Land at Calcot Golf Course, Calcot, West Berkshire Land at Calcot Golf Course, Calcot, West Berkshire Representations to West Berkshire LDF Consultation - Options for the Future: West Berkshire Core Strategy (April 2009) Client: Calcot Park Golf Club Issued: 2nd July 2009 Prepared by: Broadway Malyan Paragraph 3.1 West Berkshire Core Strategy Spatial Vision Support or object Support Reasons for support or objection We agree that development should be concentrated in settlements with a range of infrastructure and services. Calcot is one example of a settlement which has land available for development within the settlement boundary that would achieve the aims of sustainable development. Changes being sought to resolve any objection None Policy CS2 Location of Development Support or object Support Reasons for support or objection We support the principles of locating development within/adjacent to settlements and sustainable transport modes. Our client has two sites at Calcot Golf Course; one west of New Lane Hill and one east of West Drive. Both sites are within the settlement boundary and close to public transport routes. Changes being sought to resolve any objection None Policy CS3 District Settlement Hierarchy Support or object Support Reasons for support or objection We support that the Eastern Urban Area (Calcot, Purley on Thames and Tilehurst) has been identified as one of the areas which will be the main focus of development within the District. However, we consider the Council should reassess the important open space designation as our client’s site at Calcot Golf Course, which is designated as important open space, is within the settlement boundary at Calcot and is arguably in more of a sustainable location than other sites outside of the settlement boundary in the Eastern Urban Area. Changes being sought to resolve any objection None M:\20553\0600-090630-Calcot Reps 1 Policy CS3 District Settlement Hierarchy Support or object Object Reasons for support or objection Calcot is an urban area identified for growth in Policy CS3 and therefore should be referenced on the District Settlement Hierarchy diagram. Changes being sought to resolve any objection Identify Calcot on the diagram. Paragraph 5.11 Support or object Support Reasons for support or objection We support this paragraph as good access to key services, facilities and public transport links are crucial for achieving sustainable settlements. Changes being sought to resolve any objection None Policy CS4 Sustainable Construction and Energy Efficiency Support or object Object Reasons for support or objection We object to the requirement to raise the level of sustainable construction and energy efficiency standards above those set out at regional and national levels. It was the intention of the Code for Sustainable Homes and BREEAM to set construction standards higher than Building Regulations, therefore raising this level even further is unnecessary. It is therefore not lawful or consistent with national policy to seek a higher standard than Government targets and raises serious viability issues for developments. Specifically we object to the following standard for residential development: ‘Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 for the urban areas.’ The Code for Sustainable Homes states that Level 4 needn’t be achieved until 2013, imposing this requirement prematurely will effect the viability of schemes especially in the current economic climate. We further object to the line: ‘developments over 1 hectare or 100 dwellings to achieve 30% reductions (in CO2).’ The adopted South East Plan makes no reference of this recommendation and only specifies this requirement to be at 20%. Policy CS4 is therefore unsound as it is not legally compliant or consistent with national policy. Changes being sought to resolve any objection Amend Policy CS4: ‘Residential development should meet the Code for Sustainable Homes as set by National Standards.’ ‘20% reduction in CO2 emissions as in compliance with the adopted South East Plan.’ M:\20553\0600-090630-Calcot Reps 2 Policy CS8 Housing Distribution Support or object Object Reasons for support or objection We support that the Eastern Urban Area has been identified for locating a share of the majority of development. However, we consider there are sites available, such our client’s site at Calcot Golf Course, which do not fall within the definition of previously developed land but would be suitable for development. Furthermore, the land is surplus to requirements and will not result in the loss of playable area of fairway within the Golf Course. Changes being sought to resolve any objection Amend wording to Policy CS8 to also include ‘other suitable sites within the settlement boundary’ as suitable locations for development. Policy CS9 Strategic Sites Support or object Object Reasons for support or objection We support that the Eastern Urban Area has been identified for locating a share of the majority of development. However, there are more likely to be delivery issues with the allocation of a few larger sites. We therefore consider the policy should refer to the need to allocate a range of smaller sites to ensure delivery. In addition, if there are delays with the completion of larger sites it can make the District vulnerable to development on sites that have not been assessed through the Local Development Documents as developers may find justification for development through the lack of a 5-year housing land supply. We believe by including smaller sites it allows for a more flexible approach in the phasing of housing delivery. Furthermore, Policy WCBV1: Core Strategy of the South East Plan is specific in referring to the need to allocate smaller sites as well: “smaller allocations may be brought forward at other settlements, subject to their meeting the same sustainability considerations ” We also note Calcot is not included on the diagram to policy CS9. This should be included to provide context to the policy. Changes being sought to resolve any objection Include the words “which includes a mix of smaller and larger sites” after the first line “ The majority of new development will take place in and around the urban areas of the District”. Include Calcot on the diagram within policy CS9 M:\20553\0600-090630-Calcot Reps 3 Policy Eastern Urban Area Option 4 and 5 CS9 Strategic Sites Support or object Support Reasons for support or objection We support the option for identifying smaller sites at Calcot. Changes being sought to resolve any objection None Policy CS11 Affordable Housing (option A and B) Support or object Object Reasons for support or objection Policy CS11 is not in general conformity with the South East Plan as it states a ‘minimum’ of affordable housing will be required. However, Policy H3 of the South East Plan states that local authorities should include targets for the provision of affordable housing having regard to: “..the overall regional target that 25% of all new housing should be social rented accommodation and 10% intermediate affordable housing.” Furthermore we object to the wording of the policy “40% on greenfield land.” Housing need should determine the percentage and locations of affordable housing and not the type of land that is being developed. Changes being sought to resolve any objection Delete the words “minimum” from Policy CS11. Delete the separate requirement for greenfield sites as this is not supported by housing need. Policy CS23 Open Space Support or object Object Reasons for support or objection Whilst we note the principle of protecting and enhancing existing areas of open space we consider this should be balanced against the need for housing on a site by site basis. Furthermore, consideration should be given to the current level of accessibility of sites deemed to be ‘important open space’ and in light of poor accessibility alternative uses, such as housing, be considered. Changes being sought to resolve any objection We consider that this policy should be amended to read “…A strategy will be implemented to protect and enhance existing open spaces and to establish new areas of open space where there is a need. Account will given of the accessibility of open space and the need to deliver housing when considering development proposals.” M:\20553\0600-090630-Calcot Reps 4 .

