Description

Introduction

The residential development plot at Griffin Field presents an opportunity to develop two three-bedroom semi-detached dwellings with gardens, landscaping and car parking.
Full planning permission was granted by Buckinghamshire Council on 1st April 2026 (Reference: 24/02414/ APP).

Location

The property is situated within Griffin Field, positioned to the east of High Street South on the south-eastern edge of the village of Stewkley. The surroundings comprise a mixture of residential dwellings constructed circa. 20 years ago with open space directly opposite. A footpath leading to the High Street provides excellent connectivity to the rest of the village.

The Dwellings

The two proposed dwellings are each three-bedroom semi-detached properties arranged over two storeys, extending to approximately 101 sq m (1,087 sq ft) each. The dwellings are proposed to be constructed to a high standard using materials sympathetic to the local vernacular, with red brick and roof tiles reflecting the character of the surrounding properties and the design guidance set out in the Stewkley Neighbourhood Plan.

Each dwelling will benefit from an entrance hall, a spacious living room, a downstairs WC, a utility room and a large kitchen with bi-fold doors leading onto a private garden. On the first floor, three well-proportioned bedrooms are provided, the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite, alongside a family bathroom. Both dwellings will further benefit from off-street parking for two vehicles and electric vehicle charging points, ideal for modern family living.

Conditions

Full planning permission has been granted in accordance with the policies of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (2013–2033) and the Stewkley Parish Neighbourhood Plan (2013–2033), with the support of Stewkley Parish Council. The principal conditions require the submission and approval of external materials prior to construction above slab level, the provision of a surface water drainage scheme, and a Sustainable Construction and Energy Statement.

A biodiversity impact assessment has been completed confirming the development will benefit from a net gain in biodiversity. A management scheme will be required to be submitted by the purchaser(s) to be approved by the local authority to secure the future management of this area.
