Believed to date to the 1960’s and very much a home of its time, the property was originally designed to provide accommodation for two families and would certainly still lend itself very well to such multiple occupation. Indeed the flexibility of the property’s layout is a significant part of its attraction and this may well be considered the perfect house for those wishing to cohabit with a dependent relative or perhaps for those with grown-up, more independent sons or daughters returning from university. For 3.35 acres of garden and paddock complete such families, the magnificent first floor with stabling and to the east of the home, billiard room approaching some 30 feet in nestling into the hillside is a secluded length will certainly be a major attraction and outdoor pool with extensive paved terracing it may well be that this room would be providing delightful sun deck and sitting adapted by any future occupier to be used as areas. a home cinema, gym or general recreation Whilst a home that offers scope for room.

  • North Somerset & Mendip Bats SAC Citation
    EC Directive 92/43 on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora Citation for Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Name: North Somerset and Mendip Bats Unitary Authority/County: Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, Somerset SAC status: Designated on 1 April 2005 Grid reference: ST480544 SAC EU code: UK0030052 Area (ha): 561.19 Component SSSI: Banwell Caves SSSI, Banwell Ochre Caves SSSI, Brockley Hall Stables SSSI, Compton Martin Ochre Mine SSSI, King’s Wood and Urchin Wood SSSI, The Cheddar Complex SSSI, Wookey Hole SSSI Site description: The Cheddar complex and Wookey Hole areas support a wide range of habitats which provide feeding grounds for bats. These include semi-natural dry grasslands of which the principal community present is sheep’s-fescue – meadow oat-grass (Festuca ovina – Helictotrichon pratense) grassland which occurs on rock ledges and on steep slopes with shallow limestone soil, especially in the dry valleys and gorges and on the south-facing scarp of the Mendips. King’s Wood and Urchin Wood have developed over limestone which outcrops in parts of the site and forms a steep scarp to the south-east. There is mostly oak Quercus robur and ash Fraxinus excelsior woodland, though some areas are dominated by small-leaved lime Tilia cordata with both maiden and coppice trees. Other canopy trees include yew Taxus baccata, cherry Prunus avium and wild service tree Sorbus torminalis. There is a rich ground flora including many ferns and mosses. The limestone caves and mines of the Mendips and the north Somerset hills provide a range of important breeding and hibernation sites for lesser horseshoe bat Rhinolophus hipposideros and greater horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum.

  • At Bristol Water's Banwell Treatment Plant
    PROJECT CASE STUDY BOLL PROTECTS SUBMERGED MEMBRANE at Bristol Water’s Banwell Treatment Plant Bristol Water has upgraded its Banwell Water Treatment Plant in Somerset with the installation of a Siemens Memcor submerged ultrafiltration plant protected by an automatic Bollfilter system. The Banwell Plant, which has a 30 megalitre per day capacity and serves some 120,000 people in Weston Super Mare and the surrounding area, treats water from three local sources: Winscombe bore hole; Banwell Spring and Blagdon Reservoir. The Memcor Continuous Ultrafiltration (CS) System, which provides a barrier against cryptosporidium, other bacteria and suspended solids, consists of six racks of submerged membrane filtration cells, each containing 240 individual membrane modules. Raw water is drawn through the membrane cell walls and up through fine tubes in each cell to provide filtration to 0.1 micron, with automatic backflushing to maintain filtration performance. In order to protect the fine membranes in the Memcor CS plant, a Bollfilter automatic filtration system has been installed just a few metres below the holding tank on the feed water line. Three 6.18 SUC filters operate duty/duty/standby to provide continual filtration down to 500 micron, each with an backflush assist pump to ensure effective cleaning under the low pressure conditions. Banwell Treatment Plant is designed for un-manned operation. Boll automatic filters are particularly suitable for such installations thanks to their reliable, self-cleaning operation and minimal maintenance requirements. TOP.

  • Eutrophication: Research and Application to Water Supply
    EUTROPHICATION: RESEARCH AND APPLICATION TO WATER SUPPLY Edited by DAVID W. SUTCLIFFE AND J. GWYNFRYN JONES Published by the Freshwater Biological Association Invited papers from a specialised conference held in London on 10-11 December 1991 by the Freshwater Biological Association, The Ferry House, Far Sawrey, Ambleside, Cumbria LA22 OLP and International Water Supply Association, 1 Queen Anne's Gate, London SW1H 9BT © Freshwater Biological Association 1992 ISBN 0-900386-52-5 Active reservoir management: a model solution J. HILTON, A. E. IRISH AND C. S. REYNOLDS Institute of Freshwater Ecology, Windermere Laboratory, Far Sawrey, Ambleside, Cumbria LA22 OLP, England Predictions from a functional model of algal growth capacity (maximum achievable algal biomass) and algal species succession for Chew Valley Lake (UK) were compared with observed data for 1989. Initial simulations grossly underestimated algal growth from the late spring onwards. However, inclusion of a pulsed input of phosphorus from the sediment, at a level consistent with field observations, resulted in very good predictions. The model was then applied to a number of hypothetical operational scenarios as examples of the use of such a model as a tool for reservoir management. An example is also given of an extension of the model to predict chemical properties of abstracted and treated water. Introduction Several presentations in this conference have outlined the difficulties of using both steady-state and statistically-fitted models when predicting the effects of remedial actions on algal growth. Steady-state procedures, of their very nature, cannot deal with dynamic situations. Statistical models require extensive calibration, and predictions often have to be made for environmental conditions which are often outside the original calibration conditions.

  • Changes to Bus Service 672
    CHANGES TO BUS SERVICE 672 Starting 6 January 2019 , the timetable of bus service 672 will be revised to improve punctuality by reflecting current traffic conditions. The road works near Temple Meads are having a significant impact on punctuality and they will not be completed for several months. Also, Clarence Road will be closed for up to 16 weeks for major road works in Spring 2019. Buses towards Bristol on service 672 will be re-routed to operate via Redcliff Hill and Redcliffe Way instead of Clarence Road and Temple Gate. The nearest bus stop for Temple Meads will be in Victoria Street at Temple Street. Buses from Bristol will continue to operate via Temple Gate and York Road. The new timetable for Mondays to Fridays is below and Saturdays is overleaf.
