Planning policy in Chalfont St Peter
The constraints we test before design begins, not after a refusal.
- Buckinghamshire Council determines applications, with parts of the parish inside the Chilterns National Landscape.
- The village centre conservation area controls materials and frontage changes.
- Green Belt surrounds the built-up area, which limits new plots and favours replacement dwellings.
- Neighbour amenity, particularly the 45 degree test, usually sets the depth of a rear extension.
- The Misbourne valley means drainage and ground conditions need checking early on lower plots.
