The soils and underlying geology in the vicinity of the Scheme are important factors in determining the physical appearance of an area, and can contain valuable resources, such as fertile land and mineral resources. Potential effects associated with the presence of contaminated land along the route are also addressed. The assessment has been carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB), Volume 11, Section 3, Part 11. 10.2 Potential Impacts and Effects Construction Phase 10.2.1 Potential impacts on soils which may arise as a result of the construction of a scheme such as this include the following: • Loss or destruction of soils in use for agriculture, woodland and forestry or of nature conservation value • Physical damage to soils, including soil compaction as a result of heavy construction vehicle movements • Exacerbation of soil erosion • Contamination of soils adjacent to roads by construction materials, fuels, oil, spray or airborne contaminants • Exposure of currently contaminated soils • Exposure of landfill gases to groundworkers within excavations, poorly ventilated areas or structures within close proximity to Brogborough or Stewartby Landfill sites. Operational Phase 10.2.2 During operation of a new road scheme, adjacent soils may be affected by spray or airborne contaminants generated during routine maintenance and operation of the road, or contaminants released during road accidents/emergency situations. There is also the possibility of increased soil erosion due to poor drainage design, and of cut and embankment slopes being susceptible to erosion or failure. 10.3 Methodology Evaluation of Receptors 10.3.1 The importance of potentially affected geological/geomorphological features and the sensitivity of receptors that may be affected by land contamination impacts have been evaluated on the basis of a 5-point scale, as illustrated in Table 10.1, below. These criteria have been developed by the Project Team and applied previously to major highway schemes. 10-1 March 2007 A421 Improvements M1 Junction 13 to Bedford Environmental Statement, Volume 2 Table 10.1 Criteria for Assessing the Importance of Potentially Affected Geological/Geomorphological Features Value/ Geology and Soils Other Receptors Susceptible to Sensitivity Land Contamination Impacts • Internationally designated • Residential areas, schools, sites play areas, within 50m of construction works • Very high quality agricultural soils (Grade 1) • Water features deemed to be of very high value (refer to Very high • Soils of very high nature Chapter 11: Road Drainage conservation or landscape and the Water Environment) importance (refer to Chapter 9: Ecology and Nature • Ecological features deemed Conservation and Chapter 8: to be of very high value (refer Landscape and Visual to Chapter 9: Ecology and Assessment) Nature Conservation) • Nationally designated sites • Residential areas, schools, playing fields, within 200m • Regionally important sites with limited potential for • Allotments, arable farmland, substitution livestock, market gardens • High quality agricultural soils • Water features deemed to be (Grade 2) of high value (refer to Chapter High 11: Road Drainage and the • Soils of high nature Water Environment ) conservation or landscape importance (refer to Chapter • Ecological features deemed 9: Ecology and Nature to be of high value (refer to Conservation and Chapter 8: Chapter 9: Ecology and Landscape and Visual Nature Conservation) Assessment) • Regionally important sites • Commercial area or open with potential for substitution space (excluding school playing fields and other play • Locally designated sites areas) • Good quality agricultural soils • Forestry areas, ornamental (Grade 3a) plant nurseries • Soils of medium nature • Buildings including services conservation or landscape and foundations Medium importance (refer to Chapter 9: Ecology and Nature • Water features deemed to be Conservation and Chapter 8: of medium value (refer to Landscape and Visual Chapter 11: Road Drainage Assessment) and the Water Environment ) • Ecological features deemed to be of medium value (refer to Chapter 9: Ecology and Nature Conservation) 10-2 March 2007 A421 Improvements M1 Junction 13 to Bedford Environmental Statement, Volume 2 Value/ Geology and Soils Other Receptors Susceptible to Sensitivity Land Contamination Impacts • Undesignated sites of some • Industrial areas, car parks, local earth heritage interest highways, and railways • Moderate or poor quality • Water features deemed to be agricultural soils (Grade 3b or of low value (refer to Chapter Grade 4) 11: Road Drainage and the Water Environment ) Low • Soils of low nature conservation or landscape • Ecological features deemed importance (refer to Chapter to be of low value (refer to 9: Ecology and Nature Chapter 9: Ecology and Conservation and Chapter 8: Nature Conservation) Landscape and Visual Assessment) • Other sites with little or no • Areas where there are no built local earth heritage interest structures, no crops, timber, livestock, etc. • Very poor quality agricultural soils (Grade 5) • Ecological features deemed to be of negligible value (refer Negligible • Soils of negligible nature to Chapter 9: Ecology and conservation or landscape Nature Conservation) importance (refer to Chapter 9: Ecology and Nature Conservation and Chapter 8: Landscape and Visual Assessment) Identification and Assessment of Potential Impacts 10.3.2 The magnitude of potential Scheme impacts has been assessed using the 5-point scale as shown in Table 10.2, below.

This would necessitate discontinuing the use of Ampthill Baptist Church. The ARO was asked to consider using the Town Ampthill Methodist Church Room, Council Chamber, 66 Dunstable Street, Ampthill AMP1-4 AMP4 Ampthill (part) 887 896 Chandos Road, Ampthill MK45 2JS as a polling station but the Methodist Church Room is more convenient for voters and has parking advantages.

  • The Evaluation of Bedfordshire Burial Registration, L538-L851
    The evaluation of Bedfordshire burial registration, L538-L851 Peter Razzell, Christine Spence and Matthew Woollard Abstract This article is based mainly on a digital transcript of burials for 126 Bedfordshire parishes 7538-7851, and a county index of wills for the same period. The comparison of probate with burial register data indicated that there uas little long-term change oaer time in burial tmder-registratiott, with between 21 and 27 per cent of utill entries missing in the registers. There was also little aariation between parishes of dffirent population sizes, suggesting that burial tmder-registratiot'L was predominantly a random process linked to clerical negligence. A comparison of 1841 and L851 census data, linked to the Bedfordshire burial database, reaealed thnt missing burials amongst married couples was 29 per cent, similar to that found in the probatelburial register comparison in the 1840s. These findings on the adequacy of burial registers -saggesf thnt similar resesrch on others counties will be necessary in order to establish reliable conclusions about England's population history. Introduction One of the major issues of historical demography has been the reliability of Anglican parish registers and its relationship to English population history in the period 1538-1850.1 Assumptions about the reliability of registers have had a major effect on the interpretation of population change, and this has had a significant impact on the debate about the nature of population growth during the 'parish register period'. Much of the uncertainty about demographic change is due to the inflation factors used for the correction of missing births and deaths in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
