Committee Report Item No: 1 Application No: DER/03/12/00334 Type: Full 1. Address: Land in front of 3 – 5 Primula Way, Littleover 2. Proposal: Formation of access road to serve proposed residential development on land off Stenson Road (submitted as an Outline Planning Application to South Derbyshire District Council under reference 09/2007/0655/M) 3. Description: Throughout the life of the application amendments have been sought in order to address concerns of colleagues in Highways Development Control in respect of the dimensions of the proposed access, its design and integration with the existing highway of Primula Way. This report relates to drawing no. 2681-01 Revision C entitled 2.5 metre proposed access road with 2.0 metre footpaths from Primula Way, only. The application is accompanied by a Design and Access Statement, which has been amended, site location plan, indicative master plan for the wider development and a Flood Risk Assessment. The full planning application seeks permission for the formation of a vehicular access with footways to serve up to 145 dwelling houses, which are located within South Derbyshire. The application site is rectangular in form and located at the termination of Primula Way. The application site is bound by no’s 1, 3 and 5 Primula Way to the south, the public highway to the east, public open space to the north and fields to the west, which are delineated as blue land and have an resolution to grant planning permission for residential development, since July 2012. Further confirmation has been sought to ensure there is no encroachment on the public open space and/or the curtilage of those adjacent properties no’s 1 – 5 Primula Way. I am therefore satisfied that the application red edge does not seek to incorporate land outside of the applicants’ control. 4. Relevant Planning History: No relevant planning history with Derby City Council. South Derbyshire District Council - 09/2007/0655/M Outline application (all matters reserved except for means of access) for the erection of 145 dwellings on Land off Stenson Road, Stenson, Derby The application was report to South Derbyshire District Council Planning Control Committee on 17 July 2012 with a resolution to grant planning permission subject to the applicant entering into a Section 106 Agreement. The requirement for the access to be considered by Derby City Council Planning Control Committee was reported for information and background information. Amongst others a contribution towards transport improvements along the Stenson Road corridor were included in order to mitigate the development at a cost of £1481 per dwelling and £582 per apartment. 5. Implications of Proposal: 5.1. Economic: There are no economic issues arising as a result of the proposal. 1 Committee Report Item No: 1 Application No: DER/03/12/00334 Type: Full 5.2. Design and Community Safety: Amendments have been made to the access layout in order to ensure a suitable width and connection to the existing public highway of Primula Way. There are no community safety issues arising as a result of the proposal. 5.3. Highways – Development Control: The following comments are made in reference to Drawing No 2681-01 Rev C unless otherwise specified. Outline Application (all matters reserved except for means of access) for the erection of 145 dwellings at land off Stenson Road, Derby. The application area is located to the west of Stenson Road as an extension to Primula Way in the Derby City Council Planning area; however the majority of the proposed residential development lies within the South Derbyshire District Council Planning area. The proposal borders onto existing residential development to the north and east. There is an existing railway line to the south east which runs under Stenson Road. At this point on the City boundary Stenson Road has a single lane running width over the railway which is controlled by traffic signals on shuttle working. Stenson Road to the south of the site is the main north south route linking the existing residential development at Stenson Fields to the A5111 ring road to the north and Derby City Centre. The access is proposed to be a single point of access to serve, 145 residential units with the potential of serving up to 600 units in total. As a result of the Outline application in South Derbyshire the highway impacts of the proposed 145 home development on land off Primula Way have been assessed using the Derby Area Transport Model (DATM) 2016 traffic flows, which include the impact of committed developments such as the 500 home Stenson Fields proposal. Using DATM flows has given a more realistic prediction of traffic flow as it takes into consideration drivers rerouting to avoid congestion on Stenson Road. Mitigating measures have been identified as a result of the modelling and these are identified in the South Derbyshire Application No. 09/2007/0655/M The access arrangement as shown is suitable to serve the currently proposed 145 dwellings, however, any increase in number will require a revised access layout. Highways – Land Drainage: Our comments relate solely to the plans to construct an access road for the proposed residential development which is located in South Derbyshire In our previous response we stated that: “The Application Form indicates the use of a soakaway for the disposal surface water runoff which would ensure that there is no flood risk increase to others. Unfortunately, the application does not show where it may be placed and it appears to me that there is no place within the site that a soakaway would be allowed by the adopting authority. Therefore it is likely that the construction of this highway would lead to an increase in flood risk to others and therefore I am given no choice but to object to the application.” 2 Committee Report Item No: 1 Application No: DER/03/12/00334 Type: Full Although a Flood Risk Assessment has been produced, there is no further information regarding the proposed soakaway, or alternative methods for drainage, and so our objection still stands.

