The West Berkshire Council web site and documents explain VDS as: “Town and Village Design Statements are about encouraging development to be carried out in a way that is in harmony with its setting and makes a positive contribution to the local environment. By describing the qualities and characteristics that people value in their villages and surroundings, local communities can have an input into the planning process.” Before a VDS is embarked upon, residents need to be aware of what it entails and the possible impact on any development within our community. At the meeting, speakers from West Berkshire Council, the Parish Council, and other parishes will detail the expected content of a VDS and its place in the planning process, with indications of how it can be helpful. Come along, be informed and get involved in a project which will have a positive effect on our parishes for years to come. If you are interested in viewing Village Design Statements from other parishes which have already been produced and adopted by West Berkshire Council, go to the direct link on the West Berkshire Council web site: www.westberks.gov.uk/index.aspn?articleid=4433 Village hall news by Ann Robertson Thank you to all who attended the Revue The annual plant sale takes place at the hall Night.

I refer to the letter dated February 20th from the developer’s highway consultants RPS in response to my previous memorandum dated February 13th 2009. RPS have confirmed that there will be a maximum of 814 construction workers. Having regards to the construction workers at AWE Aldermaston, 62 % of workers travelled to the site by car. RPS therefore confirm that overall 538 spaces will be required, of which 300 will be provided in the new car park at Pingewood Gate, with workers coached to the construction enclave. An additional 130 car parking spaces will be provided within AWE Burghfield and the construction enclave accessed from Pingewood Gate, with a further 138 provided within existing areas accessed from the Main Gate. It would therefore seem that there will be sufficient car parking provided within the site. 2. I refer to the latest drawing of the off site highway works RPS drawing number JNY6430/002-E.

    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.

A public consultation process will now help to determine which site is selected. The sites, which already hold radioactive materials, are either owned by MOD, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) or industry. They are: • the Atomic Weapons Establishment sites at Aldermaston and Burghfield in Berkshire which are owned by MOD and run by AWE plc; • Sellafield in west Cumbria, owned by the NDA; • Chapelcross in Dumfriesshire, owned by the NDA; • Capenhurst in Cheshire, which is run by Capenhurst Nuclear Services.

  • Parts of the Parish the Parish of Purley Is Comprised of a Number of Areas Each with Their Own Particular Character

    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.
