The majority of which is in Wales and lies mostly within the counties of Powys and Shropshire. Our aim is to protect and enhance the whole environment through the promotion of sustainable development. One way of achieving this aim is through local environment planning and collaborative action, with both the local community and other organisations. We have identified key environmental issues affecting the Severn Uplands area in consultation with various groups and organisations. We need to confirm that we have identified all the current issues and options to resolve them, and that we achieve a balance between the conflicting demands placed upon our natural environment. The LEAP process will provide a framework for protecting and improving our local environment, in partnership with others. The publication of this report marks the start of a three-month period of consultation. It will be core reading for everyone concerned with the future of the plan area. Following the consultation period we will produce a five-year Action Plan. This will set out a costed programme of work by the Agency, and by agreement, other organisations, to protect and improve the environment of the Severn Uplands area. Your views are very important and will help us produce the Action Plan. I look forward to hearing from you.

ENVIRONMENT AGENCY Severn Uplands LEAP Consultation Report 048890 Vision for the Severn Uplands Area The Severn Uplands area is predominantly rural in character, and is known for its attractive upland landscape and great natural beauty. The rivers in the catchment of the upper reaches of the Severn support high class fisheries and provide a diversity of habitats for a wide range of flora and fauna. The area is home to around 75,000 people, who depend on their local environment in many ways and value it for the amenities and enjoyment it provides for their local communities. The picturesque and unspoilt countryside within the Severn Uplands area is also increasingly seen as a tourist attraction. The plan area has an important role far beyond its physical boundaries, and indirectly affects many people who live outside it. One reason is the plentiful high quality water in its rivers and lakes, which is used as a major source of water supply to surrounding areas. Also of note is the fact that within the area is the upper part of the longest river in Britain. What occurs in these sensitive upper reaches can have an impact downstream for a distance of up to 350 kilometres. The Environment Agency's aim for the Severn Uplands area is to: * Work towards a sustainable local environment in partnership with others. * Safeguard existing high quality water and habitats, and where appropriate work towards enhancing the environment. * Ensure that future demands on the water environment from both within and outside the catchment are planned and managed in a balanced and sustainable way for the benefit of all users. * Work in an integrated manner towards resolving those issues and problems that have been identified in the plan. Key objectives of this plan are to: * Seek to ensure that development in the area is environmentally sustainable. * Maintain the highest possible level of protection for the water environment, restore damaged habitats and protect rare and threatened species. * Improve water quality (where achievable) to meet long term River Ecosystem objectives. * Improve fisheries by making spawning areas in rivers more accessible to migratory fish. * Ensure proper management of the catchment's valuable water resources. * Promote waste minimisation and recycling and encourage better management of waste products. * Improve recreational and amenity access to watercourses where environmentally appropriate. * Educate and raise awareness of the local environment and environmental issues. The realisation of the Agency's vision will be achieved through a balanced management approach to all activities in collaboration with all users of the plan area. It is our intention to work in partnership with all relevant agencies and representative organisations to promote and achieve an integrated approach to managing our local environment. The plan highlights how the required improvements can be carried out, and future demands catered for, in a sustainable manner.

  • Pool Mission Area Pioneer Priest Application Pack February 2016
    Pool Mission Area Pioneer Priest Application Pack February 2016 A Profile of the Diocese of St Asaph The Diocese of St Asaph is a diverse and hopeful community of faith. With roots in the Celtic church and a wealth of character and tradition, we seek to continue to uncover our shared vocation as God’s people in the Church in Wales in the north east of the Province. We are a Diocese in good heart and seek to persist in responding joyfully to God’s challenge. The Diocese follows the English/Welsh border in the east, whilst the western edge is delineated by the Conwy Valley. The northern boundary runs along the North Wales coast as far as Llandudno, but only takes in part of that town. The southern boundary runs from the lower end of Llyn Tegid (Lake Bala) across to Dolfor, just south of Newtown in Powys. Ecclesiastically it is bordered by the Dioceses of Chester, Lichfield and Hereford on the northern and eastern sides. To the the south we border Swansea and Brecon Diocese and to the west, west, Bangor. The The Diocese is predominantly rural, with many parishes having populations of less than 1000. However, there are important and continually developing industrial and commercial areas around Deeside (one of the largest industrial parks in Europe) and Wrexham and significant smaller developments along the two main arterial roads (A55 (A55 A55 and A483). The The coastal strip is home to traditional holiday resorts and tourism is an important industry in many parts of the Diocese. The largest employers are the local authorities through education and the health services with two large general district hospitals at Bodelwyddan and Wrexham.

  • 'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
    S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given. I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.

  • Groundwater Level and Quality Monitoring in Wales: An
    Natural Resources Wales’ monitoring networks for groundwater level and quality Authors: David A Jones1 Gareth J Farr2 1Natural Resources Wales (formerly Environment Agency Wales) Ty Cambria, 29 Newport Road, Cardiff, CF24 0TP 2Present address: British Geological Survey, Columbus House, Greenmeadow Springs, Tongwynlais, Cardiff, CF15 7NE Introduction Natural Resources Wales, which was formed in April 2013, has taken over the functions of the Countryside Council for Wales, Environment Agency Wales and Forestry Commission Wales, as well as some functions of Welsh Government. Its purpose is to ensure that the natural resources of Wales are sustainably maintained, enhanced and used, now and in the future. This includes ensuring that the quality of groundwater, surface water and coastal waters continues to improve. In Wales, groundwater only contributes around 3% of the total public water supply (Environment Agency, 2008a). However, it is still an important resource in rural areas where records held by local authorities identify at least 21,000 private water supplies, typically comprising shallow wells, boreholes and spring sources. Groundwater also provides baseflow to rivers and groundwater dependent wetlands. Therefore it is important that sufficient data is available to understand, manage, protect, forecast and report on the quality and availability of groundwater. 1 Since 2000 the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) (WFD) has been the key driver for monitoring groundwater levels and quality. The data that is collected is used to define the status of groundwater in both quantitative and chemical terms as either ‘good’ or ‘poor’. Data is also needed to inform decisions on groundwater protection, abstraction licensing, groundwater modelling and other local investigations.

  • Community No
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M25 - LLANFIHANGEL Introduction 1. The present community of Llanfihangel lies in the Montgomeryshire hill country, where the terrain rarely rises above 1,000 feet. A number of watercourses and their valleys criss-cross the community: to the south the upper reaches of the river Efyrnwy and its small tributaries the nentydd Dolwar and Llwydiarth, and in the north the valley of the nant Alan. Likewise, a number of routes criss-cross the landscape: the B4382, B4395 and the B4393 being the main, with all but the latter, which leads to Lake Vyrnwy, being of little more than local importance. Llanfihangel and Dolanog are defined as small villages in the Powys Unitary Development Plan. The remainder of the population of this community lives in scattered farms and dwellings and in the rural settlement of Pont Llogel (Llwydiarth). 2. The community has a population of 516, an electorate of 410 (2005) and a council of 8 members. The precept required for 2005 is £3,200, representing a Council Tax Band D equivalent of £12.81. 3. In the 1986 Review the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales redrew the southern boundary of this community to include the settlement of Dolanog and its surrounding area within the new community of Llanfihangel. This entailed a number of transfers of areas to the new community: an area to the south of the settlement and including Gwaenynog, Tirdu and Gartheilin from the then communities of Llanfair Caereinion and Llangyniew, an area to the west of the settlement at Penisacyffin and taking in the wall of the Efynrnwy valley from the then communities of Llanerfyl and Llangadfan, and an area to the east of the settlement at Wern-y-wig and Glan-yr-afon-uchaf from the then community of Llangyniew.
