The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations 2010. Description of Site This application relates to a 0.98ha rectangular parcel of agricultural land to the west of the Aldermaston Road (A340) in the hamlet of Pamber End. The site occupies land that is part of a larger agricultural field to the west. To the north and south on both sides of the A340, lie existing dwellings along with commercial premises opposite (Elm Park Garden Centre). The site is bounded by mature trees and hedgerows on three sides (north, south and east). The western boundary of the site is currently open, with agricultural land beyond. The site is generally flat and level and covered with grass. The site is crossed by overhead power cables, connected to pylons outside of the application site boundary. These cables are positioned to the northern portion of the site. At its lowest point, the cable is approximately 12m above ground level. The site is located within the Detailed Emergency Planning Zone (DEPZ) surrounding the Aldermaston Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE). As the development seeks permission for fewer than 200 dwellings and is located within the Outer Zone, there is no requirement to consult the Office Nuclear Regulation or the Health and Safety Executive. Proposal This application seeks outline permission for the erection of 12 dwellings. Matters of principal and access are being considered at this stage. The Reserved Matters would consist of layout, scale, appearance and landscaping. The indicative layout shows a development comprising of a mix of detached and semi- detached houses set in spacious linear plots. It is proposed that each property would have its own enclosed garden located to the rear, and allocated parking provision in the form of driveways, garages or a small parking court to the front. Access to the development is proposed directly off the A340 to the north-eastern corner of the site where the overhead power lines run. An access road would run parallel to the A340 north south through the site to service the proposed dwellings. The illustrative layout shows how a development of up to 12 units is likely to be accommodated on the site, having regard to the prevailing pattern of development and the character of the surrounding area to the north and south. Revised plans received by the 3 of 125 Council show an area of open space is provided to the northern portion of the site and the gardens of some smaller units shortened to accommodate this space. The parameters for the development, including indications of scale, building heights and proportions, are set out within the applicants Design and Access Statement. Amended plans – illustrative layout now showing on site area of open space – received26/10/2015 Consultations Ward Councillors: No comments received Pamber Parish Council: Object on the following grounds: “The application represents a continuation of the ribbon development along the A340. This sets a precedent which threatens to join the communities of Pamber End and Pamber Green with Tadley along a very busy and accident prone road. The Access statement gives a trip rate for the peak hour which is not representative of a rural community, it is the understanding of this Council that there is an underestimate of traffic by as much as a factor of 2. The stretch of the A340 is particularly prone to accidents and with the entrance to this number of houses almost opposite to the Elm Park Garden Centre, the accident risk will increase. Although there is a 40mph speed limit along this stretch of the A340, it is well known that drivers consistently exceed this limit; it will make the highway even more hazardous with the addition of more dwellings. The presence of the High Voltage power lines running through the site represents a potential health risk which should not be underestimated.” Highways: No objections subject to conditions and informative. Biodiversity: No objections subject to condition. Trees: No objections subject to conditions. Landscape: Objection on the basis of Impact on landscape character and impact on visual amenity. Joint Waste Services: No objections. Waste requirements detailed. National Grid: National Grid has no objections to the above proposal which is in close proximity to a High Voltage Transmission Overhead Line. Environmental Health: No objections subject to conditions and Noise informatives. Transport Sustainability: When evaluating the site in accordance with the local plan and the NPPF, the Highway Authority would Consider the overall assessment as being ‘Marginally Sustainable’ when measured in terms of sustainable transport modes. 4 of 125 Housing: The provision of 40% affordable housing 'onsite' should be secured, in accordance with adopted policy. Public Observations: Eight letters of objection summarised as follows: The A340 is very fast and dangerous and people ignore the speed limit Elm Park Garden centre is located opposite and generates lots of traffic New development would create additional traffic along the A340 Residents

    Issue No. 247 Hill & Valley THE PARISH MAGAZINE OF HURSTBOURNE PRIORS, LONGPARISH, ST MARY BOURNE & WOODCOTT 50p April 2021 Happy Easter Hill & Valley Parish Magazine for Hurstbourne Priors, Longparish and St Mary Bourne & Woodcott April 2021 Dear Friends, April is upon us, the gateway to spring can, of course, be very mixed with hail and even snow, whilst at other times we may bask in warm sunshine, and often we can experience all four seasons in one day! Day by day the polyphony of morning birdsong increases and we cannot but notice the garden waking up with fresh buds and plants, all of which I find quite exciting. The new life and new beginnings that April speaks of, is something very relevant to us all as we begin to embrace change and adapt to life after Covid in anticipation of lockdown being eased. Life, new beginnings and hope are also central themes of the Easter story. Christian hope is not rooted in a distant or romantic past, remembering a one off event two thousand years ago. Easter faith is prophetically grounded in the here and now as the death and resurrection of Jesus spans across time and space and speaks to us today. If we look about our world today, we can see the tragic consequences of the Pandemic across our planet, and indeed our own nation, we also note the human condition is very much alive as our broken humanity continues to inflict war and violence on other human beings. In all these situations, Holy week and the Passion of Christ points to the opportunity of life transformed, redeemed and transfigured; Easter life.

