1 Introduction

1.1 Background

1.1.1 Lepus Consulting (Lepus) has been instructed by Aylesbury Vale District Council (AVDC) to undertake a Sustainability Appraisal (SA) of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (VALP). This document presents the results of the reasonable alternatives assessments for potential development sites to be included in the VALP.

1.1.2 Please note that this document does not constitute an Environmental Report in line with the SEA Directive1. It is a record of assessments of reasonable alternatives (options) for housing and mixed-use housing and employment sites in Aylesbury Vale (Aylesbury).

1.2 Purpose of this report

1.2.1 This report has been prepared to help inform the Councils’ preparation of the VALP. It specifically concentrates on the high level assessment of reasonable alternatives being considered as part of the planned consultation on the local plan. The consultation will take place in July 2016.

1.2.2 Article 5(1) of the SEA Directive states that ‘Where an environmental assessment is required under Article 3(1), an environmental report shall be prepared in which the likely significant effects on the environment of implementing the plan or programme, and reasonable alternatives taking into account the objectives and the geographical scope of the plan or programme, are identified, described and evaluated. The information to be given for this purpose is referred to in Annex I.’

1.2.3 PPG Paragraph: 018 Reference ID: 11-018-20140306 states that ‘Reasonable alternatives are the different realistic options considered by the plan-maker in developing the policies in its plan. They must be sufficiently distinct to highlight the different sustainability implications of each so that meaningful comparisons can be made. The alternatives must be realistic and deliverable.’

1 European Directive 2001/24/EC

1.3 About the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan 2013-2033

1.3.1 This Local Plan will seek to manage and direct growth in Aylesbury to bring more investments, employment and opportunity to the district. Development will be managed in a way that respects valued and quality environments and protects the things that make Aylesbury special.

1.3.2 AVDC prepared the Aylesbury Vale District Local Plan, which was published in 2004. This plan expired in 2007, although a number of policies were saved by a Direction from the Secretary of State. These policies currently guide development in the district.

1.3.3 AVDC prepared the previous Vale of Aylesbury Plan to provide up-to- date planning policy in the district. This plan was not adopted as it was withdrawn on the advice of an independent planning inspector.

1.3.4 Following the withdrawl of the previous Vale of Aylesbury Plan, preparation of the VALP began. Once adopted, the VALP will set the framework for planning decisions in the district.

1.4 Reasonable alternatives: sites

1.4.1 AVDC advised Lepus that those sites presented in the HELAA2 that are identified as being suitable or part suitable for housing, or for housing and economic development, constitute reasonable alternatives. Those sites with extant planning permission were excluded from assessments, as well as those that have been allocated in a made (legally adopted) neighbourhood plan. In addition, a site in Wendover has been identified as potentially suitable for development following a Green Belt Review3.

1.4.2 A list of all potential site allocations considered to be reasonable alternatives is presented in Table 1.1.

1.4.3 Along with the site allocations listed in Table 1.1, AVDC are also considering options for a new settlement. A New Settlement Study4 identified and reviewed twelve growth locations for new settlements in Aylesbury. Of these, Winslow and Haddenham performed the highest against set criteria, and were identified as the locations with the greatest potential to accommodate strategic development. Six options have been put forward for consideration; three of these options are based around the expansion of Haddendham and three are based around the expansion of Winslow. These options are summarised in Table 1.2.

1.5 Using this document

• Chapter 2 presents the methodology used to undertake the SA of the different housing and employment sites. • Chapter 3 presents the assessment results for each of the site allocation options. • Chapter 4 presents the assessment results for each of the new settlement options. • Chapter 5 presents information about the best performing options and next steps in the SA process.

2 Methodology

2.1 Approach to assessment

2.1.1 All site allocation options and new settlement alternatives (see Tables 1.2 and 1.3) have been assessed against the SA Framework (see Appendix A). The SA Framework is composed of objectives and decision-making criteria. Acting as yardsticks of environmental performance, the SA Objectives are designed to represent the topics identified in Annex 1(f)5 of the Directive. Consequently, the SA Objectives seek to reflect all subject areas to ensure the assessment process is transparent, robust and thorough.

2.1.2 To expand on the central focus of each SA Objective (as they are high- level and potentially open-ended) the SA Framework includes a series of questions or ‘decision making criteria’ for use when applying the SA Framework to the assessment of sites and new settlements.

2.1.3 The purpose of the SA Objectives is to provide a way of ensuring that the proposed plan considers the needs of Aylesbury in terms of its environmental and socio-economic effects.

2.1.4 It should be noted that the ordering of the SA Objectives does not infer any prioritisation.

2.1.5 The approach to assessment uses geographic information, the SA Framework and established standards (where available) to help make the assessment decisions transparent and robust.

2.2 Appraisal process

2.2.1 The appraisal process has used the SA Framework, the review of plans, programmes and policies and the baseline, as presented in the SA Scoping Report, to assess each policy proposal. Assessments have been undertaken using this empirical evidence and, to a lesser extent, expert judgement.

5 Annex 1(f) identifies: ‘the likely significant effects on the environment, including on issues such as biodiversity, population, human health, fauna, flora, soil, water, air, climatic factors, material assets, cultural heritage including architectural and archaeological heritage, landscape and the interrelationship between the above factors’.

2.2.2 The first stage of assessment involves answering each of the questions in the SEA Framework in turn with a yes (+), no (-), uncertain (+/-) or negligible / no effect / not applicable (0). The results of this indicate whether the scenario is likely to bring positive, negative or uncertain effects in relation to the SEA Objectives.

2.2.3 The second stage of assessment considers the level of significance of the effects identified in the first stage (described above). Leading from the likelihood of positive or negative effects, the assessment draws on criteria for determining the likely significance of effects referred to in Article 3(5) of the SEA Directive and presented in Annex II of the Directive (see Box 2.1). The majority of identified positive or negative effects can be considered to be significant. Any assessment rated as negligible is not considered to represent a significant effect.

2.2.4 At a strategic level it can be difficult to assess significant effects in the absence of widespread data. Instead, orders of magnitude are used, based on geographic significance and impact magnitude. Table 2.1 illustrates such orders of magnitude for positive and negative effects.

2.2.5 Each of the effects identified in the first stage of assessment are assigned a colour and corresponding symbol to reflect the level of significance of the effect and whether it is positive or negative. Orders of magnitude are not assigned to uncertain effects. At this second stage of assessment, a single value from Table 2.1 is allocated to each SEA Objective.

2.2.6 When selecting a single value to best represent the environmental performance of the relevant SA Objective, the Precautionary Principle6 is used. This is a worst-case scenario approach. Values presented at the first stage of assessment (see the questions in the SA Framework) are used to determine whether the single value for the SA Objective is positive, negative, uncertain or neutral / negligible.

6 The Precautionary Principle States that when human activities may lead to morally unacceptable harm that is scientifically plausible but uncertain, actions shall be taken to avoid or diminish that harm. Af full definion can be found here: http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0013/001395/139578e.pdf

2.2.7 For example, if a positive effect is identified in relation to one question and a negative effect is identified in relation to another question within the same SEA Objective, that objective will be given an overall negative value. A negative score may not be recorded for the SEA Objective overall, if it is considered to be of negligible magnitude.

2.2.8 The results of this second stage of assessment are presented in Chapters 3 and 4 of this report. The results from Table 2.1 are presented in a single-line summary matrix and are accompanied by a commentary on identified effects. The matrix is not a conclusive tool. Its main function is to show visually whether or not the proposed options are likely to bring positive, adverse or uncertain effects in relation to the SA Objectives and the magnitude of these effects. The commentary is then used to interpret the matrix findings.

Table 2.1: Guide to impact significance matrix

Adverse Positive Neutral or Uncertain negligible High Medium Low Low Medium High

International / Major Major Moderate Moderate Major Major 0 +/- National (High) ------++ +++ +++ Geographic Regional Major Moderate Minor Minor Moderate Major scale 0 +/- (Medium) ------+ ++ +++ (Sensitivity) Local Moderate Minor Minor Minor Minor Moderate 0 +/- (Low) -- - - + + ++

2.2.9 Whilst the orders of magnitude are determined by impact magnitude and sensitivity, the determination of impact takes into consideration the characteristics of the resultant effect as presented in Box 2.1.

2.2.10 As demonstrated in Table 2.1, significance is determined by the sensitivity (as determined by geographic scale) of the receptor and the impact magnitude. The coloured boxes represent the level of significance of the predicted effect. The text in each of these boxes describes the level of significance, whilst the plus (+) and minus (-) symbols, along with the colours, give a visual representation of this.

2.2.11 Geographic scale relates primarily to the level of importance of the receptor, or the level at which it is designated, if applicable. Geographic scale may also refer to the physical area of the receptor, or the part of the receptor likely to be affected.

2.2.12 Impact magnitude relates to the degree of change the receptor will experience, including the probability, duration, frequency and reversibility of the effects (see Box 2.1). The terms used in Table 2.1 are explained in more detail below.

2.2.13 Limitations in terms of the level of detail and confidence of assessment are cited in the explanatory text; the worse case scenario has been assumed in accordance with the Precautionary Principle (see paragraph 2.2.6).

Box 2.1 Annex II of the SEA Directive

Criteria for determining the likely significance of effects referred to in Article 3(5) of the SEA Directive

The characteristics of plans and programmes, having regard, in particular, to

• the degree to which the plan or programme sets a framework for projects and other activities, either with regard to the location, nature, size and operating conditions or by allocating resources;

• the degree to which the plan or programme influences other plans and programmes including those in a hierarchy;

• the relevance of the plan or programme for the integration of environmental considerations in particular with a view to promoting sustainable development;

• environmental problems relevant to the plan or programme;

• the relevance of the plan or programme for the implementation of Community legislation on the environment (e.g. plans and programmes linked to waste- management or water protection).

Characteristics of the effects and of the area likely to be affected, having regard, in particular, to

• the probability, duration, frequency and reversibility of the effects;

• the cumulative nature of the effects;

• the transboundary nature of the effects;

• the risks to human health or the environment (e.g. due to accidents);

• the magnitude and spatial extent of the effects (geographical area and size of the population likely to be affected);

• the value and vulnerability of the area likely to be affected due to:

• special natural characteristics or cultural heritage;

• exceeded environmental quality standards or limit values;

• intensive land-use;

• the effects on areas or landscapes which have a recognised national, Community or international protection status.

2.3 Geographic scale

2.3.1 Impact assessment in the sustainability appraisal considers a range of geographic scales and sensitivities at which the impact and subsequent effects might be experienced. A guide to the range of scales used in the impact significance matrix is presented in Table 2.2.

Table 2.2: Geographic scales

Sensitivity Typical criteria

The international level is aimed at designations that have an international aspect or consideration of transboundary effects International / beyond national boundaries. This also applies to predicted national effects at the national level or designations/receptors that have a national dimension.

This includes the regional and sub-regional scale, including Regional county-wide level and regional areas such as the South East.

Local This is the district and neighbourhood scale.

2.4 Impact magnitude

2.4.1 Impacts are assessed by combining judgements about susceptibility to the type of change arising from the specific proposal with judgements about the value attached to the receptor.

2.4.2 On a strategic basis, the appraisal considers the degree to which a location can accommodate change without detrimental effects on known receptors (identified in the baseline) and the degree to which individual receptors will be affected by the change. This is determined by considering factors included in Annex II of the SEA Directive (see Box 2.1):

2.4.3 SA and SEA are concerned with likely significant effects. As such, if an effect is considered improbable, it will not be considered in assessment. It is considered that most effects cannot be predicted with absolute certainty, as many impacts depend on design of development and may be subject to mitigation.

Table 2.3: Impact magnitude

Magnitude of Typical criteria Effect Likely total loss of or major alteration to the receptor in question. OR High Provision of a new receptor / feature OR The impact is permanent and frequent.

Partial loss of / alteration / improvement to one or more key elements/features/ characteristics of the receptor in question. OR Medium The impact is one of the following: • Frequent and short-term • Frequent and reversible • Long-term (and frequent) and reversible • Long-term and occasional • Permanent and occasional

Minor loss / alteration / improvement to one or more key elements/features/ characteristics of the receptor in question.

Low OR The impact is one of the following: • Reversible and short-term • Reversible and occasional • Short-term and occasional

2.5 Significance

2.5.1 By combining the assessment of geographic scale and magnitude of impact it is possible to predict the significance of a proposal. Significance can be categorised as minor, moderate or major. The nature of the effect can be either beneficial or adverse depending on the type of development and the design and mitigation measures proposed. Table 2.1 is a matrix for categorising significant environmental effects; it combines the criteria used to define impact magnitude with receptor sensitivity and geographic scale, in order to arrive at a judgement of the likely level of significance. Terms used in the table are explained in Table 2.4.

Table 2.4: Guide to terms used in the significance matrix

Significance Definition

The size, nature and location of a proposal would: • Permanently degrade, diminish or destroy the integrity of the receptor; • Cause a very high quality receptor to be permanently changed and its quality diminished; Major adverse • Not be fully mitigated and may cumulatively amount to a severe adverse effect; • Be at a considerable variance to the location, degrading the integrity of the receptor; or • Be substantially damaging to a high quality receptor such as a specific regional or national designation. The size, nature and location of a proposal would: • Be out of scale with the location; Moderate adverse • Leave an adverse impact on a receptor of recognised quality such as a specific district or county designation. The size, nature and location of a proposal would: • Not quite fit into the existing location or with existing Minor adverse receptor qualities; • Affect undesignated yet recognised receptor qualities at the neighbourhood scale. The size, nature and location of a proposal would: • Improve undesignated yet recognised receptor qualities at the neighbourhood scale; Minor beneficial • Fit into or with the existing location and existing receptor qualities; • Enable the restoration of valued characteristic features partially lost through other land uses. The size, nature and location of a proposal would: • Fit very well with the location; Moderate beneficial • Improve one or more key elements / features / characteristics of a receptor with recognised quality such as a specific district or county designation. The size, nature and location of a proposal would: • Enhance and redefine the location in a positive manner, making a contribution at a national or international scale. • Enhance and redefine the location in a positive manner; Major beneficial • Repair or restore receptors badly damaged or degraded through previous uses; or • Improve one or more key elements / features / characteristics of a receptor with recognised quality such as a specific regional or national designation.

2.6 Assumptions and limitations to assessment

2.6.1 There are a number of limitations, which should be borne in mind when considering the results and conclusions of this assessment.

2.6.2 Sustainability Appraisal is a tool for predicting potential significant effects. Prediction of effects is made using an evidence based approach and incorporates a judgement.

2.6.3 The assessments are based on the best available information, including that provided to us by the client team and information that is publicly available. Every attempt has been made to predict effects as accurately as possible using the available information.

2.6.4 Distances have been measured from the centre of the site or settlement to the centre of the receptor. This has been measured as the crow flies, as it is not possible to know the routes of roads and footpaths through potential development sites at this stage. Distances to facilities and amenities have been considered sustainable if they are within the maximum recommended distances stated in Barton, Grant and Guise (2010) Shaping Neighbourhoods for local health and global sustainability.

2.6.5 Cumulative effects are not assessed in this document. As this document represents the reasonable alternatives stage, it is not known which of the options presented will be carried forward to the next stage of plan making. Cumulative and/or in-combination effects are not assessed without knowing which policies will be in the final plan.

2.6.6 The following paragraphs detail assumptions made in relation to each SA Objective.

SA Objective 3: Biodiversity

2.6.7 No site visits have been undertaken to survey and record habitat or species information at each site.

2.6.8 Without species-specific data for each site, assessment of impacts has concentrated on habitat presence and diversity. The following assumptions apply:

• Great Crested Newts are associated with ponds, lakes and other suitable water features. • Bats are associated with mature woodland, certain buildings, quarries and caves.

• Reptiles are associated with railway embankments, allotments, quarries and rough grassland. • Dormice are associated with coppiced woodland and mature hedgerows, especially ancient semi-natural woodland, in the vicinity of suitable woodland locations. • White-Clawed Crayfish are associated with freshwater streams, rivers, canals and lakes. • Badgers are associated with banks, arable and pasture farmland and grassland. • Breeding and wintering Birds are associated with woodland, trees, hedgerows, and other shrubby structures. • Otters are associated with freshwater habitats, particularly rivers. • Water Voles are associated with vegetated river, stream, canal, ponds and ditch banks.

2.6.9 For the purpose of this document, habitats of principal importance are those listed under s.41 of the NERC Act and species of principal importance are those listed under s.41 of the NERC Act.

SA Objective 6: Natural Resources

2.6.10 There is no water available for licensing in the Thames catchment area. Flows of the rivers in this catchment are likely to be below the requirement to meet Good Ecological Status7. The Thames catchment has low resources reliability, with consumptive resource available less than 30% of the time. Due to the limited water resource of the River Colne, the Environment Agency are investigating abstraction licenses within this waterbody. This will lead to a series of actions to improve sustainability of water abstraction and to increase the ecological status of waterbodies.

2.6.11 It is assumed that all housing proposals in the local plan will be subject to appropriate approvals and licencing for sustainable water supply from the Environment Agency.

SA Objective 9: Transport Assumptions

2.6.12 Distance thresholds presented in Barton, Grant and Guise (2010) have been used to inform assessments. In line with this, a bus stop is considered to be accessible from a site if it lies within 400m. A train station is considered to be accessible if it is within 1km of a development site. Bus services are considered to be frequent if they serve a stop once per hour or more.

2.6.13 The presence of a bus stop served by frequent services is considered to be of minor significance (see Table 2.1). This is partially due to the fact that bus routes and timetables may be changed to respond to new development. The presence of a train station is considered to be of moderate significance, as train stations offer access to a long-distance transport network and are considered relatively permanent.

2.6.14 There is an assumption that the majority of residents moving into new residential developments will own a car, or other private vehicle8. There is an assumption that car use is likely to be lower if local services and amenities are close enough to be accessible by foot or if there are good links to sustainable modes of transport, particularly buses and cycleways.

SA Objective 11: Health

2.6.15 Barton, Grant and Guise (2010) gives distances within which health and recreation facilities are considered to be accessible. These distances are presented in Table 2.5 and have been used to inform the assessment of reasonable alternatives.

