Hide AdIf successful, the new homes will be built on Kimblewick Road in Little Kimble.
Cala Homes has submitted the plan to Bucks Council and states that 22 of the homes will be affordable.
The site, which already has outline planning permission, would bring a mix of homes ranging from one- and two-bedroom apartments to houses with up to five bedrooms.

Cala Homes says that residents would have quick and easy access to green areas and outdoor leisure activities.
Included within the plans is a new footpath to join the site to the nearby public right of way. This will enable people to walk direct from the site to the famous ‘Aylesbury Ring’, a long-distance rambling route which winds through beautiful, varied countryside.

Cala Homes is also planning to renovate the properties with renewable technologies such as providing all homes with air source heat pumps.
Sean Watson, senior land manager at Cala Homes says: “There is a significant housing shortage in Buckinghamshire, and we are thrilled to be able to submit our plans to the council to deliver much needed homes in Little Kimble to help address this lack of homes in the local area.

Affordable housing is available to households who otherwise could not house themselves, for example, because they would struggle to afford the cost of housing in the open market, or they need a specific type of house which is not commonly available.
