Llanishen 1 Llanishen Geographical coordinates: 51°31′44″N 3°11′20″W Llanishen (Welsh Llanisien llan church + Isien Saint Isan) is a district in the north of Cardiff, the capital city of Wales. Llanishen is well-known as the home of the 'Tax Offices', the tallest buildings in north Cardiff and a landmark for miles around. The office complex overlooks the 'Crystal and Fishguard estates', Parc Ty Glas industrial estate, old village, leafy suburban roads and various parkland that constitute the district. Llanishen is also home to a fully featured Leisure Centre and the 60-acre Llanishen Reservoir - a local beauty spot that is connected to a green corridor which bisects the city from Llanishen electoral ward of Cardiff the rising hills in the north to Cardiff Bay in the south. History Originally wooded farm land, in A.D. 535 two monks came eastwards from the small religious settlement of Llandaff, aiming to establish new settlements, or "llans", in the land below Caerphilly mountain. With fresh water from the Nant Fawr stream, one of the monks Isan founded his llan on the site of the modern day Oval Park. In 1089 in the Battle of the Heath, the Normans fought the Welsh Celts north of the settlement. The victorious Normans expanded Llanishen, starting work on a church to the north which was completed in the 12th century. Although Oliver Cromwell had ties with Llanishen and the neighbouring village of Llysfaen, the village remained undisturbed until 1871, when the Rhymney Railway was given permission to break the stranglehold of the Taff Vale Railway into Cardiff Docks. Building a line from Caerphilly to Crockherbtown Junction just north of Cardiff Queen Street, its 1.5 miles (2.4 km) tunnel to the north resulted in a number of accidental deaths, many of whom are buried in St Isans church. The railway and the development of Llanishen railway station allowed wealthy Cardiff business people to commute from the village to the centre of city easily, resulting in the expansion of the villages population by 20,000 between 1851 and 1871. In 1887, the two new reservoirs of Llanishen were built to allow distribution of water collected in the Brecon Beacons to the city. In 1922, after expansion north by the city and south by the village, Llanishen became a suburb of Cardiff. Development of the village since has been through redevelopment of the former farming and military land into commercial usage and housing development. Commerce and Industry ROF Cardiff The First World War, like in many locations, brought death to the young men of the village, but the Second World War brought greater affect. With the development of ROF Bridgend, a Royal Ordnance Factory, ROF Cardiff, was developed along Ty Glas Road to take the explosives from Bridgend and produce tank and anti-tank guns. Air defences against paratroopers were placed in nearby fields, but this was strengthened in 1941 when the Royal Air Force established both a RAF Regiment base and a glider training facility. In 1943 the United States Army began using the facilities to hold troops and undertake local training, including basic flight in Tiger Cubs. The Americans left in June 1944 as the Allies prepared for D-Day. In 1987 ROF Cardiff became an Atomic Weapons Establishment. It closed down in February 1997. Llanishen 2 ROF Cardiff since closure has become the site of major housing development: George Wimpey called theirs 'Parklands', Barratt built 'Ty Glas Square' and Leadbitter built 'Llys Enfys', with Bellway and Persimmon/Charles Church creating even more housing between the AWE site and the HMRC building. The site will also host a new public open space, the final element to be constructed (2010), to include children's play area, sports pitch and community garden. The Wimpey plc development has been named 'Watkins Square' and the Barratt 'Tasker Square' - after Wales' famous Victoria Cross winner Sir Tasker Watkins, who died during 2007. Parc Ty Glas Industrial Estate Parc Ty Glas is home to the offices of S4C (the national television station for Wales) and the National