It incorporates the interim report findings prepared in January 2005 and includes additional analysis of TTW data sets and other evidence informing the current and future roles of settlements. 1.2 The Brief for the study from the SW Regional Assembly states that the study will assist in the review of the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) by the South West Regional Planning Body (SWRPB). It will also inform the RES review. "In doing this the RPB is looking for a more creative approach to settlement strategy than has commonly been the case in the development of regional strategy in the UK." 1.3 The brief highlights a number of issues to be considered in informing work on the emerging RSS: ! providing a benchmark functional analysis for settlements at all levels ! include settlements of all types ! work in two phases - "regionally significant" settlements to be identified first ! identify settlements below PUA which have a "significant part to play" in delivering regional objectives / "play an important sub-regional role as focal points for future economic, cultural and housing growth" ! to include consideration of key relationships between settlements ! provide observations on how functions and relationships are likely to evolve over 25 years based on understanding of the current position & appropriate evidence ! identify settlements that display positive potential for self-sustaining and relatively self-contained economic growth over the next 20 year ! create a general functional assessment of other settlements of all sizes which when grouped by District or by functional zone may be used in the RSS to guide the general allocation of "local requirement" employment and housing within LDFs ! give guidance on settlement functionality at the local level for use in LDFs ! inform the process as to how development may be appropriately allocated to settlements within Districts and those parts of Districts which lie outside the PUA areas themselves ! develop a robust methodology to analyse current and project future functional characteristics of settlements and relationships between settlements. ! help provide a measure using appropriate criteria identifying "general ingredients for success" of what the general quality of life is like for broad sectors of the population in the region's settlements ! provide a consistent analytical and evidence base to be shared by RSS and RES processes ! provide a GIS dataset covering the above 1.4 A key driver of the study is the view resulting from monitoring of RPG10, consultation on the new Integrated Regional Strategy for the South West and the specially commissioned "fitness" for purpose" review of RPG10 that the urban focused approach of RPG10 is still the correct approach for RSS but that the strategy needs to evolve to better reflect local diversity and variation in the role, function and economic potential of settlements other than PUAs. Roger Tym & Partners March 2005 1 Functional Analysis of Settlements Final Report 1.5 In fact, RPG10 had only partially dealt with settlements below PUA level. RPG10 made provision for "other strategic centres for significant growth" - known as Other Designated Centres for Growth (ODCGs) - which were originally to be identified through Structure Plans. Thus in addition to the 11 PUAs identified in RPG101, RPG10 identified 10 ODCGs 2 . However, the recent review process confirms a view that the approach to ODCGs has not developed as might have been wished, and in any case there is a "lack of clarity" concerning which settlements are appropriate candidates as ODCGs. 1.6 The Brief for the study therefore states that: "the RSS will need to contain sub-regional policy to deal with the strategic implications of growth at the PUAs" (The issue for RSS of PUA growth itself will be dealt with through the process of the Joint Study Areas) and "It will be appropriate for the RSS to identify by name a number of other settlements which, whilst not centres of strong regional significance, nevertheless have a strong sub-regional effect" "A major output from this commission will be a sound evidence base for the identification of the set of other named settlements" 1.7 With these issues in mind, the study objectives may be broadly grouped and simplified, as follows: 1. Developing a methodology (with associated datasets) to identify the functions and functional relationships of settlements.

This long hot summer seems to go on and on. While we all enjoy the warmth and sunshine, our gardens are suffering. The butterflies seem to enjoy the weather though, and there are plenty to be seen if you are out walking on the Common - in particular the lovely orange and black Silver- washed fritillaries which can be found along the rides and woodland edges. There are some familiar butterflies to colour for our Young Buddies. The ponies are seeking out shade during the heat of the day, but flies and ticks are making their presence felt. If you are an outdoors person, then the National Plant Monitoring Survey offers a chance be of help in conservation efforts. For the Green Fingered among you we offer some exotic cacti, and for the cooks the Seasonal Treat is a deliciously different lemon drizzle cake. Summer is also the time for Barbecues and Garden Parties - check out What’s On and the Church Pages for details. Langford Ladies have enjoyed a barbecue too, and The Friendship Circle are planning a visit to a micro- brewery!

