http://publicaccess.salford.gov.uk/publicaccess/simpleSearchResults.do?action=firstPage APPLICATION No: 14/64676/FUL APPLICANT: Mr Alan Whitehead - Moss Farm Fisheries LOCATION: Moss Farm , Cutnook Lane, Irlam, M44 5NB PROPOSAL: Retrospective planning application for the construction of four fishing ponds and use of existing buildings as a café, wormery and tackle shop WARD: Irlam Description of Site and Surrounding Area This application relates to a 10.3 hectare site on Irlam Moss which comprises land, car parking, a number of buildings and a total of six ponds, two of which were permitted under application 07/54591/FUL with the remaining four being under the consideration of this application. The site is surrounded by other farms and associated buildings, land and access tracks. The site is located within the Green Belt and the character of the moss is largely flat with any raised areas predominantly limited to site boundaries/ditch drain bankings. The original site entrance off Cutnook Lane and to the east of the dwelling house has been blocked up with access new taken from a point further south along Cutnook Lane. The access road leads up between the two authorised ponds up to the car parking area and the site buildings. The buildings on site include the Farm House and two barns to the north and west of the farmhouse as well as a café, tackle shop, wormery, storage buildings and a number of disused containers. There are no new buildings on site, however the use of the buildings as a wormery and café do not have the benefit of planning permission and are to be considered as part of this application. The 2010 application permits the provision of a log cabin for use as a tackle shop, however the tackle shop is operating from an existing building on site rather than the building identified under application 10/58869/FUL. The area of the four new ponds was previously fields. Cutnook Lane and the other surrounding roads are identified as public rights of way. There are no public rights of way which cross the site, although there is a pathway which provides access around the perimeter of the site which the application refers to as a nature trail. Raspberry Lane is to the south of the site, this lane is overgrown and no longer provides an access route. To the east and west of the site are ditch drains with access roads/public rights of way beyond. The nearest residential properties are Oakfield to the south and Woodbarn Farm and Birch View Farm to the west. Description of Proposal This application seeks to regularise the current use of the site and will therefore consider the construction and use of the four additional fishing ponds, the tackle shop, the café and the wormery. Further details of each of the parts are provided below: Tackle Shop Whilst the tackle shop is not operating from the building identified under the 2010 application its use remains the same as that considered under application 10/58869/FUL which was permitted. It utilises an existing building which has been in situ since approximately 2012 and as such the construction of the building is immune from enforcement action. The tackle shop building is within the same ownership as the remainder of the site but is independently run. It is not considered that the current tackle shop use has changed significantly since the approval of application 10/58869/FUL and it is acknowledged that the provision of the onsite tackle shop supports the use of the site as a fishery having particular regard to the two ponds to the east of the site which were granted planning permission in 2007. The opening hours for the tackle shop are 8am – 4pm. Wormery The wormery is housed within an existing building adjacent to the car parking area. Toilets are provided in the rear of this building and it has at some point been extended to the rear to provide a building for the storage of equipment. The applicants have advised that the wormery and storage building were erected around 2010. The owners of the site grow worms in the wormery which are used to feed the fish throughout the year and are also sold to people using the site for fishing. Café The café operates from an existing building to the north of the car park area which the applicants have advised was built by the previous owners as part of an old permission for a cattery and kennels at the site. The café has two members of staff and as with the tackle shop the café is independently run but the building is owned by the applicants. The operating hours of the café is 7.30am – 3pm Tuesday to Sunday and it employs 2 members of staff. Ponds The two authorised ponds are located to the eastern side of the site. Access is provided via a road between these two ponds and up to the car parking area and site buildings. The four ponds which are the consideration of this application are located to the western side of the site and have been created through the importation of material to raise the land levels to allow the formation of the ponds without excavation of the land and the peat which the applicants confirm lies below. Access is provided from the car parking area up a short hill, to allow for the change in levels which have been engineered on site, with the ponds all being lined next to each other running from north to south across the site. The areas between the ponds are laid to grass. The first pond includes further raised areas for stock ponds adjacent to both sides where smaller fish are kept until they are big enough to be fished at which time they are moved into the larger ponds. The construction of the ponds began in September 2013 and was completed around May 2014. The submitted ‘Long section LS04-06’ plan (drawing number BC-1702-697-R1-F08) shows the water level of the two authorised ponds at 24.98m with the water level of the four new ponds at 27.1m, a difference of 2.12m. The fisheries are open between the hours of 7am and 7pm in the summer and 7am to approximately 4pm in the winter months. Overnight camping is available on the large specimen lake, once the gates are locked at night visitors are not able to leave and any people staying overnight have to be a member of the lake and carry photo ID at all times. Dwelling House and Barns The farm house is sited towards the eastern end of the site and to the north of the two authorised fishing ponds. Further north of the dwelling house are two barns. No changes are proposed to the dwelling house and the two barns as part of this application although it is noted that application 16/69231/FUL is currently under consideration which proposes the demolition of existing buildings and structures, and erection of one replacement dwelling house and the construction of 5 additional dwelling houses with associated works. There is an existing building identified as a visitor centre on the submitted site plan, however the applicants have advised that the site as a whole is considered to be a visitor centre and during the site visit they confirmed that the building in question is used for storage of equipment. In addition the applicants have confirmed that the farm shop is no longer on site and that the building is solely used by the café. The site is open to fishing club members as well as general members of the public who wish to fish. The applicants seek to encourage the use of the site for non-fishers who may wish to use the facilities or park up and leave their cars whilst they go walking around the area. The site is also used by various community groups and schools and this is discussed in more detail further in the report. The application site includes an informal footpath which runs around the perimeter of the ponds area and allows for camping around the pond areas for fishers. There is an existing hardstanding on site used for car parking as well as an overspill area to the north of the first new pond (Millie). This area is not formally marked out, however the application form indicates that provision for 20 cars is provided as well as 4 disabled parking spaces and 5 cycle spaces.

