Council launches final consultation on draft Local Plan

Buckinghamshire Council is inviting residents and organisations to have their final say on the draft Local Plan – detailing how Buckinghamshire will manage government housing targets as well as protecting the Green Belt, securing infrastructure investment and supporting economic development across the county up to 2045. 

The plan sets out how the county could accommodate around 91,000 homes required under national planning policy, while directing growth to sustainable locations and ensuring the necessary infrastructure is provided. While the council does not set the housing requirement, it is legally responsible for planning how it is delivered. Without an up-to-date Local Plan, Buckinghamshire would face greater risks of speculative development, central government intervention and less local control over where growth takes place. 

The plan adopts a brownfield-first approach, with around 13,500 homes expected to come from redevelopment opportunities in town centres, previously developed land and areas close to well-connected railway stations. This will support regeneration, attract investment and reduce pressure on the countryside. A key feature of the plan, reflecting one of the strongest priorities highlighted by residents, is it doesn’t allocate new housing and employment in the Green Belt. The plan emphasises economic growth, by identifying land for employment development and business expansion, including opportunities such as the continued growth of Enterprise Zones. 

Infrastructure, another top priority for residents, remains a central focus. Informed by providers, the council has identified more than 500 projects requiring at least £6 billion of investment, covering transport, schools, healthcare, utilities, community facilities and green infrastructure. The council will continue to press government to ensure national housing requirements are matched by investment in local infrastructure. 

The six-week Regulation 19 consultation, which launches tomorrow (Thursday 23 July) is the final opportunity to comment on the draft Local Plan before it is submitted for independent examination. All responses will be presented to the planning inspector and at this stage should focus on whether the plan is legally compliant and “sound” – meaning it is evidence-based, deliverable and consistent with national planning policy. 

Buckinghamshire Council Leader Steven Broadbent has also written to local MPs calling for government support to secure the infrastructure funding needed to ensure growth is matched by the services and facilities communities need: https://www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/news/buckinghamshire-council-leader-writes-to-county-mps-ahead-of-draft-local-plan-consultation/  

Steven Broadbent said: 

“Buckinghamshire is a fantastic place to live, work and invest, and we are determined to protect what makes our county special for future generations. However, the government requires Buckinghamshire to plan for significant housing growth. While we do not set those targets, we have a responsibility to outline how that growth is managed. 

“This draft Local Plan is our best opportunity to retain local control and shape Buckinghamshire’s future. We have listened to what residents have consistently told us are their top priorities. It provides a clear strategy for accommodating growth while protecting the Green Belt, supporting the economy and ensuring homes, jobs and infrastructure are planned together. The plan identifies the infrastructure needed to support growth and we will continue to press government and work with local MPs to secure the investment required. 

“This is the final opportunity to for local people to comment, I would encourage everyone with an interest in Buckinghamshire’s future to read it and take part.” 

Details of the Local Plan, supporting evidence and how to comment on the soundness are on the website: www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/local-plan  

The consultation will open on Thursday 23 July and closes at 11.59pm on Sunday 6 September.

They will be offering advice, discussing local issues and answering any questions you may have. 

Please come along and say hello. 

Theft from Garage Lock-Up in Ivinghoe area

Message from Thames Valley Police:
We are appealing for information following a burglary at a garage lock-up in the Ivinghoe area.

Offenders forced entry to the premises and stole a quantity of tools and equipment. 

The offence is believed to have occurred sometime between the afternoon of 14 July and 2:00pm on 15 July 2026. 

We are keen to hear from anyone who may have: 
Seen any suspicious individuals or vehicles in the area.
Captured CCTV, doorbell camera, or dashcam footage that could assist the investigation.
Been offered tools or equipment for sale in suspicious circumstances. 

Crime Prevention Advice

Ensure garages, sheds, and lock-ups are secured with robust, quality locks.
Mark valuable property and record serial numbers where possible.
Consider installing CCTV, alarms, or security lighting.
Report any suspicious activity around storage units, garages, farms, or business premises. 

If you have any information that may assist, please contact Thames Valley Police via 101 or report online via the Thames Valley Police website, quoting crime reference 43260361874.  If a crime is in progress, always call 999.

