For this reason, Landmark's Site Sensitivity maps and Datasheet(s) place great emphasis on statutory data provided by the Environment Agency/Natural Resources Wales and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency; it also incorporates data from Natural England (and the Scottish and Welsh equivalents) and Local Authorities; and highlights hydrogeological features required by environmental and geotechnical consultants. It does not include any information concerning past uses of land. The datasheet is produced by querying the Landmark database to a distance defined by the client from a site boundary provided by the client. In this datasheet the National Grid References (NGRs) are rounded to the nearest 10m in accordance with Landmark's agreements with a number of Data Suppliers. -
Marriott's Way Circular Route Guide
MARRIOTT’S WAY CIRCULAR ROUTE GUIDE WELCOME TO MARRIOTT’S WAY MARRIOTT’S WAY is a 26-mile linear trail for riders, walkers and cyclists. Opened in 1991, it follows part of the route of two former Victorian railway lines, The Midland and Great Northern (M&GN) and Great Eastern Railway (GER). It is named in honour of William Marriott, who was chief engineer and manager of the M&GN for 41 years between 1883 and 1924. Both lines were established in the 1880s to transport passengers, livestock and industrial freight. The two routes were joined by the ‘Themelthorpe Curve’ in 1960, which became the sharpest bend on the entire British railway network. Use of the lines reduced after the Second World War. Passenger traffic ceased in 1959, but the transport of concrete ensured that freight trains still used the lines until 1985. The seven circular walks and two cycle loops in this guide encourage you to head off the main Marriott’s Way route and explore the surrounding areas that the railway served. Whilst much has changed, there’s an abundance of hidden history to be found. Many of the churches, pubs, farms and station buildings along these circular routes would still be familiar to the railway passengers of 100 years ago. 2 Marriott’s Way is a County Wildlife Site and passes through many interesting landscapes rich in wonderful countryside, wildlife, sculpture and a wealth of local history. The walks and cycle loops described in these pages are well signposted by fingerposts and Norfolk Trails’ discs. You can find all the circular trails in this guide covered by OS Explorer Map 238. -

DAVID TYLDESLEY AND ASSOCIATES PLANNING, LANDSCAPE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS Habitat Regulations Assessment: Breckland Council Submission Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Document Durwyn Liley, Rachel Hoskin, John Underhill-Day & David Tyldesley 1 DRAFT Date: 7th November 2008 Version: Draft Recommended Citation: Liley, D., Hoskin, R., Underhill-Day, J. & Tyldesley, D. (2008). Habitat Regulations Assessment: Breckland Council Submission Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Document. Footprint Ecology, Wareham, Dorset. Report for Breckland District Council. 2 Summary This document records the results of a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) of Breckland District Council’s Core Strategy. The Breckland District lies in an area of considerable importance for nature conservation with a number of European Sites located within and just outside the District. The range of sites, habitats and designations is complex. Taking an area of search of 20km around the District boundary as an initial screening for relevant protected sites the assessment identified five different SPAs, ten different SACs and eight different Ramsar sites. Following on from this initial screening the assessment identifies the following potential adverse effects which are addressed within the appropriate assessment: • Reduction in the density of Breckland SPA Annex I bird species (stone curlew, nightjar, woodlark) near to new housing. • Increased levels of recreational activity resulting in increased disturbance to Breckland SPA Annex I bird species (stone curlew, nightjar, woodlark). • Increased levels of people on and around the heaths, resulting in an increase in urban effects such as increased fire risk, fly-tipping, trampling. • Increased levels of recreation to the Norfolk Coast (including the Wash), potentially resulting in disturbance to interest features and other recreational impacts. -

Lewis, adapted by Glyn Robbins and published by Samuel French. The play is directed by Sally Elvin and Ellie Hupton. The story is about four children who are evacuated during the Second World War. They arrive at a very large house. The occupants are a professor and his housekeeper, they welcome the children and hope that they will enjoy their stay. This is where their adventures begin, when Lucy opens a wardrobe door she discovers a magical place called Narnia! Ellie and I have had this play in mind to direct for several years, and we hope that you all enjoy the new experience of something modern and new. -
233 08 SD50 Environment Permitting Decision Document
Environment Agency permitting decisions Bespoke permit We have decided to grant the permit for Didlington Farm Poultry Unit operated by Mr Robert Anderson, Mrs Rosamond Anderson and Mr Marcus Anderson. The permit number is EPR/EP3937EP. 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. Structure of this document • Key issues • Annex 1 the decision checklist • Annex 2 the consultation, web publicising responses. EPR/EP3937EP/A001 Page 1 of 12 Key Issues 1) Ammonia Impacts There are two Special Areas for Conservation (SAC) within 3.4km, one Special Protection Area (SPA) within 850m, seven Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) within 4.9km and six Local Wildlife Sites (LWS) within 1.4km of the facility, one of which is within 250m. Assessment of SAC and SPA 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. Initial screening using Ammonia Screening Tool (AST) v4.4 has indicated that the PC for Breckland SAC, Norfolk Valley Fens SAC and Breckland SPA is predicted to be greater than 4% of the CLe for ammonia. -
