  • Land Off Brook Hill Lane, Dunford Bridge, Barnsley, Sheffield
    2019/1013 Applicant: National Grid Description: Planning application for National Grid's Visual Impact Provision (VIP) project involving the following works:1) Construction of a new sealing end compound, including permanent access; 2) Construction of a temporary haul road from Brook Hill Lane including widened bellmouth; 3) Construction of a temporary Trans Pennine Trail Diversion to be used for approximately 12 - 18 months; following construction approximately 410m of said diversion surface would be retained permanently; and 4) Erection of two bridges (one temporary and one permanent) along the Trans Pennine Trail diversion Site Address: Land off Brook Hill Lane, Dunford Bridge, Barnsley, Sheffield Site Description The site stretches from Dunford Bridge in the Peak District National Park to Wogden Foot LWS approximately 1.8km to the east. With the exception of the sealing end compounds at either end, the site is linear and broadly follows the route of the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT). At Dunford Bridge the site extends to the former rail tunnel entrance and includes the existing sealing end compound located behind properties on Don View. Beyond this is the TPT car park and the TPT itself which is a former rail line running from Dunford Bridge to Penistone; now utilised as a bridleway. The site takes in land adjacent the TPT along which a temporary diverted bridleway route is proposed. In addition, Wogden Foot, a Local Wildlife Site (LWS) located 1.8km to the east is included (in part) as the proposed location of a new sealing end compound; construction access to this from Windle Edge also forms part for the application.

  • Barnsley Permit Scheme Consultation Report
    Barnsley Permit Scheme Consultation Report 1. Introduction On 12 June 2012 Barnsley MBC successfully introduced the Yorkshire Common Permit Scheme operating on type 0, 1, 2 and traffic sensitive streets. To build on this success and to achieve the benefits set out in the CBA, Barnsley Council intends to change the name of the scheme to the Barnsley Permit Scheme (BPS) and extend the scheme to all streets within its adopted highway network. This report is on the consultation for the Barnsley Permit Scheme. 2. Consultees Barnsley Council identified the relevant consultees and stakeholders whom have an interest in the expansion of the BPS. Details of all of the consultees are attached in Appendix A. Barnsley Council analysed their Street Works Register to identify all Statutory Undertakers that had undertaken any work since the commencement of the New Roads and Street Works Act. Following the same process made for the previous permit scheme consultations, every effort has been made to contact all of these organisations to give them the opportunity to take part in the consultation. In addition, Barnsley Council ensured that the adjacent local authorities were included in the consultee list, as well as organisations such as bus operators, freight organisations and emergency services. Wherever possible, an e-mail address for the consultee was obtained. Where no e-mail address was identified, a postal address was obtained. In total 67 consultees were identified and these were contained within the following groupings: Central Government 2 City Region 1 Emergency Services 3 EToN Provider 1 Government Agency 1 Highway Authority 2 Local Authority 12 Local Authority Group 1 Local Interest Group 4 Parish Councils 16 Transport Authority 2 Utility 21 Utility Company Group 1 3.

  • Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M
    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.