Theft from motor vehicles crime prevention

Dear resident, We have recently seen an increase in theft from motor vehicles in the area 

Offenders have primarily been targeting cars parked up in public places, which is likely linked to lots of people being outside and enjoying the lovely weather. 

We hope you can continue to do so while keeping your belongings safe from car thieves, remember:Always lock your car when you leave it unattended with no exceptions, make sure to double check it is locked rather than just trusting the lock button Make sure windows and sunroofs are closed, leaving them open even slightly risks a thief finding a way to unlock the car or fish items out of your vehicle Avoid leaving valuables or important items in your car and if you must, make sure they are out of sight. It is not just tech devices and loose coins that are at risk, many items could be of interest to opportunistic thieves if it means quick money for them.

Report a theft from motor vehicle as soon as possible via 101 or via Home | Thames Valley Police 💻
999 if the crime is in progress or in an emergency 📞

Red Extreme Heat Warning: Firefighters urge residents to help prevent avoidable emergencies 

Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service is urging residents to take extra care during this week’s Red Extreme Heat Warning, with temperatures forecast to reach up to 40°C and an increased risk of water-related incidents and wildfires.

The warning, issued by the Met Office and UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), is in place from 9am Wednesday until 9pm Thursday. During this period, residents are being encouraged to avoid unnecessary risks around open water, barbecues and dry open spaces and to take simple steps to stay safe in the heat.

Deputy Chief Fire Officer Simon Tuffley said:

“A Red Extreme Heat Warning is rare and should be taken seriously. We’re asking everyone to make safe choices over the coming days, as small actions can have serious consequences in these conditions, but many incidents are entirely preventable if we all play our part.

Our crews will be ready to respond, but we’d much rather everyone enjoy the warm weather safely. By following the advice and looking out for one another, we can help keep ourselves, our communities and our emergency responders safe – making a difference together.”

Periods of extreme heat can place additional pressure on emergency services and increase the likelihood of preventable incidents. National evidence shows these risks rise significantly during hot weather. During the 2022 heatwave, firefighters in England attended almost three times as many serious outdoor fires as the previous year, demonstrating how quickly dry conditions can escalate into emergencies. Research by Bournemouth University has also found that accidental drowning fatalities are three times higher on days when temperatures reach 25°C or above compared to the seasonal average. 

Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service is preparing for an increase in demand during the warning period by reviewing operational resourcing and ensuring specialist equipment used to respond to water-related incidents and wildfires is available if required. Residents can play an important role by following safety advice and helping to prevent avoidable incidents.

Residents are being asked to follow this advice:

Water safety

  • Avoid entering open water to cool down.
  • Never enter the water to attempt a rescue.
  • If you see someone in difficulty, call 999 immediately.
  • If it is safe to do so, throw something that floats and encourage them to Float to Live.

Fire safety

  • Avoid using disposable barbecues in parks, fields and open spaces.
  • Keep barbecues away from dry grass, fences, sheds and trees.
  • Dispose of cigarettes responsibly.
  • Do not leave glass bottles or litter in direct sunlight.
  • Avoid bonfires during this period of extreme heat.

Heat health

  • Stay hydrated throughout the day.
  • Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day where possible.
  • Check in on family, friends and neighbours who may be more vulnerable.

Further safety advice is available at: www.bucksfire.gov.uk/safety-hub/

Community First Responder (Pitstone, Buckinghamshire) | South Central Ambulance Charity Volunteering

Message from South Central Ambulance Charity:

We are currently recruiting Community First Responders (CFRs) in Pitstone, Buckinghamshire

CFRs are based in the communities they live in, attending non life threatening and life threatening calls. These include, but are not limited too – Suspected heart attacks, suspected strokes, cardiac arrests, broken bones, severe bleeding, breathing difficulties.

