This kind of document is sometimes also referred to as a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) or Project Design. The evaluation will investigate the archaeological potential of an area of land (‘the Site’) located off Oxcroft Lane, Bolsover, Derbyshire, centred on National Grid Reference 447424,370666 (NGR SK474706). The nearest postcode is S44 6NF. The purpose of this report is to present the methodology for a trial trench evaluation. The evaluation will establish the presence/absence and nature of any archaeological remains at the trench locations and inform consideration of a planning application for the entire site. An archaeological desk based assessment (“DBA” Nash 2011) has previously been prepared for the site, which has been subject to previous investigations associated with earlier development of the Site (Wall 1992, Priest 1993, Jones 1995 and Lewis 2008). The local planning authority has requested an archaeological evaluation of the site prior to determination of the planning application for development. This is consistent with national planning policy on archaeology and planning (PPS5) as well as the provisions of the Bolsover District Council’s Historic Environment Supplementary Planning Document (2006) and the saved measures from the Local Plan (adopted 2000, saved 2007). This method statement has been prepared in consultation with the Derbyshire County Council Development Control Archaeologist (DCCDCA, Steve Baker) who advises Bolsover District Council on archaeological aspects of the planning process, and draws upon the brief prepared by Steve Baker. The Client wishes to make an application to demolish existing buildings on the site and redevelop it for a superstore. 2.0 SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The development area is an irregular parcel of land, approximately 3.25 hectares containing Bolsover District Council Offices and Police Station, extensive car parking, a memorial garden and an area of remnant parkland associated with Sherwood Lodge (which is now part of the complex of council buildings). The current site access is from Oxcroft Lane on the northern side and Town End at the western limit of the site. The Site is located within the area of Medieval Bolsover, close to its northern limit. The bank and ditch which bounded the settlement (“intrenchment”) is located to the north of the Site, and passes through the development area at the north eastern limit. This part of Bolsover was not part of the built-up historic core, which was centred on the castle and a planned settlement to the south and west of the site under consideration here. The Site occupies high ground within the town, which slopes from north down to the south. The south eastern corner of the site is located on ground which slopes steeply to the south. The current surface of the site is at around 170m AOD at its centre. The solid geology beneath the site consists of Magnesian Limestone (“Cadeby Formation- Dolostone”). Previous archaeological investigations at the Site indicate that this is overlain in SLR Optimisation Developments Ltd 2 SLR Project Ref 406.03364.00007 Archaeological Evaluation Method Statement April 2012 part by naturally deposited clay and made ground. There is evidence for modern truncation to bedrock in places (Priest 1993:4) and made ground to a maximum depth of 1.1m.

Ordnance Survey data extracts are reproduced under licence 100012293 SLR Optimisation Developments Ltd 4 SLR Project Ref 406.03364.00007 Archaeological Evaluation Method Statement April 2012 4.0 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The archaeological background for the Site is described in greater detail in the Desk Based Assessment (Nash 2011), and it is recommended that the DBA is read in conjunction with this Method Statement. A brief summary of the results of the DBA is given here. Prehistoric archaeological remains are known to be present within the development area in the form of unstratified flint artefacts. These have been recovered during earlier investigations at the site, where an assemblage of 57 flints was recorded, some of which have been dated to the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods (Riden and Fowkes 2008: 4; Nash 2011: 8). These were recovered from an area east and south of Sherwood Lodge (Wall 1992: 5-6) beneath the current council offices at the site. Romano-British archaeological remains have also been identified within the development area. These were present as a ditched enclosure, pits and gullies observed

    Section A DECISION NOTICE For Publication AUGUST 2016 THE OFFICE OF POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR DERBYSHIRE DECISION RECORD Received in OPCC Request for PCC Decision OPCC Ref: 33/ 16 Date: 27 June 2016 Title: COMPENSATION: BOLSOVER DISTRICT COUNCIL Executive Summary: Five years ago, the Police Authority approved Derbyshire Police to co-locate the Bolsover Section to Bolsover District Council Offices. The Council took on an obligation to provide similar facilities were they to relocate, which they did, to Clowne. Bolsover District Council has already paid Derbyshire Police a sum to relocate from their council offices to temporary accommodation and to then move into a more permanent solution at Oxcroft House. This coincided with the force’s strategic policing review so the Chief Constable and Commissioner decided that it would be inappropriate to commit to a further long lease of Oxcroft House as it may not meet the new needs of the force going forward. Considerable costs had already been incurred by Bolsover District Council in developing this scheme. Bolsover District Council have demonstrated that they have incurred costs to date (supported by documentary evidence); the Constabulary are still holding removal monies for which there is no justification. Decision Resolved that the Commissioner agrees to pay compensation to Bolsover District Council as set out within their claim and as detailed in the confidential report.

