Project: Woburn Sands South
Client
O&H
Local Planning Authority
Milton Keynes Council
Our client’s land is allocated in the local plan (Plan:MK) for Milton Keynes City Council as part of the South East Milton Keynes Urban Extension (SEMK). The proposal is for 335 homes, with the layout of the scheme being in compliance with the SEMK SPD. We submitted an outline planning application with all matters reserved except for access.
An outline planning permission was submitted in 2022, with an additional round of consultation occurring after the initial consultee feedback, as amendments were required to ensure consultees were satisfied.
We worked as main consultant, attending meetings with different technical officers from the council, as well as producing the planning material required for the planning application. We also attended parish council meetings and other community group meetings on behalf of our client to engage with the local community for this large scale project.
