Have Your Say on the Buckinghamshire Local Plan
Buckinghamshire Council is preparing a new Local Plan that will guide development across the county for the next 20 years. The plan includes provision for 95,000 new homes and will shape where development takes place, what supporting infrastructure is required, and how communities grow over time.
This is an important moment for residents to have their say.
What does this mean for Wendover?
Wendover lies within the Chilterns National Landscape, which provides important landscape protections. However, development proposed in surrounding areas could still have a direct impact on our village and its services.
Growth elsewhere in Buckinghamshire may affect:
Traffic levels and pressure on local roads
Demand for school places
Capacity at GP surgeries and healthcare services
Parking and other essential infrastructure
Planning decisions made now will influence how our area functions and feels for decades to come.
Why your response matters
The Local Plan will help determine not only how many homes are built, but where they are located and what infrastructure must accompany them. Community feedback plays an important role in shaping these decisions.
By taking part in the consultation, you can help ensure that Wendover’s needs and concerns are clearly represented.
How to take part
Residents can complete the online survey here:
The consultation closes 11.59pm on Monday 16 March 2026.
We encourage all residents to take a few minutes to review the proposals and submit their views. The choices made now will help shape the future of Wendover and Buckinghamshire as a whole.
Public consultation is a good example of why meaningful involvement matters when decisions can affect a wider community. Giving people a chance to raise concerns and contribute views can improve both transparency and the quality of the final plan.
That same principle is relevant to health and safety portfolio evidence, where consultation records, meeting notes, worker feedback and action logs can help demonstrate that employees were genuinely involved in identifying risks and improving workplace arrangements.
