1 Introduction AECOM Island Gas Ltd – Springs Road Exploratory Wellsite 1 1 Introduction 1.1 Context This Appendix comprises a Cultural Heritage Assessment which considers heritage issues associated with the Proposed Development at Springs Road, Misson, Nottinghamshire. Please note, this Appendix must be read in conjunction with the Main Text of the Environmental Statement (ES) which contains: a detailed description of the Proposed Development; Figures showing the development; and a summary of other assessments undertaken in relation to the Proposed Development which may be relevant. A full description of the Proposed Development is given in Chapter 4 of the ES. 1.2 Scope and Methodology 1.2.1 Study Area For the designated assets (listed buildings, scheduled monuments, world heritage sites, conservation areas, registered parks and gardens, registered battlefields), a search area of 5 km was used. A search area of 5 km ensures that designated assets are identified to a sufficient distance to anticipate or identify any likely setting impacts. For non- designated assets (archaeological sites, findspots, locally listed buildings), an initial search area of 1 km was used to obtain data from the Nottinghamshire Historic Environment Record (HER) and the Historic England Archive (HEA). The reference numbers are stated in the text in bold and shown on Figures K1 and K2. 1.2.2 Sources The designated heritage assets within this assessment are identified with their National Heritage List number. The non- designated heritage assets are identified with their Nottinghamshire Historic Environment Record number. All heritage assets are referenced in bold and tabulated in Annex K1. 1.2.3 Consultation AECOM has consulted with both Historic England and Nottinghamshire County Council’s archaeologist in preparing this assessment. 1.2.4 Assessment Criteria The significance (heritage value) of a heritage asset is derived from its heritage interest which may be archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic (NPPF Annex 2, Glossary). The significance of a place is defined by the sum of its heritage values. English Heritage identify these as being evidential, historical, aesthetic and communal (Conservation principles, English Heritage 2008, 27-32). The setting of an asset can also contribute to significance. Taking these criteria into account, each identified heritage asset can be assigned a level of significance (heritage value) in accordance with a four-point scale as set in Table 1.1. Appendix K: Cultural Heritage Assessment July 2015 AECOM Island Gas Ltd – Springs Road Exploratory Wellsite 2 Table 1.1: Criteria for determining the significance (heritage value) of heritage assets Significance (Heritage Value) Criteria High Assets of inscribed international importance, such as World Heritage Sites, Grade I and II* listed buildings, Grade I and II* Registered Historic Parks and Gardens, Registered Battlefields, Scheduled Monuments, Non-designated archaeological assets of schedulable quality and importance. Medium Grade II listed buildings, Grade II listed Registered Historic Parks and Gardens, Conservation Areas, Locally listed buildings included on an approved local list Non-designated heritage assets of a regional resource value as identified through consultation. Low Non-designated heritage assets of a local resource value as identified through consultation, Non-designated heritage assets whose heritage values are compromised by poor preservation or damaged so that too little remains to justify inclusion into a higher grade Having identified the significance of the heritage asset, the next stage in the assessment is to identify the level and degree of impact to an asset arising from the development. Impacts may arise during construction or operation and can be temporary or permanent. Impacts can occur to the physical fabric of the asset or affect its setting. The level and degree of impact (impact rating) is assigned with reference to a five-point scale as set out in Table 1.2. Table 1.2: Criteria for determining level and degree of impact (impact rating) on heritage assets Impact Rating Description of Impact High Change such that the significance of the asset is totally altered or destroyed. Comprehensive change to setting affecting significance, resulting in a serious loss in our ability to understand and appreciate the resource and its historical context and setting. Medium Change such that the significance of the asset is affected. Noticeably different change to setting affecting significance, resulting in erosion in our ability to understand and appreciate the resource and its historical context and setting. Low Change such that the significance of the asset is slightly affected. Slight change to setting affecting significance resulting in a change in our ability to understand and appreciate the resource and its historical context and setting. Minimal Changes to the asset that hardly affect significance. Minimal change to the setting of an asset that have little effect on significance resulting in no real change in our ability to understand and appreciate the resource and its historical context and setting. In respect of cultural heritage an assessment of the level and degree of impact is made in consideration of any scheme design mitigation (embedded mitigation) or additional mitigation proposed during design development, for example landscaping, which themselves can be a source of impact. An assessment of the level of significant residual effects, having taken into consideration mitigation, is determined by cross-referencing between the significance (heritage value) of the asset (Table 1.1) and the impact rating (Table 1.2). The resultant level of significant effect of the scheme on each heritage asset (Table 1.3) can be negligible, adverse or beneficial. Appendix K: Cultural Heritage Assessment July 2015 AECOM Island Gas Ltd – Springs Road Exploratory Wellsite 3 Table 1.3: Criteria for determining the level of significant effect Impact Rating Significance High Medium Low Minimal High Major Major/ Moderate Moderate Minor Medium Major Moderate Minor Minor Low Moderate/ Minor Minor Minor Negligible Effects of major or moderate significance are considered to be significant and are therefore reported within the ES. In instances within the matrix where there is a transition between levels of significant effect, the actual reported level of significant effect is a matter of professional judgement. This has considered the heritage value of the asset and the degree to which the level of impact will affect heritage significance. Within the NPPF, impacts affecting the significance of heritage assets are considered in terms of harm and there is a requirement to determine whether the level of harm amounts to ‘substantial harm’ or ‘less than substantial harm’ [Paragraph 132 -135 NPPF, 2012]. The on-line Planning Practice Guidance assists in determining whether works constitute substantial harm, and the guidance is that for harm to be substantial the impact needs to go ‘to the heart of why the place is worthy of designation’. The ES reports on the significance of effect and there is no direct correlation between the significance of effect and the level of harm caused to heritage significance. A major significant effect on a heritage asset would, however, more often be the basis by which to determine that the level of harm to the significance of the asset would be substantial. A moderate significant effect is unlikely to meet the test of substantial harm and would therefore more often be the basis by which to determine that the level of harm to the significance of the asset would be less than substantial. In all cases determining the level of harm to the significance of the asset arising from development impact is one of professional judgement. Appendix K: Cultural Heritage Assessment July 2015 AECOM Island Gas Ltd – Springs Road Exploratory Wellsite 4 2 Legislation and Planning Policy 2.1 Legislation The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 imposes a duty on the Secretary of State to compile lists of buildings of special architectural or historic interest. In consideration of proposals within the setting of Listed Buildings, the 1990 Act establishes a requirement to have special regard to the desirability of preserving that setting (Section 66 (1)): “In considering whether to grant planning permission for development which affects a listed building or its setting, the local planning authority or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State shall have special regard to the desirability of preserving the building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses”. Section 72 of the 1990 Act establishes a desirability to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of a conservation area. A conservation area is an area of local interest designated principally by the Local Planning Authority. The Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 is the central piece of legislation which protects the archaeological resource. The first section of the Act requires the Secretary of State for National Heritage to maintain a schedule of nationally important sites. For the purposes of the Act, a monument is defined as: “a) any building, structure or work, whether above or below the surface of the land, and any cave or excavation; b) any site comprising the remains of any such building, structure or work or of any cave or excavation; and c) any site comprising, or comprising the remains

