Viewpoints & Landscape Visual Effects– March 2018 (HL 116 18 00 03) Issue 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 HLDA have been appointed by AAH Planning Consultants to respond to the letter (27.10.17) from the arboricultural officer at Staffordshire Moorland District Council (SMDC) with regard to viewpoints and the potential visual effect the proposed housing could produce within the landscape of the urban fringe on a site South of Thorncliffe Road, Leek, Staffordshire. 1.2 This response will consider data which accompanied the initial application in addition with the Visual Review data and subsequent data collected during site visits (3No - HLDA). Photo viewpoints suggested by both HLDA & the SMDC officer have considered the principal sensitive receptors. It will subsequently provide a summary of landscape character and visual baseline conditions of the site and surrounding area. This response will also consider the broad potential effects which may arise as a result of the proposed residential development at the site. This will indicate the likely significance of any potential effects on the most sensitive identified landscape and visual receptors. The opinion is based on the proposed site layout as shown on Drawing CAL030517/02PA/A: Proposed Indicative Site Layout, produced by CLENDON Architecture. 1.3 This response will consider only the scope of landscape and visual effects, elements such as highways, traffic, housing target figures, heritage significance, ecology and planning are detailed in the applications accompanying assessment documentation. Aims and Objectives 1.4 The aim of this response is to provide clarification and explanation that broadly summarises potential issues in relation to landscape character and visual amenity of the site and surrounding area which may arise as a result of any proposed residential development. The response will potentially highlight areas of opportunities and constraints with regard to landscape and visual amenity within the site and the immediate surrounding context, providing additional clarification and detail for the previous landscape and Visual Review (LVR). 1.5 The objective of this additional study is to assist in avoiding or minimising potential adverse effects that may occur as a result of the proposed residential development and where appropriate, advise on opportunities for environmental mitigation and enhancement.

Viewpoints & Landscape Visual Effects– March 2018 (HL 116 18 00 03) Issue 1 2.0 BASELINE DESCRIPTION National Landscape Character 2.1 The site is located within National Character Area (NCA) 64: The Potteries & Churnet Valley (for details please refer to Appendix 1: National Character Area 64 Assessment description). Adjacent to National Character Area (NCA) 53: South West Peak. Regional and Local Landscape Character 2.2 The Churnet Valley Landscape Character Assessment was produced by Staffordshire Moorlands District Council (2011) presents a detailed study of regional and local landscape character within Churnet Valley. Within the assessment the sub area (5b) of Leek east is identified as Gritstone Highland Fringe with descriptions of an area that is showing evidence of suburban expansion; constructive guidance is offered within this assessment for mitigation of potential development. The following more detailed landscape character studies are also relevant and have been referenced within this report: . Regional Level - County Character Areas . Local Level - Broad Character Areas, Moorlands District Council 2.3 At the regional level the proposed development site is located within The Potteries & Churnet Valley (NCA:64). The following characteristic are relevant to this assessment: . Located in North Staffordshire the NCA 64 presents a strong contrast between the Industrialised landscape of the Potteries and the pastoral and the dissected hills of the Churnet and Dove Valleys. The remnants of the rich industrial history will always be a partner in the developing symbiosis of the old with the new, the developing residential and recreational with the post-industrial, ecological and the regional heritage. The north and east of the NCA 64 are transitional in character between the lowlands and the upland landscape of the White Peaks. The Churnet Valley and Coombes Valley (SSSI) semi-natural ancient woodland is an exemplar of the woodland in Staffordshire. Visitor pressure will only increase and is likely to influence traffic congestion in line with the increasing population. Thorncliffe Road is typical with relatively sparse, poorly maintained hedgerows with some scattered semi-mature trees. Irregular fields in the area are generally evidence of combined