Landscape Protection and Enhancement Aid Scheme (England) EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 16-X-2006 C(2006) 5001 Subject: State aid / United Kingdom (England) Aid No N 454/2006 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: Landscape Protection and Enhancement Aid Scheme (England) Madam, I have the honour to inform you that, having examined the information supplied by your authorities on the aid scheme above, the Commission has decided to raise no objections to the state aid scheme in question. In reaching this decision, the Commission based itself on the following considerations: 1. PROCEDURE (1) The measure was notified by letter of 5 July 2006, registered on 5 July 2006, by the Permanent Representation of the United Kingdom to the European Union. Additional information was submitted by letter of 16 August 2006, registered on 17 August 2006. 2. DESCRIPTION 2.1. Title (2) Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: Landscape Protection and Enhancement Aid Scheme (England) The Rt Hon Margaret Beckett MP Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Downing Street LONDON SW1A 2AL United Kingdom Rue de la Loi 200, B-1049 Bruxelles/Wetstraat 200, B-1049 Brussel - Belgium Telephone: exchange (+32-2)299.11.11. Telex: COMEU B 21877. Telegraphic address: COMEUR Brussels. 2.2. Beneficiaries (3) Over 1000 farmers in England 2.3. Budget (4) Annual amount: £4 million Overall amount: £24 million (€ 34.7 million) 2.4. Duration (5) 1 November 2006 until 31 March 2012 2.5. Measures (6) Under this scheme each Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) will provide investment aid for conservation of the productive and non-productive heritage features on agricultural holdings. An AONB in England is a public body and is governed by a committee of relevant local authorities. (7) The aid scheme is funded through the general budget of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). (8) Areas designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty within England are: Arnside and Silverdale; Blackdown Hills; Cannock Chase; Chichester Harbour; Cornwall; Cranbourne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs; Dedham Vale; Dorset; East Devon; East Hampshire; Forest of Bowland; High Weald; Howardian Hills; Isles of Scilly; Isle of Wight; Kent Downs; Lincolnshire Wolds; Malvern Hills; Mendip Hills; Nidderdale; Norfolk Coast; North Devon; North Pennines; Northumberland Coast; North Wessex Downs; Quantock Hills; Shropshire Hills; Solway Coast; South Devon; Suffolk Coast and Heaths; Sussex Downs; Surrey Hills; Tamar Valley; and Wye Valley (part of this boundary falls within Wales). During 2006, block exempted aid is given for the Chilterns and the Cotswolds AONBs (State aid Nos XA 04/06 and XA 08/06). They become part of this scheme only from 1 January 2007 onwards. (9) The investment scheme pursues the objective of preservation and improving the natural environment. (10) The following measures can be distinguished: a) The renovation of boundary features: dry stone walls, hedges, wrought iron railings and gates, and dry and wet ditches; b) The removal of scrub; c) The planting of hedges; d) The fencing of woodland of high environmental value to prevent grazing by livestock; e) The pollarding of trees; 2 f) The planting of small copses and feature trees; g) The provision of ponds and other wet landscape features; h) The management and renovation of archaeological sites; i) The renovation of historic agricultural buildings using traditional materials; j) The provision of water troughs to enable improved management of rich grassland by livestock. (11) Eligible costs: Measure a): Dry stone walls: skilled contracted labour, appropriate stone, top wiring; hedges: skilled contracted labour, whip/transplants, stakes and binders, rabbit guards, post and wire fencing, sheep netting, rabbit netting; wrought iron railings: skilled contracted labour, metalwork; gates: skilled contracted labour, wooden field gate, kissing gate for disabled access, kissing gate, bridle gate, dog gate, supporting wooden wings, stone gate post; dry and wet ditches: skilled contracted labour to clear vegetation, machine hire; Measure b): Skilled contracted labour to clear vegetation, machine hire, chemical treatment (one-off treatment); Measure c): Planting hedges: skilled contracted labour, whips/transplants, rabbit protection, plastic mulch, protective fencing (one-off activity); Measure d): Fencing of woodland of high environmental value: post and wire fencing, top wiring, sheep netting; Measure e): Pollarding of trees: skilled contracted labour, large scale restorative pollarding (one-off payment); Measure f): Whips and transplants, skilled contracted labour, rabbit guards, plastic weed mulch, tree tubes, metal tree guards, wooden tree guards (one-off payment); Measure g): Skilled contracted labour, machine and tool hire (one-off payment); Measure h): Skilled contracted labour, post and wire fencing, stock netting, tree felling, scrub clearance and chemical treatment (one-off payment); Measure