    NEWSLETTER No 37 Autumn 2001 ISSN 0952-5327 Editor - I K Morgan, % CCW, Beechwood Office, Talley Road, Llandeilo, Carms. SA19 7HR IMPORTANT NOTE: As from this Issue the Dyfed Invertebrates Group Newsletter has ceased publication. Editorial This issue will be the last Dyfed Invertebrate Group Newsletter. I should like to sincerely thank all those contributors who, over the years, have taken the time to write about their discoveries of the invertebrates in the former Dyfed – Carmarthenshire, Pembroke and Ceredigion. A glance at one of the atlases produced by the Biological Records Centre will show that, for the three counties, we managed to achieve a respectable covering of recording for many invertebrate groups - indeed for some we were one of the better recorded parts of Britain. Numerous scarce or rare invertebrates have been found and important sites identified. Let us hope that the conservation bodies and all those involved in wildlife conservation take heed of the wealth of information found in the thirty-seven newsletters which appeared. I should like to thank Adrian Fowles (now Senior Invertebrate Ecologist with the Countryside Council for Wales) for his crucial role in establishing this Newsletter and for his subsequent support. There was a time, in the late 1980s, when there was much friendly rivalry in invertebrate recording between Adrian in Ceredigion and myself representing Carmarthenshire, but professional and other circumstances have changed and it is with regret that I (and others) are now unable to provide the fieldwork (and subsequent deskwork) to sustain this Newsletter. However, I feel that we should all feel proud at what we did achieve and hope that this great recording effort should not be forgotten but, as I mentioned earlier, used to the benefit of invertebrate conservation.

Unfortunately it has reached me so late that it is not now possible for me to pay a final visit of inspection. The history has been carefully prepared and is a most useful document. The map is excellent, showing as it does not only the compartment numbers and boundaries but also species. I have notes on two early inspections (March 6th, 1927 and early September 1930) which are not noted in the history. I append my note on that of 1927 as it describes my first impressions of the land and the planting.

  • Open Space Assessment
    Carmarthenshire Revised Local Development Plan (LDP) 2018 – 2033 Open Space Assessment January 2020 1.0 Introduction Open spaces are vital for health, well-being, amenity and can contribute to an area’s green infrastructure. They can provide a place for play, sport, physical activity and a place to relax often in the presence of nature, and they contribute to our quality of life. Networks of high quality green and recreation spaces can also promote nature conservation and biodiversity and can also have a role in climate protection and adaptation. This includes flood management and helping to reduce the effect of urban heat islands. Planning Policy Wales (PPW) requires local planning authorities to provide a framework for well- located, good quality recreational and leisure facilities, and to develop clear policies for the provision, protection and enhancement of sport, recreation and leisure facilities. These policies should set standards of provision, so that local deficiencies can be identified and met through the planning process, and set out policies to avoid or resolve conflict between different activities. Both formal and informal open green spaces should be protected from development, especially in areas where they fulfil multiple purposes and functions. The objectives set out in PPW can best be achieved by undertaking local assessments of need and audits of existing provision. These assessments, taken together, form an Open Space Assessment which, among other things, should be used to inform the preparation, monitoring and review of LDP policies. Information from such assessments may also be useful for the preparation of corporate Open Space Strategies and Community Strategies in which broader environmental, social and health issues can be addressed.
