TWO new developments in High Wycombe comprising 410 homes have been approved by Buckinghamshire Council’s strategic sites committee.

One is an estate of 370 houses planned by Persimmon and Redrow on fields north of the A404 Amersham Road in between Terriers Farm and Hazlemere Recreation Ground.

The other is a 40-home site on a smaller adjacent field off De Havilland Court, which is being delivered by Find Estates.

Councillors approved the first application by six votes to four at a meeting last Thursday evening, while the second passed unanimously.
