Introduction This technical paper details an environmental statement undertaken by AP Heritage Ltd to determine the potential for effects on archaeology and cultural heritage assets as an environmental factor by a proposed development at Northern Gateway (former Corus Garden City site), Flintshire (centred on NGR SJ 32297 69670). This takes the form of a desk-based assessment of the outlined application site and its immediate vicinity, and aims to draw on existing information in order to identify the resource in terms of the baseline conditions, and the resultant potential impacts by the development. In this way, the significance of the impact is assessed and relevant recommendations can be made for further work from which a mitigation strategy can be formed. The area of land subject to the proposals is hereinafter referred to in this document as the ‘Scheme Area’. The assessment was carried out by Alison Plummer (AP Heritage Ltd) on behalf of Ian Miller (Senior Project Manager at OA North). Thanks are due to Mark Walters, Planning Archaeologist at the Clwyd/Powys Archaeological Trust (CPAT), for his advice and support. Thanks are also due to Peter DeFigueiredo for providing information relating to the listed buildings within the Scheme Area. In the case of this application, we have not undertaken a detailed Screening or Scoping Opinion Request to the Council. On this basis, Spawforths has sought to confirm with the Council by letter the information to be provided in the Environmental Statement, in accordance with Part 4 (13) of the EIA Regulations, to ensure the scope of the technical chapters and the methodology for assessing the significance of effects is robust. To enable the Council to consider this Spawforths enclosed the following plans and information: • A Location Plan identifying “The Land”; • A description of the nature and purpose of the development including a Character Area Plan; • Topic/Technical Chapters of the ES based on the issues to be assessed; Methodology for the Assessment of Significant Effects in accordance with EIA Regulations; • The cumulative impacts to be considered. The Council subsequently confirmed that they accepted this approach and methodology including the range of environmental issues against which the proposals should be assessed as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment process; a copy of the Council letter confirming this is attached at Appendix 13 of the Part 1 Report of this ES. Pochin Rosemund (Deeside) Ltd, Northern Gateway (former Corus Garden City site) 4 AP Heritage Ltd Whilst a Scoping Opinion was not requested, the Development Control Archaeologist at CPAT has been consulted extensively during the Environmental Impact Assessment and cultural heritage assessments undertaken. Topics and issues discussed covered the heritage assets, include both above and below ground (known and potential) archaeological assets, historic buildings and structures, and historic gardens and landscape. A summary of the consultation process is provided in Section 3 . Pochin Rosemund (Deeside) Ltd, Northern Gateway (former Corus Garden City site) 5 AP Heritage Ltd 2.

  • Public Rights of Way Annual Report Public Rights of Way | 2013-2014 Foreword
    Environment Directorate Public Rights of Way Annual Report Public Rights of Way | 2013-2014 Foreword This is the third Annual report on the public rights of way service. Once again, the All-Wales coastal path has featured prominently in the work programme, but for very different reasons. Few would have anticipated that less than two years after its official launch sections of the coastal path would have fallen victim to the storms that had such a devastating impact on Britain’s coastline during the winter months of 2013 and 2014. Work is already well under way to repair the damage that caused breaches in the path as a result of the severe weather, and several sections of the path have already reopened. Tribute should be paid to Network Rail, Natural Resources Wales, the Council’s Countryside Service and all the relevant landowners for arranging the paths to be reinstated so quickly; and to the Rights of Way Team for swiftly organising the closures of the path to protect the public. In the foreword to the previous Annual Report, brief mention was made of the Burton Point cycleway, which was officially opened in July 2013. This has proved to be a huge success story, with over 10,000 bicyclists using the way in September 2013 alone. The route provides a safe and environmentally sustainable alternative to the A494/A550 trunk road for people living and working on either side of the border, as well as for the many visitors to the area. The County Council continued to receive grant-aid support from Natural Resources Wales to implement its ROWIP programme, support that is much needed in the current financial climate and is set to continue at the same level for the present financial year.

  • Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy
    Environment Directorate Contaminated Land Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy Revision 4 | February 2013 Foreward This Contaminated Land Strategy describes how Flintshire County Council is required to identify sites within its administrative control that may be affected by land contamination. The document also explains the statutory guidance, legislative provisions, processes and procedures that the Council will follow in order to investigate those sites, to identify statutorily Contaminated Land where necessary and to remediate Contaminated Land. The Council first published its Contaminated Land Strategy in September 2002. Since then a number of investigations to assess land contamination have been carried out and significant changes to legislation and guidance documents have taken place. This revision of the Strategy has taken these changes into account and amendments have been made where necessary. This revision of the Strategy replaces all previous revisions of Flintshire County Council’s Contaminated Land Strategy. Flintshire County Council Environment Directorate Public Protection Pollution Control Section Phase 4 County Hall Mold Flintshire CH7 6NH Contaminated Land Strategy Revision 4 February 20 Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy 2 Executive Summary Land can be affected by contamination in the environment as a result of human activity and as a result of natural processes. The presence of contamination may cause harm or present risks to health, animals, buildings or the environment. However, just because contamination is present does not mean that the land is Contaminated Land or that there is a problem. On 1st July 2001, legislation requiring land contamination to be investigated and addressed was enacted in Wales. The legislation is known as Part IIa of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and it introduced a detailed way by which land contamination could be regulated.
