We have been advised by Buckinghamshire Council that Holloway Lane will be affected by a temporary partial road closure from 20th to 24th September while Affinity Water carry out repairs to the main in the carriageway.

The new government has published a public consultation about its proposed changes to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The deadline to respond is 11.45pm on Tuesday, 24th September 2024.

The consultation proposes a number of important changes to national planning rules, for example how local housing need is calculated and on development in the Green Belt. For Buckinghamshire, the consultation proposes a housing need figure of 4,122 homes per year, which is 41.5% higher than the figure derived from the existing government formula for calculating housing need.

Chesham Bois Parish Council and Buckinghamshire Council will be responding to the consultation and individuals may wish to do so. Responses can be submitted using the link below:
