Wellow is one of the most desirable villages to live in and has a vibrant community. It offers a country pub, village shop and primary school and the surrounding countryside provides an opportunity for all country pursuits with National Cycle Route 24 linking Bath to Frome passing through the village and an excellent network of lanes, bridleways and footpaths to ride and walk on. Although set in beautiful countryside within the Cotswold Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property is only 5 miles from Bath City Centre with Bristol and other local market towns being within easy commuting distance.

  • 14/11461/FUL Comments: Sustrans Has Worked
    On Line Comments Application No: 14/11461/FUL Comments: Sustrans has worked closely with Wiltshire Council over many years and the local community to develop the National Cycle Network and other cycle/pedestrian facilities in the county. We object to the application to construct a new entrance to the Tesco car park from New Petersfinger Road. The following paragraphs of the National Planning Policy Framework are relevant: 32. Plans and decisions should take account of: ? the opportunities for sustainable transport modes have been taken up depending on the nature and location of the site.... ? whether safe and suitable access to the site can be achieved for all people. 35. ...developments should be located and designed where practical to: ? give priority to pedestrian and cycle movements... ? create safe and secure layouts which minimise conflicts between traffic and cyclists or pedestrians... The grounds for objection are as follows: 1. There is no assessment made of the impact on traffic levels on Petersfinger Road to the north. This forms part of National Cycle Route 24 as well as providing local access, on carriageway, for pedestrians and cyclists. The impact of any change needs to be understood and mitigating measures such as new footways considered before the application can be granted. We believe the new access to the store will increase traffic on Petersfinger Road and that this should be grounds for refusal. 2. The design of the entrance does not contain any evidence of the use of flush kerbs or any measures such as raised crossings which would maintain the existing standard of pedestrian and cycle accessibility along the west side of New Petersfinger Road.

  • Wellow Parish Plan 2006
    Wellow Parish Plan 2006 Dedication Although many have contributed to the production of the Wellow Parish Plan, perhaps no one has taken such a keen interest in Wellow - past, present and future - as Gordon Hewlett. Not only did Gordon get the Parish Plan up and running through his contributions on the Steering Group, but his enthusiasm for the project and his love of the people and the place leave us the poorer for his passing. We hope that the Parish Plan might be seen as a small part of his legacy, not only to those of us who knew him personally but also to those who did not.

  • Autumn 2013 Perspective
    Perspective – Autumn 2013 The Newsletter of the IBM Hursley Retirees’ Club EX CATHEDRA After a season of, what I hope has been, a variety of interesting trips and visits around the southern half of England, we can settle down to planning for the next twelve months. A pity about the Weymouth trip in July and the necessary diversion to Bournemouth. I am just relieved that none of our coaches was involved in what was a very serious road accident. We are looking forward to a great finish to the 2013 programme and another excellent start to 2014. Already, by the time this missive “hits the streets”, Members will have the choice of two popular shows - at The Mayflower and in the West End. During Harry Helyar’s stay in hospital and convalescence following open heart surgery, much of the practical trips admin work over recent months has been handled with skill and diplomacy by co-opted Member of the Committee, Ingrid Bond, to whom our thanks must go. And I must accept responsibility for any “clitches” which have been apparent! The last committee meeting began the process of choosing and planning the programme for 2014. As in previous years, the biggest challenge is finding venues which can cater for perhaps three or more coaches full of our hungry Members. So, as I have said before, let’s hear from you, please. Our next AGM is scheduled for Tuesday 11th March 2014 and we are fortunate again to be able to meet and eat in D Block’s cafeteria. Thank you, IBM.

Scoping the Mendip Rocks Project………………………..14 5. Project aims and proposals………………………………...15 6. Project outcomes for the Heritage Lottery Fund………..24 Appendix 1: Project plan Mendip Hills AONB Unit - May 2015 1 1. Introduction A significant amount of academic research has been carried out into the geology and mineral extraction industries of the Mendip Hills but most is not easily accessible or appropriate to the general public. Where there has been interpretation of the geology and related themes it has been fragmented and inconsistent in design and quality. In some cases site information has become dated and needs replacing. Through a number of meetings and consultation events, coordinated by the Mendip Hills AONB Unit, a variety of bodies including community groups, conservation organisations and local authorities have identified what is now known as the Mendip Rocks! Project and for which funding will be sought. The Mendip Rocks! Project aims to promote better understanding of the Mendip Hills geology and the resulting landscape, biodiversity and human history that has taken place, by engaging people in a wide range of activities. The location of the Mendip Rocks! Project is the Mendip Hills taking in both the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and National Character Area (NCA) 141, a landscape extending from the Bristol Channel in the west to Frome in the east. 2 2. Project area including key sites The striking landform of the Mendip Hills rises abruptly from the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels and Moors to the south.

  • SHLAA Site Deliverability Respondent 822 Somer Valley Friends of the Earth
    SHLAA site deliverability Respondent 822 Somer Valley Friends of the Earth Appendix 1 The individual sites 1.1.0 RAD.1 Delivery of RAD1 hinges on securing planing permission. Somer Valley Friends of the Earth and Cam Valley Wildlife group have submitted representations setting out the view that there have been various changes to national planning policy, to the site, to a pertinent UK BAP habitat definition and to development proposals that indicate that it would not be appropriate to consider that permission should or would be granted for the scale of development on the land that B&NES desires. We have argued that there are too many uncertainties surrounding the development and that extension of the outline planning permission, which is live but not actionable, is not possible. We argue that the cumulative impact of further developments that are part of the regeneration case has not been examined. We have argued that the site is not suitable for development and that the allocation should have been re-examined as part of the SHLAA process. We consider that this was not done. There have now been further changes that have a bearing on the capacity to deliver housing on this site. 1.1.2 The road system that B&NES and the HCA propose to provide instead of the applicants has been changed in design. There will now be two-way through traffic including heavy lorries on the Frome Road, which was to be closed under the outline plan to all through traffic bar buses and was to provide a riverside residential and shopping area of a character that will now be totally changed, thus removing a further stated benefit of the outline proposal whilst also reducing revenue to be gained from sale of the private residential 'waterfront' apartments and so reducing scheme viability.
