RICHARD AND DOREEN WAITE, P KING, DENIS AND GILL WAKELY, NIGEL KITCHINGHAM, LORRAINE WALKER, G LAMB, NICK WALL, GERRY LANG, GRAEME WHEELER, BOB LAWSON, IAN WILSON, MARGARET From: Lorna Andrew To: Planning Policy Subject: Reading Borough Local Plan - Comments on Reading Golf Club site Date: 29 October 2018 14:54:14 This is an EXTERNAL EMAIL. STOP. THINK before you CLICK links or OPEN attachments. Dear Sirs, I am strongly against the inclusion of site CA1b being included in the Reading Local Plan. I don’t believe CA1b can be delivered with its current wording as Reading Golf Club (RGC) do not wish to keep the club as a going concern. This is their choice, however the development of the CA1b site was only included in the Local Plan under the condition, clearly supported by the wording, that the RGC would continue in this location. Things have moved on and we are now faced with the development of the whole course and an estimate of 700 houses. The development of the RGC land is of such major importance to the area it is inappropriate at best to allow a piecemeal approach to gaining planning approval. CA1b should be removed from the plan and then RGC are free to consider and submit plans that can be properly considered and justified or otherwise. RGC & Wates are manipulating the process and trying to make an acceptable case to change conditions placed on a site to allow for their long term, major development plans. I might add, motivated by huge gains in land value which will be distributed to members, rather than the need for 700 new homes in the area. The reasons that limited development opportunities exist in North Reading have been well researched and documented in both the Reading Borough Council (RBC) Local Plan and elsewhere. Not least in the representations made to authorities by a very concerned community. To ignore these factors would be irresponsible and unjustified. It is not acceptable to suggest the land should be built on just because RGC is not a going concern or otherwise. Or that this should preclude compliance with conditions or wording’ issued by the planning authorities. Totally irrelevant. The community is reeling from the speed of change and their apparent impotence to influence something that will affect their area and lives in such a significant way. I beg the Inspector and RBC to remove CA1b from the Local Plan. This will give time to enable a more sensible approach to what happens to the RGC and what the impact will be. Surely this is the most sensible and justifiable action available to you given the circumstances? The following points have been identified by a local community group and I wholeheartedly agree and back each one of them: · Reading Golf Club failed to follow the guidelines to make a representation at the hearing and their submission should be ignored. · Reading Golf Club have confirmed that they are unable to comply with the conditions of policy CA1b as they have been unable to secure alternative land to replace that lost in the proposed development. For this reason CA1b should be removed from the Local Plan. · The alternative proposal submitted by Reading Golf Club is in respect of an area greater than that identified in CA1b (see appendix 2) and should therefore be rejected as it has not been scrutinized by Reading Borough Council to establish its acceptability. · The 83 page document provides a “new plan” for CA1b. This is significantly different and larger than the original plan submitted. Boundaries are extended to the north and south which if allowed would ‘grant’ development on a 15% greater land area than originally submitted. Although not stated this would of course enable a 15% increase in the number of houses. So we would, by stealth, go from 90 - 130 houses to 103 - 150 houses. · The alternative proposal submitted by Reading Golf Club does not require the provision of replacement holes for those lost to development and, in view of the agreed policy of Reading Golf Club to develop the whole of the land it owns, it should be rejected so that proper consideration of the development of the whole of the course can be made when a formal planning application is made. · Section 1.3 of the Reading Golf Club submission states that ’on-site facilities should be provided to mitigate impacts on community infrastructure, for instance healthcare,…’ However the following section which states what the development should include carefully ignores healthcare which is of major concern given the substantial increase in demand which a new development would create. In any event, staffing a new healthcare facility would prove difficult given the current shortage of suitably qualified staff. · The Site area stated at the end of paragraph 1.3 does not include the additional area shown on the map in appendix 2 and is therefore factually inaccurate. · The original submission stated that a replacement clubhouse would be built in the area identified in CA1b however, Section 2.13 of the Reading Golf Club submission identifies land for a replacement clubhouse and a much larger car park in SODC area accessed via Tanners Lane. The section of Kidmore End Road leading to Tanners Lane is a narrow country road which could not cope with the increased volume of traffic accessing the clubhouse. For that reason the revised submission should be rejected. Were the revised CA1b to be incorporated into the Local Plan then it should be conditional on planning permission being obtained from SODC and an undertaking that the new clubhouse and car park would be built before development of the site is permitted to start. · Inclusion of a revised CA1b in the Local Plan will be interpreted as support for a planning application and will simply facilitate WATES moving ahead with their Masterplan for 700 houses with a modified CA1b being the first step in what will be a piecemeal development of small sections of the land a bit at a time. · No-one else was extended the opportunity to make last minute representation at the Inspection hearing. Late’ written submissions’ were not placed in full before the Inspector, only a composite summary of them! · The actual Inspection process has discriminated against local residents in Emmer Green and Caversham by denying them the opportunity to comment on the full information provided by WATES and RGC, through the well documented, proper consultation process. · There is no reasonable rationale for any change in the original wording of CA1b. This is wording that RBC devised following submission of CA1b by RGC and after RBC had carried out full community consultation. RGC did not object at the time of their submission of this parcel of land to the Local Plan. If the original wording and conditions for inclusion are not acceptable then CA1b should be removed from the Local Plan. · There is no evidence provided in the 83 page document that RGC have made any recent attempt to explore and purchase land for two new replacement holes as required in CA1b. Lack of the provision of two new holes must therefore require CA1b to be removed from the Local Plan. · The 83 page document provides clear evidence of a bigger master plan for development of 700 houses on the whole of RGC. This should be subject to proper full consideration through the full planning procedure as applied by RBC and SODC. Piecemeal development should not be allowed. This allows developers to circumvent their obligations to provide full infrastructure development, roads, schools, healthcare, water, sewerage etc.. Any issues you had with infrastructure regarding CA1b will be multiplied 7-fold with 700 houses on RGC. For this reason CA1b should be removed from the Local Plan. · Park and Ride would be useless without dedicated bus lanes into Reading. The present bus service frequency has recently been reduced due to the inability to maintain the timetable owing to traffic congestion and lack of use. · Proposed exit from the proposed new development is a single road onto Kidmore End Road. This would mean excessive traffic emerging onto an already busy and narrow Kidmore End Road. · Responses are requested to focus on CA1b, but it has to be seen in the context of RGC/WATES desire to see planning given for the whole golf course. There is a false promise in the 83 page document to ‘gift’ facilities to the community.

