• A main report – consisting of two volumes: ȃ Volume 1: Introduction to the Environmental Statement and Proposed Scheme which provides an introduction to HS2, an overview of the hybrid bill process and the environmental impact assessment (EIA) methodology, an introduction to consultation and engagement, the main strategic and route-wide alternatives considered; and ȃ Volume 2: Includes 26 Community Forum Area (CFA) reports, each with a separate corresponding set of drawings, which together provide the assessment of local environmental effects. An assessment of the effects of the Proposed Scheme on a route-wide basis is presented in Report 27. HS2 Ltd set up 26 community forums along the line of route of the Proposed Scheme, as a regular way of engaging with local communities1. Volume 2 of this draft ES supports this engagement strategy by providing a draft ES report for each CFA. This is a report for the Ladbroke and Southam area, CFA 16. The draft ES has been written in a clear and accessible manner; however, on occasion it has been necessary to use technical terms. Given this, a glossary of terms and list of abbreviations for all draft ES documentation is provided. 1 Details of these community forums are provided on the HS2 Ltd website at http://www.hs2.org.uk/have-your-say/forums/community-forums. Accessed 24 April 2013. 5 CFA Report – Ladbroke and Southam/No 16 I Contents Part A: Introduction 6 CFA Report – Ladbroke and Southam/No 16 I Introduction 1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction to HS2 1.1.1 HS2 is planned to be a Y-shaped rail network with stations in London, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, South Yorkshire and the East Midlands, linked by high speed trains running at speeds of up to 360 kilometres per hour (kph) (225 miles per hour (mph)). 1.1.2 HS2 is proposed to be built in two phases. Phase One (the Proposed Scheme), the subject of this draft ES, would involve the construction of a new railway line of approximately 230km (143 miles) between London and Birmingham that would become operational by 2026; with a connection to the West Coast Main Line (WCML) near Lichfield and to the existing HS1 line in London. The Phase One route and the 26 CFAs are shown in Figure 1. 1.1.3 On opening, Phase One would run up to 14 trains per hour (tph). HS2 trains would be up to 400 metres (m) long with 1,100 seats during peak hours. Beyond the dedicated high speed track, these high speed trains would connect with, and run on, the existing WCML to serve passengers beyond the HS2 network. A connection to HS1 would also allow some services to run to mainland Europe via the Channel Tunnel. 1.1.4 Phase Two would involve the construction of lines from Birmingham to Leeds and Manchester, with construction commencing around 2027, and planned to be operational by 2033. After Phase Two opens, it is expected that the frequency of train services on this part of the Phase One route could increase up to 18tph. 1.1.5 The Government believes that the HS2 network should link to Heathrow and its preferred option is for this to be built as part of Phase Two. However, the Government has since taken the decision to pause work on the Heathrow link until after 2015 when it expects the Airports Commission to publish its final report on recommended options for maintaining the country’s status as an international aviation hub.

Junction Works Bickershaw Lane Wigan Registered by: The Strategic Director for Communities on 25 March 2021 Proposal: Amendment to existing site layout to increase size of the compost maturation pad and associated works. Site & location: Ufton Hill Landfill Site, Southam Road, Ufton, CV33 9PP. [Grid ref: 439289.261246]. See plan in Appendix A Recommendation That the Regulatory Committee authorises the grant of planning permission for the amendment to the existing site layout to increase the size of the compost maturation pad and associated works, subject to the conditions and for the reasons contained within Appendix B of the report of the Strategic Director for Communities. 1. Application Details 1.1 This application relates to an existing In-Vessel Composting Facility (IVC) located at Ufton Landfill Site. In-Vessel Composting is a treatment process used when green / garden waste contains an element of food waste. IVC is generally a two-stage process. The first stage involves treating the waste material within an enclosed environment or building which allows for accurate temperature control and testing. The second stage involves further composting or maturation of the material in the open air on a concrete pad. 1.2 The planning application seeks consent to amend the site layout (within the existing planning boundary) to increase the available area of the maturation pad located adjacent to the Ufton In-Vessel Composting (IVC) Facility.

  • The Modern Bee and Wasp Assemblages (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) of Warwickshire's Calcareous Quarries and Spoilheaps, and the Cons
    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 19: 2006 7 THE MODERN BEE AND WASP ASSEMBLAGES (HYMENOPTERA: ACULEATA) OF WARWICKSHIRE’S CALCAREOUS QUARRIES AND SPOILHEAPS, AND THE CONSERVATION ISSUES FACING THEM STEVEN J. FALK Warwickshire Museum, Market Place, Warwick CV34 4SA [email protected] ABSTRACT A comparative review of the modern bee and wasp assemblages (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) of fourteen calcareous (mudstone, limestone and ironstone) quarries and spoilheaps in Warwickshire is given. The sites were assessed in terms of species diversity, presence of rare species and the quality of various habitat-related assemblages such as calcicoles. 186 species were recorded in total during the main study period from 1990–2002, and the best site (the Bishops Bowl–Bishops Hill Complex) produced a list of 128 species. Notes on some of the scarcer species are provided and discussion of the main conservation issues that affect bees and wasps at these sites. The danger of placing too much emphasis on Species Quality Indices is highlighted. INTRODUCTION Geologically speaking, Watsonian Warwickshire is a county of two halves. The north and west is largely underlain by pre-Jurassic mudstone, sandstone and igneous rocks overlain by much younger glacial drift that mostly give rise to base-poor soils. These soils once supported scattered heathland within a setting that remained heavily wooded until relatively late, representing the legendary ‘Forest of Arden’ which is now classified as ‘Ancient Arden’ by the Warwickshire Landscape Guidelines (Warwickshire County Council, 1993 parts 1–3) and forming part of the Midlands Plateau Natural Area. Today this part of Warwickshire has lost most of its heathland and bog, but still supports a variety of acidophilous or calcifugous plants and insects which occur predominantly or exclusively within this part of the county.
