As soon as possible after the decision is made, authority is given to publish the decision and the reasons for it on the Council’s Dore Neighbourhood Plan web page and such other manner, which will bring the decision and the designation to the attention of people who live, work or carry on business in the neighbourhood area, in accord with statute 1. ________________________________________________________________ Background Papers: a) Proposed Dore Neighbourhood Area Boundary, submitted by Dore Village Society (see Main Report Appendix 1). b) Statement stating why the proposed neighbourhood area is considered appropriate and that Dore Village Society is a relevant neighbourhood planning body (see Main Report Appendix 2) c) Map showing the part of Dore Neighbourhood Area to be designated by Sheffield Planning Authority (see Main Report Appendix 3) Category of Report: OPEN 1 Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, Part 2, Regulation 7 Page 2 of 16 Statutory and Council Policy Checklist Financial Implications YES Cleared by: Catherine Rodgers Legal Implications YES Cleared by: Paul Bellingham Equality of Opportunity Implications YES Cleared by: Ian Oldershaw Tackling Health Inequalities Implications NO Human Rights Implications NO Environmental and Sustainability implications NO Economic Impact NO Community Safety Implications NO Human Resources Implications NO Property Implications NO Area(s) Affected Dore and Totley Ward Relevant Cabinet Portfolio Lead Cabinet Member for Business, Skills and Development Relevant Scrutiny Committee Is the item a matter which is reserved for approval by the City Council? NO Press Release NO Page 3 of 16 REPORT TO THE INTERIM HEAD OF PLANNING DORE NEIGHBOURHOOD AREA DESIGNATION 1.0 SUMMARY 1.1 Dore Village Society has submitted a valid application for the City Council to designate Dore Neighbourhood Area, which is the first stage in the neighbourhood plan process. The boundary of the proposed Dore Neighbourhood Area follows Burbage Brook in the West, Ringinglow Road and Limb Brook in the North, Limb Brook in the East except the inclusion of Beauchief Gardens and the group of houses between Beauchief Gardens and Limb Brook on the southern side of Abbeydale Road South, and Stony Ridge, Old Hay Brook and the River Sheaf in the South except the inclusion of Nos.46 and 48 Five Trees Avenue (see Appendix 1). The proposed neighbourhood area is coincident with the Dore Village Society’s ‘area of benefit’. As the proposed Dore Neighbourhood Area includes land which is within the Peak District National Park Authority’s area, an application was also submitted to them. This report only considers for neighbourhood area designation, the part of the proposed Dore Neighbourhood Area which is within the Sheffield City Council planning authority boundary. Dore Village Society also submitted a neighbourhood forum application for the City Council and Peak District National Park Authority to designate Dore Village Society as a neighbourhood forum. The forum application is being considered in an associated report, but the forum designation is dependent on the designation of Dore Neighbourhood Area. 1.2 Sheffield City Council consulted on the proposed Dore Neighbourhood Area application from 20 December 2013 to 20 th January 2014 as part of a joint consultation with the Peak District National Park Planning Authority, on both the forum and area applications submitted by Dore Village Society. The majority of comments received don’t object to the proposed Neighbourhood Area boundary within the Sheffield Planning Authority boundary. 1.3 After consultation, evaluation of the application revealed no legal, financial or other issues that would warrant its refusal, or escalation of the decision to designate the area to Cabinet. The designation of a Dore Neighbourhood Area is a positive contribution towards enabling sustainable development through a neighbourhood plan for Dore and will allow the Council to recoup some of the costs incurred on this stage of the Dore Neighbourhood Plan process. 2.0 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR SHEFFIELD PEOPLE 2.1 Designation of a neighbourhood area for Dore is the first stage in the Neighbourhood Plan preparation process. Once a neighbourhood area and neighbourhood forum are designated, the designated neighbourhood forum can move directly to the next stage of the neighbourhood planning process and prepare a Dore Neighbourhood Plan based on Dore Page 4 of 16 Neighbourhood Area. 2.2 Neighbourhood Planning contributes directly to delivering the outcomes of Strategic Core Objective: • Great Place to Live – this outcome relates to the activities and assets that make local neighbourhoods attractive, safe accessible and vibrant so that Sheffield people feel happy and content about where they live. 2.3 A Neighbourhood Plan for Dore ultimately allows the local community to promote development within their area while having a greater say in the way that development takes place. 3.0 OUTCOME AND SUSTAINABILITY 3.1 The main outcome is to designate the part of the Dore Neighbourhood Area which is within the Sheffield City Council planning authority boundary. This can then enable consideration by the Council of Dore Village Society’s application to be designated as Dore Neighbourhood Forum. Once designated, Dore Village Society (as Dore Neighbourhood Forum) can then start to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan for Dore. 4.0 EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS 4.1 No equality implications have been identified. Fundamentally this designation is equality neutral affecting all local people equally regardless of age, sex, race, faith, disability, sexuality, etc. No negative equality impacts have been identified. 5.0 BACKGROUND 5.1 Dore Village Society wishes to prepare a neighbourhood plan covering the Dore area of Sheffield. They have submitted an application to Sheffield Planning Authority to designate the Dore Neighbourhood Area; they have also submitted an application to Sheffield Planning Authority to designate themselves as the neighbourhood forum for the proposed Dore Neighbourhood Area, which is being considered in an associated report. Positive decisions on these two applications would complete the first stage in the neighbourhood plan process. As part of the proposed neighbourhood area is also in the Peak District National Park Authority, applications for area and forum designation have also been submitted to the Peak District National Park Planning Authority as required by statute 2. The Peak District National Park Planning Authority intend to make a decision on the area designation at Planning Committee on 10 th October 2014. Sheffield Planning Authority intend to make a decision on the area designation and the forum designation on the 16 th October 2014, with the area designation decision being made first. It is more critical that both planning authorities make the decision on the Neighbourhood Forum Designation on the same day, so that the 5 year forum designation made 2 Town & Country Planning Act 1990, C8, Part III, Section 61I (1) Page 5 of 16 by both local planning authorities will expire on the same date. Therefore both planning authorities have agreed to the 16 th October 2014 as the decision date. 5.2 Dore Village Society’s application to designate a neighbourhood area is valid in terms of the information submitted 3. Their submission includes: (a) a map identifying the proposed neighbourhood area (see Appendix 1); (b) a statement explaining

