Summary of Major Issues raised through Draft Plan 35 consultation & how addressed in Proposed Submission VALP -2- VALP Proposed Submission Consultation Statement 1. Purpose of the document 1.1 This Proposed Submission version of the consultation statement sets out how the Council has involved residents and key stakeholders in preparing the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan. For each consultation stage it describes the background to the work, the various periods of consultation that have been held, along with who was invited to make representations and how. This is then followed by a summary of the main issues that were raised at each stage and how they have been addressed. It should be read alongside the Duty to Cooperate Statement of Compliance which also explains how we have engaged actively and constructively with stakeholders, including neighbouring authorities, about strategic issues and the outcomes achieved. Regulations 1.2 This Consultation Statement describes how the Council has undertaken community participation and stakeholder involvement in the production of the Local Plan to date, setting out how such efforts have shaped the Plan and the main issues raised during each consultation. It is produced to respond to and therefore fulfil requirements set out in the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, and specifically Regulation 19 and Regulation 22(1) part (c). This requires the submission to the Secretary of State of a statement setting out: ● which bodies and persons the local planning authority invited to make representations under Regulation 18; ● how those bodies and persons were invited to make representations under Regulation 18; ● a summary of the main issues raised by the representations made pursuant to Regulation 18; ● how any representations made pursuant to Regulation 18 have been taken into account; ● if representations were made pursuant to Regulation 20, the number of representations made and a summary of the main issues raised in those representations; and ● if no representations were made in Regulation 20, that no such representations were made. The Regulation 20 representations will be documented in an update to this paper ahead of the Submission for examination. The Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan 1.3 This consultation statement is for the preparation of the Proposed Submission Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (VALP) to accompany its Regulation 19 publication. VALP is the emerging Local Plan for the district and will, once adopted, replace the 2004 Aylesbury Vale District Local Plan (AVDLP) saved policies. The VALP sets out a clear strategic -3- VALP Proposed Submission Consultation Statement direction for the district, whilst enabling neighbourhood planning to come forward should communities so wish. The VALP also contains: 1. Housing and jobs numbers for the Local Plan period, which is through to 2033 2. Strategic vision, objectives and strategic policies – including for Aylesbury to become a Garden Town 3. Development Management Policies – including design policies, affordable housing, housing mix, employment, infrastructure delivery, green belt policy/criteria for assessing proposals within, tourism, gypsy and travellers, change of use, renewable energy and climate change. 4. Site Allocations for housing, employment, retail, gypsy and traveller sites and green infrastructure 5. Locally valued landscape designations and a reviewed green belt boundary 6. A reviewed Aylesbury town centre boundary and retail frontages 7. Detailed Infrastructure to be set out in policies and proposals in an Infrastructure Delivery Plan 1.4 The VALP has been prepared in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Policy Guidance. Consultation has been taken within the context of Paragraph 155 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) which states: “Early and meaningful engagement and collaboration with neighbourhoods, local organisations and businesses is essential. A wide section of the community should be proactively engaged, so that Local Plans, as far as possible, reflect a collective vision and a set of agreed priorities for the sustainable development of the area, including those contained in any neighbourhood plans that have been made.” 1.5 Aside from demonstrating compliance with the aforementioned Regulations this statement also highlights how AVDC has met the requirements of paragraph 155 of the NPPF and the Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) (November 2013 update). Stages in preparing the VALP 1.6 The specific stages in the plan preparation are set out below in Table 1. Table 1: Stages of engagement in the production of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan1 SCOPE OF THE PLAN Regulation 18 A Scoping (Regulation 18) Consultation was undertaken in Spring 2014 asking for respondents to tell us if the proposed scope for the plan was correct, and if anything should not be included or was missing. Forums for communities, stakeholders and developers were held in late 2014 to share initial findings of the evidence. A ‘Call For Sites’ was commenced inviting the submission of sites that would be 1 Please note that as well as the stages outlined in table 1.0 there was also regular and on going dialogue with key stakeholders including adjoining authorities (please see the Duty to Cooperate Statement of Compliance (November 2017) for more information). -4- VALP Proposed Submission Consultation Statement considered in the technical evidence to inform the VALP site allocations and overall growth capacity. ISSUES AND OPTIONS Regulation 18 In October 2015, we published a VALP Issues and Options document with a draft evidence base for comment. A Draft Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment (HEDNA) and Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) evidence studies were published, along with other evidence to support the VALP Issues and Options. As part of this, exhibitions were held at key larger settlements in the district. The total number of respondents was 771, providing 4,480 individual responses to the questions. A summary report of the issues raised is available at: http://www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/vale-aylesbury-local-plan- %E2%80%93-issues-and-options-consultation DRAFT PLAN Non-Statutory stage On 7 July 2016 we published the next stage of the plan, the VALP Draft Plan, including Policy Map Insets with a suite of supporting documents. This stage of the plan included a developed preferred spatial strategy, fully written policies and proposed allocations. We held an 8-week consultation on this non-statutory Draft Plan stage of VALP between July and September 2016 . This engagement was accompanied by a series of exhibitions and a report of comments received has been published. Please see: http://www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/vale-aylesbury-local-plan-draft- plan. More than 1,600 responses and over 5,000 comments were received. After this time, various evidence documents to inform the next stage of plan making were commissioned or finalised and published when completed. PROPOSED SUBMISSION Regulation 19 During 2017, further evidence to inform the VALP Proposed Submission stage has been completed to inform the Proposed Submission Plan including a Sustainability Appraisal, Habitats Regulation Assessment, transport, viability, landscape, open space/sports, cumulative impact assessment for Aylesbury and an updated Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment. The VALP Proposed Submission was agreed by by full Council on 18 October 2017. The plan has been published for a final period of public comment prior to being Submitted to Government for independent examination. This will take place over a six week period, from 2 November 2017 until 14 December 2017. 1.7 The above table shows how we have fully complied with the requirements in the Regulations in terms of consulting on the content of the emerging VALP. Views collected in response to our 2013 consultation on the now withdrawn Vale of Aylesbury Plan (VAP) also be fed into VALP options consultation October-December 2015. Since the formal commencement of work on the VALP, a comprehensive evidence base has been developed upon which policies and proposals within the emerging VALP has been founded and there has also been extensive engagement with local communities and stakeholders at various key stages. -5- VALP Proposed Submission Consultation Statement 1.8 Throughout the preparation of the VALP, the Council considers it has succeeded in front- loading consultation as far as possible by continuously engaging with local communities, businesses and stakeholders. An example of this is the ‘Call For Sites’ which still continues the opportunity to submit sites for consideration in the next stage of plan making; and also the ongoing engagement with key stakeholders including Buckinghamshire County Council

