  • Green Belt Assessment Part Two Draft Report Appendix 5: Completed Assessment Pro Forma Volume 7 – Section 4 Areas: Site Nominations 4.294 to 4.352
    Chiltern District Council and South Bucks District Council Green Belt Assessment Part Two Draft Report Appendix 5: Completed Assessment Pro Forma Volume 7 – Section 4 Areas: Site Nominations 4.294 to 4.352 October 2016 Classification: OFFICIAL Chiltern and South Bucks Green Belt Assessment Part Two Reference No. Area Name Hectares 4.294 Cliveden Stud, Taplow 53.76 Part One General Area No. 73 Boundary Assessment It is not possible to identify a boundary that is permanent and defensible in accordance with NPPF requirements. The proposed site is effectively split into two halves by Huntswood Lane. The northern half is contained on all sides by roads - Cliveden Road to the west, Taplow Common Road to the north/north east, Parliament Lane to the east/south east and Huntswood Lane to the south. However, the southern half of the proposed site lacks the clear definition of the northern half because its long eastern boundary is soft and denoted by a minor track/footpath and the tree line of Hunts Wood. There appears to be no durable defensible boundary along this western edge of the proposed site. Additionally, the proposed site does not abut an existing non-Green Belt settlement and its release would effectively punch a hole in the Green Belt. It is not considered that the proposed boundaries of the identified land would represent an appropriate new Green Belt boundary. Classification: OFFICIAL Classification: OFFICIAL Green Belt Purpose Assessment Not Applicable Exceptional Circumstances Assessment Not Applicable Classification: OFFICIAL Classification: OFFICIAL Chiltern and South Bucks Green Belt Assessment Part Two Reference No.

  • October 2011
    APPENDIX A ELECTORAL REVIEW OF SLOUGH SLOUGH LABOUR GROUP’S AMENDMENT TO SLOUGH BOROUGH COUNCIL’S SUBMISSION ON WARDING ARRANGEMENTS OCTOBER 2011 Included in the table below is the original Slough Borough Council cross party ‘compromise’ agreement ratified by Council on Thursday 29th September, with proposed Labour Group amendments marked in red. Throughout the council’s preparation of the boundary submission, a number of proposals from officers and political groups were worked into a substantive original proposal. This was then amended by several compromises resulting in the submission voted through Council. Despite this, no other groups supported the compromise in the Council despite indications from their working group members that they would. Some have since written letters indicating that they did in fact support the cross party submission while not voting for it in the meeting. As a result of the loss of support for the cross party submission at Council the Labour Group is hereby submitting this alternative proposal which in our opinion ‘tidies up’ a number of boundaries and has the added advantage of bringing the sizes of these wards closer to the 2017 target. By applying more logical boundaries which tie together natural communities on the ground, it is our view that this submission represents a clearer application of the LGBCE’s criteria and our own desire to create cohesive electoral wards. In the working party and from comments made by members in Council, there is general agreement from members of all political groups around the working groups’ proposals for 8 wards of the town (Farnham, Baylis & Stoke, Elliman, Wexham Lea, Cippenham Green, Cippenham Meadowns, Chalvey, Central*), and this Labour Group submission makes no changes to these.
