Case-Studies-VU-CS-KIMM-01-W.Pdf VU-CS-KIMM-01 CASE STUDIES SIP Kimmeridge out of the Stone Age with Superfast Broadband Kimmeridge, a small rural village on the Jurassic coast of Dorset was a tourist attraction for its ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, World Heritage site and Special Scientific Interest sites but certainly not renowned for its communications infrastructure. Due to lack of infrastructure investment in the area, there was only unreliable, sub 200k internet connectivity and dismal mobile phone signal. The Challenge Kimmeridge was soon to be home to a new museum thanks to lottery funding, it was going to be hosting one of the largest collections of fossils in the area, The Etches Collection. The museum wanted to have an online presence, but with residents, schools and businesses only being able to achieve 200kbps broadband, the likelihood of an influential online presence for the museum was slim. The picturesque village was too small to justify the attention of a larger commercial investment and so the area was counting on an independent company willing and capable of tackling the challenge themselves. Voip Unlimited were approached, renowned for completing similar projects only their network and reputation for innovative installs could handle. “You couldn’t do any serious work on your computer and it was a major cause of concern to the village. This is an isolated area; people do rely on communications of some sort.” “ Sir Michael Hobbs, Kimmeridge resident: “ “We love living here but it has been difficult at times from a communications point of view. It wasn’t that it was slow, it wasn’t there at all on some days.” Helen & Stephen Earwicker, Kimmeridge residents: Solution Voip Unlimited engineers completed a site survey which presented a host of problems. Most of the issues were geographic, but our engineers created an innovative wireless network design by utilising Portland Harbour which had a direct line of sight to one of the highest points in Kimmeridge. We quickly devised a plan to run 2km of fibre across Portland, connecting this to a licensed microwave link which spans the bay to a newly installed mast. By over engineering the project and adding two antennas on the mast we created a dual resiliency for the connection, so that the services were 100% reliable once live. VU-CS-KIMM-01 CASE STUDIES SIP Deployment During the deployment of the solution, we firstly had to adhere to a few legislative hurdles with the land being protected; visual impact statements were mandatory and an Archaeologist was hired to oversee any excavation. There was a small period of time where a road closure & temporary power downtime was necessary in order for our third party to install electricity supply and due to the winter weather and steep hill location, the fibre installation digger was supported by a bulldozer for stability. Securing the new mast with concrete was also another challenge, as the mixing process had to be done at the top of the hill due to its gradient and mixed in one go, so our teams needed to ensure absolute accuracy as this could only be done once! One of the areas with a repeater requirement was also within a protected SSI (Special Scientific Interest) zone meaning no changes to the ground structure could be made obstructing the best place for installation. Our creative installation engineers didn’t let this put them off, realising they could recycle existing holes from redundant service poles, replace with a new, taller pole and install the dish to receive a reliable signal. To add to the list of challenges for Voip Unlimited to solve, whilst the engineers and project manager were deploying the solution, we were hit with hurricane Imogen and many of the workers had to take solace in covered areas on the steep installation site. Due to the lack of mobile phone coverage the crew on site could also only communicate with two way radios. With all challenges overcome, the team established the link and started sending superfast broadband connectivity services over the huge 25km 1Gb redundant link. East Creech Church Knowle Corfe Castle Results Steeple After battling through several hurdles on our way, Voip continued to success and now the village benefits from 1Gb of connectivity with Kimmeridge easily accessible installs supplemented by Dorset County Council to Kingston make the opportunity even more cost effective. Apart from the Museum which is in its final stages of construction, the customers on the connection are mostly residential, each getting Worth Matravers 50Mbps, a vast improvement on the barely 200Kpbs broadband previously available. “The difference was immediate, it was startling. Without it, the village is dead really.” Sir Michael Hobbs, Kimmeridge resident: “ “Voip came up with a solution which was not too obtrusive, interestingly when they put the “ mast up, several people didn’t realise for quite a long time it was there. The expectation now is that you will have high speed broadband, it’s good to have some imaginative solutions that will do that. It’s the 21st century, we ought to be covering everybody.” Helen & Stephen Earwicker, Kimmeridge residents: 100% uptime & Continual Interest The customer demand has exceeded our expectation and those on the link are extremely happy with the speed and reliability. For residents who currently have a traditional broadband service offering less than 2Mbps, there is a voucher available, funded by the government to cover up to 70% of the installation costs to upgrade to Voip’s superfast broadband. With the area known for its natural beauty, Voip Unlimited also offered a camouflaging service for the dishes installed on the residential property chimneys, a lot of which were thatched roofed. As a telecoms provider, Voip Unlimited have also had many enquiries into reliable phone systems, as previously with broadband, this is a major cause of concern for the villagers. With large connectivity now in the area, many of the residents have the option to benefit from Voip telephony to offer reliable phone calls in an area of poor mobile signal, the added service also creates a cost saving benefit by removing traditional copper PSTN line rental charges.

