  • Report on the Trial Excavations at Wards Coombe, Ivinghoe. 1971. B
    REPORT ON THE TRIAL EXCAVATIONS AT WARDS COOMBE, IVINGHOE. 1971. B. R. K. DUNNETT. B.A. During 1970 woodland clearance on National Trust property at Wards Coombe, near Ivinghoe Beacon (Grid Reference S.P. 973155), revealed a small but pronounced earthwork. It comprised a penannular bank, open on the south-eastern side, with an internal ditch enclosing an area 50 metres in diameter.1 The site was re-planted and permission was given for small trial trenches to be cut by the Bucks County Museum between the rows of sap- lings in August 1971.2 The site occupies relatively flat ground at the head of a small dry valley facing north-east across the upper and now dry valley of the River Gade to- wards the Dunstable Downs. It lies at the base of a wooded slope, £ mile east of the main chalk escarpment of the Chiltern Hills and the important prehis- toric trackway, the Icknield Way. (See Fig. 1.) The area is fairly rich in Iron Age and Roman discoveries. The nearby hill- fort on Ivinghoe Beacon has been dated to the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age transition, while later Iron Age sites are known from Lodge Hill Saunder- ton, Pitstone, Bulpit Hill, Ellesborough and Marsden, all within a radius of 15 miles of the site. Roman finds are equally plentiful, and in the immediate vicinity Roman farmsteads are known at Moneyburgh Hill and Pitstone, while the course of the Romanised Icknield Way runs only 300 metres west of the site.3 THE EXCAVATION It must be stressed that this cannot be regarded as a definitive report on the site.

  • ED113 Housing Land Supply Soundness Document (June 2018)
    1 VALP Housing Land Supply Soundness document June 2018 Introduction 1.1 This document accompanies the Submission Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (VALP). It sets out the housing trajectory and housing land supply position based on the housing requirement and allocations within the Pre Submission VALP. It shows that a 5 year housing land supply can be demonstrated at the point of adoption. 1.2 This housing trajectory and housing land supply calculation is different to that in the latest published Housing Land Supply Position Statement (currently June 2018). It takes into account the redistribution of unmet need to Aylesbury Vale which is a ‘policy on’ matter. It is not appropriate to use ‘policy on’ figures for the purposes of calculating a 5 year housing land supply in the context of determining individual planning applications because they have not been tested through examination and found sound. 1.3 The ‘policy off’ approach to calculating the five year supply for application decisions has been endorsed by recent inspectors.1 In the Waddesdon appeal (July 2017) the inspector concluded at paragraph 81 that: “Although there may be some distribution from other districts to Aylesbury Vale, and although what this figure is might be emerging, at this stage in the local plan process any redistribution would represent the application of policy and thus represent a ‘policy on’ figure. As the Courts have made clear this is not appropriate for consideration in a Section 78 appeal and I am therefore satisfied that for this appeal the OAN figure for Aylesbury Vale should be 965 dwellings per annum”.
