The northern part of the site however lies within the boundary of Chesterfield Borough Council (see map showing Borough boundary below). The site is approximately 2 miles north of the town of Bolsover and it lies in close proximity to the M1 Motorway which is within 200 metres to the west. The nearest settlement is Stanfree which lies approximately 0.5 miles to the east of the site. 2.2 The site is approximately 11.8 hectares in size and comprises of a partially restored coal stocking site which once formed part of a larger coal disposal point with a Rail head facility. The Oxcroft Stocking Ground ceased its use as a disposal point in 2009. 2.3 The site is broken up in to three areas separated by woodland. The southern portion of the Site consisted of part of the former Oxcroft Colliery. The south-eastern part of the site was subsequently worked for surface coal until fairly recently. Stock- piles of coal are still being removed from site. The western field (formerly part of the colliery) has since been restored to horse- grazed pasture. The, much smaller, northern part of the site was not part of the colliery, and has been used to graze horses since at least 1999, and potentially considerably earlier. 2.4 The site has belts of trees and shrubbery running through it which segregates the three open sections of the application site. The south of the site has a further belt of trees and shrubbery screening it from Mill Lane whilst the west of the site is bound by a mature hedgerow. A disused railway forms the northern and eastern boundary to the site with intermittent trees and shrubbery in the north-eastern corner. 2.5 Beyond the Borough boundary there is an existing formal vehicular access to the south east of the site from Mill Lane, this is the only access point into the site for both pedestrians and vehicles. Mill Lane is a single carriageway road with one lane in each direction and is approximately 5.5-6m wide. Mill Lane joins Woodthorpe Road to the west and Clowne Road to the east. There are no pedestrian footways along Mill Lane and there are no public rights of way within the site. 2.6 There are two small ponds which lie in between the northern and eastern part of the site. These ponds are located within the belts of woodland but lie outside the actual application site boundary. 2.7 The site is bound by the following land uses: To the north by the disused railway with agricultural land beyond; To the east by the former rail head and former disposal point; To the west by agricultural land and the M1 motorway; To the south by Mill Lane and agricultural land. 3.0 RELEVANT SITE HISTORY 3.1 See table 1 (extracted from the Planning Statement) below: 4.0 THE PROPOSAL 4.1 The application, which is submitted in full, proposes development comprising a Solar Photovoltaic Farm on site. The solar farm is to utilise circa 11.8 hectares of the site to provide a series of solar arrays to generate a combined installed electricity generated capacity of 4.64MWp (p = peak production) of electricity per annum. The proposed development will utilise renewable energy sources to generate electricity, which will be supplied to both domestic and commercial consumers via the local distribution network. 4.2 In summary the proposed development comprises: “Construction of a temporary Solar Farm, to include the installation of Solar Panels with transformers, a District Network Operator (DNO) substation, security fence and gate (incorporating infra-red cameras) and other associated infrastructure” 4.3 The principle elements of the proposed development as a whole are as follows: The proposed development is to be composed of a multi- hectare, fixed tilt, ground mounted PV solar array, which will deliver power to the electrical grid; The key components include the solar modules, support frames for the modules, inverters and transformers; The array is to consist of a maximum of 16,872 (265 Watt) solar modules attached to a fixed ground mounted steel and aluminium racking system with a total height of 2.4m; To achieve maximum solar gain the panels are laid out in east – west rows with space of approximately 4-5.5 metres between each row to prevent overshadowing. The fixed modules will be tilted at a site-specific angle of 17.5 degrees based upon the topography and latitude of the site and mounted facing due south developed with non-reflective material to ensure that there is no glare. The maximum height of the mounted modules will be no higher than 2.4m from ground level to the top of the panel frame; The solar radiation is converted into electricity in each individual cell of the PV module and converted from Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC) in