CHAIR: Order, order. Good morning and welcome to the HS2 Select Committee where we will hear some more petitions but firstly I would like to impart some decisions, which we will also be doing tomorrow and on Monday. 2. The village of Burton Green will be bisected by the railway. The Bill proposes a green tunnel which additional provisions will extend by 50 metres at both ends. Petitioners argued for a deep bore tunnel or a short bored tunnel. The additional cost of a deep bore tunnel would be somewhere between £179.5 million and £645 million. The cost of a short bored tunnel would be between £28 million and £32 million. Even allowing for possible overestimates we have concluded that neither option would represent value for money. Additional mitigation proposed by the promoter together with other measures that we have suggested should help. 3. A new proposal for relocating the village hall is being worked on. We have requested that the promoter seeks views on location and that the HS2 Ltd budget for the new hall be generous. The new facility should be open before the existing hall closes. We have requested that the promoter suggests specific ways to support pupil numbers at the local Church of England primary school during construction and for one year after the scheme opens. 4. HS2 Ltd have proposed improvements to footpaths, including reduced diversion of the Kenilworth Greenway, which we welcome. We have encouraged HS2 Ltd to maintain a dialogue with the Greenway Trust and with the local tree warden group. It is important that the community sustain itself during several years of construction in the area and that properties acquired from HS2 Ltd for let be well maintained. We have received a detailed and satisfactory report from HS2 on rented property maintenance in the area and we expect further reports in due course. We will also be keeping an eye on the success of the Need to Sell Scheme as it operates in this area. 5. Now we move back to Chipping Warden with Mr and Mrs Douglas. Alexander and Natasha Douglas 6. MR DOUGLAS: Thank you very much, Mr Chairman. Can I have the first slide of my presentation? Thank you. We are Alexander and Natasha Douglas and we live at 3 Mill Lane House in Chipping Warden. We are both going to do a double act on this presentation. We have five main points which we will be sharing between us. 7. Can I have the second slide, please? The red blob on the screen now is where we live and the next slide shows the extent of our property, which is, I think, important to the background to the environmental area. We have lived here for three years. Prior to that we lived for four years nearby in the village of Greatworth, which is also on the route of HS2. We spent most of that time, in fact, looking for somewhere to live. We had two key criteria, or two reasons, I guess. One was that South Northamptonshire is particularly beautiful and an unspoilt rural county. The next slide shows our view, which I think gives a flavour of what it looks like and what it is like. It is also totally tranquil. That is a big reason why we chose this particular house and the area. 8. MR BELLINGHAM: Which way is that map facing? 9. MR DOUGLAS: That is looking south. 10. SIR PETER BOTTOMLEY: So, looking from the property out to your land? 11. MR DOUGLAS: Yes, and the railway is off to the left, which will not be visible. It will be off to the left. The other key criterion was to be close to Natasha’s parents. Both of them are in their seventies and we had a key criterion that we wanted to be within 10 minutes of them because Natasha’s mother has recently had several emergencies, so we need to be close by to visit at least daily and also to be able to get there quickly in the case of an emergency. We will come back to this because it is integral to how the village is connected today to the rest of the world and how it is proposed to be connected during construction and afterwards. 12. Could I have the next slide, please? This is just intended to give a little more flavour of how we live. We have three ponies and three children. We use our land for the ponies and we use the area to bring the children up in the way you would choose to live or choose to live now and maybe not be able to afterwards. 13. Could we have the next slide? That is just the house, so the next slide again. On the map with HS2 on it our house is just on the left-hand side of that purple blob. So, our house is around here. I guess the point I am trying to make is that there are a number of bridleways and footpaths underneath that purple blob where currently we ride 4 with our children. We would, as they get older and bigger, extend further and further away on those bridleways, but clearly we are not going to be able to do that because the railway is going to cut clean across several of them and where they are reinstated it is still probably not going to be suitable for small children on ponies, due to the noise and visual distraction of the train and the fear it imposes on the ponies. 14. So, just to summarise, the reason we are here is that we think HS2 will clearly have a financial impact on us and the value of our property. It also has a personal impact on our lives. The real nub of all of the things we are here to ask for is to eliminate or at least mitigate those effects because, as I am sure many petitioners have said, we do not see why we in our village should suffer for an amenity which is entirely for other people because we live smack between the two stations and will not use them. So, we are very keen to eliminate the downsides of the railway itself. 15. As I say, I know that many of the issues have been raised by other people. We have submitted a fairly detailed and lengthy petition, which I am sure you will be relieved to hear that we are not going to go through step by step, because I know that a number of those points have been covered. So, just to let you know what we are planning to talk about: the Chipping Warden bypass, which is agreed but we wish to raise a few issues on that anyway; the future of the Culworth Road and the portal compound, the construction compound, for the tunnel portal at the eastern end; noise to the extent that we can and then the main construction compound at Chipping Warden, which was in our petition and we have some issues arising from the response; and also the A361 road itself, particularly where it passes through Wardington which we feel is of personal and of more general public interest and impact. So, that is where we are going to focus. With that I shall turn to Natasha who will present some of those points. 16. MRS DOUGLAS: Can I have the next slide, please? We are very relieved that Chipping Warden is being given a bypass. We are, however, concerned that the consultation process around the bypass has been quite rushed. The village itself has been asked for feedback by 25 March, which is unrealistic. We are not quite sure why there is such a rush. The issues that need proper consideration and have been identified so far are the balancing ponds, which are here and here, and their impact on the drainage system of the village – this village is prone to flooding; the severance of footpath AE19 and how that will connect to AE18 over the road; the footpaths are here and here. 5 Moving further north there is the relocation of footpath AE15 and how that again will join to AE17 on the other side of the road.

