25 July 2019 Dear Mr Hutchinson, I Am Writing in Response to Your Ein cyf/Our ref: Eich cyf/Your ref:ATI-17553b Ebost/Email: [email protected] Ffôn/Phone: 03000653920 25 July 2019 Dear Mr Hutchinson, I am writing in response to your review request of 1 July 2019. The purpose of an Internal Review is to assess how the Environmental Information Regulation 2004 (EIR) request was handled in the first instance and to determine whether the original response given to you was correct. Your original request was; I shall be grateful if you will let me know what works Natural Resources for Wales has done with Nicklaus Joint Venture Group Ltd at Machynys on water voles and when that was. In our response to you of the 28 June 2019 we stated that in 2007 we were consulted on two planning application received by the Local Authority as follows: • S/15971 - Residential Development Machynys Peninsula Golf Club, Llanelli, Dyfed, SA15 2DG. • S/15973 - Engineering Operations to Provide Flood Attenuation Measures, Land Re- Profiling And New Wetland Habitat At Machynys Peninsula Golf Club, Llanelli, SA15 2DG We shared with you the planning application information in the form of an attachment, but we couldn’t share with you our response to the consultation as it was no longer available as it had been destroyed under our retention schedule criteria. In your request for review you requested; I shall be grateful if you will send me your schedule of record retention and destruction. Our retention schedule is as follows: Record Series Title: Flood Defence Consents Record Description: Applications, consents, consultation, refusals, deposited drawings, retain summary within database, decision documents Point of Closure: Once works are completed satisfactorily or 6 months after the time limit on the consent otherwise 3 years after the issue or refusal date Retain For 6 Years Tŷ Cambria • 29 Heol Casnewydd • Caerdydd • CF24 0TP Cambria House • 29 Newport Road • Cardiff • CF24 0TP Croesewir gohebiaeth yn y Gymraeg a’r Saesneg Correspondence welcomed in Welsh and English As these records were held by a previous legacy body the Environment Agency Wales and the retention criteria was 6 years, they will have been destroyed in 2013. I have attached the Environment Agency Retention Schedule Procedures for your information. I’m sorry that you were not able to receive all the information you requested on this occasion, but you may wish to consider contacting the Local Authority to ask they still hold the information. I am therefore content that we gave you all the available information we had available in response to your request. We now consider that we have complied with your request. However, if you are dissatisfied with our response you are entitled to pursue this matter with the Information Commissioners Office. Yours sincerely Tracey Gilliland Lead Specialist Advisor Information and Security If you are still not satisfied following this, you can make an appeal to the Information Commissioner, who is the statutory regulator for Freedom of Information. The address is: Office of the Information Commissioner, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF. Tel: 0303 123 113 Fax: 01625 524 510. E-mail: [email protected].

  • Cyngor Cefn Gwlad Cymru Countryside Council for Wales Site of Special Scientific Interest Citation Carmarthenshire Pyllau Machyn
    CYNGOR CEFN GWLAD CYMRU COUNTRYSIDE COUNCIL FOR WALES SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST CITATION CARMARTHENSHIRE PYLLAU MACHYNYS (MACHYNYS PONDS) Date of Notification: 1993 National Grid Reference: SS 512980 O.S. Maps: 1: 50,000 Sheet number: 159 1: 25,000 Sheet number: SS 59 Site Area: 6.4 ha Description: Situated on the glacial "end moraine' which farms the backbone of the Machynys Peninsula on the northern shore of the Burry Inlet, just south of Llanelli, these ponds owe their origin principally to the flooding of clay pits in the catastrophic storm of October 1896. In the intervening period, uncommon plants and invertebrates have colonised the site from nearby freshwater and brackish marshes which were once found around the fringes of the now- reclaimed "Morfa-mawr (or "Great Saltmarsh") that lay alongside the higher ground of the Machynys moraine. These moderately nutrient-rich ponds, and the inter-connecting areas of fen and carr, have developed a distinctive and, for Wales, an uncommon community of invertebrates, which includes a high proportion of species which are regarded as indicators of habitat quality; there are also faunistic elements that are more characteristic of fens and marshes of lowland southern England and which are noticeably rare in Wales. The dragonfly fauna is particularly diverse. Machynys Ponds are additionally noted for their botanical interest. The site comprises one large pond with a group of three smaller pools to the east, linked by fen-carr. The main pond holds various aquatic plants such as spiked water-milfoil Myriophylium spicatum, Canadian waterweed Elodea canadensis and increasing rafts of the yellow-flowered fringed water-lily Nymphoides peltata.

  • Invertebrate Group
    DYFED INVERTEBRATE GROUP NEWSLETTER N°. 1 (March 1986) This first issue of the DIG Newsletter heralds what we hope will be a new phase in the conservation of invertebrates in west Wales. We are all aware of how beautiful and varied Dyfed's countryside is and many of the richer sites have already been purchased by sympathetic bodies such as the West Wales Trust for Nature Conservation, Nature Conservancy Council, National Trust and Woodland Trust. These reserves, by and large, have been chosen as representative of the spectrum of natural and semi-natural habitats in the county - with an eye often kept open for scarce plants and birds. These priorities will no doubt remain but as public interest in, and hence knowledge of, invertebrates improves the requirements of a whole range of groups must be taken into account. Apart from broad generalisations of sound practice it has been difficult for conservation bodies to cater for invertebrates as, until recently, so little has been known about them in Dyfed. It is our hope that DIG will provide a voice for those thousands of unsung species and present the information and advice upon which management plans can be formulated. The primary need is to collate data on the distribution and status of our invertebrate fauna in order that conservation priorities can be assessed. This is the main function of the Newsletter, to bring together the results of the efforts and expertise of naturalists surveying invertebrates in Dyfed. The Newsletter will appear as often as we can fill the pages - it is dependent upon the support of your contributions.

  • Annual Report 2016-2017
    Dyfed Archaeological Trust TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED st 31 MARCH 2017 i TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2017 The Trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31st March 2017. Over forty years have passed since the Trust was incorporated under the Companies Act on the 4th February 1975. Objective of the Trust The Dyfed Archaeological Trust is an educational charity and a private limited company. The Trust was established in 1975 as part of a network of four independent archaeological organisations covering the whole of Wales. The object for which the Trust is established is to advance the education of the public in archaeology. Mission Statement Promoting the understanding, conservation and appreciation of the historic environment of Wales. Promoting the historic environment All of the Trust’s activities directly or indirectly promote the historic environment. However, some projects and activities were specifically aimed at raising awareness of the historic environment as one of Wales’s greatest assets. Community participation The Trust has always welcomed the involvement of members of local communities, students and other volunteers on excavations and other projects. In recent years we have supported increased participation as it is now recognised within the profession that archaeology can make a major contribution to economic and social objectives, including child poverty, social inclusion, public health, tourism and economic regeneration and address some of the seven goals in the Welsh Government’s 2015 Well-being of Future Generations Act. Local volunteers and others participated on excavations including: St Patrick’s Chapel early medieval cemetery; Great Nash as part of the Llangwm heritage project; Machynys House, Llanelli; and the Bishops’s Palace garden, Abergwili.
