The cynic in me wonders whether the CNP includes more development and existing councillors were worried that might affect their vote. Is that why the CNP is political?

Also heard that it might have been suppressed because of the impending local election. Assume that couldn't possibly be the case as the May election was known about prior to the March Review.

It has been suggested that the reason the CNP wasn't discussed at the Chinnor Parish Annual Assembly is because it was political. How the hell is the CNP political?

HELLO - IS ANYBODY THERE???
Not sure why you invite comments if you don't respond to them. Still, just for fun I'll post a few more comments/questions.

2 of 2 Does this mean that there is no longer a necessity for the NDP to allocate any further locations for further house building?

1 of 2 According to the SODC Local Plan 2033, page 66, Chinnor has exceeded it's +15% growth by 183 and has a strategic allocation of 0.

Are the policies being considered on planning applications that are currently in process and being approved. I fear Chinnor is becoming a very large dormitory village.

Assuming the examiner gives approval to the plan, then what powers are given to enforce the policies, who will enforce the policies.

The idea of pedestrians & cyclists around the "village square" sounds lovely but there is no way it can work with all the likely through traffic. Unless a bypass is planned, it can't happen.

Are there any minutes from the26th Oct meeting?

The pavement is very narrow along parts of Mill Lane and is only on one side so young children have to walk very close to the traffic. Additional cars increases the risk of a serious accident.

My son starts at Mill Lane Primary School in September and the thought of all the extra traffic that would travel down Mill Lane with additional housing on that site worries me greatly.

There appears to be three areas on this site where comments can be logged. It’s essential that ALL recent points of view should be collated and reviewed at the end of the Consultation period.

The pump station cannot cope with the existing amount of houses before adding another 180. Thames Water were very clear in their feedback on these sites that the pump station cannot take any more.

Before developing on the Mill Lane site please consider the current lack of adequate sewerage. There are currently between 20-30 houses that get flooded with raw sewage on a regular basis.

I agree with the idea to build north of the garden centre. It can have a bypass, doctors, shops and there would be little objection.

I went to the launch day on 6th Feb and made lots of comments. But the consultation period seems to start on 11th February. Will the comments from 6th Feb be included here?

We need a bypass to the north to take all the extra traffic from Princes Risborough and Thame.

The Glynswood site is part of the area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB). It should be preserved as a possible future public green space.

SODC are taking the Glynswood site to the High Court. Why have you prejudiced their case by including it? That is not representing the people.

Unless the plan is amended according to the villagers comments, I would vote against it at referendum.

Now that the Gladmans site has been approved the Glynswood site should be withdrawn immediately to support SODC in their appeal.

I agree with the comment below. The plan is not easy to understand.

Why wasn't one big development beyond the Garden centre considered? It would meet with approval from those opposing the other sites. and allow a bypass.

The plan must address the extra traffic we can expect from the developments in Risborough. Gladman site gives us a rare opportunity to ask for a bypass to the north. Village traffic only thru Chinnor

The plan should have looked at all areas of the parish and not just surrounding fields. 20 houses at Emmington and 10 at Henton would make a big difference to the required number.

Now the Gladman site has been approved we certainly don't need a 'reserve' site. Please remove this from your draft plan.

Reading a previous comment, is it true that we have achieved our quota of new housing for now? If so, then the plan is already out of date.

It seems the Gladman development will go ahead, your preferred sites are the 2 on Mill Lane, the Garden Centre site is under way so all new development seems to be at the North end of the village.

do we have infrastructure to support this!!

I find the plan very difficult to understand. A summary for the public would be helpful.

With the garden centre, siareys new building, Old Kiln lakes (business to residential) that takes it to 171, 2 over the 169 figure.We can then preserve both Mill Lane Sites and not risk safety to kids

Yesterday the site (Land North of Lower Icknield Way) was approved for 89 houses. The detailed decision does highlight that this area is not affected by AONB and is recommended.

When we attended the SODC meetings and put dots on a map, we were not told this would definitely define our future building sites.Please do your own survey.

If we have to have more houses, use sites that don't overlook and crowd existing houses.The Glysnwood site is un-neighbourly.The Mill Lane sites don't overlook anyone.Please remove CHi20 from the plan

I would like to see more details about the cycle routes mentioned

The draft plan says it will listen to the views of the residents and review the plan. This villager says remove the Greenwood Meadow/Glynswood site from the plan!

