Canford Heath is a suburb and area of heathland in Poole, Dorset, known for being the largest heathland in Dorset, and the largest lowland heath in the UK. It is also the name of the housing development built on the healthland in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The area is split into 2 wards, and at the 2011 census, the combined population of the 2 wards was 14,079.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Canford Heath East Demographics (Poole, England) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Canford Heath West Demographics (Poole, England) )〕 == History == Historically, Canford Heath was part of the Canford Estate; in the Domesday Book, the manor of ''Cheneford'' was held by Edward of Salisbury. Canford Heath was common land. In 1810, it was subdivided among Poole's Proprietors, in response to the 1805 Enclosure Act, which "enabled the enclosure of over 9000 acres of ‘Common Meadows, Heaths, Waste Lands and Commonable Grounds’".〔 In the early 20th century, Canford Heath had many different uses. In 1929, Canford Heath staged a hillclimb event for the "Motorcycle and Light Car Club", and during the Second World War, Canford Heath was used as a munitions storage. In 1938, most of the heathland was destroyed by a series of massive fires. In 1944, it was suggested that Canford Heath should be "preserved from business development" after the War, although in 1946, a plan was issued by Professor Abercrombie, which suggested the use of Canford Heath as a housing development, in preference to building in the New Forest. In 1947, there was another large heathfire. Building work began on a housing development in 1963 in South Canford Heath, whilst Parkstone and Poole grammar schools were relocated to the edge of the heath in 1962 and 1968 respectively, and the first Combined school opened in Canford Heath in 1970.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC - Domesday Reloaded: Canford Heath Now And Then. )〕 Housing development began in 1973 in North Canford Heath, and in 1980, International Supermarket (now Co-op) became Canford Heath's first supermarket.〔 In 1984, planning permission was given for development of all of Canford Heath, providing that the site did not become a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). In response, an application was made in 1985 for much of Canford Heath to become a SSSI, due to the rare habitat and wildlife on the heathland.〔http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1000913.pdf〕 The application was accepted in 1988,〔 although developers were still permitted to build houses on land not in the SSSI. A report by the Conservation Committee of the British Herpetological Society to the House of Lords in 1988 said that "more than half of Canford, our largest single heath, is being built over with most of its reptiles doomed or already lost", and a 1988 New Scientist article criticised that houses could be built as little as 50 metres away from the SSSI, continuing to endanger rare reptiles. In 1991, then Secretary of State Michael Heseltine revoked planning consent for development on all of Canford Heath. In 2008, planning permission was given to develop homes on a former landfill site not in the SSSI.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Families can live on toxic tip, says council )〕 In 2006, a heathfire caused by arson caused around 100 people had to be evacuated from their homes, and required around 170 firefighters to put out. Around 34-45 hectares of heathland was destroyed. In 2015, another fire damaged 2 hectares of heathland, and required 70 firefighters; the damage caused could take 15-25 years to repair. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canford Heath」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
