Scope This Consultation Statement has been prepared to fulfil the legal obligations of the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012. Section 15(2). Part 5 of the Regulations sets out what a Consultation Statement should contain: a) details of the persons and bodies who were consulted about the proposed neighbourhood development plan; b) explains how they were consulted; c) summarises the main issues and concerns raised by the persons consulted; d) describes how these issues and concerns have been considered and, where relevant, addressed in the proposed neighbourhood development plan. 2. Aims The aims of the Buckland Neighbourhood Plan consultation process were:- - to involve as much of the community as possible throughout all consultation stages of the Plan development to enable the Plan to reflect the views of local people and other stakeholders, from the start of the Neighbourhood Planning process; - To ensure that consultation events took place at critical points in the process where decisions needed to be taken; - To engage with as wide a range of people as possible, using a variety of approaches and communication and consultation techniques; and - To ensure that the results of these consultations were fed back to local people and available to read (in both hard copy and via the Parish Council’s website) as soon as possible after the consultation events. 3. Background Following the Localism Act 2011, AVDC urged parishes to decide how they wished to grow over the next 20 years. Buckland Parish Council considered the facts as presented by AVDC . It was agreed that the existing Parish Appraisal, being dated 1991, was in need of updating and a Neighbourhood Plan was the route to go down. The Parish Council applied to AVDC on 13 November 2013, to agree the neighbourhood area. This was agreed by AVDC on 31st January 2014 as the parish boundary. (Appendix 1) Page 3 Buckland Parish Neighbourhood Plan – Consultation Statement 4. Stages 4.1 First Public Consultation 18th January 2014 – Buckland Village Hall Titled, “Have your say” A letter of invitation to attend the first public consultation was mailed to every household in the parish, using the electoral roll to identify every correct address. Information was put up on all three noticeboards, the Parish Council website and emailed via a parish email list, explaining what the Neighbourhood Plan was about and the importance of parishioners’ input into the process. (Appendix2) Attendees were invited to put ideas and comments under various headings (eg Environment, Businesses & Economy, Roads and Transportation, Open spaces, Footpaths & Bridleways, Design, Housing). (Appendix 3) Suggestions for a vision for Buckland were invited along with invitations to join the steering group. Upon analysing the main concerns and comments, it became apparent that the areas to form the basis of the Draft Planning Policies for the Neighbourhood Plan would be:- Concerns:- Later addressed under:- - Development within and outside the Conservation Area Draft Policy BP1 and BP15 - Protection of Green Spaces Draft Policy BP2 and BP5 - Distinctive local character Draft Policy BP3, BP11 and BP15 - Developing on boundaries Draft Policy BP4 and BP15 - Infill housing development Draft Policy BP4, BP6, BP8 and BP15 - Small scale businesses Draft Policy BP9 and BP10 - Provision of car parking Draft Policy BP12 - Protection trees and hedgerows Draft Policy BP16 - Footpaths and rights of way Draft Policy BP16 - Environment Draft Policy BP16 - Roads and transportation Project 1 4.2 Conservation Area Review The original Conservation Area document was dated 1974, which was considered by the Parish Council to be in need of updating. AVDC were asked to do the review and carried out their consultation in September/October 2014, with their formal adoption in December 2014. (Appendix 4) The lack of a children’s play area was raised by several respondees. The Parish Council asked a local farmer if he would wish to donate, or sell a parcel of land within the Village, but no positive response was received. The Parish Council owns a parcel of land, outside the Village, formerly used as allotments, and has discussed using this as an area of public open space, including a play area. This land is within the AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), so would need careful design. Page 4 Buckland Parish Neighbourhood Plan – Consultation Statement 4.3 Parish Housing Stock and Needs Survey November – December 2014 The aim of this Housing Survey was to determine current housing stock and the needs of the Parish. A questionnaire (Appendix 5) was sent by mail to every household in the Parish, placed on the Parish Council website and sent out on the village email list. Included in every deliver, was a reply paid envelope to encourage returns. Responses were received from only 30% of the households. Unfortunately, upon analysis, it became apparent that these figures were skewed towards the older age ranges, so the housing information was taken from the figures in the 2001 and 2011 census for Buckland. (Appendix 7) and the Buckland Fact Pack (Appendix 8) the responses and results were fed into the Draft Planning policies. Several comments under the title, ‘What do you like/dislike about the Parish and what improvements could be made’, mirror those in the first public consultation in January 2014. (BP6, BP7, BP8 and the Housing section of the Neighbourhood Plan refer). 4.4 Pre-submission Consultation (Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012: Reg14) In February 2015 an announcement was displayed on the new Buckland Parish Council website, with a downloadable copy of the Draft Neighbourhood Plan, the Evidence Base and information on how and when representations should be made. This Draft Neighbourhood Plan was presented to the public and interested parties. The document was mailed to every house in the Parish, with an invitation to give feedback on 14th March 2015. Interested parties and statutory consultees were consulted with the same document. Documents were sent out either by email or post. Copies of the Draft Plan were available in the Village Hall, Church Foyer and the Parish Office. Should a resident wish to comment and were not able to attend in person, a comments slip and reply paid envelope was included. The Parish website, village email list and all noticeboards were posted with information and invitations to attend. (Appendix 8) Each Draft Policy and the Vision Statement headed up A3 sheets asking for comments. Aims and projects were included as well as ‘welcome’ handouts, titled, ‘What is today all about?’ (Appendix 9). Residents wrote their comments on the headed sheets. These comments were later transferred to a Word file (Appendix 10) The responses were mainly in agreement with the draft wording, some suggested amendments and additions. These were considered for inclusion in the draft policies, where appropriate. Overall the support was welcomed. The original Draft of BP9 – Housing Density, was subsequently removed as comments received were too ambiguous and unnecessary. Page 5 Buckland Parish Neighbourhood Plan – Consultation Statement Following a further six week period of statutory consultation; 15th May 2015 – 26th June 2015, all further responses were considered within the context of the Plan and public comments. Changes were made only where it was considered that the weight of residents’ needs outweighed singular comment. 5. Summary of Main Issues and Concerns Throughout the public consultations there was ongoing concern for retention of the rural parish status and regard for the green spaces that delineate the boundaries to the Parish. Building design that blended into the surrounding area would be welcomed, along with preservation of the important views and regard for the proximity to the Chilterns Conservation AONB. All new properties should have enough parking for residents and visitors as the width of the lanes limited ‘on street’ parking. Provision of a ‘public open space’ would be welcomed, affording residents’ a leisure area without concern for farmers’ livestock or crops. Concerns on speeding, road surface noise and broadband were high on residents’ agenda, these issues are being taken up with the appropriate authorities by the Parish Council.

A Neighbourhood Plan is only concerned with land use and development, not community facilities directly, although it can be used to propose detailed actions and use of S106 agreements by directing funding as suggested during the evidence gathering. This Plan is not intended to simply restrict or prevent development occurring in the Parish, but will focus the local Planning Authority’s attention on the wishes of us, the residents, in the development of Wendover. It will serve as an aide to help developers focus on the requisites for successful and appropriate development, sympathetic to our Parish, the history and setting within the Green Belt and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
