SOULBURY ROAD UPDATE

Aylesbury Vale District Council approved outline planning permission on February 3 for development of up to 67 new homes on the Soulbury Road site. The parish council and neighbourhood plan team will be working with the Developers to hopefully provide the style and type of homes required in the area.

STEERING GROUP

In accordance with the terms of reference for the neighbourhood plan, it has been agreed to review the membership of the steering group.
As the plan has now progressed to more consultation and examination future membership of the group is proposed to be: Jenny Wodey, Margaret Burgess, Gill Morgan, Andrew Pryke, Paul Smith (all parish councillors), Janette Eustace, Steve Nicholl and Neil Dickens (chair). Contributions made by previous members are appreciated and they are thanked for all their hard work.
