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
- f 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.”

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
- ptimise 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

trAffic & trAnsPort – A MorE rADicAl solution?
traffjc congestion and poor public transport are key local issues in the Daws Hill area road improvements and new bus services could mitigate the impact of development these are unlikely to deliver a big benefjt to the local community
- r solve existing problems
the reference Group should consider how development in this area can deliver signifjcant benefjts to overcome local concerns about traffjc congestion and public transport should a more radical transport solution be considered?

A MorE rADicAl solution
new bus route and service between Handy cross and the railway station via rAf Daws Hill, Abbey Barn south and the rye using existing roads and new off road bus only routes Avoiding Marlow Hill providing journey time reliability 1 5 minute frequency service 20 minute journey to the station from Handy cross
- perating 6 days a week
it can fund itself once rAf Daws Hill, Abbey Barn south and the Handy cross hub have been built Alternatively, existing bus routes could be signifjcantly improved
