Note: These pages have been copied from the original sightings page and some links will no longer work. All images of butterflies or moths have been removed, but most can be found in the Photo House December 2006 Thursday 28th December When you think it is all over for sightings of butterflies this year, it isn't! On the way to Kew Gardens for the ice skating today the 28th December on the Chiswick roundabout, I spotted a Red Admiral flying past. Then while waiting for the children to get their boots on at the ice rink another Red Admiral flew past, probably disturbed from it's hibernation from the massive influx of people, or the fact it was a very warm day for this time of year? If this is the result of global warming, well it's not all bad!! Helen George My father told me that he saw a butterfly in Bronte Paths, Stevenage this morning. I assume it was a Red Admiral (just hope it wasnt a wind blown leaf!. It was very warm today, with lots of insects and one or two bees in my garden but despite all my attention no butterflies appeared - Phil Bishop Tuesday 26th December I enjoyed today even more with a totally unexpected Red Admiral flying along the eaves of my house and then the neighbours, at about 10.45 this am - weather was grey, dull and 5C.

  • Green Space Strategy 2011 - 2016
    Green Space Strategy 2011 - 2016 January 2011 Green Space Strategy 2011 - 2016 GreenGreen Space Space Strategy Strategy 2011 2011 - 2016 - 2016 Our Vision In Dacorum, we aspire to protect and enhance our natural environment, heritage and habitats. With the involvement of the community, we will create attractive, sustainable, accessible and well-managed green spaces. Foreword Dacorum benefits from a tremendous resource of high quality parks and recreation areas, set within some of the most remarkable landscapes in the country. Our fantastic green spaces are one of the main reasons people choose to live, work, and visit here. This strategy sets out our commitment to manage and protect this legacy, to ensure it remains intact for current and future generations. The quality of some of Dacorum’s green spaces has deteriorated over time through the ageing of facilities and infrastructure, and new investment is required. This strategy gives us the impetus and tools to improve their quality and to help deliver what local communities want from their neighbourhoods. We will improve facilities, and encourage residents to become more involved in managing their local green spaces. We aim to balance the needs of the community with the demands on our service, working wherever possible to combat climate change and alleviate the pressures of the modern age. We have a number of challenges to face in the future, not least in providing enough homes for the community. This strategy provides a strong framework to help manage, refresh, and create new green spaces.

  • Urban Nature Conservation Study
    DACORUM BOROUGH COUNCIL URBAN NATURE CONSERVATION STUDY Hertfordshire Biological Records Centre March 2006 DACORUM BOROUGH COUNCIL URBAN NATURE CONSERVATION STUDY Hertfordshire Biological Records Centre March 2006 SUMMARY Purpose of study The environment is one of the four main drivers of sustainable development, and in this context biodiversity needs to be fully integrated into planning policy and delivery. As part of the new planning system known as the Local Development Framework, information on urban wildlife is fundamental given the pressure on land resources in and around our towns. The aims of the study are: ‘To provide a well reasoned and coherent strategy for the protection and enhancement of key wildlife areas and network of spaces / natural corridors within the towns and large villages of Dacorum’. The Dacorum Urban Nature Conservation Study considers the wildlife resources within the six major settlements in Dacorum, namely Berkhamsted, Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead, Kings Langley, Markyate and Tring. They were mapped using existing habitat information, additional sites identified from aerial photo interpretation and local knowledge. The areas adjacent to each settlement – up to a distance of 1km – were also mapped in a similar fashion to place the urban areas within the context of their surrounding environments. This process identified the most important sites already known such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest, local sites meeting minimum standards known as ‘Wildlife Sites’, and other sites or features of more local significance within the urban areas known collectively as ‘Wildspace’. These incorporated Hertfordshire Biological Record Centre’s ‘Ecology Sites’ where appropriate, old boundary features such as hedgerows and tree lines, as well as significant garden areas or open spaces which may survive.

  • 3 SA Framework
    DEF comments on Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report (Extracts from Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report, with section numbers, in black) (DEF comments in Green) 3 SA Framework 3.1 Environmental and Sustainability Objectives Current guidance on SA/SEA of land use and spatial plans advocates the use of objectives in the appraisal process. A framework of objectives, criteria and indicators (the ‘SA Framework’) was used during the SA of the Core Strategy 2013 and Site Allocations DPD 2014. That SA Framework, which was originally developed in 2006, formed the ‘starting point’ for the SA Framework for the new Local Plan and has been modified in order to remove some duplication and to add additional criteria that were not fully covered by the previous framework. The sustainability objectives are quite distinct from the Local Plan objectives. They focus on outcomes, and define the basis for achieving social, economic and environmental sustainable development. They have been compiled using information from the review of relevant plans and programmes, baseline review and review of key issues. The purpose of the SA Framework is to provide a way in which the effects of the plan can be described, analysed, and compared. This process involves considering the content of the Local Plan against the identified SA/SEA objectives. The sustainability objectives included in the SA Framework are arranged under SEA/SA topics. The topics selected cover the topics listed in the SEA Directive and Sustainability Appraisal of Regional Spatial Strategies and Local Development Documents, ODPM, November 2005. The SA Framework contains a high level objective for each topic, supported by a set of more detailed sub-objectives (appraisal criteria) for use when assessing Plan policies and considering wider whole- Plan effects.

As you will read under the individual species this had a significant effect on the fortunes of many of our species. Overall it was a good year but alarm bells are still ringing for the Peacock, Small and Essex Skipper and there are signs that the Comma may be about to have difficulties. This publication can only exist due to the efforts of over 900 enthusiastic volunteers (see the list on the back cover) who have contributed 23000+ records. The huge increase since 2010 is mainly due to records received from the Big Butterfly Count that took place in the summer.

  • Management Plan 2013 - 2017
    MANAGEMENT PLAN 2013 - 2017 Chipperfield Common Management Plan 2017 1 Welcome to the Chipperfield Common Green Flag Management Plan Over the past five years Chipperfield Common has achieved the prestigious Green Flag Award in each successive year. This achievement has been made possible by following a robust and well-structured five year management plan and with the help of the people of Chipperfield. Working in partnership with DBC, on all aspects of The Common, Chipperfield Parish Council strives to maintain the delicate balance between the needs of the residents and visitors whilst at the same time preserving the natural environment of The Common. The aim of this five year management plan is to maintain the overall ethos and build upon the experience gained over the past five years. Driven by the Green Flag Award Scheme the Chipperfield Common Management Plan is reviewed each year but is constantly monitored to ensure that the overall aims and objects are being met. We believe that this management plan meets all the above objectives and will ensure that The Common continues to be held in high esteem and provide enjoyment for all. Harry Laverack, Chairman – February 2013 On behalf of Chipperfield Parish Council Chipperfield Common has been managed over the last five years through a collaborative partnership between Dacorum Borough and Chipperfield Parish Councils, this has allowed for local sensitivities to be respected and led to Chipperfield receiving the prestigious Green Flag award with improved marks every year since 2008. During that period The Friends of Chipperfield Common have been formed and now number more than forty local residents.
