Policy 2 - If you do not believe this policy to be effective please explain why. PAa - Please specify as precisely and succinctly as possible how you would modify this policy to improve its alignment to this test of soundness. Policy 3 - If you do not The draft Local Plan violates numerous criteria of the NPPF. believe this policy in It has no strategic policy setting out spatial strategy, as required under para 35 of the NPPF. consistent with the National Planning Policy For Green Belt Development Options (2017) it seems only sites in the Green Belt have been assessed. It is therefore impossible to say whether there are other sites which Framework Feb 2019 would have less impact on the environment and would be better suited to development. please explain why Para 136 of the NPPF 2019 says Green Belt boundaries should only be altered “where exceptional circumstances are fully evidenced and justified”. This has not been satisfied, and the proposal on the Green Belt is thus in violation of core NPPF requirements. SP BP8 fails against all three of the key NPPF criteria: • Social - the social objective states that in order to achieve sustainable development, developments must have “accessible services and open spaces that reflect current and future needs and support communities’ health, social and cultural well-being”. The site is not in a location which provides access to public transport and does not have sufficient access to shops and services. • Environmental - the environmental objective in the NPPF states that the planning system should “contribute to protecting and enhancing our natural, built and historic environment”. Site BP8 is adjacent to Paccar Scout Camp, which is a thriving rural camp site. There are over 50,000 visitors to the camp site every year. It would be forced to close. Safeguarding risks would be increased to unacceptable levels by the proximity of the proposed housing, changing entirely the nature of the PACCAR site. This would force Scout Camp administrators to reduce attendance numbers to such low levels as to become unviable, and would lead to the inevitable closure of this asset that benefits so many young people, many from deprived backgrounds • Economic sustainability - site BP8 contains the site of Winkers nightclub. The nightclub is a popular venue for students and local residents alike. The likely closure of the nightclub were the proposals approved, would have a significant negative effect on the night-time economy of the area. The loss of this community amenity would not conform with the economic objective of sustainable development as detailed in the NPPF, as it would result in the loss of a unique type of employment within the local area.

Specifically, it should have accommodated the unmet needs of Slough - a large town directly on the border of the plan area.

The plan fails to demonstrate that the development sites, and thus the overall spatial strategy, have been selected for inclusion in the plan on a robust, consistent and objective basis. Potential sites have been rejected and sites have been selected without adequate evidence and reasoning. The influence of the town of Slough, adjoining the southern border of the plan area, has insufficiently influenced the spatial strategy. In particular, sustainable settlements close to Slough are not given sufficient consideration for growth, based on this proximity.

Chesham cannot accommodate any significant highways improvements anyway due to the already limited verges and space beside the highway and combined with the topography of the town this means that there will be increased traffic congestion, with further worsening air quality. Air pollution is a particular concern in Chesham due to the already poor air quality along Bekhampstead Road where there is a designated Air Quality Management Area (since 2007) that already is recording air quality that is considerably worse than EU safe levels. Adding more homes outside the town on the Green Belt will generate more traffic will make the air quality even worse and insofar as this relates to the Green Belt site at Lye Green NE of Chesham, this cannot be sustainable nor justified nor is it in accordance with Government policy. The supporting Sustainability Appraisal (SA), states there are no Air Quality issues near the site, but this is factually incorrect as the Chesham AQMA is just 1Km from the southern boundary of the site Water Pollution. The site has the potential to pollute the chalk streams that provide Chesham's water, as noted in the SA, the policy on mitigation, is inadequate. There is also an inadequate policy to mitigate the effects on the Chesham Water Treatment works, which is struggling to meet current demand for Chesham. It is admitted in the SA that the Chalk streams in the Chilterns, and in particular Chesham are in Crisis, through climate change and over extraction by Affinity Water, but the plan provides no mitigation strategies. The site also has flooding issues, and again the plan provide no mitigation strategies. Therefore the plan is unsound with these major issues still outstanding.

