Site Location and Setting UK Coal Operations Limited Proposed extension of time for colliery spoil tipping Environmental Statement operations at Harworth Colliery No. 2 Spoil Heap 3 Site Location and Setting 3.1 Site Location 3.1.1 Harworth Colliery Spoil Tip is located to the north-west of the District of Bassetlaw, approximately 1.2km to the south of the village of Harworth, Nottinghamshire. See the Site Location Plan (drawing no. HPL/UKC/HTIP/001). 3.1.2 The small towns of Harworth and Bircotes to the north of the site are the closest residential towns to the site, however there are a number of residential properties of smaller densities within close proximity. Styrrup village lies approximately 600 metres to the north-west and a small group of properties to the south-east off Blyth Road are approximately 130 metres from the site. 3.1.3 Blyth lies approximately 2 kilometres to the south of the site, adjoining a designated Conservation Area at its northern boundary. 3.1.4 Access to the site is via the entrance off Blyth Road, which is approximately 1.2 kilometres to the north of the Blyth junction of the A1. Access to the site can also be made from the north off Serlby Road. Within the site, access to the tipping area will follow the existing internal haul roads. 3.2 Site Setting 3.2.1 The Harworth Tip site covers an area of approximately 109 hectares and comprises an area of approximately 46 hectares of mostly disturbed land, primarily occupied by former lagoon L10 and L11, where it is proposed to continue tipping. The site also includes approximately 62 hectares that have been restored, with established mixed woodland areas in the north eastern area. Mixed plantations are located along the eastern boundary adjacent to Blyth Road, the north western perimeter, the western boundary adjacent to the A1(M), and along the southern boundary. The extent of the application site can be seen on the Planning Application Plan (drawing no. HPL/UKC/HTIP/002). 3.2.2 The immediate surroundings of the site include mainly farmland and woodland such as Nook Flatt Wood approximately 690 metres to the east and Toad Holes Wood approximately 900 metres to the south. Toads Holes Woods is designated within the Bassetlaw District Council Core Strategy as a Local Wildlife Site. 3.2.3 The Laurels wood is approximately 910 metres to the east of the site, and beyond this lies Serlby and Serlby Hall. Immediately to the south of The Laurels woodland is a Page 5 UK Coal Operations Limited Proposed extension of time for colliery spoil tipping Environmental Statement operations at Harworth Colliery No. 2 Spoil Heap lake which is approximately 670 metres in length. The lake is designated as a Local Wildlife Site, as well as an area around it including Serlby Park Golf Course and Brecks Wood. The River Ryton flows approximately 750 metres to the east of the site. 3.2.4 Two groups of Ancient Woodland are located to the south-east of the site adjoining Blyth Wood, the closest of which being approximately 800 metres from the site. Part of Blyth Wood is also designated within the Bassetlaw District Council Core Strategy as a Local Wildlife Site. 3.2.5 Harworth Colliery is located to the north-east of the tip site and connected by conveyor, which is used to transport the spoil material. The conveyor is approximately 1km in length from the colliery to the spoil tip. 3.2.6 The area between the Tip site and Harworth comprises large scale industrial and business uses including Brunel Park Industrial Estate, Bulbs Industrial Estate and Harworth Enterprise Park. UK Coal PLC offices are located approximately 300 metres to the north-east of the site within the Harworth Park Industrial Estate. 3.2.7 There are no Public Rights of Way that will be affected by the proposals.

INTRODUCTION Aim of the Study The overall purpose of this study is to provide a long-term vision for green infrastructure within Bassetlaw to ensure that the strategic growth of the district is fully integrated with and informed by its green infrastructure and to ensure that no net loss of green infrastructure value or provision occurs. The vision will also address the improvement of green infrastructure within the rural areas of the district and the maintenance and improvement of connectivity between the district’s urban and rural areas. Strategic Growth Map 1 – Study Area: Bassetlaw Bassetlaw (Map 1) has a population of approximately 111,000. Under the East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Bassetlaw District Council are required to deliver 1 7000 new homes between 2006 and 2026. It is hoped that this will enhance the prosperity of the area and stimulate regeneration of an economy that has undergone massive restructuring over the last 20 years. Green infrastructure is a key aspect in delivering this level of growth and requires suitable evidence to ensure consideration is given to the overall impacts of development, taking account of environment in which it is set.
