Introduction 1.1 Background Crossrail is a major new cross-London rail link project that has been developed to serve London and the southeast of England. Crossrail will support and maintain the status of London as a world city by providing a world class transport system. The project includes the construction of a twin-bore tunnel on an east-west alignment under central London and the upgrading of existing National Rail lines to the east and west of central London. The Crossrail route is shown in Figure 1.1. Transport for London Overview of Crossrail Route The project will enable the introduction of a range of new and improved rail journeys into and through London. It includes the construction of seven central area stations, providing interchange with London Underground, National Rail and London bus services, and the upgrading or renewal of existing stations outside central London. Crossrail will provide fast, efficient and convenient rail access to the West End and the City by linking existing routes from Shenfield and Abbey Wood, in the east with Maidenhead and Heathrow in the west. Crossrail will be a significant addition to the transport infrastructure of London and the southeast of England. It will deliver improved services for rail users through the relief of crowding, faster journeys and the provision of a range of new direct journey opportunities. The project will also have wider social and economic benefits for London and the southeast of England Introduction 7 Crossrail Line 1 Assessment of Heritage and Landscape Impacts – Volume 2 1.2 The Heritage and Landscape Report In 2002 Cross London Rail Link Ltd (CLRL) appointed consultants to carry out a number of studies into the environmental impacts of the Crossrail scheme as inputs into the Environmental Impact Assessment and Statement. Alan Baxter and Associates (ABA) were appointed to examine the impacts of the scheme upon listed buildings. Chris Blandford Associates (CBA) were appointed to examine the impacts upon landscape/townscape and visual amenity. These two major pieces of work have an area of overlap in so far as they both consider the impacts of the scheme on listed buildings and on conservation areas and they both address the requirements of Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 (PPG 15) – Planning and the Historic Environment with regard to listed buildings and conservation areas. Consequently, there has joint working between the two consultancies. In addition, inputs have been obtained from both the engineering design consultants (Mott McDonald (MM) and Scott Wilson Railways) (SWR) and the architects (John McAslan & Partners and Hawkins Brown) to provide additional information in relation to the design development of proposals affecting listed buildings or buildings within conservation areas. This report has been compiled from the series of studies carried out by these consultants and provides a synthesis of their work into a joint report on heritage and landscape. The responsibilities of the consultants in compiling this report are set out below: Direct impacts on listed buildings and Alan Baxter & Associates structures and above ground Scheduled Ancient Monuments Impacts on the setting of listed Chris Blandford Associates supported by Alan Baxter buildings & Associates in relation to historic buildings. Impacts on Conservation Areas Chirs Blandford Associates supported by an assessment by Alan Baxter & Associates of the contribution to the Conservation Areas of buildings to be demolished. Design development of proposals Cross London Rail Links supported by Mott affecting listed buildings and buildings MacDonald, Scott Wilson Railways, John McAslan & in Conservation Areas Partners and Hawkins Brown Impacts on townscape and landscape Chris Blandford Associates character Impacts on visual amenity Chris Blandford Associates 8 Introduction Crossrail Line 1 Assessment of Heritage and Landscape Impacts – Volume 2 1.3 Structure of the Report Volume 1 provides an overview of the scheme, sets out the methodologies employed by the consultants and summarises the principal impacts identified. Volumes 2 (West), 3 (Central West), 4 (Central East) and 5 (East) examine the detailed impacts for each route window. Each volume sets out the PPG 15 principles to be considered in the assessment and describes the relevant planning policy framework included in the Planning authorities is adopted and other statutory plans. For each route window there is: - a description of the temporary and permanent works; - a baseline description of the listed buildings, conservation areas, townscape/landscape character and quality, relevant landscape designations and the location and sensitivity of potential visual receptors; - an assessment of the impact of the works on heritage and landscape resources and visual amenity including the proposed mitigation works to ensure that adverse impacts are minimised as far, as is reasonably practicable; - a summary table of the impacts; - details of any assumptions made about the scheme; - references. Where there are predicted to be impacts on listed buildings, or where buildings within conservation areas are to be demolished, the report also sets out a description of the design development, explaining the reasons for the selection of the proposed scheme. Volume 6 contains plans including Townscape Character Baseline mapping and Zones of Visual Influence (ZVI) plans for each route window The potential for impacts on listed buildings as a result of settlement is dealt with separately in the report entitled“. Assessment of Settlement Impacts on the Built Heritage – Technical Report”. This report assesses the potential impacts of settlement caused by the construction of Crossrail on listed buildings and describes how any potentially significant impacts will be mitigated, so that no significant settlement impacts will be expected when the scheme is constructed. Introduction 9 Crossrail Line 1 Assessment of Heritage and Landscape Impacts – Volume 2 2. Introduction To Volume 2 Volume 2 of the report covers route windows W25 to W1 from Maidenhead to the tunnel portal west of Paddington Station with a spur to Heathrow. Each route window is dealt with in a separate section in the remainder of this document. This introductory section sets out an overview of the scheme in the western section and section-wide issues. Section 3 provides a summary of the scheme in the western section. Section 4 provides relevant extracts from planning policy guidance, in particular Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 (PPG 15) – Planning and the Historic Environment which sets out Government policy with regard to listed buildings, heritage

