Apologies for Absence RESOLVED: To receive and accept apologies for absence from the following: Parish Councillors Mr A Beukes, Mr L Whitlock, Mr P Bennison and Mr B Lemmon. 2. Minutes of the 2018 Annual Parish Meeting RESOLVED: That the minutes of the Annual Parish Meeting held on 3rd April 2018 Be signed as a true record. 3. Chairman’s Annual Report Cllr Anders Christensen gave the following report: My reports for the last few years have been focused on the frustrations of dealing with developers, the lack of adoption, and hope that things would change in the coming year. I am delighted that the past year has marked definitive progress. It has been a year of change when long held ambitions have been delivered. We have finally adopted the first parcels of land. The Parish Council is now in control of the main park by the community centre along with several greenways. This means that we are now in direct control of our public spaces and can start to deal with the defects we inherited. While this will be a significant responsibility it is one the Parish Council has prepared for and that I am confident that we can live up to. I now look forward to the remainder of the land being transferred and the commuted sum of approximately £500,000 being transferred from AVDC to the Parish Council. Adoption of our roads still seems some time away. Work is slow and communication between the Taylor Wimpey and Buckinghamshire County Council is poor. Once we have secured the remaining land transfer, I am confident we can turn our attention to this long running saga and push the two parties to progress work and adoption in a speedier fashion. Our residents demand and deserve nothing less. This was due to be the last annual statement of the current term with Elections due in May 2019. However, with the coming of a new unitary authority for Buckinghamshire all local elections have been postponed until 2020. In recent months I have been representing the Parish at a working group in relation to the Berryfields Surgery. The location of the surgery in Buckingham Park was only ever temporary though it has now extended to several years. Exciting plans are being made for the relocation of the surgery to a new building in Berryfields. While the move won’t be for another 18 months to two years, I am excited about the improved services that will be on offer in the new facility. Naturally residents with limited mobility or who are reliant on public transport are concerned about the move, but the working group is aware of these and working towards improved public transport links between Buckingham Park and Berryfields. Buckingham Park Church of England Primary School has established itself at the heart of our community since opening. This is in no small part to the efforts of the Head Master, Nick Waldron. Nick will be moving on from Buckingham Park to a new school after the summer holidays. On behalf of the community I wish to record our gratitude for all his hard work and wish him well in his new role. I also wish remember Cllr Tony Poth who sadly passed away during the past year. Tony and his wife, Mary, played an instrumental role in the founding of residents’ association and Parish Council. As always, I remain thankful to our fantastic team of staff who look after the community centre and now our open spaces. So thank you to Jan, Luke, the team at the community centre and Steve Webb. Also, a big thank you to our Clerk Keith Gray who makes the council function. I am proud of the progress we have made this year. It has been a significant milestone for the Parish Council and Buckingham Park as a whole. Now our real work starts, and I look forward to demonstrating how we can manage the land and play areas in the coming years. 4. Councillors / Community Groups To receive any reports from County & District Cllrs & Community Groups County Councillor Mrs Netta Glover gave the following report: Community Forums and Having Your Say: From James Davies: I am the Community Policing Inspector for the Aylesbury Vale, and I have a proposal. You may be aware that each local neighbourhood has a community forum, arranged generally by the police, where you can give your views on policing in that area – this is with the community wherever possible. Therefore, I am proposing to chair a quarterly forum to address concerns that affect policing in your areas. This would be suitable for councillors, partners, members of the community, volunteer groups, businesses etc etc. However, before I arrange anything I want to see if there is an appetite for this sort of forum. Therefore, initially if you are interested in attending then please let me know. My email address to feedback is James.Davies@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk – I would ask that you share this email with anyone you feel maybe able to provide an input. Buckinghamshire’s Brexit Preparedness: Buckinghamshire County Council is working with partners locally, regionally and nationally. It is well positioned to address any potential disruption arising from Brexit. In Buckinghamshire. BCC’s Brexit preparations started in earnest around May 2017, and this has allowed the Council to focus efforts to ensure the preparedness of both the County Council as an organisation and Buckinghamshire as a place. Buckinghamshire Unitary Council: Structural Changes Order has today been laid before Parliament. This is the second piece of legislation required to implement the new unitary council for Buckinghamshire and follows on from the Regulations that was agreed earlier this year. The Structural Changes Order details how the change to the new council will take place and the set-up of the new council. The draft Order will be considered and debated by both Houses of Parliament. No changes of any significance have been made since the original draft. The Order confirms the following details: The name of the new council will be ‘Buckinghamshire Council’ and it will have 147 councillors. Elections for the new council will take place in May 2020. A temporary Shadow Authority will be formed, with all current county and district councillors having a seat on this body; the shadow authority will set the 2020/21 council tax and budget. Leadership will be provided by a 17 seat Shadow Executive with eight District nominees and eight County Council nominees, plus the Leader of the County Council as its Chairman unless the Executive votes otherwise. An implementation team, led by the County Council Chief Executive and with a district Chief Executive as deputy, should be established to manage the smooth transfer of services and staff to the new Council It is expected that the Order will take around 6 to 8 weeks to progress through Parliament. Once it is approved the Shadow Authority then needs to meet within 14 days. This is obviously great news as it gives a firm, strong legal basis for the actions necessary to create the news Buckinghamshire Council to which we are all committed. First Shared Service announced: The county and district councils in Buckinghamshire have started the process of sharing legal resources from the autumn, part of the first steps to joining up support services for the new Buckinghamshire Council. Under the plans, the legal team at Wycombe District Council and joint legal service at Chiltern and South Bucks District Councils, will provide some key elements of the County Council's legal work such as property, contracts and employment work from October 1. An in-house team at Buckinghamshire County Council will provide its children's and adults services legal work, since this is not replicated at district level, until all legal teams transfer to the new unitary council in April 2020. Officers from all five district and county councils worked together to develop the plans and will put forward proposals for a fully integrated legal service for the new Council in due course. 5. To receive any questions or proposals from Residents of the Parish No residents of the parish were present There being no further business for the Annual Parish Meeting, the Chairman of the Parish Council closed the meeting at 8.10pm Signed: ___________________________________ Date: 6th April 2021 To Note: Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic in 2020, the Annual Meeting of the Parish scheduled for 2020 was cancelled.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

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.
