This society, The Bullbridge and Sawmills Area Civic Society (BASA) and The Friends of Cromford Canal made representation to Planning and met with representatives of the Developers and were assured that the line of the canal would be preserved. BASA was pleased to hear this and proceeded to address other concerns of local residents such as the type of houses to be built, as there were no homes for local elderly or disabled residents or for first time buyers. Since 2009 the developers have gone into liquidation, into receivership and passed between banks, the site now being up for sale. Money ringfenced for site clearance and decontamination has been utilised to clear and reprofile the site, revealing a stunning south facing space surrounded by trees, hills and bordered by a river. In the final days of the clearance we received information that once the site was purchased and redeveloped for housing it would be virtually impossible to restore the canal to water through the site. It seems that the access would be insufficient with no room for plant, drainage systems or for any works. It is also likely that there would be resistance from home owners, who would understandably resist such upheaval. The realisation that actual reinstatement of the Cromford Canal might be doomed despite the line being preserved inspired the BASA committee to set up a group that would campaign for the reinstatement of the canal itself through the site. Representatives of The Friends of Cromford Canal, an architect, a councillor, planning expert and an engineer joined the group and CRIB was formed. The object of the group was to campaign for the canal to be restored to water AT THE SAME TIME as the building of the houses . This means that CRIB would be campaigning for the canal to be restored to water by the developers. This seems a tall order (and indeed it is!) but there really is no choice but to try or lose another significant part of the canal forever. In effect the loss of the canal through Bullbridge would leave the FCC with two canals and the Amber Valley would lose an important structure which has the potential to generate opportunities for tourism and jobs in an area which has lost much of its industry. CRIB is aware that developers need to make money (and tend to be risk averse) so clearly some way to fund the reinstatement of the canal, which our architect and engineer estimate would be in excess of one million pounds, would have to be found. The uplift in the value of canal side properties would increase the profit margin and our architect believes that higher density, good quality housing that reflects the needs of the area, while making use of a unique site, could also generate the funds required. CRIB accepts that this sort of development will require a developer with a different mindset and they will be actively seeking, and discussing with, potential developers. CRIB believes that the developer might also be concerned that a radical change from the usual developments might meet with opposition from local residents. While CRIB’s major concern is that 3 the Cromford Canal is at risk from the development, it realised that the opportunity to address concerns raised by the Bullbridge and Sawmills Area Civic Society with regards to the type of houses proposed by developers, could also be addressed at the same time. CRIB decided to ask those residents that would be most affected by the Stevenson Site development for their views. This would help CRIB to ascertain how people felt about CRIB’s campaign and also provide local knowledge and ideas to broaden the scope of our information CRIB decided to Consult formally with residents and record their views to offer to planners in the first instance and the developer once the site was sold. 4 The Consultation CRIB decided to post questionnaires to each household in the area. These questionnaires would be attached to a letter of introduction and explanation. An Open Consultation evening at Sawmills Village hall was planned and advertised and a webpage was set up which enabled people to fill in the questionnaire electronically (Survey Monkey) Attached to each questionnaire was the offer of help or a different format to enable those with specific needs to be included. CRIB decided that the returns should be anonymous, but with the facility to identify that someone was from the area. Each responder was asked to give their postcode and each return given a number in the order of receipt, which also helped to get some sort of profile of each responder. CRIBs understanding was that for a survey to be considered viable a 20% return was needed. As we posted to 350 houses our target was a return of 70 questionnaires. 79 were received. The letters with questionnaires were posted two to three weeks before the Consultation Evening At the consultation evening on the 1 st December 2016 maps, plans and related documents were provided. And CRIB ensured ensured enough people were available to discuss the ideas and support with form filling. The turnout was not as high as was hoped, but did give CRIB members the opportunity to talk to those that did. Simultaneously we were receiving the postal and electronic responses. Appended next is a copy of the information letter and the questionnaire 5 Newsletter This was sent to all residents of the area with a copy of the Questionnaire Canal Restoration In BullbridBullbridgege (CRIB) CRIB is a group which has been set up to attempt to convince any future developer of the Stevensons site of the benefits of restoring the length of the Cromford canal across the site from the road bridge to the Hagg tunnel entrance, during the development of the site.

  • SECTION of CROMFORD and HIGH PEAK CANAL RAILWAY Proposed
    PLANNING & DEVEL. SERVICES H.E.R. STATEMENT : SECTION OF CROMFORD and HIGH PEAK CANAL RAILWAY Proposed Residential Development on land at Gisborne Yard, Old Road Whaley Bridge, High Peak [Outline Planning Application with all matters reserved] Peter D. Dalton BA (Dunelm) MRTPI, BSc Architectural Technology, MSc Technical Architecture 18th February 2013 The Application and the Historic Route of the Canal Railway A section of the route of the former Whaley Bridge canal basin to Cromford canal railway (referred to as the Cromford and High Peak railway) runs north south through the application site close to the eastern boundary. The features which have been identified as important to protect are :‐ a) the (buried) track bed which forms the access road along Caldene Terrace and continues through the Yard close to the eastern boundary b) the retaining wall along the eastern boundary and c) the buried tunnel/bridge beneath the Buxton to Manchester railway line (see Appendix 1 : Extract from the Monument Report compiled and supplied by Derbyshire County Council, Conservation Officer). The speculative scheme illustrated in the design and access statement demonstrates that a scheme for the residential development of the land at Gisbourne Yard could be achieved without compromising the route of the original canal railway or any of the features in the Monument Report (see Appendix 1). Recommendations in regard to the treatment of these features are made in the Statement. The Policy Famework The Saved Local Plan Policy relevant to the application is:‐ Policy 25 BC10 - ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND OTHER HERITAGE FEATURES Planning Permission will not be granted for development which is likely to result in harm to a Scheduled Ancient Monument or other nationally important site, its setting or amenity value.

    PUBLIC ITEM NO. 8 DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL REGULATORY LICENSING AND APPEALS COMMITTEE 29 February 2016 Report of the Director of Legal Services Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 Claim to add a Footpath between Johnson Drive and Restricted Byway No. 12 - Parishes of ‘Heanor and Loscoe’ and ‘Aldercar and Langley Mill’. 1. Purpose of the Report The purpose of this report is to enable Members to determine an application to amend the Definitive Map and Statement by adding a Public Footpath between Johnson Drive - Parish of Heanor and Loscoe and Restricted Byway No. 12 – Parish of Aldercar and Langley Mill. 2. Information and Analysis 2.1 Judith Wooley (“the Applicant”) submitted an application to Derbyshire County Council (“the Council”) dated 25 May 2012, to add a public footpath to the Definitive Map and Statement, in the Parishes of ‘Heanor and Loscoe’ and ‘Aldercar and Langley Mill’. The application is accompanied by 20 user evidence forms (UEFs) (one form was submitted by a married couple but was only signed by the husband and the evidence shall be treated as that of one individual). 2.2 A plan showing the claimed route is attached (Appendix 1). 2.3 The claimed route is approximately 470 metres long. User Evidence 2.4 One of the users refers to an incident circa 2005 when she was ‘kicked to the ground’ while using the route. She also recalls the route being diverted by some landowners who diverted water from the brook onto the footpath circa 2007. The Applicant recalls it being diverted/blocked due to ‘house building and opencast’, but does not give dates or details: it may be she is referring to the building of Johnson Drive circa 1980 as the claimed route itself is unaffected by any building in the vicinity.