We will give full training, over a four day period, so that you are fully equipped to attend these calls and you will not only have the support of you scheme and scheme coordinator but also the Community Engagement & Training team. You need to have a good level of physical fitness as you will need to carry a kit bag (which can weigh up to 13kg), be able to perform effective CPR (after training), have access to your own vehicle and be willing to support the charity with fundraising. We recommend that CFRs support us with a minimum of 20 hours responding time a month, in order to reduce skill fade. However these 20 hours can be carried out at any time that is suitable for you.

Why do our Community First Responders do this voluntary role?

James has always been interested in health care and joining his local CFR team has given him a chance to be involved locally and to develop his passion and skills in this area. James responds mainly on evenings giving additional support to the crews at peak times.

A volunteering induction will take place on 19th June followed by training on 20 and 21st June & 4th and 5th July 2026. You must be able to attend all five days for us to be able to consider you for this role. Please read the role description below for further details.

If you would like to discuss the role further before applying please email info@sca-charity.org.uk

Why we want you

Our Community First Responders (CFR) are volunteers who are trained by us to attend certain types of emergency calls in the area where they live. Their aim is to reach a potential life-threatening emergency in the first vital minutes before the ambulance crew arrives. CFRs play an integral part in our response to patients within the local communities of where they live and work. As a CFR you will join your local scheme and attend medical and trauma emergencies, often providing vital interventions and support before the arrival of the ambulance crew. You will be provided with full training and support throughout your time with us as a CFR, though the Community Engagement & Training Team and your Scheme Coordinator.

As part of your CFR role we also ask that you support South Central Ambulance Charity by attending fundraising events such as bucket collections or supporting with First Aid cover at local events which the charity receive funding for. The CFR role is fully funded by the Charity and so we ask that you are willing to support in order for us to continue to provide good levels of kit, equipment and uniform across our patch.

Please note this role description is for guidance only

What you will be doing

  • Attending a range of medical emergency calls both life threatening and non life threatening
  • Attending calls on your own
  • Providing reassurance to patients and families
  • Represent and support South Central Ambulance Charity
  • Support with fundraising and attending local community events to promote the Charity
  • Representing South Central Ambulance Service
  • Be part of a local CFR Scheme

The skills you need

  • No formal qualifications or experience required
  • Full driving licence, with 12 months experience and no more than 3 penalty points
  • Access to your own vehicle
  • Good verbal and written skills
  • Good and clear communication
  • Good level of physical fitness (Occupational Health Screening will be required)
  • Qualities that align with South Central Ambulance Service core values

What’s in it for you

  • After training, CFRs will usually join a local scheme with other CFRs which is led by a volunteer coordinator. Before going on call for the first time, volunteers will usually complete a shift with an experienced CFR or training officer from the Ambulance Service.
  • Each area has a dedicated SCAS Community Engagement & Training Officer (CETO) who you can contact at any time for help or support. They are your main point of contact with the organisation.
  • All training, uniform and equipment is supplied and funded by the SCAS Charity (as the NHS receive no funding for the CFR role) and will be provided on successful completion of training.
  • You will be in a position where you could save lives in your community. Our CFRs regularly attend patients who would have otherwise died without their intervention.
  • You will be part of the wider SCAS ‘family’ and will be given the opportunity to work with ambulance crews and other emergency services as part of the role at the scene of an incident.
  • As part of your training, you will complete a level 3 certificate in Ambulance First Response, which is a nationally recognised qualification.
  • You will have many opportunities to expand your knowledge and training the longer you stay with us, including being trained to drive our vehicles, work in the Clinical Coordination Centre, and undertake some additional enhanced training to enable you to do more for our patients and your community.

The Heritage Park, Pitstone Green Museum, Needs Your Help – Can you Volunteer?

The Heritage Park, Pitstone Green Museum, is looking for catering volunteers who could help on Thursdays before and Tuesdays after our open days. This ensures they are prepared for each open day and the facilities are ready for the next.

They would also be grateful for volunteers especially early morning on an open day to cut and butter rolls, prepare food, service, make tea/coffee etc or work on the till using an iPad. A couple of hours later in the day would also be beneficial, to enable volunteers to have a break.

In addition, help is required in the Colin Cook collection (upstairs) and other areas of the museum.

They can also offer volunteer opportunities for younger people, working towards DofE Award or with youth organisations.

