Are you interested in finding out more about the plans local landowners and developers have for the future development of Buckingham? The Buckingham Neighbourhood Plan is a legally enforceable planning document, focused just on Buckingham, which allows towns to grow in a planned way, in the locations (and to a local design code) agreed on by residents. The first plan was made in 2015, and it now needs to be renewed.
What is the Buckingham Neighbourhood Development Plan (BNDP) Regulation 16 Consultation?
The draft Buckingham Neighbourhood Plan was submitted to Buckinghamshire Council on 6 December 2024. The Plan can now proceed to the final public consultation, known as the Regulation 16 Consultation.
Buckinghamshire Council will be administering the Regulation 16 Consultation, which will run for a period of seven weeks, commencing on Thursday 12th December 2024 until Thursday 30 January 2025 – responses must be received by 11:59pm.
Following the Consultation, the comments received will be passed to an independent examiner, to be appointed by Buckinghamshire Council, who will consider the representations and determine if the draft Plan should be put to a community referendum.
To comment on the draft Neighbourhood Plan, where possible, please use Buckinghamshire Council’s Consultation Portal where all of the documents that form part of the consultation can be found.
