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.

Without Shirley’s infectious enthusiasm this project would not have happened. Shirley gave unstintingly of her time and energy to protect the area she loved from HS2, but she also knew the importance of assembling robust evidence, using recognised research methods and arming oneself with the relevant facts and figures to fight a cause. Drive and determination had to matched by the evidence. Shirley wanted a proper baseline study on the value of tourism threatened by HS2. At her specific request we raised the money and commissioned Tourism South East, a specialist tourist organisation with a research arm, to undertake the study. The Chilterns Conservation Board, where Shirley had been a dedicated board member for 10 years, kindly agreed to manage the project. Shirley’s wish was to petition to the Select Committee. Through this report she will.

  • Minutes 26-09-16 Page 1
    Cholesbury-cum-St. Leonards final meeting minutes 26-09-16 Page 1 CHOLESBURY-CUM-ST LEONARDS PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of a Meeting of the Council held in Cholesbury Village Hall on Monday 26th September 2016 at 8pm Present: Cllrs Allen, Blomfield, Brown, Minting, Joseph and Sanger. Also present: Mrs Lewis (Clerk) and County Cllr Birchley. 1989) To receive apologies for absence Cllrs Matthews and District Cllr Rose. 1990) Matters arising None. 1991) To receive declarations of interest None. 1992) Questions from members of the public County Cllr Birchley reported that Buckinghamshire had enjoyed improved GCSE and A level results this summer across the board and that, most importantly, the gap between higher and lower ends of the achievement scale had lessened. The Parish Council asked County Cllr Birchley to report on the business case for a Unitary Authority, recently agreed and sent out for consultation to the public, Parish, Town and District Councils. It is proposed to have one authority combining Aylesbury Vale, Wycombe, Chiltern, South Bucks and Bucks County Council, which it is thought, could save approXimately £18 million per year. Roll-out is anticipated in 2019 with elections held to result in having less than 100 Cllrs, from the current number of over 200. Bucks County Council is currently going through the process of meeting with Town and Parish Councils to present their plans and give the opportunity for comment. The four District Councils are undertaking their own consultations. The presentation to this Parish Council is set for 21/11/16. Cllr Brown questioned whether the ‘Community Boards’ foreseen in the plan (to represent the interests of community organisations and issues at a more local level) would have sufficient influence within the Unitary Authority, taking into account, for eXample, that Parish Councils are not planned to have voting rights on the boards at the same time as potentially have increased functions devolved from the Unitary Authority.
