The Bucks Council new draft local plan is now available for consultation. We have produced a summary, with particular focus on how Wendover is affected.

The deadline for comments is Sunday 6th September. They request that comments be made online here, though to do this you will need to have (or create) an account and the response form is set up so comments have to be made on the individual chapters of the plan. However they are also legally required to accept comments sent by email to planningpolicyteam.bc@buckinghamshire.gov.uk.

If you prefer to do this, to be legally compliant:

• Your email should be titled "Official Representation: Draft Buckinghamshire Local Plan (Regulation 19)" .
• Include your full name and postal address.
• If possible reference the exact policy number, chapter, or specific site allocation reference number (e.g. the OPUS reference number) you are commenting on so the team can categorise your feedback accurately. OPUS reference numbers are shown on the map at the end of the summary we have prepared (e.g. WEN01 for the development at Halton). We have also included a list of chapters and their contents which you can reference.
• For every point you make, explicitly state whether you think the policy is "Legally Compliant" or "Sound". (If you are objecting, you must say you believe the policy is unsound and state what changes are needed to fix it).
• We recommend asking for acknowledgement of receipt.
