9 Ecology and Nature Conservation HIGHWAYS AGENCY – M4 JUNCTIONS 3 TO 12 SMART MOTORWAY 9 ECOLOGY AND NATURE CONSERVATION 9.1 Introduction 9.1.1 This chapter provides the assessment of the potential effects of the construction and operation phases of the Scheme on Ecology and Nature Conservation. A desk-based study and field surveys, undertaken between 2009 and 2015, have been used to underpin this assessment. Technical supporting data are provided in Appendix 9.1 and Confidential Appendix 9.2. 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), and as no impacts are predicted during the decommissioning phase of the Scheme which have not already been identified and assessed for the construction and operational phases, effects as a result of decommissioning have been scoped out of this assessment. 9.1.2 The assessment has been undertaken for the following receptors: statutory and non-statutory designated sites, habitats and plants, terrestrial invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, birds, bats, dormice ( Muscardinus avellanarius ), water voles ( Arvicola terrestris ), otters ( Lutra lutra ), and badgers ( Meles meles ). 9.1.3 To prevent unnecessary injury or death to badgers and having regard to the Protection of Badgers Act 1992, all information related to badgers (including survey methodology, baseline information, mitigation and residual effects and cumulative effects), is presented in Confidential Appendix 9.2. Release of Confidential Appendix 9.2 will only be to the Planning Inspectorate (the “Inspectorate”), and on request from suitably qualified professionals. 9.1.4 Direct and indirect effects on nature conservation as a result of the Scheme have been considered. These include, but are not limited to, disturbance, injury or killing of individuals, and destruction or fragmentation of habitats including, noise disturbance and pollution (air quality and surface/ground water pollution). ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT CHAPTER 9 ECOLOGY AND NATURE CONSERVATION MARCH 2015 PAGE 9-1 HIGHWAYS AGENCY – M4 JUNCTIONS 3 TO 12 SMART MOTORWAY 9.1.5 This chapter details the methodology followed for the assessment, and summarises the regulatory and policy framework relating to nature conservation. It then discusses Scheme-wide considerations which outline both where receptors are present within the study area and generic mitigation. Following this, the baseline, specific mitigation and residual effects of the Scheme are discussed for each link of the Scheme from west (junction 12) to east (junction 3). Cumulative effects are then discussed, followed by limitations encountered in compiling the assessment. Finally, a summary table is provided. 9.1.6 All drawings referenced within this chapter are presented in Document Reference 6.2 (ES Figures), and all appendices referenced in this chapter are presented in Document Reference 6.3 (ES Appendices). 9.2 Methodology General approach 9.2.1 The assessment methodology has been based on the guidance provided in the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management ("IEEM") Guidelines (Ref 9-1), which focus on those activities that could potentially generate significant effects on valued receptors, in accordance with Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (“DMRB”) Volume 11, Section 3, Part 4, ‘Ecology and Nature Conservation’ (Ref 9-2) and Interim Advice Note (“IAN”) 130/10 ‘Ecology and Nature Conservation: Criteria for Impact Assessment’ (Ref 9-3). In line with the IEEM Guidelines’ requirements, this chapter makes reference to desk-based and field survey work previously undertaken in order to assist the assessment process. 9.2.2 When applying the methodologies set out below, professional judgement has been used in the: valuation of receptors; characterisation of effects; assessment of the likely success of mitigation measures to address these effects; and assessment of the likely residual effects after mitigation. 9.2.3 The approach to defining the baseline and assessing effects is set out below. 9.2.4 Throughout the chapter, specific locations are referred to by chainages and Target Notes ("TN"). Chainages are shown at every 100m along the motorway on Drawing 9.2. TNs provide additional information to support the phase 1 survey and are shown on Drawing 9.2. The ‘soft estate’ is referenced throughout the chapter; this term refers to all vegetated land inside the existing motorway boundary fence. ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT CHAPTER 9 ECOLOGY AND NATURE CONSERVATION MARCH 2015 PAGE 9-2 HIGHWAYS AGENCY – M4 JUNCTIONS 3 TO 12 SMART MOTORWAY Consultation 9.2.5 Natural England (“NE”) and local authorities were consulted on the Scoping Report and Preliminary Environmental Information Report. This included a teleconference on 11 February 2015. Study area 9.2.6 The study area for this assessment has been defined by determining the zone of influence of the Scheme in relation to each of the receptors, including the extent to which direct effects caused by land take and habitat loss may be experienced by those receptors and the extent of indirect effects, such as receptors’ prey species being affected by the Scheme. 9.2.7 The zone of influence is different for each of the receptors assessed and, therefore, the study area has been defined for each one in turn in Table 9.1 and are shown on Drawing 9.1. The data search study areas listed in the table below are measured from the edge of carriageway, unless stated otherwise. The study area is larger for desk-based searches as this provides a wider understanding of what species are likely to be using the field survey study area and Order limits. 9.2.8 Throughout the link-by-link description, where designated sites or species fall within the study area of two links, these are considered in both links.

