Aims and Scope Background 1.1 Oxfordshire’s draft Minerals and Waste Core Strategy was published for public consultation in September 2011. A concern was identified in the responses made by the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and North Wessex Downs AONB. This related to potential landscape impacts on the Protected Landscapes of minerals developments within two proposed broad areas for sand and gravel working at Cholsey and Caversham. This study identifies the nature of these impacts, and potential mitigation measures which could help reduce the impacts. 1.2 The impacts identified will refer both to the operational phase of any development, and restoration phases. Recommendations may help to identify potential restoration priorities, and mitigation measures. Aims 1.3 The aim of the study is to carry out an assessment of the potential landscape impacts of minerals development within two proposed areas for mineral working on the setting of Oxfordshire’s AONBs. -

Land at Winterbrook, Wallingford, Oxfordshire An Archaeological Evaluation for Berkeley Homes (Oxford and Chiltern) Ltd by James Lewis Thames Valley Archaeological Services Ltd Site Code WWO09/57 October 2009 Summary Site name: Land at Winterbrook, Wallingford, Oxfordshire Grid reference: SU6010 8840 Site activity: Field Evaluation Date and duration of project: 25th August – 10th October 2009 Project manager: Steve Ford Site supervisor: James Lewis Site code: WWO09/57 Area of site: 24 ha Summary of results: Evaluation trenching confirmed the presence of a number of archaeological features (some already identified from geophysical survey and aerial photographs) and showed that these span several phases of activity, but with an appreciable density only in the early Iron Age. The remains encountered may be considered typical of this part of the Thames Valley. Some zones within the site appeared to be of lower potential. Areas of high archaeological potential have already been excluded from the development area by design.

South Oxfordshire District Council – New Warding Arrangements
Council report Report of Chief Executive Author: David Buckle Telephone: E-mail: To: Council DATE: 30 August 2012 South Oxfordshire District Council – New Warding Arrangements Recommendation That Council agrees the submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England attached as Appendix A to this report Purpose of Report 1. This report invites Council to agree a submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission (LGBCE) for England on warding arrangements as it reduces in size from 48 to 36 members. Background 2. In March of this year the LGBCE commenced an electoral review at our request. In June it announced that it was minded to recommend (ultimately, parliament takes the decision) a council size of 36. This was the number that Council agreed to propose at it meeting in February. 3. The next stage of the review is to develop warding proposals. At this time the LGBCE has published nothing so we have a blank canvass on which to make proposals. However, the number of councillors we put forward must add up to 36 (or conceivably 35 or 37 if there are particular reasons justifying such a variation) and best comply with the three criteria that govern electoral reviews, all of which carry equal weight. These are: • to deliver electoral equality for voters • to provide boundaries that reflect natural communities • to provide effective and convenient local government 4. In November the LGBCE will publish its draft warding proposals and council will have an opportunity to decide its formal response to these at a meeting next X:\Committee Documents\2012-2013 Cycle (2) Aug-Oct\Council_300812\Council_300812_Warding arrangements 1 report.doc January. -
Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet
Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet Introduction Oxfordshire County Council has a legal duty to coordinate road works across the county, including those undertaken by utility companies. As part of this duty we can designate certain streets as ‘traffic-sensitive’, which means on these roads we can better regulate the flow of traffic by managing when works happen. For example, no road works in the centre of Henley-on-Thames during the Regatta. Sensitive streets designation is not aimed at prohibiting or limiting options for necessary road works to be undertaken. Instead it is designed to open-up necessary discussions with relevant parties to decide when would be the best time to carry out works. Criteria For a street to be considered as traffic sensitive it must meet at least one of the following criteria as set out in the table below: Traffic sensitive street criteria A The street is one on which at any time, the county council estimates traffic flow to be greater than 500 vehicles per hour per lane of carriageway, excluding bus or cycle lanes B The street is a single carriageway two-way road, the carriageway of which is less than 6.5 metres wide, having a total traffic flow of not less than 600 vehicles per hour C The street falls within a congestion charges area D Traffic flow contains more than 25% heavy commercial vehicles E The street carries in both directions more than eight buses per hour F The street is designated for pre-salting by the county council as part of its programme of winter maintenance G The street is within 100 metres of a critical signalised junction, gyratory or roundabout system H The street, or that part of a street, has a pedestrian flow rate at any time of at least 1300 persons per hour per metre width of footway I The street is on a tourist route or within an area where international, national, or significant major local events take place. -

VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Newnham Murren (May 2017) • © Univ. of London • Intro. • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress NEWNHAM MURREN Introduction Newnham Farm photographed from Watery Lane. The former manor house and parochial chapel lie isolated from the village ½ mile to the north. Until its incorporation into Crowmarsh in 1932 the ancient parish of Newnham Murren stretched for 9.5 km from the river Thames in the west to the Chiltern hills in the east, traversing the whole width of Langtree hundred, and covering 1,852 acres.1 Settlement was scattered, but mostly concentrated in the village by Wallingford bridge; the parish boundary there ran along the village street, separating houses belonging to Newnham (on the street’s south side) from those of Crowmarsh Gifford on the north. Despite that division, for most practical purposes the village formed a single community with a shared identity, shaped by (but largely distinct from) the neighbouring town of Wallingford.2 By contrast Inhabitants of the parish’s upland hamlets and farmsteads forged links with neighbouring Chiltern communities such as Nuffield and Stoke Row, a division formalized in the Middle Ages by the creation of separate tithing groups for the parish’s householders on either side of the Chiltern scarp.3 The suffix Murren, recalling Newnham’s 12th- and early 13th-century lords, was added to the place name during the Middle Ages, distinguishing it from Nuneham Courtenay. Earlier, Newnham was sometimes identified by its proximity to Crowmarsh or Wallingford.4 Until the 20th century the parish was a chapelry of North Stoke 2.5 km to the south. -

The Medieval Rural Landscape, C AD 1000–1500 by James Bond
THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000–2000 The Medieval Rural Landscape AD 1000–1500 THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000-2000 The medieval rural landscape, c AD 1000–1500 by James Bond INTRODUCTION The study of the medieval rural landscape entails a long history of research. The late 19th and early 20th century saw several pioneering works by historians who aimed to shift the spotlight from matters of political and religious history towards a better understanding of the countryside (eg Seebohm 1883; Vinogradoff 1892; Maitland 1897). The work of Gray (1915) built on these early studies by emphasising the considerable evidence of regional variation in landscape character. By the 1950s, interest in the medieval rural landscape, and particularly of the medieval village, was accelerating, with research by Beresford (1954) and W G Hoskins (1955) amongst the most prominent. The emerging knowledge base was now becoming founded on archaeological research and this was increasingly complemented by architectural (eg Long 1938–1941; Faulkner 1958; Currie 1992) and place/field-name studies (Gelling 1954; 1976; Bond 1982; Faith 1998) which added further detail and context to understanding of medieval settlements. Broader appreciation of the wider landscape, in terms of how it was used, organised and perceived by its medieval inhabitants have also been examined from the perspective of the elite (eg Creighton 2009; Langton 2010) and increasingly from the point of view of the peasant (eg Faith 1997; Dyer 2014). -
