A

Development

Proposal For Norley Developer, Partner Housing has submitted an application for

affordable housing in Norley. The proposal is to build 14

houses, on Barnes Field on School Bank. The site is pictured

here, and it is close to where the road forks into Maddocks

Hill and Hough Lane.

This issue has been causing controversy in the village for

some time now. While the Parish Council were interested in

developing such housing for the village at one stage, some

villagers views were strongly against these, so they were not

taken forward. This proposal has now been made without

Parish Council involvement.

This is an issue that will clearly raise strong views in the

Community and, as with other such matters in the past, NN

will try to bring you the facts and balance the views.

A village meeting was under preparation as we went to press.

This was held on 26 March at 7.00 pm. The next Parish

Council meeting is on 9th April. We will bring you a further

update next month.

Can you please help us give a more accurate account of the

flora and fauna in Norley for our report for Norley

Neighbourhood Plan? Our group has been set the task of

reporting on the wildlife in the village and as such we have

split up into 3 smaller groups: one to report on Hatchmere

Lake with nearby forest; one to report on Flaxmere Moss; and

one to report on the rest of the village. That’s where my sub-

group comes in.

We have looked at, the site of the former Anti-aircraft Gun

Battery, which has an active Rural Skills Centre managed by

The Conservation Volunteers, formerly BTCV. Do you know

of any more sites of wildlife interest in the village? Apart

from Waste Lane, do you know of any other ponds for us to

visit?

You may have uncommon visitors to your garden, such as

unusual or migrant birds. Your pond may be home to unusual

species such as the rare Great Crested Newt – some have

already been noted in a Norley pond! Please let us know

anything of interest so that we can include as much as

possible in our reports.

To help us we have included in the Norley News a survey

form and are asking everyone to fill in any relevent

information about their land or near-by land and gardens. You

can leave your completed records/information at the shop or

through my door – 15 School Bank (on the estate near the

Tigers Head). We will be sending it out again later in the year

because different species are around then. If you prefer, you

can download it from the Norley Plan website

(http://norleyplan.org/2.html ) and after filling it in

electronically, either return it as above, or by email, to Sheila

Norley Drop In Event 16

February 2013 A consultation event was held in the Village Hall between

11am and 6pm on 16 February 2013. The aim was to obtain

comments on the Norley Baseline Report (NBR) and its

conclusions, which had been made available on the new

Norley Plan website (www.norleyplan.org) for two weeks

beforehand and in hard copy on the day. The event had been

advertised by hand delivery of an invitation to every house

in the Parish, and by posters in the village. Catering was

provided.

There were display stands for the different parts of the

Baseline Report- Infrastructure plus Business, Environment,

Community and Social, Housing, and Education and

Health. Volunteers for each stand were available to discuss

the different sections of the report.

Visitors were encouraged to discuss the NBR and to record

their views on feedback sheets, which were provided.

494 invitations were delivered to each household in the

Parish, and 111 people attended the event. Eight copies of

the NBR were lent out. Comments were requested in

writing on a prepared feedback form, or by email. 50

feedback replies were returned (9 by email, the rest hard

copy feedback forms). This response rate of 45% of those

who attended is exceptionally high for surveys of this type

and demonstrates the interest engendered during the day.

I think its fair to say that the event was well attended,

stimulated discussion, and helped to bring villagers up to

date. Well done helpers!

The feedback requested, and received, focused more on the

specific conclusions in the NBR, rather than the more

general comments obtained from our earlier questionnaire

of August 2012. However, they are consistent with each

other and help us to build a view of what people think about

the issues raised. There will be more opportunities for

discussion and to ensure your views are heard as the

Neighbourhood Plan is developed.

Written feedback has been very positive on the quality of

the NBR (a few errors or omissions have been pointed out).

Norley Green Belt Under Threat!!

A planning application has been submitted by Partner for

9 affordable homes and 5 open market houses

on the field at the junction of Maddocks Hill and School Bank

Do you want this view destroyed forever?

Your comments will be vital to preserving the

Green Belt in Norley.

If this development is allowed, it will set a precedent

and the field next to you could be next!!

