CS1: The Spatial Strategy

The spatial strategy for Chiltern District aims to protect the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Green Belt by focusing new development between 2006 and 2026 on land within existing settlements not covered by those designations. The built-up areas of the most accessible of these settlements: Chesham; Amersham/Amersham-on-the-Hill; Chalfont St Peter and Little Chalfont will be the main focus for development. Limited development will take place in other villages excluded from the Green Belt, namely Chalfont St Giles; Great Missenden; Prestwood and Heath End; Holmer Green; Penn and Knotty Green; Chesham Bois and Seer Green. Some redevelopment and infilling is planned for identified developed sites in the Green Belt. Very little development is intended elsewhere.
