Limitations
The planning history contained within the site is incomplete and must not be used as a substitute for carrying out a formal Land Charge Search.

Under normal circumstances details of new valid planning applications will be visible on the site within 5 working days of receipt. Copies of the application forms and plans can be seen at our offices at Capswood.  South Bucks District Council reserves the right to remove or not display certain planning information for confidentiality or other reasons.
The service continues to be developed but at the present time no constraint information or associated documents are available via PublicAccess.

Ordnance Survey Positional Accuracy Improvement Programme:
Ordnance Survey is currently undertaking a national programme to improve the accuracy of their mapping. Within Buckinghamshire this programme will continue until March 2006 and during this time councils will be amending their own mapping to coincide with any changes made by Ordnance Survey.  As a result there may be times when the mapping within Public Access does not coincide as expected. Whilst we will endeavour to minimise these discrepancies we cannot be held responsible for any such errors or actions taken as a result of these errors.
