This NDP has been identified as requiring AA due to the neighbourhood area being within the hydrological catchment of the River Frome. A previous Habitat Regulation Assessment has been undertaken on the Stretton Grandison Group Neighbourhood Plan dated August 2020, however recent advice and responses from Natural England is indicating that a Stage 2 Appropriate Assessment is required. This report addresses the Appropriate Assessment stage; outlines the task undertaken, the findings and recommendations to support the Stretton Grandison Group Neighbourhood Plan through to adoption. The Initial Screening report September 2015 found that the Neighbourhood Area is within the hydrological catchment of the River Frome SAC. The parish is 8 km away from the River Wye SAC but is within the River Frome catchment which is part of the hydrological catchment of the River Wye SAC.

This letter formally starts our consultation with you and the local community. There are currently 132 public payphones in your area which have been identified and proposed for removal by BT under the 90-day consultation process and details of these payphones are shown below. To ensure that the local community are fully informed, we have placed consultation notices on the relevant payphones, and a sample notice is enclosed. We have also included the date we posted these notices on the payphones. The consultation period will close on 28th December 2016. Unless you contact us to agree otherwise, responses received after this date will not be accepted. This consultation process gives your local communities the opportunity to adopt a traditional red ‘heritage’ phone box and make them an asset that local people can enjoy. It’s really simple to do and it costs just £1 - http://business.bt.com/phone-services/payphone-services/adopt-a-kiosk/ Overall use of payphones has declined by over 90 per cent in the last decade and the need to provide payphones for use in emergency situations is diminishing all the time, with at least 98 per cent of the UK having either 3G or 4G coverage.
