Buckinghamshire Council has launched a consultation on a supplementary planning document (SPD) for the Shenley Park housing development in north Buckinghamshire.

The park in Whaddon, on the edge of Milton Keynes, was identified as a site for growth in the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan and the SPD aims to provide a clear framework and principles for its development.

Crest Nicholson hopes to deliver their plan in line with Buckinghamshire Council, with the building of 1,265 by 2023, a care home, a mixed-use local centre, and delivery of a new primary school and nursery.

Plans also include outdoor sports pitches, a new spine road from the A421 to Childs Way and a westward extension to Tattenhoe Valley Park to include play areas and walking and cycling routes.

Their plans are likely to change once the consultation period ends.

Peter Strachan, Buckinghamshire Council Cabinet Member for Planning and Regeneration, has emphasised the importance of getting the development right and has asked individuals and organizations to contribute their views through the consultation.

The consultation will be open until October 11 and residents can visit the Buckinghamshire Council website to take part.

In addition to the online consultation, the council will also host a public drop-in session on September 6th for people to learn more about the proposals.

The display material and a short presentation will be made available on the council's website for those unable to attend the event.

Any questions regarding the consultation can be directed to the planning policy team via email.

The consultation and public drop-in session are opportunities for the community to have their voices heard and contribute to the development plans of Shenley Park.

The SPD aims to ensure that the new neighbourhood provides high-quality homes and necessary amenities and infrastructure for both existing and new residents.

With the ongoing housing crisis in the UK, it is crucial that the development is well-planned and meets the needs and aspirations of the community.

This consultation process allows for transparency and public input in the decision-making process, enhancing trust and accountability in local government.
