We did

Some changes have been made to the SPD to reflect public views and new information. These changes include: 

  • requiring a strategic outer link road of 40mph, reducing to 30-mph speed limit when connecting into H6 Childs Way 
  • Shenley Road is to be closed to vehicular traffic and instead be used as an active travel route for walking and cycling 
  • informal sports provision and a children’s play area to be located away from the Whaddon buffer to provide greater separation between the two communities 
  • an area of open space to be located near to the houses in Kingsmead Green at H6 Childs Way to provide recreation land that is away from the grid road reserve 
  • the removal of references to a potential Park and Ride 
  • enhance provision of footpaths and cycleways  

On 13 February 2024, Cabinet approved the Shenley Park Supplementary Planning Document for adoption.

Overview

Buckinghamshire Council loo

We want your views on the draft Shenley Park Supplementary Planning Document.

Supplementary planning documents provide guidance on policies in the adopted local plans in Buckinghamshire and should be read in conjunction with the local plan to which they relate.

They are a material consideration when determining planning applications.
