Earlier this year , Wycombe District Council refused permission for
36 two storey dwelling houses to be built on Hoppers Farm (The site
currently owned by British United Turkeys Ltd. which is located in
Great Kingshill in the parish of Hughenden.
The developers have appealed against the refusal and there will be a
Public Inquiry scheduled for 27/28th Jan 2009 in the Chambers
of Wycombe District Council.
CPRE Bucks are supporting W D C's decision to refuse planning
permission for this development and welcomes local support from
its members to attend the Appeal.
This site is not only green belt but is situated in
Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and to allow
development would undermine the whole AONB policy.
