Staffordshire and Stoke-On-Trent Minerals Local Plan 1994 Staffordshire and Stoke –on-Trent Minerals Local Plan 1994 – 2006 (Adopted December 1999) Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Minerals Local Plan 1994 - 2006 December 1999 PREFACE This Plan sets out detailed policies and proposals for mineral working in Staffordshire (outside the Peak District National Park) and Stoke on Trent for the period up to 1 January 2006. It aims to provide a framework for the future supply of minerals whilst ensuring that measures are taken to protect the environment. The Plan has been prepared in partnership with Stoke on Trent City Council because the City Council has become the Mineral Planning Authority for the City of Stoke on Trent as a consequence of Local Government Reorganisation. The Plan indicates where provision is made for mineral working and protection, the policies against which proposals for mineral development will be assessed and is accompanied by a Code of Practice for site design, operation, restoration and aftercare. The Plan is comprehensive and includes all minerals of known or potential commercial interest including sand, gravel and crushed rock. The planning of these aggregate minerals has recently been dealt with in the preparation of the Staffordshire Aggregates Local Plan. The Aggregates Local Plan was adopted in March 1996 and became operative in May 1996. The existing Aggregates Local Plan policies or proposals are being saved or have been subsumed within this Mineral Local Plan. No new sand, gravel, crushed rock or borrow pit allocations are promoted in this Plan. If you require further information please telephone either Staffordshire County Council (01785) 277273 and ask for Maggie Taylor or Stoke on Trent City Council (01782) 232485 and ask for Brian Davies. -

The Plan contains a suite of general policies against which all mineral planning applications will be determined. These policies cover matters such as need, environmental protection, transportation and green belt. Specific policies and proposals for minerals which have been or are currently extracted within the Plan area are set out in individual chapters. Where national guidance advises that it is appropriate, the demand for the mineral, reflected in production rates, is assessed against the supply of the mineral. Where the supply is insufficient to maintain a landbank, allocations for areas of future working have been proposed. Listed below are the minerals covered in the Minerals Local Plan setting out where a landbank policy is appropriate, the area and duration of the landbank and, where relevant, proposals for future working.

  • Industrial Heritage, Tourism and Old Industrial Buildings: Charting the Difficult Path from Redundancy to Heritage Attraction
    RESEARCH Cutting Edge 1997 Industrial heritage, tourism and old industrial buildings: charting the difficult path from redundancy to heritage attraction Rick Ball, Staffordshire University ISBN 0-85406-864-3 INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE, TOURISM AND OLD INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS: CHARTING THE DIFFICULT PATH FROM REDUNDANCY TO HERITAGE ATTRACTION Dr. Rick Ball Division of Geography Staffordshire University Leek Road Stoke-on-Trent ST4 2DF UK Abstract This exploratory paper considers the processes, problems and constraints involved in the transition of old industrial buildings, often those prone to vacancy, into heritage and tourism- linked uses. It discusses the heritage-property nexus with regard to industrial buildings, and builds an empirical picture of such relationships in a specific local property arena. The discussion is partly based on research projects completed in a number of localities within the British West Midlands. In particular, it draws on work on the evaluation of European Commission Community Initiatives in the West Midlands that have targetted tourism development, as well as on EPSRC funded research focused on vacant industrial buildings in Stoke-on-Trent. As such, in scene-setting style, a structure is developed for the evaluation of heritage-property links with the emphasis on the small number of specific local projects that have at least partly sought to bring buildings back into use with some, perhaps extensive, degree of heritage activity in mind. 1. Heritage and the property domain - some introductory comments The background to this paper is the apparent reassertion of industrial heritage as a flavour of tourism in the late 1990s (Goodall, 1996), a process pursued with vigour in the quest for the renaissance of the urban industrial economy (see Ball and Stobart, 1996).

North Staffordshire Conurbation: Assessment of historical significance 3 FOREWORD The North Staffordshire conurbation is unique. Its historical development - based on mining, ceramics and other manufacturing industries - is unparalleled in any major urban area in the UK. However, these origins were both a boon and a bane for the area. On the one hand they gave North Staffordshire an economic purpose and vitality, which began in the very vanguard of the industrial revolution and created a wealth of world- renowned products whose enduring prestige continues to attract many thousands of visitors each year.

It classifies the material and allots a permanent reference number to each item. The Sneyd Papers were at Keele Hall after the Second World War, when they were purchased by Mr Raymond Richards, of Gawswcrth, from Cci« Balph Sneyd (1863-1949), the family’ s last direct descendant. After adding the rescued papers to his collection Mr Richards placed the bulk of it in the John Rylands Library, on deposit. The University of Keele (then the University College of North Staffordshire) purchased most of the collection in 1957 and the Sneyd Papers therefore returned to Keele, where they are now housed in the University Library. From the time of the Civil War the accumulation lias had its ups and downs and damage in terms of actual losses (particularly in the map department) accounts for a noticeable imbalance. Over- the years fa irly extensive disturbance has resulted in fragmentation of the archive and the number of items listed in isolation is consequently high. It is possible that some items now incorporated with the family papers were collected by the Rev.

Introduction 1.1 The Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent Core Spatial Strategy (the Core Spatial Strategy) has been prepared jointly by the two local planning authorities of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council and the City of Stoke-on-Trent Council. This reflects the strong and well founded reputation that both authorities have for partnership working. Over many years this has worked to secure significant regeneration funding for the sub region, particularly in Stoke-on-Trent, which has seen significant intervention under a wide variety of European, national and regional initiatives. Recently the North Staffordshire Regeneration Partnership has been formed in the desire of all partners in the public, private and voluntary sector to work together towards realising a single vision for the North Staffordshire sub region. The Core Spatial Strategy is a key step towards realising this vision. 1.2 This Core Spatial Strategy also represents the first major stage in the Borough’s and the City’s work to replace their Local Plans with a new Local Development Framework (LDF). The requirement to produce a Local Development Framework was established by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 which came into force in September 2004.
