Description: The Denham Airport Safeguarding Requirements and Arrangements sets out information for Local Planning Authorities to use to decide when Denham Airport should be consulted on a planning application and given the opportunity to comment on it. The basis for this is as follows:a. The provisions of the ‘Town and Country Planning (safeguarded aerodromes, technical sites and military explosives storage areas) Direction 2002’ and DfT Circular, 1/2003 require licensed aerodromes to protect their locations from the effects of possible adverse development.b. The Civil Aviation Authority requires all licensed aerodromes to comply with the provisions of its Civil Aviation Publication, CAP168 ‘Licensing of Aerodromes’ which sets out the geometry for the OLS.c. Civil Aviation Publication, CAP 738 Safeguarding of Aerodromes’, October 2020, states that the Aerodrome Operator is responsible for safeguarding and that the operator holds ‘expert opinion on safeguarding their site’ in compliance with regulatory safeguarding requirements.Contact: Ann Bartaby (ann@bartaby.org / 01747 850007).

Description: This dataset shows common land registered under the Commons Registration Act 1965 and any commons which were exempt from the 1965 Act in Buckinghamshire. Common land is land subject to the rights of other people to graze animals, collect wood etc, or is waste land of the manor.
All common land has an owner, whether it is a local authority, the National Trust or private individual.
The public has the right to walk on all commons where previously there was no legal access, under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. Some commons already had a right for the public before that act and those rights persist. For example, on many commons, there is a right to ride horses under section 193 of the Law of Property Act 1925.
If anyone wants to undertake works on common land, they must apply for the consent of the Secretary of State for Environment in England (section 38 of the Commons Act 2006) in addition to any planning or other consent that is required. Certain works are exempt from these procedures.
If works have been undertaken without consent, the landowner, commoners or local authority may be able to take action and, under certain circumstances, the public can too. For precise extents of the boundary of a common, the register map should be consulted.

Description: When a building is recognised as being of special architectural or historic interest it is added to the statutory ‘List’. This is compiled by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on advice from Historic England. Buildings on the List are given one of three grades which denote their level of importance, Grade I being the highest and Grade II the lowest: • Grade I (one) ¬ of exceptional interest • Grade II* (two star) ¬ particularly important • Grade II (two) ¬ of special interest Structures that might not be classified as ‘buildings’ ¬ such as railings, gate piers, walls, war memorials, gravestones, post boxes and telephone boxes ¬ can all be Listed Buildings. Related to Listed Buildings are Certificates of Immunity (COI) and Building Preservation Notices (BPN).Last update: 14/11/2024
Description: Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) are a statutory designation made under Section 21 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 by principal local authorities. Parish and Town Councils can also declare LNRs but they must have the powers to do so delegated to them by a principal local authority. LNRs are for people and wildlife. They are places with wildlife or geological features that are of special interest locally. They offer people opportunities to study or learn about nature or simply to enjoy it. They range from windswept coastal headlands, ancient woodlands and flower-rich meadows to former inner city railways, long abandoned landfill sites and industrial areas now re-colonised by wildlife. They are an impressive natural resource which makes an important contribution to England's biodiversity. This national dataset is 'indicative' not 'definitive'. Definitive information can only be provided by individual local authorities and you should refer directly to their information for all purposes that require the most up to date and complete dataset.Full metadata can be viewed on data.gov.uk.There are no public access constraints to this data.

Description: Aerodrome - Height Colour ZonesMOD Safeguarding data relating to RAF Weston-on-the-Green. The term 'height limits' refers to the fact that safeguarding criteria for these zones is defined by the development height. This dataset sets out safeguarding consultation criteria based on the maximum allowable height for a development at a given location within RAF Weston-on-the-Green safeguarding zone footprint. There are five categories, each of which are delineated by a colour;Colour ZoneCriteriaPurple (Any Development)Consultation required for any development or change of use of landRed (10.7m)Consultation required for any building structure or works exceeding 10.7m in height above ground levelGreen (15.2m)Consultation required for any building structure or works exceeding 15.2m in height above ground levelYellow (45.7m)Consultation required for any building structure or works exceeding 45.7m in height above ground levelBlue (91.4m)Consultation required for any building structure or works exceeding 91.4m in height above ground levelDIO Safeguarding should be consulted on all potential developments that fit the above criteria whenever they are situated within a relevant safeguarding zone. Birdstrike Zones Birdstrike Zones represent the locations in which DIO Safeguarding should be consulted on developments that would attract or encourage increased bird populations within a specified distance of RAF Weston-on-the-Green.

Scheduled Monuments can not include ecclesiastical or residential buildings (except for associated caretaker’s dwellings), and unlike Listed Buildings they are not assigned grades.

Description: This dataset shows the registered Town and Village Greens across Buckinghamshire. Town and Village greens are usually areas of land within defined settlements or geographical areas which local inhabitants can go onto for the exercise of lawful sports and pastimes. Typically, these might include organised or ad-hoc games, picnics, fetes and other similar activities.
Section 12 of the Inclosure Act 1857 makes it a criminal offence to:
- wilfully cause injury or damage to any fence on a green;
- wilfully take any cattle or other animals onto a green without lawful authority; - wilfully lay any manure, soil, ashes, rubbish or other material on a green;
- undertake any act which causes injury to the green (e.g. digging turf); or
- undertake any act which interrupts the use or enjoyment of a green as a place of exercise and recreation (e.g. fencing a green so as to prevent access).
Section 29 of the Commons Act 1876 makes it a public nuisance to:
- encroach on a green (e.g. extending the boundary of an abutting property so as to exclude people from that area);
- inclose a green (i.e. by fencing it in, whether or not the effect is to exclude public access);
For precise extents of the boundary of a green, the register map should be consulted.
