It was published for public consultation between 29 November 2010 and 17 January 2011. Regulations 18(4) (a) and(b) of the Town and County Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004: (a)they have considered any representations; and (b) have prepared a statement setting out (i) a summary of the main issues raised; and (ii) how these main issues have been addressed in the SPD to be adopted. 1.3 This Statement of Consultation summarises the consultations undertaken during the production of the SPD including the statutory consultation on the Warfield SPD Consultation Draft as described above. It sets out in two main sections: The Warfield SPD Consultation Draft (Nov 2010) (document reference WL2) - a summary of the issues from each representation made; how the Council has considered each issue and any action taken to amend or otherwise the final Warfield SPD. The Detailed Concept Plan (Nov 2011) (document reference WL22) - summary of the issues made; how the Council has considered each issue and any action taken to amend or otherwise the Concept Plan and the final Warfield SPD. Consultation 1.4 The engagement undertaken in preparing the Warfield SPD has been carried out in line with the following: Statutory requirements, The adopted Statement of Community Involvement (SCI), July 2006 (available at www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/sci) (see Appendix 1 of this Statement); and, The Bracknell Forest Partnership Community Engagement Strategy, May 2009 – 2012 (available at www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/community-engagement-strategy-2009-to-2012.pdf) (see Appendix 1 of this Statement) 1.5 In the preparation of the Warfield SPD, Bracknell Forest Council has comprehensively consulted with a range of key and statutory organisations to help assess the scope of the SPD, including: Local resident groups and organisations. Statutory bodies and organisations. Land owners and their planning representatives. Prospective Developers. 4 www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/warfield The general public. Others with an interest in the site. 1.6 There have been a number of consultations on the Warfield SPD which have been used to prepare the final Warfield SPD. The Warfield SPD, has therefore been informed by the following consultations. The Warfield SPD Consultation Draft (Nov 2010) 1.7 The Warfield SPD Consultation Draft was published for public consultation between 29th November 2010 and 17th January 2011 in accordance with the appropriate statutory regulations. This document set out the planning policy framework to guide a comprehensive, mixed use development at Warfield including 2,200 new dwellings and associated infrastructure services, open space and facilities. Additionally, the document set out the principles of design and a draft concept plan. Details of the consultation including who were consulted and how the consultation was undertaken can be viewed in the Warfield SPD Consultation Draft Proforma (document reference WL8). The Council also published a Statement of Consultation to meet the requirements of Regulation 17(b) (document reference WL5). 1.8 The Council received 279 separate representations from 235 individuals and organisations. Many of the representations made one or more comments on different parts of the SPD Consultation Draft. 1.9 The consultation ran in parallel with the consultation on the Site Allocation Development Plan Document Preferred Options stage and some representations relating to Warfield did not specify which of the two consultations they related to. The Council used a pragmatic approach in assigning particular responses to either of the two consultations. In any doubtful cases they were assigned to both documents. Where appropriate, part of the representation was assigned to the Warfield SPD and the remainder to the Site Allocations DPD. 1.10 In administering and considering the representations, the following process was undertaken: 1. All Warfield SPD specific representations were acknowledged and assigned a Warfield SPD Representation Number. 2. All Warfield SPD specific representations were printed and filed, together with all the representations made on the Site Allocations DPD Preferred Options stage. They were filed in alphabetical order and made available for public viewing by visiting the Council offices at Time Square. 3. All the responses relating to the Warfield SPD have been read and the comments made were assigned to particular paragraphs of the Warfield SPD Consultation Draft. They were then copied, verbatim, against the relevant paragraphs in the Council's online system called Objective, which is available at http://consult.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/portal/planning/warfield/warfieldcd 4. A summary of each comment was produced in a document called The Summary of Responses to the Warfield SPD Consultation Draft (document reference WL20), in tables which were organised by the type of respondent (e.g. Responses from Statutory Consultees). Each representation within these tables appears under the respondent's www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/warfield 5 name (or organisation name), then against the relevant paragraph in the Consultation Draft SPD. 5. This Consultation Statement was then produced which in section 2, takes each of these comment summaries by paragraph, and groups them under the relevant chapter in the Consultation Draft SPD under the relevant Rep No. There, a specific officer's Response has been placed against each comment which demonstrates that all the main issues have been consider by the Council. Underneath each Council response under the Action heading it describes either the necessary changes to the final SPD or states that no changes to the SPD are required. Existing text from the Consultation Draft SPD is shown in italics. The changes to the Consultation Draft SPD are shown as either deletions (as strikethrough) or through new text (in bold and underlined). The Detailed Concept Plan (Oct 2011) 1.11 The Detailed Concept Plan was a non-statutory consultation which was undertaken as a response to the call for more consultation as requested during the statutory stage described above. The consultation was carried out between Monday 31st October 2011and Monday 28th November 2011. The consultation included a detailed concept plan, streetscenes, examples of character areas, photos and sections through the site to sit alongside some guiding text. The intention was to help members of the public visualise how the development might look in key areas of the site. Details of about the consultation include who were consulted and how the consultation was undertaken can be viewed in the Detailed Concept Plan Consultation Proforma (document reference WL24). 1.12 Responses were received from 215 individuals and organisations. Verbatim copies of all those who responded are available in the Council's online planning portal. A summary of the main issues raised from this consultation can be viewed in section 3 of this statement. Each of these issue have been considered in their corresponding response and action. Here the Council has either detailed necessary changes to the Concept Plan or SPD text or stated that no changes are required. Existing text from the Consultation Draft SPD is shown in italics. The changes to the Consultation Draft SPD are shown as either deletions (as strikethrough) or through new text (in bold and underlined). 1.13 As part of this consultation, officers held three public exhibitions in which members of the public had the opportunity to questions officers about The

  • Jealott's Hill, Warfield Technical Summary
    JEALOTT’S HILL, WARFIELD TECHNICAL SUMMARY/OVERVIEW NOTE ON ECOLOGICAL CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES Executive Summary Development at the Jealott’s Hill site offers the opportunity to create extensive areas of new species and wildflower-rich mesotrophic grassland, through the reversion of arable land and through the diversification of existing improved grassland currently in agricultural use. Small patches of existing more diverse semi-improved grassland around the current research campus buildings could also form the basis of a significant project to create or restore new areas of ‘lowland meadow’ priority habitat; either through their retention and positive management in situ to promote enhancement, or through the use of the soil seed bank in these areas to diversify larger parts of the rural hinterland of the estate currently in agricultural use. Existing species-rich hedgerows can also be subject to positive future management using traditional conservation-friendly methods such as laying, with older hedgerows prioritised for retention within the layout, and new species-rich native hedgerows planted in conjunction with the proposals. Existing ponds can be subject to ecological restoration to improve their suitability for a range of species including aquatic invertebrates, amphibians, foraging bats and hunting Grass Snake. The habitats present both on site and in the wider area are likely to support a range of fauna of varying ecological importance including; amphibians, reptiles, breeding and overwintering birds (particularly farmland birds), mammals such as bats and Badgers, and invertebrate assemblages. The scale of the proposals and large areas of proposed Green Infrastructure being brought forward will provide the means to deliver new habitat for these species and this will be informed by further ecological survey work in due course.
