DE4 5BH Proposed to recommend: Objection 1: The siting and design of the proposal will result in a loss of privacy in rear facing rooms, and in the rear gardens, of the adjoining residential properties. 2. The scale and design of the proposal, and choice of facing materials, does not respect the character of surrounding buildings and will lead to a loss of visual amenity in the locality. b) Ref: AVA/2017/0940 Location: Cross Farm, Roes Lane, Crich Matlock, Derbyshire.

If being as close as possible to the farm buildings is important the proposal should be co-located with them.

The built environment consists of the main village of South Wingfield and the smaller hamlets of Oakerthorpe, Four Lane End, Moorwood Moor and Wingfield Park. This visual and physical connections with the landscape are a defining element that give residents and visitors to this area a memorable experience. The future of South Wingfield needs to be carefully managed to ensure its historical uniqueness and built and landscape character are protected.

  • 1 CRICH to WHATSTANDWELL It Wasn't Going to Rain, It Wasn't to Cold
    Today’s Journey by Michael and Patricia Spencer CRICH to WHATSTANDWELL It wasn't going to rain, it wasn't to cold, it was a good chance to get into the old walking boots and see some more of the county. The problem was where. Crich had been put off more than once so we decided to get it under our belt and decide when we got there which direction to go. Our mate Den, a Cockney exile offered to "dump" us wherever we wanted (next time we're doing the Seychelles) and so to Crich we went. A nice steady drive out to Tansley which a few hundred years ago meant you were in Crich already, it being part of that parish becoming separate around the mid 1840's, then up to Tansley Moor a sharp turn right and on past the old farms of Plaistow Grange and Plaistow House farms. Still looking like old farms should. We come down the hill into the centre of Crich having passed the church further up the hill. The roads in the centre of Crich must be the Spaghetti Junction of Derbyshire, all roads converging from all points of the compass, and standing for all the world like! Something like the City Hall out of Back to the Future, clock and all, is the Crich Baptist Church, it's cloudy but I don't think we will get a lightening strike. With it's double-doored archway and pillars either side it holds up the names on blocks of stone above it, names which include Mr J WILLN of Cromford and Robert WILDGOOSE of Holloway.

  • Derwent Valley Line Community Rail Partnership Annual Report 2018-2019
    Derwent Valley Line Community Rail Partnership Annual Report 2018-2019 Read About: Restoring historic stations Station adoption projects Improved access to Whatstandwell Marketing initiatives Derby Resignalling project Whistlestop Café opens at Matlock Bath Station In Bloom Award for Belper Duffield Station Garden completed Whatstandwell Access Improvements Launch of Pentrich Revolution Bicentenary Panel Whatstandwell Station Landscaping Message from the Chair This last year has seen major investment, but also significant disruption of the local railway network in and around Derby. These major projects need to take place and from what I saw and understand, the major upgrade to both Derby station and re-signalling all went to plan. The Derwent Valley Line and our passengers were arguably impacted upon more, than any other route. Yet an enhanced level of rail replacement services for the Derwent Valley, which was well organised and promoted, helped to minimise the impact. During the line closure, I am especially pleased that opportunities have been taken locally to carry out significant improvements at local stations to benefit our passengers. The fantastic restoration of the Whistlestop at Matlock Bath, canopy refurbishment at Matlock, platform enhancements at Cromford and smaller scale improvements and maintenance at Whatstandwell, have all made a real positive impact at our stations. Considerable work has gone on behind the scenes by the Community Rail Partnership working with the rail industry and other local stakeholders to ensure that these local enhancements took place, during this window of opportunity. The partnership has also obtained significant funding to help make many of these projects happen. Working with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, we have brought an additional £40,000 through the rail industry to match Heritage Lottery and others, to enable the long awaited regeneration of the station building.
