  • Magazine 2012 EDITORIAL
    Magazine 2012 EDITORIAL This past year has been no exception to the busyness and talent filled years of St Helens. When starting out with the challenge of creating this magazine, we wanted to capture the enthusiasm, vibrancy and passion of this year, including also our support for the “Because I am a girl” campaign, so focusing particularly on the “power” of the girl. Our vision for this year’s magazine was to incorporate every aspect of school life and combine these strands in a way that would reflect the character of the school, and the girls and staff that make it. We felt very strongly that every girl, who wished to be, should be included, in order that this would be a personal reflection, for everyone, of 2012. So we have included whole year pages, in order that all girls are featured and also have a say in how their year is represented. We have had not only the editorial team, but representatives from every form, designing the layouts and forming the content of these pages, so that there would be a genuine student feel to the magazine. We are conscious, also, of retaining the balance between reflecting the present moment in time and styles of today, yet also moulding something that will withstand the test of time. Despite work being temporarily lost, the school network shutting down, creating a larger more complex magazine in a much shorter time period, the team has risen to these challenges in true St Helens spirit. But none of this would have been possible without the smiles, support and guidance of Mr Drew - we thank you for everything you have helped and encouraged us to achieve.

    Ashbury Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018-2031 A report to Vale of White Horse District Council on the Ashbury Neighbourhood Development Plan Andrew Ashcroft Independent Examiner BA (Hons) MA, DMS, MRTPI Director – Andrew Ashcroft Planning Limited Executive Summary 1 I was appointed by Vale of White Horse District Council in February 2019 to carry out the independent examination of the Ashbury Neighbourhood Plan. 2 The examination was undertaken by written representations. I visited the neighbourhood plan area on 11 March 2019. 3 The Plan includes a range of policies and seeks to bring forward positive and sustainable development in the neighbourhood area. There is a very clear focus on safeguarding local character and designating local green spaces. It also includes policies to manage future residential growth. The Plan is very-well written and presented. It is also distinctive to the neighbourhood area. 4 The Plan has been significantly underpinned by community support and engagement. It is clear that all sections of the community have been actively engaged in its preparation. 5 Subject to a series of recommended modifications set out in this report I have concluded that the Ashbury Neighbourhood Plan meets all the necessary legal requirements and should proceed to referendum. 6 I recommend that the referendum should be held within the neighbourhood area. Andrew Ashcroft Independent Examiner 26 April 2019 1 1 Introduction 1.1 This report sets out the findings of the independent examination of the Ashbury Neighbourhood Plan 2018-2031 (the Plan). 1.2 The Plan has been submitted to Vale of White Horse District Council (VWHDC) by Ashbury Parish Council in its capacity as the qualifying body responsible for preparing the neighbourhood plan.

  • Botley Character Statement West Way Community Concern
    Botley Character Statement West Way Community Concern 1 Contents A. Introduction to the Botley Character Statement C. Headline Findings D. Location, Context and Layout E. Historical Development F. Character Areas 1. West Way 2. Old Botley 3. Seacourt 4. Westminster Way 5. Arthray Road 6. Cumnor Rise 7. North of West Way 8. Dean Court G. Sources Appendix A. Methodology 2 Section A. Introduction to the Botley Character Statement Local residents and businesses in Botley have joined together to prepare this character statement as a result of concern that new development should respond positively to the area’s established positive character. Local and national planning policies require proposals for new development to take local character into account and respond positively to it in the design of new buildings and spaces and their use. However, defining what the positive features of local character are that should be sustained and what negative feature should be managed out through development is a fundamental stage in this design process and requires assessment, analysis and establishment of consensus. Character assessments are now being undertaken by various community groups, as well as local planning authorities to establish this consensus about what is valued in the character of local areas and neighbourhoods to inform planning for change. To support local communities in undertaking their own assessment of character a number of toolkits have been prepared with the assistance of CABE and English Heritage. These are a recognised means for community groups to prepare character assessments that are sufficiently robust and reliable to be informative for planning decisions.
