    RESIDENTIAL PLANNING COMMITMENTS AT 31 MARCH 2020 Information on the progress of residential development between 1 April 2019 and 31 March 2020 in Reading Borough READING BOROUGH COUNCIL – RESIDENTIAL COMMITMENTS 2020 RESIDENTIAL PLANNING COMMITMENTS AT 31 MARCH 2020 Information on the progress of residential development between 1 April 2019 and 31 March 2020 in Reading Borough Published June 2020 - 1 - READING BOROUGH COUNCIL – RESIDENTIAL COMMITMENTS 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This publication looks at commitments for housing in Reading Borough at 31 March 2020. It deals with change in the number of dwellings, based on the planning process. It includes those sites that have planning permission (hard commitments) and those that have been identified in principle as being suitable for housing development (soft commitments). The key net figures for Reading Borough for the monitoring year 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 are summarised below: With Total hard Newly permission Under commitments Soft Total hard permitted Completed Lapsed but not construction outstanding commitments and soft dwellings started (N/S + U/C) 492 3,754 1,633 5,387 8,797 14,184 524 104 Completion numbers are at a relatively low level this year compared to the strong delivery over recent years, and are below the Local Plan annual target of 689 dwellings. The exceptionally high number of dwellings under construction would under normal circumstances have suggested that this is more likely to be down to natural fluctuation, with high completion levels to be expected in forthcoming years. However, the social distancing measures introduced near the end of the monitoring year which affected construction sites, and the likelihood of a recession as a result of Covid-19 measures means that there is significant uncertainty.

  • 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.
