  • Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership
    Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership ‘Call for Evidence’ Response to Gloucestershire’s Local Industrial Strategy Page 1 of 54 Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership Local Nature Partnerships (LNPs) were formed as part of the government’s 2011 white paper “The Natural Choice: Securing the value of nature”1. As part of a framework to strengthen local action to achieve the recovery of nature, LNPs were tasked to raise awareness about the vital services and benefits that a healthy natural environment brings for people, communities and the local economy. LNPs were to contribute to the green economy and complement Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), of which there is an expectation from government for LNPs and LEPs to form strong links that capture the value of nature. Here in Gloucestershire, the LNP is formed of over 30 organisations from public, private and third sector bodies from across the county, all working together as an informal partnership to recognise the importance of embedding nature's value in local decisions for the benefit of the nature, people and the economy. The GLNP Mission is to champion the essential role of Gloucestershire’s natural environment in sustaining a vibrant, healthy, prosperous economy and society. With a Vision of a healthy and valued natural environment, sustaining the economy and wellbeing of Gloucestershire. Our partnership provides a strong and innovative voice for the environment sector and is seen as a key partner in helping deliver the Gloucestershire County Council’s Strategy 2019-20222. We benefit from a solid working relationship with GFirst LEP, as well as all the District Councils.

  • Bird Club September 2020 Bulletin
    DURSLEY BIRDWATCHING AND PRESERVATION SOCIETY SEPTEMBER 2020 BULLETIN Welcome to the September Bulletin which we hope you will enjoy and thank you to all of our members who have helped by sending in articles etc. During the next few month’s which will probably be difficult we shall be looking at the best way to run the Society for your bene- fit. In the meantime, get out on your daily walks and enjoy the birdlife you can find. – MGR. ‘Toad in the Well’. Lockdown eased and we scampered off immediately in our camper van to our favourite location on the edge of Highnam Woods. On arrival we were impressed by the work that the farmer Jeremy had done during the lockdown-improving the campsite to include five hard standings making the site viable for twelve months of the year and allowing visits during the beauty of all seasons. It can be very wet as we know on the forest edge in Gloucestershire, in fact on some occasions the landscape seemed far more suited for planting rice than winter wheat. Down the grassy track from the campsite to the corner of the next field Jeremy had dumped some fifty tons of top soil from the excavations of the hard standing. There had always been a very soggy wet hollow here so the plan is to landfill, level and remove the hollow. Jeremy knew there was a well in the locality dating from eighteen hundreds but on investigating found beautiful clear water thirty foot down so decided to make a feature of it, unfortunately during this investigation and moving of the cover the family heard a loud plop.

We consider in reaching that decision we have taken into account all relevant considerations and legal requirements and that the permit will ensure that the appropriate level of environmental protection is provided. Purpose of this document This decision document: • explains how the application has been determined • provides a record of the decision-making process • shows how all relevant factors have been taken into account • justifies the specific conditions in the permit other than those in our generic permit template. Unless the decision document specifies otherwise we have accepted the applicant’s proposals.

Ammonia Assessment – SAC / SPA / Ramsar sites The following trigger thresholds have been applied for assessment of European sites including Ramsar sites: • if the process contribution (PC) is below 4% of the relevant critical level (CLe) or critical load (CLo) then the farm can be permitted with no further assessment; • where this threshold is exceeded an assessment alone and in combination is required; • an overlapping in combination assessment will be completed where existing farms are identified within 10 km of the habitat site.

  • TREE STRATEGY for CHARLTON KINGS – for Those Who Will Come After Us
    A TREE STRATEGY FOR CHARLTON KINGS – for those who will come after us To begin at the beginning… It was a dark and stormy night, a starless and bible-black night when ArbbrA came down to the Ceorls’ tun brook, and hesitated. She had been sent by the Shepherds of the Forest to help the people to re-build their woodlands and wanted to meet with the C-Keepers who patrolled the borders to stop any loss of carbon. She might have chosen to come from the west through Charlton Park, but as a Tree Spirit she had been drawn in from the east by the ancient lime trees of Lineover Wood. Crossing the brook, she prepared to answer the Keepers’ ancient riddle – when is the best time to plant a tree? Like us, she knew that the answer is “twenty years ago” but no challenge was made and so she sped silently towards the company of the churchyard yews at the centre of her new home. Pausing only to report her arrival to the Shepherds, ArbbrA began her work. Slowly, as tree spirits are created to do, ArbbrA began to divide herself and by morning two new and fully formed Spirits stood in her place. In two weeks, there were more Spirits than people in Charlton Kings and by the end of a month, every existing tree had a guardian and there was a Tree Spirit army ready to protect every new tree that was to be planted to restore woodlands, make new forests and to green the streets and green spaces where the people lived.
