  • 4. Water Resources and Public Water Supply
    Creating the environment for business 4. Water Resources and Public Water Supply In developing a Water Cycle Study it is important to consider the regulatory system in which the water companies in England and Wales operate. Water resources are managed by the Environment Agency in England and Wales, in the form of granting (or refusing) abstraction licences to abstract water for various purposes. Once water has been abstracted from the environment the responsibility for public water supplies is transferred to the water undertakers who have a statutory duty to provide water supplies. There are two water undertakers who supply customers in the study area: Severn Trent Water and South Staffordshire Water. Water resources can constrain development at two levels. At a strategic level, the overall balance between demand for water and the amount of water that is available for supply must be managed to ensure that existing and new homes can continue to be supplied. More locally, the extent and condition of the existing supply infrastructure affects the water companies’ ability to distribute water more locally. Both of these issues are explored in this chapter in relation to the Derby HMA. 4.1 Water Resources Supply and Management Information on public water supply in this area has been taken from the companies’ draft Water Resource Management Plans (dWRMPs) and relevant changes made by the companies to these plans as part of the statutory consultation process that has occurred, as detailed in their respective Statements of Response. Additional data has also been made available specifically for the purpose of this study.

  • Volume 4: Spring Walks
    1 Introduction Welcome to our fourth volume of ‘100 Walks from the Poppy and Pint’. This volume contains Spring Walks for you to enjoy now that the lockdown has eased. I hope that you find it useful. You will find 49 walks in this volume bringing the total number of walks in the series to 150! This volume is quite different to the other volumes. These walks have been specially selected from a wider radius of Lady Bay. This gives us more choice, more variety, and the chance to showcase different areas. Most of the walks start within 30 minutes’ drive from the Poppy and Pint and most are relatively short walks of around two to three hours. All have been chosen because they hold one or more points of interest. Moreover, the paths are quiet, they are varied, and all are on good, waymarked paths. This makes them ideal spring walks just after the lockdown. Being out on the trail in the open air anywhere lifts the spirits, is good for the soul, and gives our lives a different perspective. I think we always feel better when we come back from a walk! Do try it and see! This is the fourth volume of walks to complement Volumes One, Two and Three. Unfortunately, it is not possible to put these four volumes into one tome as the subsequent size of the file would be too big to e mail! When I set myself the challenge of researching and creating 100 local walks, I never actually thought it was possible.

(2) Information and Analysis Derbyshire County Council and Derby City Council (the Councils) are working together to prepare a joint Minerals Local Plan, the Derbyshire and Derby Minerals Local Plan, which will cover the geographical area of Derbyshire and Derby, excluding the Peak District National Park. The Plan period is to 2036. An important aspect of this Plan will be to ensure there is a steady and adequate supply of sand and gravel. This is essential material for the construction industry and is vital for maintaining economic prosperity. This supply will be maintained through existing planning permissions and the provision of new sites. This is constrained by the fact that minerals can only be quarried where they occur which, for Derbyshire and Derby means the sites located in the alluvial sand and gravel area of the Trent, Derwent and Lower Dove Valleys in the south of the Plan area. A revision to national planning policy in 2019 stipulated that local plans should cover a 15 year period from the time of adoption.
