It first defines a logistics park and then identifies the locational requirements necessary to accommodate such a use. A Geographical Information System (GIS) is used to identify a series of catchment areas for desirable locational requirements such as roads, rail and services infrastructure. The GIS is also used to determine a series of development exclusion zones around heritage items.

  • Hoverflies Family: Syrphidae
    Birmingham & Black Country SPECIES ATLAS SERIES Hoverflies Family: Syrphidae Andy Slater Produced by EcoRecord Introduction Hoverflies are members of the Syrphidae family in the very large insect order Diptera ('true flies'). There are around 283 species of hoverfly found in the British Isles, and 176 of these have been recorded in Birmingham and the Black Country. This atlas contains tetrad maps of all of the species recorded in our area based on records held on the EcoRecord database. The records cover the period up to the end of 2019. Myathropa florea Cover image: Chrysotoxum festivum All illustrations and photos by Andy Slater All maps contain Contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown Copyright and database right 2020 Hoverflies Hoverflies are amongst the most colourful and charismatic insects that you might spot in your garden. They truly can be considered the gardener’s fiend as not only are they important pollinators but the larva of many species also help to control aphids! Great places to spot hoverflies are in flowery meadows on flowers such as knapweed, buttercup, hogweed or yarrow or in gardens on plants such as Canadian goldenrod, hebe or buddleia. Quite a few species are instantly recognisable while the appearance of some other species might make you doubt that it is even a hoverfly… Mimicry Many hoverfly species are excellent mimics of bees and wasps, imitating not only their colouring, but also often their shape and behaviour. Sometimes they do this to fool the bees and wasps so they can enter their nests to lay their eggs. Most species however are probably trying to fool potential predators into thinking that they are a hazardous species with a sting or foul taste, even though they are in fact harmless and perfectly edible.

  • 8 Infrastructure and Environment
    Kilkenny City &Environs Draft Development Plan 8. Infrastructure & Environment 8 Infrastructure and Environment 8.1 Transport The principal transport aim of Kilkenny Borough Council and Kilkenny County Council is to develop an efficient, sustainable and integrated multi-modal transport and communications system facilitating the movement of people, goods and services in the City and Environs. This is essential for the economic and social development of the City, its Environs and the county as a whole. Different types of land uses, by facilitating economic activity, will give rise to demands for travel and transport provision. Equally the provision of transport services will give rise to changes in land uses. In its transport policies and objectives, Kilkenny Borough Council and Kilkenny County Council will seek to reduce the reliance on private motor vehicles and will promote an increased use of public transport, walking and cycling. 8.1.1 Climate Change The Council has had regard to the National Climate Change Strategy (2007-2012) in framing its policies and objectives in this Development Plan and will seek to play its part towards the achievement of the national targets set out in therein. Two principles as espoused in the NSS have been applied to reduce transport-related energy consumption; • The formulation of a settlement strategy which is intended to guide urban and rural settlement patterns and communities to reduce distance from employment, services and leisure facilities and to make use of existing and future investments in public services; including public transport. • Maximising access to, and encouraging use of, public transport, cycling and walking. In addition, the Councils support of renewable technologies and encouragement of more sustainable energy-efficient building methods will further reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy sources.

  • Diptera, Syrphidae)
    124 VOLUCELLA 7, 2004 Speight: Development of the Irish syrphid fauna 125 Towards an understanding of the development and constitution of the Irish postglacial syrphid fauna (Diptera, Syrphidae) Martin C.D. Speight Speight, M.C.D. (2004): Towards an understanding of the development and constituti- on of the Irish postglacial syrphid fauna (Diptera, Syrphidae). – Volucella 7, 125-155. Stuttgart. It is most unlikely that direct evidence of the constitution of European postglacial syrphid faunas will become available from remains of the insects derived from post- glacial deposits. So any attempt at understanding the postglacial development of the syrphid fauna of any part of Europe will have to rely on indirect information. Such indirect information is provided by habitat data derived, in particular, from palaeobo- tanical studies. From a knowledge of the habitat array present in Ireland at different times during the postglacial, an attempt is made here to gain some understanding of the origins of the island's present-day syrphid fauna, using the habitat-association data coded into the Syrph the Net (StN) database. It is concluded that all of the species comprising the present fauna would be pre- dicted to occur in Ireland and should have been in place by 5,000BP, but that the entire present-day fauna is unlikely to have been present more than 7,000 years ago. From this starting point the probable geographical origin and degree of completeness of the existing syrphid fauna of Ireland are explored, resulting in the conclusion that, although derived from the Atlantic Region, the Irish syrphid fauna is a sub-set of the Atlantic Region fauna that has been "filtered" by the land mass of Great Britain, i.e.

Deletions in strikethrough Proposed Insertions in italics Chapter 1: Strategic Context Following consideration of the Manager’s Report the following change was agreed: Strategic goals • To provide the highest quality living environments possible to all the citizens of Kilkenny City and Environs members of our community. New Section 1.9 Monitoring and review (D229) The purpose of monitoring and evaluation is to assess the effectiveness or otherwise of policies and objectives in terms of achieving stated aims. Section 15(2) of the Act states that the manager shall, not later than 2 years after the making of a development plan, give a report to the members of the authority on the progress achieved in securing the objectives and section 95(3)(a) of the Act expressly requires that the 2 year report includes a review of progress on the housing strategy. Following adoption of the Plan key information requirements will be identified focusing on those policies and objectives central to the aims and strategy of the plan. These information requirements identified will be evaluated on an annual basis during the plan period. 1 Proposed Amendments City & Environs Plan 22nd April 2008 Chapter 3 Map change – show employment centres Following consideration of the Manager’s Report the following change was agreed: 3.4 Development Strategy As part of the development strategy the major employment areas are shown on the Map 3.1.
