  • A Beginner's Guide to Boating on Inland Waterways
    Ti r A Beginner’s Guide To Boating On Inland Waterways Take to the water with British Waterways and the National Rivers Authority With well over 4,000 km (2,500 miles) of rivers and canals to explore, from the south west of England up to Scotland, our inland waterways offer plenty of variety for both the casual boater and the dedicated enthusiast. If you have ever experienced the pleasures of 'messing about on boats', you will know what a wealth of scenery and heritage inland waterways open up to us, and the unique perspective they provide. Boating is fun and easy. This pack is designed to help you get afloat if you are thinking about buying a boat. Amongst other useful information, it includes details of: Navigation Authorities British Waterways (BW) and the National Rivers Authority (NRA), which is to become part of the new Environment Agency for England and Wales on 1 April 1996, manage most of our navigable rivers and canals. We are responsible for maintaining the waterways and locks, providing services for boaters and we licence and manage boats. There are more than 20 smaller navigation authorities across the country. We have included information on some of these smaller organisations.

Introduction 1.1 In November 2019, the Council published and carried out consultation on the Stroud District Council Local Plan Review: Draft Plan for Consultation. The Draft Plan sets out the preferred development strategy for meeting the District’s growth needs for the period to 2040 based on a minimum housing requirement of 638 homes per annum calculated under the Government Standard Method. A separate report analysing responses to the Draft Plan consultation is available to view on the Council’s website at www.stroud.gov.uk/Stroud District Local Plan review. 1.2 In August 2020, the Government published a consultation document proposing changes to the method for calculating the minimum housing requirement for each local authority area in the country. This revised standard method proposed increasing the requirement for Stroud District from 638 homes per annum to 786 homes per annum and a need to plan for a potential additional 1,050 – 2,400 homes between now and 2040.

The following year the company took over the ships operated by Ford and Jackson on the route between Wales and Ireland. Services were operated between Weymouth, the Channel Islands and France on the former Weymouth and Channel Islands Steam Packet Company routes. Smaller GWR vessels were also used as tenders at Plymouth and on ferry routes on the River Severn and River Dart. The railway also operated tugs and other craft at their docks in Wales and South West England.

He was responsible for designing three large ships, the SS Great Western (1837), SS Great Britain (1843; now preserved at Bristol), and SS Great Eastern (1858).

Hydrological models can provide estimates of streamflow pre- and post- observations, which enable greater understanding of past hydrological behaviour, and potential futures. In this paper, a new multi-objective calibration method was derived and tested for 303 catchments in the UK, and the calibrations were used to reconstruct river flows back to 1891, 15 in order to provide a much longer view of past hydrological variability, given the brevity of most UK river flow records which began post-1960. A Latin Hypercube sample of 500,000 parameterisations for the GR4J model for each catchment were evaluated against six evaluation metrics covering all aspects of the flow regime from high, median and low flows.

  • Iwa Submission on the Environment Bill – Appendix A
    IWA SUBMISSION ON THE ENVIRONMENT BILL – APPENDIX A IWA VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE PROPULSION ON THE INLAND WATERWAYS EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW 1. Recognising the UK Government’s strategy to reduce emissions from diesel and petrol engines, IWA formed its Sustainable Propulsion Group in 2019 to identify and monitor developments which will enable boats on the inland waterways to fully contribute to the Government’s stated aim of zero CO2 emissions by 2050. 2. The Group has identified a number potential solutions that it recommends should be progressed in order to ensure that boats used on the inland waterways do not get left behind in technological developments. These are outlined in more detail in this paper. 3. To ensure that the inland waterways continue to be sustainable for future generations, and continue to deliver benefits to society and the economy, IWA has concluded that national, devolved and local government should progress the following initiatives: Investment in infrastructure through the installation of 300 shore power mains connection charging sites across the connected inland waterways network. This would improve air quality by reducing the emissions from stoves for heating and engines run for charging batteries, as well as enabling a move towards more boats with electric propulsion. Working with navigation authorities, investment in a national dredging programme across the inland waterways to make propulsion more efficient. This will also have additional environmental benefits on water quality and increasing capacity for flood waters. Research and investment into the production, use and distribution of biofuels. This will be necessary to reduce the environmental impact of existing diesel engines which, given their longevity, will still be around until well after 2050.

  • Preston Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018-2031
    Evidence Paper Design in Preston A Parish Design Statement prepared by the Residents of the Parish of Preston Nr. Cirencester PRESTON NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2019-2031 REGULATION 14 CONSULTATION DRAFTPage | 0 Prepared by Preston Parish Council and Andrea Pellegram MRTPI Design in Preston Introduction 1. Successful Parish/Village Design demands a harmony between traditional and new buildings. This enhances both the appearance of the environment and community life. Future design should, therefore, consider patterns and details which give Preston its special character. 2. This statement is intended to encourage good design by analyzing the characteristic style of Preston and suggesting ways in which it might be applied to all future landscape and building activity in the Parish. 3. This Statement provides guidance to all interested parties; including Cotswold District Council, the Parish Council when considering any planning applications (e.g. developers of new housing in the Parish) and homeowners contemplating work to their property. 4. Appendix 2 of this document discusses the planning policy context relevant to design in Preston. How the Statement was prepared 5. Further to a decision by the Parish Council a Steering Group was set up to prepare the Design Statement.
