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.

  • Open Downland
    8. LANDSCAPE TYPE 1: OPEN DOWNLAND Location and Boundaries 8.1. The landscape type encompasses a number of distinct downland blocks from the Marlborough Downs (1A) and Horton Down (1C) in the west running through to the Lambourn Downs (1B) and Blewbury Downs (1D) in the east. Boundaries are mainly defined by topography and the Upper Chalk geology, and in the north relate to the top of the Scarp (landscape type 5). To the south, the edge of the chalk similarly forms a distinct boundary. Overview The Open Downlands are the remote heart and core of the North Wessex Downs, with the dramatic landscapes created by the underlying chalk rocks being one of the defining features of the AONB. The subtle curves and undulations of the landform are revealed by the uniform clothing of cropped grass or cereals creating a landscape with a simple and elemental quality, accentuated by vast skies. The open, expansive views are punctuated by distinctive beech clumps crowning the downland summits, forming prominent and highly visible landmarks. Sparsely populated, the downlands possess a strong sense remoteness and isolation. Predominantly in arable cultivation these are landscapes of great seasonal variation, with muted browns and greys of the chalk and flinty soils in the ploughed autumn fields, giving way to fresh greens of the emerging crops in winter and spring and sweeping yellows and golds of summer. The characteristic close-cropped springy downland turf of the surviving herb-rich chalk grassland provides an important habitat and this landscape type contains the largest areas of designated chalk grassland in the AONB, with 15 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The purpose of the appraisal is to provide an overview of historic developments and key components that contribute to the special interest. This appraisal will also identify positive and negative contributors as well as opportunities for improvement in order to inform a comprehensive understanding of the conservation area.

    SALTFORD PARISH COUNCIL Saltford Library, 478a Bath Road, Saltford, Bristol BS31 3DJ 01225 873300 [email protected] www.saltfordparishcouncil.gov.uk West of England Combined Authority 3 Rivergate Bristol BS1 6EW 12th March 2019 Saltford Parish Council response to the Joint Local Transport Plan 4 consultation Saltford Parish Council welcomes that a new railway station at Saltford is featured in a map of transport improvements in the Joint Local Transport Plan 4 (2019-2036) ensuring a re-opened Saltford railway station remains part of the transport and economic vision for this sub-region. Saltford Parish Council believes that re-opening a railway station at Saltford on the existing site as part of Metro West is deliverable, affordable, and accords with the overarching aims and policies of the West of England Combined Authority. A station at Saltford on the existing site would provide a transport hub connecting rail, road, bus, river, cycling and walking routes. It is a mission of Saltford Parish Council, supported by residents, to re-open Saltford Station as soon as possible. Saltford Parish Council believes that the outline proposal for a mass transport scheme linking Bristol and Bath outlined in the consultation document is fundamentally flawed. The consultation document section 7: Connectivity in the West of England P48 Case study: Metrobus states “A bypass for the town1 has been considered to reduce congestion through the town and enable road space reallocation to public transport. We will undertake further work to assess options to provide bus priority on the approaches to Saltford before a decision on a Saltford Bypass is made.

  • Hounslow House 7 Bath Road Hounslow TW3 3EB
    Planning & Development London Borough of Hounslow, Hounslow House 7 Bath Road Hounslow TW3 3EB For the attention of Shane Baker, Deputy Head of Opportunity Areas and Growth 29 January 2020 Dear Sir, Planning Application: 2 Larch Drive, Chiswick, London W4 5QL Planning Application ref: P/2019/3954 The Kew Society (registered Charity no. 1173016) is more than 100 years old and dedicated to enhancing the beauty of Kew and preserving its heritage. The Society has a fee-paying membership of over 800. The Kew Society wishes to object to this application on a number of grounds. This objection letter focuses on four specific topics: • Traffic volumes • Transport facilities • Pollution • Impact on heritage assets We have serious concerns on a number of other issues which we will not address in detail in this letter, but we support the objections submitted by a number of other local amenity societies (e.g. the Brentford Community Council, the West Chiswick & Gunnersbury Society, the Strand on the Green Association). These issues include: • The viability of the proposed Technology Showcase scheme. There has been little information or research provided in the planning application to indicate a sufficient level of demand for the facility at this location. • The viability of the proposed high-end retail offering and four-star hotel: we see little evidence that there would be sufficient demand for either in such a congested location, particularly given the availability of other hotels in the area. The viability of the hotel is closely linked to the viability of the Showcase. There is little evidence also that the hotel, the retail offering or the Showcase represent a “range of uses which would support the Brentford Stadium Quarter” (as required in the “Site Allocations – Site 35” section of the Local Plan Review).
