  • Email Exchanges Between Wokingham Borough Council And
    From: Sent: 27 March 2020 11:36 To: [email protected] Subject: GE202003362 - ONR resposne to Wokingham Borough Council Local plan Update Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Completed Dear Sir/Madam, In response to your emails dated 3 February and 18 March regarding the 2020 Wokingham Borough Local Plan Update consultation, please find below ONR’s response, which is provided in line with our Land Use Planning policy published here http://www.onr.org.uk/land-use-planning.htm. Since ONR responded to the previous draft Local Plan Update consultation on 21 January 2019 (see email below) the proposed development locations included in the draft local plan have significantly changed. Additionally, the Detailed Emergency Planning Zone (DEPZ) for the AWE Burghfield site has been re-determined by West Berkshire District Council under the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations (REPPIR) 2019 resulting in a larger DEPZ. ONR’s current position remains that we would be likely to object to: • developments within the DEPZ, unless the West Berkshire District Council emergency planner provides adequate assurance to ONR that any adverse impact on the operability and viability of the off-site emergency plan could be mitigated. • large scale developments within the circular 5km Outer Consultation Zone (OCZ), which extends beyond the DEPZ from grid reference SU684680, unless the West Berkshire District Council emergency planner provides adequate assurance to ONR that any adverse impact on the operability and viability of the off-site emergency plan could be mitigated. ONR has previously responded regarding the two development locations below which are included in both the 2018/19 Local Plan Update consultation and the 2020 Local Plan Update consultation: 1.

  • Tree Watch Issue 39 November 2018
    Wokingham District Veteran Tree Association Tree Watch Issue 39 November 2018 On 20th November, we had 7,582 trees in our database and 10,902 photographs Welcome to the latest issue of Tree Watch. I hope you all had an enjoyable summer. The recent weather has not been particularly conducive to surveying, but these dark evenings mean we can make plans for our surveys in the spring. If you haven’t done any tree surveying yet, but think you might like to get involved please let us know. We would like to recruit some more people to help us complete our veteran tree survey. If you don’t want to survey, perhaps you have some ideas for new projects we could initiate. On page 10 Linda Martin tells us about a yew forest in Sussex. Nearer to us is the Ankerwycke yew. Join us in January to see this iconic tree and learn about it from Toby Hindson from the Ancient Yew Forum (see events details). In 2015, the National Trust planned to put a board walk around the tree to prevent root compaction. The photos here were taken five years ago and it will be interesting to see what the site looks like now. As I was putting the final touches to this issue, I listened to an episode of the BBC radio 4 programme “Open Country” about ash trees (20th November). See recommended websites on page 13 for the link if you’d like to listen to it (just ignore the bit about the invention of the wheel).

  • Wokingham District Council Election Results 1997-2012
    Wokingham District Council Election Results 1997-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

  • Wokingham Borough Council Year Book
    WOKINGHAM BOROUGH COUNCIL YEAR BOOK 2018 / 2019 WOKINGHAM BOROUGH COUNCIL COAT OF ARMS Interpretation of the Arms The shield combines the principal topographical and historical features of the Borough. The main surface of the shield indicates the former, while the latter are represented in the top portion or "chief". Three white waves and two green ones, each resembling an initial W, suggest the undulating farmlands and rich woodlands enclosed by the Thames, Loddon and Blackwater rivers. The royal stag's head, similar to that in the arms of Windsor and that of the complete stag in the arms of Berkshire and Wokingham, refers to the situation of large parts of the Borough in the ancient Royal Forest of Windsor. In the chief, the pastoral staves refer to the Sees of Winchester and Salisbury, the former held the whole of the Hundred of Wargrave and the Bishop of Salisbury had a Palace at Sonning. The mitre refers to the mitred Abbey of Abingdon which has links with the Borough over a thousand years old, and to the ancient Saxon bishopric said to have existed at Sonning. The background is red, as is the upper part of the arms of Reading University, whose site is within the area at Earley. Above the shield is the closed helm proper to civic arms, with its decorative mantling or tournament cloak in the basic colour of the shield, green and white. Upon the helm stands the crest, the base of which is the special type designed for Rural Borough Councils and consisting of wheatears and acorns alternately, representing agriculture and natural beauty.

  • Remenham, Berkshire
    Remenham, Berkshire The parish of Remenham contains several hamlets and estates. The principal areas are Remenham, Aston, Remenham Hill, The Marsh and Marsh Lock. A.G. Taylor, Assendon e-Museum 2010 My personal interest in Remenham stems from the facts that I was baptised in Remenham church My father’s ancestors lived in Remenham from about 1850 to 1915 Remenham The name Remenham probably comes from the old English words reoma and ham and probably means a homestead or an enclosure by the riverbank. Remenham village is a small collection of buildings, principally St. Nicholas’ church and rectory, a village hall, Remenham Farm, the site of the former manor house and the former school. Parts of the moat of the original manor house remain. Sir Edmund Montfort owned it in the reigns of Edward IV and Richard III. A lane from the church provides public access to the river. Remenham church dates back to the 13th century. The only remaining part of the church from this time is the east window from about 1320. One window in the nave is restored from the 14th century and the tower dates back to the 15th century. However the building underwent a complete modernisation in 1870, at a cost of £700, and a sacristy and vestry were added in 1892, costing £450. The lych gate was built in memory of Violet Noble, youngest daughter of John Noble of Park Place, in 1868.
