The publication of this 2014 Progress Report was delayed to enable the Council to concentrate on the production of its Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP), which was formally adopted in December 2014. Although this report covers the 2013 calendar year as regards monitoring data, relevant information which post dates the report’s original deadline of April 2014 has also been included (e.g. the creation and formal adoption of the Air Quality Action Plan in December 2014, the production of the Air Quality Strategic Plan for Hertfordshire during 2014/15 (approved by the Health & Wellbeing Board on 4 June 2015), the installation of particulate matter (PM) monitoring equipment within the existing automatic monitoring station at High Street, Northchurch following the receipt of Public Health funding and the outcomes of planning decisions and publication of guidance documents. A comprehensive review of the diffusion tube monitoring network was undertaken during 2013, in which seven monitoring sites were decommissioned, thirteen new monitoring sites commissioned and additional tubes (two) added to eight existing monitoring sites within the AQMAs to create triplicates for accuracy and precision purposes.

  • Urban Nature Conservation Study
    DACORUM BOROUGH COUNCIL URBAN NATURE CONSERVATION STUDY Hertfordshire Biological Records Centre March 2006 DACORUM BOROUGH COUNCIL URBAN NATURE CONSERVATION STUDY Hertfordshire Biological Records Centre March 2006 SUMMARY Purpose of study The environment is one of the four main drivers of sustainable development, and in this context biodiversity needs to be fully integrated into planning policy and delivery. As part of the new planning system known as the Local Development Framework, information on urban wildlife is fundamental given the pressure on land resources in and around our towns. The aims of the study are: ‘To provide a well reasoned and coherent strategy for the protection and enhancement of key wildlife areas and network of spaces / natural corridors within the towns and large villages of Dacorum’. The Dacorum Urban Nature Conservation Study considers the wildlife resources within the six major settlements in Dacorum, namely Berkhamsted, Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead, Kings Langley, Markyate and Tring. They were mapped using existing habitat information, additional sites identified from aerial photo interpretation and local knowledge. The areas adjacent to each settlement – up to a distance of 1km – were also mapped in a similar fashion to place the urban areas within the context of their surrounding environments. This process identified the most important sites already known such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest, local sites meeting minimum standards known as ‘Wildlife Sites’, and other sites or features of more local significance within the urban areas known collectively as ‘Wildspace’. These incorporated Hertfordshire Biological Record Centre’s ‘Ecology Sites’ where appropriate, old boundary features such as hedgerows and tree lines, as well as significant garden areas or open spaces which may survive.

  • National Character Area Profile (110 Chilterns)
    National Character 110. Chilterns Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 110. Chilterns Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Understanding Flood Risk in Dacorum Borough
    1 Appendix C: Understanding flood risk in Dacorum Borough 1.1 Dacorum Borough Dacorum Borough covers an area approximately 212km² and has a population of approximately 153,0001. There are 25 wards within the borough, the largest of which is Apsley and Corner Hall with a population of approximately 10,2002. Other sizeable wards include Bovingdon, Flaunden & Chipperfield, Chaulden & Warners End and Leverstock Green. The Chilterns dominate the north of the borough amongst agricultural land. The southern and eastern areas are urbanised by small villages and hamlets with the two large towns of Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted. 1.2 Hydrology The principal watercourses (Appendix A) in the borough are as follows: • River Gade (source located in the central band of the borough) • River Bulbourne (source located near Northchurch) • River Ver (begins in the grounds of Lynch Lodge, Kensworth Lynch) • Tring Bourne (minor watercourse located to the north-west) There are numerous tributaries to these watercourses including Main Rivers, The Grand Union Canal, smaller Ordinary Watercourses and unnamed watercourses. A summary of watercourses within the Borough is provided in Appendix A. Following the EA’s Management Catchments, Dacorum Borough lies within the Thames and Chilterns South catchment in the north-west, and the Colne catchment which forms the majority of the borough. The Thame and Colne are the EA Operational Catchments within the borough. Average rainfall within the borough at Rothamsted No2 (nearest climate station) indicates average annual rainfall of 712mm which is relatively dry compared to the rest of the UK3. 1.3 Topography The topography of the Borough primarily comprises a plateau of elevated land which form the Chilterns to the north and north west of the borough linked with the valley slopes of the Rive Gade and River Bulbourne.
