  • Preliminary Outline Assessment of the Impact of A303 Improvements On
    Preliminary Outline Assessment of the impact of A303 improvements on the Outstanding Universal Value of the Stonehenge Avebury and Associated Sites World Heritage property Nicola Snashall BA MA PhD MIfA National Trust Christopher Young BA MA DPhil FSA Christopher Young Heritage Consultancy August 2014 ©English Heritage and The National Trust Preliminary Outline Impact Assessment of A303 improvements on the Outstanding Universal Value of the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage property August 2014 Executive Summary The Government have asked the Highways Agency to prepare feasibility studies for the improvement of six strategic highways in the UK. One of these is the A303 including the single carriageway passing Stonehenge. This study has been commissioned by English Heritage and the National Trust to make an outline preliminary assessment of the potential impact of such road improvements on the Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage property. A full impact assessment, compliant with the ICOMOS guidance and with EU and UK regulations for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) would be a much larger task than this preliminary assessment. It would be prepared by the promoter of a road scheme and would require more supporting material and more detailed analysis of impacts. The present study is an outline preliminary assessment intended to inform the advice provided by the National Trust and English Heritage to the Highways Agency and the Department for Transport. It deals only with impact on Outstanding Universal Value and does not examine impacts on nationally or locally significant heritage. The objectives of the study can be summarised as: 1. Review changes in international and national policy and in our understanding of the Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage property to set the context for the assessment of impact of potential options for improvement of the A303; 2.

  • Stonehenge A303 Improvement: Outline Assessment of the Impacts
    Stonehenge A303 improvement: outline assessment of the impacts on the Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage property of potential route options presented by Highways England for January 2017 Nicola Snashall BA MA PhD MCIfA National Trust Christopher Young BA MA DPhil FSA Christopher Young Heritage Consultancy January 2017 ©Historic England and the National Trust Stonehenge A303 improvements: outline assessment of the impacts on the Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage property of potential route options presented by Highways England for January 2017 Executive Summary Introduction In 2014, English Heritage (now Historic England) and the National Trust commissioned an assessment (Snashall, Young 2014) on the potential impact of new road options, including a tunnel, for the A303 within the Stonehenge component of the Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites World Heritage property. Since at that time, there were no detailed proposals, that report considered four possible alternatives and concluded that, of these, an off-line route with a tunnel of 2.9kms length would be the most deliverable solution. The government remains committed to improving the A303 and to funding sufficient for a tunnel of at least 2.9kms length within the World Heritage property. Highways England are consulting in early 2017 on route options developed since 2014 for this road scheme through the World Heritage property and bypassing Winterbourne Stoke village to the west. This report is an outline assessment of these initial options on the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of the World Heritage property. It has been commissioned to assess the impact of the latest road options in the light of updated archaeological information.

  • Uncovering Exmoor's Prehistoric Past
    PANEL Uncovering Exmoor’s Prehistoric Past Figure A Withypool stone circle (right of centre) in an island of survival amongst areas of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation on Withypool Hill. The circle was discovered in 1898 and is approximately 118 feet in diameter. Originally consisting of around 100 stones, the 37 that survive are most clearly visible against the blackened earth following ‘swaling’ or burning of the moorland heather. The landscape of southern Exmoor contains a wealth of prehistoric remains, surviving best within the former Royal Forest and around its margins. Here, the land has hardly been cultivated since the Bronze Age – except where 9th-century reclamation and improvement have taken place – and we are able to discern the complex remains of early prehistoric communities. South of the Royal Forest, the commons were ploughed in the medieval period and still contain vast tracts of ridge and furrow, which has obliterated all but the most enduring prehistoric features or chance survivals between these later areas of cultivation. Further away still the network of farms and fields, which has its origins in the early medieval period, has almost entirely effaced the prehistoric pattern. Only the most obdurate burial mounds have not been levelled. However, traces of the earlier landscapes from time to time do emerge, and will continue to do so as archaeological techniques improve. Taken together the landscape of southern Figure B Collecting peat cores from a valley mire system Exmoor conveys a story of continual settlement on Molland Common. expansion and contraction around the moors as Halscombe Allotment the remains of an ancient oak climatic, economic and social circumstances permitted.

  • North Somerset and Mendip Bats Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Guidance on Development: Supplementary Planning Document
    North Somerset and Mendip Bats Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Guidance on Development: Supplementary Planning Document Adopted January 2018 (Photo: Frank Greenaway. Courtesy Vincent Wildlife Trust) 1 This supplementary planning document (SPD) was adopted by North Somerset Council on 9 January 2018. The SPD contains guidance on development regarding impacts on the North Somerset and Mendip Bats Special Area of Conservation (SAC), one of four European sites (sites of international importance for wildlife) in North Somerset. It was designated because of its importance for Greater and Lesser Horseshoe Bats. The guidance was jointly produced by the Council, Natural England and Somerset local authorities. In May 2017 the guidance, (just titled “North Somerset and Mendip Bats Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Guidance on Development”), was approved by Natural England in May 2017. The guidance, bearing the logos of Natural England, Somerset County Council, North Somerset Council, Sedgemoor District Council and Mendip District Council, was published on Somerset County Council’s website. Subsequent to that, North Somerset Council felt it would be beneficial for the guidance to be converted into a formal supplementary planning document (SPD) for North Somerset. The National Planning Policy Framework (glossary) indicates that “supplementary planning documents add further detail to the policies in the Local Plan. They can be used to provide further guidance for development on specific sites, or on particular issues, such as design. Supplementary planning documents are capable of being a material consideration in planning decisions but are not part of the development plan”. Therefore, as part of the process towards becoming an SPD for North Somerset, public consultation on a Draft SPD document, incorporating the guidance, was undertaken between 20 October and 2 December 2017.
