The purpose of a Village Design Statement (VDS) is to enable local people to have a say in how they wish their village to develop so that it does not lose its essential characteristics. The Terling and Fairstead Village Design Statement describes the particular character of our Parish and makes recommendations (guidelines) to influence future planning and development. It has been drawn up by representatives of the Parish in full consultation with the residents, businesses and the local planning authorities. The VDS is no paper exercise. Braintree District Council (BDC) formally approves the guidelines in a VDS and uses them in the determination of planning applications. This means that private and public planners and developers, builders, landowners, employers, architects and homeowners need to view it so that they can make informed decisions about how their plans affect the village character and environment.

More detailed information will be available on the Woodcote village website, www.woodcote-online.co.uk , and in Woodcote Library. Woodcote is a village of just under 2,700 people in the administrative district of South Oxfordshire. Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the parish runs down the scarp edge of the Chiltern Hills towards the Thames Valley. Its highest point is 185 metres above sea level; the lowest at 60 metres. The Woodcote Parish Plan sets out the views of residents on their village and its future. Woodcote has already carried out village appraisals - in 1984, 1991 and 2000 - and the Parish Plan has built on the experience of that work. However, a Parish Plan is not simply an appraisal by another name. It clearly sets out its aims for the future of the village, and must be taken into account by those concerned with making any changes to village life.

  • Conservation Area Character Appraisal
    Introduction & Summary of the Principal Purposes of the Pyrton Conservation Area Character Appraisal This draft Conservation Appraisal has been prepared by Asset Heritage Consulting Ltd. on behalf of Pyrton Parish Council as a result of the recent completion of the pre-submission consultation draft of the Pyrton Neighbourhood Plan. In this context both the Neighbourhood Plan and the draft Appraisal accord with paragraph 58 of the NPPF, which states that ‘….neighbourhood plans should develop robust and comprehensive policies that set out the quality of development that will be expected for the area…such policies should be based on stated objectives for the future of the area and an understanding and evaluation of its defining characteristics’. By providing a thorough and comprehensive description and analysis of the existing Pyrton Conservation Area, together with making a detailed and sustainable case for proposed extensions to the currently designated area, the draft Appraisal provides a clear and objective assessment of the ‘special architectural and historic interest’ of the present conservation area and the proposed extensions to it, as required by Section 71 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. In this way the ‘special’ interest of the existing conservation area and the proposed extensions to it is clearly articulated. But this is not to say that the conservation area should be seen in isolation from the rural and historic character of the wider area. Indeed, as made clear in Terence O’Rourke’s recent Landscape & Visual Appraisal (completed in October 2016), the fields between Watlington and Pyrton perform a vital role in Draft Pyrton Conservation Area Appraisal Page 2 October 2017 separating Pyrton from its larger, urban neighbour and helping to prevent their potential unwelcome coalescence.

  • Notes on the Lancaster Estates in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries
    NOTES ON THE LANCASTER ESTATES IN THE THIRTEENTH AND FOURTEENTH CENTURIES BY DOROTHEA OSCHINSKY, D.Phil., Ph.D. Read 24 April 1947 UR knowledge of mediaeval estate administration is O based mainly on sources which relate to ecclesiastical estates, because these are easier of access and, as a rule, more complete. The death of an abbot affected a monastic estate only in so far as his successor might be a better or a worse husbandman; the estate was never divided between heirs, was not diminished by the endowment of widows and daughters, and was not doubled by prudent marriages as were seignorial estates. Furthermore, the ecclesiastics had frequently been granted their lands in frankalmoin, and no rent or service was rendered in return. With few exceptions their manors lay near the centre of the estate; and, finally, the clerics had sufficient leisure to supervise their estates themselves and little difficulty in providing a staff trained to work the estates intensively and profitably. Therefore we realise that any conclusions which are based on ecclesiastical estates only must necessarily be one-sided, and that before we can draw a general picture of the estate administration in the Middle Ages, we have to work out the estate adminis­ tration on at least some of the more important seignorial estates. The Lancaster estates with their changing fate are well able to reveal the chief characteristics of a seignorial estate, its extent, management and administration. The vastness of the estates of the Earls of Lancaster, and the importance of the family in the political history of the country, accen­ tuated and multiplied the difficulties of the estate adminis­ tration.

Our cover picture might be seen as a reminder of how tricky it can be to work out what is going to last, what is just a fad, and what is not going to last as long as intended. Watching the difficulty encountered in removing the old Chelmer Road bridge, where massive machines munched at a seeming snails pace through the condemned concrete, picking out the steel rods in a manner of frustration reminiscent of that tiny piece of healthy food, firmly wedged between the molars. It seems clear that the builders of the bridge never expected it’s days to end. Likewise, the builders of our beloved Navigation, built it as a purely industrial undertaking.
