Welcome

A consortium comprising Aylesbury College, the Fairfield Partnership and Taylor Wimpey is bringing forward outline proposals for a new sustainable community to the south east of Aylesbury.

Our aim is to create a vibrant, new community that will support the future growth and needs of Aylesbury in terms of its objectives on housing and employment, as these will help to underpin the town’s future success and attract further investment in the long term.

Our proposals comprise up to 3,200 new homes, an employment area and educational, community and recreational facilities on land to be known as Hampden Fields, lying between Weston Turville and Bedgrove.

Consultation on the outline proposals was undertaken towards the end of last year and a leaflet providing an update on the development of the scheme, an overview of the main issues raised during consultation and our responses can be viewed here. Details of the issues raised less frequently during consultation can be found within the Statement of Community Involvement, which was included within the supporting information for the planning application.

Planning Application

An outline planning application has recently been submitted to Aylesbury Vale District Council.  You can review the application on the Council’s website by searching for reference 12/00605 in the planning portal or by clicking here.

You can also view all of the submitted application documents on our website via the following link: www.hampdenfields-application.co.uk

The Hampden Fields site is broadly reflective of the District Council’s previously proposed South East Strategic Development Area. An independent inspector who examined the Council’s now withdrawn Core Strategy in early 2010 said in his interim statement:

“I should make it clear at the outset of this note that I consider the Aylesbury South East site (Site D), which has a capacity for about 3,400 homes, to be the best performing element of all proposals and should be included in any strategy. The SE element of the AGA (site D) represents a sustainable urban extension; there would be limited landscape, heritage, biodiversity, or flooding impacts...”
