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.

  • Tree Watch Issue 39 November 2018
    Wokingham District Veteran Tree Association Tree Watch Issue 39 November 2018 On 20th November, we had 7,582 trees in our database and 10,902 photographs Welcome to the latest issue of Tree Watch. I hope you all had an enjoyable summer. The recent weather has not been particularly conducive to surveying, but these dark evenings mean we can make plans for our surveys in the spring. If you haven’t done any tree surveying yet, but think you might like to get involved please let us know. We would like to recruit some more people to help us complete our veteran tree survey. If you don’t want to survey, perhaps you have some ideas for new projects we could initiate. On page 10 Linda Martin tells us about a yew forest in Sussex. Nearer to us is the Ankerwycke yew. Join us in January to see this iconic tree and learn about it from Toby Hindson from the Ancient Yew Forum (see events details). In 2015, the National Trust planned to put a board walk around the tree to prevent root compaction. The photos here were taken five years ago and it will be interesting to see what the site looks like now. As I was putting the final touches to this issue, I listened to an episode of the BBC radio 4 programme “Open Country” about ash trees (20th November). See recommended websites on page 13 for the link if you’d like to listen to it (just ignore the bit about the invention of the wheel).

  • Wokingham District Council Election Results 1997-2012
    Wokingham District Council Election Results 1997-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to elections@plymouth.ac.uk. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

The Localism Act 2011 has made significant changes to the Local Government Finance Act 1992, and now requires the billing authority to calculate a Council Tax requirement for the year, not its budget requirement as previously. The Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group will make her budget speech and propose any amendments that she wishes to the budget proposals put forward by the Leader of the Council. 1. That it be noted that at its meeting on 26th January 2017 Special Council Executive calculated the following amounts for the year 2017/18 in accordance with regulations made under Section 31B of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, as amended by the Localism Act 2011 and the Local Government Finance Act 2012:- (a) 67,433.40 being the amount calculated by the Council, (Item T) in accordance with regulation 31B of the Local Authorities (Calculation of Council Tax Base) Regulations 1992 (as amended by the Localism Act 2011 and the Local Government Finance Act 2012), as its council tax base for the year (b) Part of the Council's area.

  • Primary and Secondary Schools Roll Projections
    Agenda Item 53 This report is to note. TITLE Primary and Secondary Schools Roll Projections FOR CONSIDERATION BY Schools Forum on 10 July 2019 WARD (All Wards); LEAD OFFICER Deputy Chief Executive - Graham Ebers, Director of Children's Services - Carol Cammiss OUTCOME / BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY That there are sufficient primary and secondary school places, that are sufficiently close to homes to promote sustainable travel to school. RECOMMENDATION That Forum notes the contents of the report. SUMMARY OF REPORT The projections indicate that there are sufficient primary school places to meet needs. However, the borough’s strategy for new homes, focused on a small number of large scale developments is expected to mean that there will be a mismatch between where children live and where schools are located. With the exception of the pressures seen in the Shinfield area (and possibly evidenced by the birth ”spike” in Woodley) there has been no immediate surge in demand in areas with rapid housing growth. In summary, to date the lower birth numbers per year after 2012 have been more important than the impact of migration related to the number of new homes built in the borough. At secondary level, the primary bulge is working its way into the secondary sector. However, although the projections indicate that demand will outstrip the available places, the growth may not be so great as to create a requirement for a large-scale expansion programme. The greatest pressure is likely to be seen in the north of the borough, where school expansion could be challenging given site restrictions.
