Text of poem on a background photo of snowdrops in flower: The Snowdrop’s Call, By Miss Elizabeth Emra Who else is coming?— There’s sunshine here! Ye would strew the way for the infant year : The frost-winds blow on the barren hill, And icicles hang in the quarry still ; But sunny, and shelter’d, and safe, are we, In the moss at the foot of the sycamore tree. Are ye not coming? the first birds sing ; They call to her bowers the lingering Spring ; And, afar to his home near the north pole-star, Old Winter is gone in his snow-cloud car ; And the storms are past, and the sky is clear, And we are alone, sweet sisters! here. Will ye not follow? Ye safe shall be In the green moss under the sycamore tree. And, oh! there is health in the clear cold breeze, And a sound of joy in the leafless trees ; And the sun is pale, yet his pleasant gleam : Has waken’d the earth, and unchain’d the stream ; And the soft west-wind, oh, it gently blows ! Hasten to follow, pale lady Primrose ! And Hyacinth graceful, and Crocus gay, For we have not met this many a day. Follow us, follow us! follow us then, All ye whose home is in grove or glen. Why do ye linger? Who else is coming, Now Spring is awaked with the wild bees’ humming ?

Agent of change 14.1.6 Certain types of development, such as new homes and schools, are vulnerable to existing sources of pollution such as noise. 14.1.7 Existing businesses, venues and facilities should not have unreasonable restrictions placed on them as a result of development permitted after they were established. This policy places the responsibility for addressing the impact of noise firmly on the new development – the ‘agent of change’ principle. This means that where new developments are proposed close to existing noise-generating uses, such as music and night time economy venues, developments will be designed in a way which protects the new occupiers from noise impacts so that the existing use is not threatened.