  • Proposals for West Berkshire Council. Proposed Wards for Tilehurst, Pangbourne and Purley
    Local Government Boundary Commission for England – proposals for West Berkshire Council. Proposed Wards for Tilehurst, Pangbourne and Purley. This response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England proposals for the restructuring of the wards of West Berkshire Council, is from the West Berkshire Council members for Pangbourne, Purley on Thames and Tilehurst Westwood wards. These are respectively, Pamela Bale, Tim Metcalfe, Rick Jones and Laszlo Zverko. The response is also supported by the members for Tilehurst Birch Copse and Tilehurst Calcot wards. This represents five current wards with 10 members, to be reduced to four wards and eight members in most proposals. The WBC submission to the Commission suggested that Tilehurst comprised three two‐member wards, and that Pangbourne and Purley were combined, also in a two‐member ward (including Sulham & Tidmarsh). The Commission’s own report stated that this arrangement had good electoral quality, but felt that the community boundaries were poor and somewhat arbitrary, even though they are the current Parish boundaries. As a result of this view, the most recent Commission report proposes a radically different division for Purley, Pangbourne, and the central and north areas of Tilehurst. This separates Purley and Pangbourne based upon little community connection, enlarges the central Tilehurst ward area, and because that makes the rest of Tilehurst too small, combines that with Purley. This results in four wards of 1, 3, 2, 2 members. A formal response from WBC most recently suggested that the proposed Tilehurst & Purley Ward be split, though we do not favour that, and commentary in the WBC response should indicate that the case is marginal at best.

When Elizabeth was born on the 21st April 1926 it was assumed that it would be her Uncle David and his family who would succeed to the throne after her grandfather King George V. But it did not work out like that. Her uncle, who became King Edward VIII, abdicated in 1936 before he was crowned and it was her father who was destined to carry on the line of succession. He became King George VI and saw us through the Second World War only to die an early death in 1952. At the time Elizabeth was in Kenya, enjoying a holiday with her husband, Prince Philip, whom she had married in 1948. Elizabeth was proclaimed Queen on February 6th 1952 and flew back to Engl- and. Her coronation took place on 2nd June 1953 and, for many people, it was their first view of television as they crowded around the available sets to watch the proceedings.

Hardly a day passes without the newspapers or TV news programmes carrying a report of some horrific act carried out either by an individual or group of people against someone else. We hear of the discovery of mass graves in Rwanda where people have been hacked to death and hastily buried. We know of terrible atrocities on all sides in the conflict in former Yugoslavia. Nearer home, there was a recent incident in which a young teenage boy was accused of raping a 5-year-old girl! A 93-year-old lady was attacked and raped in a churchyard! Many people wonder what on earth the world is coming to! On the other hand, frequently we hear of wonderful advances in all kinds of areas which have great benefits for our society, but the age-old problem still goes on - we can't live together for very long before there is tension, argument and conflict.

Her main claim to fame was as the correspondent for Purley to the local newspapers. She used to write a short piece every week, and someti- mes several times a week, for the Berkshire Mercury and Reading Chronicle. She was the unofficial postmistress and her house, where the Post Office was located, was the gossip centre of the village. So from 1966 to 1984 her reports have provided us with a unique diary of village life. She was born Lucy Honor Gertrude Pennick in Holloway in 1896 - her father Harry Pennick was most interestingly a London City Missionary. Honor used to come to Tilehurst in the early 1930s to visit the family of her then husband-to-be, Percival Baker, whose family were, according to her, well-known in Tilehurst. They often used to go rowing along the Thames and one day, as they rowed their hired boat towards Mapledurham Lock from the Scours Lane boathouse, they came across a huge signpost announcing 'plots of land for sale in Purley'.
