Increased Scope SFRA and Sequential Testing of Sites a Technical Report Supporting the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead Borough Local Plan Increased Scope SFRA and Sequential Testing of Sites A Technical Report Supporting the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead Borough Local Plan Published in January 2014 Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Planning & Property Services Town Hall St Ives Road Maidenhead SL6 1RF STRATEGIC FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT (SFRA) Increased Scope SFRA and Sequential Testing of Sites Updated Flood Mapping and January 2014 Flood Event in the Royal Borough Subsequent to the production of this Increased Scope SFRA and Sequential Testing of Sites, it should be noted that in December 2013, the Environment Agency published updated Flood Maps. These and any subsequent revised Flood Maps will be taken into account in the next update of the SFRA which will also inform an update of this Increased Scope report. This report was also produced prior to the storm event of January 2014. As a result of heavy rainfall and existing ground conditions, a number of areas in the Royal Borough were affected by fluvial flooding from the River Thames and other watercourses, and other areas were affected by groundwater flooding or surface water flooding. The Council has sought to record information associated with this storm and any future update of this report, including any sequential testing of additional sites will take this into account.

FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT (SFRA) Increased Scope SFRA and Sequential Testing of Sites 1 Introduction 1.1 Context and Purpose 1. This report should be read in conjunction with the Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) published in January 2014, the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) and the Employment Land Review. 2. There are two parts to this report, the first part being an ‘Increased Scope’ SFRA. The purpose of the Increased Scope SFRA is to provide more detailed flood risk evidence on 89 sites identified by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead as being potential allocation sites within its proposed Borough Local Plan (BLP). The BLP will provide a policy framework, strategy and development management policies to help guide proposals for development over the next 15 years. It will also include housing, employment and other site allocations. 3. The information provided on the sites is then used to undertake the second part of the report, the Sequential Test, which aims to meet the requirement of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) to allocate development in areas of lowest flood risk (i.e. Flood Zone 1) where they are reasonable available. Where there are no available sites in Flood Zone 1, sites in Flood Zone 2 can be considered followed by Flood Zone 3 applying the Exception Test if required. This report highlights key elements that should be considered by developers undertaking Flood Risk Assessments to satisfy the second part of the Exception Test in terms of ensuring the safety of a site. 4. This report centres on potential residential and employment development in the Royal Borough and through the provision of detailed flood evidence on sites and the application of a sequential testing methodology, aims to steer development away from areas vulnerable to flooding. The list of sites that have been assessed in this report were those subject to consultation between November 2012 and January 2013. This included urban sites as well as the previously developed sites in the Green Belt that were all included in the consultation. They were tested against relevant site data sources including the Strategic

Introduction from the Co-Chairs of the Steering Group Welcome on behalf of the Steering Group for the Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale Neighbourhood Plan. In early 2010, the two Parishes of Sunninghill & Ascot and Sunningdale were offered a great opportunity by the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead to come together and become a Front Runner Neighbourhood Plan, as enabled by the government’s Localism proposals. It’s been a long journey of 3 years, with full-scale consultation leading to the delivery of this Plan. The Ascot, Sunninghill & Sunningdale Neighbourhood Plan (NP) Steering Group has been led by local residents (volunteers), with the aim of preparing a Plan that will deliver the long term goals of a balanced and vibrant neighbourhood. Since September 2010 we have held many public meetings, online and paper consultations, to seek the views of local residents and other stakeholders, groups and businesses who share an interest in our neighbourhood area. An active website has allowed everyone to keep up to date with our progress and to make contact with us. All involved in developing the Neighbourhood Plan have listened very carefully to all the feedback received through all these consultations and have worked hard to ensure that the Plan incorporates and reflects the views of the community.

  • The Vicar's Letter
    The Vicar’s Letter The Vicarage, Waltham Road, (corner of Foliejohn Way) Woodlands Park Telephone 01628 822000 Dear Friends, For the past couple of days, our house has been under siege — from a jay. There is a pair of them building a nest in a large tree just across the road, and while one busies itself pulling apart a small tree in our garden to provide nesting material, the other has decided to try to get into the house. Indeed, even as I write this, it is pecking at the window behind me. It’s tried all the windows on this side of the house: pecking and scratching, high up and low down, perched on the sill or hovering with its wings. And it’s left messy marks, some apparently of its own blood, all over some of them. For a bird which is meant to be (relatively) intelligent, it is proving itself to be remarkably thick. I’ll give it full marks for persistence, but you’d have thought it ought to have learned by now that there really is no way in. I can’t imagine what it hopes to gain by coming in, but what is certain is that its goal is unattainable, and all it will achieve is to waste a lot of time and effort getting hugely frustrated and more than likely hurting itself in the process. Coincidentally, I’ve also been reading the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes. It’s a ruthless exposure of how we humans often behave in ways which are really quite similar.

  • Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale Neighbourhood Plan – Evidence Base Master Summary
    Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale Neighbourhood Plan – Evidence Base Master Summary ASCOT, SUNNINGHILL AND SUNNINGDALE NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN – EVIDENCE BASE MASTER SUMMARY ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES POLICY NP/EN1 – GREEN BELT INTRODUCTION & CONTEXT 66.5% of our NP area is in Green Belt and there is strong community support for protecting it, especially where it helps retain the separation between the villages and contributes to the semi-rural, green and leafy nature of our neighbourhood. We have a number of MDSs in our area, which include Heatherwood Hospital site, Silwood Park, Sunningdale Park and also some areas of Previously Developed Land (PDLs) in Green Belt, including Silwood Park and Shorts site and we recognise national and local plan policies which allow redevelopment of these (subject to constraints). During the development of the Plan, Ascot was identified as a centre which would benefit from improvement. Following The Prince’s Foundation ‘Enquiry by Design’ and further community consultations, it became clear that there was overall majority support from the local community for development in part of the Green Belt around Ascot Centre. We recognise that redrawing of GB boundaries can only be done by the local authority but we have been liaising very closely with RBWM and they are fully aware and supportive of our GB policy. The Ascot case however is seen as a very specific exception and the sentiment is strong that the rest of the Green Belt should be strongly protected. We recognise that there is provision in national government policy for development to be permitted in GB if there are “very special circumstances”.

  • Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead Planning Committee
    ROYAL BOROUGH OF WINDSOR & MAIDENHEAD PLANNING COMMITTEE DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PANEL 17 February 2021 Item: 3 Application 20/03418/FULL No.: Location: Land Adjacent To The Drawery Windsor Great Park Windsor Proposal: Change of use of land for construction of film set and use of associated land for parking and storage purposes for a 5 year period Applicant: Mr Hood Agent: Mrs J Long Parish/Ward: Sunninghill And Ascot Parish/Ascot & Sunninghill If you have a question about this report, please contact: Susan Sharman on 01628 685320 or at [email protected] 1. SUMMARY 1.1 The proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt and would result in loss of openness in the Green Belt and lead to encroachment of development in the countryside. This harm to the Green Belt is given substantial weight. In addition, the proposed development, on an existing open field, would be an incongruous feature harmful to the rural character and appearance of the area and detrimental to the recreational value of the adjacent public footpath. Accordingly, significant weight is given to this harm. 1.2 Due to insufficient information, it has not been demonstrated that the proposal would not adversely affect protected species or their habitats within the vicinity of the site. Accordingly, significant weight is given to this potential harm. 1.3 Although Permitted Development Rights exist that would enable the change of use of the land for filming purposes, together with the siting of structures required in association with filming, this relates to a significantly smaller area (1.5 hectares) compared to the application site.
