Core Strategy Background Documents

The Council has conducted or commissioned various studies to provide a robust and credible evidence base for the adopted South Bucks Local Plan and Core Strategy. A few relevant studies have also been prepared by Buckinghamshire County Council. The Council is also preparing an evidence base for the Emerging Local Plan which will be added to as the plan progresses.

These studies address issues including housing need, housing land supply, development viability, townscape character, employment land, infrastructure requirements and many more.
