Chairman CycleReading Spring 2014 1 Campaign News Campaign News Reading Borough Council (RBC) Reading’s Own ‘Boris Bikes’ You may have noticed some orange stands sprouting out. Having briefly been useful as an additional rail to lock your bike up to they have now flowered with purple bicycles! Several stands have been erected around the town centre (including both sides of the station), Green Park, Thames Valley Park and the Royal Berkshire Hospital. While there are a few in Whitley, the University area and a couple in Caversham there is a notable lack of stands in East or West Reading. Let’s hope this is rectified quickly if the scheme proves successful. You can pre-register at readybike.co.uk for a card that will allow you to help yourself to a bike and return it to any stand when you’re finished. The scheme will cost £50 a year to register. The first 30 minutes of each journey are free, after which the bikes are hired at £1 per hour. Mobile Bicycle Repair!

    Appeal Decision Inquiry opened on 10 March 2020 Site visits made on 9 (unaccompanied) and 10 (accompanied) March 2020 by Jonathan Manning BSc (Hons) MA MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Decision date: 25th August 2020 Appeal Ref: APP/X0360/W/19/3235572 Land East of Finchampstead Road, Wokingham, RG40 3JT • The appeal is made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against a refusal to grant outline planning permission. • The appeal is made by Gladman Developments Limited against the decision of Wokingham Borough Council. • The application ref: 190286, dated 31 January 2019, was refused by notice dated 25 April 2019. • The development proposed is up to 216 dwellings (including 40% affordable housing), landscaping, public open space, playing field and equipped play areas, surface water flood mitigation and attenuation, vehicular access from Finchampstead Road, pedestrian access from Luckley Road and associated ancillary works. Decision 1. The appeal is dismissed. Procedural Matters 2. It came to my attention before the Inquiry was due to open on 11 December 2019 that there was disagreement between the main parties over the proposed emergency access arrangements for the site. Having regard to the views of the main parties on this matter and the documentation supporting the proposal, I found that whilst I was content that the proposed emergency access arrangements through the neighbouring Luckley House School was always intended by the appellant, this was somewhat unclear in the planning application documentation. This had led to confusion and a misunderstanding of the proposed arrangements by the Council.

  • Landscape Character Assessment Part 2
    PART 2 THE CHARACTER OF THE WOKINGHAM LANDSCAPE 5 LANDSCAPE TYPE A: RIVER VALLEYS Landscape Character Areas A1: Thames River Valley A2: Loddon River Valley A3: Blackwater River Valley Characteristics of Landscape Type 5.1 There are three character areas classified as being of the River Valley landscape type. These correspond to the valleys of the Rivers Thames and Blackwater which respectively, define the north and south boundary of the district and the Loddon which bisects the district, in a south-north direction. This landscape type is distinguished by a flat lowland alluvial/river terrace floodplain supporting a mixture of arable and pastoral farmland generally set within a partially wooded context creating a semi-enclosed landscape. Key Characteristics • Flat to gently shelving. • Predominantly alluvial floodplain with some areas of river terrace. • Important wetland and marginal habitats. Wokingham District Landscape Character Assessment 52 • Pastoral fields and meadows with large arable fields further away from river. • Semi-enclosed landscape with open fields framed within a wooded backdrop. Relationship to Berkshire Landscape Character Assessment 5.2 The River Valley landscape type corresponds to Type B: Lower River Floodplain of the Berkshire Landscape Character Assessment. The particular character areas are B4: Hurley Thames, B6: Lower Loddon and B7: Blackwater. Generally, there is good parity between the boundaries of the landscape types. The main distinction is that two small areas within the valleys of the Thames and Blackwater have been separated into the River Valley with Open Water landscape type. Additionally, there have been some minor boundary changes due to the more detailed scale of this assessment including some areas where River Terraces have been distinguished from the main valley landscape.
