This enables users to search records from 1996 onwards, providing much more information than can be published in the Annual Reports and making the data available much earlier than can be done with the hard copy reports. The details of this service, including the provisions for sensitive records, are explained at http://berksoc. org.uk/recording/bird-records-archive/ This report, along with the 2015 report, is published in 2018. Acknowledgements The preparation of the County bird report relies on the voluntary efforts of many people for data collection, species account writing, preparing articles, providing photographs, editing and, critically, the observers who put in their records. At the end of this report is a list of the observers whose records contribute to the reports. We hope the list is accurate: please let us know of any errors or omissions, for which we apologise. We are particularly grateful to Derek Barker, who single-handedly prepared the Systematic List for 2014, a Herculean task! Our thanks also go to Tim Ball, Richard Crawford, Ken Moore, Nigel Rampton, Mike Turton and Renton Righelato who provided articles and to the photographers who generously provided their excellent shots. Thanks also to Robert Gillmor for his cover picture of the Great Reed Warbler. Renton Righelato 4 Submitting records Sending your records promptly and electronically will enable the County database to be kept complete and up to date. To facilitate review and report preparation, records may be sent throughout the year and anyway should be filed within three months of a year end. If you are unable to send your records electronically, we may be able to help: please contact the Recorder: Richard Burness, 20 Burlsdon Way, Bracknell, Berkshire RG12 2PH. Records can be entered on line at www.berksbirds.co.uk or sent by email to the Recorder [email protected] as an excel file or as a CSV file. Excel files should have the following eight columns in this order: Species, Site, Grid reference, Arrival date, Departure date, Number, Notes, Observer, Breeding status. Species: Required. If possible, please use the species name from BWP. Please do not use plurals. e.g. do do not enter “Siskins” or “Canada Geese”, but “Siskin” or “Canada Goose”. Site: Required. If possible, please use the site names as used in these reports. Otherwise, please enter the site as the nearest landmark on an OS map and specify the grid reference in the “Grid reference” field. Sites such as “my garden”, “River Thames”, “3 miles east of Reading” or “by the A33” are examples of inappropriate site names. Grid reference: Four or six figure grid ref. The prefix, either “SU” or “TQ” should be included and there should be no spaces between characters. Grid references are only required for less well-known sites, or to give a very precise location within a large site. Arrival date: Required. In the format “dd/mm/yyyy” i.e. “01/01/2005”. For records that refer to more than one day enter the first date in this field and the last date in the “Departure date” field. Departure date: Optional. In the format “dd/mm/yyyy” e.g. “01/01/2005”. Number: Required. Whole number only. e.g. the following are not valid: “c10”, “10+”, “1–2”, “many”. Enter any quantifying information in the Notes field. Notes: Optional. Use the Notes field to enter information on age, sex, behaviour, breeding details etc. Any reference to other species made in this field will not be recorded for that species – please make a separate entry for each species. Breeding Status: Optional. Please use the BTO breeding evidence codes: http://www.bto. org/volunteer-surveys/birdatlas/methods/breeding-evidence. Observer: Required. Please enter your full name and include your middle names if you have any. .csv files should use the same eight fields separated by commas (whether or not they contain data) and note that any field containing a comma should be enclosed in double quotes. Thus, for example: Siskin,”Searles Lane, Burghfield”,03/02/2019,,10,Feeding in Alders,,MJT. Confidentiality: Confidential records should be sent separately but in the same format, and noted as confidential and why in the covering email. The locations of records for rare breeding species will, in any case, be held in confidence. Species requiring a description: Records of rarer species will be reviewed by the Berkshire Records Committee and may require a description or additional notes – please see the BRC report page 34. 5 Birding Highlights of 2014 by Ken Moore JANUARY 2014, in the soggy beginning of the New Year the flooded meadows between Theale and Reading held a record numbers of Little Egret – 27 counted on the 19th near Burghfield Bridge. A single Black-necked Grebe was present for a day at Theale Main Pit on the 7th. Ringtail Hen Harriers were seen near Bury Down and at Jealotts Hill. There were two Little Gulls and three Kittiwakes around the county. A good roost count of 320 to 400 Pied Wagtails in Central Reading was a regular feature during the month. At South Hill Park on the 8th January, a Water Rail was seen to grab a drinking Goldfinch, quickly drown it and then start to peck and pull at it. At last, some better weather in FEBRUARY. The first Oystercatchers of the year arrived at Theale Main Pit on the 3rd and on the 22nd, 5 Ringed Plovers flew into the old Aggregate area at Lower Farm. Two were metal ringed, one being a colour ringed bird from a Hampshire Coastal project. A drake Scaup was seen at Moor Green Lakes, staying only a few days from the 20th. On the 27th, at Padworth Lane, a Great White Egret was seen flying over. During January and February, one lucky observer had up to 63 Lesser Redpolls in her Bracknell garden, plus regular visits of a Mealy Redpoll. MARCH brought the first Little Ringed Plover of the year on the 16th at Padworth Lane Floods, an average date of arrival. Another drake Scaup arrived at Lower Farm on the 16th for a few days and 2 Red-breasted Mergansers briefly visited QMR on the 24th.

