This Scheme is part of the Government’s Roads Investment Strategy (RIS), which will ensure key corridors of the strategic road network can be upgraded and delivered in a way which minimises disruption and keeps road users moving. The preferred route announcement for the Scheme was made on 29 November 2017. This followed a 9-week consultation (between 5 December 2016 and 6 February 2017) on two proposed options, Option 9 and Option 14. The public were also asked to consider whether Highways England had taken the right decision to reject a further option, Option 16. The consultation found an overall preference for Option 9. This consultation was not a statutory consultation under the Act. The Scheme has since evolved. Although there was strong support for Option 9, there were a number of significant concerns about its environmental impact. As such, a design solution was developed (based on Option 14) that meets the Scheme transport and safety objectives, but with significantly less environmental impact than Option 9. This was the Scheme presented in the preferred route announcement. Design changes enabled the elongated roundabout to improve safety by removing the need for traffic lights on the left turn slip roads. The Scheme also provided improved crossing points for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders on dedicated bridges, separated from the traffic, minimising the risk of collisions. In addition, side road options and land requirements were further defined. In October 2017 the Government announced the results of its review of the RIS to ensure key corridors of the network can be delivered in a way to minimise disruption and keep road users moving. As a result, this Scheme must also incorporate works to increase the number of lanes running through M25 junction 10, by utilising the hard shoulder (this Scheme is known as the M25 junction 10 to junction 16 smart motorway Project). Consultation requirements The Planning Act 2008 (the Act) ,Part 5 Chapter 2 Pre-application Procedure lays out a number of consultation requirements for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs), including the duty to consult with the local community, statutory consultees, landowners, local authorities and other non-statutory consultees on the proposed development. Section 49 of the Act requires the Applicant to have regard to responses received as a result of statutory consultation. Section 37(3)(c) requires that an application for a Planning Inspectorate Scheme reference: TR010030 Application document reference: TR010030/APP/5.1 (Vol 5) Rev 0 Page 3 of 295 M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange TR010030 5.1 Consultation Report Main report Development Consent Order (DCO) must be accompanied by a consultation report. Section 50 of the Act requires the applicant to have regard to any guidance issued by the Secretary of State about pre-application procedure. Guidance is provided by the Planning Inspectorate’s Advice note 14: Compiling the consultation report (April 2012), and Department for Communities and Local Government’s (MHCLG) Pre-application process guidance (March 2015) (“MHCLG guidance”). Programme of engagement and consultation From the start of pre-application stage in April 2016, the Applicant undertook a 22-month programme of non-statutory engagement, including the non-statutory consultation and preferred route announcement (November 2017). This programme was designed to meet the needs of people and groups with either technical or non-technical knowledge, as well as those with or without experience of the planning process. The statutory consultation took place between 12 February and 26 March 2018 for Section 42, 47 and 48 consultees and one period in 16 March and 19 April 2018 for eight additional land interests. A further period of targeted consultation was undertaken between 14 November and 14 December 2018, followed by a second additional targeted consultation from 3 April to 3 May 2019. Table E. 1: Summary of Consultation Activities Non-Statutory Consultation – 2017 Consultation Activity Undertaken: Date: Meetings with statutory and non-statutory April 2016 to November 2017 stakeholders Non-statutory public consultation 5 December 2016 to 6 February 2017 Preferred Route Announcement 29 November 2017 Statutory Consultation – 2018 Date: Meetings with statutory stakeholders and December 2018 to February 2018 landowners Statutory public consultation 12 February 2018 to 26 March 2018 Meetings and ongoing engagement with March 2018 to May 2019 statutory stakeholders and landowners Non-statutory consultation 2018 & Date: 2019 Targeted consultation 14 November to 14 December 2018 Additional targeted consultation 3 April to 3 May 2019 Statement of Community Consultation As required under Section 47 of the Act, the Applicant drafted a Statement of Community Consultation (SoCC) setting out how formal consultation would be carried out with the local community, residents, businesses and visitors in the Scheme’s vicinity. Planning Inspectorate Scheme reference: TR010030 Application document reference: TR010030/APP/5.1 (Vol 5) Rev 0 Page 4 of 295 M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange TR010030 5.1 Consultation Report Main report Elmbridge Borough Council, Guildford Borough Council and Surrey County Council were consulted on the draft SoCC in December 2017 and January 2018. Highways England also provided the Inspectorate with a draft copy. Highways England carefully considered the comments received from Elmbridge Borough Council, Guildford Borough Council and Surrey County Council in response to the draft SoCC and where applicable incorporated their recommendations. These comments are available in Chapter 5. The Inspectorate advised of no changes required to the SoCC. The revised final SoCC was published on the Highways England website in full and an advert notification advising the community of the SoCC was published in the local press in compliance with Section 47(6) of the Act. Consultation with statutory consultees (Section 42) Section 42 of the Act requires the applicant to consult with the prescribed consultees (Section 42 (1)(a)), landowners, those with an interest in the land and those who would or might be entitled to make a relevant claim under Section (42 (1)(d)) and relevant local authorities (Section 42 (1)(b)). Highways England undertook formal, statutory, consultation with the Section 42 consultees for a period of 6 weeks from 12 February 2018 to 26 March 2018. Highways England received a total of 18 responses to the Section 42 consultation from Prescribed Bodies. An additional four-week consultation was conducted under Section 42 of the Act, between 16 March 2018 and 19 April 2018. This related specifically to new land interests related to the Red Line Boundary following identification of additional parties with land interests resulting from further title investigation work. A period of targeted consultation was undertaken between 14 November 2018 and 14 December 2018. The statutory element of consultation was targeted towards affected landowners under Section 44 of the Act, and Prescribed Bodies under Section 42(1)(a) of the Act whose role, duties or responsibilities, or area of interest could be affected as a result of the Scheme design changes – either where new land parcels came within the revised Red Line Boundary or where previously identified land take requirements changed. The non-statutory activity applied to those parties whose land now falls outside the Red Line Boundary altogether as a result of Scheme design changes. Statutory undertakers, prescribed under Section 42 (1)(a) of the Act who are responsible for services, equipment or apparatus likely to be affected by any of the design changes, were also informed of the consultation

