Planning - Bryants Bottom

Speculative Land Sale at Bryants Bottom

The permanent Article 4 notices were served on the land at Bryants Bottom in March 2004, The road to Bryants Bottom In simple terms Article 4 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 means the owners cannot erect fences, walls or other means of enclosure, nor can they use the land for holding a market or motor car and motorcycle racing.

More recently, HVRA has been lobbying central Government in a number of areas to tackle this type of speculation.

This, together with the other sites locally is causing much consternation amongst District and County Councillors as well as Aylesbury MP, David Liddington. We have had a meeting with Mr Liddington to discuss ways in which he can draw attention in the House of Commons to this contentious problem in the Green Belt and AONB.