I refer to the letter dated February 20th from the developer’s highway consultants RPS in response to my previous memorandum dated February 13th 2009. RPS have confirmed that there will be a maximum of 814 construction workers. Having regards to the construction workers at AWE Aldermaston, 62 % of workers travelled to the site by car. RPS therefore confirm that overall 538 spaces will be required, of which 300 will be provided in the new car park at Pingewood Gate, with workers coached to the construction enclave. An additional 130 car parking spaces will be provided within AWE Burghfield and the construction enclave accessed from Pingewood Gate, with a further 138 provided within existing areas accessed from the Main Gate. It would therefore seem that there will be sufficient car parking provided within the site. 2. I refer to the latest drawing of the off site highway works RPS drawing number JNY6430/002-E.

  • Email Exchanges Between Wokingham Borough Council And
    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.

  • Borough Local Plan: Submission Version (2017) 1 Foreword
    Borough Local Plan 2013 - 2033 Submission version Borough Local Plan: Submission Version (2017) 1 Foreword Foreword by Leader of the Council and the Lead Member for Planning We are delighted to present the Borough Local Plan for the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. The Borough Local Plan promotes a sustainable pattern of development for the Borough until 2033. The new development that is proposed in this plan aims to provide for new housing and affordable housing to fulfil the needs of all of our residents, whilst at the same time protecting our valued natural and built historic environment and assets. The plan aims to protect and enhance those elements that make our Borough special in the eyes of not only our residents but all those who choose to visit, work and invest in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. We are privileged to be home to one of the most recognisable and valued historic assets in the country, Windsor Castle and the Windsor Great Park which the Borough Local Plan seeks to protect not only for our own benefit but also for future generations. The Borough Local Plan is based on a substantial and robust evidence base and on the results of the consultation exercises we have carried out in the past, as guided by national policy and legislation. We have worked with partners including our neighbouring local authorities, statutory bodies and local communities and agencies, as well as considering the many emerging and adopted Neighbourhood Development Plans being prepared by parishes and neighbourhood forums. Planning often presents difficult choices and requires a balance of national policy and local wishes.

However, following initial consultation, it was decided that no scheme should be taken forward without further development work and a full consultation involving local residents, stakeholders and motorists. A public consultation was held between the 19 June 2015 and the 12 September 2015 on three options. It gave an opportunity for all to express their views on the proposed improvement options. The three options were: Option 1: Partial Signalised Roundabout Option 2: Left In/Left Out Option 3: Signalised Junction This report outlines how the public consultation was planned, carried out and its feedback reviewed. Exhibitions were held locally over 2 days with; one day at Bisham Abbey and the second at Bisham Church of England (C of E) Primary School.
