  • Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management in Wales, 2011 – 2014 First Report to the Minister Under Section 18 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 Foreword
    Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management in Wales, 2011 – 2014 First Report to the Minister under Section 18 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 Foreword Under section 18 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 Natural Resources Wales has a statutory duty to report to the Welsh Ministers about the management of flooding and coastal erosion in Wales. In particular, the report has a role to inform the Ministers on progress to implement the Welsh Government’s National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy for Wales (hereafter referred to as the ‘National Strategy’). This is the first of those reports and provides a summary of the key developments and achievements from November 2011, when the Welsh Government’s National Strategy was published, to March 2014. Future reports will be produced every two years. Supporting the Welsh Government in delivering the National Strategy are 31 organisations with a statutory role as a Risk Management Authority: Natural Resources Wales the 22 Lead Local Flood Authorities the three Internal Drainage Boards that are wholly or mainly in Wales the water and/or sewerage companies Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, Severn Trent, Dee Valley, Scottish & Southern and Albion Water This report has been produced from information provided by those Risk Management Authorities (RMAs) reflecting their work, often in close partnership, to manage the risks to people and properties from sources of flooding such as rivers, ordinary watercourses, the sea, surface water, reservoirs and sewers plus from erosion of the coastline. I am grateful to them and other partners for the data and support they have provided to inform this report.

  • DWYRYD ESTUARY and MORFA HARLECH Component Lcas (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component Lcas (Gwynedd): Porthmadog
    SEASCAPE CHARACTER AREA 21: DWYRYD ESTUARY AND MORFA HARLECH Component LCAs (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component LCAs (Gwynedd): Porthmadog Location and Context This SCA is located in the northern part of the west Snowdonia coast. It includes the Dwyryd estuary from its mouth near Porthmadog to its inland tidal limit at Tan-y-bwlch. It also includes Morfa Harlech on the southern shore of the estuary, and the towns of Harlech and Penrhyndeudraeth. To the north is SCA 20: Porthmadog and Glaslyn Estuary, to the west is SCA 19: Criccieth to Mochras, and to the south is SCA 22: Mochras to Fairbourne and Sarn Badrig. View across the Dwyryd Estuary from Ynys, showing intertidal habitats, the village of Portmeirion and the mountains of Snowdonia forming the backdrop. Image © Fiona Fyfe Summary Description Views of this SCA are dominated by the broad landform of the Dwyryd estuary, with its extensive salt marshes, sand, mud and dune system (Morfa Harlech). The estuary also contains distinctive ‘islands’ and ridges of higher ground on either side. Overlooking the estuary are the contrasting villages of Harlech (with its Medieval castle on the valley side), Portmeirion with its Italianate architecture, and the industrial village of Penrhyndeudraeth. Surrounding the estuary are the wooded hills of Snowdonia, which form a majestic backdrop to picturesque views from lower land. In the eastern part of SCA, the valley narrows as the river flows inland. Here, the Afon Dwyryd has been heavily modified flows between areas of improved grazing, with main roads on both sides of the valley floor.

  • Community Infrastructure 13
    Background Paper 13: Community Infrastructure 13 February Gwynedd & Môn Joint Local Development Plan 2015 [Type text] Topic Paper 13: Infrastructure Background This is one of a range of topic papers prepared to offer more detailed information and explain the approach of the Plan to different topics and issues affecting the Joint Local Development Plan Area. This paper will look specifically at community infrastructure. It will explain the background which will help to identify the issues, objectives and options for the Deposit Plan. The Deposit Plan is the second statutory stage in the preparation of the Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP). The JLDP shapes the future growth of communities in the Joint Local Development Plan Area and will set out the policies and land allocations against which planning applications will be assessed. The Deposit Plan will be submitted to the Welsh Government, which will appoint an independent inspector to assess the soundness of the Plan in the Examination in Public. If the inspector considers the Plan to be sound it will be recommended for adoption. When adopted the JLDP will supersede the Gwynedd Unitary Development Plan (2009) for the Gwynedd Local Planning Authority Area and the Gwynedd Structure Plan (1993) and Ynys Môn Local Plan (1996) for the Ynys Môn Local Planning Authority. This topic paper can be read in isolation or in conjunction with the other Topic Papers and Background Papers that have been prepared to give a full picture the Joint Local Development Plan Area. You may refer to the Topic Paper as a basis for making comments about the Deposit Plan.

