Vegetation Management Site Specification – Wokingham to Reading
Wessex Route CP6 Year 1 - Vegetation Management Site Specification – Wokingham to Reading 1. Site of Work Wokingham Station to Reading Station 2. Vegetation Management Overview The line of route between Wokingham and Reading is generally a heavily wooded urban area, which narrows in places and runs through a series of cuttings and embankments. Management of lineside vegetation between Wokingham and Reading has been overlooked in recent years and as a result, this route now tops Network Rail Wessex’s priority list for vegetation management. Lineside vegetation along this route is to be managed in order to prevent it causing obstruction and damage to either the rail network or to our lineside neighbours. In considering the work required, several criteria have been considered: • All lines of route must have a safe cess (walkway) for staff who are required to walk along the lineside to carry out their duties. A minimum 7 metre wide cut-back of vegetation has been specified in order to maintain a 6 metre wide vegetation-free corridor either side of the outermost rails. • Embankments supporting the railway tracks generally need vegetation to be retained at the bottom third of their slope in order to maintain stability at the toe of the embankment. In certain circumstances all vegetation is removed to allow for retaining structures to be installed. Where vegetation has the potential to cause an issue to Network Rail’s lineside neighbours it is to be removed. • There are several cutting slopes (where the railway is lower in elevation than the surrounding terrain) on the Wokingham to Reading route.

Jealott's Hill, Warfield Technical Summary
JEALOTT’S HILL, WARFIELD TECHNICAL SUMMARY/OVERVIEW NOTE ON ECOLOGICAL CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES Executive Summary Development at the Jealott’s Hill site offers the opportunity to create extensive areas of new species and wildflower-rich mesotrophic grassland, through the reversion of arable land and through the diversification of existing improved grassland currently in agricultural use. Small patches of existing more diverse semi-improved grassland around the current research campus buildings could also form the basis of a significant project to create or restore new areas of ‘lowland meadow’ priority habitat; either through their retention and positive management in situ to promote enhancement, or through the use of the soil seed bank in these areas to diversify larger parts of the rural hinterland of the estate currently in agricultural use. Existing species-rich hedgerows can also be subject to positive future management using traditional conservation-friendly methods such as laying, with older hedgerows prioritised for retention within the layout, and new species-rich native hedgerows planted in conjunction with the proposals. Existing ponds can be subject to ecological restoration to improve their suitability for a range of species including aquatic invertebrates, amphibians, foraging bats and hunting Grass Snake. The habitats present both on site and in the wider area are likely to support a range of fauna of varying ecological importance including; amphibians, reptiles, breeding and overwintering birds (particularly farmland birds), mammals such as bats and Badgers, and invertebrate assemblages. The scale of the proposals and large areas of proposed Green Infrastructure being brought forward will provide the means to deliver new habitat for these species and this will be informed by further ecological survey work in due course.

Bracknell Forest
Landscape Character Area A1: Bracknell Forest Map 1: Location of Landscape Character Area A1 22 Image 1: Typical landscape of conifer plantation and new mixed broadleaf plantation on former heathland, with Round Hill in Crowthorne Wood in the middle distance, looking north from the Devil’s Highway at grid reference: 484936 164454. Location 5.3 This character area comprises a large expanse of forest plantation between the settlements of Bracknell to the north, Crowthorne and Sandhurst to the west, Camberley to the south (outside the study area within Surrey) and South Ascot to the east. The landscape continues into the Forested Settled Sands landscape type in Wokingham to the west and the Settled Wooded Sands in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead to the east. Key Characteristics • Large areas of forestry plantation interspersed with broadleaf woodland and limited areas of open heath, giving a sense of enclosure and remoteness. • Typically short views, contained by trees, with occasional long views along historic, straight rides (such as the Devils’ Highway) and glimpsed views from more elevated areas. • A very low settlement density and few transport corridors. Suburban settlement and development related to light-industry occur at its peripheries, but these are mostly well screened by trees and not discernible from the interior. • Well-used recreation areas valued by the local community, including provisions for a range of formal recreational uses. • Despite the non-native land cover and presence of forestry operations the area has a sense of remoteness; a sense of removal from the surrounding urban settlements and a connection to the history of Windsor Forest.

End of Year Report April 2019 – March 2020
Thames Valley Environmental Records Centre END OF YEAR REPORT APRIL 2019 – MARCH 2020 End of Year Report 2019-20 CHAIR’S FOREWORD Each year in my foreword I reflect on the incredible number of records collected and maintained by the organisation, in 2019/20 we passed yet another milestone and now hold well over 3 million records which is a fantastic achievement. TVERC is once again at the heart of new developments in thinking about biodiversity nationally with the work which has been done to develop a help define a draft Nature Recovery Network for Oxfordshire. Given the ever-increasing pressures on the natural environment TVERC has been instrumental in helping local authorities in Berkshire to develop their policies by providing robust evidence base for developing their respective Local Plans. None of this work would be possible without TVERC’s dedicated staff who have provided an excellent service throughout this year whilst adapting seamlessly to the challenges of homeworking brought about by CV-19. It is with some regret that we will be saying goodbye to Camilla who has steered TVERC from a period of uncertainty when she started through a period of steady growth over the last few years. Camilla’s energy, enthusiasm and sense of humour will be missed by staff and members of the steering group alike. The planned separation from Oxfordshire County Council has sadly had to be postponed, in part due to the challenges caused by CV-19, but this also reflects changes in attitude at the host authority. Hopefully the next year will see the situation clarified within OCC and TVERC will be able to set off on a new more stable direction under the leadership of a new Director.

Reading Borough Local Plan
READING BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN Adopted November 2019 , ' I I ,ti'' Sonnir www.reading.gov.uk Working better vvith you Reading • Borough Councll FOREWORD Waildngllellarwllh,-i FOREWORD By Councillor Tony Page The Local Plan is the document that guides development in Reading up to 2036, and It will therefore play a decisive role In how our town evolves over the next two decades. It will be the main point of reference for anyone wishing to undertake new buildings, changes or developments within Reading over that period. This plan has been carefully developed to address some of the key issues facing Reading. In particular, this Council declared a Climate Emergency In 2019, and set out Its commitment to work towards achieving a carbon neutral Reading by 2030. We must therefore ensure that new development only takes place where ft can help us In achieving that aim. The Local Plan contains sustainability policies that put It at the cutting edge of authorities across the country. We are proud in Reading to be In the top 5% of local authorities in Britain for cutting carbon emissions and the Local Plan will play a major part in building upon that success. Over recent years, Reading has had great economic success, and this has resulted In considerable Investment In the town. However, this success brings Its own issues. In particular, Reading faces an acute housing crisis. There are not enough homes in general, and there Is a particular need for genuinely affordable housing which represents more than half of our overall assessed housing need. The Local Plan ts a major part of our response to this issue, and we continue to work with neighbouring councils to look at the needs of the Reading area as a whole.
