Application No: 08/02695/FULA Ward Sprotbrough Parish Hampole And Skelbrooke Parish Meeting Proposal Erection of 4 wind turbines, associated infrastructure and services on approx 482 ha of land Location Land West Of A1, South Of A638 Wakefield Road, Hampole, Doncaster, South Yorkshire Applicant Npower Renewables Ltd Agent Date of Valid Application: 11th September 2008 ** APPLICATION PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERED BY PLANNING COMMITTEE** THE ABOVE APPLICATION WAS CONSIDERED BY THE PLANNING COMMITTEE ON 24TH NOVEMBER AND WAS DEFERRED FOR ANOTHER MEETING Following deferral of the application from the Planning Committee on 24th November, the applicants have decided to remove turbine number 5 from the proposal. The application before Members is now for 4 wind turbines and associated infrastructure including an anemometer. Turbine number 5 is the most southerly sited turbine and the one closest to Windy Mount and the villages of Pickburn and Brodsworth. Although the impact of the proposed 5 turbines on Brodsworth Hall and Brodsworth Conservation Area is deemed to be acceptable, the removal of turbine number 5 significantly reduces the impact that this structure may have on the listed building and Conservation Area. Windy Mount is the closest residential property to the wind farm and the one most affected by the proposal in terms of the visual impact of turbine number 5. Removal of turbine 5 significantly reduces the visual impact that the wind farm will have on the occupants of Windy Mount. The next closest turbine from Windy Mount is number 4 and this is approximately 600m away and will be significantly screened by existing agricultural buildings. It is therefore considered that the visual impact of the proposal on Windy Mount is acceptable. All other issues including noise, ecology and highways safety are acceptable. It is therefore firmly recommended that Members grant planning permission for the revised scheme. =================================================================== THE ABOVE APPLICATION WAS DUE TO BE CONSIDERED BY PLANNING COMMITTEE ON 13TH OCTOBER 2009 AND WAS DEFERRED TO ALLOW OFFICERS TIME TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES RAISED BY OBJECTORS IN THE TECHNICAL BRIEFING MAIN POINTS OF REPORT * The application is being presented to Committee because it is of significant public interest and is a departure from the development plan. * The proposal involves five wind turbines measuring a maximum of 125 metres to blade tip height. * The proposed site is designated in Doncaster's Adopted Unitary Development Plan (UDP) as Green Belt and as an Area of Special Landscape Value. * Hampole Wood, which is completely contained within the site boundary, is identified as a Site of Regional/Local Importance for Nature Conservation in the UDP. * The site is surrounded by the villages of Hampole, Brodsworth and Hooton Pagnell. The last two of these villages contain designated Conservation Areas, while Brodsworth Hall, a Grade 1 Listed Building (including a nationally designated Park and Garden of Special Historic Interest) lies to the south of the site. To the east of the site the areas of Skellow and Woodlands also contain designated Conservation Areas. * Government policies strongly support the need for renewable energy resources to combat climate change and Government guidance indicates that considerable weight should be given to the wider benefits of renewable energy. * The Regional Spatial Strategy (which is part of the statutory development plan) requires local authorities to meet specific targets for renewable energy by 2010 - Doncaster currently has two sites with planning permission for a total of 26 turbines. * A recently published (March 2007) Landscape Character and Capacity Assessment, which will form part of the Doncaster Local Development Framework Evidence Base, indicates that the proposed site is within an area with Moderate Landscape Capacity for wind farms (there is no area of Doncaster which has been assessed as having High Landscape Capacity for wind farms - areas of Moderate Capacity therefore have the greatest landscape capacity for wind farms in Doncaster.) * Government guidance indicates that wind farms are not necessarily incompatible with the objectives of Green Belt designation, nor with local landscape and nature conservation designations. * There are some 1200 letters of objection from local residents and a petition signed by some 300 people, objecting to the proposal. * Over 500 letters of support for the development have been submitted. RECOMMENDATION - PLANNING PERMISSION BE GRANTED MEMBERS RESOLVE TO ENDORSE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT TO ACCOMPANY THE DECISION NOTICE (SUBJECT TO SUCH AMENDMENTS AS MAY BE AGREED BY MEMBERS AT THE MEETING): STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR DECISION TO GRANT PERMISSION The Local Planning Authority has decided to grant planning permission :- 1. Having regard to the policies and proposals in the adopted Doncaster Unitary Development Plan set out below, and all relevant material planning considerations: UDP Policies SPU2 and PU3 - Renewable Energy SENV 5 - Conserving the Wildlife Resource ENV 41 - Sites of Regional/Local Importance for Nature Conservation SENV 1 - Protecting the Countryside ENV 3 - Green Belt SENV3 - Conserving the Landscape ENV 17 - Areas of Special Landscape Value SENV 4 - Conserving the Built Heritage ENV 25 - Conservation Areas ENV 34 - Listed Buildings ENV 20 - Parks and Gardens of Special or Local Historic Interest ENV 65 - Pollution (including noise) ST 6 - Public Rights of Way RSS Policies ENV5: Energy YH2: Climate Change and Resource Use Other material considerations Government guidance Planning Policy Statement 1: Delivering Sustainable Development Supplement to PPS1: Planning and Climate Change - December 2007 Planning Policy Statement 7 - Sustainable Development in Rural Areas Planning Policy Guidance 15 - Planning and the Historic Environment Planning Policy Statement 22: Renewable Energy Planning for Renewable Energy: A Companion Guide to PPS22 Energy White Paper: Meeting the Energy Challenge - May 2007 The Energy Challenge: Energy Review Report 2006 Doncaster Borough Landscape Character and Capacity Assessment - March 2007 Wind Energy and the Historic Environment 2. For the following reasons: Having taken into account all the planning considerations raised in the consultations and representations, against the policy background referred to above, it has been concluded that the proposed development is acceptable. In particular, the Local Planning Authority is of the view that its accordance with the relevant policies of the adopted UDP and the RSS, taken together with advice in the relevant national planning policy guidance, justifies wind farm development in this location on the scale proposed. A number of issues have been raised by objectors (local residents) mainly related to landscape/visual/green belt/wildlife issues. While there will clearly be significant visual