  • CAVERSHAM and EMMER GREEN Reading Borough Council
    READING BOROUGH LOCAL PLAN EXAMINATION CAVERSHAM AND EMMER GREEN Reading Borough Council response to Issue 13: Are the policies for Caversham and Emmer Green justified, deliverable and consistent with national policy? Q1. Is the strategy for the Caversham and Emmer Green justified? Does the strategy appropriately reflect the concerns relating to infrastructure as set out in paragraph 8.2.5 of the LP? The strategy for Caversham and Emmer Green is justified. The reasoning for the strategy is generally set out within the text of the Local Plan itself. The level of development planned for the area stems from the assessment of capacity undertaken in the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA, EV014 and EV015). This considered that the area could accommodate approximately 700 homes between 2013 and 2036, around 5% of the total planned for, but very little commercial development, as identified in paragraph 8.2.3 of the Local Plan. Caversham and Emmer Green has the lowest potential for additional development of the five areas. It is an existing residential area (with the exception of the small centres and some small concentrations of industry), where the opportunities for development even on previously-developed sites are very limited. There is some greenfield land within the area, but most of this is important for its recreation, landscape or historic value and should be protected. Much of the edge of this area adjoins the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is also heritage interest, in particular associated with the history of the area as villages and hamlets in their own right, separate from Reading.

