Application for travellers site approved (25/01620/APP)

On Friday (29/05/2026) Buckinghamshire Council approved the application for one mobile home and one touring caravan at the site on Drayton Road. This was done by delegation to a planning officer, rather than by a committee decision.

The planning officer’s report does note that objections were received from Buckinghamshire Council ward councillor Jilly Jordan as well as ourselves.

Various conditions have been applied to mitigate against the impact of this development. It will be important to see that these are complied with.

View the delegated officer report and decision notice on the Buckinghamshire Council planning portal.
