  • Historic Landscape Character Areas and Their Special Qualities and Features of Significance
    Historic Landscape Character Areas and their special qualities and features of significance Volume 1 Third Edition March 2016 Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy Emma Rouse, Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy www.wyvernheritage.co.uk – [email protected] – 01747 870810 March 2016 – Third Edition Summary The North Wessex Downs AONB is one of the most attractive and fascinating landscapes of England and Wales. Its beauty is the result of many centuries of human influence on the countryside and the daily interaction of people with nature. The history of these outstanding landscapes is fundamental to its present‐day appearance and to the importance which society accords it. If these essential qualities are to be retained in the future, as the countryside continues to evolve, it is vital that the heritage of the AONB is understood and valued by those charged with its care and management, and is enjoyed and celebrated by local communities. The North Wessex Downs is an ancient landscape. The archaeology is immensely rich, with many of its monuments ranking among the most impressive in Europe. However, the past is etched in every facet of the landscape – in the fields and woods, tracks and lanes, villages and hamlets – and plays a major part in defining its present‐day character. Despite the importance of individual archaeological and historic sites, the complex story of the North Wessex Downs cannot be fully appreciated without a complementary awareness of the character of the wider historic landscape, its time depth and settlement evolution. This wider character can be broken down into its constituent parts.

  • Inkpen Superfast Broadband Project
    Inkpen Superfast Broadband Project The RCBF/DEFRA broadband funding application The following outline of Inkpen’s SFB status necessarily excludes the substantial volume of detail on which the decision making relied. This exclusion is purely to enable a concise statement of our position to be made. Any questions relating to this should be directed to the Inkpen SFB team. In the latter half of 2013 we found out that Inkpen was not to benefit from the government funded project, to get superfast broadband (SFB) to 90% of the UK. Inkpen was in the last 10% and because of the dispersed nature of the village, the cost of bringing the necessary infrastructure to Inkpen made it likely that Inkpen would struggle to get included in future broadband upgrades. We made representations to Richard Benyon and others but at the end of the day, the allocation of funds is a statistical process biased towards the greatest number of connections at least cost. Our village structure isn’t helpful in this regard. On the 11th November 2013 WBC contacted Inkpen PC and 14 other local parish councils offering the prospect of some level of SFB via a different funding mechanism, using EC money administered by DEFRA. On the basis that something is better than nothing, We opted to take part in this. The caveats were that we had to raise funds and complete all application formalities, tendering and assignment of contracts by 31st March 2014. It was realised by all parties that this was a very challenging schedule. Two mechanisms for providing SFB to these rural parishes was proposed.