Construction of half of the proposed FSP has already taken place and a relatively small amount of Sterefibre is located on the partially constructed FSP. A much larger proportion of the Sterefibre is currently stored directly adjacent (See. Fig. 5). 2.2 ‘Sterefibre’ (see Fig. 7) is a waste that is produced from the Environment Agency regulated facility - Sterecycle - which is based in Rotherham. Sterecycle treats the mixed municipal waste arisings of Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham Councils via an autoclaving process (i.e. steam and pressure). In this process, recyclates (bottles, plastic, cans etc.) are taken out of the waste stream for further re-use and recycling. The remaining product that cannot be recycled is termed ‘Sterefibre’, which is an organic rich, compost like output, which is to be stored on the FSP that is under consideration.

One findspot and one event are recorded in the buffer zone. The findspot is of a Bronze Age flint arrowhead, whilst the event was a coring survey undertaken to identify any areas of raised land which may have attracted prehistoric and later settlement. The survey identified the sub-surface deposits as inorganic sand, silt and clay, with no continuation of the Thorne Moor peat and gravel spurs into the area. No listed buildings or Scheduled Monuments are recorded within the site or the buffer zone. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project records ridge and furrow earthworks and cropmarks within the site and buffer zone, though no earthwork features are shown within the site on recent aerial images.

    David Scott-Macnab. ed. 2019. A Sporting Lexicon of the Fifteenth Century: The ‘J. B. Treatise’, 2nd ed. (Medium Aevum Monographs 23.) Oxford: The Society for the Study of Medieval Languages and Literature. Pp. xvii + 379. ISBN 9780907570752. Reviewed by ANDREW BREEZE, University of Navarre Hearty congratulations on this volume are due to its editor, who teaches at North-West University, Potchefstroom, South Africa. He takes on one of the knottiest of medieval texts and sorts out its kinks. What he calls the J. B. Treatise is a miscellany of tracts (including jests and proverbs and lists of collective nouns) upon varied subjects (such as hunting, heraldry, wine, hounds, the carving of meat). Older authorities called it The Book of Hawking, Hunting, and Blasing of Arms or The Book of St Albans (where it was first printed in 1486); they further ascribed it to Dame Juliana Berners or Barnes (b. 1388?), Prioress of Sopwell, Hertfordshire. She is the Pope Joan of English Literature. Modern scholars believe that she never existed. (That does not prevent outdated feminists from writing on her even now as a ‘pioneer female author’.) The difficulty of his task was worsened by a second printed version (of 1496), with a treatise on angling added to it, and twenty-two early manuscripts. For the last may be mentioned a witness appearing since the editor published his first edition in 2003. The labour of dealing with variants (as also questions of scribal hands, sources, vocabulary, etymology) was one requiring a scholarly resolution and application of almost heroic proportions. Dr Scott-Macnab has spent years looking at manuscripts and reference books to produce his edited text and notes upon falconry or heraldry or cooking.

  • Limestone Woodland
    Limestone Woodland Summary Habitat Action Plan Doncaster Local Biodiversity Action Plan January 2007 “© Crown copyright. All rights reserved (100019782) (2007)” 1 Habitat description The Southern Magnesian Limestone Natural Area is of very restricted extent in the British Isles, being limited to a narrow band that stretches from Ripon in the north to Nottingham in the south. The Domesday Book records this limestone area as having particularly fertile soils. Historically the increasing cultivation of arable crops resulted in extensive woodland clearance from most areas, although semi-natural woodlands survived in the more inaccessible river gorges and escarpments, or as part of private hunting grounds, and later as part of large country estates. The limestone supports South Yorkshire’s richest woodlands. A distinctive assemblage of tree species typically includes ash, wych elm, lime and yew, with some oak and hazel. The limestone ground flora is very often rich, including wild garlic, dogs’ mercury and sanicle in abundance. Particularly diverse ancient limestone woodland sites include Hampole Wood, Barnsdale Wood, Skellbrooke Rein and Harry Wood, Scorcher Hills Wood, Hooton Thorn Covert and Hooton Pagnell Wood and the woodlands of the Sprotbrough Gorge. Replanted ancient woodland sites such as Edlington Wood, Melton Wood and Scabba Wood have a planted canopy but retain extremely diverse herb layer and under storey. 2.1 Characteristic canopy species Small-leaved lime Field maple Sycamore Large-leaved lime Beech Silver birch 2.2 Characteristic

The proposal is considered to be acceptable in policy terms having a limited impact on the openness of the Green Belt and the amenities of occupiers of neighbouring dwellings. The proposal is considered to be an acceptable and sustainable form of development in line with paragraph 7 and 8 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, 2019). The report demonstrates that there are no material planning considerations that would significantly or demonstrably outweigh the social, economic or environmental benefits of the proposal in this location. The development would not cause undue harm to the Green Belt, neighbouring properties, heritage assets, the highway network or the wider character of the area. RECOMMENDATION: GRANT planning permission subject to conditions. Leys Lane Application Site A638 1.0 Reason for Report 1.1 This application is being presented to Planning Committee as the application is a departure from the Development Plan.
