Plans and strategies such as the Somerset Minerals Plan are subject to a process called Sustainability Appraisal, which assesses the potential impacts of a plan on social, economic, and environmental issues. Somerset County Council has commissioned independent consultants (LUC) to carry out SA of the emerging Minerals Plan on its behalf. This Non-Technical Summary relates to the full SA Report for the Somerset Minerals Plan Preferred Options Paper (November 2012), and should be read alongside those two documents. The Somerset Minerals Plan 1.2 The Minerals Plan Preferred Options Paper contains the draft wording of policies that will shape future minerals development within Somerset. The purpose of the Minerals Plan is to ensure that policy is defined for long enough to provide the minerals industry with a clear picture of the future to enable decisions about investment to be made. It gives certainty to local communities about minerals development in their area in terms of where activity is now and is likely to be over the next plan period. It also sets out what limits and controls should be placed on minerals activity to ensure any negative environmental and community impacts are mitigated as far as possible and at an acceptable level. 1.3 The final Minerals Plan is expected to be adopted in 2014, and should cover the period up to 2030. It has to consider the need to contribute towards national, regional and local need for minerals together with social, environmental and economic considerations. Once adopted the Somerset Minerals Plan will replace the ‘saved’ policies from the Somerset Minerals Local Plan that was adopted in 2004. Sustainability Appraisal Methodology Stage A: Setting the Context and Objectives, Establishing the Baseline and Deciding on the Scope 1.4 The Sustainability Appraisal process began in 2007 when the original Scoping Report for the Minerals and Waste Development Framework was sent to the three statutory consultation bodies for consultation (Natural England, English Heritage and the Environment Agency) alongside other key stakeholders. This report was produced by Scott Wilson on behalf of Somerset County Council and comprised a review of baseline information, relevant policy objectives, and the development of a framework of sustainability objectives and indicators. 1.5 Comments were received and taken in to account and incorporated, alongside those of LUC with regards to minerals, in a revised Scoping Report in October 2010. This revised Scoping Report was also made available for comment by the statutory consultees and other interested stakeholders. 1.6 The final Scoping Report was published in February 2011. Somerset Minerals Plan Preferred Options 1 December 2012 Sustainability Appraisal Report Stage B: Developing and Refining Options and Assessing Effects 1.7 Developing options for a plan is an iterative process usually involving a number of consultations with public and stakeholders. The Sustainability Appraisal can help to identify where there may be other ‘reasonable alternatives’ to the options being considered for a plan. 1.8 The options/reasonable alternatives for Somerset’s Minerals Plan have been investigated through the plan development process, first through consultation on a series of topic papers, and then through publication of the Minerals Options Paper in December 2011. At each stage LUC provided advice on the refinement of options for the Minerals Plan, culminating with the production of the Interim Sustainability Appraisal Report in 2011. 1.9 The Interim Sustainability Appraisal Report was drafted in mid-2011, appraising the issues and options set out in the draft Minerals Options Paper, July 2011. The final Interim SEA/SA Report (December 2011) provided an appraisal of the original (July 2011) and additional (December 2011) policy options for completeness. The Interim Sustainability Appraisal Report was published for consultation alongside the final Minerals Options Paper in December 2011. No comments were received on the Interim Sustainability Appraisal Report. Stage C: Preparing the Sustainability Appraisal Report 1.10 The Sustainability Appraisal Report describes the process undertaken to date in carrying out the appraisal of the Somerset Minerals Plan. It sets out the findings of the appraisal of the Minerals Plan Preferred Options Paper, highlighting any likely significant effects (both positive and negative), making recommendations for improvements and clarifications to the Plan. Stage D: Consulting on the Submission Plan and SA Report 1.11 Somerset County Council is inviting representations on the Minerals Plan Preferred Options Paper and the SA Report. Stage E: Monitoring Implementation of the Plan 1.12 The final section of the Sustainability Appraisal Report sets out recommendations for monitoring the significant social, environmental and economic effects of implementing the Somerset Minerals Plan. These monitoring proposals should be considered within the context of the broader monitoring framework for the Minerals Plan and the Somerset County Council Annual Monitoring Report. Difficulties encountered 1.13 Sustainability Appraisal inevitably relies on an element of subjective judgement. In predicting and assessing the sustainability effects of the Minerals Plan Preferred Options Paper the appraisal has drawn on the analysis of the baseline situation, the characteristics of Somerset and the sustainability issues the County faces, plus professional experience. 1.14 The experience of the Sustainability Appraisal team, plus helpful guidance and information from Somerset County Council, has enabled the SA to progress with no identifiable technical deficiencies or lack of know how. This has been possible in part to the detailed work undertaken by Somerset County Council in developing the evidence base for the Minerals Plan. Policy Context 1.15 The Somerset Minerals Plan is influenced by, and should have regard to, the relevant environmental, social and economic objectives at international, national, regional and local levels. There is a large number of potentially relevant policy documents. Those that are particularly important for the Somerset Minerals Plan are summarised below. Somerset Minerals Plan Preferred Options 2 December 2012 Sustainability Appraisal Report Kyoto Protocol 1.16 The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement that sets binding targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The emerging Minerals Plan will need to comply with the Protocol, and ensure that mineral extraction helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions where possible. Water Framework Directive 1.17 The emerging Minerals Plan will need to comply with the European Union’s Water Framework Directive, which protects inland surface waters, transitional waters, coastal waters and groundwaters. It aims to reduce pollution of groundwater and prevents its further pollution, which may impact mineral operations. Air Quality Directive 1.18 The European Union’s Directive on ambient air quality assessment and management aims to “avoid, prevent and reduce harmful effects of ambient noise pollution on human health and the environment”. The emerging Minerals Plan will need to comply with the Directive, and ensure that harmful effects on air quality from mineral extraction activities in Somerset will be avoided where possible. Habitats Directive 1.19 The emerging Minerals Plan will also need to comply

