    Winter Newsletter, January 2021 From the Chairman Contents Dear Friends Letter from Chairman 1 This time last year, in writing for the Winter Newsletter, I said that with “the Secretary’s Minute Book 4 Christmas and New Year festivities behind us, winter is fully established. As I write it Treasurer’s Update 5 is very cold and frosty but bright clear sunshine; the snowdrops are in flower under Swire Ridgeway Arts Prize 5 the willow tree – I should be up on the Ridgeway rather than sitting at my desk. Great Chalk Way 6 Ridgeway Partnership News 6 A Ridgeway Epic 9 As everyone does at this time of year, the Trustees have also been thinking about our Facebook conversation 12 New Year’s resolutions and goals for the Friends of the Ridgeway and, of course, the trail itself. Musing on change with regard to our beloved Ridgeway leads to not entirely happy thoughts amongst the exciting possibilities”. But of course, the year turned out to be very different from that envisaged. The COVID-19 pandemic happened. And issues facing the trail changed – visits to the countryside increased with significant increases in visitors to the ridgeway. Much of this was to be welcomed, given the many health and wellbeing benefits provided to people through outdoor exercise and contact with nature. This increased number of visitors emphasised the importance of the trail to those who live along its route; it is a vital resource which we must protect for future generations and the inevitable issues they will face. There were, however, a number of incidences have occurred of undesirable actions and activities taking place, including damage to property and the environment.

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.

  • 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.
