PR3 3TA. (NGR 361270 437740). Site occupies an area of approximately 0.31 hectares. PSA Design were commissioned by Mrs Corbet to provide a Phase 1 Land Quality Assessment of the site. It is understood that consideration is being given to the redevelopment of the site as a residential development with associated car parking and landscaping. A development layout plan has been provided, which is included in this report as Drawing No. G1770/03. PSA Design’s investigation included a review of Groundwise data and Environment Agency searches. A summary of salient geo-environmental issues is provided in the table below. Issue Remarks Former uses Former uses of site have been a quarry, prior to recent inactivity on the site. The presence of several landfills within 250m of the site represents a medium risk of ground gas generation. Therefore, in accordance with CIRIA C665, and in Hazardous Gas view of the nature of the residential development, it is recommended that a minimum of six gas monitoring visits be undertaken over a three month period. Not within a mining area. Presence of several sandstone quarries within a 250m Mining & Quarrying radius of the study site. The site does not lie within an Environment Agency Flood Plain and is not likely Flooding & Drainage to flood in extreme flood events. Site drainage is likely to enter the existing drainage network. Anticipated Ground Thin fill deposits over sandstone/siltstone rock of the Carboniferous. Conditions Anticipated One potential source of contamination risk from infill materials. Contamination Preparatory Works Re-grading of site for purpose. Removal of vegetation. Strip footing foundations to competent bearing strata are anticipated to be the Anticipated Foundation most economic foundation solutions across the site subject to confirmatory site Solutions investigation. Intrusive investigation comprising window sampler boreholes across site, with Recommendations for gas/groundwater monitoring installations. Chemical soils analysis, with Ground Investigation subsequent gas and groundwater monitoring. Potential deeper foundations in localized fill. Shallow rock-head may be difficult Geotechnical Issues to excavate. Mature trees to margins may affect foundation depth and/or root barrier specification, dependent upon ground conditions. At this stage, anticipated significant developer abnormal costs relating to geo- environmental issues at the site are: • Capping of proposed gardens and landscaped areas with uncontaminated subsoil/topsoil, possibly re-used from site won sources or imported. • Removal and treatment/disposal of localised contaminated soils, if present. • Allowance for gas protection measures, prior to monitoring exercise 1 Mrs I Corbet Tan Yard, Longridge Phase 1 Land Quality Assessment Some further work is required, most notably: • Intrusive ground investigation • Services Search • Topographic Survey, including tree survey 2 Mrs I Corbet Tan Yard, Longridge Phase 1 Land Quality Assessment 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 Terms of Reference 2.1.1 PSA Design were commissioned by Mrs Corbet to carry out a Phase 1 Land Quality Assessment at land off Tan Yard, Longridge. This report is in response to outline planning concerns from Ribble Valley Borough Council. 2.1.2 The agreed scope of works included: • A site walkover and inspection • An assessment of land use history • Determination of the site’s environmental setting • Assessment of anticipated ground conditions, including potential contaminants • Assessment of anticipated foundation and engineering issues associated with redevelopment for an residential end-use • Provision of recommendations for an appropriate ground investigation 2.2 Proposed Development 2.2.1 It is understood that consideration is being given to the redevelopment of the site a single domestic residence, with associated gardens and infrastructure. A development layout plan has been provided (Drawing No. G1770/03). 3 Mrs I Corbet Tan Yard, Longridge Phase 1 Land Quality Assessment 3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 3.1 General 3.1.1 The site location is shown on Drawing Number G1770/01. Site details are summarised in the Table below. Current site layout plan shown in Drawing Number G1770/02. Detail Remarks Location Within NE outskirts of Longridge. Address Tan Yard, Longridge. PR3 3TA. NGR 361270 437740 Area 0.31 ha Known None made available. services 3.2 Site Features 3.2.1 A PSA Design Engineer completed a walkover survey of the site on the 17th July 2013 and the salient features are presented below. A selection of site photographs are included in the report as Appendix F. 3.2.2 The existing site is currently unused, with no development on the site. 3.2.3 Grassed vegetation is found within central southern areas of the site, with various mature trees and shrubs along the N, E and particularly the NW perimeter of the site. Himalayan Balsam noted within small patches within the woodland/shrub areas to the central N boundary area. 3.2.4 Ground is on various levels within the site, with the SW area, close to Tan Yard on a flat lower terrace, with the ground rising to the W in a second flat (grassed) terrace area, approximately 2m higher than Tan Yard highway. The ground to the N and E of this higher terrace rising again steeply to the site boundary. Due to the dense nature of the NW woodland, it is difficult to judge the ground level within the thin development strip to the NW of the main site area. The land to the W of the site boundary rises steeply, whilst the ground to the S and N drops away gradually. 3.2.5 Access to site off highway, Tan Yard. No hard-standing on the site. 3.2.6 Some bare vegetation patches within the site show fill materials within the higher parts of the NE area of the site, a very gravelly clay fill. To the N of the site within the caravan park, there appears to be a rock outcrop at the surface. A single house is present to the SE of the site. 3.2.7 Existing salient features are summarised in the Table below and shown in Drawing Number G1770/02. 4 Mrs I Corbet Tan Yard, Longridge Phase 1 Land Quality Assessment Feature Remarks Current Access Tan Yard, to the S.

