  • Exmoor Heaths SAC Conservation
    European Site Conservation Objectives: Supplementary Advice on Conserving and Restoring Site Features Exmoor Heaths Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Site Code: UK0030040 Exmoor © Natural England/ Peter Wakeley Date of Publication: 31 March 2016 Page 1 of 46 About this document This document provides Natural England’s supplementary advice about the European Site Conservation Objectives relating to Exmoor Heaths SAC. This advice should therefore be read together with the SAC Conservation Objectives available here. This SAC adjoins the Exmoor and Quantocks Oakwoods SAC for significant parts of its boundary on Exmoor and includes similar qualifying features. You should also refer to the separate European Site Conservation Objectives (and Supplementary Advice where available) provided for this site here. You should use the Conservation Objectives, this Supplementary Advice and any case-specific advice given by Natural England, when developing, proposing or assessing an activity, plan or project that may affect this site. Any proposals or operations which may affect the site or its qualifying features should be designed so they do not adversely affect any of the attributes listed in the objectives and supplementary advice. This supplementary advice to the Conservation Objectives describes in more detail the range of ecological attributes on which the qualifying features will depend and which are most likely to contribute to a site’s overall integrity. It sets out minimum targets for each qualifying feature to achieve in order to meet the site’s objectives. The tables provided below bring together the findings of the best available scientific evidence relating to the site’s qualifying features, which may be updated or supplemented in further publications from Natural England and other sources.

  • The Doone Valley, Exmoor
    The Doone Valley, Exmoor. The Map OS Explorer OL9 - Exmoor. 1:25000. Time: 5 – 6 hours Grade: Moderate, but a long walk with short spells of steep uphill. Start near Dry Bridge on the B3223 Simonsbath to Lynmouth road, parking in one of a couple of small parking areas GR 759452. Take the track NE for about 1 Km then look for a clear path, at a junction of paths, off right signed “Doone Valley “ Follow the clear track ( little bit vague near the top ) and drop down gently to cross the small stream via a ford. Stay on the track to curve round and down to come into the Doone Valley beside the famous Badgworthy Water (Read the book!) and the ruins of a medieval village, The remains are signified by raised grass and stone humps but little else ! Follow the track ( signed “Malmsmead )“round to the left rather than dropping down to the river . Move north, following the river through incredible scenery and the ever-likely fleeting appearance of deer. Note the lichen covered trees, rivulets and high moor across the river. Look out for the Richard Blackmore commemorative plaque. Eventually, on reaching the approach to Cloud Farm stay on the West side of the river , unless you want to check Cloud Farm for a cream tea but it doesn’t always seem to be open for custom !, and wander down to Malmsmead. Here, the Welcome Inn , Lorna Doone Farm and small shop . Well, worth a moment here to soak up the really beautiful surroundings. The ford, the foxgloves when out, the river – just magic.

  • 90U0eum for Tbe Geat
    — iRcport of tfte Cutator of Caunton €a0tle 90u0eum for tbe geat 1902. OINCE the last Report, a considerable amount of general ^ progress has been effected, especially with regard to the “ Walter Collection.” Endeavours have been made to aug- ment, as far as possible, the educational value of the specimens that have been dealt with. An increasing interest in the Museum is manifest, and it is gratifying to be able to record that the attendance of visitors, “including members, — during the year has greatly exceeded anything previously recorded, the total reaching 7,444 ; an in- crease over 1901 of 47 per cent. The following is a Table of the number of visitors to Taunton Castle Museum during the last ten years : Year. No. of Visitors. Year. No. of Visitors. 1893 5,539 1898 5,082 1894 5,317 1899 4,978 1895 4,964 1900 4,740 1896 4,610 1901 5,047 1897 5,236 1902 7,444 The greater part of the year has been occupied by work in connection with the large donation made in December, 1901, by Mr. W. W. Walter. Owing to the fact that arrangements were made for temporary assistance, etc., most of this work was accomplished before the Opening Ceremony, on May 21st. Every specimen—and there are some hundreds—was firstly cleaned, ])reservatives being applied and repairs effected where necessary. A large proportion of the objects have been tick- eted in white oil-paint; others were written on in indelible ink : Curator's Report. 63 neatly printed labels have been glued on to all fragments of pottery ; and other specimens were found better adapted for ‘ tie-on ’ labels.