Table 2.5: Accessible distances to facilities and amenities (Barton et al, 2010) Features Accessible distance Leisure centre 2km Doctor’s surgery 800m Hospital 8km

8 Throughout this report, the use of the word ‘car’ refers to any private vehicle, including cars, vans and motorbikes.

3 Site Allocations Assessment Results

3.1.1 Site assessments are based on the boundaries shown on maps contained in the HELAA v310., and can be found at Appendix B Assessments assume that the entirety of the site will be developed, unless the HELAA identifies a specific part of a site as being unsuitable for development. Masterplanning and design details have not been taken into consideration, as Lepus Consulting have not been supplied with these for each individual site.

3.2 Assessment uniformity

3.2.1 In some circumstances, due to the geographic proximity of sites and limitations of baseline data, assessment results tend to repeat themselves. To avoid lengthy repetition of text, the following assessment findings presented in Table 3.1 apply to all site assessments.

Table 3.1: Assessment uniformity SA Objective 6: Natural Resources Where a site or area is identified as being Grade 3 agricultural land, it is not known whether this is Grade 3a or 3b, unless stated. Grade 3a agricultural land is considered to be best and most versatile, whereas Grade 3b is not. Development on Grade 3a agricultural land would lead to loss of this resource. SA Objective 8: Waste Potential sites for housing are not expected to increase the per capita waste generation of Aylesbury district, where these are currently undeveloped or unused. Changes to or increases in employment / business sites (i.e. potential sites for mixed-use development) may lead to a change in the amount of waste generated and recycled, depending on the nature of the businesses. Employment sites have been assessed as uncertain for SA Objective 8 as the amount of waste generated depends on the type of business operating at this site. SA Objective 10: Housing All sites identified as being suitable or part suitable for housing, or for housing and economic development, could contribute to meeting the housing demand for Aylesbury and are assessed as positive against SA Objective 10. SA Objective 12: Economy All sites identified as being suitable or part suitable for housing and economic development, could contribute to provision of employment opportunities and are assessed as positive against SA Objective 12.

3.3.1 Site AYL106 is adjacent to the Grade II listed 159 Cambridge Street. Sites AYL032 and AYL059 area adjacent to Aylesbury conservation area and associated listed buildings. Site AYL108 lies completely within the conservation area. Site AYL059 also includes two listed buildings and AYL054 contains a listed building. Development may change the character of these sites, which could lead to an adverse change in the setting of these features.

3.3.2 Sites AYL032, AYL054 and AYL059 lie within an archeological notification site (ANS). Whilst much of the land is already developed, the development of these sites within an ANS may lead to a loss of archaeological features (SA Objective 1).

3.3.3 As all Aylesbury sites are within the urban area, all are visible from houses, employment sites, roads and/or footpaths to some extent. The Grand Union Canal Walk is a promoted route that runs into central Aylesbury from the northeast. Site AYL051 is adjacent to this route. Development of this site will be highly visible to walkers along the route, although the effect of this may be softened by the fact the route is already mostly in an urban context at this point (SA Objective 2).

3.3.4 Table 3.2 presents sites that currently consist of brownfield land.

Table 3.2: Brownfield sites in Aylesbury Potential site allocations on brownfield land AYL025 AYL052 AYL035 AYL054 AYL051 AYL059 AYL063 AYL077

3.3.5 In terms of landscape, brownfield sites are considered to be less sensitive to development. Those sites that consist of previously developed land have a greater opportunity to enhance local character by replacing old development, much of which is currently disused, with new development (SA Objectives 2 and 6).

3.3.6 Sites AYL054 and AYL051 are adjacent to the Aylesbury Arm 81G03 Biological Notification Site (BNS), which follows the Grand Union Canal. Development at these sites may reduce the quality of the BNS, for example through runoff and debris from the sites into the watercourse.

3.3.7 Site AYL035 includes small areas of trees, which may be important for the urban biodiversity of Aylesbury. Loss of these features may contribute to a local loss of biodiversity.

3.3.8 Part of site AYL032 is currently in use as allotments, although the HELAA states that development should not lead to a loss of allotments. Development of this site may lead to loss of the area of scrub and trees to the west of the allotments, although it is unknown if this part of the site would be developed. Sites AYL049, AYL054 and AYL073 consist of a combination of trees, scrub and rough grassland, which can provide habitat for species such as birds, bats and reptiles. Development of these sites may lead to local biodiversity losses (SA Objective 3).

3.3.9 All key radial routes out of the town experience high volumes of traffic, as detailed in the SA Scoping Report11. All development on sites that are currently unused or undeveloped is expected to contribute to this traffic, which may lead to increased congestion in the town. Increases in congestion would be expected to lead to increases in greenhouse gas emissions associated with transport. Increased congestion would also be

expected to lead to increased PM10 emissions from diesel, adversely affecting human health. It is uncertain whether development at those sites that have been identified for change of use or redevelopment will lead to an increase or decrease in traffic generation and associated greenhouse gas emissions (SA Objective 4).

3.3.10 Flooding in Aylesbury town is associated with waterbodies including the Grand Union Canal and Bear Brook. Sites near to these features tend to be at greater risk of fluvial and surface water flooding. Sites AYL051, AYL054 and AYL073 lie partially within Flood Zone 2. AVDC are currently undertaking a sequential test that will identify in greater detail the scale and nature of the flood risk at these sites and their suitability from a flood risk perspective. For greenfield sites, namely AYL073, loss of green space may exacerbate risk of flooding by reducing water absorption and increasing surface water runoff (SA Objective 5).

3.3.11 All sites are within 400m of a bus stop that is served by at least half- hourly bus services. As such, all potential development sites have good public transport links around Aylesbury and, for some, between towns. All sites are within 1km of Aylesbury rail station, with the exception of the following:

• AYL025; • ALY035; • AYL049; and • AYL051. 3.3.12 Site AYL054 is just over 1km of a rail station. Due to the small additional distance to access the rail station from this site, it has been considered to be within walking distance of the rail station (SA Objective 9).

3.3.13 All sites except site AYL035 are within 2km of the nearest leisure centre; Aqua Vale Swimming and Fitness Centre. As site AYL035 lies between two public parks, including a children’s play area, residents will have access to recreational opportunities.

11 Lepus Consulting (2015) Sustainability Appraisal of the Aylesbury Vale Local Plan

3.3.14 All potential development sites are within 800m of a GP surgery with the exception of site AYL025. This is likely to ensure that residents at all sites, except AYL025, have good access to healthcare (SA Objective 11).

3.3.15 Development at the following sites could lead to a loss in employment land, as existing business space would be replaced with housing:

• ALY032; • AYL035; • AYL059; • AYL063; and • AYL108. 3.3.16 Site AYL052 is expected to contribute to the local economy, as this site is suitable for both housing and economic uses (SA Objective 12).

3.4.1 There are two listed buildings located within the boundary of site BIE022; Barn at New Manor Farm (Grade II*) and Old Manor (Grade II). A number of Grade II listed buildings are located along Aylesbury Road. Development at sites BIE001, BIE003, BIE024 and BIE027 has the potential to impact the setting of these historic assets.

3.4.2 BIE003 and BIE024 are located partially within Bierton conservation area. Development at these sites may result in damage to the ANS and the conservation area. Development of any potential development site in Bierton has the potential to have an adverse impact on the settings of these features (SA Objective 1).

3.4.3 Bierton is located within LCA 9.11: Bierton Ridge. The village of Bierton dominates the landscape, being strung out along the A418, which maintains a heavy flow of traffic. Overall visibility and sense of place are assessed as being moderate, with hedgerow patterns around the village providing some visual unity for the area. Housing types within the settlement area are made up of mainly 60’s semi-detached houses with a few larger houses interspersed.

3.4.4 Development at sites BIE001, BIE003, BIE024 and BIE027 are in keeping with the linear settlement pattern along Aylesbury Road. Sites BIE001, BIE003, BIE024 and BIE027 consist predominately of arable and pasture land with hedgerows and mature trees lining the boundaries. Development at sites BIE001, BIE003 and BIE027 would be visible from the village of Bierton, changing views from rural, open landscape to urban, built form.

3.4.5 Site BIE022 is characterised by arable and pasture land uses with defined hedgerow field boundaries. The site is approximately 2km from the settlement of Bierton and surrounded by open landscape. Development at BIE022 is expected to reduce the condition of the landscape by interrupting the area’s distinct historic pattern of small fields, defined by hedges (SA Objective 2).

3.4.6 Development at all sites may result in the loss of habitats of principal importance, such as mature hedgerows, and any species of principal importance associated with these. Linear hedgerows that cross BIE022 could act as a habitat corridor. Loss of these could have a negative impact on habitat connectivity across the site. Bierton Clay Pit SSSI is located to the southwest of site BIE001. Development at sites BIE001 and BIE003 may increase footfall on this designated site, resulting in degradation or loss of habitats and species present (SA Objective 3).

3.4.7 All sites are within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.4.8 All sites contain Grade 2 and/or Grade 3 agricultural land. Development at sites containing Grade 2 land will cause a loss of best and most versatile agricultural land. It is uncertain whether development at sites with Grade 3 land would lead to loss of best and most versatile land (see Table 3.1) (SA Objective 6).

3.4.9 The A418 experiences congestion at peak times, and it is likely that development in Bierton would exacerbate this. With regard to sustainable transport links, there are no train stations but a number of bus services run frequently to and from Bierton. The number 150 service connects Bierton with Aylesbury. Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard. The 150 bus service runs hourly, providing sustainable transport for residents of the area (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.4.10 Bierton has good access to health and recreation facilities. Reflexions health and leisure centre is located within 2km of the village and Aylesbury Golf Centre is just east of the main settlement. There are no GP surgeries within 800m of Bierton. The Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital is within 8km (SA Objective 11).

3.5.1 The following sites are adjacent to one or more Grade II listed buildings. Development at these sites may alter the setting of these features, which could affect the historic context of the features:

• SMD001; • SMD006; • SMD009; and • SMD012. 3.5.2 Sites SMD005 and SMD006 appear to include some ridge and furrow, which could be lost to development at these sites.

3.5.3 Four potential development sites in Stoke Mandeville are coincident with Archeological Notification Sites (ANS). Development within an ANS could adversely affect archaeological features and could diminish the archaeological significance of the site. The following sites contain an ANS (SA Objective 1):

• SMD004; • SMD006; • SMD007; and • SMD009.

3.5.4 Stoke Mandeville lies primarily in Local Character Area (LCA) 8.10: Southern Vale12. This is characterised by flat, low-lying land with large open arable fields and smaller pockets of grazing land. A network of streams and ditches is characteristic of the area, often with associated black poplars. In general, settlements are linear and on higher ground. Development at sites SMD001 and SMD006 may reduce the characteristic linear form of settlements, although the effects of this may be softened due to the proximity of these sites to Aylesbury. Whilst this is also true for site SMD009, this is considered to be an extension of Aylesbury, rather than an extension to Stoke Mandeville. SMD009 also lies partially within LCA 8.9: Haddenham Vale, which is characterised by the backdrop of the Chilterns. As with any large development to the south of Aylesbury, site SMD009 is likely to alter views from parts of the Chilterns AONB, reducing the rural nature of land to the south of town.

3.5.5 Sites SMD006, SMD008 and SMD009 may present a risk of coalescence between the village of Stoke Mandeville and Aylesbury town. Whilst the HELAA suggests a green buffer would be provided to retain the distinction between the two settlements, development at these sites may set a precedent for ‘infilling’ the gap between Aylesbury and Stoke Mandeville.

3.5.6 All sites will be visible to some extent from existing development, roads or trains on the railway line. Views to all sites from adjacent roads are likely to be somewhat limited by hedgerows, although existing hedgerows are not likely to be tall enough to completely screen development. The sites with the highest visual impact are likely to be those through which the Round Aylesbury Walk, a promoted footpath, runs. The Round Aylesbury Walk runs through sites SMD006, SMD007, SMD008 and SMD009 (SA Objective 2).

3.5.7 The land around Stoke Mandeville is primarily agricultural, which is not considered to have high biodiversity value. Most sites contain hedgerows either within them or as a boundary feature. Whilst hedgerows can be an important biodiversity feature, those in Stoke Mandeville appear to be generally less diverse, with few trees. Cumulative effects of habitat fragmentation may be significant if multiple sites were developed in Stoke Mandeville. Due to the large size of site SMD009, loss of hedgerows is likely to lead to habitat fragmentation if this site were to be developed. Development at site SMD009 may also reduce the biodiversity value of the watercourse running through this site, due to loss of riparian habitat and possible decreasing water quality from runoff (SA Objective 3).

12 Jacobs (2008) Aylesbury Vale Landscape Character Assessment

3.5.8 The majority of Stoke Mandeville lies within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding. Site SMD009 contains minimal areas of Flood Zones 2 and 3, along the watercourse onsite. Sites SMD004, SMD007 and SMD008 include areas at high risk of surface water flooding. Development in certain parts of these sites may be at high risk of flooding. Development adjacent to high flood risk areas may also increase risk of flooding by introducing impermeable, man-made surfaces, which may reduce the drainage ability of the land.

3.5.9 In terms of green infrastructure (GI), development of site SMD011 would lead to a loss of playing fields and recreational facilities on the edge of Aylesbury (SA Objectives 5 and 11).

3.5.10 Sites SMD004, SMD005, SMD007 and SMD012 contain areas of Grade 2 agricultural land, which is considered to be best and most versatile. Development at these sites would lead to a loss of this resource. All other Stoke Mandeville sites consist of Grade 3 agricultural land, although it is not known if this is Grade 3a or Grade 3b. A small part of site SMD009 is underlain by brick clay deposits. Development of this site may lead to sterilisation of mineral resources (SA Objective 6).

3.5.11 The following sites are within the recommended distance (Barton, Grant and Guise, 2010) of 1km of Stoke Mandeville train station, allowing residents sustainable access to regional and national transport links:

• SMD001; • SMD002; • SMD006; • SMD007 and • SMD008. 3.5.12 The following sites are within 400m of a bus stop that is served by buses offering frequent public transport links to and from Aylesbury and further afield:

• SMD001; • SMD004; • SMD005; • SMD006; • SMD011; and • SMD012. 3.5.13 Whilst a railway line passes through site SMD009, the site itself has poor access to train stations and bus stops. As such, this site is considered to have poor access to public transport. This may lead to residents relying on travel by car and an increase in associated carbon emissions.

3.5.14 The A413 that runs south from Aylesbury experiences high levels of congestion. Development in the eastern parts of Stoke Mandeville could contribute to increasing congestion on this road (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.5.15 Stoke Mandeville contains a play area and playing pitches next to the Parish Council offices on Eskdale Road. These are expected to be accessible from the following sites:

• SMD001; • SMD002; • SMD006; and • SMD008 3.5.16 Access to healthcare is limited from all sites in Stoke Mandeville, as all are further than 1km from a GP surgery. Stoke Mandeville hospital is within 2.5km of all sites.

3.5.17 Site SMD011 consists of the Bucks County Council Sports and Social Club and associated sports pitches. The HELAA states that loss of a community facility with no evidence it is not in use or not needed is unacceptable, but that this site could provide 100 dwellings at a density of 35 dwellings per hectare. In order to provide such a quantum of housing at this density may necessitate development of the sports club. This would lead to a loss of recreational opportunities in the area, which may discourage residents from taking part in sport and other exercise (SA Objective 11).

3.6.1 The Grade II listed Manor Farm House is located within site STO011. Development may lead to adverse effects on this building and / or its setting. Site STO011 is opposite the Grade II listed Malthouse Willow Barn and adjacent to Stone conservation area.

3.6.2 Site STO016 is adjacent to Hartwell conservation area and Hartwell House, a Grade II* registered park and garden. The site is adjacent to a number of Grade II listed buildings, mostly associated with Hartwell House. Development of this site is likely to affect the settings of these features. There appears to be some areas of ridge and furrow on this site, which would be lost to development. Development of this site may also lead to a loss of archaeological features associated with an ANS that lies within site STO016 (SA Objective 1).

3.6.3 Sites STO008 and STO011 lie within LCA 9.9: A418 Ridge. This LCA is characterised by a shallow, asymmetric ridge, dispersed settlement, often along the southern face of the ridge, predominantly arable fields and long distance views north and south. Development of these sites is expected to be in keeping with local landscape character. Development at STO011 will alter views from the public footpath that runs through the site. This site is likely to be highly visible from the road and the Stone Recreation Ground.

3.6.4 Site STO016 lies within LCA 8.9: Haddenham Vale. This LCA is characterised by the setting of the Chiltern hills, meadows, open arable fields and a sparse settlement pattern. Development of this site would negatively affect the sparse settlement pattern, but this may be softened by the fact the site is an extension to Aylesbury. Due to the large size of site STO016, development may impact views from the Chilterns AONB and could lead to coalescence with Hartwell. Development at site STO016 would change the setting of the Round Aylesbury Walk at this point to an urban setting, removing views across the open countryside (SA Objective 2).

3.6.5 All sites contain potentially important habitats, which could be lost if the sites were to be developed. Sites STO008 and STO011 consist of trees, shrubs and rough grassland, which is likely to provide habitat for birds, bats and reptiles. Site STO016 consists mainly of agricultural land, but includes some potentially biodiverse hedgerows. The site also contains a small stream with tree planting alongside it, which is likely to provide habitat for aquatic and riparian species. Development may lead to loss of or degradation to these habitats and species (SA Objective 3).

3.6.6 The northeastern part of site STO016 lies within Flood Zones 2 and 3, which are at high risk of flooding. The eastern part of this site also has areas of medium to high risk of surface water flooding. Sites STO008 and STO011 lie within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.6.7 All potential development sites in Stone include some Grade 2 agricultural land. Development at any of these sites would lead to a loss of best and most versatile agricultural land. Part of site STO016 is underlain by sand and gravel deposits, which would be sterilised by development (SA Objective 6).

3.6.8 Sites STO008 and STO011 are within 400m of a bus stop that is served by high frequency services. By virtue of the size of site STO016, there are no bus stops within 800m of the centre of the site. There are a number of bus stops served by high frequency bus services near the eastern part of the site, which may be accessible from development at site STO016, depending on how the development would be linked to existing development. The western part of the site remains remote from any existing public transport links.

3.6.9 The A418 Oxford Road running southwest from Aylesbury experiences high levels of congestion, particularly from Aylesbury to Hartwell. Development at site STO016 is likely to contribute to increasing congestion on this road (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.6.10 Site STO008 is within 100m of St John’s Sports and Social Club. Future residents of the site are likely to benefit from access to a local social facility. Site STO011 is adjacent to Stone Recreation ground, giving residents good access to existing recreational facilities. Site STO016 is opposite Fairford Leys Football pitches, although it is likely to be difficult for residents in the south of this site to access this facility. If the entirety of site STO016 was developed its large size may necessitate provision of additional recreation facilities.

