Local councils deal with thousands of planning applications every year.

They range from house owners wanting to build an extension to new homes, shops, businesses and even chopping down trees.

Here are some of the best projects announced from last week - the council will now consider whether each should go ahead.

1) The Junction, 551 London Road, High Wycombe: This old boarded up pub is hoping to be developed into some brand new flats.To accommodate this there will be various extensions and alterations to the building as well as new vehicular access.
