Policy information sourced from South Bucks Core Strategy Development Plan Document

Core Policy 1: Housing Provision and Delivery

Provision will be made for a net increase of 2,200-2,800* dwellings in the period 2006 to 2026, broadly in accordance with the Spatial Strategy. At least 80% of this development will be accommodated on Previously Developed Land.

The focus for new residential development will be Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross and, to a lesser extent, Burnham. Future development within the District’s Secondary settlements will be more limited, and there will be very little new development in the Tertiary and Rural settlements37 in South Bucks. Further development at Farnham Common will be managed, to avoid a cumulative adverse impact on Burnham Beeches. The mechanisms to achieve this will be set out in the Development Management DPD.

The policies in this Core Strategy and subsequent Development Plan Documents will have the effect of slowing the rate of development in the District, later in the Plan period.
