A Vision For Growth

 

Welcome to the website of Aylesbury Vale Advantage – the organisation that makes things happen in this, one of the UK’s fastest growing areas.

AVA is a company formed with a clear vision – To help deliver national and local growth objectives to create a vibrant and prosperous Aylesbury Vale, recognised as beneficial by its population.

It’s a significant task. Aylesbury Vale is growing, and will grow considerably in the next couple of decades. There will be thousands of new jobs, thousands of new homes and major new projects and infrastructure.

With such major growth there are inevitably hurdles to overcome. Any big regeneration or growth projects naturally involve many different agencies – Government departments, local authorities, transport and utility companies, developers and businesses to name but a few.

AVA acts as a vital cog in the wheels of change. We:

  • Unlock blockages to growth by bringing parties together to solve problems
  • Speed up the delivery of projects by concentrating on specific issues
  • Consolidate investment to help projects develop

Since our formation in 2004 we have worked with our partners to achieve many improvements for Aylesbury Vale. These include:

  • Securing over £50m of additional investment for Aylesbury Vale
  • Delivering the transport hub linked to the Aylesbury Parkway Railway Station
  • Providing a long term vision for Aylesbury’s new town centre
  • Bringing about green space and public realm improvements
  • Making sure there’s sufficient electricity provision for future growth

This is just a sample of the work we do. We hope you will enjoy exploring this website to find out more.

Aylesbury Vale Advantage (AVA) prioritises projects that unlock blockages to growth, accelerates growth delivery and consolidates investment in growth and renewal areas to facilitate the creation of the sustainable communities programme in Aylesbury Vale. The creation of Aylesbury Vale as a destination of choice with strong economic activity is a key objective.

AVA’s annual business plan defines our current project activity in support of the delivery of infrastructure as defined by the Programme of Development. AVA has led directly on the delivery of key projects and typically delivers a programme of activity through partnership working and close collaboration with public sector partners; either directly as key projects in their own right or on a smaller scale to unblock future growth plans.

Market conditions play a key role and AVA’s partnership approach to project management supports the use of public funds to assist existing development projects and ease the development of new sites.

Two current projects which exemplify this approach are:

  • The town centre plan once approved (and adopted) by Aylesbury Vale District Council will drive and coordinate future activity in the regeneration to ensure the long term viability and vibrancy of Aylesbury town.
  • Aylesbury Transport Studies will facilitate the evidence base to understand and manage the changes in traffic volumes in Aylesbury which will arise from the increase in population and the success of the town centres cultural, leisure and retail offer.

Key project are also delivered by AVA’s partners as part of their statutory roles; i.e. transport and educational related infrastructure falls within the remit of Buckinghamshire County Council with community based infrastructure being delivered by Aylesbury Vale District Council. The Homes and Communities Agency supports AVA in the delivery of housing and The South East of England Development Agency on issues relating to the economy and inward investment.

The majority of AVA’s future projects priorities will arise from the changes which the growth agenda will bring to Aylesbury and The Vale; i.e. the strategic (housing) development areas and their associated infrastructure requirements. A challenge which AVA’s Board and project management system is already gearing up for.

Project updates will be posted here and in the AVA Newsletter which you are invited to subscribe too.
