If you would like to join the visit to Perch Hill on 2 May 2024, please let us know by next Friday as we need to confirm the numbers with Sarah Raven.

Meeting – Friday 22 March 2024 at 8.00pm

We have been lucky enough to book a speaker for Friday 22 March. He is Terry Cann and he going to talk to us about “The Legacy of Geoff Hamilton”. We look forward to seeing as many of you that can make this meeting.

Meeting – Friday 30 August 2024 at 8.00pm

The 2024 HAGA programme has “TBA” for the talk on 30 August 2024. We now have a speaker – Katharine Woods who will speak on “The Blitz as a catalyst for greening London”.

Katharine opened her garden in Great Missenden for the snowdrops, where some of our members visited on 15 February. I have been to a couple of talks by Katharine and she is a great researcher of her subject and a fascinating speaker.

Your Input is Requested, Please!

The full proposals for the future management of  Little Burnham Field in Hughenden Valley, Cockshoot Wood in Four Ashes and Vincent’s Meadow in Naphill have now been published.
Implementation of these proposals will require the cooperation of local residents and therefore it is important that the proposals are fully understood and that any comments are communicated to the Parish Council as soon as possible by emailing feedback@hughenden-pc.gov.uk
Links to the three proposals can be found on our website at

RAF Halton SPD consultation

Dear Consultee,

We want to hear your views on our draft RAF Halton Supplementary Planning Document.

We have launched a consultation asking people to give their views on a draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) which provides a development framework for RAF Halton. This is a site allocated for growth in the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan 2011-2031 (VALP), which was adopted in 2021. The site is located east of Halton village and on the edge of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Buckinghamshire Council has worked in conjunction with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (part of the Ministry of Defence) to develop a clear framework and principles for the development of the site as it transfers from military to residential use. The SPD builds on the policy D-HAL003 in the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan to provide guidance on how the site should be redeveloped. It sets out the context and key principles for development to follow, whilst also providing a plan to inform comprehensive development across the site ensuring that the necessary infrastructure is delivered in a timely manner.

The SPD, together with supporting information on how to respond to the consultation, is available at https://yourvoicebucks.citizenspace.com/planning/raf-halton.
The consultation closes on Monday 4th March 2024 at 23:59.

Alternatively, a copy of the SPD document is available to view at:

Amersham: Amersham Library, Chiltern Avenue, Amersham HP6 5AH
Aylesbury: Aylesbury Library, Walton Street, Aylesbury HP20 1UA
High Wycombe: Council Offices, Queen Victoria Rd, High Wycombe HP11 1BB
