The national grid reference for the centre of the Site is SU490270182050. The Site location is shown in Figure 1. 1.1.2 These Applications form a redesign of the previous Masterplan development that was the subject of four separate planning Applications submitted in September 2014 (Ref: 14/01714/FUL, 14/01715/LBC, 14/01716/FUL, 14/01760/FUL) which sought a similar for of development across the same Site area. In December 2014 South Bucks District Council (SBDC) resolved to refuse those Applications for the entire Site. 1.1.3 This ADBA (2015 ADBA) has been updated to reflect the revised scheme proposals and consultation with Buckinghamshire County Council (BCC) Archaeology Services. The scope and principles of the previous 2014 ADBA, that were agreed and accepted, have been relied upon in the preparation of this ADBA. 1.1.4 Whilst this ADBA does not seek to provide an assessment of impacts that the Proposed Development may have on heritage assets, the purpose of this ADBA is to determine, as far as is reasonably possible from existing records, the nature, extent and significance of the historic environment within the Site in accordance with the guidelines set out in the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists ‘Standard and Guidance for historic environment desk based assessment’ (Ref. 1). 1.1.5 Therefore, the aims and objectives of this ADBA are as follows: ■ Provide an assessment of the potential for heritage assets to survive within the Site and wider 1km Study Area; ■ Identify and assess the significance of the known or predicted heritage assets considering their archaeological, historic, architectural and artistic interests and relevant Regional Archaeological Research Framework; and ■ Identify strategies for further evaluation whether or not intrusive, where the nature, extent or significance of the resource is not sufficiently well-defined. 1.2 Existing Site 1.2.1 The 20 hectare Site is designated as a Major Developed Site in the Green Belt, between the towns of Maidenhead and Taplow situated broadly between the River Thames to the west, the Jubilee Relief River to the east and directly north of the A4 Bath Road forming a triangular shape reaching a tip to the north by Ray Mill Island. It falls within the administrative boundary of SBDC with a small portion falling within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM). The location of the Site is shown in Figure 1. Site photographs illustrating the current conditions at the Site are provided in Appendix A. 1.2.2 The Site can be broadly split into four areas: ■ Taplow Mill - forms northern most part of the Site; ■ Riverside - forms the Western boundary of the Site; ■ Severnside - area located to the north of the footpath; and ■ The Southern Zone - between Mill Lane to the west and the Jubilee River and beyond to the east. 1.2.3 These four areas are discussed in more detail below and are illustrated on Figure 9. Project number: 44170 Dated: 12/03/2015 | Taplow Mill 1.2.4 This area of the Site is the most northerly. It captures the former St. Regis Paper Mill, Mill Island House and Glen Island House. This part of the Site narrows to form the tip of the Site, with the River Thames forming the western boundary and the Jubilee Relief River forming the eastern boundary. There are two inlets that run into the Site, to the north and south of Mill Island House. These inlets extend as far into the Site as the Mill Buildings and where probably once part of the 19th century mill complex. 1.2.5 The Taplow Mill area is largely formed of woodland which stretches north along the east bank of the Thames. There are clear views of this area from the publically accessible Ray Mill Island, which lies to the west. 1.2.6 The southern part of Taplow Mill consists of tree lined verges along the River Thames to the west. This part of the Site is highly visible from Ray Mead Road, which runs along the western bank of the Thames in a north-south direction. 1.2.7 Further to the south the western side is visible from Ray Mead Road, which runs along the western bank of the Thames in a north-south direction. Glimpses of Mill Island House and Glen Island House are also obtained from the riverbank, whilst numerous mature trees extend down to the riverside. There are limited views of the former Mill buildings from Ray Mead Road (although the main Mill Chimney is clearly visible). The eastern boundary of the Site is more protected from long and medium distance views given the amount of vegetation, and the topography

  • 15 Road Drainage and the Water Environment
    HIGHWAYS AGENCY – M4 JUNCTIONS 3 TO 12 SMART MOTORWAY 15 ROAD DRAINAGE AND THE WATER ENVIRONMENT 15.1 Introduction 15.1.1 This chapter assesses the impacts of the Scheme on road drainage and the water environment during construction and operation, focussing on the effects of highway drainage on the quality and hydrology of receiving waters. In view of the long design-life of the Scheme (30 years for new gantries, 40 years for new carriageway construction, and 120 years for new bridges), the decommissioning phase of the Scheme has not been considered in this chapter because its effects are not predicted to be worse than the effects assessed during the construction and operational phases. The chapter assesses four principal impacts: a) effects of routine runoff on surface water bodies; b) effects of routine runoff on groundwater; c) pollution impacts from spillages; and d) flood impacts. 15.1.2 Although Interim Advice Note (”IAN”) 161/13 ‘Managed Motorways, All lane running’ (Ref 15-1) has scoped out the assessment of ‘Road Drainage and the Water Environment’ for smart motorway schemes, the assessment is required to ensure the protection of the water environment, to prevent its degradation, and ensure adequate mitigation measures are in place to prevent any adverse impacts. 15.1.3 The road drainage and water environment assessment for the Scheme has been undertaken in accordance with standard industry practice and statutory guidance. 15.1.4 This chapter details the methodology followed for the assessment, and summarises the regulatory and policy framework relating to road drainage and the water environment.

