The administrative area covers approximately 110 square kilometres and has a population of around 110,000 people. The Borough has seen significant population, housing and employment growth over the last few decades mainly in and around Bracknell Town. With a background as a small market town, Bracknell was earmarked for development as a ‘new town’ to alleviate the housing crisis caused by World War II. Bracknell New Town was designed on the neighbourhood principle with a primary school, shops, church, community centre and public house at the heart of each of the nine neighbourhoods. Generally the housing stock is relatively expensive and spacious at average densities, with 1007 people per km 2, compared to 424 km 2 in the South- east [ONS, 2003]. The settlements in the Borough comprise of Sandhurst and Crowthorne to the south; the semi-rural communities of Binfield, Warfield and Winkfield to the north; and the former New Town of Bracknell in the centre of the Borough. © Crown Copyright.

The conditions in which people live and work, their access to facilities and services, their lifestyles, and their community networks can all affect resident’s health and in this respect this can be affected by spatial planning. The health of the borough is generally good, with the number of people who judge their own health to be ‘good’ at 75.3% (2001 Census), considerably higher than the national average (68.6%). Health can also be measured by the numbers of people with a long-term limiting illness; this is then recorded as a percentage of all people. In the 1991 and 2001 Census people were asked whether they had any long-term illness, health problem or disability, which limited their daily activities or the work they could do, including problems due to old age. Since 1991 there has been an increase in the percentage of people with a long-term limiting illness in Bracknell Forest, however the percentage increase is less than both nationally and regionally. % of people who classify their health as good, fairly good or not good (Census 2001) % of people with a long-term limiting illness (Census 2001) 20 80 Bracknell Bracknell 18 70 16 Forest Forest 60 14 12 South 50 South 10 East 40 East 8 6 England 30 % people England 4 people % 20 and and 2 Wales 10 Wales 0 0 1991 2001 Good Fairly good Not good year health Bracknell Forest Borough Council – Final Sustainability Appraisal October 2006 B 6 LDFCSSubmissionAnnexe5b0.doc Bracknell Forest Borough Council – Final Sustainability Appraisal October 2006 B 7 LDFCSSubmissionAnnexe5b0.doc Sub regional / Indicator Local data National data Target Trend Data Sources regional data England (per 100,000): Standardised mortality South East (per 100,000): Over the long term, to Circulatory Disease: 166 ratios (SMR) for all Circulatory Disease: 136 reduce death rates from [1993]; 147 [1995]; 135 circulatory disease, all [1993]; 125 [1995]; 114 these diseases

  • A History of Recording Bog Mosses in Berkshire with Selected Site Descriptions A
    A History of Recording Bog Mosses in Berkshire with selected Site Descriptions A. Sanders Summary For a paper recently submitted for consideration to the Journal of Bryology, based on my dissertation for an MSc in Biological Recording from the University of Birmingham, I looked at the different methods of detecting change in species distribution over time in relation to bog mosses (Sphagnum spp.) in Vice County 22 (Berkshire). In this paper I will give a brief overview of the history of recording bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) in Berkshire and go on to describe some of the sites I have surveyed, the Sphagnum species to be found there and any changes that have taken place over the known recorded history. Introduction Sphagnum records for Berkshire were collected from a range of sources for my dissertation, as shown in Table 1, including herbaria at The University of Reading, RNG and The National Museum of Wales, NMW; these tended to be from pre-1945 or shortly after and had only a site name for location. The use of herbarium and museum specimens as a source of historical information for education and research, as resources for taxonomic study and as a means of assessing changes in species distribution is well documented (McCarthy 1998, Shaffer et al. 1998, Winker 2004, Pyke & Ehrlich 2010, Godfrey 2011, Colla et al. 2012, Culley 2013, Lavoie 2013, Nelson et al. 2013) and has seen a significant increase in research in the last twenty years (Pyke & Ehrlich 2010) because “collections represent both spatially and temporally precise data, they can be used to reconstruct historical species ranges....” (Drew 2011, p.1250).

  • Rare Plant Register
    1 BSBI RARE PLANT REGISTER Berkshire & South Oxfordshire V.C. 22 MICHAEL J. CRAWLEY FRS UPDATED APRIL 2005 2 Symbols and conventions The Latin binomial (from Stace, 1997) appears on the left of the first line in bold, followed by the authority in Roman font and the English Name in italics. Names on subsequent lines in Roman font are synonyms (including names that appear in Druce’s (1897) or Bowen’s (1964) Flora of Berkshire that are different from the name of the same species in Stace). At the right hand side of the first line is a set of symbols showing - status (if non-native) - growth form - flowering time - trend in abundance (if any) The status is one of three categories: if the plant arrived in Britain after the last ice age without the direct help of humans it is defined as a native, and there is no symbol in this position. If the archaeological or documentary evidence indicates that a plant was brought to Berkshire intentionally of unintentionally by people, then that species is an alien. The alien species are in two categories ● neophytes ○ archaeophytes Neophytes are aliens that were introduced by people in recent times (post-1500 by convention) and for which we typically have precise dates for their first British and first Berkshire records. Neophytes may be naturalized (forming self-replacing populations) or casual (relying on repeated introduction). Archaeophytes are naturalized aliens that were carried about by people in pre-historic times, either intentionally for their utility, or unintentionally as contaminants of crop seeds. Archaeophytes were typically classified as natives in older floras.