i): Skilled contracted labour, machine and tool hire, scaffolding hire, building materials, traditional materials e.g. sandstone blocks, oak timbers, slate etc.; Measure j): Skilled labour, metal water trough, water supply piping, machine hire. (12) The aid intensity depends on the classification of the measure. A measure – depending on the circumstances of the investment – may fall under more than one classification. The UK authorities have given assurances that an individual assessment will be made in each case that the conditions of the chosen classification are fulfilled. a) Measures a), b), c), d), e), f), g), h), i): 100% of costs for the conservation of non-productive heritage features located on agricultural holdings; aid may occasionally be granted to compensate for the farmer’s own labour (subject to a limit of €10000 per year); b) Measures a), b), c), g), h), i): 60% (75% in less-favoured areas) for investments or capital works intended to conserve the heritage features of productive assets on farms without increase in capacity; 3 c) Measures a), b), c), g), h), i), j): 40% (50% in less-favoured areas) for investments or capital works intended to conserve the heritage features of productive assets on farms with increase in capacity; extra costs incurred as a result of using traditional materials will be funded at a rate of 100%. (13) For eligibility, farmers and producer groups must manage land within the statutorily designated area or be in close proximity to its boundary or in some other way be capable of affecting the AONB. The aid must further the purpose of the AONB as a Category V Protected Landscape as specified in that AONBs management plan. (14) The AONBs will either offer a cash grant on completion of agreed works or will provide labour and the necessary materials to carry out the works. (15) The UK authorities haven given assurances that simple replacement investments are excluded from support. (16) The UK authorties have given assurances that sufficient checks are in place to guard against any possibility of double funding. 2.6. Legal basis (17) Part II section 11 and Part IV section 87 and section 88(2) of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 and Part IV section 82 and 84(4) of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 2.7. Aid intensity (18) Up to 100% 3. EVALUATION (19) Under Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty, aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods is prohibited, insofar as it affects trade between Member States. It is obvious that there is substantial crossborder trade in agricultural products.1 (20) The aid measure is financed through the general budget of the government and local authorities. Therefore, it has to be qualified as being granted through State resources. (21) It favours certain enterprises in England. It is therefore liable to distort competition and to affect trade between Member States. 1 Trade in agricultural products of the United Kingdom with other Member States in 2004: imports €24 075 million, exports €10 015 million (source: Eurostat). 4 (22) Therefore, Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty applies. (23) According to Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty, aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas can be regarded as compatible where such aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest. Concerning this aid, the Community guidelines for state aid in the agriculture sector2 (hereinafter: Community guidelines) apply. (24) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1/2004 of 23 December 2003 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to State aid to small and medium-sized enterprises active in the production, processing and marketing of agricultural products3 does not apply as the UK authorities have not limited eligible beneficiaries to small and medium-sized enterprises. (25) The UK authorities have given assurances that AONBs are government- controlled public bodies. The AONBs will use its own staff for providing technical support if possible. (26) However, this decision in no way prejudges any further analysis by the Commission as far as the respect of public procurement rules is concerned. (27) Aid for investment in agricultural holdings is meant to contribute to the improvement of agricultural incomes and of living, working or production conditions. The present scheme pursues the objective of improving the natural environment (point 4.1.1.1 of the Community guidelines) by providing support for maintaining traditional landscapes. Eligible for support are farmers in AONBs in England. (28) The applicants must demonstrate occupational skills and competence (point 4.1.1.3. of the Community guidelines). The holdings must comply with minimum Community standards regarding the environment, hygiene and animal welfare (point 4.1.1.3. of the Community guidelines). These conditions are met. (29) The scheme respects the maximum rates of aid for the conservation of traditional landscapes (point 4.1.2.2 of the Community guidelines).

