It takes account of proposed Main Modifications to the Local Plan which are the subject of consultation from 11 November until 23 December 2016 and therefore supersedes the previous draft IDP which was published in July 2015. 1.2 By ‘infrastructure’ we mean essential services and facilities such as schools, roads, water, gas and electricity and open space. Typical Infrastructure Types West Oxfordshire Infrastructure Delivery Plan 2016 1 1.3 New development often puts existing infrastructure under pressure, creating a need for new or improved facilities to be provided. A good example would be a new housing development proposed where the nearest school is already full.

  • Caversham (August 2019) • © VCH Oxfordshire • Economic Hist
    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Caversham (August 2019) • © VCH Oxfordshire • Economic Hist. • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress Caversham Economic History Until the mid 19th century Caversham’s economy was based on mixed farming, woodland exploitation, and milling and other rural crafts, with neighbouring Reading providing a ready market from the Middle Ages onwards. From c.1850, as Reading expanded following the arrival of the railway, Caversham’s southern part developed larger-scale manufacturing, retail, and service businesses, as well as becoming a dormitory for working- and middle- class incomers employed in Reading itself. By 1908 such people made up around half of the parish’s total population. Industry declined in the mid 20th century, although a moderately successful retail and service sector continued in the early 21st. The Agricultural Landscape Like its neighbours the parish extended from the Thames into the Chiltern foothills, giving access to a typical mixture of meadows, open-field arable, closes, and coppice woods. Meadowland was concentrated on low-lying ground close to the river, while the main open fields, well established by the late 12th century1 and enclosed in the 1830s, surrounded Caversham and Lower Caversham immediately to the north.2 Amongst the larger fields were Hemdean, Balmer and West field, with Borough and Grove fields further east.3 The field name ‘Breach’ suggests medieval expansion of cultivation in the far south-east, although from c.1200 expansion north of there was restricted by the presence of a deer park.4 The somewhat less fertile central and northern parts of the parish were characterized by early enclosure,5 though still intermixed, in the 16th century, with numerous mainly small open fields, of which all except Lye field were enclosed before 1834.6 Medieval and later woodland was concentrated in the north and east, though much clearance had taken place by the 18th century.
