www.wyg.com WYG Planning & Environment part of the WYG group 1 Introduction This statement should be read in conjunction with the documents accompanying the application, notably the Environment Statement (October 2011) and Environmental Statement Addendum (August 2012), collectively referred to hereafter as “the ES”, and other specialist reports. The purpose of this statement is to examine the character and structure of the development in accordance with the requirements for Design and Access Statements as set out in Planning Policy Wales Technical Advice Note 12: Design and the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure)(Wales)Order, 2012. This report provides an overview of the early design work for the wider town centre proposals, exploring what the place might become, as set out in the Design and Access Statement and Addendum DAS, prepared by Holder Mathias Architects with input from the Valad design team, accompanying the outline planning application for the wider town centre proposal (LPA ref 11/1330/13). This DAS utilises and builds upon that work, repeating and reiterating relevant sections and providing further detail in respect of phase 1 of the town centre (i.e. the development the subject of this full application), as appropriate. Full acknowledgement is given to Holder Mathias Architects in this regard. It provides an analysis of the site as existing, the constraints and opportunities which arise from that site and the commercial and other drivers governing the overall concept. 1.1 The Site The Strategic Site is situated to the west of Cardiff, just south of the historic medieval hill town of Llantrisant. It lies at the southern end of Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough. The M4 motorway forms a physical and psychological barrier in these parts: directly south of the M4 is the rural Vale of Glamorgan, whereas to the north lie the former mining valleys of the Rhondda. Llantrisant Talbot Green commands a unique position straddling these two contrasting areas. The phase 1 site itself comprises part brown field industrial land (the former industrial buildings having been removed) and part Greenfield land forming the north-western extent of the Pant Marsh SINC. The site measures approximately 8.6 hectares. The Council’s Local Development Plan identifies a Strategic Site (SSA8). The town centre forms one part of this site and the supermarket and phase 1 development forms one part of the town centre. The masterplan

  • Ely Catchmcnt Management Plan Consultation Report ENVIRONMENT AGENCY
    Ely Catchmcnt Management Plan Consultation Report ENVIRONMENT AGENCY NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE HEAD OFFICE Rio House. Waterside Drive. Aztec West, Almondsbury. Bristol BS32 4UD Infv tion Centre H v:ju Office Cio^s No Accession Mo I ENVIRONMENT AGENCY 092001 INTRODUCTION Never before has there been such a pressing need to conserve our rivers, lakes and coastal waters to support the rapidly increasing recreational, domestic, agricultural and industrial demands placed upon them. On the other hand, the need to protect life and property from flooding has never been greater. The NRA has a wide range of responsibilities for the control of the water environment, and seeks to reconcile the conflicts raised by the competing needs for water. In particular the NRA is responsible for: • conservation • water resources • pollution control • flood defence and flood warning • maintenance and improvements of fisheries • nature conservation in water related habitats • promotion of water based recreation • control of navigation, in some areas. The NRA believes that it can only carry out its work by adopting the concept of integrated catchment management. This means that a river catchment is considered as a whole and the actions in each of the NRA areas of responsibility must take account of the possible impact on other areas. The NRA has decided to formally present its catchment management policies to the public via Catchment Management Plans which will be produced for all the rivers in Wales by 1998. The Plans are intended to provide a link between the NRA and the users of water in each catchment so that the Authority can better reflect their interests whilst carrying out its duties.

  • River Pollution in Cardiff
    CITY & COUNTY OF CARDIFF DINAS A SIR CAERDYDD ENVIRONMENTAL SCRUTINY COMMITTEE 15 MARCH 2016 RIVER POLLUTION IN CARDIFF Reason for the Report 1. To provide Members of the Environmental Scrutiny Committee with the opportunity to review the water quality of Cardiff’s three rivers and supporting tributaries. In particular this scrutiny will focus on: • The water quality of Cardiff’s three main rivers and tributaries; • The work being undertaken to manage and monitor river pollution in Cardiff’s three main rivers and tributaries; • The wider work being undertaken to keep Cardiff’s three main rivers and tributaries clean; • The challenges faced in keeping Cardiff’s three main rivers and tributaries clean and healthy; • The impact that the water quality in Cardiff’s three main rivers and tributaries is having on the local environment. Background 2. The majority of Cardiff is located on a large flood plain which hosts three rivers; the Taff, the Ely and the Rhymney. The three rivers flow into the Bristol Channel and along with a series of supporting tributaries they provide drainage for a large section of South East Wales. 3. The three rivers have played a significant role in the economic, geographical and social development of Cardiff. They continue to provide an important role by supporting a healthy environment, enhancing habitat, providing leisure opportunities, generating energy, supporting the local economy, facilitating drainage and generally supporting well being. 1 4. River Taff - the river Taff rises as two rivers in the Brecon Beacons National Park and runs for a distance of 40 miles to the Bristol Channel at Cardiff.

