Comment text:

The Wiveliscombe Civic and Historical Society, of which I am Hon. Secretary, accept the boundary of the proposed Brendon and Wiveliscombe Ward but object to the name. 1 Wiveliscombe is clearly recognised as the Rural Centre for the Ward and therefore its name should appear first as in the neighbouring Wards of Dulverton and District and Milverton and District. Wiveliscombe has over half the population of the Ward and people searching for it would naturally look under "W" rather than "B". 2 A number of the Parishes included in the Ward are not in the area of the Brendon Hills and it is clearly illogical to put that name first for them. Examples are Ashbrittle, Stawley, Bathealton and Fitzhead.

Dear Sir or Madam

Draft recommendations for ward boundaries in Somerset West and Taunton

Thank you for your consultation on the above dated and received by Natural England on 3rd July 2018.

Natural England is a non-departmental public body. Our statutory purpose is to ensure that the natural environment is conserved, enhanced, and managed for the benefit of present and future generations, thereby contributing to sustainable development.

Natural England does not consider that this consultation on the ward boundaries for Somerset West and Taunton poses any likely risk or opportunity in relation to our statutory purpose, and so does not wish to comment on this consultation.

The lack of comment from Natural England should not be interpreted as a statement that there are no impacts on the natural environment. Other bodies and individuals may wish to make comments that might help the Local Planning Authority (LPA) to fully take account of any environmental risks and opportunities relating to this document.

If you disagree with our assessment of this proposal as low risk, or should the proposal be amended in a way which significantly affects its impact on the natural environment, then in accordance with Section 4 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006, please consult Natural England again.

Yours faithfully