Attend EiPb - If you wish to participate at the examination in public, please outline why you consider this to be necessary (please be as precise and succinct as possible Policy Level - PP - If you do Primary Health Care Facilities not believe this policy to be NHS England’s Five Year Forward View illustrates the changing role of general practice and the drive towards integrated health hubs, utilising technology and working ‘at positively prepared please scale’ to accommodate these transformations in the delivery of primary health care. Larger practices allow for a greater range of services to be delivered under one roof. For explain why example, ‘at scale’ provision allows flexibility for providers to consider accommodating social care services, minor-injury centres and social prescribing facilities. It also supports longer GP surgery opening hours. Primary health care delivered in this way has a knock-on reduction in hospital admissions (which cost significantly more than primary health services), saving the NHS considerable sums of money (making the already tight NHS budget go further in delivering patient care). The NHS Long Term Plan is places a similar emphasis on supporting fewer, larger primary care services that can improve the offer to patients. Dispersed, smaller, ‘single-use’ GP surgeries, cannot offer such improved services to patients. The CCG there has committed to the following principles: - The CCG will strive to develop modern, fit for purpose services that are accessible to local populations. - To ensure that practices remain resilient and sustainable, CCGs will no longer support the establishment of new single-handed GP practices and would only wish to fund new practices that can cater for at least 10,000 population (5 GPs). - Wherever possible, CCGs will promote the consolidation of services onto fewer sites to maximise the use of existing infrastructure and to promote joint working.

