This assessment was undertaken in accordance with Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) guidelines (Defra, 2006a). Because of the large number of watercourses within the study area a screening exercise was carried out which identified all significant watercourses within the study area and determined whether these should be carried through to the Appendix F assessment. The screening exercise identified that the following watercourses should be subjected to the full Appendix F assessment: .

  • Re: Llanfair PG 400 - 25/05/13 - Part 2
    Re: Llanfair PG 400 - 25/05/13 - part 2 Joining the old coast road just after leaving Connah's Quay was a time to get on with the job: it's a fast link road between the A494 expressway and the old coast road through to Prestatyn and just after we joined it squeezes from dual to single-carriageway, and this is the traditional place for white-van-man to take the outside lane for one more overtake before Flint, leaving us cyclists rather exposed. Fortunately nothing bad came of it, but the traffic was stacked up right through Flint, meaning we were bouncing along the chevrons in the middle of the road to make progress. Flint's not a nice place at the best of times (this is just my opinion, corroborated by many) , and luckily today seemed alright, but it was still nice to begin the big climb of the day, which starts in the middle of Flint and heads about 260m up in the space of 4km onto Halkyn Mountain. [Edit: I forgot to mention that Flint has a castle, a real one, but you can't see it from the road.] The initial part of the climb is steep (an attempt at preventing Flinters from leaving?), levels off for a bit of respite, and then gets really steep and shitty: it was wet and dirty, but even on the dry tarmac, the roadstone had been worn smooth causing back-wheel slippage. A real soft-pedalling technique required here. I rode the bottom half with mds101, who rode off the front, and I was passed by srsteve, who was trying to catch up with mds101.

  • Anglesey Seascape Character Assessment 1
    Anglesey Seascape Character Assessment Anglesey Seascape Character Assessment 1.1 This Seascape Character Assessment was commissioned in January 2013 by Isle of Anglesey Council with assistance from the Countryside Council for Wales (now Natural Resources Wales). It was prepared by Fiona Fyfe Associates, with Countryscape and Bangor University (SEACAMS), in 2013. 1.2 Seascape character assessment is a development of the well-established process of landscape character assessment. It divides the study area into Seascape Character Types (SCTs) (areas of recognisable character which occur across the study area) and Seascape Character Areas (SCAs) (geographically-distinct areas with a unique sense of place, and comprised of different combinations of SCTs). 1.3 The study area for the project includes coastal land, the intertidal zone, and extends out to the territorial limit (12 nautical miles offshore). Where land outside the study area boundary contributes to seascapes this has been recorded. Within the study area there is a great diversity of terrestrial, intertidal and marine environments. These stem from the varied geology, geomorphology and coastal processes within the area, and also from thousands of years of human activity on land and sea. Combinations of natural and cultural processes continue to shape the evolution of the area’s seascapes. 1.4 The project brief set out a number of purposes for the report, summarised as follows: Contributing to marine spatial planning, and playing an integrating role in the spatialisation of coastal landscape and seascape issues. Informing reviews of the Management Plans for Snowdonia National Park and Anglesey Coast AONB. Extending the coverage of landscape/ seascape assessment beyond the National Park and AONB boundaries (which follow the high water mark) in order to help ascertain the potential impacts of coastal and offshore developments on these protected landscapes.
