The main objective of the ETI is to define and evaluate the transport impacts resulting from the potential development in the District and identify and exclude any options that would have an unacceptable impact on the road network, even with mitigation measures in place. In undertaking the ETI, Atkins has consulted with the Highways Agency (HA) and Buckinghamshire County Council (BCC) as well as working closely with South Bucks District Council (SBDC). The scope of the ETI, including the methodology and assumptions has been agreed with the Highways Agency at the project outset. The main body of this report covers an analysis of the baseline conditions, policy context and a review of studies as well as a summary of the evaluation in relation to Future Baseline conditions and the potential development in South Bucks District. Appendices to this report include figures supporting the evaluation. This report should be read in conjunction with the evaluation’s Report of Evidence, which describes the methodology and assumptions applied in the ETI as well as data and other evidence that supports it. A key element in the evaluation of development impact on transport infrastructure has been the analysis of road link capacities - a bespoke spreadsheet model has been created for this purpose. The ETI also includes multi-modal trip generation analyses and evaluation of impacts on sustainable modes of transport. The analysis of Baseline and Future Baseline conditions indicates that there is and will be significant pressure on existing transport infrastructure. Results of this analysis show that a number of links within the Study Area would be over capacity in the period of assessment even without considering the developments being evaluated. However it must be noted that a robust approach, following guidelines from the HA, has been applied where traffic growth factors have assumed a significant increase in background traffic growth due to population and economic growth. Two main development options, Option 1 and 2, have been assessed for South Bucks District which include different volumes of housing, based around broadly the same locations within the District. In addition, three sub-options for Option 2 have been assessed which include the opportunity sites being delivered as well as other key development areas. Conclusions from the evaluation generally highlight the importance of new development making use and optimising existing infrastructure. National, Regional and Local policies recommend that future development makes use of existing transport infrastructure as much as possible in order to avoid the reliance on the private car and encourage sustainable modes of transport. Conclusions from the evaluation indicate that the potential developments associated with the South Bucks Core Strategy will have an impact on the transport networks within the Study Area which will add to existing problems. However they are not shown to have a significant impact on the predicted capacity of the motorway links, including the slip roads, except at Junction 1 of the M40 where a large proportion of the additional traffic is a result of general background traffic growth. Infrastructure upgrades may be required at this location towards the end of the plan period and potential funding sources would need to be investigated. Due to the impact on the road network from development in South Bucks, mitigation measures to promote sustainable travel would be recommended. A revised highway impact scenario has been undertaken with a predicted mode shift away from the private car, which has been assessed to demonstrate the impact with mitigation measures in place. It is expected that mitigation measures would be required for all development options, especially with the background traffic growth taken account of as is the case in this analysis. These measures should focus on promoting travel by alternative means to the private car, through Travel Plans, with the focus towards making travel by sustainable transport modes more attractive than currently the case in the area. 5064105/SBDC Transport Evaluation_revF.doc 4 Evaluation of Transport Impacts The revised traffic impact assessment showed a small reduction in trips on all links including the Strategic Highway Network, therefore reducing the impact on capacities to a minimum extent. It is apparent that measures to improve highway capacity on the road network in South Bucks may be required in some locations, although this would require further work at the detailed planning application stage. Overall the conclusions from this analysis show that whilst Option 1 would be most preferable from a transport perspective, options 1-2b could be delivered without an unacceptable impact on the road network with appropriate mitigation in place. Option 2c would require further work to evaluate the impact of the development with the proposed mitigation measures included in the analysis. 5064105/SBDC Transport Evaluation_revF.doc 5 Evaluation of Transport Impacts 1. Introduction 1.1 South Bucks District Council has commissioned Atkins Transport Planning & Management to prepare an Evaluation of Transport Impacts (ETI) that will inform their emerging Core Strategy. 