On Saturday 15th September we held our second public display of the excellent work that has
been done by the team. This included the research and analysis from the feedback we have
had from the village, including the key issues that Ickford faces, what you like and don’t like,
and what you would like to see preserved in the community. 100 villagers stopped by the
Village Hall to see the display boards, and to discuss the issues with the team members. More
comments and ideas were forthcoming and these will now be incorporated in the ongoing
process. For those of you unable to attend DO see the presentation boards and reports on
our website www.visionforickford.co.uk and post you thoughts and ideas or email them to
info@visionforickford.co.uk. WE WANT YOUR ONGOING INVOLVEMENT, THOUGHTS AND
IDEAS into the Neighbourhood Plan as this will help to forge the future of our community for
us all.

There was also a lot of interest in the topical and proposed Oxford – Cambridge Expressway,
especially given the recent decision on the preferred corridor. Whilst this is outside the scope
of the Neighbourhood Plan we are monitoring this closely in case it has any impact on the
plan.

In respect of the planning applications and the Vale of Aylesbury Plan [VALP] it seems as if the
Inspector reviewing the evidence for Pound Green Field may determine on the basis of the
current adopted policies. In other words in so far as the VALP is concerned it will be only when
the examiners final report is issued that would this have bearing and effect, and that is now
unlikely to be until spring next year - 2019. All of this makes the Neighbourhood Plan more
important, and for this your input and support is crucial.

Thank you,
Martin Armitstead