The Parish Council is meeting on

Tuesday 9th April at 7.00pm at Norley C of E Primary School

to consider their response to this application

Please attend to make your opposition to this application loud and clear!

VOL 1 ISSUE 1

The Planning Application reference is

13/00982/FUL Land adj. to Redcot School Bank

It can be viewed on the CW&C website

Closing date for comments 11th April, 2013

Comments can be sent by post to:

More detailed comments on the individual conclusions in the

NBR are described below.

We have only reported comments which are multiple, and

which are supported by similar comments on more than 8%

of the total number of the feedback forms / emails returned.

“Moderate” and “Strong Support” means contained or

duplicated in more than 10% and 20% of all feedback reports,

respectively.

Details:

Infrastructure and Business:

There was strong support for the need for high speed

broadband. It was pointed out that this affects students as well

as businesses.

There was specific opposition to, and no support for,

provision of business startup units, and concerns they could

lead to more road traffic.

Speeding in Norley is a real issue, especially in Blakemere

Lane / Delamere Road, also Post Office Lane (morning and

evening), and High St. Concern over the lack of a footpath

between Waste Lane and School Bank, near the shop. Strong

support for getting control of this.

Agreement that there is poor maintenance of roads, cycle

ways and footpaths.

Minimal support for replacement of pole mounted power

lines.

There was a small level of comment that we needed more

buses at more regular times and that Acton Bridge railway car

park needed expanding.

Moderate but enthusiastic support for preserving and

enhancing existing footpaths and a village walking circuit.

Community, Social, Health and Education:

There were few comments on these sections of the NBR.

There was moderate support for development of improved

activity / meeting facilities for the village, but also, noting

that the school and chapel facilities were underutilized,

suggestions that the current plans should be trimmed back.

Reponses on the need for improved health facilities were

evenly balanced, for and against.

The retention of the school at a viable size is seen as

important.

Environment

Strong support for protection and retention of the open

spaces within the built parts of the parish, which are valued,

and give Norley its unique character.

Strong support for active management to preserve and

enhance Norley’s environmental assets, particularly

Biodiversity, not only in the high profile sites but

elsewhere.

Housing and Built Environment

Unsurprisingly, This section of the NBR attracted the

majority of all comments.

There were a moderate number of concerns expressed that

unless action was taken to prevent or reduce demolition for

rebuild and enlarging, Norley could become a dormitory

village for the rich which younger people with families

could not afford to live in, and the school and other

facilities would ultimately close.

Strong support that there should be no new large scale

housing developments and that any lower cost housing

should be by infill in small numbers. There were no

contrary comments.

A significant number of responses suggested that all future

developments should be restricted to brownfield sites,

including affordable housing (a moderate level of support)

Views on the need for affordable housing are equally split:

of those that support it, half suggest it should be aimed at

the elderly (i.e. 2 or 3 bed bungalows or similar). People

had concerns that the concept was not affordable to first

Page 5: Norley News Apr 13

Norley News—April 2013 5

time buyers. Those that see no need for more affordable

housing point to the developments already in the pipeline.

In addition there were a small number of concerns raised

about the proposed development in Barnes Field at the

bottom of Maddocks Hill, and also a suggestion that a better

use would be as a nature reserve / wildlife conservation

habitat. This proposed development was not widely known

about during the Drop-in event and in any case is not part of

the scope of the NBR. Unfortunately, until the

Neighbourhood Plan is completed and incorporated into the

County Plan, we can have little influence on these and

future events. The comments will be passed to the Parish

Council.

We would like to thank everyone for their comments which

are invaluable to us and which will be taken into account as

we proceed to develop the draft plan.

7.30pm for 8pm. Everyone welcome.

The Diet Dilemma Losing weight or keeping it off has always

been a hot topic, whether it’s in preparation

for bearing all (or nearly all) on a beach

holiday, getting rid of the extra pounds

after a holiday with good food, plentiful

cheap wine and probably not as much

exercise as usual or for some it is an

ongoing struggle they have battled with for

years.

