Agenda
for the Conservation meeting of
2018-03-27 at 19:00 in “The
Stocks”
A. Chair: Roger Tordoff.
D. Agenda Items (only one agenda item, and only one planning application, so the meeting might be short enough to allow attendees to see tonight’s football match).
1. Reports of the meeting in the Travellers, and discussion of any submission to the inquiry into fracking at Marsh Lane.
X. Any Planning Concerns. See the penultimate section.
Y. Any questions or comments on the “Emails received”, “Information watch”, or “Issues remaining”. sections below; or any other business.
Z. Confirmation, or change to scheduled next meeting date of April 24th.
1.
The inquiry
into INEOS’s proposal to Frack near Marsh Lane is scheduled to last
8 days starting on 10a.m. 19th
June 2018 at the Market Hall, Assembly Rooms, Soresby Street,
Chesterfield. If anybody has
any suggestions as to what the Conservation Group might
be able to contribute, let me know. Note however that I have read
that only “material considerations”, not just “strength
of public feeling” are considered. If anybody wishes to attend,
then they are asked to come on the first day to make this known.
I
should note that the
injunction obtained by INEOS which Councillor
Steve Wilson told us about, and
which made certain “direct”
actions illegal,
can
be seen at
https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/ineos-v-unknown-judgment.pdf.
Although my text search of
its 47 pages drew
a blank for “FCC Environmental”, “Starnhill” (Close),
“Ecclesfield” or “Blackburn” (Meadows),
I
could not see anything preventing the injunction being extended to
Ecclesfield should INEOS feel the need.
However, if anybody objects
to the injunction,
then they might want to check out the fundraiser at
https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/fracking-round2/.
We have received
another reply
to
our enquiry about fracking. The
list of respondents is now
…
Andy Bainbridge;
Steve Wilson;
Pauline Andrews;
and
Anthea
Browning.
As background; we understand that applications have been made to begin exploratory work to drill for gas in Rotherham and Derbyshire, and INEOS has been granted a permit to treat any wastewater at Starnhill Close (off Station Rd), Ecclesfield. INEOS has offered an estimated £2.5 billion in compensation, but as far as I can see, only to people living near the wells. More recently, Sheffield City Council has passed a motion opposing fracking on Council Land.
The items in the next few sections will not be gone through one by one, but can be discussed in any other business if any member wishes to bring them up.
Communications received, e.g. on ecclesfield.conservation@gmail.com.
Registration is now open for Heritage Open Days, with May 1st the deadline for receiving support.
Sheffield City Council have successfully applied and been granted £526k for an “Additional design resource, increased capacity in joint planning and innovation in the planning process.”
SCC have also bid for 4,000 homes to be built on 34 brown-field sites as part of a plan for 18,000 homes in the “Sheffield and Rotherham corridor”.
If any members can help, or want to bring any of the following up for
any other reason, they can do so in any other business.
* Our
on-line archive and website need attention.
*
Designs for the pop-up banners are still in progress.
*
We have a fireproof trunk for storing archive material.
Members might prefer a more generally accessible location if one can
be found [As well as perhaps other things such as our Gazebo].
*
We still have plans to survey major trees within the
Conservation Area.
* Sheffield
City Council’s alcohol licensing system is still not
on-line. This not only makes it difficult for anybody to find out
what restrictions apply to any licences granted in the past, but we
may be missing some of their new decisions, since we can only see the
latest (2 week?) decisions.

road. Also, the layout submitted with the application shows the
extension being outside the what the applicant conjectures to be the

trees that would be affected.]P

Status: Awaiting decision. Extension of time
until 2018-03-02. This is the full planning application for a house
on land for which provisional permission for 2 houses has already
been conditionally granted. The land currently forms the long back
garden of No. 135 which lies adjacent to the Kindergarten car park,
and continues almost to the lake.
Objections have been lodged
by Mr Steer and the Ecclesfield Dam Fishing Club on the grounds of
lack of permission for the proposed vehicular access from the
Kindergarten car park. The application is accompanied by a very
detailed 85 page report on contaminants in the "made ground"
of the garden, and details of their possible remediation. Most
recently, the applicant has provided Land Registry plans for his
site, the embankment, and the pond. ]

Still awaiting decision: From Green Lane, this is the first farm on
the right, after the railway bridge. The white square windows and
corrugated metal roof of the barn are just visible behind the farm
house. The previous submission was rejected, with the “re-cladding
in stone”, and “additional dormer window” being mentioned by
in the officer’s report. I am not sure what problems the dormer
windows create, but they still seem to be in the plans.]

Conditionally. 145 is the furthest half of the first semi in
the row of set-back brick and tile semi’s along Yew Lane. The
extension looks large and has a flat roof, but I can’t see that it
would be visible from Yew Lane. The floor space declared is 211 m^2.
The officer’s report said the extension was “set back”
and would not impact the street scene].

This is a large ( 14.9mm * 9.937 = 141m^2 ) Portakabin, to be put
next to the existing much smaller one. The
report said the area was “Fringe Industry and Business”, and the
mobile building would be far enough away and sufficiently screened
from the houses opposite. It also noted that the existing double
height mobile buildings would be removed.]
