  • Questions for Your Councillors and Mps
    Questions for your Councillors and MPs 27th February 2020 1. Local Housing Need – The October 2019 revised BFC Local Plan states that the Local Housing Need from 2021 to 2036 has already been met with existing sites without needing any contribution from Jealott’s Hill. Why is BFC proposing this un-necessary Green Belt development? 2. BFC is making an argument of “Exceptional Circumstances” to justify surrendering 242 hectares of Green Belt, in order to support nationally important agri-tech research and development based in a new 13 hectare Science and Innovation Park. Yet the Syngenta existing built on area is around 25 hectares. Why is there any need to surrender over 200 hectares of irreplaceable agricultural Green Belt for housing which is not required within the Local Plan period? 3. Exceptional Circumstances for changing Green Belt Status require all reasonable alternative options to be evaluated and rejected before considering any change of Green Belt Status? What specific alternative options were considered and why were each of them rejected? 4. Surrendering Green Belt status at Jealott’s Hill could deliver a massive £0.5 Billion uplift in land value to heavily indebted Syngenta, prior to the planned floatation of its owner, ChemChina, on the Shanghai stock market. At the 2019 consultation meetings councillors sought to justify their assessment of “Special Circumstances” allowing the Green Belt status on the land as being the price we have to pay to keep Syngenta as a local employer in the future. Yet when questioned not one of them were able to give a satisfactory answer as to why there do not appear to be any assurances or restrictions which would force Syngenta to retain employment at the site.

  • Bracknell Forest
    Landscape Character Area A1: Bracknell Forest Map 1: Location of Landscape Character Area A1 22 Image 1: Typical landscape of conifer plantation and new mixed broadleaf plantation on former heathland, with Round Hill in Crowthorne Wood in the middle distance, looking north from the Devil’s Highway at grid reference: 484936 164454. Location 5.3 This character area comprises a large expanse of forest plantation between the settlements of Bracknell to the north, Crowthorne and Sandhurst to the west, Camberley to the south (outside the study area within Surrey) and South Ascot to the east. The landscape continues into the Forested Settled Sands landscape type in Wokingham to the west and the Settled Wooded Sands in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead to the east. Key Characteristics • Large areas of forestry plantation interspersed with broadleaf woodland and limited areas of open heath, giving a sense of enclosure and remoteness. • Typically short views, contained by trees, with occasional long views along historic, straight rides (such as the Devils’ Highway) and glimpsed views from more elevated areas. • A very low settlement density and few transport corridors. Suburban settlement and development related to light-industry occur at its peripheries, but these are mostly well screened by trees and not discernible from the interior. • Well-used recreation areas valued by the local community, including provisions for a range of formal recreational uses. • Despite the non-native land cover and presence of forestry operations the area has a sense of remoteness; a sense of removal from the surrounding urban settlements and a connection to the history of Windsor Forest.
