    YMDDIRIEDOLAETH GERDDI HANESYDDOL CYMRU WELSH HISTORIC GARDENS TRUST South and Mid Glamorgan Branch Visit to Coedarhdyglyn, St George-super-Ely, CF5 6SF on Friday 12th October at 2pm At the kind invitation of Rhodri Traherne our Branch will be visiting Coedarhydyglyn. a Grade II* garden is not open to the public, so this will be a rare opportunity to explore the gardens and wider parkland landscape. The house, which was commissioned by the Revd. John Montgomery Traherne in 1820, stands on the side of a deep valley in the centre of parkland and commands extensive views to the north. House and parkland together form a picturesque early C19th landscape. The topography of the site has largely determined the content of the grounds with woodland predominating. Terraced gardens immediately around the house are laid mainly to lawns. The Dell, a narrow spring fed valley to the south of the house, was developed as a woodland and water garden with strong Japanese influence by Llewellyn Edmund Traherne early in the C20th and is thought to have been the work of Alfred Parsons & Partners. The woodlands contain some notable plantings of rhododendrons and conifers, many of them planted by the present owner’s uncle Sir Cennydd Traherne and his wife Rowena who established the Cyprus garden and the Pinetum. The Pinetum is a special interest of our host who will accompany us on our tour. The entrance to Coedarhdyglyn is about ½ mile from Culverhouse Cross roundabout. Take to A48 to St Nicolas and, at the top of the hill, turn tight into a private driveway.

  • South and Mid Glamorgan Branch Newsletter
    YMDDIRIEDOLAETH GERRDI HANESYDDOL CYMRU WELSH HISTORIC GARDENS OctoberTRUST 2010 Number 49 South and Mid Glamorgan Branch Newsletter HRH The Prince of Wales, WHGT Patron The Prince has been our Patron for many years and in this, the year of the 25th anniversary of the Trust, we were especially delighted that he was able to spend time with us at Dyffryn Gardens. During the meeting he showed great interest in the Trust’s work, in particular the new WHGT Small Grants Scheme which was launched that day. His Royal Highness is, of course, very familiar with the challenges of preserving historic parks and gardens and understood exactly what we are aiming to achieve. More information on the scheme is available at www.whgt.org.uk His Royal Highness cut and partook of our celebratory cake which had been made by Becky Woszczycki and was presented with a copy of Edwardian Country Life by Helena Gerrish. Quite coincidentally a photograph of High Glannau, Helena’s house was on the front cover of Country Life and from the animated conversation it was clear that the Prince is both an enthusiastic and hands-on gardener who is deeply concerned over the future of the historic gardens of Wales.

  • Valeways Newsletter Spring 2016
    Valeways Newsletter Spring 2016 Despite the extreme weather conditions Valeways was again able to provide a full and varied Winter walking programme. As the signs of Spring are all around us we look forward to another fine array of walks in our latest Guided Walks Programme, which includes the seventh Vale of Glamorgan Walking Festival! The featured painting in oil and acrylic, entitled ‘Lavernock Point, Steep Holm, Flat Holm’ is the work of the young artist Peter Kettle from Llysworney. Peter had his first solo exhibition at the Albany Gallery, Cardiff in March. Reproduced with kind permission of The Albany Gallery (www.albanygallery.com) and the artist …. and talking about Lavernock … since our last Newsletter, the Vale has certainly made the headlines with the discovery of the remains of a 200 million year old dinosaur, at Lavernock. The dinosaur, believed to be a distant cousin of the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex was named ‘dracoraptor hanigani’after the brothers, Nick and Rob Hanigan who discovered it. Artist’s impression of ‘dracoraptor hanigani’ – National Museum of Wales Although various dinosaur bones and teeth have been found around the coast in the past, this is the first example of a theropod to be discovered in Wales. Maybe there are more lurking in the undergrowth… valewaysaretops: rumours of its extinction are greatly exaggerated! We are happily still here and once again our Walk Leaders offer a variety of walks in our Spring Programme. Amongst some old favourites there are a few thought provoking additions – we are invited to go ‘Around the Bay’ before venturing ‘Over the Hills and Far Away’.

  • Local Development Plan 2011- 2026 Local Development Plan Written Statement June 2017 Foreword
    Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan 2011- 2026 Local Development Plan Written Statement June 2017 Foreword I am pleased to introduce the Local Development Plan which provides a framework for sustainable development within the Vale of Glamorgan up to 2026. It is an extremely important Policy document that will guide the growth of the Vale of Glamorgan over a fifteen year period and identifies the infrastructure needs of our communities in terms of employment, facilities and services needed to support that growth. In setting this framework for the future development of the Vale of Glamorgan, we have been mindful of the need to regenerate and support our communities and in doing so the Plan seeks to achieve a balance between economic growth, social cohesion and environmental impact. Wherever possible the Plan’s emphasis is on re-using previously developed land and minimising the need to develop on green fields. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Barry where the emphasis is very much on the continued regeneration of the Waterfront. In addition, we have ensured that sufficient emphasis is being placed on providing for an appropriate level of growth in other communities throughout the Vale thereby ensuring their long term sustainability and vitality. In reading the document you will see that the evidence base that has informed the Plan and its policies is wide ranging and robust. I am particularly pleased that in progressing this Plan we have been able to comprehensively identify and allocate land for the services and facilities that will be needed to support additional residential and employment growth during the Plan period.

  • Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy Vale of Glamorgan
    The Vale of Glamorgan Council/Cyngor Bro Morgannwg Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy February 2005 VALE OF GLAMORGAN COUNCIL CONTAMINATED LAND INSPECTION STRATEGY JANUARY 2005 First Prepared by Michael Jenkins - April 2001 Contaminated Land Officer Reviewed by George Cowie Pollution Control Officer Executive Summary This Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy has been prepared by the Vale of Glamorgan Council to fulfil the legal requirement of Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Pt IIA came into force on the 1st July 2001 and provided a new regulatory standard for the identification and remediation of historically contaminated land. This strategy document updates the previous strategy document, which was first published in April 2002, and details the methodology to be employed by the Vale of Glamorgan Council to implement it's duties under Part IIA of The Environmental Protection Act (EPA), 1990. The document reveals the inspection process and sets time scales for completion that will be used by the Vale of Glamorgan Council. The EPA defines contaminated land as any land where there appears to be a significant risk of significant harm to human health and or controlled waters due to substances in, on or under the land. In determining whether land is contaminated local authorities, including the Vale of Glamorgan, must use the principle of Pollutant Linkage. That is a link must be found between a source of potential contamination and a receptor, such as a watercourse or future or current users of a site. All three parts of the linkage, that is source, pathway and receptor, must be present before any land can be designated as contaminated.
