The land to which this report refers comprises four separate parcels, all within Tilehurst Parish, West Berkshire. The potential development sites are described in Table 1 below: Table 1 Land at Tilehurst, site specifications Site Name Area Grid reference Stonehams Farm 3.2 hectares SU655747 Land to the East of Sulham Hill 1.4 hectares SU658739 Land to the East of Sulham Hill between Barefoot 2.2 hectares SU656742 Copse and Cornwell Copse Land to the East of Long Lane and South of Blackthorn 1.3 hectares SU654744 Close 1.2 This historic environment report provides the specific baseline conditions and likely effect of development for each of the sites described above, with a description of the archaeological and historical context and background relevant to all four sites. 1.3 Therefore this assessment consists of: a description of the policy context and method of assessment (relevant to all sites); a description of the archaeological and historic background (relevant to all sites); a discussion of the potential within each site for as yet unknown heritage assets with archaeological interest (specific to each site); a description of the baseline historic environment conditions (specific to each site); a description of the significance of the designated heritage assets within a 1km buffer of the sites, and the contribution made by setting to the significance of these assets; a description of the likely predicted effects that development within the sites could have on the historic environment (specific to each site). 1.4 The assessment has been undertaken by a full member of the Institute for Archaeologists (IfA) and in accordance with the Standard and Guidance for archaeological desk-based assessment (IfA, 2008). 2 Land at Tilehurst Historic Environment Assessment Job No. 4544.04 2.0 POLICY CONTEXT National Policy 2.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) includes as a core planning principle (paragraph 17) to “conserve heritage assets in a manner appropriate to their significance, so that they can be enjoyed for their contribution to the quality of life of this and future generations”. Section 12 of the NPPF then goes on to describe provisions specifically relating to conserving and enhancing the historic environment. 2.2 Paragraph 128 of the NPPF directs that local planning authorities should require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected, including any contribution made by their setting. The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance. 2.3 Paragraph 132 of the NPPF notes that the significance of a heritage asset can be harmed or lost through alteration or destruction of the heritage asset, or development within its setting. 2.4 Paragraph 133 of the NPPF describes how applications that would lead to substantial harm to or total loss of significance of a designated heritage asset should be refused unless it can be demonstrated that the harm is necessary to achieve substantial public benefit. Paragraph 134 of the NPPF directs that less than substantial harm should also be weighed against the public benefits of the proposal. 2.5 The glossary to the NPPF describes a heritage asset as “A building monument, site, place, area or landscape identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions, because of its heritage interest. Heritage asset includes designated heritage assets (a world heritage site, scheduled monument, listed building, protected wreck site, registered park and garden, registered battlefield, or conservation area) and assets identified by the local planning authority (including local listing)”. 2.6 Significance in relation to heritage policy as “The value of a heritage asset to this and future generations because of its heritage interest. That interest may be archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic. Significance derives not only from a heritage asset’s physical presence, but also from its setting”. 2.7 The setting of a heritage asset is defined as “the surroundings in which a heritage asset is experienced. Its extent is not fixed and may change as the asset and its surroundings evolve. Elements of a setting may make a positive or negative contribution to the significance of the asset, may affect the ability to appreciate that significance or may be neutral”. 2.8 The National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) includes additional guidance on 3 Land at Tilehurst Historic Environment Assessment Job No. 4544.04 ‘Conserving and enhancing the historic environment’. Relevant to this assessment are the topics ‘Decision-taking: historic environment’ and ‘Non-designated heritage assets’ which provide additional guidance on identifying and assessing the effects of development on the significance of heritage assets. Local Policy 2.9 The Development Plan for West Berkshire sets out local planning policies and comprises a number of different documents. Relevant to this report are the Core Strategy Development Plan Document (2006-2026) adopted in July 2012 and the West Berkshire District Local Plan 1991-2006 (Saved Policies 2007). Policy CS 19 (West Berkshire Core Strategy): Historic Environment and Landscape Character In order to ensure that the diversity and local distinctiveness of the landscape character of the District is conserved and enhanced, the natural, cultural, and functional components of its character will be considered as a whole. In adopting this holistic approach, particular regard will be given to: a) The sensitivity of the area to change. b) Ensuring that new development is appropriate in terms of location, scale and design in the context of the existing settlement form, pattern and character. c) The conservation and, where appropriate, enhancement of heritage assets and their settings (including those designations identified in Box 1). d) Accessibility to and participation in the historic environment by the local community. Proposals for development should be informed by and respond to: a) The distinctive character areas and key characteristics identified in relevant landscape character assessments including Historic Landscape

