  • Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2
    Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2 WWW.SOMERSET.GOV.UK WELCOME TO THE 2ND SOMERSET RIGHTS OF WAY IMPROVEMENT PLAN Public Rights of Way are more than a valuable recreational resource - they are also an important asset in terms of the rural economy, tourism, sustainable transport, social inclusion and health and well being. The public rights of way network is key to enabling residents and visitors alike to access services and enjoy the beauty of Somerset’s diverse natural and built environment. Over the next few years, the focus is going to be chiefly on performing our statutory duties. However, where resources allow we will strive to implement the key priority areas of this 2nd Improvement Plan and make Somerset a place and a destination for enjoyable walking, riding and cycling.

  • Sweeg Scientists' Annual Report
    SWEEG Scientists’ Annual Report 1997/98 SWEEG SCIENTISTS’ ANNUAL REPORT 1997-8 1 SWEEG Scientists’ Annual Report 1997/98 Facing Page Blank 2 SWEEG Scientists’ Annual Report 1997/98 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This Annual Report presents a résumé of work undertaken at the Centre for Energy and the Environment during the past twelve months. The publications list at the end of the report serves to indicate our earlier work. The projects described in the report are summarised below. Sound Transmission Between Dwellings Neighbourhood noise is an environmental pollutant which can have a serious impact on residents’ contentment. Following a literature survey, a report was produced providing guidance on designing buildings that minimise sound transmission between dwellings. The importance of high-mass or multi-layered constructions was noted, along with the need to reflect sound back towards the source. REVERB—Reverberation Time Software Development Continuing development of the Centre’s reverberation time software has added the ability to automatically calculate reverberation times for a range of different numbers of occupants. This is of particular relevance when studying multipurpose school halls. Acoustic Study of Torbay Council Meeting Rooms Reverberation time tests were conducted in two rooms which were known to have poor acoustic qualities. Both had longer than optimal reverberation times. Guidance was given as to how the acoustics of the spaces could be improved. Improving the Design of High Performance Buildings The addition of an optimisation routine to the Centre’s thermal building model has produced a tool which is able to identify a range of highly energy efficient buildings, which meet certain prescribed criteria.

I have a great deal of concern that my area that has been bundled in with a large area of the town centre. When yo7 leave the town and start down South Road there is a feeling of leaving the town as you go over the slight rise and pass Tauntfield (not Tauntfield Close, Tauntfield is past Tauntfield and set back from the road.) Killams and Mountfields has an established residents association, all be it a bit up and down depending on what is going on! It has its own community around our local shops and post office which are all strongly supported, there is a feel of a suburb, a feeling of being outside of town. I am happy that the roads in Trinity area are returning to what was Eastgate ward, there only moved across a few years ago and the area has not managed to build any links across as they look to Eastgate as their community.

It has been working hard to address the shortage of affordable housing within a predominantly rural area. The area covered by the project displays an extreme disparity between incomes and house prices, which makes it hard for many to gain secure footing within the housing market. The Rural Housing Project is designed to help promote and deliver affordable rural housing strategically across the project area and helps deliver Exmoor National Park housing policies within the Park. This is being achieved by informing people about affordable rural housing, providing help and advice, carrying out research at parish level to assess the affordable housing need and bringing together the community and various partners to help deliver housing where it is needed. One of the tasks for the project is to work with the Parish Council and the local community to assist them in carrying out a housing needs survey, in order to identify whether there is a need for affordable housing for local people in the parish. Colin Savage, Rural Housing Enabler Page 2 BROMPTON RALPH AND CLATWORTHY HOUSING NEEDS SURVEY Introduction Brompton Ralph is a village and civil parish in West Somerset, about 11 miles west of Taunton, and 3 miles north of Wiveliscombe.
