The assessment has been undertaken to comply with the SEA Regulations. It considers the likely effects of the plan on the environment, and its evaluation includes an assessment of reasonable alternatives. It also considers appropriate mitigation and monitoring measures. It is subject to consultation with the Environment Agency, Natural England and Historic England, the public and any other interested parties. The Neighbourhood Plan area © Crown Copyright and database right 2019. All rights reserved (100058783) P a g e | i As a first step, various plans and programmes were reviewed and information collected on the environmental characteristics of the Neighbourhood Plan Area. The review included an appraisal of the National Planning Policy Framework, the adopted South Somerset Local Plan, and key documents that informed the Local Plan’s own sustainability appraisal. The views of the Environment Agency, Natural England and Historic England were also sought on the proposed scope of the SEA (with a response received from Natural England). As a result of this work the following conclusions were reached: Cultural heritage – there is potential for development to harm the significance of heritage assets, including the setting of Listed Buildings, the Conservation Area and assets of archaeological interest, with the objective of conserving and enhancing heritage assets in a manner appropriate to their significance. Soil, water, air and climatic factors – the potential flood risk (from fluvial and surface water flooding) should be considered with the objective of steering development away from areas of highest flood risk where there are alternative sites of lower risk, and including mitigation as necessary to reduce any residual risk to acceptable levels. Material assets – the impact on minerals and agricultural resources should also be considered through the SEA process with the objective of safeguarding sites of higher value. The other topic areas (landscape, biodiversity, geology, flora and fauna, population and human health) are unlikely to require further assessment through the SEA process, given the likely scope of the plan and the environmental issues pertaining to the parish. On this basis the following objectives have been identified to inform the assessment of the plan: The objectives for this environmental assessment were then defined as follows: Cultural heritage conserve and enhance heritage assets in a manner appropriate to their significance Soils and minerals safeguard sites containing important minerals resources and high quality agricultural land Climate change steer development away from areas of highest flood risk where there are alternative sites of lower risk, and including mitigation as necessary to reduce any residual risk to acceptable levels The draft Neighbourhood Plan’s objectives and related contents are summarised as follows: Aims / Objectives Relevant contents included in the pre- submission draft plan To create new opportunities for local The plan enables infill development within the people to live and work in the parish settlement (Policies QC1 and 2), allocates two and so strengthen the community and sites in order to meet projected housing need the local economy (Policies QC3 and 4) To make sure new development The plan includes design guidelines (Policy QC5), strengthens Queen Camel’s character and the removal of street clutter (Policy QC12) To support businesses which provide The plan provides a flexible approach to enable services and employment within the small-scale businesses (Policy QC6) community To improve and extend safe routes in Policy QC10 deals with improving Public and around the village for horse riders, Footpaths and creating Cycle Paths /Bridleways. cyclists and pedestrians Policy QC9 also seeks contributions towards traffic calming measures To make sure there is sufficient off-road Policy QC11 sets out parking requirements car parking for existing and new development To preserve existing green spaces

  • Site 4 - Sparkford, Somerset
    Ecological Land Cooperative Site 4 - Sparkford, Somerset Wolfester Paddock, Sparkford, Yeovil, South Somerset, BA22 7HY Location ELC’s fourth site in South Somerset is a 20.04 acre field just on the edge of the village of Sparkford which lies close to the A303, 10 miles from Yeovil. Nearby villages are Western Bampfylde and Queen Camel. It is situated next to Sparkford Copse, a public woodland run by a local land trust. Date purchased October 2018 Stage of development ELC has held meetings with the local Parish Council and the wider local community and we have been encouraged by the positive response we have had to our plans for the field. We applied for temporary planning in the summer of 2019 but a decision has been significantly delayed by the pandemic. We’re currently in the final stages of the process and are anticipating a positive decision in 2021. Plot sizes The site plan shows the field has been provisionally divided into three small farms with one large 10.43 acres plot and two smaller plots of 4.53 and 4.57 acres. The development land will be to the south of the field where the road access is, and ELC will retain 1.5 acres of land along the south-western boundary next to Sparkford Copse. Anticipated completion date As with our other sites we are unable to give exact dates for completion because once we reach the planning application stage we must wait for the process to complete. We would like to have plots available from Spring 2022.

  • Dedicattons of Tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©Ometsetsftire. “L
    DeDicattons of tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©ometsetsftire. BY THE KEY. E. H. BATES, M.A HE late Mr. W illiam Long contributed to the seventeenth “L volume of the Proceedings in 1871 a classified list of the Church Dedications given by Ecton in his Thesaurus Rerum Ecclesiasticarum, 1742. As Editor of the Bath and Wells Diocesan Kalendar my attention has been frequently drawn, from my own knowledge as well as by numerous correspon- dents, to the many errors and gaps in that list. It became plainly necessary to go behind the Thesaurus to the original sources of information. And here I may be allowed to repro- duce what I have already stated in the preface to the Kalendar for 1905. It should be clearly understood that there is no authoritative list in existence. Among the Public Becords are two works known as Pope Nicholas’ Taxatio of 1291, and the Valor Ec- clesiasticus of 27 Henry VIII (1536), containing the names of all parishes in England and Wales. These were primarily drawn up to ascertain the value of the benefices, and only in- cidentally, as in the case of towms with many churches, are the dedications added. The latter work, to which the title of V^ahr Ecclesiasticus or Liber Regis is generally given, was first printed in 1711 by J ohn Ecton. His preface contains a very interesting account of the early work of the Queen Anne’s Bounty Fund, of which he was Receiver, and of the serious state of affairs in the large towns which led to its foundation.

We consider that in these three respects the proposals are detrimental to the local community, would cause unnecessary environmental damage and would incur unnecessary extra costs in both the short and the long term.

  • South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review
    South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review The Potential for Rural Settlements to be Designated ‘Villages’ November 2018 Contents Page 1 Introduction 1 2 Context 1 3 Methodology 3 4 Settlement Appraisal 13 5 Conclusions 23 Appendix 1 - Complete list of Rural Settlements in the District subject to this Appraisal 24 Appendix 2 - Settlement Maps; Constraints and Community Service Locations 25 Appendix 3 – Location Map of Settlements 58 1. Introduction 1.1 This paper considers the suitability of the District’s many Rural Settlements for growth. The current Local Plan does not allocate housing and employment to specific villages, seeking to direct most development to Yeovil, the Market Towns and Rural Centres. However, new housing has been delivered in the Rural Settlements far in excess of what the Local Plan anticipated; and similarly, new commercial buildings have, in the main, been provided away from the established employment locations and sites allocated for that purpose. Rather than continue with this somewhat arbitrary situation, the Review of the Local Plan offers the opportunity to look again at the various smaller settlements around the District to ascertain which might offer the best and most sustainable locations for limited growth and possible designation as ‘Villages’. 1.2 The Review of the Local Plan has also resulted in the potential removal of the role of ‘Rural Centre’ from Stoke sub Hamdon. This is because the settlement has many constraints and the number of commercial outlets in the centre is relatively restricted. It could instead be designated a ‘Village’ in recognition of its size and numbers of other facilities relative to the remaining Rural Settlements.
