THEROLEOFTHEPRESERVATIONSOCIETY

The Society was formed in 1970 as a registered charity with a Constitution to “protect, preserve and stimulate public interest in the parish” with powers reserved to a CUE of 12. Originally started by 4 local stalwarts lead by Group Captain Morris who was our ClIron the old Cookham RDC,with Lady Frank as secretary, to oppose sand and gravel extraction on the Reading beds at Beenhams. It is

essentially a pressure group supporting the PCto ward off unwanted development. Iwas involved at

an early stage and I recount 3 examples of major planning threats in which we participated:

FIRST- a well known public company, English China Clays, in 1969 acquired 11 acres behind Ivy Bank Farm from a previous owner and submitted application after application to develop the land for

housing with access onto the Street between Dolphins and the Old Post Office. I decded to confront them and acquired the minimum of 2 shares which entitled me to attend the next AGM in London,

full of shareholders and the press. I lambasted the Board for repeatedly trying to develop in a

Conservation Area. I must have got through to [he Chairman, also president of the Royal Horticultural Society, because soon after they handed the land back. It has made me realise how vulnerable we can be under the new ‘Rural Exception Site’ policy “well related” to a Recognised Settlement, in the Neighbourhood Plan.

SECOND - In 1990 we were faced with another landfill proposal, this time at Park Farm the Straight Mile part of the Haines HillEstate. The landowner came to see me at my office in Windsor to explain that he was doing a service to the community by digging an 80 acre hole for gravel extraction and

dumping Wokingham’s waste over a 20 year period. Itold him there was bound to be resistance on HGVtraffic grounds —200 a day for 2 years and 100 a day thereafter. We formed an Action Group with other villages and a member produced this ‘STOPDUMP’badge as it was fronted by a ‘Terry Adams’. We majored on the lorry traffic and David Lee, who was into haulage then, provided a huge 12 wheel truck which ‘broke down’ at the crossroads in Twyford during a Friday morning rush hour, with several of us handing out leaflets to alert residents and commuter traffic to what was to come if the application succeeded and the Advertiser photographed the demonstration. At the Public Inquiry in Shire Hall Mr Adams said to the Inspector “ and there was this man dressed as a vicar handing out

leaflets in the middle of Twyford” — we all hooted with laughter because it was the vicar, the Rev. Peter Radley, who entered into the spirit of it. The outcome was we won on traffic grounds with the Inspector saying” it would cause significant harm to the area and the highways network has substantial deficiencies”.

THIRD— by far the longest and most intensive campaign was fighting a Motorway Service Area on the M4, first at Warren Copse and Bushy Lees at SR, later at Great Hazes straddling Beenhams and

Binfield — as an aside at Bracknell Town Hallwe were horrified to hear one ClIrproclaim that this

would be the new ‘illuminated gateway to Bracknell’ — we won the vote, just!; later still at Great

Wood in , all four being ancient woodlands pre 1600 . The Warren Copse campaign lasted almost 20 years and was in 3 stages:

Stage 1—maximum publicity. We were fortunate to have in the parish a talented artist — Sheila Mannes-Abbott - who painted a picture of all the ‘flora and fauna’ in both woodlands as her letter of

protest to the Department of Transport . This was reproduced in the Sunday Times colour magazine and resulted in a huge international response with cheques sent for print copies — one is in this hall, we now had a fighting fund and articles appeared in the Sunday Times, Sunday Telegraph, London Standard and local press.

Stage 2 — the Government launched a review into MSAstandards known as the Prior Committee

Report which included a section on ‘Sitingand Spacing’. I contacted Peter Prior (the chairman of Bulmers Cider) to see if he would like to feature the issues at our proposed MSA.He readily agreed as he told me his committee was only interested in service standards. As a result we were the only site in the country to be specially featured and he condemned it as being: ‘in the wrong place’, ‘on high ground’, ‘too close to SR’,‘fullof wildlife’, ‘inthe green belt’ and ‘expensive to develop’. This was enormously helpful.

S[age 3 — with the valuable help of our own MP, Dr Glyn for both Windsor and , he successfully lobbied 3 different Transport Ministers which resulted in no less than 3 statements in Parliament that an MSAwould not be built at Warren Copse — the final statement is reproduced on that picture. The press photographed the Minister, the MP and rue on the footbridge over the M4; we had won the battle of Warren Copse and Reading Services sits on a reclaimed rubbish dump at Theale exactly equidistant between Heston and Membury — 30 miles apart.

But I want the last word to go to the artist, who sadly is no longer with us, she published ‘The Four Seasons; the life of the English countryside’; taken from the picture with a short extract from her forward:

“InJanuary 1978 the Sunday Times published an artist’s ‘letter of protest’ Warren Copse, which became her most celebrated picture. A keen conservationist she spent five months on the painting in her effort to protect a threatened woodland from motorway planners. lts publication aroused strong international interest and largely resulted in the Department of Transport cancelling the project”.

Much more recently we engaged and funded an expert on flooding through the ‘Institute of Hydrology’ at the first Traveller Public Inquiry, which established that most of the site was in the high risk flood zone 3.

Our role is essentially to support the PCin fighting major development proposals — we face constant pressures, but we have the funds, the contacts e.g a planning barrister and a solicitor, and the supporters but we do always need more members and that means youl

of need feeding most, which is in the spring and early autumn. In 2015 we completed a major project to construct a storage lagoon for this material at Church Farm. We went to great effort to design and locate this lagoon where it would have minimal impact on the Parish. Since we have started using this material there is a noticeable difference in the health and appearance of the crops where it is applied compared to where it is not. Allthese ingredients are part a major plan to make our business as sustainable as possible for the future extremes of weather and market.

On a final note can Ithank the vast majority of parishioners for their patience and understanding when we go through our busiest fimes, especially during harvest.
