Planning committee
Decided by Buckinghamshire Central & North Buckinghamshire Area Planning Committee on 13 May 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the benefits were not significantly outweighed by the identified harms, subject to mitigation and conditions.
- The parish council, ward councillors and residents raised concerns about the settlement boundary, countryside, heritage, ecology, highways and future development.
- The committee defeated the approval motion and resolved to refuse the application over countryside, sustainability and Chiltern Beechwoods impacts.
