Local Environment Agency Plan <9 e a - m id l a n d s LEA P s • • r A l > b local environment agency plan DOVE CONSULTATION DRAFT MAY 1999 W o f i E n v i r o n m e n t A g e n c y Information Services Unit Please return or renew this item by the due date Due Date En v ir o n m e n t Ag e n c y Dove LEAP Foreword *■ I am delighted to introduce the Consultation Draft for the Dove Local Environment Agency Plan. This is the third LEAP to be produced in the Upper Trent Area of the Midlands Region and looks at environmental issues within the River Dove catchment. The Agency in consultation with key organisations has identified a number of environmental issues relevant to this area. We need to confirm that we have addressed all current issues and the options to resolve them, taking into account the often conflicting demands on the environment by its users. The LEAP process will provide a vision for the environmental needs of the River Dove area. It will provide a framework within which we can seek to develop new partnerships with organisations and bodies with whom we wish to share a common approach on environmental issues. This report is published as part of our commitment to being open and consulting with others about our work. This will be part of a major consultation exercise and marks the start of a three month period of consultation. Following the consultation period the Agency will produce a five year action plan which will set out a costed programme of work by the Agency and other organisations. Annual reviews over the five year period will report on significant achievements and progress being made on the issues. Your views are extremely important. Only by letting us know your opinions will we be able to make a real difference to your local environment. I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Advisory Visit River Manifold, Staffordshire 25Th March, 2019
    Advisory Visit River Manifold, Staffordshire 25th March, 2019 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust (WTT) to the River Manifold near Longnor, Staffordshire, on 25th March, 2018. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with members of Derbyshire County Angling Club (DCAC). This section of the River Manifold has been the subject of a previous WTT Advisory Visit (2007) and practical habitat improvement works by WTT and Trent Rivers Trust around 2008 – 2010. The habitat works were the subject of a scientific study of invertebrate populations (Everall et al., 2012). In 2011, a study was carried out by Loughborough University on behalf of Natural England, looking at the physical characteristics of rivers in the Upper Dove catchment, including the River Manifold (Rice & Toone, 2011). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The Manifold is a tributary of the River Dove, rising at Flash Head and joining the Dove at Ilam. The upper reaches flow over geology dominated by sandstones and undifferentiated silt/mudstones, predominantly of the Millstone Grit series and Bowland Formation; these rocks weather easily producing finer clastic sediments (cobbles, gravels, sand). Further downstream below Ecton, the geology is predominantly limestone, which is more resistant but soluble, producing classic karst features including subterranean drainage and dry valleys; this results in the river between Wetton Mill and Ilam being seasonally dry (Rice & Toone, 2011).

Some of the attractions have been open throughout the lockdown (eg Manifold Valley, others are opening up in July and I have indicated those whose administrators have given no indication of when they are opening up. I have also added the web site details in view of their being no leaflets as such in the cottage.

Needwood & South Derbyshire Claylands Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Designation of Leekfrith Neighbourhood Area PDF 83 KB
    Planning Committee – Part A 13 March 2015 Page 1 14. DESIGNATION OF LEEKFRITH NEIGHBOURHOOD AREA (AM) Purpose of the report 1. To designate that part of Leekfrith parish that is within the National Park as part of the Leekfrith Neighbourhood Area, under the Localism Act 2011 Schedule 9. Key issue Under Schedule 9, section 61-I of the Localism Act, the power to designate an area as a neighbourhood area is exercisable by 2 or more local planning authorities if the area falls within the area of those authorities. Leekfrith parish council is a qualifying body for the purpose of designating a neighbourhood area, and has applied to the Authority and to Staffordshire Moorlands District Council. 2. Recommendation: That part of Leekfrith parish that is within the National Park is designated as part of the Leekfrith Neighbourhood Area (the shaded area within the parish boundary on the map in Appendix 1), under the Localism Act 2011 Schedule 9, section 61G. How does this contribute to our policies and legal obligations? 3. This is a legal obligation under the Localism Act. This proposal contributes to corporate objectives 3 and 5. 3: Provide a high quality planning service to the community of the National Park that achieves national park purposes and that is responsive to and contributes to the debate on planning reform nationally and locally. 5: Work with others in an integrated way to support local people to develop community facilities, local needs housing and services in ways that are sustainable and contribute to national park purposes. A measure of success for this objective is working with communities/ parishes/villages to support their plans, including neighbourhood plans.
