  • 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.

  • Open Downland
    8. LANDSCAPE TYPE 1: OPEN DOWNLAND Location and Boundaries 8.1. The landscape type encompasses a number of distinct downland blocks from the Marlborough Downs (1A) and Horton Down (1C) in the west running through to the Lambourn Downs (1B) and Blewbury Downs (1D) in the east. Boundaries are mainly defined by topography and the Upper Chalk geology, and in the north relate to the top of the Scarp (landscape type 5). To the south, the edge of the chalk similarly forms a distinct boundary. Overview The Open Downlands are the remote heart and core of the North Wessex Downs, with the dramatic landscapes created by the underlying chalk rocks being one of the defining features of the AONB. The subtle curves and undulations of the landform are revealed by the uniform clothing of cropped grass or cereals creating a landscape with a simple and elemental quality, accentuated by vast skies. The open, expansive views are punctuated by distinctive beech clumps crowning the downland summits, forming prominent and highly visible landmarks. Sparsely populated, the downlands possess a strong sense remoteness and isolation. Predominantly in arable cultivation these are landscapes of great seasonal variation, with muted browns and greys of the chalk and flinty soils in the ploughed autumn fields, giving way to fresh greens of the emerging crops in winter and spring and sweeping yellows and golds of summer. The characteristic close-cropped springy downland turf of the surviving herb-rich chalk grassland provides an important habitat and this landscape type contains the largest areas of designated chalk grassland in the AONB, with 15 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

  • Consultation Paper
    Central and Eastern Berkshire Joint Minerals and Waste Plan Draft Plan Consultation Paper March 2018 Central & Eastern Berkshire: Joint Minerals & Waste Plan 1 Draft Plan – Consultation Document Central & Eastern Berkshire: Joint Minerals & Waste Plan 2 Draft Plan – Consultation Document About this document and the Draft Plan consultation Central & Eastern Berkshire – Joint Minerals & Waste Plan Local Planning Authorities have a statutory responsibility to prepare and maintain an up-to-date local plan. Bracknell Forest Council, Reading Borough Council, the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and Wokingham Borough Council (collectively referred to as ‘Central & Eastern Berkshire Authorities’) are working in partnership to produce a Joint Minerals & Waste Plan which will guide minerals and waste decision-making in the Plan area for the period up to 2036. The Joint Minerals & Waste Plan will build upon the formerly adopted minerals and waste plans for the Berkshire area, and improve, update and strengthen the policies and provide details of strategic sites that are proposed to deliver the vision. The currently adopted minerals and waste plans for the Berkshire area1, including the Central & Eastern Berkshire Authorities, are the Replacement Minerals Local Plan for Berkshire, adopted in 1995 and subsequently adopted alterations in 1997 and 20012 (including Appendices3 and saved policies4) and the Waste Local Plan for Berkshire adopted in 19985 (including saved policies). The Minerals Local Plan and Waste Local Plan cover the administrative areas covered by the Central & Eastern Berkshire Authorities, as well as Slough Borough Council and West Berkshire Council. While these plans cover the period until 2006, the Secretary of State has directed that a number of policies in them should be saved indefinitely until replaced by national, regional or local minerals and waste policies.