3.6.11 Whilst all sites are within 5km of a hospital, only site STO016 is within 800m of a GP surgery. As such, access to healthcare is likely to be limited from sites STO008 and STO011 (SA Objective 11).

3.7.1 Development at WTV017 may affect the setting of the listed building located to the south of this site. Development at WTV018 has the potential to impact the setting of listed buildings located adjacent to the north of this site along the Grand Union Canal. Development at WTV019 has the potential to affect the setting of a listed building located to the west of this site.

3.7.2 Two ANS’ lie within site WTV022. Site WTV022 includes some fields with good examples of ridge and furrow, which may be linked to the ANS. Ridge and furrow also appears to be present on site WTV019. Development at this site could lead to loss of archaeological finds and the historic environment associated with these features (SA Objective 1).

3.7.3 Weston Turville lies within LCA 8.10: Southern Vale. This LCA is characterised by a flat landscape in the north, rising gently to a rolling land form in the south, streams and ditches with belts of black poplar and large arable fields and pockets of grazing land. Development and communication corridors interrupt landscape continuity. A stream runs along the boundary of site WTV018 and the Westend Ditch runs through part of site WTV022. Development may lead to loss of the setting of these watercourses and their associated vegetation, which may remove a key characteristic of the local landscape.

3.7.4 Large developments, such as WTV022 and possibly WTV018 are likely to alter views from the Chilterns AONB and may affect the setting of this national landscape designation.

3.7.5 The Round Aylesbury Walk runs through site WTV022 and the Grand Union Canal Walk runs adjacent to site WTV018. The setting of, and views from, these routes will change to become more urban. This effect may be softened by the fact the Grand Union Canal Walk runs into Aylesbury. The Round Aylesbury Walk is designed as a route running outside the urban area of Aylesbury, so this aspect would be lost if the route were to become surrounded by development (SA Objective 2).

3.7.6 Moat Meadows, The Vatches Local Wildlife Site (LWS) is located to the south of WTV018 and to the east of WTV022 and may be affected by development at these sites, through urban edge effects13. Weston Turville Reservoir (SSSI) is located to the south east of WTV003, but due to the distance from the site it is not likely to be affected by development.

3.7.7 Sites WTV003, WTV017, WTV021 and WTV022 contain mature hedgerows with trees, which are likely to have good biodiversity value. Site WTV017 also contains rough grassland and scrub, which could provide habitat for European protected species such as reptiles. Site WTV021 also contains groups of trees, loss of which could lead to loss of biodiversity and species such as bats and birds (SA Objective 3).

3.7.8 The A41 running east has been identified as experiencing high volumes of traffic. Development at sites WTV018 and WTV022 would be likely to add to traffic on this road, leading to congestion and an increase in greenhouse gases associated with vehicular transport (SA Objective 4).

3.7.9 WTV19 lies partially within Flood Zone 2. The following sites lie partially within Flood Zones 2 and 3, which is land at high risk of flooding:

• WTV017; • WTV018; and • WTV022. 3.7.10 The HELAA states that only the eastern part of WTV018, away from Flood Zone 3, would be suitable for development. The remainder of the site contains areas of Flood Zone 2, thus development in the east of this site may be at risk of flooding.

3.7.11 There is a medium risk of surface water flooding along the canal in site WTV018. Development at these sites may exacerbate the risk of surface water flooding by replacing permeable fields with impermeable manmade surfaces (SA Objective 5).

13 Urban edge effects could include trespassing, littering, noise and light disturbance and predation by pets, such as cats.

3.7.12 Site WTV003 consists of Grade 3 agricultural land. It is uncertain whether development at this site would lead to loss of best and most versatile agricultural land. Sites WTV019, WTV021 and WTV022 include areas of Grade 3a agricultural land. Development at these sites would result in a loss of best and most versatile agricultural land (SA Objective 6).

3.7.13 The southeastern end of Site WTV022 is within 1km from Stoke Mandeville train station, but due to the large size of the site, some areas of this site may be over 2.5km away. Other potential development sites in Weston Turville lie further than 1km from a train station.

3.7.14 Sites WTV003, WTV017 and WTV019 all lie within 400m of a bus stop that is served by frequent services. Due to their large size of sites WTV018 and WTV022, these only partially lie within 400m of an existing bus stop. As such, it may be hard to access public transport from some parts of these sites.

3.7.15 Weston Turville lies between the Wendover Road (A413) and the A41, both of which experience high levels of congestion. Development in Weston Turville is likely to increase congestion on these roads, the effect of which will be greater for large sites (SA Objective 9).

3.7.16 The nearest leisure centre is further than 2km from Weston Turville. Bedgrove Park lies to the north of site WTV022, although access to this is limited from other sites. The Weston Turville Golf Club lies to the south and east of site WTV022, but this is not considered accessible to all. Opportunities for recreation are likely to be limited from most sites in Weston Turville.

3.7.17 All potential development sites in Weston Turville are within 8km of a hospital. None of the sites in Weston Turville are within 800m of a GP surgery. As a result, access to healthcare is limited from potential development sites in Weston Turville (SA Objective 11).

3.7.18 Sites surrounding the main built up area of Aston Clinton are likely to affect the setting of a number of listed buildings. The Grade II* listed Church of St Michael and All Angels, and the Church of All Saints are located in close proximity to AST007 and AST024. Development at these sites may affect the settings of these historic features. There also appears to be some ridge and furrow at sites AST024 and AST007, which would be lost to development at these sites (SA Objective 1).

3.7.19 The Chilterns AONB lies to the southeast of the settlement. Development of larger sites, namely site AST024, may affect the setting of the AONB.

3.7.20 The majority of Aston Clinton is within LCA 8.10: Southern Vale. One of the distinctive features of this LCT is extensive linear settlement pattern along roads. AST007 is in keeping with the settlement pattern of Aston Clinton. AST031 and AST033 would extend the linear residential pattern along Weston Road out to the east. All sites are made up of predominately arable fields, lined by hedgerows. AST024 borders the A41 to the west and residential properties off of Brook Street to the east. AST024, AST031 and AST033 are likely to be visible from existing development and roads surrounding the sites, changing views from rural to edge of urban. AST007 is screened at all sides by hedgerows with trees, restricting visibility from adjacent roads and residential properties (SA Objective 2).

3.7.21 There are a number of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) to the south and east of Aston Clinton, with the closest being Aston Clinton Ragpits and Tring Reservoirs. There are footpaths adjacent to each of these SSSIs and development may result in increased recreational use of these routes and in turn potentially increased disturbance.

3.7.22 Development at all sites has potential to lead to some loss of habitat and associated species, including BAP species. Sites AST024, AST031 and AST033 contain mature trees and hedges, which the HELAA states should be retained. Loss of hedgerows through the middle of AST007 could result in loss of a key habitat corridor (SA Objective 3).

3.7.23 All sites are within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding. Site AST024 contains areas of surface water flooding, particularly in the north. Along the stream, sites AST031 and AST033 also contain areas of high risk of surface water flooding. Development at these sites may also increase risk of flooding by introducing impermeable, man-made surfaces, which may reduce the drainage ability of the land. (SA Objective 5).

3.7.24 All sites contain Grade 3 agricultural land. It is unknown whether this is Grade 3a or Grade 3b land. As such it is uncertain whether development would lead to loss of best and most versatile land (SA Objective 6).

3.7.25 The A41, which runs north of the settlement, experiences high levels of congestion at peak times. With regard to sustainable transport networks, there is no train station located within 1km of the centre of Aston Clinton, although two bus routes service the area. The number 61 connects Aston Clinton to Dunstable and Ivinghoe whilst the number 164 connects Aston Clinton to Leighton Buzzard. These services run less than hourly Monday to Saturday (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.7.26 There is no leisure centre located within 2km of the centre of the settlement. Aston Clinton Park and Aylesbury Rugby Football Club are located to the south of the settlement area, giving residents opportunities for outdoor recreation. Aston Clinton has good access to health facilities; Stoke Mandeville Hospital is within 8km and Rothschild House Surgery is within 800m of all the potential development sites (SA Objective 11).

3.8.1 Site BUC051 is next to Radclive, a village dominated by Radclive Manor. Radclive is designated as a conservation area and includes many listed buildings, including the Grade I listed Church of St John. The HELAA suggests that development would be confined to the northeastern part of site BUC051, but there is a possibility that any development at this site could impact the setting of Radclive and its historic features. Parts of site BUC051 are located within 500m of the Grade I listed Stowe Historic Park and Garden, particularly Stowe Avenue, which leads up to the main grounds. Development at site BUC051 could negatively affect the setting of this feature. In addition, site BUC051 contains an ANS. Development on this site could lead to loss of archaeological features, potentially impacting the historic environment of Buckingham.

3.8.2 Site BUC003 is almost adjacent to the Buckingham conservation area. Development at this site may affect the setting of this historic area (SA Objective 1).

3.8.3 Buckingham was excluded from the Aylesbury Vale Landscape Character Assessment14 as it is an urban area, but those sites on the outskirts of the town lie primarily within LCA 4.3: Gawcott Ridge. This includes sites BUC025 and BUC046. Gawcott Ridge is characterised by high ground that is flat and open, with open views. Typical features include mixed farming with pony paddocks and strong hedgerows. Whilst development of any site in LCA 4.3 would lead to loss of farmland, overall effects on the character type are considered negligible.

3.8.4 Site BUC043 lies within LCA 2.4: Stowe Park Approaches. This LCA is characterised by undulating landform, Stowe Avenue, mixed agriculture and straight roads. Development at site BUC043 is not expected to affect these characteristics.

14 Jacobs (2008) Aylesbury Vale Landscape Character Assessment

3.8.5 BUC051 lies within LCA 2.7: Upper Great Ouse Valley. Key characteristics include a meandering river with bankside vegetation and historic river meadows, steep valley sides and diverse hedgerows. Development of site BUC051 may affect the setting of the meandering River Great Ouse and could lead to a loss of associated vegetation, which could remove some key features of LCA 2.7.

3.8.6 Site BUC003 currently consists of some trees and overgrown vegetation, with a metal fence to prevent trespassing. Development may result in better maintenance of this site and development would constitute infilling a site surrounded by development.

3.8.7 Site BUC025 would be visible from the A421 and the footpath that runs through the north of the site. This site is disconnected from the town and the A421 may present a barrier to integrating development with the town.

3.8.8 Site BUC046 is likely to be visible from the road and surrounding development. This site is surrounded by development (the HELAA states only the northern part of site BUC046 will be developed) and already within an urban context, so landscape impacts are expected to be negligible.

3.8.9 Site BUC051 is a large, open site that is visible from the A421 and is also likely to be visible from existing development, the Bernwood Jubilee Way and from hills and roads to the south. Site BUC051 lies within a Local Landscape Area and may also be visible from Stowe Park. Development of this site may represent an extension to Buckingham that is out of character with its typically nucleated form (SA Objective 2).

3.8.10 BUC003 and BUC046 have high biodiversity potential due to the trees, scrub and tall, ruderal vegetation on site. These could provide habitats for bats, birds, reptiles and invertebrates, which would be lost if the site were developed. BUC051 contains mature hedgerows and wooded areas alongside the River Great Ouse. Development may lead to loss of hedgerows and riparian habitats, which could lead to a loss of biodiversity (SA Objectives 3).

3.8.11 Site BUC051 includes areas of Flood Zones 2 and 3 along the river, and areas at high risk of surface water flooding. The HELAA suggests that development will be restricted to Flood Zone 1, although there is an area at high risk of surface water flooding in the northeastern part of the site. Site BUC025 contains an area at high risk of surface water flooding in the north of the site. Development at these sites may be at high risk of flooding and may contribute to increasing the risk of flooding by reducing the drainage ability of the land. The riverside vegetation in site BUC051 may be an important green infrastructure (GI) feature. Loss of GI to development may reduce the ability of the area to adapt to future effects of climate change, such as increase flood risk and hotter summers (SA Objective 5).

3.8.12 All sites except BUC003 include best and most versatile agricultural land (Grade 3a). Development at these sites would lead to loss of this resource.

3.8.13 Site BUC043 contains a small area of sand and gravel deposits, which would be sterilised by development at this site. Site BUC051 contains deposits of sand and gravel and of limestone. Development of this site would result in the sterilisation of mineral resources. Site BUC046 contains small deposits of sand and gravel in the south. As the HELAA states that development will be restricted to the north of this site, it is unknown if these deposits would be sterilised by development (SA Objective 6).

3.8.14 Site visits concluded that the centre of Buckingham experiences high volumes of traffic. Any additional development in and around Buckingham is likely to exacerbate this and may lead to increased congestion. Buckingham does not have a train station and only sites BUC003 and BUC043 are within 400m of a high frequency bus stop. As such, access to sustainable modes of transport is likely to be limited for residents at other potential development sites in Buckingham. This may lead to residents relying on car travel, which may increase congestion and associated carbon emissions (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.8.15 All sites are within 2km of the Swan Pool and Leisure Centre, which is the main centre for recreation in Buckingham. All sites are within 2km of the Buckingham Community Hospital. This is a specialist hospital that provides care after being discharged from hospital, so does not provide the same services as a regular hospital. Only sites BUC003 and BUC043 are within 800m of a GP surgery; access to healthcare is likely to be limited from other sites in Buckingham (SA Objective 11).

3.9.1 Cheddington is located within LCA 10.1: Cheddington Hills, which is almost entirely designated as a Local Landscape Area. The landscape in this area is considered to be highly sensitive. The open hills create a distinct character, dominated by an equally distinctive landform15. All sites are used predominately for pasture, with some hedgerows and trees. Visibility increases with elevation above the surrounding Vale landscape. Public Rights of Way (PRoW) cross CHE001 to the northwest.

3.9.2 CHE001 is proposed as an extension of the main settlement area, with the Cheddington train line following the site to the northeast. Hedgerows line CHE001 to the northeast, keeping visibility from the train line low. Adjacent roads and residential properties are partially screened from the site by hedgerows and trees, with the exception of properties at, and to the south of, Croft Meadows. Receptors at these properties are likely to have views changed from rural to edge of urban as a result of development at CHE001 (SA Objective 2).

3.9.3 The site consists predominately of permanent pasture and some mature hedgerows. Development at the site may result in a loss of this habitat of principal importance, and any associated species (SA Objective 3).

3.9.4 Site CHE001 is within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding. The northeast corner of CHE001 is at high risk of surface water flooding. Development at this site may be at risk of flooding and may exacerbate flood risk by reducing the drainage ability of the land (SA Objective 5).

3.9.5 Site CHE001 is underlain by chalk deposits. It is likely that development at this site may sterilise important mineral resources (SA Objective 6).

3.9.6 Cheddington itself has a train station and there are a number of bus services in the area. The 164 and 167 are frequent bus services, connecting Cheddington to Aylesbury, Ivinghoe and Leighton Buzzard. The 167 stops within 400m of the site, providing residents with good access to these neighbouring centres (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.9.7 There is no leisure centre located within 2km from the centre of Cheddington. Cheddington tennis club is located to the south east of the settlement, however this is a members’ only facility. The village is further limited with regard to health facilities. There is neither a GP surgery within 800m nor a hospital within the recommended distance of 8km. The nearest hospital is Stoke Mandeville, located 10km from Cheddington. This limitation within the settlement may have a negative impact on quality of life for residents (SA Objective 11).

3.10.1 On the north west border of the site are Grade II listed Great Stone House and Swan House. Development at site CDN001 may effect the setting of these. Site CDN001 is located within Cuddington conservation area. Development at this site could lead to damage to this historic area or its setting (SA Objective 1).

3.10.2 Cuddington is located within LCA 9.9: A418 Ridge. This is characterised by a locally prominent low ridge with contrasting sides in terms of settlement, tree cover and topography. The settlement in the east transitions from a mature wooded landscape towards an open intensively arable landscape. Views are generally long distance, however CDN001 is well screened by hedgerows to the east and south. Whilst views towards site CDN001 are screened from Aylesbury Road and Spickett’s Lane, residents to the southwest are likely to have high visibility of the site. Cuddington is located within an Area of Attractive Landscape (AAL). As the site is surrounded by development and enclosed by roads, impacts on this distinctive landscape are likely to be minor.

3.10.3 Development at site CDN001 would be in keeping with the nucleated settlement pattern seen at Cuddington. Development at the site is not expected to change the setting of the area, or disrupt its distinctive character (SA Objective 2).

3.10.4 Site CND001 contains predominately rough grassland with hedgerows and shrubs, which could provide habitats for birds, bats and reptiles. Development may lead to loss or damage to these features and local loss of associated species (SA Objective 3).

3.10.5 Site CDN001 is located within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.10.6 Site CDN001 contains Grade 2 agricultural land, which is considered to be best and most versatile. Development at the site would lead to loss of this resource (SA Objective 6).

3.10.7 There is no train station located within 1km of Cuddington. Bus services in the area include the number 110, which connects Cuddington with Aylesbury and Worminghall. This service runs hourly from Monday to Friday, with less frequent services running on a Saturday. Residents may rely on travel by car, resulting in an increase in use of the already busy A418 (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.10.8 Leisure facilities are somewhat limited in Cuddington. There is no leisure centre located within 2km from the centre of the settlement, nor are there any alternative facilities for sport and recreation.

3.10.9 With regard to health facilities, there is no GP practice within the village, Thame Community Hospital is, within the recommended distance of 8km (SA Objective 11).

3.11.1 To the west and northwest of site DIN001 lie a number of Grade II listed buildings and the Dinton, Weslington, Upton and Gilbraltar conservation area. Development at this site may impact the setting of these features (SA Objective 1).

3.11.2 Dinton is located within LCA 9.9: A418 Ridge. This is characterised by a locally prominent low ridge with contrasting sides in terms of settlement, tree cover and topography. Dinton is one of the smaller dispersed settlements within this LCA, surrounded by an open arable landscape. Hedgerows may aid screening of the site from the east and west, although the site is likely to be visible from the A418. The site is characterised by gently sloping topography and predominately agricultural land use. Site DIN001 is in keeping with the dispersed linear settlement pattern seen, with no predicted negative impact on the character of the landscape. Development at site DIN001 may change the view from residential properties to the east, north and south of the site from rural to edge of urban (SA Objective 2).

3.11.3 DIN001 is made up of three agricultural fields, but includes a woodland, which is likely to have high biodiveristy value and some potentially biodiverse hedgerows lining the site. Development may lead to loss or damage to these features and local loss of associated species (SA Objective 3).

