Keeping our guard up –
Developers hoping to slip proposals through before AVDC’s new Core Strategy is in place?
Following AVDC’s rejection of the Newton Leys South development proposal and the Salden Chase Consortium being left with little other option (in our view) than to withdraw their proposal, the Newton Leys South developers (O&H Ltd) have put in an appeal.
Our area (Aylesbury Vale), like others around the country, is creating a new Core Strategy. The previous AVDC Core Strategy was withdrawn when the new government removed the threat of compulsion on local authorities to build massive new urban developments.

Two years ago there was little or no interest to stop the proposed development and as such our area was classed as a ‘soft target’ fortunately James Lodge, Chair of Save our Villages had different ideas and formed a strong campaign which soon spread to other villages and gained massive support. Local and National politicians became involved and soon other groups such as Bletchley Park and Tony Mabbott of SC Residents action group joined the campaign.

The effort has paid off and we feel confident that such development will no longer be a threat in the near future. Nevertheless, SOV group will continue to monitor the Planning front albeit on a ‘background’ basis and will keep villagers informed as necessary. The Village Plan must now become the focus of Villagers’ attention to ensure that its findings are adopted by AVDC both to create the framework to deliver improvements to the village and also to prevent large-scale and/or inappropriate development in the coming years. So, for the time being, SOV will reduce its efforts and campaign to just website activity and we shall do what we can to assist the Village Plan. We thank the Parish Council and all of you for your support during the past year and hope that you will all show interest in shaping the future of Newton Longville by helping the Village Plan Group. Season’s Greetings to you all! Many of you will have received a copy of this letter from AVDC. Amongst other things, it confirms that the Salden Chase Masterplan & Delivery Supplementary Planning Document (2010) are withdrawn by the Council’s resolution – please click on the image to the left to read the letter in full.
