Introduction Status of the Plan 1.1 The Central and Eastern Berkshire - Joint Minerals & Waste Plan (JMWP) forms the land use planning strategy for minerals and waste development within the administrative area covered by the Central & Eastern Berkshire Authorities which are: • Bracknell Forest Council; • Reading Borough Council; • The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead; and • Wokingham Borough Council. 1.2 Together with the individually adopted Local Plans for each Authority and any other adopted or made Plans, the JMWP will form the development plan for the area. The Plan guides the level of minerals and waste development needed within Central and Eastern Berkshire and identifies where development should go. Proposals for minerals and waste developments will be considered against the policies contained in the Plan. The determination of non-minerals and waste applications by those Authorities (in terms of other matters such as housing) will also need to take the JMWP into consideration. 1.3 The detailed timescale for preparation of the Plan is set out in the Local Development Scheme (which is the formal programme for the plan preparation process) for each of the Authorities1. The JMWP is a Local Plan, supported by other development documents, such as the Statement of Community Involvement, for each Authority. The policies in this Plan will replace all previous Minerals and Waste Plan policies. The Plan period for the JMWP is up to 31 December 2036. 1.4 The Plan is being prepared in accordance with national legislation. It has also been prepared to be in general conformity with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), National Planning Policy for Waste (NPPW) and the Waste Management Plan for England. 1 Bracknell Forest LDS - http://democratic.bracknell- forest.gov.uk/documents/s130421/Revised%20Local%20Development%20Scheme%202019- 2022%20Appendix%20A%2021012019%20Environment%20Portfolio%20Review%20Group.pdf Reading LDS - http://www.reading.gov.uk/media/1053/Local-Development- Scheme/pdf/Local_Development_Scheme_November_2016.pdf Windsor & Maidenhead LDS - https://www3.rbwm.gov.uk/info/201025/emerging_plans_and_policies/1346/local_development_scheme Wokingham LDS - https://www.wokingham.gov.uk/planning-policy/planning-policy-information/local-plan- update/ Central & Eastern Berkshire: Joint Minerals & Waste Plan 1 Submission Version (Feb 2021) 1.5 The JMWP only applies to the administrative area of the four unitary councils of Bracknell Forest, Reading, Windsor and Maidenhead, and Wokingham. The West Berkshire and Slough unitary authorities are preparing their own Local Plans. 1.6 Annual monitoring will review the effectiveness of the adopted Plan and its policies. Monitoring issues, indicators and triggers accompany each of the policies in this Plan. 1.7 The preparation of the Plan provides the opportunity to develop a new spatial strategy for minerals and waste planning in Central and Eastern Berkshire. At the same time, it allows for changes and adjustments

There should be a footpath from Holyport village all the way to TI4 Holyport College. Cycle routes should not have frequent give way stops. The whole point of easy cycling is to get going and keep going. Agree. However I am concerned that from time to time some of our lovely village pubs put up marquees and close for private functions.

  • Jealott's Hill, Warfield Technical Summary
    JEALOTT’S HILL, WARFIELD TECHNICAL SUMMARY/OVERVIEW NOTE ON ECOLOGICAL CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES Executive Summary Development at the Jealott’s Hill site offers the opportunity to create extensive areas of new species and wildflower-rich mesotrophic grassland, through the reversion of arable land and through the diversification of existing improved grassland currently in agricultural use. Small patches of existing more diverse semi-improved grassland around the current research campus buildings could also form the basis of a significant project to create or restore new areas of ‘lowland meadow’ priority habitat; either through their retention and positive management in situ to promote enhancement, or through the use of the soil seed bank in these areas to diversify larger parts of the rural hinterland of the estate currently in agricultural use. Existing species-rich hedgerows can also be subject to positive future management using traditional conservation-friendly methods such as laying, with older hedgerows prioritised for retention within the layout, and new species-rich native hedgerows planted in conjunction with the proposals. Existing ponds can be subject to ecological restoration to improve their suitability for a range of species including aquatic invertebrates, amphibians, foraging bats and hunting Grass Snake. The habitats present both on site and in the wider area are likely to support a range of fauna of varying ecological importance including; amphibians, reptiles, breeding and overwintering birds (particularly farmland birds), mammals such as bats and Badgers, and invertebrate assemblages. The scale of the proposals and large areas of proposed Green Infrastructure being brought forward will provide the means to deliver new habitat for these species and this will be informed by further ecological survey work in due course.

