The fantastic response rate and obvious willingness of the community to engage with the process demonstrates how much people love and value the character and amenities of their villages and how much already exists that is worth fighting to preserve and enhance. I think the preference for small developments and a good mix of properties and the emphasis on minimising noise and light pollution from any future developments at Porton Down together form a very strong basis for future community inputs into the planning process because they demonstrate that your collective approach is founded on realism. This statement does not seek to preserve the villages in aspic but identifies sensible and achievable ways to make sure that they remain attractive and peaceful places to live. By working together, the three villages have both strengthened the ideas that you have in common and underlined the importance of preserving the individuality of each community by retaining the green spaces that divide them.

  • A303 Stonehenge Amesbury to Berwick Down Technical Appraisal Report Volume 5 Appendix D Initial Route Option Assessment (Design Fix C)
    A303 Stonehenge Amesbury to Berwick Down Technical Appraisal Report Volume 5 Appendix D Initial route option assessment (Design Fix C) Public Consultation 2017 A303 Amesbury to Berwick Down | HE551506 Appendix D Initial route option assessment (Design Fix C) A303 Amesbury to Berwick Down | HE551506 D.1 Initial route option assessment (Design Fix C) A303 Amesbury to Berwick Down | HE551506 Appendix D: Initial route options assessment (Design Fix C) 1 Introduction The Initial Corridors Appraisal in Design Fix A recommended Corridor D and Corridor F as the preferred corridors for development and assessment of route options for the new improvement scheme. As part of Design Fix B, ten route options have then been developed for the two Corridors, informed by the previous studies that have been undertaken for the scheme. However three of the ten route options utilised a 4.5km long tunnel under the WHS. All three options were assessed to generate scheme capital costs in the region of £2 Billion which significantly exceeded the scheme budget and were immediately rejected on affordability grounds. The methodology used to appraise the remaining seven route options developed within the preferred Corridors D and F, follows on from that used for the Initial Corridors Appraisal in Design Fix A, and consists of the Transport Business Case Five Case Model criteria using the Option Assessment Framework contained within the Web-based Transport Analysis Guidance (WebTAG) Transport Appraisal Process. The more detailed assessment methodologies and the assessments of the Corridor D and the Corridor F route options are detailed below. These are based on the Transport Business Case Five Case Model criteria and use the Option Assessment Framework contained within the WebTAG Transport Appraisal Process.

  • Punch List” of Key Terms and Research Strategies for the Essay Paper
    Researching Transcript Terms Research Tasks for Class & Media Lab Work Objective: to develop a “punch list” of key terms and research strategies for the essay paper. Hopefully, your terms are spelled correctly. If not, use a dictionary or Google search. Use the Punch List Form as a check list for what needs to be looked up, where items are located, and to keep track of sources once they have been found. More detailed information is found in the OHP Manual on FirstClass. [Noodle tools or 2007 Word will help you with the bibliography later. For the technically skilled, use the „references‟ tab in Word to work with managing sources, to follow the Chicago Manual of style, or to insert citations or endnotes. You will receive guidance on this in class, too.] Three Step Process Step 1 Identification: skim through your transcript to the most interesting or anecdotal sections. Highlight all words that relate to a) potentially a famous person, b) location of battle or battle event, c) specific types of aircraft/ships/transportation, d) military acronyms, or e) other. Step 2 – Ask probing questions and then locate useful and accurate information. Step 3 – Record and cite the sources correctly. “Learn by Doing” Step 1: Highlight by color-coding all important known and unknown terms; ID possible additional terms of interest. Comment [kwl1]: General questions for research based on terms in the transcript. Do not bother with Step 2: What questions should be asked? See review notes on the side of page for examples. items that are too generic or too broad (see examples below) Do this electronically with your own transcript.
