    Draft Northern Area Plan 2016 RSPB Northern Ireland Response

    Draft Northern Area Plan 2016 RSPB Northern Ireland response √ support for issue or policy X objection, omission (text emboldened) C concern 1. INTRODUCTION & CONTEXT 1.1. Plan Aim and Guiding Principles. The RSPB in Northern Ireland welcomes the Plan Aim and Guiding Principles. In √ particular we strongly support the objectives: • to promote sustainable development in accordance with the RDS • to identify land for housing…with preference for sites within the urban areas • to promote the integration of public transport etc, and • to protect and enhance the character, quality and biodiversity of natural and man- made environments. All policies should therefore reflect the equal contributions of environmental, social and economic concerns and we hope this will be mirrored in policy implementation. Importantly, the balance between the three cornerstones of sustainable development should not be seen as a trade-off, but rather the opportunity to ensure policies which are mutually beneficial to the environment, society and the economy. 1.2. Strategic Environmental Appraisal (SEA) The RSPB welcomes the publication of a Strategic Environmental Appraisal for the Northern Area Plan 2016. We believe that the Environmental Report produced for the Northern Area Plan is a substantial improvement on the BMAP Environmental Report. √ However, the RSPB believes that Planning Service has still not tackled all biodiversity X considerations adequately in the SEA for the Northern Area Plan. Further details are provided in the separate SEA response document, attached. 2. STRATEGY & FRAMEWORK 2.1. Housing HOU2-3 The RSPB strongly supports the plan, monitor and manage strategy for housing, √ including policy HOU2. We are also pleased to see that policy HOU3 includes the requirement that natural features on site should be incorporated into the scheme.

Holocene paleo-geographic reconstructions of the Ramore Head area, Northern Ireland, using geophysical and geotechnical data: paleo-landscape mapping and archaeological implications. Kieran Westley*, Ruth Plets, Rory Quinn Centre for Maritime Archaeology, University of Ulster Coleraine, BT52 1SA, UK *[email protected] ABSTRACT We present early to mid-Holocene paleo-geographic reconstructions for the Ramore Head area (Northern Ireland). This coastal area is characterised by Mesolithic occupation (c. 10–6 ka) and preserved early–mid Holocene peats both on- and offshore. This paper improves on previous reconstructions by employing a backstripping methodology which removes accumulated recent deposits from identified buried paleo- landsurfaces instead of using modern topography as an analogue to the past landscape. Paleo-landsurfaces are identified offshore from seismic profiles supplemented by cores, and onshore through legacy borehole records. The paleo-landsurface can be traced offshore to depths of -2 to -19 m and is buried by <5 m of modern sediment. It extends onshore under the coastal town of Portrush and is buried <2.5–10 m below modern ground level. The identified paleo-landsurface is combined with sea-level curves from recent Glacio-Isostatic-Adjustment models to reconstruct marine transgression during the early–mid-Holocene.
