The facility would generate electricity during peak periods of demand (limited to a few hours per week) although the specific level of output would vary according to local demand. The proposal site is located some 3km northeast of Buxton Railway Station and 900m southeast of the centre of Upper End, on the north side of Waterswallows Road at its junction with Hardybarn Lane. The proposal site is centred on National Grid Reference SK 085 752. The proposal site is bounded to the west by the Waterswallows Recycling Centre, to the north and east by farmland and to the south by Waterswallows Road and Waterswallows Quarry. The proposal site lies at an altitude of approximately 345m AOD and covers some 0.34ha. The proposal site currently comprises part of two grass fields, the southern being the sire of a former farmhouse. Both fields were being grazed by sheep at the time of the site visit in September 2017. A small concrete block building is located on the eastern boundary of the southern field, outside the proposal site. The geology of the proposal site comprises limestone of the Low Limestone Formation. To the northwest of the proposal site the solid geology comprises lava of the Lower Miller’s Dale Lava Member, with an unnamed igneous intrusion to the south. No superficial deposits are recorded. This study has revealed that there are no designated sites (e.g. scheduled monuments, listed buildings) within the proposal site. The closest designated assets are the scheduled monuments located some 1.9km northeast of the proposal site. Neither these nor any other scheduled monuments, listed buildings, registered parks and gardens, registered battlefields or conservation areas nor their settings would be affected by the proposed development. There are no recorded remains of confirmed prehistoric date within or in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development area, although those Mesolithic and later remains located nearby at the Buxton Water Bottling Works on Waterswallows Lane are significant. Later development within the proposal site may have damaged any remains here. The line of a Roman road runs within 1km of the proposal site. The proposal site lay within the hinterland of Buxton during the Roman period. There are few sites or finds of medieval date in the vicinity of the proposal site. Later mapping indicates that the wider area was probably part of a common grazing field during the later medieval period. There is no evidence for medieval settlement activity within the proposed development area. The proposal site itself is named as Hardybarn Farm, with Hardybarn marked at the crossroads with Longridge Road to the east of the proposal site on the first edition Ordnance Survey (OS) six-inch to the mile map of 1882. The farm buildings are shown as being located in the southern field of the proposal site and had been demolished by 1999 according to Google Earth. There is no recorded evidence for activity, other than use as agricultural land over the proposal site until the 19th century when parts of it were used as a farm. The farm within the proposal site was demolished by 1999. There is no evidence for the proposed development area to contain below ground remains of the highest significance, or of sufficient significance to warrant preservation in situ. 1 rpsgroup.com 1 INTRODUCTION Background 1.1 RPS Planning and Development was commissioned to produce a heritage assessment in connection with a proposed energy reserve facility at a site to the east of Waterswallows Industrial Park, Waterswallows Road, Buxton, in Derbyshire. 1.2 The facility would generate electricity during peak periods of demand (limited to a few hours per week) although the specific level of output would vary according to local demand. Site Description 1.3 The proposed development area is located some 3km northeast of Buxton Railway Station and 900m southeast of the centre of Upper End, on the north side of Waterswallows Road at its junction with Hardybarn Lane and immediately east of Waterswallows Industrial Park.

Long-term exposure to air pollution has been shown to reduce life expectancy, due to its impact on cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and lung cancer. Many everyday activities such as transport, industrial processes, farming, energy generation and domestic heating can have a detrimental effect on air quality. The annual status report is fundamental to ensuring the monitoring of trends and identification of areas of local air pollution exposure. The cumulative effect of a range of interventions has the greatest potential to reduce local air pollution and improve population health, as such the annual status report and associated action plans provide an opportunity to engage a range of partners.

G S. fFITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS AND SMALL MAPS IN THE TEXT REPRINT OF THIRD EDITION LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1919 . • r r 11 'X/^i-r * ' Ci First Edition^ 1903 Second Edition, Revised, 1905 Tliird Edition, Revised, 1918 (.Reprint), 19 „ ,, 19 PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the litera- ture of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Cirencester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes unde- served on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads; and with the evidence now available few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable certainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can only be guessed at.

