  • Sedgemoor Transport Investment Strategy Policy Context
    Technical Note To Sedgemoor District Council Cc Steven Bishop, Simon Davies From Fiona Jenkins, Ed Robinson Date 5 December 2017 Project Sedgemoor 2050 Transport Investment Project No. 23165801 Strategy Overview of policy context: planning, supporting and delivering growth in Sedgemoor Introduction 1. Steer Davies Gleave has been commissioned by Sedgemoor District Council to support the Council in the development of a transport investment strategy which goes beyond the current Local Plan period (to 2032) and up to 2050. 2. The study is currently in its initial stages. The purpose of this technical note is to present a summary of the policy context in which the transport strategy is being developed, including a summary of the spatial, economic and political changes planned or currently in effect. The note is structured as follows: National policy context Sub-national policy context Local policy context Key themes: PESTLE analysis National policy context National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), 2012) 3. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these should be applied. It is centred around a presumption in favour of sustainable development, which is to be seen as a “golden thread” that runs through plan-making and decision- taking. 4. The NPPF emphasises that the transport system needs to be balanced in favour of sustainable transport modes (defined as “any efficient, safe and accessible means of transport with overall low impact on the environment, including walking and cycling, low and ultra low emission vehicles, car sharing and public transport1”), while at the same time recognising that opportunities to maximise sustainable transport solutions will vary from urban to rural areas.

  • Somerset Rivers Authority End of Year Report 2016-17: Contents
    END OF YEAR REPORT 2016-17 1 SOMERSET RIVERS AUTHORITY END OF YEAR REPORT 2016-17: CONTENTS 1. Introduction (page 2) 2. Performance Delivery: Summary (page 3), Delivery Status: By Funding Source (page 4) Finance: Summary (pages 4 to 5) 3. Progress of Works in Detail Key Projects (pages 6 to 10) SRA 2016-17 Enhanced Programme (pages 11 to 21) INTRODUCTION In 2016-17, Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA) spent just over £6million on actions designed to give Somerset an extra level of flood protection. This end of year report explains where the money came from and how it was spent. It also gives information about projects that have been delayed or had their funding moved to other activities. These details have been provided because the SRA wants people to know what it has achieved across the county – and it wants to be properly accountable. The SRA raises extra money to deliver extra work. Schemes are prioritised for SRA funding on the basis of the main objectives in Somerset’s 20 Year Flood Action Plan, which was developed in response to the floods of winter 2013-14. This report is divided into two sections. Performance covers delivery overall and by funding source, plus a table summarising 2016-17 finance; Progress gives more details about major projects, and smaller actions grouped according to SRA workstream – Dredging & River Management, Land Management, Urban Water Management, Resilient Infrastructure and Building Community Resilience. Somerset’s approach is uniquely joined-up. This report details just one year of the SRA’s extra work. For much more information about earlier years, works in progress and works coming up, visit www.somersetriversauthority.org.uk A note on Somerset Rivers Authority: The SRA is a partnership between 11 of Somerset’s existing flood risk management authorities: Somerset County Council, the five district councils, the Axe Brue and Parrett Internal Drainage Boards, the Environment Agency, Natural England and the Wessex Regional Flood & Coastal Committee.
