  • North Cadbury Neighbourhood Plan Heritage Assessment on Behalf of North Cadbury and Yarlington Parish Council August 2020
    North Cadbury Neighbourhood Plan Heritage Assessment on behalf of North Cadbury and Yarlington Parish Council August 2020 kim sankey │ architect angel architecture │ design │ interiors Angel Architecture Ltd Registered in England at Unit 4, Herringston Barn, Herringston, Dorchester, Dorset DT2 9PU _____________________________________________________________________ North Cadbury Neighbourhood Plan Heritage Assessment August 2020 NORTH CADBURY Key Features The special interest of North Cadbury lies in its origins as a rural estate village (formerly Cadbury Estate) of mixed farmland demarked by ancient enclosed hedgerows with some C17 and C18 modification. On the edges are C19 historic orchards, bounded by mature hedgerows, and several farmsteads. The orchards are a particularly strong landscape feature in terms of social history and culture as they represented an intensively productive use of land, providing cider for the labouring classes while also allowing the grazing of sheep and poultry. There are many listed buildings but most prominent are the Church and Cadbury Court at the historic core around which development is concentrated. The southern edge of the Conservation Area is characterised by the parkland setting of the Court. Under the ownership of Sir Archibald & Lady Langman the estate introduced scientific methods of farming in the 1930’s. The Langman’s prosperity, as a result of this innovation, is evident in the provision of the new village hall opposite Glebe House on Woolston Road. Although most of the other farms have been converted to residential use, Manor Farm remains the manufacturing base for renowned Montgomery Cheddar and Ogleshield cheeses. The River Cam, which rises in Yarlington, runs along the western edge of North Cadbury and through Brookhampton.

  • Scoping Report and Project Plan
    North Cadbury and Yarlington Neighbourhood Plan Initial Scoping Report and Project Plan SCOPING REPORT – INITIAL FILE NOTE Prepared on behalf of North Cadbury and Yarlington Parish Council SEPTEMBER 2019 1. INTRODUCTION This report has been prepared by Jo Witherden BSc(Hons) DipTP DipUD MRTPI of Dorset Planning Consultant Ltd, for North Cadbury and Yarlington Parish Council. The Parish Council is the qualifying body authorised to act in preparing a neighbourhood development plan in relation to the North Cadbury and Yarlington Neighbourhood Plan area. The purpose of this report is to identify at an early stage what issues that relate to development are likely to be most important to the community, and are something that the Neighbourhood Plan can potentially influence. This will then guide the early stages of evidence gathering and consultation, and initial project plan, to ensure that the time and resources spent on preparing the Neighbourhood Plan are focused on achieving the desired outcomes. NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANS A Neighbourhood Plan, when made, becomes part of the development plan for the area, alongside the Local Plan. Together they set out the policies that are used to decide what types of building work or other development will generally be allowed, and what should be refused. They can also say what buildings or places should be protected, and why. Having a Neighbourhood Plan won’t change the area overnight. Its key influence is on decisions made by on planning applications. Landowners (or developers) will still need to make planning applications to the District Council, who will consult on these before making a decision to permit or refuse the proposed development.

