Introduction In December 2009, RWE npower plc (RWE npower) submitted an application to The Department of Energy and Climate Change for consent under Section 36 of The Electricity Act, for a C ombined Cycle Gas Turbine power station at Willington in Derbyshire. The site of the proposed Willington C Power Station (WCPS) is the derelict site of the former Willington A and B coal fired power stations. RWE npower is now proposing a gas pipeline to serve the proposed Willington C Power Station. The proposed gas pipeline would be the main fuel supply for the proposed power station and would be a dedicated pipeline connecting the station to the National Transmission System operated by National Grid. The Willington C Gas Pipeline (WCGP) will require consent, in the form of a Development Consent Order, under The Planning Act 2008 and RWE npower has notified the Infrastructure Planning Commission that it has commenced the pre-application consultation process, which will lead to an application for the project. The WCGP project documents, which are contained on t he attached CD, contains a C onsenting Strategy Document that explains the overall program that RWE npower proposes to follow through the pre-application process for this project. The new consenting system imposes a responsibility on the applicant to carry out extensive consultations during the pre-application process. The bodies to be consulted under Section 42 of the Planning Act are prescribed under Regulation 3 (and Schedule 1) of the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedures) Regulations 2009 RWE npower and a list of consultees will be k ept on t he WCPS website which can be accessed at Trigonos www.rwenpower/willington. Windmill Hill Business Park Whitehill Way Swindon Wiltshire SN5 6PB T +44(0)1793/87 77 77 F +44(0)1793/89 25 25 I www.rwenpower.com Registered office: RWE Npower plc Windmill Hill Business Park Whitehill Way Swindon Wiltshire SN5 6PB Registered in England and Wales no. 3892782 RWE npower is proposing a two stage consultation process for this project. At present, only preliminary environmental information and t he proposed pipeline route corridor are available for consultation. During the summer of 2010, negotiations will continue with landowners and environmental studies will be undertaken so that the detailed pipeline route can be developed. It is proposed that a second (Phase 2) consultation will be carried out, towards the end of 2010 or early in 2011, when a Draft Environmental Statement and draft application documents are available. It is assumed that, following the second consultation, the application for a Development Consent Order will be submitted to the IPC during the summer of 2011. It is possible that a third consultation will be undertaken immediately before submission if additional information (which was not part of the phase 2 consultation) has been included in the application. 2. Phase 1 Consultation Information CD RWE npower has produced a s et of consultation documents and f igures as well as background information that describe the project at this early stage of development. These documents are available on the enclosed CD.

The proposed new power station (known as Willington C Power Station or WCPS) is gas fired and this scoping request relates to the gas pipeline which will be the primary means of fuel supply. The pipeline will link the WCPS to the National Transmission System (NTS), which is the existing arterial system of large gas transmission pipelines, operated by National Grid. The proposed pipeline is known as the Willington C Gas Pipeline (WCGP) and would comprise a buried steel pipeline of approximately 800mm diameter and between 28 and 30 km in length. A compound or Above Ground Installation (AGI) will be required at the off-take from the NTS. This Project Details Document should be considered along with the following other information which is available on the WCPS website (www.rwenpower.com/willington) - WCGP Environmental Scoping Report WCGP Preliminary Environmental Information Document WCGP Consent Strategy Document Willington Power Station Gas Supply, Environmental Appraisal Report (Mouchel 04/02/10) Willington Power Station Gas Supply, Route Corridor Selection Report (Mouchel 02/11/09) The WCGP will require a Development Consent Order under The Planning Act 2008. Consultation is an important part of the consent process. This document and others on the Willington C Power Station website have been provided to inform the Environmental Scoping process and the early stages of consultation with local authorities, statutory consultees and the community. It is intended that this document will be revised and expanded as the project develops and will eventually form part of the application for a Development Consent Order.

The Parish Council have been proposing to transfer the land in question to Stenson Fields Parish over a number of years Changes within the parish over the last 20 years have resulted in the parish becoming isolated from the north- eastern portion of the parish. This followed directly from the construction of the A50 road which cut across the parish and isolated the portion of the land which is contiguous to the parishes of Stenson Fields and the City of Derby.

It sets out the special historic and architectural interest that makes the character and appearance of Twyford worthy of protection. It also assesses the degree of damage to that special interest and thus opportunities for future enhancement. This document will be used by the Council when making professional judgements on the merits of development applications. The Twyford Conservation Area was designated by South Derbyshire District Council on 24th November 1977. Summary Twyford is situated on the northern banks of the River Trent about 3 kilometres from Willington. The hamlet straddles the A5132, which leads from Swarkestone to Willington. Swarkestone Bridge was historically the nearest bridge over the river to the east, and Burton-on-Trent was the nearest bridge to the west, until 1839. Twyford literally means “two fords” and it was an important ferry crossing point of the river for traffic that needed to reach Repton on the southern side of the valley. Repton was a major settlement with a Twyford Conservation AreaStatement Character royal palace and monastery and on a direct route from Derby.

  • Local Government Reform, Urban Expansion and Identity: Nottingham and Derby, 1945-1968
    Local Government Reform, Urban Expansion and Identity: Nottingham and Derby, 1945-1968 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by R.P. Dockerill BA Hons (Dunelm), PGCE (Dunelm), MSc, MA School of Historical Studies University of Leicester June 2013 Abstract Local Government Reform, Urban Expansion and Identity: Nottingham and Derby, 1945-1968 R.P. Dockerill This study examines changes in the governance of Nottingham and Derby in the period 1945-1968 from a local and national perspective. In so doing it foreshadows the changes wrought by the Local Government Act 1972, which usually receives greater academic attention. Post-war, local authorities became the nation’s principal landlords, while utilities, such as electricity and gas, were nationalised. In fulfilling their new responsibilities, urban authorities were forced to build estates on the periphery of, or outside, their boundaries. The relocation of residents resulted in an exportation of urban identity and greater urban-ness, but was not accompanied by a corresponding redrawing of administrative boundaries. Nevertheless, when urban authorities sought boundary extensions they were fiercely contested by county authorities, local associations, and residents’ groups. Such associations and groups claimed to possess characteristics distinct from the authorities that wished to incorporate them. There was also a fear that democratic accountability would be lost in the creation of larger units of governance. The local feelings aroused by boundary extension proposals demonstrate that local government is more than merely an agent of central government. It is a living organism: changes to it affect not only services, but also the identity of that place.
