Settlement Capacity Study Update
Chiltern & South Bucks Local Plan 2036 Settlement Capacity Study Page 0 of 122 Chiltern & South Bucks Local Plan 2036 Settlement Capacity Study Introduction Local authorities are encouraged by Paragraph 65 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) to set out a housing requirement for designated neighbourhood areas as part of their strategic policies. This is to enable neighbourhood plans to provide sufficient housing sites to meet their expected allocation. All currently-designated neighbourhood areas in Chiltern and South Bucks Districts share their boundaries with parish boundaries. It is anticipated that any future designations will also be for town council or parish council areas rather than for areas smaller or larger than these. The purpose of this study is to calculate required housing numbers for each parish within Chiltern and South Bucks. The Planning Practice Guidance1 confirms that there is no set methodology available for doing this, stating “the general policy making process already undertaken by local authorities can continue to be used to direct development requirements and balance needs and protections by taking into consideration relevant policies such as the spatial strategy, evidence such as the Housing and economic land availability assessment, and the characteristics of the neighbourhood area, including its population and role in providing services. In setting requirements for housing in designated neighbourhood areas, plan-making authorities should consider the areas or assets of particular importance (as set out in paragraph 11, footnote 6), which may restrict the scale, type or distribution of development in a neighbourhood plan area”. The NPPF requires the housing requirement figure for a neighbourhood area to reflect the Local Plan’s overall strategy for the pattern and scale of development and any relevant allocations. -
50 Years Ago – a Postscript
50 YEARS AGO – A POSTSCRIPT METROPOLITAN MODERNISATION Whilst some of us will recall the late-1950s and early 1960s as the period “when it all happened”, there was a lot going on much earlier. Here is a selection of what happened, details being obtained from the Traffic Circulars of the time. Some items may not be directly relevant but nevertheless are included for interest, if only that London Transport were bringing the Metropolitan Line up to date and ‘in line’ with the rest of the network. Date Brief details 02.01.50 “Stop-and-Proceed” abolished north of Harrow-on-the-Hill and all signals, semi- automatic and automatic, provided with signal post telephones. All trains to receive authority from relevant signalman before passing any signal at danger. Signal boxes affected were Watford Station (JL), Croxley (B), Watford Junction (C), Northwood (E), Pinner (G) and Harrow Station (JB). 01.50 Telephones provided on Chesham line (to signalmen at Chalfont & Latimer and Chesham) at One Mile Post, Two Mile Post and Three Mile Post. 04.06.50 Track slewed on a new alignment 30ft west of present from 1,000ft north of Watford South Junction to 1,500ft south of Watford South Junction, to allow bridges MR78, MR80 and MR81 to be taken out of use. 17.06.50 From midnight, maintenance responsibility for track, works & buildings and signalling between 28½ mile post (Mantles Wood) and 37 miles 195 yards, about ¾ mile south of Aylesbury South Junction, will be transferred from Railway Executive to London Transport. 25.06.50 London Transport to take over responsibility for management of ex-Joint Line from Harrow to Aylesbury South Junction including Watford and Chesham branches. -
Railways List
A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened. -
The Evolution of Train Services on the Met and Gc Line
THE EVOLUTION OF TRAIN SERVICES ON THE MET AND GC LINE by Eric Stuart (Readers may find reference to the Four-Tracking article in the July 2018 issue of Underground News helpful) After the Great Central (GC) arrived at Quainton Road and the service south thereof became established, both the GC and the Metropolitan Railway (Met.) provided services. However, the personalities at the heads of the two companies did not enjoy the best of relationships. Matters came to a head when a GC train crashed when failing to reduce speed over the (then) reverse curve into Aylesbury station in 1904. About that time, both the leaders retired and a period of better relations between the companies began. On 2 April 1906, the Metropolitan & Great Central Joint Railway (MGCJR) was created. This latter took over the lines of the Metropolitan Railway north and west of Harrow South Junction, with the exception of the branch to Uxbridge. These included the main line between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Verney Junction and the branch from Chalfont & Latimer to Chesham. The MGCJR was created under the terms of the Metropolitan & Great Central Railway Act, which received Royal Assent on 4 August 1905. At the same time, the Great Central and Great Western Joint Railway was formed, covering the lines south of Aylesbury via Princes Risborough to Northolt Junction. This was the result of a new line that aided the GC by partly avoiding congestion on the Met. and also giving the Great Western a shorter route to Birmingham1. One curiosity was that a Joint Committee was set up to manage a new Aylesbury station, jointly owned by two joint railways! Some points on terminology: The new line was commonly called just ‘The Joint Line’ and, even in later LT days, some staff still belonged to a particular class that made them feel superior to others2. -

IL Combo Ndx V2
file IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE The Quarterly Journal of THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY COMBINED INDEX of Volumes 1 to 7 1976 – 1996 IL No.1 to No.79 PROVISIONAL EDITION www.industrial-loco.org.uk IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of almost 30 years by a number of different people each using different approaches and methods. The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time. -
