Aims and Scope Background 1.1 Oxfordshire’s draft Minerals and Waste Core Strategy was published for public consultation in September 2011. A concern was identified in the responses made by the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and North Wessex Downs AONB. This related to potential landscape impacts on the Protected Landscapes of minerals developments within two proposed broad areas for sand and gravel working at Cholsey and Caversham. This study identifies the nature of these impacts, and potential mitigation measures which could help reduce the impacts. 1.2 The impacts identified will refer both to the operational phase of any development, and restoration phases. Recommendations may help to identify potential restoration priorities, and mitigation measures. Aims 1.3 The aim of the study is to carry out an assessment of the potential landscape impacts of minerals development within two proposed areas for mineral working on the setting of Oxfordshire’s AONBs.

The remains encountered may be considered typical of this part of the Thames Valley. Some zones within the site appeared to be of lower potential. Areas of high archaeological potential have already been excluded from the development area by design.

  • South Oxfordshire District Council – New Warding Arrangements
    Council report Report of Chief Executive Author: David Buckle Telephone: E-mail: To: Council DATE: 30 August 2012 South Oxfordshire District Council – New Warding Arrangements Recommendation That Council agrees the submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England attached as Appendix A to this report Purpose of Report 1. This report invites Council to agree a submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission (LGBCE) for England on warding arrangements as it reduces in size from 48 to 36 members. Background 2. In March of this year the LGBCE commenced an electoral review at our request. In June it announced that it was minded to recommend (ultimately, parliament takes the decision) a council size of 36. This was the number that Council agreed to propose at it meeting in February. 3. The next stage of the review is to develop warding proposals. At this time the LGBCE has published nothing so we have a blank canvass on which to make proposals. However, the number of councillors we put forward must add up to 36 (or conceivably 35 or 37 if there are particular reasons justifying such a variation) and best comply with the three criteria that govern electoral reviews, all of which carry equal weight. These are: • to deliver electoral equality for voters • to provide boundaries that reflect natural communities • to provide effective and convenient local government 4. In November the LGBCE will publish its draft warding proposals and council will have an opportunity to decide its formal response to these at a meeting next X:\Committee Documents\2012-2013 Cycle (2) Aug-Oct\Council_300812\Council_300812_Warding arrangements 1 report.doc January.

  • Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet
    Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet Introduction Oxfordshire County Council has a legal duty to coordinate road works across the county, including those undertaken by utility companies. As part of this duty we can designate certain streets as ‘traffic-sensitive’, which means on these roads we can better regulate the flow of traffic by managing when works happen. For example, no road works in the centre of Henley-on-Thames during the Regatta. Sensitive streets designation is not aimed at prohibiting or limiting options for necessary road works to be undertaken. Instead it is designed to open-up necessary discussions with relevant parties to decide when would be the best time to carry out works. Criteria For a street to be considered as traffic sensitive it must meet at least one of the following criteria as set out in the table below: Traffic sensitive street criteria A The street is one on which at any time, the county council estimates traffic flow to be greater than 500 vehicles per hour per lane of carriageway, excluding bus or cycle lanes B The street is a single carriageway two-way road, the carriageway of which is less than 6.5 metres wide, having a total traffic flow of not less than 600 vehicles per hour C The street falls within a congestion charges area D Traffic flow contains more than 25% heavy commercial vehicles E The street carries in both directions more than eight buses per hour F The street is designated for pre-salting by the county council as part of its programme of winter maintenance G The street is within 100 metres of a critical signalised junction, gyratory or roundabout system H The street, or that part of a street, has a pedestrian flow rate at any time of at least 1300 persons per hour per metre width of footway I The street is on a tourist route or within an area where international, national, or significant major local events take place.

    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Newnham Murren (May 2017) • © Univ. of London • Intro. • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress NEWNHAM MURREN Introduction Newnham Farm photographed from Watery Lane. The former manor house and parochial chapel lie isolated from the village ½ mile to the north. Until its incorporation into Crowmarsh in 1932 the ancient parish of Newnham Murren stretched for 9.5 km from the river Thames in the west to the Chiltern hills in the east, traversing the whole width of Langtree hundred, and covering 1,852 acres.1 Settlement was scattered, but mostly concentrated in the village by Wallingford bridge; the parish boundary there ran along the village street, separating houses belonging to Newnham (on the street’s south side) from those of Crowmarsh Gifford on the north. Despite that division, for most practical purposes the village formed a single community with a shared identity, shaped by (but largely distinct from) the neighbouring town of Wallingford.2 By contrast Inhabitants of the parish’s upland hamlets and farmsteads forged links with neighbouring Chiltern communities such as Nuffield and Stoke Row, a division formalized in the Middle Ages by the creation of separate tithing groups for the parish’s householders on either side of the Chiltern scarp.3 The suffix Murren, recalling Newnham’s 12th- and early 13th-century lords, was added to the place name during the Middle Ages, distinguishing it from Nuneham Courtenay. Earlier, Newnham was sometimes identified by its proximity to Crowmarsh or Wallingford.4 Until the 20th century the parish was a chapelry of North Stoke 2.5 km to the south.

