  • One was for request to vary a Condition of an approved application for the erection of a barn
  • One was for a replacement roof to a building at Priors Court School

Further information about Planning Applications can be found on the Planning Advice section of the West Berkshire Council website.

 

Superfast Broadband

The Parish Council received an update report regarding progress of the Superfast Berkshire Programme.  West Berkshire Council has now signed a contract with BT on behalf of all the Berkshire District Councils to provide broadband speed and coverage improvement across Berkshire.  The project will be delivered in 5 phases and rollout should be complete in September 2015.  The Parish of Chieveley is currently scheduled to receive broadband upgrades in phases 1, 4 and 5.  Indicative figures (which are subject to survey from BT and may therefore change) show that the number of premises in the Parish (1,046) as having basic broadband (2Mbit/s) is currently at 82% and that this figure will rise to 100% as a result of the planned improvements.  In the case of superfast broadband (24Mbit/s) the figure for the Parish is currently 0% and this will rise to 29% by the end of the rollout.

The Parish Council agreed to write to West Berkshire Council to seek clarification on a number of points and to better understand the plans for, and impact of, the rollout in the Parish.  Further information about the Programme can be found via Superfast Berkshire.

The Plan includes information about primary and secondary roads that will be treated where snow is forecast.  Further information about the Plan will be available in due course and via Highway Winter Service.
