This consultation is not considering the principle of housing for this site which has already been settled through the Local Plan. It is dealing with how to deliver the housing and meet all the requirements of HW8 and other local and national planning policies
In summary this brief provides guidance to Wycombe Local Plan Policy HW8 which allocated the site for 350 dwellings, and set out requirements regarding the separation of Hazlemere and Holmer Green, comprehensive development, access and off site highway contributions, green infrastructure, flood risk and education.
