The proposed site is at Meaford Business Park (MBP) in the Borough of Stafford, between Barlaston and Stone in Staffordshire. 1.2 In response to this Application, Staffordshire County Council and Stafford Borough Council (SCC and SBC) have submitted a Local Impact Report (LIR) in accordance with section 60 of the Planning Act 2008 (as amended). Section 60(3) of the 2008 Act defines an LIR as ‘a report in writing giving details of the likely impact of the proposed development on the authority’s area (or any part of that area)’. 1.3 In April 2012 the Planning Inspectorate (PINS) published Advice note one: Local Impact Reports (version 2) to guide the preparation and submission of LIRs. According to this advice note, topics that might be of assistance for an LIR to cover include: • site description and surroundings/location • details of the proposal • relevant planning history and any issues arising • relevant development plan policies, supplementary planning guidance or documents, development briefs or approved master-plans and an appraisal of their relationship and relevance to the proposals • relevant development proposals under consideration or granted permission but not commenced or completed • local area characteristics such as urban and landscape qualities and nature conservation sites • local transport patterns and issues • site and area constraints • designated sites 3 APPLICANT’S COMMENTS ON THE LOCAL IMPACT REPORT u MEAFORD ENERGY CENTRE • socio-economic and community matters • consideration of the impact of the proposed articles and requirements within the draft order (such as the scheme) in respect of all of the above • DCO obligations and their impact on the local authority’s area. 1.4 Advice note one notes that this list is neither exhaustive nor prescriptive. Local authorities should cover any topics they consider relevant to the impact of the proposed development on their area. 1.5 SCC and SBC submitted their LIR by the specified deadline of 28 September 2015. In a letter of 1 October 2015, PINS set out a revised timetable for the examination of MEL’s application. Comments on the LIR were invited by 22 October 2015, and this report forms MEL’S response to this. COMMON GROUND 1.6 Concurrently with the preparation of this report, MEL has agreed a Statement of Common Ground (SoCG), dated 16 October 2015, with SCC and SBC. This sets out the matters that are agreed between the parties in relation to the Application. The agreed SoCG addresses issues raised in SCC and SBC’s LIR, SCC’s Written Representation and SCC and SBC’s answers to the ExA’s First Questions, which were submitted at Deadline 2 on 28 September 2015. The SoCG should be read in conjunction with this report. STRUCTURE OF THIS REPORT 1.7 For ease of cross-reference, this report follows the structure of the LIR. In each section, paragraph numbers from the LIR are cited on the left, with MEL’s comments set out on the right. 4 MEAFORD ENERGY CENTRE u APPLICANT’S COMMENTS ON THE LOCAL IMPACT REPORT Two u Applicant’s comments on the LIR LIR SECTION 1.0: PURPOSE OF THE REPORT 1.1 – 1.2 No comment. LIR SECTION 2.0: SITE DESCRIPTION AND SURROUNDINGS 2.1 – 2.4 No comment. LIR SECTION 3.0: DETAILS OF THE PROPOSAL 3.1 No comment. 3.2 The LIR suggests that the Scheme is on the site of a former power station. As explained and illustrated on pp 26-27 of the Applicant’s Design and Access Statement (document reference. 5.3) and acknowledged in LIR para. 6.5.2, there were two coal-fired power stations on the site. Meaford ‘A’ closed in 1974 and was demolished in 1982. Meaford ‘B’ closed in 1990 and was largely demolished by the late 1990s. 3.3 – 3.4 No comment. 3.5 The LIR states that ‘. the proposed gas connection would be located on the western side of the West Coast Main Line . .’. Whereas this is generally the case, it should be noted that the Above Ground Installation (AGI) (identified as Work no. 2A in Schedule 1 of the draft DCO (document reference 3.1)) at which the connection with the gas distribution network would be made, and the first section of pipeline between the AGI and the Power Station Complex (a part of Work no. 2B in Schedule 1 of the draft DCO), would be to the east of the West Coast Main Line. The Gas Connection would cross the West Coast Main Line by means of an existing bridge (Railway Bridge 104) over which pulverised fuel ash from the coal-fired power stations was once conveyed. 3.6-3.8 No comment. 5 APPLICANT’S COMMENTS ON THE LOCAL IMPACT REPORT u MEAFORD ENERGY CENTRE LIR SECTION 4.0: RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY 4.1-4.2 No comment. LIR SECTION 5.0: POLICY FRAMEWORK 5.1: National Planning Policy Framework 5.1.1 – 5.1.13 No comment. 5.2: The Plan for Stafford Borough 2011-2031 5.2.1 – 5.2.23 No comment. 5.3: Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Joint Waste Local Plan 2010-2026 5.3.1 – 5.3.3 No comment. General The Applicant’s Planning Statement (document reference 5.2) reviews the Scheme in the light of relevant planning policies, plans, strategies and guidance, in order to examine the extent to which the Scheme would comply with identified requirements at the national and local level. LIR SECTION 6.0: ASSESSMENT OF PROSPECTIVE IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT 6.1: Socio-economic 6.1.1 – 6.1.22 No comment. GENERAL Requirement 18: Local economic benefit in Schedule 2 of the draft DCO (document reference 3.1) makes provision for the submission and approval of ‘a scheme for the promotion of local economic benefit from the authorised development in the area of Staffordshire’. 