A barn could be demolished to make way for nine new homes under plans submitted to the council.
An application has been made for permission in principle to build nine new homes on land off of Cliveden Road, Taplow.
A U-shaped brick-built barn on the site would be demolished after investigations found that converting the building would not be viable.
If approved, the building could be replaced by nine low-energy homes with residents making use of 'a wealth of green recreation facilities' in the area.

In the proposals, submitted to the council last week, the applicant says: "This application seeks to explore the potential for the erection of new dwellings, given the difficult task of bringing the existing stable buiding up to date in terms of building fabric, air tightness and energy efficiency.
"The vision is to create a new ‘landscape-led’ neighbourhood, which puts energy conservation and biodiversity enhancement at the forefront of the design process.
"The site cannot be seen clearly from any publicly accessible land.
"The most prominent viewpoint is the site access form Cliveden Road, though even here the view is largely obscured by the existing brick wall, gates, and extensive wooded growth to the perimeter."
The applicant says the homes would benefit from 'excellent amenities and transport links' and would be within cycling distance to Maidenhead and Burnham.
Planning permission was previously granted for the site in January 2023 for the conversion of a stable building into five new homes.
The application was validated by Buckinghamshire Council on November 20 and is due to be decided by December 25.
Letters from Conservative councillors for Cliveden; Paul Kelly, George Sandy and Kirsten Ashman have been received asking for the application to be considered by the planning committee.
Cllr Sandy said: "As this application relates to a previous equestrian establishment and now has agricultural status within the green belt it should be called-in for consideration by the planning committee."
