AECOM Consultation Statement

1.0 Introduction

1.1. This consultation statement has been prepared to meet the legal obligations of the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012 in respect of the Eton & Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan (“NDP”).

1.2. The legal basis of the Consultation Statement is provided by Section 15(2) of Part 5 of the 2012 Neighbourhood Planning Regulations, which requires that a consultation statement should:

1) Contain details of the persons and bodies who were consulted about the proposed neighbourhood development plan;

2) Explain how they were consulted;

3) Summarise the main issues and concerns raised by the persons consulted; and

4) Describe how those issues and concerns have been considered and, where relevant addressed in the proposed NDP

2.0 Background

2.1. Our Parish has a unique and historic environment and compromises two settlements – the town of Eton and the village of Eton Wick. Eton has close links with Windsor and has the unique characteristic of hosting the world-famous institution for education, Eton College. Eton has a vibrant high street that serves local residents and tourists visiting Windsor and Eton. Eton Wick, by contrast, is a predominantly residential settlement surrounded by farmland – indeed, wick means farm in old English.

2.2. Eton town and Eton Wick village are located in the RBWM. Eton College comprises much of the north-eastern boundary of our parish, whilst the south and east is bound by the River Thames. To the north runs the Jubilee River and, Dorney Common is situated to the west. The majority of the policies in the Plan concern the town of Eton and village of Eton Wick, but there is a significant amount of farmland, Common land and Lammas land that makes up the hinterland of the two settlements. In addition, the area includes floodplain and highly valued built heritage. Such factors limit the amount of developable land and require a sympathetic approach from new developments.

2.3. Representatives from Eton Town Council, together with representatives from the local community formed The Eton & Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group ('Steering Group). The Steering Group was authorised by the ‘qualifying body’ (the Town Council) to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan for the designated area of Eton & Eton Wick in 2013.

2.4. The area concerned: Eton town and Eton Wick village is shown in its entirety on the map overleaf (figure 1). The application to develop a Neighbourhood plan was submitted to The

Consultation Statement Eton and Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan

Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council (RBWM) for the designated area in Figure 1 on the 8 August 2013 and was subsequently approved on the 17th October 2013. Furthermore, the designation of the Neighbourhood Plan area was announced to Eton Town Council on that day by email.

Figure 1 Eton and Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan Area

2.5. The Steering Group have consulted widely with local residents, retailers, businesses, Eton College and other groups and bodies with an interest in the local area; as well as gained advice from planning experts on such matters as evidence gathering and compliance with relevant legislation and higher order planning policy.

2.6. The group have been open to new members and ideas at all phases of the neighbourhood plan production process. This is evidenced in the many communications which specifically request new members (see Appendices1 and 2). In addition, the group’s drop in sessions and the questionnaire delivered through the first round of public consultation also asked whether respondents would like to be involved in the group.

2.7. In order to ensure that consultation for the neighbourhood plan has been effective and inclusive from the outset, the Steering Group undertook training and committed to an organisational structure and strategy as follows:

- The Chair of the Steering Group attended a Neighbourhood Planning national launch event and training - The Steering Group was initiated and sub groups formed. - Leaders were appointed and the scope of sub groups agreed, Steering Group meetings were scheduled regularly.

Consultation Statement Eton and Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan

- The mandate of the sub groups was designed to place emphasis on achieving good representation from across the community in Eton and Eton Wick. - Feedback was given at every Steering Group meeting in order to assure input from all sub groups was incorporated into the neighbourhood plan and consultation strategy as the draft plan evolved.

2.8. RBWM contacts have been an integral part of the process, with Robert Paddison as our current expert, preceded by both Ian Bellinger and Brian Whitely. Experience has been gained from other local Qualifying Bodies. The Ascot and Sunningdale lead presented to the Steering Group early on in the process in order to educate the group about the process of consultation required.

2.9. Representatives from the Steering Group have also attended Windsor Business Neigbourhood Plan, Windsor Neighbourhood Plan and Horton & Wraysbury events with all emerging materials reviewed thoroughly, to improve our own NDP and also to ensure that there are no conflicts with our geographically adjacent colleagues.

Consultation Statement Eton and Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan

3.0 Aim of the Eton & Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan

3.1. The aim of the NDP over the period to 2036 is to make the neighbourhood area an even better place to live, work and visit. The forum wishes to conserve, sustain and enhance the neighbourhood and make sure that infrastructure is capable of supporting the area moving forward. Our vision for Eton and Eton Wick, evolving to 2036:

Located north of the River Thames and set within a landscape characterised by farmland, Common Land and Lammas Land, Eton and Eton Wick evolving as two distinct yet close-knit sustainable communities.

