^{Neighbourhood Development Plan progress}

The 5th Draft of our Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) was approved by the Parish Council on 24th August 2021 and was forwarded on 2nd September to Buckinghamshire Council Planning Department to begin the 3-stage formal approval process. When it gets approval it will then go to an Independent Examiner and, after their approval, to Public Referendum for Parishioners to vote on its acceptance into law. The Draft NDP can be found, and downloaded as a PDF file, under the Neighbourhood Development Plan tab above.

In the meantime, if you have any comments or questions please do email the Clerk who will pass them to the NDP Working Party for answering.

^{Sapper’s field sinkhole}

The field remains closed to the public as the sinkhole which appeared back in February 2020, quickly grew to a diameter of 60 feet wide by 140 feet deep and is an ongoing issue. We have been seeking expert advice to survey the sinkhole to advise options to mitigate any dangers and to survey the whole field, as there is a risk there may be others. In the meantime, we would ask the public to respect the signage and stay out of the field as we do not know if the sinkhole is stable or whether other parts of the field are safe. More details of the reports we have received can be found under the above News tab.
