Nottinghamshire County Council, County Hall, West Bridgford, Nottingham NG2 7QP ##MAILMERGE Do not delete this text or change the colour from white This matter is being dealt with by: Robert Portman Reference: SCR/3648 T 0115 9774291 E [email protected] W nottinghamshire.gov.uk Jenny Salt Fisher German The Estates Office Norman Court Ivanhoe Business Park By E-Mail Only Ashby de la Zouch Leicestershire LE65 2UZ Dear Jenny 4th May 2017 Proposal: EIA Screening Opinion Request - Installation of Sewer Rising Main between Cotgrave STW to Radcliffe STW and Final Effluent/Storm Sewer from Radcliffe STW to the River Trent discharge point Location: Cotgrave Sewage Treatment Works to Radcliffe on Trent Sewage Treatment Works to River Trent I refer to the above screening opinion request received by the Waste Planning Authority (WPA) on the 12th April 2017, as to whether the proposed Cotgrave Sewage Treatment Works (STW) to Radcliffe on Trent STW and Radcliffe STW to River Trent pipelines would necessitate assessment under the EIA Regulations as a proposal likely to have significant effects on the environment. The WPA considers that the proposed development would fall under Schedule 2 of the Regulations (Category 10 (l) Installations of long-distance aqueducts, with an area of works exceeding 1 hectare). Having assessed the proposed development against the selection criteria in Schedule 3 of the Regulations, the WPA considers that the proposed development does not require and Environmental Impact Assessment. The attached ‘Schedule 3 Form’ details how the Schedule 3 selection criteria have been considered against the proposed development. Section 5 (Screening Schedule 2 Projects) of the Planning Practice Guidance (dated 6 March 2014) states that environmental impact assessment will be required for developments which are likely to have significant effects on the environment; and which are located in, or partly in, a sensitive area. It is considered that the proposals for the Cotgrave STW and Radcliffe STW pipelines would not meet these criteria. The WPA acknowledges that the proposed development is classed as permitted development under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order) (England) 2015 Part 13, Class B (a) ‘development not above ground level required in connection with the provision, improvement, maintenance or repair if a sewer outfall pipe, sludge main or associated apparatus’. Therefore it does not require an application for planning permission in support of the proposals. The applicant should be aware that, as discussed, along areas in close proximity to and potentially crossing the route of the proposed pipeline there is a lapsed planning permission for a multi-user route along the former Cotgrave Colliery rail line. It may still be the intention of Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC) to complete this route and it is therefore advisable for the developer to discuss this further with NCC estates and NCC Countryside Services. Nottinghamshire County Council, County Hall, West Bridgford, Nottingham NG2 7QP Should you wish to discuss this matter further please do not hesitate to contact Robert Portman on the above number. Yours sincerely Mike Hankin Planning Applications Senior Practitioner Nottinghamshire County Council cc Rushcliffe Borough Council .

  • Nottingham-Derby Green Belt Review
    Nottingham-Derby Green Belt Review Lynette Hughes Nottinghamshire County Council and Steve Buffery Derbyshire County Council 24 August 2006 This is an information and discussion paper. It is the work of officers and has not been formally considered by any authority. It therefore does not represent the views of any authority or other body. Comments on the paper are welcome and can be forwarded to [email protected] or [email protected]. Executive Summary Page 1 of 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The review comprises: 1. The working paper drafted in March 2006 and finalised in April 2006 2. The assessment paper drafted in July 2006 and finalised in August 2006 3. The implications paper produced in August 2006 The review is the work of officers and has not been formally considered by any authority. The findings of the review have been considered in the formulation of the draft 3 Cities SRS and the draft Northern SRS which will form part of the Regional Plan to be published on 28 September 2006 and tested at a public examination in 2007. A project plan produced and agreed in December 2005 and added to in April 2006 have guided the review work. The review has started from the point that the principle of the green belt is well established and will remain. However, the review is related to the needs of development in the areas where there is green belt at present. General areas for possible extensions to the green belt have also been considered. The government's sustainable communities plan requires that the current area of green belt land within each region should be maintained or increased.
