City and County of Cardiff Dinas a Sir Caerdydd CITY AND COUNTY OF CARDIFF DINAS A SIR CAERDYDD COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL 15 November 2001 CABINET PROPOSAL AGENDA ITEM: Cardiff Local Biodiversity: Action Plan: “Wild About Cardiff” Background 1. Biodiversity Action Plans are the UK Government’s response to its obligations under the International Convention on Biodiversity, i.e. sustaining the variety of natural life. The essence of a Local Biodiversity Action Plan is that it should reflect the objectives and targets of the UK Biodiversity Action Plan whilst additionally taking into account the needs of local wildlife and the relationship of local people with this local wildlife resource. The Issues 2. Comments were sought on a consultative draft from interested organisations and groups, and via Capital Times / press articles from the wider public. The content of the Local Biodiversity Action Plan was generally welcomed. 3. Following further selective consultations a final version of the Plan has been prepared, which is appended to this report (Appendix 2). This contains amended “biodiversity indicators”, which link with the Council’s approved Sustainability Indicators and the proposed Community Strategy indicators / targets. It also contains an agreed priority list for the preparation of individual habitat and species action plans. Progress on the first tranche of these (Appendix 1) is being supported by the Countryside Council for Wales as part of the Cardiff Countryside Partnership Programme. 4. All action plans will be prepared in partnership with the Glamorgan Biodiversity Advisory Group and the Greater Gwent Biodiversity Action Group (on both of which the County Council is represented) utilising the Cardiff Biodiversity Action Forum to ensure full consultation with relevant Council Services and external agencies and organisations. 5. The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 placed a new statutory responsibility on the National Assembly for Wales in carrying out its functions “to have regard … to the purpose of conserving biological diversity in Page 1 of 4 accordance with the Convention”. The Assembly also has a duty to promote such steps by others and it is intended that these new duties will underpin the existing local biodiversity planning process. 6. The UK Biodiversity Group has recently reported on the first 5 years of the UK Biodiversity Action Plan and identified five continuing challenges, including the need to ensure that local biodiversity action plans are developed and put into practice. The attached Local Biodiversity Action Plan will set the context for ongoing biodiversity planning in Cardiff, including the preparation and implementation of further tranches of action plans and will favourably position the County Council to respond to these new policy initiatives. Action planning will also feed into a revision of the Supplementary Planning Guidance on Nature Conservation and into the Unitary Development Plan process. Page 2 of 4 ADVICE This report has been prepared in consultation with Corporate Managers and reflects their collective advice. It contains all the information necessary to allow Members to arrive at a reasonable view, taking into account the advice contained in this section. The Corporate Manager dealing with this report is Emyr Evans Legal Implications There are no specific legal implications arising from this report. Financial Implications Completion of habitat and species action plans in the current financial year is being supported by grant aid from the Countryside Council for Wales. Future financial commitments will be tailored to suit contribution available. Consequences Approval of the Local Biodiversity Action Plan will favourably position the County Council to respond to new national policy initiatives on Biodiversity. BYRON DAVIES Chief Executive 24 September 2001 Background Papers: Reports to Deputy Mayor (Environment) 2 August 2000 and 27 June 2001 CABINET PROPOSALS That Cabinet recommends Council to agree the final draft of the Cardiff Local Biodiversity Action Plan. The following appendices are attached: Appendix 1: Habitat and Species Action Plans Appendix 2: Final draft of Cardiff Local Biodiversity Action Plan: “Wild about Cardiff” Page 3 of 4 APPENDIX 1 The first tranche of ten Habitat and Species Action Plans for 2001/2002 are: Habitat Action Plans: · Ponds # · Purple moor-grass and rush pasture · Woodland # · Gardens # Species Action Plans: · Monkshood · Waxcap Fungi ** · Great Crested Newt * · Bats ** · Water Vole * · Silver-washed Fritillary [Key: * national priority species, ** includes several national priority species, # linked to Cardiff Biodiversity Indicators]. The scope of these action plans will be reviewed as new information is assessed.

It sounds like yet more scientific jargon, but biodiversity is simply short for “biological diversity” - in other words, the natural variety of life. Everyone needs biodiversity - it’s what gives the world beauty and variety, not just in the countryside but also in our parks, gardens or even within the supportive branches of a single, much-loved tree. But why should we be wild about Cardiff? Isn’t it just a built-up area with no wildlife? No! In fact, Cardiff has an incredible variety of wild plants, animals and habitats. There are hundreds of different plants, birds and insects, which make Cardiff their home. These include seventeen species of Orchids and at least twenty-five species of Butterflies! What’s more, Cardiff has around twenty main types of habitat, ten of which feature in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan as important Priority Habitats. This variety of wildlife is what makes Cardiff’s local biodiversity so special. “Wild About Cardiff”, your Local Biodiversity Action Plan, aims to keep it this way. What is a Biodiversity Action Plan? Biodiversity Action Plans are a way of pinpointing the most important

