  • Tring Team Parish Profile for Part Time Team Vicar 2016
    Tring Team Parish Profile for part time Team Vicar 2016 Tring Team Parish General Information Summary The Tring Team Parish consists of five churches on the edge of the Chilterns. Tring itself is a market town of 14,000 with the church of St Peter and St Paul, and there are four village churches: All Saints, Long Marston; St Cross, Wilstone; St Mary’s, Puttenham; and St John the Baptist, Aldbury, all of which have a modern liberal outlook, but worship in a wide range of styles. As a parish we have been working with Tring School over a number of years as a central part of our mission. The school has 1,500 students of whom very few come from a worshipping background. This puts us in an interesting place where there is genuine crossover between the church and the secular world, with new insights and challenges coming from this dynamic. This is central to our mission and we are working out how to engage with new families whilst keeping faith with those who have grown up in the church. We are located in the Chilterns in an area of outstanding natural beauty, where Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire meet as the Chiltern Hills merge into the Vale of Aylesbury. The A41 links to the M25 eleven minutes away and the frequent train service Tring Station to Euston making the area a very successful and extremely buoyant residential location. There is much encouraging activity happening in our churches and many things to celebrate. We have some huge congregations across the Team (c6,500 attending all Christmas services, 800+ people in our

Our response, which begins on the following page, starts with an overall summary of our position on the draft local plan, and then gives more detail with regard to particular sections, policies and proposals (referenced and in plan order). Each element indicates whether our statement is in support, objection or as a comment. We did not find either the online portal or the downloadable pro forma to be conducive to an effective response, and we trust that this will be acceptable. There is much to be commended about the plan, but we also have serious reservations. We are, however, strongly supportive of the council taking steps to continue progressing with consultation on the plan in these difficult times. It is essential to have an up-to-date plan in place at all times for the sustainable management of development in an area with such a potent combination of development pressures, regeneration aspirations and a sensitive environment. The council is to be commended for the steps it has taken to give stakeholders as much of an opportunity to comment on the current proposals as it can under the current circumstances.

  • Local Plan Emerging Strategy for Growth 2020-2038
    DELIVERY STRATEGIES Dacorum Emerging Strategy for Growth (2020 - 2038) 23 Delivery Strategies Introduction 23.1 We have prepared Delivery Strategies for each of the Borough’s towns and large villages and wider countryside. The role of these strategies is to set out how growth and development will be managed in each area. 23.2 Each strategy discusses key delivery requirements under a number of headings before going on to set out a series of policies for each of the Growth Areas. Associated site allocations within the Growth Areas can be found in the 'Proposal and Sites' chapter of the Plan. It is important that the Delivery Strategies are read alongside the policies contained in the Guiding Development section of the Plan, any Supplementary Planning Documents, the site specific requirements in the Proposals and Sites section of the Plan and the infrastructure requirements set out in the Draft Infrastructure Delivery Plan. Supporting Growth in the Delivery Strategies 23.3 Work on identifying the type and level of future infrastructure requirements to support the Delivery Strategies is ongoing. These requirements will be refined in the next stages of the Local Plan process. What is identified in the Emerging Strategy for Growth reflects our current understanding and we hope that publishing a draft Infrastructure Delivery Plan and Sustainable Transport Plans alongside this Plan will inform discussion on the Local Plan. 23.4 Our intention is to incorporate infrastructure requirements into the relevant Growth Areas either as standalone allocations or to be incorporated into specific Site Allocations as required when we publish the next stage of the Plan.

  • Understanding Flood Risk in Dacorum Borough
    1 Appendix C: Understanding flood risk in Dacorum Borough 1.1 Dacorum Borough Dacorum Borough covers an area approximately 212km² and has a population of approximately 153,0001. There are 25 wards within the borough, the largest of which is Apsley and Corner Hall with a population of approximately 10,2002. Other sizeable wards include Bovingdon, Flaunden & Chipperfield, Chaulden & Warners End and Leverstock Green. The Chilterns dominate the north of the borough amongst agricultural land. The southern and eastern areas are urbanised by small villages and hamlets with the two large towns of Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted. 1.2 Hydrology The principal watercourses (Appendix A) in the borough are as follows: • River Gade (source located in the central band of the borough) • River Bulbourne (source located near Northchurch) • River Ver (begins in the grounds of Lynch Lodge, Kensworth Lynch) • Tring Bourne (minor watercourse located to the north-west) There are numerous tributaries to these watercourses including Main Rivers, The Grand Union Canal, smaller Ordinary Watercourses and unnamed watercourses. A summary of watercourses within the Borough is provided in Appendix A. Following the EA’s Management Catchments, Dacorum Borough lies within the Thames and Chilterns South catchment in the north-west, and the Colne catchment which forms the majority of the borough. The Thame and Colne are the EA Operational Catchments within the borough. Average rainfall within the borough at Rothamsted No2 (nearest climate station) indicates average annual rainfall of 712mm which is relatively dry compared to the rest of the UK3. 1.3 Topography The topography of the Borough primarily comprises a plateau of elevated land which form the Chilterns to the north and north west of the borough linked with the valley slopes of the Rive Gade and River Bulbourne.
