We want to hear your views: • Have we identified the realistic objectives? • Have we identified all the major issues? • Have we identified all the potential options for action to resolve these? • Have you any comments on the appearance and contents of the report? Please comment in writing to: The Planning Manager Upper Ouse Catchment Management Plan National Rivers Authority - Anglian Region Central Area Brampton HUNTINGDON Cambs PE 18 8NE Telephone enquiries: (01480) 414581 (After 1 April 1996, please address to Environment Agency) ALL COMMENTS SHOULD REACH US BY 13 JUNE 1996 Further Copies are available from the above address. NRA - Anglian Region (Central Area) Page 2 Upper Ouse CMP FOREWORD The National Rivers Authority (NRA) is committed to protecting and improving the water environment in its broadest sense. Establishing a sound base for the integrated management for river catchments is fundamental to our operations and therefore, the Authority has devised Catchment Management Plans (CMP). This vehicle will ultimately achieve environmental improvements which will continue as responsibility after 1st April 1996 moves to the Environment Agency Local Management Plans (EALMPs) Public consultation secures input and helps provide commitment from all interested parties towards achieving action on important issues. The issues to be considered in this plan, include: • Securing the protection against river flooding (through surface water management and development control in), for example, Newport Pagnell, Leighton Buzzard which impact on the flood plain; • The need for balance between river maintenance standards in the catchment and nature conservation priorities; • Reviewing the water resource balance for the catchment, restating the quantities allocated to the environment and the proportion available for abstraction; • Water quality issues (concerning nutrients) on the River Great Ouse (at Clapham), River Ouzel and Foxcote Reservoir; • Navigation and Recreation issues upstream of Bedford (for example at Felmersham) and the implications of the proposed new canal link to the Grand Union Canal. I look forward to receiving your comments to assist in the production of an action plan which balances the conflicting demands placed upon the Upper Ouse Catchment.

Milton Keynes Council established in its Core Strategy a target of delivering 28,000 homes in the period from 2010 to 2026; an average of 1,750 homes per year. This target is split 26,240 in the urban area and 1,760 across the rural rest of the Borough. 1.2 There is a need to ensure that there is choice and flexibility in land supply across the Borough. This will help maintain completion rates and enable the Council to demonstrate it has a five year supply of land, which is a strict government requirement. Problems with this can arise because, despite there being enough land available, it is not being built out quickly enough to meet the Core Strategy’s annual housing targets.

    Annual Parish Meeting Minutes April 2015

    EVENLEY PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of the Evenley Parish Council Annual Meeting held on Monday 20th April 2015 at 7:30pm in the Village Hall. Present: Alan Thornhill (Chair), Jean Morgan, Jackie Fox, Jill Kelly, Mike Bosher, Michael Genner, Kirsty Buttle (Clerk), County Cllr Ron Sawbridge, District Cllr John Townsend, Helen Howard (Northamptonshire Highways), Chris Wragg (Northamptonshire Highways), Kay Baul (Evenley Residents Association). Also present were 22 parishioners. 1. Apologies - Apologies were received from Keith Cousins, Kevin O’Reagan, Carrie O’Reagan. Mike Bosher will be late. 2. Minutes of previous Annual Parish Meeting held on 7th April 2014 were approved. 3. Matters arising – No matters were raised. 4. Report from Cllr Ron Sawbridge, Northamptonshire County Council - The present method of the council providing services is no longer sustainable; it can’t keep on reducing costs by improving efficiency in the way it has done over the last few years. Costs of the base budget have already been reduced by £200m and they still have to reduce by a further £148m over the next five years. A continuation of the present method of providing services would drastically reduce the quality to an unacceptable level. The council will need to become a much smaller organisation commissioning other agencies to carry out activities to help the council achieve its goals for residents. The County Council will dramatically reduce the number of employees down to around 250, commissioning services from a federation of organisations including private businesses, Social Enterprises, Mutuals, Council owned companies, and Charities. The intention will be to transfer as many existing staff as is possible to the new providers.

The Local Plan should bring forward allocations which are consistent with these various requirements.
