PSDF presentation update on Permissive Path and Phase 3 Trees and Planting Minutes: Andrew Joynt, Pinewood Studios gave a presentation on Phase 3 trees and planting. It was confirmed palisade fencing would be screened by planting and woodland. Some key statistics on planting were listed below:
A query was received about meshing around the fencing and the accessibility of animals. It was confirmed the palisade fencing took out three stays to provide mammal gaps. The post and rail fences with meshing would prevent litter but mammals would still be able to move freely.
There was concern around the number of TPO trees that had died and if these would be replaced once phase 3 started to the current growth they should be had they not died. In addition, there was a request to consider the maintenance of planted trees to prevent decay and death. There would be advance planting on the southern boundary as there would be no ground disturbance if this area was planted first. Furthermore, the landscape contractor would include a year’s maintenance of the trees and this would be part of the planning conditions going forward. The plan would include information on what trees were being removed.
There was a request for an update on Seven Hills. This was part of the screen hub application and would be delivered later as part of that application. Five Points Roundabout was part of the PSDF and would be delivered earlier as part of that framework.
It was advised there was currently no update on Alderbourne Farm.
An update on the Screen Hub was provided. Buckinghamshire Council Strategic Sites Committee approved the application at their last meeting. The decision would now be considered by the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. The draft Section 106 agreement was available on public access. After a query it was confirmed the Secretary of State had been provided with the information and no judgement to approve or call in the decision had been made or any timeframes provided. The Group would be notified as soon as they heard anything.
The Five Points Roundabout Scheme provided mitigation as part of the PSDF and would be presented to the Strategic Sites Committee with the target date for a decision at their meeting on 24th March 2022. It was confirmed the application was the same as the one approved in 2013 by the Council with a minor change to the crossing to remove the island to make it safer.
