Belper Neighbourhood Plan 2019-2035 1 Foreword The Town Council believe that the Neighbourhood Development Plan will provide the driving force to give those who live and work in the Belper Civil Parish an enhanced quality of life and improved community infrastructure. The Plan has been prepared by a sub-committee of the Town Council, under the guidance of a Planning Consultant and following consultation with the local community. In accordance with legal requirements, the document is primarily concerned with land-use matters but the extent of consultation gives rise to a number of community projects. Account has been taken of the community’s clear desire that was expressed consistently throughout – that building should be on brownfield sites before greenfield, and that the North & East Mills & Strutt House should be put into good order and full usage. It is understood that there is a need for housing and employment land, but that the situation is not straightforward given the number of heritage buildings and the multiplicity of protected areas (Green Belt, Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site and buffer zone, conservation area, flood risk, areas of special landscape interest). The Town Council recognises that a balance needs to be achieved between maintaining the Belper neighbourhood area as a sustainable community with sufficient employment and suitable housing availability, and protecting the area’s heritage, ethos and landscape character. We believe that the Neighbourhood Plan for the Belper Civil Parish satisfies these criteria. There have been a number of significant changes in the Parish since work on the Plan began. Schemes for some of the sites have changed and new opportunities created. Changes in legislation and the wider local environment have also caused us to amend and adjust the plan. The biggest change has been the wider recognition of the impact of climate change and the role that Neighbourhood Plans can have influencing carbon neutral future development. By using modern methods to maximise energy efficiency we are following the early Strutts who were also forward thinking innovators and had such an influence on our townscape. We would like to thank the many people who have given their time, energy and knowledge in the development of this plan. A number of them have worked tirelessly for years, through some daunting times, to create this Submission Neighbourhood Development Plan. Thanks particularly to Helen Metcalfe, our Planning Consultant, without

  • The Wesleyan Reform Movement in Derbyshire
    Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: E. ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume 52 May1999 "BY SCHISMS RENT ASUNDER": THE WESLEYAN REFORM MOVEMENT IN DERBYSHIRE . ... such is the state of anarchy and disruption in which we found the circuit, we have not been able to take account of who are members and who are not, so that for the last quarter the Schedule Book is a blank. With the exception of one or two only of the congregations, all the congregation in the circuit are the most disorderly riotous assemblies of wild beasts: and the pulpits regularly the spit of contention between the authorised local preachers, and those patronised by the mob ... I do not think it right to be any further a party to the desecration of all that is sacred on God's day, by contending with infuriated men, some of whom have, again and again, squared their fists in my face in regular pugilistic style and all but struck me in the performance of this necessary duty.1 uch was the state of the Ilkeston Wesleyan Circuit in Derbyshire, as described by Rev. Alexander Hume in a letter to John Beecham, the SPresident of the Wesleyan Conference, dated November 5, 1850. There had been rumblings of disaffection in the lower reaches of the Wesleyan Connexion for some time. It was felt by some, particularly by those living in the provinces, that the W esleyan ministers were becoming too remote from their flocks and neglecting their pastoral duties. Allied to this was the undoubted suspicion held that the Connexion was in the hands of a metropolitan clique ruled by Dr.

The area is noted for its framework knitting, pottery and coal mining industrial heritage, elements of which are still evident. Its housing market has grown significantly (approximately 20%) over the past two decades, which could be attributed to its emerging status as a commuter settlement for surrounding towns and the City of Derby. 1 Improving Places and Meeting Community Needs Local Area: Kilburn, Denby and Holbrook covers 1500 hectares of land to the south of the Borough.

  • Spring 2014 the JOY of the GOSPEL
    Spring 2014 THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL In recent weeks, many members of the Parish have bought copies of Pope Francis’s Apostolic Exhortation, ‘The Joy of the Gospel’ (Evangelii Gaudium). The Pope’s initiative comes at a very timely moment, so soon after the mission to the parish by the Sion Community in November, which was a great blessing to us. The Pastoral Council continues to discern how we may best respond to the missionary challenges to which the Lord is so clearly calling not just our parish but the whole People of God. Here are a few extracts from recent catechesis which I have given at the end of Mass. Further summaries of the contents of this beautiful letter can be found on the Parish Website. The full letter itself can also be downloaded if you wish. WITNESS IN OUR DAILY LIVES “There is a kind of preaching,” says the Pope, “which falls to each of us as a daily responsibility. It has to do with bringing the Gospel to the people we meet, whether they be our neighbours or complete strangers. This is the informal preaching which takes place in the middle of a conversation … (for) being a disciple means being constantly ready to bring the love of Jesus to others: and this can happen suddenly and unexpectedly and in any place – on the street, in a city square, during work, on a journey” (#127). “In this preaching, which is always respectful and gentle, the first step is personal dialogue, when the other person speaks and shares his or her joys, hopes and concerns for loved ones, or so many other heartfelt needs.
