Environmental Statement Wentlooge Renewable Energy Hub • Policy GP2 General Development Principles – General Amenity states “Development will be permitted where, as applicable: ii) The proposed use and form of development will not be detrimental to the visual amenities of nearby occupiers or the character or appearance of the surrounding area.” • Policy GP5 General Development Principles – Natural Environment states “Development will be permitted where, as applicable: v) There would be no unacceptable impact on landscape quality; vi) The proposal includes an appropriate landscape scheme, which enhances the site and the wider context including green infrastructure and biodiversity networks; vii) The proposal includes appropriate tree planting or retention where appropriate and does not result in the unacceptable loss of or harm to trees, woodland or hedgerows that have wildlife or amenity value.” • Policy CE4 Historic Landscapes, Parks, Gardens and Battlefields states that “sites included in the register of landscapes, parks and gardens of special historic interest and identified historic battlefields should be protected, conserved, enhanced and where appropriate, restored. Attention will also be given to their setting.” • Policy CE10 Renewable Energy states “renewable energy schemes will be considered favourably, subject to there being no over-riding environmental and amenity considerations…. Large scale proposals may be more appropriately located outside of the defined settlement boundary if no appropriate brownfield sites exist. The cumulative impacts of renewable energy schemes will be an important consideration.” • Policy T7 Public Rights of Way and New Development states that “any public footpath, bridleway or cycleway affected by development proposals will require retention or the provision of a suitable alternative. Provision of additional routes, where appropriate, will be sought in new developments, with linkages to the existing network.” Assessment methodology Wentlooge Farmers' Solar Scheme Limited 126 Environmental Statement Wentlooge Renewable Energy Hub ▪ A review of landscape designations and planning policies for the landscape, as indicators of landscape value, and of other landscape studies relevant to the area, including LANDMAP and local landscape character assessments. ▪ A survey of the site and landscape context study areas and inspection of views of the site from publicly accessible viewpoints, including a photographic survey, undertaken during April, May and October 2019. ▪ Evaluation of the features and elements of the landscape and their contribution to the landscape character, context and setting, based on these studies. ▪ Analysis of the development proposals and consideration of potential landscape and visual effects of the proposed development. ▪ Assessment of the sensitivity of the landscape to the changes likely to arise from the development. ▪ Identification of the extent of theoretic visibility of the development and potentially sensitive viewers or valued view locations, supported by a viewpoint analysis. ▪ Consideration of proposals for mitigation measures to avoid, reduce or offset significant adverse effects. ▪ Assessment of magnitude of change and significance of effects on the landscape and on visual amenity, with the mitigation proposals in place. Wentlooge Farmers' Solar Scheme Limited 127 Environmental Statement Wentlooge Renewable Energy Hub ▪ AVR Level 1: Location, size and degree of visibility of proposal. This shows the massing of the proposal within a 3D context represented by the photograph - that is, what can and cannot be seen. ▪ AVR Level 3: As level 2 + use of materials. This is a fully rendered photomontage, usually photo-realistic with texture, shading and reflections as appropriate.

  • Wentlooge Level

    Wentlooge Level

    Great Archaeological Sites in Newport 3. THE WENTLOOGE LEVEL Archaeology is the study of the physical remains of human activity, and whilst we normally think of it as dealing with individual sites and artefacts, it also works on a larger scale too – the appearance of the landscape itself is the result of the way people have managed it over the centuries. Nowhere is this clearer than on the Gwent Levels, the swathes of land that have been reclaimed from the sea on either side of Newport, the Caldicot Level to the east and the Wentlooge Level to the west. Saltmarshes – areas of salt-tolerant vegetation that are covered by the sea at times of high tide – have always been used to pasture suitable livestock, but this interaction with the sea means there are times when grazing is not possible. In order to convert them to pasture that can be used all the time, it is necessary to get rid of the excess of water. Building sea walls excludes the sea, but steps also have to be taken to drain off the streams of water that come from the land, which would otherwise flood the newly-enclosed fields. This was done by digging channels to capture the streams and control their waters. On the Gwent Levels, these channels are traditionally called ‘reens’. A network of reens divides the Wentlooge Level into rectangular fields; the smaller reens feed into larger reens until the water eventually arrives at the coast where the reens discharge into the sea. They do this through sluice gates, which are opened or closed depending on the state of the tides so that water from the land can drain away without allowing the sea to come in.

    Monmouthshire (VC35) Rare Plant Register

    Monmouthshire (VC35) Rare Plant Register April 2019 Steph Tyler Elsa Wood Monmouthshire County Rare Plant Register Stephanie J. Tyler Elsa Wood Text editing Barbara Brown April 2019 Cover: Orobanche minor – Common Broomrape or Gorfanhadlen. Image: Elsa Wood Monmouthshire Rare Plant Register 2019 MONMOUTHSHIRE VICE-COUNTY 35 RARE PLANT REGISTER This edition updates the first Rare Plant Register produced by Trevor Evans (Evans 2007). Some additional species have been included whereas others have been removed. The reasons for these changes are given below. Rare and Scarce species In the RPR by Evans (2007) there are several species which have since been found to be more widespread in vc35 than previously thought. These, Ranunculus lingua Greater Spearwort ( widely planted), Iris foetidissima Stinking Iris, Echium vulgare Viper’s Bugloss, Chrysosplenium alternifolium Alternate-leaved Golden Saxifrage, Crepis biennis Rough Hawk’s-beard, Myriophyllum spicatum Spiked Water-milfoil , Samolus valerandi Brookweed, Frangula alnus Alder Buckthorn, Poa angustifolia Narrow-leaved Meadow-grass, Puccinellia distans Reflexed Saltmarsh Grass and Populus nigra ssp.betulifolia Black Poplar are no longer included in this revised RPR as occur at more than 10 sites. Moreover, Anacamptis pryamidalis Pyramidal Orchid occurs at almost 40 sites. The revised RPR recognises locally rare species, both Natives and Archaeophyes, as those that are found in up to three sites in VC35 and locally scarce species which occur in up to 10 sites. Several have been moved from locally rare to locally scarce e.g. Anthemis cotula. Species such as Littorella uniflora Shoreweed with 11 records are therefore not included. Some other species, whilst being recorded at more than 10 sites, are considered under threat in a GB or Welsh context and therefore these have been included in this Register.
