  • Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership
    Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership ‘Call for Evidence’ Response to Gloucestershire’s Local Industrial Strategy Page 1 of 54 Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership Local Nature Partnerships (LNPs) were formed as part of the government’s 2011 white paper “The Natural Choice: Securing the value of nature”1. As part of a framework to strengthen local action to achieve the recovery of nature, LNPs were tasked to raise awareness about the vital services and benefits that a healthy natural environment brings for people, communities and the local economy. LNPs were to contribute to the green economy and complement Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), of which there is an expectation from government for LNPs and LEPs to form strong links that capture the value of nature. Here in Gloucestershire, the LNP is formed of over 30 organisations from public, private and third sector bodies from across the county, all working together as an informal partnership to recognise the importance of embedding nature's value in local decisions for the benefit of the nature, people and the economy. The GLNP Mission is to champion the essential role of Gloucestershire’s natural environment in sustaining a vibrant, healthy, prosperous economy and society. With a Vision of a healthy and valued natural environment, sustaining the economy and wellbeing of Gloucestershire. Our partnership provides a strong and innovative voice for the environment sector and is seen as a key partner in helping deliver the Gloucestershire County Council’s Strategy 2019-20222. We benefit from a solid working relationship with GFirst LEP, as well as all the District Councils.

We consider in reaching that decision we have taken into account all relevant considerations and legal requirements and that the permit will ensure that the appropriate level of environmental protection is provided. Purpose of this document This decision document: • explains how the application has been determined • provides a record of the decision-making process • shows how all relevant factors have been taken into account • justifies the specific conditions in the permit other than those in our generic permit template. Unless the decision document specifies otherwise we have accepted the applicant’s proposals. Structure of this document • Key issues: Ammonia Emissions; Industrial Emissions Directive (IED); Groundwater/Soil Monitoring; Odour management • Annex 1 the decision checklist • Annex 2 the consultation and web publicising responses EPR/WP3034VF/A001 Issued 06/11/14 Page 1 of 13 Key issues of the decision Ammonia Emissions There are four European designated sites located within ten kilometres, sixteen Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) located within five kilometres, seven Local Wildlife Sites (LWS) and ten Ancient Woodlands (AW) located within two kilometres of the installation. Ammonia Assessment – SAC / SPA / Ramsar sites The following trigger thresholds have been applied for assessment of European sites including Ramsar sites: • if the process contribution (PC) is below 4% of the relevant critical level (CLe) or critical load (CLo) then the farm can be permitted with no further assessment; • where this threshold is exceeded an assessment alone and in combination is required; • an overlapping in combination assessment will be completed where existing farms are identified within 10 km of the habitat site.

  • February 2021
    The Ruspidge & Soudley Parish Newsletter February 2021 Comment COVID-19 Following the sad demise of our dear friend Jeff, I took over as Editor of the ViewPoint at the beginning of last year. I recall my first edition (April 2020) mentioning Covid-19 and the newly imposed lockdown. Almost a year on, it seems like groundhog day! We are daily bombarded by doom and gloom, cases have risen, as have deaths - and we are STILL in lockdown! There is a glimmer of hope in the very recent reduction in number of cases in the FoD but sadly, deaths (topped 100,000 as I write) have risen. Lets hope that we are nearing the peak of this pandemic and that the number of infections, and then deaths will continue downward. Of course, there is a welcome ray of hope - the VACCINE! Forest GP’s and others have so far done a sterling job in very quickly vaccinating the elderly - and continue to do so. Judging by reports, FoD clinicians are rated as amongst the highest in terms of number of jabs administered. We owe them all our gratitude and support. Sad to say, it looks as if it will be a long time before life returns to something like normal I suspect that will be an even longer time before I do not mention COVID-19 in this journal. More Covid-19 related information below:- Your Council Needs YOU! Please consider joining your Parish Council. Three vacancies remain to achieve a full council. There is no deadline for applications. Council is happy to receive applications until all seats are taken.

Excluding listed places of worship, for which the survey is still incomplete,1,150 assets have been removed for positive reasons since the Register was launched in 2008.The sites that remain at risk tend to be the more intractable ones where solutions are taking longer to implement. While the overall number of buildings at risk has fallen, the average conservation deficit for each property has increased from £260k (1999) to £370k (2012).We are also seeing a steady increase in the proportion of buildings that are capable of beneficial re-use – those that have become redundant not because of any fundamental lack of potential, but simply as the temporary victims of the current economic climate. The South West headlines for 2012 reveal a mixed picture. We will continue to fund Monument Management It is good news that 8 buildings at risk have been removed Schemes which, with match-funding from local authorities, from the Register; less good that another 15 have had to offer a cost-effective, locally led approach to tackling be added.

  • Vision Care for Deaf Children and Young People Throughout the UK
    s d r a d n a t S y t i l a u Q Vision care for deaf children and young people Guidelines for professionals What parents have told us... “We were impressed that they treated her as a child first, not just as a deaf child. They accommodated her needs and did various things to get her confidence, so they could get a good quality eye test done.” “The initial diagnosis – although a shock to us as parents – was followed up with care and due information and explanation.” “Families have the primary care and responsibility for their child. So it is vital to involve them from the outset as partners with health professionals in the care of their child – rather than as recipients of a service.” Driving up vision care standards for deaf children Several changes have taken place affecting deaf children since the publication of the first guidelines on vision care for all deaf children by Sense and NDCS in 2004. This new edition takes recent developments into account. Newborn Hearing Screening has been implemented throughout the UK. Babies born with permanent deafness may be indentified in the first few weeks of life – which means that families can make earlier decisions on how their child can develop language skills. Developments in the cochlear implantation programme (and service, too) have seen many more parents choosing this option for their deaf child since 2004. Most of the information a child will use to learn about their world comes through their ears and eyes. Deaf children are especially dependent on vision in order to acquire language and develop relationships.

The policies in the Core Strategy use these relationships and the general hierarchy of settlements. 1.2 The role of this paper is therefore to; Explain the role of national policy in the hierarchy Provide background evidence for a settlement hierarchy as used in the LDF 1.3 An understanding of the settlement hierarchy is important as the Local Development Framework (LDF) must set out a clear order of preference for the location of development. This needs to be robust, not just for the short term in the context of limited or no housing supply, but in the longer term when development requirements change.
