  • Advice from Buckinghamshire County Council to Aylesbury Vale District Council Concerning Changes to Housing Allocations
    Advice from Buckinghamshire County Council to Aylesbury Vale District Council concerning changes to housing allocations Summary Following the VALP Examination in Public, AVDC and BCC commissioned additional transport modelling reports to further examine points raised during the EiP and in the Inspector’s Interim Conclusions which were: - BUC051 had been omitted from the Countywide modelling Phase 3 work - Concerns about the impact on Buckingham Town Centre of BUC051, and whether without mitigation BUC051 could be released on a phased basis - The need to identify additional housing sites This Advice Note sets out Buckinghamshire County Council’s view concerning the above issues taking into account the transport modelling work, previous planning applications and their transport assessments as well as our local knowledge of the transport network. Buckingham In relation to Buckingham, our view is that the detailed town centre modelling shows that BUC051 would have an unacceptable impact on the town centre, even if the development was phased. The only mitigation to congestion in the town centre that we have been able to identify is the Western Relief Road, as set out in the Buckingham Transport Strategy. However, it has been acknowledged that the scale of the proposed BUC051 allocation would be insufficient to provide funding for this mitigation measure. One option would be to increase the size of the allocation in order that the development was able to deliver the relief road. However, this would lead to a much larger allocation at Buckingham resulting in further modelling work being required to assess the potential impact on the A421. This suggestion does not take into account any site constraints such as flood risk.

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.

The Manor enjoys a commanding yet relatively private position in the heart of the village with most stunning views eastwards over open countryside and up to the village of Great Brickhill in the far distance. Under the custodianship of the current owners the house has been sympathetically renovated and modernised, yet has lost none of its original charm and many period features remain. The property is presented in excellent condition and the layout and feel of the house is classic Georgian. Deep sash windows allow natural light to flood into the rooms, which radiate out from the central reception hall and galleried landing. The formal reception rooms run along the south elevation with the recently refurbished kitchen/ breakfast room running along the rear. The first floor offers four generous double bedrooms all enjoying views over the manicured grounds. The Manor benefits from an idyllic position centrally located and approached over a tree lined drive. The attractive grounds are a pure delight and surround the property on all sides with mature hedgerows and specimen trees gracing the boundaries.

    The Vale of Aylesbury Plan Winslow Fact Pack June 2011 Contents Section Page 1 Introduction page 3 2 Location and Setting page 6 3 Story of Place page 8 4 Fact File page 10 5 Issues Facing the Parish page 34 6 Parish Constraints page 36 7 Annex page 42 Front cover photo source: Winslow Town Council, (2008) 2 1. 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.

  • 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.

    THE ARCHAEOLOGY AND HISTORY OF RENNY LODGE: ROMANO-BRITISH FARMSTEAD, WORKHOUSE, HOSPITAL, HOUSES CAROLINE BUDD AND A.D. CROCKETT with contributions from KAYT BROWN, CATHERINE BARNETT (NEE CHISHAM), JESSICA M GRIMM, LORRAINE MEPHAM AND CHRIS STEVENS Archaeological investigation on the site of the former Renny Lodge Hospital, Newport Pagnell, identified at least three phases of Romano-British activity, focused on a small roadside settle- ment, as well as a handful of poorly-dated post-Roman features probably relating to the agri- cultural use of the area. It also identified the probable routes of two suspected roads, one of Roman date, the other possibly of medieval origin. The only evidence for prehistoric activity comprised a small assemblage of worked flint recovered from later deposits. In the mid 1830s the Newport Pagnell Union Workhouse, later Renny Lodge Hospital, was constructed on the site. Although demolished to ground level in 1994, a coherent structural sequence has been established from the survey of the building's footprint coupled with cartographic and documen- tary evidence. The site has subsequently been developed to provide affordable housing. INTRODUCTION above Ordnance Datum, on a very slight west- facing promontory overlooking the River Ouzel.

  • Aylesbury Vale North Locality Profile
    Aylesbury Vale North Locality Profile Prevention Matters Priorities The Community Links Officer (CLO) has identified a number of key Prevention Matters priorities for the locality that will form the focus of the work over the next few months. These priorities also help to determine the sort of services and projects where Prevention Matters grants can be targeted. The priorities have been identified using the data provided by the Community Practice Workers (CPW) in terms of successful referrals and unmet demand (gaps where there are no appropriate services available), consultation with district council officers, town and parish councils, other statutory and voluntary sector organisations and also through the in depth knowledge of the cohort and the locality that the CLO has gained. The CLO has also worked with the other CLOs across the county to identify some key countywide priorities which affect all localities. Countywide Priorities Befriending Community Transport Aylesbury Vale North Priorities Affordable Day Activities Gentle Exercise Low Cost Gardening Services Dementia Services Social Gardening Men in Sheds Outreach for Carers Background data Physical Area The Aylesbury Vale North locality (AV North) is just less than 200 square miles in terms of land area (500 square kilometres). It is a very rural locality in the north of Buckinghamshire. There are officially 63 civil parishes covering the area (approximately a third of the parishes in Bucks). There are 2 small market towns, Buckingham and Winslow, and approximately 70 villages or hamlets (as some of the parishes cover more than one village). Population The total population of the Aylesbury Vale North locality (AV North) is 49,974 based on the populations of the 63 civil parishes from the 2011 Census statistics.

  • Buckinghamshire
    Buckinghamshire Later Bronze Age and Iron Age Historic Environment Resource Assessment Sandy Kidd June 2007 Nature of the evidence The Sites and Monuments Records for Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes attributes 1622 records (monuments and find spots) to the Iron Age and a further 144 records to the Middle or Late Bronze Age representing about 9.4% of total SMR records. Also, many formally undated cropmark sites probably actually date to the Bronze Age or Iron Age. In addition evidence for the survival of putatively prehistoric landscapes into modern times needs to be considered (see landscape section). Later prehistoric sites have been recognised in Buckinghamshire since the 19 th century with useful summaries of the state of knowledge at the beginning of the twentieth century being provided by the Royal Commission for Historical Monuments and Victoria County History. Essentially knowledge was restricted to a few prominent earthwork monuments and a handful of distinctive finds, mostly from the Chilterns and Thames (Clinch, 1905; RCHME, 1912 & 1913). By 1955 Jack Head was able to identify a concentration of Iron Age hillforts, settlement sites and finds along the Chiltern scarp along with a few sites (mainly hillforts) on the dipslope and a scattering of sites along the Thames. A few of these sites, notably Bulstrode and Cholesbury Camps and an apparently open settlement on Lodge Hill, Saunderton had been investigated by trial trenching (Head, 1955, 62-78). By 1979 it was possible to draw upon a wider range of evidence including modern excavations, aerial photography and environmental archaeology referring to sites in the Ouse valley as well as the Chilterns, open settlements as well as hillforts and evidence for extensive open grassland environments from the Bronze Age onwards (Reed, 1979, 35-41).
