On SUB~ROED LAND-SVRFACES at BARRY, G~AMORGANSHIRE. By A. STRA~, Esq., M.A., F.G.S. ~th NOTES On the FAV~A and Fr.ORA by CLEmEnT REIn, Esq., F.L.S., F.G.S. ; and an APPE~vix on the MicRozoA by Prof. T. R. Jo~s, F.R.S., and F. C~AP~AN, Esq., A.L.S., F.R.~I.S. (Communicated by per- mission of the Director-General of H.M. Geological Survey. Read March 25th, 1896.) BA~Rr Is~.a~'v lies off the northern coast of the Bristol Channel, about 7 miles south-west of Cardiff. Until the year 1884 it was separated from the mainland by ~he tidal estuary of the Cadoxton River on its northern side, and on the east by a tract covered at high water, but in which the solid rock cropped up through the tidal ~ deposits at frequent intervals, the most conspicuous prominences being known as the Coston, Mark, Bendrick, and Black Rocks. In the absence of evidence to the contrary we may assume that the course followed by the river at this time was its original course, for it falls into the general south-westerly direction of the rest of the valley. The numerous outcrops of rock, moreover, in the tidal area east of the island make it unlikely that there was an outlet here of sufficient depth to drain the marshes behind it. This tidal area seems to have been one of three low co/s in the water-parting on the southern side of the Cadoxton Valley. One of these would separate the western par~, or the Litble Island, from the main part~ of Barry Island were it not for a ridge of blown sand; another occurs east of Hayes Farm, where, as shown by the Ordnance level 19 given on the map facing this page, the alluvial marsh of the Cadoxton River closely approaches the present coast. The third, presumably a trifle lower than either of the others, was submerged during the subsidence of the land, of which proof will be given in the following paper. It was therefore as a direct consequence of this subsidence that Barry was separated from Hayes Farm and became an island, while a slight increase in the extent of the movement would have given us three islands instead of one as the result of the submer- gence of the old water-parting. As to the da~e of the insulation of BarD', it will be seen subse- quently that it had not taken place before Neolithic times ; on the other hand the island is, I believe, referred to as such in the earliest historical records. In 1884 the Barry Docks were commenced. The river was diverted from its ancient course and carried to the sea by an artificial cut east of the gap referred to. Its former valley on the northern side of the island was partly filled up and partly excavated to form a deck, the entrances to which were made in the tidal area east of the island, the sea being excluded by a wall. Subsequently a second dock (shown on the map as 'Barry Docks Extension ') was commenced in this reclaimed area, and it was the excavation made Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of California-San Diego on July 15, 2016 ,d, %, ": ,..:- "'"~ ~ f~176176176~ - :..~.

A. 8TRAHAN ON SUBMERGED LAND-BURFACI~IS [Aug. I896, for this purpose that I had the opportunity of examining in the course of my duties on the Geological Survey in 1895. The history of the invasion of the river-valley by the sea through the gap mentioned clearly reveals itself in the sequence of deposits ; but, morethan this, the river-alluvium presents a series of freshwater beds and land-surfaces, whose position in relation to the present sea-level proves that a great change in the level of the land took place during and after Neolithic: times. On some of my visits to the Dock I had the advantage of the assistance of Mr. F.T. Howard, F.G[8., and of Mr. J. Storrie, to the~ latter of whom I am indebted ibr much information respecting the sections exposed in the earlier dock, and also for the identification of some of the specimens from the present excavation. To my colleague Mr. Clement Reid, however, I am indebted for a thorougk examination of the whole of my specimens, and for the identification of both plants and shells, together with critical remarks thereon.. Prof. Rupert Jones, F.R.S., has kindly furnished me with the list of ostracoda, etc., given in the Appendix. The natural topography of the tract is preserved on the 6-inck Ordnance maps, Glamorgan L. and LI. (published 1885, surveyed in 1878), from which the accompanying map (p. 475) has been prepared. The high-water mark of ordinary tides being shown on these maps. in the usual manner, we are able to see that the whole of the new dock is being excavated in ground that was covered at high tide, : though it pretty closely approaches the eastern shore at a point known as Warren Tump (now levelled). The extreme southern point of the dock lies near what was formerly a Shoal known as Coston Rock. In both these parts the excavation is principally in the solid rock, but elsewhere it generally fails to reach the bottom of the alluvial deposits. These may be enumerated as follows :--- 1. Blown Sand. 1 2. ~brob/cu/ar~z,clay. ~ Recent subaerial and tidal deposits. 3. Sand and gravel. Strong line of erosion. 4. Blue silt, with many sedges. 5. The Upper Peat Bed ; about 4 feet below Ordnance-datum. 6. Blue silty clay, with many sedges. 7. The Second Peat, a thin layer only. 8. Blue silty clay, as no. 6. 9. The Third Peat, many large legs and stools, and roots in place underneath; about 20 feet below Ordnance-datum. 10. Blue silty clay, with reeds, willow-leaves, and freshwater shells. 11. The Fourth Peat, with large trees and roots in place. Land-shella numerous. 12. An old soil with roots and land-shells ; about 35 feet below Ordnance- datum. Rock in place. By the kindness of Mr. James Bell, En~neer to the Barry Dock Company, I have been furnished with the following levels :-- Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of California-San Diego on July 15, 2016 Vol. 5~.] A~ ~RRI, aT.~OR~S~IS~. 477 Above Below Ordnance- Ord~ance~ datum. datum. feet. feet.

