June 2012 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the Bristol Avon Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Bristol Avon catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Bristol Avon CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England The Bristol Avon catchment has a history of flood risk, and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed and over the last 60 years numerous engineering inland flood risk across all of England and Wales for the schemes have been implemented to reduce flood risk first time. The CFMP considers all types of inland in the catchment. At present 7,000 properties are at risk flooding, from rivers, ground water, surface water and in the catchment in a 1% event.

  • Whitchurch Village Neighbourhood Development Plan
    WHITCHURCH VILLAGE NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2015 – 2042 WHITCHURCH VILLAGE COUNCIL MADE VERSION 1 We care about our village… “Whitchurch Village is an historical village located in a predominately farmed, Green Belt parish adjacent to the City of Bristol. Bath and North East Somerset Council approved a plan for the area that predicts an over 50% growth in our village up to 2029. This Neighbourhood Plan identifies ways in which new residents can be welcomed into our community while reconciling longer term plans to ensure we can keep our village as a village, shape any future growth within an awareness of the constraints i.e. traffic pollution due to the A37, Green Belt, lack of sustainable local employment, and how it can protect the quality of life that our residents readily share but value so highly. Fortunately, The Neighbourhood Plan team have had consistent and valued input from our community and consequentially endeavour to reflect your wishes and needs, whilst preparing for new residents to join us. We have worked constructively with the proposed developers to mitigate the impact of new developments and have tried to identify potential benefits to the community as a result of such development. This is your Plan so we welcome your further engagement to ensure your views influence decisions that are likely to affect you and your families’ future within Whitchurch Village.” Alyson Lampard. Whitchurch Village Council & Paul May, Ward Councillor, BANES (January 2017) Joint Chairs of the Whitchurch Village Neighbourhood Development Plan 2 Thank-you to… Parish Volunteers Volunteers from the community - Whitchurch Village has an active community and this document has been produced by a group of 12 local people and the views of the wider parish reporting and accountable to the Village Council.

  • Brislington Brook St Anne's Wood Nightingale Valley
    Brislington The place-name Brislington is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means “Beorhthelm’s Farmstead”, with Beorhthelm being an Old English personal name (Mills 1998,56) Brook A natural freshwater stream that is smaller than a river St Anne’s Wood The steep sided semi-ancient woodland probably named after the pilgrimage site Nightingale Valley “Miss Alma Coombs remembers the warm evenings in her childhood when sitting with her friends on the wall at the top of Nightingale Valley, they listened to the song of the Nightingale and the notes of the Nightjar.” p. 51-52 of St Anne’s Bristol a History by Evelyn Winchester (1986, White Tree Books) 1 Introduction .................................................................................................................. Brislington Brook runs through Nightingale Valley in Brislington and offers the perfect location for outdoor study. It is one of Bristol’s best kept secrets and it’s incredibly accessible for junior schools in St Anne’s, St Anne’s Park, Broomhill and Brislington village. The Brook is a hidden gem. It is set in a well-established broadleaved woodland with mature and semi-mature trees and shrubs filling much of the steep and wide valley. As well as its great environmental value as a wildlife corridor, the Brook has a fascinating history, the remains of which are evident everywhere; ranging from St Anne’s Holy Well, a 13th century pilgrimage site, to the remnants of a Victorian pleasure garden. In 2011, the Brislington Community Partnership received three-year funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Bristol City Council for an exciting new community project, Discover Brislington Brook.
