The purpose of the WRMP is to set out a minimum 25-year strategy for managing water supply and demand within the Anglian Water region. In accordance with European Directive 2001/42/EC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (the ‘Habitats Directive’) and the resulting Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, a Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) is required to assess the potential impact of plans and programmes to ensure that there will not be any ‘likely significant effects’ (LSE) on sites of European nature conservation importance. This report presents the results of the first task of the HRA process, the Task I: Screening (or Test of Likely Significance). Development of the WRMP As part of the WRMP development process Anglian Water undertook modelling to identify areas with a surplus or deficit of water supply.

  • The Ouse Washes
    NRA Anglii j i t - u THE OUSE WASHES “The Ouse Washes offer a rich variety of experiences both as an internationally important wildlife site and its continuing role of protecting the fens from flooding. ” O wildlife RSPB NRA National Rivers Authority Anglian Region THE ANGLIAN REGION The Anglian Region hosts a rich variety of wildlife habitats, flora and landscapes associated with its streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, wetlands, estuaries and coastal waters. Many of these are protected by statutory designations, for example, 75% of the coastline is covered by a conservation and/or landscape designation. Five Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty fall either partially or wholly within Anglian Region, along with England's newest National Park - the Broads. A fifth of England and Wales internationally important wetlands, from large estuaries such as the Humber and the Wash, to Ouse Washes in flood washlands such as the Ouse Washes, occur within this region. THE OUSE WASHES - FLOOD DEFENCE IMPORTANCE The Middle and South Level Barrier Banks contain Bedford Ouse flood flows within the Ouse Washes and are therefore vital for the flood protection of the Cambridgeshire Fens. Complete towns, villages and isolated dwellings, Flood waters are able to flow throigh \ together with approximately 29,000 the Hundred Foot River when pean " hectatres of agricultural land are protected from flooding by the Ouse When the peak flood has passed, i Washes Defences. Washes and back into the Old Failure of the South Level Barrier Bank would cause over 230 residential properties to be flooded to depths of up to 1.8m. As much as 11,000 hectares of Flooded washland and ditches agricultural land would be flooded.

  • Fens Biosphere: Map Justification, Full Report November 2019
    Text to accompany Fens Biosphere Steering Group’s candidate map submission to UK Man & Biosphere Committee. Prepared in advance of the UK MAB Committee meeting to take place on 6 November 2019 The Fens Biosphere is being developed within the 'Water Works' project which is funded through the People's Postcode Lottery's Dream Fund (Lead partner project ‘Water Works’: Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire; Lead partner Biosphere development: Cambridgeshire ACRE). This document has been prepared with input from the Fens Biosphere Steering Group. Last updated: Cambridgeshire ACRE (MN), 29 October 2019 – V.3 About this document: This document has been prepared to accompany the preliminary map for the proposed Fens Biosphere reserve and its internal zonation. The key aim is to have this (draft) map approved by UK Man and Biosphere Committee (UK MAB) as a candidate Biosphere map, a key milestone in the process to nominate part of the Fens area as a new UK Biosphere reserve. This document sets out the Fens Biosphere partnership’s thinking behind the map creation in order to satisfy key UNESCO criteria around the geographical definition of a Fens Biosphere, including location and delimitation of the required three-layered zonation of the biosphere reserve i.e. core area, buffer zone and transition area. A Fens Biosphere proposal – timeline to date Since 2017 the partners involved in the Fens Biosphere Steering Group have been engaged in discussions with the UK Man and Biosphere Committee (UK MAB) and 1 the UNESCO MAB Secretariat in Paris about the development of a candidate Fens Biosphere map.

    1 ___________ SHARE THE VISION Landscape influences the quality of our vision. They will be of particular relevance working, travelling, domestic and to those who have the greatest influence on recreation lives. It reflects the richness of the landscape – farmers, developers, and our ecological and historic heritage. If engineers, and public bodies. we recognise this, we can develop and share a vision for tomorrow’s landscape. A SAD DECLINE The vision which this manual invites During the post-war period, there have been you to share is of a countryside which is dramatic changes in the Cambridgeshire diverse, reflecting local character and a landscape. Particularly in the 1980s, sense of place, consciously thought about observers alerted us to the environmental and managed, and which acknowledges decline of the countryside: critics felt that our affinity with nature and our need for much of what was valued had been lost and recreation and visual enjoyment. much of what was new was bland, These landscape guidelines insensitive and lacking character; the recognise the potential for everyone Cambridgeshire countryside of old had gone. involved with the rural landscape and its settlements to play a part in achieving that Looking east across the fens from Ely Cathedral’s western tower. This is true, in the sense that there is no going backwards, no way of fully woodlands; development economics may discourage restoring many of the lost habitats, and no high design standards or innovations with landscape prospect of doing away with intrusive new creation; engineering standards and financial structures. Along with the loss of habitats constraints reduce the scope for achieving we have seen the erosion of a sense of environmentally sensitive road schemes; local place and local character, those difficult- authorities have reduced budgets, and so on.