Following a public enquiry in 2004, the Secretary of State confirmed the Compulsory Purchase Order. English Heritage took possession of the site in September, and urgent works and holding repairs were completed in October 2004. The first phase of repairs is complete and Apethorpe Hall is now for sale. 16 HERITAGE AT RISK EAST MIDLANDS EM 17 HERITAGE AT RISK 2008 Since the 1999 baseline register, the total number of Grade I and II* buildings and structural monuments at risk on the East Midlands register has fallen from 161 to 147. In the past year, however, there has been a significant net increase in the number of entries on the regional register. Ten buildings at risk have been added, three of which are in the highest priority category for action; at immediate risk of loss and have no solution agreed.With two exceptions, no solution is yet in place for any of the new entries. Five buildings on last year’s regional register have also been upgraded in their level of risk.This year, for the first time, the East Midlands register includes one registered battlefield at risk. Only three buildings at risk have been removed from the register, although ten have seen an improvement in condition.The first phase of repairs to the Grade I listed Apethorpe Hall, Northamptonshire is now complete and the estate has been offered for sale. Some of the Region’s entries are among the most intractable cases on the register.

  • The Diary of William Darwin Fox: 1824 to 1826: Part 2
    Epilogue This has been the story of two “Victorian” gentlemen. Gentlemen that seem, in many ways, to characterise the age and its ambiguities. Both aspired to be country clergymen, following up at the same time, their bent to be naturalists. And if it was not for the offer of passage on the second voyage on the Beagle, Darwin might have ended up there. Yet the offer of the Beagle voyage did materialise and changed Darwin for the rest of his life. He went away on the voyage as a young man, accept- ing, like Fox, the norms of his upbringing and the societal pressures to fit into one of the avenues of professional life available in early nineteenth century England. The long and exacting voyage somehow acted as a trigger, which set Darwin on another course. Yet this reasoning is not sufficient to explain the man. Many other men were recruited into similar trips by the British Navy, at this time, to go out and map the world, both in geographical and natural history ways: T H Huxley and J D Hooker, amongst them. And of these, only Darwin saw the path ahead and stuck to it. And, of course, A R Wallace, who came from a very different stratum of society with a different background of experience, also came to very similar conclusions about organic evolution. William Darwin Fox on the other hand, Darwin’s second cousin and from very similar bloodstock, saw his role in life as the country parson and stuck to that through thick and thin.

This report has been produced in accordance with Section 57 of the Regulations. It aims to set out the way in which the Pension Fund is managed both in relation to the administration of benefits and to the investment of the Fund. In the 2015 Summer Budget, following a long review into the future structure of LGPS, the Government announced its intention of inviting 89 administering authorities within LGPS to formulate plans for pooling investment assets, with the aim of reducing costs significantly whilst maintaining investment performance. Derbyshire Pension Fund subsequently announced its participation in LGPS Central, a Midlands based collaboration of eight local government pension funds. As a multi-asset manager, utilising both internal and external investment expertise, it is intended that LGPS Central will manage approximately £35bn of assets on behalf of member funds from 2018 onwards, with a strong focus on delivering cost savings within a robust governance structure.

  • L Chester Walk Leaflet.Indd
    HOW TO FIND US DISCOVER DERBY HERITAGE WALK ����� ��� Welcome to Derby and the Southern Gateway to ��� the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. Here ���������� ��� Derby had its beginnings and remains of its Roman, �� ��������� DERBY Saxon and industrial past can still be seen. ��������� �� From Darley Abbey, the River Derwent flows between �� �� two Conservation Areas, Strutt’s Park and Little Chester, before passing Derby’s Museum of Industry and History. ���������� This occupies the site of a silk spinning mill built by John and ����� Thomas Lombe in the early eighteenth century. It was the world’s first factory. ��������� �� Derby developed as a silk and cotton spinning centre. �� The Strutt family owned mills here as well as at Milford ���������� and Belper. William Strutt lived at St Helen’s House and the houses of Strutt’s Park are built over its gardens. There were also lace and elastic web weaving mills. One of these – Bath Street Mill – stands within the World Heritage Site. Derby also won world renown for engineering skills. Along this stretch of the river, the ‘Fox Brothers’ made machine tools, ‘Haslam’ built refrigeration plants for use This leaflet has been sponsored by: in ships and cold stores and ‘Handyside’ manufactured castings, bridges, towers, piers etc, which were transported across the world. Derby Crown China’s first factory was also close by. The importance of Derby and its historic industrial neighbours at Cromford, Belper, Milford and Darley Abbey was reflected by the World Heritage Site status given to the Derwent Valley Mills in 2001. Derby is also within the National Heritage Corridor. This leaflet offers a short circular walk, with optional extensions, visiting the most significant historic sites, including the site of the Roman Fort and Well at Chester Green.
