  • Lca 13.5 Misbourne Upper Chalk River Valley
    LCA 13.5 MISBOURNE UPPER CHALK RIVER VALLEY LCA in Context LCA XX LCA 13.5 MISBOURNE UPPER CHALK RIVER VALLEY KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Shallow chalk valley, gently sloping and indented by smaller dry valleys to produce smoothly rolling valley sides, with a relatively wide, flat bottomed floodplain. Valley sides steepening in the upper reaches. • On the valley sides the underlying chalk, and free draining lime-rich soils predominately support arable cultivation, with some calcareous grassland and woodland on higher slopes. • Ancient and semi-natural woodland associated with higher slopes and dry valleys, creating a visual boundary of the area, including mixed, broadleaved and coniferous woodland, which possess significant biodiversity and ecological value. • The valley floor is characterised by rough grassland, permanent pasture and paddocks, and divided into smaller scale fields, by low hedges and wooden post and wire fencing. • The narrow and gently flowing Misbourne River, meanders down the valley, with occasional ponds often located near farmsteads or small villages. The river often runs unnoticeably through this lower landscape. • A string of hamlets and farmsteads exist along the valley floor, with nucleated rows of larger settlements focused along roads. The larger village of Great Missenden is situated in the northern part of the area. Distinctive churches are often a feature of villages. • Post medieval parkland at Shardeloes and Missenden Abbey. Shardeloes House is a visually prominent feature on the valley side. • Varying patterns of field enclosure, with a mix of regular and irregular field boundaries. Large scale fields dominate the valley sides, with smaller scale field divisions along the valley floor.

Burke invited members of the public in attendance to speak. Jane Fallon spoke regarding CC/0059/19 HGSS. Jane attended the Planning Meeting held on 11th June 2020 as LMPC had not been made aware of the meeting as it was held under Wycombe Planning and not Chiltern. Jane spoke for the three minutes allowed at this meeting to raise concerns which are shared by many residents regarding the travel plan presented by HGSS. Prior to that meeting Jane Fallon had also been in touch with Hazlemere Parish Council who also had not been informed of the meeting. She advised LMPC that her research into the permissions allegedly received by HGSS for park and stride demonstrated that three sites had not been approached by the school and had no knowledge of the proposals. The Head of HGSS has led the planning department to believe that these sites are already functioning and that there are no cars from the school parking in Parish Piece as a result.