    Borough Local Plan 2013 - 2033 Submission version Borough Local Plan: Submission Version (2017) 1 Foreword Foreword by Leader of the Council and the Lead Member for Planning We are delighted to present the Borough Local Plan for the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. The Borough Local Plan promotes a sustainable pattern of development for the Borough until 2033. The new development that is proposed in this plan aims to provide for new housing and affordable housing to fulfil the needs of all of our residents, whilst at the same time protecting our valued natural and built historic environment and assets. The plan aims to protect and enhance those elements that make our Borough special in the eyes of not only our residents but all those who choose to visit, work and invest in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. We are privileged to be home to one of the most recognisable and valued historic assets in the country, Windsor Castle and the Windsor Great Park which the Borough Local Plan seeks to protect not only for our own benefit but also for future generations. The Borough Local Plan is based on a substantial and robust evidence base and on the results of the consultation exercises we have carried out in the past, as guided by national policy and legislation. We have worked with partners including our neighbouring local authorities, statutory bodies and local communities and agencies, as well as considering the many emerging and adopted Neighbourhood Development Plans being prepared by parishes and neighbourhood forums. Planning often presents difficult choices and requires a balance of national policy and local wishes.

  • R200608 TOWB Feb 2019.Dtp
    Account of Purley on Thames Tales of West Berkshire 2019 R200608 20/2/19 By Rick Jones published in Purley Parish News 2019 February WBC is launching a Lottery in the spring. The aim is to raise money for local good causes, which will be in addition to the commissions and grants that Council already provides directly to the Voluntary Sector. Recently, an event was held to brief charities, voluntary organisations and other good causes about the lottery, and how they should register to receive benefit. For the public, it works like this: When you buy a ticket for £1, you can specify which of the registered good causes you wish to receive money from the lottery. 60p of the ticket cost will go to good causes, the rest to prizes and administering the scheme. If you do not have a preference, you can leave it to the lottery panel to distribute fairly among those organisations registered. Please encourage any good causes locally that you are aware of, to apply. One parishioner asked if we could do anything to help our swans. Apparently advice that bread is not good for them has resulted in them not being fed at all, so they are getting nothing and starving. As far as I know, there is only one family in Purley, though more of course in Reading and Pangbourne. Now, the advice is please feed them - bread is not harmful, other foods even better! Everyone is aware that the Council is responsible for roads and verges, pavements and some footpaths. Responsibility is split between the Highways and Countryside departments.

What is the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)? A. The Community Infrastructure Levy is a planning charge, introduced by the Planning Act 2008 as a tool for local authorities in England and Wales to help deliver infrastructure to support the development of their area. A proportion of this money is paid to the Parish Council in which the development took place. The Levy came into force on 6 April 2010 through the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010. Q. Why does Holybrook Parish Council have £78,987.02 to spend? A. Holybrook Parish Council has received two separate payments following eligible development in our Parish: Lidl (A4 Bath Road) - £52,434.13 Bellway (Mill Lane) - £26,552.89 Q. Why can’t the money be spent on anything? The Levy can only be used for a) the provision, improvement, replacement, operation or maintenance of infrastructure; or b) anything else that is concerned with addressing the demand that development places on an area. There are three broad categories of infrastructure: GREEN (parks, woodlands, play areas ...), PHYSICAL (highways, transport links, cycle ways ...) and SOCIAL (education, sport and community halls …) Q. Why does Holybrook Parish Council need my feedback? A.
