Developer Land & Partners Limited wants to build up to 65 homes, nearly 50 per cent of which are affordable, on land south of Mill Road.

It has submitted outline planning permission, which seeks if Bucks planning officers agree with the development in principle before a full application is put forward.

The site is earmarked within the local plan for 100 homes. The developer says the proposal for up to 65 houses delivers an ‘appropriate proportion’ of the allocation relative to the site’s size.

Thirty-four homes are proposed to be market whereas 24 could be affordable. The dwellings consist of one, two, three, and four-bedrooms – only two, which are market, are five-bedrooms.

Two parking spaces each will be provided for the two-bed units, 2.5 each for the three-beds, and three bays each for the four-beds. Open space is allocated to the north of the site.

Stoke Mandeville Hospital wants to erect a three-storey clinical building with a single-storey link corridor to its existing A&E and maternity building.

The proposed 4,280 will compromise a children’s emergency department with ten treatment bays and two resuscitation bays on the ground floor, maternity outpatient clinic, gynaecology outpatient on the first floor, and a plant room on the second floor.

A new ambulance parking bay to the accident and emergency department is also proposed.

The hospital says attendances to its emergency departments have increased by 40 per cent over the last 15 years as the national and local population continues to grow.

If approved, the extension will free up ‘significant’ space within the emergency department and allow capacity to its current inpatient assessment space.

“Developing an alternative location for women’s and children’s services is a critical enabler for our strategy for improving same day emergency care services for adults,” the design and access statement states.

A developer withdraws its plans after a parish council raises concerns at Main Street, Charndon (22/01614/AOP).

An applicant known as Mr Tutt wanted to build five homes on land off Main Street with parking and a community green space.

This was outline planning permission, meaning the developer was asking the council if agrees with the plans in principle before a full application is submitted.

But Charndon Parish Council was concerned parking could overspill onto the road, the safety aspects of where the access is placed, and the plans needing a flood drainage system in place.

The developer decided to withdraw the scheme on September 14.
