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. A key feature of this area is its landscape setting with prominent and outstanding views into and out of the settlements that give South Wingfield its distinctive identity. South Wingfield Place Analysis The settlements or distinct areas that make up South Wingfield are: Birches Lane/Wessington Lane Parks Avenue/Shaw wood View Inns Lane Church Lane Manor Road/Chapel Yard/Wingfield Hall High Road/Market Place Countryside settlements (Moorwood Moor/Wingfield Park/Oakerthorpe/Highfield Cottages) 2 These settlements have not only different physical characteristics, some are more like estates, and others separate communities or hamlets. About South Wingfield The Derbyshire Landscape Character Assessment (LCA) March 20141 identifies the vast majority of the parish of South Wingfield's as being within the Peak Fringe and Lower Derwent national character area. The Landscape Types are wooded slopes and valleys and riverside meadow.2 A small area in the north-east corner of the parish to the west of Millstone Lane and the west of the B6013/A615 falls within the character area of South Yorks, Notts and Derbyshire Coalfield with landscape type of coalfield estate lands. The main core of South Wingfield village sits on a North/South ridge. The built environment combines houses along the ridge with the smaller dispersed settlements of Oakerthorpe and Four Lane Ends on the eastern slopes towards the Amber Valley. Wingfield Manor 1 see http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/environment/conservation/landscapecharacter/default.asp 2 See Derbyshire County Council Landscape character 3 Settlement Separation The results of the household survey demonstrated that a key concern for the community is the threat of large developments overwhelming the current distinct settlements and the consequent loss of South Wingfield’s uniqueness. A key defining feature of South Wingfield is that over many years’ development has been in very small numbers on existing brownfield sites or on in fill sites. As such, new development has mostly integrated with the existing settlement. Planning policy in the past has sought to protect this area as planning refusals and appeals have confirmed. One aspect of the development of South Wingfield that has been noted in appeal decisions is the fact that virtually every dwelling in the parish has a viewing aspect onto open countryside with none of the urban style developments associated with other areas. This ribbon/linear development has been commented on in planning appeal decisions within the parish. Place Character This section of the document aims to understand how elements that make up the settlements combine to form the built environment that is distinctively South Wingfield. Variations within the settlement help us understand how a place was put together. Topography, watercourses and the natural elements help define the shape of a settlement and how the settlements interact is a key element in developing a distinctive character. In South Wingfield, the key defining natural element is its rural landscape, its relationship with the surrounding topography, the views in and out of the settlements and the influence exerted by the setting and landscape created by Wingfield Manor. The aim of this section is to distil the key features that define the character of the parish to guide developers in their design proposals so that new buildings maintain and enhance the special character of South Wingfield parish. To do this each of the distinctive settlements is analysed in a series of design statements. Historical Maps At the end of the document are three maps that show the historical development of the parish. 4 1. Birches Lane/Wessington Lane/Birches Avenue Settlement History Before the early 1920s Birches Lane had a small row of terraced brick cottages (Baptist cottages) adjacent to the Baptist Chapel whilst Wessington Lane had a couple of stone cottages. In the early 1920s six houses were built beyond the stone cottages on Wessington Lane and three houses on Birches Lane. Between the early 1920s and 2016 development has taken place to completely fill the eastern side of Wessington Lane, the western side of Birches Lane to its junction with Birches Avenue and both sides of Birches Lane from Birches Avenue to the main A615 road at Amber Row. To the north of Wessington Lane, immediately outside the character area, is a site allocated in AVBCs Submission Local Plan. The Local Plan has been delayed and subsequently a planning application has been submitted for up to 35 dwellings. Character of Landscape The Birches Lane/Wessington Lane/Birches Avenue settlement occupies the falling ridge towards the northern boundary of the parish. 