  • Advisory Visit River Bollin, Styal Country Park, Cheshire February
    Advisory Visit River Bollin, Styal Country Park, Cheshire February 2010 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Bollin, Cheshire on 19th February 2010. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Kevin Nash (Fisheries Technical Specialist) and Andy Eaves (Fisheries Technical Officer) of the Environment Agency (EA), North West Region (South Area). 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 River Bollin is 49 km long and rises in the edge of Macclesfield Forest, flowing west to join the River Mersey (Manchester Ship Canal) near Lymm. The River Dean is the major tributary of the Bollin, and the catchment area totals 273 km2. The section of river visited flows through Styal Country Park, downstream of Quarry Bank Mill, and is owned by the National Trust. A previous Wild Trout Trust visit was carried out further downstream at the National Trust property at Dunham Massey. The Bollin falls within the remit of the Mersey Life Project which aims to carry out a phased programme of river restoration, initially focussing on the non-tidal section of the River Mersey, the River Bollin and River Goyt (http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/wildlife/102362.aspx). The construction of fish passes on Heatley and Bollington Mill weirs in the lower Bollin catchment means it is now possible for migratory species (e.g.

  • C/R/D Summary Skeleton Document
    Application No: 18/3219M Location: Costain Compound, Land South Of, LYMM ROAD, LITTLE BOLLINGTON Proposal: Proposed continued use of construction compound including associated access, car parking, construction vehicle storage, portacabins and other associated works Applicant: ., TEM Property and Galliford Try Expiry Date: 10-Oct-2018 SUMMARY The proposed development would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt which by definition would be harmful. However in this case it is considered that very special circumstances exist to outweigh the harm caused namely: 1. The compound is required in support of a major infrastructure project and meets all the requirements for a compound – and is already set up as such. 2. There are no preferable alternatives sites available, and all alternatives are in the Green Belt having equal or greater harm on openness. 3. The site is of a temporary nature. There are no objections on the grounds of landscape impact, amenity, ecology, Highways or flood risk. RECCOMMENDATION Approve with conditions SITE DESCRIPTION This application relates to the existing Costain compound located on the south side of the A56 Lymm Road adjacent to the Bowdon Roundabout, close to the newly constructed A556 in Little Bollington, but close to the Trafford MBC boundary. The compound extends to an area of 6.09 Ha, and consists of three elements. To the east, adjacent to the Bowdon Roundabout, is an extensive area of hardstanding used for parking, and a series of mobile low (but long) flat roofed buildings used for office accommodation and welfare facilities. In the centre of the site is an area marked as “laydown” on the plans where there are currently extensive mounds of earth.

  • The Peak Forest
    WW GUIDE THE PEAK FOREST AND ASHTON CANALS You begin in urban Manchester – and 21 miles later, you’re in a historic basin in the glorious Peak District, moored up beside a real pub. Richard Fairhurst savours a fine canal journey The Ashton Canal FOR MANY YEARS, THE ASHTON CANAL was synonymous with all that was wrong with urban waterways. The 1896 Oarsman’s Guide was uncompromising: “Its course is entirely through a manufacturing district with the usual unpleasant surroundings. The vapour rising from its waters caused by the factories on the banks, condensing their exhaust Bugsworth steam therein, is sometimes so thick as Basin. to make it diffi cult to see one’s way.” Downloaded by David A Calverley from waterwaysworld.com June 2012 Waterways World 71 WW GUIDE 1 1 Ancoats Lock 1 – By the 1960s, its star had sunk lower note the duplicated still. Though never formally closed, it was chamber. totally unnavigable: its channel dry, its lock-gates rotten or swinging loose. Local councillors and anxious parents demanded its infi lling. Its branches to Stockport and Hollinwood were abandoned, and the main line, like so many industrial urban waterways, looked set to go the same way. What saved it was an idea fi rst hatched in 1965: the Cheshire Ring. Adventurous holidaymakers were beginning to discover the canal system, and circular routes were perfect for a week’s holiday. The Ashton and adjacent canals would provide the ‘missing link’ in one such route. Volunteers from the Peak Forest Canal Society, the Inland Waterways Association, and (latterly) the new Waterway Recovery 2 Group set about bringing the canal back to life.