The team is friendly and the work is rewarding.

If you are able to help, please contact Lesley Herriott – Treasurer, by email on treasurer@pitstonemuseum.co.uk

Vicar’s Report on the Benefice (our group of parishes) in 2026

Our vision in 2025 remained consistent with the previous year – and, at the end of February (shortly after the 1st anniversary of the sudden passing of Rt. Rev. Alan Wilson) our parishes were greatly encouraged by Rev. Canon Dave Bull, Area Dean of Wycombe, becoming the new Bishop of Buckingham. Folk who have met +Dave have been impressed with his humility, his spirituality and his positive outlook on life. With our prayers we fully expect him to become as well-liked and well-respected as his predecessor.

In our own parishes, there were the services you would expect of your Parish Church – Easter, Harvest, Remembrance and Christmas plus Sundays, Weddings, Baptisms, Funerals and Burials. Do remember that our services and events – as well as our contact details – are always available at www.achurchnearyou.com

And there were events for the wider community. Special mention should be made of the Slapton Village Fete, the Art Exhibition at Ivinghoe Church and the resurrection of the Marsworth Flower Festival. These (and other) events were only possible because volunteers from the wider community combined with church members – all generously giving of their time and talents. Once again, I want to assure everyone that I am extremely grateful for all your hard work: it really does make a huge difference to our communities.

Talking of our communities I am conscious that planned housing developments will be a big issue for us all going forward. In the autumn, Oxford Diocese contacted Marsworth Parochial Church Council (PCC) with the news that the Diocese is looking to sell for development some of the Glebe Land on the edge of the village. The PCC discussed this proposal and came to the conclusion that to lose productive farmland and to build properties without upgrading the existing infrastructure was not a proposal we could support. The PCC voted unanimously against the proposal of the Diocese – and communicated our thinking and this decision to Oxford. However, it remains to be seen how much weight the opinion of the people on the ground actually carries.  

More positively it was a very busy year for our Bell Towers. The newly-restored bells at Slapton attracted visitors from across the region – and this seemed to create a certain amount of interest in the Towers at Ivinghoe and Marsworth too. All our teams welcome new ringers so, if you fancy a go, do feel free to get in touch with the appropriate Tower Captain.

Looking Forward

People, I remain keen for our churches to work with other groups in order to make our parishes better places. I’m thankful for those partners whom we have joined with over the past year. I hope we can continue to identify shared goals and values as we move forward together.

Rev. James Grainger-Smith

Vicar of Ivinghoe with Pitstone, Slapton and Marsworth

Buckinghamshire Council launch Local Transport Plan consultation (open until 30/3/26)

Council launches consultation on Local Transport Plan 5 | Buckinghamshire Council

“Buckinghamshire Council is inviting residents, businesses and visitors to take part in a public consultation on the draft Local Transport Plan 5 (LTP5), running from 16 February to 30 March 2026.

LTP5 sets out how the council aims to make travelling around Buckinghamshire easier, safer and more accessible, while improving travel choices for all. The plan looks ahead to 2045 and will guide how transport improvements are planned, funded and delivered across local communities, the road network and public transport over the next 20 years.”

Full information and details of how to submit your comments are available on the Buckinghamshire Council webpage linked above.

Buckinghamshire Councillors report for February 2026

My report to you this month is all about the Buckinghamshire wide Local Development Plan.

We, as a planning authority are required by central government, to develop a plan for the next period, in this case 2025-2045, for housing and employment development. This will be the first of its type for Bucks as a whole, since the creation of the Unitary Authority. We have in this area an existing plan, know as the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan, but as a county we do not.

The “Call for sites” revealed proposals with enough land for 600,000 dwellings which does give us options. It is proposed that no development should happen within the Green Belt at all and that the new “Grey Belt” designation can be almost completely discounted.

Work has been going on by officers at Bucks Council as required by order from central government and we are now at the stage of having site specific proposals across the county. The interactive map can be viewed at:

https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/4551b49742e846a4a4f0dad74e08635e

The key for the map is:

Red outline but otherwise empty are sites which have been discounted.