The new Environment Agency starts its work of managing the environment in England and Wales on April 1 1996. SUt~ ^ r C S FOREWORD------- This Catchment Management Plan Consultation Report covers the River Tone and all its tributaries. These drain to it from Exmoor and the Quantock Hills in the west and north and from the Blackdown Hills in the south and east. The report also includes the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. This report describes the physical features and factors such as geology and climate for the catchment. In particular, we set out the NRA’s vision for the catchment. We describe: • the activities in the catchment which affect the water environment and the uses made of water; • the NRA’s objectives and targets for the water environment, described under four headings - water quality, water quantity, physical features and flood defence; • the state of the catchment in relation to the four categories of objectives. From this comparison we identify issues which need to be addressed by the NRA and others.

  • Taunton Green Green Wedge Assessment 2015
    Taunton Deane Green Wedge Assessment June 2015 Introduction Green Wedges have been protected through policy in Taunton Deane since the East Taunton local Plan publication of 1991. The policy wording has changed little during that time. Currently the policy states that: Key policy objectives of Green Wedges are to: • Prevent the coalescence of settlements and maintain a sense of place and identity for neighborhoods; • Maintain the open character of a green lung contributing to health and wellbeing for residents; • Bring the countryside into the heart of town; • Provide accessible formal and informal recreation, sport and play; • Provide valuable wildlife corridors and habitat; • Protect areas of landscape importance and visual amenity; and • Provide a positive approach to land use. However during that time there have been a number of appeals and Local Plan Inquiries that have directly challenged the Council’s approach and designation. Aware of that the Council’s Strategic Planning, Transportation and Economic Development Review Panel of 16th November 2006 resolved that: a) Green Wedges be considered as integrated environmental and social resources (and their Local Designation status should be retained). This would ensure protection was afforded to the wide range of attributes that contributed to, and made up, the open spaces. b) An assessment be undertaken of existing Green Wedge boundaries and a consistent approach be applied to justify definitive lines that would withstand public inquiry scrutiny. c) The individual function of Green Wedge areas within the Taunton Deane Local Plan be identified and stated and that the appropriate policy be separated in two:- i Rural buffers and strategic gaps; and ii Green wedges.

  • A Survey of the Use of Traditional Building Stones in West and South Somerset
    A SURVEY OF THE USE OF TRADITIONAL BUILDING STONES IN WEST AND SOUTH SOMERSET A Report for the South West Heritage Trust by G. J. Dawson and P. Wright Edition 1.1 A SURVEY OF THE USE OF TRADITIONAL BUILDING STONES IN WEST AND SOUTH SOMERSET G. J. Dawson and P. Wright Purpose of the Survey This survey is being carried out by two volunteers for the South West Heritage Trust. It is being undertaken to assist the Trust, and others, with preserving the local character, appearance and distinctiveness of towns and villages in Somerset. Surveys have been completed of Taunton Deane and the Quantock Hills eastwards to the River Parrett. The survey is ongoing and new appendices will be added to this report as surveys of other areas are completed. Current activity is focused on the area of South Somerset west of Yeovil. Survey Method The principal data collected during the survey are of the different types of stone used in the external walls and dressings of buildings and in boundary walls. Blocks of cut stone used at the corners of buildings (quoins) are recorded as part of the external walls. All other stonework, including stonework surrounding openings for windows and doors, are recorded as dressings. At the request of the Trust, data are also collected on the use of other materials for the walls of buildings, such as brick, render and cob, and for roof coverings, such slates, stone and clay tiles, thatch, corrugated iron and asbestos and steel sheeting. Surveys are carried out on a parish by parish basis within the boundaries of each settlement.
