INTRODUCTION 1.1 This Non-Technical Summary (NTS) describes in non-technical language the likely significant environmental effects in relation to the full planning application for the erection of a Battery Manufacturing Plant together with associated development (‘the Proposed Development’) at the Former Coal Stocking Yard, Cambois (‘the Site’) which has been submitted on behalf of Britishvolt (‘the Applicant’). 1.2 The Site of the Proposed Development is located on previously developed land that was formerly used for the storage of coal for the former Blyth Power Station. 1.3 The Proposed Development is for a new battery manufacturing plant, with associated landscaping and parking. The Proposed Development comprises of an advanced manufacturing building (known as the ‘Gigaplant’) with supporting ancillary buildings and structures for the production of cutting- edge green battery cells. 1.4 Britishvolt is Britain’s foremost investor in battery technologies. It is dedicated to supporting the future of electrified transportation and sustainable energy storage, producing world-leading lithium- ion battery technologies. 1.5 An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been undertaken by Ridge and Partners LLP and a team of competent experts, to assess the environmental effects of the Proposed Development. The EIA is reported within an Environmental Statement (ES) which has been prepared in line with the EIA Regulations1. The purpose of the ES is to identify the likely significant effects that the Proposed Development may have on the environment and setting out how they can be avoided or reduced. This NTS sets out the key issues and findings of the ES in an accessible format for the wider audience. 1.6 The ES comprises: • Volume 1: Main Text • Volume 2: Figures • Volume 3: Technical Appendices 1.7 The ES and this NTS accompany a suite of documents that together support the full planning application submitted to the Local Planning Authority, Northumberland County Council (NCC). 1 Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017 (as amended) PHX-RDG-XX-XX-RP-T-00004 Page 3 of 37 2. APPROACH TO EIA 2.1 An EIA identifies the likely significant environmental effects of a proposed development on the environment, and where relevant, outlines mitigation measures that would either avoid, minimise or offset any negative (adverse) effects. 2.2 An EIA scoping exercise was undertaken to establish the ‘scope’ (content) of the EIA and identify the issues which required detailed consideration in the ES. Given the issues regarding confidentiality at the time, an Informal Scoping Note was submitted to NCC in October 2020. An Informal Scoping Response was received from the LPA in January 2021. The Applicant has taken on board the advice received from the LPA and statutory consultees during pre-application discussions and within the Informal Scoping Response; these have been used to inform the following topics which are likely to provide potential significant environmental impacts, and have been included as part of the ES: • Ecology and Nature Conservation • Landscape and Visual Impact • Transport and Access • Noise • Air Quality • Socio-Economics • Climate Change • Major Accidents and Disasters 2.3 The scoping exercise concluded that the Proposed Development is not likely to give rise to significant environmental effects in respect of Archaeology and Cultural Heritage; Lighting; Hydrology and Flood Risk; Ground Conditions; and Coal Mining and Minerals. These topics were therefore not considered further in the ES. 2.4 For the topics included, the ES includes a description of the ‘baseline condition’ which is the existing environmental characteristics for each individual topic. Where relevant, the ‘future baseline’ (how the baseline environment may change in the absence of the Proposed Development) is also set out. 2.5 Each topic identifies sensitive receptors, which includes existing residents and businesses, construction workers, nature conservation sites, habitats and species, pedestrians, cyclists and road users, amongst others. 2.6 Each topic assessment then measures whether environmental effects on those receptors are significant using standards or codes of practice and expert judgement. PHX-RDG-XX-XX-RP-T-00004 Page 4 of 37 2.7 The ES considers potential effects during both the construction and operational phase of the development. 2.8 The overall level of the effect (i.e. whether it is significant or not) is described in each of the technical chapters, determining whether those effects are direct, indirect, secondary, cumulative, transboundary, short-term, medium-term or long-term, permanent or temporary, positive or negative. The overall significance is then assessed by determining: • Whether the actual change taking place (magnitude) is major, moderate, low or negligible; and • Whether the sensitivity or value of the receptor is high, moderate, low or negligible. 