  • Report of the Independent Inquiry Into the Care and Treatment of Alexander
    REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT INQUIRY INTO THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF ALEXANDER CAMERON Commissioned by Berkshire Health Authority September 2000 PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS On 26 April 1997, Alexander Cameron killed his mother, Mrs Eileen Cameron. Mr Cameron was receiving out-patient treatment at the time, having been discharged from Fair Mile Hospital on 12 December 1994. He was admitted to a secure hospital in May 1997, and he remains detained there, having since been convicted of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. There have already been two reviews of Mr Cameron’s care and treatment during the period before his mother’s death. One of these was an internal review undertaken by members of the NHS trust which manages Fair Mile. The other was undertaken by two external consultant psychiatrists. A third review, more than two years on, was a further source of distress for Mrs Cameron’s daughter, Julie Cameron. We therefore particularly wish to acknowledge the constructive and measured way in which she and her partner helped us. We also wish to acknowledge the way in which the professionals involved in Alexander Cameron’s care and treatment worked with us during what was a difficult time for them. Their candour, and commitment to providing the best possible service to local people, was commendable. Such candour is to be encouraged because it is the ultimate test of professionalism. The mature professional who accepts that their practice, or local practice, can be improved upon thereby ensures that the future direction of the service is based, not on falsehood, but on a true, comprehensive, understanding of its current state.

  • R200165-H0022-Mediaeval Courts
    Account of Purley on Thames Mediaeval Courts R200165 15/1/2018 Introduction It was the Courts which administered England until the development of local authorities in the nineteenth century. They essentially made judgements on rights and obligations and settled disputes which previously had been settled by force of arms. After the retreat of Roman administration in the fifth century force of arms was about the only means of control, if you were strong, your word was law was the dictum. The result was several centuries of warfare and contest for power and it was only at the lowest level that matters could be decided by other means. In early Saxon times village affairs were dealt with at a village meeting known as a witangemoot. This was called whenever there were matters to decide, for example to elect a village chief, to settle a dispute or to commence a common venture such as harvest. They started out as meetings at which all had an equal say but as time went by the need for the development of specialist skills and for strong guidance resulted in the development of the social order which we would nowadays recognise as essentially feudal. As Christianity spread, a quite different approach to land ownership emerged. It was argued that as God created Heaven and Earth, it was all in his ownership, but it could he 'held' in His name. At the same time the concept of Kingship emerged and it was the King who held all land in his realm and who could allow his underlings in the social order to hold it from him and enjoy the benefits and privileges that landholding conveyed.

  • Parts of the Parish the Parish of Purley Is Comprised of a Number of Areas Each with Their Own Particular Character
    Account of Purley on Thames The Geography of Purley R200243 16/7/2017 General Description The Parish of Purley on Thames is situated approximately four miles west of Reading on the south side of the River Thames, in Berkshire. The ancient parish was 874 acres. This was increased to 1663 acres in 1891 by the addition of those parts of Whitchurch lying to the south of the Thames. In 1934 this was reduced to 1154 acres by the transfer of land between Purley and Sulham. There were approximately 3 acres of water in these totals. It is bounded by the Borough of Reading to the east, by Tilehurst and Sulham parishes to the south, by Pangbourne to the west and by Whitchurch and Mapledurham parishes across the Thames to the north. The Parish has two distinctive geographical parts. Alongside the river the land is flat and forms part of the Thames flood plain with gravelly subsoil. The floodplain rises gradually as it goes west and around to the Pang valley. The land rises sharply to the south up the north slope of the chalk hill which separates the Thames and Kennet valleys. The rise is sharpest in the east of the parish and begins at the banks of the Thames at the extreme east end. Here the Thames runs on the south side of its plain and it swings away to the north in a wide arc reaching the northern extreme of its plain from Mapledurham to Whitchurch. The slope is much more gentle to the west of the parish where it rises to a plateau which eventually ends on the escarpment above Nunhide.