  • Why Is the Water Quality in the River Doe Lea So Poor?”
    “Why is the water quality in the River Doe Lea so poor?” Dissertation submitted as part requirement for the Degree of Master of Science in Urban Water Engineering and Management By: Mark Stevens Supervisor: Prof. David Lerner The University of Sheffield Department of Civil & Structural Engineering September 2011 Declaration: Mark Stevens certifies that all the material contained within this document is his own work except where it is clearly referenced to others. _____________________ ii ABSTRACT: STEVENS, M. 2011. Why is the water quality in the River Doe Lea so poor? MSc Urban Water Engineering and Management Dissertation, Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, University of Sheffield The Doe Lea River has a long history of pollution issues which once earned it the reputation of the most polluted river in Europe. Water quality has succumbed to the pressures of mining heritage, industry, agriculture, urban growth and major highways which dominate the catchment. The catchment has a poor chemical and biological classification status with the Environment Agency and ecological statues varies between poor and bad. Conditions of poor flow are often observed, which intensify water quality issues. In order to determine the reasons for the degradation of surface water quality, a project has been devised to take a snapshot of the water chemistry. Fifty water samples were collected simultaneously across the whole catchment and repeated for each season of the year. Analysis of these samples has developed understanding of pressures and influences that are contributing to water quality degradation. Via a mass balance analysis, it has been possible to locate particular areas of concern, determine sources and quantities of pollution and devise land management options to alleviate pollution stresses.

    Information Sheet A n introduction to the voluntary and community sector in Derby and Derbyshire Across Derby and Derbyshire there are over 4,000 voluntary and community sector (VCS) groups, ranging in size from large charities with over £10million turnover to small community groups who have no paid staff and operate on less than £10,000 per year. In 2012 the Listen, Value, Invest research conducted by Community Action Derby provided the following figures for the city in 2011/12: VCS turnover was £130million (1,138 groups) Volunteering decreased but was still worth £41.7million 65% of VCS groups will receive less funding in the 2012/13 financial year 87% of VCS groups expecting to receive less funding in the 2012/13 financial year 96% of VCS groups expecting the same or more people to need their help in the 2012/13 financial year. The range of services delivered by the VCS organisations range from small self help groups supporting their members to live with old age or disability to large housing providers managing hundreds of tenancies. There are also examples of VCS organisations that provide professional support, such as Citizens Advice and Relate, and those that work with statutory organisations, such as Victim Support and Neighbourhood Watch. For many years support has been given to these groups by a range of local support organisations, which tend to fall into two categories: General support - this is offered by the local councils for voluntary service (CVS) of which there are eight, generally focused on specific local authority areas Specialist support - this support is often themed around different communities of interest, such as age, ethnicity, sexuality, disability and rurality.

  • 08-10-2018 the Importation of Soils Oxcroft Colliery
    Public Agenda Item No. 4.1 DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL REGULATORY – PLANNING COMMITTEE 8 October 2018 Report of the Strategic Director – Economy, Transport and Environment 1 THE IMPORTATION OF 150,000 CUBIC METRES OF SOILS AND INERT ENGINEERING MATERIALS FOR THE REPROFILING AND RESTORATION OF THE FORMER OXCROFT COLLIERY TIP TO ACHIEVE BENEFICIAL RESTORATION, AT THE OXCROFT DISPOSAL POINT, MILL LANE, STANFREE APPLICANT: HARWORTH ESTATES INVESTMENTS LIMITED CODE NO: CW5/1117/69 5.396.17 Introductory Summary The proposal is to import approximately 250,000 tonnes of soils and inert material into the former Oxcroft Disposal Point site over a two year period to enable the beneficial restoration of the remaining tip area. In considering the proposals, I have had regard to concerns relating to landscape and visual amenity, ecology, land contamination and highways impacts and I am satisfied that the effects of the development can be managed and mitigated through an appropriate suite of conditions and a legally binding agreement. I consider that the benefits of the proposal to local communities through the restoration of the site would be likely to be substantial. The development is considered to be in accordance with the development plan and is therefore recommended for approval. (1) Purpose of Report To enable the Committee to determine the application. (2) Information and Analysis Site and Surroundings The site covers an area of approximately 12.5 hectares (ha) and lies to the west of the village of Stanfree, approximately 1.7 miles north of Bolsover and 1.2 miles south-west of Clowne. The M1 motorway lies approximately 350 metres (m) to the west.
