Executive Board REPORT NO. HCWD/48/12 DATE . AGENDA ITEM NO. 14 REPORT TO: Executive Board REPORT NO. HCWD/48/12 DATE: 11 September 2012 LEAD MEMBER: Councillor Mark Pritchard (Housing and Planning) CONTACT OFFICER: David Watson (Tel: 298750) SUBJECT: Understanding Urban Character: Cefn Mawr and District Urban Characterisation Study WARD: Cefn Mawr, Llangollen Rural, Ruabon, Chirk North 1 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT 1.1 To seek adoption of the Cefn Mawr and District: Understanding Urban Character study produced by Cadw for use as Supplementary Planning Guidance to inform planning policy, future development and regeneration initiatives in the environs of the World Heritage Site of Pontcysyllte, and to encourage a closer integration between the World Heritage Site and the settlements associated with it. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2.1 The document has been produced by Cadw as part of series of similar studies of towns across Wales. This is the first of three studies being prepared for the principal settlements located within the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal World Heritage Site and Buffer Zone; studies for Llangollen and Chirk are due to follow in 2013-14.The study aims to define and explain the historical character and distinctiveness of the adjoining towns, villages and settlements, to help inform the management of change in this highly sensitive area. A map to indicate the extent of the study in relation to the World Heritage Site Buffer Zone has been included within Appendix 1. 2.2 Urban characterisation seeks to inform and support positive conservation and regeneration programmes, to help improve the quality of planning advice, and contribute to local interpretation and education strategies. It defines the distinctive historical character of individual towns, and identifies the variety of character within them, recognising that this character is fundamental to local distinctiveness and pride of place, and is an asset in regeneration. It considers how the history of a town is expressed in its plan and topography, in areas of archaeological potential, and in its architectural character. The survey is not just an audit of features, but a reconstruction of the themes and processes which have shaped the town. 2.3 It is intended that the document be adopted for use as Supplementary Planning Guidance and used in the formulation and consideration of development proposals, in conjunction with the adopted Unitary Development Plan, the emerging Local Development Plan and other Supplementary Planning Guidance where appropriate, to support positive conservation and regeneration programmes within the area. 3 RECOMMENDATION 3.1 That the Executive Board: Approve the adoption the Cefn Mawr and District: Understanding Urban Character, as finalised and published by Cadw for use as Supplementary Planning Guidance REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION To ensure that the distinct character of the settlements surrounding the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal World Heritage Site is recognised and safeguarded within future alterations and new development. 4. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 4.1 The Cefn Mawr and District study aims to describe and explain the historic character of the principal settlements within the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal World Heritage Site and Buffer Zone to give a focus to local distinctiveness and serve as a tool for the sustainable management of the historic environment. The study looks at the historical development of Cefn Mawr and the surrounding settlements of Rhosymedre, Cefn Bychan, Newbridge & Dolydd, Froncysyllte, Trevor & Tref y Nant, Acrefair and Plas Madoc focusing upon how the former industries and associated transport networks influenced the development of the area, and explains how these influences contribute to the distinct character and appearance of the area today. 4.2 The objective of adopting the document is to inform conservation and regeneration schemes within the settlements surrounding the World Heritage Site. The document is intended to be used in conjunction with the adopted Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal World Heritage Site Local Planning Guidance Note to provide developers, key stakeholders and Council Officers with a better understanding of area’s character and development. A better understanding of character will improve design, raise the quality of the area, and reinforce the character and distinctiveness of the settlements which contribute to the authenticity and value of the World Heritage Site. 4.3 The document will be published by Cadw and will be available bilingually on the Cadw website. In addition relevant links to the document will be created from Planning Services webpages and a small number of paper copies will be requested to issue to individuals and groups unable to access the information electronically. A final draft copy of the document is included in Appendix 1. 4.4 Policy. 4.4.1 Community Strategy The Characterisation Study accords in particular with the strategic priority: Creating a place that cares for, and is proud of the environment: The Characterisation Study will help increase the appreciation and care of the historic built environment. 4.4.2 Unitary Development Plan (UDP) The UDP states that, ‘the Council is committed to action to rectify the damage done in the past, to prevent further deterioration, and to conserve and enhance those landscape elements which form an important part of the local heritage and its residents’ quality of life.” 4.5 Budget. There are no budget requirements 4.6 Legal. There are no legal requirements 4.7 Staffing. There are no staffing requirements 4.8 Equalities. 