Five Year Housing Land Supply Position Statement AYLESBURY VALE DISTRICT COUNCIL Five Year Housing Land Supply Position Statement April 2019 Planning Policy AYLESBURY VALE DISTRICT COUNCIL The Gateway, Gatehouse Road, Aylesbury Bucks, HP19 8FF Tel: 01296 585866 Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/section/planning-policy Summary Paragraph 73 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, February 2019), requires authorities to identify and update annually a supply of deliverable sites sufficient to provide five years’ worth of housing against their housing requirements set out in adopted strategic policies, or against their local housing need [using the standard method for calculating local housing need] where the strategic policies are more than five years old. As the adopted Aylesbury Vale District Local Plan (AVDLP) is now more than five years old, in accordance with the NPPF published in February 2019, the council has identified and updated a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years’ worth of housing supply against its minimum local housing need (LHN) defined using the new standard method for calculating local housing need. The Government has confirmed1 the basis of the LHN calculation as the 2014-based household projections, Table 1 below sets out the land supply calculations for Aylesbury Vale against the council’s local housing need as established by the Standard Methodology against the CLG 2014- based household projections (and 2018 affordability ratios).

This position statement replaces the June 2018 position statement and takes into account the 2019 revised NPPF, the new Planning Practice Guidance and the latest situation on the emerging Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan which is currently being examined. The next full position statement will be produced in summer 2019 and include the data of the monitoring year 2018/19. For this future statement, the council will make every effort to ensure that at the time of preparing the position statement, its forecasts of housing land supply are robust and incorporate up to date information. This will include: recent survey data on build progress of large housing sites and feedback/ contact between the council and landowners/ developers on the likely timescales for the development of their sites to ensure the council is able to show clear evidence that housing completions will begin on site within five years. To achieve this housing supply, it has been assessed based on the 2019 NPPF definition of “deliverable”. Further information on the approach is set out in the supporting technical note at Appendix A. In accordance with the NPPF, Aylesbury Vale District Council is able to show a five year supply of deliverable housing sites applying the appropriate buffer of 5% based on previous levels of good delivery and a 2018 Housing Delivery Test result of 133%. The calculation above in Tables 1 and 2 clearly demonstrates that Aylesbury Vale District Council has over 5 years worth of deliverable housing supply against its local housing need. Therefore, in accordance with NPPF para 73 Aylesbury Vale is able to demonstrate a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years’ worth of housing against its Local Housing Need as strategic policies in the adopted Aylesbury Vale District Local Plan 2004 are more than five years old. Further information and justification for this approach is set out in the supporting technical note at Appendix A. The monitoring of the future housing supply is detailed in the “Aylesbury Vale District Housing Trajectory 2013-2033” (Appendices C-E) and the “List of deliverable sites contributing to the 2 projected housing supply excluding proposed VALP allocations ” with commentary on achievability (Appendix F). APPENDIX A Five-Year Housing Land Supply Technical Note: April 2019 1. Introduction 1.1 Paragraph 73 of the updated National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2019), published 19 February 2019, states that: “Local planning authorities should identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years’ worth of housing against their housing requirement set out in adopted strategic policies, or against their local housing need where the strategic policies are more than five years old.” 1.2 This position statement meets that requirement to demonstrate a supply of deliverable sites and sets out the approach to meeting housing requirements in Aylesbury Vale pending the adoption of the new local plan, the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (VALP). It sets out the Aylesbury Vale District Council five year housing land supply It replaces the previously published June 2018 Five Year housing land supply annual position statement which was based on the content of a previous version of the NPPF. 2. Headline Figures 2.1 Aylesbury Vale has 5.64 years worth of deliverable housing supply against its local housing need. This is based on: An identified supply of 8,544 deliverable homes in the next five years (2018/19- 2022/23) in accordance with the 2019 definition2 of deliverable sites and a total supply of 8,589 when factoring in a windfall allowance and a non-implementation deduction. An annual local housing need (using the standard method for calculating local housing need) of either 1,451 dwellings per year (based on the CLG 2014-based household projections) A 5% buffer to ensure choice and competition in the market for land, as the result of the Government’s 2018 Housing Delivery Test is 133% Further information and supporting justification for this approach is set out below. 2 See NPPF 2019 Glossary on page 66 the term ‘deliverable’ https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/revised-national- planning-policy-framework#revised-national-planning-policy-framework 3 3. Further Information and Supporting Justification Identified Supply of Deliverable Sites 3.1 The housing trajectory at Appendices C-E identify that 8,544 homes will be delivered in Aylesbury Vale in the next five year period 2018/19-2022/23. 3.2 The supply for Aylesbury Vale in this position statement is derived from the following sources of new housing (on sites as at 31 March 2018) where deliverability can be evidenced: sites with unimplemented planning permissions sites that do not yet have planning permission but where there is a resolution to grant permission, subject to a S106 or planning obligation agreement made neighbourhood plan allocations (without planning permission) sites that have been approved via notification to come forward under permitted development rights proposed allocations in the VALP submission plan sites with extra care units 3.3 Appendix D and F to this statement are full lists of sites of 5 dwellings, set out as a trajectory (D) and as a list with deliverability commentary (F). Appendix G is a full list of sites under 5 dwellings. Deliverability of the Supply 3.4 The NPPF (2019) Annexe 2 defines a site as ‘Deliverable’ as follows: “To be considered deliverable, sites for housing should be available now, offer a suitable location for development now, and be achievable with a realistic prospect that housing will be delivered on the site within five years. In particular: a) sites which do not involve major development and have planning permission, and all sites with detailed planning permission, should be considered deliverable until permission expires, unless there is clear evidence that homes will not be delivered within five years (for example because they are no longer viable, there is no longer a demand for the type of units or sites have long term phasing plans). b) where a site has outline planning permission for major development, has been allocated in a development plan, has a grant of permission in principle, or is identified on a brownfield register, it should only be considered deliverable where there is clear evidence that housing completions will begin on site within five years.” 3.5 Planning Practice Guidance (2018) section ‘Housing and economic land availability assessment’ Paragraph 036 sets out that the ‘clear evidence’ to demonstrate that housing completions will begin within 5 years may include: Any progress being made towards the submission of an application; Any progress with site assessment work; and Any relevant information about site viability, ownership constraints or infrastructure provision.

