  • Dr Simon Sandall – University of Winchester Folklore, Collective
    Dr Simon Sandall – University of Winchester Folklore, collective memory and popular protest in seventeenth-century Forest of Dean The free miners of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire have long claimed that their customary mining rights were granted to them by Edward I in return for military service at the Siege of Berwick in 1296. Whatever the origin of these rights, they defined the relative autonomy of this industrial group and were regulated through the strict monopoly of the Mine Law Court, which met before a jury of 12, 24, or 48 miners according to circumstance and held a strict monopoly of jurisdiction over this industry. To be a free miner, ‘ancient’ custom dictated, one had to have been born within the hundred of St Briavels, to be the son of a free miner, and to have worked in a mine for a year and a day. These miners were also part of a wider community that had traditionally depended on a complex set of common rights accommodated by royal forest management. The seventeenth century witnessed a two- pronged assault on forest custom from both changing Crown policies and novel opportunities for private projectors, several of whom were members of the local gentry. These encroachments not only impeded the exercise of mining custom, but also disrupted common rights to grazing and fuel. The reliance of miners on both sets of rights, together with their symbolic position within the forest commonalty, foreshadows their heavy involvement in organising resistance to the enclosure and privatisation of forest wastes. Two major episodes occurred in the early seventeenth century in reaction to this breach of ‘ancient’ forest custom.

Forest of Dean and Lower Wye Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform theirdecision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The informationthey contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

The policies in the Core Strategy use these relationships and the general hierarchy of settlements. 1.2 The role of this paper is therefore to; Explain the role of national policy in the hierarchy Provide background evidence for a settlement hierarchy as used in the LDF 1.3 An understanding of the settlement hierarchy is important as the Local Development Framework (LDF) must set out a clear order of preference for the location of development. This needs to be robust, not just for the short term in the context of limited or no housing supply, but in the longer term when development requirements change.

  • Case Study: Bridging the Gap
    Case Study: Bridging the Gap The realities for communities, to deliver community-funded broadband improvements within budget and time? Is the commitment to communities driving UK Superfast broadband achievable? Or are the barriers of funding, red tape, monopolies, and delivery, just too difficult for most of us to overcome? Supporting Delivery of Gigabit Broadband The Hewelsfield and Brockweir parish is located in the West of the Forest of Dean District in the English county of Gloucestershire. Hewelsfield Broadband Group Hewelsfield Broadband Group was set up by residents to campaign for better broadband within the area. The existing infrastructure situation has resulted in substantial issues with broadband stability and performance; to compound matters with fixed broadband, the mobile network provides inadequate network coverage. Community Action The local residents have worked together to identify potential solutions to resolve the network issues. This included gaining local support, liaising with landowners Brockweir Bridge, River Wye, Western Border Hewelsfield and Brockweir Parish and finally contacting BT Openreach for a quote to install the infrastructure to deliver decent broadband (Circa £150k). Fastershire were approach, and have planned to roll out Gigabit Broadband to the area; this was not deemed to be rapid enough for the frustrated local community. Local Challenges Geography The parish is made up of a steep valley spreading up from the Wye at Bigsweir to a broader open rolling farmland where Hewelsfield is located. The local area is rural with two small village centres; there is a low population density and properties tend to be spread apart. Existing Infrastructure The local infrastructure is inadequate to provide the necessary broadband performance.