We aim to maintain and enhance the vitality and character of historic community whilst supporting our emerging diverse community to prosper and thrive.

In so doing we wish to improve the quality of life for those who live and work in Eton and Eton Wick by accommodating the changing needs yet valuing the character and preserving the historical and environmental qualities of our neighbourhood so that it might serve future generations.

3.2. At all stages of consultation the Steering Group have canvassed opinion on the most appropriate policy response in the proposed NDP. The Steering Group have attempted to put forward a plan that is ambitious and true to the vision, whilst also demonstrating general conformity with the adopted NPPF, RBWM Strategy and forthcoming policy within the new Borough Local Plan.

Consultation Statement Eton and Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan

4.0 Eton & Eton Wick Steering Group and sub group meetings

4.1. The Steering Group have met regularly and when needed. For example, in the early stages, when the Steering Group composition, Vision development and subgroups were being determined, meetings were held every few weeks. In addition, when then the scope of the subgroups and initial work commenced, the feedback and input into these subgroups was formative. The first meeting was held on 21 January 2014 (see appendix 1 for a typical meeting agenda). Following the early stages, as described above, the meeting schedule was less frequent as the majority of work was carried out by the sub groups, which were set up in April 2014. However, at critical times, such as the approach of drop in sessions or development of the first public consultation, Steering Group meetings were again more frequent.

4.2. Furthermore, certain bodies and parties were consulted with more regularly or specifically for agreed purposes. Examples include meetings with various RBWM leads or experts e.g. regarding cycling. Eton College were consulted individually on a number of occasions, as the major land owner in the designated Neighbourhood Plan area. In addition, local businesses have regularly been engaged e.g. retailers. The Steering Group members were drawn from a wide range of local organisations and committees and were spread geographically to ensure fair representation from both Eton and Eton Wick.

4.3. Eton Community Association (ECA) was regularly used as a communication or consultation forum, including for the purposes of written communication, using its wide reach. Eton Wick Village Association (EWVA) was set up during the development of the NDP and has been used in a similar way since its inception in November 2015.

4.4. The community have been consulted formally on three separate occasions over the three-year development period of the plan, details of all public consultation are provided in this statement and in the supporting appendices. This comprised early drop ins (x2 in Eton, x2 in Eton Wick), a questionnaire leaflet (x2 dropped into every household) and an associated Survey Monkey (online questionnaire) as an alternative feedback route, with an associated set of drop ins. Formal consultation under Regulation 14 of the Regulations included drop ins (x1 in Eton, x1 in Eton Wick)

4.5. Steering group feedback has been sought and received at every stage of the drafting process. Specifically, the most detailed feedback in early summer 2016, with 11 Steering Group respondents feeding back a total of 153 comments to the first full draft NP. The comments were in some cases contradictory requiring careful consideration at special Steering Group meetings.

Consultation Statement Eton and Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan

Planning consultants AECOM were appointed in January 2016. Their expertise has been used extensively to support the process and in some cases, the content.

4.6. Sub groups have fed into the Steering Group throughout the process. Details about the working practices and consultation events specific to each subgroup are summarised below:

Housing and Development - The Eton Conservation Appraisal Statement was the starting point for the working group’s activities. The sub group reviewed all existing evidence to gain an understanding of the heritage context. The group then considered if any of the guidance was suitable for transposing into the neighbourhood plan as policy. - The Windsor and Eton Society were invited on a walk around of the town to re-evaluate the 2009 appraisal statement. An output of this engagement and wider exercise is the design appendices found within the plan that provide additional guidance on policy implementation. - Councillors have been kept abreast of the Housing and Development group’s work through minutes and pre-circulated drafts shared with the Steering Group. - AECOM were engaged by the Town Council to provide consultancy support in identifying suitable design guidance within the neighbourhood plan. The task involved inputs from the wider sub group and steering group. - As part of a broader and regular engagement drive, a forum of architects (based within the neighbourhood area) was canvassed for their inputs into draft policy and guidance. The chair of this group helped to provide a ‘critical friend’ role in the later stages of the plan’s development.

Business, Leisure and Tourism - Several meetings have been held with Tourism officers and the leadership at the RBWM. - Retailers have been consulted on a regular basis to reflect their views on emerging policy and objectives. - AECOM were engaged by the Town Council to provide consultancy support in identifying suitable shopfront design guidance and local centre policy within the neighbourhood plan. The task involved analysing the inputs from the wider sub group and Steering Group. - The Windsor & Eton Society, as part of the walk round, have been consulted also, specifically around shop front design and other related matters found within the Conservation Area appraisal statement and related NDP appendices. - Adjacent neighbourhood planning groups were engaged to ensure that the business policies within the emerging neighbourhood plans were complementary and did not detract from one another.

