Planning & Sustainability DEVELOPMENT CONTROL AND REGULATION COMMITTEE 27 March 2013 A Report by the Assistant Director - Planning & Sustainability _____________________________________________________________________ Application No: 2/12/9013 & 2/12/9015 District: Allerdale Applicant: Mr D A Harrison Parish: Holme Abbey Parish Council Waverton Nr Wigton Received: 31 October 2012 PROPOSAL: Section 73 Application to vary condition 1 of Planning Consent 2/08/9017 to extend time limit for operation of concrete batching plant and the restoration of the site (Ref. 2/12/9013) Aldoth Quarry & Landfill Site, Aldoth, Abbeytown, Silloth, Wigton Section 73 Application to vary condition 2 of Planning Consent 2/08/9016 to extend time limit for use for aggregate processing and the restoration of the site (Ref. 2/12/9015) Dixon Hill Quarry, Aldoth, Abbeytown, Silloth, Wigton, CA7 4NB _____________________________________________________________________ 1.0 RECOMMENDATION 1.1 That planning permission is Granted for the reasons stated in Appendix 1 and subject to the conditions in Appendices 2 and 3. 2.0 THE PROPOSAL 2.1 The proposal is to allow time extensions to both Dixon Hill Quarry and Aldoth Quarry until 2022. The first application (2/12/9013) is to vary condition no 1 of planning permission 2/08/9017 to extend the time limit for operation of the concrete batching plant and the restoration of the site. The second application (2/12/9015) is to extend the time limit for the use for aggregate processing and the restoration of the site. 2.2 Aldoth Quarry and Dixon Hill Quarry are adjacent to each other. Access to Dixon Hill Quarry can only be achieved by access arrangements from Aldoth Quarry. Reserves of sand and gravel at Aldoth Quarry were worked out many years ago and it has also been used as a landfill site for around 25 years until its closure in 2009. North of the main landfill area is a concrete batching plant that produces ready mix concrete for local customers. The landfilled area has now been capped and is restored to agriculture there is a gas control system which periodically flares gas when sufficient is accumulated. 2.3 Initially Aldoth Quarry was used for the extraction of sand. When this was worked out, an extension was approved at Dixon Hill Quarry which in turn has also been worked out. Sand extraction is currently from High House Quarry which is 1.9 km north west of Dixon Hill/Aldoth Quarry. All processing of material takes place at Dixon Hill Quarry. 2.4 On completion of sand extraction at Aldoth the majority of the site was landfilled and restored. However a small area to the north east of the site contains the operational concrete batching plant and associated machinery. This area remains to be capped and restored. Dixon Hill is currently used for sand and aggregate processing with a portable washing and screening plant to augment the facilities at High House. 3.0 CONSULTATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS 3.1 Allerdale Borough Council – No objections. 3.2 Highway Authority – Subject to the works proposed on the U2046 being completed as agreed, I have no objection to the extension of time. 3.3 Environment Agency – No objection to the proposal to extend the time limit for the operation of the concrete batching plant and the restoration of the site. We would prefer the site to reach final restoration with capping and gas system completed as soon as practicable. 3.4 The local Member - Mr AJ Markley has been notified. 3.5 Holme Abbey Parish Council – Have been consulted on the application. 3.6 Two letters of representation have been received. Both are concerned with levels of traffic on the highway and the state of the highway through the village of Abbeytown. 4.0 PLANNING ASSESSMENT History 4.1 D. A. Harrison is a long established Cumbrian firm whose main office is in Waverton, Wigton. The Company has a diverse range of business interests including storage, haulage, sand, gravel and aggregates, ready mix concrete, skip hire and waste recovery. They operate from a number of sites between Wigton and Silloth. They currently employ around 130 people as well as numerous indirect jobs for contractors and other specialist services. 4.2 The site has a history of working from the early part of the 1970’s. Firstly for the removal of sand and gravel and then in the late 1970’s part of the site was used as a landfill site. The landfill site closed in around 2009 due to the changes in Waste Management Licences and has since been restored. A concrete batching plant has been on site since 1977. 4.3 The batching plant has been run on a number of temporary permissions. The last permission was in 2008 which required this to expire on 31 December 2012 and the site to be fully restored by 31 December 2013. The aggregate storage and processing area expires on 31 December 2013. 