INTRODUCTION 1.1 The purpose of planning is to help achieve sustainable development. Pursuing sustainable development involves seeking positive improvements in the quality of the built, natural and historic environment and includes a requirement to plan positively to support local development. As such, sustainable development and the creation of sustainable communities lies at the heart of the Government’s National Planning Policy Framework. 1.2 In considering where new development should be located, there is a need to balance the requirements of development against other needs such as sustainability and environmental impacts. Development needs to be accommodated in settlements where the need to travel can be reduced through good access to facilities and services and where it can be accommodated without significant adverse impacts. This paper seeks to assess the relative sustainability of each of the main settlements (excluding the Market Towns) in the Derbyshire Dales (outside the Peak District National Park) and will be used to inform strategy and policy formulation in the Derbyshire Dales Local Plan. From a national perspective, none of the District’s settlements would be regarded as large. However, there are nevertheless significant variations in the land uses and services that are located within them, the relationships between different settlements.

  • Faith in Derbyshire
    FaithinDerbyshire Derby Diocesan Council for Social Responsibility Derby Church House Full Street Derby DE1 3DR Telephone: 01332 388684 email: [email protected] fax: 01332 292969 www.derby.anglican.org Working towards a better Derbyshire; faith based contribution FOREWORD I am delighted to be among those acknowledging the significance of this report. Generally speaking, people of faith are not inclined to blow their own trumpets. This report in its calm and methodical way, simply shows the significant work quietly going on through the buildings and individuals making up our faith communities. Such service to the community is offered out of personal commitment. At the same time, it also deserves acknowledgment and support from those in a position to allocate resources, because grants to faith communities are a reliable and cost effective way of delivering practical help to those who need it. Partnership gets results. This report shows what people of faith are offering. With more partners, more can be offered. David Hawtin Bishop of Repton and Convenor of the Derbyshire Church and Society Forum I am especially pleased that every effort has been taken to make this research fully ecumenical in nature, investigating the work done by churches of so many different denominations: this makes these results of even greater significance to all concerned. I hope that a consequence of churches collaborating in this effort will be an increased partnership across the denominations in the future. Throughout their history Churches have been involved in their communities and this continues today. In the future this involvement is likely to result in increasing partnerships, not only with each other but also with other agencies and community groups.

  • Kniveton News
    Kniveton News Kniveton's Only Newspaper December 2017 - January 2018 Sister Merle 1921 - 2017 Most of you will know that Sister Merle, so well-known in the village, has been very ill for some weeks, and she recently lost a very determined fight for life. She was an amazing woman, and achieved much in her lifetime. She and her twin brother were born in Hartington on 9th March 1921, and eventually moved with the family to Pethills Farms in Kniveton. The family attended the chapel in Kniveton, and in 1952 Merle felt the call to further service, a call which eventually led to work in Kenya. There is an excellent account of her life in Merle’s book, ‘From Kniveton to Kenya’, available from Methodist sources. it was an exciting, and sometimes dangerous, life, with encounters with the Mau Mau. Merle was very involved in the life of this village, and regularly visited the school and other people in the village. She will be fondly remembered by all who know her, both in this country and in Kenya, where she gave so much of her life and love. We will all miss Merle, but are grateful for the love which she brought to us all over the years. She was a very determined and amazing character, and never gave up on love and life, and what a life it was! Our condolences go to her family, who cared for her particularly at the end, as she had cared for so many over the years. We are all richer for having known her.

We rely on functioning ecosystems ‘for nutrient cycling, atmospheric and climate regulation, and break down and mitigation of waste’. It is very important then, that for continued sustainable prosperity, the environmental limits of natural resources need to be understood and respected. In this topic paper, landscape and soil / mineral resources are discussed. Air is considered in the Topic Paper: “Air, noise and light pollution”. Water quality is considered in the Topic Paper: "Water resources and flood risk". 1.2 The natural environment is a quality of life issue, and its quality, protection and enhancement are integral to a healthy and sustainable life for all species. The natural environment provides life-supporting ecological functions, providing habitat and food and cleaning our air, water and soil. The character and quality of landscapes provides the framework within which the natural and built environment sits, contributing towards local distinctiveness and providing a sense of place.
