It is importont that sufficient room is provided for young trees to mature. The mature spread of a tree may be half the mature height each way. (Please refer to Appendix 2 for indicotive mature height and spread of popular speciesj. 4) Provide protective fencing A strong sturdy fence must be erected at a height of 1.5m around the tree to be retained. The fence must enclose at least the area covered by the spread of the branches. No materials should be stored within this area, as this will cause general compaction and could ultimately destroy the tree. 3.9 Where existing woodland is to be retained within a development site, proposals should be submitted for appropriate monagement of the areas to ensure their long term survival. Grants are available for the preparation and implementation of management schemes for existing woodland from the Forestry Commission (see page 16). Grants are also available from the Forestry Commission for tree planting if the areas are appropriately sized. Designers and developers are urged to make contact with the Forestry Commission in order to clarify eligibility for their individual proposals. 3.10 The developer will be expected to submit comprehensive details of the protection methods to be implemented in association with the existing ,ioid root disturbance landscape features.

  • Welsh Government Summary of Events Following The
    Public Accounts Committee - Additional Written Evidence Summary of events following the Statutory Inquiry at Tai Cantref The Statutory Inquiry report was completed in October 2015. The report found multiple instances of mismanagement and misconduct. The report made no comment beyond its brief to establish whether there was evidence to support the serious allegations made by whistle blowers. It made no recommendations or commentary on possible ways forward. Tai Cantref’s Board were given until 13th November 2015 to set out a credible response and plan to deal with the findings of the inquiry. The Welsh Government Regulation Team (the Regulator) considered that the initial response was inadequate in both the association’s acceptance of the findings and its intentions and commitment to tackling the issues raised. The Board was also required to share a copy of the Inquiry with its lenders who were similarly concerned with the response and reserved the right to enforce loan conditions. By this point an event of default had been triggered in Tai Cantref’s loan agreements. Following detailed discussions, including with lenders, the Board was given a second chance to respond to the findings. Shortly after this decision was notified to Tai Cantref, the Chair resigned and an existing Board member was unanimously appointed as the new Chair. The Board then took a number of key decisions which provided assurance it was now seeking to respond to the findings: the Board appointed a consultant to provide immediate support the Board to address the Inquiry findings. three suitably experienced, first language welsh speakers, were co- opted to strengthen the Board.

  • IV. the Cantrefs of Morgannwg
    ; THE TRIBAL DIVISIONS OF WALES, 273 Garth Bryngi is Dewi's honourable hill, CHAP. And Trallwng Cynfyn above the meadows VIII. Llanfaes the lofty—no breath of war shall touch it, No host shall disturb the churchmen of Llywel.^si It may not be amiss to recall the fact that these posses- sions of St. David's brought here in the twelfth century, to re- side at Llandduw as Archdeacon of Brecon, a scholar of Penfro who did much to preserve for future ages the traditions of his adopted country. Giraldus will not admit the claim of any region in Wales to rival his beloved Dyfed, but he is nevertheless hearty in his commendation of the sheltered vales, the teeming rivers and the well-stocked pastures of Brycheiniog.^^^ IV. The Cantrefs of Morgannwg. The well-sunned plains which, from the mouth of the Tawe to that of the Wye, skirt the northern shore of the Bristol Channel enjoy a mild and genial climate and have from the earliest times been the seat of important settlements. Roman civilisation gained a firm foothold in the district, as may be seen from its remains at Cardiff, Caerleon and Caerwent. Monastic centres of the first rank were established here, at Llanilltud, Llancarfan and Llandaff, during the age of early Christian en- thusiasm. Politically, too, the region stood apart from the rest of South Wales, in virtue, it may be, of the strength of the old Silurian traditions, and it maintained, through many vicissitudes, its independence under its own princes until the eve of the Norman Conquest.

  • Judgement Under the Law of Wales
    05 Smith SC39 18/1/06 1:26 pm Page 63 STUDIA CELTICA, XXXIX (2005), 63–103 Judgement under the Law of Wales J. BEVERLEY SMITH Aberystwyth Tres diversi iudices sunt in Kambria secundum legem Howel Da: scilicet, iudex curie principalis per servitoriam, id est, swyt, cum rege semper de Dinewr vel Aberffraw; et unus solus iudex kymwd vel cantreff per swyt in qualibet curia de placitis in Gwynet et Powys; et iudex per dignitatem terre in qualibet curia kymwd vel cantref de Deheubarth, scilicet, quisque possessor terre. In its discussion of judges in Wales and the means by which judgements were given in court the text of Bodleian Rawlinson MS C821, Latin D, makes a distinction between three kinds of judges.1 The first was the judge (iudex) of each of the principal courts of Dinefwr and Aberffraw, who judged by virtue of office; second, there were judges (iudices) by virtue of office in the court of law of each commote or cantref in Gwynedd and Powys; and, third, there were judges (iudices) by privilege of land in each court of a commote or cantref in Deheubarth, namely every possessor of land.2 Judgements were distinguished in the same way, namely those of the king’s court, those of a judge by virtue of office in each commote or cantref in Gwynedd or Powys, and those of a judge not by virtue of office but by privilege of land in Deheubarth.3 The judge first identified in these passages, the judge of the court (ynad llys, brawdwr llys or iudex curie), looms large in the legal liter- ature as one of the principal officers of the king’s household, but the functions of his office, which have been examined elsewhere, stand apart from the subject matter of the present work and will not be noticed further.4 This study is concerned rather with the implications of the clear differentiation made in the text of Latin D between two species of judge and two forms of judgement that could be recognized in the courts of the princes’ territories, one associated with the courts of Gwynedd and Powys and the other with those of Deheubarth.

  • Press Release
    Monmouth Labour Party Labour’s David Simcock wins Abergavenny Town Council election 17 August 2015 Labour candidate David Simcock has won the Abergavenny Town Council by-election which took place on 13 August. The election for the Cantref Ward came about because of the resignation of a Conservative Councillor. After the count David said: “I'd like to thank voters for giving me the opportunity serve Cantref and to work with fellow Councillors to improve things for the town as a whole. This is a fantastic result for Cantref and for the great team who worked with me on the campaign. Now the really hard work begins. “Talking to me on the doorstep, people have been keen to voice their ideas about improving Abergavenny. The Town Council’s decisions should take those ideas into account. It's good to live in a place where people care so much about the future of the town.” A Cantref Ward resident in Mount Street said, “I’m pleased David won the election. He has knocked on many doors during the past month, so we know he is willing to work hard. I can't remember when we last had a Labour person representing people in Cantref Ward, either on the Town Council or on the County Council. This is good news”. A resident of Orchard Street said: “I voted for David Simcock because he has good ideas and has put in a lot of effort”. Votes cast were as follows: David Simcock (Labour): 198, Roger Fury (Conservative): 170, Christopher Copner (Independent): 69. Voter turnout at 26.5% was relatively high for a Town Council election.
