Aylesbury Fact Pack

1. Introduction

Purpose of the document

This Fact Pack document was initially produced in 2010 to help inform the town/ council about the characteristics of their parish for the ‘community view’ consultation. This consultation was undertaken early on in the preparation of the Vale of Aylesbury Plan as part of a bottom up approach embracing localism and aiming to get local communities more involved in the planning process. The town/parish council were asked to consult with their community on the following:

 The level of future housing and/or employment development up to 2031, including specific types of homes, employment and other development  The location, sizes and phasing of development  The types of infrastructure (social, community, physical) needed to enable development, including where it should be located  Any other issues relating to planning and development

This Fact Pack document has also been used to support neighbourhood planning by providing evidence for the context of the neighbourhood plan, including information on housing, employment, infrastructure and the environment.

This Fact Pack document has also been used to support the Vale of Aylesbury Plan Settlement Hierarchy Assessment. This forms part of the evidence that classifies settlements into different categories, where different levels of growth are apportioned to over the next 20 years.

The document also forms part of the background work relating to Neighbourhood Plans as well as the production of the Vale of Aylesbury Plan. The Fact Pack does not form planning policy for .

What the Fact Pack includes

The content of the Fact Pack reflects the size of the parish or town, providing the most detail for larger villages/towns which are likely to experience greater levels of growth, compared to smaller /villages which are likely to experience less growth. Smaller parish’s Fact Packs have a more limited content in the Fact Packs. Fact Packs for larger villages/towns identify the following information:

 Location and setting within the district (relationship to other settlements)  Story of place (how the parish has developed from its origins to the present day)  Issues facing the parish (e.g. infrastructure and local services deficits)  Social demographics (population, age profile, social groups, levels of deprivation and crime levels)

Page 3 of 69

Aylesbury Fact Pack

 Economic profile (allocated employment sites, change of use to employment looking back 5 years, sectors of employment, levels of economic activity, distances travelled to work and broadband speeds)  Local service provision (retail, healthcare, leisure, public open space, tourism, and education)  Housing profile (dwelling types, tenure, occupancy, past completions and commitments, average house prices, housing needs waiting list and gypsy and traveller sites)  Transport infrastructure (road network, cars per household, public transport provision)  Environmental constraints (maps to identify agricultural land quality, landscape sensitivities, biodiversity constraints, flooding and historic constraints)

Fact Packs for smaller parishes/villages identify the following information:

 Location and setting within the district (relationship to other settlements)  Social demographics (population and age profile)  Housing profile (dwelling types, tenure, occupancy, past completions and commitments, average house prices, housing needs waiting list and gypsy and traveller sites)  Economic profile (employment change of B use classes looking back 5 years, sectors of employment and levels of economic activity)  Issues facing the parish (e.g. infrastructure and local services deficits)  Environmental constraints (maps to identify agricultural land quality, landscape sensitivities, biological constraints, flooding and historic constraints) Where possible information in the Fact Pack has been supplemented with information from the town/parish council to draw upon local knowledge, particularly for the section on issues relating to the parish. Some town/parish councils have also published the document on their website for the community to view and use.

In addition to this Fact Pack, a district wide Fact Pack has been written to develop an understanding at the strategic level on the availability of infrastructure, services, facilities, planning issues and environmental constraints. This can be viewed on our website1.

Availability of data

Statistics identified in the Fact Pact are primarily from Census data (2001), AVDC monitoring data (updated annually) and research carried out by County Council. There are also a number of websites that have been used to retrieve information, such as crime statistics, broadband coverage and housing sales. Where possible, parish level data has been used. If this level of data is not available super output area (SOA) boundaries or ward boundaries have been used (often these cover a larger area than just the settlement). The boundaries of the parish, SOA and ward can be viewed on map 1 in this document.

2. Location and Setting

Aylesbury is the of Buckinghamshire in South East , situated approximately 41 miles north-west of .

Aylesbury is at the heart of a road network which radiates out from the town in all directions, the primary of these being the A41 which was formerly the major Roman road Akeman Street. This ran for 78 miles connecting Verulamium (St Albans) to Corinium (Cirencester), which was initially created for moving troops and equipment rapidly from one base to another. Other routes which cross are the A418 which connects and and the A413 which connects and .

The town is sited on an outcrop of Portlandian limestone which accounts for its prominent position within the surrounding landscape. Aylesbury is located largely on clay and is surrounded by the flood plain of the River , close to the foothills of the , which are situated towards the south of the town.

