  • Planning Advice for Integrated Water Management’ Note Shows Planners What Is Possible in Practice
    Prepared as part of the Cambridge Natural Capital Leaders Platform Sink or Swim Water Collaboratory Summary Many planners do not think about water issues in a joined-up way, and until now there has been no single source of information on how the water sector works. There is a growing awareness of the important role of planning in joining up land use and water management. But there is a need to get the message across to planners that water is important and getting involved in partnerships to manage water will bring many benefits. The ‘Planning Advice for Integrated Water Management’ note shows planners what is possible in practice. This ‘Supplementary Case Studies’ document highlights the case studies, drawn from across the water sector, that support each section ranging from managing surface water and flood risk and enhancing biodiversity to providing housing, business development and infrastructure needs. It aims to empower planners to engage with water issues and encourage innovation in meeting development needs in a more sustainable way. Acknowledgements The Advice Note was written by Peter Bide with assistance from Dr Gemma Cranston of the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). We would particularly like to thank the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), the Environment Agency, the Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA), the Chartered Institute of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) and the Construction Industry Research and Information Association (CIRIA) for their support. We are indebted to Professor Richard Ashley, Jan Brooke, Julia Chatterton, Richard Cole, Andrew Coleman, Rob Collins, Geoff Darch, Hugh Ellis, Stephen Langlois, Mark Matthews, Professor Tim O’Riordan, Jenny Phelps, Paul Shaffer and Jean Venables, and many others who provided helpful comments and guidance on the Advice Note.

  • Mollusc World Magazine
    IssueMolluscWorld 24 November 2010 Glorious sea slugs Our voice in mollusc conservation Comparing Ensis minor and Ensis siliqua THE CONCHOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND From the Hon. President Peter has very kindly invited me to use his editorial slot to write a piece encouraging more members to play an active part in the Society. A few stalwarts already give very generously of their time and energy, and we are enormously grateful to them; but it would be good to spread the load and get more done. Some of you, I know, don’t have enough time - at least at the moment - and others can’t for other reasons; but if you do have time and energy, please don’t be put off by any reluctance to get involved, or any feeling that you don’t know enough. There are many ways in which you can take part – coming to meetings, and especially field meetings; sending in records; helping with the records databases and the website; writing for our publications; joining Council; and taking on one of the officers’ jobs. None of us know enough when we start; but there’s a lot of experience and knowledge in the Society, and fellow members are enormously helpful in sharing what they know. Apart from learning a lot, you will also make new friends, and have a lot of fun. The Society plays an important part in contributing to our knowledge of molluscs and to mollusc conservation, especially through the database on the National Biodiversity Network Gateway (www.nbn.org.uk); and is important also in building positive links between professional and amateur conchologists.

  • Better Local Government ISLEWORTH and BRENTFORD AREA
    Agenda Item No. Reference No. Better Local Government ISLEWORTH AND BRENTFORD AREA COMMITTEE (PLANNING) - 5TH JUNE 2003 DECLARATION OF LOCAL NATURE RESERVE: ISLEWORTH AIT – CONSULTATION Report by: ASSISTANT CHIEF EXECUTIVE CORPORATE POLICY AND REGENERATION Summary The Council has the power to declare statutory Local Nature Reserves and has already exercised this for nine wildlife sites in the Borough. This report proposes to consult the relevant organisations on the designation of a further important wildlife site, Isleworth Ait, situated along the River Thames. The designation of this area would demonstrate the Council’s continued support and promotion of the Boroughs biodiversity, confirm the importance of this wildlife site and will help in efforts to secure management funds from other sources. This report requests this Committee’s views on the proposal to go ahead with the consultation process of declaring this site a statutory Local Nature Reserve. 1.0 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT MEMBERS: 1.1 NOTE THE CONTENTS OF THE REPORT 1.2 APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATION TO CONSULT 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Under Section 21 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, local authorities have the power to select, declare and manage nature reserves in consultation with English Nature (EN), the statutory advisor to the Government on nature conservation in England. 2.2 Nine statutory Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) have already been declared in the Borough (see Appendix 1), representing some of the most important nature conservation locations in the area. 2.3 The value in declaring wildlife sites as LNRs lies in the public recognition that these sites are afforded by the Council declaration and the opportunities to attract further funding for site management, through, for example grant aid from EN.