The blown sand occurs only on the eastern side of the tidal area, whence it was evidently drifted by the south-west winds. The supply was never great, and is now of course entirely cut off. 2. The Scrobicularia-clay occurs in considerable force towards the north-eastern end of the excavation. It is a stiff, brownish clay, jointing vertically as it dries. It contains an abundance of ~crobicularla plans, with the valves united, and in this and other respec~;s resembies the mud which is now being deposited in the more sheltered part~ of the Bristol Channel In the present case it found no rest on the shoals east of the island, but accumulated in some force from near Warren Tump upwards along theriver-valley, as indicated on the map. The greatest thickness seen in the dock was 9 feet. 3. This sand and shingle forms the base of the Scrobicularia-clay, into which it passes insensibly upward. It ranges from 2 to 8 feet in thickness~ according to local circumstances, and is full everywhere of recent shore-shells, all more or less:rolled. Among these the following species have been identified by Mr. Clement Reid:--Scrob~laria Tlana , Tellina balthica (the thin-shelled estuarine form), Gardium edule, Patella vulgata, I, ittorina littorea, L. rudis, and L. obtusata, Southward tMs sandy and gravelly tidal wash extends in a patchy manner among the rocky shoals towards the present foreshore, where it is still in course of formation. The deposits described above were all in process of being laid down, until the area was taken in hand by the Barry Dock Company in 1884. They rest upon a conspicuously eroded surface of the strata about to be described, with which also they contrast :strongly in their contents and character. The erosion is attributable to the scour of the tide when the sea first gained access to the estuary round the eastern end of the island. The series of deposits upon the description of which we n~w :enter forms a continuous sequence from top to bottom. It may gene- rally be described as a mass of fine clayey silt with abundant remains of sedges in the position of growth throughout, and with four or more bands of peat, only three, of whleh, however, are of any importance.

    Barry Bathing Waters Strategy Coastal Modelling as an Integrated Design Tool Nick Barcock - Hyder Consulting Introduction A principal focus of the AMP3 Wastewater Improvement Programme in South East Wales is the achievement of compliance with the Guideline Standards of the EU Bathing Water Directive at the three designated bathing waters at Barry. This is a task that is both large and complex. The highly developed nature of the area, which includes the whole Cardiff conurbation, together with the extreme tidal conditions in the Severn Estuary mean that numerous major continuous urban wastewater discharges and several hundred combined sewer overflows (CSOs) in addition to many more naturally occurring inputs have the potential to impact upon the Barry bathing waters. It was in recognition of the these issues that AMEC, who is Dwr Cymru Welsh Water’s Capital Alliance Partner in South East Wales responsible for delivery of the capital programme, conceived of, and created, the Virtual Design House (‘The Welsh Water Capital Alliance ‘Virtual Design House’; Mike Jones (AMEC), WaPUG Presentation Nov 2002). The Virtual Design House (VDH) comprises the amalgamated resources of four consultants in South Wales (Arup, Black & Veatch Consulting, Hyder Consulting and Montgomery Watson Harza), AMEC, Black and Veatch Contracting and United Utilities Operational Services. The VDH can also call upon the international resources and expertise of these global organisations as-and-when required. A cornerstone of the strategy for addressing the issues associated with the Barry bathing waters was the construction of a detailed two dimensional hydrodynamic and dispersion model of the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary.