54 - The CCG will increasingly commission services that can be delivered in primary care that have traditionally been delivered in secondary care, thus promoting care closer to home. CCGs are exploring the development of out of hospital services provided in a community hub-type setting. - Development plans need to be in line with the BOB ICS Primary Care Strategy (currently in draft). Support paragraphs 11.1.1 - 11.5.1, however, the list of Health Section 106 sites as shown on pages 9 to 17 of the Infrastructure Development Plan appear to relate to only funding business cases. They include: • Beaconsfield Developer contributions to relate to Practice / CCG Business Case. • Amersham Developer contributions to relate to practice / CCG business case (£100k) • Little Chalfont Developer contributions to relate to practice / CCG business case (£TBA) • Chesham (Chess Medical Centre and Lion Street Surgery) – extension and modification of Surgeries - Developer contributions to relate to practice / CCG business case (£500k) • New healthcare facilities on National Epilepsy Centre (BP SP 7) or contribution so that provision of services can be catered for elsewhere – see below. Developer contributions to relate to practice / CCG business case (£TBA) • Expansion / modification of existing primary care services in Chalfont St Peter and depending on the scale of development in Chalfont St Peter and Gerrards Cross this may require the expansion of the Calcott Medical Centre or relocation to the Gerrards Cross Memorial Hospital site. Developer contributions to relate to practice / CCG business case (£TBA). • Additional primary care facilities in the area. Appropriate financial contribution from new development needed. Developer contributions to relate to practice / CCG business case (£TBA) • Provision relating to the site allocation at Holmer Green – appropriate financial contribution from new development needed. Developer contributions to relate to practice / CCG business case (£TBA) • Burnham Health Centre – extension and additional parking spaces (no mention under comments re Developer contributions to relate to practice / CCG business case) as capital funding expected from NHS England. • The Chalfont St Giles Surgery – extension (no mention of anything, just this surgery name) • Threeways Surgery Stoke Poges – modification of existing premises (appropriate financial contribution from new development needed, CCG not requesting funding for whole cost). Funding gap identified as £50k. We would like to recommend that the wording in these sections of the IDP is changed to reflect the discussions held between CCG and District Council Planners on these matters. In some cases e.g. Threeways Surgery and Beaconsfield, the CCG has been fortunate in securing a capital allocation from NHS England to help fund these two projects however that does not mean that public funding should meet these costs if developer contributions are available. Where we are yet to identify the true cost of additional infrastructure to meet demand, we explained to our Planning colleagues that costed information would only be available once the business case had been completed. Can we therefore suggest that within the “funding source” column of the IDP schedule that the following statement is used “level of developer contributions to be established once practice/CCG business case completed”. Section 11.1.6 states that Developer Contributions for certain sites are excluded from CIL (i.e. only recourse to Health infrastructure contributions is via Section 106 Agreements). These sites are: - More than 10 Ha in area - Sites of more than 400 homes - Sites of more than 10,000 m2 in floor area. The document (under Section 11.2 – Site Allocations) goes onto describe the following sites: 1. NE of Chesham – 500 homes 2. Holmer Green – 300 homes 3. Amersham Old Town (London Road West) – 40 homes 4. Amersham Old Town (Whieldon Street) – 50 homes 5. Little Chalfont – 700 homes 6. Chalfont St Peter – NE – 360 homes (40 % care/retirement homes) 7. Chalfont St Peter – SE – 200 homes 8. Beaconsfield – 1600 homes (on page 180 it mentions that financial contributions for primary health care facilities within the local area as agreed with the Clinical Commissioning Group) 9. Land west of Iver Heath – 360 homes Land to the north of Iver Station - mixed use development to include approximately 1,000 homes 11. Land to the east of Ridgeway Business Park, north of Iver railway station - mixed use development to include approximately 90 homes In our opinion, the problems with the above are: a. The low threshold of CIL not applying (i.e. only for 400 residential units or less) and by default S106 being the method of developer contribution above that threshold, coupled with the current inability to pool more than 5 no. Section 106 contributions means that it will be very difficult for the CCG to pool enough Section 106 contributions together to make a difference to any particular GP surgery in terms of a meaningful extension. b. Even when the cap on pooling Section 106 Contributions is lifted (understood to be September 2019), it will still be problematic to obtain enough developer contributions within a “local” area to satisfy the 3 tests for developer contributions funded by S106 Contributions (be necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, directly related to the development and fairly and reasonably relate in scale and kind to the development) and to fund new Primary Care facilities through these contributions. Please note that BCCG wish to agree with you the adoption of the “West Kent Model” for developer contributions or primary care health infrastructure, which would result in funding of £360 per person in each of the new developments that are described in the Site Allocations. Conservatively (on the assumption of 2.4 persons per home), this would reasonably require £4.415M of contributions, which would mainly be via Section 106 Contributions (as the majority of houses allocated are in sites of more than 400 homes) and the minority via CIL contributions. c. CIL is more flexible and provided the threshold for CIL can be increased to a minimum of say 700 homes, then all bar one of the allocations described above could potentially contribute CIL monies to the Councils who, provided there was a policy in place to do so, could pass on some of that CIL to the CCG for health infrastructure spend (so far I can’t see anything from the Councils on such a policy or draft policy in their documentation). Thus far, we cannot see anything from you in respect of any policy/draft policy that states that a percentage of CIL payments will be directed towards Health infrastructure, but we would want a contribution from Developers from CIL that would equate to the above-mentioned £360 per person for primary health care provision. We would also like to comment on two of the non-residential schemes.

55 1. Land to the north of Denham Round-about - 16,000m2 of office space, a hotel and ancillary uses; 2. Land adjacent to Taplow Station - 4,000m2 of office space. Office workers will require some primary care provision in the locality even if they live elsewhere and therefore developers should provide a proportionate contribution to health infrastructure. In the case of the latter scheme, developer contributions currently can only come from Section 106. We would contend that as office workers would utilise local GP surgeries, a Section 106 Agreement should address some health infrastructure nearby. By way of comparison, please see the link http://www.southoxon.gov.uk/sites/default/files/South%20Oxfordshire%20Infrastructure%20Delivery%20Plan-%2004%2001%2019%20-%20final%20for%20website.pdf to see examples of where a Council (in this case, South Oxfordshire District Council) has been helpful in terms of outlining Health Infrastructure funding. Please see particularly Chapter 4 (Infrastructure and Types and Assumptions) and the specific health infrastructure mentioned for: Berinsfield - £1.468 M for “new and expanded premises for a health centre” (1700 homes) Chalgrove Airport - £3 M S106 for “new GP surgery” (3000 homes) Culham Science Centre - £3.024 M S106 for “new GP surgery” (3,500 homes) Grenoble Road - £2.592 M S106 for “contribution towards GP provision” (3,000 homes) North of Bayswater Brook - £950k S106 for “contribution towards GP provision” (1,100 homes) Northfield, SE Oxford - £1.555 M S106 for “contribution towards GP provision” (1,800 homes) Wheatley Campus - £TBC for expansion/reconfiguration of Morland House Surgery, Wheatley PP Mods - Please specify as precisely and succinctly as possible how you would modify this policy to improve its alignment to this test of soundness.

