One beekeeper from Cumbria says that so far, this season is the worst that he has experienced; queen-raising over the country appears to have been erratic. In our own area some varieties of oil seed rape have yielded heavily whilst where there is no rape, honey yields have been poor or non-existent, most of June was dry and latterly hot, this did not help, hopefully rain at the end of the month will have helped. For most beekeepers in our area, at the end of July nectar secretion will have all but ceased and colonies will have been contracting.

Residential Planning Commitments at 31 March 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 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.
