East Midlands Regional Plan East Midlands Regional Plan February 2008 annual monitoring report 2006/07 FOREWORD This is the sixth Regional Plan Annual Monitoring Report produced by the East Midlands Regional Assembly as Regional Planning Body (RPB) and monitors policies contained within the Public Consultation Draft East Midlands Regional Plan which was published in September 2006. The Report builds on the partnership working established in the previous rounds of annual monitoring, with much of the technical work undertaken by Intelligence East Midlands, overseen by the Assembly’s Monitoring and Review Advisory Group and other Regional Plan Groups. In the context of the new planning system, with its focus on delivery of sustainable development and sustainable communities, monitoring takes on an added importance in providing a check on whether those aims are being achieved. An important aspect of these arrangements is the flexibility to update components of the Regional Plan to reflect changing circumstances.The ability to focus on specific sub regional policy areas and to be able to undertake partial reviews, as opposed to revising the entire Regional Plan, allows RPBs to respond quickly to changing priorities for development in their areas. Monitoring plays a critical part in any policy review.That is why part of the test of soundness of the Regional Plan is whether there are clear mechanisms for implementation and monitoring. The Regional Plan has a critical interface with national policy, other regional strategies and local plans and programmes. The Regional Assembly is increasingly coordinating its monitoring with the national, regional and local monitoring of related strategies, plans and programmes.This is helping to promote the exchange of information, achieve some degree of consistency between different planning and monitoring activities and reduce overall resource requirements. It is also assisting the Assembly in gaining a greater understanding of the changes taking place in the Region.The Assembly continues to work with local authorities, regional partners and Communities and Local Government on the development and collection of indicators and data and is playing its part in the drive to secure agreement on data specifications. I would like to acknowledge the support of the Region’s Planning Authorities and wide range of other data providers, not least our own Planning, Housing and Transport team here at Melton Mowbray, whose time and technical expertise have contributed to the successful production of this Report. I hope you find this Annual Monitoring Report both informative and interesting to read.

  • Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve Oyster Fungus on Birch, Birklands
    Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve Oyster fungus on birch, Birklands Introduction In the heart of Nottinghamshire lie the ancient forests of Birklands and Budby, an extensive area of old pasture-woodland and heathland on the dry nutrient-poor soils © Peter Wakely/Natural England © Peter Wakely/Natural of the Sherwood Sandstone. Together they represent a rare and wonderful fragment of the great forest of Sherwood, one of the most famous forests in the world. Today, over 420 hectares of this internationally important forest is now managed as a National Nature Reserve (NNR). © Peter Wakely/Natural England © Peter Wakely/Natural Ancient wood-pasture, Birklands “By itself it stands, and is like no other spot on which my eyes have looked, or my feet have ever England © Peter Wakely/Natural trod. It is Birkland...” (Charles Reece Pemberton, 1835). Woodland glade, Birklands History Birklands, which is an old Viking word meaning ‘birch land’, was first mentioned in documents in 1251 and is likely to be at least one thousand years old. It was part of the vast Royal Forest of Sherwood that once covered over 41,000 hectares of the county. The wood remained the property of the Crown for nearly 600 years and was used as a source of timber, grazing land and as an exclusive hunting ground rich with wild deer for successive kings and queens of England. Contrary to popular opinion, much of the historic Sherwood Forest was, in fact, tree-less, being dominated by wild open plains of heathland such as Budby South Forest. This uncultivated forest land was once grazed by wild deer, rabbits and livestock; and its trees, gorse and bracken were collected by local people for fuel and fodder.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

However, water was added to progress both boreholes intertidal zone to the northeast and the southwest of Anderby Creek. through the sand forming the beach. These locations were prospective landing sites for electricity cables from the Triton Knoll offshore wind farm. Owing to the site’s location, Structural Soils had to consider the ground conditions over which it would be transporting kit and drilling into. Services provided Consequently, a tractor and a large earthmoving machine towed the rig over the very soft sand on the dunes and the beach. The work included two cable percussive boreholes drilled to 10.5 m in sand and underlying clay. They were drilled at low tide in an intertidal area of the beach close to the high-water mark. Standard penetration tests were carried out at regular intervals on the granular materials in the boreholes, and 100-mm diameter undisturbed samples were recovered from the cohesive strata in the boreholes.

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Summary The Lincolnshire Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) established a policy of ‘hold the existing defence line’ for the Lincshore coastline. As part of the Lincshore Coastal Defences Strategy (covering Donna Nook to Skegness) we are proposing to implement the SMP. To deliver the strategy, beach nourishment material will continue to be placed annually along the coastline between Mablethorpe and Ingoldmells. A performance review of the beach nourishment project has been undertaken, in preference to a full strategy review, which supports the Lincshore project, enabling a 0.5% annual probability of flooding (1 in 200 year return period) standard of protection along the frontage over a period of 100 years.

    POVERTY, PROTEST AND SPORT: POACHING IN THE EAST MIDLANDS c.1820-c.1900 ROSEMARY MUGE, MA. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2017 Abstract In the East Midlands counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire levels of poaching equalled or exceeded those in many counties which are thought of as prime poaching areas. Using principally Criminal Registers, Game Laws Returns to Parliament, and local newspapers of the period, this study shows that people poached from three motives: because they were poor; because poaching was a sport; and as a protest. Day and night poachers, including night poaching gangs frequently involved in affrays, pursued their activities undeterred by the efforts at prevention of the landowners, police and courts. Poaching here was predominantly for ground game and declined in the last quarter of the century, but continued to be a source of anger and frustration for game preservers and the authorities to the end of the period. The poaching war in these counties, waged in an area with large aristocratic estates but where extreme game preservation was viewed critically, was not perceived as impacting on law and order in general. This was unlike Lancashire, where the activities of poachers were regarded as being a threat to the fabric of society. The causes of these differences between the East Midlands and Lancashire were rooted in police practice, attitudes to game preservation, and differences in gentry sport and hunting. (Total words in thesis: 90,313) Acknowledgements Having begun to study history twenty years ago and finally submitted this thesis in retirement, there are many people to whom I am beholden.