1.2 The Core Strategy Development Plan Document will set out the vision, objectives and strategy for development in the District in accordance with the South East Plan. It will plan for the period up to 2026 and set out policies and proposals to guide future development in the area, and provide a framework which planning applications can be assessed against. 1.3 This evaluation gives a greater understanding of the local transport movements and the effects of wider traffic movement on the Strategic Highway network in, and around the District. In summary the objectives of the project are as follows: • Define and evaluate the transport impacts due to the potential development in the District; • Evaluate the likely transport impacts of the proposals in the emerging core strategy; and • Identify and exclude any areas in which mitigation measures are undeliverable. 1.4 In undertaking the ETI, we have consulted the Highways Agency (HA) and Buckinghamshire County Council (BCC) as well as worked closely with both Chiltern District Council (CDC) and South Bucks District Council (SBDC). The scope of the ETI, as well as its methodology and assumptions has been agreed with the HA, who have collaborated in ensuring that a robust evaluation was undertaken. Location 1.5 South Bucks District is located in south Buckinghamshire, just south of Chiltern District. Slough and Maidenhead are located to the south and south west respectively, the London Borough of Hillingdon to the east, Wycombe District to the west and Aylesbury to the north-west. 1.6 The Study Area covers the whole area of both Chiltern and South Bucks Districts and strategic highway junctions serving the district areas as the study began as a joint one between the two councils.

  • 1 Buckinghamshire; a Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett
    Buckinghamshire; A Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett 1 Chapter One: Origins to 1603 Although it is generally accepted that a truly national system of defence originated in England with the first militia statutes of 1558, there are continuities with earlier defence arrangements. One Edwardian historian claimed that the origins of the militia lay in the forces gathered by Cassivelaunus to oppose Caesar’s second landing in Britain in 54 BC. 1 This stretches credulity but military obligations or, more correctly, common burdens imposed on able bodied freemen do date from the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the seventh and eight centuries. The supposedly resulting fyrd - simply the old English word for army - was not a genuine ‘nation in arms’ in the way suggested by Victorian historians but much more of a selective force of nobles and followers serving on a rotating basis. 2 The celebrated Burghal Hidage dating from the reign of Edward the Elder sometime after 914 AD but generally believed to reflect arrangements put in place by Alfred the Great does suggest significant ability to raise manpower at least among the West Saxons for the garrisoning of 30 fortified burghs on the basis of men levied from the acreage apportioned to each burgh. 3 In theory, it is possible that one in every four of all able-bodied men were liable for such garrison service. 4 Equally, while most surviving documentation dates only from 1 G. J. Hay, An Epitomised History of the Militia: The Military Lifebuoy, 54 BC to AD 1905 (London: United Services Gazette, 1905), 10.

  • Late Medieval Buckinghamshire
    SOLENT THAMES HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH FRAMEWORK RESOURCE ASSESSMENT MEDIEVAL BUCKINGHAMSHIRE (AD 1066 - 1540) Kim Taylor-Moore with contributions by Chris Dyer July 2007 1. Inheritance Domesday Book shows that by 1086 the social and economic frameworks that underlay much of medieval England were already largely in place. The great Anglo Saxon estates had fragmented into the more compact units of the manorial system and smaller parishes had probably formed out of the large parochia of the minster churches. The Norman Conquest had resulted in the almost complete replacement of the Anglo Saxon aristocracy with one of Norman origin but the social structure remained that of an aristocratic elite supported by the labours of the peasantry. Open-field farming, and probably the nucleated villages usually associated with it, had become the norm over large parts of the country, including much of the northern part of Buckinghamshire, the most heavily populated part of the county. The Chilterns and the south of the county remained for the most part areas of dispersed settlement. The county of Buckinghamshire seems to have been an entirely artificial creation with its borders reflecting no known earlier tribal or political boundaries. It had come into existence by the beginning of the eleventh century when it was defined as the area providing support to the burh at Buckingham, one of a chain of such burhs built to defend Wessex from Viking attack (Blair 1994, 102-5). Buckingham lay in the far north of the newly created county and the disadvantages associated with this position quickly became apparent as its strategic importance declined.
