Introduction 1.1. White Consultants were appointed in October 2018 to undertake a landscape and visual sensitivity assessment for land in the eastern environs of Malvern Hills AONB and the settlement of Malvern. The team included Simon White, Steven Warnock, Harry Bell and Trevor McDonald. 1.2. The South Worcestershire Councils (SWC) are preparing a spatial development strategy for the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (SWDPR) as per the published 2018- 2021 Local Development Scheme. 1.3. The purpose of the study is to carry out an objective, evidence-based technical assessment to determine the levels of landscape and visual sensitivity and capacity of the landscapes of the study area to accept development of a type and scale appropriate to the area. The development types are housing, employment/commercial uses, leisure/tourism/sports uses and recreational development. 1.4. The study will be an important factor in the determination of an appropriate spatial development strategy for the revised South Worcestershire Development Plan. There is other technical evidence which is material to the plan making process e.g. Village Facilities and Rural Transport Study, Strategic Flood Risk Assessment, Sustainability Appraisal etc. There could therefore be instances whereby a land parcel which has little capacity for development from a landscape and visual sensitivity perspective but performs well in terms of other technical evidence could still be considered for a proposed allocation in the SWDPR Preferred Options. Equally a land parcel which could accommodate some development without compromising landscape or visual sensitivity may perform poorly in respect of other technical evidence e.g. it floods or is far removed from local services etc and consequently is not considered appropriate to allocate. Plan making requires the consideration of a range of technical evidence not all of which pull in the same direction. That said, there will need to be a strong planning justification for allocating a site which performs poorly against any of the technical evidence. This study also provides a technical justification should the SWC wish to develop a draft planning policy for appraising development proposals within the setting of the Malvern Hills AONB. 1.5. A Stage 1 scoping report was prepared in late October 2018 setting out the method to define land cover parcels (LCPs) for assessment and the process to determine landscape and visual sensitivity and capacity. It also included a desk study of landscape constraints, the boundaries of proposed LCPs and the definition of Landscape Character sub-areas based on Landscape Types outside the core study area. The method and LCPs/sub-areas were agreed with the client on 6 November 2018 with minor refinements to the method and proposed landscape type classification. 1.6. Visualisations of the agreed LCPs were prepared from three viewpoints on the Malvern Hills- North Hill, Worcester Beacon and Pinnacle Hill. These were the subject of further client comment and used in a site assessment of each LCP building on the desk study information. 1.7. This report is the Stage 3 draft report setting out the findings of the sensitivity and capacity assessment for client and steering group comment. It is divided into three parts. In Part 1 we set out the method (2.0), briefly set out a summary of sensitivity and capacity findings both for each development type (3.0) and then consider the issue of setting of the Malvern Hills AONB. This is followed by figures showing the LCPs, the summary capacities and the visualisations. In Part 2, we set out the detailed sensitivity and capacity assessments for each land cover parcel in numerical order. In Part 3, we set out the sensitivities of the Landscape Character sub-areas outside the core study area. 1.8. The study is a technical exercise and the report uses a number of technical terms for precision and as a means for reaching conclusions. These terms are defined in the Glossary in Appendix A. 2. Method for deriving landscape sensitivity and capacity 2.1. The study process we have followed is summarised overleaf: White Consultants 2 Final/ 290519 Final Report Malvern Hills AONB environs Landscape and Visual Sensitivity Assessment Box 1 Summary of study method Stage 1 Desk study Client briefing/Inception Gather baseline GIS information eg constraints, designations, cultural heritage, biodiversity, circulation.

We have met with the client to fully understand their requirements and gather relevant data. We have carried out a desk study of the relevant policies and documents and consulted with relevant officers and the Malvern Hills AONB Partnership. Based on this we have refined our proposed method for undertaking the detailed assessment. 2.3. The method takes into consideration: Topic Paper 6: Techniques and Criteria for Judging Capacity and Sensitivity (Countryside Agency/Natural England) and emerging methods based on experience and seminars in 2017 and 2018. An approach to landscape Character Assessment, Natural England, 2014. Landscape Character Assessment: Guidance for England and Scotland, Countryside Agency, 2002.

    J. J. Sarris Teall—Effect of Earth-Movements. 349 found in both. The opening into the larger cave was originally a mere crevice four to six inches wide, requiring many tons of cliff to be removed ere we could effect an entrance. Even then, for some 20 feet, it was but a natural " tunnel," too small, in most parts, either to creep or turn in. No large animals could possibly have entered there; so that the presence of their bones beyond, more or less imbedded in stalagmite, proved that some other entrance, not yet detected, must once have existed. From one of the ramifications, we extracted almost the entire skeleton of a Wolf. Its bones were intermingled with those of a Roebuck, on which it had probably been feeding. The Wolf's skull was a little over three-fourths the size of a full-grown male Arctic specimen. A single canine tooth, belonging to a much larger Wolf, was found at no great distance, and near to the place where the Lynx bones were imbedded. I see no reason to doubt that the Lynx may have roamed through- out our forests and mountain glens, along with the Wolf and the Bear, till a comparatively recent period, just as it still does in Norway ; albeit its origin in Great Britain probably dated from the time when these islands were united to the Continent.

  • Asset Mapping Including Report Fote Malvern 2020
    Asset Mapping Asset mapping is a widely used approach, based on the assumption that every community has a range of assets, relationships, and networks that are of great value. By bringing local stakeholders together, the approach enables the community to become aware of the assets it has that relate to a particular focus. It highlights how these can be utilised for the greater good. We have been re-visiting the attached Mapping Assets for People Living with Dementia in Malvern Report (Evans & Brooker, 2020) in the light of Meeting Centre developments in the UK. This provides a report of an Asset Mapping exercise that was undertaken in the Worcestershire town of Malvern. This work was commissioned by a national Charity called Friends of the Elderly (FoTE) who operate several care services for those affected by dementia in Malvern. We believe that this document would be of great value for people wanting to set up Meeting Centres, and indeed other community-based interventions and activities. The non-deficit approach has great synergy with the Meeting Centre community engagement process and could be enormously useful for communities to participate in. It would reveal gaps in provision and where there was overlap. The approach works well with those wanting to establish common ground. Evans, S.C.E. & Brooker, D.

The framework has been endorsed by the Worcestershire Green Infrastructure Partnership. Partnership members include the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, Natural England, Environment Agency, Forestry Commission, English Heritage, the County and District Councils and the Voluntary Sector. Background to the Framework The Green Infrastructure partnership is producing a series of 'framework documents' which provide the evidence base for the development of the GI Strategy. Framework Document 1 is an introduction to the concept of Green Infrastructure (GI) and also identified the need for the strategic planning of GI and the policy drivers that support the planning of GI at differing spatial scales. Framework Document 2 is an introduction to the natural environment landscape, biodiversity and historic environment datasets and developed the concept of GI Environmental Character Areas based on the quality and quantity of the natural environment assets.
