A Vision for DAws Hill PRESENTATION TO THE DAWS HILL AREA REFERENCE GROUP DEVEloPMEnt oPtions wycombe District council have been considering three options for how best to develop these sites: 1) Development of rAf Daws Hill only 2) comprehensive development of both sites (phased) 3) comprehensive development of both sites (not phased) the District council ‘s Position statement proposes the development of just raf daws hill at this time but with consideration to the future development of abbey barn south the decision about when to develop Abbey Barn south is therefore still to be made “ the Council’s preferred approach is to see the development of just the raf daws hill site at this point in time, whilst ensuring that the development of the raf daws hill site is designed and delivered in such a way as to enable the abbey barn south site to be developed at some time in the future in a way that fully integrates it with development on the raf daws hill site.” (wycombe District council Position statement, July 20 1 1)

A Vision for DAws Hill PRESENTATION TO THE DAWS HILL AREA REFERENCE GROUP wHy PlAn BotH sitEs now? Berkeley does not intend to submit a planning application at this time, however there is a need for both sites to be planned comprehensively to secure added value for the local community. this will: Ensure that existing and future infrastructure has capacity and can be delivered Make sure that each site delivers the full infrastructure requirement Maximise and safeguard the benefjts of the comprehensive development for the community optimise integration and connectivity Provide co-ordinated design and placemaking Avoid piecemeal development A failure to plan comprehensively now will create the risk that a future comprehensive development is poorly integrated with an incoherent feel