3.11.4 DIN001 is located within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.11.5 DIN001 contains Grade 2 agricultural land, which is considered to be best and most versatile. Development at the site would lead to loss of this resource (SA Objective 6).

3.11.6 There is no train station located within 1km of Dinton. Frequent bus services run in the area. The number 280 bus runs hourly every day of the week, connecting Dinton with Aylesbury, Oxford and other intervening destinations. Residents may rely on travel by car, resulting in an increase in use of the already busy A418 (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.11.7 There is no leisure centre located within 2km of the centre of Dinton. Alternative opportunities for sport and recreation in the area include a cricket ground and a children’s play area.

3.11.8 With regard to health facilities, the village is limited by having no GP surgery within 800m. Thame Community Hospital and Stoke Mandeville Hospital are within the recommended distance of 8km (SA Objective 11).

3.12.1 Drayton Parslow lies within LCA 4.11: Mursley – Soulbury Claylands. This LCA is characterised by a rolling landform, springs and streams draining off the ridge, small dispersed pockets of woodland, an exposed area due to elevation and nucleated row settlements. There is a small stream along the northern boundary of the site. Development at site DPA001 would alter such a small part of this stream’s setting that impacts on the LCA are considered negligible.

3.12.2 Whilst this site will be visible from the rear of properties in New Road, there is limited visibility to this site from the surrounding area (SA Objective 2).

3.12.3 Site DPA001 consists of rough grassland, bordered by trees and shrubs that are likely to have some biodiversity value, particularly around its boundaries. Development of this site may lead to a loss of biodiversity associated with these habitats (SA Objective 3).

3.12.4 Site DPA001 lies in Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.12.5 Site DPA001 consists of Grade 3 agricultural land. It is unknown whether development at this site will lead to loss of best and most versatile agricultural land. This site is partially underlain by sand and gravel deposits, which would be sterilised by development (SA Objective 6).

3.12.6 Site DPA001 is further than 1km from a train station and further than 400m from a bus stop that is served by high frequency services. Residents are likely to rely on car travel, due to poor public transport links. This may result in increased traffic on the roads and an associated increase in carbon emissions (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.12.7 Drayton Parslow contains a playing field and a children’s play area, although it is further than 2km from a leisure centre. Site DPA001 lies further than 8km from a hospital and further than 800m from a GP surgery. As a result, access to healthcare is considered to be limited (SA Objective 11).

3.13.1 There are a number of Grade II listed buildings adjoining site EDL021 and surrounding sites EDL002 and EDL020. Development at these sites may adversely impact the setting of these historic assets. (SA Objective 1).

3.13.2 Edlesborough is located within LCA 8.4: Pitstone - Edlesborough slopes. Edlesborough is one of the three main settlements of this LCA, all of which are surrounded by groups of pastoral fields, with arable land use in the east. Sites EDL002 and ELD020 are well related to the settlement. Site EDL020 is infilling space within the settlement, and both sites are in keeping with the pattern of development seen.

3.13.3 According to the HELAA the northern part of site EDL021 is suitable for housing. This part of the site is made up of predominately rough grassland with some sparse trees and hedgerows. This side of the site is less exposed than the southern part of the site, which is rural in character and adjacent to an Area of Attractive Landscape. Views to all sites from adjacent roads and residential properties are likely to be limited by hedgerows; although it is unlikely they will completely screen development. Where hedgerows are not present at site EDL021, development is likely to be visible from Slicketts Lane (SA Objective 2).

3.13.4 EDL020 is a previously developed site, and includes some amenity grassland, gardens attached to residential properties, and trees. The land at site EDL002 contains predominately semi-improved grassland with some sparse trees and a stream on the northern boundary. Development at sites EDL002 and EDL021 may reduce the biodiversity value of the watercourse due to loss of riparian habitat and possibly decreasing water quality as a result of runoff. The HELAA proposes that to safeguard these biodiversity assets a 10m buffer strip to the stream and buffer to the hedge on the northwest boundary will be retained. EDL021 contains some hedgerows across the site, the loss of which could lead to habitat fragmentation. (SA Objective 3).

3.13.5 Site EDL020 lies in Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding. The northern edge of site EDL002 is within Flood Zones 2 and 3, along the watercourse. The HELAA proposes that this area of EDL021 will be excluded from development with a 10m buffer. Development at these parts of the sites may be at high risk of flooding. The extent of risk is dependent on design and layout of the buffer. Site EDL021 also contains a small area of surface water flooding in the north and northwest. Development at this site is likely to be at risk of flooding and may exacerbate flood risk by reducing the drainage ability of the land (SA Objective 5).

3.13.6 Edlesborough consists of Grade 3 agricultural land. As such it is uncertain whether development would lead to loss of best and most versatile land. All sites lie within an area of chalk deposits. It is likely that development at the sites would sterilise this important mineral resource (SA Objective 6).

3.13.7 With regard to sustainable transport networks, there is no train station located within 1km of Edlesborough. Bus services are frequent: the number 61 bus service runs hourly to Aylesbury and Dunstable, and the 162 connects Edlesborough with Leighton Buzzard. All sites are within 400m of a bus stop, providing sustainable access from the sites to these surrounding towns (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.13.8 There is no leisure centre located within 2km from the centre of Edlesborough, however The Green provides open space for residents to take part in sport and other recreation activities.

3.13.9 Edlesborough surgery is located within 800m of the centre of the settlement, allowing residents good access to health care. Further health services are limited as there is no hospital within 8km (SA Objective 11).

3.13.10 Both sites GAW001 and GAW002 may affect built heritage concentrated in the centre of Gawcott. Site GAW001 may effect the setting of Grade II listed buildings located to the south west of the settlement. The Church of Holy Trinity, a Grade I listed Building, is located in the centre of Gawcott, off Church Street and GAW001 may also adversely effect the setting of this historic asset. GAW002 may effect the setting of listed buildings to the east of Gawcott.

3.13.11 Gawcott conservation area is located in the centre of the village. Development at sites GAW001 and GAW002 may impact the setting of this feature (SA Objective 1).

3.13.12 Gawcott is located within LCA 4.3: Gawcott Ridge. This relatively enclosed village is characterised by generally flat topography, with moderate visibility. The landscape is considered to be moderately sensitive, having distinct character and sense of historic continuity. This is apparent from the historic field patterns and mixed housing with pockets of cultural features.

3.13.13 GAW001 and GAW002 are characterised by rough grassland with some surrounding hedgerows and have moderate visibility from surrounding receptors, including residential properties and the Roundwood Primary school, which is adjacent to site GAW001. Public footpaths surround the village, running adjacent GAW001 to the south and west. Development at GAW001 is not likely to adversely affect the character of Gawcott, as it would be contiguous with the existing settlement. Site GAW002 is somewhat disjointed from the main settlement area and development may lead to a change in character from rural to urban (SA Objective 2).

3.13.14 There are no statutory biodiversity designations in the area. Sites GAW001 and GAW002 appear to hold little biodiversity interest and therefore are not predicted to have an adverse impact on local biodiversity (SA Objective 3).

3.13.15 Both sites GAW001 and GAW002 are within Flood Zone 1 which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.13.16 Gawcott consists of Grade 3 agricultural land. As such it is uncertain whether development would lead to loss of best and most versatile land. Gawcott is located within an area of brick clay deposits. It is likely that development at sites GAW001 and GAW002 will sterilise this important mineral resource (SA Objective 6).

3.13.17 There is no train station located within 1km of Gawcott, however the number 132 bus service connects Gawcott with Buckingham and Brackley. The 132 service runs frequently and stops within 400m of GAW001 and GAW002, providing accessibility from the sites to these surrounding towns.

3.13.18 Development at the two potential development sites in Gawcott is likely to increase traffic on the small roads running through the village. The high street may possibly experience congestion, especially where parked cars currently appear to limit the through flow traffic. GAW001 is located adjacent to Roundwood Primary School where roads are particularly constricted and traffic is already likely to be heavy during peak school times. Development at this site could result in severe congestion (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.13.19 There is no leisure centre located within 2km of the centre of Gawcott, however Richer Roper Playing Fields is located on the east of the settlement, providing residents with the opportunity for outdoor recreation. These playing fields are more accessible from GAW002 than GAW001. Further facilities and amenities in Gawcott include a village hall and The Crown public house, however there is no local convenience store.

3.13.20 With regard to health facilities, the village is limited by having no GP surgery within 800m. Buckingham Community Hospital is within 8km (SA Objective 11).

3.13.21 Whilst there are no suitable employment sites proposed within Gawcott, an employment site is currently located on the edge of the village. This could provide employment opportunities for residents of the new development (SA Objective 12).

3.14.1 An ANS lies partially within the northern part of GRA002. This site contains ridge and furrow. Development at this site may adversely affect archaeological features (SA Objective 1).

3.14.2 Site GRA002 lies within LCA 5.8: North Marston Undulating Claylands. This LCA is characterised by an undulating landform, small hills and ridges, meandering streams, pastoral land, settlement of high ground, a good hedgerow pattern and ridge and furrow. Development at this site would affect the LCA due to loss of ridge and furrow.

3.14.3 Site GRA002 is likely to be glimpsed from the road and will be visible to walkers on the footpath that crosses the site. Visibility from high sensitivity receptors is likely to be limited (SA Objective 2).

3.14.4 Granborough lies within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.14.5 Site GRA002 consists of Grade 3 agricultural land. It is not known whether development of this site will lead to loss of best and most versatile land (SA Objective 6).

3.14.6 Site GRA002 is further than 2km from a train station and further than 400m from a bus stop served by frequent services. Residents of this site are likely to rely on car travel, which is expected to increase road traffic and lead to increased carbon emissions (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.14.7 Granborough lacks any recreational facilities or GP surgeries. There are no hospitals within 8km of the site. Access to recreation and healthcare from site GRA002 is likely to be limited (SA Objective 11).

3.15.1 All proposed sites surround the main built up area to the north, east and south, and are likely to affect the setting of a number of Grade II listed buildings in the centre of the settlement.

3.15.2 Sites GHW016 and GHW007 are located partially within an ANS. Development at these sites could result in partial loss of these important features. Site GHW013 is within close proximity of the ANS and Great Horwood conservation area. Development at all sites could have a negative impact on the setting of the Great Horwood Conservation Area (SA Objective 1).

3.15.3 Great Horwood is located within LCA 4.8: Horwood Claylands. The area holds a rural character, depicted by a gently sloping topography, with a network of open fields surrounding the village. The village holds a historic continuity, concentrated with timber-framed and brick style buildings and a network of narrow roads and lanes. All sites are in keeping with the existing nucleated settlement pattern.

3.15.4 The LCA (2008) describes landscape sensitivity in Gawcott as moderate, with sites consisting predominately of open pastoral fields. Site GHW007 is within the current settlement area, off Willow Road. This site is previously developed and screened to the south and west by hedgerows and trees. Sites GHW013 and GHW016 are likely to be visible from surrounding receptors, changing the character of the landscape from rural to edge of urban. All sites have the potential to impact the character of the village if design is not in keeping with its distinctive traditional arrangement (SA Objective 2).

3.15.5 Sites GHW016 and GWH013 are made up predominately of pasture with hedgerows lining the site. The HELAA states that surrounding hedgerows should be retained. Site GHW007 includes the gardens of properties off Willow Road, rough grassland and trees. Development of these sites may result in the loss of habitats of principal importance and any species associated with them (SA Objective 3).

3.15.6 All sites are within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.15.7 Great Horwood consists of Grade 3 agricultural land. As such it is uncertain whether development would lead to loss of best and most versatile land. Great Horwood is located within an area of sand and clay deposits. It is likely that development at the proposed development sites will sterilise this important mineral resource (SA Objective 6).

3.15.8 Development at Great Horwood is likely to increase traffic on the small roads through the village and the B4033 running out to the A421. Development at these sites could result in substantially increased traffic in the village. The A421 is highlighted in the Buckinghamshire Local Transport Plan 2011-201616 as a key road within the strategic highway network, which is likely to experience increased traffic as a result of development. The Local Transport Plan (2011) proposes traffic management systems on the A421 to accommodate any increase in travel demand.

3.15.9 There is no train station located within 1km of Great Horwood, and bus services are infrequent. The 54B bus service stops within 400m of sites GHW016 and GHW013, connecting Great Horwood with Winslow and Whaddon, however these facilities are not sufficient to encourage use of sustainable transport in the area (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.15.10 There is no leisure centre located within 2km of the centre of Great Horwood. Whilst recreational facilities for residents are limited, there are play areas situated on the village edge, which could facilitate sporting activities.

3.15.11 There is no GP surgery in the village. Buckingham Community Hospital is within 8km of the village (SA Objective 11).

3.15.12 Whilst there are no potential employment sites identified within Gawcott, Greenway Business Park is currently located on the southern edge of the village. This could provide employment opportunities for residents of the new development (SA Objective 12).

3.16.1 Site GUW004 is located partially within Grendon Underwood conservation area, which may be adversely affected by development. Development at sites GUW008 and GUW010, locations outside of the conservation area, may also impact the setting of this feature (SA Objective 1).

3.16.2 Grendon Underwood is located within LCA 7.4: Kingswood Wooded Farmland. The condition of the landscape is considered to be good; sparsely settled and slightly remote in character. The settlement of Grendon Underwood is linear in layout, with one main developed street and no strong village centre. Buildings are predominantly modern, brick and 60s style with some older, thatched cottages and converted barns interspersed. All potential development sites are in keeping with the linear settlement arrangement, and do not appear to adversely impact the character of the area.

3.16.3 All sites are either fully or partially screened by hedgerows and trees, keeping visibility low for surrounding residential properties. A patch of woodland joins site GUW008 from the northeast, and buildings are present to the south, providing further screening (SA Objective 2).

3.16.4 Development at all sites may lead to loss of habitats such as rough grassland, trees and mature hedgerows, which are a habitat of principal importance. To the north of site GUW008 is a patch of mature trees, which may be associated with a number of important species, and may also be of value for habitat connectivity. It is stated in HELAA that there should be no loss of these trees. There is a pond located in the northeast corner of site GUW010. Adverse impacts on this feature could also lead to loss of habitat of principal importance and any associated species (SA Objective 3).

3.16.5 All sites are within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.16.6 Grendon Underwood consists of Grade 3 agricultural land. As such it is uncertain whether development would lead to loss of best and most versatile land (SA Objective 6).

3.16.7 There is no train station located within 1km of Grendon Underwood, however bus services are accessible. The number 16/17 bus service runs frequently Monday to Friday, offering residents sustainable transport to larger centres such as Buckingham and Bicester (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.16.8 Recreational facilities in Grendon Underwood are limited: there are no sports facilities in the village, nor is there a leisure centre within 2km. With regard to health facilities, the village is limited by having no GP surgery within 800m. Buckingham Hospital is, however, within the recommended distance of 8km (SA Objective 11).

3.17.1 A cluster of Grade II and II* listed buildings is located in the centre of Haddenham, including the Parish Church of St Mary. Site HAD001 is located in close proximity to these historic assets. There is also a Scheduled Ancient Monment (SAM) to the north of HAD007. Development at these sites may have an adverse impact on the setting of these historic features.

3.17.2 Sites HAD001 and HAD007 are located within Haddenham conservation area and an ANS. Development at these sites may affect the setting of the conservation area or adversely affect archaeological features (SA Objective 1).

3.17.3 All sites are located within LCA 8.9: A418 Haddenham Vale. These sites are located at the southern ridge of the LCA, merging with the flat Vale landscape seen in LCA 8.9. The landscape is of moderate sensitivity, with moderate visibility, as seen at site HAD007. Site HAD007 is not well- screened, unlike HAD016 and HAD001, which are lined with mature hedgerows and trees.

3.17.4 There is an AAL located to the north of Haddenham, which may be affected by development at HAD007. The outer Aylesbury Ring PROW crosses Haddenham, running through HAD007. Views from, and the setting of, this route are likely to change as a result of development (SA Objective 2).

3.17.5 There are no biodiversity designations within close proximity of the sites. Snakemoor LNR is located to the west of settlement. Whilst development may not directly impact the LNR, future residents of the developments may increase footfall on the several linked footpaths associated with the LNR. Site HAD007 appears to be predominately made up of arable fields with low biodiversity value. Sites HAD001 and HAD016 include rough grassland, mature hedgerows and trees. Development at these sites may involve the removal of habitats of principal importance and any associated species (SA Objective 3).

3.17.6 All sites are within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.17.7 All sites consist of Grade 3a or Grade 2 agricultural land. This is considered to be best and most versatile, and therefore development is likely to lead to loss of this resource (SA Objective 6).

3.17.8 Haddenham and Thame Parkway train station is within 1km of Haddesdon. Further sustainable transport options for residents include walking and cycling opportunities via the PRoW network, and bus services. The number 111 bus service, which runs frequently to Aylesbury and Thame, stops in the centre of Haddenham. The number 112 service is also within close proximity to the sites, but runs infrequently (Wednesday / Friday only) to Upper Winchendon and Aylesbury (SA Objective 4 and 9).

3.17.9 There is no leisure centre located within 2km of the centre of Haddenham. Haddenham Youth FC is located to the east of the settlement. This provides sports facilities for club members, but recreational opportunities for the general public is limited in Haddenham.

3.17.10 Health facilities are available and accessible within Haddenham. Haddenham medical centre is located within 800m of the centre of the settlement, and Thame community hospital is within 8km (SA Objective 11).

3.18.1 Cultural Heritage in Long Crendon includes a number of Grade II listed buildings, and the Grade I listed Church of St Mary. Development at LCD011 may impact the setting of the church. The extent of this impact will depend on the layout and design of the development (SA Objective 1).

3.18.2 Long Crendon is located within LCA 9.8: Chilton Ridge, which is designated as an AAL. The LCA (2008) states the landscape has a distinct character and is of good quality, in a comparatively settled agricultural area. Site LCD011 is made up predominately of pasture, with some hedgerows lining the site. To the east of the site is Long Crendon School. The site is likely to be visible from the school, however development is not expected to have a negative impact on these receptors.

3.18.3 The LCA (2008) identifies the landscape as being of moderate sensitivity. Development at site LCD011 would be in keeping with the existing settlement pattern of Long Crendon, although views from residential properties to the west and south are likely to change from rural to edge of urban (SA Objective 2).