  • A New Geological Model to Explain the Gravity Gradient Across Exmoor, North Devon
    A new geological model to explain the gravity gradient across Exmoor, north Devon M. BROOKS, M. BAYERLY & D. J. LLEWELLYN SUMMARY Recent long seismic lines in South Wales and plained by a simple geological model in which the Bristol Channel indicate a structural cul- a thick sequence ofrelatlvely low density Lower mination under the southern part of the Bristol Palaeozoic or late Precambrian rocks occupies Channel, where a layer with a seismic velocity the core of this culmination. The model casts of 6-I km/s approaches to about 2 km of the further doubt on the existence of a major thrust surface. It is shown that the gravity field across under Exmoor. Exmoor and the Bristol Channel can be ex- I. Introduction SEVERAL LONG SEISMIC LINES in the Bristol Channel area, full details of which will be presented in later papers, give evidence of a basal layer of high velocity, in the range from 6. I-6. 3 km/s, which is interpreted as being of Lower Palaeozoic or Precambrian age. This layer, which almost certainly does not represent the same geological formation under all lines, lies at shallow depth under the western part of the South Wales Coalfield, deepens southwards into the northern part of the Bristol Channel and rises rapidly towards the north Devon coast. Figure I illustrates reduced time-distance curves for two of the long seismic lines D and F, whose locations are shown in Fig. 2. On each line, a series of offshore shots was fired into a fixed array of land recording stations.

  • Exmoor-Perambulation
    PERAMBULATION OF THE ROYAL FOREST OF EXMOOR 2011 Route Instructions The boundary of the Royal Forest at the time of its sale in 1818 will be followed. The boundary will be followed mostly on its outside; as a result of fencing, it cannot be followed closely in all locations, but can usually be kept in view. About half of the route follows public rights of way, but it is possible to walk much of the route only with permission of the landowners concerned. It is important, therefore, to keep strictly to the route, which has been agreed with the landowners. The following detailed instructions and maps should assist with navigation over those sections of the route, which do not follow public rights of way. Walkers should not expect the boundary of the Royal Forest to be clearly defined. In practice, the boundary exists in several forms, e.g. as a wall proper, as an earth bank (with or without visible stones), as a bank topped by a hedge, as a post-and-wire fence, as a sunken track, or as a row of vertical boundary stones, some of which may have been uprooted and left horizontal. In some places, the form of the boundary has been completely obliterated. New fences and gates are legitimately erected by landowners and, whilst these route notes are up to date at the time of preparation, they may be slightly less so on the day of the walk. In most cases, a requirement to change direction is accompanied by an approximate heading. Walkers should use map and compass in conJunction with these notes.

  • Responsibility of Your Parish Council the Parish Council Has
    Responsibility of your Parish Council The parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the council’s operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The parish council evaluates local planning applications and works with the local police, district council officers, and neighbourhood watch groups on matters of crime, security, and traffic. The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning. Conservation matters (including trees and listed buildings) and environmental issues are also the responsibility of the council. The village falls within the Non-metropolitan district of West Somerset, which was formed on April 1, 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, having previously been part of Williton Rural District.[2] The district council are responsible for local planning and building control, local roads, council housing, environmental health, markets and fairs, refuse collection and recycling, cemeteries and crematoria, leisure services, parks, and tourism. Somerset County Council are responsible for running the largest and most expensive local services such as education, social services, libraries, main roads, public transport, policing and fire services, trading standards, waste disposal and strategic planning. It is part of the Bridgwater and West Somerset constituency in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election, and part of the South West England constituency of the European Parliament which elects seven MEPs using the d'Hondt method of party-list proportional representatives.

  • Impact Assessment Form and Action Table (Amended for Budget Cuts)
    Impact Assessment Form and Action Table (Amended for budget cuts) (Expand the boxes as appropriate) ENV 11.04 Somerset Waste Partnership: Reduce the number of the Household Waste Recycling What are you completing this impact Centres in Somerset – Closure of Coleford, assessment for? (Service, budget cut) Crewkerne, Dulverton and Middlezoy. Consider the closure of 4 more sites. For which phase of cuts are you completing your impact assessment? (Please tick below as appropriate) Phase 1 Phase 2 Capital 9 Section 1 - Aims & Objectives of the Budget Cut To reduce site infrastructure from 18 recycling centres to 14 to reduce costs. We need to understand the impact of the first 4 sites that are going to be closed before we consider an additional 4 more sites on a case by case basis. These are the estimated savings. These are assumptions and cannot be modelled as we don’t have any experience of site closures: Coleford £56159.00 Crewkerne £121528.00 Dulverton £75885.00 Middlezoy £60133.00 Section 2A - Groups that may be affected by the budget cut. (May be general population of Somerset or those from particular groups, disability, gender, race etc as per Action Table) The ‘Age’ group will be affected by this cut. More so in the Dulverton area where the over 65 year olds demographics group is high (sourced from the SINE Community Profile Area Summary Quilt). There is a potential impact on people with disabilities in that they will have to travel further to their closest recycling centre. There is no impact on gender and race groups.