  • Earthwork Enclosure in Woodland 1 Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield Archaeological Survey

    Earthwork Enclosure in Woodland 1 Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield Archaeological Survey

    Earthwork Enclosure in Woodland 1 Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield Archaeological Survey December 2006 Prepared for: Earthwork Enclosure in Woodland 1 Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield Archaeological Survey Non Technical Summary ASE Ltd was commissioned to carry out an earthwork enclosure in Woodland 1 at Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield. The survey was undertaken in August 2005 and constituted part of a community-based project funded by a Local Heritage Initiative grant. It was carried out by a group of volunteers from the Friends of Ecclesall Woods under the supervision of a consultant archaeologist. Training in recording archaeological earthworks and the use of a total station was delivered during the course of the survey. The earthwork enclosure was similar in form and construction to the enclosures that formed part of the field system associated with the hilltop enclosure in Woodland 3 at Ecclesall Woods. This field system was tentatively thought to be Iron Age or Romano-British in date. Despite the similarities with the enclosures in Woodland 3, the date of the Woodland 1 enclosure remains uncertain. Further evidence of agricultural activity with Woodland 1 was identified during the course of the survey, including a possible linear clearance feature and clearance cairn. The linear clearance feature would appear to represent at least two phases of activity, the second of which is considered to have been broadly contemporary with the earthwork enclosure. Several post mediaeval or modern features were also recorded during the course of the survey. One of these features, a hollow way, was thought to correspond to an earlier alignment of Cow Lane.

Wood 3 is West of Abbey Lane and features the bird sanctuary and Woodland Discovery Centre. The points of interest are in order of visit to the named points on the route map below. • Q-Pit This is one of the more distinct of about 60 Q-Pits in these woods. They are characterised by a raised circular earth & rubble bank with a break and possibly a banked ditch on the downslope side. Q-Pits were used for the production of “white coal”. This was wood that had been heated to the point that all the moisture was driven out but not allowed to char like charcoal. White coal burns intensely but at a lower temperature than charcoal and was used for small scale lead smelting, the lower temperature reduces vaporisation of the lead. Larger lead smelting operations were in “Boles”, there are several place names in the Peak District incorporating “Bole“ indicating they were the location of lead smelters. Lead was not mined in the woods but either the ore (galena) was brought here or the white coal delivered to the locations where it was to be used.
  • Introduction

    Introduction

    INTRODUCTION Beauchief in Sheffield is a beautiful hillside at the foot of which, near the river Sheaf, and on the still wooded south-western fringes of the city, are the remains of the medieval abbey that housed, from the late twelfth century until the Henrician Reformation, Augustinian canons belonging to the Premonstratensian order. Augustinian canonries were generally modest places, although for reasons that have been persuasively advanced by the late Sir Richard Southern, this fact should never obscure the breadth of their significance in the wider history of medieval urban and rural localities: The Augustinian canons, indeed, as a whole, lacked every mark of greatness. They were neither very rich, nor very learned, nor very religious, nor very influential: but as a phenomenon they are very important. They filled a very big gap in the biological sequence of medieval religious houses. Like the ragwort which adheres so tenaciously to the stone walls of Oxford, or the sparrows of the English towns, they were not a handsome species. They needed the proximity of human habitation, and they throve on the contact which repelled more delicate organisms. They throve equally in the near-neighbourhood of a town or a castle. For the well-to-do townsfolk they could provide the amenity of burial-places, memorials and masses for the dead, and schools and confessors of superior standing for the living. For the lords of castles they could provide a staff for the chapel and clerks for the needs of administration. They were ubiquitously useful. They could live on comparatively little, yet expand into affluence without disgrace.

The area is a continuation of these Dark Peak uplands but the broad, upland plateau character associated with the Dark Peak alters to a somewhat lower landscape with a narrower moorland top and main western shelf, and a greater proportion of enclosed moorland. Edges are a characteristic of the area, mostly running along the north-south axis of the Moor’s western edge. This is an elevated landscape that drops away to the Derwent Valley to the west, the Derbyshire Peak Fringe to the south and the Yorkshire Peak Fringe to the east. The Eastern Moors provides a number of vantage points over the city of Sheffield in the lower lying eastern landscape. 2 Landscape Strategy and Action Plan Peak District National Park Authority 8: The Eastern Moors dominated by purple moor grass occur in places and may reflect Physical influences past heavy grazing or even agricultural treatment.

The actions published in the LEAP are supplemental to our everyday work on monitoring, surveying and regulating to protect the environment. Some of the key achievements on our everyday work include: i) In September 1998 Michael Clapham MP officially opened the Bullhouse Minewater Treatment Plant. The scheme is a pioneering £1.2m partnership project funded by European Commission, Coal Authority, Environment Agency, Hepworths Building Products, Barnsley MBC and Yorkshire Water. Within one week a visible reduction could be seen in ochre levels in the River Don, after more than 100 years of pollution. ii) Monckton Coke and Chemical Company have successfully commissioned a combined heat and power plant, costing approximately £7 million.
