YGC have been commissioned by the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Planning Policy Unit (JPPU) to undertake a feasibility study to determine the suitability of three potential sites within the Pwllheli area for potential inclusion in the JLDP. This report provides a summary of the studies that have been undertaken and presents the findings. The main aim of this report is to provide a summary of the studies that have been undertaken and present the findings about the three sites’ suitability for development during the JLDP period and their potential to be extended beyond the JLDP period. The following elements have been considered: • Transportation and movement; • Utilities capacity; • Landscape and visual character; • Ecology; • Archaeology, and; • Arboriculture. At this stage, the developments have not been firmly defined so there is an element of uncertainty regarding the extent of the associated impacts. However, a precautionary approach has been adopted to ensure that any potential features that could be affected have been identified where possible. Further surveys are recommended where relevant, once formal access to the sites has been obtained and development proposals defined. The constraints and opportunities for each site, as well as indicative development principles, are included in Section 4 of the report. Constraints include access limitations along the minor roads, sensitive landscape receptors and uses and protected species. However, there are also potential opportunities as a result of proactively addressing the constraints in order to enhance any developments at each site.

The JLDP will replace the Gwynedd Unitary Development Plan (UDP) when adopted. YGC have been commissioned by the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Planning Policy Unit (JPPU) to undertake a feasibility study to determine the suitability of three potential sites within the Pwllheli area for potential inclusion in the JLDP. The three sites are all located to the north of Pwllheli, as shown on Figure 1. Site 1 Site 3 Site 2 Figure 1: Location of the three study sites in Pwllheli 1.1 Aims and Objectives In order to meet the aim of providing informed and justified policy-based allocations within the JLDP the main objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive evidence base about the three sites’ suitability for development during the JLDP period and their potential to be extended beyond the JLDP period. YGC Page 6 of 85 CPF: 4444 - Scoping of Potential Development Sites: Pwllheli Development Appraisal Report Client: Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Planning Policy Unit Version 0.02 Current evidence suggests a requirement to accommodate new housing units in Pwllheli. The JPPU is currently considering representations made during the public consultation period about the JLDP Preferred Strategy as well as the emerging 2011 population and household projections. Therefore, the exact figure of housing units has not yet been confirmed and the proposed target may rise as the potential for long term growth must also be considered. However it has been agreed that the recent example of Penrhosgarnedd can be used to provide an indicative example of the number potentially provided at each site, as follows (note that these figures are indicative only and subject to change): • Site 1 (North of Coleg Meirion Dwyfor): 374 houses • Site 2 (Penrallt): 100 houses • Site 3 (Allt Fawr): 60 houses In addition to housing, the Employment Land Review has revealed a need for a 5ha site for employment purposes. The following elements were required to be considered within this study: Transportation and movement: assess vehicular access and the impact on existing roads, and any recommendations for improvement to all forms of transportation linkages around and through the sites; Utilities capacity: identify the location and capacity of existing services (gas, electricity supply, telecommunications and water supply) in conjunction with service providers and determine possible reinforcement needs, connection points, and possible timescales and costs; Landscape and visual character: assess the overall sensitivity and capacity of the locality to establish whether or not the landscape can accommodate development-related change; Ecology: identify the potential biodiversity issues and impacts that could arise as a result of development; Archaeology: preliminary assessment of the potential for on-site archaeological remains and potential impact on these remains (if any exist) as well as off-site archaeological remains and cultural heritage resources; Arboricultural: assess the suitability for development in respect of potential effects on tree stock This report aims to provide a clear audit trail of the evidence gathered during the desk study, field study and appropriate consultation.

