[HTS-members] Burnham Beeches consultation

[HTS Secretary]

Dear Member

 

I attach information on a public consultation over Burnham Beeches starting
next week.

It is relevant to Taplow as we are within the 5.6km zone. The zone has
already been cited in an objection to the currently undecided housing
development application on the Old Boathouse site in Mill Lane.

Subject: Consultation on the Burnham Beeches Special Area of Conservation
Supplementary Planning Document

 I am writing to inform you that from 29 July 2020 to 3 September 2020
Buckinghamshire Council will be consulting the public on new planning
guidance to protect Burnham Beeches. As you may be aware Burnham Beeches is
designated as a Special Area of Conservation. This is the UK's highest level
of protection and the Council looks at different ways to help preserve and
protect this significant and historic site.

We will be consulting on a mitigation and avoidance strategy which will help
the Council manage the impacts of new homes within a 500 metre zone and a
5.6 kilometres zone of the Burnham Beeches boundary. This consultation
document is a Supplementary Planning Document; in other words it supplements
the Councils existing policies to protect Burnham Beeches. It sets out the
Council's plans to protect the ancient trees from the potential impacts of
increased recreational activity, which new housing may create. The public
will be able to view the draft document on the councils website and a hard
copy of the document will also be available to view at Burnham Community
Library
<https://www.buckscc.gov.uk/services/libraries/find-a-library/burnham/> ,
Windsor Lane, Burnham, SL1 7HR during opening hours. Any comments the public
may have can be submitted online, by email at
planning.policy.csb at buckinghamshire.gov.uk
<mailto:planning.policy.csb at buckinghamshire.gov.uk>  or by post to the
contact and address below. If you have any questions about this
consultation, please contact the email address or phone number below.

With best wishes
