A new neighbourhood providing much needed new homes, with a range of high quality amenities and green open spaces to benefit new and existing Little Chalfont residents.

A planning application for Little Chalfont Park was submitted to the planning authority Buckinghamshire Council in 2021 (registration number is PL/21/4632/OA). Following a refusal by the Planning Committee in 2022 the application was consented at appeal in early 2023. The next stage in the planning process will be a reserved matters (detailed) application submitted to Buckinghamshire Council in due course.

The planning application submitted by Biddulph (Buckinghamshire) Ltd for a new residential neighbourhood will provide much needed new homes, with a range of high quality amenities and green open spaces to benefit new and existing Little Chalfont residents. Sited at the former golf course and Homestead Farm, between Lodge Lane and Burtons Lane, the new neighbourhood addresses the many years of shortfall in the supply of affordable homes locally. Designed to minimise dependence on the private car and promote healthy living, the neighbourhood is within easy walking distance of Little Chalfont centre and the railway station.

Community Consultation

As a first step, we asked the local community for their views about Little Chalfont and ideas for the future of the Little Chalfont Park site to help us develop the initial Vision. The first stage of consultation closed on 23 August 2021 and we assessed the comments received to feed to the design team as they prepared the Vision for the site. This Vision was reported back to the community via Zoom on Wednesday 15 September 2021. A newsletter was delivered to the Little Chalfont community summarising the Vision and asking for comments.

Comments received on the Vision helped shape the planning submission proposals which were then reported back to the community via Zoom on 20 October 2021.