    Report Peak Hour Bus Lane Order TRO 1891/92/93

    Part 1 - Open to the Public ITEM NO. 4 REPORT OF THE STRATEGIC DIRECTOR ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY SAFETY TO TRAFFIC ADVISORY PANEL ON 18 TH DECEMBER TITLE: A56 Bury New Road and A665 Bury Old Road, Salford Peak hour bus lane order – TRO 1891/92/93 RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Assistant Mayor for Strategic Planning considers the contents of this report and the deliberations of the Traffic Advisory Panel and makes a decision to introduce the proposed Traffic Regulation order as advertised. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As part of the introduction of bus lane enforcement there is a need to review all the traffic regulation orders in the City. This exercise was completed and anomalies with the order and lining / signing were found which required the order to be amended and advertised. This advertisement of the order resulted in one objection regarding the method of advertising the order and that car passengers could not board or alight whilst the bus lane is operative. The bus lanes within this TRO front only a number of residential properties and alternative access not involving additional mileage for private hires or taxis are readily available. The details of the order are consistent with our neighbouring councils who carry out bus lane enforcement. It is therefore recommended that the order be introduced as advertised. BACKGROUND DOCUMENTS: Emails from the objectors. KEY DECISION: NO 1 DETAILS: As part of the introduction of bus lane enforcement in Salford there is a requirement to review the Traffic Regulation Orders. As part of this process the lines and signs were reviewed for correctness against the order and the requirements set down in “The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions”.

    Physical-Force Chartism: the Cotton District and the Chartist Crisis of 1839*

    ROBERTSYKES PHYSICAL-FORCE CHARTISM: THE COTTON DISTRICT AND THE CHARTIST CRISIS OF 1839* There is a real need to integrate local and national approaches to the study of Chartism. The inadequacies of the pioneering studies of the national movement certainly revealed the need to return to the local roots of the movement.' However, the pattern of local studies largely established by the important volume of Chartist Studies edited by Asa Briggs has had some unfortunate consequences.2 The attempt to provide a comprehensive account of Chartism in a given locality, and cover the entire period from 1838 to 1848, has often precluded extended examination of key issues. Such matters as the relationship between Chartism and other forms of popular protest, Chartist ideology and tactics, the relationship between the Char- tists and the middle class, and the whole cultural and organisational dimen- sion of Chartism have only recently begun to receive detailed analysis.3 There has been a marked tendency for one of the most remarkable aspects of Chartism, the extent to which diverse localities were united in a national movement, to be obscured. Indeed it is evident that many historians returned to the local roots of Chartism without adequate assessments of Chartist ideology, tactics, national organisation and national leadership. Some important recent work has done much to enhance our understanding of such matters.4 A more meaningful assessment of how events in the localities interacted with the national movement is now possible. * I am grateful for the valuable comments of Dr I. J. Prothero and Mrs Dorothy Thompson on an early draft of this article.

Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk 'I probably would never move, but ideally like I’d love to move this week': Class and Residential Experience, Beyond Elective Belonging Abstract This article critically engages with Savage et al.'s conceptualisation of 'elective belonging'. Drawing on research in a case-study site in central Salford, it argues that historical processes of deindustrialisation, slum clearance and social housing residualisation have been compounded by the subsequent strategies of gentrification and impact upon the forms of 'belonging' that can be constructed by marginal working-class populations. Correcting for the predominance of research on belonging from the perspective of middle-class incomers, findings are organised around the themes ‘the local/incomer distinction’, 'perceptions of and orientations to the neighbourhood', 'the power of economic capital', 'social others and social distance', and 'tectonic communities'. It is argued that the privileging of attracting inward investment into such locales necessarily entails that the elective belonging of the privileged is secured at the expense of the prescribed belonging of the marginal.

It examines the local, regional and nations media landscape in selected locations around the UK through a series of case studies conducted in spring 2009. We place these case studies within a wider context by the inclusion of maps and table showing the availability of different local media across the UK. 1.2 Given the heterogeneity and complexity of the local and regional media landscape across the UK it is not possible to carry out a detailed analysis of the local and regional media landscape in all locations throughout the UK. We have therefore based our approach around case studies in eight locations to present an indicative view as to the local media landscape in different parts of the UK. The locations were selected to provide a range of population sizes and included a location in each of the nations.

The site is bounded by the M60 to the west, and the Manchester Ship Canal and residential properties on Langland Drive to the south. To the north, the treatment works borders the allotment gardens to the rear of residential properties on Tindall Street, and Peel Green Road. The facility is separated from properties to the north / north east by a woodland / landscaped area including properties on Langland Drive. Background of Proposal Currently, there are unsatisfactory intermittent discharges (UID) from the local combined sewer overflow system into Salteye Brook. United Utilities is undertaking works to improve the aesthetic and water quality of the Salteye Brook and Manchester Ship Canal, the driver of these improvement works is the requirement for these water courses to meet the EC freshwater Fish Directive (EC FFD) by the 28th February 2015. The inlet Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) is located adjacent to the site entrance off Peel Green Road. The CSO is currently unscreened and, together with treated effluent and discharges from the storm tanks, discharges directly to an open channel section of Salteye Brook, approximately 500m to the west of the Barton Viaduct.

  • Pdf Read All About

    Read All About It! Newspapers as a treasure trove Research in most formal record sources will provide you with facts but not 'stories'. There are also lots of events which may have touched on your ancestors' lives, but which left no formal record. Perhaps they saved someone from drowning, won a prize at an agricultural show or witnessed an accident. Newspapers can provide that vital record of events which otherwise would have passed without note. Until recent decades, newspapers were only helpful if you knew when and where an event took place as few are indexed in any thorough way. It is only with the advent of online digital copies of an increasing number of newspapers that they have become a place where you can look for your ancestors and accounts of their part in events which help to bring them alive as individuals. Online Newspapers There are several web sites offering copies of historical newspapers, some dating back to the 18th century. All offer the ability to search the text of all issues over a period of time for appearances of specified words or phrases. This is made possible by the text of the scanned newspaper pages having been processed into machine-readable text using Optical Character recognition (OCR) software. Search results link to images of the scanned page, or section of the page, on which each article containing the specified text appears. Note: OCR is not a perfect process, particularly with small newsprint. The machine-readable text may contain conversion errors and so you may find that a search for a word or phrase does not produce matches for all the articles in which it appears, although the search algorithms try to make some allowance for this.
