  • 6 Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment
    HUNTSPILL ENERGY PARK: ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment 6 LANDSCAPE AND VISUAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 6.1 INTRODUCTION (with reference to Appendix 6.1: Figures 6.1 and 6.2) 6.1.1 The Richards Partnership have been appointed to carry out a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) of the development proposals for a hybrid planning application for an Energy Park, with all matters reserved apart from access. A full description of the development is provided in Chapter 5 of this ES. 6.1.2 Figure 6.1 shows the extent of the area subject to this application. The site (within the security fence) was the subject of a separate planning application in the autumn of 2011 for permission to remediate the site of hazardous materials and stabilise it in advance of any subsequent redevelopment, this application received planning permission in March 2012 and has since been implemented. 6.1.3 Given the long term objective for the site is for it to be developed as an Energy Park, it was agreed with both Sedgemoor District Council and Somerset County Council that for the purposes of the Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment chapter of the (EIA), the baseline situation will be as described in the Landscape and Visual Appraisal submitted in support of the earlier, 2011, remediation application. This has been agreed with both Sedgemoor District Council and Somerset County Council. This landscape and visual appraisal will be attached as an appendix to the EIA supporting the Main Application. 6.1.4 The landscape and visual impacts referred to later in the report are assessed separately in accordance with good practice1.

  • Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2
    Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2 WWW.SOMERSET.GOV.UK WELCOME TO THE 2ND SOMERSET RIGHTS OF WAY IMPROVEMENT PLAN Public Rights of Way are more than a valuable recreational resource - they are also an important asset in terms of the rural economy, tourism, sustainable transport, social inclusion and health and well being. The public rights of way network is key to enabling residents and visitors alike to access services and enjoy the beauty of Somerset’s diverse natural and built environment. Over the next few years, the focus is going to be chiefly on performing our statutory duties. However, where resources allow we will strive to implement the key priority areas of this 2nd Improvement Plan and make Somerset a place and a destination for enjoyable walking, riding and cycling.

  • Canal Walk Summary
    Circular Walks from the Car Park From the car park here at Creech St Michael, four short circular walks begin by using the canal towpath, selected local local footpaths and quiet country lanes. The walks go through local villages, hamlets, alongside the River Tone and across varying countryside, from the quiet areas of the Somerset Levels and Moors, to the built up areas of Hankridge and Bathpool. A History of the Canal The Bridgwater and Taunton Canal was part of an ambitious 19th century scheme to create a route between Exeter and Bristol, which would avoid the treacherous sea route around Lands End. Sadly the great link never materialized though the Bridgwater and Taunton canal opened in 1827, joining the new docks at Bridgwater in 1841 & making its total length 15 miles. The canal was used mainly for the transportation of coal, timber and limestone that was brought into Bridgwater dock and then transferred to barges and small tub-boats. The commercial success of the canal ended when the Bristol and Exeter railway opened - commercial traffic ceased in 1907. Restoration The West Country branch of the Inland Waterways Association lobbied for many years for the canal to be restored. This led to Somerset County Council, Sedgemoor District Council and Taunton Deane Borough Council working jointly with British Waterways to bring about the restoration of the canal for amenity purposes between the years 1980 and 1995. The replacement of 14 low bridges was the main part of the restoration programme (the original swing bridges were removed in wartime to create a line of defence).
