The site at Oakwood Grange/Mabey Depot, Robinettes Lane, Cossall should be included for housing because: (i) It is a brownfield site consistent with Government Policy. (ii) It would improve the living environment of adjoining residents. (iii) It would accord with the aims and objectives of the plan for housing. (iv) It would improve the local environment. (v) It would reduce HGV use of narrow roads through Cossall. Council’s Response: 2. Site Details Site area: 5.5 hectares (13.5 acres) Location: The site is situated approximately 300m east of Cossall village, a rural village clustered around a narrow road. It also lies adjacent to the Cossall Conservation area (see attached map for location). The site was originally part of Cossall colliery which closed in the 1950s. Current use: An enclave of development occupying industrial uses, some residential and open land (part used for dumping manure). The site is part greenfield, part previously developed land. Ecological value: No designated wildlife sites exist on the site although part of the site is in a Mature Landscape Area. However it is proposed that this part is deleted from the MLA designation in this Local Plan Review. Green Belt: The site is situated in the Green Belt and isolated from any built-up area. Public transport: There are no frequent bus services within walking distance, or 400m.

    Contents Early Newsletters revisited. The Rutland Ground A Trip to Matlock Visit to Nottingham University On Our Doorstep Old Ilkeston (East) and Cossall November/December 2009 No1 Early newsletters revisited by Danny Corns. I thought it may be interesting for newcomers to the Society to see articles published in the early newsletters and for the “old timers” of the Society to take a trip down memory lane. Below is the first newsletter from March 1969 and I thought it worthwhile to publish it in its entirety. As we proceed I shall extract articles from other newsletters for re-printing. THE ILKESTON & DISTRICT LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY’S NEWS-LETTER No.1 March 1969 At the close of this the Society’s third winter season of lecture meetings it has been decided that a monthly newsletter should be instituted to keep members in closer touch with the activities of the Society and to offer a forum for the discussion and exchange of views and information. Members are invited to support it by sending any comments and contributions to the editor, whose address appears at the foot of page 2. Report- Snowbound as we were on Thursday 20 February, Mr. Alan McCormick was unable to speak to the Society about his work as Assistant Curator of the Nottingham Castle Museum as arranged. Instead a small but dedicated audience heard Malcolm Burrows introduce the series of booklets produced by the Standing Conference for Local History, publishers of the quarterly Local Historian (previously The Amateur Historian) at 15s per annum or 3/6d each issue.

  • Volume 4: Spring Walks
    1 Introduction Welcome to our fourth volume of ‘100 Walks from the Poppy and Pint’. This volume contains Spring Walks for you to enjoy now that the lockdown has eased. I hope that you find it useful. You will find 49 walks in this volume bringing the total number of walks in the series to 150! This volume is quite different to the other volumes. These walks have been specially selected from a wider radius of Lady Bay. This gives us more choice, more variety, and the chance to showcase different areas. Most of the walks start within 30 minutes’ drive from the Poppy and Pint and most are relatively short walks of around two to three hours. All have been chosen because they hold one or more points of interest. Moreover, the paths are quiet, they are varied, and all are on good, waymarked paths. This makes them ideal spring walks just after the lockdown. Being out on the trail in the open air anywhere lifts the spirits, is good for the soul, and gives our lives a different perspective. I think we always feel better when we come back from a walk! Do try it and see! This is the fourth volume of walks to complement Volumes One, Two and Three. Unfortunately, it is not possible to put these four volumes into one tome as the subsequent size of the file would be too big to e mail! When I set myself the challenge of researching and creating 100 local walks, I never actually thought it was possible.

    Report to Planning and Licensing Committee 10 December 2013 Agenda Item: REPORT OF CORPORATE DIRECTOR POLICY, PLA NNING AND CORPORATE SERVICES BROXTOWE DISTRICT REF. NO.: 5/13/00590/CCM PROPOSAL: EXTRACTION OF COAL AND FIRECLAY BY SURFACE MINING METHODS WITH RESTORATION TO AGRICULTURE, WOODLAND, NATURE CONSERVATION AND PUBLIC AMENITY LOCATION: LAND OFF COSSALL ROAD BETWEEN THE VILLAGES OF COSSALL AND TROWELL, REFERRED TO AS THE SHORTWOOD SITE APPLICANT: UK COAL SURFACE MINES LIMITED Purpose of Report 1. To consider a planning application for the extraction of an estimated 1.275 million tonnes of coal and 250,000 tonnes of fireclay by opencast extraction methods from land know as ‘Shortwood’ between Cossall and Trowell, and the restoration of the site to agriculture, woodland, nature conservation and public amenity. The key issues relate to landscape and visual impact, the impact on the setting of Cossall Conservation Area, HGV traffic, noise, dust, health impacts, the impact on the Green Belt and countryside, the impacts on rights of way, and the restoration of the site including its deliverability. 2. A small section of the application site, extending to approximately five hectares, is within Cossall Mature Landscape Area (MLA) and MLAs are identified in the adopted Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan (MLP) as opencast coal constraint areas and are protected from opencast coal extraction in Policy M12.7 of the MLP. Accordingly the application has been treated as a ‘departure’ from the Development Plan. The recommendation is to grant planning permission subject to conditions and a legal agreement. Background to this application 3. Members of Planning and Licensing Committee will be aware that an almost identical planning application to the one under consideration in this report was submitted to the County Council in February 2012.

  • Design Statement.Qxd
    INTRODUCTION The production of the Trowell Parish Plan was successfully completed in 2004. This was based on a consultation process which included the results of a well supported survey "I feel lucky to be part of Trowell life, distributed to please don't destroy that making it approximately 2,000 yet another over populated area" residents. Various action plans were drawn up to take forward the recommendations, with the action for housing and development being facilitated within the framework of a Parish Design Statement (PDS). The PDS would guide the provision of housing development in and around the parish whilst protecting its distinctiveness, character and natural rural boundaries, in line with the wishes of the residents, and the remit of the Broxtowe Local Plan. From the data collected by the Parish Plan Survey, it was evident that approximately 80% of residents requested that new housing growth be limited to no more than 10% in the foreseeable future. 1 BACKGROUND History and Evolvement It is a rural parish separated from Ilkeston, Stapleford and the City of Nottingham by open countryside and moorland, a railway and the River Erewash. The M1 Motorway dissects the parish but does not affect the united community. Trowell is famous as the Festival of Britain village of 1951. The aspect for most residents is of open fields and the housing has evolved on a linear theme either side of the A609 and the A6007. Development has continued as expansions of the linear theme followed by the Trowell Park development in the 1980s. 21st Century Trowell - What makes it unique? Water The open countryside within the parish provides the source for a number of the natural watercourses flowing in the local area.
