The Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (VALP) is now close to being finalised.
The local plan, which started in 2014, allocates land for over 30 thousand new homes, as well as essential infrastructure such as roads, schools and facilities which will support the new homes.
Inspector Paul Clark has recommended that bucks council adopt the plan, and the council will decide whether to in a council meeting on the 15th of September.
The Inspector is satisfied that this meets local housing needs and falls within current government guidelines for determining what that local need is.
Work on the VALP went through three stages of public consultation before it went to a nationally appointed independent Inspector in 2018. There were then two hearing sessions where people who objected to the plan could make their case for changes to the plan directly to the independent Inspector. The Inspector also looked closely at all the evidence sent to him by objectors and the Council before writing his full report. His report is final and cannot be amended.
The plan is due to be considered first by the council’s Cabinet on 13 September and then at a meeting of the full Council on 15 September. If adopted the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan will remain in force until it is superseded by the new Buckinghamshire Local Plan in 2025.
