Dear Consultee,

Buckinghamshire Council is preparing a new Local Plan that will identify where and how future development should take place up to 2045.

We are now undertaking public consultation on our draft Local Plan and would like to invite you to have your say on the draft proposals.

The draft Local Plan for Buckinghamshire has been prepared in two parts:

Part A: The Local Plan vision and objectives, the spatial strategies for housing and employment, including ways to meet travelling communities’ accommodation needs.

Part B: Development Management Policies.

The draft Local Plan documents, accompanying Sustainability Appraisal, the completed evidence studies, and details on how to respond to the consultation can be viewed at https://www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/draft-local-plan

A virtual exhibition room has been produced which is available to view at https://buckinghamshire.oc2.uk/exhibition/1

The consultation period runs from Wednesday 17 September to 23:59pm on Wednesday 29 October 2025.

The Council are also undertaking a Call for Gypsy and Traveller Sites. We are seeking sites to help meet our Gypsy and Traveller needs. Sites can be promoted by any landowner or developer wishing to promote their site to help meet this need.

Sites can be submitted to www.buckinghamshire.oc2.uk/document/90

Open until 23.59pm on Wednesday 29th October 2025.
