I just want a fair honest chance for people to make a decision Very few people knew of this massive direction change in the project and the council think it is alright to ask approx. 80 -that were mailshot out of thousands that will be affected. I have seen lapwing , curlew, woodcock , barn owl, peregrine falcon , mistle thrush , grey partridge on the land and know the value it holds for vast amounts of wildlife. The place is full of grasshoppers and other pollinators - it brands itself as the gateway to the peak - and in some ways it is for wildlife though not people ! As a poster mentioned earlier it was an opencast site - I think they termed it landfill - so I have no idea how the building / lake thing will fit in with that geology ! This project is not suited to this site - there are many other areas where it would fit in better Please support my small stand and avoid another natural disaster !

Apologies - fat fingers S41 9ED

Yes but only we can change it ! The last 4 years I have really got stuck in - on my holding I now have barn owl Peregrine falcons Curlew People can change things !

Yes that's true it is an eyesore - if you are familiar with area you will realise the ecological value of the land at Peak - some of the most productive sites and indeed SSI s were landfill - they have never been treated with fertiliser or pesticides. Have you viewed the NEW plans - as I say I am not against the idea behind the area - BUT not in an area so biodiverse ! Chesterfield has numerous brownfield sites to which this would be ideally suited. The lake as I say is nothing like we were promised it is to be used for concerts etc not conservation - we have facilities for water sports at Rother Valley The traffic is already hideous at the new junction and roundabout. The advert in the DT was tiny - what is this to which you refer ? - Council propaganda that all will be well - or a genuine advert - please could you post or PM ? It is not too late as yes the main road funded by public money is in - for the OLD plan regards Hi -Reclaiming the land from what - Nature ? Fail to see your point Jobs - what a hundred or so - have it on one of the many brownfield sites in the town Regards jim S44 9ED Mr popper Unstone , Chesterfield Honestly thought of that - I have put in a Freedom of Information request to see the ecological report as to lose this area would be a tragedy

Yes they will - and so much the better - these local issues are the start of these problems we find ourselves in today If none locals can help to make a difference then simply WOW !

ChapsI / my parish/ my town and much of its wildlife really could do with your help.We don't need money or physical bodiesAll I need is for you chaps to spend 5 minutes reading this and then if you agree with me - objecting to a plan to create a new monstrosity in the countryside.Before I start - this is not a case of simply not on my door step as if the proposed project is allowed my land value will soar - but I really do believe enough is enough and we cant continue to keep ripping up such biodiverse habitat.I will beginFor the last 30 years or so a developer has been attempting to bring a kind of eco - dome to my area called Peak Resort- on 300 acres of reclaimed land. This dome was focused on ecology and would have links with universities and colleges.There would be a hotel for delegates and hobbit style chalets in the woods. The focus was very much on families , rest, relaxation and tranquillity. The jewel in the crown was to be a massive lake !The project stalled for many years but broke ground last year with commitment form an American Hotel firm - and a large 2.8 million pound grant from a local government development fund - public money.Then all things stopped and I am not sure why.Here comes the problem I want your help with,The developer has now submitted plans for David Lloyd Adrenaline World.This is a total 180 from the original plan approved and instead of the peace that was advertised initially we are going to get noise, pollution and traffic.Not only is the project totally inappropriate for the area - it is to contain zip wires/ e-karts and feature pop concerts it has all been done very under handed.The initial plan involved residents staying at the complex for up to a week at a time - but the new plan will see day or half day trippers with a huge increase in footfall , traffic, pollution and noise.The application was submitted and the deadline was before the parish council could have a meeting.This has now been changed.The project will affect thousands and thousands of people but the council mailshot approximately by their admission 100.The council website / facebook site contain news articles proclaiming how good the plan is but little or nothing of the fact that one can object.I am told an advert went in the local paper - it did it was tiny !I have reviewed the drawings and believe them to be misleading as the resort has shown a bridleway over part of my land despite the fact that they were involved with me in a county council review of it last year. This has led to friction with the local community and indeed criminal damage to my gates.My holding is adjacent to the proposed development and much of its is in the HLS (HIGHER LEVEL STEWARDSHIP) - this has seen a dramatic reversal in the fortunes of many red listed bird species and indeed I have had baRn owls and peregrine falcons on site this year.I have had no request to carry out an ecological report on my holding to see the effect it may have.The land that the project is on provides habitat for woodcock, curlew , lapwing , hares , grey partridge and simply cannot be lost to this disturbance and greed.The plans can be found onChesterfield Borough Councils websiteCHE/19/00456/REM1CHE/19/00394/REMChesterfield does not need more gyms we have lotsWe have a poolWe have cinemasWe have stadiumsWhat we are short of is wildlife- as highlighted by the recent declaration of a climate change emergency by the council - and habitat - we must protect what we have left !I have spoken to Parish Councillors/County councillors and planning officers i have even written to Mr Gove - and all that have replied have stated the same People can make change. They have advised i collate objections and then send on - so if you feel as me enough is enough please PM me and i will send you my email address and the contact who to address an objection to. I realise this may not have any bearing on many peoples lives on here but these big businesses must start realising that they are out of touch with local people/local communities/ the county / the country and the world !Oh and to top it all -that lake - the jewel in the crown - that's going to host watersports and concerts !Many thanksJim

Try Mustard Harder not to grow it than to actually grown it ! Wait till it rains and broadcast - comes up a treat !

Yes - its great ! I have had the opportunity to do it on a fairly large scale as I have clear felled approx. 40 acres. The large grass fields - monoculture - I had I have split up with hedges and cover strips - and put splashes in the corner of fields After 3 or 4 years things are starting to thrive but the real thinking and moto is every little helps ! All our shoots can keep the feeders topped up after the end of the season and beyond for little extra cost and provide a real boost to wild birds. Seize the day and be a doer not a watcher or a talker ! Trust me you will enjoy the results !

Hi Lloyd I have just done something similar on clear fell Plant native - best4hedging RSPB ultimate mix is coming great after 2/3 years - it flowers and fruits and provides cover I have made spinneys, shelter belts and a new wood. I have cleared areas on the clear fell and planted game crops - stuff that' flowers and seeds for insects and other birds - something like Kings Moir Mix Loads more wildlife about and its holding the birds like a magnet Corn costs have halved too Last thing - if you create a splash / wet area in the clear fell they will reward ten fold !