Transport & Infrastructure - Regular meetings have taken place with a number of RBWM experts: traffic strategy, car parking, traffic management, road structures (including capital projects), biking and bike parking. Three of the team have become a key part of the work that T&I have performed. - Eton College have been consulted on multiple occasions about every aspect of the T&I scope, including several face to face meetings. In addition, key topics have been shared with a wider internal leadership team. - Ward and Town councillors with knowledge of and accountability for the various areas within the T&I theme have been consulted, including the Ward Cabinet Member for Highways.

Consultation Statement Eton and Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan

- Traffic surveys have been incorporated into the work of the group: Traffic speed surveys in Eton Wick, traffic direction survey around Pockock’s Lane roundabout.

Environment - The Flood forum was initially involved and content within RBWM’s Strategic Flood Risk Assessment was assessed for inclusion as possible policy and guidance. - National guidelines and regional strategies regarding flood zones and flood management limits the extent of work that could be proposed locally. However, the consultation that took place has informed the implementation chapter of the plan and eventual flood policy wording. - Horticultural expertise helped to assist the sub group to refine green infrastructure policies within the plan. - AECOM were engaged by the Town Council to provide consultancy support in identifying local views and local green spaces that would benefit from recognition and protection within the neighbourhood plan. The task involved inputs from the wider sub group and steering group. Site visits to assess and record the potential views and spaces. A long list of views were later refined using recognised national guidance and following suggestions of best practice found elsewhere from Historic England. The Steering Group and working group also fed back comments to refine the final policy. - The walk around with Windsor and Eton Society was also used to discuss possible local green space designations. The Society had previously assisted the Windsor Neighbourhood Plan and shared best practice to identify and justify the draft local green space designations. Following a consultation suggestion, Eton Recreation Ground on South Meadow Lane was added.

5.0 Consultation with key stakeholders and community groups

Consultation with Neighbouring Parishes

5.1. The Steering Group advised adjacent Neighbourhood Plan groups of the intention to work on a Neighbourhood Plan1. During the course of preparation of the NDP, the Windsor Central Steering Group was attended in order to discuss interfaces. Drop in session for Regulation 14 were attended for the Windsor Neighbourhood Plan Group and Horton & Wraysbury Group. Discussions have also taken place with representatives from Dorney, an adjacent village which is in South Bucks, As part of the Regulation 14 consultation we notified all relevant neighbouring councils of our Pre-Submission Consultation.

Consultation with Eton and Eton Wick communities

5.2. The Steering Group comprises the Mayor (Lead Town Councillor) of Eton, the Chair of Eton Community Association and the Chair of Eton Wick Village Association (formed in Nov 2015). In addition, the Town Clerk, the co-ordinator of a local residents’ group, several other Councillors and some local retailers are Steering Group members. As such, there has been a continuous consultation, as these individuals regularly engage with all of those who live, work and visit Eton and Eton Wick.

Consultation with Other Bodies

5.3. Steering group members held discussions with a wide variety of bodies and individuals. The NP area comprises a population of approximately 2,123 residents in Eton and 2569 residents Eton Wick. Eton features the unusual characteristic of accommodating an additional population of around 1320 boys studying at Eton College for the duration of the school year. Eton College also accommodates approximately 350 teaching and support staff, together with their families, in Eton and Eton Wick. Consultation with Eton College and others who they suggest e.g. local architects took place regularly.

5.4. Consultation and advice from RBWM has been a feature of the NDP’s development. For example, approximately eight face to face meetings have taken place with officers in the Highways and Transport Team and approximately four with the Communities and Economic Development Team. RBWM’s Neighbourhood plan contacts have attended the majority of Steering Group meetings. Councillors have been consulted and informed including Ward

Consultation Statement Eton and Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan

Councillors (for Eton and for Eton Wick), Lead Cabinet members (For Planning, Transport & Highways, Culture and Media & Sport.

5.5. Local businesses, Eton College and local built environment professionals have been regularly consulted. Councillors (Town and Ward) have been constantly kept abreast of all of developments in the process, all meeting notes and minutes and review requests. Specifically, all feedback has been sought and incorporated where appropriate and the Eton Town Council endorsed the draft that was issued for Regulation 14 consultation and the submission version of the plan.