I cannot see a CDC response to the points raised. The whole process is therefore not believe this policy to be questionable suggesting it is in breach of the National Planning Practice Guidance paragraph 84. positively prepared please The local plan states that the 2 proposed sites in Chalfont St Peter are in a sustainable location. This is untrue. There are hills making walking and cycling difficult which goes explain why against policy SP SP1 which states ‘development of all sizes and uses must accommodate walking and cycling as a primary means of transport to serve the development’. Exception Circumstances for removal of land from Green Belt Status has not been shown. The National Planning Practice Guidance specifically relates to sustainable development in urban areas inside Green Belt. The two sites proposed in Chalfont St Peter are outside of the centre and at the edge of developments. This is not sustainable as there are no (or poor) train or bus services in the area. One bus every 2 hours from the village is not a bus service! Again no ‘Exceptional Circumstances” are not shown. The Green Belt Exception Circumstances Report created by Chiltern & South Bucks in May 2019 is poorly constructed. Green Belt alone, does not constrain possibilities of meeting housing needs in Chalfont St Peter. There are in existence brownfield and poorly used Green Belt sites that could meet the requirements. The guidance and emphasis shown in the National Planning Practice Guidance documentation seems to have either been ignored or not understood. ‘Sustainable’ patterns of development are required which is not proven in the plan. The loss of the national Paccar scout camp (1 of a handful in the country offering this experience to children from all over the world and from every background) is an unacceptable outcome of this plan not to mention the loss of community employment. The Arup assessment carried out in 2016 shows inconsistent and potentially biased scoring. Many areas scoring lower the 2 proposed sites but no justification has been given for not including them for consideration of removal from Green Belt. Over 700 new homes were allocated to Chalfont St Peter under the Core Strategy. These have either already been built or are in the planning process. More is unfair and unsustainable in a village this size. All 5 requirements for Green Belt are valid for these two sites: 1: to check unrestricted sprawl of large built up areas. 2: To prevent neighbouring towns merging. The Epilepsy Site joins with the Colne Valley Park with a wooded buffer with Newlands Park, Chalfont St Giles and Horn Hill. 3: To assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment. As above with joining a park and woodland and rural areas. There should have been a much higher score regarding this. 4: To preserve the setting and special character of historic towns. The awarded score of 0 is wrong. How is this possible with 4 listed buildings on the site? C&SB have ignored the 2014 and Milton Keynes Historic Towns Project (BMHT) and the 2011 Chalfont St Peter Buckinghamshire Historic Towns Assessment showing the important historical character of the ‘Chalfont Colony’ and states the site is of ‘high heritage value’. It also denotes that it achieves a high score on historical and commercial values and a medium score for aesthetic values. The BMHT gives the ‘Chalfont Colony’ a ‘high’ heritage value.

58 5: To assist in urban regeneration by enforcing the recycling of derelict and other urban land. No prioritised consideration has been given to other sites over Green Belt.

