A2 Introduction Baseline data has been presented in two formats: in summary text form and a more detailed baseline data table. All data will be updated before the plan appraisal takes place. Sources are shown in the list at the end of the section and refer to the baseline documents used for the LDF SA. 93 Sustainable Appraisal Scoping Report July 2006 A2.1 Air Quality Summary There are no AQMAs within Kennet District; nor are there any automatic air monitoring sites within the District, the nearest sites being at Bath, Bristol, Somerton and Bournemouth. In order to assist local authorities in the review and assessment of their local air quality, Defra has produced data which provides estimates of background annual mean air pollutant concentrations at a 1 km x 1 km grid resolution. These estimates are available for the year 2001 for NOx, NO2, PM10, PM10 secondary, SO2, Benzene, CO and 1,3-butadiene. Projected concentrations are also available for: NOx (2005, 2010), NO2 (2005, 2010), PM10 (2004, 2010), Benzene (2003, 2010), and 1,3-butadiene (2003). The predicted trends for Kennet as well and the other three districts in Wiltshire show reductions for all the pollutants. The pertinent data are: Indicator Current Data Comparators and targets Trend Issues for sustainability / Issues for the LDF Topic: Air Quality There are no AQMAs in Kennet Wiltshire: 7 AQMAs declared (Reason) West Wiltshire DC – Air Quality • Westbury.

In the South-West, 8 of the 10 warmest years since 1855 have occurred since 1990. Global climate change, which is predominantly the result of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) caused by human activity, is a long-term but serious concern. The transport system is now the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK, and has shown a steady increase since 1990, unlike the industrial and domestic sectors which now have emissions lower than the 1990 base year (Sustainable Development Indicators, 2005). Total CO2 emissions according to source in Wiltshire local authorities 2003 (http://www.swenvo.org.uk) 98 Sustainable Appraisal Scoping Report July 2006 Kennet’s carbon dioxide emissions are relatively low compared to the other Districts within Wiltshire.

This issue contains the first village flora to be included. Barbara Last has systematically recorded the plants growing in Berwick St James, and her article gives an account of her findings. Hopefully, it will inspire others to do similar work in their own localities. Our second article is the first systematic account we have published on the vegetation of Salisbury Plain. In this case, Kevin Walker and Richard Pywell describe the grassland communities of the MoD Training Area. Kevin and Richard can be contacted at the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, Monks Wood, Abbots Ripton, Huntingdon, Cambs., PE17 2LS. Tel. 01487 773381.Fax. 01487 773467. Email; [email protected] Innovation is complemented by continuity. Rob Randall’s article continues his account of the history of recording the many different species of bramble in Wiltshire. His account brings us more or less up to the present day. It is hoped that the next issue will contain what is effectively an up-to-date bramble flora of Wiltshire. As in previous issues, a selection of the Society’s plant records is included.

Go through the gate by the two information boards, with the car park behind you. Go straight ahead to the top of the escarpment in the area which contains two benches, with the White Horse clearly visible to your right. There are fine views here over the vale below. Go down steps and through the gate to the right and after approx. 10m, before you have reached the White Horse, turn right over a low bank between two tall ramparts. Climb up onto either of them and walk along it, parallel to the car park. This is the Iron Age hill fort of Bratton Camp/Castle. Turn left off it at the end and go over the stile or through the gate to your right, both of which give access to the tarmac road. Turn right onto this.

Legend has it that it was cut as a memorial to one of King Alfred’s victories over the Danes at the battle of Etahndun in 878 AD. The car park above the Westbury White Horse can be reached either via a street named Newtown in Westbury, which also carries a brown sign pointing the way to Bratton Camp and the White Horse (turn left at the crossroads at the top of the hill), or via Castle Road in Bratton, both off the B3098.