the inverter. The circuit is then connected to a transformer which enables the power generated from the solar array to be distributed over the licensed Distribution Network Owner’s (‘DNO’) electrical lines at the correct voltage; The direct current (DC) from the panels will be fed to 125 string inverters, which will convert it to alternating current (AC). These are painted dark green in colour and located along a central site axis; The erection of a single low voltage sub-station is to be included to export the electricity generated at the farm; An ‘Energy Storage Unit’ could potentially be located within the site which would be used to store energy generated by the Solar Farm to allow electricity output to be adjusted to match demand. This would also allow electricity generation during the night if required; A new 2.2 metre high security fence (deer fence) is to be erected around the perimeter of the site with associated landscaping; 1.2m high pole mounted infra-red cameras set within the boundary of the perimeter fence to provide additional security (see Infra-Red Camera Specification Details); The existing access off Mill Lane will be utilised for construction and light maintenance work with an area of hardstanding provided for maintenance vehicles to park and turn; Temporary access tracks will be formed using bog mats during the construction period with a permanent bridge being constructed over Clowne Brook to allow for permanent access to the northern part of the site; Swales which are 3 metres in width and up to 150mm in depth will be inserted within the eastern part of the site to ensure any contaminants from the construction phase will not run off into the existing water courses; and Introduction of new tree and hedgerow planting and the seeding of the northern and western parts of the site with a wildflower meadow mix such as Emorsgate EM1. It is however noted that the Borough boundary runs along the alignment of the Clowne Brook and therefore of the development described above only the northern field, which comprises entirely of module array and security fencing, and the northern edge of the proposed bridge lies within the Borough boundary of CBC and it is only this element of the application proposals upon which the planning decision by CBC can be based. 4.4 The installation will be carried out utilising a variety of powered equipment, such as a crane, post pounders, forklifts and trenchers. The majority of the work will, however involve manual labour utilising hand tools. The installation period is expected last between 10-12 weeks, with activities taking place between 07.30- 19.30 hours Monday to Friday and 07.30-16.00 hours on Saturdays with no working on Sundays. 4.5 The solar panels are designed with an operational life of 39 years, whereby upon conclusion the solar panels will be dismantled and removed prior to the site being reinstated. 4.6 The works required to connect the solar farm to the National Grid will be undertaken by an ICP on behalf of the DNO utilising their permitted development rights prescribed in s17 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995.

    Section A DECISION NOTICE For Publication AUGUST 2016 THE OFFICE OF POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR DERBYSHIRE DECISION RECORD Received in OPCC Request for PCC Decision OPCC Ref: 33/ 16 Date: 27 June 2016 Title: COMPENSATION: BOLSOVER DISTRICT COUNCIL Executive Summary: Five years ago, the Police Authority approved Derbyshire Police to co-locate the Bolsover Section to Bolsover District Council Offices. The Council took on an obligation to provide similar facilities were they to relocate, which they did, to Clowne. Bolsover District Council has already paid Derbyshire Police a sum to relocate from their council offices to temporary accommodation and to then move into a more permanent solution at Oxcroft House. This coincided with the force’s strategic policing review so the Chief Constable and Commissioner decided that it would be inappropriate to commit to a further long lease of Oxcroft House as it may not meet the new needs of the force going forward. Considerable costs had already been incurred by Bolsover District Council in developing this scheme. Bolsover District Council have demonstrated that they have incurred costs to date (supported by documentary evidence); the Constabulary are still holding removal monies for which there is no justification. Decision Resolved that the Commissioner agrees to pay compensation to Bolsover District Council as set out within their claim and as detailed in the confidential report.

  • Why Is the Water Quality in the River Doe Lea So Poor?”