  • Research Guide No 22: London Buses in World War I
    TfL Corporate Archives Research Guides Research Guide No 22: London Buses in World War I Within a few weeks of the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, over 300 buses and their crews had been requisitioned by the government and were being used in France and Belgium for troop movements. Some are known to have travelled as far as Egypt. Although the military was still very much geared to the horse, the need for mechanical transport was realised by the authorities as early as 1912. In total some 1,300 London General Omnibus Company (LGOC or “General”) double- deckers, mainly B-types, and other buses, e.g. Daimlers of the Tramways (M.E.T.) Omnibus Co, were sent abroad and proved extremely reliable in these unusual conditions. Single-deckers were requisitioned for Admiralty medical service. Some 2,500 LGOC drivers and conductors heeded the call during the first few months of the war, many having been in the ‘special transport reserve’. Around 9,500 busmen in total went to the battlefields, some also being involved with driving other vehicles on war service. File LT000105/008 contains a war service register of LGOC busmen and ancillary staff. Initially the buses remained in London livery but were later painted in khaki or green. The glass windows were prone to breakage by the men’s rifles and packs and were later removed, being replaced with wooden planks. A B-type could carry 24 fully- equipped infantrymen and their kit and performed remarkably well, considering they were operating in areas for which they were not originally intended.

  • Newsletter-Spring-2016.Pdf
    Spring 2016 Hon. Patron – Michael Aspel OBE An Evening To Remember By Haley Jenkins On the 13th February, the Weybridge Society hosted its annual Helper’s Party, where the many volunteers, long standing members and us relatively new people can talk, relax and reminisce! It took place in the lovely Weybridge Centre, complete with Valentine love heart fairy lights and a little book stall by the comfy sofas. Chairman Dave Arnold says “For many years the Society has held this annual event in appreciation of the hard work that helpers make to the Society; it enables all to catch up with friends in an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere. I was pleased to see so many attended this year”. Members and guests brought the food, which added up to a spoilt-for-choice banquet lovingly set out by Anne Lindsey and Margaret Wicks, who worked tirelessly in the kitchen making sure the standards were kept up and that everyone could just tuck in, many thanks to them, their hard work didn’t go unnoticed! This was my first Helper’s Party event and I admit I was nervous, as many of the members have known each other for years, even decades, and I ashamedly am only just reaching my first year as a member and editor. I was immediately put at ease by several welcoming members and got to meet many new faces that evening. As editor I’m always looking for story suggestions and thanks to the lovely eager crowd who went that night, I now have plenty! Photography by Mike Buhagiar Dave Arnold gave a speech, which charted the progress that had been made within the Society this year, including our plans for Charity AGM Status.

