Has the Civil Aviation Yes No Authority/Secretary of State for Defence/Aerodrome Operator been notified Details of response: N/A Developer’s Notice Copy of Developer’s Notice enclosed Yes No Date served Full Planning 3.0 Proposed Development The proposed site The application site is located in a remote rural area overlooking Torside Reservoir within the Peak District National Park. Torside Reservoir is sited some 75m South of the site, while Rhodeswood Reservoir lies approximately 200m South West of the site with a dam in between the two reservoirs with a public footpath known as the Pennine Way located on top of the dam. The nearest settlement is Padfield about 3.1km South West of the site. the outskirts of the larger settlement of Glossop is some 3.5km South West of the site, whilst Hadfield is about 3.75km to the South West. The centre of Manchester is about 21.8km West of the site. The area may be described as undulating with partially wooded areas surrounding inland water in the form of a series of reservoirs. There are currently existing network coverage gaps along the B6105 fronting onto Torside Reservoir and the current application seeks to rectify this problem to the benefit of not only local residents and visitors to the area but also more importantly the Emergency Services. Being sited within the National Park the area attracts significant numbers of tourists, hence the need to ensure that coverage is provided for the 3 Emergency Services in the event of an emergency. The topography of the area presents significant problems in finding a suitable solution for improved telecommunications coverage in this remote rural area. The proposed site, whilst sited within the Peak District National Park, is not within any areas of significance, SSSI’s , SAC’s or other planning designations unlike much of the surrounding land. Whilst there are nearby SSSI’s and SAC’s in the area, they are mostly set back from the reservoir and accordingly have been avoided.The nearest SSSI/SAC is the Dark Peak SSSI and South Pennine Moors SAC sited some 550m North and 950m South of the nominated site. Whilst the proposed mast will be visible from the SSSI, it will be on lower ground, with a backdrop/ intervening belt of high level trees and vegetation. Furthermore, it will form one of a number of vertical elements in this setting in the form of telegraph poles/ overhead power lines and lampposts, as well as high level trees. It is important to note that there is a series of high level pylons on the southern side of the reservoir, one of which accommodates an Arqiva site approximately 395m South East of the site, highlighted in the discounted options below. The site does not lie within a Conservation Area and there are no nearby listed buildings. The nearest historic asset if a Roman Fortlet, 320m East of Highstones located approximately 890m North East of the nominated site with an intervening dense belt of woodland and high level trees immediately adjacent to the site such that the proposed development will not cause any undue harm. The nearest listed building is 1.58km North East and thus is sufficiently far away to avoid any undue harm due to changes in topography and intervening trees and woodland. Whilst there are nearby residential properties to the North, West and South of the site in question there are nearby 20m trees which are either intervening or provide a backdrop to the proposed mast. The nearest property with views towards the site is known as Reservoir Keepers Cottage which is approximately 150m West of the site. however, the mast will be seen against a backdrop of 20m trees and accordingly will not be unduly dominant or cause any undue harm to the amenities of the occupiers of the property. Furthermore, the series of overhead power lines on the southern side of the reservoir are far more dominant than the proposed mast will be. In all these circumstances it is concluded that there will be no undue visual intrusion and the amenity of nearby occupiers will not be unduly harmed. The trees referred to above are located approximately 5m to the North of the proposed site compound behind a 1.6mhigh dry stone wall. These trees will provide context and a backdrop for the proposed telecommunications mast. Immediately to the west of the proposed compound approximately 2m away there is a 4m high single storey building. The land falls away by approximately 9m towards the Reservoir and rises steeply on either side of the reservoir such that the application site lies within the valley.
