  • Report Providing a Tourism Baseline in the HS2 Corridor
    The volume and value of tourism in the HS2 corridor of the Chilterns AONB A baseline study Prepared by: TSE Research Services 40 Chamberlayne Road Eastleigh Hampshire SO50 5JH Contributors and dedication Dedication This report is dedicated to Shirley Judges, (1949-2014), a passionate supporter and ardent protector of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Without Shirley’s infectious enthusiasm this project would not have happened. Shirley gave unstintingly of her time and energy to protect the area she loved from HS2, but she also knew the importance of assembling robust evidence, using recognised research methods and arming oneself with the relevant facts and figures to fight a cause. Drive and determination had to matched by the evidence. Shirley wanted a proper baseline study on the value of tourism threatened by HS2. At her specific request we raised the money and commissioned Tourism South East, a specialist tourist organisation with a research arm, to undertake the study. The Chilterns Conservation Board, where Shirley had been a dedicated board member for 10 years, kindly agreed to manage the project. Shirley’s wish was to petition to the Select Committee. Through this report she will.

  • DOMESTIC WALL PAINTINGS at CHALFONT ST. PETER, GREAT PEDNOR and ELSEWHERE E
    DOMESTIC WALL PAINTINGS AT CHALFONT ST. PETER, GREAT PEDNOR and ELSEWHERE E. CLIVE ROUSE, F.S.A. Two important additions to Buckinghamshire's already quite impressive list of Elizabethan and Jacobean domestic wall paintings should be recorded, namely, in a house (now demolished) at Chalfont St. Peter, and at Great Pednor Manor, Chesham. In addition, one or two minor items should be mentioned which give further proof, if any be needed, of the very widespread practice of mural decoration at that period, even in quite humble dwellings. CHALFONT ST. PETER The house in which the paintings occurred formerly stood on the east side of the High Street, forming, in fact, the street frontage of the quadrangle known as the Barrack Yard, into which a high, covered, timbered gateway led. The entire block was demolished in the autumn of 1938, having been condemned by the local surveyor— the worst of many unnecessary blows to its old buildings that this village has suffered at the hands of the local authority, its ancient character having now been practically destroyed. It was in the course of the demolition that the full extent of the wall painting was revealed. The house is listed as item No. 9 under Chalfont St. Peter in the Royal Commission's inventory.1 As long ago as 1918, some evidence of colour was noticed; and I recorded one panel of painting on the street gable, over what was then Ranee's greengrocery shop, in 1927,3 mentioning that there were other indications of painting. As the rooms were then occupied, it was not possible to make further investigations at that time.

  • Chesham Town Council Response to Core Strategy Consultation
    Chesham Town Council Response to Chiltern District Council’s Draft Core Strategy Consultation. CTC welcomes the objectives of the Core Strategy. In particular it supports the fact the vision expressed in the Chiltern Sustainable Community Strategy has been adopted as the vision for the Core strategy. (P 16) CTC does not totally agree with some of the detail in the Core Strategy however and wishes to raise the following points: 1. SHLAA and Sustainable Villages 1.1 We note that the SHLAA carried out by CDC only looked at urban areas and did not seek to identify housing sites in village locations. The chart ‘proposed distribution of housing development in Chesham’ ( 7.11 and on) shows that a significant amount of development has occurred from 2006 – 2010 in Chalfont St Giles, Great Missenden, Prestwood and Heath End, Penn & Knotty Green, Chesham Bois, Seer Green and other villages. Indeed, in ‘other villages’ the whole allocated complement of 60 houses has already been delivered. Seer Green and Missenden are both served by mainline stations, and public transport to Missenden/Prestwood is comparable to that serving Chalfont St Giles. 1.2 The Core Strategy attaches considerable importance to sustainability for villages, but ignores the fact that building more dwellings there would contribute to this. No evidence is presented as to what makes individual villages remain sustainable communities. For instance we note in particular the number of planning applications for change of use of local pubs from public houses to private residences (The Bull at Bellingdon, the Pheasant at Ballinger) and that one of the grounds argued in support of this is that there is insufficient local clientele who can walk to these pubs.