  • So O T H Wgrs-T FISHERY SURVEY of the RIVER YEO CATCHMENT
    So o TH W G r S - T FISHERY SURVEY OF THE RIVER YEO CATCHMENT 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This survey of the catchment was undertaken between April 1993 and September 1993. The rivers surveyed were the Yeo, Wriggle, Sutton Bingham Streamsv Cam and Gallica. 1.2 The primary aim was to collect fisheries data on the Yeo catchment as part of a 'rolling1 survey programme for all catchments in the North Wessex Area of the National Rivers Authority. 1.3 It is the first time the catchment has been surveyed in its entirety, the last survey in the catchment being on the upper Yeo betveen Mudford and Sherborne in 1986. 2. TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY 2.1 The River Yeo, a major tributary of the River Parrett, has its source at Seven Sisters Veil, near Charlton Horethome. From here it falls 100m to its confluence vith the Parrett at Langport. Belov Ilchester much of the Yeo is artificially embanked, vith levels rising to 3m above adjacent fields. The catchment totals 398km2. 2.2 The River Cam rises near Jack Whites Gibbet, and has a catchment of 45 sq Km. The ground levels in the area vary betveen 17m and 183m OND at Yeovilton and Bratton Hill respectively. 2.3 The Wriggle rises at Batcombe Hill and flovs approximately north to the confluence vith the River Yeo at Bradford Abbas. It has a catchment of 54.2 km2. 2.4 The Gallica rises near Melbury Sampford and flovs in a northerly direction to its confluence vith the Sutton Bingham Stream approximately 5km away.

  • PDF (This Accepted Version May Not Correspond Exactly to the Published
    5 A sheep’s eye view Land division, livestock and people in later prehistoric Somerset, UK Clare Randall Fields and field systems in later prehistoric British archaeology have generally been discussed in relation to territory or land tenure. They are also frequently assumed to relate purely to arable agriculture. Alongside this, we also tend not to situate livestock animals within landscapes. Increasingly, morphological features of fields can be identified as having use in animal handling. Consequently field system morphology, and changes to layouts over time, enable their re-examination in relation to pastoral and arable husbandry (and the interplay between them), and consideration as to why differing approaches may have been adopted within the same landscape at different times. This provides models which, focussing on pastoral husbandry, are potentially applicable to a range of places and periods. The second and first millennium BC bounded landscapes surrounding the hillfort at Cadbury, Castle, Somerset, UK, reveal an intimate relationship between the occupiers of the hillfort, sites in its environs, livestock, and the landscape. A series of different forms of land division and organisation from the earlier Bronze Age onwards can be compared with both faunal and plant macro-fossil data from within that landscape. Different forms of layout appear to reflect different types of strategy and approach in later prehistoric farming. During the second and first millennium BC changes can be observed between different forms of highly extensive pastoral farming and closely integrated and intensive systems. The explanation would seem to be more social than practical in origin, but discerning this is reliant on large scale field survey, and integration of multiple strands of information.

  • South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review
    South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review The Potential for Rural Settlements to be Designated ‘Villages’ November 2018 Contents Page 1 Introduction 1 2 Context 1 3 Methodology 3 4 Settlement Appraisal 13 5 Conclusions 23 Appendix 1 - Complete list of Rural Settlements in the District subject to this Appraisal 24 Appendix 2 - Settlement Maps; Constraints and Community Service Locations 25 Appendix 3 – Location Map of Settlements 58 1. Introduction 1.1 This paper considers the suitability of the District’s many Rural Settlements for growth. The current Local Plan does not allocate housing and employment to specific villages, seeking to direct most development to Yeovil, the Market Towns and Rural Centres. However, new housing has been delivered in the Rural Settlements far in excess of what the Local Plan anticipated; and similarly, new commercial buildings have, in the main, been provided away from the established employment locations and sites allocated for that purpose. Rather than continue with this somewhat arbitrary situation, the Review of the Local Plan offers the opportunity to look again at the various smaller settlements around the District to ascertain which might offer the best and most sustainable locations for limited growth and possible designation as ‘Villages’. 1.2 The Review of the Local Plan has also resulted in the potential removal of the role of ‘Rural Centre’ from Stoke sub Hamdon. This is because the settlement has many constraints and the number of commercial outlets in the centre is relatively restricted. It could instead be designated a ‘Village’ in recognition of its size and numbers of other facilities relative to the remaining Rural Settlements.

