Believing that members, who have recently joined the Union> will find some little interest in knowing where field meetings have been held in the past, and that old members will not be displeased to be reminded of what districts have been visited, this resume has been drawn up. The information contained in it will also be of some use in making future arrangements for visiting the varied surface of our wide county. On June 12th, 1893, the first Field meeting was held at MABLETHORPE — a great day for lovers of nature. Many county naturalists, and also neighbours from adjacent counties, lent their aid in making the opening day a success. The out- come was the formation of the Lincolnshire Naturalists' Union, as now constituted. The second meeting was held on August 7th, at WOOD- H.\LL SPA, and a goodly number of species were recorded. May 24th, 1894, found the members at LINCOLN. The bank of the Fossdyke and Hartsholme \^^ood were investigated, and a general meeting was held in the evening.

    National Character 42. Lincolnshire Coast and Marshes Area profile: Supporting documents www.gov.uk/natural-england 1 National Character 42. Lincolnshire Coast and Marshes Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Summary The Lincolnshire Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) established a policy of ‘hold the existing defence line’ for the Lincshore coastline. As part of the Lincshore Coastal Defences Strategy (covering Donna Nook to Skegness) we are proposing to implement the SMP. To deliver the strategy, beach nourishment material will continue to be placed annually along the coastline between Mablethorpe and Ingoldmells. A performance review of the beach nourishment project has been undertaken, in preference to a full strategy review, which supports the Lincshore project, enabling a 0.5% annual probability of flooding (1 in 200 year return period) standard of protection along the frontage over a period of 100 years.

  • 66 Part Three
    PART THREE - EAST LINDSEY STRATEGIC FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT 6.0 FLOODING FROM OTHER SOURCES 6.1 In addition to the threat of flooding from tidal and fluvial events, other causes of flooding have been identified in the District. These are principally:- Surface water flooding – occurs as a result of heavy rainfall and overland flows/run-off, overwhelming the drainage capacity of the local area. Sewer flooding - happens when sewers are overwhelmed by heavy rainfall or when they become blocked and can result in land and property being flooded with water contaminated with raw sewage. Rivers can also become polluted by sewer overflows. Groundwater flooding - this occurs when water levels in the ground rise above surface levels and is influenced by the local geology. It is most likely to occur in areas underlain by permeable rocks, called aquifers. Reservoir flooding – where large volumes of water are stored above ground level. In the unlikely event of failure it would result in a large volume of water being released very quickly. 6.2 The risk of floods from other sources highlighted by recent events most notably in the summer of 2007 and 2012 where as a result of a combination of unusually high rainfall over a short time period and the inability of the systems in place to discharge the quantities of water involved, resulting in river, surface water and sewer flooding. 6.3 The 2007 events led to the introduction of the Floods and Water Management Act (2010) and the establishment of the Lincolnshire Flood Risk and Drainage Management Partnership. As the Lead Local Flood Authority the County Council will produce and implement a Local Flood Risk Management Strategy using the network of local Flood Risk and Drainage Management Groups.

  • Roads and Access to AONB
    Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Management Plan Strategic Environmental Assessment Figure 2.12 - Roads and Access to AONB There is strong anecdotal evidence that traffic in the countryside can be both a deterrent and a hazard to recreational users, especially for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Those who are inexperienced or less confident can easily be discouraged from using the highway network. The provision of designated Quiet Roads in consultation with highway authorities could overcome this problem and help to maintain the rural charm and character of the area. The increase in roads signs on the edge of the highway has been a recent issue, and partnership activity will continue to assess and seek to rationalise any unnecessary signage. The Traditional Road signs in Lincolnshire project has been instrumental since 2004 in replacing and restoring almost 70 traditional road signs across the AONB. Many are more than 60 years old, and typically comprise concrete post, usually painted black and white, supporting wooden directional arms © Mouchel 2011 113 Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Management Plan Strategic Environmental Assessment with raised cast iron lettering. The project has been very well received locally and has been promoted nationally as an example of good practice. 2.19 Access to Services Accessibility is central to the safeguarding of sustainable communities, in particular people’s ability to reach services by available, affordable and accessible public and community transport. In rural areas of Lincolnshire, access to facilities and services is limited and has been compounded by the gradual loss or centralisation of services.

  • Site Improvement Plan Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes & Gibraltar Point
    Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes & Gibraltar Point Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS). Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the site(s) and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIPs are based on Natural England's current evidence and knowledge. The SIPs are not legal documents, they are live documents that will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as actions get underway.
