Springfield Farm Belph Local Area SPRINGFIELD FARM BELPH LOCAL AREA The Springfield Farm development offers a range of high quality properties, incorporating some outstanding barn conversions set in the charming hamlet of Belph. Belph is located on the edge of the Welbeck Estate in this North Eastern extremity of Derbyshire. The hamlet of Belph retains and reflects its 19th century rural character and farming history, due to the survival of many of the buildings in the local style of architecture. These characteristics have in fact also ensured that Belph is included as part of a local designated Conservation Area, where the buildings are deemed desirable to both preserve and enhance. Belph is perfectly located to enjoy the great outdoors. Right on its doorstep is the National Trust owned Clumber Park and Sherwood Pines outdoor adventure park. There’s fantastic scenery to be enjoyed on the Robin Hood Way; a walking trail which runs from Creswell Crags visitor centre through the grounds of the Welbeck Estate. The Estate is also home to The Harley Gallery, The Portland Collection and the Harley Cafe. That’s not to mention the award-winning Welbeck Farm Shop, Welbeck Brewery, The School of Artisan Food and the Dukeries Garden Centre.

The Estate is within the area of North Nottinghamshire known as the Dukeries. The name comes from four historic neighbouring Ducal estates; Welbeck, Clumber, Thoresby, and Worksop Manor. Today Welbeck is still a working estate and contains: a Grade 2 registered historic park designed in 1748 by Francis Richardson; ancient woodlands and forestry; a beautiful chain of lakes; farmland and grazing; a deer park; and some of the country’s most important rural heritage buildings. At its heart lies the historic Welbeck Abbey and Welbeck Village. The hamlet of Belph is 1 mile (1.6 km) south-east of Hodthorpe, 1 mile (1.6 km) south-east of Whitwell and 3 miles (4.8 km) south-west of Worksop. It is the easternmost settlement in Derbyshire and lies to the west of the A60 which links Worksop and Mansfield.

    ISSUE: 3 This is our third edition of “Edwinstowe Village News”. June was a big month in the calendar of the village, with the Jubilee celebrations and the visit of the Olympic Torch shortly afterwards. Inside you will find photos of the Edwinstowe “Jubilee Picnic” and the Edwinstowe Angels’ charity walk. There were still plenty of people who were determined not to be put off by the rain and came out to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee. Also inside, are pictures of the day the Olympic Torch came to Edwinstowe. People turned out in their thousands to welcome the Torch to “Robin Hood’s village”. It was one of those once in a lifetime days when people could say, “I was there.” Britain’s fickle weather didn’t smile kindly names, including Goffs, Benhams and Ococo had stalls on the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations- and Scott from Treet House did a hog roast for the Angels. organising any outdoor event in this country is a Some of Edwinstowe’s top talent performed throughout matter of chance.

  • Geographies of Belonging in the Nottinghamshire Coalfield: Affect, Temporality and Deindustrialisation
    GEOGRAPHIES OF BELONGING IN THE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COALFIELD: AFFECT, TEMPORALITY AND DEINDUSTRIALISATION Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Jay Emery School of Geography, Geology and the Environment University of Leicester December 2018 Abstract This thesis investigates the affective-temporal processes of belonging among mining families in the Nottinghamshire coalfield, examining how affective histories and memories of deindustrialisation and the coal industry mediate belongings. Literatures on the post- industrial working-class have noted how processes of deindustrialisation and industrial ruination have dismantled previous formations of belonging based around work, community and place. Research has also highlighted ways that the past emerges and surfaces in the present to unsettle and disrupt contemporary belongings. Analysis prescribed around specific methods belies the relationalities of discursive, embodied and sensorial textualities and distorts from how the past in the present is lived. Further, fundamental to understanding and recognising the past in the present is an attentive reading of those pasts from an historical perspective. Relatedly, social scientists have identified how affective class histories transfer intergenerationally and dispose working-class bodies to industrial forms of life that no longer exist. I suggest that the relationalities between belonging and memory, lived experience and intergenerational transferences need to be understood as one affective-temporal process. Drawing on weak theory, Anderson’s ‘analytics of affect’ and the genealogical method, I propose a multi-modal methodology emphasising attunement to the embodied, reflexive and more-than-representational modes that the past emerges, as well as a nuanced tracing of place pasts. Through this methodological and analytical framework, I conceive the Nottinghamshire coalfield as a set of temporal and affective enfolded blendings conditioning the capacities of residents to belong and resist alienation.

  • The Planning Policy Team Bolsover District Council the Arc High Street
    The Planning Policy Team Bolsover District Council The Arc High Street Clowne Derbyshire S43 4JY SENT BY E-MAIL ONLY TO [email protected] 15th June 2018 Dear Sir / Madam BOLSOVER PRE SUBMISSION LOCAL PLAN CONSULTATION Introduction Thank you for consulting with the Home Builders Federation (HBF) on the above mentioned consultation. The HBF is the principal representative body of the house-building industry in England and Wales. Our representations reflect the views of our membership, which includes multi-national PLC’s, regional developers and small, local builders. In any one year, our members account for over 80% of all new “for sale” market housing built in England and Wales as well as a large proportion of newly built affordable housing. We would like to submit the following representations and appear at future Examination Hearing Sessions to discuss these matters in greater detail. Duty to Co-operate Under S110 of the Localism Act 2011 which introduced S33A into the 2004 Act the Council must co-operate with other prescribed bodies to maximise the effectiveness of plan making. The Duty to Co-operate requires the Council to “engage constructively, actively and on an on-going basis”. The high level principles associated with the Duty are set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (paras 156, 178 – 181) and in 23 paragraphs of the National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG). In considering if the Duty has been satisfied it is important to consider the outcomes arising from the process and the influence of these outcomes on the Plan. A fundamental outcome is the delivery of full Objectively Assessed Housing Needs (OAHN) for market and affordable housing in a Housing Market Area (HMA) as set out by the NPPF (para 47) including the unmet needs of neighbouring authorities where it is reasonable to do so and consistent with sustainable development (para 182).