  • Issue No 84 Summer 2014
    ISSUE NO 84 SUMMER 2014 Since the first issue in 1987, the role of The Forty magazine has been to help to keep everyone in the village up-to-date with all that’s happening in our vibrant community. We are delighted that we now also have our very informative cholsey.info website, which has recently been joined by a new Cholsey Village Facebook Page (see page33), and for the first time we are intending to put The Forty on to the web soon after its publication! The growth of the village is reflected in the size of this issue - there’s so much going on! Lovely new venues have enabled new clubs and activities to find a home - and established activities like the Panto to find a new home. Young people in the village feature greatly in this issue, both in terms of sporting and school successes and activities like scouting. News from the Cholsey Youth Club (page 22) indicates that our newly appointed Youth Workers have plenty of initiative and great ideas. Children’s activities planned for the school holidays are Cholsey’s most ambitious yet. (pages 43 & 44) The village seems to have a growing number of budding authors, and the latest addition to our range of local history books, provides a fascinating look back over two centuries of education in Cholsey (page 25). Many of the recent and planned events demonstrate how well the various groups in Cholsey can all work together, for example May Day (page 45) involved Cholsey 1000 Plus, the Scouts, Cholsey Community Development Trust, Cholsey School, CHOKO, the Youth Club and Cholsey Day Centre.

  • Thames Crossings Near Wallingford from Roman to Early Norman Times
    Thames Crossings near Wallingford from Roman to Early Norman Times A.J. Grayson Summary This article presents evidence for the location of Roman, Anglo-Saxon, and early Norman crossings of the Thames near Wallingford. The likely crossing points to Wallingford from the east bank of the river were between Day’s Lock, near Dorchester, and Goring to the south. The two most important fords were at Shillingford and Wallingford, giving access to Wallingford from lands to the north, east, and south-east. Both were subsequently the sites of bridges, Shillingford perhaps as early as the tenth century. he purpose of this study is to review evidence for early Thames crossings which gave access to TWallingford (Oxon., formerly Berks.), and to discuss their evolution. The relevant stretch of the river is downstream from Day’s Lock, west of Dorchester, to Goring and Streatley, 8 km south of Wallingford.1 Access to Wallingford from Abingdon further north did not require a Thames crossing, while access from Goring and its hinterland to the east and south-east would have been feasible via the ford at Wallingford and, in low flow conditions, Moulsford or Goring/Streatley. Here, as elsewhere, river crossings, whether natural or man-made, were crucial in determining road alignments and to a lesser extent the location of settlements close to the river. Wallingford has been chosen as the focus for two reasons. The first is the fact that at least from the early Middle Ages Wallingford was the lowest point on the Thames with an all-season ford.2 This was no doubt important to Alfred when he chose this location for a Thames-side burh, a siting which reflects the importance given to the defence of the crossing.

  • Rare Plant Register
    1 BSBI RARE PLANT REGISTER Berkshire & South Oxfordshire V.C. 22 MICHAEL J. CRAWLEY FRS UPDATED APRIL 2005 2 Symbols and conventions The Latin binomial (from Stace, 1997) appears on the left of the first line in bold, followed by the authority in Roman font and the English Name in italics. Names on subsequent lines in Roman font are synonyms (including names that appear in Druce’s (1897) or Bowen’s (1964) Flora of Berkshire that are different from the name of the same species in Stace). At the right hand side of the first line is a set of symbols showing - status (if non-native) - growth form - flowering time - trend in abundance (if any) The status is one of three categories: if the plant arrived in Britain after the last ice age without the direct help of humans it is defined as a native, and there is no symbol in this position. If the archaeological or documentary evidence indicates that a plant was brought to Berkshire intentionally of unintentionally by people, then that species is an alien. The alien species are in two categories ● neophytes ○ archaeophytes Neophytes are aliens that were introduced by people in recent times (post-1500 by convention) and for which we typically have precise dates for their first British and first Berkshire records. Neophytes may be naturalized (forming self-replacing populations) or casual (relying on repeated introduction). Archaeophytes are naturalized aliens that were carried about by people in pre-historic times, either intentionally for their utility, or unintentionally as contaminants of crop seeds. Archaeophytes were typically classified as natives in older floras.