‘Fad’ diets and the latest ‘Celebrity diets’ pop up all the

time in magazines. How many of these ‘fad’ diets have we

or people we know tried? Grapefruit diet, Cabbage soup

diet, Acai berry diet, Apple cider vinegar diet, Low-fat diet,

Low-carb diet, Fasting diet, Macrobiotic diet…….Years

ago I tried the cabbage soup diet for 1 week to get in shape

before a holiday. Although I actually liked it (with added

spices and chillies), 1 week was enough! Diets may be

effective in shedding pounds in the short term but not for

keeping it off in the long term and how many of these diets

are considered to be healthy eating?

Why do many people who don’t overeat, do plenty of

exercise still can’t lose weight, when most health

professionals tell us that weight management is just a case

of balancing the calories going into and coming out of your

body? There is research that disproves this concept and

demonstrates all foods aren’t equal – some can give us a

metabolic advantage.

Thank you to those who supported the Casino Night in February, which was a huge success raising money for both the Norley Playground & our chosen charity The Ronald Macdonald House at Alder Hey. We did not organise anything for March, with Mothers Day & Easter (well most of it) being in March, and with two activities through May, are not planning any major events for April either, hopefully the weather will improve and we can just make use of the beer garden!

Saturday 11th May A 5 km charity run (or walk) mainly through fields and bridle paths in aid of Colin Gibson Charity which supports the nuclear medicine department at The Royal Liverpool Hospital, is being organised from here. Registration from 11.30am, run to start at 12 o’clock, followed by a BBQ, bouncy castle & raffles, etc. Entry fee is £5, sponsor/registration forms are available from here and from The Stores. You don’t have to run, make it a family walk and support this worthy cause.

The Pram Race Sunday 26th May (Spring Bank Holiday Weekend) 2.30pm We are again organising a Pram Race, with a similar format to last year, just a fun afternoon for all, with bouncy castle, BBQ, face painting & other attractions. So get your teams together and get designing that “pram”. If it has wheels, will hold the adult dressed as a baby and is pushed by the “Mum” in fancy dress, then it counts as a pram!! Serious runners who really want to run with a real baby in a real pram are more than welcome, but will be competing against each other not the home made prams! We need your registration form in by Monday 20th May, forms are available from here or again The Stores. (thanks to Dave & Mary) Prizes for the winners of both races, for the best home made pram and of course for the best dressed team. The day will be completed with live music outside from “Georges Big Shed”, weather permitting, (if not indoors).

Tracey, Nick & John.

i.e. reduced calorie intake emphasising low-fat foods with

follow ups after at least 2 years showed that long term

weight loss was around 2kg. Adding in exercise to diet

restraints resulted in a loss of only 1 extra kg.

Restricting calorie intake slows our metabolism through

mechanisms that involve the nervous system, and levels of

thyroid hormones and leptin. Leptin is a hormone secreted

by fat cells; it stimulates the metabolism and also acts as a

satiety signal to the brain. However, as weight falls, so do

levels of Leptin.

The Kekwick Paper was the first study ever to demonstrate

the existence of metabolic advantage was conducted by two

British doctors, Alan Kekwick and Gaston Pawan, of the

University of London.

While the evidence regarding metabolic advantage is

mixed, the following is true:

When metabolic advantage has been demonstrated, it has

been in favour of diets higher in protein and fat and lower in

carbohydrate. They also counteract one of the major

reasons diets fail – hunger!

The positive studies have generally been much longer in

duration than the negative studies, and were more likely to

detect any metabolic advantage that exists.

More importantly, from a health perspective this diet has

the ability to improve indicators of disease including blood

pressure and blood fat levels.

But fats are bad and complex carbohydrates are good aren’t

they? We’ve been bombarded with information for a long

time that low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet is best. This is

based on the belief that eating saturated fat and cholesterol

is unhealthy and bad for our heart and circulation.

Columnist, editor, practising doctor and leading authority

on the impact of nutrition and other lifestyle factors on

health and illness, Dr John Briffa states “not only does this

belief have no scientific backing now, it never did. For the

last 30-odd years, our governments, health experts and

health agencies have encouraged us to take part in what

amounts to a mass experiment that seems to have done

nothing to improve our health or to save lives. Worse still,

this way of eating was vigorously promoted before we had

any idea about its safety.” This view is supported by many

other doctors and researchers and is the subject of a new

documentary on Cholesterol and Statins by Justin Smith.

