Purpose

Consultation on the draft Local Plan for
Buckinghamshire.

Content

Cabinet
received a report which sought approval to consult on a draft
version of the Local Plan for Buckinghamshire over a six-week
period from 17th September 2025.  The consultation sought comments on the approach
to the spatial strategy for meeting housing and employment needs
(Part A, appendix 1). This was supported by a series of Development
Management policies (Part B, appendix 2). Other appendices were
technical documents necessary to support the consultation
documents.
It was not
possible, at this stage, to consult on a full draft version of the
Local Plan containing preferred or proposed site allocations
because further technical studies were required. 
RESOLVED that:-

1)     
the draft Local Plan
(Part A and Part B) at Appendix 1 and 2 of the Cabinet report be
approved for a six-week public consultation from September
2025.

2)     
authority be delegated to the Corporate Director
for Planning, Growth and Sustainability, in consultation with the
Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Planning, to approve any
necessary minor amendments to the draft Local Plan, its supporting
documents and consultation material prior to the commencement of
the consultation.
