On 23 December 2015, Bolsover District Council granted

boundaries. The site spans an area of 140 acres.
Remediation Commitment
Site Background
In 1936, The Low Temperature Carbonisation
Company (later The Coalite Chemical Company)
established a manufacturing plant on land at
Buttermilk Lane, Bolsover, Derbyshire to manufacture
Coalite, a brand of low-temperature coke used as a
Bolsover Land Ltd has provided both councils with a firm
commitment that no development of the residential
element of the planning application will commence until
the site (in both Bolsover and North East Derbyshire) has
been fully remediated.
smokeless fuel. The manufacturing plant at Bolsover
produced other byproducts including fuel for the RAF.
Quality Design And Layout
The site closed in 2004 and is heavily contaminated
with chlorinated phenols and other noxious
compounds. It will cost millions £’s to clean up
the site.
The application has been subject to an OPUN Design
Review in October 2015. The feedback from this Review
and subsequent discussions with officers has resulted in
the remodelling of the site, to ensure high design
aspirations are met. As a part of this process, a 1.8ha
school site has now been included within the layout,
which has resulted in a reduction in the number of
residential units, from 795 to 660.
Viability
Discussions between the Developer and councils on the
viability of the scheme are still ongoing. It is anticipated
that this will be resolved within the next few weeks.
The Challenge
Extent of Contamination
There is a legacy of contamination on the site due to its
former use.
The northern site area contains a number of large storage
tanks, the majority of which have been cut open and
these contained a range of hydrocarbon wastes that
include coal oil, crude tyre oil, tar acid and phenolic
wastes.
There is significant contamination of the soils and
groundwater system at the site that represents a significant
risk to human health and the aquatic environment. The site
soils are contaminated with a range of complex
hydrocarbons that include chlorinated phenols and
phenolic compounds, fuels and oils, coal tars and pitch.
Some of the phenolic compounds emit strong vapours
and odours that can be detected at some distance from
the site.
There is potential risk of contamination migrating into the
River Doe Lea where it flows through the site and this could
have a detrimental effect on aquatic life within the river.
Remediation Methodology
The extent and risks associated with the soil and
groundwater contaminants at the site has been assessed
through a comprehensive sequence of ground
investigation and risk assessments. The results of a trial
remediation program at the site indicate that a
remediation treatment train based upon the following
procedures will be necessary:
• Selected excavation of known areas of contamination;
• Sorting of materials into physical and chemical groups;
• Classification of those materials and stockpiling
for processing;
• Selected treatment of organic contaminants of
concern within soils
• Selected treatment of inorganic contaminants using
soil washing
• Limited off-site disposal of persistent contaminants
unable to be economically treated on-site by the
above processes
The Developer will work closely with the local authorities
and other agencies to ensure the remediation is carried
out under strict environmental controls to limit the escape
or generation of odours and vapours, and to minimise the
potential effects of the works on the water environment
and human health.
Development
Considerations
Ecology
In spite of its past use and contamination, in some areas
the site supports a range of protected species including
grass snake, water vole, bats as well as a range of
interesting plants, invertebrates and mammals.
The proposed development offers an excellent opportunity
to secure a better future for these groups on the site as well
as enhancing the site's role as part of the wider area's
network of developing habitat.
Landscape and Visuals
The landscape design aims to create safe, secure and
welcoming residential and business environments whilst
integrating the development within the existing landscape
fabric, transport infrastructure and the surrounding built
form whilst protecting and enhancing views from the
historic Bolsover Castle.
Transport
The Developer has been working closely with the local
highways authority and Highways Agency to assess any
material impact of traffic related to the development
upon the highway network, including the M1,and to
specify, design and agree any required improvement
works.
Flood Risk
The Developer will also be undertaking flood alleviation
assessment and significant new drainage works to ensure
that the development has suitable and considered
drainage outfalls and that any effect upon the hydrology
of the area is fully considered to ensure the development
does not cause any material impacts.
The Residential Masterplan
Phasing Plans
Phase 1
Years 1-2
• Decontamination and remediation of
site and construction of the primary
road and service infrastructure.
• Flood risk alleviation works

ecological habitats and sustainable
drainage solutions.
Phase 2
Years 3-4
• Remediation of the commercial sites
on a plot by plot basis.
• Design and development of individual
B1/B2 & B8 industrial facilities on a
demand led basis.
Phase 3
Years 5-6
• Establishment of primary highway,
footway and cycleway infrastructure
together with landscape corridor on
Chesterfield Road.
• Residential plots to be developed
sequentially in sub plot phases from
the new access.
Phase 4
Years 5-7
