Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the Differences Between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas
Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the differences between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas This document should be read in conjunction with the School Places Strategy 2017 – 2022 and provides an explanation of the differences between the Wiltshire Community Areas served by the Area Boards and the School Planning Areas. The Strategy is primarily a school place planning tool which, by necessity, is written from the perspective of the School Planning Areas. A School Planning Area (SPA) is defined as the area(s) served by a Secondary School and therefore includes all primary schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into that secondary school. As these areas can differ from the community areas, this addendum is a reference tool to aid interested parties from the Community Area/Area Board to define which SPA includes the schools covered by their Community Area. It is therefore written from the Community Area standpoint. Amesbury The Amesbury Community Area and Area Board covers Amesbury town and surrounding parishes of Tilshead, Orcheston, Shrewton, Figheldean, Netheravon, Enford, Durrington (including Larkhill), Milston, Bulford, Cholderton, Wilsford & Lake, The Woodfords and Great Durnford. It encompasses the secondary schools The Stonehenge School in Amesbury and Avon Valley College in Durrington and includes primary schools which feed into secondary provision in the Community Areas of Durrington, Lavington and Salisbury. However, the School Planning Area (SPA) is based on the area(s) served by the Secondary Schools and covers schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into either The Stonehenge School in Amesbury or Avon Valley College in Durrington. -

Wiltshire Botany
WILTSHIRE BOTANY JOURNAL OF THE WILTSHIRE BOTANICAL SOCIETY ISSUE NO. 3, February 2000 CONTENTS 1 E DITORIAL 2 The Flora of Berwick St. James Barbara Last 15 Grassland Communities on Salisbury Plain Training Area: Results of the ITE ecological survey Kevin Walker and Richard Pywell 28 The recent history of Batology in Wiltshire Rob Randall 33 Plant records 1997 35 Addition to 1996 records 36 Plant records 1998 Wiltshire Botany 3, 2000, page1 EDITORIAL Each issue of Wiltshire Botany so far has managed to break new ground. This issue contains the first village flora to be included. Barbara Last has systematically recorded the plants growing in Berwick St James, and her article gives an account of her findings. Hopefully, it will inspire others to do similar work in their own localities. Our second article is the first systematic account we have published on the vegetation of Salisbury Plain. In this case, Kevin Walker and Richard Pywell describe the grassland communities of the MoD Training Area. Kevin and Richard can be contacted at the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, Monks Wood, Abbots Ripton, Huntingdon, Cambs., PE17 2LS. Tel. 01487 773381.Fax. 01487 773467. Email; [email protected] Innovation is complemented by continuity. Rob Randall’s article continues his account of the history of recording the many different species of bramble in Wiltshire. His account brings us more or less up to the present day. It is hoped that the next issue will contain what is effectively an up-to-date bramble flora of Wiltshire. As in previous issues, a selection of the Society’s plant records is included. -
Great Cheverell Conservation Area Statement Is Part of the Process
86 High Street GREAT CHEVERELL CONSERVATION AREA STATEMENT October 2003 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Statement is to identify and record those special qualities of Great Cheverell that make up its architectural and historic character. This is important in providing a sound basis for the Local Plan policies and development decisions, as well as for the formulation of proposals for the preservation and enhancement of the character or appearance of the area. The Conservation Area was designated in 1989. This Statement includes a review of the Great Cheverell Conservation Area and is intended for all those with an interest in the village, or undertaking work on the buildings, landscape, roads or public spaces. It is also essential reading for anyone contemplating development within the area. By drawing attention to the distinctive features of Great Cheverell it is intended that its character will be protected and enhanced for the benefit of this and future generations. Rear of Manor House and St Peters parish church LOCATION Great Cheverell is 4.5 miles south of Devizes close to the centre of Wiltshire. It is situated on a secondary road joining the A360 (Devizes - Salisbury road) to the B3098 (Westbury - West Lavington route) east of Erlestoke. BRIEF DESCRIPTION The village lies on a northeast facing hillside with the parish church high on the northern edge. The junction of High Street with Church Road forms the centre of the village. Here a cluster of brick and slate historic buildings includes the village inn, a mansion, orchard and a barn. Large mature trees on a sloping green are significant in the approach to the church, to the grounds of the former rectory and to the manor house beyond. -

Putting Life Into Your Landscape” Summer 2017 AGM 2017
Putting Life into your Landscape” Summer 2017 Chairman’s Remarks Dear All Once again we are in the middle of summer, as regards coppicing products the trade is rather quiet, some hurdles and spars are going out but customers are holding back at the moment. Some shows and events are going on, we will see in late autumn for any results, I don’t think it will be that good. Re: Charcoal Events - Forest of Dean has taken place at the end of May, Alan Walters Charfest is in early August. We have just held a joint event with the Dorset Coppice Group in the Reading Room at Alderholt, attendance was not too bad and an evening of verse poetry and good food was enjoyed. P J was at the helm and it is hopeful that a return event can be held in the future. The colour picture is of me and my father Len Lane at Damerham Flower Show in June l975. The temperature that day was over 100 degrees, never been that hot before or after!! Note the banding in the hurdles, not made like that today. The black and white picture is me and my father again, in April l955 in Lopshill Pond Copse which is between Damerham and Lower Daggons on the Hampshire/ Dorset border near Alderholt. This copse was removed in the 1960’s. Notice the very long 12” wood cutting hooks – Ewell is the make and they were made between 1949 and 1951. Father had three and I still have two of them. Peter Lane Chariman AGM 2017 There was a rather disappointing turn out for the AGM with fewer than 20 members including the Committee. -
