Holm 1932 – 2007 Like all Viggo’s many friends, we in the Alpine Club were shocked and saddened to learn that there had been a motor vehicle accident on Monday September 10, 2007 on Highway 4 west of Port Alberni, and that he had not survived. We have lost a friend, a trusted companion, a dedicated volunteer, and a fellow mountaineer who, over a span of many years – including this year – impressed both the young and the not-so-young with his fitness and enthusiasm. In 2005 Viggo, along with Judith, was awarded the Don Forest Award for volunteer service to the ACC. We rec- ognize with thanks and admiration his many years as editor of the Island Bushwhacker newsletter, as well as his many other contributions to our Section. Friends comment that Viggo approached everything

Weekends in Wales The Alpine Club Obituary Year of Election and day trips to Matlock and the (including to ACG) Roaches became the foundation for extended expeditions to the Ralph Atkinson 1997 Alps including, in 1991, a fine Una Bishop 1982 six-day ski traverse of the Haute John Chadwick 1978 Route, Argentière to Zermatt, John Clegg 1955 and ascents in 1993 of the Mönch Dennis Davis 1977 and Jungfrau.

  • DNPA's Detailed Responses to Comments
    Dartmoor National Park Authority Local Plan Review 2018 - 2036 Full report on Regulation 19 representations (by respondent) Respondent Number: 0002 Name: John Penny Organisation: Devon Stone Federation On behalf of: Rep Number: 7 Local Plan Section: 1 Paragraph / Policy: Strategy Is the Local Plan sound?: Yes Is the Local Plan legally compliant?: No Is the Local Plan compliant with the duty to co-operate?: Yes Hearing session(s)?: Yes, I wish to participate in hearing session(s) Why?: to ensure the Plan is consistent with national policy Did respondent comment on Reg 18 Local Plan?: Yes Detail of Representation: plan needs to be consistent with national policy Modifications necessary: The paragraph states "Major development will not take place in the National Park other than in exceptional circumstances". The use of the word 'will' is not appropriate and does not reflect the definition given on page 9 under "Understanding the Local Plan". The sentence about Major development is supposed to reflect para 172 of the NPPF 2018. This uses the word 'should', as in "Planning permission should be refused for major development other than in exceptional circumstances". Therefore, the sentence in the Local Plan should be changed to: "Major development should not take place in the National Park other than in exceptional circumstances". We suggest that the use of the word 'will' is reviewed elsewhere in the Draft Local Plan. Authority response: The wording is considered consistent with the NPPF, ‘should’ in the NPPF allows local policy a degree of flexibility in the application of the policy and the possibility of introducing other criteria which could allow major development to occur in a National Park, other than the exceptional circumstances stated in NPPF para 172.
