  • 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.

  • 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.

It is an area of private and mostly up-market housing, running north from the Thames into the foothills of the Chilterns along the Woodcote Road, Kidmore Road and Hemdean Road. Mapledurham ward comprises, in the south, Caversham Heights; and to the north that part of Mapledurham parish which transferred to Reading Borough from Oxfordshire in 1977. 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. These are the roads in a triangle formed by Surley Row, St Barnabas Road and Evesham Road, and Rotherfield Way, to east of Highdown School and on the eastern side of the Hemdean valley..

  • 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.
