  • 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.

  • North Cadbury Neighbourhood Plan Heritage Assessment on Behalf of North Cadbury and Yarlington Parish Council August 2020
    North Cadbury Neighbourhood Plan Heritage Assessment on behalf of North Cadbury and Yarlington Parish Council August 2020 kim sankey │ architect angel architecture │ design │ interiors Angel Architecture Ltd Registered in England at Unit 4, Herringston Barn, Herringston, Dorchester, Dorset DT2 9PU _____________________________________________________________________ North Cadbury Neighbourhood Plan Heritage Assessment August 2020 NORTH CADBURY Key Features The special interest of North Cadbury lies in its origins as a rural estate village (formerly Cadbury Estate) of mixed farmland demarked by ancient enclosed hedgerows with some C17 and C18 modification. On the edges are C19 historic orchards, bounded by mature hedgerows, and several farmsteads. The orchards are a particularly strong landscape feature in terms of social history and culture as they represented an intensively productive use of land, providing cider for the labouring classes while also allowing the grazing of sheep and poultry. There are many listed buildings but most prominent are the Church and Cadbury Court at the historic core around which development is concentrated. The southern edge of the Conservation Area is characterised by the parkland setting of the Court. Under the ownership of Sir Archibald & Lady Langman the estate introduced scientific methods of farming in the 1930’s. The Langman’s prosperity, as a result of this innovation, is evident in the provision of the new village hall opposite Glebe House on Woolston Road. Although most of the other farms have been converted to residential use, Manor Farm remains the manufacturing base for renowned Montgomery Cheddar and Ogleshield cheeses. The River Cam, which rises in Yarlington, runs along the western edge of North Cadbury and through Brookhampton.

The forthcoming South Somerset Local Development Framework (LDF) will be required to allocate new development sites for both housing and employment for the period 2006-2026, with the focus of major growth placed upon Yeovil, thereafter the district’s major towns and rural centres. As part of the process of finding suitable sites for development, a landscape study to assess the capacity of the settlement fringe to accommodate new development in a landscape-sympathetic manner, is commissioned. This will complement other evidence-based work that will contribute to the LDF process. 1.2 PPS 7 commends the approach to the identification of countryside character developed by the Countryside Agency (now Natural England) and suggests that it can assist in accommodating necessary change due to development without sacrifice of local character and distinctiveness.

  • 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.