I shall focus on some of the creativity we have valued in Bucks SACRE this year both from our members and during our visits to schools. In addition, we receive wise counsel from our Education Officer at Bucks CC, Katherine Wells and our RE Adviser Bill Moore. At our meeting in October we learned that Suma Din our Muslim deputy had become a school governor and would no longer fulfil her role with SACRE. However, her legacy to us is her book published by the Institute of Education Press entitled ‘Muslim Mothers and their children’s schooling.’ See SACRED 7, for a review. (For this and all other references to SACRED see the website at the end of this section). In her contribution to SACRED 6 Suma wrote; From the Qur’an, I understand my role as being a ‘steward’ on this earth; one who will take care, take responsibility and hand on a legacy to those who come after them.

Introduction Purpose of the document This Fact Pack document was initially produced in 2010 to help inform the town/parish council about the characteristics of their parish for the ‘community view’ consultation. This consultation was undertaken early on in the preparation of the Vale of Aylesbury Plan as part of a bottom up approach embracing localism and aiming to get local communities more involved in the planning process. The town/parish council were asked to consult with their community on the following: The level of future housing and/or employment development up to 2031, including specific types of homes, employment and other development The location, sizes and phasing of development The types of infrastructure (social, community, physical) needed to enable development, including where it should be located Any other issues relating to planning and development This Fact Pack document has also been used to support neighbourhood planning by providing evidence for the context of the neighbourhood plan, including information on housing, employment, infrastructure and the environment. This Fact Pack document has also been used to support the Vale of Aylesbury Plan Settlement Hierarchy Assessment.

  • Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a Resource Assessment

    Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a Resource Assessment

    Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a resource assessment Inheritance Mobility Although Neolithic populations are thought to have had continued mobility, more and more evidence for Neolithic settlement has come to light. In Buckinghamshire the most important evidence comes from excavations in advance of the construction of Eton Rowing Course (ERC) and the Maidenhead to Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation Scheme (MWEFAS), mainly in the parish of Dorney in South Bucks on the Thames. The evidence points to intensive use of the area by people in the Early Neolithic but it is not certain that it represents year-round sedentary occupation rather than seasonal re-use (Allen et al 2004). Other evidence does point to continued mobility, such as the artefact scatters at Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham (Mitchell 2004) and East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990) for example, reflecting visits over a long period of time. Persistent places Mesolithic persistent places continue to have meaning for Early and later Neolithic populations. These persistent places include East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990, 18) and Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age activity at Chessvale Bowling Club nearby (Halsted 2006, 23-8). Another persistent place seems to have been the lower reaches of the River Colne. Recent excavations at the Sanderson Site, Denham (Halsey 2005) continued the activity from nearby Three Ways Wharf, Uxbridge (Lewis 1991). Other persistent places include the attractive river valley location at Bancroft in Milton Keynes (Williams 1993, 5), and Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham, where the River Thame meets one of its tributaries (Mitchell 2004, 1). These persistent places may have been the basis of evolving ideas about land tenure.

    Final Our School Estate The present and the future A strategy for Buckinghamshire 2008-2011 1 Final Introduction This strategy document seeks to initiate and build a discussion with key stakeholders about the future of our school estate in Buckinghamshire. It is a core document to support our approach to Building Schools for the Future (BSF) and the Primary Capital Programme(PCP). It links to our recently consulted upon Framework for Early Years and School Place planning. The Vision of the Children and Young People’s Trust In Buckinghamshire we want all our children and young people to have the best start in life and to be able to lead safe, healthy and fulfilling lives, and to be able to make a positive contribution to their communities and to society. We will ensure access to a range of universal services as well as developing more targeted services to meet their specialist needs Vision for the School Estate In supporting the implementation of our overall vision for children and young people we are proposing a vision for our school estate “It is our vision to establish a School Estate across Buckinghamshire which: enables children and young people to: • participate in and benefit from a 21 st Century curriculum; • achieve their potential; • have an environment that promotes improved outcomes (healthy, safe, educational and economic); and • enables those who are under-achieving in comparison with their peers to achieve better outcomes. enables schools to: • deliver an innovative and excellent curriculum which meets the needs of their pupils and, where appropriate, close the gap between those achieving and those who are not; • meet the statutory health and safety and other regulatory requirements including appropriate Building Bulletin requirements; and • use their facilities flexibly to meet pupil and community needs more effectively through extended services.
  • Aylesbury Vale Councillor Update Economic Profile of Southcourt Ward

    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.
