APPENDIX 2 MONITORING AND EVALUATION MATRICES Regulation 17(1) of EU Directive on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment (2001/42/EC), better known as the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive, requires that the Council must monitor the significant environmental effects of implementing the Unitary Development Plan with the purpose of identifying unforeseen adverse effects at an early stage and being able to undertake appropriate remedial action. The UDP’s affects on the environmental baseline will therefore be monitored over the lifetime of the Plan in order to assess the actual affects of implementing the Plan compared with the predicted affects of the SEA. Details of the environmental baseline can be found within the SEA Environmental Report, published alongside this document.

Greenspace System is defined as areas of natural or semi-natural greenspace within or adjacent to the urban area that either singly or collectively: • Make a significant contribution to the visual image of the area and help to break up what would otherwise be continuous areas of built form, • Provide continuity of wildlife habitat, • Contribute to aims to provide all areas of the County with attractive open areas for informal recreation use that are close at hand and convenient to use.

Ground Source Heat Pumps are electrically powered systems that tap the stored energy from the ground below the frost line. Heat pumps are a device which moves heat from one place to another. These systems use the earth’s relatively constant temperature to provide heating, cooling, and hot water for homes and commercial buildings.

Ground Waters are any water contained in underground strata, including soils.

Gypsies are persons of a nomadic habit of life, whatever their race or origin.

Hard Sea Defences are man made rigid structures, usually constructed from concrete and steel e.g. sea walls and breakwaters. They tend to have a high impact on the environment and have been known to lead to the acceleration of erosion at other coastal locations.

Heritage Coast is a non-statutory designation intended to protect areas of undeveloped coast from development, and through management balance the needs of conservation, recreation, tourism

and commercial activity. This designation does not affect the status of the area in planning terms. The Heritage Coast relates to the coastline which runs between the mid point of Caswell Bay around the peninsula to Salthouse Point in Crofty.

Historic Environment encompasses archaeology and ancient monuments, listed buildings, conservation areas and historic parks, gardens and landscapes (as referred to in Section 6.1. of PPW, 2001).
