It was here that fi nancial accounts were brought to be approved by the Justi ce of Peace and various warrants were signed for the apprehension of wrongdoers. In 1791, gruesome history was made when Catharine Griffi th, a former Parc servant, and her husband, Henry James, were hanged for breaking into Parc-y-Justi ce and stealing a quanti ty of silver. About seven years prior to this incident, Catharine, at times with her husband Henry or another accomplice, travelled around the country stealing small amounts of items. This conduct eventually led to their executi on. Catharine, at about 31 years of age, was the last woman to be publicly hanged in Wales. Creigiau during the Second World War In July 1942, during the Second World War, bombs fell on Pant-y-Gored Road.

    Provisional atlas of Waxcap fungi Hygrocybe in Cardiff Cardiff Council 2009 Strategic Planning and Environment PART 1 MAIN REPORT Summary Introduction Waxcap Ecology Cardiff Biological Database Waxcap Surveys in Cardiff S The Geography of Cardiff T Conservation of Waxcaps in Cardiff N - Threats - Management E - Conservation Designations in Cardiff T Results of surveys and discussion - Site Evaluation N - Indicator species - Waxcap Grassland Types in Cardiff O Recommendations C CONTENTS Acknowledgement References Appendix 1 – Distribution maps of Waxcap species in Cardiff Appendix 2 – Photographs of 14 species of Waxcap in Cardiff . 2 A provisional atlas of Waxcap fungi Hygrocybe in Cardiff SUMMARY Waxcaps are fungi belonging to the genus Hygrocybe. In Europe they are found in a variety of nutrient-poor grasslands which are either grazed or mown. In North America they occur in woodlands. There has been a dramatic loss of waxcap grasslands across Europe due to the intensifi cation of agriculture, especially in lowland areas. Western Britain, including Wales, now supports some of the best assemblages of waxcaps in Europe. Interest in the taxa has developed due to national waxcap survey initiatives and to national and Local Biodiversity Action Plans (LBAPs). This provisional atlas is an output of the Cardiff Waxcap Species Action Plan (SAP). The purpose of this atlas and report is to identify the distribution of waxcaps and waxcap grasslands in Cardiff , especially those worthy of conservation. Various surveys of waxcaps were conducted in Cardiff between 2002 and 2008. These resulted in over 1,000 records of 31 species of waxcaps from 52 sites. The data has been entered onto the Cardiff Biological Database.

  • Vitriol in the Taff: River Pollution, Industrial Waste, and the Politics of Control in Late Nineteenth-Century Rural Wales

This article uses evidence from South Wales to explore rural responses to industrial river pollution and to provide the micro-contextualisation essential for understanding how environmental nuisances were tackled around sites of pollution. Efforts to limit industrial effluent at both local and regional levels highlight strategies of control, the difficulties of intervention at the boundaries of authorities, and how rural authorities were not always peripheral to an urban metropole. This lack of passivity challenges the idea that river pollution interventions merely displaced rather than confronted the problem of pollution, providing insights into how rural authorities worked, and into how those living in rural communities turned to them to clean up their environment. Introduction By the 1860s, rivers in South Wales were the most industrially polluted in Britain. Although the ebb and flow of human excrement generated complaints, for rural sanitary authorities and rural communities in Glamorgan it was the problem of industrial waste in the region’s rivers that was the crucial concern.

GLAMPING PODS AND A FARM SHOP ___________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION : That planning permission be REFUSED for the following reasons: 1. The application site lies outside defined settlement boundaries, where it is intended that new development be strictly controlled, and the proposed development by virtue of its scale, design, location and proposed use is considered inappropriate in this location, as it is not required for agriculture or forestry or any other rural enterprise, contrary to Policies KP3 (B) and EN1 of the Cardiff Local Development Plan 2006 – 2026. 2. The proposal would prejudice the open nature of the land and would cause unacceptable harm to the Garth Hill and Pentyrch Ridges Special Landscape Area and countryside character of the area and would fail to fulfil any of the criteria for justification of development within a green wedge that are set out in paragraphs 3.69 to 3.74 of Planning Policy Wales contrary to Policies KP3 (A), EN1 and EN3 of the Cardiff Local Development Plan 2006 – 2026. 3. The proposal may give rise to unacceptable noise levels which may cause unacceptable harm to the amenity of adjacent occupiers, contrary to Policy KP5 and EN13 of the Cardiff Local Development Plan 2006-2026. 4. Insufficient information has been submitted to fully assess the impact of the proposal in terms of transport, ecology, trees and drainage issues, contrary to Policies T5, EN7, EN8 and EN10 and EN14 of the Cardiff Local Development Plan 2006-2026.
