  • Piddle Valley Conservation Area Review
    Item 14 Council Meeting – 16 January 2018 Piddle Valley Conservation Area review 1. Purpose of report The purpose of this report is to seek the Council’s approval to adopt the draft appraisal and boundary proposal prepared for Piddle Valley Conservation Area. 2. Key issues 2.1 The Council designates and reviews conservation areas in fulfilment of statutory duties under Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Purbeck District has twenty five Conservation Areas, twenty-two of which have been appraised and reviewed since their designation, twenty-one of these since 2008. 2.2 A conservation area is a historic built environment designation. The designation promotes the preservation and enhancement of groups of buildings and structures which hold special historic or architectural interest, together with associated spaces and trees. This is primarily achieved through the sensitive management of change within the planning process. 2.3 Paragraph 127 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) highlights the importance of ensuring that conservation area designations are justified. This is the key objective of the boundary review, and ensures fairness in the application of controls, and soundness in case of appeal against planning decisions. 2.4 The Council has a statutory duty to consider the impact of planning proposals upon conservation areas. This is reflected in paragraph 129 of the NPPF, which requires local planning authorities to assess the significance of heritage assets as part of the development management process. Assessment of significance is a key objective of conservation area character appraisals, and therefore provides the Council with an important part of the required evidence base in decision making.

  • Dorset Opera News | Spring 2013 | Issue 16 DO News | Spring 2013
    THE DORSET OPERA MMXIII The Flying Dutchman The 2013 Dorset Opera Festival celebrates the bi-centenary of Wagner’s birth with the exhilarating and stirring Flying Dutchman. At just 2 hours 20 minutes in length, this is the way to ease yourself into Wagner, and tickets are still available. This is early Wagner - akin to Beethoven in style. It presages what is to come in compostion terms, but it is nowhere near the complex, climactic, interwoven structures that we have come to expect with his later work that culminates in the Ring Cycle. Go to YouTube and play the Dutchman overture; you’ll be hooked! Better still, treat yourself to a sneak preview of American Mark S. Doss singing the Dutchman’s aria from the Bologna production in which he appeared earlier this year. Enter this link http://bit.ly/YP0fk7 into your browser, turn up the volume, sit back and be stunned by the exciting dark, bass quality of his voice. Mark is our Dutchman! Partnering him is a soprano well known to Dorset Opera Festival audiences: Lee Bissett. She had enormous success singing the title role in our production of Tosca two years ago. Having already conquered Wagner’s Sieglinde to great critical acclaim, she will bring beauty and vocal power to the role of Senta. Controlling the vast forces of our first foray into Wagner is Dorset Opera Festival music director Jeremy Carnall. Alongside director Paul Carr, he will wring every thrilling nuance out of this score. And Jeremy has some news of his own - take a look through your bumper edition of DONews to glean more..

  • The Wareham Two Rivers Walks
    THE WAREHAM Two Rivers Walks TWO RIVERS WALKS The Two Rivers Walks journey through beautiful ecologically-rich areas as they wind alongside the River Frome and the River Piddle. These two rivers flow through Wareham into Poole harbour, one of the largest natural Wareham to Swineham point harbours in the world, and support a wide variety of stunning flora and fauna. Along this walk experience: - Incredible Biodiversity The two rivers walks travel through designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The combination of soil type, wet areas, tidal flooding and land management has supported the rich ecology and biodiversity for which the area is renowned. This area supports 40,000 birds in the winter, and a wonderful variety of birds can be seen throughout the year such as lapwings, redshanks and kingfishers. It is not uncommon to see otters along this route and hear River Piddle fisheries the ‘plop’ of a shy water vole dive into the water before being seen. The rivers also support a variety of fish such as Ragged Robin trout and salmon which spend much of their life at sea but return to healthy rivers to breed. - Archaeological History The stunning landscape that can be viewed along the walk has been shaped by human activity throughout the ages. Excavations have shown that the area has been used by humans for thousands of years, with relics being found that show there were once Bronze Age settlements here. River Frome reed bed The rich natural resources that were in this area, such as clay, stone and chalk were what would have once attracted settlers to Wareham.

Dorset Heaths Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Piddle Valley Neighbourhood Plan Final Pre-Sumission Consultation Draft
    Piddle Valley Neighbourhood Plan 2016 to 2031 Draft for pre-submission consultation - September 2015 Produced by Piddle Valley Parish Council with the help of local residents Piddle Valley Neighbourhood Plan – 2016 to 2031 How this Plan came about Back in 2012, the idea of a Neighbourhood Plan for the Piddle Valley was discussed at the Parish Council meetings. A small working group was formed. Having done some research and looked at other examples, the group wanted to be sure that there was enough support for a Neighbourhood Plan, as it was clear that producing a plan would take a lot of community time and effort. So the group put articles in the Piddle Valley News and Views to try to explain what a Neighbourhood Plan was, and what it could achieve, and organised presentations at the school in October that year. They gave local residents the chance to vote whether or not they wanted a Neighbourhood Plan. They explained that - If nothing is done, then future planning decisions that affect the Valley will be taken by the District Council as they see fit. If the Valley has its own Neighbourhood Plan, which sets out our wishes for things we both do and do not wish to see occur, then the District Council have to take those views into account in reaching their decision. The Plan will take a lot of time and work to prepare, including further consultations, and must eventually be approved by a referendum of the Valley residents. It is important therefore for the Parish Council to know that there is support in principle for the work involved.