Policy 1 - If you do not The proposals to release Green Belt land to meet housing targets (Generally, Spatial Policy SP believe this policy to be SP1 & specifically Policy SP BP2 at Lye Green NE of Chesham) are not justified based on the evidence submitted by the Councils. justified please explain why The Councils have stated that release of some Green Belt is necessary as part of an overall three part strategy involving (1) focus on built-up areas, to build dwellings on previously developed land, (2) an exported proportion of housing need to go to the Aylesbury District and (3) through Green Belt releases where sustainable built area extensions can be achieved without unacceptably harming the purposes or integrity of the Green Belt. We question the soundness of such a general policy given that the council has repeatedly failed to demonstrate that it has sought to identify and rigorously assess the suitability of brownfield land opportunities, and the desirability of achieving higher densities of development on these sites, which are generally closer to the town centre and more consistent with the Councils’ strategic objectives. The development of Green Belt sites to the north of Chesham involving many hundreds of homes will generate increased traffic, and although some highways improvements are suggested, they are insufficient, unfunded and not planned for completion before development of the sites. In Chesham the evidence shows that most of the road junctions and infrastructure is already operating above capacity with air pollution already a significant issue. The Councils are aware that Air pollution is a particular concern in Chesham due to the already poor air quality along Berkhamsted Road. The designated Air Quality Management Area there is already recording air quality levels considerably worse than legal safe levels. The traffic associated with additional housing will further exacerbate this issue unless significant remodelling of local roads and transport infrastructure is carried out. Again, these changes need to be made in advance of any significant addition to housing and local populations. In particular, from the point of view of transportation and travel the Green Belt site NE of Chesham (SP BP 2) is not a sustainable location. It is over 2Km away from the train station and slightly further still from the town centre. The Councils declared intent to increase use of, for example, cycling or walking in order to reduce environmental impact are unrealistic given the steep hill that separates the planned development from the town centre’s shops, health services, schools, sites of employment and transportation links.

The main landowner is a farmer who has asserted publicly and in a letter to the editor of Your Chesham that he is not prepared to release all of the land in his ownership for development. The land is also potentially an Asset Of Community Value and upon confirmation of this designation it would afford a community group the right to bid for the land. The community group (Brown Not Green) have stated their intention is to preserve the land given that many hundreds of local people have habitually used the fields at Lye Green as of right for various informal outdoor recreational purposes.

These easements and prescriptive rights may render the land very difficult to develop and make it undeliverable in planning terms.

76 This land also provides an important habitat for wildlife that will be threatened by development of this land. It is perverse that the Local Authority would promote such a valued community asset for development and undermines the objectives of the Localism Act 2011. As such this aspect of the Plan is unsound. These comments apply equally to proposals affecting the villages in the Green Belt – policies SP PP1 & DM PP1) Another aim of Green Belt land stated in NPPF paragraph 134, is to prevent neighbouring towns and settlements from merging into one another. The Green Belt land NE of Chesham performs exceptionally well in maintaining a distinct separate between settlements of Chesham & Lye Green as well as helping to maintain separate identities of other nearby communities at Orchard Leigh, Botley, Whelpley Hill, Ashley Green. It is perverse and inconsistent with national guidance to allocate this land for removal from Green Belt in light of these facts especially when the land also represents good quality agricultural land and an environment for many species of wildlife that will be lost if earmarked for development. The Council have asserted that Government planning policy requires local councils to review Green Belt boundaries when considering how to accommodate the development needed in their areas. Just because the Council may be required to look, does not mean the Council should review Green Belt boundaries which as previously stated should only be modified in “exceptional circumstances”. National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) as revised only last year, states in paragraph11 (b) I, directs “plan makers” to create policies that are required in Local Plans for housing and other uses unless Framework policies (expressly including Green Belt) “provides a strong reason for restricting the overall scale type or distribution of development in the plan area” Accordingly, I submit that given all of the above the land being proposed for release from Green Belt designation around Chesham is unjustified and contrary to national guidance. I am supportive of the Brown Not Green organisation’s initiative to have the land listed as an Asset of Community Value and I feel they speak for me in respect of their objections to the draft Local Plan. Accordingly, I request that any representations made by them at any future examination in public regarding the soundness of this Local Plan be considered as an extension of my own comments herein.

