RTS Development Consent Order – Preparation for submission to Planning Inspectorate

Posted on October 4, 2024 by ecwlarcombe

Background:  Having spent about 15 years and £100m on development the Environment Agency is about to submit an application to the Planning Inspectorate requesting a Development Consent Order for the River Thames Scheme.  The project is in the pre-application stage which is where the Environment Agency starts to create their application. The applicant is required to consult with people and organisations in the area and must also create detailed documents about the impact the project could have on the environment.  It is important to get involved at this stage to influence the application before the applicant sends it to the Planning Inspectorate.

 

PROPOSED MOTION FOR PARISH COUNCILS:

That (Datchet/Horton/Wraysbury/Old Windsor) Parish Council prepares and publishes the skeleton arguments in advance of the Environment Agency application to the Planning Inspectorate requesting a Development Consent Order for the River Thames Scheme.

    Given the increased incidence of downstream flooding since the Jubilee River has been in use, I and my fellow residents are extremely keen to be involved in the planning process of the RTS.

HORTON

The village name "Horton" is a common one in England. It is Old English in origin and derives from the two words horu 'dirt' and tūn 'settlement, farm, estate', presumably meaning 'farm on muddy soil'.In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was recorded as Hortune.

WRAYSBURY

The village name was traditionally spelt Wyrardisbury; it is Anglo Saxon in origin and means 'Wïgrǣd's fort'. Its name is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Wirecesberie and as Wiredesbur in 1195. The name is seen again as Wyrardesbury in 1422.
