  • HS2 E Update June 2021
    HS2 E Update June 2021 What is Buckinghamshire Council doing on behalf of residents? Councillor Peter Martin has been appointed as Deputy Cabinet Member for Transport with responsibility for HS2 and EWR. Since his appointment, Councillor Martin has been undertaking site visits, attending meetings and meeting affected communities. In the last month or so Buckinghamshire Council issued a number of press releases on the design of the Amersham Vent Shaft headhouse, the A413 road closure detailed below, our concerns around tunnelling on the aquifer and Wendover Dean Viaduct. With regards to our recent approval of the Schedule 17 application for Wendover Dean Viaduct, we commissioned external advice regarding noise issues raised by local communities, as it was important that we ensured we had sufficient information to take the decision. HS2 Ltd/Align needed to close the A413 for weekend working to carry out utility works. Buckinghamshire Council initially refused permission for 2 weekend closures and continued to discuss plans for these proposed works to cause the least disruption possible. We have worked with HS2 Ltd/Align to reduce the impacts by limiting the works to a single weekend and providing mitigation. The closure took place from 9pm on 18 June until 5am on 21 June and no major disruption was reported and works were completed to schedule. Buckinghamshire Council has written to HS2 Ltd with a long list of questions regarding the potential impact of tunnelling and other structures on the Chilterns aquifer and chalk streams. HS2 Ltd has until now played down any risks to the aquifer but a recent article takes a more cautious approach and admits they face ‘significant challenges’ to stop cement leaking into the water system.

In the light of changes to the planning regime it was being produced in separate parts and this first part covered the strategic policies. Once the Strategy part had completed its statutory process, the Development Management (VAP Delivery) and if needed allocations policies would be prepared. The submission of this Plan would need to be agreed by Council and at their meeting on 9 October, Cabinet would be asked to recommend this to Council for the meeting on 17 October. The Plan had been prepared in accordance with the decisions of Cabinet on 14 August 2012 which covered the accelerated production of the Strategy Document, as well as the level of jobs and homes growth and the apportionment of that growth across the District to be used as the basis of VAP work. In preparing the Plan, account had to be taken of relevant international, national, regional, and local policies. A list of all the plans and policies that had been considered during the preparation of VAP were included in the Sustainability Appraisal. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) published in March 2012 had replacing the majority of previous national planning guidance in Planning Policy Statements and Planning Policy Guidance notes.

  • Herefore a True Representation of the Views of the Weedon Village Community in 2011 and of Its Wishes for Weedon's Future
    Final Cover:Layout 1 3/4/11 21:24 Page 1 The production of this Parish Plan for Weedon Village was initiated by the Parish Council in late 2008, and completed in early 2011. The village community was substantially and actively involved in the process. 22% of households contributed members of the Steering Committee or Working Groups, took part in writing, designing and editing the Plan document, or provided pictures, maps and research data. 66% of households completed the detailed questionnaire. We believe the Plan is therefore a true representation of the views of the Weedon village community in 2011 and of its wishes for Weedon's future.