Chinnor needs a relief road to take the traffic away from our small village roads. The only option is to the north of the village, from the proposed Gladman site towards the Thame road.

The Neighbourhood Plan does not seem to take into account the future increase in through traffic from housing developments in neighbouring towns.

There is a lack of public green space to the south of the village. The Glynswood site should be earmarked as a possible future public green space.

The site selection for proposed developments uses data from old SODC consultations. This should not be used and the Neighbourhood Plan must carry out their own survey if they are to be taken seriously

The Glynswood site must be removed from the plan and discarded as a 'reserve' site. It should never have been included and gives Taylor Wimpey ammunition against SODC in the High Court case.

If Chinnor must have even more houses, there are more appropriate sites than those identified in the draft neighbourhood plan.

The current village infrastructure cannot cope with additional housing. Mill Lane is already congested, and safety of the children at Mill Lane School will be compromised. Totally object to the plans

I strongly object (again) to Mill Lane as a site for more housing for all the good reasons identified in the response to and rejection by SODC of the original applications.

The Glysnwood site should be withdrawn from the plan as it jeopardises SODSC's appeal against TW. It's a disgrace it was included in the first place.

The CNP has not even tried to listen to the villagers. You have not done a proper traffic assessment for the whole village and have not sent a housing options survey to EVERY house in the village.

Does Chinnor need these houses for the future of the village or is it just the developers greed which will cut up more green fields for corporate gain.

I wonder what is the point of the CNP. The developers for sites CH-20 and CH-1 have taken their appeals to the Planning Inspectorate and have won. That's 200 houses that the village doesn't need.

I have provided comments via email to 'Chinnorneighbourplan@outlook.com'. As there is concern as to whether comments are being received and or posted, could I ask for a confirmation to my email.

Regarding the site behind Greenwood Meadow, I think a better option would be to have the traffic using the Kiln Lakes access and pedestrians coming thro. Greenwood Meadow, making this a safer option

Someone really should have been updating this webpage daily. The graphic at the top of the page thinks there are 5 days left until Thursday 24th March. According to my calendar that's tomorrow!

Tried to email my thoughts and it appears to go to an insecure site. Is this going to be fixed by the deadline?

SODC has issued its report on the 2031 Local Plan refined options will the committee be taking the comments regarding sites into account. It says little support for sites proposed in this plan.

Neither email address is working. How are we supposed to raise comments?

The email link at the top of the page send to be routing to an address that doesn't exist! It's directing to chinnorplanning@outlook.com rather than the address given.

I think it is a really bad idea to build 160 more houses in Mill Lane. There are already serious traffic issues in this area of the village

As a minor point on the plan, the note about new development being serviced with super-fast broadband should ideally be more specific. Fibre-to-the-Home is far superior to FTTC.

The continuous expansion of Chinnor is NOT sustainable. Chinnor is already well on the way to being a sizeable town. If this continues it will soon join up with Crowell and Bledlow.

With regard to our Parish Council's objection to the Mill Lane /Thame road development submitted to S.O.D.C. it is pathetic. As someone once said, it's like being savaged by a dead sheep.

How many of you objectors have opposed the Mill Lane/Thame road development via the current application under consideration with S.O.D.C? not nearly enough.

Apologies... order changed for some reason so comment is there just not where it was yesterday!

My comment posted yesterday is no longer here? Censorship? Surely not!

Wrong link may mean that you don't receive all the comments via email as some people might give up

Link on your homepage - Chinnorneighbourplan@outlook.com comes up with Chinnorplanning@outlook.com which doesn't work!!!

If you go ahead with the 2 sites on Mill lane the increased traffic will be dangerous to the School children & people using the MUGA.Selection Criteria inc Middle way is also invalid.Strongly object!

I object to the Mill Lane sites for development as this goes beyond the building line destroying countryside, hedges and the wildlife and plants this supports.

I believe the criteria for choosing most suitable sites are inaccurate and incomplete. The Middle Way retail centre is of no significance. Criteria should include safety of access to these centres.

The increase in traffic from new houses as well as new houses in P.Risborough would be unacceptable for Safety of pedestrians and cyclists on Mill lane and Estover Way

I object strongly to the Mill lane developments as the increase in traffic would put too much pressure on this area with 1 school and 2 nurseries and a much used playing fields / MUGA site.

test

I strongly object to houses being built near Estover Way. Cars already use this area like a race track and Chinnor does not have the infrastructure to cope with new houses especially in this area.