  • Sediment Impact Anaysis for the Lower Thames Flood Strategy Study
    PROCEEDINGS of the Eighth Federal Interagency Sedimentation Conference (8thFISC), April2-6, 2006, Reno, NV, USA SEDIMENT IMPACT ANAYSIS FOR THE LOWER THAMES FLOOD STRATEGY STUDY Ian M Tomes, SE Area Flood Risk Manager, Environment Agency (Thames Region), Frimley, Surrey, UK, [email protected]; Oliver P. Harmar, Consultant Geomorphologist, Halcrow Group, Leeds, UK, [email protected]; Colin R. Thorne, Professor of Physical Geography, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK, [email protected], INTRODUCTION Sediment impact assessment was performed during the Lower Thames Flood Strategy Study to assess the geomorphological sustainability of river-bed re-profiling to reduce flood risk in the reach between Datchet and Teddington. The specific objectives of the sediment study were to: i. estimate how much sediment is likely to be deposited in, or eroded from, the study reach by flows up to and including long return interval flood events for ‘do minimum’ and ‘bed reprofiling’ options that would lower the bed by 0.5 to 1 m; ii. estimate an average annual rate of sedimentation for the ‘do minimum’ and ‘bed reprofiling’ options. MORPHOLOGY OF THE RIVER THAMES The study reach of the River Thames has the characteristics of a mature, lowland river with well developed meanders and reaches divided by stable, mid-channel islands. The movement of water and sediment along the river has been controlled by locks and weirs for over a century. These structures present obstructions to the natural movement of sediment and dredging was, historically, required to maintain a navigable channel. The banks along much of the navigable river have been stabilised by revetment and, therefore, the river is unable to adjust its planform.

    DRAFT Conservation Area Character Appraisal Taplow Designated 1975 & 2006 Conservation areas were introduced through the Civic Amenities Act 1967 and are “areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character and appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance” (Section 69 (1)(a) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. This document identifies, describes and illustrates the features and characteristics that justify designation of Taplow as a Conservation Area. Any alterations or extensions to buildings within or adjacent to the Conservation Area are constrained by the need to respect the special characteristics identified in this document and in the Council’s local policies. 1 E u r o C o n s t B d D y e f M i l l R 65.5m a Pla yin g F ield c e 64.6m S S y d Taplow B t s n o k C c a o r r u T E Text anno S S e c a R l l 64.6m i M Listed Buildings 63.1m D A O R N h t E a D Existing Conservation Area E P V I L C De f H I L L F A Glen Island PropR osed Conservation Area M R O A D Produced from the Ordnance Survey Digital Mapping with the permission of the Controller of Her Majesty's Stationery Office Crown Copyright.

  • Taplow History for TPC Website / Nigel Smales (10 February 2014)
    Taplow History for TPC Website / Nigel Smales (10 February 2014) Taplow is here because it is high. The story started some 10,000 years ago when Stone Age wanderers arrived on the southerly spur of the Chilterns to discover the perfect place for a settlement – a defensible hill complete with a freshwater pool mystical for being where none should be. They began one of the oldest settlements in England, possibly the oldest in Buckinghamshire. Their Bronze Age and Iron Age successors fortified the hilltop overlooking the River Thames, for centuries a frontier fought for by Saxons, Angles and Danes, eventually the natural boundary between Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. Sometime around 620, a burial mound was piled high in the south-west corner of the hill fort. There is no historical record of any Saxon, Angle or Viking lord called Tæppa but excavations in 1883 indicated that whoever was laid here was pagan and important, possibly a king or a prince stationed here to defend the frontier. His treasures are in the British Museum, still the third- richest find from England’s Dark Ages. The mystical pool is nearby. Legend has it that St Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxfordshire), came in about 635 to embrace Taplow’s ancient pagan pomp and circumstance by adopting this as a holy place for Christian baptism. It has long been known as Bapsey Pond. The original St Nicholas’ Church was built by the Mound in the late-7th Century, replaced after 600 years, relocated to its current site in 1828 and substantially rebuilt in 1912 to incorporate the chancel of 1865.

  • Guidelines for Organising REMS Visits
    Guidelines for organising REMS visits 1. Look at the previous visit lists, which are printed below, both for ideas and to check that your suggested visit hasn’t been done within the last year. 2. Discuss your proposal with the Events Coordinator and agree a provisional date. 3. Sort out the visit logistics. 4. Create a draft flyer using the standard form, which the Events Coordinator will send you. 5. Include in the flyer the following points: a. Meeting point and start time suggestions i. try to avoid rush hour travel; ii. if possible, find a place to meet half an hour before the start for coffee and toilets; iii. if possible, don’t start the actual visit before 11 am in London; b. Description of the visit and any constraints (e.g. lots of walking, steep ascents, stairs, etc.); c. Host point of contact, if appropriate; d. Recommended travel arrangements, possibility of public transport and meeting at station; e. Instructions for late comers to join the visit; f. Lunch arrangements, if morning and afternoon visit; g. Toilet facilities during the visit; h. Cost and any limit on numbers; i. Request any information required from attendees (e.g. security arrangements, lunch booking, menu choice, etc.) 6. Make a provisional booking (REMS will pay for any deposit). 7. Tell the Events Coordinator whether the host needs paying prior to the visit or on the day and agree how REMS will pay for this cost. 8. The Events Coordinator will send the organiser a list of attendees at least a week before the visit and inform of any cancellations after that.