The built up area of Aylesbury includes the parishes of Aylesbury, Coldharbour, Weedon and Watermead. Within this area there are 10 wards; Elmhurst and Watermead, Oakfield, , Mandeville and Elm Farm, and Hawkslade, South Court, Coldharbour, , Gatehouse and Aylesbury Central. Within these wards are a number of super output areas as identified by the red lines on the map above. Please note that the southern part of Aylesbury falls within parish, which will not be included (identified in a separate fact pack for Stoke Mandeville).

For the purpose of this document the four parishes and associated wards will be termed ‘Aylesbury Area.’

Facts and figures have been identified relating to three different geographical boundaries depending on the source of the information. In general all Census data is

Please note the 2011 Census will take two years to publish, as such this data will not be available until 2013.

In the case of Aylesbury, the Town Council area, ward and Super Output Area (SOA) form three different boundaries.

3. Story of Place

Origins of settlement

The name ‘Aylesbury’ is thought to be a derivative of ‘Aigle’s Burgh’ meaning hill town or fort. In 571 AD the Anglo Saxons gave Aylesbury its name, which has been spelt in numerous different ways over the years.

The town has very early origins with the first significant population dating back to the Bronze Age. The first settlers were believed to be Iron-age Celts, who favoured hill top locations for their forts. In 1985 Iron-Age and Bronze-Age artefacts, including a hillfort dating back to 450 were found at Nelson Terrace and Oxford Road (formerly White Hill) in Aylesbury old town.

Aylesbury has been a significant from Anglo Saxon times until the present day. The market is much smaller now than in previous times; the town’s market closed in 1987. During the Middle Ages Aylesbury held two ‘fairs’ each year, which were considered important events, attracting traders from far and wide.

In 1529 Henry VIII declared Aylesbury as the county town of Buckinghamshire, replacing Buckingham in this role. The Summer Assizes and the law courts moved to Aylesbury in 1707 thus confirming Aylesbury as the centre of local government for the County; the original County Hall in the Market Square was built in 1723. (During the 1530s the Aylesbury Manor belonged to Sir Thomas Boleyn, father of Henry VIII’s second wife Ann.)

During the Aylesbury sided with the Parliamentarians and at a small battle/skirmish at Holman’s Bridge in 1642 the defence of the town was led by , cousin to Oliver Cromwell.

This was also the time when the breeding business within Aylesbury and it’s neighbouring villages began. Selective breeding of a unique variety of pure white was developed. By the time of the Second World War duck breeding within the area had mostly disappeared. However Aylesbury is still renowned world wide for the .

Transport networks were developed during the 19th century. The Aylesbury Branch of the was opened in 1814 and in 1839 Aylesbury became the first town to have its own railway branch line with the connection to the London/ Railway at . The Great Western Railway branch line was built from in 1863 and The arrived at Aylesbury in 1892. By 1899 Aylesbury was finally on a main line when the Great

Page 9 of 69 Aylesbury Fact Pack

Central Railway opened allowing northward journeys to Nottingham, Sheffield, and Manchester.

Aylesbury received international publicity in 1963 when those responsible for the Great Train Robbery appeared before Aylesbury Magistrates Court on charges that would eventually lead to trial at the Old Bailey. The train robbery took place at Bridego Bridge at on the west coast mail line, which is approximately six miles (10 km) from Aylesbury.

Post 1945

During the 1950s Aylesbury was identified as a ‘town for expansion’ to accommodate firms and their employees relocating from bomb damaged areas of London; this resulted in the development of new estates at Quarrendon, Elmhurst, and Broughton Avenue/Oakfield Road and new factories for companies such as Negretti and Zambra during the next two decades, much of this being funded by the then London County Council.

During this same period, the centre of Aylesbury was extensively modernised, including a large scale shopping centre; Friars Square shopping centre opened in 1967, providing modern retail units to meet the demands of the growing population. Most of the old town had been demolished to make way for this modernisation, which included the new County Offices however, remnants of old parts remain mostly around St Mary's Church, Temple Street, and Market Square. These developments introduced a marked change in the character and appearance of Aylesbury, which has changed from a relatively small market town before the second world war to a centre of business, commerce and administration employing in the early 21st century.

To see how Aylesbury has grown from the 18th century please see the map in annex 3, which gives an overview of when and where new developments have taken place.

Current Planning Consent for major sites

Berryfields is a major development area allocated in the Aylesbury Vale District Local Plan (AVDLP) as a mixed use development. The approved masterplan includes provision of 3000 new dwellings, 9ha of employment land, a district centre to include local shops, two primary schools and Aylesbury Vale , some 70ha of informal open space, major parks and children's play areas. Aylesbury Vale Parkway station is located on the development adjacent to a site for a Park & Ride service and the development will be linked to Buckingham Park and the A413 by the western link road. The development started in July 2010 and is likely to take some 12 years to complete.