C ONTENTS TO J UNE 2017 AIRFIELD REVIEW The Journal of the Airfield Research Group The journal was initially called Airfield Report , then ARG Newsletter, finally becoming Airfield Review in 1985. The number of pages has varied from initially just 6, occasio- nally to up to 60 (a few issues in c.2004). Typically 44, recent journals have been 48. There appear to have been three versions of the ARG index/ table of contents produced for the magazine since its conception. The first was that by David Hall c.1986, which was a very detailed publication and was extensively cross-referenced. For example if an article contained the sentence, ‘The squadron’s flights were temporarily located at Tangmere and Kenley’, then both sites would appear in the index. It also included titles of ‘Books Reviewed’ etc Since then the list has been considerably simplified with only article headings noted. I suspect that to create a current cross-reference list would take around a day per magazine which equates to around eight months work and is clearly impractical. The second version was then created in December 2009 by Richard Flagg with help from Peter Howarth, Bill Taylor, Ray Towler and myself.

    No. 50 Squadron Royal Air Force In World War Two The Diary of a WWII Bomber Squadron- Part 1 to Part 4, 1937 to 1942. INTRODUCTION This document is a pastiche of copied information; it does not purport to be original in any way. It is therefore without copyright. It simply chronicles certain events from the Squadron’s formation in 1939 onward. The basic concept began with extracts from official documents titled AIR/ 485, 486 & 487, the Squadron Operational Record Books (Form 540 and Appendices Form 541) held by the National Archives at Kew, London which were originally available only for personal viewing at the Archives at Kew, London but which are now available on-line (for a fee). These records very briefly summarise each ‘operational’ mission. Overlaid on this was information on the human losses suffered by 50 Squadron taken from the painstakingly researched and meticulously produced document by Flt. Lt. P.C. Jacobs, RAF and the No. 50 and No. 61 Squadron Association, the “Roll Of Honour 1939 – 1945”. Finally, further information garnered from Internet and journal sources has been over-laid to expand on some of the incidents recorded briefly, by necessity, in these Operational Record Books. Wherever possible, first hand accounts have been referenced. Such is the nature of a document such as this, written some 70 years after the event, that accounts published by some authoritative, and some not so authoritative, sources have had to be taken at face value. Responsibility for any inaccuracies is accepted by the ‘author’ but I have tried to cross reference as much information as possible within the constraints of budget (i.e.

