At a Growth, Infrastructure & Housing Select Committee on Tuesday, councillors said Bucks is ‘on track’ despite the ‘tight’ timetable which was ‘forced’ upon them. It is aiming to publish the full local plan in July for a six-week consultation – and must submit this by December 31 to meet Government deadlines. Some councillors are concerned that if any potential housing sites are passed over, the local authority will simply not be able to meet its targets. Cllr Waters said he thought infrastructure links, eg roads, are ‘the biggest concern’ as communities get larger. On the housing subject, Cllr Morgan said she thought it was a ‘mistake’ that Bucks council is not looking at building its own housing.
