Planning Applications in
Buckinghamshire

Buckinghamshire is part of the South East region. Search any postcode in Buckinghamshire to see recent planning applications near you — including extensions, new builds, demolitions, and change of use applications.

Buckinghamshire Council is often written as Bucks. It has handled planning for the former Aylesbury Vale District Council (AVDC), Chiltern District Council, South Bucks District Council and Wycombe District Council areas since 2020, so older applications may still be referenced under those names. The authority covers Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Amersham and Beaconsfield and the surrounding parishes.

What PlanWatch Is Tracking in Buckinghamshire

PlanWatch currently holds 4,762 Buckinghamshire planning records across 2,730 unique postcode locations, with tracked application dates from 2026-02-01 to 2026-09-02. The most common categories in this dataset are Full (1,981), Householder (1,003), Certificate of Lawfulness (454).

Use this page to start with a postcode search, then open the official council record for the decision notice, drawings, consultation deadline and any later conditions. That matters because a short application description rarely shows the details neighbours and buyers care about: side windows, roof forms, access, drainage, tree works, opening hours or amended plans.

Check approved drawings

Match drawing numbers and revision letters before relying on a plan.

Read conditions

Find conditions that control privacy, noise, drainage, materials or timing.

Write a useful objection

Keep comments factual, specific and tied to material planning issues.
