    ACTON SCOTT St Margaret Diocese of Hereford SO45368943

    ACTON SCOTT St Margaret Diocese of Hereford SO45368943 There are no fewer than 6 ancient or veteran yews among the 13 that grow here. They form a cluster (numbers 5 to 10) at the west end of the churchyard. The majority of these older trees appeared to be male. Photos and girths are from 2012. Tree 5 is multi-stemmed from a short bole. It is only when viewed from the farmyard below that its size can be appreciated, with a root system that reaches the ground at the base of an 8' high wall. It was not possible to measure this tree. Tree 6 grows on the left side of the gate leading from the church- yard to the farmyard. Inclusion of the almost separated branch growing at the edge of the bole would create a girth of 26/28'. Excluding it gives a girth closer to 22'. The photo on the left shows the tree’s vast root system seen from the farmyard below. Tree 7 (left) grows on the right side of the gate. It is a solid tree, with a girth of approximately 17'. Tree 8 is the only yew that does not mark the churchyard perimeter. It is an ancient hollow tree with fine internal stems. Girth was 20' 4'' at 1', but it has been larger. It is the only tree singled out in The King’s England c1938 where Mee wrote that ‘among the fine yews in the churchyard is a grand veteran 21' round out-topping the massive 13th century tower’. It is seen here in 1998 (left) and 2012 (right).

  • Rural Settlement List 2014

    Rural Settlement List 2014

    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.

  • Habitat Advisory Visit to the Byne Brook, Shropshire

    Habitat Advisory Visit to the Byne Brook, Shropshire

    HABITAT ADVISORY VISIT TO THE BYNE BROOK, SHROPSHIRE. UNDERTAKEN BY VAUGHAN LEWIS, WINDRUSH AEC LTD ON BEHALF OF MIDLAND FLYFISHERS APRIL 2007 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Vaughan Lewis, Windrush AEC Ltd to the Byne Brook, a small tributary stream of the River Onny, near Craven Arms, Shropshire. The visit was undertaken on behalf of the Wild Trout Trust. Information contained within the report was obtained from observations on the day of the site visits and from discussions with Richard Garland. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. The Byne Brook had generally good instream habitat. Gradient was steep, with an abundance of pools, deep/shallow glides and riffles suitable for all lifestages of brown trout Salmo trutta. The river had a meandering course, through moderately wooded banks. There was abundant Large Woody Debris (LWD) in the channel, which in conjunction with undercut banks, extensive tree root systems and deep pools, provided excellent cover for trout and other fish species. Substrate was a mix of cobbles, gravel and sand eroded from the very friable banks. Towards the upper end of the fishery, a number of alder Alnus glutinosa trees had been coppiced on the RB. This had reduced shading of the channel significantly. The coppice stools had been protected from cattle grazing by the erection of electric fencing, allowing for new tree growth to take place. There was fencing along some sections of the fishery, effectively preventing stock grazing and poaching the riverbank.
