In partnership with Wexham Park Golf Centre, Hawridge Land is bringing forward proposals to deliver residential-led development across two parcels of land which form part of the existing golf course provision at Wexham Park Golf Centre. This will consist of up to 700 new homes across two separate outline planning applications, comprised of around 450 homes on the eastern parcel and around 250 homes on the western parcel.

The homes will be delivered in a range of sizes, with a significant 50% provided as affordable housing. The proposals also include the potential for new community and play spaces, alongside substantial open green space.

There is a clear need for new homes in Buckinghamshire, particularly in this part of the county. Buckinghamshire Council is currently unable to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites; as of March 2026, the southern area of the county is operating at just a 0.97 year supply of housing sites for the period 2025-2030. There are also over 7,000 households in Buckinghamshire who are on the housing waiting list and this number is growing.

The emerging proposals present a unique opportunity to create high-quality, sustainable homes in a range of sizes that help meet this need, including 50% affordable.

The proposals will also help us secure the long-term future of the centre in perpetuity to the benefit of the wider community.

50% of the new homes will be made available through a range of affordable tenure types. This equates to up to 350 new affordable homes in total across both applications.

In December 2024, national planning policy was revised to introduce the concept of ‘Grey Belt’ land. This recognises that not all land within the Green Belt performs the same role and that some sites may be appropriate for development where they are well located, sustainable and capable of being sensitively designed.

While both sites are currently designated as Green Belt, we believe they have strong potential to be considered Grey Belt land, given their location and accessibility to existing amenities and transport links along with other landscape characteristics.

Affordable housing can take a variety of forms. The term is defined in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) as homes that are for sale or rent for those individuals “whose needs are not met by the market”. In simple terms, their price is set below local market rates. We are working up a proposal that will cover a range of different affordable tenures to respond to local market needs which will include rented accommodation and shared ownership housing.

We appreciate that traffic is a concern to local people. We will be completing a full transport assessment and will work closely with Buckinghamshire and Slough Borough Council’s highways teams to ensure that the proposals are able to suitably mitigate any impact on the local road network. The site will also benefit from access to a new nearby Gallions Park bus stop, which supports sustainable transport options and helps reduce reliance on private vehicles.

An outline application establishes whether the principle and parameters of development are acceptable. It does not fix detailed design; matters such as appearance, materials, exact layout and scale will be decided later through Reserved Matters applications, which will include further consultation.

As part of the emerging proposals, the current 27-hole golf course provision will eventually be reduced to a nine-hole course to the east. The clubhouse, car park, driving range facilities and adventure golf will remain open to members indefinitely, with events continuing as usual for several years to come.

Taking these steps now will allow us to secure the long-term future of the Centre in perpetuity to the benefit of the wider community.

Yes. We are committed to ensuring both existing courses remain open as usual throughout the planning and early construction phases should planning permission be granted. This means members and visitors will be able to continue to use both courses until at least 2028.

We are committed to meaningful consultation and are keen to hear your views on the proposals for both sites before the planning applications are submitted. There will be several opportunities to share views, including via our online survey on our dedicated project website, by completing a physical feedback form or by speaking to a member of the team directly via the contact details provided.

We are currently in the process of formulating the plans for the site in collaboration with members and the wider local community. Once this consultation period has concluded, we will look to incorporate the feedback received. We are aiming to submit two separate outline planning applications for the two sites to Buckinghamshire Council in early summer 2026.
