THE final round of a windfarm battle is set to begin next week.

Renewable energy company Energiekontor UK is appealing a decision to reject its bid for a five-turbine scheme in the hamlet of Fenrother, near Longhorsley.

The application was turned down unanimously by Northumberland County Council’s Planning and Environment Committee in January.

Members backed officers’ recommendations that the scheme should be refused on grounds of unacceptable impact on the landscape, greenbelt extension, Northumberland National Park and residential amenity, insufficient information on noise and archaeology, the impact on Newcastle Airport and Ministry of Defence radar, and the cumulative impact of turbines.

However, an independent Planning Inspector will now examine the application in a six-day public inquiry.

It will begin at Morpeth Town Hall on Wednesday morning and will include an evening session on Thursday, from 7pm, for members of the public to have their say.

During the hearing, the Fight Fenrother and Longhorsley Windfarm Group hopes to fly a blimp at the height of the proposed 126.5metre-high turbines to demonstrate the impact they could have on the wider area.

Chairman James Lunn said: “We feel better than ever about this application. We think the county council has put together an honest, considered case and there is only one obvious outcome – this appeal will be dismissed. We are very confident about that.

“We are looking forward to moving on with our lives without having to spend every hour we have fighting this proposed windfarm.”

However, Energiekontor Project Manager Sam Dewar is confident that the company has a strong case.

He said: “We have presented some additional residential amenity information, but that is very much for clarification purposes and the proposal is still as it was first submitted. We still think it is acceptable.

“We have removed some of the refusal reasons, such as the aviation reason, so we are very much down to impact on landscape, residential amenity and the impact on the proposed greenbelt.

“We just hope that common sense prevails over the two weeks.”

AN estate in Northumberland will be opening up for an afternoon to raise money for St Oswald’s Hospice.

Blagdon, usually closed to the public, is urging people to come along between noon and 4.30pm on Sunday.

Guests can explore the grounds, go on a woodland walk and enjoy pony rides and trailer tours – tickets cost £3.50 and children under 10 go free.

PLANS for a new hotel on the edge of Ponteland have been turned down.

The application by Andrew Singh for a 46-bedroom facility at Street Houses, near the Badger pub and restaurant and Dobbies Garden World, would have involved demolishing the two vacant two-storey semi-detached buildings and replacing them with a three-storey building.

There would have been parking spaces for 40 cars, three of which would be for disabled drivers, two motorbike bays and up to ten spaces for cycles.

A total of 41 residents submitted objections to Northumberland County Council. One of the main reasons why they were unhappy is that the site is in the greenbelt between Ponteland and villages in the north of Newcastle.

Other issues raised included a belief that the proposed hotel does not meet the criteria for allowing development in this area and the larger size of building, loss of gardens, increase in traffic movements and resultant commercial activities causing permanent harm.

Objections were also made by the authority’s highways and public protection sections as well as Newcastle International Airport on the grounds of oversupply and overdevelopment.

Northumbrian Water said insufficient information had been supplied with regards to the disposal of foul and surface water and the county ecologist said an extended habitat survey was required to check for the presence of protected species.

And now the county council has refused the bid under delegated powers.

In a report, planning officers say: “It is considered that the proposed hotel would constitute inappropriate development in the greenbelt.

“It would not fall within any of the categories of development that may be permitted within the greenbelt, it would represent a replacement building that would not be within the same use and would be significantly larger than the existing dwellings on the site.

“There are no ‘very special circumstances’ that would outweigh this policy conflict.

“The design of the proposed development would result in a large three-storey building being built close to the boundary of the site which, together with the removal of trees, would result in an incongruous feature highly visible from the roadside in a rural setting, therefore having a detrimental impact on the visual amenity of the site.

“The application does not incorporate adequate on-site vehicular parking and manoeuvring facilities to the standard required by the local planning authority.

“The proposal would therefore be likely to lead to an undesirable increase in on-street parking to the detriment of highway safety.

“It would also result in the unacceptable loss of trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order and the proposed works could have an impact on the crown and root systems of the trees.”

Planning permission was granted by Castle Morpeth Council in 2006 for a change of use from dwellings to bed and breakfast accommodation, but some of those against the bid said there is no evidence that this was implemented.

BIN collection times will be changed next week due to the bank holiday.

Northumberland County Council has advised that all collections in the county will be a day later than usual.

The change affects all waste, including recycling bins, general rubbish and garden waste.

MOVES are underway to explore the potential for a community trust in Ponteland.

But a councillor has urged those involved to make sure that residents are fully consulted before a decision is made about whether or not to proceed.

Such an independent body, also known as a development trust, has no set model but it does have common characteristics of being concerned with the regeneration of an area, aiming for long-term sustainability and being accountable for their actions.

Ponteland Mayor Peter Cowey has set up a steering group to look into the matter. It includes representatives from local organisations and the business community.

An initial meeting has been held with Tony Kirsop, who has expertise in this area, and more are planned to discuss the structure of community trusts and the ways in which they can operate.

At a meeting of the town council, Coun Cowey said that there is little he can say about this at the moment because the group needs further details.

