Links and information for Agenda items
Item 4 above: Heritage Lottery Fund bid above: We received an email from David Morton, Clerk to Ecclesfield Parish Council, telling us that the Ecclesfield Parish Council�s bid for Heritage Lottery Fund, which they submitted with our letter of support, had been accepted. Because of this, we have been invited to the meeting of the Ecclesfield District Archive at 11:00, on 13th May in the Parish Council Committee Room. The Ecclesfield Archive is already benefiting from the Council�s backup facilities, however we might want to see if the Council will approve further expenditures, including if members agree the following �
a) �750 for the cost of the reply paid envelopes needed for the joint survey initiative. We could use this to, for instance ask people if they were willing to contribute photographs, reminiscences, or their time to the Archive.
b) �25 (buys �100) Google Adwords for the above.
c) �600 for new server hardware (�300 i5 cpu+ server motherboard, ram, �200 monitor, �100 PSU, mouse etc. = �600).
Item 6 above: Members may want to sign the petition against the Smithy Wood service station, or see other information on our web site.
Other communications, e.g. on 
The items in this section will not be gone through one by one, but will be discussed if mentioned by a member.
- We received a poster on the (Tudor !) history of Sheffield Manor Lodge, and an email saying that it was open for private tours and to the public from 10 to 4 on Saturdays.
- We received an email pointing us to several free historical tours of Sheffield Central Library.
- We received a booking form for a 2 day symposium on �Waxcaps and Allied Grassland Fungi� in historic parkland and wood-pasture. �40 for 7th and 8th November. It will be presented by Dr. Ian Rotherham and others, and will include implications for management and restoration of woodland.
Information watch
The items in this section will not be gone through one by one, but will be discussed if mentioned by a member.
- Friends of Ecclesfield Library have organised public meetings in the library at 9-11 on 29th April (Tuesday), and 7-9 on 30th May (Wednesday), to discuss plans for keeping the library open when it leaves SCC control.
- Sheffield District Council are consulting on their infrastructure proposals, including charging developers �30 / m^2 (City centre, �50).
- There is a proposal and consultation for what look to me like moves to reduce the effects of Local Authority planning committees, and even section 106 agreements, whereby local communities are compensated for loss of amenity.
Planning Applications
New planning applications
Italics are my interpretation, usually after only briefly scanning the documents
Removal of Trees (TPO Number 808/22)
Land Adjacent 14 And 15 Harcourt Rise Sheffield S35 1QD
Ref. No: 14/01369/TPO | Received: Mon 14 Apr 2014 | Validated: Mon 14 Apr 2014 | Status: Pending Consideration
Harcourt rise is just across the A629 Cowley Lane. There seem to be three trees involved. A copy of a tree preservation order (No 1 � 1970) was submitted. However, a current photograph shows them to be multi-stemmed, overgrown, and leaning towards the houses.

ALDI 82 The Common Sheffield S35 9WN (Site Of Rollem Patent Products)
Ref. No: 14/00605/COND | Received: Thu 13 Feb 2014 | Validated: Fri 21 Feb 2014 | Status: Condition application decided
Since the new heritage board had not been erected, the officer�s report did not accept the condition. The most up to date information officer report I could find on the Council�s site said �
�Discussions have taken place prior to submission of this application. These related to the proposed location of the interpretation board. The initial suggestion was to locate the board to the rear of the courtyard area but this was considered unsuitable as in this position, it was unlikely to be looked at by casual passers-by. The board is now to be located close to the footway of �The Common� so that it is more visible and more likely to be looked at by the public passing by the store. The location is acceptable.
No details of the content of the information board have been given as discussions are still being held with the Ecclesfield Conservation Group and EPIP (East Peak Innovation Partnership) a group that aims to support and secure the long term future of industrial heritage in the area. This part of the condition cannot be discharged.�

Hydra Business Park Nether Lane Sheffield S35 9ZX
Ref. No: 14/00509/COND | Received: Thu 13 Feb 2014 | Validated: Fri 14 Feb 2014 | Status: Pending Consideration

Ref. No: 14/00518/FUL | Received: Fri 07 Feb 2014 | Validated: Mon 10 Feb 2014 | Status: Granted Conditionally

Whitley Lane Farm Whitley Lane Sheffield S35 9ZD.
Ref. No: 14/00064/FUL | Received: Mon 13 Jan 2014 | Validated: Mon 17 Feb 2014 | Status: Pending Consideration
Firstly, it appears to me that parts of the existing farm buildings, and a wall is being demolished. Then the �visual� shows, the buildings, (if they are the original buildings), completely reclad for residential purposes.
----------------------------
Previous planning applications, still pending
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whitley Hall Hotel Elliot Lane Sheffield S35 8NR
Ref. No: 14/00145/LBC | Received: Wed 22 Jan 2014 | Validated: Mon 03 Feb 2014 | Status: Pending Consideration
The heritage statement says this is a grade II* listed building, dating from the 1580�s, and the land is green belt. As far as I could see, no demolition is proposed. Also, although the proposed extension is contiguous, it only joins the 2008 extension. Solar panels are proposed, but will be hidden behind by the steep pitch roof. The application details several changes suggested by English Heritage and Sheffield City Council, for instance to improve compatibility between old and new parts of the building. English Heritage say they are satisfied
One of the changes is to move the car park further away from the house and into the grounds; however the application claims that this is already an overflow car park.
There is one, very detailed neighbour�s objection. The
planning issues it mentions include�
* A nearby planning application was refused on appeal
* Increase in noise, litter, and light pollution.
*The hazard created by the extra traffic, particularly at the point where
Elliot Lane and Whitely Road join, and where the road is a single carriageway.
The danger posed by the increased traffic resulting from the extension on the
safety of pedestrians, and horse riders.
* Effects on wildlife of pushing cars further into the grounds � although I
have no idea which wildlife that would be.
