  • Cetaceans of South-West England
    CETACEANS OF SOUTH-WEST ENGLAND This region encompasses the Severn Estuary, Bristol Channel and the English Channel east to Seaton on the South Devon/Dorset border. The waters of the Western Approaches of the English Channel are richer in cetaceans than any other part of southern Britain. However, the diversity and abundance declines as one goes eastwards in the English Channel and towards the Severn Estuary. Seventeen species of cetacean have been recorded in the South-west Approaches since 1980; nine of these species (32% of the 28 UK species) are present throughout the year or recorded annually as seasonal visitors. Thirteen species have been recorded along the Channel coast or in nearshore waters (within 60 km of the coast) of South-west England. Seven of these species (25% of the 28 UK species) are present throughout the year or are recorded annually. Good locations for nearshore cetacean sightings are prominent headlands and bays. Since 1990, bottlenose dolphins have been reported regularly nearshore, the majority of sightings coming from Penzance Bay, around the Land’s End Peninsula, and St. Ives Bay in Cornwall, although several locations along both north and south coasts of Devon are good for bottlenose dolphin. Cetaceans can also been seen in offshore waters. The main species that have been recorded include short- beaked common dolphins and long-finned pilot whales. Small numbers of harbour porpoises occur annually particularly between October and March off the Cornish & Devon coasts. CETACEAN SPECIES REGULARLY SIGHTED IN THE REGION Fin whale Balaenoptera physalus Rarer visitors to offshore waters, fin whales have been sighted mainly between June and December along the continental shelf edge at depths of 500-3000m.

  • Ancient Market Towns and Beautiful Villages
    Ancient Market Towns and Beautiful Villages Wiltshire is blessed with a fantastic variety of historic market towns and stunning picturesque villages, each one with something to offer. Here are a sample of Wiltshire’s beautiful market towns and villages. Amesbury Nestling within a loop of the River Avon alongside the A303, just 1½ miles from Stonehenge, historic Amesbury is a destination not to be missed. With recent evidence of a large settlement from 8820BC and a breath-taking Mesolithic collection, Amesbury History Centre will amaze visitors with its story of the town where history began. Bradford on Avon The unspoilt market town of Bradford on Avon offers a mix of delightful shops, restaurants, hotels and bed and breakfasts lining the narrow streets, not to mention a weekly market on Thursdays (8am-4pm). Still a natural focus at the centre of the town, the ancient bridge retains two of its 13th century arches and offers a fabulous view of the hillside above the town - dotted with the old weavers' cottages – and the river bank flanked by 19th century former cloth mills. Calne Calne evolved during the 18th and 19th centuries with the wool industry. Blending the old with the new, much of the original Calne is located along the River Marden where some of the historic buildings still remain. There is also the recently restored Castlefields Park with nature trails and cycle path easily accessible from the town centre. Castle Combe Set within the stunning Wiltshire Cotswolds, Castle Combe is a classically quaint English village. Often referred to as the ‘prettiest village in England’, it has even been featured regularly on the big screen – most recently in Hollywood blockbuster ‘The Wolfman’ and Stephen Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’.

  • Outline of Interim Housing Package for the West of England
    OUTLINE OF INTERIM HOUSING PACKAGE FOR THE WEST OF ENGLAND 1. INTRODUCTION The West of England – comprising Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset– is a high housing demand area with ambitious proposals for housing growth. The authorities are already taking forward a joint statutory spatial plan. This agreement lays the foundations for an increase in housing delivery and a strengthened, long-term partnership between Government, Homes England and the West of England Combined Authority (WECA), working with North Somerset. This represents the next step in developing a housing deal for the West of England, with the full deal to be agreed later in the year. 2. WEST OF ENGLAND COMMITMENTS The West of England commits to: An ambition to accelerate housing delivery to 7500 homes per year in the early years of the JSP Plan period between 2018/19-2020/21, contingent on the additional support as set out below from Government and partners to support housing delivery. Working closely with government and Homes England to develop the deal and to increase housing delivery in the West of England 3. GOVERNMENT SUPPORT TO THE WEST OF ENGLAND The Government will commit to: Capacity Funding totalling £3m to establish a strategic delivery team to progress large sites for housing development. Taking the Housing Infrastructure Fund Forward Funding bids for Bristol Temple Meads to Keynsham Strategic Growth Corridor and Enabling Infrastructure for M5 – A38 Strategic Development Locations through to co-development – the next stage of the competitive HIF process.

