The Mayor will promote policies that seek to achieve and to exceed this target. Policy 3A.2 Borough housing targets. UDP policies should: • seek to exceed the figures in Table 3A.1 and to address the suitability of housing development in terms of location, type of development and impact on the locality (see policies, 3D.8, 3D.9, 3D.13, 4B.11 and 4B.12) • identify new sources of supply having regard to: - major development in Opportunity Areas and in the London parts of the Thames Gateway and London- Stansted-Cambridge growth areas and redevelopment of low density commercial sites to secure 1 mixed use residential development - change of use of unneeded industrial/employment land to residential or mixed use development - redevelopment in town centres, suburban heartlands and small scale residential infill - intensification of housing provision through development at higher densities particularly where there is good access to public transport • review existing identified housing sites and include existing and proposed housing sites on Proposals Maps. The capacity of housing sites should be determined in accordance with the urban design and density policies of this plan (see policies 4B.1, 4B.2 and 4B.3 as well as affordable housing policies 3A.7 and 3A.8). • monitor housing approvals and completions against the annual monitoring targets in Table 3A.1 and against any higher targets adopted in their UDPs. Policy 3A.12 Loss of housing and affordable housing UDP policies should prevent the loss of housing, including affordable housing, without its planned replacement at existing or higher densities.

  • WI News 2010
    WI News 2010 December: ~ December's walk: On a foggy December morning 13 members and friends set off from the old Saxon town of Cricklade, going along the Thames path, through an ancient Lammas meadow and then joining up with the disused section of two canals, Wilts & Berks and Thames & Severn. At Latton Junction a little festive refreshment was enjoyed. After arriving at Cerney Wick, field paths took us to the edge of one of the lakes in the eastern part of the Water Park. We then joined the railway path, previously The Midland and South Western Junction Railway, eventually reaching Cricklade and a delicious lunch at The White Hart. Cricklade WI walk, taken at Latton Junction, the meeting of two canals - Wilts & Berks and Thames & Severn. (December 2010 - photo courtesy of Jenny Hayne) ~ A happy buzz of chatter could be heard in Kington St Michael Village Hall when the WI was host to about 75 retired villagers on Sunday. As a gesture of friendship and community spirit each year their guests are invited to a festive Christmas gathering when mouth-watering home-made canapés are served and drinks flow freely. It is a lovely opportunity for villagers to get to know one another better, particularly if they are new to the area. President Viv Penney wished everyone a very happy Christmas on behalf of the WI. 1 November: ~ On a beautiful autumn morning 15 walkers left the War Memorial at Rode, an old woollen mill village. After passing Rode Hill House, which was the scene of one of the most infamous murders of the 19-century, we followed the River Frome to Farleigh Hungerford, where lunch was enjoyed at the Hungerford Arms, with beautiful views of the valley and castle ruins.

  • The Thames Path: from Source to Sea
    AINA CASE STUDY HEALTH, WELL-BEING AND RECREATION The Thames Path: from source to sea The Thames Path begins at Thames Head in the Cotswolds and finishes at the dramatic Thames Barrier. Plans are underway to extend the route further east along both shores of the estuary. A long distance path which follows England's second longest river The Thames Path is a designated National Trail which follows our second longest river from its source to the Thames Barrier – a distance of 296 kilometres. The route, which was formally opened in 1996, passes many famous places of interest and a great variety of scenery accompanies the river, ranging from the Cotswold Hills out to the wide expanses marking the start of the Thames estuary. Parts of the route have always been available to walkers, though lengths with diversions away from the river were necessary. In addition, historic ferry points allowed towpath users to cross from one bank to another and lockside bridges also helped access, but, as times changed, recreational use of the path increased, and after the Second World War campaigns began to call for a fully accessible riverside walk. Natural England are responsible for the upkeep of the trail, with the support of organisations such as the Environment Agency and the River Thames Society. A management group publishes a Thames Path Management Strategy to direct development of the trail for the next five years. The route passes through more than twenty local authority areas, and these are all actively involved in promoting the route, which is also marketed via the River Thames Alliance.

  • M4 Smarter Motorway – Response from RBWM
    M4 Smarter Motorway – Response from RBWM General RBWM as part of the Thames Valley Local Economic Partnership is supportive of the M4 Smart Motorway project, as outlined in the TVB LEP Strategic Economic Plan. The Council recognises that the scheme will provide additional traffic capacity and more reliable journey times on the M4, where congestion at peak times is spreading to other parts of the day. These improvements will help maintain the Borough’s connectivity across the Thames Valley and the wider area, as well as London and Heathrow airport. However, RBWM fundamentally oppose the proposals for a third runway as part of Heathrow expansion due to the adverse environmental impact upon local residents, local businesses, institutions and the tourist trade and therefore would not support the M4 Smart Motorway scheme if it were being introduced to facilitate expansion at Heathrow. Traffic Impact Whilst the additional traffic capacity on the M4 motorway is to be supported, the Council remains concerned that the traffic impact on motorway junctions, approach roads as well as local roads has yet to be clearly identified. Mitigation measures to address these impacts needs to be considered and funding to implement appropriate measures needs to be identified. Road Safety Although the Council broadly supports the principals of the Smarter Motorway scheme, there are concerns about the full-time replacement of the hard shoulder with emergency refuge areas spaced a 2.5km intervals. A comparative safety assessment based on data from existing similar smart motorway arrangements would have supported this decision. Construction Impact Construction activity will need to be carefully managed in order to minimise impact upon adjacent residential properties.
