Background Members will recall discussing an issue at the Planning meeting of 30 July about access for emergency vehicles to 10, The Green where there are elderly and vulnerable residents living in affordable housing. This had been brought to the Council’s attention by Merrimans, solicitors and Cllr Stewart Dobson. The specific concern raised was that emergency vehicles cannot not access the area because of cars parked along the side and could not use the edge of The Green because of Sarsen stones laid there. Elsewhere at the site, there have been posts and chains put in place by the Town Council to protect and preserve The Green. It is not clear when the Sarsen stones were added (certainly not in the last 5-8 years). Other points to note are: It is believed that there is electric cabling along that edge of The Green There are double yellow lines along that stretch of road The road itself is the responsibility of Highways and The Green (registered as a Village Green) is the responsibility of the Town Council.

  • Open Downland

    Open Downland

    8. LANDSCAPE TYPE 1: OPEN DOWNLAND Location and Boundaries 8.1. The landscape type encompasses a number of distinct downland blocks from the Marlborough Downs (1A) and Horton Down (1C) in the west running through to the Lambourn Downs (1B) and Blewbury Downs (1D) in the east. Boundaries are mainly defined by topography and the Upper Chalk geology, and in the north relate to the top of the Scarp (landscape type 5). To the south, the edge of the chalk similarly forms a distinct boundary. Overview The Open Downlands are the remote heart and core of the North Wessex Downs, with the dramatic landscapes created by the underlying chalk rocks being one of the defining features of the AONB. The subtle curves and undulations of the landform are revealed by the uniform clothing of cropped grass or cereals creating a landscape with a simple and elemental quality, accentuated by vast skies. The open, expansive views are punctuated by distinctive beech clumps crowning the downland summits, forming prominent and highly visible landmarks. Sparsely populated, the downlands possess a strong sense remoteness and isolation. Predominantly in arable cultivation these are landscapes of great seasonal variation, with muted browns and greys of the chalk and flinty soils in the ploughed autumn fields, giving way to fresh greens of the emerging crops in winter and spring and sweeping yellows and golds of summer. The characteristic close-cropped springy downland turf of the surviving herb-rich chalk grassland provides an important habitat and this landscape type contains the largest areas of designated chalk grassland in the AONB, with 15 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

REVISION PURPOSE PREPARED CHECKED REVIEWED BY BY BY ENVIRONMENT AGENCY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document is Volume One of a two volume Final Report on the Kennet and Coin River Levels Study and considers the Upper Kennet catchment above Knighton gauging station. The Study was commissioned largely as a result of public concern that the character of the river had changed over the last 30 years. The fundamental concern was with reduced river levels and the general view was that reductions were caused, in great part, by groundwater abstraction for public supply outside the Kennet catchment. The Study was divided into two stages and an Interim Report on the Stage One Study was issued in December 1991. This Report updates the findings of the Stage One Study and presents the findings for both Stage One and Stage Two. Stage One of the Study considered how the four main measures of the character of the catchment viz: ° Groundwater levels ° Surface flow, water level and the upper limit of flow ° Water quality ° Flora and fauna have changed with time.

The only known heritage assets on or in the immediate vicinity of the site are the listed Manor Farm house and structures within its curtilage pre-dating 1948. The development is unlikely to affect adversely the settings of several other nearby listed buildings. Given the intensity of prehistoric and Saxon activity in the wider area there is a possibility that archaeological remains of some period might be present which may have survived the construction of the modern farm.

    March 2015 Directors Sent out Warnings to the General Public Reminding People Not to Look Directly Into the Sun

    View from the Rectory A few years ago, as a solar eclipse approached, planetarium March 2015 directors sent out warnings to the general public reminding people not to look directly into the sun. The planetarium received an indignant letter from a local resident. She said that if an eclipse was so dangerous, they never should have decided to hold one and ought to cancel it. On March 20 th we have an opportunity to witness a solar eclipse in the Kennet Valley and no doubt there will be some like this lady who will respond to the inevitable influx of people with disapproval – hopefully NOT writing letters to the National Trust asking them to cancel the event. It will be a decade before we witness another one and taken as I am by all naturally occurring phenomena, this will be something I will greet with excitement. I remember where we were the last time – on Dartmoor, sitting with a couple of thousand others, picnic, coffee flask, Husband and Dog in tow. The cars lined the route across the moor, parked nose to tail between Bovey Tracey and Widcombe -in -the -Moor. A hundred or more climbed the Tors behind us and the air was full of excitement, tinged with apprehension - for even 20 th Century beings are not unaffected by extraordinary displays in creation, no matter how much we protest its ‘old hat’.
