Parish Council

Local Planning

One of the important functions of the Parish Council is to comment on local planning applications received by Chiltern District Council. Our comments are taken into account but are not necessarily accepted.

We have a planning committee, which meets every three or four weeks at either St Leonards or Cholesbury Village Hall. Applications may also be considered at full meetings of the Parish Council, which take place every two months. Agendas for all these meetings are posted on the Council's Notices board at Buckland Common and at other notice boards throughout the Parish.

Unfortunately, due to the timetable for processing planning applications, these are posted at fairly short notice.

Members of the public are welcome, and encouraged, to attend all meetings of the Council, including meetings of the Planning Committee. You will be given an opportunity to speak on specific planning applications or any other matters affecting the Parish, if you so wish.

If you have an interest in a particular planning application you are usually invited to look at the plans at the District Council's office in Amersham, where the staff will give you expert advice on planning matters. Applications are also available to view online here.


Meeting minutes

The Agendas and Minutes of the parish council meetings are posted on the notice boards. These are located at Cholesbury Common (in the cricket club car park), Buckland Common (next to the post box), St Leonards (outside the parish hall), The Vale (outside the Black Horse pub), and also, if possible, at the blacksmith's noticeboard in Hawridge.

They may also be read here.