Aylesbury Waterside development. This is an ambitious project to redevelop part Aylesbury town centre, creating a new shopping area in Exchange Street, including a travel lodge and Waitrose food store. A 525 space multi-storey car park. 200 homes in Walton Street has already been completed as part of this proposal as has Page 10 of 69

Aylesbury Fact Pack

Aylesbury Waterside Theatre; a business academy to encourage young entrepreneurs has recently been granted planning permission for a site adjoining the new theatre in Walton Street.

These four parishes have a combined total of 29,733 dwellings (AVDC Monitoring, March 2010).

Social Groups

A Classification of Residential Neighbourhoods (ACORN) developed by the Bucks Strategic Partnership shows the distinct groups of people that live within Buckinghamshire. The county is made up of 10 groups of households whose residents all have very different demographic characteristics and lifestyles. This means that from the results it would be possible to identify that more affluent groups are likely to have very different public service needs from those less affluent groups. The different ACORN group types are explained at http://www.buckscc.gov.uk/bcc/research/bucks_acorn.page

Deprivation

The Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) provide an analysis of the levels of deprivation according to seven key indicators: income, employment, health, education, housing, crime and living environment (ONS, 2004). The IMD are based on super output areas for Aylesbury Area. Please see map on page four for SOAs location.

Employment

Aylesbury is the largest location for employment within the district. The below map identifies the distribution of employment sites, highlighted as the blue areas.

Source: Employment Land Study, 2008

The majority of employment sites are located at the north western side of the town at Rabans Lane Industrial Area and Gatehouse Industrial Area. There are also a number of smaller sites on the eastern side of the town including, Stocklake Industrial Park and Vale Industrial Estate.

Within Aylesbury town there are a number of Local Plan allocated sites for employment or retail uses. Please see Annex 3 for a list of these sites and there progress as at March 2010.

There is approximately 35,000 sq m of industrial and warehouse floorspace currently available in Aylesbury town, with an overall vacancy rate of approximately 10%. The town has little high-quality industrial property, with an oversupply of lower-quality buildings, concentrated mainly in the Gatehouse Way area. The most ‘modern’ of employment sites is located at Raban’s Lane and Cold Harbor Way.

The most recent developments of employment within Aylesbury are:

 Premus, Cold Harbor Way, Brunel Park, Aylesbury, 7 units - with a total of 10,700 square metres.  Brunel Gate, Brunel Road, Aylesbury – with a total of 6,200 square metres.

Page 17 of 69 Aylesbury Fact Pack

 Anglo Business Park, Smeaton Close, Aylesbury – 30 units covering 9,300 square metres.  East 41, Stocklake, Aylesbury – 2,323 square metres.  Bicester Road Industrial Estate, Aylesbury – refurbishment of existing 1980’s units.

Aylesbury town centre accommodates the bulk of office stock, which comprise a relatively small number of medium and large sized buildings. During the last ten years there has a been limited amount of office development. The take-up of office floorspace in Aylesbury itself is estimated at between 2,800 and 4,600 sq m per annum since 2000. The office market, especially within the town, is dominated by the public sector, predominately Bucks County Council and AVDC, with the main private sector occupier being HBOS at the Blue Leanie Building and ESRI at the Millennium House.

Employment Change for completed development since 2005

The below graph shows net employment completions which are identified as B1, B2, and B8 use classes. This includes offices, research and development, light industry, general industry, warehousing and distribution. Net floorspace takes into account demolitions and losses of B class uses. Please note that B use classes are likely to only contribute towards 50% of total employment, with other employment being generated through non B use classes such as retail and leisure.

The breakdown of industries of employment within Aylesbury town is very similar to that for the whole of Aylesbury Vale. Again there are four key industries that dominant within the Vale: manufacturing; wholesale/retail; real estate/renting/business and health.

Within the Town (shown in yellow on the graph above) a higher proportion of the population, when compared with the rest of the Vale (shown in red on the graph above), work within manufacturing (13%), wholesale/retail (17%) and health (10%). In contrast a higher proportion within the Vale work within real estate/Renting/or Business (Local Area Profile, 2006).

Higher proportions of people from Aylesbury town travel short distances to work, when compared with the rest of the district. With a large proportion of the district’s industry being based around Aylesbury itself, it follows that 32% of people living in Aylesbury town travel less than 2km to work, and 18% travel between 2-5km to work. This compares with 20% and 12% for the same distances, from across the whole of Aylesbury Vale.