6.2: Transport and traffic 6.2.1 No comment. 6.2.2 Requirement 10: Construction traffic in Schedule 2 of the draft DCO (document reference 3.1) makes provision for the submission and approval of a Construction Traffic Management Plan that must include: (b) construction vehicle traffic routing; (c) details of a HGV vehicle booking management system; (d) site access plans and 24 hour access arrangements. 6 MEAFORD ENERGY CENTRE u APPLICANT’S COMMENTS ON THE LOCAL IMPACT REPORT HGVs will be routed along Meaford Road directly to and from the A34 in accordance with the routing plan included with the Application (document reference 6.3.6, figures 7.3 and 7.4). Upon completion of the Southern Access Road, in particular the new roundabout on the A34/Meaford Road junction, HGVs approaching the Site from the south will turn right at the new roundabout rather than proceeding north and circulating around the Meaford gyratory system as shown on figure 7.3. HGVs leaving the site and heading north will turn right at the new roundabout on the A34/Meaford Road junction rather than turning left and proceeding south to the Stone roundabout, as shown on figure 7.4. The Applicant considers that these provisions represent a satisfactory response to the Councils’ concern to manage construction traffic and its routing. 6.3: Air quality 6.3.1-6.3.6 No comment. 6.4: Noise and vibration 6.4.1 The LIR refers to online research undertaken by the Councils concerning the generic sources of operational noise at a CCGT power station. With one exception, all of the noise sources identified in the LIR are included in table 9.1 of chapter 9 of the Main ES (document reference 6.2.9), which identifies a longer list of noise emitting structures. The exception is what the LIR refers to as ‘gas release vented to the atmosphere’. Gas is a valuable fuel source and would not be vented to the atmosphere. It should be noted also that the Councils’ list of noise sources does not take into account plant design and mitigation to attenuate noise from the Power Station Complex. 6.4.2 Paragraphs 9.148 – 9.151 in chapter 9 of the Main ES (document reference 6.2.9) describe the generic noise mitigation.

Licence number AL50684A 42180/01/SPM/CR [Reference] Stafford Borough Council : Economic and Housing Development Needs Assessment Executive Summary Housing Market Area / Functional Economic Market Area Over the past ten years or so, the Borough has experienced a strengthening level of self-containment, with migratory patterns expanding and more people moving into the Borough from the adjoining Staffordshire authorities than before. There are very strong migration links between the Borough, Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme. The Borough has a self-containment rate of 71% for in-migration, and 73% for out- migration when short household moves are considered and therefore exceeds the threshold for a self- contained Housing Market Area (HMA) set out previously in the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). Median house prices vary significantly across the Borough, but are in line with those in adjacent areas in neighbouring local authorities. As the Borough is a predominantly rural district with overlapping HMAs and a number of other authorities nearby, it is considered both reasonable and pragmatic to take the administrative boundaries of the Borough as being a ‘best fit’ HMA for planning purposes. ONS Travel to Work Areas [TTWA] suggests that the Borough is a self-contained TTWA, albeit with some overlap with the Wolverhampton TTWA to the south.

  • Industrial Railway Record
    INDUSTRIAL RAILWAY RECORD The Quarterly Journal of the INDUSTRIAL RAILWAY SOCIETY COMBINED INDEX SECOND EDITION Volumes 1 to 16 1962 – 2007 RECORD No.1 to No.189 Assembled & Edited by Vic Bradley On behalf of the Combo Index Production Team for the benefit of all readers of this magazine. CORRECTIONS, GLITCHES, ERRORS and OMISSIONS are kept to a minimum but may still inevitably occur in a work of this nature. If you spot anything that you think needs attention, PLEASE DO SEND details of this to us ideally by email addressed to v.bradley[at]virgin.net www.irsociety.co.uk IRRNDX20.doc updated 22-Mar-2008 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the sixteen separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of some 45 years by a number of different people each using different technologies. Only in recent times have computers been used for indexing but, even for these, the computer files could not be traced with the exception of those for volumes 14 to 16. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 13 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project appeared out of the E-mail Group Internet Chat Site which is hosted by the IRS, and a special thankyou is certainly due to Richard Bowen, David Kitching, Martin Murray, Ken Scanes and John Scotford who each handled OCR and proofing of several indexes, to complete digital recovery of the individual published index texts for Volumes 1 to 13.
