Within Aylesbury Vale; the demolition of all existing farm buildings (except farmhouse) and the development of up to 1,200 dwellings, one 2 forms of entry primary school, associated highway infrastructure including one proposed vehicular accesses with the A4146, one proposed pedestrian and cycle bridge crossing the river Ouzel, multi-functional public open space, informal amenity space, children's play space, playing fields, allotments, surface water attenuation and strategic landscaping, and associated services and utilities infrastructure. AT Land At Eaton Leys, Galley Lane, Little Brickhill I am writing following the publication of the report to the Development Control Committee on 14 November 2016 regarding the above planning application. As you are aware, there are submitted 2 applications for a development which crosses the boundary between our respective authorities, with upto 600 dwellings in Milton Keynes Council’s administrative boundary and upto 1200 dwellings within Aylesbury Vale District Council and Buckinghamshire County Council’s administrative areas, together with related facilities and infrastructure. The applications have been the subject of considerable discussions between Milton Keynes and Aylesbury Vale District Council’s officers for many months however Aylesbury Vale District Council were not aware until 17 October 2016 that a report was being prepared for this particular committee date to consider the application within Milton Keynes nor that the likely recommendation was for approval, subject to a S106 agreement. We had expected to agree co ordination of reporting to committee in the spirit of a collaborative approach. It therefore has come as a surprise to officers and members of this Council as well as that of officers at Buckinghamshire County Council, and I am therefore writing on behalf of Aylesbury Vale District Council to make representations for the members of the committee’s consideration. The Gateway, Gatehouse Road, Aylesbury Bucks HP19 8FF DX 4130 Aylesbury www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk (9) I do not consider that the officer report accurately reflects this position as set out in paragraphs 5.61 and 5.62 . Aylesbury Vale District Council have sought to take a proactive approach to identify all of the relevant planning issues and to seek to resolve those matters where appropriate and not to frustrate or delay a decision being made on this application. Whilst I fully accept that each authority is responsible for determining the development within its own boundary, the Council would wish to draw members of the committees attention to the concerns which Aylesbury Vale District Council have which apply equally to that part of the development within Milton Keynes jurisdiction. The Environmental Statement: The Environmental Statement (ES) assesses the proposal on the basis of the impact of the proposal across the whole of the site. It fails to consider the different scenarios of a stand alone development within each authorities boundaries. This applies across all the assessments, however we would draw particular attention to that of the landscape and visual impact and also highway impact. This is fundamental to the consideration of the application as the mitigation measures needed to attempt to mitigate or minimise the effect to an acceptable level relies on mitigation outside of the Milton Keynes boundary (MKC) and has an affect on Aylesbury Vale District Council (AVDC). This has not been adequately addressed in the report. Landscape and visual impact: The ES masterplan and accompanying parameter plans show the district boundary runs across the middle of a residential land use block, with 2 and 3 storey development right up to the district boundary. The landscape strategy does not show any landscape mitigation or buffer along the district boundary. There is nothing in the report that addresses this properly. The land itself lies within a designated Area of Attractive Landscape (AAL) to which policy RA8 of the Aylesbury Vale District Local Plan applies. This states: The Proposals Map defines Areas of Attractive Landscape, identified in the County Structure Plan, and Local Landscape Areas, defined by the District Council, which have particular landscape features and qualities that are considered appropriate for particular protection. Development proposals in these areas should respect their landscape character. Development that adversely affects this character will not be permitted, unless appropriate mitigation measures can be secured. Where permission is granted the Council will impose conditions or seek planning obligations to ensure the mitigation of any harm caused to the landscape interest. It is appreciated that this designation and policy does not apply to the northern part of the site within MKC, however there is no distinction in landscape character terms between the landscape within MKC and that in AVDC, it is all part of the same landscape character area. There are clear views across the land in each authority area to and from the AAL, and the value of the landscape should be regarded in the same way and is still a valued landscape in NPPF terms. Page 85 of the report sets out the comments of Milton Keynes own landscape officer who advises that (10) “consideration must be given to the inclusion of a substantial buffer landscaping along the joint boundary….. as the current layout relies heavily on permission being granted on the adjoining land in AVDC”. The report appears to down play these comments at paragraph 5.57 and refers to “a buffer between the two administrative areas if considered appropriate. A buffer in this location would help to reduce the impact of the development on the neighbouring landscape designation.” No buffer is indicated along this district boundary on the masterplan or parameter plans which form part of the ES, and the development as indicated could result in a harsh abrupt edge to the development. The provision of a landscape strip or hedgerow would be wholly inadequate to mitigate this effect, and any such mitigation would require a substantial buffer as advised by your own landscape officer. Even if such a buffer is provided this would be unlikely to overcome the significant adverse impact on the land within AVDC as a valued landscape. The ES and report to committee does not adequately deal with this as an issue and assess the harm from development taking place right up to the boundary with no mitigation. It therefore fails to provide any mitigation for this site to come forward independently of the land within AVDC. AVDC do not accept the findings of the LVIA contained within the ES on either landscape or visual impact. I consider that there would be a significant adverse effect on the land within AVDC which is designated an Area of Attractive Landscape and is a valued landscape in NPPF terms.

