional Nox tubes are to be deployed in Ashbourne and Matlock, and further existing ones re-located. LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 4 Derbyshire Dales District Council Conclusions and Priorities In the coming year we are increasing our monitoring of Nitrogen Oxides in Ashbourne and Matlock. A large scale planning application has been submitted although not yet approved in Matlock for a mixed use housing and commercial site which was supported with an EIA. On consultation advice was provided in line with the East Midlands Air Quality planning guide. Local Engagement and How to get Involved Information about air quality is available on our website at http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/environment-and-waste/pollution-noise/air- pollution. Derbyshire County Council; Endorsement from the Director of Public Health Air pollution has a significant effect on public health, and poor air quality is the largest environmental risk to public health in the UK. Long-term exposure to air pollution has been shown to reduce life expectancy, due to its impact on cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and lung cancer. Many everyday activities such as transport, industrial processes, farming, energy generation and domestic heating can have a detrimental effect on air quality. The annual status report is fundamental to ensuring the monitoring of trends and identification of areas of local air pollution exposure. The cumulative effect of a range of interventions has the greatest potential to reduce local air pollution and improve population health, as such the annual status report and associated action plans provide an opportunity to engage a range of partners. Public health will continue work with partners to advocate for improvements in Air Quality and provide expertise and evidence to inform policy.

  • Castleton Parish Statement (Draft)
    Castleton Parish Statement (draft) Introduction Castleton is a vibrant village in the heart of the magnificent Peak District National Park. It has a rich blend of history in the centre of one of the most popular locations for walkers, whether they are casual walkers or experienced fell trekkers. There is a range of pubs, cafes, and other eating places to suit everyone's tastes during and at the end of an active day. Geography Castleton village is situated at the head of the Hope Valley. It straddles the white peak (limestone to the south) and the dark peak (millstone grit to the north). It is right at the heart of some of the most attractive scenery in the Peak District National Park (PDNP). Mam Tor and Lose Hill look down on the village and the iconic Winnats Pass which is on one of two roads in/out of the village. Winnats Pass provides access to the west – Buxton, Chapel-en-le- Frith, Manchester and Manchester Airport. The other road in/out of Castleton is down the Hope Valley to Hope village, Hathersage, Sheffield and Derby. Castleton Parish Statement (draft) History Looking down on Castleton is Peveril Castle which dates from the 11th Century and was built to protect the local lead mining and hunting. Lead mining was carried out by the Romans. A small settlement (Pechesers) was recorded at Peak Cavern in 1086 (The Domesday Book) and the planned village was probably laid out in the 12th century. Villagers There are between 500 and 600 permanent residents, there are many elderly residents and only a few families with children.

  • Baslow Revisited –
    – BASLOW REVISITED – MEMORIES FROM THE EARLIER YEARS OF DAVID CARTLEDGE Page 2 of 12 David Cartledge – Baslow revisited The journey begins at Rock End, and what better point at which to start than at the Peacock Inn at Owler Bar. Over the door, letters some fifteen inches high proclaimed the name of the Landlord as JOHN H. BROUGHAM, known locally as Johnnie Brougham, whilst beneath it the name of the hostelry struggled for existence in small letters. On the way don the hill towards Baslow there is on the left, about two hundred yards before the turn to Barlow, a level piece of ground. Here stood the house of the gamekeeper, Martin Slack. The last keeper to live there was David Sheldon, who afterwards went to live in the row of cottages opposite the Church. Proceeding down the main road to Baslow, just opposite Rock End on the right, can be seen another level piece of land. I remember a building standing there, which I was given to understand, was where they used to smelt lead. Further down the hill to Baslow, on the left, lived a Mr. John Beswick in one of a pair of houses called Cupola Cottages. A working man, but a true gentleman, he knew every herb and tree in the district and was a firm believer in the healing power of herbs. He was familiar with every public footpath on the moors and kept them clean with his scythe. After he died, Page Mackenzie went to live in his cottage. Around that time a Mr.