These were originally developed from the Landscapes Working for the Vale of Glamorgan study published in 1999. This study has been carried out in response to two factors namely:- i) LANDMAP methodology - the original study was carried out using the then, emerging newly developed LANDMAP methodology. Since then much of the Welsh landscape has been assessed using LANDMAP and this resulted in a review and updating of the methodology in 2003. In addition, the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) introduced a quality assessment programme whereby all LANDMAP studies have been reviewed against the 2003 methodology. The Council has recently updated its LANDMAP Information System against this method which has resulted in some instances in amendment to aspect areas, a revision of boundaries and amended evaluation levels. ii) The Council have also commenced the preparations of the Local Development Plan which will replace the current Unitary Development Plan.

  • Local Development Plan 2011- 2026 Local Development Plan Written Statement June 2017 Foreword
    Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan 2011- 2026 Local Development Plan Written Statement June 2017 Foreword I am pleased to introduce the Local Development Plan which provides a framework for sustainable development within the Vale of Glamorgan up to 2026. It is an extremely important Policy document that will guide the growth of the Vale of Glamorgan over a fifteen year period and identifies the infrastructure needs of our communities in terms of employment, facilities and services needed to support that growth. In setting this framework for the future development of the Vale of Glamorgan, we have been mindful of the need to regenerate and support our communities and in doing so the Plan seeks to achieve a balance between economic growth, social cohesion and environmental impact. Wherever possible the Plan’s emphasis is on re-using previously developed land and minimising the need to develop on green fields. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Barry where the emphasis is very much on the continued regeneration of the Waterfront. In addition, we have ensured that sufficient emphasis is being placed on providing for an appropriate level of growth in other communities throughout the Vale thereby ensuring their long term sustainability and vitality. In reading the document you will see that the evidence base that has informed the Plan and its policies is wide ranging and robust. I am particularly pleased that in progressing this Plan we have been able to comprehensively identify and allocate land for the services and facilities that will be needed to support additional residential and employment growth during the Plan period.

  • Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy Vale of Glamorgan
    The Vale of Glamorgan Council/Cyngor Bro Morgannwg Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy February 2005 VALE OF GLAMORGAN COUNCIL CONTAMINATED LAND INSPECTION STRATEGY JANUARY 2005 First Prepared by Michael Jenkins - April 2001 Contaminated Land Officer Reviewed by George Cowie Pollution Control Officer Executive Summary This Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy has been prepared by the Vale of Glamorgan Council to fulfil the legal requirement of Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Pt IIA came into force on the 1st July 2001 and provided a new regulatory standard for the identification and remediation of historically contaminated land. This strategy document updates the previous strategy document, which was first published in April 2002, and details the methodology to be employed by the Vale of Glamorgan Council to implement it's duties under Part IIA of The Environmental Protection Act (EPA), 1990. The document reveals the inspection process and sets time scales for completion that will be used by the Vale of Glamorgan Council. The EPA defines contaminated land as any land where there appears to be a significant risk of significant harm to human health and or controlled waters due to substances in, on or under the land. In determining whether land is contaminated local authorities, including the Vale of Glamorgan, must use the principle of Pollutant Linkage. That is a link must be found between a source of potential contamination and a receptor, such as a watercourse or future or current users of a site. All three parts of the linkage, that is source, pathway and receptor, must be present before any land can be designated as contaminated.

Otter cub self portrait using a trail-master camera trap (A. Harrington) 2 OTTER SURVEY OF WALES 2009 - 10 Foreword This report on the Otter Survey of Wales 2009-10 is dedicated to the memory of Rob Strachan, the co-ordinator and project manager for the Survey on behalf of the Environment Agency Wales (EAW), and outstanding field naturalist and mammal specialist. Rob tragically died in May 2014 after a short illness with cancer, and didn’t live to see this final report produced – I am very grateful to his close colleagues in Natural Resources Wales (successor to EAW) for pulling the threads of the survey results and draft report together and ensuring that the fruits of this endeavour are presented in this valuable and excellent report. Rob’s career was very much one of applying science to the practice and art of conservation, and of sharing his wealth of knowledge and expertise with others. Rob led or partnered on a number of national mammal surveys for otters, water voles and pine marten over a period spanning three decades. He was a key player in identifying and highlighting the decline of water voles at a national level, and in developing an understanding of the causes of their decline and the measures to address them, not least through his many years with the team of researchers at Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit.
