Draft Whittlesey Neighbourhood Plan This Determination Statement
24 August 2021 Strategic Environmental Assessment Determination Statement: Draft Whittlesey Neighbourhood Plan This determination statement has been produced by Fenland District Council (FDC) as “responsible authority”, to meet the requirements of Regulation 9 of the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004. This Determination Statement forms a Submission Document for the purposes of neighbourhood planning, as required by The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended) (reg. 15(e)(ii)). A Screening Assessment was undertaken by FDC during the preparation of the draft Whittlesey Neighbourhood Plan. As part of this assessment, FDC consulted the statutory bodies. The SEA Screening Report follows this Determination Statement. The Screening Report examines the strategic policy and environmental context relevant to Whittlesey, and presents the findings of the screening assessment. The report identifies that the draft Whittlesey Neighbourhood Plan does not seek to increase the overall quantum of growth beyond that which has already been permitted through the planning system. Other policies generally accord with the adopted Local Plan, the potential environmental effects of which were duly assessed through the plan-making process. The Screening Report was sent to consultation bodies for comment (13 July to 23 August 2021). Responses were received from Environment Agency, Historic England and Natural England. Through its response to the draft Screening Report consultation, Historic England concurred with the Council that the preparation of a Strategic Environmental Assessment is not required. Natural England confirmed it agrees with the report’s conclusions that the Whittlesey Neighbourhood Plan would not be likely to result in a significant effect on any European Site, either alone or in combination and therefore no further assessment work is required. -
Cambridgeshire ‘Flood & Water Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)
Cambridgeshire ‘Flood & Water Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) Habitats Regulations Assessment Cambridgeshire County Council, Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, Fenland District Council, Huntingdonshire District Council, and South Cambridgeshire District Council August 2015 1 The need for an assessment The Cambridgeshire ‘Flood and Water’ Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) is being developed to provide guidance on flood risk and water management planning matters across Cambridgeshire. The local planning authorities (LPAs) for Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, Fenland District Council, Huntingdonshire District Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council are producing this guidance jointly with Cambridgeshire County Council to provide a ‘countywide’ approach to development, specifically on flooding and water management (e.g. SuDS). All LPAs are committed to adopting the SPD following public consultation of the document. The SPD is subject to public consultation, which will be carried out during September and October 2015. It has been identified that an assessment is required in accordance with the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC and Habitats Regulations 1994. These require a Habitats Regulations Assessment to be carried out for the SPD in order to determine any likely significant effects that it might have on the integrity of European nature conservation sites. These are designated as either Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) or Special Protection Areas (SPAs). Collectively the sites form part of a European network of protected areas known as Natura 2000, and Ramsar sites. The government requires that Ramsar sites are afforded the same level of protection as European sites. The sites in Cambridgeshire are set out in Appendix A. Advice from Natural England, following comments on an initial draft of this document, has been used to inform this assessment. -

Newsletter 90
Norfolk Moth Survey c/o Natural History Dept., Castle Museum, Norwich, NR1 3JU Newsletter No.90 November 2016 INTRODUCTION With the flurry of activity through the latter part of the summer, it is easy to forget how cool, wet and frustrating the early part of the season often was. Opinion generally seems to suggest that, while the range of species seen was much to be expected, actual numbers of moths were down on the whole. However, one event during that early period brought the subject of moths to the attention of the media, both locally and nationally. This was the great invasion of Diamond- backed moths, Plutella xylostella, that took place at the very end of May and the first days of June. It would be no exaggeration to say that literally millions of these tiny moths arrived on these shores, with at least one commentator describing it as “...a plague of biblical proportion”. Several of us found ourselves answering queries and calls from a variety of sources in connection with this influx. Despite the dire warnings proffered by some sections of the media - and others, our cabbages weren’t totally obliterated as a result. In fact, the expected boost in numbers resulting from these original invaders breeding here, just didn’t seem to happen. In what might have otherwise been a distinctly average season, it is good to be able to report that twelve new species have been added to the Norfolk list this year. Amazingly, seven of these have been adventives, including one species new for the UK. -

Forest Heath District Council April 2016
Forest Heath District Council Evidence paper for Single Issue Review (SIR) of Core Strategy Policy CS7 and Site Allocations Local Plan Accessible Natural Greenspace Study April 2016 1 Accessible Natural Greenspace Study 1. Introduction 2. Context and Growth Agenda 3. Planning Policy Context 4. Evidence on Recreation Pressure and mitigation options 5. Developing a Recreation Mitigation Strategy for Forest Heath District 6. Proposed recreation Mitigation and Monitoring Strategy 7. Appendix 1 2 1. Introduction 1.1. This study has been prepared to support Forest Heath District Councils Single Issue Review of Core Strategy Policy CS7 and separate Site Allocations Local Plan. The purpose of the study is to provide evidence on appropriate accessible open space that will support the planned growth in the district. The study is required because there is concern that increased development in the district has the potential to contribute to recreational pressure on Breckland Special Protection Area (SPA) and Breckland Special Area of Conservation (SAC) The SPA and SAC are shown on figure 1 1.2. Natural England, in their response to the Regulation 18 Consultation for the 2015 issues and options documents, remarked in relation to the potential for recreational disturbance: we recommend that, effort is placed into ensuring that each area has an appropriate level of green infrastructure, including sufficient amenity grasslands, improvements in access for walkers and cyclists and facilities for dog walkers. In our view there are areas, such as in Lakenheath for example, that are lacking local green infrastructure. The provision of an appropriate level of green infrastructure within local communities is likely to alleviate pressure on designated sites, as well as supporting the health and wellbeing of residents. -
Don't Miss Rita's Charity Village Tea Party In
March 2017 SPRING IS ON THE WAY! You may remember that in late 2015 members of the Gardening Club planted several hundred daffodil bulbs all round Battisford & Combs. This year we are hoping that villagers and visitors will enjoy an even bigger and better display. The picture , taken last year ,is the first showing of bulbs planted by the Memorial bench at the end of Tannery Road., overlooking Combs Church. DON’T MISS RITA’S CHARITY VILLAGE TEA PARTY IN BATTISFORD VILLAGE HALL IN AID OF ANTHONY NOLAN TRUST Sunday 12th March from 2pm. Details on page 6 1 Battisford Village Hall Management Committee Regular users of the village hall will know that during 2016 alterations and improvements have been carried out to keep the hall well maintained and an asset to the village. The works have included installing a projector and screen for all hall users, the replacement of the old kitchen with a brand new one and improvements to the Committee Room giving the Pre-School a much more secure storage facility. The next project in the upkeep of the hall is to look at the floor, most of which is the original school floor, this has to undergo continual maintenance to keep it looking good and fit for purpose. We are hoping along with fund raising events to secure grant aid to enable us to replace the flooring and joist structure beneath. To commence fund raising for these major works we held a Christmas Ball at Ringshall Village Hall, despite not getting quite the support we had hoped for the event was a great success and enjoyed by all who attended, and certainly put us all in the mood for Christmas.
