Final changes made to Aylesbury Vale local plan
Bucks Council want to hear your views
It's hoped the plan for Aylesbury Vale's development, which has been worked on for years, will be adopted early next year.
But first, a consultation's open to have a say on a few changes which have been made.
These modifications are being put out to public consultation for eight weeks, closing on 9 February.
About the modifications
The modifications mainly deal with minor errors in the plan, and updates to information such as expected timelines for house building.
Some more significant changes relate to:
- How the plan deals with housing for older people including new allocations
- The transport schemes policy
- Changes to retail and employment policies, because of Government changes in the planning system
Accompanying the new consultation is a range of other documents, including the council's response to the representations made in the previous consultation in November and December 2019.
Councillor Steve Bowles, Cabinet Member for VALP said:
"This is an important stage in the preparation of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan.
"We hope that, following this latest consultation, the plan can be adopted early next year, providing certainty over where development can take place in the plan area."
Details of the consultation
Responses can be made online, by email, or in writing to the council.
All relevant information, supporting documentation and guidance on how to make comments is available on the VALP web pages.
Following completion of the consultation the Inspector will determine what the next stage will be.
This may include further hearings, prior to him finalising his report.