Eisteddfod of Wales. HM Revenue and Customs occupies a 16-storey tower block (Phase 2) plus some of the 11-storey Gleider House (Phase 1) in a complex of HM Government offices,[1] employing more than 2,700 staff on site in late 2007[2] (mainly Revenue division — including an enquiry centre, or IREC). In 2003, a retail complex of six stores was HM Government buildings, Phase 2 (left) and Gleider House - Phase 1 (right) and built; the current occupants are Marks and Ty Rhodfa in the foreground Spencer Simply Food, Boots, Laura Ashley, HomeSense Starbucks DW fitness and pets at home Other offices The Orchards complex, formerly the site of the National Coal Board's regional office,[1] houses the offices of the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales,[3] the Welsh Assembly Government's Department for Rural Affairs,[4] and the Welsh office of the Camelot Group, operators of the UK National Lottery.[5] Leisure Cardiff Sailing Centre Cardiff Sailing Centre (Llanishen Sailing Centre)[6] is one of Wales' foremost Sailing Schools teaching sailing, windsurfing and powerboating, and enjoys an international reputation. [7] [8] The centre currently operates all it's courses in Cardiff Bay due to the drain down, however still has buildings at the reservoir should they be able to return. Llanishen and Lisvane Reservoirs Two non-functional reservoirs (the smaller Lisvane reservoir is adjoined to Llanishen Reservoir). Llanishen Reservoir forms the end of a Victorian water supply system stretching from the Brecon Beacons to Cardiff and has recently had its CADW listing confirmed. It had been under threat from an American-lead commercial development for domestic housing, where the proposed houses would be built around a reduced lake. But the CADW designation plus the Site of Special Scientific Interest for grassland fungi on the embankments of the reservoir, will make it very difficult for a developer to gain building permission. Locals are campaigning to make the area a registered village green.[9] [10] Llanishen 3 Llanishen Leisure Centre Llanishen Leisure Centre[11] is situated in Llanishen and is the largest in the city. It has a pool with a wave machine, Squash courts, multi-activity Sports Hall, an improved Gym & Fitness suite, a Snooker table and Lounge Bar & Pool side Cafeteria. It is built in a very similar layout to the Pentwyn leisure centre. Llanishen Library Llanishen Library is a part-time branch library with two PCs with free Llanishen Leisure Centre Internet access. Llanishen Skate Park In the large 'Glider Field' alongside the leisure centre, there is a public Skatepark.[12] Skate Park Facilities: 2 Quarter-pipes / Jump box / 2 flat banks / Driveway / Spine Llanishen Rugby Club The playing ground and large training ground of Llanishen RFC is off Usk Road, and has been used in the past by visiting international rugby union teams. The Club House is off Ty Glas Avenue nearby.[13] Public Houses Llanishen's pubs include The Church Inn, Ty Glas Road, Ty Glas and Wolf's Castle. Schools Local Primary schools: • Cefn Onn • Christ the King R.C. Primary School • Coed Glas[14] • Ysgol y Wern • The Court Special School Secondary schools: • Llanishen High School Transport The district is served by two railway stations, Llanishen railway station (on the Cardiff Central to Rhymney Line) in the east and Ty Glas railway station (on the Cardiff Central to Coryton) in the west. Cardiff Bus operates several bus routes through the area: • 28 from Station Road (Thornhill) or (Roath Park-Cathays-Central Stn) • 29 (Llanishen Village Circle) or (Roath Park-Roath-Central Stn) • 29B (Llanishen Village Circle via Ty Glas) or (Roath Park-Roath-Central Stn) • 52A (Llanishen Village Circle-Penylan-Roath-Central Stn) • 86 (Lisvane) Llanishen can be approached from the south via Caerphilly Road and also, more centrally, via Fidlas Road at Rhydypenau crossroads (north of Roath Park). Llanishen 4 Government and politics Electoral ward The electoral ward of Llanishen falls within the parliamentary constituency of Cardiff North.

