  • 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.

  • Oakbank Author: Department for Education (Dfe)
    Title: Oakbank Author: Department for Education (DfE) Impact Assessment – Section 9 Academies Act Duty 1. Section 9 of the Academies Act 2010 places a duty upon the Secretary of State to take into account what the impact of establishing the additional school would be likely to be on maintained schools, Academies and institutions within the further education sector in the area in which the additional school is (or is proposed to be) situated. 2. Any adverse impact will need to be balanced against the benefits of establishing the new school. Background 3. Oakbank is an 11-16 school for 560 pupils, due to open in September 2012 with 84 pupils in Year 7. It was proposed by existing Academy sponsor CfBT in partnership with a parent group known locally as WoW (standing for west of Wokingham). The group feel that those living in the rural villages to the West of Wokingham are disadvantaged in securing a school place for their children as a result of the admissions arrangements for other schools in Wokingham which prioritise children living closest to schools. They feel that this means that they get “what’s left”, and have to travel long distances past their closest school. It was envisaged that establishing Oakbank would provide a school closer to home to which these children would be admitted. 4. Oakbank will be situated on the site of the old Ryeish Green School in Wokingham Borough. It is, however, closer to Reading than it is to the town of Wokingham, although the M4 separates the school from the south of Reading.