But you may not have realised that our graduate placement, Jayne Ashe, has made a head start and has been busy supporting and co-ordinating a new 'Pendle Hill Volunteers Group' over the last year. The volunteers have been able to carry out small-scale tasks to improve the local environment of the hill, including woodland management, surveying, removal of invasives and hedgelaying amongst other things. We see this group growing and developing as the Pendle Hill LP begins its delivery phase next year. Ribble Rivers Trust have been going from strength to strength recently, with new initiatives and projects sprouting up across the AONB, including the ambitious and exciting 'Ribble Life Together' catchment- wide initiative and the River Loud Farmer Facilitation Group.

The number and distribution of salmonid redds throughout salmonid catchments provides invaluable information on the range and extent of spawning by both salmon and sea trout. A project was initiated by the Fisheries Science and Management Team of Central Area, NW Region in liason with the Flood Defence function. The main objective of this project was to assess redd count data for Central Area and attempt to quantify these data in order to produce a grading system that would highlight key salmonid spawning areas. By showing which were the main areas for salmon and sea trout spawning, better informed decisions could be made on whether or not in-stream Flood Defence works should be given the go-ahead. The main salmonid catchments in Central Area were broken into individual reaches, approximately 1 km in length. The number of redds in these individual reaches were then calculated and a density per lkm value was obtained for each reach. A grading system was devised which involved looking at the range of density per km values and dividing this by five to produce 5 classes, A - E.

  • 1868 Drought
    THE EMERGENCY WATER SUPPLY FOR PRESTON 1868 PUMPING FROM THE RIVER HQDDER DROUGHT AT DQEFORD BRIDGE In 1953 Preston's Water Engineer, Mr Oakes, produced an excellent booklet called "Water Supplies through Three Centuries". He described how, as Preston expanded and the wells and springs within the town became inadequate, it looked towards the hills. The first reservoir was made about 1832 near Gammull Lane, then the Grimsargh reservoirs about 1835 and the first of the reservoirs near Longridge about 1840. For 25 years, between 1850 and 1875, Preston obtained much of its water supply directly from the River Loud near the Derby Arms. "The Loud water was hard and grossly polluted" and there was not much of it in dry weather. The Stonyhurst records for 1868 show that there was very little rain in May, June and July. By August, Preston's reservoirs were dry. The urgent need to maintain a supply of water to the town demanded a quick solution. Pumping from the Ribble was considered but analysis showed that the water was quite unfit for domestic purposes. Hodder water proved to be ideal, and arrangements were made by the end of August to obtain it. The ingenious emergency measures, to raise water 120 feet above the river Hodder and run it more than a mile to the existing Longridge Fell catchment area reflect great credit on all concerned. Mr Dakes wrote that water was pumped continuously from 27th August to the end of October. On Thursday September 10th the emergency pumping scheme was inspected by a deputation from Preston Corporation who left Winckley Square, pulled by five horses.
