No, not as of 31st December.
This fight is against the CDC's Draft Core Strategy proposals, of which Holy Cross is a part.
 
That's the answer - what's the question?

Things you need to do to help fight this:

Decision time is close for the development proposals.  The Parish Council has written in the strongest possible terms to CDC, with a list of challenges, but the CDC planners and Councillors will pay most attention to vociferous residents, so please register your objections directly - at their meetings and in writing. 

 
There are three key CDC meetings coming up, open to the public, all at Council Offices, King George V Road, Amersham  HP6 5AW:
- 21st (changed from 27th at the last minute by CDC) January at 6:30pm - Housing and Planning Committee meeting, which considers proposed policies such as the Draft Core Stategy (that's the 700-800 houses for CSP) and recommends them to CDC Cabinet.
- 2nd February at 2:00pm – the CDC Cabinet meeting which will decide on the housing proposals, so this is the most important meeting.
- 23rd February at 6:30pm – the full CDC Council meeting.  On matters as important as this the full CDC Council have to ratify (or can overturn) decisions - so even if the Cabinet doesn't recommend the existing Draft Core Strategy proposals, the Council could overturn that decision.
 
So, two things YOU can do NOW to help stop the developments being approved by CDC:
 
1. attend any of these meetings and make your views clear.
 
2. Write/e-mail to the relevant planners and your CDC Councillors to make sure they hear your objections.  They are:
 
- Carol Castle, Head of Planning Services, Chiltern District Council,  at      King George V Road, Amersham, Bucks, HP6 5AW or e-mail to  ccastle@chiltern.gov.uk
 
- Councilor Nick Rose, CDC cabinet member for Planning and Transport, at Rose Cottage, Ballinger, Great Missenden, HP16 9LE or e-mail to  nrose@chiltern.gov.uk
 
- Councillor John Warder, leader of Chiltern Ditrict Council,
Chalfont View, Lincoln Road, Chalfont St Peter  SL9 9TJ or email to jwarder@chiltern.gov.uk 
 
- Councillor Linda Smith, Deputy Leader of CDC at King George V Road, Amersham, Bucks, HP6 5AW or e-mail to  LSmith@chiltern.gov.uk
 
- Councilor John Wertheim, 52 School Lane, Chalfont St Peter, SL9 9BB or e-mail to jwertheim@chiltern.gov.uk

So, has everyone seen SENSE now?
The silence is deafening!
Come on, let's hear what you think.
If in doubt:

Hey Flyboy... God save us from the Parish Council.  They might cut a hedge or change a light bulb or even worse pick up some litter. Run for the hills!  Do you actually know what Parish Councils  do or are you so wrapped up in your conspiracy theories you've lost sight of reality ? I think it's the District Coucil you just might need to be more concerned about... unless you are really worried about that lamp post that needs attention. http://www.nalc.gov.uk/About_NALC/What_is_a_parish_or_town_council/What_is_a_council.aspx

Don't knock my house down!

I wonder if Fivelive, a former Parish Councillor, would like to comment on this?
I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems scary and weird.

Welcome to the Forum Chilternman.
 
If you have time to go back through this thread you will learn a lot, about the Forum, and about the development plans.
 
Many agree with you that the site should be developed but in a way that enhances the village, but of course this conflicts with the owners getting maximum financial return from developing the site, so it's a matter of how effectively we can fight it.  The Parish Council are on the case (see the survey, and the web site:
 
And watch out for a new action group called SENSE, who successfully defended the development plans at NSE.
 
That's the answer - what's the question?

I have just joined this forum and don't know enough about this housing development although I have just received a questionaire which has several questions about it. Despite being born here for over 50 years ago I have not been in the grounds of the convent and don't know the size of it but 400 is a small village on it's own.
I read in todays news that across Britain there are 300,000 empty homes so why the need for any more, go back to my childhood and look at the pretty village we had and then look at the mess we have now, at busy times you cannot move for traffic and cars are parked on every road all day long. To allow any further housing is a wrong move so that we can stem the flow of destuction to the character of our village. If further development is allowed at the rate it has been over the last 50 years then what will it be like in another 50.
We need a government who will stop the flow of migrants into this country because it is not big enough to cope, we are quite capable of increasing the population on our own without hundreds of thousands of people pouring in from abroad. Maybe then we would not need to keep building, and there would be enough homes to go around.
Think of the huge increase in activity that the infrastucture would never cope with, our hospital is already threatened with closure and they are thinking of adding more to our population.
If any building is undertaken then it should enhance the village not help to destroy it, a few houses with maybe some retirement homes and some affordable housing is about it. Make the area a new little community if it has to be but no more than say 30 houses so that some space is left.
In my opinion it should be left as is and the buildings put to good use, is the old Grange building still in there??

'Only' about 200 showed up, mainly, I imagine, to see the man from Gerald Eve, the HC developing agent.  He faced some tricky questions and fielded most of them by saying that the detail isn't yet agreed, that questions will be addressed, but that outline planning application (expected December 24th!) doesn't require much detail, such as access points and traffic and environmental impact assessments, etc. 
 
A possible new opposition action group along the lines of SENSE used to fighting the NSE development proposals - could be nunsense though.
 
And an interesting presentation from a 'green' group about options for a more sustainable environment in respect of new developments (see also the Global Warming film thread).
 
That's the answer - what's the question?
