The human version (we wrote this, not the council)This policy protects the delivery of two major rail projects. Development must not prejudice High Speed 2 or its environmental mitigation such as woodland and screening, and construction impacts on communities must be managed. It also protects East West Rail, including the proposed Aylesbury Link from Aylesbury station to Claydon Junction, and future upgrades to the Aylesbury to Princes Risborough line. New structures over these lines must allow for future double tracking and overhead electrification. Applicants within 50 metres of the routes are encouraged to consult Network Rail early.

Tips for a response that counts

One focused page beats ten rambling ones. Read the full guide to consultations

  1. Submit a formal representation. This is the only response that must be considered at the plan’s independent examination. The emails below are worth sending too, but they do not count as representations. Open the official response portal

    In the portal, open the chapter or policy you want to comment on and press Comment on that item. There is no single box for the whole plan, and you will need to create an account first.

    Write your comments before you open the portal: a notes app, an email draft or paper all work. Paste each one in and keep a copy. Ticking policies as you read builds the draft for you on the My response page.

  2. Email your ward councillors. They voted on this plan and represent you. The draft raises the consultation window and the missing costs.
