Planning and Development updates

Next steps for Little Chalfont Park

With outline permission secured in 2023, and Hill Group taking on the scheme, the next steps are a series of more detailed planning applications. Hill has been working closely with Buckinghamshire Council officers, and local groups to finalise the plans.

If you require more technical detail on any points relating to the original outline planning permission, please head to the Buckinghamshire Council planning portal here to view application PL/21/4632/OA.

What’s happening on site this summer?

Update 16 July 2024

Over the next couple of months survey work will be undertaken, including topographical, trees and bats.

Also, the outline planning permission requires the developer to undertake archaeological evaluation on the site, and Hill has appointed an archaeological specialist who started trenching works on Monday 8th July 2024.

The work will last for approximately 30 working days, between 8am and 4.30pm.  It will be carried out by a small team of six or seven people and will involve the digging of 94 trenches across all parts of the site to be developed.

Update 4 July 2024

The design code was submitted to Buckinghamshire Council on 4 July 2024. Download a copy here. Included as part of the design code, are parameter plans, the regulatory plan and the strategic landscape plan.

Once the design code is approved, future reserved matters applications (more detailed plans) will be based on these agreed design principles.

The reserved matters applications (RMAs) will show the proposed design of the homes including details of landscaping, layout and scale of the development. These plans are evolving based on feedback we’ve received from residents and stakeholders and there will be another public consultation on the plans in the autumn.