Watch an excerpt at www.statinnation.net/home

We are all individuals and there is no ‘one size fits all’ in

what works for us and what is suitable for our individual

health and medical needs You should always consult with a

qualified medical practitioner before starting any weight-

loss programme, or if you have any concerns about your

health.

• it is in the middle of the village;

• it is out of keeping with the local area;

• it will obtrude for ever on the character of our

village.

Our Green Belt is under threat as never before: permission to

develop this site will set a most dangerous precedent and is

likely to prove the thin end of the wedge. Please don’t fall

into the trap of thinking that this is of no concern to you: it

could well, at some stage, result in similar pressure on a piece

of rural England close to your home.

Help us to fight this scheme by making your feelings known

to Cheshire West and Chester Council. Households directly

affected by the application have received notification. The

expiration date for comments is 11th April 2013. If you wish

to comment speed is of the essence.

Many Thanks Doreen, Elizabeth and Carole would like to thank all

relatives, friends and neighbours for the kind expressions of

sympathy, cards and flowers following the sudden death of

Stephen Lewis on 22nd February.

Thank you for the generous donations to the Hurst Methodist

Church.

To the Editor and Norley Residents,

OUR GREEN BELT IS UNDER THREAT! A planning application has been received by CW&C for the

construction of 14 houses on the field at the junction of

Maddocks Hill and School Bank, very close to the centre of

Norley. Of these, nine are described as affordable or shared

ownership homes.

Norley is categorised as “washed-over” Green Belt, and it has

always been the stated requirement that any development

should be in the form of small-scale infill that would create

minimal impact on the locality; or that it should be confined

to the village’s periphery and preferably take place on brown

field sites.

With planning permission approved for 6 affordable homes at

the haulage yard on High Street, your Parish Council voted to

defer any further consideration of affordable housing to the

Neighbourhood Plan which is now underway.

This planning application would seem to be an opportunistic

attempt by the developer, Partner, without any prior reference

to the needs of the Village or its community. The site was

only chosen because this is what the developer wanted, not

because it reflected any real, defined housing needs.

Ask yourself the question: Is a prominent, high density

development appropriate for Norley?

Please remember:

• it is a green field site;

• it is in the Green Belt;

Page 8: Norley News Apr 13

native trees – for instance, elm and ash – at the higher end of

the site.

There is a paucity of native wild flowers in the Norley area

generally; only the undisturbed linear strip along the south

bank of the Weaver Navigation, about two miles away, gives

you some idea of what the variety of local flora should be.

Wet-loving species such as Lady’s Smock, Ragged Robin and

Marsh Marigold would thrive in the damper areas, while

other types which should be common in the area, but are

largely missing because of modern agricultural practices,

could be seeded and grown higher up the slope, to the benefit

of bees and other pollinating insects.

Local beekeepers could be encouraged to have hives close to

the wildflower meadow, and the pond could be a venue for

properly supervised pond-dipping expeditions from local

schools; the site as a whole becoming an educational resource

so that children are encouraged to understand about nature

and about our need to live alongside and safeguard it rather

than plundering it.

The protected Great Crested Newt (Triturus cristatus ) is

present in numbers in the immediate locality, and indeed, we

have them in both our garden ponds, which are approximately

100 yards from the southern boundary of the site. The area is

also the home of Smooth Newts, Common Frogs and

Common Toads, and it is essential that

any further attempt to interfere with the site should be put on

hold until the animals have emerged from hibernation, so that

a proper assessment can be made.

Of course, there would first be the need to acquire the site,

and then its upkeep would have to be assured: for example,

the annual mowing of the wildflower area once seed has been

set, and the maintenance of the pond to ensure that it remains

a good habitat (i.e. doesn’t become choked with grasses).

There’s a lot to think about, but please give this idea your

returned these to the clerk.

