All Rights Reserved 1 Heritage Appraisal 1 Introduction 1.1 RAF Halton, Site HAL003, is allocated in the Proposed Submission VALP for approximately 1,000 dwellings, recognising its sustainable location, the capacity of the site and its environment and surrounding landscapes to accommodate development sensitively, and its ability to consistently deliver housing through the plan period in tandem with infrastructure. This Heritage Appraisal has been prepared by JLL Heritage to inform the allocation as well as the concept masterplan. 1.2 As such, the allocation of the site has been informed by JLL Heritage’s appraisal of RAF Halton. The Local Plan is a strategic document allocating site which the Council considers have capacity to accommodate development with the detailed design (which in this case would address the key heritage considerations) forthcoming in any applications for planning permission and/or listed building consent. It is on this basis that the allocation of the site is fully in accordance with the statutory duty and NPPF and is therefore sound. 1.3 Site HAL003 comprises a number of grade II listed buildings as well as a scheduled ancient monument, the significance of which may be impacted as a result of the proposed redevelopment of the site. As such, there is a requirement to ensure that any heritage sensitivities are given consideration and used to inform the master- planning process. As part of this allocation, the local planning authority has identified that the grade II listed Groves and Henderson barracks could be converted into up to 200 dwellings subject to viability. An exercise considering conversion of these buildings has been carried out by PRP and should be read alongside this Heritage Appraisal. 1.4 A further assessment, which sets out the significance of the heritage assets located on the site, will be required1. This is needed to ensure that the significance of the assets identified, including any contribution made by their setting, are preserved or enhanced as part of the redevelopment of the site, a requirement of both national and local planning policy. 1 NPPF (2012) Paragraph 128 (p.30) COPYRIGHT © JONES LANG LASALLE IP, INC. 2018. All Rights Reserved 2 Heritage Appraisal 2 History and Development 2.1 The earliest record of the Halton estate dates to the late C10, the estate and its manor were, at this time, in the possession of the monastery of Christchurch, Canterbury. Following the Norman invasion, the manor of Halton was granted to Archbishop Lanfranch, the first Norman Archbishop of Canterbury. The reference to Halton in the Doomsday book of 1086 shows that it was relatively wealthy, supporting seven plough teams, a watermill and numerous areas of woodland. 2.2 In 1720, following a period of multiple ownerships during the Middle Ages, the estate was purchased by Sir Francis Dashwood for £19,000. Dashwood owned a large number of surrounding estates, though his family seat was at West Wycombe Park. By the mid C18, the Halton estate comprised approximately 1,500 acres of farm land and a modest Palladian-style manor house which was situated near the church Halton village. 2.3 The Halton estate continued to pass through the Dashwood family and in 1815, when Sir John Dashwood-King bequeathed West Wycombe Park to his son George, Sir John relocated to the smaller estate of Halton, establishing himself in the main house. Upon the death of Sir John in 1849, his son inherited in excess of £10,000 of debt. As a result, the Halton estate was amongst a number of which were offered for sale in order to raise the necessary sums. 2.4 Baron Lionel de Rothschild purchased the Halton estate on behalf of the Rothschild family in the mid-1800s for £47,000. Prior to the purchase of the Halton estate, Lionel had already established a country residence at Gunnersbury Park and also kept a townhouse in London. As a result, the Halton estate and existing Palladian-style manor house were not inhabited by him or any of the family at this time. As a result, the house was left vacant, slowly decayed and was later demolished in 1879. Figure 2.1 – 1884 OS plan 2.5 In 1879, Alfred inherited the estate from his father, by which time it covered approximately 1,500 acres and boasted many tenant farmers and much agricultural land, though it lacked a residence of a suitable size and grandeur. During the 1880s, Alfred embarked upon an ambitious project to construct a grand mansion house at Halton in the style of a French Renaissance château, a style which was closely associated with the C19 nouveaux riches. The site chosen for the house was approximately half a mile from the village, on a hilltop which commanded views of the surrounding area. 2.6 Alfred remained a bachelor throughout his life and had few personal ties, he was also part of the third generation of English Rothschilds for whom work at the family bank was becoming increasingly less vital. Alfred had inherited a large fortune and was under much less pressure to adhere to social norms or familial COPYRIGHT © JONES LANG LASALLE IP, INC. 2018. All Rights Reserved 3 Heritage Appraisal responsibilities. Consequently, Alfred was able to devote a significant amount of time and resources to his project. 