  • Lambourn Woodlands Church Plan
    LAMBOURN WOODLANDS ST. MARY’S MARCH 2021 CHURCH PLAN Part A - Current Report Part B - Survey Results of our open survey conducted in Summer and Autumn 2020, canvassing all community contacts for their reaction to Part A. The survey remains open and available at this location. Please feel free to repeat your survey response or complete the survey for the first time. Part C - Community Recommendations Minutes of any community meetings held to discuss the information available in other parts of the Church Plan. Part D - Action Plan Details of any actions agreed through Community Recommendations, assigned to community participants, Churches Conservation Trust staff, or to the Churches Conservation Trust Local Community Officer specifically. Part A - Current Report Church Introduction & Statement of Significance St Mary's Church is a redundant Anglican church in the hamlet of Lambourn Woodlands in the English county of Berkshire. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church stands on the south side of the B4000 road, some 2 miles (3 km) south of Lambourn. The church was built in 1852 and designed by the architect Thomas Talbot Bury, a pupil of Augustus Charles Pugin, in Gothic Revival style. It was declared redundant on 1 June 1990, and was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust on 24 July 1991. St Mary's is constructed in flint with stone dressings, and has slate roofs. Its plan is simple, consisting of a three-bay nave, a north aisle and a chancel.

  • HS2 Draft Environmental Statement Buckinghamshire Councils
    HS2 Draft ES: response of the Buckinghamshire Councils HS2 DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT Buckinghamshire Councils response part 3 CFA 10 Dunsmore, Wendover and Halton The area is within the Chilterns AONB – a nationally recognised and protected landscape. We feel, however, that the draft ES does not fully recognise this and suggests poor and inadequate mitigation. There are serious concerns about the impact of the maintenance loop on this community area; a concern compounded by the fact that no noise assessment has been carried out. There is also serious concern about the disruption that will be caused by HGV traffic in the area, particularly with regards to the use of some of the narrower, more rural roads. The impact of construction and operation on the setting of grade II* listed buildings within Wendover are not adequately assessed – particularly in the case of St Mary’s church, an active place of worship within 200m of the green tunnel portal. Comments on Part B: Description of the proposed scheme 2.2.2 We are concerned about impact of the maintenance loop on the wider landscape. There is very little information on the visual appearance and operation of the maintenance loop given. 2.2.5 Further, the HS2 route and maintenance loop will be on an embankment in this area increasing its visibility. We are concerned about the impact of this in particular since the draft ES suggests that Risborough Road over bridge would rise to 15m. Appropriate assessment of the visual impact and mitigation is crucial but currently not included in the draft ES.

  • Open Downland
    8. LANDSCAPE TYPE 1: OPEN DOWNLAND Location and Boundaries 8.1. The landscape type encompasses a number of distinct downland blocks from the Marlborough Downs (1A) and Horton Down (1C) in the west running through to the Lambourn Downs (1B) and Blewbury Downs (1D) in the east. Boundaries are mainly defined by topography and the Upper Chalk geology, and in the north relate to the top of the Scarp (landscape type 5). To the south, the edge of the chalk similarly forms a distinct boundary. Overview The Open Downlands are the remote heart and core of the North Wessex Downs, with the dramatic landscapes created by the underlying chalk rocks being one of the defining features of the AONB. The subtle curves and undulations of the landform are revealed by the uniform clothing of cropped grass or cereals creating a landscape with a simple and elemental quality, accentuated by vast skies. The open, expansive views are punctuated by distinctive beech clumps crowning the downland summits, forming prominent and highly visible landmarks. Sparsely populated, the downlands possess a strong sense remoteness and isolation. Predominantly in arable cultivation these are landscapes of great seasonal variation, with muted browns and greys of the chalk and flinty soils in the ploughed autumn fields, giving way to fresh greens of the emerging crops in winter and spring and sweeping yellows and golds of summer. The characteristic close-cropped springy downland turf of the surviving herb-rich chalk grassland provides an important habitat and this landscape type contains the largest areas of designated chalk grassland in the AONB, with 15 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

  • Chaddleworth Housing Needs Survey Report
    REPORT on the HOUSING NEEDS SURVEY HUNGERFORD February 2007 Arlene Kersley Rural Housing Enabler for Berkshire Contents Report Summary 1 Background 2 Housing Need Survey - Method 6 Survey Findings 7 Conclusions and Recommendations 17 Appendices 1. Comments 19 2. West Berkshire Council Policy HSG.11 29 Provision for Affordable Housing on Rural Exception Sites 3. Housing Need Questionnaire 31 Report Summary Housing Need in Hungerford This survey was conducted at the request of the Town Council in response to concerns raised during the Hungerford 2010 consultation about the need for affordable housing for local people in Hungerford. The survey was commissioned in order to identify whether there is any actual need for affordable housing in Hungerford. A brief summary of the findings follows. Survey forms were distributed to all households in Hungerford and there was a 28.7% return This represents an excellent rate of return for such a large community. From the responses the following can be determined: • There is a high level of support for developing a scheme of affordable housing to meet local need (over 70% of responses). • 107 respondents completed Part 2 of the Survey indicating some level of housing need • Of these 65 represent affordable housing need (8.7% of response). • The need is mostly for smaller 1 bedroom properties, but there is a significant need for 2 and 3 bedroom properties as well. Flexibility in design to accommodate growing families is essential. • A large number of potential sites for development have been identified. Some of these would not be acceptable in planning terms. • Any potential development must take into consideration the Hungerford 2010+ Town Plan recommendations.