81 positively prepared please The Council’s emerging Local Plan is scant in its approach to infrastructure to support the growth of the District’s. This is off particular concern to the HGVS. Holmer Green explain why suffers from a deficient access to local services, most notably health and education facilities. The plan is not underpinned by an infrastructure delivery schedule, which should be developed to provide comfort that the growth of the District can be supported by the appropriate infrastructure. 4.2 The Council’s (only) policy in regard to infrastructure rests in BP SP1 – Building – Developer Contributions to Support Growth. It is considered that this policy is overly ambiguous insofar as its relationship with the specific requirements of Policy SP BP3. On first reading Site Allocation SP BP3 would be absolved from the requirements of CIL, due to the size of the site (17ha). However, in practice, the site is likely to come forward with smaller parcels of land, under the threshold, which realises a very significant risk that the infrastructure needs of Holmer Green will remain unmet. 4.3 Furthermore, it is a little unusual to see a policy restricting the ability to collect the levy on certain sites within a Local Plan, when such exclusions are dealt with in the Community Infrastructure Levy Draft Charging Schedule. The plan should identify the shortfall of infrastructure delivery in respect to Holmer Green and indeed the plan area and include provision to meet this shortfall PP Mods - Please specify as precisely and succinctly as possible how you would modify this policy to improve its alignment to this test of soundness.

Under the provisions of the Education Act 2011 and the Academies Act 2010, all new state schools are now academies/free schools and DfE is the delivery body for many positively prepared please of these, rather than local education authorities. However, local education authorities still retain the statutory responsibility to ensure sufficient school places, including explain why those at sixth form, and have a key role in securing contributions from development to new education infrastructure. In this context, we aim to work closely with local authority education departments and planning authorities to meet the demand for new school places and new schools. We have published guidance on education provision in garden communities and securing developer contributions for education, at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/delivering-schools-to-supporthousing-growth. You will also be aware of the corresponding additions to Planning Practice Guidance on planning obligations, viability and safe and healthy communities. 3. We would like to offer the following comments in response to the above consultation document. Please consider these comments in conjunction with our response to the CIL Draft Charging Schedule.Soundness 4. As you will be aware, the primary focus at this stage of the Local Plan’s preparation is on the soundness of the plan, with regard to it being positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent with national policy. The following detailed comments set out DfE’s view of the plan’s soundness in respect of education provision. 5. DfE supports the Council’s allocation and safeguarding of land for schools in the relevant site allocation policies, and reference to financial contributions where no onsite schools are required. However, there appears to be some disparity between the emerging Local Plan and CIL charging schedule. The site allocation policies imply that financial contributions will be sought specifically for education, which would be achieved by planning obligations, even though some of the sites fall below the 400 dwelling threshold that is being proposed for CIL. We recommend that this is clarified to explain that planning obligations will be sought for these developments, notwithstanding the provisions of the CIL Charging Schedule. The revised CIL Regulations coming into force on 1st September will allow both CIL and Section 106 funding to be used to fund the same type or item of infrastructure, without any restriction on the number of planning obligations that can be pooled. While DfE supports the use of planning obligations wherever justified in accordance with Regulation 122 of the CIL Regulations, clarifying the relationship between CIL and Section 106 in the site allocation policies or supporting text would help to demonstrate that the Local Plan is consistent with national policy and effective in delivering the proposed growth over the plan period. 6. No consideration appears to have been given to the potential long-term need to expand schools proposed on the allocation sites, particularly in view of their relatively small size when only one form of entry is being proposed. At this stage in the Local Plan’s preparation it may be too late to safeguard additional land for education as a specific policy requirement, but in the interests of demonstrating positive preparation of the plan, we recommend an addition to the supporting text which refers to open space being designated adjacent to school sites to allow for future expansion if required. This would then be explored in more detail through the masterplanning process, and would be consistent with Planning Practice Guidance on healthy and safe communities. 7. Planning Practice Guidance advises local authorities to plan for all phases and types of education, including special educational needs, but the Local Plan makes no provision for special educational needs despite the IDP stating that special schools are close to capacity (paragraph 79). We understand there is a review in progress, and recommend minor amendments before or during the examination to ensure that developer contributions are secured where appropriate, in response to an up-to-date IDP. This would help to demonstrate that the plan has been positively prepared based on a strategy which seeks to meet objectively assessed infrastructure requirements, and that the approach to the planning and delivery of education infrastructure is justified based on proportionate evidence. Developer Contributions and CIL 8. DfE welcomes the approach taken in the viability assessment underpinning both the CIL charging schedule and the Local Plan, giving proper consideration to the costs of education provision and making reference to the DfE guidance on securing developer contributions and local evidence of pupil yields and the costs of provision. We support the interrelationship between the IDP and the viability assessment, so that site-specific project costs are incorporated into the viability assessment when onsite schools are known to be required. 9. We note that the proposed site allocations (with specific education requirements) only account for 5,200 homes out of a supply of 11,099. It may be expected that a significant part of this remaining housing requirement will come forward in the form of small developments (below the 400 dwelling threshold for CIL) as windfalls or sites from the HELAA. It is important to consider the size of the CIL funding gap and whether there will be sufficient CIL funds available to cover the cost of the school places required a result of these smaller developments. If CIL will be insufficient or unavailable at the point of need, it would be preferable to seek developer contributions through a planning obligation, to mitigate the direct impacts of development. Government basic need grant for the creation of new school places does not include funding for land acquisition, so it is particularly important that pooled developer contributions (Section 106 and/or CIL) are secured for the purchase of standalone sites for new schools or school expansions when required, provided such planning obligations would comply with the Regulation 122 tests. We request that you consider carefully the appropriate balance of CIL and Section 106 funding for education, to ensure that new schools and school expansions can be delivered when they are needed, in step with housing development. 10. While DfE supports Policy BP SP1 (developer contributions to support growth), we request a minor amendment either to the policy or its supporting text, to clarify that developer contributions may be secured retrospectively, when it has been necessary to forward fund infrastructure projects in advance of anticipated housing growth. An example of this would be the local authority’s expansion of a secondary school to ensure that places are available in time to support development coming forward. This minor amendment would help to demonstrate that the plan is positively prepared and deliverable over its period.

