North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Most of East Hendred parish is within the North Wessex Downs Area of Natural Beauty (AONB). Indeed the A417 is the northern boundary of this AONB and it stretches down to just north of Andover ( see map below). The AONB, desig- nated in 1972, covers 668 sq miles (equivalent in size to a small county), with a population of 125,000 people, mainly concentrated in the two market towns of Hungerford and Marl- borough. It also encompasses 173 parishes, one of which is East Hendred. The designation of AONB status confers formal recognition that the natural beauty of the area is of national importance. The Vale District Council’s Local Plan has specific guidance on AONBs. It states that the Council will seek to ensure that any new development is not visually prominent, reflects the character of its surroundings in terms of scale and design and external appearance and that the choice of materials, lighting and associated landscaping do not detract from vantage points or otherwise spoil the appreciation of the area’s landscape quality. In respect to planning The Vale District Council’s Policy (NE6) states that: “Development in the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty will only be permitted if the natural beauty of the landscape will be conserved or enhanced. Development which would be visually prominent , would detract from views from public vantage points or would spoil the appreciation of the landscape quality of the North Wessex Downs AONB will not be permitted. Major industrial or commercial development will not be permitted in the AONB unless Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are likely to have growing importance in the future in respect of the planning re- forms which are being proposed, through the draft National Policy Framework which is out for consultation at present. This is intended to introduce a presumption in favour of sustainable development, which has caused a lot of controversy. However the Framework is expected to retain protection for green belts and AONBs. It is interesting to note that some of the very recently approved Science Vale “Enterprise Zone” lies within the AONB. East Hendred Bulletin •Autumn 11 • www.hendred.org 3 Parish Council News Science Vale Enterprise Zone The Government very recently announced that the South Oxfordshire Science Vale area has been designated as an En- terprise Zone, one of only 10 new zones, bringing the total to 21 in the country. The Science Vale area covers the Harwell Campus, Culham Science Centre, Milton Park and Grove Technology Park, although the Enterprise Zone is limited to the Harwell Campus and Milton Park. Recent newspaper articles have suggested that 200 new businesses could be brought into the area and up to 8000 new jobs created by 2015. With current employment in the area at about 6,500 people, the impact of this development can be expected to be very extensive. Firms that set up in the Enterprise Zone will get a 100% business rate discount, over a five year period. It is claimed that £10.5M of extra business rates will be generated in due course which can be invested in the local economy, instead of being paid to the Government. The Zone will also benefit from simpler planning rules for businesses. Superfast broad- band will also be provided and it has been suggested that the funding to improve the road infrastructure will be made available, which would clearly be necessary if that number of new jobs is to be created. This could include the Harwell link road, the A 4130 and the A417 being either built or improved ahead of current schedules.

This is the sixteenth since our re-launch in 1999 following a ten-year absence. We are delighted to be back at the Charotar Patidar Samaj for the fifteenth time. As always we are showcasing the brewing expertise of our Leicestershire and Rutland breweries on our LocAle bars, we also feature a selection of breweries within 25 miles as the crow flies from the festival site giving an amazing 40 breweries within the area to choose from. This year we have divided the servery up into six distinct bars and colour-coded them (see p 15 for details). We have numbered the beers to make it easier to remember what to order at the bar. Our festival is one of many that play a major role not just as fund raising, but also to keep people informed about CAMRA’s work and the vast range of beers that are now available to the consumer. This continuous background work nationwide has doubtless helped change attitudes towards real ale. Our theme this year is XV, a full explanation of which appears in the article on page 9.
