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. -
So O T H Wgrs-T FISHERY SURVEY of the RIVER YEO CATCHMENT
So o TH W G r S - T FISHERY SURVEY OF THE RIVER YEO CATCHMENT 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This survey of the catchment was undertaken between April 1993 and September 1993. The rivers surveyed were the Yeo, Wriggle, Sutton Bingham Streamsv Cam and Gallica. 1.2 The primary aim was to collect fisheries data on the Yeo catchment as part of a 'rolling1 survey programme for all catchments in the North Wessex Area of the National Rivers Authority. 1.3 It is the first time the catchment has been surveyed in its entirety, the last survey in the catchment being on the upper Yeo betveen Mudford and Sherborne in 1986. 2. TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY 2.1 The River Yeo, a major tributary of the River Parrett, has its source at Seven Sisters Veil, near Charlton Horethome. From here it falls 100m to its confluence vith the Parrett at Langport. Belov Ilchester much of the Yeo is artificially embanked, vith levels rising to 3m above adjacent fields. The catchment totals 398km2. 2.2 The River Cam rises near Jack Whites Gibbet, and has a catchment of 45 sq Km. The ground levels in the area vary betveen 17m and 183m OND at Yeovilton and Bratton Hill respectively. 2.3 The Wriggle rises at Batcombe Hill and flovs approximately north to the confluence vith the River Yeo at Bradford Abbas. It has a catchment of 54.2 km2. 2.4 The Gallica rises near Melbury Sampford and flovs in a northerly direction to its confluence vith the Sutton Bingham Stream approximately 5km away. -

The forthcoming South Somerset Local Development Framework (LDF) will be required to allocate new development sites for both housing and employment for the period 2006-2026, with the focus of major growth placed upon Yeovil, thereafter the district’s major towns and rural centres. As part of the process of finding suitable sites for development, a landscape study to assess the capacity of the settlement fringe to accommodate new development in a landscape-sympathetic manner, is commissioned. This will complement other evidence-based work that will contribute to the LDF process. 1.2 PPS 7 commends the approach to the identification of countryside character developed by the Countryside Agency (now Natural England) and suggests that it can assist in accommodating necessary change due to development without sacrifice of local character and distinctiveness. -

Firstly it is a Parish environ- mental record and secondly it is a manual to guide sound and sensitive plan- ning within the Parish. 1 A Parish Environmental Record The Manual outlines the main areas of biodiversity within the Parish using Phase 1 Habitat descriptors 1 of cultivated land, wetland, woodland grassland and borders. These are mapped and individual habitats are described. Data are recorded in a geographical information database which will eventually be available online2. This is inevitably an ongoing activity. The more significant habitats only are included in this version, particularly those close to the built area. Future work will not only identify habitats in more detail but it is the intention also to include those, such a historic hedges, that have suffered, and are suffereing, erosion. 1.

5 A sheep’s eye view Land division, livestock and people in later prehistoric Somerset, UK Clare Randall Fields and field systems in later prehistoric British archaeology have generally been discussed in relation to territory or land tenure. They are also frequently assumed to relate purely to arable agriculture. Alongside this, we also tend not to situate livestock animals within landscapes. Increasingly, morphological features of fields can be identified as having use in animal handling. Consequently field system morphology, and changes to layouts over time, enable their re-examination in relation to pastoral and arable husbandry (and the interplay between them), and consideration as to why differing approaches may have been adopted within the same landscape at different times. This provides models which, focussing on pastoral husbandry, are potentially applicable to a range of places and periods. The second and first millennium BC bounded landscapes surrounding the hillfort at Cadbury, Castle, Somerset, UK, reveal an intimate relationship between the occupiers of the hillfort, sites in its environs, livestock, and the landscape. A series of different forms of land division and organisation from the earlier Bronze Age onwards can be compared with both faunal and plant macro-fossil data from within that landscape. Different forms of layout appear to reflect different types of strategy and approach in later prehistoric farming. During the second and first millennium BC changes can be observed between different forms of highly extensive pastoral farming and closely integrated and intensive systems. The explanation would seem to be more social than practical in origin, but discerning this is reliant on large scale field survey, and integration of multiple strands of information. -
South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review
South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review The Potential for Rural Settlements to be Designated ‘Villages’ November 2018 Contents Page 1 Introduction 1 2 Context 1 3 Methodology 3 4 Settlement Appraisal 13 5 Conclusions 23 Appendix 1 - Complete list of Rural Settlements in the District subject to this Appraisal 24 Appendix 2 - Settlement Maps; Constraints and Community Service Locations 25 Appendix 3 – Location Map of Settlements 58 1. Introduction 1.1 This paper considers the suitability of the District’s many Rural Settlements for growth. The current Local Plan does not allocate housing and employment to specific villages, seeking to direct most development to Yeovil, the Market Towns and Rural Centres. However, new housing has been delivered in the Rural Settlements far in excess of what the Local Plan anticipated; and similarly, new commercial buildings have, in the main, been provided away from the established employment locations and sites allocated for that purpose. Rather than continue with this somewhat arbitrary situation, the Review of the Local Plan offers the opportunity to look again at the various smaller settlements around the District to ascertain which might offer the best and most sustainable locations for limited growth and possible designation as ‘Villages’. 1.2 The Review of the Local Plan has also resulted in the potential removal of the role of ‘Rural Centre’ from Stoke sub Hamdon. This is because the settlement has many constraints and the number of commercial outlets in the centre is relatively restricted. It could instead be designated a ‘Village’ in recognition of its size and numbers of other facilities relative to the remaining Rural Settlements. -
