You will have a further opportunity to provide comment to Wycombe District Council during the planning application process.
02 HOUSING NEED Housing Need Every council is required by the government to boost significantly the supply of housing and to make planning decisions in the light of a presumption in favour of sustainable development. The latest housing study identified a need in Wycombe District of between 480 720 dwellings per year. Wycombe District Council have identified rinces Risborough as a market town, having a good range of community facilities and available services. It is clear that there is a need for houses to meet the present and unmet and future needs of the community within rinces Risborough and Wycombe District as a whole.

05 VISUAL CONTEXT Visual Analysis The site lies on arable fields to the east of Monks Risborough. Existing residential development and rail infrastructure provide an established urban/rural fringe character. Views to the north and west are constrained by a combination of existing residential development and tall hedgerows at the site boundary while, to 3 the east and south, the prominent landform of the Chiltern Hills (an Area 2 of Outstanding Natural Beauty) rises above the intervening settlement. 1 This indicates that views from within the AONB should be considered within the proposals.