    The Hambleton and Howardian Hills CAN DO (Cultural and Natural Development Opportunity) Partnership The CAN DO Partnership is based around a common vision and shared aims to develop: An area of landscape, cultural heritage and biodiversity excellence benefiting the economic and social well-being of the communities who live within it. The organisations and agencies which make up the partnership have defined a geographical area which covers the south-west corner of the North York Moors National Park and the northern part of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The individual organisations recognise that by working together resources can be used more effectively, achieving greater value overall. The agencies involved in the CAN DO Partnership are – the North York Moors National Park Authority, the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, English Heritage, Natural England, Forestry Commission, Environment Agency, Framework for Change, Government Office for Yorkshire and the Humber, Ryedale District Council and Hambleton District Council. The area was selected because of its natural and cultural heritage diversity which includes the highest concentration of ancient woodland in the region, a nationally important concentration of veteran trees, a range of other semi-natural habitats including some of the most biologically rich sites on Jurassic Limestone in the county, designed landscapes, nationally important ecclesiastical sites and a significant concentration of archaeological remains from the Neolithic to modern times. However, the area has experienced the loss of many landscape character features over the last fifty years including the conversion of land from moorland to arable and the extensive planting of conifers on ancient woodland sites.

  • IV.—Influence of Earth Movements on the Geological Strucuture Of
    J. J. Sarris Teall—Effect of Earth-Movements. 349 found in both. The opening into the larger cave was originally a mere crevice four to six inches wide, requiring many tons of cliff to be removed ere we could effect an entrance. Even then, for some 20 feet, it was but a natural " tunnel," too small, in most parts, either to creep or turn in. No large animals could possibly have entered there; so that the presence of their bones beyond, more or less imbedded in stalagmite, proved that some other entrance, not yet detected, must once have existed. From one of the ramifications, we extracted almost the entire skeleton of a Wolf. Its bones were intermingled with those of a Roebuck, on which it had probably been feeding. The Wolf's skull was a little over three-fourths the size of a full-grown male Arctic specimen. A single canine tooth, belonging to a much larger Wolf, was found at no great distance, and near to the place where the Lynx bones were imbedded. I see no reason to doubt that the Lynx may have roamed through- out our forests and mountain glens, along with the Wolf and the Bear, till a comparatively recent period, just as it still does in Norway ; albeit its origin in Great Britain probably dated from the time when these islands were united to the Continent.

  • Changes in the Appearance of Paintings by John Constable
    return to list of Publications and Lectures Changes in the Appearance of Paintings by John Constable Charles S. Rhyne Professor, Art History Reed College published in Appearance, Opinion, Change: Evaluating the Look of Paintings Papers given at a conference held jointly by the United Kingdom institute for Conservation and the Association of Art Historians, June 1990. London: United Kingdom Institute for Conservation, 1990, p.72-84. Abstract This paper reviews the remarkable diversity of changes in the appearance of paintings by one artist, John Constable. The intention is not simply to describe changes in the work of Constable but to suggest a framework for the study of changes in the work of any artist and to facilitate discussion among conservators, conservation scientists, curators, and art historians. The paper considers, first, examples of physical changes in the paintings themselves; second, changes in the physical conditions under which Constable's paintings have been viewed. These same examples serve to consider changes in the cultural and psychological contexts in which Constable's paintings have been understood and interpreted Introduction The purpose of this paper is to review the remarkable diversity of changes in the appearance of paintings by a single artist to see what questions these raise and how the varying answers we give to them might affect our work as conservators, scientists, curators, and historians. [1] My intention is not simply to describe changes in the appearance of paintings by John Constable but to suggest a framework that I hope will be helpful in considering changes in the paintings of any artist and to facilitate comparisons among artists.
