Apologies for the late publication regarding this week’s Ashbourne News Telegraph. Unfortunately the blog team are a man down, as Peter is not well at the moment.
From Sunday, we will also be losing Christopher – so if you are interested in joining this very friendly, small team, please email us.
- p3. Keeping with the traditional name – A ‘new’ name for the hospital, but Mrs V Wright from Parwich who submitted two names is quoted as saying, “If that’s what people want then fair comment, but it’s a shame a new building hasn’t got a new name….”.
- p5. Compost fire firm wins ‘green’ award – Vital Earth which of course has Parwich links through Mr Robert Shields, has won the International Green Hero Award and will now be automatically put forward in European Business Awards for the Environment. A spokesman for the judges said that they were not aware of the fire incident, but this would not have necessarily affected their decision if they had known. (more…)
Peak Park consult on Planning Framework
Posted in Peak Park, Planning on Friday January 23, 2009| Leave a Comment »
At last week’s Peak District National Park Authority’s visit to Parwich, planning issues cropped up at various points through the afternoon, and took up most of the Parish Council & public slot. Now is our chance to say how we want local policy on planning applications to develop in the Park.
The Authority are now consulting on their Local Development Framework that will set the local policies for future planning decisions. The consultation period runs to the 10th of April, but there is a lot of information to assimilate. Those that are willing, please start looking now and share your thoughts with us here at PARWICH.ORG, or with your Parish Council or with Parwich Village Action Group. Alternatively let the Authority know your thoughts directly via policy@peakdistrict.gov.uk
(If you can’t face wading through the complex set of documents involved in the consultation share your thoughts on and experiences of the local planning process any way.)
This will impact on all who live and/or work in the Park. For the Authority’s press release (more…)

Challenge to Carsington wind farm
Posted in Peak Park, Planning on Tuesday November 4, 2008| 2 Comments »
The Peak District National Park Authority and Derbyshire Dales District Council are considering mounting a High Court challenge to the Planning Inspector’s decision to grant permission for the commercial wind farm at Carsington Pastures.
If you have any thoughts on this issue you need to contact the Peak Park Authority by Thursday or Derbyshire Dales District Council before 26th of this month. Alternatively you can give vent as a comment below.
Updated Wednesday 5th Nov
Thank you to Gareth Butterfield of the Ashbourne News Telegraph for letting us know that Derbyshire Dales District Council and the Peak Park Authority had already lodged a joint appeal with the High Court on 28th October against the Planning Inspector’s decision to allow the planning appeal for a commercial wind farm on Carsington Pastures.

Government review on the Living Working Countryside
Posted in Housing, Peak Park, Planning on Sunday October 19, 2008| 1 Comment »
Many thanks to Chris E for pointing out the following:
Gordon Brown had asked Matthew Taylor MP to carry out review looking at how land use and planning can better support rural business and deliver affordable housing. The full report can be seen at the Communities & Local Government website.
Its recommendations include
- a community led affordable housing initiative;
- a trialling of new planning policy in one or more National Parks to limit the increase in second homes;
- new planning policy which accepts that all forms of business can be appropriate in the countryside;
- planning policy should have a flexible approach to home based work spaces.
The government has yet to respond. It would seem that what we have been attempting to achieve in Parwich is ahead of Government policy. Are there opportunities here for our communities; is it possible that we can persuade the Government to support directly local projects as examples of good practice?

Since our previous post on Tuesday, the final draft of the Parwich Conservation Area Appraisal is now available on-line.

- A summary of local consultation and Officers’ responses (Item 7.1 Annex 2)
Members of the public may arrange to speak to the Committee by contacting Democratic Services by telephone on 01629 816362 or 01629 816382 or email democraticservices@peakdistrict.gov.uk by midday on Wednesday 15th October.

