LATEST COOKHAM SOCIETY NEWS

October 2020 - COUNCIL TOLD TO DO MORE WORK ON HOUSING

The BLP inspector has told planning officers to go away and do more work on the provision of houses in the Borough for the next 13 years. As a result the Examination in Public has been extended to December 9th 2020.

September 2020- DESIGN AWARD 2021

We are now inviting entries for the Society’s annual Design Award. Application forms may be obtained from our Hon. Sec. Lysette Penston at: messages@cookhamsociety.org.uk . Projects involving new buildings and extensions or environmental schemes are admissible for consideration, provided they will be completed by the end of 2020.

August 2020 - BATTLEMEAD: What next?

RBWM is now proposing a further round of consultation on the latest proposals for this land. The revised master plan suggests a compromise between nature conservation and public access, but says little about the site’s important role in carrying Cookham’s flood water away and we shall continue to press this issue strongly.

August 2020 - BLP LATEST

Following the long list of questions the inspector sent to the Royal Borough in June, we have sent in a further 11 submissions covering aspects of it relevant to our village. Foremost among them were (a) continuing public support for Poundfield to be identified as a Local Green Space and kept free from development and a rejection of the suggestion that this land was put into the BLP unfairly; and (b) a strong objection to the scale of new housing proposed for Cookham.

May 2020 - STATION COURT APPLICATION (20/00864)

The Society has strongly objected to the proposal for 13 flats at the junction of High Road and Peace Lane. We consider the building will be out-of-scale with its neighbours and will result in over-development of the site. In particular, the lack of adequate provision for residents’ cars will result in greater pressure on parking space in High Road, to the detriment of local residents. As our latest objection says, the Borough’s highways report is “totally inadequate”.
