About the building's performance ratings The ratings on the certificate provide a measure of the building's overall energy efficiency and its environmental impact, calculated in accordance with a national methodology that takes into account factors such as insulation, heating and hot water systems, ventilation and fuels used. The average Energy Efficiency Rating for a dwelling in England and Wales is band E (rating 46). Not all buildings are used in the same way, so energy ratings use 'standard occupancy' assumptions which may be different from the specific way you use your home. Different methods of calculation are used for homes and for other buildings. Details can be found at www.communities.gov.uk/epbd Buildings that are more energy efficient use less energy, save money and help protect the environment.

  • THE Systematic List for 2009
    THE SystemaTic List for 2009 The 2009 systematic list was prepared by a team of species account writers (see below) and edited by Chris Heard and Renton Righelato. We try to restrict records to those within the long and tortuous border of Berkshire. However, this is not always possible and it should be noted, for example, that monthly peak counts of wildfowl at Eversley GPs may include some birds in Hampshire and some records on the Thames and Blackwater rivers may have been over the midline and outside Berkshire. Moreover, references to Atlas survey data include counts in the whole of border tetrads, resulting in the survey area being almost 25% larger than the area of Berkshire itself.

  • Historic Landscape Character Areas and Their Special Qualities and Features of Significance
    Historic Landscape Character Areas and their special qualities and features of significance Volume 1 Third Edition March 2016 Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy Emma Rouse, Wyvern Heritage and Landscape Consultancy www.wyvernheritage.co.uk – [email protected] – 01747 870810 March 2016 – Third Edition Summary The North Wessex Downs AONB is one of the most attractive and fascinating landscapes of England and Wales. Its beauty is the result of many centuries of human influence on the countryside and the daily interaction of people with nature. The history of these outstanding landscapes is fundamental to its present‐day appearance and to the importance which society accords it. If these essential qualities are to be retained in the future, as the countryside continues to evolve, it is vital that the heritage of the AONB is understood and valued by those charged with its care and management, and is enjoyed and celebrated by local communities. The North Wessex Downs is an ancient landscape. The archaeology is immensely rich, with many of its monuments ranking among the most impressive in Europe. However, the past is etched in every facet of the landscape – in the fields and woods, tracks and lanes, villages and hamlets – and plays a major part in defining its present‐day character. Despite the importance of individual archaeological and historic sites, the complex story of the North Wessex Downs cannot be fully appreciated without a complementary awareness of the character of the wider historic landscape, its time depth and settlement evolution. This wider character can be broken down into its constituent parts.

  • Lowland Mosaic
    15. LANDSCAPE TYPE 8: LOWLAND MOSAIC Location and Boundaries 15.1. The landscape type comprises a lowland area in the eastern part of the AONB intervening between the two main chalk upland blocks to the north and south and lying to either side of the Kennet Valley (7A). The boundaries are essentially defined by geology with the change from the chalk to the Tertiary deposits of the Reading Beds, the Bagshot Beds and London Clay. In the north the chalk descends as a gradual dipslope (2A: Brightwalton Downs & 2B: Ashampstead Downs), while to the south it rises as a dramatic escarpment (2D: Walbury Hill - Watership Downs Scarp). The geological transition within this landscape type is clearly marked by the lower topography and the land cover of woodland and pasture. Overview The lowland mosaic is a distinct landscape in the eastern part of the North Wessex Downs occupying the low lying basin of gravel beds and clays which rise either side of the Kennet Valley. The area has a strong woodland character, with its origins as part of the medieval forests. In the early 17th century the forests were subject to gradual piecemeal enclosure, the legacy of which is reflected in numerous dispersed small settlements and farms. Today the area is characterised by irregular fields, cut out from the woodland during the medieval or post medieval period, interspersed with parcels of woodland and commons. Although in some areas, a more open landscape dominated by large-scale arable farmland is found. One of the most densely inhabited parts of the North Wessex Downs, this lowland area has a diverse range of settlements ranging from large manor houses associated with the many parklands to the network of hamlets, lines of houses and villages that occur along the lanes and roads.
