    Ms Valerie Oxley

    Wiltshire Council Cabinet 17 January 2012 Public Participation Statement from Ms Valerie Oxley Proposed Creation of Central Devizes Customer Access Point and the Closure of Browfort, Urchfont Manor and Bradley Road Buildings (Item 9) Statement I am shocked and disappointed to hear that Urchfont College, near Devizes is in danger of closing in September 2012. I have taught 25 courses at Urchfont Manor over a span of 15 years. I have enjoyed working with committed students from the local community and beyond, backed up with superb care in a stunning landscape. I have never thought of the courses I teach at Urchfont Manor College as ‘holidays’, to me they are study weekends with students, people who are keen to learn and develop a skill. A study break at Urchfont Manor can be a life enriching experience, not only as a result of the learning on the course and the meeting and making of new friends, but also the impact of the environment in which this all takes place, the beautiful garden around the Manor, Oakfrith Wood and surrounding fields and delightful village. Urchfont Manor is a unique and outstanding place for adult education, development, training and learning. Closure would have a great impact on the local community. Reputations for continued excellence take years to achieve and maintain. It has been proven that adults learn more quickly in a residential, safe and secure environment, it would be a disaster if the residential adult education provided by Urchfont Manor was to be curtailed. Urchfont Manor can offer more than just a high standard of education, the situation is superb and the staff there are a dedicated team, the food is wholesome and considered by myself and my students as absolutely outstanding.

    Great Western Railway Ships - Wikipedi… Great Western Railway Ships from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia

    5/20/2011 Great Western Railway ships - Wikipedi… Great Western Railway ships From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Great Western Railway’s ships operated in Great Western Railway connection with the company's trains to provide services to (shipping services) Ireland, the Channel Islands and France.[1] Powers were granted by Act of Parliament for the Great Western Railway (GWR) to operate ships in 1871. The following year the company took over the ships operated by Ford and Jackson on the route between Wales and Ireland. Services were operated between Weymouth, the Channel Islands and France on the former Weymouth and Channel Islands Steam Packet Company routes. Smaller GWR vessels were also used as tenders at Plymouth and on ferry routes on the River Severn and River Dart. The railway also operated tugs and other craft at their docks in Wales and South West England.

  • Swindon Bus Station

    Swindon Bus Station

    What is this document? We (primarily Lee) have looked at what the bus network might look like under option 24/7 in a pilot area, at the request of Philip Whitehead (meetings March and April 2016) The area selected was from (in the north) the Bath – Corsham – Chippenham – Calne – Royal Wootton Bassett corridor through to the Bath – Bradford-on-Avon – Trowbridge – Westbury – Warminster corridor to the West, covering all of West Wilts, services within that area out to Devizes. There is always considerable overlap across boundaries with public transport services, so you'll find significant services off the edge listed here, many of which are adjustments of ongoing supported services to continue to provide a logical, useful service. The suggestions here reduce the number of vehicle diagrams in the area from 59 to 52 – a saving of around 14%. The number of drivers required would be reduced somewhat less due to extension of some ENCTS time only services to cover journeys to and from work and in the evening and on Sundays and perhaps where appropriate a night bus. In general, very very few places / streets have lost their services, whilst areas such as the Pewsham Estate in Chippenham and Pickwick Road in Corsham see regular buses return, having been withdrawn under the current system. A number of new journey opportunities are provided too (some significant, some making use of much better bus / train connectivity) but there are cases where a change of vehicle will now be needed in place of a through service. Currently commercial services which thrive as “turn up and go” operations remain hardly changed – we are not proposing messing with what works – keeping the good.

    Shalbourne Vale, Which Extends to the East of the Vale of Pewsey 13.13

    13. LANDSCAPE TYPE 6: VALES Location and Boundaries 13.1. The Vales are defined topographically, and are distinct areas of lowland, almost always below 130m AOD. The transition to these low lying landscapes is often dramatic, marked by a steep scarp slope. The Vale of Pewsey, including its narrow eastern extension towards Shalbourne, separates the two main chalk upland blocks of the Downs. In addition a number of smaller areas of low lying vale landscape occur along the northern and eastern edge of the North Wessex Downs and relate to the adjacent Countryside Character area 108: Upper Thames Clay Vales. Overview The chalk downs form an imposing backdrop to the flat low lying Vales – an example of the dramatic contrast and juxtaposition of landscape character within the North Wessex Downs. The towering slopes of the adjacent chalk scarps forming a dominant ‘borrowed’ landscape setting that contains and enclosing the Vales. Underlain by Greensand, these lowland landscapes are well-watered, with numerous streams issuing at the junction of the chalk and the less permeable underlying rocks and characterised by watercourses meandering across the flat vale floor. Rich loamy and alluvial soils create a productive agricultural landscape, with a mix of both arable and pasture in fields bound by thick, tall hedgerows. Views are constrained and framed by the topography, rising scarp slopes of the downs and low hedgerows, producing a strong sense of enclosure. Woodland cover is sparse, except where linear belts of willow, alder and scrub accentuate the line of the watercourses that thread across the Vales. The streams, remnant waterside pastures and riparian woodlands form a lush ‘wetland’ landscape of considerable ecological value.

    The Cottage, 21, Woodland Road, PATNEY Devizes Wilts SN10 3RD 16th May 2016 Dear Mr Wilmott, Re: PATNEY PLANNING APPLICATION No: 16/03703/FUL I write as the owner of The Cottage, 21, Woodland Road to support most firmly the above application to build at Woodland Road, Patney SN10 3RD a detached specialist dwelling for a disabled person, namely my 3 year old grand-daughter Sophia. In addition, I wish to challenge the Notification of Refusal of Full Planning (Ref No: 15/09830/FUL dated 30 Dec 2015) which gave 3 main reasons (see Paras 1-3 of Notification) to refuse this earlier application as well as recognising that the unique “personal circumstances set out by the Applicant are considered to amount to a relevant material consideration” (See Para 4 of Notification). The 3 reasons for refusal were: 1. Confliction with the Wiltshire Core Strategy (WCS) CPs 51 and 57 as well as Para 115 of the NPPF which “gives great weight to conserving the landscape of areas of outstanding beauty” (AONBs). This assessment conflicts with the North Wessex Downs AONB Director who visited the site last autumn and declared that the proposed site would have only limited impact on the settlement, provided that indigenous trees, hedges and shrubs were place in and around proposed area as well as sympathetic roof tiles and suitable wood-cladding being used. These recommendations are now comprehensively covered in great detail within the new Planning Application documents. 2. “The proposed development would harm the setting of the designated heritage asset at 21, Woodland Road” (ie – The Cottage).
