    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.

  • Submission to WBC's LCWIP Consultation
    ETC Submission to Wokingham Borough Council’s LCWIP Consultation Introduction Wokingham Borough Council (WBC) are developing a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) as part of the ongoing Local Transport Plan (LTP4) and Local Plan Update (LPU) This is Earley Town Council’s response to the consultation Overview The structure of the consultation is divided into three parts, which this response follows:- 1. Cycle demand Identify key cycling routes connecting places within Earley, and neighbouring places 2. Walking Zones Identify key walking zones within Earley and on its borders 3. Liveable Neighbourhoods Identify key features that are desirable to create a liveable neighbourhood with respect to walking and cycling Cycle Demand Introduction Routes around Earley have been constrained by the presence of two motorways and major railway lines. These have created barriers with few crossings at which all traffic, cars, bicycles and pedestrians compete for space. They have also removed routes that previously existed. Cycle Routes connecting Earley Map 1 Maiden Erlegh to North Earley Description The neigbouring Earley wards of Whitegates and Maiden Erlegh are connected by a single bridge over the A329(M) motorway on the B3350 Church Road. Church Road is a narrow, busy road with a 30mph speed limit, which acts as an unofficial eastern ring road for Reading There is no provision for cycling on Church Road Overview Before the motorway was built, Mays Lane and Anderson Avenue met directly at a crossroads with Church Lane. This quiet route has been lost. Possible improvements • Where Mays Lane now meets Church Road, remove the steel barriers and provide a dropped kerb, so that cyclists can transition onto Mays Lane.

Although our school achieves excellent results and enjoys a very positive reputation, we still suffer from term time holiday absences; last year despite a high overall attendance rate, 349 pupil days were lost this way. It is easy to underestimate the impact of a few days away from school. A 90% attendance rate over a child 's time at school (about 4 weeks' absence each year) would mean that by the end of Year 11 the equivalent of over half a school year will have been missed. There is also much statistical evidence showing the detrimental effect absences can have on test and examination results. On average 17 absences during a school year results in one less grade for a GCSE . Data shows that about 70% of pupils with an average of over 12 days absence per year, fail to achieve 5 A* - C or better. Attendance: there has been a change of law that now means that it is illegal for any student to be absent for a holiday in term time. There is no longer any entitlement to absence for this purpose except in extreme circumstances and I ask all parents to be aware of this and to work with us to ensure high attendance at school.

Let’s hope we have an Indian summer, with extended opportunities to get out and about and enjoy Charvil.

Inside this issue we have an update on the various improvement and maintenance activities regarding some of our village amenities such as the EPF football pitches and tennis courts. As always, this issue includes lots of useful information regarding village events and the activities of many Charvil-based groups, societies and charities. Please do continue to share your thoughts and highlight your issues and concerns by contacting the CPC team using e-mail or www.charvil.com (which also has news and information about our council, facilities and village life), as well as following us on Facebook and Twitter.