4.8.1 The adoption of the Cefn Mawr and District: Understanding Urban Character study for use as Supplementary Planning Guidance will inform future planning policy, development proposals and regeneration initiatives within the World Heritage site and buffer. It will encourage a closer integration between the WHS and those settlements associated with it. 4.8.2 The key aim is to ensure that any new development has no adverse physical or visual impact on the WHS and that the integrity of the site is maintained so that it can be appreciated by future generations. The WHS is valued as part of our cultural heritage, contributing to local distinctiveness and our sense of identity as well as enhancing our quality of life. 4.8.3 Public consultation was carried out during February and March 2012. This involved local members, Community Councils, residents of Cefn Mawr and groups with an interest in the historic environment of the area. At the end of this period no negative responses were received. 4.8.4 Planning officers have conducted an assessment to determine whether the aim of the document, or how it is implemented, could result in less favourable treatment for any group of people with protected characteristics. This assessment concluded that the guidance does not have a negative affect on any group of people but is likely to have a positive affect on all communities as it will aim to maintain and improve the WHS for future generations. EASI system reference EIA/00604. 4.8.5 The document’s aim to improve the built environment for all communities is in line with the Council’s Community Strategy 2009-2020 which aims to make Wrexham an economically prosperous place and a place that cares for the environment. This strategy was subject to a full equality impact assessment and extensive public consultation. 4.8.6 The aims and objectives of the Supplementary Planning Document is supported by the Unitary Development Plan which seeks to protect and enhance our historic and natural environmental assets and was itself subject to a full equality impact assessment and extensive public consultation. 4.8.7 Any Planning Application which affects the WHS is subject to an extensive consultation process and may need to provide a detailed Access and Design statements to show how the development meets the needs of all communities and makes a positive contribution to the amenity of the area. 5. CONSULTATION 5.1 Consultation on this document was undertaken concurrently with the Cefn Mawr Management Plan and Conservation Area Character Assessment which will be reported separately to the Executive Board. 5.2 Public consultation was carried out during February and March 2012. This involved local members, Community Councils, groups with an interest in the historic environment of the area, residents of Cefn Mawr Conservation Area and national amenity societies including The Victorian Society, The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales. Other departments within the Council were also consulted. No consultation responses were received in relation to the document. 5.3 The issue was referred to the Planning Committee on 30th July 2012. The recommendation was to adopt the Cefn Mawr and District Understanding Urban Character Study. 6 EVALUATION OF OPTIONS 6.1 The document has been produced by Cadw to help inform the management of change within the principal settlements surrounding the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal World Heritage Site. To be consistent Cadw are preparing similar studies for the settlements of Chirk and Llangollen, the other principle settlements bounding the inscribed site. The option to not produce additional guidance on local distinctiveness and character within this highly sensitive area may diminish the authenticity and integrity of the WHS and subsequently detract from its Outstanding Universal Value. 6.2 The final form of the document has emerged through Cadw’s extensive research on the

  • Town Tree Cover in Wrexham County Borough
    1 Town Tree Cover in Wrexham County Borough Understanding canopy cover to better plan and manage our urban trees 2 Foreword Introducing a world-first for Wales is a great pleasure, particularly as it relates to greater knowledge about the hugely valuable woodland and tree resource in our towns and cities. We are the first country in the world to have undertaken a country-wide urban canopy cover survey. The resulting evidence base set out in this supplementary county specific study for Wrexham County Borough will help all of us - from community tree interest groups to urban planners and decision-makers in local authorities Emyr Roberts Diane McCrea and our national government - to understand what we need to do to safeguard this powerful and versatile natural asset. Trees are an essential component of our urban ecosystems, delivering a range of services to help sustain life, promote well-being, and support economic benefits. They make our towns and cities more attractive to live in - encouraging inward investment, improving the energy efficiency of buildings – as well as removing air borne pollutants and connecting people with nature. They can also mitigate the extremes of climate change, helping to reduce storm water run-off and the urban heat island. Natural Resources Wales is committed to working with colleagues in the Welsh Government and in public, third and private sector organisations throughout Wales, to build on this work and promote a strategic approach to managing our existing urban trees, and to planting more where they will

    Wrexham County Borough Council Election Results 1995-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