But he added: “I decided to get involved so I could let you know what is happening with this throughout the process, rather than us finding out about it at a late stage.”

Coun Sue Johnson asked if there would be some consultation with the public before any proposals come forward.

She said: “There are many organisations already helping the community in our village, so we need to find out if residents actually want a community trust.”

The dilemma of whether or not such a body should accept donations from developments that the majority of people in Ponteland are against, if they are given planning permission, was also raised.

Community trusts can use the funding they bring in to manage public open space, carry out local improvement schemes and restore buildings, develop and run sports and recreation facilities, manage community centres and promote local heritage among other activities.

The Development Trusts Association says: “These trusts are concerned with the long-term regeneration of an area in its widest sense, with its economy, its environment, its facilities and the services and the ‘spirit’ of its communities.

“They aim to create assets in the community and make a profit, but not for private gain, and any profit made is re-invested in the community.

“They are community-based and accountable – in their work, their style and the composition of their boards of management.”

Following a request from members of the authority, Coun Cowey will ask Mr Kirsop to give a presentation to councillors about the community trust process.

The list has been passed to Northumberland County Council.

THE main shopping area in Ponteland was the focus of public question time at a recent town council meeting.

Resident Sheila Campbell asked if the authority could carry out some measures to improve the appearance of Merton Way, which would also help those with market stalls on Fridays.

The council’s environment committee will look into what can be done, although it says the main problem is smaller numbers of people going to the market in recent months.

Mrs Campbell said: “At one time we appeared to have a flourishing farmers’ market on a Friday. Many of the original stallholders seem to have disappeared. Why?

“Can we give some thought to the area designed for the stallholders’ use and make it more exciting and acceptable for buyers and sellers? Wednesday market at Morpeth is an example.

“The face-lift would also be more acceptable throughout the week for Ponteland residents and visitors. Those enjoying refreshments sitting outside the cafe would, I am sure, enjoy an improved view.

“Seats were removed some time ago and no plans were made for their replacement. Does the town council have any proposals for the future of this area?”

In response, Ponteland Mayor Peter Cowey said: “Why have some of the stallholders disappeared? There are not enough people going to the market.

“The environment committee will consider what can be done to make the area more exciting for stallholders, however will that make more people attend?

“Although there are currently no plans to install seats in Merton Way, the committee will look into the matter to see if anything can or should be done.”

NEWCASTLE International Airport has come out top in a new survey.

The facility near Ponteland has been rated the best of the larger airports in the latest Which? passenger survey.

Airport Chief Executive David Laws said: “This is very much in line with us securing the AOA Award for Best Regional Airport for four years in a row and is welcome recognition for our dedicated staff and business partners.”

A NEW sense of community is being encouraged in Morpeth’s main shopping streets.

The Morpeth and District Chamber of Trade will be appointing ‘lead members’ for areas of the town to encourage all business to have a say in what’s going on.

Representatives will be chosen in Oldgate, Newgate Street, Newmarket and Bridge Street to discuss concerns and observations with other businesses in their area, regardless of whether they are chamber members or not.

Reports will then be given to the chamber’s monthly meetings to highlight any issues for attention.

Chamber member John Beynon said: “It is trying to have little communities around the town.

“We know that Newgate Street has a very strong community, Oldgate is expanding and there are a lot of things going on there, and it will be the same in Newmarket and Bridge Street.

“There will be somebody from the chamber in each area who businesses can talk to about their problems, or positive things going on, and they can be brought back to the chamber.”

Chairman George Williams added: “We don’t like gripes, but if any business has them and tells us what they are, we will try to resolve them. It might be that we are banging our head against a brick wall and can’t improve the situation, but we will try.”

The initiative follows a successful arrangement between the chamber and a Newgate Street Traders group a few years ago to work together, even though some businesses were not members of the chamber.

A SURVEY is underway to assess the problem of dog fouling.

Northumberland County Council has set up the online survey to find out which areas are particularly affected and gather ideas on how the problem could be tackled.

To take part visit http://survey.northumberland.gov.uk/dogfoul/dogfoul.htm by the end of the month.

THE rain is lashing down outside, giving my allotment a well needed soaking, as I sit watching Buster, my Newbiggin Terrier ‘scooting’ across the sitting room floor. It’s anal gland time again.

I seem to spend a lot of time with bottoms, perhaps not the most picturesque part of our patients, but at least it has the advantage of being at the blunt end. The problems with the posterior can range from something as irritating as the aforementioned anal glands to the more serious pelvic wall collapse.

It is one of the safest parts of our patients’ anatomy from which to get a temperature, and a lot of information can be gleaned from the material that appears from the orifice that lurks under the tail. It still amazes me, however, just how many people are not aware of what their dog passes despite the obligation to poop scoop.

Just as our doctors are trying to encourage we humans to be a little more diligent in that department, so it goes for our pets, which can also suffer from IBS and bowel cancer — the sooner it is caught, the better the chance of treatment being successful. Parts of the urinary and reproductive system can also be examined per rectum.