Bracknell Forest Council, Reading Borough Council, the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and Wokingham Borough Council (collectively referred to as the ‘Central & Eastern Berkshire Authorities’) are working in partnership to produce a Joint Minerals & Waste Plan which will guide minerals and waste decision-making in the Plan area for the period up to 2036. The Joint Minerals & Waste Plan will build upon the currently adopted minerals and waste plans for the Berkshire area, and improve, update, and strengthen the policies and provide details of strategic sites that are proposed to deliver the vision. The currently adopted minerals and waste plans for the Berkshire area are the Replacement Minerals Local Plan for Berkshire, adopted in 1995 with subsequently adopted alterations in 1997 and 20011 and the Waste Local Plan for Berkshire adopted in 19982. The Minerals Local Plan and Waste Local Plan cover the administrative areas of the Central & Eastern Berkshire Authorities, as well as Slough Borough Council and West Berkshire Council. While these plans covered the period until 2006, the Secretary of State directed that a number of policies in them should be saved indefinitely until replaced by national, regional or local minerals and waste policies.

  • 9 Ecology and Nature Conservation
    HIGHWAYS AGENCY – M4 JUNCTIONS 3 TO 12 SMART MOTORWAY 9 ECOLOGY AND NATURE CONSERVATION 9.1 Introduction 9.1.1 This chapter provides the assessment of the potential effects of the construction and operation phases of the Scheme on Ecology and Nature Conservation. A desk-based study and field surveys, undertaken between 2009 and 2015, have been used to underpin this assessment. Technical supporting data are provided in Appendix 9.1 and Confidential Appendix 9.2. In view of the long design-life of the Scheme (30 years for new gantries, 40 years for new carriageway construction, and 120 years for new bridges), and as no impacts are predicted during the decommissioning phase of the Scheme which have not already been identified and assessed for the construction and operational phases, effects as a result of decommissioning have been scoped out of this assessment. 9.1.2 The assessment has been undertaken for the following receptors: statutory and non-statutory designated sites, habitats and plants, terrestrial invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, birds, bats, dormice ( Muscardinus avellanarius ), water voles ( Arvicola terrestris ), otters ( Lutra lutra ), and badgers ( Meles meles ). 9.1.3 To prevent unnecessary injury or death to badgers and having regard to the Protection of Badgers Act 1992, all information related to badgers (including survey methodology, baseline information, mitigation and residual effects and cumulative effects), is presented in Confidential Appendix 9.2. Release of Confidential Appendix 9.2 will only be to the Planning Inspectorate (the “Inspectorate”), and on request from suitably qualified professionals. 9.1.4 Direct and indirect effects on nature conservation as a result of the Scheme have been considered.

  • Landscape Character Assessment for the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead
    Landscape Character Assessment for the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead PART 1: LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT Final Report September 2004 Issuing office Oxford T 01865 887050 F 01865 887055 E [email protected] Final Report (September 2004) 2 RBWM: Part 1 - Landscape Character Assessment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides information on the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead's (RBWM) landscape character. It has been prepared following a detailed landscape character assessment carried out by LDA Design which commenced in June of 2003. It has been undertaken on behalf of the RBWM’s Planning Policy Unit, in line with the Countryside Agency's most up-to-date guidance on Landscape Character Assessment (LCA). The LCA has been carried out in two stages: the ‘characterisation’ stage involved a systematic and objective process of identifying the key characteristics and components which contribute to the ‘local distinctiveness’ of the Royal Borough’s landscape, it is this work which is detailed in this document (Part 1 of the RBWM’s LCA); and the ‘evaluation’ stage, which was the judgment stage aimed at identifying the forces for change in the landscape and the formulation of strategies and guidelines to counter this change. This is included in Part 2 of the RBWM’s LCA. The landscape types and areas described in this document, along with their supporting key characteristics and descriptions, are intended to raise awareness and understanding of the special qualities of the landscape within the Royal Borough. They also form the basis for Part 2 of the RBWM’s Landscape Strategy and Guidelines Report (Final Draft, August 2004).