  • Visit to Coedarhdyglyn, St George-Super-Ely, CF5 6SF on Friday 12Th October at 2Pm
    YMDDIRIEDOLAETH GERDDI HANESYDDOL CYMRU WELSH HISTORIC GARDENS TRUST South and Mid Glamorgan Branch Visit to Coedarhdyglyn, St George-super-Ely, CF5 6SF on Friday 12th October at 2pm At the kind invitation of Rhodri Traherne our Branch will be visiting Coedarhydyglyn. a Grade II* garden is not open to the public, so this will be a rare opportunity to explore the gardens and wider parkland landscape. The house, which was commissioned by the Revd. John Montgomery Traherne in 1820, stands on the side of a deep valley in the centre of parkland and commands extensive views to the north. House and parkland together form a picturesque early C19th landscape. The topography of the site has largely determined the content of the grounds with woodland predominating. Terraced gardens immediately around the house are laid mainly to lawns. The Dell, a narrow spring fed valley to the south of the house, was developed as a woodland and water garden with strong Japanese influence by Llewellyn Edmund Traherne early in the C20th and is thought to have been the work of Alfred Parsons & Partners. The woodlands contain some notable plantings of rhododendrons and conifers, many of them planted by the present owner’s uncle Sir Cennydd Traherne and his wife Rowena who established the Cyprus garden and the Pinetum. The Pinetum is a special interest of our host who will accompany us on our tour. The entrance to Coedarhdyglyn is about ½ mile from Culverhouse Cross roundabout. Take to A48 to St Nicolas and, at the top of the hill, turn tight into a private driveway.

  • Local Development Plan 2011- 2026 Local Development Plan Written Statement June 2017 Foreword
    Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan 2011- 2026 Local Development Plan Written Statement June 2017 Foreword I am pleased to introduce the Local Development Plan which provides a framework for sustainable development within the Vale of Glamorgan up to 2026. It is an extremely important Policy document that will guide the growth of the Vale of Glamorgan over a fifteen year period and identifies the infrastructure needs of our communities in terms of employment, facilities and services needed to support that growth. In setting this framework for the future development of the Vale of Glamorgan, we have been mindful of the need to regenerate and support our communities and in doing so the Plan seeks to achieve a balance between economic growth, social cohesion and environmental impact. Wherever possible the Plan’s emphasis is on re-using previously developed land and minimising the need to develop on green fields. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Barry where the emphasis is very much on the continued regeneration of the Waterfront. In addition, we have ensured that sufficient emphasis is being placed on providing for an appropriate level of growth in other communities throughout the Vale thereby ensuring their long term sustainability and vitality. In reading the document you will see that the evidence base that has informed the Plan and its policies is wide ranging and robust. I am particularly pleased that in progressing this Plan we have been able to comprehensively identify and allocate land for the services and facilities that will be needed to support additional residential and employment growth during the Plan period.

  • Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy Vale of Glamorgan
    The Vale of Glamorgan Council/Cyngor Bro Morgannwg Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy February 2005 VALE OF GLAMORGAN COUNCIL CONTAMINATED LAND INSPECTION STRATEGY JANUARY 2005 First Prepared by Michael Jenkins - April 2001 Contaminated Land Officer Reviewed by George Cowie Pollution Control Officer Executive Summary This Contaminated Land Inspection Strategy has been prepared by the Vale of Glamorgan Council to fulfil the legal requirement of Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Pt IIA came into force on the 1st July 2001 and provided a new regulatory standard for the identification and remediation of historically contaminated land. This strategy document updates the previous strategy document, which was first published in April 2002, and details the methodology to be employed by the Vale of Glamorgan Council to implement it's duties under Part IIA of The Environmental Protection Act (EPA), 1990. The document reveals the inspection process and sets time scales for completion that will be used by the Vale of Glamorgan Council. The EPA defines contaminated land as any land where there appears to be a significant risk of significant harm to human health and or controlled waters due to substances in, on or under the land. In determining whether land is contaminated local authorities, including the Vale of Glamorgan, must use the principle of Pollutant Linkage. That is a link must be found between a source of potential contamination and a receptor, such as a watercourse or future or current users of a site. All three parts of the linkage, that is source, pathway and receptor, must be present before any land can be designated as contaminated.

Indeed, the Vale of Glamorgan has over 100 Scheduled Ancient Monuments, over 700 Listed Buildings and 38 Conservation Areas that are afforded statutory protection by legislation. However, this system of statutory recognition, by its nature, only takes account of items of exceptional significance. Often there are locally important buildings that although acknowledged not to be of ‘national’ or ‘exceptional’ importance, are considered key examples of vernacular architecture or buildings, which have an important local history. It is these buildings which are often the main contributors to local distinctiveness, but which have to date, remained un-surveyed and afforded little recognition or protection. The original County Treasures project was published by the then South Glamorgan County Council in the late 1970’s. It was conceived as a locally adopted inventory of ‘special features’ in the former County area. However, as a result of local government restructuring, the changes to local authority boundaries, as well as changes in responsibilities and funding mechanisms the survey was never completed, and as a consequence was not comprehensive in its coverage.
