Past consultations

Below are some examples of consultations (now closed) that we have recently undertaken.

Local Development Order (closed: 19 February 2010)

This consultation is now closed. We wish to create a Local Development Order (LDO) to provide a flexible approach to use classes in the historic White Hart Street/Queen Square area of High Wycombe town centre to help fill up empty shop units here. The effect of the LDO would be that planning permission would not be required for certain uses on the ground floor units in the area. This consultation invited comments on the draft LDO. More about Planning consultations.

Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople interim policy statement (closed: 29 January 2010)

This consultation is now closed. We are required by the Government to identify a number of sites to meet the housing needs of Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople. Working together with planning consultants, Baker Associates, we identified a number of possible locations across Wycombe district and developed a draft interim policy statement (IPS) to provide a framework to meet shorter-term needs. This consultation invited comments on the IPS. More about Gypsy and Traveller services.

Consultation on the future use of Holywell Mead leisure facilities (closed: 22 January 2010)

This consultation is now closed. The Council wants to see the complex reopened as a leisure facility. The challenge is to make the mix of leisure activities exciting enough to make this a well used service that operates at no cost to the Council taxpayer so we are inviting local residents to tell us what they would like see at the site. More about the Holywell Mead public consultation.

Designated Public Place Order in High Wycombe town centre (closed: 4 January 2010)

This consultation is now closed. If approved, the Order is scheduled to become effective from April 2010 and will create a zone in which the police have powers to confiscate alcohol from people drinking in a public area. More information will be posted when available.

Buckinghamshire Place Survey

Nearly 14,500 Buckinghamshire residents including 3,500 from Wycombe district received the Place Survey questionnaire at the end of 2008.

Results will be published in spring 2009.
