Introduction Purpose of the document This Fact Pack document was initially produced in 2010 to help inform the parish council about the characteristics of their parish for the ‘community view’ consultation. This consultation was undertaken early on in the preparation of the Vale of Aylesbury Plan as part of a bottom up approach embracing localism and aiming to get local communities more involved in the planning process. The parish council were asked to consult with their community on the following: The level of future housing and/or employment development up to 2031, including specific types of homes, employment and other development The location, sizes and phasing of development The types of infrastructure (social, community, physical) needed to enable development, including where it should be located Any other issues relating to planning and development This Fact Pack document has also been used to support the Vale of Aylesbury Plan Settlement Hierarchy Assessment. This forms part of the evidence that classifies settlements into different categories, where different levels of growth are apportioned to over the next 20 years. The document also forms part of the background work relating to Neighbourhood Plans as well as the production of the Vale of Aylesbury Plan. The Fact Pack does not form planning policy for Aylesbury Vale. What the Fact Pack includes The content of the Fact Pack reflects the size of the parish or town, providing the most detail for larger villages/towns which are likely to experience greater levels of growth, compared to smaller parishes/villages which are likely to experience less growth. Smaller parish’s Fact Packs have a more limited content in the Fact Packs. Fact Packs for smaller parishes/villages identify the following information: Location and setting within the district (relationship to other settlements) Social demographics (population and age profile) Housing profile (dwelling types, tenure, occupancy, past completions and commitments, average house prices, housing needs waiting list and gypsy and traveller sites) Economic profile (employment change of B use classes looking back 5 years, sectors of employment and levels of economic activity) Issues facing the parish (e.g. infrastructure and local services deficits) 2 Environmental constraints (maps to identify agricultural land quality, landscape sensitivities, biological constraints, flooding and historic constraints) Where possible information in the Fact Pack has been supplemented with information from the town/parish council to draw upon local knowledge, particularly for the section on issues relating to the parish. Some town/parish councils have also published the document on their website for the community to view and use. In addition to this Fact Pack, a district wide Fact Pack has been written to develop an understanding at the strategic level on the availability of infrastructure, services, facilities, planning issues and environmental constraints. This can be viewed on our website1. Availability of data Statistics identified in the Fact Pact are primarily from Census data (2001), AVDC monitoring data (updated annually) and research carried out by Buckinghamshire County Council. There are also a number of websites that have been used to retrieve information, such as crime statistics, broadband coverage and housing sales. Where possible, parish level data has been used. If this level of data is not available super output area (SOA) boundaries or ward boundaries have been used (often these cover a larger area than just the settlement). The boundaries of the parish, SOA and ward can be viewed on map 1 in this document (on page 4). This Fact Pack is a ‘living document’ which is intended to be regularly updated. Information contained within the Fact Pack is correct at the time of writing. It is acknowledged that some of the information may change over time and the Fact Packs will be updated accordingly. 1 District Fact Pack http://www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/local‐development‐plans/planning‐policy/vale‐of‐aylesbury‐ plan‐/fact‐packs/ 3 2.

Key Ward boundary Super Output Areas Boundaries Parish Boundary Facts and figures have been identified relating to three different geographical boundaries depending on the source of the information.

INTRODUCTION This study of Thomley (S P 631090) covers the period 1086-1349, with emphasis on the 13th and early 14th centuries. ILs main purpose is to explain the eventual desertion of the settlement through an examination of land-tenure and local society. While there are indications that smallholders, even those with half a yardland or less, were not badly off, it is equally clear that the village was declining in this period: between 1279 and 1377 the recorded population dropped by at least a third. Thomley's final extinction lay in the 16th-century enclosures, but its decay can probably be traced back to earlier circumstances: its marginal position between two larger villages, the lack of any focus such as a church or market, and a tendency for holdings to pass into the hands of outside proprietors.

  • Ickford Parish Council
    Ickford Parish Council The Oxford-Cambridge Expressway This article is to raise awareness about the proposed Oxford-Cambridge Expressway. Planning of the proposed new road so far Much has been written about the proposed new road and its possible impact on Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. The Government’s perspective is given in many documents, and two key ones can be found here https://www.nic.org.uk/publications/partnering-prosperity-new-deal-cambridge-milton-keynes-oxford-arc/ https://www.nic.org.uk/publications/future-development-concepts/ The planning that has taken place so far has mostly been carried out by Highways England (a Government company) in secret. There is a list of registered stakeholders (including county councils, businesses, wildlife trusts etc.) who are invited to periodic presentations by Highways England, but there has not been consultation of any sort with the affected communities. Local Councils should have alerted Local Parishes which in turn should have alerted their parishioners, but this hasn’t happened robustly, and in some cases, the Local Councils claim to have been kept in the dark. In short, there has been no regular flow of information from the planners to the affected communities. There were some meetings in November for Parish Councillors and registered Stakeholders to attend, but none of these involved the local communities. Indeed, most communities and Parish Councils do not feel empowered to, or know how to, contribute and try to affect Highways England’s planning. Across the arc of the corridor, the Government wants to build one million new homes by 2050, housing about 2 million more people.