E1.2 The main element of aggregates production in the West of England (WoE) is primary crushed rock from quarries in North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (South Glos), with much smaller contributions from marine dredged sand and gravel from the Bristol Channel, landed at Avonmouth, and from recycled aggregate (estimated). This is shown by Table E1 and the dashboard E2 below. There are no land-won sand and gravel resources in WoE. Production of secondary aggregate in 2016 was limited, mainly comprising aggregate produced from incinerator bottom ash by a firm at Avonmouth.

It discusses its initiation, modification and highlights the Examining Inspectors’ views during its development. The latest GB reviews undertaken by the West of England Joint Spatial Plan (JSP) in 2015 and 2016 and the further detailed site/area specific work undertaken on cell 74c by the Landmark Practice in 2017 are considered. Feedback is also provided by The Landmark Practice on the Landscape Sensitivity Assessment by Wardell Armstrong. The GB initially excluded any of the land being promoted, then included only the western half. During development of GB policy Examining Inspectors questioned the need for some areas at Portishead to be included.

    Meeting: Policy Development and Decision Group (Joint Operations Team) Date: 3rd September 2018 Wards Affected: All Report Title: “Transport for the South West Peninsula” Sub-national Transport Body Is the decision a key decision? Yes/No (delete as appropriate) When does the decision need to be implemented? On or before 2nd October 2018 Executive Lead Contact Details: Cllr Robert Excell, Executive Lead for Community Services, [email protected] Supporting Officer Contact Details: Kevin Mowat, Executive Head of Assets and Business Services, [email protected] 1. Proposal and Introduction 1.1. The Council has been requested to approve the formation of a shadow sub-national transport body (STB) for the South West Peninsula by entering an informal partnership with other authorities in the South West and key agencies responsible for infrastructure investment. The STB will be the principal mechanism for dialogue with Government regarding strategic transport investment in area. 1.2. There is a consensus amongst South West authorities that forming two bodies, initially as informal partnerships; would be the most effective way to swiftly put in place a clear mechanism for Government to engage formally with us on strategic transport investment matters, including use of a new roads fund to improve the major road network. The respective STBs can decide on the most appropriate progression after the informal partnership has been set up but this could include gaining Statutory Status. 1.3. The Council will work with Cornwall, Plymouth, Devon, Somerset and Dorset to form the South West Peninsula STB. At the same time, work is progressing to form the Western Gateway STB for the remainder of the South West comprising Gloucestershire, BANES, Poole, Bournemouth, Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and the West of England Combined Authority.

  • West of England Joint Planning Strategy February 2014
    West of England Joint Planning Strategy February 2014 Introduction 1. The four local planning authorities of Bath & NE Somerset, Bristol City, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire which comprise the West of England will continue to work together with the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership, Local Nature Partnership, neighbouring authorities, Government agencies, and other public bodies on strategic cross-boundary matters. Joint working will continue to take place constructively, actively and on an ongoing basis to deliver effective strategic planning to support sustainable development. 2. We demonstrate this through the West of England authorities working together to produce: • A new West of England Strategic Housing Market Assessment to replace the 2009 SHMA using the most up to date evidence available. • A joint planning strategy to guide future growth and development across the West of England The West of England SHMA 3. The new West of England SHMA will cover the period 2016 -2036. This will provide the strategic context for the review and roll-forward of local plans. The four authorities will prioritise and resource this process to ensure that a robust SHMA is finalised by spring 2015. The replacement SHMA will provide a key evidence base for the review of strategic policies of the West of England Local Plans. 4. To facilitate this, the West of England authorities will prioritise and resource a joint process of assessing the implications of the SHMA outputs. This will provide an opportunity for each Council to work with the other West of England Unitary Authorities in identifying future needs and pursuing complementary strategies capable of delivering and supporting economic and social growth across the sub-region.
