This site is one of several hundred designed landscapes county‐wide identified by Bucks County Council in 1998 (including Milton Keynes District) as potentially retaining evidence of historic interest, as part of the Historic Parks and Gardens Register Review project carried out for English Heritage (now Historic England) (BCC Report No. 508). The list is not definitive and further parks and gardens may be identified as research continues or further information comes to light. Content BGT has taken the Register Review list as a sound basis from which to select sites for appraisal as part of its Research and Recording Project for designed landscapes in the historic county of Bucks (pre‐1974 boundaries). For each site a dossier is prepared by volunteers trained by BGT in appraising designed landscapes. Each dossier includes the following for the site: A site boundary mapped on the current Ordnance Survey to indicate the extent of the main part of the surviving designed landscape, also a current aerial photograph. A statement of historic significance based on the four Interests outlined in the National Planning Policy Framework and including an overview. A written description, derived from documentary research and a site visit, based on the format of Historic England Register of Parks & Gardens of special historic interest 2nd edn.

  • 5.5 Rural Areas
    Wycombe District Local Plan Local Plan – Regulation 19 Version October 2017 5.5 Rural Areas 5.5.1 A key objective of this plan is to cherish the Chilterns. The Chilterns lie at the heart of our rural areas, and is an area designated nationally for its scenic beauty. Whilst not all our rural areas and communities lie within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, they have their own distinctive character and qualities. 5.5.2 Our rural areas are living, working communities facing their own particular issues. These include access to affordable housing, to transport (especially public transport) and other infrastructure, and retaining local community facilities. The changing rural economy is also a challenge that needs to be addressed. Ultimately the challenge is to see development that supports the economic and social wellbeing of these local communities whilst respecting their distinct character, and safeguarding the Chilterns and the Green Belt which also extends across much of the rural area. This plan makes some specific proposals for rural areas – neighbourhood plans can also bring forward proposals for their local areas. 5.5.3 The Council’s Sustainable Community Strategy128 aim for our rural areas to stay rural, and for towns and villages to keep their unique identities while benefiting from improved access to services and better public transport and facilities. 5.5.4 Local enterprise will continue to be encouraged and the special character and quality of the countryside will be maintained and enhanced. The Chilterns will retain its outstanding natural beauty and will have a thriving rural life. 128 Sustainable Community Strategy for Wycombe District 2013 – 2031 (July 2014, The Wycombe Partnership) 274 Wycombe District Local Plan Local Plan – Regulation 19 Version October 2017 PRINCIPLES FOR RURAL AREAS To meet the district-wide Strategic Objectives, the Council will shape development in rural areas to: 1.
