I always anticipate Lent with a slight feeling of having to brace myself. Come on make an effort in something! If I am going to give something up don’t just make it an exercise in self-improvement, how is it going to help others? If I am going to do something positive what will be its long-term effect? It is all too easy to ‘over think’ the whole exercise. Once the season is underway I begin to appreciate it. But in the end Jesus in the Gospel stories. it should be about paying The angels in the attention to God. I am wilderness, the woman always struck by the end Pay who anointed him, of the story of the Simon who carried his temptations in the loving cross for example. We wilderness.

This provides a project update, information about ongoing work and detail about the A303/A358 corridor. Project update Since we last provided an update in the winter 2018 newsletter, the A303 Sparkford to Ilchester dualling scheme has been progressing through the Examination period of the Development Consent Order (DCO) process. This is the planning process required for the scheme, where the DCO application must be approved before the scheme construction can commence. On 12 June 2019 the DCO Examination for the A303 Sparkford to Ilchester dualling scheme closed. The next step in the DCO process will be for the Planning Inspectorate to write a report about the Examination for the Secretary of State for Transport. This report will include a recommendation on whether to refuse or grant the DCO. The report from the Planning Inspectorate will be issued to the Secretary of State for Transport by the end of September 2019. A three-month period will then commence enabling the Secretary of State to decide whether to grant or refuse the DCO. This means a decision should be announced by the end of 2019. The decision will be published alongside the Planning Inspectorate report on the National Infrastructure Planning website. If you would like any more information on the DCO process the project is going through please visit the National Infrastructure Planning website 1 Scheme timeline The timeline below shows the key milestones for the project and the next steps for the scheme now the Examination has closed.

  • North Cadbury Neighbourhood Plan Heritage Assessment on Behalf of North Cadbury and Yarlington Parish Council August 2020
    North Cadbury Neighbourhood Plan Heritage Assessment on behalf of North Cadbury and Yarlington Parish Council August 2020 kim sankey │ architect angel architecture │ design │ interiors Angel Architecture Ltd Registered in England at Unit 4, Herringston Barn, Herringston, Dorchester, Dorset DT2 9PU _____________________________________________________________________ North Cadbury Neighbourhood Plan Heritage Assessment August 2020 NORTH CADBURY Key Features The special interest of North Cadbury lies in its origins as a rural estate village (formerly Cadbury Estate) of mixed farmland demarked by ancient enclosed hedgerows with some C17 and C18 modification. On the edges are C19 historic orchards, bounded by mature hedgerows, and several farmsteads. The orchards are a particularly strong landscape feature in terms of social history and culture as they represented an intensively productive use of land, providing cider for the labouring classes while also allowing the grazing of sheep and poultry. There are many listed buildings but most prominent are the Church and Cadbury Court at the historic core around which development is concentrated. The southern edge of the Conservation Area is characterised by the parkland setting of the Court. Under the ownership of Sir Archibald & Lady Langman the estate introduced scientific methods of farming in the 1930’s. The Langman’s prosperity, as a result of this innovation, is evident in the provision of the new village hall opposite Glebe House on Woolston Road. Although most of the other farms have been converted to residential use, Manor Farm remains the manufacturing base for renowned Montgomery Cheddar and Ogleshield cheeses. The River Cam, which rises in Yarlington, runs along the western edge of North Cadbury and through Brookhampton.

  • Scoping Report and Project Plan
    North Cadbury and Yarlington Neighbourhood Plan Initial Scoping Report and Project Plan SCOPING REPORT – INITIAL FILE NOTE Prepared on behalf of North Cadbury and Yarlington Parish Council SEPTEMBER 2019 1. INTRODUCTION This report has been prepared by Jo Witherden BSc(Hons) DipTP DipUD MRTPI of Dorset Planning Consultant Ltd, for North Cadbury and Yarlington Parish Council. The Parish Council is the qualifying body authorised to act in preparing a neighbourhood development plan in relation to the North Cadbury and Yarlington Neighbourhood Plan area. The purpose of this report is to identify at an early stage what issues that relate to development are likely to be most important to the community, and are something that the Neighbourhood Plan can potentially influence. This will then guide the early stages of evidence gathering and consultation, and initial project plan, to ensure that the time and resources spent on preparing the Neighbourhood Plan are focused on achieving the desired outcomes. NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANS A Neighbourhood Plan, when made, becomes part of the development plan for the area, alongside the Local Plan. Together they set out the policies that are used to decide what types of building work or other development will generally be allowed, and what should be refused. They can also say what buildings or places should be protected, and why. Having a Neighbourhood Plan won’t change the area overnight. Its key influence is on decisions made by on planning applications. Landowners (or developers) will still need to make planning applications to the District Council, who will consult on these before making a decision to permit or refuse the proposed development.

  • Dear Secretary of State for Transport, A303 CONSULTATION
    From: To: A303 Sparkford to Ilchester Cc: [email protected] Subject: A303 Consultation Ilchester to Sparkford Date: 01 September 2020 20:25:34 Dear Secretary of State for Transport, A303 CONSULTATION – ILCHESTER/PODIMORE TO SPARKFORD We live in the village of West Camel immediately south of the section under consideration for upgrade. Having lived in the village for over 30 years we have been involved in previous consultations and do appreciate all the complexities. The initial advice given locally for this consultation was that as Option 2 appeared to be such an obvious choice that is was – “a no brainer” because: It is cheaper, quicker to build and safer as requires little in the way of entrance and exits…..so why would anyone looking at the options choose Option 1 ? Unfortunately the consultation process allowed for votes worldwide and it appeared a successful Facebook campaign from the smaller community north of the A303 called in votes from as far away as Australia to “Save our Vale”, not realising that almost as much ‘new land’ would be carved up to dual along the (broadly) existing route for Option 1 but causing abject misery and chaos for the whole build, particularly past the new primary school in Queen Camel, which Highways England didn’t initially know had been recently built. Option 1 appears to be the only section of the A303 not bypassing local communities. Ilminster, Wincanton, Sparkford and Mere to name just a few. Over time we have raised a number of concerns about process with those running the consultation –it appears that the planners can flex the area they consider as ‘local’ and in this case, they chose to flex the local boundary to as far away as 7 miles from the planned route.