  • TŶ MAWR (Formerly the Castle Inn)
    NORTH WEST WALES DENDROCHRONOLOGY PROJECT DATING OLD WELSH HOUSES - Caernarfonshire TŶ MAWR (formerly The Castle Inn) 2 and 4 Castle Street, Cricieth, Gwynedd (formerly Caernarfonshire) Parish: Cricieth Grid Reference: SH 5004 3785 © Crown copyright: Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales: Dating Old Welsh Houses: North West Wales Dendrochronology Project HOUSE DETAILS: Tŷ Mawr is a substantial house of Snowdonian type presenting several features of mid/later sixteenth-century date including voussoir-headed openings, and two tiers of cusped windbraces. The timber is unusually well dressed with the removal of all sapwood. The principal chamber has a hooded fireplace and open archbraced truss. Published account in RCAHMW’s Inventory, Caernarvonshire, Volume II: Central (1960), pp. 62-3, no. 873, with an additional survey commissioned by the NWWDP available in NMRW (NPRN 32) (Richard Suggett, RCAHMW). Cantref: Dunoding Commote: Eifionydd (Atlas of Caernarvonshire pp 69-71). Dendrochronology results: Felling date range: After 1527. Lower purlin 1516; Beam (0/1). Site Master 1431-1516 gwyg2 (t = 7.1 SKERHS2; 6.1 CEFNCAR1; 6.0 CROWLE2) (Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory [ODL]). The removal of the sapwood precludes the determination of an exact date: at least eleven rings are missing. SUMMARY: Tŷ Mawr may be of greatest significance as one of very few sites in Wales definitely associated with an early modern practitioner of medicine: it was also known as ‘Tu William feddig’, the house of William the Doctor. Little is known of this man, but it is likely that he practised in the late sixteenth-early seventeenth century. It is not known whether Tŷ Mawr was built for him, or occupied by him later.

  • Strandlines 1
    STRANDLINES 1 Action Plan Scope: This Action Plan covers strandline habitat created by the accumulation of organic matter around the high water mark. This habitat occurs on a range of other habitats including Coastal vegetated shingle, Coastal sand dunes and Coastal saltmarsh (all UK BAP priority habitats, with the latter two also having their own Natur Gwynedd action plans). It often consists of a line of seaweed, shells, sponges, hydroids, bryozoans and even tropical seeds, stranded at the high water mark at the top of the beach either as a result of recent storms or natural life-cycles. These accumulations of drift material and gravel supports annual strandline vegetation. As well as the organic material, strandlines often contain litter, including damaged fishing gear, plastic containers, sanitary refuse, wood, glass, and many other discarded items. Surprisingly, strandlines can support annual vegetation and invertebrate communities by providing stable, sheltered and moist conditions. Such accumulations of material provide the required habitat for a number of species of wildlife living on the shores of Gwynedd including large numbers of feeding seabirds and migratory waders. Strandlines occur on all but the most vertical of shores, each supporting its own characteristic wildlife. In Gwynedd, strandlines are widespread and are found at the back of bedrock and boulder shores, sandy beaches and saltmarshes. 1. CURRENT STATUS 1.1 Legislation and priority status International Habitats Directivea Birds Directiveb UK and Wales SSSI legislationc UK BAPd Gwynedd Snowdonia BAP LlƄn AONB 1.2 Status in Wales and beyond Strandlines occur around the UK coastline but are best developed on flat sandy beaches.
