Currently, Buckinghamshire Council are unable to approve any new construction in Chesham & Amersham due to the Beechwoods SAC moratorium which came into effect in March 2022. Planning applications have been rejected in this time but the Council have been unable to approve applications.Work is very well advanced and the moratorium on development is due to be lifted shortly. In July 2024, Buckinghamshire Council Cabinet approved a full mitigation strategy, part of which requires developers to make a financial contribution of £87.93 per dwelling. Before the moratorium can be lifted, a Suitable Alternative Natural Green Space (SANG) is needed, and four different SANG planning applications have been submitted by the Council. Many of these SANG applications are in their final stages and due to be decided soon. Please search the term ‘SANG’ on Buckinghamshire Council’s Planning Portal to find each application.Each of the three proposed units are valued at between £525,000 - £550,000, giving a Gross Development Value of £1.57million - £1.65million.