Policy DM DP11 requires that new streets should be designed according to Manual for Streets – which states: 4.2.8 To create a permeable network, it is generally recommended that streets with one-way operation are avoided.

In Chesham the evidence shows that most of the road junctions and infrastructure is already operating above capacity. However Chesham cannot accommodate any significant highways improvements due to the already constrained verges and lack of space beside the highway. The topography of the town in the valley cannot take any more traffic congestion. Chesham already suffers from poor air quality along Berkhampstead Road (A416) where the designated Air Quality Management Area is recording air quality below EU safe levels. Adding more homes up a steep hill outside the town on the Green Belt will generate more traffic and make the air quality in the valley even worse. Policy DM CP6 Connected-Areas of Change. I welcome Chesham Town Centre Transport Interchange and the creation of a public, cycle and pedestrian transit interchange at Chesham Station with improved facilities and connectivity to the High Street. However how is this compatible with the proposal to build shops over the car parks? In the HEELA specific sites – they want to change designation of parking in Star Yard and Station/Waitrose car parks to retail. Ashridge Road is still classed as employment even though permission has been granted for some 42 houses there. We want people in the town centre, not more shops, many of the current shops are empty.

The new strategic plan for the whole of Buckinghamshire, to be prepared by the new unitary authority, is the appropriate mechanism in which to consider the following: • Runway 3 • Western Rail Link - Heathrow • Oxford - Cambridge Arc’ These schemes are well advanced and are likely to be implemented early in the Plan period. A development consent order application for the western rail link is due to be submitted to the Planning Inspectorate in 2019. The rail link, when approved, will provide services which link the main western line with the airport, stopping at Slough and Iver. This will lead to pressure for new homes and new jobs in Slough Borough and South Bucks district. Similarly, there will be significant development pressure associated with the expansion of Heathrow Airport. Plans for Heathrow Airport Runway 3 were approved by Parliament in 2018 and a consultation is currently underway on the plans, prior to the