agricultural holdings with predominantly pasture grazing and stock rearing. The rich heritage of coal/iron extraction of the area has limited effect on the surrounding environment. The area is characterised by the Leek’s settlement urban fringe to the west and the scattered farmsteads and hamlets of the valley slopes. The transport routes are strongly associated features of NCA 64 with primary routes A34, A50. A53 and A52 and in particular the Buxton Road (A53) which is the A route most closely associated with the proposed site. The A53, which is at the western end of Thorncliffe Road, is the primary route between Leek & Buxton and also provides access to the National Cycle Network. The nearest connection to the National Cycle Network 559 is west of Leek. The Churnet Valley runs through a smoothly undulating upland pasture HL 116 17 00 00/Thorncliffe/LVR/2017 6 Land South of Thorncliffe Road, Leek, Staffordshire. Viewpoints & Landscape Visual Effects– March 2018 (HL 116 18 00 03) Issue 1 landscape linked by short, steeply wooded stream valleys or ‘cloughs’. 2.4 At a local level the site is located within Landscape Character Type Ancient Slopes and Valley Farmlands (Sub Type 5b) East Leek, which includes Thorncliffe Road within the Landscape Character Type (LCT) Sub area 5b. The LCT is described as: . Strongly undulating or sloping landscape cut by small scale steep sided stream valleys . Small scale mainly ancient irregular fields bounded by trees, hedgerows and some dry stone walls . Extensive views from higher ground between gaps in vegetation. Intimate wooded valleys . Stone buildings and drystone walls towards uplands . Isolated properties . Narrow lanes . Re-opened railway line of Moorland and City Railway . Remnant historic parkland Ashenhurst Hall Farm. Generally small scale landscape. 2.5 At a finer detailed level the site is visually contained by the topography and slope orientation. The existing mature field boundary pattern which is poorly maintained and in places incomplete, augmented with post & wire fencing with some timber rails and occasional remnant estate metal railings, the field pattern is reinforced by the adjacent roads, lanes and some boundary scattered trees. Existing Landscape and Visual Baseline Description Site Context 2.6 The site comprises of an L shaped pocket of pastoral land North East of the town of Leek. The site lies within 1.2km (.76 miles) of the centre of Leek and is approximately 18.3km (11.4 miles) south of Buxton town centre. 2.7 The site is located adjacent to the arterial route of Buxton Road (A53) on the suburban fringe of Leek, the existing residential development on the eastern edge of Leek comprise of Buxton Road, Mount Road, Roche View Equestrian Centre, Leek Edge Farm Caravan Site and Stile House Lane. Residential properties on both Stile House Lane and Roche View are contributing to the residential ingress into the semi- rural landscape east of the site with additional scattered farm dwellings to the north and south. 2.8 Adjacent with the site boundary due south is the public right of way: Leek Town Centre Footpath No21 with Thorncliffe Road to the north.

  • New Houses in Longsdon Hello. My Name Is John
    From: Sent: 18 August 2015 22:21 To: Forward Plans Subject: New houses in Longsdon Hello. My name is John Kent of Dunelm, Denford Road, Longsdon, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire ST9 9QG. I have lived in Longsdon for the past 40 years and have seen the village deteriorate from a vibrant village with plenty of public activities with school and shops to an old people/commuter village. Village life that existed 40 years ago has gone. I believe that some new build properties are required in the village aimed at younger people to bring the village back to life. Not the three storey dolls hose type. However, I do not think the proposed sites are the right ones and before any properties are built a sewerage system needs to be installed. Plot L002 is at present a festering cess pit with outflow from the houses on Sutherland Road and the Wheel Public House contributing the that situation. When I was on the Parish council some years ago I had three visits from the SMDC health department to look at the sewerage situation in that field and all were going to do something to clear it up but none of them did anything and when I tried to contact the persons they had moved on somewhere else. The main reason for my objection from both L002 and L007 is access from the plots into the main traffic flow. On Sutherland Road there are always cars parked in front of the houses and therefore restricts the road to a single carriage way, hence producing a hazard to traffic exiting the plot.