2.7 The house was constructed at remarkable speed and was completed within three years (1880 – 1883), principally for the purposes of entertaining members of Victorian high society. During the same period, part of Halton village was rebuilt for estate workers, these buildings have retained the Rothschild hallmark with decorative drawings on the external plasterwork. 2.8 In 1913, Alfred Rothschild invited the 1st Brigade of Guards and support units to use land within his Halton Estate to undertake summer manoeuvres. Halton was established as an army camp by September 1913, with the tented accommodation being replaced by wooden hutting for 12,000 men in 1915. Sir Hugh Trenchard, Chief of Air Staff, viewed the establishment of a central training facility as a fundamental building block of an independent technology-based service. Ongoing plans to centralise technical training for the Royal Flying Corps lead to RFC personnel being transferred to take over the army camp at Halton during the summer of 1917. 2.9 Following the death of Alfred Rothschild in 1918, Lord Trenchard insisted that the Crown purchase the Halton estate in order to provide a permanent base for the expanding Royal Air Force (RAF). From 1918 until the early 1920s, General Sir Hugh Trenchard concentrated on developing the site’s strategic role as an offensive bomber force. His primary considerations were in laying the foundations of technology-based services through the training of officers at Cranwell and technicians at Halton. 2.10 The Grove and Henderson Barracks (formerly known as Bulback Barracks) were constructed immediately after the First World War and were specifically designed as a permanent base for the world’s first independent air force. As such, the buildings which comprise Grove and Henderson Barracks played a significant role in the early development of British military air power. 2.11 The expansion of RAF Halton continued when it became the home of the Aircraft Apprenticeship Scheme, in which high performing boys would receive three years of training as opposed to the five year duration of the usual civilian apprentices. The first group of apprentices arrived in 1922 and technical training continued until 1994 at which point the facility was transferred elsewhere.

  • Waddesdon Unveils 2021 Programme
    Life-sized elephants, painterly images of beautiful roses, the kitchen where Queen Victoria sent her own chef to learn and unseen paintings by Gustave Moreau – Waddesdon announces its 2021 programme Emerging from the gloom of 2020, next year looks rosier. Not least because Waddesdon’s 2021 season includes the second instalment of Nick Knight’s Roses from my Garden, a series of superb large-scale still life images with echoes of artists like Brueghel and van Huysum, yet wholly contemporary, extended from 2020. Also, from February, the history and secrets of the Manor’s kitchen and the people who worked in it will be revealed in a fascinating new display, while an exhibition of Gustave Moreau’s watercolours that have not been seen in public for 115 years is sure to be a highlight of summer. History of the Manor Kitchen 3 February – 7 March Manor Restaurant As a summer retreat from London and a magnificent setting for weekend house parties, Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild’s Waddesdon was the last word in luxury and refinement, not least through what was served from its cellars and large kitchen. Guests included Queen Victoria and her son, the Prince of Wales (and future King Edward VII). In 1891, just 24 staff ran the house, but this number would double when the Baron was entertaining and his French chef and Italian pastry-chef came down from London. Such was their artistry in the kitchen, that Queen Victoria sent her own chef to learn from Ferdinand’s after her visit in 1890. Waddesdon – A Rothschild House & Gardens, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP18 0JH England www.waddesdon.org.uk When the house was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1957, the Manor Kitchen was converted to a tearoom.