4.4 The 2008 application for the batching plant was granted temporary time consent to allow the applicant to find an alternative site. Alternative sites in the north of the County are few and far between due to the lack of available industrial land in a predominately rural area. An alternative site was identified at Moota however a major constraint to this site is the cost of a new access onto A595 and the transferring of plant and machinery to the site as well as access to the market in which they currently serve. The Moota site would be less sustainable as this would increase the companies road miles. Policy 4.5 The scheme has been considered against and is compliant with the Cumbria Minerals and Waste Development Framework Core Strategy and Development Control Policies, National Planning Policy Framework and Allerdale Local Plan. 4.6 The scheme complies with the Cumbria Minerals and Waste Development Framework Core Strategy Policy CS 1 – Sustainable location and design as the scheme reduces road miles, Policy CS 5 – Restoration and Aftercare, the proposal includes a comprehensive restoration and aftercare scheme which would enhance the area. Policy CS 13 - Supply of Minerals, minerals need to be worked where they are found. Generic Development Control Policies DC1 – Traffic and Transport reducing minerals road miles, the site is located well to its customer demand and is close to strategic road networks. Policy DC2 – General Criteria demonstrating noise levels, blast vibration and air over pressure, the site is located close to residential properties which are in the ownership of the applicant. Policy DC 16 – Aftercare and restoration, a comprehensive aftercare and restoration scheme has been submitted. 4.7 National Planning Policy Framework supports the need to work minerals as these are essential to support sustainable economic growth and our quality of life. It is important to maintain a sufficient supply of minerals. 4.8 The proposal also complies with Allerdale Local Plan policies EN 10 - Restoration and aftercare as a comprehensive scheme has been included. Time Limit 4.9 It is proposed to extend the life of the operations at Dixon Hill and Aldoth Quarries to 31 March 2022 which would coinside with the operations at High House Quarry where the material for the use in Aldoth and Dixon Hill Quarries is sought. This would bring the operations in line with each other. The close proximity of the workings of High House Quarry and Aldoth/Dixon Hill does reduce minerals and waste road miles by having the facilities close to each other. Highways 4.10 The site is accessed from C2009 Abbeytown to Aikshaw road this links the B5302 (Wigton to Silloth) and B5301 (Aspatria to Silloth) roads. This is a local road used by many forms of traffic accessing different establishments along the route. 4.11 The majority of site traffic accessing the site is from the east (Abbeytown direction) as the majority of the material required is for jobs to the east of the County. 4.12 Concern has been raised by two local residents with regards to HGV’s using the highway and the state of the road and verges. This is a “C” class road which means it has a lower traffic density to A and B Class roads. However it doesn’t make it any less popular than B Class roads. The road is wide enough for two cars to pass. However, the passing of HGV’s and farm vehicles can be quite tight and they sometimes need to pull in to the available passing places to allow each other to safely pass. The road serves numerous farmsteads thereby a vast number of farm vehicles use the road on an uncontrolled basis. Whereas the operations at Aldoth Quarry and Dixon Hill are controlled under an appropriately worded condition. The road is fairly straight and has good visibility. One section 1.8 km in length and is in a straight line thereby larger vehicles can see each other and have adequate time to pull in and make way for each other to pass safely. 4.13 The road is limited to 30 mph in Abbeytown once out of Abbeytown it is a national speed limit. As with all roads some wear and tear has taken place over time and the road has started to narrow with the build up of debris on the side of the road. 4.14 The applicant has been in negotiations with the Highway Authority who originally objected to the extension and recommended refusal of the scheme. Since this time the applicant has been in consultation with the Highway Authority to resolve the matter and has agreed to carry out road improvements which include the re- surfacing of the U2046 (road between High House and Aldoth Quarries).