Conservation Area Appraisal goes to Committee
Posted in Environment, Peak Park, Planning on Tuesday October 7, 2008| Leave a Comment »
Thank you to Sue Adam of the Peak Park for letting us know that the draft Parwich Conservation Area Appraisal is to be submitted to the Peak District National Park Authority’s Planning Committee for approval on Friday 17th October.
The final draft is not yet available on the Peak Park Website but it should be on-line by the end of this week with the Agenda & Reports for this meeting. Presumably it will be much as previously circulated with the amendments outlined in our earlier post of 8th August.
Do add your thoughts and comments below. Once the Committee adopt it, it will be taken into account for future planning recommendations and policy decisions. Members of the public may arrange to speak to the Committee by contacting Democratic Services by telephone on 01629 816362 or 01629 816382 or email democraticservices@peakdistrict.gov.uk by midday on Wednesday 15th October.
If you want the Parwich Village Action Group to speak at the meeting leave a comment below or contact Peter T on tel. 287. The village’s biggest concern so far has been that the Officers strongly oppose extending the Area to include all the village.

Wind farm going ahead on Carsington Pastures
Posted in Environment, News, Planning on Thursday September 18, 2008| 12 Comments »
Thank you to Gareth Butterfield of the Ashbourne News Telegraph for alerting us to this item. Although outside our immediate area it may be of interest to our readers and could have future implications for within the Park.
Yesterday the Planning Inspectorate over turned Derbyshire Dales District Council’s refusal of a commercial wind farm on Carsington Pastures overlooking Carsington Water. West Coast Energy now have the go ahead to build four large wind turbines. Details of the appeal can be seen at the District Council Website and the Planning Inspector’s decision can be see at their website (with a bit of searching).
It is perhaps surprising that this got the go ahead in such a conspicuous and archaeologically important site, though the Government is working to facilitate the planning process for alternative energy installations. Just outside the National Park’s boundary it is interesting to speculate how this will impact on the PDNPA’s reluctance to allow even small domestic wind turbines.

Thank you to Gareth Butterfield of the Ashbourne News Telegraph for forwarding the following to PARWICH.ORG:
NEWS RELEASE FROM THE PEAK DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY
PR 519 – 18 August 2008
Approval for two new village halls in national park
The Peak District National Park planning committee has given unanimous
approval for two new village halls to meet the needs of the 21st
century.
Villagers of Parwich (near Ashbourne) and Over Haddon (near Bakewell),
who attended the meeting, were delighted that they can now replace
out-dated, inadequate facilities.
Both schemes resulted from the communities and their designers working
together with planning officers to achieve modern, energy-efficient
buildings which meet local needs as well as enhance the national park.
The new halls will be stone-built to harmonise with their village
settings, with disabled access and limited parking. Both have won
backing in principle from various funding bodies, including the Big
Lottery Fund. (more…)
Planning approved for new Memorial Hall
Posted in Memorial hall, News, Planning on Friday August 15, 2008| 7 Comments »
After 1 ½ hours and super presentations by all, planning permission was granted.
Subject to funding this is how our new Memorial Hall will look.
The first item on the Agenda was a rebuild of the village hall at Over Haddon, which was approved unanimously by the Committee. They are currently also going for the same Big Lottery Fund grant as we are. Then came Parwich Memorial Hall. Between 45 and 50 people from Alsop, Parwich, etc attended the meeting, ranging from the very young to the more mature, and a very enthusiastic bunch we were to. The Chair of the Planning Committee had to request that we did not clap after a spontaneous burst of applause followed the first speaker. (more…)

Parwich Conservation Area Appraisal – Update
Posted in 2008, Environment, Planning, Posts of Note on Friday August 8, 2008| 3 Comments »
Thank you to Peter Trewhitt for supplying the following. This post has been up-dated 14th August in the light of Sue Adam’s comment below. The Environment Sub-Group of Parwich Village Action Group has had a response to our letter commenting on the draft Conservation Area Appraisal (see our earlier post ‘A living working community’).
The response consisted of three documents:
- a letter from Sue Adam of the Peak Park’s Cultural Heritage Team dated 21st July 08 (sorry about the delay about getting this on-line). Click here to read the letter in full.
- a summary of the comments in the Environment Sub-Group’s letter and to Peter Trewhitt’s personal letter, and what has been incorporated into the draft Appraisal. Click here to read the full summary.
- responses to some additional local comments. Click here to read these comments.
The letter focused on three main issues; the purpose of the Conservation Area Appraisal, which is “to define and analyse the specific historic character and appearance that justified the designation of the area“; the Consultation Process that has been followed, that the Officers feel is in line with English Heritage guidelines, is appropriate and cost effective; and the Conservation Area Boundary which the Officers recommend be unchanged.