    Subject: Unexplained Lights Later in the night a red sun/ike light was seen through the trees. It moved about and pulsed. At one point it appeared to throw offglowing particles and then broke into five separate white objects and then disappeared. Immediately thereafter, three starlike objects were noticed in the sky, two objects to the north and one to the south, all of which were about 1 oo offthe horizon. The objects moved rapidly in sharp angular movements and displayed red, green and blue lights. The objects to the north appeared to be elliptical through an 8-12 power lens. Then they turned to full circles. The objects to the north remained in the sky for an hour or more. The object to the south was visible for two or three hours and beamed down a stream of light from time to time. Numerous individuals, including the undersigned, witnessed the activities. -from an oHicial memorandum wriHen by Charles I. Halt, Lt.

    Site Address: Tuthill Park, Banbury 14/01671/F Road, Wardington Ward: Cropredy District Councillor: Ken Atack Case Officer: Rebekah Morgan Recommendation: Approval Applicant: Mr Francis Tuthill Application Description: Proposed extension and alterations. Demolish existing greenhouse stores and construct new workshop and ancillary office/administration accommodation; refurbish existing industrial buildings and construct new administration/research and development block. Upgrade and reshape existing hard-standing to form new car parking areas. Committee Referral: Major Committee Date: 22nd January 2015 1. Site Description and Proposed Development 1.1 This application relates to a site on the south-western side of Wardington. It is reached by a long access road off the main Daventry to Banbury A361 road. The access is partially shared with Wardington House Nursing Home, four neighbouring cottages and several Tuthill family properties. 1.2 The majority of the site is outside the Conservation Area, but the access road is within it. A Grade II listed building (Old Farm House) is in close proximity and a public footpath runs along the access road and continues in a westerly direction to the rear of the site. The site is also within an Area of High Landscape Value. 1.3 The site is contained within a larger well-screened site with large mature trees forming all boundaries. The site currently comprises a range of buildings of varying size and height, which have evolved since the 1970’s when Francis Tuthill Ltd established a rally car business. Alongside the Porsche business, the site has previously accommodated a horticultural business and glazing company. Whilst these uses have since ceased a large greenhouse which is currently used for storing parts, and measures 45m x 15m, and the range of other buildings and a large number of storage containers remain.

  • Archaeological Research Agenda for the Avebury World Heritage Site
    This volume draws together contributions from a number of specialists to provide an agenda for future research within the Avebury World Heritage Site. It has been produced in response to the English Heritage initiative for the development of regional and period research frameworks in England and represents the first formal such agenda for a World Heritage Site. Following an introduction setting out the background to, need for and development of the Research Agenda, the volume is presented under a series of major headings. Part 2 is a resource assessment arranged by period from the Lower Palaeolithic to the end of the medieval period (c. AD 1500) together with an assessment of the palaeo-environmental data from the area. Part 3 is the Research Agenda itself, again arranged by period but focusing on a variety of common themes. A series of more over-arching, landscape-based themes for environmental research is also included. In Part 4 strategies for the implementation of the Research Agenda are explored and in Part 5 methods relevant for that implementation are presented.
