Page 5 WESTERN AREA PLANNING COMMITTEE - 12 AUGUST 2020 - MINUTES Removal of speaking rights 4. As resolved at the Extraordinary Council meeting held on 29 April 2020, public speaking rights had been removed for virtual Council meetings. This right had replaced with the ability to make written submissions. This decision had been made in accordance with The Local Authorities and Police and Crime Panels (Coronavirus) (Flexibility of Local Authority and Police and Crime Panels Meetings) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020. 5. In accordance with the Extraordinary Council resolution, written submissions had been received from the agent. 6. Written submissions were read out by the Clerk to the Committee: Agent Representation The written submission of Fowler Architecture & Planning Ltd was read out as follows: This application seeks planning permission for an extension to a two storey detached house, White Lodge. While the Applicants understand the reasoning, it is regrettable that no site visit has been made to inform your consideration of this application. Had a site visit been conducted, you would see that White Lodge occupies a position that is unusually obscured, with limited visibility from public vantage points to the east, screened views from the north and west, and effectively none from the south. The proposed extension, to be situated to the rear of the existing house, makes use of this position, the result being that the extension would have little visual impact on a house with no particular prominence. Planning permission was granted at the site for an extension of a similar shape in 2017, this has now lapsed. The previous permission, secured by a previous owner, permitted an extension that would not provide a significant uplift in residential amenity for occupants. The current Applicants, who intend to occupy White Lodge themselves for the foreseeable future, made an application for a larger extension last year, however that was withdrawn. This application

I refer to the letter dated February 20th from the developer’s highway consultants RPS in response to my previous memorandum dated February 13th 2009. RPS have confirmed that there will be a maximum of 814 construction workers. Having regards to the construction workers at AWE Aldermaston, 62 % of workers travelled to the site by car. RPS therefore confirm that overall 538 spaces will be required, of which 300 will be provided in the new car park at Pingewood Gate, with workers coached to the construction enclave. An additional 130 car parking spaces will be provided within AWE Burghfield and the construction enclave accessed from Pingewood Gate, with a further 138 provided within existing areas accessed from the Main Gate. It would therefore seem that there will be sufficient car parking provided within the site. 2. I refer to the latest drawing of the off site highway works RPS drawing number JNY6430/002-E.

A public consultation process will now help to determine which site is selected. The sites, which already hold radioactive materials, are either owned by MOD, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) or industry. They are: • the Atomic Weapons Establishment sites at Aldermaston and Burghfield in Berkshire which are owned by MOD and run by AWE plc; • Sellafield in west Cumbria, owned by the NDA; • Chapelcross in Dumfriesshire, owned by the NDA; • Capenhurst in Cheshire, which is run by Capenhurst Nuclear Services. Philip Dunne MP, Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology: “When the submarines in the Royal Navy fleet reach the end of their lives we need to dispose of them in a way that is safe, secure and environmentally sound. “This open and transparent public consultation process provides the opportunity to work closely with local communities near to potential sites to listen carefully to their views with the aim of delivering a solution that achieves these objectives.

  • Rare Plant Register
    1 BSBI RARE PLANT REGISTER Berkshire & South Oxfordshire V.C. 22 MICHAEL J. CRAWLEY FRS UPDATED APRIL 2005 2 Symbols and conventions The Latin binomial (from Stace, 1997) appears on the left of the first line in bold, followed by the authority in Roman font and the English Name in italics. Names on subsequent lines in Roman font are synonyms (including names that appear in Druce’s (1897) or Bowen’s (1964) Flora of Berkshire that are different from the name of the same species in Stace). At the right hand side of the first line is a set of symbols showing - status (if non-native) - growth form - flowering time - trend in abundance (if any) The status is one of three categories: if the plant arrived in Britain after the last ice age without the direct help of humans it is defined as a native, and there is no symbol in this position. If the archaeological or documentary evidence indicates that a plant was brought to Berkshire intentionally of unintentionally by people, then that species is an alien. The alien species are in two categories ● neophytes ○ archaeophytes Neophytes are aliens that were introduced by people in recent times (post-1500 by convention) and for which we typically have precise dates for their first British and first Berkshire records. Neophytes may be naturalized (forming self-replacing populations) or casual (relying on repeated introduction). Archaeophytes are naturalized aliens that were carried about by people in pre-historic times, either intentionally for their utility, or unintentionally as contaminants of crop seeds. Archaeophytes were typically classified as natives in older floras.
