The White House DESIGN & ACCESS STATEMENT FOR – “Internal layout improvements to existing second floor accommodation and proposed installation of dormer windows” Riverside Cottage Leek Road, Waterhouses On behalf of Mr & Mrs Whitta 27th June 2016 Registered No. 7515035 1 - 3 Greenhill, Wirksworth, Derbyshire, DE4 4EN VAT Registration No. 570 9067 28 Tel: 01629 825 491 [email protected] Director: Derek Trowell BA (Hons) Dip. Arch RIBA www.derektrowellarchitects.co.uk Page 1 of 10 DESIGN & ACCESS STATEMENT REF: Riverside Cottage, Waterhouses This document has been prepared to support a Householder Planning Application in order to introduce the proposed layout & access improvements at Riverside Cottage, Leek Road, Waterhouses. This statement will be based on providing an introduction to the site, its history, some local planning history and a look at the planning policy context; Registered No. 7515035 1 - 3 Greenhill, Wirksworth, Derbyshire, DE4 4EN VAT Registration No. 570 9067 28 Tel: 01629 825 491 [email protected] Director: Derek Trowell BA (Hons) Dip. Arch RIBA www.derektrowellarchitects.co.uk Page 2 of 10 SITE LOCATION: Waterhouses is a village in the south of the Staffordshire Peak District on the road from Leek to Ashbourne. Much of the village is close to the River Hamps, a tributary of the River Manifold, and at the southern end of the track of the former Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway (now the Manifold Way), which ran to Hulme End. Nearby is the Cauldon cement plant of Lafarge Cement, and a large Tarmac limestone quarry. FIGURE 1: Location of Waterhouses in Context with the Boundary of Peak District National Park Registered No. 7515035 1 - 3 Greenhill, Wirksworth, Derbyshire, DE4 4EN VAT Registration No. 570 9067 28 Tel: 01629 825 491 [email protected] Director: Derek Trowell BA (Hons) Dip. Arch RIBA www.derektrowellarchitects.co.uk Page 3 of 10 There are a variety of architectural styles within the locale of Waterhouses, but predominantly the traditional form and appearance of stone dwellings appears to characterise the setting. There exits a variety of built heritage in the area ranging from what are presumably C18/C19 dwellings to a number of much later modern homes. The architectural styles can vary quite significantly, but generally the materials palate is duplicated throughout the village and is typical of the district.

Arch RIBA www.derektrowellarchitects.co.uk Page 4 of 10 INFORMATION ON RIVERSIDE COTTAGE: Our desktop survey has identified a structure being present on the application site as early as the 1881 Ordinance Survey Map. The 1881 and 1967 records of the Ordinance Survey Maps illustrated below demonstrate the immediate vicinity has largely been undeveloped with regards to the new residential developments. The local topography and geography of the surrounding area appears to have promoted largely quarrying and presumably some level of agricultural uses historically.

Arch RIBA www.derektrowellarchitects.co.uk Page 5 of 10 The site lies outside the main settlement of the village. Consequently the position is somewhat isolated bar a few other residential dwellings along the Leek Road / River Hamps. We understand Riverside Cottage is not a Listed Building and not within a Conservation Area. We understand Riverside Cottage lies on the boundary between the Peak District National Park and Staffordshire Moorlands district. Indeed it would appear that traditionally the boundary of the National Park followed the line of the River Hamps (i.e everything North of) whereas the application site lies just south of the River.

Arch RIBA www.derektrowellarchitects.co.uk Page 6 of 10 THE EXISTING COTTAGE: Riverside Cottage exhibits a typically familiar form and appearance one might expect for the area. A double fronted detached property formed in stone with reasonably small window openings. The roof is gable ended, relatively steep and finished with Staffordshire Blue clay tiles. The accommodation is split over 3 floors with existing bedroom space within the roof. The site is long and narrow, set between the leek road and River Hamps. Registered No. 7515035 1 - 3 Greenhill, Wirksworth, Derbyshire, DE4 4EN VAT Registration No. 570 9067 28 Tel: 01629 825 491 [email protected] Director: Derek Trowell BA (Hons) Dip. Arch RIBA www.derektrowellarchitects.co.uk Page 7 of 10 THE PROPOSED DESIGN: Riverside cottage has an existing second floor habitable room within the roof space. This is presumably part of the original fabric given the presence of a hearth and grate of some considerable age within the chimney stack. Generally proposed plans revolve around internal alterations and predominantly making improvements to the existing layout and access arrangements. The existing access to the Second Floor space is via an extremely step staircase. Using these stairs feels rather dangerous to the uninitiated, the goings of each step are very short making a slip on the stairs feel like it could be an inevitability. The brief of the project is to improve access to the second floor and make the necessary alterations to ensure this space is improved, useable and has an effective layout. The proposals revolve around the installation of a new staircase, accessed from a different position on the hallway. The resultant new layout ensures a better proportioned staircase can be incorporated, thus allowing safer access to the second floor spaces. Whilst the second floor roofspace has a reasonable footprint, headroom is quite limited either side of the ridge. 2 dormer windows are proposed to be incorporated to both sides of the roof structure. These would be sized to suit the massing of the existing building and formed in traditional materials to match the existing materials palette. The ridge height of the dormers would be below the main ridge of the house.

