over front bay window; 5 Stanhope Close
The Parish Council opposed the application with the following comments,

08/36 GROWTH AGENDA - Sustainability appraisal Report

Cllr Bowles spoke on the AVDC Preferred Option on the southern side of Aylesbury. To
date the Parish Council had conducted 2 meetings with Halton Parish Council, District
Councillors and the Wendover Society to discuss their responses. It was evident that
each group had similar concerns on the current proposals. Cllr Dr. King proposed to
challenge the interpretation of the data presented by AVDC and would be putting forward
evidence based responses, after having identified inconsistencies in the report.
Cllr Dr King asked that a sub-committee be formed to finalise a composite response.
