    ARBORFIELD AND NEWLAND PARISH COUNCIL WRITTEN REPRESENTATION HIGHWAYS ENGLAND'S RESPONSE APPLICATION BY THE HIGHWAY (NOW HIGHWAYS ENGLAND) FOR AN ORDER GRANTING DEVELOPMENT CONSENT FOR THE PROPOSED M4 JUNCTIONS 3 TO 12 SMART MOTORWAY 1.1 I am writing to you to seek some assurance on a matter that we raised in our original Statement of Reason, submitted in July. 1.2 One of the issues of concern to the Council was that of reflected noise from new noise barriers that might be incorporated into the scheme. Specifically, we were aware that Earley Town Council was seeking new noise barriers on the northern side of the scheme between junctions 10 and 11. 1.3 We were heartened by the publication of the Statement of Common Ground (SOCG) between Earley Town Council and Highways England, in which the Town Council accepted that there would be no significant adverse noise impact from the scheme. The SOCG also, most helpfully, confirmed what is shown on the proposal maps: that the only new noise barriers proposed in or close to the parish of Arborfield and Newland are two short lengths across Mill Lane underbridge. We were not, therefore proposing to trouble the Examining Authority further. 1.4 However it has come to light that individual Councillors from Early may still wish to appear at the Examination and press for additional noise barrier. This is a matter of great concern to our residents living with in the noise envelope of the M4 motorway, and they have asked us to intervene on their behalf. 1.5 Rather than generate further work for the Council,

The attractive landscape comprising farmland and woodland is punctuated with small settlements, hamlets and individual dwellings. Together these settlements form the vibrant modern community of Arborfield with many active societies and activities focused on a small number of centres. With a long history, the area has a variety of architectural styles introduced over the ages. Houses in Arborfield & Newland tend to sit in small, cohesive groups in terms of their style and there are some common characteristics that define the area: • Low density housing with ample outside space • Properties set back from the roads • No more than two stories • Extensive use of local red brick amongst older properties • Development merged into natural green spaces Among these cohesive groups are more modern developments, built from the 1950s (Anderson and Emblem Crescent) through to the mid-2000s, which have higher density and less variety in design. Arborfield consists of a number of settlements that evolved over time.

    Wokingham District Veteran Tree Association Tree Watch Issue 225555 May 2015 On 27th May we had 7163 trees in our database and 9470 photographs Welcome to the twenty-fifth issue of Tree Watch – in which I have both good news and bad news to report. After a very successful and well attended AGM (see page 2), we had the devastating news that the iconic black mulberry in Elms Road, Wokingham had been felled (see page 7). Then more good news. We received a cheque for £430 from the green token scheme at Waitrose. This is not only very welcome, but also very timely as it will fund our website renewal (due in August). In the last issue we wondered whether the 4 row lime avenue in Barkham (shown here) was unique. See page 3. The next issue of Tree Watch will be August 2015 and the copy deadline is 31st July.