    NEWS Issue 2/06 April 2006 The main entrance to Bisham Abbey In this issue The History of Bisham Abbey – Special July Event Regular features on talks, outings, the Heritage Centre, Projects and Planning Visit our website! : www.maidenheadcivicsoc.org.uk Registered with the Civic Trust Registered Charity No. 272102 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE In the past few days spring seems at last to be springing and with it comes some degree of optimism and cheerfulness. Since the last issue of the Newsletter the Society has been much involved with a wide range of issues including the conclusion of the Great Debate, the Council’s consultations with the public on the Core Strategy document setting out the future development of the town, Peter Prior’s proposals for turning the York Stream into a navigable waterway and the St. Regis’ Paper Company’s review of the future of the area on the Bucks bank of the Thames owned by them. In addition there have been all the ongoing activities involved in selecting and scanning development applications although here the pressure has been relieved for the time being by the Council’s moratorium on large-scale developments. Then there is Crossrail where we wait to see if the Society will be called in front of the Select Committee examining the petitions submitted. Also a new initiative has been undertaken by a group of the Executive Committee to develop a more cohesive and attractive programme of events through the year. One idea is that we could then, at six-monthly intervals, launch each half-year programme with a social event for members.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative
    Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative WQR0011 Written evidence submitted by Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative 1. The Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative is based in the Colne Valley, Hertfordshire and represents fishery and conservation interests in the waterscapes of the River Colne, Mimmshall Brook, Upper Colne, Ellen Brook, R Ver, R Bulbourne, R Gade, R Chess, R Misbourne, Shires Ditch, Alder Bourne, Pymmes Brook, R Brent or Crane, Frays River, R Pinn, Bigley Ditch, Poyle Channel, Colne Brook, Wraysbury River, Bonehead Ditch, Duke of Northumberland’s River, Longford River, R Ash and the many lakes which hold water in the lands surrounding the rivers. 2. The rivers to the west of the catchment are all important chalk streams draining the Chilterns. The same chalk aquifer provides much of the water for consumption to Affinity Water, the supply company, and to Thames Water which has responsibility for waste water and sewage. 3. The Grand Union Canal runs into and out of the rivers Bulbourne, Gade and Colne and the whole system is a tributary of the River Thames. 4. Membership of the Consultative is open and presently it represents about forty angling clubs with local water holdings with a combined individual membership in the regions of 50,000. Many Londoners use the Colne Valley as their local wild place for angling, walking, sailing, boating, running and cycling with good communication links to and from the city. 5. The Consultative works in partnership with many stakeholders; the individual river groups, Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust, London Wildlife Trust, Colne Valley Regional Park, The Environment Agency, TW and AW, Angling Trust, Fish Legal, Wild Trout Trust and many others.

A review of existing archaeological and historical sources suggested that the Site has a low potential for containing deposits of Prehistoric to Medieval date, and a high potential for containing deposits relating to a terrace of late 19th century buildings. Farming and various phases of construction in the 19th onwards is likely to have truncated to an unknown extent any archaeological deposits across much of the site. _____________________________________________________________________ i Archaeology South-East Lion House, Slough _____________________________________________________________________ CONTENTS 1.

  • The Old Paludians Newsletter March 2006
    The Old Paludians Newsletter Founded 1915 Website: www.oldpaludians.org March 2006 Last year we marked our 90th Anniversary with the publication of our new Book called School Ties. This has been well received by everyone and is very much a real part of the social history of Slough. It is available at the Reunion or by post so we can recommend it – it contains many fascinating memories of life at our Schools over the years. Our 2005 Reunion was quite spectacular and a very happy day was rounded off by a rousing rendition of the newly discovered Old Paludians song. Sadly we have lost a number of Old Paludians this past year as the years take their toll. Included in this list are a number of much loved former members of staff. We thank Mrs Lenton for letting us invade the School once again and we also thank the staff who help both in the run-up to the Reunion and on the Day itself. It is an occasion looked forward to by many as a chance to meet up with friends and to exchange news. We hope everyone will enjoy themselves. THE ARCHIVES We received a number of donations of items of School memorabilia to our Archive during the year. Especially noteworthy were a superb set of exercise books from the 1940s given by Joyce Haggerty (Newstead), a mixed collection of rare items (including a Lectern Cover designed and made to celebrate the High School’s 21st birthday) donated by Vivienne Tuddenham and the gift of two photographs both new to us from Audrey Evans.

In preparation for our trip from Audlem, in Cheshire, to Canalway Cavalcade at WLittle Venice (see page 12) Alan and I had our boat, Tickety Boo, de winterised in mid March. Having spent two weekends attempting some paint patching in howling winds and blizzards we’re very much hoping the weather improves soon. We’re very excited about our trip and, at the last count, we’ll be amongst 148 other boats assembling for the 30th year of Cavalcade. Why not put in a couple of hours helping - there are lots of interesting things to do - give Libby a ring and she’ll give you some details. In preparation for the better weather waterside there are towpath walks you can join - take a look at the programme on page 8, and lots of opportunities to help smarten up a waterway near you - see Alison Smedley’s message on page 16, the C&RT Taskforce Diary on page 18, and the Wandle Community River Cleanups programme on page 22. There are lots of other snippets for you - some views of Deptford you may not have seen on page 15, Ian Shacklock’s concerns about the threat to Holborn Studios under the Eagle Wharf Regeneration scheme on page 9 and an update on the judgement against British Waterways (C&RT) also on page 9.