    Mapping the Late Medieval and Post Medieval Landscape of Cumbria Two Volumes Volume 1: Text Caron Egerton Newman Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology Newcastle University Submitted: June 2014 Abstract This study is an analysis of the development of rural settlement patterns and field systems in Cumbria from the later medieval period through to the late eighteenth century. It uses documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. This evidence is interpreted utilising the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), map regression and maps created by the author, summarising and synthesising historical and archaeological data. The mapped settlement data, in particular, has been manipulated using tools of graphic analysis available within a Graphical Information System (GIS). The initial product is a digital map of Cumbria in the late eighteenth century, based on the county-scale maps of that period, enhanced with information taken from enclosure maps and awards, and other post medieval cartographic sources. From this baseline, an interpretation of the late medieval landscape was developed by adding information from other data sources, such as place names and documentary evidence. The approach was necessarily top-down and broad brush, in order to provide a landscape-scale, sub-regional view. This both addresses the deficiencies within the standard historical approach to landscape development, and complements such approaches. Standard historical approaches are strong on detail, but can be weak when conclusions based on localised examples are extrapolated and attributed to the wider landscape. The methodology adopted by this study allows those local analyses to be set within a broader landscape context, providing another tool to use alongside more traditional approaches to historic landscape studies.

  • Wirral Revisited University of the West of England, Bristol
    1 Wirral revisited University of the West of England, Bristol This article has two goals. The first is to document fully the recurrent English place-name Wirral and a number of similar ones which can be shown, in some cases definitely, in others probably or possibly, to have the same origin, as well as others which appear to have the same first element. The second is to re-interrogate the widely accepted meaning of the Old English word wīr which is, beyond reasonable doubt, the first element of the name, because the grounds for the general belief that it denotes the shrub known as bog myrtle or sweet gale (Myrica gale) have not yet been properly explored. The article is structured as follows: 1. A dataset of place-names including the word wīr 1.1 Wirral and names of (probably or possibly) identical origin 1.2 Other names including wīr 1.3 Undecidable cases 1.4 Geographical analysis of the distribution of names in wīr 1.5 Summary and prospect 2. A discussion of the possible range of senses of wīr and their history 2.1 Myrtle 2.2 Wire as a lexical item and in dialect plant taxonomy 2.3 Reflection on the Old English compound wīr + h(e)alh 3. Conclusion Note that forms cited from EPNS county volumes are dated, but not further referenced. Full references to original documents can be found in the relevant volumes. Forms taken from other sources are referenced conventionally. 2 ***************** 1. A DATASET OF PLACE-NAMES INCLUDING THE WORD WĪR 1.1 wīr + h(e)alh ‘nook, corner, angle’ On the range of applications of the word h(e)alh see Gelling (1984, 100–11), Gelling and Cole (2000, 123–33), and on its etymology and a specific application, Stiles (1997).

    Introduction 1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires that local planning authorities identify sufficient deliverable sites to provide five year supply of housing against their housing requirements. This statement outlines the position of Allerdale Borough Council. Housing delivery performance 1.2 The Council’s five year housing supply target is derived from Policy S3 of the Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1). This requires that 5,471 new dwellings to be delivered over the period 2011 to 2029. This generates a delivery target of 304 per annum1. 1.3 Table 1 illustrates that 1,318 dwellings had been completed from the period April 2011 to March 2016 against the Local Plan target of 1,520. This equates to an undersupply of 202 dwellings. Table 1: Housing delivery performance 2011 - 2015 Monitoring Annual Cumulative Annual Cumulative Annualised Cumulative period Completions Completions Shortfall Shortfall Target Target 2011/12 192 192 -112 -112 304 304 2012/13 183 375 -121 -233 304 608 2013/14 256 631 -48 -281 304 912 2014/15 302 933 -2 -283 304 1216 2015/16 385 1318 +81 -202 304 1520 Calculating the housing target 1.4 The Council has adopted the stance that the undersupply of 202 dwellings should be addressed in the short term and therefore has been added to the five-year land supply target in full. 1.5 Table 2 illustrates that the local plan housing supply target for next five years (April 2016 - March 2021) is 1,520 dwellings (i.e. 304 x 5) Table 2: Housing supply target 2016 - 2021 2016/17 304 304 2017/18 304 608 2018/19 304 912 2019/20 304 1216 2020/21 304 1520 1 Includes rounding 1.6 The NPPF requires that local planning authorities add 5% buffer to their 5 years housing supply target.
