Planning committee

Decided by Buckinghamshire East & South Buckinghamshire Area Planning Committee on 16 Jun 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Approved

As officers recommended.

Officers advised granting permission because the homes would meet Green Belt exceptions without unacceptable effects on character, neighbours, highways, flooding, ecology or landscape.
The parish council and residents raised concerns about Green Belt harm, traffic, parking, flooding, sewage, ecology, landscape and housing need.
Members voted to approve the application, subject to a planning obligation and conditions.

Site constraints 7

Green belt: London

Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.

Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm. Some green belt land can count as grey belt, where it does not strongly serve the green belt's purposes. The council decides this in its green belt assessment or on each application, so we do not mark it here.

Article 4 direction

Whole District excluding the Town of Chesham - Poultry production.. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.

An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Also on the record

Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Chalfont St Peter built-up area; Priority habitat about 44 m away: Deciduous woodland; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
