As was the specimen with the other “reserve sites”, a liaison group was worked to take worth of the views of local residents and other interested parties to produce and stipulate a minutiae unenduring for the site versus which future planning applications could be assessed. A minutiae unenduring was well-set for both Gomm Valley and the neighboring Ashwells reserve site and although a planning using was subsequently received for the WDC-owned Ashwells site, the expected planning using for the AXA-owned Gomm Valley site was not received when it was expected. A remoter meeting of the liaison committee was convened by WDC in May this year at which its members were informed by a representative of Aviva, which had taken over the ownership of Gomm Valley from AXA, that they had scheduled a new visitor to take on the task of developing the site. Representatives of this new company, Human Nature, then gave an outline of their proposals for the site and notified their intention of organising an event in Gomm Valley which would enable the public to find out increasingly well-nigh their plans. I attended the resulting public consultation event at the end of June with an unshut mind, feeling that the plans to incorporate a mini village at the Gomms Road archway to the valley, withal with a school and leisure suavities and a proposed increase in the number of housing units on the site would result in a greater biodiversity loss than would have occurred as a result of implementation of the previously well-set minutiae brief. Having listened to the presentations by Human Nature’s team of experts on ecology, transport and sustainable living, however, I came to the conclusion that the visitor had not only taken worth of the need to preserve the most important aspects of the Valley’s existing natural history interest, but were proposing to proffer and modernize them by increasing the length of hedgerows, planting lots of trees, converting much of the existing arable land into chalk grassland, and creating public footpaths through the valley. This latter provision is very important considering there are none at present. Most importantly of all, Human Nature’s proposals write the issue of the provision of on-going funding to provide a team of ”rangers” to be based on site to take responsibility for the site’s initial natural habitat improvements and for their ongoing future maintenance. There will of undertow be housing in Gomm Valley, increasingly than proposed in the previously well-set minutiae brief, but the density will be higher for most of the new homes, whilst providing some larger low density properties. All the housing will incorporate environmentally friendly standards including the capture of rainwater which will be piped to ponds at the southern end of the valley. A low-speed spur road will need to be provided, but the provision of e-bikes and a car pool for the use of residents have been suggested as ways of reducing car ownership needs. The mini village ramified would incorporate a unstipulated store, bakery, cafe/restaurant and a meeting room and there would be communal allotments and possibly an outlet for the sale of its produce. A bus service would provide links to the town centre and railway station, and it is hoped that this together with the proposed on-site primary school will moreover help to reduce car dependency. Discussion with representatives of the Chiltern Society and BBOWT who have been involved in discussions on the future of Gomm Valley would towards to suggest that they finger that the new minutiae proposals offer a largest outcome for the valley and its links with neighboring areas of natural history interest. During discussions with the developers, I mentioned the Round Wycombe Walk stuff planned by WWG and that we saw Gomm Valley stuff included in the walk’s route. The developers showed an interest in this and said that it ought to be possible to route the walk through the valley once the paths have been provided without waiting for the completion of the minutiae which could take 8 years. The Liaison Group met then on 2nd August when Human Nature stated that they were often pleased with the way their public consultation went, stating that 90% of the attendees had expressed wholesale try-on to the proposals, the main areas of snooping relating to parking and traffic issues. The total number of housing units now proposed is 970 consisting of 30% with 1 bedroom, 30% with 2 bedrooms, 30% with 3 bedrooms and 10% with 4 bedrooms. It was pointed out by the developers that the scheme had to be financially viable and that the number of houses built was a major factor in providing funding for the biodiversity improvements. There was a remoter opportunity on 21st August for Liaison Group members to meet the developers and discuss their latest, increasingly detailed proposals for the diamond and layout of the housing, streets and parking and their ideas for improving the biodiversity of the undeveloped parts of the valley and for the on-going management of the latter. Please take a squint at www.wycombewildlifegrp.co.uk for increasingly information from Wycombe Wildlife Group This is how the developers described their aspirations for Gomm Valley at their ‘Community Engagement and Design’ event held in the fields overdue the Peregrine Business Park over the weekend of 30 June/2 July. This took the form of an exhibition illustrating the minutiae objectives, together with explanatory talks and Q&A. The developer selected by Aviva (as landowner), is known as ‘Human + Nature’(H+N), which has assembled a team with strong credentials in the planning and diamond of sustainable communities.’ Full Article  Posted by admin at 4:32 pm  Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your Comment You may use these HTML tags and attributes: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <s> <strike> <strong> Name (required) E-mail (required) URI Sign me up for the newsletter!
