Hundreds of new homes could be built in High Wycombe and Tylers Green if plans get approved this spring.

Housing developer The Hill Group has been selected as a delivery partner by Buckinghamshire Council to develop two key housing developments at Bellfield Road, High Wycombe and Ashwells Field, Tylers Green. 

Plans include a selection of 68 one, two and three-bedroom affordable homes in Bellfield Road, hoping to transform the site from a disused storage facility.

The Ashwells Field development will feature a range of more than 100 two, three, four, and five-bedroom houses set around landscaped gardens and open communal space, including a children’s play area.

The homes at Ashwells Field will include a private sale and a mix of affordable tenures.

Detailed designs will go to planning in the summer.

Hill will be finalising a reserved matters planning application for the scheme in the spring with detailed designs that will go to planning in the summer.

Andy Hill, Group Chief Executive of The Hill Group, said: “As a leading housebuilder, we are honoured to have been entrusted by Buckinghamshire Council to play a pivotal role in the transformation of two prominent land sites in the High Wycombe area. This is a testament to our commitment to delivering sustainable and thriving communities that align with the needs and aspirations of residents.

"We wholeheartedly embrace the opportunity to shape the future of these sites and create enduring value for the people of High Wycombe. Our teams will collaborate closely with local stakeholders to bring our shared vision for these communities to fruition, and we are confident that together we can make a lasting impact that will benefit generations to come."

Buckinghamshire Council's cabinet member for accessible housing and resources believes the plans will deliver affordable options for renters and buyers.

John Chilver said: “As a council, we are committed to supporting our communities and ensuring that there is enough affordable housing across Buckinghamshire that is accessible for our residents. Using land we own at Bellfield as one of the sites, we are committed to building a range of affordable options for renters and buyers across the two developments in High Wycombe.

"Not only will we work to deliver high-quality designs, we are also ensuring that the new homes will be sustainable to run with enhanced energy performance. We are pleased to work with The Hill Group and are hoping to produce high-quality homes that create thriving communities at these two High Wycombe sites.”

Both the Bellfield Road and Ashwells Field projects will adhere to the Council's Design Guide and feature designs by architects Pollard Thomas Edwards and landscape architects The Environment Partnership.

The Bellfield Road development will employ modern methods of construction, such as off-site steel frame and bathroom pod fabrication, through Hill's partner Fusion Steel Framing, to streamline the construction process.

Sustainability is a core focus for Hill, and the homes in High Wycombe will boast a range of environmental features, including air source heat pumps, cycle storage to promote active transportation, and electric vehicle charging stations.

The Ashwells Field development will also feature a sustainable drainage system, aiming to improve the existing surface water system and ensure even drainage distribution.