  • 5 Year Housing Land Supply Position Statement June 2018
    Aylesbury Vale District Council - Five year housing land supply position statement, June 2018 Purpose of this position statement 1.0 Paragraph 47-49 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, 2012) requires local planning authorities to identify and keep up-to-date a deliverable five year housing land supply against their housing requirements. Where the Council cannot demonstrate a 5 year housing land supply, there is a presumption in favour of sustainable development in line with the NPPF (para 14). Having an understanding of supply is also key to fulfilling the NPPF requirement to demonstrate the expected rate of housing delivery and how housing targets will be met (paragraph 47). 1.1 This position statement sets out the approach to meeting housing requirements in Aylesbury Vale pending the adoption of the new Local Plan (the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan, VALP). This statement sets out how the current housing supply has been calculated, and the housing requirement target, to be used by the Council in order to apply the appropriate development plan policy tests and the tests set out in the NPPF when determining relevant planning applications in the period before VALP is adopted. 1.2 The five year housing land supply calculation is dynamic and changes as planning permissions are granted and as existing commitments are completed. Therefore it is important that any developer considering submitting a planning application should consider the latest position on the five year housing supply calculation from the Council. It is intended that the position statement is a living draft that will be regularly updated as the evidence emerges through the Local Plan preparation processes.

This Volume, forming the first, it may be hoped, of a series containing the whole of extant Buckinghamshire Registers down to the year 1812, includes the Marriage Registers of nine parishes. The need there is to preserve the contents of our ancient Registers from the risks of fire, theft, forgery and natural decay is well illustrated by this Volume. The Registers should commence in 1538, the date when they were established at the instance of Thomas Cromwell, yet only three commence earlier than 1624, viz. : Cheddington, 1552 ; Cholesbury, 1583 ; and Edlesborough, 1562. Of the rest, four begin in the Seventeenth Century, viz. : Mentmore, 1685; Pitstone, 1653; Slapton, 1653; and Soulbury, 1624. One other does not begin till the Eighteenth Century, viz, : Masworth. 1730. 'I'he Registers of Hawridge have wholely disappeared. 1379047 That earlier Registers existed is proved by the little known Transcripts at Lincoln and Aylesbury, which, in the case of the following six parishes, enable us to carry the records to much earlier dates than the Registers themselves.

  • Pitstone Hill —A Study in Field Archaeology James F
    PITSTONE HILL —A STUDY IN FIELD ARCHAEOLOGY JAMES F. DYER and ANTHONY J. HALES TRAVELLERS between Tring and Dunstable are invariably impressed by the great mass of Ivinghoe Beacon, but seldom notice the range of hills that sweep south-westwards from the Beacon in a great curve towards the Hertfordshire village of Aldbury. At the focus of this curve lies Pitstone Hill, with Aldbury Nowers beyond, an isolated boomerang-shaped range, two miles long and in places over 700 feet high. Geologically, Pitstone Hill is composed of the middle and lower chalk with a thin clay-with-flint capping, which at the southern end of the hill supports beech woods. On its northern side the hill is open downland, dotted with patches of scrub on the steeper slopes, and providing useful pasturage for cattle. The Hill is the property of the Snowcem Cement Company, who are at present quarrying on the north-west side of it. The public have free access to the un- ploughed area. Situated half in Buckinghamshire and half in Hertfordshire, Pitstone Hill lies two and a half miles north-east of Tring and eight miles due east of Aylesbury. (Nat. Grid Ref. SP/950142.) (Fig. 2.) In August, 1958, during the course of fieldwork along the Romanized Ick- nield Way (Roman Road 168a1), Mr R. W. Bagshawe investigated the state- ment of R. Hippisley Cox2: .. near a group of pit dwellings, Pitstone Hill is crossed by a transverse ditch deep enough to hide a horse and his rider." This ditch is marked on all modern large, medium and 1-inch scale Ordnance Survey maps (SP/952147).

  • The Inclosure of Pitstone Common Wood in 1612 H
    THE INCLOSURE OF PITSTONE COMMON WOOD IN 1612 H. A. HANLEY An episode in the piecemeal extinction of common rights over large areas of the Chi/terns is here traced in detail.
