The RAF element of the Strategy is designed to deliver on the Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015 intent to rationalise the Air estate. In particular, the MOD is working to create greater harmony for the Whole Force through estate optimisation, in the long term, and increase opportunities for continuity in employment and domestic arrangements for families of Service Personnel. 1.1.4 The current planning intent for disposal changes to the future RAF basing laydown includes the proposed disposal of RAF Halton (the site), which has a disposal date of 2022. 1.1.5 As part of the disposal process, the DIO (as the legal landowner) is seeking to promote the allocation of RAF Halton (Site Ref: HAL003 of the Local Plan) as a strategic housing-led mixed used allocation in the emerging Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan. RAF Halton Background 1.2.1 RAF Halton was identified for closure on 7th November 2016 as part of the Ministry of Defence (‘MOD’) and DIO ‘A Better Defence Estate’

  • The Origins of Ickleford
    The origins of Ickleford Figure 1: Ickleford in the twenty-first century; pale lilac areas were once in Holwell (in Bedfordshire before 1894) and pale blue in Shillington (Bedfordshire); green areas are Archaeological Areas previously used in planning (© Ordnance Survey) Introduction The village of Ickleford lies to the north of Hitchin and sits astride the Icknield Way. The historic parish – formerly part of Pirton – consisted of two separate lobes, joined by a narrow section of Lower Green between Snailswell (previously in Holwell) and the River Hiz (Figure 2). The manor of 1 Ickleford occupied the southern lobe, while the northern was the manor of Ramerick. The ‘tongue’ of Holwell that projected east from the Bedford Road around Snailswell and the detached part around Cadwell were transferred to Ickleford in the later twentieth century; both parts lay in Bedfordshire before 1894. The southern and eastern boundaries of the parish followed the Rivers Oughton and Hiz respectively. Since the incorporation of Cadwell into Ickleford, this remains true only north of Lower Green Farm and south of the Icknield Way. The northern boundary follows an unnamed stream, branches of which rise in Holwell and Stondon. To the west, the Bedford Road (A600) forms its northern line, while it follows hedges, field baulks and minor roads in a zig-zag to the River Oughton. Ickleford became a vicarage in 1215, with two chapels: one lay in Ickleford, the other at Ramerick. Each chapel served a separate manor, both of which were subinfeudations of Pirton, each held for a quarter of a knight’s fee from that manor.

  • Surrey's Large Bid to the Local Sustainable
    SURREy’S LARGE BID TO THE LOCAL SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT FUND CONTENTS Headline information 5 Foreword 7 Executive summary 9 Business cases 15 l Strategic case 17 - Guildford package 24 - Woking package 46 - Redhill/Reigate package 66 l Economic case 105 l Commercial case 161 l Financial case 167 l Management case 175 TRAVELSMART 3 FOREWORD Travel SMART is our plan to boost Surrey’s economy by improving sustainable transport, tackling congestion and reducing carbon emissions. Surrey has a very strong economy. The county is a net contributor to the Exchequer, with a tax income of £6.12 million per year. In addition, Surrey has a GVA of £26 billion – larger than any area other than London. It is not surprising that the South East in general and Surrey in particular have been called the engine room of the UK economy. Our excellent location and strong road and rail network have helped to make Surrey a prime location for national and international businesses. A third of the M25 runs through the county. Surrey residents and businesses can enjoy the county’s unparalleled environment and still be within an easy commute of London, Heathrow and Gatwick. We have more than 80 rail stations in the county. Surrey is both an excellent place to live and to locate a business. But these advantages have also brought problems. Surrey’s roads are heavily used with more than twice the national average traffic flows. Much of the road network is saturated which means that a traffic incident can cause chronic congestion as drivers look for alternative routes.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.
