  • Forest of Dean Plan Hwc , Item 9
    1. Overview of the Forest of Dean The modelled demand for future developments of housing with care in the Forest of Dean has highlighted an additional requirement as detailed in Table 1. Table 1: Modelled demand for housing with care Housing with care model Extra care Extra care affordable rent by 2041 Supported living by 2035 shared ownership/outright sales by 2041 Additional units required 182 0 20 Future developments of housing with care in the Forest of Dean need to consider the specific challenges and opportunities that delivering housing with care in the Forest of Dean presents: The Forest of Dean has a population of roughly 85,9571 spread over an area of 226 square miles.2 The district takes its name from the Forest of Dean itself, which forms a large part of the district and is the largest landscape feature. As well as the forest, the main geographical influences are the Severn Estuary and the Wye Valley, all of which are natural boundaries but also barriers to development. The district is adjacent to Wales and the West Midlands. Although some parts are closest to Gloucester, other parts are closer to Bristol, Newport and Hereford. The Forest of Dean is made up of 27 wards.3 Appendix 1 provides a breakdown of ONS population data; current levels of domiciliary care funded by Gloucestershire County Council (GCC); residential/nursing care; extra care and supported living at ward level. The Forest of Dean Core Strategy (FoDCS) indicates that the majority of growth within the district is likely to be planned in and around Bristol, Newport and Cardiff.4 The regeneration of the four major towns; Cinderford, Coleford, Lydney and Newent, is central to the FoDCS.

  • Forest of Dean & Wye Valley Self Catering Holidays
    FOREST OF DEAN & WYE VALLEY SELF CATERING HOLIDAYS Stank Farm, known to some locals as 'the stank', is situated in the picturesque village of Clearwell within walking distance of Clearwell Castle and Caves & Puzzle Wood. 'The stank' you will be relieved to hear is a very old word for pond or body of water and has nothing to do with the word stink! Ask the owners about the farm's history. The village also boasts 2 pubs, restaurants, cafe and a recreational ground. Nearby is Perrygrove steam railway and The Iron Age Experience. The old market town of Coleford only 2 miles away is a thriving community where all provisions can be bought 7 days a week. The Grade II listed farmhouse we believe dates back to 16th Century. The Lodge is a wooden log cabin that is set away from the house and sleeps 4/6 people. All of the self-catered accommodation has private access and outside space and all guests are welcome to enjoy the land and help on the farm if they would like to. The farm house and outbuildings are set within 17 acres with a stream running through and depending on the time of year there are sheep, cattle, pigs & chickens.

At its heart is the Heritage at Risk Register, an online database containing details of each site known to be at risk. It is analysed and updated annually and this leaflet summarises the results. Heritage at Risk teams are now in each of our nine local offices, delivering national expertise locally. The good news is that we are on target to save 25% (1,137) of the sites that were on the Register in 2010 by 2015. From St Barnabus Church in Birmingham to the Guillotine Lock on the Stratford Canal, this success is down to good partnerships with owners, developers, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), Natural England, councils and local groups.

  • Worcestershire Has Fluctuated in Size Over the Centuries
    HUMAN GENETICS IN WORCESTERSHIRE AND THE SHAKESPEARE COUNTRY I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Abet ystwyth Received7.x.66 1.INTRODUCTION THEwestern limits of Worcestershire lie about thirty miles to the east of Offa's Dyke—the traditional boundary between England and Wales —yet Evesham in the south-eastern part of the county is described by its abbot in a petition to Thomas Cromwell in as situated within the Principality of Wales. The Star Chamber Proceedings (No. 4) in the reign of Henry VII refer to the bridge of stone at Worcester by which the king's subjects crossed from England into Wales and the demonstrations against the Act of 1430 regulating navigation along the Severn were supported by large numbers of Welshmen living on the right bank of the river in Worcestershire. The object of the investigation is to ascertain whether significant genetic differences exist in the population of Worcestershire and south-western Warwickshire and, in particular, whether the people living west of the Severn are more akin to the Welsh than to the English. The possibility of determining, on genetic grounds, whether the Anglo- Saxon penetration was strongest from the south up the rivers Severn and Avon, or across the watershed from the Trent in the north, or from the east through Oxfordshire and Warwickshire is also explored. 2. THECOUNTY Worcestershirehas fluctuated in size over the centuries and Stratford-on-Avon came for a period under its jurisdiction while Shipston-on-Stour, now a Warwickshire township, remained in one of the detached portions of Worcestershire until the turn of the present century.