When will people learn Chinnor is a village lets not turn this into a town where future generations can enjoy the countryside and its surroundings not bricks and mortar. No to any new houses.

I strongly object to the proposed new houses at Estover Way. This area is already congested with cars for the school and with so many children this proposal is like an accident waiting to happen.

Strongly object to proposed development on Mill Lane. Area is already busy without extra vehicles. Not good for children walking/cycling to school & using Whites Field for football/MUGA.

The building of 160 houses in Mill Lane even split between two sites is a vast overdevelopment for this area.With possibly 300 extra vehicles using Mill Lane,with its primary school and two nursery schools,and Estover Way which is already congested with p

Following my previous comment I propose the steering group to look into alternative sites towards the north of the village together with a plan to build a bypass road around the village.

I understand the need to build more houses in Chinnor, but I am against the proposal to include the land behind Glynswood and Greenwood Avenue as a reserve site.

Could the proposed housing developments on Mill Lane be used to reduce traffic through the village by accessing them from the B4445 then a link round the back of the village to the B4009?

My key issue lack of plans to deal with the risk of accidents both to podestrian and cars on the main roads through the village and Mill Lane which will only get worse over time and with new housing.

Plan states that planning application P14/S4024/O for land north of Mill Lane is pending determination. WRONG! Planning permission was refused for this application on 23/12/15

Definitely no By-pass as this would leave the opportunity to infill with more housing in future.

Smaller sites, scattered around the village would be a much better option, allowing opportunities for local builders and trade people rather than the likes of giants such as Taylor Wimpey.

If building does go ahead on the fields behind Greenwood Avenue I would like the access to the site to be made via the Kiln Lakes estate please, this to me would be a fair compromise.

Appreciate the Country as a whole needs more housing, but 140 houses in Mill Lane adjacent to the school is not a good proposal. Far too much traffic so close to a school.

Utter madness, we are totally opposed to this . A site closer to B4009 makes better sense. The increase in traffic will be immense, all around a school. Someone with some sense stop this going ahead.

Mill Lane is already a busy and sometimes dangerous road. The traffic and pedestrians aswell as people using it as a cut-through to avoid congested main road means it can't handle more people and cars

Including Middle Way in the assessment is absurd as it's industrial. Take MW out & CH7/CH8 Have the same scores as CH16/CH17/CH20/CH21. Adding 300+cars to a dangerous road near school/nursery is crazy

Strongly object. There is a Primary Sch and 2 Nursery's on Mill Lane also bus stops for the Secondary Sch. This road is already very dangerous without adding 300+ cars. Child safety should be priority

Chinnor is supposed to be a village - if all these houses are built it will slowly become a town which we do not want. There are not the facilities for that and will cause much disruption. Opposed!!

This a test

Totally in opposition to the proposed plan to build more houses on Mill Lane. Our Village will become a very noisy and countryside will be lost.

To CNP committee

Will the comments below be taken into account or should everyone send their objections in an email?

I object to this ill conceived plan for Mill lane, a reduction in traffic rather than an increase is required to lessen the impact of noise & pollution/Parking will also be an issue.

Totally disagree with the Mill Lane/Estover Way dev'ment due to traffic concerns & proxmity of the school!

Totally disagree with both these developments. Access issues on and around Cherry Tree / Mill Lane now without extra traffic. 3 strong objections here.

why do they want to build next to a school and 2 nursery schools. It's dangerous already with all the traffic without adding more. Strongly object

There is already the Bellway development, plus homes at Kiln Lake for sale in a village with few amenities and lots of traffic. Very strongly object.

These plans had hundreds of objections yet these have been totally ignored. Who are the steering group representing? These sites are totally unsuitable.

Just reading through the comments and noticed that an earlier comment that I posted here has disappeared. Censorship?

I gather the 'Middle Way shops' were why the farm end of Mill Lane was favoured. OK if you want plumbing fittings or a new bath. There is nothing else. There are no shops.

I strongly object to Mill Lane developments. Chinnor needs you to fight any additional developments. Keep the village a community. listen to the residents who are all saying no. Listen to us.