6.0 Communication tools

6.1. As the Neighbourhood Plan has progressed, tools to communicate developments and progression of the Neighbourhood Plan have included a number of items which are posted on the Eton Town Council website and in prominent places (see Appendix 17 for an example of website updates). These include the NDP agendas and minutes and the Eton Town Council minutes. Emails and more recently website updates and “Shout Outs” are all issued from Eton Community Association. The local mini-magazine “Eton Matters” has featured various articles regarding the Neighbourhood Plan (refer to Appendix 2 and 3 for a copy of this). Since November 2015 the Eton Wick Village Association has become an additional communication forum, with its associated Facebook page. Eton Wick’s “Village Matters” has featured various articles regarding the Neighbourhood Plan.

6.2. Drop in sessions and public consultations have been widely advertised, with two letter drops taking place through the period of development of the NDP. These have been supported by mobile information boards, leaflets and posters. Feedback to public consultations has been received through physical and survey monkey means, ensuring that young and old, mobile and less mobile consultees have the maximum chance to feedback.

6.3. Collection boxes for feedback forms have been placed in 5 prominent and known locations; these have been communicated widely and clearly. Additional forms for feedback have always accompanied the 5 collection boxes, in order to encourage spontaneous feedback.

Consultation Statement Eton and Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan

8.0 Stage 1 – First round of drop-in events

Consultation Timeframe:

8.1. The first round of engagement provided the first formal opportunity for the community to provide their views to the steering group. The dates of the public exhibitions were as follows:

First Public Drop-in events: September 2014

First drop-in event 19 and 20 September 2014 4:00pm – 8:00pm

Second drop-in event 26 and 27 September 2014 10:00 am – 2:00pm

Publication of the consultation:

8.2. The leaflet publicising the events (refer to appendix 4 - 8) provided some prompts for various topics which the community could comment on. In addition, the 4 sub-groups that had been agreed at the Steering group meeting had their own individual boards, including prompts of areas that may be good discussion items. These included;

- Housing and development;

- Business, Leisure and Tourism;

- Transport and Infrastructure; and

- Environment.

8.3. The four drop-in events were held, two in Eton Town Council offices and two in Eton Wick Village Hall, as shown in figure 2 and 3 (overleaf).

Consultation Statement Eton and Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan

Figure 2 Eton Town Council Offices: Exhibition Venue

Figure 3 Eton Wick Library: Exhibition Venue

Consultation Statement Eton and Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan

Consultation event format:

8.4. The events were a ‘drop-in’ style, where visitors could view posters, maps and documents to learn about the Neighbourhood Planning process and understand aspects of the neighbourhood plan area from a selection of maps and documents. In addition, members of the Steering Group were always in attendance and available for discussion and explanations as required.

Attendance at Exhibitions:

8.5. Approximately 60+ people attended the two exhibitions in Eton and in Eton Wick. With 40 people making written comments from Eton Wick and 18 people from Eton.

8.6. Basic details (i.e. name email addresses and address) of the visitors were collected as an indicator of the level of interest shown. In addition, attendees were asked if they would be prepared to join the Steering group.

Feedback Form:

8.7. The principal form of feedback was via post it notes, which were visible for all throughout each drop in. This enabled visibility of common issues and opportunities, allowing people to build on these, as well as explore other areas (see appendix 19 as an example of these boards).

8.8. The style of these drop ins was broad in nature and the questions were open and invited all comments from the community.

8.9. The feedback was collated to form a view about several aspects of the work.

8.10. The four topic groups proposed by the Steering group continued to be appropriate, with issues and opportunities falling largely into these categories of:

- Housing and development; - Business, Leisure and Tourism - Transport and Infrastructure - Environment

8.11. The Steering group’s design was always to bring topic group progress to the Steering group, so that wider input would be received and any overlaps or gaps could be identified and resolved.

Consultation Statement Eton and Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan

9.0 Stage 2 – Questionnaires and second round of exhibitions

Consultation timeframe: 9.1. In October 2015, a second public consultation took place. This took the form of a questionnaire, two copies of which were posted through every letterbox and additional copies were made available at the 5 locations where collection boxes were cited. In addition, a survey monkey version of the questionnaire was available. Feedback to public consultations has been received through physical and survey monkey means, ensuring that young and old, mobile less mobile consultees have the maximum chance to feedback.

9.2. The five locations that have been used consistently are: Eton Town Council Offices, Eton Wick library, Eton library, Nisa stores in Eton Wick and Budgens in Eton. In every consultation collection boxes have been present along with additional forms, should people feel the desire to complete the form at the time of visiting these locations.

9.3. Posters were issued and electronic communications were made to maximise the chance of people knowing what was happening and the importance of participation. The Steering Group judged that making name, email address and postal address fields mandatory might discourage completion of the forms. As a result, post code is known, which allowed for analysis at an Eton and Eton Wick level of granularity.