New Memorial Hall Plans Update
Posted in Memorial hall, News, Planning on Tuesday August 5, 2008| Leave a Comment »
The planning application for the proposed new Memorial Hall should be considered by the Planning Committee on Friday 15th August. Details of the Planning Officers’ report and the agenda for this meeting should be available about a week in advance at the Peak District National Park Authority website, though there appears to be some confusion in that Members of the Authority have been told that it is to be decided on delegated authority by the Officers, and the Authority’s Democratic Services says it is to go to Committee.
Following submission of the planning application, discussion with local people and with the Planning Service has resulted in some modifications to the external appearance of the proposed new Memorial Hall. For full details go to our page Proposed Plans for the new Memorial Hall, however here are the new drawings that were submitted to the Authority on 30/7/08 (click on the images to enlarge them):

Architect Answers Our Questions
Posted in Memorial hall, Planning on Wednesday July 9, 2008| Leave a Comment »
Thank you to Steve Riley of Marsh Grochowski for answering so promptly the questions left in a comment on yesterday’s post on the new plans for the Memorial Hall:
(1) Is the square between the former Spar Shop and Fernlea cart shed essential for these plans?
The square is not essential, in the sense that access could still be gained from the ginnel even if access to the Square is lost, as the building is set back from southern boundary of the Square. In the design proposal the landscaped area we are proposing between the Fernlea cart shed and new building essentially ‘borrows’ the space of the square in order to extend it to be a more significant public space.
(2) Although the right of way can not be permanently blocked, will it be included in the general garden area and be available for access to the rear of the building?
It is intended that the right of way be an integral part of the garden area. As the designs develop we will give more detailed thought as to the best way to achieve this in terms of the landscaping finishes and materials used. The same applies for the space between the two outbuildings accessed by the right of way. This is currently labelled as hardstanding, but it may be more appropriate to treat this in a softer fashion.

In stark contrast to last week’s issue, today’s issue, 9th July 2008, of the Ashbourne News Telegraph is positively brimming with Parwich stories.

- p.10 The report on Ashbourne Young Farmers’ annual rally and field day at Chatsworth again contains some familiar names: well done Ben Chadfield in the junior tractor driving
- p.21 A short report on the submission of the planning application for our new Memorial Hall (see also p.44 and our recent post)
- p.23 Debbie is back from the States, and issuing a call for volunteers to help in various capacities at Carsington Water (see Volunteer Centre’s website)
- p.44 Public notice issued by the PDNA announcing the consultation periods for the planning applications for the Memorial Hall rebuild and an extension to Station Road Farm, both in Parwich (see Planning pages at PDNPA web site)
- p.53 Parwich Hill Race results in full colour (see also the time sheets)
- p.54 Congratulations to Robert Cundy of Bradbourne whose bird came first in the Ashbourne Flying Club race from Hullavington (Wiltshire)

New Memorial Hall Plans On-line
Posted in Memorial hall, News, Planning, Project Parwich on Tuesday July 8, 2008| 4 Comments »
Ten and more year’s work by villagers is a step nearer achieving fruition with the submission of the planning application for our new Memorial Hall.
The Memorial Hall as it may become (view from the road).
In the 1990s the then managing trustees of the Memorial Hall Charity developed plans to extend the existing building on all sides, even putting storage cupboards in the narrow gap between the building and the ginnel. The ideas embodied in these plans are remarkably similar to the overall design concept of the current planning application. A significant amount of money was raised, but the Millennium Fund Lottery application was not submitted in time. (more…)

Shop change of use application withdrawn
Posted in Peak Park, Planning, Shop on Tuesday July 1, 2008| Leave a Comment »
The planning application for change of use of the former Parwich Spar Shop is showing as withdrawn on the PDNPA’s (Peak Park) website.
It is interesting to look at the recent application for the change of use of the Cavalier Inn at Grindon to fully residential. A previous application last year was refused on the grounds that non-viability had not been demonstrated. The officers again recommended refusal of the current application, though they now agreed non-viability had been demonstrated, on the grounds that alternative community uses have not been investigated. This application was again refused at the June Planning Committee Meeting.
Planning Applications Update – Mid June

