In order to comply with the requirements of the Town and Country Planning Act. 2 The development must be carried out in complete accordance with the approved submitted documents unless otherwise authorised in writing by the Local Planning Authority. In order to define the permission. 3 The proposed facing materials shall match the facing materials to the existing building. In the interests of the visual amenities of the locality. 4 The ground floor of the building shall be used for the sale of takeaway hot food between 0700 hours and 0100 hours the following day Mondays to Sundays, for a period of one year from the date of this decision and deliveries of hot food from the premises shall take place between the hours of 0700 hours and 0200 hours the following day, Mondays to Sundays, for a period of one year from the date of this decision. Following this trial period the hours of use shall only be between 0700 hours and 0030 hours the following day on any day In the interests of the amenities of the locality and occupiers of adjoining property. 5 No deliveries to the building shall be carried out between 2300 hours to 0700 hours Mondays to Saturdays and 2300 hours to 0900 hours Sundays and Public Holidays. In the interests of the amenities of the locality and occupiers of adjoining property. 6 The proposed replacement extract flue shall terminate 1 metre above the second floor eaves, as shown on the submitted drawing. In the interests of the amenities of the locality and occupiers of adjoining property. 7 The ground floor of the building shall not be used for the sale of take-away hot food unless the proposed replacement extract flue, as indicated on the submitted drawing, no. 4547-A5-03 Rev A, has been fitted with a low resistance cowl and thereafter flue with low resistance cowl shall be retained. In the interests of the amenities of the locality and occupiers of adjoining property. 8 The details in respect of the proposed 2 wall mounted compressors as indicated on the submitted drawing, no. 4547-A5-03 Rev A are not approved. Before the development is commenced, details including specifications and the relocation of the proposed compressors shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority 8 and thereafter the compressors shall be installed in accordance with the approved details and thereafter retained. In the interests of the amenities of the locality and occupiers of adjoining property. 9 The details in respect of the proposed entrance into the building from West Street as indicated on the submitted drawings are not approved. The ground floor of the building shall not be used for the sale of take-away hot food unless a level threshold has been provided to the entrance thereto in accordance with details to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority and thereafter such level threshold shall be retained. To ensure ease of access and facilities for disabled persons at all times. Attention is drawn to the following justifications: 1. The decision to grant permission and impose any conditions has been taken having regard to the relevant policies and proposals from the Yorkshire and Humber Plan, (also taking into account the Secretary of State's, stated intention to abolish Regional Strategies) the Sheffield Development Framework and the Unitary Development Plan set out below: S3 - Development in the Central Shopping Core S10 - Conditions on Development in Shopping Areas The principle has already been established in respect of the use of the ground floor of the building as a hot food takeaway (Class A5), by virtue of an existing planning permission (09/03572/FUL). An extension of opening hours to 0100 hours during the week is unlikely to have a detrimental impact on existing residents in the locality. However, the proposal also incorporates a delivery service until 0200 hours, which does raise concerns in respect of residential amenity. A new apartment block, which is immediately adjacent to the site, is not yet occupied, and given that there is external plant to the rear, which will be in use for an extended period, this is likely to impact on adjacent residents. It is therefore recommended that planning permission be granted on a temporary basis, to allow an assessment of the impact of the extended hours and delivery facility on existing and future residents within the locality. The proposal is unlikely to have a detrimental impact such that residents will be adversely affected. On this basis, the application is considered to accord with Unitary Development Plan Policies S3 and S10, The Devonshire Quarter Action Plan (Adopted 2001), City Centre Living Strategy (Adopted 2004) and the Interim Late Night Planning Guidance (Adopted 2005). This explanation is only intended as a summary of the reasons for grant of planning permission. For further detail on the decision please see the 9 application report at www.sheffield.gov.uk/planningonline or by calling the Planning Help Line at (0114) 273 4215. Attention is drawn to the following directives: 1. The applicant is advised that condition No(s) 1-3 and 5-9 were imposed by planning permission No. 09/03572/FUL and are reproduced on this notice to provide you with a complete record of all conditions, regardless of whether some may have already been discharged. 2. The applicant should be aware that Condition nos. 8 and 9 imposed on planning permission 09/03572/FUL have already been discharged. 10 Site Location © Crown copyright. All rights reserved. 10018816. 2005 11 INTRODUCTION Members may recall an earlier application on this site (09/03572/FUL) for the use of the ground floor restaurant as a hot food takeaway. This was granted conditionally in January 2010. The existing hours of opening for the premises are 0900 hours until 2300 hours, on any day. LOCATION AND PROPOSAL The application site lies within a High Amenity Zone of the Central Shopping Area, as defined in the Unitary Development Plan and relates to the premises, now known as Domino’s Pizza. The property is situated midway within an existing parade of commercial buildings. The ground floor of the building is used as a hot food takeaway, with the basement used for ancillary storage and associated facilities. The upper floor has previously been used as a restaurant, but is no longer in use.