3.18.4 There are no statutory biodiversity designations located close to site LCD011. Habitats present are predominately pastoral farmland but some trees and hedgerows line the site. Development is not exptected to have an adverse impact on biodiversity in the area (SA Objective 3).

3.18.5 Site LCD011 is located within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.18.6 Site LCD011 contains Grade 2 agricultural land, which is considered to be best and most versatile. Development at the site would lead to loss of this resource (SA Objective 6).

3.18.7 There is no train station located within 1km of Long Crendon. Bus services are available in the village, providing residents with access to larger centres. The 110 and 111 services connect Long Crendon to Thame, Brill and Aylesbury. Both services are within 400m of LCD011, but run infrequently (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.18.8 Sports and recreational facilities in the area are limited, with no leisure centre located within 2km of the settlement centre. Health facilities are accessible from the site. Long Crendon Surgery is within 800m of site LCD011 and Thame Community Hospital is within 8km (SA Objective 11).

3.19.1 Development at MM0004 may impact the setting of Maids Moreton conservation area which is located to the south west of the site. There is also an ANS loated to the south west of the site. Development at MMO004 may also impact the setting of this feature (SA Objective 1)

3.19.2 Maids Moreton is located within LCA 1.7: Maids Moreton Plateau. The landscape is characterised by its almost flat nature and strong hedgerow patterns creating a unified landscape, particularly close to the village of Maids Moreton. Site MMO004 is made up of rough grassland with hedgerows lining the site to the north and east and allotments and gardens located on the edge of the site to the southwest. Development may alter views from the public footpath that crosses the site. Hedges screen the site from the A413 to the east, however the site is likely to be visible from residential and commercial properties adjacent to the south (SA Objective 2).

3.19.3 Site MMO004 is within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.19.4 Site MMO004 contains Grade 3b agricultural land, which is not considered to be best and most versatile. The site is underlain by sand and gravel deposits, which would be sterilised by development (SA Objective 6).

3.19.5 With regard to sustainable transport networks surrounding the village, there are no train stations within 1km. The number 151 bus service stops within 400m of site MMO004. This service runs frequently, Monday to Friday, from Akley to Buckingham via Thornborough. The A413 is immediately to the east of the site, connecting Maids Moreton to surrounding villages and larger centres such as Buckingham. If residents were to depend on cars for travel this may result in congestion in the area. This is likely to be on the A413 and on smaller roads, such as the Main Street, running through the village itself (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.19.6 There is no leisure centre located within 2km of the centre of Maids Moreton. Buckingham Union Football Club, located to the west of the main settlement, offers recreational facilities to club members. For publically accessible recreational facilities there are play areas associated with the new estate just west of Moreton road.

3.19.7 Health facilities in the village are limited as there is not a GP surgery within 800m. Buckingham Hospital is within the recommended distance of 8km (SA Objective 11).

Marsh Gibbon conservation area adjoins site MGB005 to the east. Development at these sites may impact the settings of these historic assets (SA Objective 1).

3.20.2 Marsh Gibbon is located within LCA 8.1: Marsh Gibbon Vale. The landscape is characterised by its almost flat nature and strong hedgerow pattern, made up of predominately pastoral fields surrounding the main settlement area of Marsh Gibbon. The tranquil landscape17 is cut through by the A41 to the south of the village. The impact of this, however, is described by the LCA (2008) as localised, with the functional integrity of the landscape remaining strong.

3.20.3 MGB003 is an arable field, enclosed entirely by residential development. MGB005 is made up predominately of rough grassland with hedgerows, trees and scrub. MGB005 is less screened than MGB003, however both contain hedgerows and trees restricting visibility from adjacent roads and residential properties (SA Objective 2).

3.20.4 There are no statutory or non statutory biodiversity designations in the area. Site MGB003 has potential to lead to some loss of habitat such as trees, scrub and hedgerows (SA Objective 3).

3.20.5 Both sites are within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.20.6 Marsh Gibbon contains brick clay deposits. It is likely that development at sites will sterilise this important mineral resource (SA Objective 6).

3.20.7 The Buckinghamshire Local Transport Plan 2011-201618 highlights the A41 as a congested road, which is reiterated in the LCA description for the village, where congestion is described as visually intrusive for the area. The A41 is the main road connecting Marsh Gibbon to larger settlements such as Bicester. It is likely that development will result in increased traffic on the A41, leading to congestion and an increase in greenhouse gases associated with vehicular transport (SA Objective 4).

3.20.8 It is predicted that single-track roads in the centre of Marsh Gibbon are likely to experience congestion as a result of proposed development. There are a number of bus services within Marsh Gibbon; the number 16 runs frequently between Marsh Gibbon, Aylesbury and Bicester. This provides residents with good access to larger settlements offering a wider range of amenities and facilities (SA Objective 9).

3.20.9 Recreational facilities in Marsh Gibbon are limited, with no leisure centre located within 2km of the village centre. With regard to health facilities, the village is limited by having no GP surgery within 800m. Bicester Community Hospital is within 8km of the village (SA Objective 11).

3.21.2 Marsworth is located within LCA 10.3: Marsworth and Pitstone Chalk Quarries. The landscape is characterised by shallow sloping chalk foothills from south to north, with Marsworth in the west. Site MAR003 is made up of three arable fields in the open countryside. The site would be an extension of the nucleated settlement pattern seen in Marsworth, changing the landscape character from open rural to edge of urban (SA Objective 2).

3.21.3 Site MAR003 is made up of predominately agricultural land, which is not considered to be of high biodiversity value. Hedgerows are present along the boundary of the site, which are a habitat of principal importance. Development could lead to loss of or degradation, to this habitat and any associated species (SA Objective 3).

3.21.4 MAR003 is located within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.21.5 MAR003 contains Grade 2 agricultural land, which is considered to be best and most versatile. Development at the site would lead to loss of this resource. MAR003 is located within an area of chalk deposits. It is likely that development at the site will sterilise this resource (SA Objective 6).

3.21.6 There is no train station located within 1km of Marsworth. The number 61 bus service is frequent and within 400m of the site. The 61 runs hourly, connecting Marsworth with Aylesbury and Dunstable. Less frequent is the number 164, which runs from Aylesbury to Leighton Buzzard, and other intervening destinations (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.21.7 Recreation and health facilities are limited in Marsworth. There is no leisure centre within 2km and a lack of alternative sports and recreation facilities close by. The village is not within 800m of a GP surgery or 8km of a hospital, limiting residents’ access to essential health care.

3.22.2 Nash lies within LCA 4.6: A421 Ridge. The key characteristics of this LCA include a ridge running east to west, sparse settlement, small, dispersed copses, mixed farmland and parliamentary enclosure fields. The village of Nash is listed as a distinctive feature of this LCA. Development at site NSH003 is not expected to affect any of these features. Views toward this site from the surrounding area are limited. Site NSH003 lies adjacent to a Local Landscape Area (LLA)19. Development at this site may lead to alteration of this locally designated landscape (SA Objective 2).

3.22.3 There is a hedgerow, including trees, along the western boundary of site NSH003. This may provide habitat and a corridor for local wildlife. Removal of this hedgerow may result in a loss of biodiversity at the site (SA Objective 3).

3.22.4 Site NSH003 lies within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.22.5 Site NSH003 is located within an area of Grade 3 agricultural land. It is unknown whether development at this site will lead to loss of best and most versatile agricultural land (SA Objective 6).

3.22.6 There are no train stations within 1km of Nash. No frequent bus services stop in the village, therefore access to public transport is limited. As residents of Nash are likely to rely on travel by car, development at NSH003 may lead to an increase in traffic and associated greenhouse gas emissions (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.23.1 NLV008 is adjacent to the Grade II listed 8 Bletchley Road and the Newton Longville conservation area. Development may negatively affect the settings of these features. Sites NLV005 and NLV008 contain areas of ridge and furrow. There are a number of ANS’ located within site NLV001 and an ANS lies within site NLV023. Development at these sites could lead to a loss of archaeological features and degradation of the historic environment (SA Objective 1).

3.23.2 Newton Longville lies within LCA 4.9: Newton Longville - Stoke Hammond Claylands. This LCA is characterised by gently undulating to rolling landform, a nucleated settlement pattern and parliamentary enclosures with thorn hedges. The disused railway northwest of Newton Longville is a distinctive feature. Development at site NLV001 may alter the nucleated settlement pattern of Newton Longville, although this may be softened by the fact it could be seen as an extension to Bletchley, rather than part of Newton Longville. In addition, this site would likely have a negative effect on the landscape due to its large size and limited connectivity to existing settlements. Such a large development may set a precedent for coalescence of Bletchley and Newton Longville.

3.23.3 The Milton Keynes Boundary Walk runs through sites NLV001 and NLV008. Views from this PRoW would be altered from rural to urban or edge of urban by development at these sites (SA Objective 2).

3.23.4 Sites NLV001 and NLV005 contain hedgerows, which could have high biodiversity value. Sites NLV001 and NLV023 contain groups of trees, which could provide habitat for a number of species including bats and birds. Loss of these features could result in a loss of biodiversity (SA Objective 3).

3.23.5 All sites in Newton Longville lie within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding from rivers and sea. Site NLV001 contains areas at high risk of surface water flooding in the south and northwest. Development at this site may be at risk of flooding and may exacerbate flood risk through development of impermeable surfaces (SA Objective 5).

3.23.6 Site NLV001 contains areas of Grade 3a agricultural land. Development at this site would lead to a loss of best and most versatile agricultural land. Development at sites NLV005 and NLV008 would lead to loss of Grade 3 agricultural land, but it is not known if this is Grade 3a or 3b (SA Objective 6).

3.23.7 There is no train station within 1km of Newton Longville and there are no frequent bus services that stop within 400m of any site. This is likely to result in residents of Newton Longville relying on car travel (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.23.8 There are playing fields and allotments opposite site NLV005. Other sites have more limited access to recreational facilities. Milton Keynes Hospital is within 8km of Newton Longville, but there are no GP surgeries within 800m of any site. As a result, residents of development in Newton Longville are likely to have poor access to healthcare (SA Objective 11).

3.24.1 Site EDL017 is located within LCA 8.4: Pitstone – Edlesborough Slopes. This LCA is characterised by a network of improved drains and streams, an irregular field pattern and mixed land use. A distinctive feature of this LCA is fragmented ribbon development along the A4146 Leighton Road. Development at EDL017 would be in keeping with local character. Development at this site would not be highly visible from any sensitive receptors (SA Objective 2).

3.24.2 Site EDL017 includes areas of trees and shrubs, which may have high biodiversity value. Loss of these features could result in a local loss of associated species, including birds and bats (SA Objective 3).

3.24.3 Northall lies within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.24.4 Site EDL017 consists of Grade 3 agricultural land, although it is not known in this is Grade 3a or 3b. This site is underlain by chalk deposits. Development at EDL017 may lead to sterilisation of these resources (SA Objective 6).

3.24.5 Site EDL017 is located further than 1km from a train station and further than 400m from a bus stop that is served by high frequency services. As such, residents are likely to rely on car transport. New development in this village is likely to increase the number of cars on the road and may lead to associated increases in carbon emissions (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.24.6 There are limited opportunities for leisure and recreation in Northall. There are no hospitals within 8km of Northall and no GP surgeries within 800m. Access to recreation and health services in Northall is considered to be poor (SA Objective 11).

3.25.1 The northern part of site OAK001 is located within an ANS. Development of this site may adversely affect features of archaeological interest (SA Objective 1).

3.25.2 Oakley is located within LCA 7.5: Bernwood Forest. Key characteristics of this LCA include the medieval hunting forest on Bernwood, a low, undulating landscape, high density of woodland cover, strong hedgerows with oak trees, meandering streams, patches of scrub and wet grassland and a dispersed settlement pattern. Distinctive features include views up to Brill Hill and large blocks of ancient woodland. Development at the potential development sites in Oakley is not expected to affect these features.

3.25.3 Site OAK001 is visible from Manor Road and site OAK002 is visible from Worminghall Road, but as these sites already include dwellings the impact of development on views is considered negligible (SA Objective 2).

3.25.4 Both sites consist partially of developed land, but mostly of grassland. These habitats are generally considered to be of low biodiversity value (SA Objective 3).

3.25.5 Oakley lies within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding. Neither site OAK001 nor site OAK002 is at high risk of surface water flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.25.6 The northern area of OAK001 contains Grade 3 agricultural land. It is not known if development of this site will lead to loss of best and most versatile agricultural land (SA Objective 6).

3.25.7 A number of bus services pass through Oakley, but none of these run on a frequent basis. There are no train stations within 1km of Oakley. Residents of Oakley are likely to be dependent on car use for travel. Development in Oakley is expected to lead to more cars on the road and an associated increase in greenhouse gas emissions (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.25.8 Oakley has a village hall, playing field and children’s play area, although the nearest leisure centre is further than 2km away. There is neither a hospital within 8km nor a GP surgery within 800m of either of the potential development sites in Oakley. As such, access to healthcare is considered to be poor for both sites (SA Objective 11).

PAD007 ------0 0 + + - 0

3.26.1 Development at sites PAD004 and PAD007 has the potential to affect the setting of a number of listed buildings located along the Main Street in the centre of Padbury. Both Padbury conservation area and an ANS are located immediately north of PAD004. Development at this site is likely to impact the setting of these features. There also appears to be some ridge and furrow at site PAD007 to the west, which would be lost to development at this site (SA Objective 1).

3.26.2 Site PAD004 is located on the eastern edge of LCA 5.1: Padbury Valley. This area of Padbury is characterised by many traditional buildings of stone, redbrick and thatch, with some redevelopment. The area holds a unified landscape and strong landscape pattern, made up of well preserved historic fields and meadows, with patches of ridge and furrow. The site consists predominately of arable land with some hedges lining the field. There is a single public footpath, which runs adjacent to the northern boundary of the site. Development would change views to site PAD004 from the footpath. Overall PAD004 is in keeping with the settlement pattern of Padbury, and is not likely to have an adverse impact on its character.

3.26.3 Site PAD007 is located on the southeastern edge of LCA 5.4: Twyford Vale. This area is of low settlement density, with good views across the valley. The sensitivity of the landscape is moderate. Site PAD007 is made up of predominately pasture, with strong hedgerows lining the field boundaries. Development at site PAD007 would change the character of the landscape, from open rural landscape to edge of urban (SA Objective 2).

3.26.4 Site PAD007 contains a linear stretch of hedgerows to the west of the site, which could be an important habitat corridor. Loss of this biodiversity feature could reduce habitat connectivity across the area. The northeastern corner of site PAD004 contains a range of habitats including mature trees, grassland and scrub. Development at both sites may result in the loss of habitats of principal importance and any species associated with these (SA Objective 3).

3.26.5 Both sites PAD007 and PAD004 are located within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding. The southwestern parts of site PAD007 is at high risk of surface water flooding. Development at this site may be at risk of flooding and may exacerbate flood risk by reducing the drainage ability of the land (SA Objective 5).

3.26.6 Both sites consist of Grade 3 agricultural land. As such it is uncertain whether development would lead to loss of best and most versatile land.

3.26.7 Both sites are located within an area of brick clay deposits. It is likely that development at these sites will sterilise this important mineral resource (SA Objective 6).

3.26.8 Site visits demonstrated that Lower Road, which is the main road to access site PAD004, is narrow and may experience congestion as a result of development at the site. Padbury does not have a train station within 1km. Bus services 60 and X60 stop in the settlement and run frequently, Monday to Saturday. These services connect Padbury with Aylesbury and Milton Keynes, allowing residents access to further amenities and facilities (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.26.9 Whilst there is no leisure centre located within 2km of the centre of Padbury, there is Ivinghoe Golf Club to the north east of Pitstone, and a playing field in the village. These facilities provide residents with alternative opportunity for outdoor sport and recreation, although Ivinghoe Golf Club is not a public facility. With regard to health facilities, the village is limited by having no GP surgery within 800m. Buckingham Community Hospital is located within 8km (SA Objective 11).

3.27.1 Sites PIT001, PIT004 and PIT005 lie within LCA 10.3: Marsworth and Pitstone Chalk Quarries. Key characteristics of this LCA include sloping chalk foothills, extensive areas of chalk quarrying, restored chalk pits under grassland management, open arable landscape on periphery of area and chalk springs. Development is not expected to affect these features.

3.27.2 Sites PIT002, and PIT007 are located within LCA 8.4: Pitstone – Edlesborough Slopes. A network of improved drains and streams, an irregular field pattern and mixed land use characterise this LCA. The Grand Union Canal and the settlement of Pitstone are listed as distinctive features of this LCA. Development is not expected to affect these features.

3.27.3 The Chilterns AONB and areas of Green Belt lie to the south and east of Pitstone. It is not predicted that development will impact these features. Sites PIT001 and PIT004 lie adjacent to an Area of Attractive Landscape. Development at these sites may lead to adverse effects on this locally designated landscape (SA Objective 2).

3.27.4 Site PIT001 consists of a wooded area and an area of rough grassland, shared with site PIT005. These are likely to be biodiverse habitats that could host species including birds, bats and wildflowers. Site PIT002 is a grass area which appears to include mature hedgerows. Development at these sites may lead to a loss of local biodiversity (SA Objective 3).

3.27.5 All sites, with the exception of site PIT004, are located on Grade 3 agricultural land. Development at these sites could lead to a loss of best and most versatile land. Deposits of chalk underlie all potential development sites in Pitstone. Development would lead to sterilisation of these resources (SA Objective 6).

3.27.6 Bus service 61 provides a frequent service in Pitstone. Sites PIT001, PIT004, PIT005 and PIT007 are within 400m of a bus stop, served by the number 61 service. The centre of PIT002 is further than 400m from a bus stop, but the southern edge of the site is within this distance. Due to the small size of the site, it is considered that bus services are accessible from this site, although residents may be less likely to use them on a frequent basis (SA Objective 9).

3.27.7 There are playing fields adjacent to PIT005, which are expected to be accessible from all sites in Pitstone. Whilst site PIT005 includes part of the playing fields, the HELAA states that this part of the site is not to be developed.

3.27.8 The Village Health Centre and Little Rothschild House Surgery are within 800m of all sites, except PIT004. The nearest NHS hospital is further than 8km from Pitstone, which may limit access to healthcare from the village (SA Objective 11).

3.28.1 Site QUA001 lies wholly within an ANS. Development at the site is expected to adversely affect features of archaeological interest. The site also lies within an area of ridge and furrow, which would be lost to development at this site (SA Objective 1).

