STWL is currently implementing its Asset Management Plan for AMP6 (April 2015 to March 2020), which is the mechanism by which the regulator OFWAT defines in a five-year capital expenditure programme for all water companies. Investment during the AMP6 period is in response to a number of key drivers. These drivers include providing a continuous supply of quality water, dealing effectively with wastewater, and promoting an effective regulatory regime. Scope of Project/Background This document has been prepared on behalf of STWL to support the planning application seeking consent for the extension of the existing sewage treatment works at Nethercote, Great Wolford, Shipston on Stour CV36 5NE. This application should be read alongside the following plans and documents: ▪ B1958987-JAC-DR-PL-0001 P01 Site Location Plan ▪ B1987987-JAC-DR-PL-0002 P01 Existing Site Layout ▪ B195897-JAC-DR-PL-0003 P01 Proposed Site Layout and Entrance ▪ B1958987-JAC-DR—PL-0004 P01 Proposed Site Elevations ▪ B1958987-JAC-DR-0005 P01 Inlet Pumping Station (For Information) ▪ Preliminary Ecological Appraisal Middlemarch Environmental (June 2019) ▪ Otter and Water Vole Survey Middlemarch Environmental (Sept 2019) • Archaeological Desk-Based Assesment Oxford Archaeology (April 2019) • Written Scheme of Investigation Oxford Archaeology (October 2019) • Archaeological Evaluation Report Oxford Archaeology (October 2019) 1 • Landscape Visual Impact Assessment (RSK, December 2019) • 662614.04.03.01 01 Mitigation Planting Plan, Nethercote • Construction Management Plan • Nethercote STW Maintenance Plan • High Level Construction Programme STWL/External Driver This application seeks to extend the existing sewage treatment works in this location to accommodate infrastructure which is necessary to meet the requirements of the Water Framework Directive. The Water Framework Directive seeks to improve the conditions at the Nethercote Brook through the imposition of a 1.5mg/l phosphorus permit on the final effluent entering the brook by the end of December 2021. The extended site will accommodate a new Inlet Pumping Station including handrailing and a lifting davit, a Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC), an RBC control and blower plinth kiosk, ferric dosing pump and control panel kiosk, ferric dosing system (tank), safety shower, potable water booster kiosk, Motor Control Centre (MCC) kiosk, two new reed beds and security fencing. The existing access road into the site will be improved and extended and a turning head will be provided. 2 02 Site and Surrounding Area The site is located in Nethercote, between the villages of Great Wolford and Little Wolford which are located approximately 500m to the west and 800m to the north-east of the site respectively. The site is approximately 5.0km to the south of the town of Shipston on Stour, Warwickshire. The application site comprises an arable field and associated field margins, and is located adjacent to the south-western boundary of the existing STW, which is owned and operated by Severn Trent. The existing STW and proposed extension are located to the south of Nethercote Farm, at Grid Reference: SP 25607 34402 (Easting: 425607, Northing: 234402). Both the existing STW and the application site are situated within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and there is a Special Landscape Area (SLA) approximately 150m to the north-west which includes the village of Great Wolford. The site is outside the Great Wolford conservation area boundary. The site is in a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) Impact Risk Zone and the Wolford Wood and Old Covert SSSI is approximately 1.5km to the south-west. The existing STW and proposed extension area is in Flood Zone 1 and is not at risk of flooding. In addition, neither the existing STW nor the proposed extension are subject to any public rights of way. There is a moated site, identified as a scheduled ancient monument approximately 390m to the north-west. There are a number of listed buildings in the nearby villages of Great Wolford and Little Wolford, although these are approximately 530m to the north-west and 1km to the north- east respectively. The site is not affected by any public rights of way. It is in an area of Flood Zone 1 which is considered to have a low probability of flooding from Rivers and seas, and the site extension area has a very low-low risk of surface water flooding. The nearest residential property to the site is located at Nethercote Fields Bed and Breakfast, approximately 100m to the north-east of the existing site. There are also a number of residential properties along Nethercote Road approximately 140m north-west of the proposed extension. 3 Figure 1: Existing site and proposed extension

  • Chastleton House Was Closed Today,The Four Shire Stone
    Chastleton House was closed today Secret Cottage took a Cotswolds tour to Chastleton House today, but unfortunately it was closed for the filming of Wolf Hall and Bringing up the Bodies. Filming started yesterday and will continue until August the 6th. As an alternative, we took our tourists to The Rollright Stones which were nearby and our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. However, we wanted to tell you something about the fabulous Chastleton House. Chastleton House is a fine Jacobean country house built between 1607 and 1612 by a Welsh wool merchant called Walter Jones. The house is built from beautiful local Cotswold stone and is Grade I listed. It was built on the site of an older house by Robert Catesby who masterminded the gunpowder plot! There are many unique features to Chastleton House; one of them being the longevity of the property within one family. In fact, until the National Trust took over the property in 1991, it had remained in the same family for around 400 years. Unlike many tourist attractions, the National Trust have kept this house completely unspoilt – they are conserving it, rather than restoring it. They don’t even have a shop or tea room; giving you the opportunity to truly step back in time. It’s almost like being in a living museum with a large number of the rooms open to the public that are still beautiful and untouched and have escaped the intrusion of being bought into the 21st century. A trip to Chastleton House brings history to life. This house has charm; there is no pretence with making walls perfect or fixing minor problems; expect to find gaps in the walls, cracks in the ceiling, uneven floors, dust and cobwebs in all their glory.