The map below from the Employment Land Study (2008) outlines where residents travel to, based on each ward. In all wards over 50% of residents commute to Aylesbury Town, with the next highest percentage of people commuting to Aylesbury Rural area.

Broadband Speeds

There is no formal way of assessing Broadband speed and coverage. However we have drawn on some of the commercially available speed checking services to give a guide as to the coverage and speeds available in the parish. This does not mean that this is necessarily an obtainable level of service, but is as close as we are able to provide as an indicator.

Using www.broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk it would appear that Aylesbury has a good coverage and speeds obtainable appear to be in the range of 1.29 to 18.1 Mbps, by a range of different service providers.

The below graph looks at the number of cars owned per household based on data from the 2001 census. The graph shows that 78% of households own at least 1 vehicle, with 22% not owning a car. This is likely to be because of the good public transport connections which already exist.

5. Issues facing the Town

The following issues are identified by AVDC officers from parish council, Local Area Forum, Conservation Area publications and other information sources. They are issues considered to be most relevant to planning. The intention is for the parish council to add to and/or amend the issues shown as appropriate.

The following issues have been identified from the Greater Aylesbury Local Plan (identified on the map to the left). This is not a comprehensive list but a starting point for discussion.

Economic Development  Lack of focus on Economic Development.  Need to attract inward investment and support new business start-ups  There are decreasing work/job opportunities within Aylesbury.

Amenity/Green Space  Poor open spaces and sporting facilities, new developments have the same failings.  Town needs green space at edges for allotments, playing fields etc…  Minimise impact of growth on the natural environment and enhance biodiversity where possible.

Transport  High cost of public transport, particularly for the young, forcing increased car use.  Improve the transport network and manage congestion.  Poor cycling and walking routes, particularly in new developments  Need to reduce emissions through personal and corporate responsibilities and public transport provision.

Infrastructure  Too much housing with lack of support of infrastructure (roads, industry, schools etc).  Need to improve Aylesbury Town Centre for all local communities.  Provide support for community participation and engagement and facilities in new and existing communities.

Page 53 of 69

Aylesbury Fact Pack

Education  Need to improve education to narrow the gap between the poorest performing schools and the best.

Crime  High levels of crime and anti-social behaviour.  High fear of crime.

Aylesbury Fact Pack

6. Town Constraints

The following constraints have been identified from the maps attached to this fact pack. Five maps have been created to identify constraints relating to agricultural land quality, environmental constraints, historic constraints, landscape and infrastructure.

Agricultural Land Map

Agricultural Land

The Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) provides a method for assessing the quality of farmland to enable informed choices to be made about its future use within the planning system. It helps underpin the principles of sustainable development. DEFRA produced guidance on the ALC in the planning system in 1998 and the most up to date data, was produced by Natural England in 2002.

Aylesbury is comprised of grade 2 and 3 agricultural land. Detailed studies have been carried out around the town which shows predominately grade 3b but some pockets of 3a. For area of land identified as grade 3, with no detailed assessment a detailed assessment will need to be carried out, otherwise the assumption will be grade 3b.

Topography

Contours showing land at heights at 5 metre vertical intervals from Ordnance Survey maps. Land heights are above ordnance datum (sea level). Aylesbury sits 75 to 90 meters above sea level, with a gradual rising slope from south to north.

Page 55 of 69

Environmental Constraints Map

Flood Risk

Towards the north of the town there are areas subject to level 1 and 2 flooding. These are areas susceptible to Flood Zones 1 and 2 as defined by the Environment Agency. There are also small pockets of surface water flooding. This follows the Aylesbury Canal and along the north-west side of the town. Surface water flooding occurs when drainage capacities are exceeded during heavy rainfall.

Site of Important Nature Conservation/Local Wildlife Site

There is one Site of Important Nature Conservation towards the north of Rabans Lane Industrial Area. These are designations for important nature conservation sites, identified by Buckinghamshire County Council (previously known as Biological Notification Sites). This site is also identified as a Local Wildlife Site. These are sites of Local non-statutory designation for areas of land which are considered to be of significance for its wildlife features and habitats, designated by Buckinghamshire County Council.

Biological Notification Sites

Biological notification site are located towards the north of the town for Quarrendon Fields, where there are Neutral Grasslands and towards the north of Quarrendon where there is a medieval village which has also been identified due to Neutral Grasslands. Another BNS is located at Station Way near to Morrison’s called ‘California Brook’ due to stream wildlife habitat.

Biological Notification Sites are a local non statutory designation for important biological sites. These are sites which have not been renamed as Sites of Important Nature Conservation.

