  • Advice from Buckinghamshire County Council to Aylesbury Vale District Council Concerning Changes to Housing Allocations
    Advice from Buckinghamshire County Council to Aylesbury Vale District Council concerning changes to housing allocations Summary Following the VALP Examination in Public, AVDC and BCC commissioned additional transport modelling reports to further examine points raised during the EiP and in the Inspector’s Interim Conclusions which were: - BUC051 had been omitted from the Countywide modelling Phase 3 work - Concerns about the impact on Buckingham Town Centre of BUC051, and whether without mitigation BUC051 could be released on a phased basis - The need to identify additional housing sites This Advice Note sets out Buckinghamshire County Council’s view concerning the above issues taking into account the transport modelling work, previous planning applications and their transport assessments as well as our local knowledge of the transport network. Buckingham In relation to Buckingham, our view is that the detailed town centre modelling shows that BUC051 would have an unacceptable impact on the town centre, even if the development was phased. The only mitigation to congestion in the town centre that we have been able to identify is the Western Relief Road, as set out in the Buckingham Transport Strategy. However, it has been acknowledged that the scale of the proposed BUC051 allocation would be insufficient to provide funding for this mitigation measure. One option would be to increase the size of the allocation in order that the development was able to deliver the relief road. However, this would lead to a much larger allocation at Buckingham resulting in further modelling work being required to assess the potential impact on the A421. This suggestion does not take into account any site constraints such as flood risk.

It will be valid until 2033. A Neighbourhood Plan is only concerned with land use and development, not community facilities directly, although it can be used to propose detailed actions and use of S106 agreements by directing funding as suggested during the evidence gathering. This Plan is not intended to simply restrict or prevent development occurring in the Parish, but will focus the local Planning Authority’s attention on the wishes of us, the residents, in the development of Wendover. It will serve as an aide to help developers focus on the requisites for successful and appropriate development, sympathetic to our Parish, the history and setting within the Green Belt and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

  • High Wycombe
    Public Health Community Board Profile 2020 – High Wycombe Why are communities important for our health? The community we live in is one of the most important factors for our health. We thrive in communities with strong social ties, a feeling of togetherness and a sense of belonging. Our local social, economic and physical environment can affect our health directly, the health behaviours we adopt such as being physically active, and sometimes whether we access health and care services. The local environment we live in is vitally important throughout the whole of our life course, from before we are born right up until the end of our lives. The indicators included in this Community Board Profile are all important markers of the health and wellbeing of your community, and highlight areas where things are going well but also importantly where improvements can be made. Strong communities will be a key driver for recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please note that this profile is a high level overview of health and wellbeing indicators from existing data. Communities will have more intelligence on local issues and assets which can be incorporated into the full picture of local needs and how they can best be met. The people in your community It is important to understand who lives in your community to understand their health and wellbeing. Factors such as age, ethnicity and level of deprivation influence our physical and mental health. Understanding these factors may help decide which interventions may be needed to improve the overall health and wellbeing of the community.

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.
