Plans for a huge new neighbourhood in Buckinghamshire are set to be unveiled in a public consultation later this month. Developers behind a 3,000-home scheme are calling on those living in the area to have their say on their initial ideas.
Taylor Wimpey secured outline planning permission for 3,000 properties in Hampden Fields in Aylesbury back in June 2021. The overall scheme also includes two new primary schools, a doctor’s surgery and more than 100 hectares of public open space.
On top of that, sports pitches and employment land for 1,200 jobs are also mooted. The proposals include around £100m through s106 funding paid for by the developer to Buckinghamshire Council.
Taylor Wimpey says that 30 per cent of the properties will be affordable housing. A park and ride facility, as well as a mixed-use local centre, are also planned.
A public exhibition will be held at Weston Turville Village Hall on Thursday, April 27, between 3pm and 8pm, which will give those living near the development site a chance to see how it could end up looking.
A Taylor Wimpey spokesperson said: “The development is south of Aylesbury town centre and will form a sustainable, urban extension to the town and its existing amenities. It is proposed that the new mixed-use local centre will comprise a variety of retail stores, a health centre, restaurant and café units, a gym, a day nursery and a community space. Taylor Wimpey’s contribution to the community will total over £70 million.
“Conveniently situated between the A41 and A413 corridors, the development is well serviced by multiple local bus routes and is less than a 10-minute walk from Stoke Mandeville railway station. Aylesbury railway station is 1.6 miles away with the town centre a short 15-minute cycle from the development. “
