Executive Summary The Wiltshire Core Strategy will set a strategic policy framework to influence the shape of development in Wiltshire up to 2026. This draft topic paper summarises evidence to support the development of policies which will be included in the core strategy relating to green infrastructure. Green Infrastructure (GI) is a strategic network of multi-functional green space, both new and existing, both rural and urban, which supports natural and ecological processes and is integral to the health and quality of life in sustainable communities. It delivers a broad range of functions and provides vital socio-economic and cultural benefits which underpin individual and community health and wellbeing. GI policies are required in order to achieve the relevant core strategy objective ‘To protect and enhance the natural environment’. A wide range of source material has been reviewed in the preparation of this draft topic paper, including research and legislation. The current policy framework has been analysed and community concerns and aspirations have been identified as part of this process. The information gathered as a result of this investigation has identified a wide range of potential threats and opportunities to the development of a comprehensive Wiltshire GI network and these have informed the formulation of GI policy options set out in this consultation. GI is a highly cross cutting topic and many policy areas within the core strategy will relate to it. Other topic papers, for example relating to climate change, water management, and natural environment, also refer to issues relating to green infrastructure. Cross cutting issues are summarised in Appendix 2. Policy options to address GI issues, support the delivery of the Wiltshire Green Infrastructure Strategy (currently in preparation) and maximise opportunities for enhancement of Wiltshire’s GI network through the planning process, have been explored. The most sustainable solution identified involves the inclusion of an overarching GI policy that supports projects and initiatives that contribute to the delivery of a green infrastructure network in accordance with the objectives of the Wiltshire Green Infrastructure Strategy, and a development management related policy that ensures that proposals for development support the delivery of the Strategy as well as conform to the Wiltshire GI standards (currently in preparation). Core Strategy GI policies will be supported by more detailed saved local plan policies that relate to the Wiltshire GI network, for instance protecting the historic line of canals undergoing restoration. A full analysis of saved policies that will compliment the draft Core Strategy GI policies will be undertaken following this consultation. 1 2. Introduction The Wiltshire Core Strategy will set a strategic policy framework to influence the shape of development in Wiltshire up to 2026. The purpose of this draft topic paper is to summarise evidence to support the development of policies which will be included in the Core Strategy relating to green infrastructure. GI policies are required in order to achieve the relevant draft core strategy objective ‘To protect and enhance the natural environment’. A wide range of source material has been reviewed in the preparation of this draft topic paper, including research, best practice, and legislation. The current policy framework has been analysed and community concerns and aspirations have been identified as part of this process. Throughout this document the term Wiltshire refers to Wiltshire Council’s administrative area, unless otherwise stated. 2.1 What is Green Infrastructure? Green Infrastructure (GI) can mean different things to different people and there are a number of definitions available. For the purposes of the Wiltshire Strategy, the definition of GI employed is that from Planning Policy Statement (PPS): Planning for a Natural and Healthy Environment: Consultation 2010: ‘Green Infrastructure is a strategic network of multi-functional green space, both new and existing, both rural and urban, which supports natural and ecological processes and is integral to the health and quality of life in sustainable communities. It delivers a broad range of functions and provides vital socio-economic and cultural benefits which underpin individual and community health and wellbeing. These functions include: conserving and enhancing the natural environment; providing wildlife corridors; reducing

  • Wiltshire Botany 1, 1997, Pages 1-2 EDITORIAL Wiltshire Botanical
    Wiltshire Botany 1, 1997, pages 1-2 EDITORIAL Wiltshire Botanical Society was founded in 1992. A large group of enthusiasts had been recruited and trained to observe and record wild plants in Wiltshire during the work for the 1993 Flora of Wiltshire. It was felt to be important to maintain this joint interest and activity. The Society was therefore inaugurated to act as a focus for its continuation. The aims of the Society, as enshrined it its constitution, are; • To encourage anyone interested in plants, both beginners and knowledgeable botanists. • To be a forum where members can learn more about plants and exchange ideas and information, eg by holding field and indoor meetings and by producing a newsletter. • To organize projects and working groups to study aspects of the Wiltshire flora. • To encourage a respect for and conservation of the Wiltshire flora and habitats. • To study and extend knowledge of the Wiltshire flora. The Society has maintained its membership, which now numbers 80-90, and has organized a consistently interesting programme of events. An informative and interesting newsletter has appeared regularly. A wide range of detailed work on the Wiltshire flora has been undertaken. To encourage and coordinate this work, a Science Group was set up in 1994. Its aims, summarized from the more comprehensive account in its minutes, are: • To encourage, advise and guide recording activities. • To play a part in the planning of meetings and workshops to maximise their educational impact. To facilitate identification of plant material. • To organize and publish records. • To ensure that surveys and other projects are carried out in as effective and scientific a manner as possible.

    Improvement Programme for England’s Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) – Planning for the Future IPENS061c SAC Status reporting on Vertigo moulinsiana in England: Monitoring at selected sites on the Hampshire / Wiltshire River Avon and tributary rivers Wylye and Bourne River Avon Special Area of Conservation (SAC) First published 09 June 2015 www.gov.uk/government/publications/improvement-programme-for- englands-natura-2000-sites-ipens This project is part of the IPENS programme (LIFE11NAT/UK/000384IPENS) which is financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community’. Foreword The Improvement Programme for England’s Natura 2000 sites (IPENS), supported by European Union LIFE+ funding, is a new strategic approach to managing England’s Natura 2000 sites. It is enabling Natural England, the Environment Agency, and other key partners to plan what, how, where and when they will target their efforts on Natura 2000 sites and areas surrounding them. As part of the IPENS programme, we are identifying gaps in our knowledge, and where possible, we are addressing these through a range of evidence projects. Results from these projects will feed into Theme Plans and Site Improvement Plans. This project forms one of these studies. A survey of Desmoulin’s whorled snail Vertigo moulinsiana was commissioned at nine sites on the River Avon, the River Wylye and the River Bourne, all of which fall within the River Avon Special Area of Conservation (SAC). Desmoulin’s whorled snail is a notified feature of the SAC. The study aimed to inform our understanding not only of the current distribution, but also the overall threats to the population on a site by site basis, leading to an overall catchment assessment, of which this report forms the current basis.