  • Foreword to the Draft Queen Camel Neighbourhood Plan 2019-2030
    Foreword to the Draft Queen Camel Neighbourhood Plan 2019-2030 I have pleasure in commending this Neighbourhood Plan covering the development of the village in the period to 2030. The Plan, when adopted, will form part of a hierarchy of plans at local levels within the National Planning Policy Framework. The NPPF provides a strict framework for developing plans, particularly on housing, which we have carefully observed. Taking this Plan through its remaining stages so that it can be a final approved Neighbourhood Plan to support all that we want is a very significant step for the village. The remaining steps are as follows; • Submission of the plan to South Somerset District Council (SSDC) for examination • Final revision of the plan before submission to the parish for approval by referendum • When approved by referendum, the Neighbourhood Plan is formally adopted. The background to the process to develop the plan is set out in the detailed sections which follow. I would emphasise that a very detailed analysis of the wishes of the village, covering in particular the housing needs and the availability of land for development, has been made by the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group of the Parish Council (NPSG) along with the Parish Council itself and its advisor from Dorset Planning Consultant Limited and South Somerset District Council. Therefore do read the policies and the background to them thoroughly as a lot of careful analysis of what could be appropriate for the village is described in this document. The Parish Council have carefully considered the range of comments that were made on the draft plan and made some changes as a result.

  • Somerset Flood Risk Management Common Works Programme 2015/16
    SOMERSET FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT COMMON WORKS PROGRAMME 2015/16 A) Background Following its establishment on 31st January 2015, the Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA) is committed to preparing a Common Works Programme (CWP), which will be updated annually. The CWP encompass all Flood Risk Management Authorities (FRMAs) in Somerset, and covers all inland flood risk management improvement schemes and maintenance works. It sets out information on schemes being undertaken using funding available to FRMAs through their conventional spending programmes, but also includes schemes and works being delivered using additional funding made available to the SRA. It includes: All capital schemes however funded; The established maintenance programmes of the Environment Agency, and Internal Drainage Boards; the Enhanced Maintenance Programme - for details, see: www.somersetriversauthority.org.uk/about-us/board-and- partners/board-meetings-and-papers/?entryid108=97700 Relevant programmes of Somerset County Council (SCC) as Lead Local Flood Authority and Highways Authority; District Council and Water Company schemes. B) Purpose 1. To share information with local communities and businesses about the schemes and works being undertaken; 2. To provide a basis for co-ordinating the planning and implementation of schemes, including developing efficiencies for joint delivery, and reporting on progress. C) Change The CWP will be updated to take account of issues that emerge during the course of the year, and may be subject to change, reflecting the ability to respond to needs and opportunities, and the availability of funding, as they arise. D) Prioritisation The CWP seeks to focus resources in areas where there is the greatest need, and where investment will bring the greatest benefits.

  • 1.8.5 FLOOD RISK A. During This Century There Have Been Three
    From: To: A303 Sparkford to Ilchester Subject: Response from M Lewis Ex Q1 20/12/18 Date: 23 January 2019 11:47:15 1.8.5 FLOOD RISK a. During this century there have been three major floods affecting largely properties largely in Queen Camel and West Camel impacting also on properties further downstream along the River Cam. In West Camel’s case it is the volume of water not only travelling down from Sparkford but the additional water above West Camel from the A 303. This occurs not only when the ground is sodden with days of continuous rain, but also when the ground is baked hard from the sun and there is a thunderstorm and the volume of water overflows the inadequate systems in place. Countess Gytha Primary School has been moved away from the River Cam at Queen Camel owing to it being severely flooded 3 times during the last 30 years. The parish council in West Camel have undertaken a community flood mitigation scheme to try to overcome rainwater travelling at speed downhill from the A303. The A303 is constantly flooded during storms betwixt Wayne’s Bistro and the Podimore slip road largely because the fields both north and south of the A303 are also flooded and the water cannot escape where the ditches have not been adequately maintained and the shear volume of water has increased in recent years. The flood water is added to as the water in the River Cam comes from Blackford and travels under the A303 on the outskirts of Sparkford and is restricted by the bridge on the Old London Road.
