2 Powys Local Development Plan Written Statement
Powys LDP 2011-2026: Deposit Draft with Focussed Changes and Further Focussed Changes plus Matters Arising Changes September 2017 2 Powys Local Development Plan 2011 – 2026 1/4/2011 to 31/3/2026 Written Statement Adopted April 2018 (Proposals & Inset Maps published separately) Adopted Powys Local Development Plan 2011-2026 This page left intentionally blank Cyngor Sir Powys County Council Adopted Powys Local Development Plan 2011-2026 Foreword I am pleased to introduce the Powys County Council Local Development Plan as adopted by the Council on 17th April 2017. I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning

(Liz) Fleming-Williams 2 April, 1951-10 January, 2019 a Tribute By
Elizabeth (Liz) Fleming-Williams 2 April, 1951-10 January, 2019 A Tribute by Ray WooDs This rare image of Liz (she was always behind a camera-rarely in front of it) was taken by Rory Francis of the Woodland Trust on the occasion when Liz had persuaded the Welsh pop group Brigyn to launch their second CD inside an ancient oak tree at Rhandirmwyn, Carmarthenshire to help publicise the plight of ancient trees. With the sad death of Liz Fleming-Williams Welsh mycology lost a great supporter. Her name will not be familiar to mycologists outside Wales but within Wales she gave encouragement and support to those of us beating what at times seemed a very lonely path on the road to the acceptance that fungi needed active conservation measure too. Her home in the middle of Wales was always open to mycologists in need of refreshment on the long journey from north to south or vice-versa and it provided a useful and free meeting venue to gather the scattered troops together. Her energies raised the money to safeguard the waxcap grasslands of Gilfach Farm, Radnorshire for future generations. She was captivated by the survival of a tiny fragment of hyper-oceanic lichen community on ancient hazels in a ravine near Maentwrog in Snowdonia and once the farm came on the market threw herself into helping raise the £1.3 million the Woodland Trust needed to buy it. Her images helped promote the site and the financial target was quickly reached. As a keen photographer she brought together her own images and those of others creating one of the first ever publicity leaflet to raise awareness of the plight and importance of grassland fungi.

'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given. I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.

8.0 Biodiversity in and Around Sennybridge & Defynnog
8.0 Biodiversity in and around Sennybridge & Defynnog 8.1 Overview 8.1.1 The River Usk is a dominant feature along the north-western boundary of Sennybridge and the Afon Senni flows from the south through Defynnog and into the Usk towards the middle of the town. There is almost continuous tree cover along the river corridors providing valuable cover and habitat for bats, birds and species such as otter. The disused railway corridor also provides a woodland corridor through the settlement. The surrounding land is predominantly pasture, much of it improved grassland, but there is a surprising amount of semi-improved grassland with a variety of flower and grass species present, for example the football field between Defynnog and Sennybridge. The ancient yew tree in Defynnog churchyard is also a valuable historical and biodiversity feature.
