INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Chinnor Neighbourhood Plan was made in October 2017. 1.2 In the closing stages of the preparation of Chinnor's Neighbourhood Plan, the December 2016 Ministerial Statement made provision that neighbourhood plans that allocated sites for housing were considered up to date when a three-year housing land supply could be demonstrated. The National Planning Policy Framework (2019) codifies the ministerial statement in para. 14 and states that a made neighbourhood plan that contains policies and allocations to meets its identified housing requirement is considered to be up to date when the local planning authority can demonstrate at least a three- year housing land supply and its housing delivery was at least 45% of that required over the previous three years.

  • 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.

Before the meeting began there was a short discussion about preparations for the appeal against planning permission on the Watlington Rd. site. Some members of the steering group met members of the Parish Council and other residents on 10th Sept – and have joined a working group to draft statements to read out at the appeal hearing. Item 2. There were no new declarations of interest. Item 3. Approval of minutes The minutes of the meeting on 29th August were approved. Item 4. Matters arising Chris sent minutes of the meeting with Tracy Smith to all members of the steering group. Jon has been unable to find an expert on flooding, so will do further research himself – Peter F has a map of the drainage system in Lewknor. Duncan continues to liaise with interested parties regarding the planning appeal. Peter G. has emailed Community First for details of their services. Ailsa has produced a leaflet with results of Cons. 2. This has also been placed in Grapevine, on Facebook and on the website; Helen produced a map of the parish for use at the feedback events. Some working group project plans have been entered on Google Drive, but some are still being completed.
