  • Advisory Visit River Bollin, Styal Country Park, Cheshire February

    Advisory Visit River Bollin, Styal Country Park, Cheshire February

    Advisory Visit River Bollin, Styal Country Park, Cheshire February 2010 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Bollin, Cheshire on 19th February 2010. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Kevin Nash (Fisheries Technical Specialist) and Andy Eaves (Fisheries Technical Officer) of the Environment Agency (EA), North West Region (South Area). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The River Bollin is 49 km long and rises in the edge of Macclesfield Forest, flowing west to join the River Mersey (Manchester Ship Canal) near Lymm. The River Dean is the major tributary of the Bollin, and the catchment area totals 273 km2. The section of river visited flows through Styal Country Park, downstream of Quarry Bank Mill, and is owned by the National Trust. A previous Wild Trout Trust visit was carried out further downstream at the National Trust property at Dunham Massey. The Bollin falls within the remit of the Mersey Life Project which aims to carry out a phased programme of river restoration, initially focussing on the non-tidal section of the River Mersey, the River Bollin and River Goyt (http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/wildlife/102362.aspx). The construction of fish passes on Heatley and Bollington Mill weirs in the lower Bollin catchment means it is now possible for migratory species (e.g.

    Application No: 20/1866M Location: Fairways, 70, Macclesfield Road, Prestbury, SK10 4BH Proposal: Demolition of existing dwelling and construction of replacement building comprising 6 apartments Applicant: Mrs Brenda Crothers Expiry Date: 30-Jun-2020 SUMMARY The application site comprises an existing dwelling with its surrounding garden and driveway in a sustainable location with good access to local services and facilities.

The comments from neighbours and the Parish Council are considered within this report, however the proposal accords with the policies in the development plan and represents a sustainable from of development. Therefore given that there are no material considerations to indicate otherwise in accordance with policy MP1 of the CELPS, the application should be approved without delay.

Notices in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from members of the public and from interested bodies. 3» On 1 August 1979 the County Council submitted to us a draft scheme in which they suggested 71 electoral divisions for the County, each returning one member in accordance with Section 6(2)(a) of the Act.

    Residents Ideas for Wildboarclough and Macclesfield Forest Findings of the Residents’ Survey in January 2012 1 ‘People here are passionate about the countryside and their heritage. It binds people together. Each day, when I come home from work I look across the valley, and consider what a privilege it is to live in such a spectacularly beautiful area.’ 2 Acknowledgements Thanks go to Wincle School, Verena Breed , Maria Leitner and Liz Topalian for funding the printing of the survey forms and this report, Irene Belfield, Hilda Mitchell, and Erica Whitehead for their help and support, and Greg and Janet Robinson for printing notices when my machine wouldn’t! Special thanks go to our Postie Ray for his advice and support, without which this project could not have been achieved. I am grateful to all the residents who took the time to share their concerns and ideas by participating in the survey. Caroline Keightley January 2012 3 The findings of the Wildboarclough and Macclesfield Forest Residents Survey 2012 Introduction On 1 December the Parish Meeting agreed to a proposal to undertake a survey of all residents in order to find out people’s concerns, ideas, and priorities for action. The survey results can focus the discussion of future Parish Meetings. Why Have A Survey? The aim is to - Get the views of residents who cannot get to, or who don’t like attending the Parish meeting. It gives everybody a chance to air ideas for supporting and sustaining our village life. Make the Parish Meeting more responsive, effective, and think ahead- it allows us to ‘take stock’.
