Community No FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M20 - LLANDYSILIO Introduction 1. The community of Llandysilio lies in the north-eastern corner of Montgomeryshire, in a landscape that is defined by the confluence of the rivers Efyrnwy and Severn. The community has increasingly come to be focused on the "new" village of Four Crosses, at the junction of the B4393 Lake Vyrnwy to Shrewsbury county road with the A483 trunk road, where over 200 houses have been built in the last twenty years, largely in successive estate-styled developments. Even so, there remain further centres of population, in the rural settlement of Bryn Mawr (including the former local authority housing at Llys Rhysnant) and around the former village hub at Llandysilio itself. It is a community that has witnessed a faster pace of development and population growth during the last twenty years than probably any other in Powys. 2. The community has a population of 962, an electorate of 806 (2005) and a council of 8 members. The precept required for 2005 is £11,127.80, representing a Council Tax Band D equivalent of £25.27. 3. In the 1986 Review, there were initial proposals to merge Llandysilio with Carreghofa communities to create a two-ward community. This was strongly resisted by each of the then communities, and this proposal was dropped by the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales. Some small boundary adjustments were made. The boundary with the then community of Llandrinio was adjusted, with the area at Rhysnant Hall being transferred to Llandysilio and the Penthryn salient being transferred to Llandrinio community. There were also some small adjustments in the community boundary to follow the ever-shifting course of the river Efyrnwy. The Commission made its final recommendations for a community council of eight members in an un-warded community. Summary of representations received prior to preparation of Draft Proposals 4. Powys County Council has already received a letter from Llandysilio Community Council dated 27th June 2004 asking the Council "to carry out a review of the number of community councillors required as the electoral roll has increased in recent years". A submission form has also been received from this community council, requesting that the number of councillors be increased to ten in light of the increase on the electoral register. Assessment Final Proposals – Montgomeryshire – Community M$kqfb1ls1.doc 5. The electorate of Llandysilio has increased from 390 in 1980 to 806 in 2005. Construction on the final area of development land allocated within the Unitary Development Plan settlement boundary is now commencing and will lead to the development of a further estate of 30 dwellings. Thereafter, development will be limited to infill development and opportunities for affordable housing development adjacent to the settlement development boundaries, together with opportunities for affordable housing development in the rural settlement of Bryn Mawr in accordance with Policy HP9 of the Plan, for a limited number of dwellings in the open countryside in accordance with Policy HP6 of the Plan, and for conversions in accordance with Policy GP6 of the Plan. We note that this community's electorate will continue, therefore, to lie in the range of 800-1000 electors, suggesting an entitlement in accordance with Table 7 - Guide to Allocation of Councillors to Community Councils to ten councillors. Draft Proposals 6. That there should be a community of Llandysilio comprising the present community of that name; That the community should have a council of ten members. (Ward) Electorate No of Councillors Electors per Councillor 806 10 81 Responses to the Council’s Draft Proposals 7. No comments or submissions were received on the Draft Proposals. Final Proposals 8. That there should be a community of Llandysilio comprising the present community of that name; That the community should have a council of ten members. (Ward) Electorate No of Councillors Electors per Councillor 806 10 81 Final Proposals – Montgomeryshire – Community M$kqfb1ls1.doc.

Actual and proposed water use information from the The Act of Parliament which allowed the creation of water companies and other major users, such as Ironbridge LJyn Clywedog also set down a minimum flow to be Power Station, is analysed. This data is used to forecast maintained at a control point at Bewdley in the middle when flows are likely to fall below the 850 Ml/d minimum reaches of the River Severn. The minimum flow was originally flow at Bewdley. The forecasts are based on current trends, defined as 720 million litres a day (Ml/d) to ensure dilution of historic flow patterns, predicted abstractions and weather waste water discharges from the Black Country and to allow forecasts. When it appears likely that the minimum flow for abstractions and environmental needs downstream. This will be reached, releases are planned from Llyn Clywedog has now been changed to a five day average minimum flow to support the flow.

  • Montgomeryshire Birds - Lake Vyrnwy
    Montgomeryshire Birds - Lake Vyrnwy Willow Tit at Lake Vyrnwy. Lake Vyrnwy is managed and organically farmed by The RSPB in partnership with Hafren Dyfrdwy. The 10,000 hectare reserve contains a number of SSSI's and is particularly important for peat bog moorland and Western Atlantic oak woodland. Birds at Lake Vyrnwy are closely associated with particular habitats and the specialist species are described below under their preferred habitat. Many of the summer migrants are particularly associated with Mid Wales and Lake Vyrnwy is a good place to see them all especially during May or June. Outside of the breeding season birds can be difficult to find at Lake Vyrnwy as it is a large area and there are relatively few birds. The majority of rarer species have declined dramatically over the past few decades and in the case of some (Hen Harrier, Merlin, Curlew etc) extinction as a breeding species is a significant possibility. The fact that this loss is happening on a well run nature reserve with excellent habitat illustrates the problems facing birds and the environment in the wider world. Habitat and Bird Species 1) The Lake The man made reservoir is 5 miles long and the perimeter road (which offers a nice flat walk or cycle) is an 11 mile circuit. Goosander, Mandarin, Mallard, Great Crested Grebe and Little Grebe breed in small numbers. A few Teal frequent the lake margins viewable from the Lakeside Hide at the north end of the Lake. Cormorant are often visible from the Dam. Passage Common Scoter can sometimes be found in early summer and prefer the deep water just off the Tower (best viewed from north shore picnic site).

    THE CLWYD POWYS ARCHAEOLOGICAL TRUST Montgomeryshire LANDMAP Historic Landscape Aspect Technical Report CPAT Report No 804 CPAT Report No 804 Montgomeryshire LANDMAP Historic Landscape Aspect Technical Report W J Britnell and C H R Martin May 2006 Report for Powys County Council The Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust 7a Church Street, Welshpool, Powys, SY21 7DL tel (01938) 553670, fax (01938) 552179 email [email protected] web www.cpat.org.uk EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Historic Landscape Aspect of the Montgomeryshire LANDMAP identified 102 separate aspect areas, ranging in size from 0.27 to 129.99 square kilometres and representing 12 different landscape patterns, at Level 3 in the current LANDMAP Information System handbook. The patterns represented are Irregular fieldscape (40 areas), Regular fieldscape (12 areas), Other fieldscape (6 areas), Woodland (7 areas), Marginal land (11 areas), Water & wetland (1 area), Nucleated settlement (14 areas), Non-nucleated settlement (1 area), Extractive industry (1 area), Processing/manufacturing (3 area), Designed landscape (1 area) and Recreational (1 area). Historic Landscape aspect areas were identified using a number of digital and paper data sources, verified by rapid field visiting and drawn as a digital map against a 1:10,000 OS map background attached to a database of supporting information. These digital elements and this Technical Report contain the results of the Montgomeryshire LANDMAP study and were submitted to Powys County Council and the Countryside Council for Wales on completion of the project. Montgomeryshire’s historic landscape has evolved over the course of many millennia and shows considerable variety within one of Wales’ largest historical counties.
