This Development Plan, the most important yet produced for our District, reflects - even anticipates - change in a way that earlier plans did not come close to doing. Yet the Council's corporate mission - to make Aylesbury Vale the best possible place for people to live and work - remains a timeless guiding principle. So comprehensive is this District Local Plan for Aylesbury Vale that it will affect the lives of people over the next seven years to 2011. There are two main themes: sustainability and accessibility. Sustainability, in its purest sense, requires us to take no more from the environment than we put back. The Council has striven to minimise consumption of natural resources by looking carefully at the demands development makes on land, air and water, and its impact on the natural and historical environment.

INTRODUCTION This study of Thomley (S P 631090) covers the period 1086-1349, with emphasis on the 13th and early 14th centuries. ILs main purpose is to explain the eventual desertion of the settlement through an examination of land-tenure and local society. While there are indications that smallholders, even those with half a yardland or less, were not badly off, it is equally clear that the village was declining in this period: between 1279 and 1377 the recorded population dropped by at least a third. Thomley's final extinction lay in the 16th-century enclosures, but its decay can probably be traced back to earlier circumstances: its marginal position between two larger villages, the lack of any focus such as a church or market, and a tendency for holdings to pass into the hands of outside proprietors.

  • Ickford Parish Council
    Ickford Parish Council The Oxford-Cambridge Expressway This article is to raise awareness about the proposed Oxford-Cambridge Expressway. Planning of the proposed new road so far Much has been written about the proposed new road and its possible impact on Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. The Government’s perspective is given in many documents, and two key ones can be found here https://www.nic.org.uk/publications/partnering-prosperity-new-deal-cambridge-milton-keynes-oxford-arc/ https://www.nic.org.uk/publications/future-development-concepts/ The planning that has taken place so far has mostly been carried out by Highways England (a Government company) in secret. There is a list of registered stakeholders (including county councils, businesses, wildlife trusts etc.) who are invited to periodic presentations by Highways England, but there has not been consultation of any sort with the affected communities. Local Councils should have alerted Local Parishes which in turn should have alerted their parishioners, but this hasn’t happened robustly, and in some cases, the Local Councils claim to have been kept in the dark. In short, there has been no regular flow of information from the planners to the affected communities. There were some meetings in November for Parish Councillors and registered Stakeholders to attend, but none of these involved the local communities. Indeed, most communities and Parish Councils do not feel empowered to, or know how to, contribute and try to affect Highways England’s planning. Across the arc of the corridor, the Government wants to build one million new homes by 2050, housing about 2 million more people.