  • DWYRYD ESTUARY and MORFA HARLECH Component Lcas (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component Lcas (Gwynedd): Porthmadog
    SEASCAPE CHARACTER AREA 21: DWYRYD ESTUARY AND MORFA HARLECH Component LCAs (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component LCAs (Gwynedd): Porthmadog Location and Context This SCA is located in the northern part of the west Snowdonia coast. It includes the Dwyryd estuary from its mouth near Porthmadog to its inland tidal limit at Tan-y-bwlch. It also includes Morfa Harlech on the southern shore of the estuary, and the towns of Harlech and Penrhyndeudraeth. To the north is SCA 20: Porthmadog and Glaslyn Estuary, to the west is SCA 19: Criccieth to Mochras, and to the south is SCA 22: Mochras to Fairbourne and Sarn Badrig. View across the Dwyryd Estuary from Ynys, showing intertidal habitats, the village of Portmeirion and the mountains of Snowdonia forming the backdrop. Image © Fiona Fyfe Summary Description Views of this SCA are dominated by the broad landform of the Dwyryd estuary, with its extensive salt marshes, sand, mud and dune system (Morfa Harlech). The estuary also contains distinctive ‘islands’ and ridges of higher ground on either side. Overlooking the estuary are the contrasting villages of Harlech (with its Medieval castle on the valley side), Portmeirion with its Italianate architecture, and the industrial village of Penrhyndeudraeth. Surrounding the estuary are the wooded hills of Snowdonia, which form a majestic backdrop to picturesque views from lower land. In the eastern part of SCA, the valley narrows as the river flows inland. Here, the Afon Dwyryd has been heavily modified flows between areas of improved grazing, with main roads on both sides of the valley floor.

  • Taith Pererin 2 Basingwerk Abbey Saturday 3
    Taith Pererin 2 Basingwerk Abbey Saturday 3 May - Departure Over 20 Pilgrims and supporters have set off from Basingwerk Abbey this morning after a few words of prayer led by Chris. We stop at Pantasaph Priory for lunch, then continue via the Roman Pharos in Coed y Garreg and the magnificent Celtic cross at Maen Achwyfan, to Llanasa, where we take a rest in the memorial garden by the church before continuing to Trelawnyd, which we reach about 5:30. A long first day, highlights including orange-tip butterflies in the woods above St Winefride's Well, the first early purple orchid, gorse now in flower everywhere and an imminent explosion of May blossom. These two scents will now accompany us for the next 11 days as we make our way steadily westwards. We now have our Pilgrim Passports, and Jenny nobly carries the new stamps in her rucksack. These will, in due course, be left in churches and communities, shops, pubs, cafés for all to record their progress along the Way. It's an early (8:30) start from Trelawnyd tomorrow, due to the need to be in St Asaph Cathedral by 3:30 for the service marking the culmination of the Diocesan Year of Pilgrimage. Sunday 4 May - Howard's Tree It's an earlier start this morning after the now customary transport shuffle. We leave Trelawnyd at 8:30 and make better progress than yesterday, soon reaching the top of Rhuallt Hill. There are some really eccentric garden ornaments around Rhuallt - one chap has a Spitfire and a dinosaur (which has acquired a baby since last year), while his neighbour has (among others) John Wayne on horseback, Barack Obama on a park bench, three Jedi Warriors and King Kong.

  • A Case Study from the Lleyn Peninsula, Wales
    51 4. Historical reconstruction from micromorphology: a case study from the Lleyn Peninsula, Wales 4.1 Introduction Understanding the causes of microstructures (Chapters Two, Three) and recognising their spatial relationships allows us to reconstruct the environmental history of deposits. In this chapter the environmental history of a deposit at Criccieth, North Wales (Figure 4.1), is reconstructed in more detail than is possible using macroscale features. Such studies are all too rare, partly because of our ignorance as to the causes of microstructures, and partly because of a lack of confidence in microstructural homogeneity on a larger scale. Both views can be attributed to the youth of microstructural research. Such interpretations are, in fact, reasonable - if care is taken over their application. While it is essential that further studies are made of heterogeneity within small areas of outcropping glaciogenic sediments, it should be remembered that the same scale differences are encountered in other branches of geology. The Quaternary deposits of the Lleyn peninsula, in North Wales, have been the source of much controversy. Past discussions centred on the number of terrestrial glaciations in the area (Saunders, 1968 vs. Boulton, 1977). However, present interest in the peninsula stems from an older debate; that between the supporters of terrestrial glaciations and glaciomarine floods. Eyles and McCabe (1989) have split workers by suggesting that the Irish Sea deposits are glaciomarine (Figure 4.1). This origin would add weight to the theory that the last major deglaciation (d180 Stage 2®1) was so rapid because the edge of the major ice sheets were floated from their beds (Broecker and Denton, 1990).
