A DEVELOPER wanting to construct nearly 380 homes has been given outline planning application to build on land in Little Chalfont. 

Outline planning permission for major housing project known to be Little Chalfont Park in Homestead Farm, has been given the go-ahead by Buckinghamshire Council. 

It means 380 new homes - a mix of 152 affordable homes, a primary school, sports facilities, and a retirement village - will be built on land on the former golf course.

The Hill Group hopes to deliver a 'sustainable living environment that is innovatively gas-free'.

As part of the plan, Hill Group will be creating a pedestrian and cycle path to nearby Oakington Avenue, offering a 5-minute walk to Chalfont and Latimer Train Station.

The overall build phase is planned to commence in the spring of 2025, with a projected six-year completion timeline.

Jasper Masters, executive director at CBRE said: “Little Chalfont Park is regarded by many in the industry as the best housing development site to transact in the UK in 2023.

"It’s an exemplar deal which will act as a bellwether of the residential land market, as well as being a testament to the foresight of our landowner clients over many years.”

“After acting for our clients through the successful Planning Appeal, CBRE marketed the site during the summer months to a UK and overseas audience and had substantial interest from housebuilders, developers, funds, and global capital.

"This transaction is evidence that even in a more challenging market, there remains a flight to quality for top sites.”