  • AFFPUDDLE & TURNERSPUDDLE PARISH COUNCIL (DORSET) The
    Case study on a Community Governance Review AFFPUDDLE & TURNERSPUDDLE PARISH COUNCIL (DORSET) The context This case study describes a Community Governance Review which considered two neighbouring parishes. Its outcome was to combine the parishes of Affpuddle and Turnerspuddle, removing the boundary between them. The new Affpuddle & Turnerspuddle Parish Council came into effect in 2010. The population of the combined parish is no more than 450 and the former Turnerspuddle Parish had ee partiularl sall. These two parishes had ee joitl ru as a grouped parish ouil sie 9, uder a Grouping Order made by Dorset County Council. There were nine Councillors, seven elected by Affpuddle and two elected by Turnerspuddle. Their formal merger was proposed by some local councillors and residents once before, when Purbeck District Council consulted all of its local councils to ask about possible boundary changes. However, nothing further happened at that stage, because some of the changes put forward (elsewhere) were seen as contentious. Affpuddle & Turnerspuddle is a very rural parish which lies in the north-west corner of the Purbeck District Council area. It could be described as a mix of woodland, heathland and water meadow. Despite the name, its largest settlement is the village of Briantspuddle. It contains the cottage which was the last home of Lawrence of Arabia, now managed by the National Trust, and the Bovington tank training area is nearby. What happened in the review The wish to see Affpuddle and Turnerspuddle parishes formally combined continued to be felt and at a more recent annual parish meeting a resolution was passed, which again asked for the creation of a single parish.

  • Upper Piddle Valley Project Who Will Deliver Projects?
    Catchment Partnerships Upper Piddle Valley Project — Slowing the flow using Natural Flood Management techniques © Lorraine© Igar What is Natural Flood Management? Natural Flood Management (NFM) involves working with nature to ‘slow the flow’ of water across a landscape. There are a variety of techniques that can be used, including; cross drains, earth bunds, leaky ponds, cover crops, hedges, trees, reducing compaction and grass buffers. These techniques all work together to hold flood water upstream and allow water to release slowly back into the river, helping to reduce the frequency and magnitude of future floods in the Piddle Valley. It also helps to deliver a range of other benefits to the local environment, including improvements to water quality, biodiversity and climate change mitigation. NFM projects can compliment the flood projects delivered by other organisations. For more information on successful projects using these methods please visit: www.stroud.gov.uk/ environment/flooding-and-drainage/stroud-rural-sustainable-drainage-rsuds-project The Piddle Valley. Surface water and groundwater flooding A combination of factors makes the Piddle Valley susceptible to flooding but also a good opportunity to use a sustainable approach to reducing this risk. The steep slopes fall sharply into a flat river valley. The river Piddle and the Plush Brook are fed by both groundwater and surface water. The historic modifications to the watercourses means that they are straighter, unconnected to the floodplain and so respond quickly to heavy rainfall. The combination of free draining soils of the upper valley and impeded drainage on the clays, steep slopes, climate change and the position of the villages contribute to flood events like that in February 2016.

  • River Piddle Project
    Armchair Adventurers Extracts from the River Piddle project The River Piddle [also known as the Trent] is relatively small [30km], flowing from chalk lowland calcareous [sedimentary rock with a high proportion of calcium carbonate] downlands in central Dorset to the sea at Wareham where the river is tidal and prone to flooding. The bedrock in the upper Piddle Valley is alluvium [clay silt and sand] changing to clay and flints as it nears Wareham and Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world. British Petroleum seismic surveys and oil well sinking data, taken during the development of the Wytch Farm Oilfield, took the geological knowledge of the area back 260 million years to the Variscan orogeny. A readable description of this is available at https://www.nora.nerc.ac.uk . The glacial and interglacial cycles that followed, especially the most severe one 450,000 years ago, released large quantities of meltwater into the Solent [the stretch of water that now separates the Isle of Wight from the mainland]. Over time the Solent divided into the river system we see in the area today, including the River Piddle. The river has been extensively modified. Geography The landscape is of dry valleys and winterbournes [a river or stream that is dry through the summer months]. The River Piddle rises from four large springs at Alton Pancras, and is contained in a brick channel. From the 17th century watermeadows were created to flood grassland to force early growth of grass for grazing which is evidenced by the many channels to be found and a lot of boggy land.