5 Photograph 1a - Birches Lane showing development on one side and the ridge falling away to the north. Settlement Pattern Development on these three streets broadly follows the falling ground from the main spine of the village in a roughly northerly direction. Buildings front the street and gardens are contained to the rear in a ribbon/linear development. On Wessington Lane development has been restricted to the eastern side, on Birches Avenue on both sides and on Birches Lane on the higher ground the western side is developed but developed on both sides further away from the main spine of the village. Photograph 1b – semi-detached houses on Wessington Lane 6 Streets and spaces The fields adjacent to Birches Lane and Wessington Lane help maintain an open feel and allow visual connections to the wider landscape. Public spaces in this area are limited with only fields offering areas of green relief of any scale. The streets in this area are not wide but do have fairly long sight lines. Photograph 1c - Wessington Lane looking north – showing long sight lines, an open aspect and linear development on one side. Boundaries and landscaping Boundaries are generally composed of low stone walls or hedges. Front gardens contain a great deal of landscaping which is visible from the streets. The landscaping in this area is almost exclusively within private gardens and plots of land. Although lacking large prominent trees within the settlement the views from all the dwellings include large areas of mature woodland. Plots and buildings Plot sizes on Wessington Lane, Birches Lane and Birches Avenue show fairly uniform ranges due to most of them being built during the 20th century. The building setback varies from pavement frontage for the Baptist cottages to deeper setbacks for the other dwellings in this area. A relatively narrow range of materials makes this area of South Wingfield have a visually cohesive appearance. Red brick, blue tiles and roofs have their ridges parallel to the street. 7 Photograph 1d – cottages on Birches Lane The majority of houses on Birches Lane are semi-detached and terraced/town houses (58%). Bungalows make up 24% of the total and detached houses the remaining 18%. 94% of properties on Wessington Lane and Meadow View are houses and the rest bungalows. The majority of dwellings on Birches Lane, Birches Avenue and Wessington Lane (92%) are constructed using brick walls with a pitched tile roof and are of a traditional design. Photograph 1e - semi-detached houses on Birches Lane. Birches Lane/Wessington Lane/Birches Avenue Key findings and recommendations. This character area looks and feels contained within Birches Lane and Wessington Lane. The landscape has both long views to the wider landscape setting and near views into the local areas that helps reinforce the sense that it is sitting atop a ridgeline. New development should seek to maintain and enhance both far and more local views. 8 Development is generally linear and follows the main lines of movement. All streets allow glimpses of the landscape beyond and have reasonably long sight lines. Where possible, new development should add to this development pattern rather than introducing new forms of streets that erode character. The interface between plots and the street tends to be low walls with planting above adding greenery to the street. Some of the parts of this area have buildings frontages arranged directly to the back of the footpath whereas newer parts have more open frontages.

    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.

  • Rural Discontent in Derbyshire 1830·1850
    RURAL DISCONTENT IN DERBYSHIRE 1830·1850 Alan Frank Jones Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Sheffield January 2004 ii Alan Frank Jones RURAL DISCONTENT IN DERBYSlllRE 1830-1850 ABSTRACT Social protest, especially in agricultural regions, has occupie~ and caused considerable debate among, historians for many years. This thesis seeks to add to this debate, by looking at various forms of protest in Derbyshire between 1830 and 1850. This thesis examines three aspects of criminal activity: poaching, arson and animal maiming. It contends that none of these crimes can simply be categorised as acts of protest. In conjunction with an investigation of these three crimes, acts of protest such as strikes and episodes of reluctance to conform are also discussed. It argues that the motives behind various criminal activities and anti-authority behaviour were varied and complex. Arson and animal maiming were rarely co-ordinated, mostly they were individual attacks. However, on a few occasions both arson and animal maiming were directed against certain people. In the instances of poaching, there were more proven cases of gang participation than in either arson or animal maiming, with groups of men raiding game preserves. However, the great majority of raids were individual undertakings. What is more, poaching was carried out on a greater scale throughout the county than either arson or animal maiming. This thesis seeks to put these activities into the context of economic and social change in Derbyshire between 1830 and 1850. It maintains that there was a breaking down of the old social order.