Information has been sourced from the search facility on the Peak District National Park Authority (PDNPA) website.
There are no new planning applications for Alsop-en-le-Dale, Ballidon or Pikehall. There is one new application for Parwich:
- Hill Top Farm – Agricultural Building

Problem with the PDNPA’s on-line comments facility
Posted in Planning on Tuesday June 10, 2008| Leave a Comment »
Someone, who commented on the application for the shop change of use, using the Peak Park Authority’s on-line comments facility, found today that their input had not been received. The Authority was most helpful, and the person concerned had saved their comments as a Word document so was able to send it in again by email (planning.service@peakdistrict.gov.uk).
Everyone that has sent in comments to the Peak Park Authority should have received an acknowledgement. If you have not had any response, check you input has been put on file, either by ringing the Authority on 01629 816200, or by visiting Aldern House in Bakewell to look at the file.
If you have any further concerns about comments getting through contact the Authority’s Customer Services (customer.service@peakdistrict.gov.uk).
Spar shop change of use: Friday deadline.
Posted in Planning, Shop on Monday June 9, 2008| 1 Comment »
If you wish to register your support or your objection to the proposed change of use for the Spar shop, then your comments need to be submitted by this Friday (June 13).
This can be done by post or by e-mail. In both instances, you should quote the Application ID: NP/DDD/0408/0307.
E-mails should be sent to planning.service@peakdistrict.gov.uk.
Letters should be sent to: Peak District National Park Authority, Aldern House, Baslow Road, Bakewell, Derbyshire DE45 1AE.
To quote from the PDNPA’s guidelines:
Please be aware that by law, letters and emails received in relation to planning applications become public documents once we receive them.
By law we can only take account of policies and material planning considerations such as:
- Compliance with national and local policies
- Design and appearance of the development
- Impact on neighbouring property – loss of amenity, privacy or unreasonable scale
- Environmental impacts
- Traffic impacts
The law states we cannot take account of non-planning matters such as loss of view, devaluation of property or character of the applicant.
Planning Inspector Impressed
Posted in News, Planning on Wednesday June 4, 2008| 2 Comments »
Congratulations to Lynette and Richard, who learnt this morning that their appeal relating to the garden room at Church Cottage, Parwich has been successful. The appeal process has been a long and arduous struggle for both of them, so their sense of relief must be immense, and well deserved.
Announcing her judgement with unusual speed, the Planning Inspector, Katie Peerless, commended the input of the residents of Parwich.
The building has been in place for some time and I was impressed by the strength of feeling that brought so many people out to speak positively of their liking for the building as it exists. Development, especially in a modern idiom, is often unpopular in conservation areas and it is more usual to hear objections to change, both before and after it has occurred, than praise for an innovative approach.

Discussion about the change of use of the former Spar Shop continues (see comments on our post). Also there is a petition at the Sycamore Inn for people to sign objecting to the Planning Application for change from retail to domestic residential use.

This week’s News Telegraph

So far I have only found three snippets in the Ashbourne News Telegraph directly relating to our immediate area:
- A planning application for creation of a menage and associated change of use from agricultural to equestrian at Royston Grange Farm, Ballidon.
- Today’s planning appeal relating to the garden room at Church Cottage, Parwich. The paper obviously has not been paying close enough attention to PARWICH.ORG as they missed our news that the venue had been changed from Aldern House in Bakewell to a more local setting. (Click here for our report.)
- This Friday sees the Divisional Finals of the Ashbourne Town Darts League at the Empire. We have two teams competing: the Sycamore playing Tiger Cubs for Division 3; and the Legion playing Bradley House for Division 1.
Indirectly linked to Parwich, there is an article relating to the Ashbourne Volunteer Centre, which is holding a photographic competition to coincide with the National Volunteers’ Week which runs from Sunday (1st June) to Saturday (7th June). (more…)

The Planning Inspector presiding was Katie Peerless, a chartered architect. It had been originally arranged for a specialist ‘enforcement’ inspector to hear the case, but at the appellants’ request he was replaced by an architect, as both the appellants and the Authority were arguing on design grounds. The meeting opened with the Inspector summarising her understanding of the written representations. (more…)
