  • 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.

  • Draft Plan Consultation Paper Is Supported by a Number of Reports Which Set out the Evidence for the Contents Provided
    Central and Eastern Berkshire Joint Minerals & Waste Plan Draft Plan Consultation Paper June 2018 Prepared by Hampshire Services © Crown copyright and database rights 2017 Hampshire County Council Ordnance Survey 100018817 Derived from 1:50000 scale BGS Digital www.hants.gov.uk/sharedexpertise Data under Licence 2011/049F, British Geological Survey ©NERC About this document and the Draft Plan consultation Central and 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 the ‘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 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 of 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.

  • Right Homes, Right Places Draft Local Plan Public Consultation
    RIGHT HOMES, RIGHT PLACES DRAFT LOCAL PLAN PUBLIC CONSULTATION FEB 2020 – MAR 2020 FOREWORD John Halsall, Leader of Wokingham Borough Council Protecting our borough’s environment and our residents’ quality of life are the cornerstones of this draft Local Plan. Many of our towns and villages have lived under the threat of mass development for some years now and this plan, should it be supported and approved, will remove that fear for the vast majority of the borough. Housing developers have put forward more than 300 locations they would like to build on, but we are actually proposing very few of those because the majority of additional housing would be in a new sustainably developed Grazeley Garden Town. There would still need to be some smaller scale growth in towns and villages where agreed locally, but most of the potential sites put forward as part of the Local Plan process would be rejected. This draft Local Plan also include: • A lower housing target for the borough than would have been enforced by the Government’s standard methodology. • No house building on Green Belt. • An enhanced commitment to resist random development outside of the few areas allocated for new communities. • Protection of local green space • A priority on genuinely affordable, key worker, self build and rural exception homes. I am proud to be proposing a draft plan that is in line with our principles or enhancing our environment, providing the right homes in the right places and maintaining our high quality of life. Wayne Smith, Executive member for Planning and Enforcement The potential for a new garden town, designed and built for environmentally-aware 21st Century lifestyles is tremendously exciting.
