CS2: Amount and Distribution of Residential Development 2006-2026
The Council and its partners will facilitate the delivery of between 2,650 and 2,900 net* additional dwellings within Chiltern District between 1 April 2006 and 31 March 2026. The broad pattern of development will be as follows:
| Settlement Type | Combined Number of Dwellings* |
|---|---|
| Built-up areas of the Main Settlements for Growth (Chesham, Amersham/ Amersham-on-the-Hill, Little Chalfont and Chalfont St Peter) | 1,685-1,935 |
| Built-up areas of other villages excluded from the Green Belt (i.e. Chalfont St Giles, Great Missenden, Prestwood & Heath End, Holmer Green, Penn & Knotty Green, Chesham Bois, Seer Green) | 550 |
| Major Developed Sites in Green Belt (Policy CS7) | 345 |
| Green Belt Villages and Infill in Rows of Dwellings | 70** |
| TOTAL | 2,650-2,900 |
Notes:
*The figures are net, to take account of demolitions and loss of housing units.
**The figure for Green Belt Villages and Rows of Dwellings relates to dwellings built or granted planning permission between 1st April 2006 and 31 March 2011.
We will measure success of the policy with the assistance of the following indicators:
- Calculating on 31 March each year the total number of net additional dwellings built in the main settlements for growth since 1 April 2006, against the annual average housing provision required to deliver 1,685 - 1,935 new dwellings by 31 March 2026 (i.e. 84 - 97 dwellings per annum), multiplied by the number of years that have elapsed since 1 April 2006.
- Calculating on 31 March each year the total number of net additional dwellings built in the other villages, excluded from the Green Belt, since 1 April 2006, against the annual average housing provision required to deliver 550 new dwellings by 31 March 2026 (i.e. 28 dwellings per annum), multiplied by the number of years that have elapsed since 1 April 2006.
- Assessing progress towards implementation of MDS schemes and adjusting, if necessary, assumptions about dwelling numbers as part of the work on updating the housing trajectory and the monitoring of housing delivery overall.
Delivery will be achieved via:
- developments by private developers
- developments by Registered Providers (RP)
The action that will be taken in response to these calculations is set out in Section 18 of the Strategy.