Green shaded areas would go forward unless there are good reasons to not do so.

Blue shaded areas are due to have further analysis and may not necessarily go forward.

Under the last government it was successfully argued that this should be a needs-based assessment which had a figure of 65,000 dwellings over the plan period. Since the new government came to power in 2024 this has been changed to a central directive of 95,500 dwellings, an increase of 43%. Disappointingly this comes with no evidence other than a desire to build more homes. Furthermore, there will be no funding from central government for infrastructure. It is suggested by those that have given this figure, that infrastructure will come from the charges to developers upon completion of individual sites or projects.

From a personal point of view, I have always argued that infrastructure should come before significant development even if costs are then reimbursed to government or local authority. Experience teaches us that developers may agree to a certain level of funding for affordable housing, foul and fresh water connection, electricity grid and transport infrastructure, health services and education provision for example, but that too often they successfully negotiate down after the fact due to economic constraints. To build so many new dwellings within Bucks with no infrastructure plan in place and funding secure could lead to many problems in the future.

Please do look at the online map for your area of work, home and leisure and comment via the Your Voice Bucks portal at: https://yourvoicebucks.citizenspace.com/planning/2aa4b313/

Finally, you may have seen a letter written to Bucks Council and published by the Department for Housing, Communities and Local Government appearing to reprimand Bucks Council for a lack of progress in developing its plan. This is entirely inappropriate and inaccurate as Bucks Council are following the timetable set out by and agreed with the government. We must however keep to this timetable as failure to do so will mean government will take over the process and this will inevitably to even greater numbers being required.

Health and social care when living in rural Bucks

Healthwatch Bucks latest project looks at how those living in the rural parts of Bucks access health and social care.

We know that people living in rural areas may experience health and social care services differently from those living in towns in Buckinghamshire. It’s important for us to learn more about any difficulties these communities might encounter.

So, please tell Healthwatch Bucks what works for you and what could make it easier for you to access any health or social care such as dentists, hospitals, and respite care.

People can share their feedback anonymously via their online survey via this QR code, or on their website https://bit.ly/4jVz2HB

The survey closes on 31 May.

Healthwatch Bucks will write a report summarising what they have been told. It will include recommendations about what would make accessing health and social care rural in Bucks better.

Planning Volunteers Needed – Protect the Chilterns

The Chilterns are under intense and growing pressure from over-development, and we urgently need more local people to help protect our nationally important landscape.

Planning Volunteers Needed – Protect the Chilterns

The Chilterns are facing unprecedented development pressure. Housing targets and weakened planning protections are putting the Green Belt, landscape, and local character at risk.

The Chiltern Society’s Planning Group challenges detrimental planning applications, whilst supporting appropriate development. Our work is respected by planning authorities and is often included in decisions.

We can currently cover only 60% of parishes. That is not enough. We need more local volunteers — WE NEED YOU!

No planning experience is required. We provide training, support and expert guidance. All that’s needed is a passion for your local area.

If you care about the Chilterns, this is your chance to make a real difference.

For more information or to get involved please contact us today

Pitstone – Concerns following incident on 15/01/2026

Pitstone – Concerns following incident on 15/01/2026
Good morning residents of Pitstone,  

It has been raised to the Neighbourhood Teams attention that a number of residents are concerned following an incident on 15th January 2026. It has been noted that members of the community are requesting further information as to the incident and are worried based on the information that they are being told through conversation and Facebook.  

The incident that occurred on 15th January 2026 is believed to be isolated and there is nothing to suggest anything of concern to the wider community.  

The incident is being investigated by Thames Valley Police and a number of enquiries have been completed and will continue. It is likely that residents will have had Police knock on their doors to enquire about whether anything was seen or heard at the time and these enquiries are likely to continue. 

I would ask that if residents have any information that the feel might be useful to the Police in relation to the incident to get in contact via 101 or the online web form submission and quote reference 43260023759. 

If residents would like to get in contact with the local Neighbourhood Policing team then please email WingNHPT@thamesvalley.police.uk.  

Many thanks,  

PC 4291 Jake Bye and PC 2151 Dionne Edwards.
