  • Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership
    Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership ‘Call for Evidence’ Response to Gloucestershire’s Local Industrial Strategy Page 1 of 54 Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership Local Nature Partnerships (LNPs) were formed as part of the government’s 2011 white paper “The Natural Choice: Securing the value of nature”1. As part of a framework to strengthen local action to achieve the recovery of nature, LNPs were tasked to raise awareness about the vital services and benefits that a healthy natural environment brings for people, communities and the local economy. LNPs were to contribute to the green economy and complement Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), of which there is an expectation from government for LNPs and LEPs to form strong links that capture the value of nature. Here in Gloucestershire, the LNP is formed of over 30 organisations from public, private and third sector bodies from across the county, all working together as an informal partnership to recognise the importance of embedding nature's value in local decisions for the benefit of the nature, people and the economy. The GLNP Mission is to champion the essential role of Gloucestershire’s natural environment in sustaining a vibrant, healthy, prosperous economy and society. With a Vision of a healthy and valued natural environment, sustaining the economy and wellbeing of Gloucestershire. Our partnership provides a strong and innovative voice for the environment sector and is seen as a key partner in helping deliver the Gloucestershire County Council’s Strategy 2019-20222. We benefit from a solid working relationship with GFirst LEP, as well as all the District Councils.

  • STROUD and ELECTRICITY by Roger Hennessey
    Supplement to the Histelec News No. S67b December 2017 With the successful Weekend in the Cotswold organised by David Peacock, member Roger Hennessey sent his interesting electricity research of the area, for the benefit of members who joined the weekend away. It has been decided to give it further coverage. STROUD AND ELECTRICITY by Roger Hennessey The relationship between the Stroud area and electricity is a long one, summarised perhaps in the short phrase, 'From rear-guard to vanguard'. Although early developments seemed promising, Stroud took a long time to receive public supplies of electric power, even by the UK's notorious standards in the field. For example, the first English scientist to verify Benjamin Franklin's theory that lightning and electricity were the same was the Stroud-born John Canton, FRS (1718-72). In Victorian times one of the earliest enthusiasts for public electricity was a local textile magnate, Alfred Apperly, who installed electricity in his mansion (Rodborough Court) in the late 1880s. The story of electric power for the people of Stroud was, however, very different. Some of the district's many textile mills generated their own power, but repeated attempts to set up an undertaking for public supply ran into difficulties. As early as 1888 'A Ratepayer' was reported in the press suggesting the establishment of electricity undertaking for the town; soon afterwards the House-to-House Electric Supply Co supported the idea and applied for a Provisional Order [PO], but the initiative fizzled out. Another proposal in 1900 was opposed by the local Urban District Council which claimed that it was considering a PO itself.

  • Decision Document
    Environment Agency permitting decisions Bespoke permit We have decided to grant the permit for Clearwell Farm operated by Mr Jonathan Hay. The permit number is EPR/WP3034VF This was applied for and determined as a new bespoke application. The application was duly made on 08/08/2014. We consider in reaching that decision we have taken into account all relevant considerations and legal requirements and that the permit will ensure that the appropriate level of environmental protection is provided. Purpose of this document This decision document: • explains how the application has been determined • provides a record of the decision-making process • shows how all relevant factors have been taken into account • justifies the specific conditions in the permit other than those in our generic permit template. Unless the decision document specifies otherwise we have accepted the applicant’s proposals. Structure of this document • Key issues: Ammonia Emissions; Industrial Emissions Directive (IED); Groundwater/Soil Monitoring; Odour management • Annex 1 the decision checklist • Annex 2 the consultation and web publicising responses EPR/WP3034VF/A001 Issued 06/11/14 Page 1 of 13 Key issues of the decision Ammonia Emissions There are four European designated sites located within ten kilometres, sixteen Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) located within five kilometres, seven Local Wildlife Sites (LWS) and ten Ancient Woodlands (AW) located within two kilometres of the installation. Ammonia Assessment – SAC / SPA / Ramsar sites The following trigger thresholds have been applied for assessment of European sites including Ramsar sites: • if the process contribution (PC) is below 4% of the relevant critical level (CLe) or critical load (CLo) then the farm can be permitted with no further assessment; • where this threshold is exceeded an assessment alone and in combination is required; • an overlapping in combination assessment will be completed where existing farms are identified within 10 km of the habitat site.

  • Forest of Dean Plan Hwc , Item 9
    1. Overview of the Forest of Dean The modelled demand for future developments of housing with care in the Forest of Dean has highlighted an additional requirement as detailed in Table 1. Table 1: Modelled demand for housing with care Housing with care model Extra care Extra care affordable rent by 2041 Supported living by 2035 shared ownership/outright sales by 2041 Additional units required 182 0 20 Future developments of housing with care in the Forest of Dean need to consider the specific challenges and opportunities that delivering housing with care in the Forest of Dean presents: The Forest of Dean has a population of roughly 85,9571 spread over an area of 226 square miles.2 The district takes its name from the Forest of Dean itself, which forms a large part of the district and is the largest landscape feature. As well as the forest, the main geographical influences are the Severn Estuary and the Wye Valley, all of which are natural boundaries but also barriers to development. The district is adjacent to Wales and the West Midlands. Although some parts are closest to Gloucester, other parts are closer to Bristol, Newport and Hereford. The Forest of Dean is made up of 27 wards.3 Appendix 1 provides a breakdown of ONS population data; current levels of domiciliary care funded by Gloucestershire County Council (GCC); residential/nursing care; extra care and supported living at ward level. The Forest of Dean Core Strategy (FoDCS) indicates that the majority of growth within the district is likely to be planned in and around Bristol, Newport and Cardiff.4 The regeneration of the four major towns; Cinderford, Coleford, Lydney and Newent, is central to the FoDCS.

    FOREST OF DEAN LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY In this edition: ● Clearwell Magic! - See our review of Di Standing’s remarkable talk ● “We’re Not Telling” - Join a walk with our Victorian ancestors ● Iron Production in the Dean ● 70th Anniversary Dinner at the Speech House Editors Notes Occasionally you attend an event that is so good it resonates and stays with you for a long time. Di Standing’s remarkable talk. “A History of Underground Dean’, was one of those rare events. Set in the highly appropriate location of Clearwell Caves, Di entertained her audience with a wonderful talk and film. Cheryl Mayo’s cover photograph captures the atmosphere whilst members socialised over tea, cider and bread and cheese! As always John Powell has provided a warm, concise and expressive review of the event which you can find towards the back of this issue. What John has refrained from telling you is that those who helped set up the event down in the Caves ‘enjoyed’ the end of a bizarre Harry Potter convention, complete with a party of 70 from Germany who were appropriately dressed as Harry, or dragons, or monsters! Editor: Keith Walker Further thanks are due to John Powell for sourcing the interesting article 51 Lancaster Drive in the centre pages which features a walk taken locally in Victorian times. Lydney GL15 5SJ Many of you will have attended the 70th anniversary dinner held 01594 843310 recently at the Speech House. I was there along with my camera to NewsletterEditor capture the event. On reviewing my work the next day, I found to my @forestofdeanhistory.org.uk horror that not a single shot had been saved to memory.