    “Why is the water quality in the River Doe Lea so poor?” Dissertation submitted as part requirement for the Degree of Master of Science in Urban Water Engineering and Management By: Mark Stevens Supervisor: Prof. David Lerner The University of Sheffield Department of Civil & Structural Engineering September 2011 Declaration: Mark Stevens certifies that all the material contained within this document is his own work except where it is clearly referenced to others. _____________________ ii ABSTRACT: STEVENS, M. 2011. Why is the water quality in the River Doe Lea so poor? MSc Urban Water Engineering and Management Dissertation, Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, University of Sheffield The Doe Lea River has a long history of pollution issues which once earned it the reputation of the most polluted river in Europe. Water quality has succumbed to the pressures of mining heritage, industry, agriculture, urban growth and major highways which dominate the catchment. The catchment has a poor chemical and biological classification status with the Environment Agency and ecological statues varies between poor and bad. Conditions of poor flow are often observed, which intensify water quality issues. In order to determine the reasons for the degradation of surface water quality, a project has been devised to take a snapshot of the water chemistry. Fifty water samples were collected simultaneously across the whole catchment and repeated for each season of the year. Analysis of these samples has developed understanding of pressures and influences that are contributing to water quality degradation. Via a mass balance analysis, it has been possible to locate particular areas of concern, determine sources and quantities of pollution and devise land management options to alleviate pollution stresses.

    Information Sheet A n introduction to the voluntary and community sector in Derby and Derbyshire Across Derby and Derbyshire there are over 4,000 voluntary and community sector (VCS) groups, ranging in size from large charities with over £10million turnover to small community groups who have no paid staff and operate on less than £10,000 per year. In 2012 the Listen, Value, Invest research conducted by Community Action Derby provided the following figures for the city in 2011/12: VCS turnover was £130million (1,138 groups) Volunteering decreased but was still worth £41.7million 65% of VCS groups will receive less funding in the 2012/13 financial year 87% of VCS groups expecting to receive less funding in the 2012/13 financial year 96% of VCS groups expecting the same or more people to need their help in the 2012/13 financial year. The range of services delivered by the VCS organisations range from small self help groups supporting their members to live with old age or disability to large housing providers managing hundreds of tenancies. There are also examples of VCS organisations that provide professional support, such as Citizens Advice and Relate, and those that work with statutory organisations, such as Victim Support and Neighbourhood Watch. For many years support has been given to these groups by a range of local support organisations, which tend to fall into two categories: General support - this is offered by the local councils for voluntary service (CVS) of which there are eight, generally focused on specific local authority areas Specialist support - this support is often themed around different communities of interest, such as age, ethnicity, sexuality, disability and rurality.

  • 08-10-2018 the Importation of Soils Oxcroft Colliery
    Public Agenda Item No. 4.1 DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL REGULATORY – PLANNING COMMITTEE 8 October 2018 Report of the Strategic Director – Economy, Transport and Environment 1 THE IMPORTATION OF 150,000 CUBIC METRES OF SOILS AND INERT ENGINEERING MATERIALS FOR THE REPROFILING AND RESTORATION OF THE FORMER OXCROFT COLLIERY TIP TO ACHIEVE BENEFICIAL RESTORATION, AT THE OXCROFT DISPOSAL POINT, MILL LANE, STANFREE APPLICANT: HARWORTH ESTATES INVESTMENTS LIMITED CODE NO: CW5/1117/69 5.396.17 Introductory Summary The proposal is to import approximately 250,000 tonnes of soils and inert material into the former Oxcroft Disposal Point site over a two year period to enable the beneficial restoration of the remaining tip area. In considering the proposals, I have had regard to concerns relating to landscape and visual amenity, ecology, land contamination and highways impacts and I am satisfied that the effects of the development can be managed and mitigated through an appropriate suite of conditions and a legally binding agreement. I consider that the benefits of the proposal to local communities through the restoration of the site would be likely to be substantial. The development is considered to be in accordance with the development plan and is therefore recommended for approval. (1) Purpose of Report To enable the Committee to determine the application. (2) Information and Analysis Site and Surroundings The site covers an area of approximately 12.5 hectares (ha) and lies to the west of the village of Stanfree, approximately 1.7 miles north of Bolsover and 1.2 miles south-west of Clowne. The M1 motorway lies approximately 350 metres (m) to the west.