  • Dark Peak Boundary Walk
    DARK PEAK BOUNDARY WALK The title 'Boundary Walk' refers to the nature of the walk, a circuit of 80 miles around the fringes of three great moorland masses of Kinder Scout, Bleaklow and Black Hill that comprise the Dark Peak. The route is mainly high level but linking these sections a variety of terrain including bridleway tracks, field paths, sheltered wooded cloughs and numerous reservoirs will be encountered. The bleak and wild moors of the Dark ·Peak are never far away and often dominate the views. The route was completed to my satisfaction in November 1987 having been put together on occasional weekend trips over a couple of years. My intention was to create an enjoyable (hopefully) circular walk suitable for short hostelling/backpacking holidays. The entire route is covered by OS Sheet 110 (1:50,000) Sheffield and Huddersfield area.

  • Old Moor Quarry (Tunstead) Wormhill Buxton (Np/Hpk/1013/0898, M11781, Jen)
    Planning Committee – Part A 13 January 2017 Page 1 7. REVIEW OF OLD MINERAL PERMISSION APPLICATION - OLD MOOR QUARRY (TUNSTEAD) WORMHILL BUXTON (NP/HPK/1013/0898, M11781, JEN) APPLICANT: LAFARGE TARMAC (SITE NOW OPERATED BY TARMAC) Site and Surroundings Old Moor Quarry is part of a wider site incorporating both Tunstead Quarry and Old Moor Quarry. The sites are worked together as one operation by the operator. However, for the purposes of planning, Tunstead is located entirely outside the National Park and thus comes under the planning control of Derbyshire County Council. Old Moor is predominantly located in the National Park, (with a very small area in Derbyshire County Council). Both Tunstead and Old Moor are undergoing the necessary processes to enable the relevant planning authorities to determine modern working conditions. Tunstead/Old Moor Quarry is located approximately 4 kilometres to the east of Buxton and is one of the largest quarries in Britain encompassing an area of over one square mile. The quarry produces a range of limestone products. Tunstead Quarry was established in the 1920s to supply high purity industrial limestone for use within the chemical and other industries. Tunstead has operated under planning controls since 1946 benefiting from several related permissions for the winning and working of minerals and the disposal of mineral waste. Tunstead Quarry and Old Moor Quarry are separated by Great Rocks Dale, a dry valley, within which runs a freight railway line. The quarries are connected by a causeway bridge over the railway. An application was made in 1974 to the Peak Park Joint Planning Board (PPPB) for the majority of the area of Old Moor (and application was also made to Derbyshire County Council for the small part of Old Moor within their administrative control).

  • An Archaeological Resource Assessment of Roman Derbyshire
    East Midlands Archaeological Research Framework: Resource Assessment of Roman Derbyshire An Archaeological Resource Assessment of Roman Derbyshire Andrew Myers - Derbyshire Sites and Monuments Records Officer Note: For copyright reasons the figures are currently omitted from the web version of this paper. It is hoped to include them in future versions. Geology and Topography Derbyshire's landscape encompasses dramatic variations in geology, geomorphology and soil types. In the north lie the uplands formed by gritstones in the district of High Peak, and the dissected Carboniferous limestone of the southern High Peak and Derbyshire Dales. The latter is flanked on its eastern side by the gritstone outliers of the East Moors and Stanton Moor. In the north east, the Magnesian limestone of Bolsover district forms a narrow north- south ridge of higher ground. Sandwiched between the gritstone East Moors and the Magnesian limestone lie the complex, lower lying coal measures, running from the South Yorkshire border southwards through North East Derbyshire, Chesterfield, Amber Valley and Erewash. Here they give way to the Triassic marls and loams of South Derbyshire and the Trent Valley, Derby district and the southernmost parts of Derbyshire Dales. The SMR: Distribution of Records The Roman period accounts for 10.7% of total SMR records. The distribution of Roman records within Derbyshire reveals something of the same quantitative bias for the uplands of Derbyshire Dales which has been noted previously for the various prehistoric periods. Derbyshire Dales, which comprises 30.3% of Derbyshire's surface area, accounts for 41.6% of all Roman records. In contrast, North East and South Derbyshire comprise 10.5% and 12.9% of Derbyshire's surface area, but only have 3.2% and 2.6% of Roman records respectively.