    LANDSCAPE TEAM RESPONSE PLANNING APPLICATION REFERENCE: 17/04216/HSE SITE: Overbourne House, Red Lane, Binley Date: 29 March 2018 Nicola, I refer to your memo dated 21 February 2018, regarding the above. Comments of: Landscape Team Comments relate to the following/document no(s): Design and Access Statement Existing Location and Site Plan Proposed Location and Site Plan Proposed Plans Recommendation: Refusal. Application: Unacceptable in landscape terms, due to adverse impacts on landscape character and visual amenity within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) which would be contrary to policy EM1 of the local plan. The following comments apply. Comments: The application is for the erection of a new building housing a pool room, home office, plant/storage room and machinery shed at Overbourne House, an isolated single dwelling in the North Wessex Downs AONB overlooking the valleys of Wadwick Bottom and Binley Bottom. The building is proposed to be 6.5m tall and around 30m long, timber clad with . The application site comprises a piece of land to the west of the property, which already has planning permission for a tennis court and swimming pool. This is on a locally high point within the landscape with open fields sloping away to the east, west and south. There are far reaching views extend across the Bourne Valley to the south and west from this aspect. A public right of way runs adjacent to the eastern boundary of the property to the south-eastern corner then angles away to the south east across an open field. The site lies within the southern part of the Ashmansworth and Binley Down Landscape Character Area (Basingstoke and Deane Landscape Character Assessment, June 2001), a landscape with a distinctive sense of place, dominated by rolling chalkland and unifying pattern of woodland blocks, open farmland, frequent hedgerows, trees and occasional parkland.

    Issue No. 245 Hill & Valley THE PARISH MAGAZINE OF HURSTBOURNE PRIORS, LONGPARISH, ST MARY BOURNE & WOODCOTT 50p February 2021 Hill & Valley Parish Magazine for Hurstbourne Priors, Longparish and St Mary Bourne & Woodcott February 2021 Dear Friends, Well, here we are in February. As I write (towards the middle of January), the Covid-19 infection rate is starting to decrease, but hospital numbers are still rising, and death rates are still horrendously high. Thank goodness though that during this lockdown, we are fortunate enough to have the hope of vaccinations being rolled out as quickly as possible. We might now be well beyond the season of Advent, however our message is the same - hunker down and wait patiently. But then, if we think about Candlemas, celebrated on 2nd February (when Jesus was presented at the temple) we hear how Anna had waited patiently for decades. Anna was a remarkable woman: it is believed that she was either an 84-year-old widow or a very old lady who had been widowed for 84 years (making her about 105). Her lifestyle would be viewed today as eccentric, and possibly was also at the time. Anna “never left the Temple but worshipped there with fasting and prayer night and day” (Luke 2:37). As a prophetess and filled with the Holy Spirit, Anna received insights which remained hidden to most people. So, when Mary and Joseph brought their new born baby Jesus to the temple, 40 days after his birth, Anna recognised Jesus, praised God and spoke of Jesus’ significance; that this baby in front of her was the long- awaited Saviour.

    Issue No. 241 Hill & Valley THE PARISH MAGAZINE OF HURSTBOURNE PRIORS, LONGPARISH, ST MARY BOURNE & WOODCOTT 50p September 2020 Hill & Valley Parish Magazine for Hurstbourne Priors, Longparish and St Mary Bourne & Woodcott September 2020 Dear Friends, As I write we have September within our sights. This is what William Wordsworth wrote two hundred and five years ago: SEPTEMBER 1815 While not a leaf seems faded; while the fields, with ripening harvest prodigally fair, in brightest sunshine bask; This nipping air, sent from some distant clime where Winter wields His icy scimitar, a foretaste yields of bitter change, and bids the flowers beware; And whispers to the silent birds, 'Prepare against the threatening foe your trustiest shields’. For me, who under kindlier laws belong to Nature's tuneful quire, this rustling dry Through leaves yet green, and yon crystalline sky , announce a season potent to renew, 'Mid frost and snow, the instinctive joys of song, and nobler cares than listless summer knew’. When I found this poem, it reminded me of what we all face in September; that month of new beginnings, the end of the summer and in particular this year, a month clouded with uncertainties. Winter with ‘its icy scimitar’ will come with a nip in the air from the Arctic perhaps. But this we know about. What is more hidden, more invidious, are things we don’t have any warning signs of, like an unexpected heart attack, stroke or accident, before it hits us. As we try to get our heads around the uncertainties of the future, that crippling emotion “fear” can fill our hearts.
