We are delighted that South Bucks District Council turned down the National Trust's planning application to build 170 units at Cliveden. The Hitcham & Taplow Preservation Society opposed this application. It was almost identical in design to the 191 application, which went to public inquiry on the 8th August (see below). The footprint was approximately the same but the 41 small affordable units were replaced by 20 larger units. It was proposed to give an unspecified sum to SBDC in lieu of building the affordable homes. It remains to be seen if the National Trust will appeal this decision.
