Background

South Bucks District Council has identified an opportunity for the comprehensive, conservation-led regeneration of 23 hectares of land at Mill Lane, Taplow.
 
The site is designated as a Major Developed Site in the Green Belt and identified as an opportunity site within the adopted South Bucks Core Strategy under Policy CP15.
 
The Policy states that a Development Brief must be prepared, prior to a planning application being submitted. It is intended that the District Council will adopt the Development Brief as a Supplementary Planning Document, and that this will then inform the preparation and determination of any planning application (or applications) that come forward on the site.
 
This exhibition material has been prepared by the different owners and contracted purchasers of the site (see Plan 2 below), in conjunction with Council Officers. Maddox & Associates are representing Barratt Homes, Firstplan are representing National Grid and Tim North Associates Ltd are representing Taplow Investments Ltd.
 
The exhibition seeks your views on a number of options relating to access, nature conservation, open space and recreation, conservation and heritage, and the built form of development. The comments received will inform the preparation of a draft Development Brief, which will then be subject to a further period of consultation (see Exhibition Board 2) The options taken forward in the Development Brief will need to be in accordance with the Council’s adopted Core Strateg.