3.28.2 Quainton is located within LCA 5.9: Westcott Claylands. The landscape is in very good condition despite visual detractors such as A41. Hedgerows line site QUA001, which limit visibility from the road and residential properties to the east and west. Development at site QUA001 is considered to be in keeping with the character of the landscape, filling the gap in linear housing along station road (SA Objective 2).

3.28.3 There are no statutory or non-statutory biodiversity designations in close proximity to QUA011. Overall, development at this site is not anticipated to have a negative impact on biodiversity (SA Objective 3).

3.28.4 QUA001 is located within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding, however the eastern part of the site is at medium risk of surface water flooding. Development at this site may be at risk of surface water flooding and may exacerbate flood risk by reducing the drainage ability of the land (SA Objective 5).

3.28.5 Site QUA001 contains Grade 3 agricultural land. As such it is uncertain whether development would lead to loss of best and most versatile land (SA Objective 6).

3.28.6 Development at QUA011 may result in increased vehicle movements on the, already busy Station road, which joins to the A41. Opportunities for sustainable transport include bus services 16 and 17, which run frequently, connecting Quainton with Aylesbury and Biscester. There are no train stations within 1km of the village (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.28.7 There is no leisure centre located within 2km of the centre of Quainton, however there are playing fields, a village green, and a childrens play area within the settlement. These provide residents with access to outdoor recreation. With regard to health facilities, the village is limited by having neither a GP surgery within 800m, nor a hospital within 8km (SA Objective 11).

3.29.1 Site SHA001 is adjacent to an ANS to the east and south. Development at this site may affect the historic environment by altering the setting of archaeological features (SA Objective 1).

3.29.2 Most of Shabbington village, including site SHA001, lies within LCA 8.11: Peppershill Arable. This LCA is characterised by a gently sloping landform, good hedgerow pattern, predominantly arable land and low settlement density. Development at this site may lead to loss of hedgerows, but this is likely to be at such a small scale that effects on the LCA will be negligible.

3.29.3 This site may be visible from Franklins Farm Riding Stables. The Bernwood Jubilee Way and Thame Valley Walk pass along the southern boundary of the site. Development at this site would alter views from part of these routes, from rural to built up urban (SA Objective 2).

3.29.4 Site SHA001 consists of paddocks, which are not considered to be a biodiverse habitat (SA Objective 3).

3.29.5 Shabbington lies within Flood Zone 1, which is considered to be at low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.29.6 The majority of site SHA001 consists of Grade 3 agricultural land, although it is not known if this is Grade 3a or 3b. Site SHA001 contains sand and gravel deposits, which would be sterilised by development at this site (SA Objective 6).

3.29.7 Site SHA001 is located further than 400m from a bus stop that is served by frequent services and further than 1km from a train station. As a result, residents of Shabbington are likely to rely on car use for transport. This is likely to increase traffic on the roads and an associated increase in greenhouse gas emissions (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.29.8 There is a children’s play area and playing fields in Shabbington, although there is no leisure centre within 2km. Thame Community Hospital, which specialises in aftercare, is within 8km of Shabbington. There are no GP surgeries within 800m of site SHA001, which is expected to result in poor access to healthcare from this site (SA Objective 11).

3.30.1 Slapton lies within LCA 8.3: Ouzel Valley Catchment. This LCA is characterised by a wide, shallow valley, a meandering stream fed by ditches, large open arable fields, well-trimmed hedges with occasional mature hedgerow trees and sparse distribution of settlements. The settlement of Slapton is listed as a distinctive feature. Development at site SLA002 is not expected to encroach on these features, particularly as the site will be inkeeping with the linear development along Mill Road.

3.30.2 This site is visible from the road, the footpath along the site’s eastern boundary and from Bury Farm Equestrian Centre. As the HELAA suggests development will be restricted to extension of existing development along the road frontage only, overall landscape impacts are likely to be negligible (SA Objective 2).

3.30.3 Site SLA002 lies within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.30.4 There is neither a train station within 1km of site SLA002, nor is there a bus stop with frequent services within 400m. Residents of Slapton are expected to rely on travel by car. Development could lead to an increase in car travel in and around Slapton, and an associated increase in greenhouse gas emissions (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.30.5 There is no leisure centre within 2km of Slapton, but the village has a playing field and children’s play area.

Site SOU009 lies within an ANS. Development at this site could lead to loss of archaeological features (SA Objective 1).

3.31.2 Soulbury is located within LCA 4.11: Mursley – Soulbury Claylands. This LCA is characterised by a rolling landform, springs and streams draining off the ridge, small dispersed pockets of woodland, an exposed area due to elevation and nucleated row settlements. These features are not expected to be lost to development.

3.31.3 Development at this site will be visible from High Road, but it is not expected to be visible from any highly sensitive receptors (SA Objective 2).

3.31.4 Site SOU009 is currently used as pasture and is not likely to have high biodiversity value. The small wooded area and stream to the south of the site are not expected to be affected, providing development is designed with sensitivity towards these features, as suggested in the HELAA (SA Objective 3).

3.31.5 Site SOU009 is located in Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.31.6 Part of site SOU009 is within an area of sand and gravel deposits. Development at this site would lead to sterilisation of this resource (SA Objective 6).

3.31.7 There is neither a train station within 1km of site SOU009, nor is there a frequent bus service stopping within 400m. Residents of SOU009 are expected to rely on car use for travel, leading to increased traffic on the roads and associated greenhouse gas emissions (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.32.2 Sites SCD005 and SCD08 lie within LCA 5.4: Twyford Vale. This LCA is characterised by a shallow, gently sloping valley, meandering watercourses, meadows, a good hedgerow pattern, pasture, low density of settlement and good views across the valley. Development is not expected to affect these features.

3.32.3 Sites SCD003 and SCD007 lie within LCA 7.3: Claydon Bowl. Claydon Bowl is characterised by high ground on the edge of the LCA, where Steeple Claydon lies. Other key characteristics include gently sloping ground, a moderate level of woodland cover, mixed farming, small, straight lanes and ponds in villages.

3.32.4 The Bernwood Jubilee Way runs adjacent to SCD003. Development at SCD003 would be highly visible from this PRoW, which runs along the road adjacent to this site (SA Objective 2).

3.32.5 Site SCD007 consists of rough grassland, which may provide important habitat for species including reptiles and invertebrates. Development of this site may lead to a loss in biodiversity (SA Objective 3).

3.32.6 Site SCD005 is adjacent to an area of Flood Zone 2, which is associated with the stream to the west of the site. Development at this site may be at risk of flooding and may exacerbate flood risk by introducing impermeable surfaces to a previously permeable field (SA Objective 5).

3.32.7 Sites SCD003, SCD007 and SCD008 consist of Grade 3 agricultural land. It is not known whether development of these sites would lead to a loss of best and most versatile agricultural land.

3.32.8 Site SCD003 contains sand and gravel deposits. Sites SCD005, SCD007 and SCD008 are underlain by deposits of brick clay. Development of these sites could lead to sterilisation of these mineral resources (SA Objective 6).

STW003 is also located within Stewkley conservation area, and STW005 is within an ANS. Development at these sites is likely to negatively impact these historic features, possibly leading to partial loss of the conservation area and ANS. There also appears to be some ridge and furrow at site STW005, which would be lost to development at this site (SA Objective 1).

3.33.2 Stewkley is located within LCA 11: Mursley – Soulbury Claylands. The landscape is considered to be moderately sensitive, made up of large arable areas between Stewkley and Mursley, with areas of grassland concentrated around the perimeter of the settlements. The area is exposed due to its elevation above surrounded areas, and sites STW005 and STW003 are likely to be visible from adjacent roads and residential properties. Site STW003 is a single land parcel, lined with hedgerows to the north and east, and residential properties to the south. Site STW005 is predominately made up of pasture with sparse trees and hederows, and includes what appears to be a residential property in the northwest corner of the site. Both sites are extensions of the urban area and site STW003 is in keeping with the nucleated row settlement pattern. Site STW005 extends out into the rural landscape, changing the setting of the landscape to edge of urban (SA Objective 2)

3.33.3 Both sites consist of pasture with mature hedgerows marking the boundaries, and a residential property in the corner of site STW005. There are three LWS’ located within close proximity of site STW003. Little Sandpit Field is located to the east of the site, Stewkley Recreation Ground Fields is to the southeast, and Clack Fen is located to the northeast of STW003. Biodiversity may be negatively affected by development through urban edge effects, including littering, trespassing, and increased footfall at the designated sites (SA Objective 3).

3.33.4 Sites STW003 and STW005 are within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.33.5 Both sites STW003 and STW005 lie within Grade 3 agricultural land. As such it is uncertain whether development would lead to loss of best and most versatile land (SA Objective 6).

3.33.6 There is no train station located within 1km of the village. There are bus services which run to neighboring villages; the number 162 service runs from Stewkley to Bletchley and Leighton Buzzard. This service is infrequent, running only Monday to Thursday, less than hourly. Access to sustainable transport overall is limited, and it is thought that cars will be relied on for travel (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.33.7 Whilst there is no leisure centre located within 2km from the centre of Stewkley, there is a cricket ground, childrens’ play area and playing field. These facilities provide residents with opportunities for outdoor sport and recreation.

Development at these sites has potential to alter the setting of these historic features (SA Objective 1).

3.34.2 Stoke Hammond lies within LCA 4.9: Newton Longville - Stoke Hammond Claylands. This LCA is characterised by gently undulating to rolling landform, a nucleated settlement pattern and parliamentary enclosures with thorn hedges. Potential development sites at Stoke Hammond are not expected to lead to loss of these features.

3.34.3 Sites SHM003 and SHM013 can be glimpsed from Newton Road and Leighton Road respectively. Sites SHM007, SHM008 are highly visible from surrounding roads. In addition, a footpath runs through site SHM008, which currently has an open aspect. Development would change views to sites SHM007 and SHM008 from the roads and footpath. Site SHM007 is also adjacent to an Area of Attractive Landscape. Development at this site may negatively affect the setting of this local landscape designation (SA Objective 2).

3.34.4 Site SHM003 includes a small group of trees in the southeast of the site, which could have high biodiversity potential. Sites SHM008 and SHM013 are separated by a stream lined with trees. In text accompanying site SHM013, the HELAA states that this area will remain undeveloped, as it is classified as Flood Zone 3. The HELAA does not state this under SHM008, thus it remains uncertain whether these habitats could be lost to development on the southern side (SA Objective 3).

3.34.5 The stream that marks the boundary between SHM008 and SHM013 is associated with high risk of both fluvial (Flood Zone 3) and surface water flooding. With regards to site SHM013 the HELAA states the area at risk of flooding in the south of the site will be avoided. This is not reflected with regards to site SHM008, although the HELAA suggests this site would only come forward with site SHM013. It is not known whether development at site SHM008 would include areas at high risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.34.6 All potential development sites in Stoke Hammond consist of Grade 3 agricultural land, although it is not known if this is Grade 3a or 3b. A strip of sand and gravel deposits runs between sites SHM008 and SHM013. It is not known within which of these two sites this deposit lies, although development at either site is likely to restrict access to this resource (SA Objective 6).

3.34.7 All sites in Stoke Hammond are within 400m of a bus stop that is served by frequent services to Luton and Milton Keynes, with the exception of site SHM008. Less than half of SHM008 is within 400m of a bus stop, although it is not thought that this is sufficient to discourage residents in the southwest of the site from using the bus entirely (SA Objective 9).

3.34.8 Whilst there is no leisure centre within 2km, the playing fields on Bragenham Side and Stoke Hammond Sports Club are within 1km of all sites. Milton Keynes Hospital is within 8km of all sites, although there are no GP surgeries in Stoke Hammond. This is expected to result in residents of Stoke Hammond having limited access to healthcare (SA Objective 11).

DAD001 ------0 0 0 - + - 0

3.35.1 Site DAD001 is located within Stowe registered park and garden (Grade I) and within an ANS. Development at this site would directly alter part of the park and garden and may adversely affect the archaeological environment associated with the ANS (SA Objective 1).

3.35.2 Stowe registered park and garden lies within its own LCA; 1.4: Stowe Registered Parkland. Along with the designated park and garden, key characteristics of this LCA include high ground and valley landforms, ornamental lakes, designated views and vistas and large areas of woodland. Site DAD001 is relatively small, at a scale inkeeping with local development and on the edge of the park and garden. Any development at this site is likely to be visible from the road and the footpath that runs through the site. The entirety of this LCA is designated as an AAL. Development at site DAD001 would result in alteration of this designated landscape. The site is also likely to be visible from surrounding hills, including high ground of Stowe (SA Objective 2).

3.35.3 Site DAD001 consists of an arable field, which is expected to have limited biodiversity value. Vyladd Marsh LWS lies to the west of the site. This may be negatively affected by development through urban edge effects, including disturbance and trespassing (SA Objective 3).

3.35.4 Site DAD001 contains areas of Flood Zones 2 and 3. The site also contains an area at high risk of surface water flooding in the southern part of the site. Development at this site may be at risk of flooding and may increase flood risk by replacing permeable fields with impermeable manmade surfaces (SA Objective 5).

3.35.5 There is no train station within 1km of Dadford, nor are there any bus stops served by high frequency services within 400m. As such, residents of Dadford are likely to be reliant on travel by car (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.35.6 Dadford contains a children’s play area, playing fields and allotments, offering residents good access to opportunities for outdoor recreation. Buckingham Community Hospital lies within 8km of Dadford, but there are no GP surgeries within 800m of DAD001. As such, access to healthcare may be limited from the site (SA Objective 11).

3.36.1 Swanbourne lies within LCA 4.12: Winslow Ridge. Winslow Ridge is characterised by a gently sloping ridge, mixed farming with a good field pattern and strong hedgerows, scattered farms and attractive historic settlements. Distinctive features include vernacular buildings, some with thatched roofs at Swanbourne, ridge and furrow strips around Swanbourne and mature oak and ash trees along roads. Development at site SWA001 is not expected to result in loss or alteration of any of these features.

3.36.2 Site SWA001 is visible from the road and the car park of The Betsey Wynne pub. Impacts of development on these receptors are likely to be negligible (SA Objective 2).

3.36.3 Site SWA001 consists of a field, which is thought to be of low biodiversity value. Development at this site is not expected to affect any sites designated for nature conservation (SA Objective 3).

3.36.4 Swanbourne is located in Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.36.5 Site SWA001 consists partially of Grade 3 agricultural land. It is unknown whether development of this site would lead to a loss of best and most versatile agricultural land (SA Objective 6).

3.36.6 There is no train station within 1km of Swanbourne, nor is site SWA001 within 400m of a bus stop with high frequency bus services. As a result, residents of Swanbourne are likely to rely on car use for travel (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.36.7 Swanbourne Park includes playing pitches, which provide local opportunities for outdoor recreation. This is within 200m of site SWA001. There is not a GP surgery in Swanbourne, nor is there an NHS hospital within 8km of the village. As such, access to healthcare from Swanbourne is considered poor (SA Objective 11).

3.37.1 Tingewick conservation area is located to the west of site TIN007, and there is an ANS to the northwest of TIN007. Development at the site is likely to impact on the setting of these features (SA Objective 1).

3.37.2 Tingewick is located within LCA 4.1: Tingewick Plateau. This is characterised by a gently sloping plateau of high ground and mixed agricultural use. The area generally has a flat, open character with a good hedgerow network. Site TIN007 appears to be enclosed by mature trees and hedgerows and is unlikely to be visible from surrounding residential properties. Bernwood Jubilee Way runs adjacent to the northern boundary of site TIN007. Development at site TIN007 would be in keeping with the nucleated settlement pattern of Tingewick, with negligible overall impacts on landscape character (SA Objective 2).

3.37.3 Site TIN007 has high biodiversity potential due to the range of habitats within the site. Trees, scrub, and vegetation on site could provide habitats for bats, birds, reptiles and invertebrates, which would be lost if the site were developed (SA Objective 3).

3.37.4 Site TIN007 is located within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.37.5 TIN007 is underlain by sand and gravel deposits. It is likely that development at the site will sterilise this important mineral resources (SA Objective 6).

3.37.6 Site visits demonstrated that Main Street has poor access for vehicles due to parked cars along the street. Additional movement on the Main Street as a result of development may lead to congestion.

3.37.7 Tingewick does not have a train station, however there are good bus services in the area. Bus service numbers 131 and 132 run from Buckingham to Brackley via Tingewick. These services are frequent, operating Monday to Friday, and Saturday (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.37.8 There is no leisure centre located within 2km of Tingewick. Playing fields and a childrens’ play area in the village provide access for residents to leisure and recreation. Additional amenities in Tingewick include a village shop, post office and public house.

3.37.9 With regard to health facilities, the village is limited by having no GP surgery within 800m. Buckingham Community Hospital is within 8km of the village (SA Objective 11).

TWY001 -- 0 - - + -- 0 0 - + -- 0

3.38.1 Development at site TWY001 is unlikely to affect the setting of listed buildings located in the village of Twyford. Development at this site would likely lead to loss of archaeological features associated with an ANS that lies within the site (SA Objective 1).

3.38.2 Site TWY001 lies within LCA 5.4: Twyford Vale. This LCA is characterised by shallow gently sloping valley, a good hedgerow pattern, very little woodland, low density of settlement and good views across the valley. The HELAA suggests that the depth of this site should be no greater than existing dwellings to the west on Portway Road. As such development at this site is expected to be in keeping with current development form and is unlikely to affect the wider landscape. Development at site TWY001 is likely to be visible from Portway Road and may be visible from the public footpath that runs adjacent to the northern boundary of TWY001. Due to the limited scale of development as an extension to existing development, this effect is expected to be negligible (SA Objective 2).

3.38.3 Site TYW001 appears to be an arable field enclosed by hedgerows with mature trees. The hedgerows on the boundaries of site TWY001 could provide habitat for species such as birds and bats. The site also contains an area of allotments adjacent to Portway Road. Allotments can also provide habitat for a range of species, including reptiles and invertebrates. Degradation of these features may lead to loss of biodiversity (SA Objective 3).

3.38.4 Twyford lies within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding from rivers and sea. There is a low risk of surface water flooding at the site (SA Objective 5).

3.38.5 Site TWY001 is coincident with brick clay deposits. Development of this site would sterilise this resource so it would not be available for future use (SA Objective 6).