Rabbit droppings are another fascinating entity as they traverse the digestive system of the host twice, the ultimate in recycling. It’s a great system when it works, but if the bunny does not eat the primary droppings due either to obesity or illness, then they can get soiled bottoms, which then attract flies and the situation can become life-threatening.

Cattle and horse rears have the advantage of allowing more than just a digital exam. There is no warmer place to be on a cold winter’s day than up to one’s armpits in a bottom. While there, one can diagnose a pregnancy (with or without a scanner), examine the guts (especially important in equine colics), check kidneys and bladders, and examine the pelvis.

Vets are not the only ones with a fascination for the inner workings of our patients. Parasites, predominantly worms, have evolved to successfully survive in this environment. Most animal owners are aware of worms, but assume they will see them if their charge is affected. Not so; pet, farm animal and horse faeces can carry thousands of eggs unseen by the naked eye and a lot of problems are caused by the worms before they even reach the egg-laying stage. Profuse diarrhoea, ‘poor doers’, ‘he’s just not right’ are problems often seen in worm-infested animals. The need to worm should not rely on seeing worms.

If we all paid more attention to what came out rather than just what went in, we might all live healthier and happier lives.

PLANS to ease parking congestion near a Ponteland school have been altered following consultation.

In August last year, residents living close to Darras Hall First School were informed about a proposal to extend some of the ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ restrictions on Middle Drive.

The move by Northumberland County Council followed complaints that cars parking either side of the ‘school keep clear’ signs on the road were causing major congestion problems and making it difficult for some people to leave or go back into their estate.

The measures would prevent parking at junctions and create passing places for drivers to safely negotiate oncoming traffic.

A ‘Prohibition of Driving Except for Access to Off-street Premises’ restriction was also proposed on Linden Way, meaning a driver can only enter Linden Way if their intention is to access one of the properties located on that street.

Now the authority has come back with changes and additions after hearing the views of residents.

In a letter to householders, Project Planning Team officer Paul McKenna said: “Whilst the majority were in favour of the proposals, the comments identified a common concern, particularly for residents of Middle Drive and their ability to safely access their driveways. The county council is therefore proposing to add ‘No Waiting Every Day Between 9.30am and 2.30pm’ on the north side of Middle Drive.

“Due to the concern over dispersion of vehicles, school pick-up and drop-off would still take place adjacent to the footpath where it is considered safe to do so. However, the restriction will only allow parents to park for a short period and it will prevent all-day parking, which commonly takes place on a daily basis.

“Additional ‘No Waiting’ restrictions are also proposed at Broadway and at the junction where it meets Darras Road.”

The deadline for responses is September 4.

A COMPETITION to find the best wildlife image in the region is making a welcome return.

There are prizes for each category and the overall winner gets the main prize of £250. For details of how to submit your entry, call 0191 2846884.

COUNCILLORS are hopeful that a recent site visit will be a useful step in resolving a long-standing issue.

The saga over the second phase of Banks Mining’s restoration works at Pegswood Moor has been going on for more than half-a-decade.

The dispute between the company and local parish councils developed when a lake at the site failed to fill up and was considered a danger.

In 2011, Banks said it was looking to fill the ‘leaking lake’ with up to a million tonnes of inert waste, such as rubble, soil and rock, from across the region. The project would take seven years in total and involve many vehicles bringing the material to the site each day.

This was strongly opposed by residents, as well as a liaison working group of Longhirst, Pegswood and Hebron parish councils, and Morpeth Town Council.

Banks agreed to go back to the drawing board and carry out further consultation and a potential proposal presented last November showed how the countryside park might be restored to allow safe public access, albeit with a shallower lake.

Members of the group welcomed this option, but were dismayed when the firm said the infill scheme was back on its agenda in February.

The councillors believe the restoration can be carried out fairly quickly. They have said that the lake is not as dangerous as in the past, because it is now moderately full and although it may still go down in dry weather, it is not going to drain dramatically.

Concerned about the lack of any further progress, the group organised a site visit with a county council planning officer earlier this month. Coun Paul Kelly, chairman of the authority’s planning and environment committee, attended for information purposes.

In a report to Pegswood Parish Council, Coun David Woodard, himself a member of the group, said: “After touring the area, the county council officer and the working group members were all of the opinion that the site needed some more aftercare and that a safe scheme based on some revision of the approved plan was possible and could be delivered within a year.

“The group outlined the vision of the local councillors involved in the neighbourhood planning process of the park area being part of an open countryside green belt between Morpeth, Hebron and Pegswood. Members expressed their view that it was still a wonderful recreational resource with footpath links and great potential for wildflower and wildlife habitat.

“The area close to the lake is now like an amphitheatre and is quiet, secluded and screened from traffic noise.

“The officer said he would contact Banks to see if some progress could be made. Hopefully, the firm can be persuaded to deliver a restoration based on the plan tabled last November.”

A NEW online directory has been introduced by Northumberland County Council to help residents find essential information about a range of services.

A predictive text system is in place to speed up searches. The ‘find it fast’ directory can be found at www.northumberland.gov.uk/AtoZ
