  • BBOWT Water Vole Recovery Project
    Berks, Bucks and Oxon Water Vole Recovery Project 2016 Report Water vole carrying food for young, Chris Hughes, River Windrush Julia Lofthouse, Mammal Project Officer Gavin Bennett, Mammal Project Assistant Contents 1 Introduction 2 Water Vole Surveys Survey Methodology Survey Participants Survey Results 3 Mink Control Background Information Mink Control Results 2015- 2016 Analysis of Mink Control Schemes 4 Alert Maps and Local Key Areas 2017 5 Water Vole Recovery Project Updates 2016 Bayswater Brook Ewelme Stream and River Thames Great Ouse and Padbury Brook Holy Brook and Sulham Brook Hurst Ditches Kennet & Avon Canal Lower River Kennet, Foudry Brook and River Thames at Sonning Lower River Windrush Mill Brook Oxford Canal River Alderbourne River Glyme and River Dorn River Ock, Sandford Brook and River Stert Upper Thames 1 Introduction The water vole Arvicola amphibius is Britain’s fastest declining mammal which has been lost from approximately 89% of its former range since 1900. In the 1950s-60s changes in river engineering practices and agricultural intensification caused the water vole population to decline. These changes resulted in habitat loss and degradation which caused fragmentation and isolation of water vole populations. Since the 1980s an introduced predator, the American mink Neovison vison has decimated water vole populations as its range has expanded throughout England, Scotland and Wales. Mink are able to counter the water voles’ anti-predatory behaviours since they swim well, hunt efficiently and female mink are small enough to enter water voles’ burrows. The Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trust launched its Water Vole Recovery Project in 1998. The aim of the project was to arrest the decline of water voles within the three counties and to work to stabilise and increase the water vole population.

  • HS2 Draft Environmental Statement Buckinghamshire Councils
    HS2 Draft ES: response of the Buckinghamshire Councils HS2 DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT Buckinghamshire Councils response part 3 CFA 10 Dunsmore, Wendover and Halton The area is within the Chilterns AONB – a nationally recognised and protected landscape. We feel, however, that the draft ES does not fully recognise this and suggests poor and inadequate mitigation. There are serious concerns about the impact of the maintenance loop on this community area; a concern compounded by the fact that no noise assessment has been carried out. There is also serious concern about the disruption that will be caused by HGV traffic in the area, particularly with regards to the use of some of the narrower, more rural roads. The impact of construction and operation on the setting of grade II* listed buildings within Wendover are not adequately assessed – particularly in the case of St Mary’s church, an active place of worship within 200m of the green tunnel portal. Comments on Part B: Description of the proposed scheme 2.2.2 We are concerned about impact of the maintenance loop on the wider landscape. There is very little information on the visual appearance and operation of the maintenance loop given. 2.2.5 Further, the HS2 route and maintenance loop will be on an embankment in this area increasing its visibility. We are concerned about the impact of this in particular since the draft ES suggests that Risborough Road over bridge would rise to 15m. Appropriate assessment of the visual impact and mitigation is crucial but currently not included in the draft ES.

  • 170221 05Dc Appendix A
    Appendix A Hertfordshire County Council’s oversubscription criteria for secondary and upper community coeducational schools for 2018/19 Section 324 of the Education Act 1996 requires the governing bodies of all maintained schools to admit a child with a statement of special educational needs that names their school. Schools must also admit children with an EHC (Education, Health and Care) Plan that names the school. If there are fewer applications than places available at a school all applicants will be admitted. If there are more applications than places available, the criteria outlined below will be used to prioritise applications. Oversubscription criteria Rule 1: Children looked after and children who were previously looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order)*. Rule 2: Medical or Social Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school*. A panel of officers will determine whether the evidence provided is sufficiently compelling to meet the requirements for this rule. The evidence must relate specifically to the school applied for under Rule 2 and must clearly demonstrate why it is the only school that can meet the child’s needs. Rule 3: Sibling Children who have a sibling at the school at the time of application, unless the sibling is in the last year of the normal age-range of the school*. Note: the ‘normal age range’ is the designated range for which the school provides, for example Years 7 to 11 in an 11-16 secondary school, Years 7 to 13 in an 11-18 school .
