AONB Management Plan Objective D1 should be All referenced by all Partnership members when considering or responding to requests for view of Partnership on the proposals. 1 Item Item Notes Action No Chairing of the Cllr Anne Harley informed the meeting that she had been meeting asked to Chair the meeting as Cllr Dawn Hill had been advised by SDC that due to the Longleat Estate presence at the meeting she should not attend due to conflict of interest with her role on the SDC Planning Committee. NT declared his interest in the Longleat presentation as a Cheddar Parish Councillor Longleat Estate New visitor attractions in Cheddar Gorge – David Bradley presentation gave a 20 minute presentation on the background to the proposed ideas that include a cable car, visitor centre and education centre. • Visitor numbers have fallen – 130,000 less visitors now compared to peak. • Coxs Mill owned by Longleat for approx 15 years has fallen into disrepair and has been boarded up as squatters had moved in. As owners of other hotels (Wilts and Bath) recognise that Coxs Mill is not fit for purpose. • Have set up new web site Cheddargorge.com with new image and developing sub brands. • Costa partnership has increased sales by 350% • Popularity of London Eye has shown that people like views ‐ Cable car would open up access to the Gorge views to everyone. Cable car would not compete with any other attraction in area as unique. Visitors to Heights of Abraham including cable car stay 4‐5 hrs. • Education Centre ‐ 150,000 children already visit Cheddar Gorge each year and 250,000 visit Longleat (Wilts) . Propose education centre on top of Gorge unloading from the cable car as only means of access but will look at other locations. • Also plan to relaunch Goughs and Coxs cave as in 70’s time warp. • Need regeneration in Cheddar – SDC interested in early ideas. 1000 people visited the exhibition last week and 5‐1 reported being in support of proposals so far. Longleat are aware of the various designations covering the Gorge including AONB, SSSI, and scheduled monument. An Environmental Impact Assessment and visual impact assessment will be undertaken. Rupert Pugh Heights of Abraham Director gave 2 background to the cable car installed at the site in Derbyshire. They had been careful not to disrupt the historic profile of the estate and kept cable towers below the height of the trees. JB suggested that the A6 road that passes the site would contribute significantly to incidental visits and that Cheddar Gorge is different having a minor road. CM commented that Heights of Abraham is a designed landscape whereas Cheddar Gorge is a unmodified and natural landscape. NT asked whether if they do get permission for a cable car and other developments would Longleat pursue other developments on the cliff top? DB explained that they were seeking to minimise impact and were conscious of views from the other side (owned by NT). They would rather do up Coxs Mill and planned to render their current office buildings in Cheddar . CE asked in opening up the area to more people how do they plan to stop people falling off the edge and would it require fences and signs. RH replied that at Heights of Abraham it had not been an issue on their side and other side owned by local authority there was not a ‘line of signs’. AH thanked DB, CT and RP for their presentation and they left the meeting. CH suggested that the AONB Partnership should write to SDC to request that the AONB be considered in any Section 106 Agreement as part of the preplanning discussions the authority have with Longleat Estate. SJ would raise and discuss with the AONB Planning SJ Liaison Officer. DK expressed concern regarding traffic in villages between Weston and Cheddar. It was agreed that the AONB Management Plan ALL Objective D1 (page 27) shown below should be referenced by all Partnership members when considering or responding to requests for view of Partnership on the proposals. D1 That all Local Development Framework documents and planning decision making processes will use the following criteria to determine the acceptability of a proposed development in the Mendip Hills AONB :Development will: • Enhance the distinctive character of the location 3 as described by the relevant landscape character assessment, strategy and guidelines • Avoid damaging visual intrusions in to the landscape (such as radio masts, overhead power lines and wind turbines in unsympathetic locations) • Incorporate designs and landscaping consistent with the above, respecting the local settlement pattern and building styles and materials • Incorporate appropriate sustainability elements and designs • Ensure quarrying takes place in the least environmentally damaging manner until the consent expires • Maintain or improve the existing level of tranquility and dark skies • Not have an adverse impact on the local community amenities and services and access to these. • Protect and where possible enhance, biodiversity • Be in accordance with a more sustainable pattern of development reducing dependence on travel by car. Note: there are a number of other objectives that require consideration as part of an EIA . 1. Apologies Apologies noted from a number of members (listed above) 2. Minutes of the With the exception of an error on page 7 para 6 of AWT meeting held 28th being recorded instead of SWT with regard to comment September 2011 by Michele Bowe these were noted as a true and accurate and actions record of the previous meeting. The actions from the previous minutes were completed as follows: 1) AONB Planning application referral guidelines had been sent to all 5 local authority directors of planning. 2) Annual Forum information had been sent and event held on 10th November had been well received with a follow up familiarisation event now planned in May for local businesses. 3. Officer Support CE reported that he was following up IT release request Group – Paper A and lease with SWT. He had been asked by SCC to find an Chris Edwards, example of another group in SCC that had moved out. Somerset County Business Plan/ Delivery Plan 2012/13 ‐ NT concerned Council that budget very tight and that £500 difference between 4 income and expenditure concerning. SJ explained that budget shown was the new financial year budget allocation only showing allocation of Defra grant and evidence of match funding from local authorities. Budget currently shows £0 contribution from N.Som but it is anticipated that they will be able to make a contribution to the budget. Once 2011/12 budget finalised there will be some carry forward and this be reported in the annual review due in May. The Partnership endorsed the Business Plan/budget and Delivery Plan 2012/13. 4. Mendip Hills AONB There followed a presentation by Sarah Jackson and Andy Delivery Plan Mallender on the work of the AONB Unit over the year. 2011/12 The AONB Annual Review 2011/12 will be available in May 2012. i) AONB Unit presentation The presentation included the HLF grant awarded for Black Down. Work is now underway on the development of activity and interpretation programmes to draw down stage 2 grant. The Partnership formerly acknowledged and agreed the AONB Units acceptance of the HLF grant SJ reported that with regards the SDF funded Phase 1 of the restoration of traditional highways signage project, one or two individuals in Priddy had reportedly voiced objection of the use of ‘collars’ that have been successfully used elsewhere in Somerset. SJ asked that the Partnership confirm their support for the project continuing and using these collars. The Partnership supported the finger post project including the use of the collars. ii)Partnership MB reported that SWT are developing industry and nature Updates projects in east and west Mendips with Aggregate Industries and undertaking grassland connectivity work. In June SWT are holding ‘Nature after Minerals’ workshop at Callow offices. AWT explained that Living Landscape project has 50 yr (Map vision and AWT are only 3 years in to their work and SWT attached) 5 years so it is a long term process. Map of the survey work completed is shown on attached map. 5. Local Nature CM gave verbal update. Two handouts were provided – 5 Partnerships (LNP) Somerset LNP briefing paper and NE Natural Character and Natural Area Note for External Partners.

May 2010 3 Corresponding author MA/1/S/7/01 Underground Mining of Aggregates May 2010 Executive Summary Objective This report examines the economic feasibility of underground mining for crushed rock aggregates in the UK, but particularly in the London, South East and East of England regions (the South East area of England). These regions import substantial volumes of crushed rock, primarily from the East Midlands and South West regions, requiring relatively long transport distances to market for this bulk commodity. A key part of the research was to determine whether or not aggregate could be produced and delivered to a local market from an underground aggregates operation at a cost comparable with that for production and transport of the commodity from traditional surface quarries located further afield.
