VALP Inspectors Report Published
03 September 2021

Publication of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan Inspector’s Report - 3rd September 2021

The Planning Inspector for the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (VALP) has issued his final report to Buckinghamshire County Council and it has now been published on their website. The report finds the VALP to be a sound plan, subject to the modifications he has specified. This means the modified VALP can now be considered for adoption by the council as the local plan for the former Aylesbury Vale area of Buckinghamshire.

The report can be viewed online on the BC VALP web pages: https://www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/section/vale-aylesbury-local-plan-valp-2013-2033

The next stage is for the council’s Cabinet and Full Council to consider the Inspector’s Report and adoption of the VALP. These meetings will happen at 10am on 13th September 2021 (Cabinet) and at 4pm on 15th September 2021 (Full Council).

Oxford to Cambridge Arc Spatial Framework the Buckinghamshire Council Vision
27 August 2021

Vision for the so called ‘Oxford to Cambridge ARC’

I wanted to make you aware of a Government consultation on what they describe as the Oxford to Cambridge ARC. This sets out their intention to prepare a ‘Spatial Framework’, effectively a Regional Plan, for the area between Oxford and Cambridge. This would potentially have very serious implications for Buckinghamshire as Government could use it to set the direction and scale of new development, in particular new housing. This could mean much higher ‘top down’ housing targets that would need to be met locally.

This Framework would be legally binding upon councils when they come to prepare their own Local Plans, effectively overruling local communities and democratically elected councils’ wishes.

Our position is that Buckinghamshire is already delivering large numbers of new houses within current Government targets. We do not wish these targets to be significantly increased by this Regional Plan. We believe that democratically elected local councils are best placed to make local decisions on where and when housing is built, rather than having this imposed ‘top down’ by central Government.

We understand local residents may be asked to join focus groups to collect views. If you wish to understand our position in more detail, please refer to our website.

Martin Tett. Leader, Buckinghamshire Council.