(ST465389) Oh yes, and Tansley was also the author of The New Clive Lovatt Psychology and its Relation to Life (1920). By 1923 it had sold over 10,000 copies – almost seven times the print run of his Types (1911). Between late 1923 and 1925 he visited Vienna for two several-month periods as a student of Sigmund Freud and on his return, he became a full member of the British Psycho-Analytical Society. Indeed Tansley had a dream ‘Out of Africa’ (which he had visited) involving a gun, Africans in the bush with spears and a ‘Woman in White’, perhaps his wife but according to Freud, representing Tansley’s undying love of botany – personified as Flora herself.

  • Local Environment Agency Plan
    local environment agency plan WEST SOMERSET RIVERS CONSULTATION REPORT FEBRUARY 1998 BRISTOL BRIDGWATER DISPLAY COPY PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE En v ir o n m e n t H A g e n c y National Information Centre The Environment Agency Rio House Waterside Drive Aztec West BRISTOL BSI2 4UD Due for return l.fe Foreword This Local Environment Agency Plan (LEAP) Consultation Report represents a significant step forward in tackling environmental issues. It has been clear for many years that the problems of land, air and water, particularly in the realm of pollution control, cannot be adequately addressed individually. They are interdependent, each affecting the others. The creation of the Environment Agency with the responsibilities for all three media provided a major opportunity to take an holistic approach which is now reflected in this LEAP Consultation Report. The Plan area includes significant parts of Exmoor National Park and the Quantocks Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which are nationally prized for their, exceptional wild beauty. It also includes the major seaside resort of Minehead together with other tourist centres such as Poiiock, Watchet and Dunster which support a developing tourist industry. Here in West Somerset, we must be ever vigilant to protect our local environment from the growing pressures of tourism and development whilst recognising their importance in the local economy. The environmental challenges of the area are set out in the Plan in a way which has not been done before, raising important environmental issues which should now be addressed. It is, I believe, vital reading for everyone concerned with the environmental future of North Wessex.

  • CFE County Priorities for Somerset
    CFE County Priorities for Somerset 1. Aim This document has been drawn together by the CFE Local Liaison Group for Somerset with input for all LLG members and their respective organisations. The aim is to ensure that all advisers and partners have a clear, concise and consistent message about the aims of CFE in Somerset that can be used by farmers and landowners to ensure their actions deliver maximum benefit to the environment. The action undertaken on each farm may differ depending on the farm type and enterprise. 2. County Overview There are four key landscapes to Somerset; firstly the Somerset Levels and Moors, which extend across parts of the north and centre of the county; Clevedon to Glastonbury to Ilchester and Langport. This consists of flat, open and exposed fields with little woodland cover; the main features are rivers and the floodplain and coastal grazing marsh which allow productive farming. Most farms are on higher ground with small field sizes and predominantly dairy systems with beef and sheep and a few arable enterprises. To the north of this flat landscape, the Mendip Hills rise abruptly. This limestone ridge is a very rural area, still with large-scale quarrying particularly in the east of the area. This is predominantly calcareous grassland and woodland. To the west of the county the Vale of Taunton and Quantock Hills sit between the Levels and Moors and Exmoor and the Devon border. Here the steep moorland-topped Quantock Hills contrasts with the open character of the Moors and Levels. It is lush pastoral land, but with mixed farming with fertile soils in part and irregular small to medium sized fields.

  • Site Improvement Plan Exmoor & Quantock Oakwoods
    Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan Exmoor & Quantock Oakwoods Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS). Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the site(s) and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIPs are based on Natural England's current evidence and knowledge. The SIPs are not legal documents, they are live documents that will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as actions get underway.
