  • Aylesbury Historic Town Assessment Draft Report 79
    Aylesbury Historic Town Assessment Draft Report Figure 44: Morphology of Aylesbury 79 Aylesbury Historic Town Assessment Draft Report Figure 45: period development 80 Aylesbury Historic Town Assessment Draft Report 5 Historic Urban Zones 5.1 Introduction The process of characterising and analysing Buckinghamshire towns produces a large quantity of information at a ‘fine-grained scale’ e.g. the character of particular buildings, town plan forms and location of archaeological data. This multitude of information can be hard to assimilate. In order to distil this information into an understandable form, the project defines larger areas or Historic Urban Zones (HUZs) for each town; these zones provide a framework for summarising information spatially and in written form ( 81 Aylesbury Historic Town Assessment Draft Report Figure 47). Each zone contains several sections including: A summary of the zone including reasons for the demarcation of the zone. An assessment of the known and potential archaeological interest for pre 20th century areas only. An assessment of existing built character. 5.2 Historic Urban Zones The creation of these zones begins with several discrete data sets including historical cartography and documentary sources; known archaeological work; buildings evidence (whether listed or not) and the modern urban character (Figure 46). From this, a picture can be drawn of the changes that have occurred to the built character within a given area over a given period. Discrete areas of the town that then show broad similarities can be grouped as one zone. After the survey results have been mapped into GIS the resulting data is analysed to discern any larger, distinctive patterns; principally build periods, urban types, styles or other distinctive attributes of buildings.

  • Aylesbury Vale Councillor Update Economic Profile of Southcourt Ward
    Aylesbury Vale Councillor Update Economic Profile of Southcourt Ward April 2014 Produced by Buckinghamshire Business First’s research department P a g e | 2 1.0 Introduction Southcourt is home to 6,912 people and provides 900 jobs in 92 businesses. Of these businesses, 24 (26.1 per cent) are Buckinghamshire Business First members. There were 3,084 employed people aged 16-74 living in Southcourt ward at the 2011 Census, 633 more than the 2,451 recorded in 2001. Over that period the working age population rose 861 to 4,436 while the total population rose 1062 to 6,912. The number of households rose by 305 (13.9 per cent) to 2,506. This is a significant percentage increase and places the ward 7th out of all wards in Aylesbury Vale in terms of growth in household numbers. The large increase in number of residents in the ward accounts for this substantial increase in households over the 10 year period. The largest companies in Southcourt include: Chiltern Railways; Oak Green School; Aylesbury College; Pebble Brook School Dayboarding; Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School; Buckinghamshire University Technical College; and Ashmead Combined School. There are 143 Southcourt, representing 3.5 per cent of working age residents, including 30 claimants aged 18-24 and 45 who have been claiming for more than six months. Superfast broadband is expected to be available to 99 per cent of premises in the Southcourt ward by March 2016 with commercial providers responsible for 88 per cent. The Connected Counties project, run by BBF, deliver the remaining 11 per cent through its interventions in Southcourt, Aylesbury, Cholesbury, Stoke Mandeville, Tring and Wendover exchange areas.

  • Church of the Good Shepherd, Aylesbury Parish Profile 'To Know God and to Make Him Known'
    Church of the Good Shepherd, Aylesbury Parish Profile ‘To Know God and to Make Him Known’ August 2016 – Final edition Welcome to our parish profile. The Church of the Good Shepherd is 60 years old. A lot has happened in that time and we thank God for His faithfulness and provision. We are looking forward to working with our new minister as he or she joins with us to help build up our mission initiatives for the people of Southcourt and Walton Court. We hope this information will help you in making decisions for the future – please do call or visit us if you want to know more! Wes Atkinson, Pastoral Assistant (with wife, Jackie) The Good Shepherd Church family is a mixed bunch of people, some of us well grounded in the Christian faith, all keen to develop our faith and knowledge of the Bible. Over the years we have shared joys and shed many tears. The congregation has a particular welcome for vulnerable people. From the 1950s to the 1970s a pioneer generation built and established a thriving congregation with the support of Holy Trinity, Aylesbury. There is still a handful of worshippers from this time and the essential spirit for mission remains. Through the 1980s and on into the early part of this century, a second generation of worshippers grounded themselves in the church, raised families and got on with living out their faith. There were singing groups, parish weekends, visits to Spring Harvest, a church drama group and many other community activities. In particular CGS found a calling as a ‘mustard tree’ church to welcome vulnerable people.