3.38.6 Twyford is further than 1km from a train station. The number 18 bus runs through the village but services are low frequency, thus limiting access to and from the village by public transport. This is likely to result in residents of Twyford relying on car travel, leading to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.38.7 Whilst Twyford is further than 2km from a leisure centre, the village contains a playing field and children’s play area. There are no GP surgeries within 800m of site TWY001 and this site is further than 8km from a hospital. This is likely to result in poor access to healthcare. Development of this site would also lead to loss of allotments, which will remove an opportunity for outdoor recreation in the area (SA Objective 11).

3.39.1 Waddesdon contains many listed buildings, including Waddesdon Manor, which is Grade I listed and owned by the National Trust. Surrounding Waddesdon Manor is a cluster of Grade II* listed buildings. There are also Grade II* and Grade II listed buildings along Waddesdon High Street. Site WAD003 is not expected to impact these historical assets. Waddesdon Manor registered park and garden is located adjacent to the east of WAD004. Development at site WAD004 may negatively impact the setting of this feature (SA Objective 1).

3.39.2 Waddesdon is located within LCA 9.4: Waddesdon - Eythrope Parkland, which is designated as an Area of Attractive Landscape. The area is characterised by distinct parkland landscapes, including that of Waddesdon Manor. Parkland at Waddesdon Manor adds to the strong visual unity of the area and the sensitivity of the landscape is very high, with a strong sense of place. The north Buckinghamshire Way and Midshires Way cross through sites WAD004 and WAD003.

3.39.3 WAD003 is made up of 3 parcels of land used predominately for pasture. The parcels are lined with hedgerows, providing open views of the surrounding landscape. WAD004 contains a mix of uses, including arable land, rough grassland, scrub, patches of woodland, hedgerows, and allotment grassland. Development at these sites is expected to lead to loss of those features identified in the landscape character assessment as being important to the area, such as hedgerows and local woodland. WAD004 is partially screened with woodland and hedgerows restricting views from adjacent roads, Waddesdon Church of England School and residential properties (SA Objective 2).

3.39.4 Sites WAD003 and WAD004 are located to the east of Waddesdon. Habitats present include arable farmland, pasture, hedgerows, woodland, and rough grassland. The area of WAD004 located to the west of Goss Avenue is expected to be rich in biodiversity, containing a range of habitats. Loss of habitat connectivity at site WAD004 could result in loss of species of principal importance associated with these habitats (SA Objective 3).

3.39.5 Both sites WAD003 and WAD004 are within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.39.6 Both sites contain Grade 3 agricultural land. It is unknown whether this is Grade 3a (which is considered best and most versatile) or Grade 3b land (which is not). As such it is uncertain whether development would lead to loss of best and most versatile land. Site WAD004 contains sand and gravel deposits. It is likely that development at this site will sterilise this important mineral resource (SA Objective 6).

3.39.7 Development at sites WAD003 and WAD004 may result in increased vehicle movements on the A41, which runs through the village. There is no train station located within 1km of Waddesdon, however the number 16 and 17 bus services runs frequently to Aylesbury and Bicester. This service provides residents with sustainable access to surrounding centres (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.39.8 Whilst there is no leisure centre located within 2km of the centre of Waddesdon, there are a number of alternative sports and recreation facilities. These include playing fields, a childrens’ playground and a cricket ground.

3.39.9 The village contains Waddesdon Surgery, however health services are limited as there is no hospital within 8km (SA Objective 11).

3.40.1 Westbury is located within LCA 2.1: Westbury - Biddlesden Great Ouse Valley. This LCA is characterised by steeply sloping, undulating ground and mixed agricultural land with arable, pasture and woodland. The area is generally enclosed in character with a good hedgerow network and the historic field pattern has generally been retained. Site WES002 appears to be enclosed by hedgerows and mature trees.

3.40.2 A single public footpath crosses through the southern area of WES002. Development at site WES002 will be visible from this footpath. Westbury Circular Ride promoted route runs adjacent to the eastern site boundary of WES002. Glimpsed views of development at WES002 are likely from this promoted route through screening vegetation along the eastern site boundary.

3.40.3 The HELAA suggests that development at site WES002 would be confined to the southern area of the site and extend no further north than the line of properties fronting Biddlesden Road. Development of site WES002 is not expected to affect the key features of LCA 2.1.

3.40.4 The hedgerows bordering site WES002 to the east could have high biodiversity potential, particularly because of their links to the wooded area at the north of the site. Development of the site may lead to loss of part of this hedgerow, which may result in a loss of biodiversity associated with this feature (SA Objective 3).

3.40.5 Site WES002 is located within Flood Zone 1 which has low risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.40.6 Part of WES002 is underlain by limestone deposits. It is therefore likely that development at the site will sterilise this mineral resources (SA Objective 6).

3.40.7 Westbury does not have a railway station and site WES002 is not located within 1km of a railway station. Bus service number 131/132/133 runs from Buckingham to Brackley via Westbury. This service is infrequent and runs from Monday to Friday. As such, access to sustainable modes of transport is likely to be limited for residents in Westbury. This may lead to residents relying on car travel, which may increase traffic on the roads and associated carbon emissions (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.40.8 There is no leisure centre located within 2km of Westbury. Playing fields and a cricket ground in the area provide access for residents to leisure and recreation. Additional amenities in Westbury include a village hall and a public house.

3.40.9 With regard to health facilities, the village is limited by having no GP surgery within 800m. Buckingham Community Hospital is located within 8km of Westbury (SA Objective 11).

3.41.1 Site WSC003 is adjacent to a disused RAF station, where nearly 53,000 allied prisoners of war were flown back to the UK at the end of WWII20. There are listed buildings to the north, south and east of site WSC003. Development at this site could affect the setting of these features. The site lies fully within an ANS, thus development could lead to loss of associated archaeological features, including known earthworks (SA Objective 1).

3.41.2 Westcott lies within LCA 5.9: Westcott Claylands. Shallow valleys, gently sloping land, pastoral land, low settlement density and ponds characterise this LCA. A key feature is the Westcott Rocket Research Establishment, which is on the site of the disused RAF station. This site contains small ponds and pastoral land, but it is unknown whether this will be lost due to the low quantum of development at this site.

3.41.3 The site is visible from gaps in the hedgerow along Ashendon Road and rooftops may be visible above the trees next to the Church of St Mary. The Aylesbury Outer Ring promoted PRoW runs through the site, therefore development would change the immediate setting of this route (SA Objective 2).

3.41.4 This site consists of rough grassland with hedgerows, groups of trees and small ponds within groups of trees. These features could include biodiverse habitat and may be used by European protected species, including bats. Development at this site may lead to loss of or degradation to potentially important biodiversity features (SA Objective 3).

3.41.5 Westcott lies in Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of fluvial flooding. There are small areas at high risk of surface water flooding in the southeast of site WSC003. Development in or next to these areas may be at risk of surface water flooding and may exacerbate this risk (SA Objective 5).

3.41.6 Westcott is further than 1km from a train station. There are bus stops adjacent to the site, but these are served by low frequency services. As such, accessibility to and from Westcott by public transport is limited and residents are likely to rely on travel by car, thus increasing the carbon footprint of the area (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.41.7 Westcott does not have any recreation facilities and is further than 2km from a leisure centre. More independent residents may be able to make use of the open access land at Waddesdon Manor, which is less than 2km from the village and can be accessed via public rights of way. There are no hospitals within 8km and no GP surgeries within 800m, resulting in limited access to health facilities from Westcott (SA Objective 11).

3.42 Whaddon

3.42.1 Listed buildings are located along Whaddon High Street. Development at site WHA001 may have an impact on the setting of listed buildings, particularly Grade II listed Tattenhoe Bare Farmhouse, located to the east of the site.

3.42.2 Snelshall Benedictine Priory: a moated priory site and fishponds is located to the north of WHA001. Whaddon conservation area is located to the east of WHA001. Within the site boundary itself are three ANS’. It is predicted that development is likely to lead to loss of archaeological features, and may impact the setting of the conservation area and a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SA Objective 1).

3.42.3 Whaddon is located within LCA 4.7: Whaddon Chase, which is designated as a Local Landscape Area. Incised valleys, extensive woodland and irregular shaped field patterns characterise the area. WHA001 contains a number of irregular open arable fields with a gently sloping topography. Development at the site is likely to change the character of the landscape from open arable to built-up urban.

3.42.4 This LCA is recorded as being in very good condition, with high sensitivity. The HELAA states that a large landscape buffer to Whaddon village will be included within the development of the site. Site WHA001 is likely to be visible from all sides except the east, which is lined with trees, limiting visual impact on Kingsmead. The overall extent of impact on the landscape will depend on the design and layout of the proposed buffer (SA Objective 2).

3.42.5 Site WHA001 consists predominately of agricultural fields, with linear patches of woodland lining the site to the north and east. These patches of woodland may be high in biodiversity and are likely to serve as a habitat corridor for a number of species, including birds and bats. Development could result in adverse impacts on biodiversity (SA Objective 3).

3.42.6 WHA001 is located within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding. To the south of the site there is an area at high risk of surface water flooding. Development in this part of the site may therefore be at high risk of flooding (SA Objective 5).

3.42.7 Sustainable transport servicing WHA001 is lacking. There are no train stations within 1km and the bus service that runs through the village is infrequent, running on a Wednesday only. As such, accessibility to and from Whaddon by public transport is limited and residents are likely to rely on travel by car, thus increasing the carbon footprint of the area (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.42.8 There is no leisure centre located within 2km from the centre of Gawcott, however there are playing fields and a childrens’ play area within the village, providing residents with some opportunity for outdoor recreation.

3.42.9 With regard to health facilities, the village has no GP surgery within 800m. Milton Keynes Hospital is within 8km of site WHA001 (SA Objective 11).

3.43.1 Development at site WGR003 has the potential to affect the setting of a number of Grade II listed buildings located to the east of this site. Development at site WGR001 also has the potential to affect the setting of Grade II listed buildings located to the east of this site.

3.43.2 There is an ANS adjacent to the eastern boundary of WGR003, the context of which could be negatively affected by development at this site. Site WGR004 contains areas of ridge and furrow. Development of this site could lead to a loss of this feature. There also appears to be some ridge and furrow at site WGR011, which would be lost to development at this site (SA Objective 1).

3.43.3 Wingrave lies within LCA 4.14: Wingrave - Mentmore Ridge. Key Characteristics of this LCA include a wide valley between the ridge and clay plateau, large arable fields in the valley bottom, smaller paddocks on slopes and long distance views over the vale and Ouzel Valley.

3.43.4 WGR001 slopes down to the west. This site is likely to be visible from further down the slope and the footpath that crosses the site. Sites WGR004 and WGR011 are likely to be visible from the end of Abbotts Way and Baldways Close respectively and from footpaths across these sites, although further visibility is limited. A footpath also passes through site WGR003. Site WGR003 is highly visible from Twelve Leys. Site WGR010 is partially visible from the road, but mostly screened by trees. Site WGR014 is flat but the land to the south slopes steeply, making it visible from southern locations.

3.43.5 The entirety of Wingrave lies within an AAL. Development at any of the potential development sites may alter this local landscape designation (SA Objective 2).

3.43.6 Site WGR003 is mainly grassland, but has an area of trees in the southwestern corner, which could hold biodiversity value. Development at this site could lead to a loss of biodiversity (SA Objective 3).

3.43.7 All sites in Wingrave lie within Flood Zone 1, which is at low risk of flooding from rivers and sea (SA Objective 5).

3.43.8 All potential development sites in Wingrave consist of Grade 3 agricultural land, although it is not known whether this is Grade 3a or 3b. Sites WGR003 and WGR004 are underlain by sand and gravel deposits. Development at these sites would lead to sterilisation of these resources (SA Objective 6).

3.43.9 Wingrave is further than 1km from a train station. Only bus service 165 runs through Wingrave village, which is a low frequency service. All potential development sites are likely to have poor access to public transport links. The A418 experiences congestion and was identified as residents by a congestion hotspot. Development in Wingrave is likely to exacerbate congestion on this road. Development is expected to lead to more cars on the road and an increase in associated greenhouse gases (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.43.10 There is no leisure centre within 2km of Wingrave, although the playing fields next to Wingrave Community Centre are expected to be accessible from all potential development sites. The Whiteleaf Centre, a specialist mental health centre, is located within 8km of Wingrave. There are no other NHS hospitals within 8km, nor are there any GP surgeries in Wingrave. As a result, developments in this area are likely to have poor access to health services (SA Objective 11).

3.44.1 Ridge and furrow is present at WIN001. This is expected to be lost if development were to take place at the site (SA Objective 1).

3.44.2 Winslow is covered by a number of LCA types. WIN001 is located within LCA 5.5: Claydon Tributary and LCA 4.12: Winslow Ridge. LCA 5.5 primarily consists of land to the north of Winslow and the A413 and is characterised by a small valley draining from the higher claylands to the east and north, down to the Claydon Brook in the west. The area has a strong landscape pattern defined by hedgerows, with a remote, hidden character. LCA 4.12 is characterised by mixed farming with a good field pattern and strong hedgerows, scattered farms with barns and a sharp transition between Winslow and countryside. Development at WIN001 is likely to negatively impact this distinctive landscape by disrupting the coherent field pattern, hedgerows and streams (SA Objective 2).

3.44.3 Habitats present at this site include: pasture, mature hedgerows, woodland, trees and ponds. A stream flows across the site, and there are farm buildings on the western edge. Habitat connectivity across the site is good in the form of mature hedgerows and small areas of woodland. Old Quarry Biological Notification Site (BNS) is located within the site boundary. Development at this site is likely to result in a loss of habitats of principal importance and loss of or degradation to a designated site. Habitat connectivity at the site is likely to be reduced as result of habitat removal (SA Objective 3).

3.44.4 Site WIN001 contains areas of Flood Zone 2 and 3, which have high risk of flooding. There is also an area of high risk of surface water flooding along the stream present. The HELAA states that development will be up to the stream but that flood risk may be exacerbated by development next to this (SA Objective 5).

3.44.5 Sand and gravel deposits surround Winslow. It is likely that development at site WIN001 may sterilise important mineral resources (SA Objective 6).

3.44.6 There is no train station within 1km of Winslow, although East West Rail plans to re-open a station at Winslow in Phase 2 of construction. Sustainable transport is available in the area via the number 60 and X60 bus services, running from Aylesbury to Milton Keynes via Winslow. The 60 and X60 bus services run frequently. These services provide residents of Winslow with access to larger centres with extensive facilities and amenities (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.44.7 There is no leisure centre located within 2km of the centre of Winslow. There are a number of sports and recreational facilities within the area, including Winslow Sports Club Recreational Ground, a childrens’ playground, Jubilee games area and a youth centre.

3.44.8 Noden House Surgery is located in the centre of Wingrave. Buckingham hospital is approximately further than 8km from Winslow (SA Objective 11).

3.45.1 Site WMH002 lies within Pond Farm, adjacent to the Grade II listed Pond Farmhouse. Pond Farm is likely to be a key part of the setting of Pond Farmhouse. Development of site WMH002 may affect the setting of Pond Farmhouse. The site is partially underlain by an ANS. Development may lead to degradation of the archaeological feature (SA Objective 1).

3.45.2 Site WMH002 is located in LCA 8.12: Ickford Pastoral Vale. This is characterised by a low level landscape with small streams and ditches, pastoral land and meadows along the River Thame. Site WMH003 is located in LCA 8.11: Peppershill Arable. This is characterised by gently sloping landform, small arable fields with strong hedgerows, low density settlement and bridleways with hedges either side. Development at potential development sites in Worminghall is not expected to affect local landscape character.

3.45.3 Site WMH002 may be glimpsed from the road, but given that development will only be on the footprint of existing buildings, no changes in visibility are expected. Site WMH003 is highly visible from the road. Site WMH003 may also be visible from the footpath to the north of the site (SA Objective 2).

3.45.4 In building on the footprint of current buildings, development of site WMH002 is not expected to result in loss of natural habitats. Site WMH003 consists of improved pasture, which is generally not considered to be of high biodiversity value (SA Objective 3).

3.45.5 Both sites in Worminghall lie within Flood Zone 1 and are at low risk of flooding from rivers and surface water (SA Objective 5).

3.45.6 Both sites WMH002 and WMH003 consist of Grade 4 agricultural land, which is not best and most versatile, and are not underlain by any mineral deposits (SA Objective 6).

3.45.7 There is a single bus stop in Worminghall, which is served only by low frequency services. The village is further than 1km from a train station. Residents of any new development would have poor access to public transport and would likely rely on car use to get around. This is expected to increase greenhouse gas emissions associated with car use (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.45.8 There are no parks in Worminghall and the nearest leisure centre is further than 2km away. Whilst there is a hospital within 8km of the site, there are no GP surgeries within 800m, which is likely to limit residents’ access to healthcare (SA Objective 11).

3.46.1 The Green Belt review21 found site RSA-2 to be part suitable for housing. This includes provision of approximately 800 dwellings, which would be located in the southern part of the site, as far north as the dismantled railway.

3.46.2 Wendover has a strong historic environment. In particular, the Boddington Camp hillfort, a Scheduled Monument on top of Boddington Hill, and the Grade II listed Halton House registered park and garden. Development at site RSA-2 may affect the settings of these features. There is an ANS partially located within the northeastern part of this site. Development may lead to adverse effects on archaeological features associated with this site (SA Objective 1).

3.46.3 Site RSA-2 lies within LCA 10.4: Wendover Foothills. This LCA is characterised by a gently rolling landform, transition from open, arable fields in north to wooded landscape in the south, extensive areas of development adjacent to Halton within woodland setting and the settlement of Wendover lying within a gap in the Chilterns and interrupting the continuity of the area. In order to retain the features of this LCA, development at site RSA-2 may need to enhance the site’s woodland setting.

3.46.4 Site RSA-2 may be visible from Boddington Camp and Halton House, due to their elevation, although it is not known whether trees and other buildings may interrupt this view. Development at site RSA-2 is will alter views from part of the Grand Union Canal Walk. Development at RSA-2 is likely to alter the setting of part of the Chilterns AONB, which encloses Wendover village from the northwest to the east (SA Objective 2).

21 The Buckinghamshire Authorities (2016) Buckinghamshire Green Belt Assessment

3.46.5 There are a number of local biodiversity designations in and around Wendover. Development at site RSA-2 may lead to increased recreational impacts at Wendover Woods LWS, as this LWS consists of open access land. This may negatively impact biodiversity via disturbance to wildlife and/or increases in erosion and littering. The Grand Union Canal BNS lies adjacent to the north of the site. Development at the site could affect the BNS and the part of the canal that runs through the site, for example by an increase in surface water runoff. Surface water runoff could introduce particulate matter and other pollutants or nutrients into the canal, altering its biodiversity value. The eastern part of the site contains hedgerows and groups of trees that could be of high biodiversity value. The wooded area north of the dismantled railway line is also likely to support biodiversity interest. Development may lead to loss of these features or degradation of their biodiversity value via urban edge effects (SA Objective 3).

