Rectory Homes
Aylesbury Road, Wendover
What is Being Planned?
Rectory Homes are pleased to bring forward this proposal for new homes and open space in the town of Wendover. As a local Buckinghamshire based developer we are committed to building new developments that are sustainable and sensitive to the local community, demonstrated by our track record.
The site is situated to the north-western edge of Wendover, west of Halton Lane and north of Aylesbury Road. We are preparing a planning application for up to 85 homes individually designed with modern family living in mind, to sensitively fit in with the rural edge of the town and natural character of the Chilterns.
Access will be taken from Aylesbury Road.
This development will provide a mix of private 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes. 25% of the new homes will be transferred to a housing association as conventional affordable housing.
Each of our developments is created for their unique location. Homes will be built to the high standards we expect using quality materials. We have a strong track record of delivering quality developments throughout Buckinghamshire.
The scheme will offer several benefits for both new and existing residents within Wendover. These benefits will come in the form of financial contributions to Buckinghamshire Council who will direct the funds to where they are most needed within Wendover. This may look like additional funding to services such as doctors’ surgery’s, upgrades to pavements and cycle lanes or new planting and benches in existing council managed open spaces. This will all be managed by the Council with the aim of mitigating additional pressures placed on local services as a result of the new homes within the town.
The development will provide new access to open spaces and woodland walking routes. Rectory are keen for residents to feed into ideas for the development. Our ambitions are to improve connectivity with new walking routes and accessibility to new open spaces for all residents of the town. Extensive landscaping will be provided in the open space areas, which will include a new walkway, planting and open drainage features to enhance biodiversity.
Sustainability is increasingly important throughout the construction cycle starting with the design and build of houses. We aim to reduce our carbon footprint and to benefit the eventual homeowners. Each home will have EV charging and air source heating as standard along with selective PV panels where utility infrastructure capacity allows.
Who Are Rectory Homes?
Based in Haddenham, Buckinghamshire, Rectory is a family business in its 30th year. Rectory focuses on select developments, ensuring that our plans will benefit the local community and environment.
Designed in Buckinghamshire for Buckinghamshire residents.
We have built developments across a range of locations in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Surrey and Middlesex. Each development is unique, planned and designed according to the specific site characteristics. We do not use standard house designs, which encourages developments to be unique and interesting. Each house design is carefully considered by our in-house team to meet the needs and desires of the local community of existing and future residents.
At the heart of everything we do is the creation of beautiful homes, tailored to their surroundings. All our developments provide a net gain to biodiversity and leave a positive legacy of both community-driven design and positive environmental contribution. We use local trades and companies to construct our new homes wherever possible and we support local communities in the areas we build.
Rectory Foundation
The Rectory Foundation is about supporting the communities that need it most in Buckinghamshire and beyond. We are looking to give opportunities in places where they may be lacking, improve the offerings of community projects and support our healthcare systems with the most up to date technology within this part of the country.
When we build homes in a community we want to support that injection of new life and also those who live there currently. The Rectory Foundation to its core is about building and strengthening communities beyond bricks and mortar.
Who Are These Homes For?
These homes are designed to be suitable for members of the Wendover community who are looking to downsize, upsize or allow the next generation to live close to home. Homes by Rectory Homes are built by trusted trades with lasting legacy in mind.
We are proposing to deliver 25% affordable homes suitable for young families, key workers, and first-time buyers, and these are spread throughout the proposed development.
Our plans will provide homes suitable for residents who have mobility difficulties so that they can move to a home with modern accessibility standards whilst remaining close to the community and support network that is so important.
Housing Need
Wendover falls within the Aylesbury Vale Area, a division of Buckinghamshire Council. Like many places across the country, the Vale of Aylesbury is suffering from a housing shortage. Young people are often forced to stay living at home longer, families do not have the opportunities to grow and the opportunities for housing are limited.
This drastically affects the ability for residents in the local area to get a foothold on the housing ladder, and as family circumstances change, those seeking to downsize or upsize to smaller or larger homes struggle to find suitable housing for their needs.
We understand that new developments can raise questions by the local community, and we are committed to working with the people in Wendover. With recent changes by the Government, it will be a requirement for communities to deliver more housing. Rectory Homes want to ensure that this community is involved in deciding how best to deliver those new homes. We welcome your thoughts and feedback on our proposals to ensure your voice is heard.