132. Public Speakers

Chris Proudfoot addressed the meeting requesting that the

Parish Council Consider his request for an alternative use for

the field on School Bank stating “ I would like very much for

this site to be put to a different use altogether from the one

currently under consideration: namely, as a wildlife

conservation habitat. It is at present fallow land, and slopes

gently in a south-easterly direction towards the road. The

aspect is therefore favourable for the creation of a wildflower

meadow, with a pond at the lower end and, perhaps, some

Page 9: Norley News Apr 13

Norley News—April 2013 9

consideration. It could result in a beautiful amenity for the

community as a whole, as well as a resource of huge value for

the younger generation. We may have a chance to do

something of lasting value to the environment before our

country is completely wrecked by heedless and unnecessary

development”.

taking Assemblies, but also organising religious themed

days with Class 4.

The children presented Gill with a card and some gift

vouchers and acting head, Mrs H Kelly, stressed that

although everyone wished Gill good luck for the future, she

will be sadly missed.

Two Easter hymns were then sung to Gill along with a

rousing version of “Let’s Twist Again” to send her on her

way.

hosted by a different class. There was a wide variety of

cakes and biscuits on sale, ranging from Red Nose cakes

and Teddy cakes, to a delicious chocolate, Malteser cake.

On Friday morning the whole school were treated to a talent

small group of Reception and some year 2 children bravely

danced to the “Gangnam” song, while other children sang,

played instruments, danced and did impressions.

April’s recipe Dave from The Stores has given me a challenge to create a

recipe using nothing but ingredients available from The

Stores, Norley, and his star ingredient suggestion for this

month– raspberries!

Rather than suggest a healthy option I’ve created an ultra

indulgent dessert featuring sumptuous dark chocolate,

double cream, raspberry jam and raspberries. To be honest

my inspiration started with Delia, her cherry version is

amazing but I’m hoping you’ll all enjoy my raspberry

version.

This roulade-style cake is made with a flour-free sponge,

layered with chocolate ganache, double cream and fresh

raspberries.

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Roulade For the filling:

8 oz (225 g) Green and Blacks dark chocolate 2 large eggs, separated

2 punnets of fresh raspberries, a handful saved for decoration

8 fl oz (225 ml) double cream

For the base: 6 large eggs, separated 5 oz (150 g) caster sugar 2 oz (50 g) cocoa powder, sieved

For the topping: 3½ oz (100 g) Green and Blacks dark chocolate 2 tablespoons Mrs Darlington Raspberry jam sprinkling of cocoa powder

Equipment

A Swiss Roll tin, 8 ins by 12 ins (20cm by 30cm), greased

and lined with baking/greaseproof paper so it comes up

2.5cm above the edge

Method

1. Break the pieces of chocolate into a basin and add 3½ fl

oz (100ml) warm water. Place over a pan of barely

simmering water. Remove from heat, melt the chocolate

and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth.

2. Beat the 2 egg yolks separately and then into the chocolate

mixture. Cool mixture then whisk the egg whites to soft-

peaks, cut and fold them into the chocolate mixture. Cover

the bowl and leave in the fridge for a minimum of an hour.

3. To make the sponge: place the 6 egg yolks in a bowl and

whisk them with an electric hand whisk until they begin to

thicken. Add the caster sugar and whisk until a smooth

medium thick consistency.

4. Fold in the sifted cocoa powder. Using a spanking clean

bowl and carefully washed and dried beaters, whisk the

egg whites to the soft-peak stage. Then take 1 large

spoonful, fold it into the chocolate mixture first then fold

in the egg whites.

5. Now pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the

oven for about 20 minutes, until springy in the centre.

6. Remove it from the oven, it will sink down, then leave until

cold.

7. Turn out onto a sheet of greaseproof paper, which has been

lightly dusted with sieved cocoa powder. Peel away the

paper.

8. Remove the chocolate filling from the fridge using a small

palette knife, spread evenly all over the surface of the base.

9. Next whip the double cream softly, and spread this all over

the chocolate filling, leaving a border all round to allow

for it spreading, then lightly press the raspberries into the

cream.

10. Roll up the cake by lifting and rolling over, pulling the

paper away as it rolls. Don’t worry if it cracks!

11. Heat the raspberry jam into a small saucepan and then

brush it all over the surface. Sprinkle with cocoa powder

and spare raspberries. Serve immediately.