2.9 The overall effect of significance is based on the interaction between magnitude and sensitivity, whereby the effects can be beneficial (positive), adverse (negative) or negligible (neutral). Overall, the effects, are defined as follows: • Major (adverse or beneficial) – where the development would cause significant deterioration (or improvement) of the existing environment; • Moderate (adverse or beneficial) – where the development would cause noticeable deterioration (or improvement) to the existing environment; • Minor (adverse or beneficial) – where the development would cause perceptible deterioration (or improvement) to the existing environment; • Negligible – no discernible improvement or deterioration to the existing environment. 2.10 Unless specified within the Technical Chapter, if the effect falls into the category of either ‘moderate’ or ‘major’, it is considered significant in EIA terms. 2.11 If adverse effects are identified, then mitigation measures have been put in place where practicable to reduce that impact. The extent of the mitigation measures and how these will be effective is discussed within each of the technical chapters. ‘Residual effects’ are those that remain after mitigation measures have been implemented. 2.12 The EIA Regulations also require assessment of any potentially significant effects of the development that may arise cumulatively (when combined with) other major development with planning permission or under construction in the local area. The sites to be considered were agreed with NCC and are identified on the below plan. PHX-RDG-XX-XX-RP-T-00004 Page 5 of 37 Figure 1: Cumulative Sites 2.13 The ES also considers the effects that have arisen from individual effects of the Proposed Development interacting (e.g. traffic, noise and air quality). These interactions are considered in Chapter 15 of this NTS. PHX-RDG-XX-XX-RP-T-00004 Page 6 of 37 3. SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA Site Location and Description 3.1 The Site of the Proposed Development is 92.2 ha of previously developed land that was formerly used for the storage of coal for the former Blyth Power Station. 3.2 The Site comprises generally of large areas of tarmac and other features associated with the handling of the coal. The site consists of flat, low-lying land with exception to two Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA) mounds located in the north east of the site which rise up to 12m AOD and 24m AOD. The land is generally open apart from a number of scattered trees and scrub across the low-lying ground. Trees on the western slopes of the PFA mounds were planted approximately 20 years ago and are well established. Tree belts are found in the south-west of the site enclosing an area of 1930’s housing off Harbour View. 3.3 Other localised features include a railway line to the north of the site which continues south along the eastern boundary, albeit this section is now disused. A bridge over the railway to the east of the site provides a connection to the village of Cambois. Two water courses are found within the site, Maw Burn and Cow Gut, which flow in a west to east direction, and are mainly culverted. A line of electricity transmission pylons crosses the Site generally along its western boundary in a north-south direction. 3.4 There are several access points to the Site, 1 to the north-west, and 3 along the southern boundary. The main access is in the south east corner of the Site, with a further access close to the dwellings on Wilson Avenue, and an alternative off the mini roundabout on Brock Lane (although this is partly blocked).In terms of Public Rights of Way (PRoW), Wansbeck Public Footpath No 59 is located to the south-east of the Site, adjacent to the site boundary. It follows the Site boundary north-south, with a small element within the site boundary before it crosses the railway line to the east.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

  • Accessions Report July-Dec 2014
    Northumberland Archives Accessions July – Dec. 2014 Each year we receive several hundred new accessions (deposits of records or artefacts). These can range in size from a single item, for example, a photograph, through to several hundred boxes of records. As we accept records into our custody we create an accession record. The information that we record includes a brief description of the item, covering dates, details of the provenance of the item and the status of the deposit, in other words, whether it is a purchase, deposit (long term loan) or a gift. The vast majority of records are deposited with us and remain the property of the depositor and their heirs. We regularly produce a list of the accessions received over a six month period. This is generated from our electronic collections management system and provides brief details of the deposit. If you would like further information about the deposit you should consult our electronic catalogue or speak with a member of staff who will be pleased to advise. The purpose of the list is to allow users to become more aware of new deposits of material. Not all of the items that are referred to on the list will be available for public consultation. Some may be subject to a closure period because of confidential content. Others may not yet be catalogued and therefore cannot be produced.