  • Purbeck Quarries. OUGS Wessex. March14 2015 Safety
    Purbeck Quarries. OUGS Wessex. March14 2015 Safety. Hard hats are required if you go underground in the quarries and perhaps in the Square & Compass pub – low ceilings and beams! At Winspit the quarry edge is unprotected and there is an immediate vertical drop of about 40 feet to the sea. Similarly if you use the Coast Path to overlook the quarry there is a drop to the quarry floor. Keep away from edges. The quarry faces are stable. Morning Landers Quarry. Trev Haysom, Owner Trev will show us around a modern working Purbeck quarry. There will be opportunity to see how the stone is quarried and worked. Landers Quarry is notable as a source of Purbeck Marble. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Afternoon WORTH MATRAVERS AND WINSPIT. Bob Alderman. OUGS Wessex Worth Matravers, along with Langton Matravers is at the centre of the Purbeck stone industry. At Worth the only active quarry is St Aldhelms Quarry (SY 965 762), behind the Aldhelm’s Head. There are several working quarries between Worth and Langton Matravers. About Worth Matravers. The village of Worth Matravers is notable as an essay in Purbeck stone buildings. The nature of the stone means that if readily forms blocks and in some beds it splits to form thin roofing tiles. Only rarely does it provide beds that allow significant carving. You will note there are few mullion windows. There is a 16th century house in Corfe Castle with Purbeck stone mullions but it is a rare example. Most of the stone, exported from Swanage, was in the form of paving slabs. The rise of the Purbeck Stone industry probably dates from the 12th century when the then Bishop of Winchester used it for his Palace.

K Parishioners & Members of the public: Cllr Mr Derek Burt Mr Lawrence Tamplin Cllr Mrs Kathryn Best Mr Tom Percy Cllr Mr Colin Page Ms Sandra White Cllr Mrs Hazel Parker - Vice-chairman Cllr Mr Anthony Higgens - Chairman Cllr Mrs Elizabeth Edwards Cllr Mr Leslie Bugler Cllr Mrs Jayne Wilson Parish Clerk: Dr A W Wallace APOLOGIES 461.15 Apologies for absence had been received by the Clerk Dr Alastair Wallace from Cllr Ian Hollard and DCC Cllr Mr M Lovell. PUBLIC DISCUSSION PERIOD 462.15 Public discussion began with questions regarding a planning application regarding a proposed development at Puddlemill Farm to be discussed and reviewed by Members later in the meeting. Mr Percy, a neighbour, was concerned about an increase in traffic using the narrow road leading to to Puddlemill and felt that the visibility for drivers accessing the development was poor. The developer agreed but also pointed out that the road was classified as a road and that he would work with the landowner to improve visibility. Mr Tamplin went on to outline his proposals to convert some of the outbuildings into holiday lets and advised the meeting that he intended to use Puddlemill as a working farm. Mr Percy suggested that the development might have been better as a farm with affordable housing, but he was advised by Mr Tamplin that this had not been permitted by the planning authority. Cllr Bugler noted that there were no proposals for private sewerage, including septic tank, on the plans submitted and was advised by the developer that one would be installed since the units could not be connected to the main sewer.

  • East Creech Conservation Area Review
    Item 12 Council Meeting – 16 January 2018 East Creech Conservation Area review 1. Purpose of report The purpose of this report is to seek the Council’s approval to adopt the draft appraisal and boundary proposal prepared for East Creech Conservation Area. 2. Key issues 2.1 The Council designates and reviews conservation areas in fulfilment of statutory duties under Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Purbeck District has twenty five Conservation Areas, twenty-two of which have been appraised and reviewed since their designation, twenty-one of these since 2008. 2.2 A conservation area is a historic built environment designation. The designation promotes the preservation and enhancement of groups of buildings and structures which hold special historic or architectural interest, together with associated spaces and trees. This is primarily achieved through the sensitive management of change within the planning process. 2.3 Paragraph 127 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) highlights the importance of ensuring that conservation area designations are justified. This is the key objective of the boundary review, and ensures fairness in the application of controls, and soundness in case of appeal against planning decisions. 2.4 The Council has a statutory duty to consider the impact of planning proposals upon conservation areas. This is reflected in paragraph 129 of the NPPF, which requires local planning authorities to assess the significance of heritage assets as part of the development management process. Assessment of significance is a key objective of conservation area character appraisals, and therefore provides the Council with an important part of the required evidence base in decision making.
