Buckinghamshire Council - New Local Plan consultation
The following message is a briefing from Buckinghamshire which will affect all residents in Buckinghamshire, so important that all respond.
Buckinghamshire Council launched the consultation on the new Local Plan for Buckinghamshire (the replacement for the current Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan or VALP) on Wednesday 17 September 2025. The consultation runs until 23:59 on 29 October.
The Local Plan, once it is completed, will set out Buckinghamshire Council’s approach to future development in the county (which includes allowance for the target set by central government of 95,000 new homes, but please note that the version of the Local Plan which is currently available for comment has no detail on the proposed locations of the sites for this housing).
Buckinghamshire Council is inviting residents, businesses, local groups and partners to look at the draft Local Plan proposals and feedback their views. Newton Longville Parish Council will be assessing this draft version and a meeting is planned for early October to present and discuss the findings. This will be a public meeting and we will confirm the date, time and venue as soon as we can.