Appendix 2 – Cardiff Scrutiny Research Team Report – ‘Restore Our Rivers: Best Practice in Managing Ecological Issues’. 2 CHAIR’S FOREWORD About a year ago I was contacted by a number of local anglers who were concerned about the state of the River Ely. They told me that parts of the river were effectively dead and that fish stocks were steadily declining. They were not sure why this was happening, but indicated that general pollution was probably a contributing factor. A little surprised and worried at the thought that my local river was dying I decided to look into the matter. The work started with an item titled ‘River Pollution in Cardiff’ that was hosted by Cardiff’s Environmental Scrutiny Committee. This took place on the 15th March 2016 and considered the problems facing local rivers and how these could be addressed. To shape the discussion we invited our partners at Dwr Cymru, Natural Resources Wales, South East Wales Rivers Trust, Cardiff Rivers Group and Glamorgan Anglers.

    RHONDDA CYNON TAF COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL Flood Risk Management Plan VOLUME 1 Page left intentionally blank Rhondda Cynon Taf C.B.C Flood Risk Management Plan RHONDDA CYNON TAF COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN VOLUME 1 Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council Headquarters The Pavilions Cambrian Park Clydach Vale Tonypandy CF40 2XX Email: [email protected] i Rhondda Cynon Taf C.B.C Flood Risk Management Plan Page left intentionally blank ii Rhondda Cynon Taf C.B.C Flood Risk Management Plan FOREWORD During recent years, communities in Rhondda Cynon Taf have experienced the severe impacts and consequences of flooding. We have also witnessed other areas of the United Kingdom being subjected to devastating flood events. It is widely held that floods such as these are likely to become more frequent as the effects of climate change develop. The consequences of this unchecked expected increase in flooding will likely see greater risks to life, the economy and the environment of Rhondda Cynon Taf. In response to the above, Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council has developed a holistic response to managing flood risk in the form of its first Flood Risk Management Plan. The Flood Risk Management Plan has been prepared with due deference to the objectives outlined in Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council’s Local Flood Risk Management Strategy, published in 2012. The Flood Risk Management Plan is a key milestone in ensuring that the risk of flooding within Rhondda Cynon Taf is managed as a whole, integrating the work done by the Council, Government Bodies, Water Companies, communities and individuals.

  • P-05-948 Achub Y Caeau Gleision Yng Nghefn Yr
    P-05-948 Achub y caeau gleision yng Nghefn yr Hendy, Meisgyn Cyflwynwyd y ddeiseb hon gan Sophie Seymour, ar ôl casglu 696 o lofnodion ar-lein a nifer i’w gadarnhau ar bapur. Geiriad y ddeiseb: Rydym yn galw ar i Gynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru annog i Lywodraeth Cymru atal ei chynlluniau i werthu'r caeau gleision yng Nghefn yr Hendy, Meisgyn ar gyfer 460 o dai. Gofynnwn i Lywodraeth Cymru ddefnyddio ei phwerau i beidio â gwerthu'r tir ar gyfer codi tai a rhoi'r gorau i'w chynlluniau ar gyfer y datblygiad y cafwyd caniatâd cynllunio amlinellol ar ei gyfer yn 2018. Os na ellir atal y datblygiad yn llwyr, gofynnwn am i rai o'r caeau gael eu gadael yn eu cyflwr naturiol. Gweinidogion Cymru sy'n berchen ar y tir. Rydym yn annog i Weinidogion Cymru roi sylw i'r Argyfwng Hinsawdd a ddatganwyd ganddynt a chadw at egwyddorion Deddf Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol trwy dynnu yn ôl, neu leihau'n sylweddol, y cynlluniau ar gyfer adeiladu ar y caeau Cymreig hyfryd hyn. Mae'r caeau'n ffinio ar Goed-yr-Hendy (coetir hynafol), Afon Clun a Chors y Pant, sy'n safle gwarchod natur. Mae gan y caeau ddwy dderwen fawr a chyfoeth o wrychoedd, ac yn rhannau gogleddol y caeau mae nifer dda o lasbrennau coed derw. Bydd gwaith codi tai yn niweidio'r gwrychoedd a'r glasbrennau. Mae Coed-yr-Hendy a'r caeau yn gartref i nifer fawr o adar, mamaliaid bach a phryfed; gwelir adar ac ystlumod yn gyson yn hela eu bwyd uwchben y caeau - ni ddylem ni fynd â hyn oddi arnyn nhw.
