Plans for new homes on a former golf course in a Bucks village have been unveiled.

Developers want to build the houses at Little Chalfont Park and Homestead Farm, on Green Belt land between Lodge Lane and Burtons Lane, in Little Chalfont.

Biddulph (Buckinghamshire) Ltd is now preparing to submit the plans to Buckinghamshire Council, and asking residents to have their say on the plans.

While social media reports suggested there could be at least 700 new homes, the developer has now confirmed it hopes to build around 350 new homes, including affordable housing, a retirement village of around 100 new homes and a care home.

The developers say the proposal will provide “much-needed new homes in a high-quality landscaped setting”, including “the potential for” a primary school and nursery, community hub and valley park, and improvements to junctions on the A404 and public transport infrastructure.

Initially, they are looking to hear from Little Chalfont residents about the village and their ideas about the future of the Little Chalfont Park site, by Monday, August 23.

They wrote on their website: “We would like to hear what you like and dislike about Little Chalfont and the area around the former golf course, and your ideas for the new neighbourhood itself.”

All the feedback will be assessed and fed to the design team, which will come up with a masterplan for the new neighbourhood to be presented to the community via Zoom on Wednesday, September 15.

Biddulph Ltd says it intends to submit the plans by autumn this year.

It added in a newsletter which is being sent out to residents: “Biddulph (Buckinghamshire) Ltd is keen to engage with local residents and the wider community to help shape and inform the proposals.

“During the summer we want to hear from you to gather ideas on possible uses for the site and its relationship with the surrounding neighbourhood.

“The new neighbourhood will be a place where people get together in new accessible community spaces, and it will knit into the surrounding landscape supporting wildlife and promoting sustainable living at the edge of the Chiltern countryside.”

The site was previously a part of the the now withdrawn Chiltern and South Bucks Local Plan.

A number of comments have been left on the interactive map, with one resident writing: “The land should be left as it stands, as greenbelt land not as residential development land. Any development of this size will drastically change the dynamic of the village.”

Another wrote: “It is designated Green Belt and should remain so. The impact of any further developments in the village will have negative impact on the already stretched infrastructure.”