  • RAF Halton Is One of the Largest RAF Stations in Terms of Numbers of Personnel in the UK
    Vale of Aylesbury Draft Local Plan Consultation, July-September 2016. Representation by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation on behalf of the Ministry of Defence Background 1 RAF Halton is one of the largest RAF stations in terms of numbers of personnel in the UK. It is currently the RAF’s major site for development training for Airmen and women. The Station forms an important part of the local economy and community and includes extensive areas of built development. 2 RAF Halton covers approximately 291 hectares and consists of 2 sites straddling the B4009. East Camp contains living, messing, welfare, social and support facilities. West Camp contains training, teaching; administration and sports facilities. North of West Camp is Kermode Hall the SNCO’s mess whilst the Grade II* listed Halton Hall acts as the Officers’ Mess. The grounds of Halton Hall are listed parklands of high landscape quality. There is a Neolithic Long Barrow within East Camp. Topography and adjacent woodlands limits views over the Station from surrounding areas. 3 Whilst the Station does contain some important heritage assets and areas of high environmental quality the majority of the site is ordinary or low in terms of landscape value. Detail of Representation 4. The DIO previously made representations at the Issues and Options stage of the Local Plan, December 2015. At that time DIO asked the Council to consider as part of the Joint Review of the Green Belt whether there were areas of the site within the current Green Belt that should no longer be categorised as such. 5. DIO contended that in the context of the extensive built development on large areas of the RAF Halton estate that the Council should consider the appropriateness of these areas remaining in Green Belt as these areas perform poorly against the Green Belt purposes set out in National policy.

  • 4 Archaeological & Historical Development
    Wendover Historic Town Assessment Draft Report 4 Archaeological & Historical Development 4.1 Prehistoric period (c.10,000 BC – AD 43) Evidence for the prehistoric period in Wendover has been limited to chance finds, while a greater number of artefacts have been collected during fieldwalking projects in fields around the town. A number of Neolithic flint flakes have been recovered at locations including south of Rowborough Copse and north of The Hale (HER 0222900000). Two Neolithic flint axes were found in gardens at Elthorne and at Cobblershill Farm Cottages (HER 0015100000). Neolithic flints found in the garden of 13 Pound Street (HER 0096000000). In the surrounding landscape evidence is more abundant. Wendover is in close proximity to the Chilterns scarp, one of richest areas of surviving visible prehistoric monuments in the South East. One of the earliest sites was found at Wendover Woods with the discovery of Mesolithic stone tools, (HER 0571902000). At nearby Halton Camp there is a possible Neolithic long barrow (HER 0223000000). On Bacombe Hill, there are two unexcavated barrows dating to the Neolithic/Bronze Age (HER 0001100000). A number of late prehistoric flint flakes and tools were found on the ground surface around the monuments. On Boddington Hill overlooking Wendover, there is also more substantial evidence for later prehistoric settlement in the form of a late Bronze Age or early Iron Age hillfort (HER 0415000000). This scheduled ancient monument is a univallate enclosure, measuring approximately 500m x 200m. Situated on the promontory of the hill, the site has a commanding view of the Vale of Aylesbury to the north and the Wendover valley to the south.

  • Royal Air Force College Journal
    THE ROYAL AIR FORCE COLLEGE JOURNAL CRANWELL AUGUST 2016 VOL LXXXV ROYAL AIR FORCE COLLEGE CRANWELL JOURNAL VOLUME LXXXV Editorial Board Editor-in-Chief Air Commodore C J Luck Editor Mrs A Sturtridge Page 1 FOREWORD By Air Commodore C J Luck Welcome to first edition of the revitalised Journal of the RAF College. After a hiatus of several years it has been re-born as a largely electronic publication with a limited run of hard copies. There is much that you might recognise from earlier editions and the editorial team have aimed to reflect the wide range of activity at Cranwell over the last year. It has been a very busy year for the RAF College. There have been significant changes coming out of SDSR15 which have led to an increase in the number of Phase 1 courses going through the College and an increase in the number of Officer Cadets on each course. This will feed an uplift in the number of Phase 2 trainees at Cranwell and elsewhere. In order to manage this increase in the training task the IOT course has been shortened from 30 weeks to 24 weeks. Considerable efforts have been made to ensure that the new course is more efficient and to protect key learning objectives. The College has continued to support a very busy calendar of events in the last year. With over 900 applications for events at Cranwell we have focussed on those which meet our training and engagement objectives while supporting the wider RAF. This year they mark their 75th Anniversary with a parade and Cranwell celebrated 100 years as a military flying “extravaganza” in front of College Hall.
