There was 1 member of public present. Reference Agenda Item Action 94/2019-20 Apologies for Absence DCllr Dan Corbin, DCllr Neil Atkin 95/2019-20 Declaration of Interest 3 recorded regarding parking Cllr Clifton, Cllr Leggett and Cllr Hawksworth – it was agreed no reason to leave the meeting. 96/2019-20 Public Participation Sue Hampson asked for advice with regard to the development at Castle Donington – DCllr Watson advised any FS developments this close to the parish boundary will be notified and dealt with in the usual way. Wilne Lane is still an issue with overgrown trees and hedges, as is the Greenway; which is being dealt with by DCC. Overgrowth is an issue throughout the village, there is a mix of responsibility for the overgrowth including Canal & River Trust, SDDC, DCC and private householders. Cllr Perks and Cllr Lees spent a large amount of time completing a village walk and making note of areas requiring action and these are now all being actioned. Cllr Hawksworth gave details of restraints the farming community face with hedge cutting due to nesting season – there is also the issue of the weather causing excessive growth this year. Lady in Grey has been painted white – which is not in keeping with the area.

ILon&on Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., 124, Chancery Lane. 1908. — PREFACE. As promised in the last volume of the Marriage Registers of Derbyshire, the marriage records of St. Alkmund's form the first instalment of the Registers of the County Town. The Editors do not doubt that these will prove especially interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Michael's and also some village registers. It will be noticed that St. Alkmund's register begins at the earliest possible date, 1538, but of the remainder, two do not start till the seventeenth century and one, that of Quarndon, synchronizes with the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act. 1379092 It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series: Volume I.

    National Character 68. Needwood & South Derbyshire Claylands Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 68. Needwood & South Derbyshire Claylands Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • South Wingfield Place Analysis
    South Wingfield Place Analysis Analysis of the Character of the Area to support the policies in the South Wingfield Neighbourhood Plan Produced by members of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group March 2019 1 South Wingfield Place Analysis Executive Summary South Wingfield is a unique and special place that has a strong historic and rural character. The built environment consists of the main village of South Wingfield and the smaller hamlets of Oakerthorpe, Four Lane End, Moorwood Moor and Wingfield Park. This visual and physical connections with the landscape are a defining element that give residents and visitors to this area a memorable experience. The future of South Wingfield needs to be carefully managed to ensure its historical uniqueness and built and landscape character are protected. Each of the areas outlined in this document have their own character with different relationships between the development and the landscape, different development patterns and building forms. Future growth must happen in a way that maintains this sense of having an overall character but with distinguishable parts each of their own design. About South Wingfield South Wingfield is a rural parish in the Amber Valley Borough Council area containing a number of settlements and hamlets. In 2011 dwellings totalled 685 and the population was 1514. It is noted for its place in history, being the site of one of the top 2% of ancient monuments in the UK (Wingfield Manor). The town of Alfreton is its closest large neighbour with Matlock further to the west, Chesterfield to the North and Derby to the south. This area is steeped in history with 12th century churches, quarries, coalmines, rail and the features that relate to Industrial Revolution.

    ClearLead Consulting Limited, The Barn, Cadhay, Ottery St Mary, Devon, EX11 1QT, UK +44 (0) 1404 814 273 4th May 2020 By Email Only Dear Sir / Madam Amber Valley Borough Local Plan: Sustainability Appraisal - Scoping We are writing to you in order to gain your opinion on the enclosed Scoping Report which sets out the proposed scope and level of detail of the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) of the forthcoming Amber Valley Borough Local Plan. Amber Valley Borough Council (AVBC) formally resolved in May 2019 to withdraw the Submission Local Plan (March 2018) to enable the Spatial Vision, Strategic Objectives and Spatial Strategy Policies to be reviewed. At the Full Council meeting held in November 2019, the Borough Council agreed to prepare a new plan through to adoption by 31 March 2023, with a plan end date of at least 2038. The new Local Plan, when adopted, will replace the saved Local Plan policies of the current adopted plan. ClearLead Consulting Ltd has been appointed by AVBC to undertake the SA and as well as a parallel Habitats Regulations Assessment. Scoping Report The Scoping Report is the first output of the SA and provides baseline information on the environmental, social and economic characteristics of the plan area, including the likely evolution of the baseline position which would occur without the plan. The Scoping Report also sets out a methodology and framework for the assessment of the Local Plan and its alternatives at later stages of the Local Plan preparation process. It also identifies the significant effects that the assessment will need to focus on.
