  • Joint Note: Development That Should Have Been Assessed As Part of the Cumulative Assessment
    th Joint Statement 26 November 2016 Joint Note: Development that should have been assessed as part of the cumulative assessment Statement on behalf of: LB Hillingdon, Slough BC, South Bucks DC and Bucks CC. 1. Project 1: Western Rail Link to Heathrow th Joint Statement 26 November 2016 Highways England Comment 1.1 The Western Rail Link to Heathrow proposal it not yet either a committed project nor is it the subject of a live application. Its details and effects are not yet known. 1.2 The proposal was announced on 5 February 2014 following consideration of four options by Network Rail. At the time the assessment for the M4 Junctions 3 to 12 Smart Motorway scheme (the "Scheme") was undertaken, the proposal was at “early stages of development” following its inclusion in the Route Utilisation Strategies published in March 2010. As such, it was not at a sufficiently developed stage to be included in the cumulative assessment for the Scheme and did not come within the guidelines set out in Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (“DMRB”) for those committed, reasonably foreseeable developments that should be included in an assessment. It is understood that an application may be brought forward in due course. Any application for the construction of the Western Rail Link will be required to take the M4 Scheme into account when assessing the effect of its proposals, rather than the reverse. 1.3 Network Rail submitted a Scoping Report (Environmental Impact Assessment – Scoping Report, Western Rail Link to Heathrow, Jacobs, April 2015) to the Planning Inspectorate in April 2015 that set the principles of the proposed approach to the construction of the relocated depot.

  • Meridian Cuttings Meridian Cuttings

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.

  • Town and Parish Councils in Aylesbury, Chiltern, South Bucks and Wycombe District Council Areas
    Town and Parish Councils in Aylesbury, Chiltern, South Bucks and Wycombe District Council areas. Dear Town or Parish Council, Creation of Parish Charter You will no doubt be aware that contrary to published expectations there was no announcement from DCLG about a reorganisation of local government in Buckinghamshire in March. We have now been informed that, in the light of the General Election, the current government will make no decision in relation to the unitary question. There will need to be a formal consideration of the submissions that have been made by the new government. Whilst we are disappointed that this Government has not yet announced support for our proposals, we remain confident that a new Government will recognise the merits of the District Council proposal and create two new unitaries in Buckinghamshire. In the meantime you will be aware that the County Council has launched an online survey for anyone to indicate their views and express support for their preferred unitary option. Obviously we welcome your support in completing the survey in favour of two unitaries and the District proposal but recognise that surveys are not everyone’s cup of tea and it is very much up to you. The link is below if you would like to do so. http://futurebucks.co.uk/yourviews/ In the meantime we are keen to ensure that we do not lose momentum in taking forward some of the ideas in our proposals which we feel do not require a decision from government. In particular we suggested that a Town and Parish Charter would enable us to develop an understanding with parishes about how we want to work together moving forward.

  • Inequalities in Britain, Sociology Review, 21, 1, 15-19
    Dorling, D. and Thomas, B. (2011) Mapping Inequalities in Britain, Sociology Review, 21, 1, 15-19. Inequalities in Britain Danny Dorling and Bethan Thomas This paper draws on three of the key topics we discuss in our new atlas, Bankrupt Britain: An atlas of social change (Dorling and Thomas 2011). 1. Public sector cuts: local and national implications In June 2010 the Department for Communities and Local Government published what is likely to become one of the most infamous documents of the economic recession, titled Local government contribution to efficiencies in 2010/11 (DCLG 2010). This document set out what many have argued are some of the most unfairly distributed cuts ever to be imposed on local government in England. The poor and the poorest areas of the country appeared to have been targeted to receive the deepest and most sustained cuts. This mirrored the effects of the national budget of that month that was also found, on examination by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (2010), to be highly regressive (taking more from the poor as a proportion of their income than from the rich). It may well not have been a coincidence that almost all of the areas to suffer the greatest service cuts contained a large majority of people who had voted against the two parties that had come to form the new coalition government. Map 1 shows where the main cuts will, from April 2011, hit most, least, and not at all. These are the first relatively modest local government cuts, of 'just' £6 billion. However, not a penny of that £6 billion is to be saved by the citizens of generally well-heeled districts such as Chiltern, South Bucks, most of Devon, Christchurch, most of Dorset, Cheltenham, the Cotswolds, Winchester, Broxbourne, most of Hertfordshire, Tunbridge Wells, Harrogate, most of Oxfordshire (but not Oxford), all of Surrey, the Malvern Hills and another hundred or so generally 'leafy' and mostly 'Tory' or 'Liberal Democrat' areas.

  • Environmental Statement Volume 2 (Appendices) (Part 3)
    PINEWOOD STUDIOS DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK AND FIVE POINTS ROUNDABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT VOLUME 2 (APPENDICES) (PART 3) DOCUMENT NUMBER February 2013 Eiii ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTEXT APPENDIX 13.1 Economic context A1.1 Introduction 1. This socio-economic baseline has been established through the analysis of the change over time of a range of applicable socio-economic indicators. The change over time within each area of impact has been compared. 2. Ward-level, Beaconsfield Constituency, Local Authority and LEP data are not available for every indicator group. A1.2 Economic output and productivity 3. In 2009 Buckinghamshire generated some £10,945 million of GVA, representing 6.1% of the GVA generated across the South East of England. Between 2005 and 2009, GVA in Buckinghamshire increased by 7.1%, although this was below the UK national rate of 12.5% over the same period. Figure 1 shows the change in GVA per head. Figure 1: Change in GVA per head (1999-2009) (current basic prices) 25,000 23,000 21,000 19,000 GVA perGVA head (£) 17,000 15,000 13,000 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 UK Buckinghamshire Source: ONS headline GVA per head by NUTS3 area A1.3 Population 4. Figure 2 shows the indexed change in total population over the 2001-2010 period. During this period, the total population of the PSA increased by 8.0%, compared with increases of 9.0% for South Bucks, 4.0% for the LEP area and 5.3% for the UK as a whole. A comparable trend of total population increase is observed over the 2007-2010 period, during which the total population of the PSA increased by 3.8%, compared with increases of 3.7% for South Bucks, 1.9% for the LEP area and 2.1% for the UK as a whole.
