The HELAA sites are part of the evidence for the plan and are not, themselves, open to consultation.

61: Land South East of Little Chalfont (Former Little Chalfont Golf Course)

Post Code: HP8 4AJ

Parish: Little Chalfont

Nearest Settlement: Little Chalfont

Site Size: 26.94 ha

Promoted for: Housing

Suitability: Unsuitable

Availability: Yes

Achievability: Yes

Capacity: 0 homes / ha of employment

Site Assessment Conclusion: The site is considered suitable for development, with planning permission having been granted on appeal for residential and care home development. As the site already benefits from planning permission, it is not proposed for allocation through the Local Plan.

117: Land North East of Burtons Lane

Post Code: HP84BA

Parish: Little Chalfont

Nearest Settlement: Little Chalfont

Site Size: 1.95 ha

Promoted for: Housing

Suitability: Unsuitable

Availability: Yes

Achievability: No

Capacity: 0 homes / ha of employment

Site Assessment Conclusion: Unsustainable due to distance from village centre. Constrained site where development would negatively affect the street scene and local rural character. Would be major development in the AONB.

256: Land at Raans Road, Amersham

Post Code: HP6 6JP

Parish: Amersham, Little Chalfont

Nearest Settlement: Little Chalfont

Site Size: 4.92 ha

Promoted for: Housing

Suitability: Unsuitable

Availability: Yes

Achievability: No

Capacity: 0 homes / ha of employment

Site Assessment Conclusion: The site is unsuitable for development due to poor access arrangements, with Raans Road narrowing beyond the railway line and therefore unable to safely accommodate increased traffic, particularly HGVs, alongside constraints from the adjacent railway lines and potential impacts on the open countryside and landscape. The site is located within the Green Belt, where development would result in unacceptable intrusion into the countryside and no exceptional circumstances have been demonstrated to justify its release, and is therefore not considered suitable for allocation.

472: Land adjacent to Stony Lane, Little Chalfont

Post Code: HP6 6RU

Parish: Little Chalfont

Nearest Settlement: Little Chalfont

Site Size: 10.36 ha

Promoted for: Housing

Suitability: Unsuitable

Availability: Yes

Achievability: No

Capacity: 0 homes / ha of employment

Site Assessment Conclusion: The site is unsuitable for development due to its conflict with the established settlement pattern and the unacceptable harm that development would cause to heritage assets, woodland, and the wider landscape. The site is also located within the Chilterns National Landscape and the Green Belt, where no exceptional circumstances have been demonstrated to justify its release, and is therefore not suitable for allocation.

572: Land at Nightingales Lane, Chalfont St Giles

Post Code: HP8 4UB

Parish: Little Chalfont

Nearest Settlement: Little Chalfont

Site Size: 2.17 ha

Promoted for: Unknown

Suitability: Unsuitable

Availability: Yes

Achievability: No

Capacity: 0 homes / ha of employment

Site Assessment Conclusion: The site is unsuitable for development due to the absence of suitable access and the unacceptable impact that development would have on the heavily wooded character of the site. The site is also located within the Green Belt and partially within the Chilterns National Landscape, where no exceptional circumstances have been demonstrated to justify its release, and is therefore not suitable for allocation.

781: Land to the north of Bell Lane, Little Chalfont

Post Code: HP6 6PF

Parish: Amersham

Nearest Settlement: Little Chalfont

Site Size: 38.62 ha

Promoted for: Housing, Environmental = Country Park, Leisure = Community Facility

Suitability: Unsuitable

Availability: Yes

Achievability: No

Capacity: 0 homes / ha of employment

Site Assessment Conclusion: The site is unsuitable for development as it lies within the Green Belt, where development would harm openness and result in unacceptable intrusion into the open countryside. There are no exceptional circumstances to justify the release of this site from the Green Belt, and it is therefore not suitable for allocation.

947: 68 to 78 Elizabeth Avenue, Little Chalfont

Post Code: HP6 6QJ

Parish: Little Chalfont

Nearest Settlement: Little Chalfont

Site Size: 0.25 ha

Promoted for: Unknown

Suitability: Suitable

Availability: Yes

Achievability: Yes

Capacity: 15 homes / 0 ha of employment

Site Assessment Conclusion: The site is considered suitable for development as it is well located, free from significant constraints, and situated in a sustainable and viable location. The site has previously benefited from planning permission for residential development and, given its current business use, is also considered suitable for employment use.

948: Rear of St Georges Church, White Lion Road, Little Chalfont

Post Code: HP7 9LW

Parish: Little Chalfont

Nearest Settlement: Little Chalfont

Site Size: 0.40 ha

Promoted for: Unknown

Suitability: Suitable

Availability: Yes

Achievability: Yes

Capacity: 15 homes / ha of employment

Site Assessment Conclusion: The site is considered suitable for development due to its sustainable location and the presence of community facilities, subject to the re-provision of existing uses. Development is likely to be limited in scale due to constraints including protected trees and locally listed features, and the site is therefore suitable for a small-scale scheme.

1275: Pineapple Road, Amersham

Post Code: HP7 9JY

Parish: Amersham / Little Chalfont

Nearest Settlement: Little Chalfont

Site Size: 6.92 ha

Promoted for: Unknown

Suitability: Unsuitable

Availability: Unsure

Achievability: No

Capacity: 0 homes / ha of employment

Site Assessment Conclusion: The site is unsuitable for development due to its location within the Green Belt, where it would result in coalescence between settlements and cause unacceptable harm to landscape character and ecological interests. There are no exceptional circumstances to justify the release of this site from the Green Belt, and it is therefore not suitable for allocation.

Site Size: 8.14 ha

Promoted for: Housing