  • Waterways & Standing Water
    Waterways & Standing Water Headlines • Sheffield’s rivers and the quality of their waters have undergone vast improvements in recent decades, resulting in a substantial increase in biodiversity. • The current ecological status of Sheffield’s rivers is variable; assessments conducted by the Environment Agency show that most stretches are of an overall moderate status. Quality improves with increasing distance from central industrialised areas. • Otter and several fish species have now returned to the Don as a result of improving water quality and the installation of fish passes. Twenty-six out of 31 species of fish historically found on the Don have now recolonised the river. • Reservoirs, such as Redmires, have proved hugely important for many species of breeding birds including curlew, golden plover and snipe. • Local ponds provide important habitats for species such as great crested newts and dragonflies and many have benefitted from recent restoration work. Dragonfly diversity has significantly increased, partly due to improvements in water quality and associated emergent waterside vegetation. • Threats to Sheffield’s waterways and wetlands include pollution, physical modification of the river and invasive species. Non-native invasive species which have a stronghold on Sheffield’s river systems include Japanese knotweed, Himalayan balsam, signal crayfish and American mink. • Several organisations are involved in the ownership and management of the waterways and there are successful examples of partnership working. Key non-native invasive plants are the focus of ongoing conservation management aimed to control their spread.

  • Neighbourhood Plan HOUSING AREAS CHARACTER APPRAISAL
    DORE NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN HOUSING WORKING GROUP VILLAGE HOUSING AREAS CHARACTER APPRAISAL MARCH 2017 Housing Areas Appraisal The Housing Working Group undertook a character appraisal of Dore Village’s housing areas to provide a basis for developing a policy for safeguarding the character or the Village’s housing areas. The Working Group identified eight housing sub-areas based on their location, topography, period of development and general housing density. Three main factors formed the basis of the character appraisal; 1. The concentration of features that are distinctive to Sheffield and which should be safeguarded as part of the South-West Area of Sheffield, in accordance with CS Policy 31 Housing in the South-West, in particular the area’s natural setting, the open spaces, trees and mature gardens and the stone-built houses of the older suburbs. 2. The main townscape features including urban grain. 3. Architectural character including housing type, height, massing and materials The appraisal may be useful as supplementary planning guidance for making decisions on new housing infill and extensions Map of Village Housing Sub Areas Village Housing Sub-areas Area Housing Sub-area Net Dwellings Density Area(ha) (dw/ha) HA 1 Dore Road, Victor Road, Cavendish Avenue Area 34 334 10 Characteristic housing 1. The natural features include views of and access to the adjacent Green Belt and Ecclesall Woods, the amenity of the open spaces of Water Lane, Abbeydale Sports Club and Dore Road Allotments. The area has many trees and large mature gardens. Cavendish Avenue in particular has mature horse-chestnut trees in the highway verges.

  • The Yorkshire River Don and Its Tributaries Synopsis the Document
    The Yorkshire River Don and its Tributaries Synopsis The document describes a virtual journey along the River Don beginning at its source; the perspective is as much historical as descriptive of the current scene. Where significant tributaries join the river, they also are tracked back to their start-points. Particular attention is paid to bridges and watermills because of their intimate associations with the rivers, but nearby buildings, both religious and secular are also given attention. Some people have been specially important to developments associated with the river, and brief biographical notes are provided for them. Finally, I would stress that this is very much a personal account dealing with a river system which I encountered often during my working life and afterwards. Document Navigation I do not provide either a contents list, or an index, but to aid navigation through the document here are page numbers, on which some places appear first in the text.

The Bibliography is on Page 43. 1 The Yorkshire River Don and its Tributaries The historical journey I describe is in an important sense virtual, in that I have not travelled along much of the river and its tributaries. The sites of interest dealt with in this account, have been picked out and viewed on separate visits.

These respective manors were in existence prior to the Norman Conquest 1066 A.D. hence, it is not difficult to find justification for writing a book about a residential area which has been occupied for an unknown number of centuries and which under modern conditions is now rapidly losing its ancient rural individuality and rustic charm through the extensive building schemes which are being carried out in the area. The miscellaneous types of houses which are rapidly enclosing the old stone mansions, farms and cottages, are giving a new appearance to these old time rural areas .... The only redeeming feature is that their southern and south-western boundaries are on what is known as “ The Green Belt," so called, because of its hilly surroundings of moors, woodlands and agricultural land.

It was as we were discussing and planning the book that we started to realise what we had taken on; and as the months passed, we became even more aware of the scale of the task, especially as we were determined to produce a quality book. If we have achieved our objective, it has been in no small measure due to the help and assistance we have received from a variety of Dore residents, all on a voluntary basis. We would like to start by recording our thanks to the individuals who initially walked each walk, sometimes in adverse weather, and produced the first drafts for each walk.

  • To the Down of The
    900 YEARS OF THE DON FISHERY fc n v ir o n m e to the down of the E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y The hand of man and the neglect of our . \i ancestors have deprived us of | a river which must have been a vision of glittering beauty (■ ERNEST PHILLIPS 1921 '1 The Don was once one of the country's finest salmon rivers. They have been absent from Salmon Pastures in Sheffield for more than two centuries. In fact for much of that time the river has been virtually fishless. Chris Firth's fascinating history of the river is timely. We now have a thriving coarse fishery again and the first salmon was found in Doncaster on 31 December 1995. Chris's study shows how man's exploitation of the Don devastated its ecology long before the pollution of the industrial revolution. Much has been achieved in recent years but much more remains to be done to protect and sustain the river. Os- JOHN FAWCETT CHAIRMAN 1 983 - 1 997 YORKSHIRE REGIONAL FISHERIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE Born and raised in the Don catchment, I have witnessed the river's misery throughout my childhood and into adult life. When in my professional life, the opportunity presented itself to begin the restoration of the Don I was eager to be involved. That is not to say that this document has been easy to produce. The collation of information from many varying sources has proved to be extremely challenging. The final product of many months of hard work is not a scientific record but a reflection borne of personal and professional experience.
