Design and Access Statement Proposed Extension to Pennine Sailing Club Proposed Extension to Pennine Sailing Club Design and Access Statement Design and Access Statement Proposed Extension to Pennine Sailing Club proposed extension to pennine sailing club Design and Access Statement Introduction Introduction This statement provides additional information in support of the planning application for the proposed extension to the club facilities at Pennine Sailing Club, Dunford Bridge, and Barnsley. The overall purpose of the scheme is to improve the club facilities through a modest extension to the existing building to respond to increased use of the sailing club. Planning Policy The following planning policies and guidance notes have been considered in the preparation of this application. Conservation and Development Practice Note Protected Species and Developments in the Peak District National Park. A completed Peak District National Park Protected Species Form accompanies this planning application. After studying the advice and Pennine criteria it is considered that an Ecology Survey is not required. Sailing Club Peak District National Park Adopted Structure Plan - General Strategic Policy GS1. the proposed scheme is not incompatible with this policy as the site is designated as suitable for Recreational use (Zone 2) and the proposal are modest. Peak District National Park Adopted Structure Plan – Conservation Policy 2 C2. Although the scheme lies outside the confines of a town and village, the proposal is modest and is necessary for the sustained development of a recreational facility and is therefore compatable with policy C2. Peak District National Park Adopted Structure Plan - Recreation and Tourism Policy RT1 Although the site is situated in an area designated as ‘Natural Zone’ the sailing club site and Winscar Reservoir are designates as ‘Recreational Zone 2’ and therefore has to respond Policy LR1. Zone 2 considers ‘.... modest scale recreation and tourism developments may be appropriate’ The proposed scheme is modest in scale in that it is a small extension to an existing quiet recreational facility and its character location and setting will have a minimal but acceptable impact on the character of the area and the adjoining ‘Natural Zone’ from which it is visible screened. Location Plan 2 proposed extension to pennine sailing club Design and Access Statement Use The Existing Situation Pennine Sailing Club is situated on the south western shore of Winscar Reservoir, Dunford Bridge, Barnsley. The club has used this Proposed site reservoir as a sailing facility since 1990 with the permanent sailing facility being opened by HRH Princess Royal in October 1993 (see planning approval NP/B1090/4) This consisted of a club house building containing changing rooms and a small amenity area, an area to store dinghies, landscaping and site roads and associated structures. The facility is used solely for dinghy sailing and windsurfing, with motorized craft limited to rescue boats. The activity is essentially quiet. In addition Winscar Reservoir is well used by recreational walkers, and cyclists. View of Winscar Reservoir from Dunford Bridge Since 1990 the sailing club has continued to provide a recreational facility to the north Sheffield, Barnsley, Huddersfield region and has gained a regional and national reputation as an excellent sailing facility. The club has gained status, as a Volvo RYA Champion Club (http://www.rya.org.uk/AboutRYA/programmesinitiatives/ championclubs/), a RYA (Royal Yachting Association) training facility, a sailing centre for both the University of Sheffield and Hallam University, and has hosted both regional and national sailing events. The sailing facility is used throughout the year both at weekends and during the summer period, during the week.

Despite the very adverse economic climate of the past few years, club membership has not only been maintained but has shown a small increase, whereas most other clubs and societies have shown a significant decline in numbers. Our club's good fortunes are in no small way due to the attitudes of its members where true warmth and friendship are to be found. Help is always at hand, be it for the novice or the expert and I believe this is what makes Huddersfield Birdwatchers' rather special. We have enjoyed a season of excellent indoor lectures and I once more pay tribute to the late John Reynolds for having left such a legacy for us to enjoy. It was therefore rather fitting that a memorial lecture was held in his honour and to have it presented by his great friend and companion Gordon Langsbury.

  • Dark Peak Boundary Walk
    DARK PEAK BOUNDARY WALK The title 'Boundary Walk' refers to the nature of the walk, a circuit of 80 miles around the fringes of three great moorland masses of Kinder Scout, Bleaklow and Black Hill that comprise the Dark Peak. The route is mainly high level but linking these sections a variety of terrain including bridleway tracks, field paths, sheltered wooded cloughs and numerous reservoirs will be encountered. The bleak and wild moors of the Dark ·Peak are never far away and often dominate the views. The route was completed to my satisfaction in November 1987 having been put together on occasional weekend trips over a couple of years. My intention was to create an enjoyable (hopefully) circular walk suitable for short hostelling/backpacking holidays. The entire route is covered by OS Sheet 110 (1:50,000) Sheffield and Huddersfield area. Route Outline From Sett Valley car park, Hayfield via Cracken Edge - South Head - Dimpus Gate Rushup Edge - Rowter Farm - Bradwell Moor - Bradwell. Abney Moor - Leadmill Bridge - Hathersage.