  • Friends of Classic London Buses of the Fifties for Those Actively Involved in Or Supporting the Preservation of London Buses, Coaches and Trolleybuses of the Past
    Friends of Classic London Buses of the Fifties For those actively involved in or supporting the preservation of London buses, coaches and trolleybuses of the past With the recent publication of Capital Transport's book on the GS class reviewed in the previous Newsletter, I thought we could open with Martyn Hunt's photograph of GS 27 laying over at the rear of Harlow Garage in 1963, his only photograph of a GS in service. This one in later life spent a period as a mobile shop in Hemel Hempstead and we illustrated it in that role in an earlier Newsletter. It was not one of the survivors of this popular class, alas. Newsletter 163 March 2020 Opening Lines As referred to briefly last time, we now welcome many more readers in the shape of London Bus Museum members who have told the Museum their e-mail addresses. For the benefit of those members I thought perhaps I should outline who we are and what we aim to do. The “Friends” is successor to the former RT and RF Register, started by Peter Gomm back in 1982 as an owners' club for those vehicles and their contemporaries. In those days much less was known about the vehicles, and preservation, although not new, was still in its relative infancy so there was a need for us all to help each other out with advice, information, sources of parts, ways to overcome problems and so on. We also provided histories of vehicles for those who did not know the life story of their buses.

  • Heathrow Community Noise and Track-Keeping Report: Burhill
    Heathrow Community Noise and Track-keeping Report: Burhill This document reports on an 100-day period of continuous noise monitoring from 14 June 2011 to 21 September 2011 using a Larson Davies LD 870 sound monitor placed at the ‘Burhill’ site (positioned at 51° 21′ 9.01" N, 0° 24′ 54.37" W, 56 feet elevation). All timings are local. Background Heathrow Airport is committed to limiting the impacts of noise on communities around the airport and publishes a Noise Action Plan in accordance with National and European Regulations. An objective of the plan is to better understand local noise concerns and priorities by establishing a Community Noise and Track Monitoring Programme. As part of this Programme, the Airport has agreed with local stakeholders represented on the Noise and Track Keeping Working Group (NTKWG), that flight tracks and (where possible) noise levels affecting local communities would be examined through a series of 3-4 month studies. The studies are organised so that the noise and flight tracks are analysed over the monitoring period based on a ‘grid’ of local communities, defined and agreed with NTKWG and shown below in Figure 1. The impact on the community within the grid square is then reported at the end of the monitoring period. Figure 1. Map of the Heathrow area with noise monitoring grid; position of the noise monitor shown as a blue dot in the centre of the blue shaded grid (the Burhill community grid square area) This report describes the noise levels and aircraft tracks affecting the Burhill grid square, shown above.

  • Shipwrights Way
    The Steep section of The Shipwrights Way. Many of our readers will be aware that the ‘Shipwrights Way’, a long distance route from Alice Holt near Farnham to Portsmouth, most of which opened earlier this year, runs through our Parish for about 1.5 of its 50 miles. Some of you may have walked all or part of it already, but for those who have not, here is a brief summary about ‘our’ section. There are small blue signs along the route but they are not always that obvious depending on which direction you are walking. Starting from the northern (Liss) end, the main path enters the Parish at the bridge over the River Rother just to the east of the railway on Stodham Lane. A new bridge for cyclists and walkers has been erected to avoid the danger of the old ‘kissing gates’. There have been a few complaints from cyclists that the bridge is very difficult to negotiate and indeed my wife and I found it very hard both to push bikes up the ‘cycle gutter’ as well as down the other side. Once across the railway the route follows Tankerdale Lane westwards past Petersfield Golf Course and up to the main A3 road where you turn left. If you don’t wish to negotiate the railway bridge there is an alternative route from Liss via Andlers Ash Road to the level crossing there, after which you follow the road past Hilliers to the A3. This is a section where you have to walk alongside the road on the cycle path but then you drop down to join Steep Marsh Lane near Burnt Ash cottages.
