Ivinghoe Parish Council IVINGHOE PARISH COUNCIL Parish Office, 70 Westoning Road, Harlington, Bedfordshire LU5 6PD Parish Council Clerk – Maxine Hayes – email; [email protected] Tel: 07960605393 Mr A Kirkham Forward Plans Aylesbury Vale District Council The Gateway Gatehouse Road Aylesbury Buckinghamshire HP19 8FF Dear Mr Kirkham Application for Neighbourhood Area Ivinghoe Parish Council has resolved to develop a Neighbourhood Development Plan for the Parish of Ivinghoe. I am writing to you to apply for the designation of the Parish as a Neighbourhood Area under Regulation 5 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012. We are required by this regulation to supply you, our local planning authority, with the following documentation or information (see below): 1. A map identifying the area that we wish to define as our Neighbourhood Area 2. A statement as to why this area is the appropriate area for our parish 3. Confirmation that Ivinghoe Parish Council is the relevant qualifying body to act as applicant for this Neighbourhood Area for the purposes of Section 61G of the 1990 Act The map enclosed with this letter is of the existing parish boundary and this is the area that we would like to apply for as our Neighbourhood Area. The area covered by the parish boundary map, takes in the village of Ivinghoe, the hamlet of Ivinghoe Aston and a small number of properties and associated land in Ringshall. After much consideration and with the aim of achieving a success at referendum stage, the Parish Council deems only the area within the parish boundary to be suitable for the development of our Neighbourhood Development Plan. We are aware that it has been suggested that Ivinghoe Parish Council and Pitstone Parish Council develop a joint plan. Ivinghoe Parish Council have discussed the possibility of developing a joint plan, however, the members of the Council consider that due to the very distinct nature of the settlements of Ivinghoe and Pitstone and the lack of ‘connection’ for the residents of Ivinghoe Aston with the village of Pitstone, that a joint development plan would not best reflect the issues contained within each designated area. For example, with regard the lack of ‘connection’ between Ivinghoe Aston and Pitstone, many of the children in Ivinghoe Aston attend Edlesborough Primary School as opposed to Brookmead School in Ivinghoe. We have however, acknowledged that a close working relationship between Ivinghoe Parish Council and Pitstone Parish Council is important due to the fact that the villages of Ivinghoe and Pitstone share many community facilities. Please be assured that both councils intend to develop a clear plan of communication between the two, to facilitate the progress of both Neighbourhood Development Plans. Finally, Ivinghoe Parish Council confirms that it is a relevant body for the purposes of acting in relation to a Neighbourhood Area application, as per the Localism Act 2011 Section 61F. It was agreed at our council meeting on Tuesday 7 October 2014 that Ivinghoe Parish Council wishes to implement a Neighbourhood Development Plan and this application acts as the first part of this process. We would like to conclude by stating that we look forward to working with AVDC in the development of our plan and our intention to ensure that our plan is generally in conformity with the emerging Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding our application and I would be very grateful if you would be kind enough to confirm receipt of this application. Yours sincerely, Maxine Hayes - Parish Clerk Cc: Bob Saintey, Chair Pitstone Parish Council Cllr, Avril Davies Cllr, Chris Poll ± Ivinghoe 0 500 1,000 2,000 Metres © Crown Copyright and database right 2014.

  • Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a Resource Assessment
    Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a resource assessment Inheritance Mobility Although Neolithic populations are thought to have had continued mobility, more and more evidence for Neolithic settlement has come to light. In Buckinghamshire the most important evidence comes from excavations in advance of the construction of Eton Rowing Course (ERC) and the Maidenhead to Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation Scheme (MWEFAS), mainly in the parish of Dorney in South Bucks on the Thames. The evidence points to intensive use of the area by people in the Early Neolithic but it is not certain that it represents year-round sedentary occupation rather than seasonal re-use (Allen et al 2004). Other evidence does point to continued mobility, such as the artefact scatters at Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham (Mitchell 2004) and East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990) for example, reflecting visits over a long period of time. Persistent places Mesolithic persistent places continue to have meaning for Early and later Neolithic populations. These persistent places include East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990, 18) and Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age activity at Chessvale Bowling Club nearby (Halsted 2006, 23-8). Another persistent place seems to have been the lower reaches of the River Colne. Recent excavations at the Sanderson Site, Denham (Halsey 2005) continued the activity from nearby Three Ways Wharf, Uxbridge (Lewis 1991). Other persistent places include the attractive river valley location at Bancroft in Milton Keynes (Williams 1993, 5), and Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham, where the River Thame meets one of its tributaries (Mitchell 2004, 1). These persistent places may have been the basis of evolving ideas about land tenure.
