  • 5 Year Housing Land Supply Position Statement June 2018
    Aylesbury Vale District Council - Five year housing land supply position statement, June 2018 Purpose of this position statement 1.0 Paragraph 47-49 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, 2012) requires local planning authorities to identify and keep up-to-date a deliverable five year housing land supply against their housing requirements. Where the Council cannot demonstrate a 5 year housing land supply, there is a presumption in favour of sustainable development in line with the NPPF (para 14). Having an understanding of supply is also key to fulfilling the NPPF requirement to demonstrate the expected rate of housing delivery and how housing targets will be met (paragraph 47). 1.1 This position statement sets out the approach to meeting housing requirements in Aylesbury Vale pending the adoption of the new Local Plan (the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan, VALP). This statement sets out how the current housing supply has been calculated, and the housing requirement target, to be used by the Council in order to apply the appropriate development plan policy tests and the tests set out in the NPPF when determining relevant planning applications in the period before VALP is adopted. 1.2 The five year housing land supply calculation is dynamic and changes as planning permissions are granted and as existing commitments are completed. Therefore it is important that any developer considering submitting a planning application should consider the latest position on the five year housing supply calculation from the Council. It is intended that the position statement is a living draft that will be regularly updated as the evidence emerges through the Local Plan preparation processes.

As the adopted Aylesbury Vale District Local Plan (AVDLP) is now more than five years old, in accordance with the NPPF published in February 2019, the council has identified and updated a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years’ worth of housing supply against its minimum local housing need (LHN) defined using the new standard method for calculating local housing need. The Government has confirmed1 the basis of the LHN calculation as the 2014-based household projections, Table 1 below sets out the land supply calculations for Aylesbury Vale against the council’s local housing need as established by the Standard Methodology against the CLG 2014- based household projections (and 2018 affordability ratios).

I. v.i I/./ ' XonOon Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., 124, Chancery Lane, 1902. PREFACE. This Volume, forming the first, it may be hoped, of a series containing the whole of extant Buckinghamshire Registers down to the year 1812, includes the Marriage Registers of nine parishes. The need there is to preserve the contents of our ancient Registers from the risks of fire, theft, forgery and natural decay is well illustrated by this Volume. The Registers should commence in 1538, the date when they were established at the instance of Thomas Cromwell, yet only three commence earlier than 1624, viz. : Cheddington, 1552 ; Cholesbury, 1583 ; and Edlesborough, 1562. Of the rest, four begin in the Seventeenth Century, viz. : Mentmore, 1685; Pitstone, 1653; Slapton, 1653; and Soulbury, 1624. One other does not begin till the Eighteenth Century, viz, : Masworth. 1730. 'I'he Registers of Hawridge have wholely disappeared. 1379047 That earlier Registers existed is proved by the little known Transcripts at Lincoln and Aylesbury, which, in the case of the following six parishes, enable us to carry the records to much earlier dates than the Registers themselves. Thus, Cholesbury Register begins 1583, the Transcript 1576; Haw- ridge, Register lost, Transcript, 1600 ; Masworth, Register, 1720, Transcript, 1591* ; Mentmore, Register, 1685, Transcript, Pitstone, Register, 1575 i 1653, Transcript, 1576; Soulbury, Register, 1624, Transcript, 1575.

  • Pitstone Hill —A Study in Field Archaeology James F
    PITSTONE HILL —A STUDY IN FIELD ARCHAEOLOGY JAMES F. DYER and ANTHONY J. HALES TRAVELLERS between Tring and Dunstable are invariably impressed by the great mass of Ivinghoe Beacon, but seldom notice the range of hills that sweep south-westwards from the Beacon in a great curve towards the Hertfordshire village of Aldbury. At the focus of this curve lies Pitstone Hill, with Aldbury Nowers beyond, an isolated boomerang-shaped range, two miles long and in places over 700 feet high. Geologically, Pitstone Hill is composed of the middle and lower chalk with a thin clay-with-flint capping, which at the southern end of the hill supports beech woods. On its northern side the hill is open downland, dotted with patches of scrub on the steeper slopes, and providing useful pasturage for cattle. The Hill is the property of the Snowcem Cement Company, who are at present quarrying on the north-west side of it. The public have free access to the un- ploughed area. Situated half in Buckinghamshire and half in Hertfordshire, Pitstone Hill lies two and a half miles north-east of Tring and eight miles due east of Aylesbury. (Nat. Grid Ref. SP/950142.) (Fig. 2.) In August, 1958, during the course of fieldwork along the Romanized Ick- nield Way (Roman Road 168a1), Mr R. W. Bagshawe investigated the state- ment of R. Hippisley Cox2: .. near a group of pit dwellings, Pitstone Hill is crossed by a transverse ditch deep enough to hide a horse and his rider." This ditch is marked on all modern large, medium and 1-inch scale Ordnance Survey maps (SP/952147).