    Peppard Ward Independent News Putting People First! Why Independent? Cllr Mark Ralph responds: “When I was first asked to stand for election as a Conservative Councillor in 2004, I did so on the basis that I would not compromise my personal principles.” “Jamie Chowdhary’s deselection and the subsequent vendetta against him by those within Reading East Conservative Association was a disgrace. In-fighting and internal politics were already impeding Conservative Councillors’ ability to serve their residents and the behaviour of the Association’s leadership towards Jamie was such that it was no longer an organisation that I wished to belong to.” Other Conservative Councillors left the Association too but have since crept back, no doubt hoping that no one will notice! Mark says: “As a Ward Councillor, I have always followed the principle of ‘People First, Politics Second’ and in addition to people’s day to day concerns, I am now freer to focus on those things that my residents tell me matter most: quality services, safer communities, support for older residents and vulnerable children, protection of the environment, good schools, more school places, and better value for money for the Council Taxpayer.” Thank You! To all those that voted for “Following Jamie’s experience, I fully expect Jamie Chowdhary in the 2012 Cllr Willis and his colleagues within the elections, thank you. Reading East Conservative Association to We were overwhelmed by the conduct a very unpleasant campaign leading number of people that came up to the 2014 elections. forward to support him and on the day, he took just under I hope that people will see this for what it is 800 votes – unprecedented for and judge me on my many achievements for an Independent but, sadly the residents of Peppard Ward.” insufficient for him to retain his position as a Councillor Councillor Mark Ralph T: 0118 948 1615 E: [email protected] Twitter: @Councillor1UK Website: www.PeppardWard.com Promoted by Jamie Chowdhary, on behalf of the Peppard Independents Organisation of, 16c Upton Road, Reading, RG30 4BJ.

  • INSIDE Emmer Green Under Pressure: 'Keep Emmer Green'
    No 653 Caversham Bridge www.cavershambridge.org Price 40p July 2019 Emmer Green under pressure: ‘Keep Emmer Green’ This month our front page story highlights Emmer Green: one of the four of the struggles that would lie ahead in terms of conflicts between councils and territories of ‘Caversham’. Each part of Caversham is different in many ways – communities: these may be multiplied several-fold! delightfully diverse in history, urban fabric and community. North of the Thames, There are three ‘threats to our neighbourhood’ as KEG points out. 1) Reading Golf Caversham shares an administrative boundary with South Oxfordshire District (SODC), a near neighbour but one subject to a different regional planning regime and with its own priorities and problems. Notwithstanding, Caversham people feel that those who live in Sonning Common, Peppard, Kidmore End and Woodcote are close to and part of us! But, we appreciate the nature of the space that separates us because the majority of it is within Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It provides the ‘green lung’ for us all, services many recreational needs in the widest sense and is a constant reminder of the nature and value of countryside. We can be proud that it is a reservoir of natural woodland, and offers good biodiversity and ecological habitat. These last three aspects are central to the increasing pace of environmental interest and the looming sense that climatic and ecological crises may be none too far away. And in the local perspective we intersect in at least three ways: housing development; traffic infrastructure and management; public transport and education.

Mapledurham village is still in South Oxfordshire, some miles away. The Working Party has proposed moving Thames WB into ward C, to achieve electoral equality. This area had previously been in Caversham ward, and was moved into Thames by the 2001/02 review. The Working Party has also proposed transferring the NW part of Peppard V into ward A.

  • North Reading Neighbourhood Policing Monthly Newsletter
    North Reading Neighbourhood Policing Monthly Newsletter The Reading North Neighbourhood Policing Team have had another busy month. We have been dealing with a variety of community issues across theroughs of Caversham, Peppard, Mapledurham and Emmer Green. The main part of Reading North NHPT’s concentration has been aimed at disrupting and preventing anti-social behaviour across the 4 North Reading wards. There has been a variety of ASB that has had a number of different factors to address. We must stress that no job is the same so it does take a considerable about of planning and strategic thinking along with working with our partner agencies to create a positive result. It can also be a rather lengthy process and often cannot be corrected overnight. Mapledurham playing fields, situated off the Upper Woodcote Road has been one of our ASB hotspots with numerous complaints regarding vehicles parking up and playing loud music and doing so into the early hours of the morning. This was firstly brought to our attention via the North Reading Safer Neighbourhood Forum and. We firstly placed the area onto our daily NHPT patrol plan and along with the Problem Solving Team we were able to enhance the police presence and Anti-Social Behaviour “Operation in Progress” signs were placed around the car park. We then spent 4 consecutive nights sitting in the darkest corner of the carpark waiting for the suspects to arrive. We only issued 1 warning but we believe that the message was made clear and will be passed to their friends who more than likely were coming to meet them.
