22nd February 2010 - SPAG AGM
Notice is hereby given that the third Annual General Meeting of SPAG will be held at the Morrell Rooms on Monday 22nd February 2010 at 8:30pm.

Note that as part of the meeting, Councillor Alan Law will brief attendees on the WBC "Rural Village" classification of Streatley. If approved this would give a high level of protection to the village from excessive development. However, it could be challenged, which if successful would have the opposite effect. You may not be aware but Goring has been allocated a higher classification by SODC and is now earmarked for extensive development on many sites.

3rd January 2010 - Local Development Framework Core Strategy
This was approved by the full West Berkshire Council on the 21st January and is being submitted to the Secretary of State for approval. During Autumn 2010 it will be tested at Public Enquiry. The outcome of this enquiry will be critical for Streatley with respect to the extent of permitted development up to 2026. Use this link to see our updated section of the site discussing this.
 
 
2nd January 2010 - Conservation Appraisal
The WBC Conservation Area Appraisal for Streatley is currently being finalised to take into account received comments during the consultation period at the end of last year. This is a very important document in considering any application in or adjacent to the defined area and it's adoption will add another plank in the opposition to inappropriate development in the centre of the village. Without it WBC was at risk of the designated area being challenged. See the updated section of our site here...
 
 
9th March 2009 - Exhibition and Invitation to Present Plans to Streatley Parish Council

As advised for previous exhibitions... we strongly recommend that at the exhibition you avoid completing forms or questionnaires and putting anything in writing.

WBC are now inviting us to comment on their "WBPS Core Strategy" document. This is the lead document of the new Local Development Framework (LDF) which replaces the current Local Plan. This is the document that will outline the areas designated for the development of 10,500 new homes in West Berks up to 2026. The consultation period is 23/11/07 to 11/01/08. Here we show you where to read the draft document and submit any comments you have. More...
 
 
25th September 2007 - Membership Recruitment
During August and September SPAG have been recruiting Members. This is because we have been advised that we can strengthen our case by showing we represent a large proportion of local residents opposed to Gladedale planning proposals by having a registered membership. A constitution has been adopted and an inaugural committee has been formed.
 
 
30th August 2007 - Latest Forecast of Gladedale Application
A Gladedale open letter in the Goring Gap News in August advises that they intend to submit an application late September or early October. They repeat their request for written comments. We continue to advise that no written comments on their proposals should be sent to Gladedale or Green Issues. Refer to our Letters page under Current Campaigns.

Gladedale/Reland will be attending the Streatley Parish Council meeting on Monday, 9th July, in order to make a brief "pre-planning application" presentation.

6th February 2007 - Delay in Issue of Planning Application
Contrary to their declared intention Gladedale did not issue a planning application in December 2006. We assume this is now imminent. Watch this site.

We will of course fully outline SPAG's objections for your information and help.
 
 
8th November 2006 - SPAG Response to Green Issues Letter
