Buckinghamshire Local Plan

Buckinghamshire Local Plan 2045 Consultation

 

Buckinghamshire Council has launched a public consultation on the Draft Local Plan for Buckinghamshire to 2045.

This consultation, known as the Regulation 19 Proposed Submission Consultation, is the final opportunity for residents, businesses and organisations to comment before the Local Plan is submitted for independent examination.

Wendover Parish Council is preparing its response and would like to hear the views of local residents to help inform that submission.

​

About the Draft Local Plan

 

The Draft Local Plan sets out how Buckinghamshire could accommodate future housing and employment needs while protecting the Green Belt and planning the infrastructure required to support growing communities through to 2045.

​

The proposals include:
 

  • Around 91,000 new homes across Buckinghamshire.

  • Approximately 270 hectares of employment land.

  • More than 500 infrastructure projects, requiring at least £6 billion of investment.

​

You can find out more by reading Buckinghamshire Council's consultation documents using the links at the bottom of this page.

​

Why does this matter to Wendover?

 

Although no significant new housing is currently proposed within Wendover itself, Wendover Parish Council is concerned that development surrounding the parish could place increasing pressure on:

​

  • Roads and traffic

  • Parking

  • Healthcare services

  • Schools and education

  • Local infrastructure

​

The Parish Council is also concerned that continued development around Wendover could reduce the village's distinct and historic identity by bringing it closer to the wider expansion of Aylesbury.

​

Wendover Parish Council's Response

 

Wendover Parish Council will submit a formal response to Buckinghamshire Council on behalf of the community.

Given the importance of this consultation, we are working alongside neighbouring parish councils and a planning consultant to prepare a detailed response.

​

Your feedback will help us understand the issues that matter most to our residents and may help inform the Parish Council's submission.
