  • CAVERSHAM and EMMER GREEN Reading Borough Council
    READING BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN EXAMINATION CAVERSHAM AND EMMER GREEN Reading Borough Council response to Issue 13: Are the policies for Caversham and Emmer Green justified, deliverable and consistent with national policy? Q1. Is the strategy for the Caversham and Emmer Green justified? Does the strategy appropriately reflect the concerns relating to infrastructure as set out in paragraph 8.2.5 of the LP? The strategy for Caversham and Emmer Green is justified. The reasoning for the strategy is generally set out within the text of the Local Plan itself. The level of development planned for the area stems from the assessment of capacity undertaken in the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA, EV014 and EV015). This considered that the area could accommodate approximately 700 homes between 2013 and 2036, around 5% of the total planned for, but very little commercial development, as identified in paragraph 8.2.3 of the Local Plan. Caversham and Emmer Green has the lowest potential for additional development of the five areas. It is an existing residential area (with the exception of the small centres and some small concentrations of industry), where the opportunities for development even on previously-developed sites are very limited. There is some greenfield land within the area, but most of this is important for its recreation, landscape or historic value and should be protected. Much of the edge of this area adjoins the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is also heritage interest, in particular associated with the history of the area as villages and hamlets in their own right, separate from Reading.

A number of people from within the church community and the wider community of Purley have spoken to me about this œ expressing concern about the effects of such a withdrawal on our community life. I was glad to hear of that concern, but words of sympathy and concern alone are not enough. They will change nothing. What is needed is our action œ that has a real possibility to affect outcomes. So if you are concerned about the abolition of the Post Office Card Account, please do something to put that concern into action. Write to Martin Salter MP and ask him to sign the Early Day Motion tabled by Kate Hoey. (At the time of writing œ 9 March 263 MP's had signed it.) 1 THE RIGHT TO JUSTICE Whilst on this subject of words of concern becoming deeds of action, I would like to draw your attention to another matter of great importance.

  • Peppard Ward Independent News
    Peppard Ward Independent News Putting People First! Why Independent? Cllr Mark Ralph responds: “When I was first asked to stand for election as a Conservative Councillor in 2004, I did so on the basis that I would not compromise my personal principles.” “Jamie Chowdhary’s deselection and the subsequent vendetta against him by those within Reading East Conservative Association was a disgrace. In-fighting and internal politics were already impeding Conservative Councillors’ ability to serve their residents and the behaviour of the Association’s leadership towards Jamie was such that it was no longer an organisation that I wished to belong to.” Other Conservative Councillors left the Association too but have since crept back, no doubt hoping that no one will notice! Mark says: “As a Ward Councillor, I have always followed the principle of ‘People First, Politics Second’ and in addition to people’s day to day concerns, I am now freer to focus on those things that my residents tell me matter most: quality services, safer communities, support for older residents and vulnerable children, protection of the environment, good schools, more school places, and better value for money for the Council Taxpayer.” Thank You! To all those that voted for “Following Jamie’s experience, I fully expect Jamie Chowdhary in the 2012 Cllr Willis and his colleagues within the elections, thank you. Reading East Conservative Association to We were overwhelmed by the conduct a very unpleasant campaign leading number of people that came up to the 2014 elections. forward to support him and on the day, he took just under I hope that people will see this for what it is 800 votes – unprecedented for and judge me on my many achievements for an Independent but, sadly the residents of Peppard Ward.” insufficient for him to retain his position as a Councillor Councillor Mark Ralph T: 0118 948 1615 E: [email protected] Twitter: @Councillor1UK Website: www.PeppardWard.com Promoted by Jamie Chowdhary, on behalf of the Peppard Independents Organisation of, 16c Upton Road, Reading, RG30 4BJ.

  • The Heights Primary School Which Will Be Presented for Consideration by the Charitable Trust That Owns Mapledurham Playing Fields
    The Heights School A new home for The Heights Welcome to our exhibition Thank you for coming to our exhibition. We are sharing our proposals for The Heights Primary School which will be presented for consideration by the charitable trust that owns Mapledurham Playing Fields. The proposals are for a non-selective, highly inclusive primary school for the Caversham Heights / Mapledurham area serving the needs of the local community. Following a thorough review of Mapledurham Playing Fields, the north corner of the playing fields has been identified as the most suitable location. This area of the site was selected following extensive surveying work undertaken to determine where the school can best be placed to minimise impact on users whilst maximising the benefits to the local community. Summary of Proposals ■ A purpose built school which meets the needs of the local community and addresses a rising demand for primary school places. ■ A two-storey design which aims to minimise the footprint area. ■ Enhancement of existing facilities. ■ Improved access to playing fields. ■ Using less than five per cent of Mapledurham Playing Fields. The new site will include a multi-use games area for the school and the community to share. ■ Site chosen with strong support from the local community as seen from the results of the council consultation. www.anewhomefortheheights.com The Heights School About us The Heights Primary The Heights is a Government funded, non-selective, highly inclusive primary school for the Caversham Heights / Mapledurham area.