    The London School of Economics and Political Science In the Shadow of the Prison Gates: An Institutional Analysis of Early Release Policy and Practice in England and Wales, 1960 – 1995 Thomas Charles Guiney A thesis submitted to the Department of Social Policy of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, October 2015. Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 99,995 words. 2 Abstract This thesis explores the historical development of early release policy and practice in England and Wales between 1960 - 1995. The evolution of criminal justice as a public policy concern has attracted considerable interest within the literature but this has tended to focus on the role of individuals as key agents of policy change or the ‘big picture’ socio-economic shifts associated with late twentieth-century modernity. Comparatively little attention has been paid to the mediating role of institutions at the intersection between policy and politics.

    CARDIFF LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2006-2026 Candidate Site Register Revised March 2011 A Proud Capital Cardiff Local Development Plan 2006 - 2026 Introduction 1. This document lists all of the sites that have been submitted by landowners, or others, through the candidate site process which forms an early part in helping to prepare a Local Development Plan (LDP) for Cardiff. It is important to note that the submission of candidate sites should not be interpreted as a commitment that such sites will be taken forward into the LDP. 2. Part 6 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 places a duty on each local authority in Wales to prepare an LDP. The LDP will set out the Council’s land use strategy for Cardiff for the period 2006 - 2026. The purpose of the LDP is to identify the anticipated level of future development that may occur and allocate land for such development that may take place during the lifetime of the Plan. 3. The LDP Manual (Welsh Assembly Government, 2006) recommends that local planning authorities engage with developers and landowners at the evidence gathering stage of the LDP process to obtain information about potential development sites that may be included in the plan. The aim of this is to help with the council’s consideration of suitable sites for inclusion in the LDPs and avoid a substantial number of unidentified sites coming forward at the latter examination stage and also to ensure that the LDP can be delivered in land use terms. 4. Accordingly, in October 2010, the Council formally invited developers, landowners, agents, council departments and others with an interest in land to submit sites (known as ‘Candidate Sites’) they wished to be considered for development or reuse through the LDP, for a range of uses, including but not limited to housing, employment, retail, transportation, leisure, waste, community facilities, open space and mixed use schemes.

    Delivering Capital Ambition Cardiff Council Corporate Plan 2020-23

    Delivering Capital Ambition Cardiff Council Corporate Plan 2020-23 Mae’r ddogfen hon ar gael yn Gymraeg hefyd / WORKING FOR CARDIFF, This document is also available in Welsh WORKING FOR YOU Leader’s Introduction 2020-2023 As my Administration enters the second half of its municipal term, we have reaffirmed our Capital Ambition commitments to create a greener, fairer and stronger capital city. This plan describes in detail how we will deliver our Capital Ambition programme. With the UK having now left the European Union, the plan sets out a positive and progressive response, with the Council investing alongside the private sector in a programme of major regeneration projects, placing a relentless focus on job creation and attracting inward investment. This work will include completing Central Square and the city centre’s transformation as a business district, launching the next phase of Cardiff Bay’s regeneration and delivering a new Industrial Strategy for the east of the city, which will create new jobs in this too often overlooked part of the city. But a strong economy is about much more than simply creating jobs and attracting investment. It is a scandal that many of the poorest communities in Wales – including the one I represent - are less than a stone’s throw away from the nation’s economic centre. And so, through initiatives like the Living Wage City, we will place an equal emphasis on ensuring that the jobs and opportunities created in Cardiff are taken by citizens of all our communities. Education remains our top priority. This plan describes how we will continue to drive up school performance and reduce the attainment gap between children from our most affluent and deprived communities, led by our hundreds of millions pound investment in building new, and improving existing, schools, and our commitment to becoming a Unicef Child Friendly City.

    Cardiff Naturalists' Society Newsletter No.57 March 2003

    CARDIFF NATURALISTS’ SOCIETY Founded 1876 NEWSLETTER NO.57 MARCH 2003 PRESIDENT: Dr. Joan Andrews VICE PRESIDENT: Tricia Wood EDITOR: Brian Bond 22 Douglas Close Llandaff Cardiff CF52QT Tel: 029 20560835 Email: [email protected] Charity No 1092496 Below is a copy of the Societies response to the planning application at Llanishen reservoir. Cardiff Naturalists Society Proposed Development at Llanishen Reservoir. Cardiff is probably unique as a city in having four identifiable 'Green Corridors' that bring wildlife into the centre of the city. CNS firmly believes that these must be maintained for future generations. Such corridors must be wide enough to allow wildlife to move freely along them without undue disturbance from developments on either side. One such corridor is that along the Nant Fawr Stream and the reservoirs of Lisvane & Llanishen. As Llanishen Reservoir is no longer used for the supply of domestic drinking water CNS recognizes that the existing status quo cannot be maintained indefinitely. CNS supports the enhancement of the site of Llanishen reservoir in the interests of nature conservation and as an opportunity to further public education in all aspects of wildlife However, it cannot support the existing planning application until every alternative option that minimizes the inevitable disturbance to wildlife, has been fully explored. It recognizes that the planning application attempts to ameliorate the effects of the development on the biodiversity on the site but it remains concerned about the effects that such a housing development will have being in such close proximity to a wildlife area and in particular the detrimental effects on the wildlife during the constructional phase of the project which will take many years for recovery to take effect.
