Quiz Night “That chimney, up on the top of the hill, every time I come to visit, it Stiperstones Inn gets smaller” he said. Last Monday 8.00pm I looked up at the Resting Hill chimney, standing tall (but not as tall as I remember) above the Upper Works mine site that Bernard was Knitter Natter Stiperstones Inn pointing at. Tuesdays from 10.00am “Hmm, now he mentions it, it does look smaller than I remember it” I thought. Yoga “So why is it getting smaller?” he insisted. Snailbeach Village Hall “It can’t be getting smaller, can it?” I protested. “That’s just daft!” Tuesdays & Wednesdays But I looked again and it was. The Resting House chimney, the 10.00am biggest (but apparently getting smaller by the day), and perhaps the most distinguished landmark of Snailbeach, visible from as far away Iyengar Yoga as Worthen, is indeed getting smaller. Snailbeach Village Hall “It’s the trees” he said. “They need to cut those trees back. Couple Tuesday 7.00pm more years and you won’t be able to see that chimney.” He was right. Living here I hadn’t noticed, but the trees are slowly, Snailbeach & Stiperstones Baby sneakily and imperceptibly obscuring the view of our once tall, & Toddler Group Thursdays 10am ‐12am historic monument to mining. So, are we to let nature take its wicked Snailbeach Village Hall way and deprive us of our chimney that once stood proudly against the skyline? Are we to condemn it to obscurity, like an ancient Inca Ballroom Dancing temple, lost in the drowning green vegetation of time, or are we to Snailbeach Village Hall petition the custodians of the trees to cut back the greenery and let the 1st & 3rd Thursdays full magnificence of the edifice feel, once again, the sun bathe its From 7.30pm orange brickwork?

Snailbeach District News - Issue 353 Page 4 November 2018 The Rock The end of the line t the southern end of the Stiperstones Ridgeline lies “The Rock”. I’ve never been sure whether Athis is fabulously descriptive nomenclature for this final massive pile of shattered quartz, or just the practical nature of Shropshire breaking through and calling a spade a bloody shovel. Either way The Rock is the end of the line for both the Tors and the mines of the Stiperstones. The mine here was never successful, still the workings are about 500 feet deep (It takes about 6 seconds for a dropped stone to reach the bottom) and the area around the rock is peppered with small man made depressions and sink holes - This is definitely a place where you should try to stick to the path if only there was a path to stick to. Above the mine itself is an un-named little outcropping of rocks, inside the natural fortress is a small grassed area slightly protected from the wind perfect for a little picnic whilst admiring the view across to the Linley Beeches. The area around the rock was deforested about 12 years ago and the little black sheep have been living up there eating the fresh shoots of conifers which have tried to break through ever since. As a result both the Whinberry and the Cranberry bushes have come back and now you can barely see the tree-stumps for the foliage - though it is still very easy to trip over a root if you’re not paying attention. The rock is a great place for viewing kites & buzzards, the trees down in the valley below provide roosting sites whilst the fields and heathland provide ample hunting ground. The Rock itself stands above a steep drop in the hill and so whilst from the North it isn’t very tall at all, from the South Side it towers over the path and its steep southerly scree slope offers very little opportunity for vegetation.

    Appeal Decision Site visit made on 22 March 2019 by D Child BA BPL MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State Decision date: 24 February 2020 Appeal Ref: APP/L3245/W/18/3207878 Land off Shop Lane, Snailbeach, Shrewsbury, Shropshire SY5 0NX • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) against a refusal to grant planning permission. • The appeal is made by Mr Alan Hughes against the decision of Shropshire Council. • The application Ref 17/06003/FUL, dated 29 November 2017, was refused by notice dated 13 March 2018. • The development proposed is the replacement of an existing touring caravan with a new caravan for occupation as a dwelling. Decision 1. The appeal is dismissed. Procedural Matter 2. The application and the Council’s decision were made prior to July 2018. The submissions of both parties therefore refer to the National Planning Policy Framework published in March 2012. However, I have had regard to the revised Framework 2019 (the Framework) in reaching my decision. Main Issues 3. The main issues are: • The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the countryside, having particular regard to the location of the development and the landscape of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB); • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the Snailbeach Conservation Area (the CA) and the setting of the Snailbeach Lead Mine Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM) heritage assets; • The effect of the development upon Highway safety, having particular regard to access and delivery arrangements; and • The effect of the development upon the adjacent Special Area of Conservation (the SAC) and Site of Special Scientific Interest (the SSSI).

A new open-market dwelling in this location beyond the established built-up areas of the settlements of Snailbeach and Crowsnest would be contrary to Policies CS1, CS4, CS5 and CS11 of the Shropshire Local Development Framework Adopted Core Strategy, and would not represent sustainable development under the National Planning Policy Framework. 2. The further encroachment of sporadic ribbon development into the essentially open and rural landscape which currently separates the settlements of Snailbeach and Crowsnest would detract from the setting of the Snailbeach Conservation Area and the character and scenic quality of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework and Policies CS6 and CS17 of the Shropshire Local Development Framework Adopted Core Strategy. 3. On account of its elevation above the adjacent highway the development would appear unduly prominent and overbearing.

The Golden Arrow © Gordon Dickens 1 Introduction Shropshire possesses one of the richest and most varied landscapes of any of the English counties. It offers a diverse range of scenery: from the lakes and rolling pasturelands around Ellesmere in the north, to the gaunt moorlands of the Clee Hills, with their stark industrial ruins, in the south; the densely wooded scarps of Wenlock Edge; or the straight, sandy lanes of the north-eastern heathlands, with their large arable fields and ‘big skys’.
