Village Signs
Have any of you noticed the new village signs in Cholesbury? What do you think about them? Would you like to see similar signs in our Villages? We have seen what a difference a makeover has made to the Village Hall entrance. If you would like our Village signs to be upgraded then please email contact@bellingdon.com with any ideas and suggestions and we will take these ideas to the parish council.
Village Fete
The Village Fete was a great success, we had beautiful weather and lots of lovely stalls and attractions. Pictures will be added to the Village Fete page shortly. If you have comments about the day or ideas for the 2011 fete please contact fete@bellingdon.com.
Playground News
The Village Hall Committee have recently been involved in submitting a bid for a playbuilder grant to provide a playground at the Village Hall. The Fantastic News is that we have won the bid and now have a fund to turn our playground dreams into reality. Click here for more information.
Bellingdon and Asheridge Village Hall gets a makeover...
Villagers came together on Saturday morning and gave the village hall a lick of paint and some TLC. Many of you have already seen the new entrance to the site and judging by the favourable comments, you seem to like what has been done. More improvements to follow, why not come down and have a look. If you like what you see why not hire the hall for a party or event.
Planning Application...
In 2009 the village saw an application for a Village Green status to be given to the land at the end of Bloomfield cottages. This application went to appeal in Feb 2010 and recently the inspector responsible for the case has announced that the application should be refused. Chiltern District Council (CDC) have agreed with this decision.
Paradigm housing who own the land have made an application to CDC to build a number of houses and flats on the land. For more information please click on application number to be taken to the CDC site. CH/2010/0586/FA
The Bull
The owners of The Bull pub, Fortitude Investments, have gone to appeal on both their second application for it to be reopened as a pub and their application for it to be converted to residential. Both appeals will be considered together by the same inspector.
We are unlikely to hear the outcome of the inspectors decision until June, when we do the site will be updated and an email will be distributed. If you would like your address to be added to the list please write to contact@bellingdon.com.
