This Development Plan, the most important yet produced for our District, reflects - even anticipates - change in a way that earlier plans did not come close to doing. Yet the Council's corporate mission - to make Aylesbury Vale the best possible place for people to live and work - remains a timeless guiding principle. So comprehensive is this District Local Plan for Aylesbury Vale that it will affect the lives of people over the next seven years to 2011. There are two main themes: sustainability and accessibility. Sustainability, in its purest sense, requires us to take no more from the environment than we put back. The Council has striven to minimise consumption of natural resources by looking carefully at the demands development makes on land, air and water, and its impact on the natural and historical environment.

  • The Roads and Railways
    The Roads and Railways ntil the eighteenth century, villagers travelled slowly on local by- ways and drove roads. Local landowners and gentry helped improve Utransport by financing the first turnpike roads at the end of the seventeenth century. They were managed by local trusts and the costs of construction were recouped by tolls collected by pikemen. The Temple family of Stowe helped finance the turnpike that passed Finmere. It ran from Bedford via Stony Stratford, Buckingham, Tingewick, Aynho and Banbury to Warmington in Warwickshire. The section that bypassed Finmere (the old B4031) was the first to be built in 1744. There was a turnpike at ‘Finmere 1784 2000 Warren Gates,’ the tolls from which produced an income of £253 a year in 1784. After construction of the turnpike, the old Roman road was left as a £253 £20,000 bridleway. In 1813, a turnpike branch was laid from the Red Lion to Bicester. The Stowe Road Dadford ord Temple, Richard Grenville, inherited Stowe in 1749.

Introduction Purpose of the document This Fact Pack document was initially produced in 2010 to help inform the town/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 town/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 neighbourhood planning by providing evidence for the context of the neighbourhood plan, including information on housing, employment, infrastructure and the environment. 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 bridge is protected as a scheduled ancient monument because it is an outstanding example of Victorian railway engineering, but it also has many stories to tell about nineteenth century transport history. The last train ran over the bridge in 1984. From then, it was always hoped it could be restored LMS locomotive 8106 reversing into over the swing bridge into the ‘Shipley’ sidings in 1942.

  • Oxford Rewley Road Railway Swing Bridge: Communicating the Value of a Redundant Industrial Relic
    Article published in Institute of Field Archaeologist – Buildings Archaeology Newsletter, Spring 2012. Oxford Rewley Road Railway Swing Bridge: Communicating the value of a redundant industrial relic. Jacquie Martinez, Oxford Preservation Trust. In a time of sustainable development, when new planning policies are increasingly calling for every structure to have a purpose, the plight of redundant industrial relics is becoming more prominent. In this climate there is a growing need for restoration projects involving industrial structures that cannot easily provide viable economic regeneration opportunities to investigate a wider range of values and to find ways to communicate their importance effectively to the public. One such structure is the Oxford Rewley Road Railway Swing Bridge. While the bridge does not look like much in its current state, it is in fact a Scheduled Ancient Monument and holds significant heritage value. Nestled within a modern housing estate alongside the Sheepwash Channel, a busy navigable waterway that cuts between the Thames and the Oxford Canal, these values are not easily distinguishable. The restoration of this structure is currently being undertaken by the Oxford Preservation Trust, an organisation that is all too aware that in the current climate this restoration project must go far beyond the remit of mere physical restoration. The Trust recognises the need to find a way to interpret and communicate the unique values associated with this structure to a wider public in order to secure its on-going preservation and allow it to effectively tell its story. The Oxford Rewley Road Swing Bridge is the last physical reminder of the now non-existent London Birmingham Railway (LBR) backed Buckinghamshire Railway line (later by the London Midland Scottish Railway (LMS)).
