Why Does This Matter to Wendover?

The Draft Local Plan proposes:

• 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

While no significant new housing is currently proposed within Wendover itself, the 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 believes 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.

To ensure our response reflects local concerns, we are working alongside neighbouring parish councils and an independent planning consultant to prepare a detailed, evidence-based submission. Your feedback will help us understand the issues that matter most to residents.

Public Information Meeting

Wendover Parish Council will be holding a public information meeting on Thursday 20 August 2026 at Wendover Memorial Hall to provide further information about the Draft Local Plan and answer questions.

The meeting will be held in the early evening (exact time to be confirmed).

Residents from Wendover, Halton, Aston Clinton and Weston Turville are warmly invited to attend.

Further details will be published on this page and via our social media channels as soon as they are confirmed.

Thank you for taking the time to have your say. By sharing your views with both Wendover Parish Council and Buckinghamshire Council, you'll be helping to shape the future of Wendover and the wider Buckinghamshire area.
