The Clerk to the Curridge Playground Trustees attended the meeting to request funding support to carry out improvements at the Curridge Playground Charity Land.
Housing Site Allocations Development Plan Document (HSA DPD). To receive an update on the publication of the West Berkshire Council second draft HSA DPD for consultation.
The meeting was provided with a preliminary overview of the main points in the new submission. The consultation period commenced on 9th November and will conclude on 21st December 2015. There are no allocated sites in Chieveley. However West Berkshire Council have redrawn the settlement boundary of Chieveley village. Of note:-
Boundary altered to include development along track off Morphetts Lane (includes CHI016); Boundary altered to remove former Bardown Site to west of Chieveley as planning permission has lapsed; Boundary altered to include site CHI0010 Coombe Cottage and boundary altered to south of Chieveley village at Green Lane to follow curtilage of dwellings which includes sites CHI017 and CHO001. Other settlement boundary review amendments are also listed and shown in the West Berkshire Council submission document. The map is available on the village website with links to the West Berkshire Council website to the consultation documents and information.

Within the settlement boundary development would still be acceptable in principle but would need to meet other policies for development in the countryside.
It is not clear if the Curridge settlement boundary remains. A table in the draft submission document listing the settlements where Policy C1 applies is included in the submission document but there are a few areas that have had settlement boundaries, including Upper Bucklebury and Curridge, which are not listed there.
