AYLESBURY VALE DISTRICT COUNCIL Planning Policy Please ask for: Stephanie Buller Direct Line: 01296 585461 Switchboard: 01296 585858 Textphone: 01296 585055 Email: [email protected] Our Ref: 03/04/NP/Weston Turville 14 March 2018 Sent vie email to: Steve Carnaby; Associate Director of Intelligent Plans and Examinations (IPE) Ltd at [email protected] Cc: Sarah Copley; Weston Turville Parish Council Clerk [email protected] Dear Mr Carnaby. Submission of the Weston Turville Parish Neighbourhood Plan for Examination I am pleased to submit to you the draft Weston Turville Neighbourhood Plan (WTNP) for examination. As requested, a paper copy of all the Regulation 16 representations and submission documents have now also been posted. Aylesbury Vale District Council (AVDC) has worked closely with Weston Turville Parish Council (WTPC) during the nearly two years that the plan has been prepared. WTPC have also worked with consultants on specific parts of the evidence base. The AVDC commends WTPC on a comprehensive and well thought out plan. The Weston Turville Neighbourhood Plan (WTNP) is the emerging development plan for the Weston Turville Neighbourhood Area (covering the same area as the parish council) for the period 2013-2033. On adoption it will form part of the Development Plan, which planning applications in that area will be assessed against. The WNP contains 18 policies designed to conserve and enhance the distinctive character of the three main settlements within the parish, whilst enabling small-scale sustainable development to take place to meet local needs. The plan focuses on delivering affordable housing for families and downsizers, whilst retaining the distinctive features of the parish and seeks to designate 7 local green spaces. We commend the work the neighbourhood plan team put in to the plan through its final stages and their continued collaboration with AVDC. As a result AVDC believes that the requirements of the ‘basic conditions’ have been met in terms of: having appropriate regard to national policy, contributing to the achievement of sustainable development, being in general conformity with the strategic policies in the development plan, and being compatible with human rights requirements and EU obligations. However AVDC does still have some outstanding concerns that we would wish to raise with the Independent Examiner to consider potential modifications to the plan. These outstanding concerns are detailed in Appendix A, table 1.