110 planned submission of a development consent order application to the Planning Inspectorate. These are plans which have progressed significantly in recent years and which are well understood. To defer consideration of their impact on South Bucks District to a future plan seems at best naïve. The Plan should be proactively planning to meet future needs for housing and economic development, and the sensible location for this development is in the part of South Bucks where greatest development pressure is likely to be felt, adjacent to Slough. This approach is not sound. It is not effective because strategic cross boundary matters have again been deferred rather than dealt with. In order to be sound, paragraph 7.6.2 should be amended to add text to reflect the fact that this Plan acknowledges the proposed major developments, and plans proactively for them. ‘During the Plan period, it is anticipated that proposed major developments will occur which may impact on this Plan. This Plan recognises that these projects are well underway, and plans proactively for them, allocating land for development to meet the needs generated by the projects, and to afford new residents access to the new infrastructure. • Heathrow Airport Runway 3 • Western Rail Link - Heathrow • Oxford - Cambridge Arc’ PP Mods - Please specify as precisely and succinctly as possible how you would modify this policy to improve its alignment to this test of soundness.

While this is a serious concern, there is also the obvious impact on new and existing residents, who waste their time in traffic jams, and are unable to plan their journeys. This is a particular concern for Chesham, where the A416 has been designated a Priority Congestion Management Corridor (between Moor Road and The Vale). Addressing existing traffic congestion is listed as a strategic objective (3.5.5). Policy DM DP9 aims to "accommodate walking and cycling as a primary means of transport to serve the development.", and DM CP6 supports "Creation of a public, cycle and pedestrian transit interchange at Chesham Station with improved facilities and connectivity to the High Street." Large new developments are required to produce a travel plan (Policy DM CP1 & Appx CP2), which includes an assessment of air quality (9.10.4). These policies relate to new developments, and so are unlikely to address the problem of existing traffic congestion. The Strategic Assessment lists air quality as a residual negative impact (SA table N4, pxxxiii): Local Air quality The Local Plan is anticipated to lead to a reduction in local air quality with implications for human health. Development proposed in the Local Plan would place a large number of new residents in locations within 200m of busy or major roads and increase traffic volumes, contributing to decrease in air quality. Any policy which contributes to a decline in air quality is likely to be inconsistent with national policy, and the resulting plan will be unsound.

112 The impact of increased traffic volumes on the already existing congestion has been ignored, raising doubts as to whether the plan is deliverable. 7.6.1/DM CP6 The proposal for a Chesham Town Centre Transport Interchange is incompatible with the removal of the station car park proposed in 6.2.11, unless there is a serious belief that there will be a significant switch to cycling and walking. The hilly terrain makes this rather unlikely. PP Mods - Please specify as precisely and succinctly as possible how you would modify this policy to improve its alignment to this test of soundness.

The Chiltern Society involvement began in June 2017 when members of the Society HS2 group attended a Workshop event at Misbourne Abbey, where outlines of a dozen or so ‘Additional Projects’ were presented - designed “to further integrate the scheme [HS2] into the AONB landscape - over and above the mitigation identified in the Environmental Statement / pursuant to the Hybrid Act.” The Chilterns AONB review group had been assured a sum of £3m to take some of these projects forward. In order that the project progresses during the Plan period, the Society would like to see a reference to the Councils supporting the proposals and safeguarding the route from development.

As per our comments on DM CP4, the LPPV’s acknowledgement of the impact of HGVs and commercial traffic on Iver village, particularly given the AQMA designation for the High Street, is welcomed. However, the policy states that proposals which enhance movement and accessibility in the Ivers “are not fundamental to the delivery of the Plan” but will be supported. Therefore, unless proposals for Iver Village Environmental Improvements are brought forward, there is no commitment or obligation that they will be delivered. There must be a firmer commitment to the delivery of a relief road in the Local Plan rather than passing reference to assisting delivery. There is no definition

116 to what assisting means, or obligation for the developers of the site to physically deliver a relief road. This is addressed further to our comments under Policy SP BP11 which is the only site allocation in the LPPV which the Councils’ have identified as possibly being able to facilitate delivery.