9.4. In addition, two copies of the questionnaire were posted through each letterbox, in recognition that we desired as much input as possible and we know that different members of households can have very different views and inputs.

9.5. Drop in sessions were held in Eton and Eton Wick during the consultation time to enable people to ask and understand as well as to give input. However, it was the forms and survey monkey forms that were the basis of the data collection, analysis etc.

Publicising of the consultation

9.6. A leaflet publicising the consultation events provided an update on the Neighbourhood Plan to the community and emphasised that the forum had been gathering opinions and views on how Eton & Eton Wick should develop in the future.

Consultation Statement Eton and Eton Wick Neighbourhood Plan

Questionnaire 9.7. The questionnaire itself was a multi-folded document with 6 sections; an overall context, general questions and then one set of questions related to each sub-group area. There was recognition that the document was lengthy. So the style was designed to be appealing, easy to read and easy to respond to (appendix 12), There were approximately 10 questions per sub-group area.

9.8. The end of the survey encouraged the community to be involved in upcoming community workshops ; one workshops dedicated to ‘brainstorming’ and reviewing the objectives of the Sustainability Appraisal scoping report and the other dedicated to reviewing the proposals of the draft plan.

9.9. An additional slip was inserted in every questionnaire, which asked for email details to be completed in order that we could extend our database and inform a greater number of our community members about the Neighbourhood Plan process on an ongoing basis.

9.10. This slip was a separate document because the Steering Group felt strongly that requiring or even requesting this information on the questionnaire might detract from people’s inclination to complete the questionnaire. As such, only post code was requested.

9.11. The slips were also available at the 5 collection box locations – see earlier for locations.

Consultation Feedback

9.12. Approximately 250 surveys were returned, of which approximately 80 responses came from Eton postcodes, 110 from Eton Wick postcodes and 60 online responses via survey monkey.

9.13. Please refer to Appendix 13 for the Consultation feedback and summary.

10.0 Stage 3 – Regulation 14 Pre-submission consultation and third round of exhibitions

Consultation timeframe:

10.1. Under Regulation 14 pre-submission of The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 consultation took place between the 17th October and 5th December 2016.

Availability to view Neighbourhood Plan

10.2. Two locations well used by the community were used to display paper copies of the Pre- Submission version of the Neighbourhood Plan along with other relevant documentation. The Neighbourhood Plan could be read, together with the form for completion to capture responses. In Eton the drop in was at the Eton Town Council offices (details below in table 3) and in Eton Wick at the library. By selecting different days of the week and times, the intension was to give all those who wished to the opportunity to join. Members of the Steering Group were present and available at all times during the drop in sessions.

10.3. Two drop-in sessions were held as part of the Pre-submission consultation.

10.8. The questionnaire was a one-page document with the letter from the Steering Group Chair on one side (refer to appendix 15 and 16). The letter explained where copies of the neighbourhood plan draft could be found both electronically and hard copy. These were stationed in 3 of the 5 locations where collection boxes were cited, specifically in the Eton Town Council offices, in Eton Wick library and in Eton library.

10.9. In addition, the letter offered that anyone who would like their own copy sent should request this from the Town Clerk.

10.10. The feedback form was available as hard copy that was posted through every letterbox, via an electronic link, which was connected to Eton Town Council and also to the Eton Community Association website and noted in the Eton Wick Village Association Facebook.

10.11. Through the 6+ week consultation, reminders were sent out through the ECA and EWVA communication routes. In addition, Steering Group members were active in reminding people of the opportunity to feed back.

10.12. Additional copies of the feedback forms were available at the 5 collection box locations.

Consultation Feedback:

10.13. Attendance at consultation events:

Current High Street at bridge end is designed right: parking, passing traffic and chicanes to slow traffic is all correct and necessary.

Consider having paths, cycle lane, road, path on High Street, keeping clear differentiation between pavement heights and road as today.

Make High St from Tangier Lane to bridge open space shared by cars, bikes, pedestrians and coffee shops similar to town centres in Holland.

Housing & Commercial Transport & Infrastructure Business & Tourism Environment & Leisure Transportation: Stop taxis collecting at the bridge – this will stop drunks at 12 -4 am.

Incorporate taxi rank and bus turning point at the new Meadow Lane car park.

School bus for collection and drop-off.

Bus service to train station from Eton Wick esp. at work times 8am/5-6pm.

Innovative ideas: Windsor link railway.

Charging point for electric cars at Meadow Lane.

Use Meadow Lane as a new route in and out of Eton onto relief road. This would also take Eton Wick traffic away from traffic lights at Eton College.