Notable Species

Aylesbury also has a large number of Notable species. These are locations of Important Ecological Species set out by the and Buckinghamshire Biological Records Centre. The Notable Species are sensitive information and as such the species of wildlife cannot be stated in the fact pack. However, the Environmental Records Centre can be contacted to given a case-by-case response – contact [email protected]. The Centre also has an information request form that people can fill in to provide the details of their search enquiry. This can be downloaded from their website at the following address: http://www.buckinghamshirepartnership.gov.uk/partnership/BucksMKERC/data_sea rch.page?

Page 56 of 69 Aylesbury Fact Pack

Tree Preservation Orders

Aylesbury has several clusters of Tree Preservations, mainly within the centre of Aylesbury. These are orders established by the Council for either individual trees or hedgerows or groups of trees. To prevent such trees being lopped/topped or uprooted that are particularly attractive or importance to the character of the area.

Page 57 of 69

Historic Constraints Map

Conservation Area

From looking at the map on the following page it can be seen that Aylesbury town has a number of historic constraints. Three Conservation Areas covers a small proportion of the town, specifically, along Castle Street at Aylesbury old town. A small conservation area is also designated where Walton Street and Stoke Road meet and along Wendover Road opposite Wendover Way there is a terrace of houses which are within a conservation area. Aylesbury area also sits relatively close to Hartwell House which is surrounded by a large conservation area. Conservation Areas (CA’s) are designated by the Council to control development in areas of special character and historic or archaeological importance. The first CA’s were designated in 1967 and there are now over 8000 in England.

Listed Buildings

There are approximately 191 listed building within Aylesbury town. There is one grade I listed building (highest ranking category) for St Mary’s Church. For full details of each listed building please use the search facility at http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk.

The older a building is the more likely it is to be listed.

Archaeological Notification Areas

Aylesbury town is covered by a number of Archaeological Notification Areas within the centre. Reasons for this are due to Roman artefacts, Bronze age artefacts, Iron age artefacts, historic moats, deserted pre-historic settlements and a Saxon cemetery. Archaeological Notification Areas are those that within which there is specific evidence recorded on the Buckinghamshire Historic Environment Record.

Schedule Ancient Monuments

There is one Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM’s) located just outside the built up area of Aylesbury towards Broughton, where there is a moated site towards the south-east of Manor Farm. There is another site towards the north of the build up area of Gatehouse wards, where there are remains of a deserted village and earthworks. Scheduled Ancient Monuments (SAM’s) are those recognised as a nationally important archaeological site or historic building, and are given protection against unauthorised change.

Historic Land Use

There are several sites for historic land use identified in the Aylesbury area. These are for several reasons including former sites for factory works, cemeteries/graveyards, hospitals, railways, clay brick and tile works, gas

Page 59 of 69 Aylesbury Fact Pack manufactory and distribution, brewing and malting and general quarrying. Historic land use is where there are records of previous development of historic importance, which is no longer present.

Potential Contaminated Land

Within Aylesbury area there also a number of sites for potential contaminated land from former uses. The main reasons for this are due to production of chemicals in the 1900s, former coal yards, old gas and electricity works, former brewery and malting sites, wharf sites where transport of cargo took place and former quarrying sites. Further investigation of these sites is likely to be required to determine whether there is contaminated land.

Landscape Map

Landscape Character and Sensitivity

The map on the following page identifies landscape character type and sensitivity. A Landscape Character Assessment was produced in May 2008. The assessment covers the whole of Aylesbury Vale District outside of the built up areas of Aylesbury, Buckingham, Haddenham, Winslow and Wendover and groups landscape into 79 landscape character areas and 13 landscape character types covering landscape, visual, historic and ecological considerations. The landscape character type for the adjoing are to Aylesbury is Landscape Character Type 08, Vale. A line of Low Hills and Ridges landscape character is located towards the east and west of Aylesbury. Further north in Weedon parish Undulating Clay Plateau (type 04) landscape character has been identified.

The Areas of Sensitive Landscape study (2008) followed up the Landscape Character Assessment looking specifically at the sensitivity of areas to change and new development. The following criteria determine how sensitive an area is –landscape quality, scenic quality, rarity, representativeness, conservation interests, wildness The build up area of Aylesbury has not been identified in the Areas of Sensitive Landscape Study, however the majoring of adjoining landscape lies between 0-50% sensitivity. There is a pocket of higher landscape sensitivity measuring between 50 – 75% located at . Towards the north of Aylesbury the surrounding landscape has a higher sensitivity between 75-90%.
