Associated hard and soft landscaping is also planned, owing to the site’s existing “poor quality shrubs to small areas” and ‘damaged, poor quality Tarmac’.

The site is currently vacant having previously been garages, and is presently used as ‘informal parking’, according to a council document.
The site is also within an area at risk of flooding, according to the same report.
The applicant is now ‘awaiting a decision’ from Bucks Council about this proposal.