3.46.6 The southern and southwestern parts of site RSA-2, with the exception of land around Wendover Church of England Junior School, are at high risk of surface water flooding. Development at this site may be at risk of flooding and may exacerbate flood risk by reducing the drainage ability of the land (SA Objective 5).

3.46.7 The entirety of site RSA-2 contains deposits of chalk. This site also contains a large area of Grade 2 agricultural land. Development at this site would sterilise these resources and prevent their future access and use (SA Objective 6).

3.46.8 Only the southernmost edge of site RSA-2 is within 1km of a train station. The site is within 400m of a number of bus stops that are served by the number 50 service, which is high frequency. Residents at this site are likely to have good access to local public transport services.

3.46.9 The A413 runs adjacent to Wendover and is the main link from Wendover to larger centres, such as Aylesbury. This road experiences high levels of congestion at peak times. Development in Wendover is expected to increase congestion along this road, leading to an increase in associates carbon emissions (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

3.46.10 There is no leisure centre within 2km of Wendover, but the town contains allotments, playing fields and children’s play areas, thus offering opportunities for outdoor recreation. Wendover health centre is within 800m of site RSA-2 and Stoke Mandeville Hospital is within 8km. As such, residents are expected to have good access to healthcare (SA Objective 11).

4.2.1 Under all Options, site 2 has been assessed previously as HAD007 within section 3.17.

4.2.2 A cluster of grade II and II* listed buildings is located in the centre of Haddenham, including the Parish Church of St Mary (Grade I listed). A number of listed buildings, including the Grade II* listed Grenville Manor, are located to the west of site 4, which is included in all options. Scotsgrove Mill and Rose Cottage (Grade II) are located on the southwestern boundary of site 7 within Option 3. Walridge Manor (Grade II*) and Pasture Farmhouse and Barn to west of Pasture Farmhouse (Grade II) are located within site 6 of Option 2. Development at all Options may have an adverse impact on the setting of these buildings.

4.2.3 To the east of site 6 (Option 2) is a scheduled ancient monument: Nucleated medieval settlement east of Waldridge Manor. Development of this Option may impact the setting of this feature.

4.2.4 Site 1 of all Options is located on Haddenham airfield. This is a small airfield with varied history, which ceased military operations in 1946 but remains in use by the Upward Bound Trust22. Development at this site may lead to a loss of some of the historical significance associated with the airfield.

4.2.5 Site 4 forms part of all Options and is located partially within Haddenham conservation area. Site 7 is adjacent to Haddenham conservation area. Option 2 would lead to development within Aston Sandford Conservation Area. All Options are partly within ANS’. All Options are likely to adversely affect archaeological features (SA Objective 1).

4.2.6 Haddeham is located within LCA 8.9: A418 Haddenham Vale. The settlement is located at the southern ridge of the LCA, merging with a relatively large low-lying vale landscape. The area is characterised by a meandering network of streams, spreading out from the foothills of the Chiltern escarpment. The northern area of all Options crosses the southern boundary of LCA 9.9: A418 Ridge where the flat vale landscape merges with the low ridge.

4.2.7 The landscape is in good condition, with moderate sensitivity, visibility, and sense of place. Development of all options is likely to alter the character of the landscape from characteristic large-scale open arable fields to urban built form. The impact of development is likely to be greater from Option 2 as development would be disconnected from the main settlement area. Landscape character impacts from Options 1 and 3 may be softened by proposals being extensions of Haddenham. Development at Option 1 is in keeping with the existing nucleated settlement pattern, as the village would be expanded equally to the north and east.

4.2.8 There is an AAL located to the north of Haddenham, which should be considered by all Options. Development at site 1 of all Options, and sites 2, 3, and 5 of Option 1, may adversely impact the setting of this feature.

22 Chamberlain (2011) Haddenham Airfield History accessed 21/06/2016 available: http://www.haddenhamairfieldhistory.co.uk/closingdown.htm

4.2.9 All Options will be visible to some extent from existing development, roads and trains on the railway line. Options 1 and 3 are likely to have the highest visual impact from these receptors, whereas Option 2 is located further from Haddenham. The Outer Aylesbury Ring is a promoted route that runs through Haddenham from the northwest to the south. Whilst development of all Options will be highly visible to walkers along the route, Option 2 is likely to have the greatest impact as the route runs adjacent to the site, through open countryside. At Options 1 and 3 the route currently runs out of the village. Option 2 is likely to result in the biggest change to views from and the setting of this route.

4.2.10 Development at all options may lead to adverse impacts on surrounding villages. Option 2 could change the setting of villages such as Aston Standford, Owlswick and Ford from open countryside to built form. Due to the large size of the options, development may impact views from the AONB, which lies to the south of Haddenham. Development may also set a precedent for growth towards Thame under Option 3.

4.2.11 Smallwood near Aston Sandford LWS is located within the boundary of site 6, Option 2. Snakemoor LNR is located within the boundary of site 5, Option 1. Development of Options 1 and 2 could negatively impact biodiversity via disturbance to wildlife and/or loss of habitats and species of principal importance.

4.2.12 The sites in Option 1 consist predominately of arable fields surrounding the main settlement area of Haddenham. Site 5 contains patches of woodland in the middle of the site, rough grassland, and is lined with hedgerows to the east. These features are likely to be of high biodiversity value, and hedgerows may also be used as a habitat corridor. Development of Option 1 may lead to degredation or loss of these features and loss of associated species.

4.2.13 Land within site 6 of Option 2 is primarily agricultural, which is not generally considered to have high biodiversity value. Most sites contain hedgerows either within them or as a boundary feature. Site 7 of Option 3 is lined with hedgerows and there is a potentially biodiverse patch of woodland to the south. Development may lead to degradation or loss of these features and loss of associated species (SA Objective 3).

4.2.14 All Options are within Flood Zone 1, which has low risk of flooding. The River Thame lies to the north of Haddenham near Cuddington and Chearsly, with a tributary running to the southeast close to Aston Sandford and Church End. As a result, Option 3 borders Flood Zones 2 and 3 to the south of site 7. There is an area of medium to high risk of surface water flooding in the southwest of site 6, Option 2. Development at this site may be at high risk of flooding and may contribute to increasing the risk of flooding by reducing the drainage ability of the land (SA Objective 5).

4.2.15 All Options consist of Grade 3a and Grade 2 agricultural land. This is considered to be best and most versatile, and development is likely to lead to loss of this resource (SA Objective 6).

4.2.16 Haddenham and Thame Parkway train station is located on the edge of Haddenham. This is within 1km of Options 1 and 3, however site 6 of Option 2 is further than 1km from a train station. The A418 is within close proximity to all Options, running to the north west of Haddenham. Development may result in additional vehicles on this road as it connects Haddenham with Thame and Aylesbury. This may result in congestion and associated carbon emissions.

4.2.17 Bus services in the area provide sustainable transport to surrounding towns. The 111 and 280 bus services run frequently to Aylesbury, Oxford and Thame. The 112 service is within close proximity to sites at all Options, but runs infrequently (Wednesday and Friday only) to Upper Winchendon and Aylesbury. These services are accessible from Options 1 and 3, with the exception of site 7 of Option 3. Bus stops are located just over 400m from the north and south of site 7, Option 3, at Haddenham and Thame. Site 6 of Option 2 has relatively poor levels of accessibility from sustainable transport options, and therefore less well connected to key services and facilities. There is also a need for further work to consider wider transport impacts, beyond the immediate junctions affected in the town (SA Objective 4 and 9).

4.2.18 There is no leisure centre located within 2km of the centre of any of the proposed Options. Haddenham Youth FC is located to the east of Haddenham, in close proximity of site 4 of all Options. This facility provides opportunity for sport.

4.2.19 Haddenham Medical Centre is accessible from all Options, with the exception of Option 2 site 6. Due to the large numbers of additional house proposed through all Options, it is unlikely that this centre is going to be able to accommodate all new residents. Thame community hospital is within 8km of all Options, allowing residents access to further healthcare (SA Objective 11).

4.2.20 Options 2 and 3 may be able to include the provision of a secondary school as well as two primary schools, a small village centre, and employment area. The delivery of additional service provision in the area could serve the expanded population, ensuring residents have access to essential facilities (SA Objective 12).

Option 3 ------0 +/- -- ++ -- +/-

4.3.1 Under all Options, the general area of site 1 has been assessed previously as WIN001 within section 3.44. Note that Option 1 considers the entirety of site WIN001 as site 1, whereas Option 3 considers only the part identified as being suitable in the HELAA (as far north as the stream).

4.3.2 All Options are likely to lead to loss of ridge and furrow, as this is present at all sites to some extent and particularly prominent at site 1.

4.3.3 All Options may lead to urbanisation of the settings of historic features. Site 3 is likely to alter the settings of Grade II listed buildings to the northwest of this site. Development of site 3 could affect the setting of conservation areas at Great Horwood, Little Horwood and Winslow.

4.3.4 Site 3 is on the site of RAF Little Horwood airfield. This was a base of Operation Training Units in World War II and ceased operations in 194623. Development at this site may lead to a loss of some of the historical significance associated with the former airfield (SA Objective 1).

4.3.5 All Options are located in a number of different LCAs. All Options include areas within LCA 4.12: Winslow Ridge, as this includes part of sites 1 and 2. Key characteristics of this LCA include a gently sloping ridge, mixed farming with a good field pattern and strong hedgerows, scattered farms with barns and a sharp transition between Winslow and countryside. All Options are expected to be in-keeping with this LCA.

4.3.6 Options 1 and 2 include land in LCA 5.5: Claydon Tributary. The area has a strong landscape pattern defined by hedgerows, with a remote, hidden character. Development of both Options 1 and 2 may negatively impact this distinctive landscape by disrupting the coherent field pattern, hedgerows and streams.

4.3.7 Options 2 and 3 contain parts of LCA 4.10: Greenway Open Farmland, as site 3 lies within this LCA. Greenway Open Farmland is characterised by a gently sloping ridge, predominantly arable farming, a low level of tree cover, low cut hedgerows, which are adjacent to roads and open views. The concrete runways and line of conifer trees on the airfield are distinctive features, which would likely be lost to any development on this site.

4.3.8 Site 2 is highly visible from the Cross Bucks Way, but the effect of this may be softened by the fact this PRoW runs in to Winslow just south of this site. Options 2 and 3 are expected to have the highest landscape and visual impact, as site 3 would change a large part of open countryside to development. This site is slightly raised from the land around it, which may increase visibility from the Midshires Way, Great Horwood, Little Horwood and Winslow, as well as the surrounding roads and properties. Options 2 and 3 may also set a precedent for development towards Great Horwood and Little Horwood, which may eventually result in coalescence of these settlements (SA Objective 2).

4.3.9 All Options have potential to negatively affect SA Objective 3, as site 1 is particularly sensitive in terms of biodiversity. Old Quarry BNS lies within site 1 and this site also contains a stream, wooded areas and hedgerows. All of these features are likely to be important for biodiversity and may provide habitats for species such as bats and breeding birds. Development of site 1 through all Options may lead to losses in biodiversity and habitat connectivity.

4.3.10 All sites contain hedgerows that may be of biodiversity value, particularly as linear features such as these often provide habitat corridors. Site 3 may have biodiversity value in the wooded parts of the site, although these are mainly plantation, which is generally not considered as biodiverse as natural woodland. Site 3 is adjacent to Three-fields BNS and Little Horwood Airfield LWS and may increase the pressures of urban edge effects on these sites (SA Objective 3).

4.3.11 All Options would lead to development at high risk of flooding as part of site 1, along the stream, lies within Flood Zone 3. Site 1 also includes areas at high risk of surface water flooding, which may be exacerbated by development (SA Objective 5).

4.3.12 All Options and their constituent sites contain sand and gravel deposits. All of the Options lie entirely within Grade 3 agricultural land. All Options include best and most versatile agricultural land, as site 2 contains Grade 3a land. Development of any option would lead to sterilisation of these resources (SA Objective 6).

4.3.13 Whilst development of Option 1 is expected to consist entirely of housing, Options 2 and 3 may contain employment, schools and local services, although this is uncertain. If these aspects of the development were to go ahead, waste production per capita may increase, depending on specific uses (SA Objectives 8 and 12).

4.3.14 The A413 provides links to the strategic road network from Winslow. There is no train station within 1km of Winslow, although East West Rail plans to re-open a station at Winslow in Phase 2 of construction. The number 60 and X60 bus services, running from Aylesbury to Milton Keynes via Winslow on a frequent basis. Bus stops are limited in the north of Winslow and due to the size and location of sites 1 and 3, there are no bus services within 400m of the centre of these sites. Overall access to public transport is limited for all Options, although it is accessible from site 2. There is also a need for further work to consider wider transport impacts, beyond the immediate junctions affected in the town (SA Objectives 4 and 9).

4.3.15 Whilst there is no leisure centre within 2km of Winslow, the town contains a recreation ground and public hall. All Options may lead to the loss of a playing field associated with Sir Thomas Fremantle School, which lies within site 2. There are no hospitals within 8km of Winslow but Norden House Surgery is fairly central within the town. Health and recreation facilities are likely to be accessible to most residents as part of Option 1, although this option would still lead to loss of school playing fields. Access to such facilities may be limited to residents as part of Options 2 and 3, as it is unlikely that existing facilities can cater for a large number of additional residents. In addition, due to the large size of site 3, health and recreation facilities are likely to be less accessible to residents in the northern part of this site (SA Objective 11).

5.1 Best performing option

5.1.1 Tables 5.1 and 5.2 give a vosual summary of assessment results for site alloctaions and new settlements. The SA assessments have demonstrated that all sites would have mixed effects with regards to sustainability. It is not possible to identify a best performing option.

5.1.2 With regards to new settlements, results of the assessment are mixed and a single best performing option cannot be identified. Option 1 for both Haddenham and Winslow may be seen to perform slightly better against the SA Objectives due to the scale of the options and their location in relation to the current settlements. However, due to the larger sizes of Options 2 and 3 for both Haddenham and Winslow, there is the opportunity at these Options to lead to better sustainability performance. This would be seen in terms of provision of new local services and facilities, including health, recreation and employment opportunities.

5.2 Summary of assessment results SA Objective 1: Cultural heritage

5.2.1 Sites are generally assessed as having negative or neutral effects on cultural heritage. This is due to potential loss of archaeological and/or historic features or the potential for development to alter the settings of these.

SA Objective 2: Landscape

5.2.2 The majority of sites are expected to have negative or neutral effects with regards to landscape, due to loss of some features that are characteristic of the respective Local Character Area or changing views from sensitive receptors. Development of brownfield sites in Aylesbury and Buckingham may have positive landscape impacts, by redeveloping disused and derelict sites.

SA Objective 3: Biodiversity

5.2.3 Some sites are assessed as having negative effects on biodiversity, due to the fact that all sites may contain habitats or species of principal importance and/or sites designated for nature conservation. The majority of the remaining sites are assessed as having neutral effects, as aerial photography and site visits suggest little or no obvious biodiversity value at these sites.

SA Objective 4: Climate change mitigation

5.2.4 Sites are assessed as having negative, uncertain or neutral effects against climate change mitigation. This is dependent on whether a site has good sustainable transport links (including public transport) and whether there are any existing congestion issues on nearby roads that are likely to be exacerbated by development.

SA Objective 5: Climate change adaptation

5.2.5 Sites are assessed as having primarily positive effects with regards to climate change adaptation. This is due to the fact that most sites are not at risk of flooding. Those sites assessed as negative against this objective may be at risk of either fluvial or surface water flooding.

SA Objective 6: Natural resources

5.2.6 Sites are assessed as having primarily uncertain or negative effects with regards to natural resources. Development of some sites would lead to sterilisation of mineral resources. At other sites, development may lead to a loss of best and most versatile agricultural land. Development of brownfield sites performed positively against this objective, as redevelopment of these sites reduces the need to develop greenfield land.

SA Objective 7: Pollution

5.2.7 All sites are assessed as having neutral effects with regards to pollution. This is due to the fact that site uses are unlikely to exacerbate any pollution issues.

SA Objective 8: Waste

5.2.8 The majority of sites perform neutrally with regards to waste, as new housing is not expected to generate more waste per person, in the operational phase, than existing housing. In addition development is expected to approach waste in line with the Buckinghamshire Minerals and Waste Core Strategy24. The implications of development of existing employment sites and development of new employment sites on waste is uncertain, as waste generation depends on the types of industry being replaced or provided.

SA Objective 9: Transport

5.2.9 SA Objective 9, transport, generally performs negatively for Aylesbury and Buckingham and small rural villages. This is due to congestion in the larger settlements and lack of public transport links in the smaller settlements. Other sites demonstrate mixed assessment results depending on proximity to good public transport links.

SA Objective 10: Housing

5.2.10 The housing objective has been assessed as positive for all site allocations, due to the fact all sites would contribute to meeting the housing demand for Aylesbury, including the provision of affordable housing.

SA Objective 11: Health and wellbeing

5.2.11 The majority of sites assessed perform poorly with regards to health. This is because few sites have good access to both healthcare and recreational space. Sites in and around Aylesbury town generally perform most positively with regards to health, as there is a greater number of health facilities in the town and easier access to recreational facilities, including a leisure centre.

SA Objective 12: Economy

24 Buckinghamshire County Council (2012) Buckinghamshire Minerals and Waste Core Strategy Development Plan Document: Minerals and Waste Local Development Framework

5.2.12 The majority of sites have been assessed as neutral against employment. This is due to the fact that most sites are allocated for housing only. Sites perform positively where mixed development will deliver new employment and negatively where existing employment may be lost to development.

5.3 Next steps

5.3.1 This report represents the latest stage of the SA process. This report will be published alongside the Draft Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan for consultation in July and August 2016.

5.3.2 Any comments on this SA report should be directed through Aylesbury Vale District Council. The SA process will take on-board any comments on this report and use them to furnish the next report with greater detail and accuracy.

5.3.3 The next stage of assessment will involve assessing the Draft VALP as a whole. This will be the start of preparation of an Environmental Report will begin, also known as a full SA report. This Environmental Report will include all of the legal requirements set out in Annex 1 of the SEA Directive.
