Members' Update MEMBERS’ UPDATE Planning Committee – 21 July 2010 _____________________________________________________________ Site Address: Hillside Primary School, Rushey Way, Lower Earley An additional pedestrian access gate to the east side of the Hillside site was requested by Councilors. The Headteacher and Governors are of the view that this will significantly increase their security risk, pointing out that, despite the school’s CCTV installation, there have been 9 attempted break-ins at the school during the last 12 months of which 3 were successful. All of these intruders gained access via the pedestrian gates off Halls Lane and Steeple Walk. The School is therefore most reluctant to introduce another point of potential weakness in the perimeter fence. A report from Thames Valley Policy highlighting the security risk arising from the perimeter gates: It has been brought to my attention that there is a possibility of a gate being put in near the orchard. 1. This would give another access point that would need to be secured during and after the school day. 2. At present all entrances to the school have a good field of view, the orchard gate would not. There is also the possibility of people externally of the school talking or even coaxing pupils to engage in an unsupervised manner. 3. This would make it easier for access by parents when bringing the pupils to school but for the sake of 100m is that worth potential complications to site security. 4. At night it would also give potential thieves another entry and escape route again not clearly visible from the general public. These are just a few of the concerns I have in my role. Les Eke Safer Schools Partnership and Youth Engagement Officer Woodley Police Post Headley Road Woodley RG5 4JZ For these reasons Children’s Services do not support this suggestion either. In addition to the above, an additional pedestrian gate at the South-east corner of the school site, as suggested, would lead directly into a heavily planted area and then onto the playing field, resulting in the need for a new pedestrian path, approximately 100m in length, to reach the school buildings. It should however be noted that the concerns expressed regarding the pedestrian route to the school from Chalfont Way may be largely overcome if parents, children and visitors are directed to the Halls Lane gate (north side of the school site), by following the pedestrian/cycle route around the East and North boundaries of the school as this is wider, better lit and less enclosed by trees and shrubs than the pedestrian path leading to Steeple Walk gate. The Halls Lane gate has the added advantage of leading directly into the school’s playground. A detailed plan of the proposed site including all proposed changes is included at Appendix 1. The travel plan needs to ensure the drop off area is staffed and car drivers are encouraged to move on quickly. This could include putting notices on cars that are left too long. The Highways team have considered plans of possible drop off options which will be available for display at committee if required. Site Address: The Coombes Primary School, School Road Application No: , Pages 23 - 35. Condition 2 should read ‘The portable building hereby approved shall be removed and the land restored in accordance with a scheme to have first been agreed with the Local Planning Authority in writing Condition 5 should read ‘The building hereby approved shall not be occupied until a programme and design for a drop off area has been submitted and approved by the Local Planning Authority in writing. The programme shall include details of how the existing layby will be signed and managed as a temporary drop of zone until such time as the works are carried out and completed. In any event the agreed scheme shall be implemented within 2 months of occupation of the development. The drop off area shall be clearly marked out on site and shall only be used for short term drop off and not used for parking, unless otherwise agreed by the LPA.’ Comments have not been received from Sport England however the school has confirmed that the area to be used for parking does not form part of the playing pitches and as such there would be no unacceptable loss of open space as explained in the committee report. The Landscape Officer has received further information regarding trenching for utilities and is satisfied that the proposal would not harm trees or landscape features and no conditions have been recommended. Members have requested that the proposed parking area be surfaced with grasscrete and that this be ensured by way of condition. As such condition 7 is recommended as follows ‘The parking area shown on drawing number 1157/04-TCR-R1 received 30 June 2010 shall be constructed from grasscrete unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority.’ In response to a question from Cllr Cowan regarding the provision of a footpath from The Legion, comments have been provided by Rebecca Walkley, Countryside Officer. ‘This issue was raised with the Countryside Service in 2004 by Cllr. Cowan as he wanted us to investigate the possibility of extending the path to meet with Link Way or School Road. Currently, the path ends at the back of the houses on Link Way. We approached the land owners in 2005 to ask to make the link to Arborfield School. However, the land owners could not agree to this and the only way forward then as now is to make a Creation Order under s.26 of the Highways Act. If either or both of the landowners objected to such an order, the order would have to be referred to the Secretary of State, who may decide the matter by written representations, a hearing or a public inquiry. Cllr. Cowan was sent this information in 2005. The Council would therefore have to be prepared to meet the costs of making the order (advertising mainly- around £1500), defending it possibly at an inquiry (up to £3,000), compensation for any loss in value of land (unknown amount - guesstimate of around £5,000 per Km strip), and the works which would be necessary (surfacing and fencing). We would need to get a professional land agent to give us the land value information.’ Cllr Cowan has requested information regarding where the S106 money has been spent in relation to application F/2000/1994 for 300 houses at Baird Road. Given the length of time since this development, the information is not readily available and as such is not available for the committee tonight, however it will be provided in due course. Given that it is not directly related to the Coombes application it should not impede Members decision making. Site Address: Asda Stores Ltd., Lower Earley District Centre, Chalfont Way, Earley Application No: , Pages 36 - 52 On page 46 para 19 – Sentence stating “In addition they consider that the proposed warehouse extension could lead to a reduction in the number of private car journeys to the supermarket” should be deleted as this refers to the warehouse extension application. _____________________________________________________________ Pre-emptive Site Visits _________________________________________________________________ MEMBERS UPDATE - APPEAL MONITORING INFORMATION Public Inquiries with confirmed start dates on or after 21st July 2010 There are no Inquiries with confirmed start dates after 21st July 2010.

  • Landscape Character Assessment Part 2
    PART 2 THE CHARACTER OF THE WOKINGHAM LANDSCAPE 5 LANDSCAPE TYPE A: RIVER VALLEYS Landscape Character Areas A1: Thames River Valley A2: Loddon River Valley A3: Blackwater River Valley Characteristics of Landscape Type 5.1 There are three character areas classified as being of the River Valley landscape type. These correspond to the valleys of the Rivers Thames and Blackwater which respectively, define the north and south boundary of the district and the Loddon which bisects the district, in a south-north direction. This landscape type is distinguished by a flat lowland alluvial/river terrace floodplain supporting a mixture of arable and pastoral farmland generally set within a partially wooded context creating a semi-enclosed landscape. Key Characteristics • Flat to gently shelving. • Predominantly alluvial floodplain with some areas of river terrace. • Important wetland and marginal habitats. Wokingham District Landscape Character Assessment 52 • Pastoral fields and meadows with large arable fields further away from river. • Semi-enclosed landscape with open fields framed within a wooded backdrop. Relationship to Berkshire Landscape Character Assessment 5.2 The River Valley landscape type corresponds to Type B: Lower River Floodplain of the Berkshire Landscape Character Assessment. The particular character areas are B4: Hurley Thames, B6: Lower Loddon and B7: Blackwater. Generally, there is good parity between the boundaries of the landscape types. The main distinction is that two small areas within the valleys of the Thames and Blackwater have been separated into the River Valley with Open Water landscape type. Additionally, there have been some minor boundary changes due to the more detailed scale of this assessment including some areas where River Terraces have been distinguished from the main valley landscape.
