Wilne Lane is still an issue with overgrown trees and hedges, as is the Greenway; which is being dealt with by DCC. Overgrowth is an issue throughout the village, there is a mix of responsibility for the overgrowth including Canal & River Trust, SDDC, DCC and private householders. Cllr Perks and Cllr Lees spent a large amount of time completing a village walk and making note of areas requiring action and these are now all being actioned. Cllr Hawksworth gave details of restraints the farming community face with hedge cutting due to nesting season – there is also the issue of the weather causing excessive growth this year. Lady in Grey has been painted white – which is not in keeping with the area.

  • Establishing a Settlement Hierarchy
    AMBER VALLEY BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN 2016 ESTABLISHING A SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY MARCH 2017 1 Contents 1 Introduction 3 2 National Policy Context 4 3 Housing Need 5 4 Identifying Settlements, Services & Facilities 6 5 Establishing A Settlement Hierarchy 11 Appendix 1 Settlement Hierarchy Data Table 2 1 Introduction 1.1 This paper sets out the process followed by the Borough Council in seeking to establish a settlement hierarchy in Amber Valley, to inform the preparation of a new Local Plan and more specifically, to:- o determine the role that various settlements within the Borough can have in contributing to meeting objectively assessed housing need o develop appropriate policies for inclusion in the Draft Local Plan, against which to consider proposals for new housing development within particular settlements, so that the scale and location of new housing development reflects the principles of sustainable development. 1.2 The paper highlights the national policy context in relation to sustainable development, as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG). 1.3 The paper explains how the Borough Council, together with the other local planning authorities in the Derby Housing Market Area (HMA), have established the objectively assessed housing need in Amber Valley up to 2028 and how the Borough Council has sought to meet this need, including by proposing a number of specific sites for new housing development in the Draft Local Plan. 1.4 The paper describes how the Borough Council has selected a range of settlements across Amber Valley as potential locations to accommodate new housing development, in addition to that expected to come forward on the specific sites proposed in the Draft Local Plan.

  • And Mineralization in the United Kingdom Faculty Of
    A THESIS entitled THE INTERPRETATION OF LEAD Ate ZINC STREAM SEDIMENT ANOMALIES RELATED TO CONTAMINATION AND MINERALIZATION IN THE UNITED KINGDOM Submitted for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in the FACULTY OF SCIENCE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON by DENNIS TAYLOR Royal School of Mires Imperial College. May 1968 ABSTRACT Using the results of a multi-element stream sediment survey previously carried out over the environs of the Halkyn-Minera and Derbyshire Pb-Zn orefields as a base, a study was made of the relationship of anomalous metal contents to both natural and contaminated sources. Pb, Pb-Zn, and. Zn anomalies were found to be associated with contamination from mining and smelting and to various natural sources, with Mo, Ba, Cu and Ag as the principal associated elements. Smelting methods have changed with time and these variations are reflected in the metal associations found in the contaminated sediments, Pb or Pb-Ba anomalies with little or no Zn characterize smelters of early date and increasing amounts of Zn are found in more modern smelters, while very high Zn levels characterize anomalies derived from later metallurgical sites such as brass or galvanized iron industrial sites. The Pb:Zn ratio varies widely in natural anomalies, being influenced by the metal content of the primary mineralization, the history of leaching and erosion of the deposit and the mode of derivation of the stream sediment anomaly. The chemical form of the Pb and Zn in stream sediment anomalies differs systematically in a manner rslated to the nature of the source and the method of derivation of the anomaly.
