  • Historic Walk-Thame-U3A-Draft 4
    Historic Walk – Thame & District U3A This rural walk along the River Thame passes through a number of villages of historical interest and visits the 15th century architectural gems of Rycote Chapel and Waterstock Mill. Starting at the church at Shabbington in Buckinghamshire the route soon crosses the River Thame into Oxfordshire and follows the river, before crossing the old railway line to reach Rycote Chapel. From Rycote the route follows an undulating track to Albury and then on to Tiddington. Heading south in Tiddington the route circles west to cross the railway line again before arriving at Waterstock via the golf course. Here there is an opportunity to visit the old mill before returning via the 17th century bridge at Ickford and back into Buckinghamshire. The small hamlet of Little Ickford is the last port of call before returning across the fields to Shabbington. In winter the conditions underfoot can be muddy and in times of flood parts of the route are impassable. Walk Length The main walk (Walk A) is just over 8.5 miles (13.8 km) long (inclusive of two detours to Rycote Chapel and Waterstock Mill) and is reasonably flat. At a medium walking pace this should take 3.5 to 4 hours but time needs to be added on to appreciate the points of interest along the way. Walk B is 5.8 miles (9.4 km) a shorter version of Walk A, missing out some of Tiddington and Waterstock. Walk C is another shorter variation of 4.7 miles (7.5 km), taking in Ickford Bridge, Albury and Waterstock but missing out Rycote Chapel and Shabbington.

I am directed by the Secretary of State to say that consideration has been given to the report of the Inspector, David M H Rose BA (Hons) MRTPI, who held an inquiry for 13 days between 4 November 2014 and 21 July 2015 into your client’s appeal against a refusal to grant outline planning permission by Aylesbury Vale District Council (‘the Council’) for up to 1,560 dwellings, together with a primary school, nursery, a mixed use local centre for retail, employment, healthcare and community uses, green infrastructure and new link road, in accordance with application reference 13/03534/AOP, dated 17 December 2013. 2.

  • Strategic Outline Business Case
    Oxford to Cambridge expressway Strategic Outline Business Case Strategic Outline Business Case Executive Summary Policy Context The creation of Highways England in 2015 changed the way road investment happens for England’s motorways and major roads. Funding is now determined every five years via a Road Investment Strategy (RIS), which is set by the Secretary of State for Transport. This stable investment over five year periods allows Highways England and the Department for Transport to plan for long-term, strategic challenges and opportunities relating to the England’s road network. The improvements outlined in the first RIS, published in December 2015 for the period 2015 - 2020 are currently being implemented. As such, there is a need to plan the investment which will be delivered as part of the second RIS period and beyond. In order to inform the development of the second RIS and longer term plans, Highways England is working closely with stakeholders and has developed a suite of eighteen Route Strategies to collate evidence on performance across the entire Strategic Road Network (SRN). In addition, six Strategic Studies have also been developed which aim to address complex problems at specific locations. One of these investigates linking Oxford to Cambridge via Bedford and Milton Keynes with a new Expressway. This report builds upon previous work, including the ‘Oxford to Cambridge Expressway Strategic Study: Stage 3 Report’ to deliver a Strategic Outline Business Case (SOBC) for the Missing Link of the Oxford to Cambridge Expressway. The Missing Link is the section between the Milton Keynes and Oxford, which includes a new route to connect the M1 to the M40 (the M1-M40 link) and sub-options improving the connection between the M40 to the A34 at Abingdon (M40-A34 section).