Arch RIBA www.derektrowellarchitects.co.uk Page 8 of 10 There are existing examples of dormer windows located within Waterhouses, both modern interventions and traditional forms. Given the proposed approach in being sensitive to the design and positioning of the dormers, it is not anticipated that their introduction will be a detriment to the surrounding character and appearance of the locale. Example images, Rocester Ln, Earlsway, Hamps Valley Road and Portland Place. Registered No. 7515035 1 - 3 Greenhill, Wirksworth, Derbyshire, DE4 4EN VAT Registration No. 570 9067 28 Tel: 01629 825 491 [email protected] Director: Derek Trowell BA (Hons) Dip. Arch RIBA www.derektrowellarchitects.co.uk Page 9 of 10 CONTEXT & CONCLUSIONS: Position & Context: Riverside Cottage is in a relatively isolated position and is read on its own merit rather than against the backdrop of Village setting. The proposals would not set a precedent and would not affect any neighbouring dwellings. The Use: The applicants are a family, and have resided at the property for many years. The proposals have stemmed from a requirement to provide sleeping accommodation that is safe to access and practical to use. The proposals should serve to ensure the provision of family dwelling that meets the requirements of modern family living. Design: Throughout the design process the applicants have held a strong opinion that the proposals should enhance the spaces without detrimentally affecting the external aesthetics of the Cottage. We trust the proposed designs are sensitive to the original character through careful consideration of proportion and materials pallete. Site Location: We note the requirements of Planning within the National Park setting but would hope the application is considered on the basis that Riverside Cottage appears to straddle the boundary between the Peak National Park and Staffordshire Moorlands district. Planning Context: Clearly there are existing examples of other Dormer Windows within the locale. These would appear to have been considered acceptable development and we note some of the later developments such as Portland Place in Waterhouses will likely have been approved fairly recently. In summary, given the above in context we feel the proposals would only serve to enhance Riverside Cottage and provide much more suitable accommodation to the applicant’s family. It is not anticipated any of the proposals would have a negative effect to the surrounding area nor character of the village setting.

  • 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).

Common sense is the watchword for the future and it seems to have been lacking, during a lot of the time in this pandemic, by quite a few. Locally we’ve seen the crowds gather in the Manifold Valley, around Thor’s Cave and at Dovedale Stepping Stones amongst other places with the most memorable legacy of their visits being the amount of rubbish they left behind, their lack of understanding of our communities and rural life in general and in some instances their downright rudeness and disregard. On the plus side it has meant a lot of people have had the benefit of looking at what we take for granted day in and day out…. the wonderful scenery of our area, the beauty of our small rural villages and the peacefulness and tranquility of it all compared to towns and cities.

  • Wetton – Summary of Regulation 4 Consultation Responses
    Audit Resources and Performance Committee – Part A 15 September 2017 Appendix 4 Wetton – Summary of Regulation 4 Consultation Responses Wetton Parish Council – Recognise that there are arguments for closing this green lane to any recreational motorised vehicle – or at least to 4x4’s. But also concerned that – the more that access to green lanes is restricted – the more that undoubted problems become concentrated on the remaining locations. Restriction should be for the purpose of minimising impact on ground conditions, and the associated environmental damage. A traffic regulation order should be made which closes this green lane to all recreational motorised vehicles other than during those months of the year where least damage would be likely to be done to the ground. Do not feel able to be specific as to the months in which this green lane would be closed to all recreational motorised vehicles, do not think this should be confined to winter months – but should be sufficient to allow time for the ground to recover and to allow for spring growth. A closed period from the start of October to the end of May is one such possibility. Peak District Local Access Forum – The route in Wetton Parish is 1,420 metres long. It runs along the north-western and western edges of Wetton Hill, from Manor House to a point on the minor road through the Manifold Valley a short way below Wettonmill. Its legal status is a Non-Classified Highway. It links directly to Non Classified Highway cul-de-sac route to Top of Ecton northwards, the southern end links to Manifold Way NCH which is subject to an all vehicle TRO.

These areas have their own objectives and standards. Article 4 of the Water Framework Directive requires Member States to achieve compliance with the standards and objectives set for each protected area by 22 December 2015, unless otherwise specified in the Community legislation under which the protected area was established. Some areas may require special protection under more than one EC Directive or may have additional (surface water and/or groundwater) objectives. In these cases, all the objectives and standards must be met. Article 6 requires Member States to establish a register of protected areas. The types of protected areas that must be included in the register are: • areas designated for the abstraction of water for human consumption (Drinking Water Protected Areas); • areas designated for the protection of economically significant aquatic species (Freshwater Fish and Shellfish); • bodies of water designated as recreational waters, including areas designated as Bathing Waters; • nutrient-sensitive areas, including areas identified as Nitrate Vulnerable Zones under the Nitrates Directive or areas designated as sensitive under Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD); • areas designated for the protection of habitats or species where the maintenance or improvement of the status of water is an important factor in their protection including 1 relevant Natura 2000 sites.
