Learn more about our proposals for 194 homes at Salden Place
We are preparing a Reserved Matters planning application for phase 1C of our development on land previously known as Salden Park, Buckinghamshire. The wider site was granted Outline Planning Permission in December 2022 for a total of 1,855 homes, open green spaces and community amenities. We are now progressing plans for individual land parcels and strategic infrastructure under Reserved Matters applications.
This next phase of development is located within Salden Place’s southern neighbourhood, and to the south of Phase 1A, which is named Salden Place East and is currently on sale. The site will be accessed from Garner Street running north to south.
It’s important to us that we listen to the view of the local community as we develop our plans. We held an online consultation from Monday 20th October to 31st October 2025 and the consultation period is now closed. All feedback received will shape our planning application, which we intend to submit to Buckinghamshire Council in Autumn 2025.

About the development
Homes proposed
Our proposals comprise 194 homes, with 34% (66) of which will be designated as affordable housing. The market housing will consist of two-bedroom apartments as well as two to five-bedroom homes. The affordable housing mix will incorporate one-bedroom apartments and two to four-bedroom homes.
We have carefully planned the mix of housing sizes to ensure we meet local housing needs whilst making a positive contribution to the character of the local area. As part of our Reserved Matters application, we will ensure the housing mix will align with local policy and community requirements.
Masterplan
Our proposals are seeking to provide new homes within the 1C parcel at Salden Park, including 194 high-quality and energy-efficient homes.
Future phases
Salden Park has been divided into three main phases of development. The first phase has been divided into three parcels - 1A, 1B, and 1C - and Reserved Matters permission has already been granted for parcels 1A and 1B. Phases two and three are planned for future delivery, and we will be submitting separate Reserved Matters applications for each of them as the scheme progresses.
Our proposals features
Connectivity
Connectivity is a key part of our plans for the Salden Park development, and Phase 1C will be designed to provide convenient, safe ways for residents to travel.
Our plans include a fully integrated street network, with every street connected, with pedestrian and cycle access as standard. Private driveways will also serve no more than six homes, and each of these driveways will incorporate pedestrian links to the surrounding development.
To help support active and sustainable travel, the streets within all phases of development at Salden Park will link directly to footpaths and cycleways within open spaces, so residents can easily access the development’s green infrastructure. The development will also connect to neighbouring developments and key routes, such as Hamilton Lane.
The apartments will provide key focal points within the development to enhance placemaking and create easily defined public spaces. We have taken care within our proposals to ensure the design of the development supports accessibility at every stage, with all external steps and barriers safe and visually unobtrusive.

Drainage
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) will be integrated throughout the wider Salden Park development to deliver better drainage and enhance the ecology of the local area. The SuDS will be designed with safety in mind, particularly those that are situated near to the development’s sustainable travel routes.
Existing hedgerows will be retained and incorporated into our drainage strategy, and culverts will be added where necessary to safely accommodate roads and paths. Water runoff will be managed with the installation of additional swales and ditches to direct water runoff to existing ditches and attenuation basins. These areas will be enclosed if they are near accessible paths, and to maintain the overall character of the development, these enclosures will consist of native hedgerows or post and rail fencing to maintain the safety of our residents whilst creating an ecologically rich site.

Ecology
We’re committed to supporting biodiversity across each of our sites, and we’ll be incorporating a number of features and measures to encourage safe public interaction and habitat creation. Our landscape strategy for Salden Park includes ecology ponds, hedgerow and tree planting, wildflower meadows, and grassland areas with an orchard to improve the area’s ecological value.
We’ll also be installing bird and bat boxes throughout the site to encourage nesting and improve species diversity, with hedgehog highways incorporated into fence design to support their natural behaviours. These features will create a visually rich, ecologically resilient environment that helps wildlife thrive while giving residents excellent access to nature.
Our approach features
Amenities and facilities
Green open space throughout the development will be carefully planned to ensure it complements the overall layout and character of the development. While play areas will be evenly distributed to provide convenient access for all residents, supporting inclusive and active neighbourhoods. These spaces will benefit from good natural surveillance, helping to create safe and welcoming environments and to ensure enjoyable play, all play areas will be designed to achieve a ‘Good’ rating under recognised play value standards. All formal play facilities—including Local Equipment Areas for Play (LEAPs), Neighbourhood Equipped Areas for Play (NEAPs), Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs), and skate parks—will be delivered in line with national guidance, while ‘Play On The Way’ equipment will be installed every 100 metres along key corridors to promote informal play and active movement across the site.
The inclusion of two-metre-wide footpaths, with benches placed no more than 250 metres apart, will increase accessibility whilst encouraging rest and social interaction. Tree planting will feature robust species to ensure stability and long-term growth.
Open space
Open space is a key feature of our plans for Salden Park. There will be a mix of recreational and community facilities designed to enhance the local landscape and improve residents’ wellbeing, with informal sports and play areas complemented by nature-based open spaces.
All green spaces, including wildlife ponds and green corridors, will be connected by a network of accessible footpaths and cycleways, helping to encourage sustainable travel whilst making it as easy as possible for residents to enjoy the outdoors.
Play areas will reflect the character of the surrounding neighbourhoods, with all play areas throughout the development to be linked via ‘play on the way’ routes.
Sports and community facilities will be easily accessible via pedestrian routes. Green spaces, pocket parks, and amenities will perfectly reflect the local character, and the development’s planting schedule will inform our woodland and orchard planting.
Each of these individual elements forms part of a well-connected, thoughtfully designed, and welcoming public space.
Community benefits features
Previous planning applications
Outline Planning permission was granted for Salden Park for a mixed-use development consisting of 1,855 homes in December 2022.
Reserved Matters approvals were then secured for parcels 1A and 1B, confirming that our proposals complied with the approved plans and design principles that were set out in the Outline Planning consent. The homes for these two parcels of land are currently under construction and are on sale from the newly opened sales area on Buckingham Road.
These approvals support the phased delivery of residential development across the site and confirm their alignment with planning conditions and local authority requirements.
