New housing in Buckinghamshire Council

We read Buckinghamshire Council's planning register every day. We hold 18,437 of its planning applications going back to 2019, and 155 of those made in the last 12 months are for new homes.

Buckinghamshire Council cannot show five years of housing land: between 0.9 and 3.7 years across its 4 planning areas (as of 31 Mar 2025). National policy treats that as an unmet need for housing, which makes it easier to get permission for homes on land well related to its towns and villages.

It delivered 94% of the homes it needed in the 2025 Housing Delivery Test, below 95%, so it must publish an action plan to speed up delivery.

The housing supply figures were found by web search and haven't yet been checked by a person. The sources are linked below.