Having 150 houses on the Mill lane side is a terrible idea, it will put so much pressure on current round which is accessed for the primary school, nursery, and park,

I strongly object to the plan of 150 houses on Mill Lane. Both sites surround the primary school and where will the possible 300+ kids and the 300+ cars go..? Please re-consider

There were over 220 objections to the site CHI7 (Mill lane) and there was a lot of disruption due to the fire at SODC so there were many more who couldn't object in time. ..!!

Also the infrastructure isn't there for all these new houses. Try making a Dr's app or get a prescription, they do their best but there are too many people in the village & our amenities can't cope!

There is no way Mill Lane or Estover Way can cope with all this new traffic, also the safety aspects of getting to windmill, Jack & Jill and Mill Lane School.

The Mill Lane site has previously been turned down! As you'll be aware for very valid reasons. Therefore why is this site even being suggested again??

I strongly object to both sites. Both sites are totally unsuitable for road infrastructure, school safety. Additional access would needs serious thought. The 71 house site preferred

Sadly1 It would appears that the best argument against Democracy is a five minuet talk with a district councillor for they do not seem to have any consideration for us who live here, only that they mu

The recent Report: 'Every Breath we Take' by the Royal College of Physicians points out the damage done by harmful emissions to children when close to schools.

Strongly object to the housing development in Mill Lane. Keep our village a village! There is not enough infrastructure for such an influx of people. GP's, shops, roads, parking - are already bursting

Strongly object to the plan proposing nearly 150 new houses to surround school and preschools on an already busy and dangerous road.

Stongly object to the two proposed sites on Mill Lane, on the grounds of compromised safety to nursery & school children; also older children & elderly people using the school & public buses.

I have sent an e-mail is more representative of my objection's that the brief note below ........... not happy

To whom this may concern;

I have lived along Cherry Tree Road for some 23 years in idyllic surroundings - the village even getting national accreditation of a great place to live and best village.

Ridiculous idea to build more houses until facilities / infrastructure are improved. Not enough shops already...where will the children go to school....the local chemist cannot cope as it is....

We strongly object to the two sites on Mill Lane. There is not a single safe crossing along Estover Way and an increase in an already busy road is going to have disastrous consequences!

We strongly object to this proposal to include the 2 sites on Mill Lane in the Neighbourhood Plan, based on dangerous levels of traffic congestion,over development and SODC's refusal.

We totally apose to this stupid housing proposal. The roads are busy enough with speeding cars and a primary and nursery school being bwteen these two estates. Is there going to be another doctors?

Madness! A plan already rejected by SODC. Infrastructure that wouldn't be able to cope. Chinnor is becoming a JOKE!

at present mill lane is the least congested road in the village because people park their cars on the road maybe as a protest we should park on the road

may be someone would like to advise me how i get on and off my drive if these road proposals are realised

how can this be a fair percentage representation as there are only 71 houses in mill lane who may be against these developments why on earth does mill lane need to be blocked off at all

Hello, please can you tell me why you are recommending the lower site, opposite Estover Way, for development when it has been refused on the grounds that it is unsuitable? Thames Water report?

I live opposite to where this this awful development is being considered! It will change everything about this beautiful part of the village. Hasnt this already been turned down? wonder why!!!!

This is crazy. The local infrastructure is already strained to breaking point and will never cope with the demands of so much new housing in such a confined area.

Chinnors infrastructure will not be able to cope with more houses and it will make Mill Lane a very dangerous road. It's already like a rat race when school starts and finishes.

I think the village has many things to put in place before we have any more building there is plenty going on around the village at the moment

Thanks Zena, I'll be there.

I would like to help in any way, but I cannot use Live Windows for some reason!

How can I join or be kept in contact

There is large area of verge on the Mill Rd and Thame road that could be used. I have seen mini mini roundabouts ie, Thame, pass John Hampton School, at the T junction, it only needs a small one

Are there anymore thoughts for a mini roundabout , junction Lower Rd, Mill Lane, Station Rd and Thame Rd. This is a bottle neck now let alone when 300 more cars pass through?

It is great that the website has been updated with people's ideas at the launch event! Well done! Will it be possible to add www.facebook.com/chinnorneighbourhoodplan on the home page, please?

Can you let us know what land is available so that some thought could be put into what may be placed in those areas?

Very good website!!