  • E-W Rail Position Paper
    RAIL FREIGHT GROUP (RFG) East-West Rail Position Paper 18 July 2017 RAIL FREIGHT GROUP (RFG) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The reopening of East West Rail link will play a vital role in supporting economic development of the Oxford-Cambridge corridor, including new housing and infrastructure. Rail freight has a significant role to play in supporting and servicing that development, in supply of construction materials and in facilitating efficient logistics for consumer goods. Estimates suggest that some 85,000+ homes are planned in the corridor over the next twenty years. As each freight train can move the equivalent of 30 houses worth of building materials, and keep up to 75 lorries off the roads, it is clear that encouraging rail freight must be a key imperative. To demonstrate the potential of the route, we have produced a position paper outlining where rail freight is already successfully operating, and where the reopened route offers opportunities for growth. Yet this cannot happen unless rail freight is planned from the outset, particularly given that new and different approaches to funding, construction and operation are being considered. We therefore urge Government to ensure that rail freight is a key part of the development of this route. EAST - WEST RAIL: FREIGHT POTENTIAL 1. Route and Infrastructure capability This study has assumed the route of East- West Rail (E-WR) phase one to be Oxford North Junc. – Bicester Gavray Junc. - Claydon LNE junc. – Bletchley Flyover Junc. – Bedford St. Johns – Bedford Midland. The route of Phase Two is, at present, unclear but will link the Phase One route at Bedford to Cambridge, with a link on to the ECML in the St.

These areas have their own objectives and standards. Article 4 of the Water Framework Directive requires Member States to achieve compliance with the standards and objectives set for each protected area by 22 December 2015, unless otherwise specified in the Community legislation under which the protected area was established. Some areas may require special protection under more than one EC Directive or may have additional (surface water and/or groundwater) objectives. In these cases, all the objectives and standards must be met. Article 6 requires Member States to establish a register of protected areas. The types of protected areas that must be included in the register are: • areas designated for the abstraction of water for human consumption (Drinking Water Protected Areas); • areas designated for the protection of economically significant aquatic species (Freshwater Fish and Shellfish); • bodies of water designated as recreational waters, including areas designated as Bathing Waters; • nutrient-sensitive areas, including areas identified as Nitrate Vulnerable Zones under the Nitrates Directive or areas designated as sensitive under Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD); • areas designated for the protection of habitats or species where the maintenance or improvement of the status of water is an important factor in their protection including 1 relevant Natura 2000 sites.

  • A421 Dualling Upgrade Into Milton Keynes Complete
    A421 dualling upgrade into Milton Keynes complete In partnership with Milton Keynes Council and the South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership (SEMLEP) we pleased to announce that works are complete on our project to upgrade a key section of the A421 road into a dual carriageway, which means that drivers can now enjoy a faster and easier route around Central Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes. The 3km of the road has been upgraded to better link Junction 13 of the M1 motorway in Central Bedfordshire with Milton Keynes. The stretch runs from the roundabouts by the junction up to the new Eagles Rest housing development and the Altitude Magna Park logistics and distribution site in Milton Keynes. The A421 forms a key section of the strategic east-west travel corridor and helps underpin the future of the Oxford-Cambridge Arc. Enhancing east-west connectivity is a key component of the enabling infrastructure which will help to create opportunities for the wider area to become the UK’s innovation region, delivering growth in science and technology. As well as easing congestion, the upgraded A421 will help improve access to planned developments in Central Bedfordshire, such as the 5,000 homes proposed in new villages in the Marston Vale area (in our Local Plan), as well as 40 hectares of employment land. Previously there were no safe routes for pedestrians beside the A421, so we built a new cycleway which stretches along the length of the newly dualled A421 and a footbridge over it. The new cycleway is part of a future larger cycle network.
