  • Walshaw Moor Withdrawal and Modification of Consent
    South Pennine Moors Site of Special Scientific Interest, West Yorkshire, Lancashire,Greater Manchester, North Yorkshire. (“the SSSI”), South Pennine Moors Special Area of Conservation ("SAC"), South Pennine Moors Special Area of Conservation ("SPA") NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OR MODIFICATION OF CONSENT Section 28E(6) Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended and inserted by section 75 and Schedule 9 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000) To: Mr R Bannister Walshaw Moor Estate Ltd Vivary Way Colne Lancashire BB8 9NW Whereas: A. The SSSI was duly notified on 26th September 1994. South Pennine Moors SSSI is a nationally important site as it is the largest area of unenclosed moorland within West Yorkshire and contains the most diverse and extensive examples of upland plant communities in the county. Extensive areas of blanket bog occur on the upland plateaux and are punctuated by species rich acidic flushes and mires. There are also wet and dry heaths and acid grasslands. Three habitat types which occur on the site are rare enough within Europe to be listed on Annex 1 of the EC habitats and Species Directive (92/43) EEC. These communities are typical of and represent the full range of upland vegetation classes found in the South Pennines. This mosaic of habitats supports a moorland breeding bird assemblage which, because of the range of species and number of breeding birds it contains, is of regional and national importance. The large numbers of breeding merlin Falco columbarius, golden plover Pluvialis apricaria and twite Carduelis flavirostris are of international importance. B. The SSSI comprises 164 units of land.

Charity No. 1106550 www.colnevalleymuseum.org.uk Accredited Museum No. 1203 [email protected] Annual Reports to AGM April 2018 Chairman’s Report April 2018 Another year of increased activity, following the generous grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Who would have believed that we would ever finish the project, but with the help of many, the end is in sight. Fortunately, the grant was sufficient to cover unexpected extras. This has allowed us to fit new windows and have the roof fixed - that took us by surprise as the first building survey missed these problems. We now have a museum to be proud of and it should be better than ever for use in the future. We are so fortunate to have an amazing group of volunteers who have worked tirelessly to fulfil the many tasks involved in this major project. I would like to thank all of you for your support over the last few years. I would like to thank Janet Jobber in particular, as she has taken the overall responsibility for seeing the project through and has shown remarkable fortitude and persistence. There are many others that have done a superb job in sorting out what we needed, getting grants, moving stock, keeping our finances in order, and deciding where everything will go. We should now be confident that the museum is good for another 40+ years at least. We still need your support and that of any new volunteers who you can encourage to join the museum.

  • VISITOR MANAGEMENT PLAN 1.4 Produce
    SCHEDULE OF ACTIONS MATTER 1 (LEGAL AND PROCEDURAL MATTERS) (Action 1.4) VISITOR MANAGEMENT PLAN 1.4 Produce a short note about the Visitor Management Plan, setting out how it will be produced and when. 1 Introduction 1.1 This note has been prepared to provide further information to the Inspectors regarding the Visitor Management Plan for the South Pennine Moors Phase 2 Special Protection Area (SPA) and South Pennine Moors Special Area of Conservation (SAC) referred to in Policy ENV4 (Biodiversity, Geodiversity and Ecological Networks) of the submitted Local Plan. 2 The Visitor Management Plan and the Rossendale Local Plan 2.1 Rossendale’s Local Plan refers to the Visitor Management Plan as the Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) is unable to rule out in-combination effects on the SPA/SAC as a result of visitor pressure to the designated area arising from the number of new homes being allocated albeit the Local Plan for Rossendale will not have a significant effect alone. 2.2 Given Rossendale’s commitment to participating in the wider South Pennines Management Plan, the HRA concludes, “It is considered unlikely that the Rossendale Local Plan will lead to adverse effects on site integrity at either the South Pennine Moors SAC or South Pennine Moors Phase 2 SPA in- combination with other plans.” 2.3 The extract from the Local Plan relating to the Visitor Management Plan, taken from the Submission Version of the Local Plan, is set out below. Please note that there have been changes proposed which will be consulted on during the Main Modifications consultation.