  • List of Royal Canadian Air Force Stations - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 16
    List of Royal Canadian Air Force stations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 16 List of Royal Canadian Air Force stations From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a list of stations operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), or stations where RCAF units existed, from 1924 until unification into the Canadian Forces on February 1, 1968. Some of the RCAF stations listed in this article link to facility descriptions containing the prefix "CFB" (Canadian Forces Base) or "CFS" (Canadian Forces Station). These facilities were at one time RCAF stations, but changed to CFBs or CFSs following unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968. Most former RCAF stations still in use by the Canadian Forces are now operated by Air Command (AIRCOM). During the 1990s, most AIRCOM squadrons on Canadian Forces Bases were reorganized into "wings" as the primary lodger unit. Consequently, many Canadian Forces Bases used as air force bases are frequently referred to without the prefix CFB, e.g., "CFB Shearwater" is also referred to as "12 Wing Shearwater", with 12 Wing being the primary lodger unit at CFB Shearwater. All RCAF facilities followed the naming tradition of the Royal Air Force, whereby the prefix RCAF (vs. RAF) was affixed.

NO.: 1/15/01498/CDM PROPOSAL: TO DEVELOP A HYDROCARBON WELLSITE AND DRILL UP TO TWO EXPLORATORY HYDROCARBON WELLS (ONE VERTICALLY AND ONE HORIZONTALLY) BY USE OF A DRILLING RIG TOGETHER WITH ASSOCIATED ANCILLARY WORKS. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL BE CARRIED OUT IN FOUR PHASES: PHASE 1 - WELLSITE CONSTRUCTION; PHASE 2 - DRILLING OF UP TO TWO EXPLORATORY WELLS FOR HYDROCARBONS INCLUDING POTENTIAL SHALE GAS (THE FIRST ONE VERTICAL AND THE SECOND ONE HORIZONTAL); PHASE 3 - SUSPENSION OF WELLS AND ASSESSMENT OF DRILLING RESULTS; PHASE 4 - SITE DECOMMISSIONING, WELL ABANDONMENT AND RESTORATION. LOCATION: LAND OFF SPRINGS ROAD, MISSON APPLICANT: ISLAND GAS LIMITED Purpose of Report 1. To consider a planning application for a hydrocarbon well site and the drilling of up to two exploratory hydrocarbon wells, the first vertical and the second horizontal. The proposed development is on land off Springs Road, Misson. The key issues relate to visual and landscape impact, flood risk, noise, ecology, traffic, air quality, contamination, unexploded ordnance and heritage. The recommendation is to grant planning permission subject to conditions and the signing of a legal agreement. 2. No hydraulic fracturing is proposed as part of this planning application. The Site and Surroundings 3. The proposed exploratory well site is located in the north of Nottinghamshire, within the district of Bassetlaw and the parish of Misson. The site is approximately 3.2km north-east of the centre of the village of Misson (see Plan 1). 4. The site is accessed off Springs Road, which joins the B1396 (Bank End Road/Sanderson‟s Bank) to the north and to the south enters Misson.

  • RAF Pocklington and Local Area Losses Aircraft Accidents & Losses at and Near RAF Pocklington in WW2
    RAF Pocklington and Local Area Losses Aircraft Accidents & Losses at and near RAF Pocklington in WW2 The Halifax HR792 shown here made an emergency landing on the Isle of Lewis in WW2 and has been restored by the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington where it is now on permanent display. Although HR792 was not an RAF Pocklington aircraft, it is representative of the type flown from RAF Pocklington by No. 405 Squadron from April 1942 and later No. 102 Squadron to May 1945. Evident is the radome for the H2S radar scanner mounted under the central fuselage; also the much-revised fin & rudder shape which transformed handling and thus flight safety (see Part 1). © Pocklington & District Local History Group Aircraft Accidents & Losses at and near RAF Pocklington in WW2 Introduction © Copyright notice The article on the WW2 airfield at RAF Pocklington on the Pocklington & District Local This article is copyright the Pocklington & Local District History Group and no part may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including History Group website included details of several aircraft accidents and losses within the airfield photo-copying, recording or any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in boundary and the adjacent Pocklington parish. writing from Andrew Sefton.
