Aims and Scope Background 1.1 Oxfordshire’s draft Minerals and Waste Core Strategy was published for public consultation in September 2011. A concern was identified in the responses made by the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and North Wessex Downs AONB. This related to potential landscape impacts on the Protected Landscapes of minerals developments within two proposed broad areas for sand and gravel working at Cholsey and Caversham. This study identifies the nature of these impacts, and potential mitigation measures which could help reduce the impacts. 1.2 The impacts identified will refer both to the operational phase of any development, and restoration phases. Recommendations may help to identify potential restoration priorities, and mitigation measures. Aims 1.3 The aim of the study is to carry out an assessment of the potential landscape impacts of minerals development within two proposed areas for mineral working on the setting of Oxfordshire’s AONBs.

    2.1.1 Supplemental Data Summary - A4155 Flowing Springs Combined Option 1 & 2 Regrade and Gravity Wall Strategic Network • "The only impact for local service buses would be on the A4155: Carousel buses X80 service Monday-Saturday. Buses would need to divert via Binfield Heath/Dunsden Green" - Chris Spry's comments. •" Regarding the Playhatch area we have ATC 187 just south of the roundabout and have attached the weeks’ worth of flows from 2016 (AADT = 17603). North of the roundabout in 2010 we carried out a speed survey and the flows from this provide an AADT = 8359. Further along the A4155 just south of Henley we have a 2016 AADT = 10825. There are plenty of opportunities to loose vehicles between these two count sites (including Lower Shiplake) so the 2010 AADT is possibly a little low compared to what a 2016 survey would show but overall probably not too far out." - Richard Bowman's comments • "This is a significant route and a link road between the bridges crossing the river Thames particularly in this area that links to the Playhatch bridge on the B478 which takes large volumes of peak time traffic across the river Thames, if the A4155 were to close it would cause significant traffic problems in Henley and on Henley bridge in particular as well as having a major impact on the two river bridges in Reading. It’s closure would severely impact on bus routes in the area. " - Bob Eeles comments • 8000 AADT in 2015. See table 2.1.2; 2.1.3 Strategic Commercial – Impact • "A4155 – I am finding it difficult to see the location plan so cannot be sure of the to businesses, schools and impact of the closure.

I have moved it here. THE THAMES ABOVE OXFORD. BY THE EDITOR. OXFORD TO CRICKLADE NB: going upstream Oxford LEAVING Folly Bridge, winding along the river past the Oxford Gas-works, and passing under the line of the G.W.R., we soon come to Osney Lock (falls ft. 6 in.), close by which was the once-famous Abbey. There is nothing left to attest its former magnificence and arrest our progress, so we soon come to Botley Bridge, over which passes the western road fro Oxford to Cheltenham , Bath , &c.; and a little higher are four streams, the bathing-place of "Tumbling bay" being on the westward one. Keeping straight on, Medley Weir is reached (falls 2 ft.), and then a long stretch of shallow water succeeds, Godstow Lock until we reach Godstow Lock. Godstow Lock (falls 3 ft. 6 in., pay at Medley Weir) has been rebuilt, and the cut above deepened, the weeds and mud banks cleared out, so as to leave th river good and navigable up to King's Weir.
